Ninjago writers in later seasons: dragons are good and Oni are bad :3

Me, looking at season 2 “““final””” battle Overlord, who was very much a dragon: Okay, buddy.

I think there’s some real untapped comedy potential between Imperium and the Ninja’s crazy abilities and history.

Like, the Ninja can summon elemental dragons. Does anyone remember that? Conquering their fears and summoning dragons? This is like, prime bait and switch material here.

Picture this. Imperium is trying to steal dragons. They found a horde of them and started trapping. The Ninja show up, save the day, etc etc, and Kai gets the brilliant idea to summon his elemental dragon. Imperium people have never in their life seen an elemental dragon. Far as they’re concerned, its just a cool looking dragon. Its one the Ninja seem to like, so they all target it.

All of the dragons escape. Except for this red fire dragon. The Ninja leave without it. Score! They’ve at least got one dragon to take home, and its a funky new kind of dragon! So they pack it up and start to head back and where the fuck did the dragon go. What do you mean it VANISHED INTO THIN AIR. What do you mean it DISSIPATED. Is it invisible?  Nope, it’s just. Gone. Completely. Poof. Did it teleport? Can dragons teleport? When was that a thing dragons could do. How. What the fuck. 

This happens four more times before all of Imperium starts avoiding shifty magical looking dragons like the plague, no matter how many normal ones are around. They don’t mess with spooky teleporting dragons, no THANK YOU

Just gonna rant about two elemental powers in my AU, one being canon and the other not, so that I can compare the two. These two elements being Dragon's Lighting (Jay's Lightning) and Wojira's Lightning (My OC Kayden's Lightning. Who was literally just named on November 10th after existing for much longer)

Because yes there are two lightning elements in my AU. Mainly because of Wojira.

One big difference between the two is the color of the lightning when the holder of the power creates it. A Dragon's Lighting Elemental creates blue lighting and occasionally yellow lightning, which is more dangerous. Whereas a Wojira's Lightning Elemental just creates purple lighting, with no color indication of if their lightning is more dangerous or not than a previous bolt.

However, this does not mean a Dragon's Lightning Elemental is restricted to manipulating blue and yellow lightning and a Wojira's Lightning Elemental to purple. This is specifically just the colors of the lighting they create. They can manipulate any lighting they fucking wish.

Another is, of course, the origins. Dragon's Lighting was gifted to the first Dragons Lightning Elemental by the FSM. Wojira's Lightning was gifted to the first Wojira's Lightning EM by Wojira (though her doing so was more of an accident than it was in the FSM's case, who did so deliberately).

Alternate Names for Dragon's Lightning Include: Lightning (typically used by Ninjagans that don't know Wojira's Lightning exists), Light Lightning, and Creation Lightning

Alternate Names for Wojira's Lightning: Dark Lightning, Destructive Lightning

However, something to note is that technically both of the lightning elemental powers came from dragons, with there being a Source Dragon of Light Lightning and a Source Dragon of Dark Lighting. There were also two Source Oni of these respective elements.

But the names came from who directly gave the first EM of their element's their power. Somehow, Wojira got ahold of three of the Source Creature's elements via the Amulets of Wave and Storm, being water, wind, and dark lightning, using these elements to attempt to destroy her realm, and then accidentally giving these powers to people living in the Realm, who used them to fight her.

Whereas for Light Lightning, the FSM, who was part dragon, gave it to the first Dragon's Lightning elemental.

Hence the names

(I want to note that the Keepers of the Amulet are not Elemental Beings of Dark Lightning. They themselves cannot physically harness lightning whatsoever. Instead, they use Purple Aquariume, which has the ability to transfer elements between themselves, to harness this lightning, whether it be for fighting or to power stuff)

Feel free to ask any questions regarding the Eclipse Born AU in my askbox!!!

Huh 🤨

Wu and Bonzle! I was originally going to do a Gandalaria/Bonzle piece, but I liked this scene and it gives me an excuse to add Wu to the collection. Plus I really wanted to draw the Dragonstone Shrine, it was probably my favorite set out of the last wave.
