#ninjago s16 spoilers

My favorite headcannon is that Lloyd really liked keeping plants until christofern came along. After that, they just cause him rage.

[dragonnnerdd]

I need to draw the ninja in their Rising Dragon technique form things and their dragon forms in Crystalized

[emerald-cloud23]

I genuinely enjoyed Crystalized. It was fun, there were references to old things that I loved seeing/hearing and I think it's good.

The only things I don't like about it is that Harumi was brought back, specifically that she was brought back to be like "do I have feelings for Lloyd or do I not? Oh well, time to serve the evilest being ever to help him destroy Lloyd!". When I watched s8 for the first time I didn't expect her to be the villain, she was written so well that I was a little surprised when she was revealed to be the villain. Then came s9 which.. also had her written well enough but I got seriously uncomfortable with her when she asked Garmadon to adopt her so he could forget about Lloyd. It still makes me uneasy to watch and I usually just skip that scene. And then she gets so scared of dying that she runs away from Garmadon until she sees a family in the same situation she was in many years ago. It takes her this long to see that what she's doing is just creating more people like her so she helps one (1) family to try and redeem herself before the building collapses and she dies. Heck, I wouldn't have been mad if they had brought her back to help the Overlord/Crystal King OR if she had been brought back to help the ninja. Not both. Not this "despite me manipulating and hating Lloyd I loved him so now I'll help someone destroy him" crap. And then that sudden switching sides in the final battle? Unnecessary. Just let her be evil and help the evil OR let her be good if you want to bring her back from the dead so badly. Both doesn't work and it ruins Lloyd in certain moments as well.

I wouldn't have multiple tags that mention her blocked so I can't see content of her if she hadn't been used by the plot like that. I just really don't like her after Crystalized. Before she was fine, even if that scene in s9 makes me uncomfortable.

But other than that, I enjoyed the season. Even that 'original ending' where Lloyd would've become the bad guy after defeating the Overlord/Crystal King? I would have loved to see that too (I do still like the ending we got, the only thing I dislike about it is once again Harumi).

Took him over a decade to finally loose his shit

[gravyhoney]

I like to think The New Ninja (from crystallized) don’t even know each other’s identities. One of them just like, idk, put an ad up on Craigslist like ‘meet me at this spot dressed in ur bestest ninja gear if u wanna be cool and sexy and also a ninja’

So it’s like.

A group of wildly different people who all don’t know each other.

I’m taking them I think.

Making them my ocs. /hj

[isneezealot]

Guess what~☆☆

Hey guys! Here with a fic recommendation. There's this really good next gen work called "Dragons Rising". It's essentially an apocalypse AU that centers on two honestly really cool OCs as they train under Lloyd. All the ninja are seperated, but they do come back into the plot one by one. It's a slow burn, but it just makes each reappearance that much more meaningful! You can tell the author is a big RGB fan for sure, so if you're into that, definitely check this one out. This fic does a great job of diving into the lore of the different realms and has some really cool mysteries going on in the background. The description says it's going to have 20 chapters, but there are only 10 out right now, and the latest authors update says the next chapters probably won't be posted for a while, but I still think it's really worth checking out!

[riagraie]

Ninjago AU Headcannons

so obviously, this includes OC content. if you don't like OCs, don't read that part/ignore other hc ig?

anyway, this is for my AU of Ninjago, Echoes of the Echoed. The timeline is set to be between Crystalized (s16) and Dragons Rising Season 1. So there shouldn't be any spoilers?

this is just a bunch of random hcs I have for the ninja (and Hanna) in my AU. some of these are adapted from other people, some of them are mine.

Kai

he has naturally straight hair so he uses curlers to put wave in it. by curlers, i mean the ones your grandma uses overnight. he also sleeps in a bonnet

bro wears eyeliner. not a lot, but when asked he will admit to it.

he knows how to cook a meal and is probably the best chef (minus Zane bc Zane is goated) but doesn't like to cook

he is terrified of bugs. any kind of bug, it doesn't matter. he doesn't want to look at them, he doesn't want to be near him, and if he was alone in the monastery and found a spider, the entire thing would be up in flames.

when he gets spooked, sometimes fire will shoot out of his shoulders.

when someone on the team is upset or struggling with smth, he forces them to do self care nights with him

he paints his nails black or red

he's an insomniac, has been since his parents left. it got better around s11 but still struggles with it. when he can't sleep he likes to do blacksmithing. nya and pixal set up a station in the X Cave for him to do it quietly.

Jay

adhd, adhd, adhd, adhd, adhd, adhd-

he doesn't know what his biological mother looks like and he likes to try and imagine it.

the reason his hair curled after s7 is bc of puberty. some people's hair gets curly :/

when he uses his powers his spine will glow blue and have offshoots of the same color that look like lightning. it's sick af

he always carries his yin medallion with him. he might be wearing it, he may be holding it, it may be chillin in his pocket, but it's always on him.

after the events of s15 and then after s16, jay brags about how easy it was for him to grow a beard. it pisses lloyd off.

the eye that he hurt in Skybound(s6) is ever so slightly a lighter shade of blue than his other eye. sometimes it still hurts him and on those days it looks bloodshot and he wears an eye patch.

his favorite kind of art is watercolors.

he's got a wicked spice tollerance

Cole

he forced Zane to teach him how to cook basic things. but, he is a very skilled baker naturally

he's great with kids bc he lets them swing off his arms like monkey bars

cole is black and bc his dad never did, kai taught him how to take care of his hair.

he likes having long hair bc it covers his scar from when he was a ghost.

right after becoming human again, he kept forgetting he wasn't a ghost and kept running into walls and doors

he has seriously considered becoming a streamer

cole is terrified of singing because his mother used to sing him to sleep.

Zane

sometimes he feels what pixal is feeling bc they share a heart

even after nya came back in s16, zane didn't turn on his emotions again until nya convinced him too. he then cried for three hours straight.

he will laugh without hesitation at a dad joke. he will also crack up as he's trying to tell a dad joke

he still has pictures lloyd drew him in s1 until childs play.

he's easily annoyed by people who break traffic laws.

he rarely swears, but swore more when he was pretending to be a pirate in s15.

after figuring out him roleplaying a detective in s12 annoyed Pixal, he downloads and roleplays things for other missions they are on together. like the pirate thing in s15.

he lets kai paint his nails

Nya

unlike kai, her hair is naturally wavy and she used to straighten it from the pilot-s7. then she kinda gave up.

she decided to grow out her hair bc she wanted to look more like her mother, but then hated having hair against her neck all the time and started putting it up.

she can bench press jay and she has a sleeper build

she gets pissed when she sees someone in the arcade getting close to her and jay's high score on the dance machine

she's a light sleeper

she's terrified of snakes

when she's upset about something, she will either beat the shit out of the training equipment (then proceed to fix in in a huff) or just build random things

she's seriously considered building jay a robot dog. but she never went through with it

Lloyd

when he's really happy, sleeping, or meditating, he purrs.

he's got freckles that look like diamonds bc of the dragon scale thing

hes got fangs, his ears are pointed, and when he's pissed or enamored by something his eyes turn red. naturally, his pupils are a bit pointer, aren't as round basically

lloyd knew about his oni form before the events of s16 but never told anyone. he's known about it since s9 when he had a nightmare and woke up to see himself half-shifted in the mirror. he asked mistake about it, she explained, he asked her to not tell anyone, and she didn't. neither did he.

he likes mints because he likes hard candies better, gives him something to fidget with

he's always bustling with energy bc of his element. he can't sit still for the life of him.

he can still control the individual elements of creation as well as water and wind. he found out he could control wind after s5 and he could control water after s15.

when he uses his powers, his eyes glow whatever color they are (red or green) for up to an hour afterwards.

he has super hearing and super smell. he can also partially see in the dark if theres just a little bit of light

he hates ants

he has consistent nightmares. nearly every night. unlike the visions in DR, he doesn't flail for his nightmares, just jolts awake.

he loves photography and has many professional grade cameras. he likes it because he gets to hold memories.

when he's upset at someone, he unconsciously switches to yelling at them in Oni language.

he can understand and read the Harmonizer language but can't speak or write it.

Hanna

she's filthy rich. her parents own a very successful real estate business and a shipping company

she doesn't talk to her parents and doesn't like talking about them

she has an accent bc of being part Harmonizer but she hides it bc it led to a lot of people not understanding her. the closest thing it sounds like irl is a Russian accent.

she sometimes talks in the Harmonizer language, especially if she's frustrated or sleeping.

she can understand and read the Oni language.

after shifting to full harmonizer the first time, the black and gold lines on her skin became visible when human if your close enough to see them

she requires no form of skin care but still joins kai for skin care nights.

she has bad periods and struggles with migraines bc of her powers

she could feel something was off before the crystal king formed in s16. she has a scar on her knuckle from where she punched harumi in the face

she loves sports bikes. she liked going fast and breaking traffic laws. but, safety is her top priority even for herself and never goes out without making sure her and any backpacks are in full gear.

after s15, she had a lot of anxiety attacks

she knew about Lloyd's oni form bc she accidentally walked in on him one day he struggled to mask it.

she is also really good with kids

she heals pretty quickly bc of being part harmonizer, and because of that, most of the wounds she gets scars over.

she hates being in the spotlight

so thats them, let me know what you think. should I do more hcs? let me know ab that too. uhh

hope you enjoyed :D

[stormtheartistsstuff]

I FINALLY got to watch the latest season of Dragons Rising and I have a theory about who Ras’ master is, so for anyone who hasn’t caught up on Ninjago please keep scrolling because this is gonna have a lot of spoilers:

I believe there is a chance that Ras’ master may be the First Dragon, due to the similarities between his and Lloyd’s visions among other reasons.

To get this out of the way, I am not referring to Firstbourne. I am aware she is technically the “mother of all dragons”, but I believe her namesake gives it away that she may not be the very FIRST dragon. She is the first dragon BORN, perhaps not the first in existence.

Besides, do you really think the most powerful dragon in all of the worlds, the one supposed to be as powerful as the Overlord, would be defeated so easily by a small group of Oni, with other dragons AND riders on her side?

I mean THE Dragon, the one depicted in Mistake’s story. The antithesis of the Overlord. The Yang to his Yin. The Creation to his Destruction.

This sounds a bit far fetched, I am aware, but I do have a base for this theory.

In Mistake’s story, the Dragon was also fighting over the First Spinjitsu Master, just like the Overlord was. What is interesting to me is that the FSM chose to run from both instead of choosing the Dragon, despite the dragons always being depicted as “the good guys” and the Oni as “the bad guys.”

This means that the dragon most likely didn’t want to use him for the right reasons either, maybe even to eliminate the Overlord and overturn the balance of the world in its favor. The FSM is the balance, and he most likely knew that siding with one or the other would be disastrous.

The Dragon also has not been seen for the entirety of the series, despite the fact that the Overlord had been rampaging in Ninjago over and over. It isn’t like they could not come to stop him, we knew from the very beginning that dragons can traverse realms (I know this is probably because the dragon hadn’t been introduced in the plot yet, let me dream). Perhaps the Dragon had been sealed away by the FSM, not unlike the Overlord was when the FSM split Ninjago in two to keep him at bay.

It would explain the Dragons absence throughout the years.

Now, onto Ras.

He receives visions in a very similar way to Lloyd, almost to a T with the floating and glowing eyes, but with a GOLDEN background, which not even the Sources have, despite their connection to creation.

As for the “evil” masks, remember that the Forbidden Five that his master wanted to bring back are ELEMENTAL MASTERS, people who have been commonly paired with the dragons throughout history, as seen by the ninja themselves. Despite the corruption of their powers, it isn’t Destruction: it is simply warped Spinjitsu, corrupted Creation.

Perhaps the dragon needs the Sources to regain its strength, or hell, its powers were divided to CREATED the Source dragons, each one acting as a seal to keep it at bay. This is may be why they want to conquer the Sources, to free the First Dragon.

Another detail I have noticed, this might be a bit of a stretch but tigers and dragons tend to be a motif I have seen in mythology a lot, it would make sense for it to occur at least once in the show.

To wrap it all up, Creation can be used for evil and Destruction can be used for good. They are not black and white, but shades of grey. We have seen this in the show itself, for example, Gardamon in s2 with the Megaweapon for evil, a weapon that can only create:

And in s16 when Lloyd used his destruction to fight the Overlord for good (and in the original ending before it was changed, kill him):

Creation and Destruction have no morality, and no one shows this better than the FSM himself:

The First Spinjitsu Master chose neither Oni nor Dragon for a reason. Light can be just as blinding as the Dark.

[puff-hugs]

Yeah I'm doing this,

My reasoning is if Wyldfyre, then Eka

my favorite thing about dragons rising (the new ninjago series) is watching literally everyone with an oc who's the em of wind panic cus of the new character

[namelysane]

I just had to do this.

Lloyd's not going down without a fight.

Inspired by this post:

[ataraxixx]

prediction for s16 part 2

[kitkat-the-muffin]

Major Ninjago spoilers but I felt like rambling:

Ok so-

Zane discovers he is a robot in Season 1

Jay gets bitten by a serpentine and turns into a snake for a single episode in Season 1

Lloyd is honestly introduced as god’s grandson anyway since he’s Garmadon’s son and Garmadon is Wu’s brother and Wu mentioned his father created all of Ninjago so it’s an easy puzzle to solve, so that’s also Season 1

HOWEVER

In Season 5 Cole is turned into a ghost by the curse of Sensei Yang

And in Season 14, Nya turns into the ACTUAL ENTIRE OCEAN

They all get better tho. Sure Zane explodes in S3 but he comes back in full titanium glory in S4, and Cole is cured of his ghostliness in Day of the Departed (also because of Sensei Yang)

Jay stops being a snake in the same episode he turned, and Nya stops being the ocean a season after she started

Unfortunately Lloyd is still god’s grandson and the condition is not only permanent but nearly terminal (he dies in Season 10 but don’t worry he’s fiiiiiine he got better)

Despite not going through a horrible disfiguration of his person like everyone else (cough cough Lloyd in S16), Kai still has his emotional scars and lots and lots and lots of trauma :3

Huge fan of the "Kai is the only normal human on the ninja team" headcanons

Like you have

- The Snake

- The Ghost

- The Robot

- THE FUCKING OCEAN

- The Grandchild of God

- and kai I guess

[pyvore]

The girls are fightingggg🔥⚡🔥⚡‼️‼️‼️

[i-dont-like-crumbly-cookies]

what i wanna know is why the ninja decided that Lloyd in-skybound-i-was-forced-to-be-a-mute-pirate-because-i’m-so-bad-at-acting Garmadon was the most logical choice to pretend to be the Mechanic

[theiceemperor]

I think that probably the most realistic scene in Crystalized is the fight between Jay and Kai.

They're both stressed out. They're both grieving. They're both trying to cope, just in a different way, and sometimes, grief can get the best of us.

But I'm actually surprised that Kai hadn't snapped sooner. Because Nya, the reason he joined the ninja in the first place, Nya, his sister who he basically raised, his family – is dead.

And Jay has the audacity to act as if no one else cared that she was gone. As if he was the only one affected.

Kai is trying to hold it together. He's trying to move on, because he knows he can't change what Nya has done. And he knows that Jay is grieving too and he does his best to not blame him.

Yes, he accidentally knocked the glass of water, but he instantly apologized for that, knowing what it means to Jay.

In other words, I'm on Kai's side on this one. I think that he had every right to point out Jay's bullshit. He should have done it sooner.
