Cringetober 2024 Day 13: Rule 63 (genderbend)

starting off WITH LIL GIRL LLOYD

[neteyammeowmeow]

The second part… The AUs…

part 2/?? overall, but part 1/2 for my (kind of) drawn aus!! (might be edited later but my ipad is soo laggy)

This was a concept from my storybook au, where I literally destroyed the canon world and rewrote everything so it could be a more simplistic story. Benthomaar is a little prince from the oceans, who uses his trident with a fallen star to guide the sea animals of the sea so they won’t be lost in the depths, he is as blue as the ocean, and depicted to stand on the biggest whale shark of the waters. While Lloyd is a young spirit who dwells far away up in the mountains, depicted as a boy riding on a magnificent, grand green dragon, and the robes that Lloyd wears seems to fade into the dragon’s mane.

However, one day, Benthomaar lost his trident, and without light, the sea animals were sent into chaos. Their distraught caused massive waves that threatened the land — which caught Lloyd’s attention, of course, as the guardian of Life and Energy, he was bound to raise concern. Especially after his sister Nya, told him that not even she could ease the animals.

Lloyd helped Benthomaar find his trident back, but the light had drowned, it couldn’t be destroyed. What was the worth of something useless? Lloyd felt sympathy for Benthomaar, it wasn’t long before the sea will crash onto the dirt, but Benthomaar believed that it was the memory and experience that mattered. The trident may be gone, the light vanished, but it was the effort they went through to traverse the endless waters to find it — that was what mattered. With the power of life, and Benthomaar’s determination, a new light engulfed the world so bright, and a star was laid within the trident as before, bringing hope and guidance to the seas again. Theeee Endddd!!! (btw all characters are kids in this au!!)

🐳🐳

This was supposed to be a more sapphic au, but then it ended up being an overall romcom sitcom au that is entirely divergent from the canon universe that the characters could be considered ocs (not enough to be though…) and the cast is all “genderswapped” ?? But that’s not really the right term for it, I guess the fem - appearing characters seem more masculine, and vice versa ?? Anyways. Lloyd is called Lihua, and Benthomaar is Benthesikyme, they live together, Lihua runs a flower shop on the lowest floor of their shared home, while Benthesikyme is a rising surfer athlete — annd it turns out all the characters are either reincarnations or immortals deciding to live beside the mortals.

I could’ve never settled on an actual design so everything was all experiments…

I’m ending the year with a compilation of some of the Lloyds and Benthomaars I drew this year (and never posted on Tumblr). I didn’t really draw much this year compared to the last or yesteryear but, this year I had more ideas than the capacity to draw. Anyways, I am definitely also explaining some illustrations to fill in the content if there r any… And THIS is the next one (there will be a followup to this)

HELLO I keep seeing like, gender-bent ninja go Fanart, which is great but I would like to announce something Kai is a gender neutral name Jay is a Gender neutral name Zane is a gender neutral name Lloyd is a gender neutral name

Hell if you wanna push it, so are Cole and Nya You don't need to change their names, I have no issue with changing their names but like- you don't need to

[piereoglyphics]

Genderbent names and hairstyles for Ninjago?

(keep in mind the images are just for the hairstyle, they dont dictate what ethnicity i may or may not headcanon the characters as)

Morro-- I feel like his name would be Fumika (It means wind in japanese!) And I feel like he'd rock a half up bun.

Kai's name would be Alicia-- for no particular reason. I think it just fits him. For his hairstyle it'd be jellyfish :]

Nya would be Ryo! it has a bunch of different meanings actually, one of which being dragon. Her hairstyle would also be a bun!!

Lloyd(Maybe his name would be Saina?) would keep his hair short I feel like. People say they dont like his avatar skin but I think its lovely and he would rock a mohawk.

Zane would probably have an afro imo!!!! His name would be Yuri(as a girl name) or Aspen(Non binary name)

Jay is difficult... His name could be Sofia or Samantha. An S of some sort. He'd have the LONGEST .. CURLIEST hair ever.

Cole would be Crystal. (Could be enby or womans name) Deadlocks for days :] he'd definetly have jewelry in there too. His dad would disagree with the style just because it would slap his face if he twirled....

TYSM for asking!!!! 💥💥

I feel like most attempts at a Ninjago cast genderbend fail because people immediately turn to sexualization instead of actually thinking about what would change if the cast were presented as the gender opposite their canon one. Genderbending is never treated as a thought experiment and I think that's a real shame. Because for the original main cast, a LOT would change! Early seasons were riddled with misogyny and that would strongly affect how they interact with the world! And then you also have to think about how large of a scope you're working with. Are you just bending the main cast? Or the entire world? How do the politics change if Ninjago's god and important figures are all female? Do they change at all? That's for you to figure out!
