#ninjago first realm

[greendest1ny]

the only thing that i don't like about the merge is how the first realm/the realm of oni and dragons must've lost it's sick ass black sun. shit was so cool.

[user-without-a-cool-acronym]

and once more i bring you spoilers

wait, are they in the (former) first realm?

[toastingpencils37]

Is the beginning of the realms tied to the first realm?

Probably, as it is the first realm, and it holds dragons, which are entities of creation.

And if the Source Dragons are from there or created it as well, that gives further evidence of the beginning of the realms being tied to the first realm.

Morro and Garmadon are both in the Departed realm, why haven’t we used this information as stupidly as we could.

Part 2

Morro: so…Your son-

Garmadon: one more word, and I will break my vow of peace.

Morro:

Morro: he kinda stunk.

Garmadon: *swings*

Garmadon: Isn’t it funny, how at one point in time, you thought you were destined to be the guy to defeat me?

Morro: *laying face down on the ground after losing another sparring match, is tempted to blast Garmadon*

Garmadon: hilarious, isn’t it? Ninjago would’ve been very protected.

Garmadon: *is trying to teach Morro about accepting change* change is nothing to be afraid of. Sure, it can be shocking, like the first time i grew four arms, but-

Morro: what.

Garmadon: it doesn’t-…yes?

Morro: say that part again.

Garmadon: change is nothing to be afraid of?

Morro: No, the other thing.

Garmadon:…it can be shocking?-

Morro: No. The other other thing.

Garmadon: Oh, you mean when i said Wu was you’re-

Morro: NO- the OTHER OTHER OTHER, thing!

Garmadon: when i had four arms?

Morro: YES! What do you MEAN you had four arms???

Garmadon: exactly what it implies, i had four arms.

Morro:

Morro: does that mean you technically classify as an insect

Garmadon: What.

Morro: did you know-

Garmadon: Morro, I am thousands of years old. Whatever you try to tell me, I probably already know of.

Morro: oh.

Morro: damn, i guess i didn’t need to tell you Lloyd died and visited your dad.

Garmadon: WHAT-

Morro: oh yeah, you must already know that the water ninja became water too, right?

Garmadon: What do you even MEAN BY THAT-

Morro: and that Wu apparently just died too, huh?

Garmadon: HE DID WHAT

Morro: he did death, apparently.

Garmadon: for today’s session, I was hoping to discuss some past traumas with you.

Morro: no. I don’t have trauma.

Garmadon: Morro, everyone has trauma.

Morro: well, I don’t.

Garmadon: Child, just because you call your past experiences ‘character development’ does not mean they weren’t traumas.

Morro: hey, old man.

Garmadon:

Morro: heyyy, you four armed loser.

Garmadon:

Morro: Garmadon! Stop ignoring me dammit!

Garmadon:

Morro: ugh- you- SENSEI!

Garmadon:

Morro: oh for the love of- I am NOT calling you… That.

Garmadon: *turns away*

Morro: dammit-it’s important!

Garmadon: *begins to walk away*

Morro: oh, you- you petty old man- UNCLE.

Garmadon: *turns around with a smile* yes?

Morro: I hope you get resurrected and die again.

A good half of these are rlly bad but i found it fun so let me off this once 😭

Anyways, they have a love hate relationship with the hate coming from Morro, the care coming from Garmadon, who tbh just wants to uncle Wu’s kid the same way Wu did his own (after managing his own annoyance at Morro after what happened)

Garmadon likes bullying Morro, Morro likes mocking Garmadon. Thats their relationship.

Somehow I got fixated on the dragonians from the dr s3 leaks and yea

Me when new first realm lore

[absolutelynotsanebaby]

A bit crunchy because I transferred them over from paper but some First Realm and Ms Departed sketches ^^

(They/them pronouns for both)

[nyaskitten]

One the One Hand I think all the designs of Wu, FSM, and Lloyd with non-human features (big chompers, claws, horns, tails, etc) are Extremely cool I love them keep up the good work gang, on the Other I think it's really funny to draw them all as Just Some Guy and then Garmadon is just there, the Least human .

[figs-oliomedley]

“When the name of Time was still new” 🔥🔥🔥

Season 9 First Realm arc but little Wu spends the entire time wondering why they need the Dragon Armor to control Firstbourne when he could just ask her - his grandma - to take them all back to Ninjago.

[agenericplaceholdername]

Funny detail about Hunted: Lloyd realizes that Mystake is an Oni because she can shapeshift, but the shapeshifting abilities of the Oni are first mentioned by Iron Baron and no one in the Ninjago City/Resistance plotline talks about how Oni can shapeshift until Lloyd suddenly knows it.

[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?

[toastingpencils37]

An interesting thing about Traveler's Tea is that in the Seasons except SOG, the user's typically use it as tea, rather than leaves.

So obviously it isn't a tea where it must be in tea form to be used.

But we generally see it used in tea form, and only in leaf form when the users are scared and thinking they're about to die. And when they use it in leaf form they end up in a random place because one of the users was thinking about a story regarding it.

Possibly meaning that using Traveler's Tea in its tea form is easier and more stable to use, resulting in less issues with the intended destination.

Wu's Diary 1: The First Realm, the Oni, the Dragon, and Ninjago

An excerpt from Master Wu's diary:

Date: XX/XX/XXXX

From all the centuries I had this collection of diaries, it never had gone trough my head going over some of them to review some important information. Only now, after experiencing so much horrible things, the truth has come to me. Sometimes the solution we look for is in the past, as such as the answers for difficult questions we have. I found some interesting bits on the earlier ones:

"Along all the Sixteen Realms, the ones my father never talks too much about with me and Garmadon are the Departed Realm, which I guess makes sense, you would have to be dead to know how things are by that side. The only thing I know is that it's almost impossible to bring the ones who are truly dead back without making several consequences to their semi-lifes; the Never- Realm, which he says it's a really dire place to be, and his old home: The First Realm.

According to him, the Dragons and Oni were born probably at the same time. The Dragons had control over almost any element imaginable. The Oni had a similar kind of control, but the only thing they could do with it was destroy and bring perish, nothing more. My father said he was a product of this two polarized species, who naturally had some sense of rivalry.

The Dragons, being beings of light and creation, were given the ability to travel to any Realm they desired. The Oni, being the complete oposite, were damned to be on their home-realm, unable to bring darkness to other places. My father, as a newborn from both sides, had not the ability of travel. That didn't stopped him on finding ways to make way to other Realms, though.

After deciding that he didn't wanted to choose any side of his bloodlines, my father fled from his home, trying to find a new place where he could belong to. I guess Ninjago became the home he was looking for. At first a void land with nothing on it, my father used the powers he inherited and the allies he made at home to create the Golden Peaks, the place where he would soon create the legendary Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. Using them, he made Ninjago look what it looks now, and what a beautiful land he made, I must say.

Sometimes me and Garmadon discuss what would we have done if we were at our father's position. The discussion always turns into a argument about how the Dragons are way much cooler than the Oni and how much of them we would destroy. Garmadon thinks he would beat more than me, and sometimes I think he can be right... Of course, I won't be telling him that."

Wu's Diary will be a bit of Lore exploration I will do involving some more obscure points of my AU, such as the Golden Weapons, Elemental Masters and more. All of this will be addreased in the future chapters, but I think it's better to pass some about some more complicated things, especially the ones that Wu doesn't share with the Ninja. Thanks for reading 😊🫶🏼

Cole being the kinda guy to absolutely hate something only to later be obsessed is so real.

Cole and his love for dragons COME BACK TO MEEEEE

If the writers remembered Cole’s love for dragons they would’ve made him squeal after learning that not only is his teammate quarter dragons, but that his sensei and his long term enemy are part dragon.

Imagine Cole cornering Wu in his meditation room to interrogate him about Dragons. Imagine how he could’ve been internally squealing after going to the first realm, he was surrounded, by dragons.
