Continuing Ninjargon translations, now on DR S1E2

The painting to the left of Arin:

Ninja never quit

I was actually expecting this to be the same as the "Control Time Control everything" reference thing in the flashback, but I guess not.

The sails:

Sail

It is mirrored (I'm guessing because of the sail it's on), but it literally just says "Sail". Which is different from the sails on the set, which translate to "Wind".

The flags at the back:

Fortune

It's also mirrored, but since it's read vertically rather than horizontally, it's not quite so bad. This translation is also different than the one on the set, which just says "Ninja".

Honestly, I prefer the show translation for it. Both because 1) fortune/destiny somewhat seem to just be on the ninja's side (heavy on the somewhat. At least they generally win their battles). And 2) fortune is going to send that Bounty down pretty fucking quick because it's a hater

Now here's what I thought I was looking at earlier

Painting to the left of Lloyd:

ontrol time control everything

The thing, that plus Rapton's figure, made everyone think at least one of the Time Twins are returning.

Though I'm not sure if the first "C" is actually missing, or if we just can't see it due to the angle of the camera.

There was a lot less Ninjargon this episode, mostly due to the fact that it was mainly just in the Monastery, on the Bounty, or in the Land of Three Mountains, which of course won't have any Ninjargon.

I have a weird obsession with drawing backgrounds lol

The Monastery - Ninjago

Last saturday I ended up spending the next 12 hours on sims making a recreation of the ninjago monastery and it's like, day 3 of the build and ohhhhhhhhhhh LORD i wanna scream lol this is so much harder than i thought

[the-ninjago-historian]

This is great!👀 What a cool thing! I wonder how big it really is!

Doc's explanation for the whole Monastery size inconsistency! I love the idea of some of it going further into the mountain...

[vilecreampuffs]

since you guys liked the clip of the obscure ass ninjago netflix collab, I will proudly take the honor to reveal the entire video to you all. (In HD of course.)

I know it seems very obvious I would also like to point out that in this collab they aren't even in the same monastery. like. what universe are we in. Like why have we as NINJAGO fans been so desensitized to this. (<- I WAS JOKING YALL 😭)

[irodimww]

I am definitely not planning something (smiles nonsuspiciously)

anyway NO ONE SPECIFIED WHO WU’S STUDENTS WERE IN MORRO’S PAST SO I THOUGHT “yo what if I gave them names and height differences and a lil bit a small background ueueue”

CURSE THE MONASTERY, GET PIXELATED!

Pixel brush came handy😝also please 🥺 don't make me do more monastery it's tiring

Posted artwork early as I am moving

[toastingpencils37]

So either in the past day the kiddos got a ton of shurikens stuck in the wall (more likely Arin because we see him with them more often) or those shurikens have just been chilling there for a few years prior to Arin and Sora's arrival to the Monastery

Thinking about the inflatable Dareth autopilot thing again and like what if it becomes a tradition. Every time the bounty is destroyed and rebuilt or repaired after damage, they always make sure there’s a blow up Dareth for the autopilot. There is a stash of spare Dareths in the workshop under the monastery. In DR when Sora is making repairs to the bounty she tests the autopilot to make sure it’s in working order and she sees an inflatable doll with the likeness of Some Guy on it and she’s like what the fuck

[bloodwineenthusiast]

Update: finished the painting of Garmadon's monastery. It's not amazing but it's certainly there.

Spent all night working on it, only to see at the end that I messed lol. Adding the dragon head and stream is more of a reference to the set, though I was planning on exclusively drawing Yin Yang (reference to the game), so I'll have to draw a new concept 😭

And… I'm still thinking about some elements of the monastery roof etc., it's important to convey the abandoned look that's missing here, so that's definitely not the end result.
