AYO???

Lightning Dragon for my "Once a Flock, Now a Thunder" Ninjago AU!

Oh man, Egalt and Rontu lost leaders there, and neither might not even know. That's gotta hurt a shit load.. but it also gives story ideas

It's likely Nokt and Rox targeted them first out of sheer spite, with Lupine(Riyu's Matriarch) being another one specifically targeted

[fiberturkey89]

So.. like... does Firstbourne choose not to talk or she sort of just... can't? Like, can she choose to talk telepathically or physically?

Also, I'm gonna bet Egalt and Rontu were around to at least bear witness to some aspects of the Oni v Dragon war, considering they're OLD.

Though it makes me curious... how do the two interact with Firstbourne? Do they view her as their grand mother of sorts?

Ugh, Dragons Rising. You make me have so many questions for the All Mother.

Lloyd clutched his head, feeling energy course through his back, his arms, his legs. The same, ice cold feeling that he felt years ago. Looking at his hands past the blurry vision to make sure, his eyes widened.

Not now, anything but now! Why was it reacting like this!? The dragons would react to him – he needed to stop!

He gripped his hand, trying to make the purple veins in his green disappear. He begged everything out there that it would go away- he absolutely did not need Arin seeing this.

He felt his teeth elongate painfully, his skin pulling as it shifted to accommodate scales, his skull exploding with pain as his horns prepared to surface. His breathing hitched when he felt his fingers and nails started fusing together, changing.

Lloyd tighted the hold on his head, trying to drown out the dragons with little sucess.

Lloyd is in trouble.

[fiberturkey89]

The fact she didn't even last a round man. Damn.

Also- we finally talkihg about Garma-Gone

[fiberturkey89]

Okay, so I lied. Headcanons for all the Ninjas with Dragons living in the Monastery.

I decided to throw in a redeemed Morro, too, because like.. think about it. Wojira duo plus a Lightning Dragon.

Send help. I love the Dragons Rising Dragons.

While Jiro and Nya do go for flights around the mountains as stated in previous post, one of the more "weird" things they do together is sit outside in the courtyard when its raining and windy, Morro often joins them despite having passed on his Elemental Power to Euphrasia.

Jiro often uses his wings to provide cover for the ex-Elemental Master of Wind, while Nya prefers to sit away from the cover where she can feel the downpour. Jiro simply likes the thunder and lightning that boom, it's comforting.

And it's also when the Lightning Dragon is at his most alert. Whenever Nya or Morro become despondent, he nudges them closer so they can feel his warmth to ground them back. It's not something they like, but it becomes unbearable to ignore the call of the Elements. Even with Vengestone braces.

Riyu sometimes sits with them. He and Jiro talk to each other about their lives in the mountains before The Merge. Vigor(The Adult Mountain Dragon) also does sit with them occasionally. They're more of a sit in the cave and watch though.

Wyldfyre, Kai, Torchspark(Fire Dragon from Imperium), and Heatwave love sun-bathing in the summer. Wyldfyre talked Kai into it, and the big oaf won't admit he likes it. Sometimes, he brings melons for the Dragons and sandwiches for him and Wyldfyre.

The four of them also enjoy fireworks, too, it scratches something in their brains, you know? (They also love firecrackers, but keep them away from Wyldfyre as she often tries launching them into the air before igniting them).

Lounging around in hotsprings is also a very nice time between the four of them after a hard days work. Wyldfyre usually ends up falling asleep, so she as to stay on Heatwaves back.

Despite being both Ice Elementals, Glacier and Zane prefer staying inside! Pixal was the one who usually dragged Zane out of the house during winters, and without her, he is far, far more hesitant to go out without any of the fire Elementals.

While they stay inside, Zane often simply retells Glacier stories of him and Shard, who the Ice Dragon recognizes and, in turn, tells stories about her own realm, being the Never Ream(Where she and Jiro come from, actually) Her own parents had known the sires to the guardian of the Shurikens of Ice.

Rockside and Cole often have loads of fun creating rock towers or buildings together, Geo often comes in, too, to make sure their projects don't break. One of their favourite creations is actually a small rock castle made for Fritz and Spitz.

As the name goes, Rockslide has fun going down hills. He loves mudslides and avalanches, often joined up by Sora, Wyldfyre, Riyu, and Arin alongside Kai(adrenaline junkies, the lot of them Though Nya is no better alongside Lloyd).

Riyu and Zanth enjoy playing tag, and they often drag Sora and Arin into the mix alongside the Fritz and Spitz. (Zanth and Riyu have to be careful, though, because Heatwave WILL chew them out for playing too rough).

[fiberturkey89]

Okay but this screenshot goes kinda fuckin' hard?? I wonder if Heatwaves "frills" also act as a defense so that Wyldfyre doesn't get shot at while the two titans duke it out

[fiberturkey89]

So I cobbled these together, yeah? Using Sevika(Amirah Vann) for Zanth and Vander(JB Blanc) to see how it fits and... maybe its my hype blindness but these kinda work really well?

Might try doing Jiro n Riyu. I have a VERY specific voice for Jiro in mind and I just need to find it...

The Dragon redesigns I've done thus far for the First Realm - I am missing two, though I'm excited for them. Right now, Earth and Ice are probably my favourites with Wind coming in third(Tap the image for better quality). Which one do you like?

[fiberturkey89]

I'm a bit early- but screw it we ball. Morro's Dragon from Season Five! I had a ton of fun with this one when it came to designing them. Generally, I wanted them to look/feel like how I envision Wind Dragons in my headcanon.

Background is concept art for Haunted Hill - found on the Ninjago Wiki.

Oh also, fun fact from the wiki:

[fiberturkey89]

Heatwave and Jiro who I updated a little! (Tap the images for better quality) alongside a not so accurate size comparison with Lloyd.

Heatwaves design was honestly really fun when I got the motion going, wanted him to look like a proper Patriarch considering Wyldfyre I'm p sure calls him one? I'm very fond of how these two have come out.

So because tumblr always inspires me, I went back and looked - I forgot to repost The Crossroads headcanons from my old account - I think? Plus some additions.

When The Crossroads was new, people were still getting used to living in a community that was so mixed. It took about a year.. two or three where it started to become more like the present day Crossroads.

The Serpentine were a major factor in the construction of The Crossroads; the bridge they built was actually done by Fangpyre and Constrictai. Not to mention they, besides, the Merlopians and any surviving people of Ninjago City were the first to be there.

The Geckles, Munce, and any Shintarins that found their way there were the next peoples to come, followed by Chima's tribes save for the Eagles and Ravens who are missing alongside the Bears.

There are Oni living at The Crossroads, though they prefer to live in the Ruins of Ninjago City. They do visit for The Crossroads Carnival, though! Or other seasonal events.

Formlings are actually a semi-recent addition to The Crossroads! They came during years two and three before the present day.

Most of the Serpentine don't follow a king anymore, though some do live under Skales' rule for the assurance and security of a decent leader. Skales actually does run a couple of businesses in The Crossroads. Mainly entertainment locations such as dance classes, gyms, and yoga.

Bytor and Fangtom do share joint leadership of the largest construction company in The Crossroads(most of the buildings are from them). Though they're always looking to hire new hands, it's actually why the buildings are much more mixed now!

Acidicus runs a library somewhere in The Crossroads, though he does dabble inside businesses in stores that sell hunting equipment. He's also one of the few who know how to forge Vengestone equipment. Most notably, knives. (Skylor owns one)

Skylor gave food away to help the poor and in need- when the The Crossroads had gotten more developed she began to charge relatively fair prices for deliveries(Arin was one of her volunteer workers and she refused not paying them back at least a little bit. They called it volunteering, but it was more of a job.. shhh. )

Skylor actually likes working with her staff/any volunteers in the kitchens instead of doing paperwork. She often walked around to help package, cook, and make sure that everyone was safe within the restaurants that managed to survive The Merge Storm.

Instead of Nya, she helped Sora gain her trust in adults and people in general. This was when Sora had first started living with Arin. Something had drawn the Master of Amber to the kid. Maybe it was similar to how they were raised, but Sora very much looks up to Skylor and Skylor in turn looks up to Sora.

She's one of the people that left portraits of the Ninja for the Memorial tent during the Crossroads Carnival and Spirit Festival.

She rarely goes there.

She actually still has little bits of Kai's firepower before he disappeared in The Merge, and misses him a lot more than she wants to admit to herself. (Sora tries to get her to open up).

Skylor and a couple of other people helped Sora make her armoured prosthetic, going into the junkyard and getting the parts with her.

Group names for Dragons

A group of Lightning Dragons = a thunder

A group of Ice Dragons = a blizzard

A group of Fire Dragons = an eruption

A group of Earth Dragons = a crash

In regards to ones like the Mountain Dragons, e.g, Riyu, Vigor, Fir, and Lupine(Mountain Matriarch), a flock works.. granted a herd of Dragons can too I guess?

So that could apply to Firstbournes flock too, though it depends on who you ask. Before Iron Baron's death it'd probably be smth like, Firstbourne's tyranny and then after jts Firstbourne's flock.

WIP Firstbourne redesign

Imagine if Harumi all this time later after Crystallized sort of just.. comes to realize that she made a mistake in doing what she did. Everything that built up to the Sons of Garmadon and then her death.

She got her best friend(Echo Zane) killed at the hands of Garmadon because she failed him - and that's why she made Mr.F. to give her company in the corridors of the temple and remind her of failing her only real remaining family - even if she didn't realize it and even took him for granted.

Imagine as she's sitting in her cell at Kryptarium, that she feels bad for what she did to Hutchin's. She comes to regret what she did, but she has to live the consequences because that's what she committed to and has to live with the blood on her hands. Her peoples blood. Lives she cut short just like the Ninja, albeit she summoned a psychopath whereas they were just teenagers trying to do damage control.

Man. How I wish Harumi was tragic in Crystallized.
