GUYS OMG MY KEYCHAINS ARE HERE!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO BRING YOU ALL MY BLORBOS IN KEYCHAIN FORM!!!

I know they were supposed to be double sided, but I’ve decided that in the future I might fix them and make it double sided, but for now, I’m going to sell them as separate keychains. Also the Cole samples are coming, they just are gonna be late so definitely keep an eye out for the link to buy!

The pictures DO NOT DO THEM JUSTICE!! When the light captures them, they sparkle like crazy and turn blue or orange. The Cole one will be slightly different, I’ve made them just a simple epoxy.

Edit: Just realized not all of my keychain posts have the price on here. For one keychain it’s ten dollars (not including the shipping) Once you order from the form I will calculate your shipping and it add it the total when I send you the order confirmation! Thanks

Nya and Wu are the best, everyone else is the same to me

You know what fuck you *headcanons your ninja finances*

Kai

- usually deal with all the finances because he’s the most knowledgeable (and willing) to do it.

- he usually calculates how much the ninjas allowance is every two weeks and checks it off with wu to make sure everything looks good

- he also deals with money used for things like grocery’s, new supplies, etc in what they call the team fund

- typically if the ninja need something that benefits everyone (or don’t want to pay with their own money) they ask Kai and wu if they can use the team fund money instead.

- the ninja mostly get their finances through donations, merchandising, and awards from the city. Although it’s not much most shops in ninjago also give them custom discounts in order to thank them for protecting the city.

- Kai himself just usually saves up his allowance money. He never really developed out of his habit for saving.

- occasionally he would use his money to get the other gifts or to buy something he’s particularly interested. Like books or swords

Jay

- either always gambles away his money or spends it all right away getting new games, comics, or snacks.

- will pay ridiculous amount of money for merchandise if his current favorite show or media

- always begs Kai for more money or try to convince him to use the team fund to buy stupid shit

- never works lol

Nya

- uses most of her money to get supplies for her own side projects

- on the rare occasion jay will convince her to buy a new shirt

- frequent customer of Home Depot and Micheal’s

- she hates shopping in large mall complexes or stores because they would kick up her perfume allergies

Zane

- typically spends his money going to museums or zoos so he can look at birds

- he also donates most of his money to these places

- he also buys a lot of supplies and books about birds

- if you can’t tell he likes birds

- he doesn’t need to spend his own money on food or cooking supplies because the team fund usually covers that for him

- but he still likes to go to fancy restaurants in order to judge the food there lol

Cole

- one of the few ninja that has his own money stream because he does art commissions online

- Kai doesn’t question it as long as it means cole has his own money he doesn’t need to worry about

- spends his money on art supplies

- firm believer he’s a furry you cannot take this from me

- as a result also spends his money on fur suits, commissions, and going to cons

- also spends money trying to tend to his own plants he has

Lloyd

- lots, and lots of candy

- mostly spends his money on fast/junk food

- will occasionally buy himself a toy he wanted as a kid and now that he’s an adult with his own money he can get it himself

- likes to go to target a lot but not to buy anything just walk around and look at stuff before leaving

- if you tried to explain the concept of a credit card to him he would look at you like a kicked puppy

- also buys comics, although he’s not that interested in merch

- will sometimes buy plushies of himself

- anything else he has he usually donates

Wu

- if you took him to a grocery store I firmly believe he would take one look of those giant statues made by soda boxes and leave

- usually donates to museums

- very grateful that Kai is helping him with everything

- wu usually took care of the finances for a bit but after his tea shop and seeing how excited Kai was to run a shop with him (and recognizing Kai probably knows more then him) he let Kai take control

- of course everything still has to be approved by him so Kai isn’t abusing his power

Guys guess who got invested into the incredibly niche Ninjago merchandising of Trading Cards and is now sorting them anew because I didn’t like the way the numbers sort them

[grilledcheese-savage]

Hi everyone! From now through the end of the year, 100% of my shop profits will be donated to Islamic Relief USA to provide aid in Palestine. I still have a lot of Ninjago stock left, as well as some original prints, so please take a look!

ID: A graphic with text over assorted photos of merchandise. The text reads: Now through January 1, 100% of shop profits will be donated to Islamic Relief USA to provide humanitarian aid to those impacted by the ongoing violence and genocide enacted against the Palestinian people. End ID.

Ninjago 2023 Fandom Survey: Seasons

Welcome, welcome, to the Ninjago Fandom's 2023 fan survey! Originally I was going to make one giant mega-post for all the results, but 1) that would not be feasible with Tumblr's image limitations and 2) quite frankly would burn me out. Instead, I've opted to break down the results in separate posts and post them as I have the energy to :D

Without further ado, here is the breakdown of how Ninjago's eighteen* seasons rank!

*for the purposes of this survey, the Pilots will be referred to as Pilots, SotFS as Season 11 collectively, The Island as Season 14, Seabound as Season 15, and so on.

We begin with the votes and propaganda for favorite seasons, in chronological order.

Out of the first four entries to Ninjago's television catalog, Rise of the Snakes takes the lead for fan favorite!

Tournament of Elements and Possession both placed in the top five for season ranking, and thus they earn a little word cloud!

Fun fact: out of the 17 people who put Skybound as their favorite season, 12 of them also had Jay as a favorite ninja. Who'da thunk?

And now we get to the Wildbrain era! The zane fans are really starving for content huh (said as a SotFS enjoyer lmao)

And now we get the highest-placing season and the lowest side-by-side! The Cole stans were fed with this one :D

We wrap up with Dragons Rising! It looks like the new series is being taken well by fans, with its new characters, animation, and storytelling.

And here we have the full list of favorite seasons! Master of the Mountain came out on top with 14.7% of the votes, followed by Possession, SoG, ToE, and Hunted. At the bottom, we have The Island, Crystalizd, and Dragons Rising pt1.

If we look at the list of least-favorite seasons, some interesting observations start to show. Dragons Rising Part 1 is at the bottom of both lists, indicating to me that its lack of favoritism is less from being a bad season than just unremarkable. Clearly Hands of Time maintains its place as least-favorite overall, but it's interesting to me that the Island places higher than SotFs.

Lastly, we have a list of second-favorite seasons to wrap us up. Most of the Top 5 maintain relatively similar rankings, but Seabound makes a huge jump from 12th place to 5th here! Possession establishes her place as second-favorite easily, followed again by Tournament of Elements.

So there you have it! Do you agree with these rankings? Are you surprised by any? Were there any propaganda points that made you laugh out loud? I'd love to hear them! Apologies again for taking so long to get this out, but I think you all can see the scope of this project now :D If you'd like to see a full list of all the comments that just couldn't fit on the page, you can find them all here.

To wrap this up, what would you like to see the results of next?

Fandom Overlap

How much overlap is there between the Ben 10 and Ninjago fandoms as they are pretty similar? Both are action cartoons that are based around selling merchandise that can receive sequels and soft/hard reboots to keep it fresh. Because they are newer IPs, compared to TMNT, Transformers, SW etc, most fans are young adults and adolescents as opposed to 80s fanboys. While there are some neckbeards and conservative Christians, the fandoms are pretty LGBTQ positive and have little problem with queer/trans headcanons. While some people dislike the sequels or reboots, very few criticisms revolve around “forced diversity” or “Mary sue leads”, and we can have conversations about what we like and don’t like without starting a flame war and stay open minded about newer entries in the franchise. There are some Ninjago fans who still hate the post movie redesigns or even claim the show should have died at a certain point, but most reactions to the newer stuff like DR have been positive.

[ninjasmudge]

I once talked to a friend about this but here we go.

Lego animation has been suffocating itself with it past animation style for a long time,,, don’t get me wrong they have told and expressed beautiful stories like ninjago or Legends of Chima with it along with selling their merchandise but the Lego company’s past but this animation style has been slowly suffocating their stories to death. Thanks to the animation changes and comedy they did with LMK not only has the story and characters thrived but breathed new life into not only Lego but also journey to the west on top of it and put it on a trending list. But what did they do differently besides the animation and the comedy? In short they didn’t recycle human Lego designs, they allowed characters to have fingers and heads that weren’t recycled human Lego head pieces and even gave them tails and inhuman legs like the legs they gave to Azure Lion along with claws. If they did this change with Legends of Chima instead of it getting canceled by it’s crappy animation style it could have had as many seasons as Ninjago. Also if anyone who has power in the Lego Corporation see this,,, here is some wise advice, just because that old animation style worked with Ninjago doesn’t mean it will work universally with every idea you guys come up with,,, don’t believe me? Reanimate the Chima cartoon for one episode in a better and more detailed style and and give the animal characters more details along with a more fluid animation style,,, you can make more money and revive a nearly forgotten section of Lego in one swoop.

gotta admit that i watched all of ninjago because a dream advertised it to me, (never really got into the fandom,) and although the style has a certian charm that you get used to, its got NOTHING on something as well animated and visually distinct as lmk

it was a GREAT choice for the show, the first digital painting i ever did was bc the backgrounds of lmk were so good and i wanted to try

SLURP ; So I Finally Read 'Quest For Lost Powers' (Commentary Part 2; Kai's Lost Spark)

<< Part 1

Hello and welcome back to my commentary on Quest For Lost Powers. A book that exists because of Crystalized's incompetency.

If I'm doing homework, I'm making content out of that homework.

I already did commentary on the cover art and the prologue. Link is there if you want to see that.

We are starting this book's journey with the Fire Ninja's story.

It is a story about Kai being addicted to noodles, treating his girlfriend like garbage, and above all, whining about not having powers.

"Oh lord... Again? A f*****g gain? Nothing new, nothing changed, same old s**t. Same old f*****g s**t-"

Yeah I'm pretty sure we all think that.

GOOD FSM, DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE CHARACTER.

I could come up with stuff at the top of my head.

What about him trying to catch up with his parents?

What about his struggle in a healthy relationship where he doesn't need to look after someone 24/7?

His feelings about Jay as an in law?

His grief over losing his sister?

Him trying to step out of the big brother role?

Him trying to cling to his big brother role?

The forbidden scrolls corrupting him when he believes he needs it to succeed?

Him and Cole could make out-? THAT'S A JOKE.

I'm just saying. There's more compelling arcs you can give Kai.

But you know what? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised. Ever since the Wildbrain era, Kai has been done dirty.

Remember when Kai was one of the most beloved characters of the show? Me too. I miss those days.

Okay, let’s get started and see what he’s doing.

[“Look how many noodles I can slurp all at once!”]

[Sllllurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!]

Not even two paragraphs in, and we have onomatopoeia, italicized.

This is in kids books way too much.

And it drives me nuts. STOP DOING THIS.

I know it's purely pet peeve. But I don't care.

Also who actually slurps their spaghetti? My family doesn't do it, none of my friends do it. I've only seen it in cartoons. Because I guess spaghetti is supposed to be messy and it's funny to eat with an obnoxious sound effect?

[A few of the customers looked up from their meals to stare at Kai.]

See, even these guys agree with me. It's weird. This man is weird.

[“It looks like the same amount of noodles you slurped five minutes ago, Kai,” Skylor said, brushing a stray lock of dark red hair behind her ear.]

No eating the merchandise.

Also don't overeat like that. It's unhealthy.

Remember when Kai was an underaged alcoholic?

Screw you Skylor, now he's drunk on noodles. And it's your fault.

[“Don’t you have anything bet…trrr…I mean, something more important to do?”]

Like catch up with your sister? Who had been DEAD FOR A YEAR?!

[Kai wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his sweatshirt and frowned.]

And he's got bad table manners. That's how you know he's a jerk.

[“Um, no more Fire powers, remember? There’s nothing important for me to do anymore.”]

Oh here we go again. No powers = no purpose to this man. I swear.

We've been here before. And that wasn't even a good arc the first time.

And THAT time, he was TORTURED losing it against his consent. This time was by his own call. He has no one to blame but himself.

[Veteran reporter Gayle Gossip appeared on the screen, standing on a busy Ninjago City street.]

Her name is Gayle Gossip?

All this time and I never knew her name. Wow.

[“Crime in Ninjago City has been rising steadily, ever since word got out that the ninja have lost their Elemental Powers,” the reporter was saying. “I tried to contact the ninja for comment, but they’re not returning my calls. In this reporter’s opinion, they seem to have forgotten who they really are. Powers or not, ninja, Ninjago City needs you!”]

BRUH.

Okay that's just Kai's fault. He's CHOOSING to do nothing.

I can't see his point with that other than him being a jerk.

"There's nothing for me to do"

*There's a ton of crime calls going on*

That art looks great though. He actually looks depressed, holy gosh…

[“You haven’t returned her calls?”]

[“I haven’t charged my phone in days,” he said.]

😂

PEOPLE WISH.

PEOPLE WISH THEY WERE THAT UN-ADDICTED TO THEIR PHONES.

I take everything back, Kai, you are a king.

[“What’s the point? Without my Fire powers, I’ve lost my spark.”]

I fail to see how that translates to 'it's okay to run away from my responsibilities'.

I get it, you can get depressed when you lose something that's defined you and your abilities to support and see value in yourself for so long. You can lose your spark and feel lost.

But STILL. Does he really think it's okay to just not help at all?

Unless there are other people taking care of the city, then I'd see his point. But there's NO ONE ON THE CLOCK.

Not even the New Ninja? Where are they? They were SO IRRELEVANT to Crystalized that we haven't heard from them again. Did they die?

["You’re still as smart as you ever were, and brave."]

Since when was Kai EVER the smart one?

Short answer: He wasn't.

Kai has NEVER been a bright tool in the shed.

He even stated, his own words,

"But Zane, I'm the good looks of this team. You're the brains."

[“Ninjago City has an excellent police force,” Kai replied. “They don’t need me getting in their way.”]

😂

That's a joke. Right?

When has the police EVER been reliable? In ANY show?

Any show that isn't police-centric?

[“This isn’t like you, Kai. Didn’t you lose your Elemental Powers once before? You got them back in the Never-Realm, right? Just by digging deep inside yourself?”]

Oh.

We ARE addressing that.

First off, that's what you call a plot hole. Because that is NOT how Elementals work in this show.

Second, if we ARE going with the 'you just gotta believe' story, then is this supposed to tell me that Kai is depressed? That he's lost himself? That he's suffering lack of motivation and sense of identity?

Cause that does make sense.

That actually would be interesting of a story. It's not about the powers, it's about the identity. No one needs him anymore. Or at least, he FEELS like no one needs him anymore.

In the Never Realm, people needed him, and he was able to use his 'older brother mode' to cling to that purpose.

Who needs that now? Not Nya, she has a husband. Not Lloyd, he has a dad and a disgusting new friend who likes blood for face paint.

Not Skylor cause she can do everything you can do, and she can do it better.

Wow, I feel like I'm saying "Hate to break it to you Kai, but you ARE useless." That's so horrible for me to say. Now I feel bad. I actually feel bad for being snarky...

[He slurped down some more noodles to make his point.]

FSM.

You know what, every time this man slurps, I'm slurping. If I have to suffer the noise so do you.

SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP.

[“Skylor! The potstickers are less than puffy again!”]

Who says that?! That's like saying the cheese quesadilla has less cheese.

[“This conversation is not over.”]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH

THIS MAN'S IN TROUBLE.

Oh Kai, you messed up. That's what you get for slurping.

[Sluuuuuuuuuuuurp!]

AAAAAANNNNNNDD then he does it next paragraph.

SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP.

[“THE ROTTEN RABBITS ARE IN THE HOUSE!”]

FURRIES?!

There's FURRIES in this?!

Thanks, I hate it.

[He stood up and faced the robbers. “Why don’t you bad bunnies hop back to whatever greasy garden you came from?”]

Wait, so he DOES help?

Writers, either he's helping or he's not. Pick one.

Kai gets jumped by furries.

Not clickbait.

I’m shocked this isn’t a meme. And now I’m just gonna bully Kai for it.

Remember when Kai got jumped by furries?

[“He’s Kai, the Fi— I mean, Kai the Ninja!” one of the noodle customers yelled. The Rotten Rabbit eyed Kai. “A ninja? Really? He looks like a dude in a hoodie with noodle broth stains on it.”]

Wow, we are REALLY going hard on Kai have no purpose anymore.

In Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitsu, people were actually supportive, trying to help.

Here everyone's just mocking him.

You know what, I don't blame Kai anymore. They don't deserve your help. Ungrateful b*****ds.

[“Rotten Rabbits, Hop to it!” the main robber yelled. BAM!]

Kai, the ninja who helped save the world 17 times, who forged the Golden Weapons, who obliterated the ice dragon, who weld and smashed the staff of elements, who crossed realms and lands non stop to save his two siblings,

Got his butt kicked by FURRIES.

Oh Kai, I am so sorry my boy. They did you so dirty.

[Skylor emerged from the kitchen, and her eyes narrowed as she assessed the situation.]

But this is the fourth time Skylor has seen this today.

"Ugh, just a normal day in my noodle shop. You couldn't stop with SLURP."

[BAM!] [SLAM!] [CRASH!]

SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP.

Girl gives Spiderverse Aunt May vibes.

[Water dripped from his hair and clothes as he scooped up the flopping fish and put them back in the tank.]

Even the fish are more useful than Kai. They didn't die.

[“I couldn’t even take care of a bunch of low-level goons. It’s hopeless! Without my Fire powers, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.”] [Skylor stared at Kai with a worried frown.]

Skylor be like:

I don't know how much I'm gonna take him saying the same thing over and over again. Gonna be honest.

One minute I want to hug him, and the next minute I want to slap him.

[“In other news, villages on the outskirts of Ninjago are being terrorized by a gang of people known as Fire Fiends,” she said.]

Angry Kai stans who were upset about s11 and Crystalized.

[“These Fire Fiends—they worship a giant, flaming serpent!”]

OH.

How did I forget the Pyro Vipers existed? That was like such a big deal in those seasons.

[“Aspheera created Fire Fang after she stole my Elemental Powers,” Kai reminded her. “Fire Fang’s powers all come from me. All I have to do is find Fire Fang, and I can get my powers back!”]

Is this course correct for s11?

I don't like them doing the same arc again, but I do like the idea of giving Kai closure with this Serpentine species. Because in the show he... didn't. Zane robbed him.

Continued in Part 3>>
