Twin Suns
"Or twin girls, or a boy and a girl, what do you think?"
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
"Back on Coruscant at last" Anakin smiled as he walked into Rex's room. "How's my favorite Captain, Rex?" He had a goofy grin, one Rex knew meant chaos.
"...Sir?" Rex put down his helmet and stiffened to attention. Only to be met with a slap on the back. "Sir!-" Rex choked as he tripped forward. He caught himself then turned to Anakin with a grumpy glare.
"Sorry Rexy, I just-"
"Don't call me that-"
"-am really happy right now. The end of the war is here, I can sense it." Anakin walked around, chest puffed out and robe perfectly placed, "By the end of this week, I will be a new man."
Rex rolled his eyes and slumped into his chair, resting his face in his hand, he tried to figure out why Anakin was acting like this, his eyes sparked with realization. "You saw Padme-" Rex started to smile slowly, "You saw Padme."
Anakin's eyes lit up, "Rex!" He grinned, "Rex what do you know?!" He laughed as he pulled his captain up. "What do you know, buddy?"
Rex laughed, Anakin was so giddy, there's no way it wasn't this, "I know Padme's leaving for Naboo in two days and that you have an event happening three days from now." Rex teased as Anakin's excitement grew.
"You know about the babies?!" Anakin jumped in excitement.
"Oh I know about the babies!" They jumped and laughed with each other. Anakin pull Rex into a hug and all he could do was laugh. They held each other in excitement, and maybe Anakin started to cry.
"Rex," Anakin had never been this happy. He was about to be a father. "I'm so excited! We're gonna go to Naboo, Padme's gonna give birth, I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna change a diaper, I'm gonna never sleep again, and they're gonna cry all the time and Padme and I are gonna be exhausted and... I can't wait-" He rambled.
Rex smiled, he couldn't wait for the babies either. He was gonna play hide and seek with them, take them to target practice, and other activities infants participate in. "By the end of the week Rex, I'm gonna be a Dad-" Anakin was determined to do right. He was going to leave the order, retire to Naboo and love Padme and their children. He was going to support his family, he was going to bring Ahsoka home, bring Rex too. He was going to have his family and everything would be perfect.
"At the end of this week." Rex laughed, as giddy as Anakin. "I can't wait Anakin." By the end of week, everything would be different.
Nothing would be the same...
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
#and then everything change#there was no birth#there was no family#everything changed#and everyone was gone#captain rex#Anakin Skywalker#padme amidala#order 66#Rex#they spent hours talking#getting excited#talking baby names and sleep routines#talking about their future#a future that never came#star wars#clone wars

Third Person POV
Jacob pulls into the Uley driveway with Bella still on the back of his bike. They went straight there after leaving Forks High School, knowing that Hayley has to change before hanging with the pack. He also wanted Bella to see his friends before they go off on their own.
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Bella asks, taking off the helmet. “I'm a vampire girl, remember?”
Before he can answer, Hayley pulls into her normal parking spot nearby. Almost immediately, Jared, Paul, Embry and Quil pile out of the house, shoving the last pieces of their chicken wings down their throats. The Beta rolls her eyes as she gets out of her truck.
“You guys couldn’t wait for me?” She walks toward them.
“Of course not! We’re growing wolves!” Paul smirks at her, taking another bite of his wing.
“What am I, chopped liver?” She shakes her head, stopping beside her boyfriend. “Where’s Kim?”
“She couldn’t skip. She had a project to present today.” Jared says, shrugging, despite missing her.
Bella and Jake get off his bike and take a couple steps toward them.
“Well, look who’s back.” Embry says, wrapping his arm around his imprint, looking at the leech-lover.
“What up, Bella?” Quil says, grinning.
“Quil, you too?” She asks, shocked.
“Yep. Finally made the pack.” He smiles, glancing at Embry and Hayley. “I’m glad you’re here, Bella. Maybe we can get a break from Jake’s obsessive inner monologue.”
“I wish Bella would call.” Paul speaks up, mimicking Jacob.
“I wish Bella wouldn’t call.” Jared chimes in.
“Maybe I should call Bella.” Embry smirks.
“Maybe I should call Bella and hang up.” Quil adds.
“Alright, you can shut up now.” Jake says, rubbing the back of his head.
Bella smiles as the pack laughs, a few of the guys pushing each other while Embry steps back with Hayley. Sam and Emily exit the house, grin on her face as she sees the pale face girl in front of her.
“Bella!” She says, moving to hug her. “I was wondering when we’d see your face around here again.”
The younger girl hugs back, smiling softly, whispering a soft, ‘same here’. When they pull away, Emily steps back next to her fiancée who wraps an arm around her, giving Bella a pleasant nod hello.
“Sam, we good?” Jacob speaks up, looking toward his Alpha.
“We’re good. She won’t be getting through our line anytime soon.” He answers.
There's a small awkward silence which Hayley decides to break.
“Alright, I’m gonna change and meet you boys on the beach.” She says, turning to her boyfriend.
The rest of the pack, minus Sam, Emily, Hayley, Embry and Jacob rush into the trees, laughing and ad-libbing their own macho challenges, excited for a day on the beach. Bella watches as Hayley and Embry whisper to one another, looking deep into each other’s eyes. Their connection is deeply intimate. Bella bites her lip and looks away as soon as their lips touch, allowing them to have their moment.
Her eyes land on Sam and Emily, who are doing almost the same thing. Between these two couples, she can tell they’re madly in love. Deep down she knows her relationship with Edward is nowhere near as passionate as these two couples right in front of her. For now, she’ll hope that it will one day.
Sam and Embry rush into the trees while Hayley and Emily walk inside the house, leaving Jacob and Bella alone.
“Come on. We can go back to my house.”
They pair silently go back to his house, Bella not wanting to bring up what she wants to talk about until she knows she’s far away from the pack.
“So, uh, is Quil the only new pack member?” She asks, glancing at her best friend.
“No. Seth Clearwater, Harry’s son, also phased. He’s only fifteen. One of the youngest we’ve had. Sam keeps him home studying, but he’s chomping at the bit.” He answers, pushing his bike toward his garage. “I’m just glad it wasn’t Leah.”
“Come on, don’t be such a guy.” Bella rolls her eyes.
“No, it’s not a chick thing.” He shakes his head. “Hayley is in the pack, you know. It’s more of a triangle thing. We would have to live with a Leah, Sam, Emily pain-fest. Wolf telepathy, remember?”
“So, Sam dumps Leah for Emily?” She raises an eyebrow as she stops before the door.
“It wasn’t like that.” He says, looking toward her. “Sam hates himself for hurting Leah. But, Emily was The One.”
“Yeah, I guess it sort of chooses you sometimes.” She says, thinking of her boyfriend.
“It’s more than some crush, Bella.” He sighs. “Sam imprinted on Emily. Like how Jared imprinted on Kim and Hayley and Embry imprinted on each other.”
“Do I even want to know what that is?” Bella asks, watching him as he begins to walk into the garage.
She follows behind him, leaning against another bike as he pushes the kick-stand down, thinking of how to explain this to her.
“Imprinting on someone is like…” He pauses, remembering Sam, Jared and Embry’s words. “Like when you see her, everything changes. All of a sudden, it’s not gravity holding you to the planet.”
About ten minutes away on the beach, Hayley runs onto the sand, rushing straight toward her boyfriend.
“It’s her. Nothing else matters.” Jacob continues, remembering moments his best friend and Beta have had.
Embry turns around and catches his imprint, picking her up slightly. She laughs, wrapping her arms around his neck as he swings her in a small circle.
“You would do anything…Be anything for her…” His voice softening slightly.
Hayley puts her feet down on the sand, keeping her arms around her boyfriend’s neck. He grins and leans his forehead against her own, looking deep into her eyes, a smile appearing on her as she looks into his.
“It sounds like you know the feeling.” Bella says, watching him. “Have you…imprinted on someone?”
“You’d know if I had.” He shakes his head slightly before looking at his bike. “I just have a direct line to Sam, Jared and Embry’s thoughts.”
Embry leans down and gently presses his lips to Hayley’s, allowing the always flowing sparks fly through them once again. They quickly break from the kiss when a soccer ball hits Hayley in the leg.
“Break it up, lovers.” Paul calls out. “Ley, you’re on my team! I ain’t losing this time!”
“Then I get Embry!” Quil yells out, wanting at least one of his best friends.
The couple laugh and shake their heads before looking at one another.
“I guess we’re split this time.” She says with a smirk.
“Oh, you’re going down!” He grins, smacking her butt softly before taking off down the beach toward his best friend.
She gasps and runs after him, giggling as she does. For the next two hours, the pack kicks the soccer ball around, trying to score a goal. Sam, Embry and Quil on one team while Jared, Paul and Hayley are on the other. Despite all of Embry and Sam’s sabotage on Hayley, the teams end up tied. Emily showed up half way through with food for them, causing a small break, but they’re right back at it before long.
“Ley!!” Paul calls her name, kicking the ball toward her.
She stops the ball with the inside of her left foot, before kicking it down the beach, alternating between each foot. Embry quickly runs up behind her and wraps her by the waist, picking her up causing her to squeal loudly. Emily laughs from the blanket she put down, far enough away she doesn’t get hurt by the ball.
“Quil! Get it!” Embry yells out, holding his girlfriend back.
Before his best friend can get a chance to get the ball, she kicks it as hard as she can from her boyfriend's arms, directly toward Jared who scores the winning goal.
“Yeah!” Paul cheers, jumping in the air, throwing his fists up.
“How?!” Quil falls to his knees in the sand.
“Is that even legal?” Sam asks, looking toward his fiancée. “Ref! What do you think?”
“In my expert opinion…” She grins, pausing for suspense. “It’s a goal!”
“Hell yeah!” Hayley throws up a fist as her boyfriend puts her back down.
“Not fair!” Embry shakes his head, smiling.
“It’s not fair you two kept picking on our best player!” Jared calls out, walking toward them after grabbing the ball.
“Oh, it’s totally fair!” Sam laughs.
“Ehhh…” Emily smirks slightly.
“HA!” Hayley laughs. “Emily for the win!”
“Em! You’re supposed to be on my side!” Sam calls out, running toward her.
She squeals and jumps up from the blanket, taking off straight toward the Beta of the pack.
“I got you, Em.” Hayley wraps her arms around Emily, both giggling.
“Oh, no!” Their Alpha laughs. “What am I gonna do? My sister is hiding my woman…”
He grins at his pack members who know exactly what he’s thinking, without their wolf mind-link. Suddenly, all the males are running toward them causing them to squeal and run down the beach, laughing as they go.
After the fun and exciting week, Hayley knew something was going to happen. The other shoe finally dropped as some would say. After patrolling all night, she thought she was going to have a decent nap then have an amazing date with her boyfriend…but nothing ever goes her way. Not even an hour into her sleep, Jacob calls her, knowing her brother was on his own patrol.
Apparently some of Bella’s items have gone missing and Edward smelled an unknown vampire in her bedroom. Hayley sighs to herself before rushing to Forks, knowing where the Chief of Police lives. She walks up to the house, yawning softly. She knows she could have sent someone else to be with Jacob but her and Sam are the two that can make decisions.
Sam can overthrow her since he’s Alpha but 99.99% of the time, he follows her decision, knowing she knows what she’s doing and has everyone’s best interest when she decides something.
“What’s going on?” She asks, stopping next to her pack member, glancing at Bella and Edward who are standing a few feet away from them.
“Edward smelled some random vampire in Bella’s bedroom so we’re going to patrol outside her house from now on…” Jake starts but Hayley raises her hand to stop him.
“We’re going to what?” She bites her lip, stopping herself from yelling at him.
“We’re going to be patrolling here now.” He says, raising an eyebrow.
“Since when, Jacob?” She asks, watching him. “Did you talk to Sam about this?”
“No. But that’s why you’re here.”
“We already have to patrol extra due to the red-head, now we have to extend back to Forks…again?”
“Just Bella’s house. We have to protect her.” He says, crossing his arms.
Hayley shakes her head and thinks for a moment. If this vampire is in Forks, innocent people could get hurt. Not just his leech-lover.
“Hey.” Edward speaks up, looking at the Beta.
“Just shut up, leech. You’re lucky I’m even considering talking to my brother about this.” She glares at him before looking at her pack mate. “Alright. Let’s go investigate and I’ll call Sam.”
“Thank you, Hay.” Jacob says before leading her to the door. “Bella, can you show Hayley to your room?”
She nods, thankful for the Beta right now. Edward starts to follow them, but the female pack member shakes her head.
“You stay here. You can contaminate the stank with your own.” She says, turning around to walk into the house.
The trio walk inside, straight to the human’s bedroom. Both Hayley and Jake sniff around the room, finding a different scent than the Cullen’s near her desk and closet. The Beta sighs and pulls her phone out of her pocket, calling her brother. He should be off patrol and Quil should have taken his place.
“Hay? Is everything okay?” He answers. “Shouldn’t you be sleeping?”
“Yeah.” She sighs. “So, a leech has been in Bella’s bedroom.”
“She’s dating one. Of course…”
“No. Like, an unknown leech. It’s not the red-head and it’s not a Cullen. Jake wants us to start patrolling here to make sure that she’s safe.”
She can tell he rolled his eyes by the way he sighed in her ear.
“The only reason I’m considering it is because if it’s been in her room, it can be anywhere. He could have hurt the Chief.” She continues, not wanting him to immediately dismiss her.
After a moment, he finally speaks. “Alright. Starting tonight we’ll start patrolling two on the rez and two at Bella’s.”
“Thanks, Sam.”
“Don’t thank me, Hayley. You’re right. Chief’s a good guy and he’s innocent in this. Don’t want him hurt.” He sighs. “Come home and get to sleep. I’ll have Jake and Paul have tonight so you and Embry can have that date.”
“Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
She hangs up and looks at Jake, who nods, already knowing what his Alpha had said.
“I appreciate it, you guys.” Bella says, looking between the pack members.
The Beta shrugs. “Not like we haven’t done shit like this before.”
She immediately turns around and walks out of the room, wanting to leave the house. Edward, who has been staring at the house, rushes toward the front door when his girlfriend exits.
“Whoever it was, he left his stink behind.” Hayley says, looking at the mind-reader. “It’ll be hard to miss when we cross it again.”
“We’ll handle it from here.” Jake says, continuing from his Beta’s words.
“We don’t need you to handle anything. Or anyone.” Edward shakes his head.
Jacob steps forward so he’s chest to chest with the vampire, glaring at him.
“I could care less what you need.”
“Alright, we’re done here.” Edward snaps.
“No, you’re done here.” He says, as if he had the best comeback ever.
Bella moves between them, wanting to keep the peace.
“Stop, I’m tired of this. From now on I’m Switzerland, okay.” She pushes on their chests but since they’re both supernatural beings, neither move. “Stop. Hayley, help.”
“All I’m going to say is I could care less what the leech has to say. Or you for that matter, Bella.” She says, stepping forward when Bella moves to push them apart, this time they actually move due to her strength. “Jacob, you need to back down. Now. The only reason I’m agreeing to this, with my brother too, is for the Chief. He’s got no idea what’s going on. He can’t help who his daughter quote un-quote ‘falls in love with’. You made your bed, Bella. You lie in it. You too, Jake.” She glances between them, her tone short. “But Chief Swan is innocent and I’ll be damned if y’all do anything to let him get hurt.”
“But, the pack…” Jake starts.
Hayley growls and holds her hand up. “Don’t give me that shit, Jacob Black. Don’t act like you actually care about the pack. You just want to keep your little leech loving girl here safe. And you don’t care who you hurt in the process. Otherwise you’d have never snuck off and all but told her about the stuff you knew you weren’t supposed to.”
Before Jake can say another word, she turns and glares up at the tall, lanky vampire. Her inner wolf wanting to get at him, but she’s keeping at bay, minus the venom in her voice.
“As for you,” She pokes his chest. “We’re Spirit Warriors. This is what we’re made for. To kill vampires like you, so we can handle it. If you would like to help, great! If not, stay the hell out of my way. I don’t like you. I don’t trust you. And you may have charmed Bella with your ways, but you ain’t going to get me too. You may be a ‘vegetarian’ but you’re still a cold blooded killer at heart, and when it comes down to it, you’ll only care about getting what you want. No matter who you hurt in the process. It’s your kind that got a damn good man killed. A respected, loved, sweet man. And I won't let you hurt one of his best friends too just so your ego can be stroked. You and your family are already on thin ice for getting Harry killed. And that ice cracked when you almost stepped onto our land. And, so help me, if you don’t want to help, and you do get in my way, I will personally be the one to rip you limb from limb. Not my brother. Not Jacob. Not my imprint. Not one of the big burly guys. But me. And I’ll enjoy it too.”
Edward swallows the little bit of venom that built up in his throat, slightly terrified of the younger woman. Bella, nervous by the speech by the pack member, steps forward, wanting to ease the tension.
“So, are you willing to at least try to work together?” She glances between the men.
Neither men move. Despite both knowing exactly what Hayley was talking about, neither of them want to admit they’re wrong but Edward, wanting to be the bigger man, licks his lip and nods. Jacob blows air out of his nose and nods with him.
“Great. We’re almost on the same page.” Hayley rolls her eyes.
“Alright, so you need to coordinate.” Bella speaks up again, looking between the three of them now. “You know, schedules and stuff.”
The men look away from each other, not wanting to speak so the Beta throws her hands up.
“Goddamn it, you guys.” She snaps. “The pack will take nights. Sam already said Jacob and Paul will start tonight.”
“Will days work for your family?” Bella asks, looking at the vampire who just nods. “Good. See? How hard was that?”
Hayley rolls her eyes and turns around, walking back toward the forest, wanting to go home.
“Hay? Where are you going?” Jake raises an eyebrow.
“I had work last night and only slept an hour due to this bullshit so I’m going home.” She calls back, never stopping her steps.
After all the shifters got used to their new patrol schedules for both the res and Forks, Billy decided to host a bonfire. A La Push Pack Bonfire consists of a couple things. They go to the beach and the pack members grab tons of wood to burn while using the larger pieces of wood for seats. Emily and Hayley cook all day so there is a small buffet for everyone to have before Billy tells the legends to the new pack members.
In this case it would be Seth and Quil. The council members decided amongst themselves, with the help of Sam and Hayley, that Bella should be there for this bonfire as well. She has her own part in the legends now since she decided that after graduation she was going to be…changed in another area. The pack can’t do anything about it.
It’s not their choice to make, as long as it’s not in Forks or La Push, they have no say. All they can do is tell her how the shifters came to be. Hayley, having already heard the legends multiple times, still loves hearing them. It always feels like the very first time when she and Sam sat in the Black’s backyard with the council.
She smiles to herself as she mixes the potato salad. Despite being a shifter, she doesn’t hear her imprints footsteps as he enters the kitchen. He watches his girlfriend and Emily talk amongst themselves for a moment before Emily turns around to grab a plate. She jumps and puts her hand on her chest, but before she can speak, Embry puts his finger to his lips.
She raises an eyebrow but nods, confused on what the shifter is going to do. He slowly walks toward his girlfriend, hoping she doesn’t move. Hayley, concentrating hard on the potato salad, jumps when warm arms wrap around her waist.
“Embry!” She laughs, shaking her head. “You scared the shit out of me.”
“That was the plan.” He chuckles, holding her close.
Emily smiles and grabs a few of the already finished foods before taking them to the car, allowing them to have a moment. She knows they’ve rarely seen each other lately due to the amount of shifts they’ve had to cover. She’s lucky she got to see Sam during the day and most of the night. Hayley turns around in her boyfriend’s arms and grins.
“Well, hello, Mr. Call.” She wraps her arms around his neck.
“Hello, Miss Uley. Do you come here often?” He teases, bending slightly to place his hands on her ass.
In a quick movement, he lifts her up and places her on the counter, making sure not to bother the potato salad. Since she never had the ‘wolf growth spurt’, Embry is over a foot taller than her so that is the reason he’s always lifting her up. With her on the counter, she’s now a little taller than him but not by much.
“Hmmm, I come here every few days.” She jokes before moving her hand to his neck, pulling him in for a passionate kiss.
He happily returns it, pulling her closer, allowing her legs to wrap around his waist. The couple have only been together for a few months but it seems like they’ve been dating for years. Especially with all the supernatural things happening, with him phasing and all of the red-head drama going on.
They’re so madly in love but neither want to say it first, thinking it would be too early in their relationship. They pull away, gasping softly for air before Hayley leans down to put her forehead against his.
“Wow, Mr. Call. I better not tell my boyfriend about that.” She teases softly, biting her lip.
He playfully growls and pulls her in for another kiss but before it can get any more passionate, a small cat call is heard from the back door. They pull away and look over his shoulder toward the noise.
“Well, well, well…” Paul smirks, crossing his arms before leaning against the door. “Maybe I should call in Sam to see what his little sister is doing in the kitchen.”
“Oh, please! Like he’s never done this with his girl. Shouldn’t you be doing my laundry or something, Paul?”
Rolling her eyes as she speaks, Hayley grabs a wooden spoon out of the container on the counter next to her. She throws it as hard as she can, causing the shifter to laugh and run out of the house. Embry shakes his head and puts his forehead against her shoulder, mumbling to her.
“We can never have a few minutes to ourselves.”
“Nope.” She says, playing with his slightly growing hair.
He sighs through his nose, before standing straight. He presses a quick but passionate kiss to her lips before helping her down from the counter.
“I’ll see you later. I have a Lahote to beat up.”
She smiles as she watches him run from the house toward the beach, knowing that’s where their other pack member will be. Turning back around, she grabs the foil and covers the bowl she was previously working on.

My thoughts on the rest of Crystalized!!!
So... I'm obviously extremely late to the party 😅
I kinda fell out of the fandom and the show, which is a bit sad since I've been a long time fan since the Masters of Spinjitzu era, but I do wanna finish it. Especially since more stuff is coming this way as well between Dragon Rising and that new LEGO Dreamzzz! BACK TO THE LEGO RABBIT HOLE I GO! 😵💫😵💫
I watched the season until episode 12 so they way I left it was Lloyd being kidnapped (AGAIN), the guys are criminals, there's an evil organization made of the villains of Ninjago and Harumi is back. So, troubles
Now, I think I got a couple of spoilers, although I'm not 100% sure. I know everything is well at the end because of course it is, I know Garmadon comes back which I really wanna see, the Overlord is back because of course it's the flipping last season after all and I think Haruki gets... redemption? 🤨
I thought her dying the way her parents did because of her own actions was enough but eh, what do I know 😅😅 Not a fan of this but who knows, maybe it's gonna be good!
Don't think people care about these thoughts, but I like putting them down so eh 🙃
I'm back to Ninjago!! 😍
NOTES
I might be a little salty in these, there are things I like about this last season but others I think are annoying. I feel like it's inevitable given how long Ninjago went on and in general it's going good. Still, this is me half happy half complaining 🙃 Of course these are only my opinions
That being said THE WEEKEND WHIP REMIXES ARE THE BEST THING EVER AND THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION
Okay I'm pointing out a lot of little things but those are just from my pov. And perhaps people that started to watch from the new seasons of Ninjago will not see these issues I instead have, so I understand how it might be only me
I WILL SCREAM ABOUT STUFF I DON'T LIKE HERE NONETHELESS
Also I don't like Lloyd x Harumi, so there's gonna be salt about that. Sorry 😅
I've liked the episodes going for the finale better than the ones at the beginning so there's that!
A SINISTER SHADOW
THE FLIPPING SPIDER SONG AAAAHHH
I do know your story Harumi I've been watching Ninjago for more than 10 years nothing will surprise me over how- AH YOU SURVIVED WTF
Overlord I'm guessing?
YOU DID NOT CALL GARMADON A POOR CHAMPION YOU FOOL
Wait the Overlord can just... resurrect people? That sounds weird for the Lord of Darkness, but okay
Wait so she learned nothing? I thought the whole point of the end of Hunted was that she saw that even with the best intentions people get hurt, and despite her wanting the best she almost caused a family to go through what she did... GUESS NOT
AAAHHH CALLED IT hi Overlord
Ah, she knows he's a ticking bomb, at least she's not stupid and doesn't accept the deal
Never mind, dang it Harumi
I see what the vengestone was for, and where it came from of course. Shintaro is always a delight to see though
"Do you think I'm unprepared for the ninja?" Dude you were barely a challenge, I feel like they were too prepared for what they encountered 🤣
I like the "of course", like she didn't trust that king for a second 😂😂
Now the weapons are important again? I'm a bit confused but I guess it makes sense to use them before the end, although I feel like they lost a bit of the hype they had at the very beginning (they don't even shine all pretty anymore 😢😢)
WHOOPS LLOYD STILL GOT A CRUSH I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL
Wait Lloyd looked for her??? Whoa
GIRL YOU LEFT YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT HIM FOR NOT LOOKING HARD ENOUGH YOU'RE JUST BEING DIFFICULT
LLOYD YOU DESERVE NOTHING OF WHAT SHE DID TO YOU THIS IS NOT OKAY
Okay I don't like the ship but I feel like it will happen... whatever 🙄
This also bothers me, the newest seasons showed that somehow the moment the guys lose their powers they are done. THAT'S NOT IT. Give me struggles, give me some normal fighting! They are ninja aside from elemental masters!!
So I wouldn't say I'm salty about this, but Lloyd's been kidnapped a whole lot and it's kinda old at this point 😅 He's the Green Ninja yet somehow this is how it ends, but oh well, he does always escape
Kinda the meme anyway
Harumi, Lloyd might be gullible, but he's not disillusioned like you. This will bite you eventuallt and I can't wait for that
THE SPIDERS DESIGN
Ooookay, the spider is Harumi's symbol, is this about the actual plan of the Overlord?
NOT THE MECHA SPIDER I STILL GOT NIGHTMARES OF THAT THING GETTING OUT OF ZANE'S CHEST 😱😱
Stop destroying the bounty please 😭
YOU STOPPED THE MAILMAN NOOO I WANTED TO SEE NINJAGO'S RULER! 😢
Daaaaamn, Wu is piiiiiiissed
Imagine being this cocky threatening the guy that is straight up the son of the god that made Ninjago itself. Had it not been for the laws of this land, Wu would've slaughtered you
Also despite being against what the ninja are doing he still protects them, that's our sensei!
BEST GIRLS REUNITED
Ah
For a moment I thought engineer Jay had returned and was getting excited, but he's just into trains. Super cute still but... I miss my favourite engineer 😢
I'm guessing that will be helpful later
Lloyd is still so sweet with her, she really doesn't deserve any of it
Weak? Remind me Harumi, who lost control of a powerful warlord and died by the consequences of her own actions? I'll tell you, it is not the guy who DESERVES BETTER THAN YOU
YOU WERE LITERALLY THE VILLAIN AND YOU DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN POOR CHOICES HARUMI
STOP ACCUSING OTHERS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Ah, she does not want innocents to get hurt... could've fooled me 🙄
This is the oni part, I think Lloyd will go through that... which also confuses me. Like. Why always Lloyd? Can't it be Wu? Wu's oni side should be stronger...
Also after Mystake we know not all onis are bad so we went through it already... but I guess we forgot about her
NOT ME THOUGH 😭😭😭
... Harumi... please tell me you're not planning to kill the ninja again
You tried already. Several times. IT. DOES. NOT. STICK. You think you're hot [redacted] and can kill them just like that but you just can't. And you'll see how flipping idiotic you're being
AAHH HATE SPIDERS
Yep, that tram is useful, called it
NOT THE LEGO TEARS PLEASE I'M WEAK TO THAT but also we literally went through this at the end of Sons of Garmadon. In way larger scale and more dramatic scale. This bothers a bit me, it's basically a redo with spider thingies. It's not as thrilling
Of course they're not dead
Harumi your plan is so flawed and you're too arrogant to see it
ONI POWER ONI POWER ONI POWER
Again, we saw that oni can be good, so this feels a bit weak as an effort to turn Lloyd bad. You think this is the first time he fought against darkness?
Idk I feel a bit disappointed by some stuff, but the new season don't take Hunted into account so I guess that's fair
THE FALL OF THE MONASTERY
Of course, cause that thing just can't help but be destroyed at some point, luck as good as the bounty's 😅
But seriously, we saw Harumi trying to break Lloyd by killing her friends. Even when he thought they were gone he didn't give up. I just don't understand why doing it again just for the kicks, it feels lazy
Gotta say, buried underground is scary
Cole's been deeper indeed, any mention of the amazing Cole season is welcomed 😍
Okay but seeing both Nya and Pixal in samurai costumes is so good, look at them looking awesome 🤩🤩
EEEE WE GOT VISITORS
LOL Wuser is still pretty good
FIGHTING SCENES FIGHTING SCENES FIGHTING SCENES LOOK AT THEN GO
The latest seasons lost a bit in some stuff but they gain so much through the fighting sequences, I have to admit they are probably better than the earlier season. So fluid and good 🥰🥰
SKYLOR SKYLOR SKYLOR
COME ON WU SHOW US ONCE AND FOR ALL WHY YOU'RE THE MASTER
Please I lost faith in you lately please restore it aaaaand you're going down. Great. I'm not saying you had them but... dang it
SHMOL PIXAL BOTS
I REPEAT
SHMOL PIXAL BOTS
MINIPIX MINIPIX MINIPIX 💜💜💜
"You didn't think I build everything on my own." "Actually, until now... yes." This is so fair, Pixal is so great it made perfect sense. She became such a pillar for the team we can't do without 😍
Preventing never works on Ninjago, it never worked once
WHY THE STUPID SPIDER THINGIES
NO
NO ABSOLUTELY NOT YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT A GIRL THAT WAS A PRINCESS CAN MAKE BETTER ROBOTS THAN THE ROBOT DAUGHTER OF THE GUY THAT MADE ALL TECHNOLOGY IN NINJAGO
THIS IS MAKES NO SENSE AAAAAAAA-
Pff, okay, the fact the the Nunchaku of Lightning don't work without lighting made me laugh 😂
MiniPix to the rescue!
Okay how did a robot not identify a corpse? She got sensors and stuff!
... I feel like we're playing too much on the "oh no they're dead!" troupe over here. Like, idk, it feels silly after the majestic angst of Seabound to throw it in just because
YEP THERE SHE IS
Rescue mission for the ninja? NYA MISSION AS SAMURAI X AGAIN 😍
I got complains on this one but honestly it's not even that bad. A bit lazy in my opinion, but I enjoyed the fight and wanna see Samurai X back 🤩
DARKNESS WITHIN
I'm guessing this is about either Lloyd or the Overlord...
Okay you literally trapped him in three different ways so far, are you into this stuff or you like seeing him get free every time Harumi? YOU CONFUSE ME 😵💫
I miss the dragons guarding the weapons, they wouldn't have let that happen 😢
Sure sure, I believe you Harumi over how Lloyd's friends are dead, because somehow you're so convinced you killed all these people with a plan you worked on in, what, couple of years? You didn't make it with the plan of a revenge starting since you were little, how is this better?
I gotta stop complaining about Harumi's motivations, I love her as a villain but her comeback is so weird for me honestly
YOU DID THIS SPEECH BEFORE DANG IT THIS IS SOG ALL OVER AGAIN 😡😡
STOP USING THE SAME STUFF 😡
Ah, back at my boys thank goodness
This is giving me claustrophobia and I don't even have it 😅
JAY MOMENT
Okay that little oh no we're gonna die moment kinda got to me a little more (I love my boys so much), but again I feel like they're overusing it
NYA I LOVE YOU 🩶🩶🩶
Is the new old base the old samurai x cave? Should still be there right?
CALLED IT!!! CALLED IT!!!
I DO LOVE A GOOD THROW BACK!!!
PIXAAAAAANE!!! 💜🤍💜🤍
KAILOOOOOOR!!! ❤️🧡❤️🧡 Still don't know if they're gonna have a moment? Seems pretty scarse so far...
MINIPIX7 💕💕
Again with Harumi's delusions. Also she should really stop summoning stuff 😅
Okay, gotta admit, seeing the Overlord once again does give me the shivers 🤩 I wish we had more focus on that, but maybe from now on we'll see more stuff!
THE OVERLORD IS BACK AFTER MORE THAN TEN SEASONS BABY
THE COMING OF THE KING
Is the king the Overlord? I'm guessing?
I don't believe it either Lloyd, it's been so flipping long since this guy was here 😂
How is defeating him every time failing? Does the victory count only when he's completely dead? Idk, also they didn't really explain how he returned
NEED MORE FOCUS PEOPLE THIS IS THE OVERLORD DANG IT
I don't think I like this form though 😅 The Overlord is notorious for not having a face or a mouth, this kinda ruins my image of him. The Golden Master was superior, even the very first one was better, menacing
Cute purple outfits 😂😂 Lloyd really was raised by the sassy ninja
Harumi got no golden weapon? Bummer 😈
... why is this rock fortress reminding me of something? Is it Chima? I can't place it, but it is pretty cool
Why are people asking Lloyd to change side? Like, do they think he's gonna change his mind if asked enough times?
SECRET CHOICE NUMBER THREE
HOW WAS IT THAT EASY???? SERIOUSLY OVERLORD PUT SOME EFFORT
Eeehhhyyyy The Quiet One is back!
I really don't understand Harumi, I don't want to inderstand her. Is this her redemption arc? I just don't... see what changed, exactly
At least Skylor took her time to redemption and you could understand being connected to a father that was a criminal, Harumi is showing stuff in, like, three episodes. Which is one and a half old episode length
Still don't see the new Overlord as menacing. Mmmmm 😠
"Last time I checked, ninja can't fly!" You did not check very well, they flew until perfectly well until season 8 😂
... wait wasn't this place filled with vengestone? How is energy working now?
WHATEVER LLOYD IS FINALLY SHOWING WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF AND I'M HAPPY GO HONEY SHOW THEM THE FLIPPING GREEN NINJA!!! 💚💚💚
Why using the shuriken when you got an actual gun 😂😂😂
OMG WAS THAT A CALLBACK FROM THE FLIPPING PILOTS?? How you shouldn't make the golden weapons collide as they generate an explosion? If it's true then THANK YOU I LOVE IT FINALLY 🤩🤩
Eeeehhhhh Harumi knows 👌👌
Huh, I guess she really does want to reason with him... STILL WEIRD
He actually survived several times falling from way higher... but silly me remembering times the ninja were stronger 😓
What. That's it?
I WANTED A DRAGON OR A POWER DANG IT YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE AT LEAST TRY TO SOFTEN THE FALL WITH SOMETHING
That was so anticlimatic...
LOL this season is all about doing all the crime possible 😂😂
I do love that they kept this "if one of us is in danger we're ready for anything" mentality of them. Still a family.
Despite my complains I can still see why I fell in love with this show 💜
RETURN TO PRIMEVAL'S EYE
Memories of an amazing season, I think Songs of Garmadon shock the heck out of all of us. What a season 😍
I'm starting to realizing this is the last season 😭 I know there is that Dragon Rising thing, and yes everything with dragons in it makes it awesome, but it feels like another era is ending like whem March of the Oni came out
LOL I haven't watched Ninjago in a while yet I still get emotional, it really is one of the shows I'm closest to 💕💕
CRIME TIME
They're not working at Borg Tower anymore I'm dying 😂😂😂 That place gives major PTSD to whoever goes there
Eeeyyyy golden ninja suits!
LOL whenever they try to do actual ninja work they always get discovered, it's kind of beautiful in a way 😗
Awwww Wu finally decided to say freak the law I'm a martial art master!!!
It's like old times! One master, four ninja and a samurai!! Awesome!!!
Harumi being all flirty is kinda really weird, I really can't trust her YEP THERE IT IS DANG IT LLOYD FOCUS
Ah, the old quicksand gag
Pfff okay Lloyd being very done with her feels very very good 😂😂
Lloyd will loose cause he's gullible, but Harumi will loose because she's arrogant. I kinda wanna see her surprised to see the ninja since she seemed so convinced they were dead 😂
Lloyd should really drop that girl off
WHERE ARE THE NINJA PLEASE
YES YES YES!!! SUCK IT HARUMI!!! YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! YOU CAN'T KILL ANYONE IN A WAY THAT MATTERS!!! SEATHE WITH ANGER!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
(Ahem. Sorry)
These minions really are not the smartest of the bunch. And they were main villains in the last seasons 😅
Why are you smiling Harumi, half of your plan didn't even work 😂 It's sad really, she feels like a spoiled brat to me now... AND LLOYD STOP TRYING TO SAVE HER DANG IT SHE'S GONE
I DON'T WANT HER REDEMPTION I WANT HER BACK INTO THE DEPARTED REALM
... wait, if she is redeemed, will the Overlord bring her back into the Departed Realm since he brought her to life?
... BE REDEEMED HARUMI 😃
CRYSTASTROPHE
Okay, I got a visual, I'm guessing full on Ninjago filled with crystals, if not only the army of the Overlord
For what purpose though?
Aaahhh, Harumi is in troubleeeee 😏
Finally the actual Ovelord doing some stuff! Step back Harumi, let the boss handle this! I WANT THE OVERLORD TO SHOW HIS WORTH AS A VILLAIN!!!
The Overlord really likes having his own army, he always got one
THEY SAID THE THING! NINJA-GOOOO!!
OH GOSH CRYSTAL ZOMBIE WHY DO THIS ACTUALLY LOOK KINDA SCARY?!? 😱 Also the Overlord is back with the corruption thing, he really likes doing that as well! Such consistency! 👌
To his credit it almost worked the first time, why changing what works?
Heeey Gale Gossip!
... IS GARMADON LIVING WITH VINNIE?!?
Omg the shippers must had gone wild 😂💕
Yes! Please Nya ask about how the Overlord came back! I wanna know!
...
... Wu
Wu why
Why?!
WHY?!?
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD US A LONG TIME AGO 😭😭😭 ... it is such a meme in Ninjago so I'll say it, I'm kinda happy it's here 😂
SERIOUSLY WU WHAT IN THE WORLD STOP HIDING STUFF!!!
Yeeeee Antonia and Nelson!!
Andreasen Avenue? 😏 I see you Tommy, thank you for staying until now in Ninjago! Despite my complains this is a good season, and I'm hopeful for a huge finale! Thanks for your work! 😊😊😊
Whoa, Jay using the hammer? BLASPHEMY I SAY 😂😂
So let's pretend I don't know Garmadon lives here with Vinnie 😂
BACK TO GARMY AND SON BABY
Gotta be honest this really excites me, I think we all wanted them to have a reunion. I definitely want a Garmy redemption!
More than Harumi's coff coff
MOVING ON
CHRISTOFERN
... what?
Okay I got no idea, is it a name?
... a plant? What?
Vinny just vacuumed, omg is this seriously a marriage situation?
Heeeey! Garmy tale!
Dude you saved people before, you just don't remember about those times! You were the best dad despite being an evil guy! You were a sensei! 😭😭😭
Pfff Vinnie of NGTV News the wise guy, why not 😂
LOL double hands shake debacle
Garmadon trying to be good, this is not what I was expecting when I thought of Garmadon returning 😅 It's kind of fun, but did he ever remember his son or wife though? He's still just an oni?
Aaahhh the plant's name is Christofern! Is this a new child for him?
Ah. Right. Forgot Harumi was kind of Emperor Garmadon's daughter... PLEASE LET LLOYD HAVE SOME PEACE
Another reason why Harumi doesn't deserve redemption, SHE is the reason Garmadon came back and his bond with Lloyd was shuttered! 😭😭😭
SHE. DOESN'T. DESERVE. REDEMPTION.
NOO CHRISTOFERN!!! Such a short life 😅
HEEEEY GARMADON IS BACK EVERYONE LOOK AT HIM GO!!!
Ha, they fixed his oni side, you look a bit better this way than from March of the Oni I must say 😅
Ooohhh Lloyd going through the oni route? Again WHY NOT WU???
A LESSON IN ANGER
I don't want Lloyd to become a weird oni as well 😭😭 Can't he be a dragon instead? I think I saw there's gonna be a dragon form too, PLEASE THAT ONE IS BETTER!
NOPE DON'T LIKE THAT IMAGE
STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEART
Meanwhile more fighting happening that the ninja can't win... SCARED
Is this the new name? Sam X cave? Lol
We're going through the story of the creation of Ninjago again? This is kinda cool
WU YOU'RE ALSO PART ONI STOP WHY DON'T YOU DO IT INSTEAD OF DROPPING EVERYTHING ON YOUR NEPHEW AS USUAL DANG IT 😡😡😡
Sensei Garmadon kinda back?
LOL spinning is an important part? Somehow for this show it makes sense
So we are talking Dragon Form already! Why forgetting all he was taught if that might help him get to the dragon?
DRAGON BETTER THAN ONI 👌👌
Oh, Misako is still there? She's not being useless somewhere? Huh
Hey, mayor... forgot about him honestly
Heeeyyy the new ninja! The jerks! Getting their butts kicked, it's almost like they never fought actual evil before!
... that also felt very good 😂
Garmadon you're making me hate you and I don't want that 😭 You used to be such a patient and wonderful teacher dang it, now you only know hate and it kills me a bit honestly 😢😢😢
HEY PIXAL BEST GIRL SAVING THE DAY YET AGAIN!!!
Yeeee this will come back huh 😵
Still feels the oni form is a bad idea in general but eh... wait what about the dragon one? Did we forget?
WU YOU HAVE TO TELL US IF YOU THINK WE WILL LOSE AAAAAAAA-
BRAVE BUT FOOLISH
I DO NOT LIKE THIS PREMISES
Yeeee Kai said FIYAAAA 🔥
Ronin on our side again? I flipping love how he's costantly the bad guy then good guy then bad guy then whatever 😅
Heeeyyy the golden armor is back!
DANG IT GARMADON RIGHT IN THE FEELS 🥺 I see Christofern is a metaphor of some sort? Garmadon is learning how to take care of someone so one days it will... forgive him?
STILL HOPE FOR THE GARMADONS TO BE A FAMILY AGAIN YES!!!
Nya is basically saying that Lloyd is a very sturdy boy, I flipping love how much of a big sister she is to Lloyd 💕
Aww Nya misses the water 💧
Okay I said it already but I truly cannot take that weird new form of the Overlord seriously. It's just not doing it for me. Not bad, just not right
... wait is Christofern a metaphor for Harumi too? BETTER NOT BE
LLOYD STOP TRYING TO BRING HER ON OUR SIDE I DO NOT WANT HER
Zane
ZANE NO
STOP TRYING TO DIE DANG IT YOU WERE DOING SO WELL YOU SELF SACRIFICAL DUMB NINDROID 😱😱😱
Look at Wu go!!!
LOOK AT WU FALL!!!
Daaaaang them crystals all around... AND THE BOUNTY GOES DOWN AGAIN OF COURSE NO SURPRISE THERE
THIS WAS ACTUALLY COOL! 🤩
QUITTIN TIME
What? No, Ninja never quit! You never quit that's the first rule! Don't you dare!
Are those Nelson and Antonia?
Is this a Wu episode?
Looool last time was Kai, this time is Wu, too many people drowning lately. Probably Seabound's fault
Dang Tonia and Nels saving heroes left and right! Awesome!
NO NO NOT NYA 😱😱
NOW I'M WORRIED
COME ON SWEETIE THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO REAWAKEN HER WATER POWER RIGHT NOW! DO NOT GET CORRUPTED AGAIN SWEETIE! NOT LIKE AT THE END OF SEASON 2! 😱😱😱😱😱
HOW DARE YOU THINK THESE TWO ARE NOT A GOOD COMBINATION!!!! 😡😡😡
YES GIRL!! YOU STILL GOT IT!!
Slowly
JAYA GOT IT EVERYONE! THE SHIP LIVES STILL AND WILL KEEP DOING IT! 🩶💙🩶💙🩶💙🩶💙
These delivery boys are too good
"I'm not about to lead a group of children against the embodiment of darkness!" "That never stopped you before!" OMG HE ACTUALLY SAID IT OUT LOUD BUUURN
Wow, Wu quitting, that's actually sad
YES PLEASE CALL BACK BENTHOMAAR I LOVE THAT BEST SHARK BOY
Wow, Wu isn't quitting... that lasted, like, a full couple of minutes 🤣
HONORARY NINJA!!!!!!!!!
THIS WAS SO NICE!!!
THE RETURN OF THE ICE EMPEROR
Oh... OH
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ZANE WAS OKAY WELL GUESS NOT
WHAT HAPPENED?!? 😱😱😱
LOYD DON'T DIE TOO aww Garmy is trying to help him AAHHH LLOYD IS STILL VERY MUCH HURT Garmy was right they weren't ready LLOYD IS ALSO RIGHT AT BEING MAD AT THIS MAN
You want a list of what you did Garmadon? It's... actually quite long. Like really long 😅
Not the cop again! Are you flipping serious right now? The commitment is wow but the needs to understand the situation...
CRYSTAL SERPENTINES!!!
Ah. Misako. Hi I guess 😅
A prophecy again? These prophecies are so flipping weird I swear
PIX BEST GIRL 💜
Ah, Zane... fell apart. The head is the only ice emperor part. I genuinely thought this was going to be more epic
You non frozen fool 🤣🤣
Awwww I melt every time Pix and Zane say I love you to each other 💜🤍💜🤍
RONIN WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SWITCHING SIDES ISTG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR SOME REASON YOU NEUTRAL LOVABLE JERK 🥰
Fugidove seriously went "insert inspirational speech here"
Awww Fugidove is a mama's boy
CYRUS HI!!! 🤩🤩
Dang it Cyrus you introverted nerd your old abuser just came back and you didn't even notice... PTSD RISING
SAVE HAVEN
This sounds weirdly comforting
KAI BABY DON'T DIE ON ME EVEN IF THE SHOW FORGOT ABOUT YOU I DIDN'T YOU'RE STILL MY FAVE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
LOL I bet these scenes made the lava shippers very happy 🖤❤️🖤❤️
SKYLOR BEST GIRL!!!
"Hiya Hot Shot." DUDE THE WINK. KAI IS SUCH A LUCKY MAN
STILL LOVE KAILOR ❤️🧡❤️🧡
Pythor really likes to be the henchman of the obligatory villain huh
Kai with a plan, huh, dangerous...
Aww I remember Jake! He helped Kai with his confidence before! I like the little one, Kai fan, relatable 👊
Serpentine library! Cool! I miss Skales, I haven't seen him in forever!
Oh, we're talking fears huh. Back to season 11 we saw Nya's fear of being normal (she lost her water powers), Zane's fear to be only a machine (the cold ice emperor) and Lloyd being like Garmadon. Which is understandable especially in light of remembering a father that wasn't completely taken by the dark side
Knew Garmy was gonna bring up Christofern after being questioned if he cared for someone, but since it seems to be a metaphor for Lloyd... I wonder... 🥺
HUGS! HUGS FOR EVERYONE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY! 💜💜💜
This was actually kinda beautiful, maybe my favourite one so far
COMPATIBLE
OH YOU JUST KNOW THERE IS SOME DEEP PIXANE COMING UP!!!
YEP YEP YEP 💜🤍💜🤍
I feel like the titles aren't very focused on the specific episodes, more like random moments that do happen in between. I don't hate the thing, but it does make me imagine the episode going a certain way when it is not. Eh
KAI AND SKYLOR MAKING NOODLES TOGETHER LOOK AT THEM ❤️🧡❤️🧡
Okay, she did indeed grow between noodles... but she also owned the noodle plane. Feels like they could've straight up told that, but I'm probably being too critical
KAI YOU IDIOT HOW IS THAT A GOOD CONFESSION??🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It's a bit weird to me, Kai flirts with people but he was also super awkward with Skylor, which I'm not seeing. He would still make a fool of himself, OBVIOUSLY, but without trying to be smooth 😂
LOL Skylor is totally right at being mad, although it also feels like this being us fans that didn't see her in ages
But yes Kai did go through some stuff... ouch flame, you think you're smooth but you're the hugest mess to ever exist on Ninjago aren't you?
I like this, they should definitely have a talk when things get a bit less frantic, she wants him to call her and have time to spend together and Kai definitely needs some time without stress and to dedicate some time to this amazing girl!
Felt pretty real! Thumbs up!
COME ON NYA GO FOR IT!!!! 🩶🩶🩶
YES BRING PRINCESS VANIA OVER HERE BEST GIRLS REUNION EVERYONE!! 💛
Vinnie the wise guy saving the day!
RACER SEVEN IS BACK!!
I mean
BLAZEY H. SPEED IS BACK!!
I mean
BLAZEY HYPER SPEED IS BACK!!
Definitely best girls reunion. Included MechaDove (honorary member)
DANG IT ZANE STOP ALMOST DYING EVERY TIME! Wait no a coma WAIT A COMA NO ZANEEEEE 😱😱😱
Pixal don't make me cry 😢
SHE MENTIONED REBOOTED NOW I'M DEFINITELY CRYING 😭😭
WTF THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL
And Zane Julien escapes death once again!
(Again overusing the death thing but this one was pretty enough, I approve)
BEAUTIFUL LOOK AT ALL THE SHIPS!!!
IT'S ACTUALLY GETTING BETTER TOWARDS THE END I HAVE HOPE FOR A GREAT FINALE EVERYONE! 😊
DISTRESS CALLS
Getting to Benthomaar?
I'm with Lloyd honestly, you can't face something like this without allies
... I feel like we're just throwing Mystake's memory out of the window and pretend we didn't meet at least one oni capable to care at least a bit... I REMEMBER HER OKAY I DO SHE WAS COOL 😭😭😭
LOL it's only fair Kai and Skylor don't get together right away, looking and Pixane and Jaya that took years to get where they are it would be unfair 🤷🏻♀️
I think Kelly's voice got much softer than before, it's so soothing 🥰
GO BLAZEY GO!!!
YES GARMY GETS AT LEAST A SINGLE EXTREMELY PRECIOUS COMPLASSION POINT AND LLOYD APPROVES!
I BELIEVE IN YOU GARMADON!
Flipping love Blazey
Aww Lloyd and Garmy talking a bit, this is the most progress I've seen since MotO
AWW LOOK AT KAI TEACHING! ❤️
So the allies will all come despite what it looks like, okay? Okay 😂
LLOYD AND GARMADON ARE FINALLY GETTING SOMEWHERE OH PLEASE END THE SEASON ON A GOOD NOTE
I'm guessing they're trying to make it like the bond they have in the Lego Ninjago Movie, which isn't bad, but I miss how absurdly sweet it was their bond before. AAAAHHHH I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! 🥺🥺
AN ISSUE OF TRUST
Whoops, now what?
Destroyed Ninjago... again... seriously it's not the worst I've seen so far
Awwww look at Pixal and Kai hugging! Their bond is so underrated, I've loved it since the chasing scene in Rebooted! Too bad that's all we're getting, but this is nice 💜❤️💜❤️
HUGS HUGS I LOVE HOW MUCH AFFECTION THERE IS WITH THEM
It's not really that weird that Ronin is on our side, sometimes he just feels like joining the heroes, for the thrill 😎
YOU
YOU DID NOT
YOU DID NOT JUST TELL ME THAT THE FLIPPING WEEKENDING WHIP IS THE KEY TO ACHIEVE THE FLIPPING DRAGON FORM ALRIGHT THAT DOES IT I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's so stupid I love it 😂😂😂
Of course it's not that easy, but I will cherish this moment forever lol
Okay we got three episodes, no way we got the Harumi redemption, right? It would make no sense with this little time
...
YOU
YOU FOLD IT
YOU FLIPPING FOLD IT
THE FOLD
I HATE THIS SHOW I LOVE THIS SHOW I HATE THIS SHOW I LOVE THIS SHOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aww everyone wanted to come with Lloyd love this family love this family
AWW PIXAL AND LLOYD'S BOND IS ALSO SO OVERRATED I MEAN LOOK AT THEM BEING CLOSE!!! They were a delight at the beginning of SoG, that hug was everything 💚💜💚💜
Garmy you can't expect then to trust you like it's nothing...
Interesting seeing Harumi's old team of mercenaries against her
JAY MOMENT JAY MOMENT
"Thanks for nothing, Jay." That honestly applies to so much of Ninjago, I love you so much Jay 😂😂
Okay I changed my mind, Garmadon's oni mouth is still weird 😅
Better? Yes. Weird still? Absolutely.
ALMOST AT THE END GETTING HYPE!!!
DRAGON FORM
SECOND TO LAST EPISODE AND WE GOT THE DRAGON FORM EVERYONE!!!
I got hopes, Prime Empire and Seabound ended with bangs even with only two episodes left 👊👊
Finally Overlord do some stuff!
Seriously Lloyd? Still trying to turn her? If she really turns now I'll be upset honestly
IT'S A GARMADONS FIGHT EVERYONE!!
Soooo... allies when?
YES YES YES I KNEW PEOPLE WERE GONNA COME SOON!!!
BENTHOMAAR BEST BOY IS HERE!
SKALES IS BAAAAAAAAACK!!!
PEOPLE FROM PRIME EMPIRE!!!
MAYA AND RAY!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOK AT THEM GO DRAGON LIKE NINJAAAAA
THESE LOOK SO COOL!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Eeehhh Dareth billboard! He did not appear in the fight... poor brown ninja
SHURIKEN OF ICE ARE BACK!
Lloyd called him father 😢😢😢
Wait what. WAIT WHAT. THE FLIPPING OVERLORD WAS BEHIND ALL THAT STUFF?! ALL THOSE LITTLE PLOTS?!? YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT EXPLAIN IT PLEASE!
This feels like a bit of escape for Harumi's redemption arc
Yep, there it is
She is now, on the good side
Hurraaaaay...
*huge sigh*
EXCUSE YOU YOU DID NOT JUST CALL THE WATER GODDESS A GIRL IN A COSTUME 😡😡😡😡
OMG ED EDNA AND LOU ARE THERE AS WELL AMAZING!!!
YES THE DUNGEON TRIO!!!
LOOK AT ALL THE GOLDEN WEAPONS BACK I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL AT SEEING THEM ALL BACK AGAIN LIKE THIS!!!
This is a tribute to the new era of Ninjago, so it makes sense they focus on all the people that came through it
It's really nice
COLE VANIA HUG (I don't know if I ship them but best friend 🖤💛🖤💛
KAILOR AND PIXANE HUG!!!! 💜🤍💜🤍❤️🧡❤️🧡
So... the side fight is won? Weird that it's over before the main one
Corrupting the powers? We're getting some angst coming up soon? We'll see how it goes because IT'S THE END!!!
ROOTH
LET'S GO FINALE LET'S GO!! I WASN'T CONVINCED AT THE VERY BEGINNING BUT NOW I'M OPTIMISTIC AND I WANNA BE WOWED CRYSTALIZED!!! 💪💪💪
Aww Garmadon really is trying his best to protect his son
OH NOT AGAIN DANG IT GARMY
He can't be dead like that, right?
OOOOOHHHHHH THERE'S THE ONI LLOYD FORM AND IT IS GOLDEN TOO!! LET HIM HAVE IT HONEY!!
Oh honey is still scared 🥺🥺
So we're destroying the golden weapons? Shame on you, after Kai put them together so nicely!
Idk this feels a bit easy, the Golden Weapons were supposed to be destroyed in a specific volcano to make the super weapon. And since when they explode when together? They make a boom, never exploded from what I remember
But I'm not 100% sure on this one honestly, so I'll just say that I'll miss these weapons... since we're losing them... AGAIN
CALM DOWN ME I'M BEING TOO CRITICAL AGAIN
ZANE MAKING ME CRY AGAIN 🤍
NOT FRIENDS BUT BROTHERS too bad they didn't say that but it was really nice of them to do this 😭😭😭
NINJA CRYSTAL ZOMBIES
THE MULTI DRAGON IS BACK?!?!?? Wait no is it a different dragon? This makes me a bit confused but DRAGOOOON!!! 😍😍😍
IT'S END OF SEASON 2 ALL OVER AGAIN!
So is Lloyd not getting a dragon form?
... is that it?
It felt... a bit easy
YEP GARMADON IS ALIVE KNEW IT seriously, again, too many almost dead situation here I don't believe it anymore
And the oni form was not the right way. And Garmy is being bad again
Is this really how their bond is gonna end?
Anyway VICTORYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
HUUUUUUUUG 💜💜💜
GLARES TO HARUMI ALL THE GLARES SHE DESERVES ALL THE FLIPPING GLARES IN THE WORLD
STOP DEFENDING HER DANG IT I GUESS THIS IS HOW IT ENDS I HATE IT
WAIT THEY LOST THEIR POWERS?!?!?
The dragon is... their powers? And no mention to their beloved multi dragon? Not even a little bit? Like, they made it look exactly like it, it's a bit sad
Oh, they'll return later? Again?... okay?
Yeeeep Ninjago always need to be rebuild at the very end 😂
I see Garmadon has a long way to go still, but it looks like he really wants to learn how to be better so there's that
DARETH YES HI!!! 🤎🤎🤎
I love you brown ninja!
Song time? Huh, song time!
Kai still being an idiot but Skylor likes him for how he is, I'm sure they can figure it out eventually 🧡❤️🧡❤️
Or Kai and Cole have a chance still lol
Was that a policeman? HARUMI IN PRISON OH YES PLEACE I'M BEGGING YOU LET HER FACE SOME CONSEQUENCES SHE CAN'T FEEL ENTITLED FOR WHAT SHE DID AND FORGIVEN ONLY BECAUSE SHE HATED THE WRONG GUY AAAAAAA-
Yeah. Their bond will be build slowly, I believe Garmadon and Lloyd will be fine
This ending feels... way more emotional than it should be 😂 The ending was okay, it's good, but I feel like there was some stuff left behind just because
The song is beautiful though 😊
Idk, I had fun, but I also had problems with this season. Also... are the ninja not gonna talk about the crimes they committed anymore? All good? Or how Harumi ruined an entire family and apparently it was the wrong thing to do and did not apologize
I don't think I'll ever be okay with this redemption arc of her, but that's okay too. Still a villain for me 😈
I guess there's that though, the end of the second era of Ninjago 😊
Still feels Masters of Spinjitzu was superior, but there is greatness in this one as well and there are moments I truly loved
Wow, what a rush! I'm glad I got back to it! I think this is it for a while, although I might look into Dragon Rising eventually! For now, thank you Ninjago, for being such a precious show to me 💕💕💕💕

Everything changed, and yet nothing was different which, at first left me feeling like I was missing what was missing, but nothing was missing at all. I was there, and you were there, and while it was a different sort of love, the love was there too, and I realized, in that moment, that love means so much more when it is on purpose.

How humbling it was to be a part of something so intimate...
A time when heaven and earth mourned together.
When the angels and sons of men wept hand-in-hand.
When the world stood still,
and the earth cried in birthing pains.
How beautiful was that tipping point...
A time when heaven and earth rejoiced together .
When the ground shook and mountains moved.
When the kingdom was overthrown,
and the giants retreated in defeat.

Planet's Fucked: What Can You Do To Help? (Long Post)
Since nobody is talking about the existential threat to the climate and the environment a second Trump term/Republican government control will cause, which to me supersedes literally every other issue, I wanted to just say my two cents, and some things you can do to help. I am a conservation biologist, whose field was hit substantially by the first Trump presidency. I study wild bees, birds, and plants.
In case anyone forgot what he did last time, he gagged scientists' ability to talk about climate change, he tried zeroing budgets for agencies like the NOAA, he attempted to gut protections in the Endangered Species Act (mainly by redefining 'take' in a way that would allow corporations to destroy habitat of imperiled species with no ramifications), he tried to do the same for the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (the law that offers official protection for native non-game birds), he sought to expand oil and coal extraction from federal protected lands, he shrunk the size of multiple national preserves, HE PULLED US OUT OF THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT, and more.
We are at a crucial tipping point in being able to slow the pace of climate change, where we decide what emissions scenario we will operate at, with existential consequences for both the environment and people. We are also in the middle of the Sixth Mass Extinction, with the rate of species extinctions far surpassing background rates due completely to human actions. What we do now will determine the fate of the environment for hundreds or thousands of years - from our ability to grow key food crops (goodbye corn belt! I hated you anyway but), to the pressure on coastal communities that will face the brunt of sea level rise and intensifying extreme weather events, to desertification, ocean acidification, wildfires, melting permafrost (yay, outbreaks of deadly frozen viruses!), and a breaking down of ecosystems and ecosystem services due to continued habitat loss and species declines, especially insect declines. The fact that the environment is clearly a low priority issue despite the very real existential threat to so many people, is beyond my ability to understand. I do partly blame the public education system for offering no mandatory environmental science curriculum or any at all in most places. What it means is that it will take the support of everyone who does care to make any amount of difference in this steeply uphill battle.
There are not enough environmental scientists to solve these issues, not if public support is not on our side and the majority of the general public is either uninformed or actively hostile towards climate science (or any conservation science).
So what can you, my fellow Americans, do to help mitigate and minimize the inevitable damage that lay ahead?
I'm not going to tell you to recycle more or take shorter showers. I'll be honest, that stuff is a drop in the bucket. What does matter on the individual level is restoring and protecting habitat, reducing threats to at-risk species, reducing pesticide use, improving agricultural practices, and pushing for policy changes. Restoring CONNECTIVITY to our landscape - corridors of contiguous habitat - will make all the difference for wildlife to be able to survive a changing climate and continued human population expansion.
**Caveat that I work in the northeast with pollinators and birds so I cannot provide specific organizations for some topics, including climate change focused NGOs. Scientists on tumblr who specialize in other fields, please add your own recommended resources. **
We need two things: FUNDING and MANPOWER.
You may surprised to find that an insane amount of conservation work is carried out by volunteers. We don't ever have the funds to pay most of the people who want to help. If you really really care, consider going into a conservation-related field as a career. It's rewarding, passionate work.
At the national level, please support:
The Nature Conservancy
Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation
Cornell Lab of Ornithology (including eBird)
National Audubon Society
Federal Duck Stamps (you don't need to be a hunter to buy one!)
These first four work to acquire and restore critical habitat, change environmental policy, and educate the public. There is almost certainly a Nature Conservancy-owned property within driving distance of you. Xerces plays a very large role in pollinator conservation, including sustainable agriculture, native bee monitoring programs, and the Bee City/Bee Campus USA programs. The Lab of O is one of the world's leaders in bird research and conservation. Audubon focuses on bird conservation. You can get annual memberships to these organizations and receive cool swag and/or a subscription to their publications which are well worth it. You can also volunteer your time; we need thousands of volunteers to do everything from conducting wildlife surveys, invasive species removal, providing outreach programming, managing habitat/clearing trails, planting trees, you name it. Federal Duck Stamps are the major revenue for wetland conservation; hunters need to buy them to hunt waterfowl but anyone can get them to collect!
THERE ARE DEFINITELY MORE, but these are a start.
Additionally, any federal or local organizations that seek to provide support and relief to those affected by hurricanes, sea level rise, any form of coastal climate change...
At the regional level:
These are a list of topics that affect major regions of the United States. Since I do not work in most of these areas I don't feel confident recommending specific organizations, but please seek resources relating to these as they are likely major conservation issues near you.
PRAIRIE CONSERVATION & PRAIRIE POTHOLE WETLANDS
DRYING OF THE COLORADO RIVER (good overview video linked)
PROTECTION OF ESTUARIES AND SALTMARSH, ESPECIALLY IN THE DELAWARE BAY AND LONG ISLAND (and mangroves further south, everglades etc; this includes restoring LIVING SHORELINES instead of concrete storm walls; also check out the likely-soon extinction of saltmarsh sparrows)
UNDAMMING MAJOR RIVERS (not just the Colorado; restoring salmon runs, restoring historic floodplains)
NATIVE POLLINATOR DECLINES (NOT honeybees. for fuck's sake. honeybees are non-native domesticated animals. don't you DARE get honeybee hives to 'save the bees')
WILDLIFE ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER (support the Mission Butterfly Center!)
INVASIVE PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES (this is everywhere but the specifics will differ regionally, dear lord please help Hawaii)
LOSS OF WETLANDS NATIONWIDE (some states have lost over 90% of their wetlands, I'm looking at you California, Ohio, Illinois)
INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE, esp in the CORN BELT and CALIFORNIA - this is an issue much bigger than each of us, but we can work incrementally to promote sustainable practices and create habitat in farmland-dominated areas. Support small, local farms, especially those that use soil regenerative practices, no-till agriculture, no pesticides/Integrated Pest Management/no neonicotinoids/at least non-persistent pesticides. We need more farmers enrolling in NRCS programs to put farmland in temporary or permanent wetland easements, or to rent the land for a 30-year solar farm cycle. We've lost over 99% of our prairies to corn and soybeans. Let's not make it 100%.
INDIGENOUS LAND-BACK EFFORTS/INDIGENOUS LAND MANAGEMENT/TEK (adding this because there have been increasing efforts not just for reparations but to also allow indigenous communities to steward and manage lands either fully independently or alongside western science, and it would have great benefits for both people and the land; I know others on here could speak much more on this. Please platform indigenous voices)
HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS (get your neighbors to stop dumping fertilizers on their lawn next to lakes, reduce agricultural runoff)
OCEAN PLASTIC (it's not straws, it's mostly commercial fishing line/trawling equipment and microplastics)
A lot of these are interconnected. And of course not a complete list.
At the state and local level:
You probably have the most power to make change at the local level!
Support or volunteer at your local nature centers, local/state land conservancy non-profits (find out who owns&manages the preserves you like to hike at!), state fish & game dept/non-game program, local Audubon chapters (they do a LOT). Participate in a Christmas Bird Count!
Join local garden clubs, which install and maintain town plantings - encourage them to use NATIVE plants. Join a community garden!
Get your college campus or city/town certified in the Bee Campus USA/Bee City USA programs from the Xerces Society
Check out your state's official plant nursery, forest society, natural heritage program, anything that you could become a member of, get plants from, or volunteer at.
Volunteer to be part of your town's conservation commission, which makes decisions about land management and funding
Attend classes or volunteer with your land grant university's cooperative extension (including master gardener programs)
Literally any volunteer effort aimed at improving the local environment, whether that's picking up litter, pulling invasive plants, installing a local garden, planting trees in a city park, ANYTHING. make a positive change in your own sphere. learn the local issues affecting your nearby ecosystems. I guarantee some lake or river nearby is polluted
MAKE HABITAT IN YOUR COMMUNITY. Biggest thing you can do. Use plants native to your area in your yard or garden. Ditch your lawn. Don't use pesticides (including mosquito spraying, tick spraying, Roundup, etc). Don't use fertilizers that will run off into drinking water. Leave the leaves in your yard. Get your school/college to plant native gardens. Plant native trees (most trees planted in yards are not native). Remove invasive plants in your yard.
On this last point, HERE ARE EASY ONLINE RESOURCES TO FIND NATIVE PLANTS and LEARN ABOUT NATIVE GARDENING:
Xerces Society Pollinator Conservation Resource Center
Pollinator Pathway
Audubon Native Plant Finder
Homegrown National Park (and Doug Tallamy's other books)
National Wildlife Federation Native Plant Finder (clunky but somewhat helpful)
Heather Holm (for prairie/midwest/northeast)
MonarchGard w/ Benjamin Vogt (for prairie/midwest)
Native Plant Trust (northeast & mid-atlantic)
Grow Native Massachusetts (northeast)
Habitat Gardening in Central New York (northeast)
There are many more - I'm not familiar with resources for western states. Print books are your biggest friend. Happy to provide a list of those.
Lastly, you can help scientists monitor species using citizen science. Contribute to iNaturalist, eBird, Bumblebee Watch, or any number of more geographically or taxonomically targeted programs (for instance, our state has a butterfly census carried out by citizen volunteers).
In short? Get curious, get educated, get involved. Notice your local nature, find out how it's threatened, and find out who's working to protect it that you can help with. The health of the planet, including our resilience to climate change, is determined by small local efforts to maintain and restore habitat. That is how we survive this. When government funding won't come, when we're beat back at every turn trying to get policy changed, it comes down to each individual person creating a safe refuge for nature.
Thanks for reading this far. Please feel free to add your own credible resources and organizations.

I'm at the crux of this moment in my longfic The List right now!
the transition from people needing each other to wanting each other is literally one of my greatest weaknesses that shit makes me want to walk into the sea and sit on the ocean floor for a thousand years

People don’t understand the concept of liking two characters’ relationship in multiple contexts. They can be lovers in one setting and just friends in another, their dynamic doesn’t have to be consistent in every piece of art I make.
#it pisses me off when I make stuff for polyfam au or mitsuki/inko and people bring up bkdk#use your critical thinking skills their parents being in a relationship changes their dynamic#not everything is a romance between them.#idk it weirds me out when people make it weird

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking
#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire#'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem#the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted#also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out#so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my#notifs page cleanish lol#also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3#secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because#of investors bankrolling everything#and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest#however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point#once again. so many murder dollars#so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction#anyways . love yall 💕#origibberish#bigger gibbers
