#ninjago dragons rising season 1 part 1

[toastingpencils37]

Just like the Merge took Arin's parents, it also took the Monastery dragon's wings

[nicolloyd]

what he lookin at me for

[l1-b1]

I love drawing the smith sibling’s hair

[crappyyuki]

More Lego Ninjago!

This man has me on a choke hold.

Like. I started this just after the other post and finished in 2 hours. 2 HOURS. Its a miracle. My average is around 5 hours XDDD

Spoilers!

Anyway. Its his time to shine. As a father mentor to his daughter a feral child. And be the badass ninja that he is.

But also he dumb because he is so dumb.

I love him so much. He is so my fav.

I love the sketch too. I couldn't capture its essence during the rendering stage so imma just—

Mwah. I love it so much. Idk how I pulled it off. It came outta nowhere omg.

I love Kai. Hope to see more content of him.

And his trauma on Nether Space omg gimme the details. SPILL THE TEA GOSH DAMMIT! Did he get depresso cuz he's told he's trapped there for eternity but no expresso cuz he has to keep the bravado for his amigo Bonzle?

(Idk where that came from.)

Pls share ideas my god. I might draw them. Or write. Or cry. Idk. Whatever comes first.

Give the fire big bro some love pls. He deserves it. He's been sidelined for so long oh my god you have no idea. Its so disheartening cuz he was the protagonist on the beginning and has been for a long time in my eyes. He deserves some screen time and main character energy.

Like he had such a main character energy when he came back. That entrance was FIRE and that line was COLD. He is so cool. Gosh.

(Let him collapse pls. Nether Space should not be good for a not shattered soul like him. Like, did his soul shatter when he was sucked into the portal? If so, what are the effects? I have so many questions.)

(Also also I'm so curious to what happens when you forcefully shatter someone's goodness with the gong of shattering. If that's a thing, PLS DO IT TO KAI PLS. HE DESERVES A VILLAIN ARC!

LET HIM FIGHT HIS FAMILY.

MAKE THEM SUFFER.)

I love Kai man. You have no idea.

[hiddensneker]

This part of the finale went crazy

[grayskyalt]

dr lloyd doodle cuz i actually haven't drawn him in foreverr

[ameliadoesstuff]

not that i'm bitter

[user-without-a-cool-acronym]

Have I rewatched the first two episodes of season 1 more times than I could count? Yes

Do I still start grinning like crazy when hearing that first "I think that mask belongs to me"? You better fucking believe it

[dresh-rx]

for art requests could you draw ras maybe…

:)

The burn on Arin was so severe he reverted to his edgy phase

I haven't drawn anthros in ages so now i have to delete my search history...

Hey so I finally finished Part 2 of Dragons Rising, and Kai and Wyldfyre are so special to me.

I swear, if I was in Kai's shoes in ep 13, I would've killed her. He's SO unbelievably patient, and I find it funny how a few episodes later he says that no one has ever called him patient before. Like, you're doing better than I would! Nya DEFINITELY would've strangled Wyldfyre after she nearly got them killed the first time. But just, the fact that he's willing to be so patient with her because he sees a little bit of himself in her, OUGH.

And the turning point in their relationship being him showing her how he coped post Seabound, I'm going crazy and this show is the cause.

Them bonding through arson.

AND in the last episode how Kai seeks VENGEANCE after she gets sucked into one of the mergequakes, which then leads HIM to getting sucked in. How he's the only og ninja to get sucked in because of that. Do you think they were trying to find each other in there? They did come out at nearly the same time, and for Riyu it took a little bit longer. And then how once they're out Wyldfyre just fucking TACKLES him into a hug. :'))) I AM UNWELL OVER THE FIRE LEGO PEOPLE!!!

My favorite father daughter duo is now them. You can pry them from my cold dead hands.

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!! :)

[toastingpencils37]

It's actually crazy to think that even while excluding Jay (sorry Jay) we still haven't seen the remaining of the original ninja all together yet.

Because in Season 1 Part 1, Lloyd finally gets reunited with Nya, Kai, and Zane by the end, but not yet Cole.

And then when Cole is found, it's only Nya (with Sora), and Cole doesn't come with them.

And then with the Mech shorts, though it is pretty possible that Cole did interact with Zane, Zane doesn't pop up in the shorts at all. Plus none of the shorts have all of the other four together. (Kai and Cole for short 1; Nya, Kai, & Cole for short 2; then finally Lloyd, Kai, & Cole for short 3).

Then Cole finally actually gets reunited with Zane on screen in Season 2 Part 1, though the rest of the ninja aren't there.

THEN, at the end of Season 2 Part 1, we have all the ninja together (excluding Jay again), right? WRONG. Kai's gone. All of them are there, but now another ninja is missing and gone.

Okay so like half a year ago I had. A ninjago dream. And I never mention my dreams but like sometimes I’ll just remember this one at random times and this is one of those times and I feel like tumblr needs to know about it for some reason

the dreams plot was barely coherent I don’t even know if I could explain it BUT!!!

At some point Cole and Jay are in Jays like. Apartment/office or something. And I VERY vividly remember that Jay had like a makeshift genderfluid flag on their desk.

And Cole’s immediate reaction was “oh why didn’t he tell us !!!!” And immediately after wonders if he should make a bigender flag for herself. This dream has since perpetually lived in my head as the “Genderfluid Jay & Bigender Cole” dream.

And like just to clarify, from what I can remember the reason Cole went “why didn’t she tell us” is because he was really worried he’d been using the wrong pronouns and bothering Jay. And then. She follows up with the bigender thing. Which I’m pretty sure he didn’t tell the ninja about either.

Which is definitely such a them thing to do. Like that would happen you can’t convince me otherwise at this point.

I’ve never personally been a genderfluid Jay headcanoner but some part of me still thinks about this.

[saline-coelacanth]

So a little note about Leo's character that I wanna talk about is the fact that before becoming a ninja, he had a very normal life. He doesn't really have major drama with his parents and they're both alive and well. He never really had anything majorly traumatic happen to him, he just grew up as a normal kid. Sure, he grew up in Ninjago so there were a few disasters that he knew about, but for the most part his knowledge on the ninja is very limited simply because he was never too interested in them. The only thing that could be considered "not normal" about Leo was the fact that he was extremely good at art.

So then we cut to the merge happening, and yeah things are a bit weird and different now, but after some adjustments, Leo's life is still about the same. He still has his family, he still has his art, it's just now there's frog people, snail people, and other new species walking around. There's also the fact that Leo's been able to move paint across a canvas without using a brush or anything, but that's probably normal, too, right?

But then suddenly one day, the ninja show up nearby to fight off some crook, and one of them notices Leo. He notices how Leo is able to manipulate the colors on the canvas and says something like "this seems like an elemental power". Leo denies this, saying all artists get to this point eventually after enough practice, but this green ninja insists that it's an elemental power. So he offers to train Leo, saying that powers like that could be used for the greater good, and Leo doesn't really know how to say no. So even though he's not too fond of the idea of training to be a ninja, he goes with it anyway.

So he trains with the ninja, he learns the basics on how to fight, but he still can't get a solid grasp on his powers. And even then, being the Elemental Master of Color doesn't sound too useful in a combat scenario. But he keeps at it because the ninja seem optimistic and if Leo really does have these powers, then yeah he should probably be using them for good.

And then the entire world gets in danger. Leo is thrust into a world-ending level threat with the wolf warriors and Lord Ras wanting to bring back some ancient evil that would definitely cause major problems for the merged realms. He sees the ninja getting easily defeated by these wolf warriors, he sees Lloyd having full on panic attacks, and Leo quickly realizes that he is in WAY over his head. He doesn't want to help save the world, he's nowhere near strong enough to do that. But he still doesn't have it in him to say "No, I can't handle this." He keeps going because that's what everyone else wants him to do.

And yeah, things are relatively fine in the end. He's still alive at least, but Kai got sacrificed and as far as Leo knows, he's as good as dead. But the other ninja seem so... calm about it. Definitely sad and upset, but also like they've been through this before. And that just makes Leo even more terrified, because how common is it for the ninja to witness disaster after disaster? What has he gotten himself into?

So yeah, Leo's whole character is based on the fact that he has had a normal life his entire life, and now he's suddenly been thrown into the main story, which he was NOT prepared for. And a lot of his story does focus on him learning how to be more brave and learning to trust his own abilities because he CAN be a good ninja and a great hero, even if he thinks he's not cut out for it. And yeah, I mainly just wanted to ramble about Leo because I like him a lot and people seem to like him as well.

Sorry I asked the wrong blog (lol), but is it alright to ask a snippet from the conduit pls?

haha no worries! and yes, ofc!

“Lloyd,” the older Ninja groaned. “Do you have to take so long?” Lloyd startled, the action almost spilling his tea. “Wha—huh?” He glanced back at the TV, then his brothers. “Oh. Sorry.” The kettle returned to its resting place and he backed away. Zane placed a steady hand on his shoulder, and he flinched again. Kai was standing too. How had he spaced out so badly that he hadn’t even realized?
