Guys what the fuck

[yeetusthemighty]

This stupid description is way too funny to me

[new-bug-ideas]

bug who has always thought it was a bug but just realized it isn't

Ah yes the bug that is an analogy for the queer/neurodiverse experience, the working class in capitalist societies, and Zane from Lego Ninjago

prime empire au where the superstar rockin jay that the ninja meet acts like jay, thinks like jay, but fundamentally isn’t jay. ssrj is an npc, a decoy built by unigami to stop the ninja from searching for the real jay (who’s being used as a glorified battery) within the game.

of course, to make ssrj the perfect clone, even he doesn’t realise he’s an npc. he thinks he’s the real jay, and his ‘powers’ are fragments of the real jay’s lightning. even’s though ssrj’s memories of his life outside the game feel like they’re photographs, with himself behind the camera, not in the moment - all his memories are like that, so isn’t that what memories are supposed to feel like? 

ssrj is the ideal jay - a little bit too much like jay, perfect in the sense that he’s what the ninja (and everyone else) assume what jay is like. ssrj is jay without his deepest insecurities and darkest experiences, and therefore he’s jay without everything that makes him jay.

eventually, the ninja beat the game, and ‘defeat’ unigami - if unigami can make a digital clone of jay, faking his own destruction is laughably easy, especially when he’s got the element of lightning strengthening him. and yes, i said destruction - ssrj never had those doubts about his past, so why would he share them with unigami? 

ssrj and the other ninja continue their lives, blissfully unaware whilst the real jay is left to rot inside prime empire as unigami regains his strength. 

and if nya notices something slightly different about her yang, something slightly off about his smile or the delay when he’s reminiscing - well, she still died in prime empire, and the last time that happened jay changed. and if this change seems to be for the better, why should she complain?

[potatounicoorn]

I wonder if Nya had never returned, would she have eventually became an urban legend of sort? With people desperately searching for her, trying to even see a glimp of her, to prove the girl turned ocean was real and there?

Sometimes a family is just a ninja dad, his husband who he found in a garbage can, their teenage daughter who just happens to be a spell made thousands of years ago who grew sentience and created their own form stalked by wolf masked bad guys to bring back four badder guys that were sealed away, and their two kids.

Pixal and Scott find Jay AU

Currently thinking about Jay wandering the Merged Lands after being cast away by Ras, only for a mechanic named Scott and a female robot named Pixal to find him and encourage Jay to join them, that he would be safe by their side.

He doesn't know why he trusts them, even though he has every reason not to. But, he figures that it's better than wandering around alone, and that if he has to, he can leave them behind and move on.

Pixal and Scott begin to disassemble all of the lies that Ras told Jay, the lies that Jay told himself, and try their best to heal Jay's soul, all the while searching desperately for their friends.

(later, Jay will find out that they are looking for the Ninja, the Ninja who he hated, and will fight them. But Scott and Pixal know Jay, know him better than he knows himself, and won't give up on him, no matter what)

So I was rewatching the blood moon when I noticed something:

When the blood moon passes, and Rontu and Egalt’s curse is over, and they start to crack…it sorta looks like vengestone.

It’s a little more red than orange, but the point stands. What if this is how vengestone was made? If you look at it a certain way, dragons could be seen as pure elemental energy, so the magic used to bind Rontu and Egalt could then be seen as pure anti elemental energy, something that cancels them out, exactly like vengestone does.

What if, then, that’s why Shintaro, the mountain Griefbringer is kept in, naturally generates vengestone? Because it helps keep Griefbringer sealed away?

something something obligatory Ninjago AU

So erm! Yeah! This is what I call my “partners AU” ( ´ ▽ ` ) it’s basically one big ToE overhaul, where Zane is coerced into working with Chen. Since he has no memories at the start of ToE, I think it actually makes for a pretty good Villain Zane setup.

more below ^^

So, about the AU relationships: yes, Zane and Skylor are a couple in this! I’m a sucker for a good rarepair, and having worked on this AU for nearly 5 years now, I’ve grown VERRRYYY attached to them. I also think that their dynamic is SO interesting to work with, especially considering what may have happened before the tournament. I mean, we know for a fact that she came in contact with him due to her having his powers, so what might have happened? I ADORE exploring and fleshing out details like that.

The Digital sheets are currently just rough drafts for the final designs, but I DO know this for certain:

• The scarf is STAYING. Idc if it’s impractical or dumb, I’m literally emotionally attached to it.

•The purple mask and white gi are for sure staying, I really just need to figure out things like harnesses, belts, accessories, etc. Plus, I may squeeze his emblem into there somewhere

So yeah, this is my Partners AU! I’m also working on a fic to go alongside with it, so check me out on Ao3! (Smoked_Snail) :3

If you read this far, for one, WOW. Thanks for listening to my yap sesh. And two, have a nice day/night!

I love Skybound because the writers like, forgot to give Jay any trauma for his entire life and then were like "ah crap. He's a healthy teenager with two loving parents. He's got some anxiety but he's mostly fine, what do we do?" and then they just dumped a lifetime of trauma on him at once. And no one else remembers it.
