#but too dragon to be oni

[greendest1ny]

while i like the idea of the first spinjitzu master being created by accident, or by the balance itself, i adore the concept of an oni and a dragon falling in love with each other against all odds.

i mean they're hereditary enemies, their species have been warring against one another since long before anyone could remember, but despite that they love each other, and abandon everything they know for the other.

and then they have a child, and neither the oni nor the dragon quite understand just how powerful this child will become, just that he's theirs and that they love him.

they name him Xiaobo, meaning little wrestler, because of how feisty this not-quite-pup but not-quite-hatchling seems to be. but the oni doesn't care if their child is a hatchling, and the dragon doesn't care if their child is a pup. they love him because he is their son.

neither oni, dragon, nor Xiaobo have any idea that soon their family will be torn apart. they have no idea that Xiaobo's name will be lost to time, and he will be known only as 'The First Spinjitzu Master'. they don't know that Xiaobo will grow to resent the oni part of himself, and cling to the dragon side and the creation and goodness it seems to promise.

I don't remember this but HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIITT LLOYD WAS CONFIRMED TO BE AT LEAST 9 YEARS OLD HERE AND HE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT??? JESUS FUCK

[yasur-sketches]

what does marketing mean by this.... this is probably what lloyd thinks-SHOT-

I can absolutely see Yan! Ford being into any sort of Darling.

What I mean is that if you have some sort of abnormality (as a human) or are a cryptid/supernatural being/deity/mythical creature/hybrid, he's down. He still loves you and embraces your uniqueness.

That's what makes me go a little feral because just imagine the various scenarios revolving around this.

An angel Darling? He's curious about your ranking and if you're a guardian angel (imagine being his guardian angel and that just making the gears in his head turn PLUS he theorizes that it explains how he's been okay up to this point...as okay as he can get). Your wings are magnificent to him (no matter how many pairs you have). I like the idea of an angel having a pair of wings behind the head that covers the eyes and 👉🏻👈🏻 Ford coaxing you to show your eyes.

Satyr Darling! This man would definitely make a small pen (enclosure) for you when he first snatches you while you weren't paying attention. Bathing you was a bit tricky. He wants to handle you with care, but of course, there's the risk of your kicks. He's sincerely sorry, but he needs to manhandle you just a bit.

He'd definitely need to build some type of tank for any aquatic type such as a Mermaid/Siren/Cecaelia Darling (and just any other type of creature from the sea). In the meantime he just keeps you in the bath...though you're secured just in case. A Naga Darling follows the same procedure, but if you're venomous (in either scenario) he has you in a muzzle until he knows you won't try anything. This hurts him more than it hurts you, you know.

The list can go on and I can talk more about this, but these are just some things that came to mind immediately :3

Do y’all think that Sora is the one who first decides to not go with a similar outfit as the other ninja (Doc said it’s because she dislikes the conformity of all the same looking outfits) and then Arin goes along with that because he loves his best friend, but Sora will continue standing out as unique in a good way while Arin is just gonna be left out? M’just thinking about the way that Arin always looks up to people and copies them instead doing things his own way while Sora is exactly the opposite, and actually goes out of her way to do everything in her own kinda way.

I think I’ve found out why Euphrasia’s colour is purple, or is most commonly seen wearing purple, and something interesting about how Lloyd was coloured when he was possessed by Morro. As well as why oni Lloyd is coloured the way he is (kinda i lowkey forgot about oni lloyd).

So i was messing around with the invert option on ibis paint when drawing Morro recently, and found that Morro (when not possessing Lloyd) was coloured shades of purple and white when inverted:

Bro is glowing purple.

Anyways, it makes sense why Euphrasia is coloured purple, to indicate how she will be different then Morro, she will stand on a different side and live a different life then he did. It also indicates her connection to Morro as his successor, and the second known elemental master of wind.

Moving on to Lloyd:

Looking at the colour wheel, when inverting an image it shows how the image would look if you used the colours directly on the other side of the wheel (I’m pretty sure) and therefore inverting it. So basically, it switches the colours of the images to their opposites.

If you look at where the shades of green are, directly across from them are shades of pink.

And what do we have here when we invert an image of possessed Lloyd?

Shades of pink. The creators had to have done this on purpose, to show how Lloyd has been possessed by someone significantly different from him, from someone who is his opposite, or to be wayyyy more specific, his invert.

It can show how he was corrupted by Morro, how it wasn’t him doing all these actions, but Morro.

Anyways yeah idk if these were done on purpose but i doubt that matters, the colouring was done perfectly to fit the characters, and their situations perfectly and it makes so much sense that possessed Lloyd is inverted pink, whilst Euphrasia is shades of purple similarly to inverted ghost Morro.

WAIT WAIT IT ALSO MAKES SENSE WHY ONI LLOYD IS THEREFORE PINK TOO CAUSE HES THE ‘EVIL’ SIDE OF LLOYD.

EDIT: liked to add on that the green ninja is a symbol of peace, the green ninja is meant to signify harmony and bring balance. The green ninja is all that is good, which is why Lloyd is pink in every canonical depiction of evil he has had. The opposite of good is evil, and if good is coloured green for Lloyd, then pink is the colour for evil for Lloyd.

It’s like the opposite for white is black, or blue is red.

Green and pink is Lloyd’s white and black.

Tattoos, I think Ninjago characters would get

Cole

Jay

Kai

Nya

Lloyd (green on his back and gold on his arm)

Zane and Pixal (digitally, of course, and Zane's would be blue)

[rhapsoddity]

just finished Season 9 for the first time, 

have some scrunkly character designs :P

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

Fuuuuuuuuhhhhccckkkkk I got the most jaw-dropping Lloyd's true form design in my head that would drop you on your knees in awe like you just saw a biblically accurate angel or the God himself but my drawing skills are so ass I could not convey how truly majestic and beautiful it is 😔

[miqotepotatoe]

Me: [sees Ninjago Movie concept art of young Wu & Garmadon] Why does Garmadon look like an older version of Cole?

My autistic brain: Cole is Garmadon's secret son

Me: AU TIME!!!

AU where Lloyd & Cole are brothers, sons of Garmadon & Misako. Cole was born first, five years before Lloyd.

Destiny hates the FSM's bloodline, so the family ends up split up for a decade. Garmadon is banished to the Underworld once the Devourer venom fully corrupts him, Misako goes off to research the Green Ninja prophecy but cannot take a five year old and a baby to dangerous ruins, so she leaves Lloyd at Darkley's and Cole at the Brookstone residence (Lilly is her sister in this au). She seperated her sons because she feared destiny would repeat and they'd end up like Wu and Garmadon, one brother evil the other good.

Events in the show play out as they do in the show canon (Cole get's his earth power from Lilly). Wu knows Cole and Lloyd are brothers, but keeps it secret because he too fears destiny will try and tear them apart. They learn of their relation when they reunite with Misako at the museum. It's a shock for everyone.

Luckily as much as destiny tries to mess up this family, Cole & Lloyd have a very close & healthy relationship and nothing can pit them against each other (asside from sweets).

we need to see a full biological dragon form from Lloyd imo like when he went Oni form

[purpleleafsyt]

I will forever be happy that wildbrain decided to add more brown to Lloyd's general color pallette. It looks so good with green and balances out his eyebrows being brown so well

[general-yasur]

Snatched a template off twt

[jayninjago]

Sktechbook doodle that went out of hand and turned unto an BEM!Lloyd redesign:^)

[fandomsnrambles]

Had a sudden realisation and with it came questions…

Can Dragons also shapeshift or did an oni fr shift into a dragon & get laid?

[mislamicpearl]

UuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY NERFED ZANE AGAIN!!!! PLEASE can Wildbrain hire someone who can ACTUALLY write him as a character instead of just looking for any and every opportunity to render him useless every single season! It's not even funny anymore!
