#kailor but not really

[temporarypenintraining]

random hcs about what happens after Crystalized (mostly relationship-based) Garmadon goes back to Vinny (they aren't actually together yet because Vinny is still figuring out what the heck these feelings are for this annoying Oni roommate), they have to stay somewhere else cuz of the gaping hole in Vinny's apartment, but eventually they actually get together and are very much in love. Kai and Skylor get together and it's fine for a while, but eventually they realize that it's just not going to work between them. They break up, Skylor realizes she's a lesbian and Kai realizes he's been in love with Cole since literally forever. Lloyd visits Harumi in prison regularily, and they even try to sort of be like how they used to be. But when "how it used to be" was built on lies, it's hard to figure out how your relationship works. They decide to just be friends and as their trauma heals they grow more into a sibling dynamic (see, I can have my cake and eat it, too!). Jay and Nya FINALLY get married. It's a beautiful wedding. Nya does NOT wear a dress (she has wedding dress-related trauma, guys), Cole is Jay's best man, Pixal is Nya's Maid of Honor and during the Parent Dance Nya chooses to dance with her brother instead of her dad (Ray understands, Kai raised her WAY more than he did). Back to G and V, Lloyd finds out when they start dating and at first has conflicting emotions, but then he sees just how damn happy his dad is, and how much better of a man he has the potential to become. He starts hanging out with them and reconnecting with his father, and his new step-dad is trying his absolute darndest to get his step-son some professional help. Lloyd eventually goes to therapy and also gets a cat (they're easy to take care of, especially when you're going on ninja missions, and Lloyd has always been more comfortable talking about his feelings around animals. Very theraputic). Zane and Pixal are vibing. They've got their lovely daughter and are very happy. That is all.

as much as verbal boyfriend confirmation would be nice for geo/cole, i genuinely don't actually think it's necessary for the relationship to count as "canon" considering the standards for how most hetero relationships are portrayed in ninjago is as equally devoid of verbal confirmation or even like. consistent physical affection, with the exception of jaya. Like, pixane is barely more cuddly than most friends, and Kai canonically dropped the ball with Skylor by forgetting to call her for years. Quite frankly with the amount of physical affection present, calling each other family, and underlying romantic coding Geo and Cole have, I'd consider it the third most prominent romance in the series and I mean that pretty seriously.

I don’t think this is an unpopular opinions but lowkey fannon kailor is sm better than cannon kailor.

Behold, my least favorite line in the entirety of Ninjago!

[firesofdainix]

Skylor: yo my boyfriend says your posts make him laugh

Skylor: I will make you miserable

Cole: he's OUR boyfriend now

[memory-redacted]

Currently torn between the cannon ship of kialor and having cole be aroace cause sincerely this makes the most sence to me, or shipping lavashipping and having skylor be a lesbian and putting her with harumi. Sincerely if i go with the first one, which i probably will at this point cause aroace rep, i'll probably put harumi in a 3som with sally and gene lol. Poly rep. Yeah this'll probably be what i do. I like lavashipping but this makes the most sence to me.

My thoughts on Dragons Rising S1-S2P1!

⚠️ POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD, TREAD LIGHTLY ⚠️

1. Arin is literally SO Autism coded I swear and you cannot tell me otherwise. It literally pissed me off so bad how that master dragon was treating him. He's a smart boy, he learns quick too!! But sometimes he gets stuck and held back by his own self. He needs a lot of patience when it comes to his training!! Stressing him out is not doing wonders for him grgrgrg. (I say this as a certified Autistic person)

2. The ninja are literally experiencing the Zane effect. His curse his spreading. My evidence?

Lloyd - Visions - Zane used to have many visions that all came true and they often caused him to wake in a startled state.

Jay - 100% no memory, plus it seems likely that he may turn to the dark side, if only temporary. - Do I really have to say it? Ice, fucking, Emperor.

Kai - Gets stuck in another dimension. - Oh ehm gee, Zane with the ice emperor arc.

3. My god, when Nya saw that fake vision of Jay not remembering her and she said she realize it was fake because there was no possible way he could forget her... it literally broke my heart. Like girl, I am sorry. I am so so sorry. You're love for him is so sweet but...it might seem a little crazy what I'm about to tell you...

4. Cole and Geo are so fucking gay, it's so sweet. They're so cute!!! I love them so much I can't 😭

5. Lloyd my poor poor boy. The visions just utterly terrorizing him was so devastating to watch. I felt so bad for him. I'm glad he managed to find peace with it, if somewhat.

6. What happens if Kai comes across the other four of the Forbidden Five?? What are the gonna do to him?? Please for the love of god-

7. Still waiting for a Cole v. Jay showdown. I need it and I need it now.

8. I miss Wu, Pixal, and Skylor!! And Dareth. Give Zane and Kai their girlfriends back istg. And like, maybe actually do Kailor justice for real this time?? Just sayin. And don't you DARE say Wu is dead, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL BUILT ON DENIAL, JUST YOU WATCH.

9. Hear me out on this first Forbidden Five dude, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU-

10. I think it would be kinda silly if one of the Ninja actually got stuck with a wolf mask on while the gong thing was set off, and something bad actually happened with it?? More conflict and angst and drama please, make my heart bleed.

11. What are ya'lls theories on Jay so far after S2P1? I wanna hear em!!

And that concludes my thoughts...for now!! :)

[colekinnie-4life]

So last post I made, I said that the ninja in my au have side jobs. It's how they make their money for new uniforms and other things like food and stuff.

Well now I'm exposing what those jobs are.

Kai- Server at Chen's Noodles. Skylor hired him almost immediately since they were really good friends (they had been dating for about a month before that, but Skylor said it would work out better if they were just friends. Sorry Kailor fans.)

Jay- Pizza Delivery Boy. Got rehired at that place he worked at in Season 2.

Cole- Daycare teacher. Pretty self explanatory.

Lloyd- Washes windows at that place he worked at during Crystallized.

Zane- Works at an Ice Cream Parlor.

Nya- Works alongside Kai at Chen's.

And- that's it.

I was bored ok.

[ninjaninjagogo]

i just think it’s really funny that they set up kai and skylor to be a couple and then it never happens. i’m a kailor shipper but the fact that they let skylor just exist and run a noodle shop without her just being Kai’s Love Interest is kind of great actually

[s0ull3ss-p3rs0n]

ME, IT'S ME, I JUST CAN'T MAKE IT INTO POSTS YET BUT I SWEAR

there is a stunning lack of ppl that ship both kailor and geode here

[skierisa]

Throwback to an old fanfiction of mine where Kailor is a thing, but when asked if they're dating Skylor says yes and Kai says no

Things got really awkward

[trashnotfound]

Time for my usual run down of the season , didn’t do it how I usually do because honestly I had not very nice things to say about the first 5 episodes 💀

Dr s2 pt2 spoielrs ahead

- jay? Jay!?! JAY!? Hello what was THAT- IT Was a COP out honestly, all the hype and build up for a shit ass reveal and a boring fight between him and nya, only for him to LEAVE 5 minutes later. I wanted more of him being evil, it was so rushed and just usless. Like they could have just made nya find him or something, he didn’t have to be evil, Because they did literally NOTHING with it. I know they probably realise they need a whole season to build up to jay but maybe if they didn’t focus on Lloyd all the time they could??

-It was nice to see some old characters again, like tox and Mr pale! Finally some old rep 😭 I just wish they we’re actually utilised properly. I didn’t want just cameos I wanted actual character arcs or something. I know I’m asking for a lot and “should be greatful to even get to see them” but s4 showed all the old elemental master so well, and they all at least got a little moment to shine even if just for one fight, then they added to that with season 9. It just felt like a *here’s your old characters now shut up*

-People may think I’m being too picky with this, but the random panning to Geo and other characters with jayas fight TOOK ME OUT!? Like we just had this super emotional revels and now jay and nya gotta fight, oh okay we’re just gonna show a purple goblin mid scene ?? Like it just took me out the moment and was also so random. Like he doesn’t even know nya that well, why are we seeing his reaction more then the ninjas. Same for the audience. Like they don’t know these people WHY ARE THEY HERE

- wyldfyre and Roby! What can’t I say about them. Saved the season for me honestly. I like how wyldfyre actually got a break this season and got to be goofy and silly. We really saw more of her personality shine! Her being the comic relief was really refreshing to see. Plus her and Roby instantly hitting it off, just like Kailor did was such a cute nod to them. The fact that their just so sweet and full of puppy love, they couldn’t be more different then eachother but that isn’t mentioned ONCE (I like that) wyldfyre takes on all of Roby words, and him roaring for her to show he loves her too. I just adore how they take on eachother characteristics and embrace how their different. Plus the blatant flirting 😭🤚🏻 made giggle

- ERIN LOW KEY TURNING EVIL HELLO!? I was kinda expecting someone to turn on the ninja, honestly shocked it was Erin. Him and sora fighting broke my heart :( I can 100% understand his point of view, it’s been over a year since he met Lloyd and he’s still no closer to his parents. It does suck and I wish it was prioritised too, but Lloyd can’t help that all the danger they have been facing is world ending. Someone just needs to give him and hug. But I also think he needs to learn he can’t have everything in life. He wanted to be a ninja and he got that! I know he lots his parents but so did sora. I just think he needs a good hug and some support

- cole and zane we so pushed aside this season. I know they aren’t the main focus anymore, but for cole especially just doesn’t feel like a character anymore? He hasn’t since 13 honestly. I don’t think it helps that I’m still getting used to Andrew voicing him ( no fault of his own the writers won’t give him enough material to work with) so it genuinely feels like a new character to me. Plus his lack of interest in the ninja. Zane could have been used so much this season to analyse their opponents and help train sora, but they just cast him aside. Like hello he had an entire episode DEDICATED TO HIM BEING A DETECTIVE? Why didn’t they let him help Erin figure out the murders ( yes it was to do those flashbacks of his parents but that didn’t really add much)

- Kai coming back was so underwhelming, I honestly would have liked if they waited till next season to do that. We didn’t get a proper reunion of him and wyldfyre or nya :(

- ep 11-20 did not feel like a part 2, they felt like an entire different season. The separate parts really don’t merge well on my opinion. We’re following 2 completely different story lines and fighting 2 different villains. Their isn’t really an over arching storyline aside from Ras and his gang. Who don’t even turn out to be the main villains 💀 this part just felt like a re do of seaosn 4 but a lot more boring. I really couldn’t get into the story until at least episode 5. It was just way to repetitive with no real danger being shown.

I think that’s everything I wanna talk about for now, there’s others but they more small critiques or details I liked. Not my favourite season ( you can probably tell lol) definitely the worst of all 4 parts so far in my opinion. But I’m hoping season 3 is better since we hopefully have an actual evil ninja ( Erin) and jaya to look forward too

[penofwildfire]

OKAY! SO. I illegally accessed Peacock (my computer now thinks I'm from Oregon) and am just starting the fourth episode of this half! My beloved boyfriend and my roommate are taking a smoke break so I thought I'd take the time to go through my thoughts on the season so far! Spoilers ahead!

-Okay, first off, HOLY SHIT THEY KILLED OFF THE MATRIARCH RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT'S INSANE. JUST A FUCKING ON-SCREEN DEATH IMMEDIATELY. AND SHE HAD A BABY. WHAT THE HELL.

-This seems to be an unfinished cut of the season. The editing is sloppy, I assume (hope) it'll be more polished in the Netflix release

-There is SO MUCH HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IT'S ACTUALLY CRAZY LIKE WHAT

-Roby is definitely gonna be an antagonist at some point, the parallels to season 4 kailor are too strong for him not to be. Wyldfyre really is taking up that Red Ninja mantle.

-SO. MANY. ELEMENTAL MASTERS. WOW.

-I think the new master of shadow might just be Shade post-transition ngl she looks just like him but a girl. I will stick with this theory til it is proven otherwise.

-Jordana is struggling I feel so bad for her. Still deadnaming Sora though, she should work on that.

-Arin's childhood bestie is such a cutie I love this kid. So glad to see a serpentine that isn't a Hypnobrai for once. I think he's probably Constrictai? Based on the colours and the Earth-related element.

-Snail is new master of nature. Wonder what happened to Bolobo. Eh, he probably just died lol.

-BONZLE WAS ON SCREEN BRIEFLY MY GIRL IS OKAY AUGH I'M SO HAPPY YAY YAY YAY HOPE SHE AND KAI DON'T DIE OR SOMETHING IDK BUT YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

-Nya finally has an idea that Jay might be close by!!!!! Yay!!!!!

Anyway that's my thoughts for now I'll add more later !

[masterofstringcheese]

chat possibly bad take but i personally like how kailor is

am i sad we don’t get moments? yep

but

kai is a freaking ninja as in he doesn’t just go around being silly and fighting little crooks he quite literally saves the dimension on near daily and canonically has been doing this for over a decade or two

so like yes of course he loves skylor but he can’t prioritize her and why would he pursue someone he couldn’t commit to in the way she deserves?

plus it’s not like they age normally. yeah they’re all about late 20s now but keep in mind how long their parents have been their age like clearly they have very delayed aging

so like yall complain (same complaints about cole) that it’s not developed but maybe consider kai and cole are people who have more responsibilities than a girlfriend/boyfriend?

jay and nya are on the same team same as pixal and zane so they can committ

skylor is portrayed as a regular person most cameos, so her and kai can’t fully commit to he eventually settles down which is actually REALLY cool and complex for a kids show

okay sorry yap yap bye bye

[ninja-confession-go]

it really annoys me sometimes the way fandom boils couples down to some boilerplate idea of relationship in an attempt to give the women more agency that just rehashes the same 3 archetypes for women characters. like common jaya or kailor fan please describe their relationship in a way that doesn't include the words malewife, girlboss, or pegging. you have five seconds
