"I found something new that I'm really good at. I'm a ninja"

So Cole was saying this after Lou caught him going over the plan to steal the Blade Cup with the other ninja.

And here is Lou's face right after Cole said that he was a ninja:

And later, Lou says to Cole in reference to how stealing is wrong, "I'm not going to wait around to watch you make a mockery of our of our family's legacy."

And I know that at the time the episode was written, Lilly most definitely wasn't conceptualized, meaning that her being the previous Earth ninja couldn't as well.

But watching this after Season 13, you can interpret Lou's reaction to Cole being a ninja and stealing, as not only a mockery to his legacy being a dancer, but also Lilly's legacy as being a ninja.

the game room throughout the seasons

they have so much stuff now!!

[savemysoulmyartsucks]

Lloyd going to Coles room to tell him to stay away from Princesses is adorable. He is just protective of his older brother (especially after what happened to him)

((Something I really like about Vania is just how fast she is to return to a 'normal' state. She approaches life very simply.

Like when she was falling, and she was like 'Why would I be panicking? There's a plan.' and when its revealed that there isn't, she freaks out for a bit and then is like 'Well that's that. hey this hole is deep.'

She doesn't overthink to a detriment, If she can be helpful, she will be. And yeah she talks ideas out to Chompy, but its not in some sort of worry spiral. She sorts her thoughts out that way.

I like that she doesn't believe things unless she sees it.

When Vangelis revealed himself to be the skull sorcerer, it felt very in-line with his character based on how Vania asks. He didn't want her to go into the caves because, like her, he would have to give a simple/truthful answer. Him choosing not to hide it when being confronted just shows how he could potentially have a similar perspective as Vania does in that regard. ))

What Lies Beneath Mountains

i wrote something for a server writing game (hi, nwod people!) and i decided to post it! this is based of off the deleted scene at the end of s13, where the munce and geckle return to the mountain.

(ao3 version here.)

It’s quiet under the mountain.

Pickaxes carve into rock, carts roll along tracks, stone is moulded and beaten into delicate swirls. The Munce and Geckle workers toil together in silence—not out of fear, like before, but out of respect and a rare kind of reverence. Any half-buried grievances have been put aside in the name of someone both sides admired.

Another someone.

One statue already inhabits the temple beneath the mountain, but that isn’t what the workers are here for. They’re focused on a new figure carved out of rock: a new hero, sent to help the people who idolised his mother.

Coincidence or fate? Maybe she has too much faith in the writers in the clouds, but she’d like to believe it’s a mix of both.

As this second statue is lifted into place—pulled by Munce and Geckle giving every ounce of energy they can, just like the heroes did for them—its features come to light. That statue is smaller than the other, and shaped into a different likeness, but the similarities are unavoidable: intricate yet durable swirls wrap around both the statues’ rocky skin, echoing each other but unique in their own ways. Gritty stone has been hewn into his features where polished stone was sculpted into hers; they’re two chunks of the same rock, shaped by different processes over the course of their lives but undeniably from the same roots.

Similar, but beautifully unique.

It’s all she ever hoped that he’d achieve: living his life on his own terms, putting his heart and soul into causes he believes in. For that, and for a thousand other reasons, she’s so, so proud of him.

Slabs of stone are pushed into place, and the second statue is secured in its place beside the first.

Tools clink together as the workers pack up their bags, filing out of the temple one by one. The completion of a monument like this should be a cause for celebration, yet the workers are hushed and the air is heavy. It’s not celebration, it’s quiet reflection and respect.

The workers have lived here long enough to know that this temple is home to more than stone monoliths.

Workers begin to make their way back up the mountain, the dull thuds of their feet receding into whispers of noise. Any lingering traces of activity are scrubbed away with the last worker’s departure, and the stone doors are gently pulled shut.

It’s quiet under the mountain.

Dark, too—the light from the workers’ torches has long since withdrawn to the upper levels of the mountain, rendering the statues near-blind in their temple.

Not for long, though.

Rock shifts and lava slips through the cracks, running in rivulets through the central carving on the floor. It streams outwards in spirals, emitting a soft golden glow that gets brighter with every new drop of lava exposed.

Heat rises and hangs in the air—not the blistering roar of fire, but the simmering heat of a hot spring. The gentle warmth of soil on a summer’s day. The unconditional pride of a parent’s love.

Molten rock entwines around the younger statue’s feet and stretches to his hands, welcoming and accepting him as part of the temple. The glow burns brightest not at his heart but at his fingers—they’re mere breaths from hers; so, so close to touching, but not quite there.

Not quite there.

They remain like that, for a while: one statue lit with all the might of the earth, and the other dull in comparison. Tarnished by time and weary from loss.

The desire to close this tiny, tiny gap shimmers deep in her stone chest, but she shoves it down and lets it simmer deeper. Closing the gap is something she used to be able to do, something she used to have the opportunity to do. Not now.

Closing the gap is something she gave up when she used her final years as a hero to fight and not rest. She doesn’t regret her time travelling or helping those who needed it—it’s the opposite, in fact. She loved that, and she can see the same desire ended up running in the family.

No, what she regrets is not being able to help those she cared about the most: she couldn’t help them when coughs rattled her frame every time she spoke; she couldn’t help them when getting out of bed took more effort than moving a mountain; and she couldn’t help them when all her strength finally left her and she died.

But she’s made piece with that. What’s done is done, and what is gone will soon bloom anew in another form.

Warmth seeps through every shard of her body as the lava pools at her feet, and—

Rough rock grazes her hand.

Just for a moment—but another moment is everything she hoped for.

Her stone shifts, head tilting left, left, left, inch by inch, until she can see him properly. His statue is back where it was originally placed; the only way she can tell it’s been moved (no, he moved by himself) is the disturbed soil and brighter glow.

That same glow sings through her skin. He isn’t the real thing and neither is she, but it’s close, and close means everything.

Lilly looks at her son and smiles.

new fic idea: rewriting motm so its a dnd campaign. the plot remains the exact same but it's not a show, it's just some guys playing dnd with their silly characters

[ghostlysundae]

Owl gal :D

[colesstar]

STOP!! THIS IS AN OFFICIAL MOTM CHECKPOINT 🚨🚨

plsplspld reblog with motm screencaps

HERES MY CONTRIBUTION!!

i beg I am running on motm juice and a headache i love it so much its not okay the WHOME SEASON VBGJDODIN i have a whole new bunch if characters to my blorbo list ots not okay but we MOVE but YOU cant move without ADDING MOTM SCREENCAPS please :(( especially cole but i love all the characters (except vangelis FUCK YOU >:[)

[ninja-clips]

I’m very convinced Kai

[mittenslikescats]

Hopefully we see more of Vania in Ninjago United. Also I like how she was paired with Cole throughout MOTM and didn't end up as a sort of love interest as this happened with the other ninja when paired up with a female character (Jay with Nya, Zane with Pixal, Kai with Skylor and Lloyd with Harumi then later Akita). So yeah I think that's pretty cool their breaking that cycle of 'guy + girl who show a connection to each other = love interest.

Also here's the original sketch

[crayonsfunkyartcorner]

(Man, these seasons are short) I finished Master of the Mountain! Really great season, I love Vania and the Cole focus was awesome. Especially the Spinjitzu Burst scene, soooo good. Cole’s story is so sad and I didn’t even know Lilly but I already miss her. I also love the Upply :)

Ninjago Dragons Rising Episode 16 Spoilers

Something something due to Geo being forgotten as a kid he probably had no idea that Munce and Geckles finally started getting along and Vangelis was overthrown until Cole possibly told him after the Merge.

[kai-smiths-hair-gel]

DON'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEE

This based off of the headcanon that when Cole 'activated' Lilly's statue in shintaro it shed tears at the sight of her son once again <3
