My brother, mentioning his favorite characters: “..:Aspheera…Scales.. Pythor…”

My nephew: “Oh yeah he’s Brazilian. A Brazilian snake”

Me and my brother, severely confused: “B- Brazilian??”

My nephew: “Yeah. He speaks with a Brazilian accent in [the] English [dub]”

Me: “Do— Do you mean BRITISH???”

My nephew: “Oh, yeah, British”

He's Playing His Scales

forever unfinshed snakes...

probally...

maybe..?

[starlingstalk]

It would’ve been so fun to get a mini Pythor and Scales interaction. Scales wouldve lost his mindddd. My silly little old snake toxic yaoi exes.

Rating early seasons' villains for literally no reason. (This is just my opinion, it's okay if you disagree)

1) Garmadon: do i need an explanation here?

2) Morro: broken soul... He was relatable at some point. I think he deserved better.

3) Nadakhan: I know you hate him, i hate him too. He was very powerful, and he made people hate him, so that's why i think he was a good pure evil villain.

4) Chen: I don't know if i want to punch him or laugh with his silliness sometimes. Does that make sense? Anyway, I think he did great as a villain.

5) Pythor: How many times have we see this guy? Somehow he just survives all the time! He never gives up!

6) Crux and Acronix: I don't know why but i expected more. They had the potential and they didn't use it. They could have been better.

7) Overlord: Just no. I expected soooo much more from him in early seasons.

- Don't ask me "where are the other serpentine?" Or "where's Clouse?", "where's Nadakhan's crew?", "Where's the crimson snakes?", "where's the nindroids?".

I didn't include them because they weren't the major villain.

Also about season 3: i didn't include Cryptor because i consider Pythor and especially Overlord as the main villains of the season. If i had to include him, i think he'd go under Pythor.

good luck babe! by chappell roan but with pythor and scales

Back with the Ninjago design & character analysis bullshit, I'm rewatching, again. I also finished DR and I have ✨ notes ✨ on some of the characters and the new lore, esp. The forbidden five.

Y'know what I like about the serpents from Ninjago specifically about the Hypnobrai?

You can see the hierarchy in their markings; the tribe leader had fully golden markings (hood, torso, head), the second in command's markings are more faded/lighter resembling more of a greyish white on the hood specifically and only some of the golden markings and third in command has more white on them but still some golden accents on markings that are fully golden on the tribe leader.

Couldn't help but notice it between Scales & the og tribe leader (I don't remember the guys name anymore), and the third in command snake (the one who was questioning Scales about letting the og tribe leader lead still when he's under Lloyd's influence). I like that detail a lot.

Also the hood sizes in a way.

Also² I'm only assuming the third in command position bc it in a way sounds kinda plausible but then again it could just be one of the base forms of the coloring and markings for the non-commanding hypnobrais alongside the other variations to it lol.

Scales and Selma the Hyphnobrai couple from Ninjago series

Chua Hybrid Son of Scales, Future Leader of the Hypnobrai Clan

Anyone old enough to remember Blakkycats Chua? With Blakkys permision, I'm his caretaker and adoptive parent now, and I decided to give him an Adult form when he takes over as the leader of the Hypnobrai.

Rise of the Snakes - React, pt 1

Rise of the Snakes

00:13 Yo Wu, chill.  Just because you're the son of basically god you don't gotta be this dramatic.  Leave that to Garmadon, he's better at it anyway

1:05 Ayo, was that the Sacred Flute in that little cabinet Wu's meditating in front of?

1:11 That is a lot of cobwebs

1:29 Is this also a Milton Dyer game?

1:53 Excuse me did Kai's voice just come out of Cole's mouth?

2:02 So the Ninja like pepperoni and black olive pizza, apparently

4:31 How far is Jamanakai Village if it takes them this long to fly there on dragonback but Nya just walks on over in a short enough time there's still daylight during the same day when Lloyd comes back with Serpentine?

5:40 Love that the main character of this entire series was named for a pun

5:54 How common knowledge is Lloyd's existence if Cole already knew he was at Darkly's Boarding School for Bad Boys?  

6:27 Why are the Serpentine treated like this ancient legen if they were only put in the tombs like forty years ago?

7:30 Love how Kai says 'muchacho' and then him speaking apparently Spanish is never brought up again

7:58 ...and that was Cole's voice coming from Kai's mouth.  They're just swapping voices today

9:06 And Kai's words from Cole's mouth again.  What communication breakdown happened between the VAs recording and the animators?

9:59 So if the Hypnobrai line with Ice, and the Constrictai line with Earth, the frick are the Venomari, Fangpyres, and Anacondrai supposed to be?

10:01 Also why are Lloyd's teeth green in this lighting?

10:33 We've seen instances where Hypnobrai hypnotism happens almost immediately, so why does literally nothing happen to Lloyd even though he's maintained eye contact with Slithraa for a good 20 seconds?

10:58 What is the aging process like for Serpentine?  Why are there always tiny snakes that match the features of the Serpentine?  Do they hatch from eggs, be little snakes for a bit, then spontaneously grow arms and legs?  Will someone please explain this?

11:29 If Nya's close to beating Kai's speed record on the training course, shouldn't she figure out Spinjitzu way sooner than whenever she actually does in the show?  Might need to fix that in mine, since Misako's shown to do Spinjitzu without having access to elemental powers.

11:59 How early into the show did Nya start working on the Samurai concept?

13:40 Kai having issues controlling his sword is because dragon = stronger elemental connection

13:50 I love the detail that the fire makes a protective/possessive circle around Kai

14:38 Knowing about Morro makes Wu's saltiness about the Green Ninja shenanigans that much more painful

15:41 To Scales's point though you snakes cannot digest large amounts of sugar

16:10 Does the spirit smoke tell the present, or the future?  Because we kinda see it doing both.  Also does this mean Wu gets high?

17:35 ...aside from the General, do they have tails?

17:52 How the frick did Nya know the antivenin was in the staff?  I get her figuring out Slithraa's the general, but were the Hypnobrai just outright stating 'the cure's in the staff, better not let the villagers get ahold of it'?

19:14 Where is Scales's rattle?  Because snake man does not have a tail at this juncture.

19:50 Nothing to see here, just polluting the water supply for the greater good

20:42 Are they foreshadowing Nya's the Samurai later this season or are they foreshadowing Nya's actually the Water Ninja four seasons from now?

Home

1:44 Why are they calling it a roof, it's a courtyard

3:43 Jay's off-and-on Brooklyn accent from early in the show is weird man

3:55 Zane's probably reminding Wu of Morro with the homeless, parentless child thing...

4:13 I'm sorry, are the dragons' reins directly affixed to their jaws?

6:13 Let the man wear his frilly pink apron in peace

7:32 Zane panting with his mouth shut, 100% robot over here

7:47 Mommy issues anyone?

9:00 I'm with Jay here, I'd want to keep the treehouse

9:30 Kai clearly attended the Jack Sparrow school of getting places

10:51 Good news for that unfortunate Hypnobrai, snakes don't really get concussed

10:32 Wilhelm Scream Counter: 1

11:00 Times Ninja have Turned Evil™:  Cole: 1

11:38 Lloyd in a Cage™ Counter: 1 Alternatively, Times a Ninja Has Been Captured: Lloyd: 1

13:32 Times the Monastery has Burned Down: 1

14:39 Priorities, Jay, yeesh

17:39 Fang Kwan Do; so painfully underutilized.

21:31 Excuse me how the frick did Lloyd find them?

Snakebit

2:45 How does giving the cabin a steambath help exactly?

3:29 How did Ed and Edna know where their son was?  This is like the morning after the monastery burned down, the frick

8:17 Why are the Fangpyres Transylvanian?  I know it's because the vampire aesthetic, but like what would the in-story reason be?  None of the other tribes seem to have accents other than maybe the Anacondra [because Pythor sounds British and I don't remember what Arcturus sounded like]

10:50 Does the bite of the Fangpyre affect other Serpentine?

11:08 Being bitten by the Fangpyres - the only time Jay and his parents shared DNA

11:24 That's rich Cole, considering you've been lying to your dad constantly for years

11:49 From this point onwards Kai, Zane, and Cole should've totally weaponized Nya as a motivational tool against Jay.  Pretty sure most of the time Nya would agree with them.

12:05 I swear Wu ripped that thermometer off the side of a building, because where else do you find one that big.  Also, considering he was walking around from behind the dragon, what kind of thermometer do you think it is?

12:11 Love the detail that the dragons are teenagers too

12:41 What's brilliant about this scene is it's impossible to tell if they were legitimately oblivious or intentionally screwing with Jay

13:23 Brilliant that Jay starts to get a slight Minnesotan accent when agitated; he's his parents' son

13:57 I repeat, can they turn Serpentine?

14:10 I know it's supposed to be creepy and snaky but all I can think of with the wrecking ball is an overripe jack-o-lantern

14:42 They each express it in different ways but I love how each of the Ninja has a protective streak a mile wide

14:52 Jay over here straight Matrix™ing the wrecking ball

15:05 Excuse me Nya was that a crotch shot there

16:12 Jay; Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - Just Add Endangered Parents!

17:16 I'm with Jay here, half the plots in this show would not go nearly as catastrophically sideways as they do if Wu just told people shit

17:55 Jay gets a jet, Kai gets a motorcycle, Cole gets a dope car, Zane...gets a Zamboni.  Or is it a Zaneboni?

18:42 So do they just immediately know how to drive the vehicles because they're in tune with the weapons, or are all these teenagers actually certified drivers?  When did Kai learn how to ride a motorcycle if he's been running a business since he was 5?

19:41 Why did turning into a snake make Ed's goatee black?

20:47 They should totally make the dragon figurehead into a canon at some point in this show

“As of late, however, Ive felt different. My powers feel more…aggressive. My temper shorter. My purpose clouded and uncertain. Maybe I’ve been pushed to the edge by now.”
