AYO???

[fiberturkey89]

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]

Dragon form Lloyd (the lighting on him looks wonky because it's supposed to be accommodating a second thing in the art).

[fiberturkey89]

'She's more of a dragon than y'ever will be, Torchspark.'

'That's rich, coming from you-'

'You ain't thinking straight, kid. Shut up and listen-'

As the two dragons argued, getting closer and closer to trading teeth and claws with the others unsure of what to do, Wyldyfre, surprisingly, stepped away towards him. Breathing in and out, her hands changing from red to white hues of fire constantly.

Realization dawned on him a second later when she turned it to blue briefly, hands clenching and unclenching. It really, really felt startingly familiar to a conversation he had with his father, one he didn't like thinking about.

___

For most of his teenage years, Lloyd believed the Oni and the Dragon represented the core ideal of good and bad.

He's... not really sure anymore, on who's good and who isn't.

Takes place during Dragons Rising, S1PT1 episodes six through ten!

[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).

Work in progress design of Trials and Errors! Firstbourne

Heavily inspired by various dragons from the series from early as Rise of the Serpentine to Dragons Rising, she has a little bit of most of them. Also, yes, four heads like Ultra.

[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...

[fiberturkey89]

Alright imma throw my hat in the ring because I thought about it.

Ray and Maya having visible cheekbones in the war flashbacks and Hands of Times makes sense in the fact that they probably weren't EATING well. Like, why would Acronix give them enough to allow themselves to fight? Did they even have many chances to eat during the Serpentine Wars?

Honestly, its also probably why Maya became a health nut in Seabound- as I brought it up with a friend. She probably never had the opportunity to care for her own personal nutrition and would fall into the thought process of better and longer. (This last paragraph was what my friend suggested/said)

[fiberturkey89]

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.
