#lego Ninjago dragons rising

I ACTUALLY IMAGINED AN SCENARIO LIKE THIS TOO.🤣

i think it would be funny if the ninja went to the cloud kingdom as an easy way to get more info on jay and arins where abouts and euphrasia is just like “oh yeah the other monks think jay losing his memories is bad karma for reversing the timeline”and she says it so casually like the skybound events are common knowledge in the cloud kingdom and the other ninja are just like ????

i also think it’d be funny if the monks didnt like jay bc he messed with ‘fate’

I need Dragons Rising to decide if dragons are pets/companions or if they are of equal status to humans and other intelligent species and stop picking snd choosing which dragons get which treatment

Cuz Jiro and the other dragons they use to fly do NOT feel equal they feel like pets. Riyu is slightly better but he still kinda gives pet status

Meanwhile the Source dragons and Rontu and Egalt feel Equal which throws me off

Aside from those dragons all the other dragons jsut feel like instinctual animals and aren't treated the same as any other intelligent species which can't be the vibe they r going for? Since they're trying so hard to emphasize that the dragons ARE of equal status intelligence wise?

RRROBYYY

did anyone find it really weird Lloyd seemed to just… not care about Jay at all in the Tournament of Sources?

like no reaction just a shrug “we don’t know what happened to jay after the merge” and just never really mentions it again? like he’s just mourning the loss of Aron over his own brother and friend who he has known for years?

okay i wanna write a video about ninjago's element system and i know a common criticism is that the system has no rules or there's no patterns to the elements being introduced.

so i want to know when people started to think that the elements being introduced "aren't elements". forgive me if someone has already done this, but i'm curious to know myself.

even if you're a person who's willing to set their disbelief aside for the sake of enjoying the show or if doesn't upset you all that much, when was the moment you went "okay, is that really an element?". it doesn't have to have ruined the show for you, but you at least had the thought or a few questions for the writers.

the final option means that you think every element they've introduced is acceptable, for whatever reason.

here's a list of elements introduced just in case you need a refresh (it's not in chronological order unfortunately)

and i'm asking about the first moment it happened, even if later elements made sense. so if something introduced in s4 was a little too nonsensical, but the stuff in s5 was okay, then vote s4.

and i'm also not considering the difference between elements/essence bc i don't think that's ever addressed in the show. correct me if i'm wrong, though

whether or not elements being similar is a problem to consider (speed/reflex, plants/nature, etc) is up to you

we're probably gonna get more elements going forward and they may be even more crazy, but the poll won't let me make anymore options and i'm script writing now, so i'm not too concerned about it.

and if your answer has nuance or you just have something to say, then feel free to reply/reblog. i wanna know as much as i can about people's opinions for writing this thing. :)

and if there's a massive problem with this poll that i may have missed, then i guess i'll rerun it.

[3ksdee]

hey there sorry for a very long hiatus again, school’s been kicking my ass but now im back with more lava art>:D

context: Id like to think they talked about their memories together to cheer each other up after they broke up lol

In case you guys cant read the texts:

Kai: you are such a messy eater

Cole: Im not THAT messy

Kai: you say that while you have a spot right here

Cole: Thank you so much for loving me Kai

Cole: Im going to miss you so much….

Kai: haha… I should be the one thanking you for giving me the best years of my life….

sora but she's various images of cats I found on Pinterest

[greendest1ny]

erm. there aren't actually people who still think that lloyd's a child. right. please let that man grow up it's been literal years. he literally referred to sora as a 'younger one' when she's around 16, and he called the imperium teen protection force 'the teens'. no minor says that unless they're twelve or under which lloyd obviously isn't. that man is an ADULT and it's time this fandom accepts that

[mrm9roe]

i adore roby ;P

he's so energetic and uhmmm uahhh STANG ZOOT!!

(I LOVE 'yeah yeah whatever')

Evil Jay is Kinda a Sad Character, but Maybe Not in the Way You Think

When a lot of people think of the inherent tragedy of Post-Merge Jay, many of the common things they point too is the loneliness, isolation, and loss of everything he used to care about due to his amnesia. With good reason too, because its not just tragic how he used to have a wonderful life and he can't remember it or how he's in the worst possible position right now (alone and with a Shattered Soul, whatever that may entail), but its also tragic because everyone that cares about him are powerless to do anything to help. Even if they find him, I'm confident that its not gonna be as easy as a heartfelt reunion.

Something that I don't see many people talk about that I think is rich in that sweet, sweet angst and drama is the fact that right now, nobody wants Jay for who he is. It's an idea I've been thinking about a lot, and kinda why I'm so interested in the concept of this "Evil Jay".

What I mean about that is this... Nya and the other Ninja want the Jay they knew from before the Merge. Ras only wanted Jay to further stack the deck against the Ninja in the Tournament. Arin only wanted to go after Jay because he could have some insight on where his parents ended up after the Merge. And presumably, the Administration only wants/wanted Jay because he was a good enough Agent to get promoted to middle management.

The consensus of many fans seems to be that Jay has trouble with how he sees himself, but what about this version of Jay? When one of these parties eventually finds him, do you think they're gonna ask him how he's been or what he's been up to? Or do you think they're gonna try and get him to do something for them, whether that be giving up some information or becoming someone he doesn't remember?

Ras sees him as a tool to be used and discarded when needed, Arin sees him as a means to an end, The Administration most likely sees him as their property, and the Ninja see someone who he doesn't even remember being.

At this very moment, no one wants Jay Walker for who he is.

Huh. That's actually pretty cool!
