#Seabound spoilers

[schploinky]

After having a weird ass dream in which Nya's final form was really big and really glowy, it got me thinking about what I would've done to more utilise the idea of her merging with the sea after the events of Seabound and started brainstorming!! This AU is. more of an expansion upon the one-year timeskip between seasons 14 and 15 than a full-blown alternate universe but I have altered a few aspects from the series to better fit my vision (think how Way of the Departed was to Sons of Garmadon). The idea in itself is still pretty bare-bones but I did draw a few concept pieces today and wanted to share !!

The general concept revolves around each ninja's experience with mourning Nya's loss and what happened in the one year between Seabound and Crystalized, specifically delving deeper into what Crystalized set up with each ninja coping in a different way and how that affected their relationships . I am by no means a writer but i'm pretty happy with what i've got going so far ^_^

This has been in my head since I first heard about Seabound and I finally had to make it real.

Ninjago Magazine Comics Translated Issue 85 - The Sea Monster

Hey everyone! If you didn't know, Blue Ocean has a variety of non-canon Ninjago comics (minus one canon comic ft. the story of Lilly) in magazines. They're fun extra stories that happen between scenes or episodes of the show; but some of my favourites, like the one below, are between seasons. This one is Post Seabound. You can sometimes find these magazines in English, but they tend to be pretty rare depending on the area. They are, however, very popular in Europe, especially Germany, which is where I got my collection. As I'm bilingual in German, I've translated the comic below, trying to keep it as direct as possible while still making sense in English. Let me know if y'all enjoy it and if there's any issues in particular you want to see translated (I don't have every issue, but I have a fair bit from newer seasons and a few of older seasons).

The list of other translated comics (if I ever translate more) will be found here

It all comes back to water...

| finally posted this to tumblr as promised ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

this post is going to be wildly unstructured (and also vastly lacking in any semblance of consistent grammar/punctuation usage) because i am just spitting thoughts off the top of my head BUT! since i want to emphasise the permanence of Nya's sacrifice in the high tide AU i was thinking about what would happen to her powers after merging. i think there are two ways in which this could go

Maya is still alive, so Nya's powers could return to her? i'm not sure where i could take this from a narrative perspective because i want maya's arc to focus more around her relationships with ray and kai, as well as misako (i love yo.u misako mwah)

the other more. obvious option would be that Benthomaar would inherit Nya's powers, most likely after encountering her merged form while in the endless sea. i think this could open up a lot of opportunities in terms of his relationship with Jay and the rest of the ninja ,, Bentho is staying at the monastery to support his friends and i'm wondering how that'd affect their dynamic ,, <:o

unrelated note . more people need to take advantage of the parallels between seabound and the entire emily alone album by florist . so much water/oceanic imagery . it is such an utterly devastating collection of songs and i am brought to tears every time i listen to it which does not help my evil ninjago brain at all

bonus blorbos:

🌊🐉 my design for nya after season 14 🐉🌊

my headcanon for part dragons (nya and lloyd) is that nails and hair would grow faster, trying to come closer to claws and a dragon’s mane. their canine teeth would also get slightly pointier. if you looked at nya’s skin closely, it would be more translucent and have a faint, blue, inner glow.

Why did we stop drawing the Barbie Arrested meme?

I would like to fix this. Here's the Ninja getting arrested in that one episode

Just some more little sketches. Expect more
