RC9GN Commentary + Thoughts

my current and ridiculous hyperfixation on RC9GN is dominating my entire life, oops- but basically, this is mostly me once again testing the waters of not only a potential fanfic with a reimagined/continued-fanon season three and beyond but before i start

Here’s my general commentary of the show!

For starters- Randy is so neurodivergent-coded? He has ADHD, and I feel if his actions in the canon are viewed from a more ND angle, a lot of his behavior makes so much more sense to be honest; he stims, he doesn’t exactly think before he acts sometimes (and it’s only later - once he’s truly thought about his own actions - that he finally realizes he could’ve messed up), he gets overstimulated, and on another thing- he definitely has displayed signs of not only rejection sensitivity dysphoria but he also looks for others’ approval - not in the people pleasing way, he wants to be noticed and he can’t exactly get that

The show can be mature- and it shows in certain moments. Howard‘s beef with the Nomicon is genuinely legitimate, and we see he hates and despises being alone - he’s not socially anxious, but he does seem to only have Randy as his friend; though could it also be tied with Howard just being so used to having him as company that not having him around just gets a little distressing? They were friends from literally three years old- maybe it’s the knowledge that Randy’s now faced with this life-threatening role?

Another thing! The whole thing with the First Ninja (part of the commentary and thoughts of this post) having lost his entire family at the hands of the Sorcerer? That has got to have developed some serious ptsd and survivor’s guilt- it could explain why he’s so strict and rational and attempts to be this mediating figure but also suddenly gives up and loses his temper (like- if his soul is in the nomicon, then has he had proper contact with people? He’d have been completely isolated-)

Going off on “Finja” (though i seriously need to give him a name-), his official introductory episode could’ve gone so much better? Like. I get it, why he seemingly gave up so quickly but also- I think he sees his younger self in Randy and that’s why he could be harder on him, but going back on the last point; “Finja” has gone through so much - even if it isn’t inherently canon - and goodness me, I wish we could’ve seen more of his character- and the idea he’s Randy’s ancestor? Hello?

Massive Commentary incoming!

The Norisu 9 is such an interesting concept- I want to know more, but for that I need to write it; who were they? They were a clan- could they possibly be brought back as other ninjas that fight alongside the Ninja? (AKA Randy) If that’s the case though, wouldn’t it have been mentioned beforehand? Then again- this is entirely fanon. Maybe it’s only in specific moments; like we all know there are eight other realms - apart from the Land of Shadows - that Randy would’ve had to face. Imagine just-

The Norisu 9 are carefully chosen, and that’s likely why they weren’t seen before? Maybe it was thought the bloodline vanished- or only show up when fighting against specific threats like, say, the Sorceress- but now I have to figure out who would be the rest of the Norisu 9? Off the top of my head, genuinely- Debbie should be one of them (a theme of dark purple? But seriously- I feel they all have a select set of powers) - i can’t fully explain my thoughts right now, but also Theresa? Like, they definitely have certain qualities to be ninjas- though that still leaves six more people-

Also like, I really want more on the tengu and the ninja? I have a lot more dedicated to the fanon season three and this is only one part of my thoughts but- i keep thinking about the one episode where tengu! Howard (in the time travel/season one finale episode) was hurt and it affected Randy; like this has so much potential? Like just imagine the angst that could create- or even if Howard was permanently linked to the tengu, and he developed powers and things went a little… south - there is going to be so much I’m going to explore with this tbh

I need to dedicate an entire nine post thesis purely dedicated to my attempts at interpreting the different realms that Randy would have had to face if the show wasn't suddenly cancelled, oh my god

Another thing- the Sorcerer had so much potential as a villain; it's basically what he could have been if the show wasn't posed so much as a lighthearted action-comedy, but this is also a topic for another day. The amount of brainrot I've been dealing with is so ridiculous, someone help

“Only one ninja left.”

Hey, remember when I said I had this urge to doodle First ninja and something with Norisu nine as well?

Well…I was going to do but I ended up drawing this instead. It does have something to do with the norisu nine, mostly with their death tho. And a bit of the sorcerer as well since he’s the cause of it all ya know. Made first ninjas hair a bit messy and everything.

Poor guy lost his whole family.

I Kinda like how I did the shading tbh. Anyway, hope ya like it.

Character profiles and their images, I saved around early 2013 from the Disney XD website. Note the description for Mrs. Driscoll implying she just thinks the skeleton is her husband and the misspelling of Debbie's name.

A lot of the character images here are from their regular default poses which you'd see a lot on production work. Howard, Heidi, P-Slims, Viceroy and the Sorcerer are the only ones that aren't that default stance but are still stock images they'd use for things like promotional material, this.

I have an alternate version of these that are the exact same they just changed the formatting. I admittedly can't remember which was the original.

not to talk my shit on main or anything but Miraculous Ladybug totally robbed its entire main villain concept and formula from Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja and nobody talks about it.

@whispering-radiance This is a really cool transformation of this withered lizard!

Here is an approximate illustration of my reaction when I saw him:

| Sorcerer |

I don’t have a strong opinion about this character… He kinda looks like a dehydrated frog— well, at least he does to me — But his rat is adorable!

this is my own fault.

hear me out-

rc9gn x warrior cats au

i need this. like, here is my vision- norrisville is a clan of cats, right? for now, we're calling the clan "brightclan" bc i am uncreative but, brightclan also had their own version of the norisu 9- the first ninja was this former kittypet who had gotten some of his fur dyed green and it just never came with; he was a curious boy, genuinely loved the outdoors and would spend his time wandering the forest which is how he found brightclan and his littermates (eight of them, mind you) followed suit

but first ninja was given the warrior name pouncepaw - pouncepaw and his brothers were resilient warriors, given the nickname "norisu 9" (for lack of better name-) because they excelled in what they did but of course- the clan was having issues with a band of rogues (where the sorcerer and his mate, the sorceress, came from!)

pouncepaw was close to becoming a warrior, but because he had begun his training late- due to ex-kittypet status- he didn't have an earned warrior name. his siblings, albeit not all from the same litter, were tasked with taking on the rogues; in an attempt to drive them out as they were causing problems on the clan- but something went south... pouncepaw still remembers the blood, the yowls even - how even his brothers were no match for the rogues (pouncepaw was given his warrior name after for his bravery, but he was the sole survivor)

now pouncestrike, he and his best friend pumpkinheart were leaving camp often- determined more than ever to take those down rogues; no one's entirely sure how it happened but the two rogues were banished from the territory- never to return...

pouncestrike went missing one day- no one was entirely sure what happened to him; some claimed he simply returned to his kittypet life, others thought he just went rogue- unable to deal with the deaths of his littermates but whispers foretold of a great warrior - the one cat who would protect them from harm (what they didn't know is it was different cats chosen, for their bravery- their courage- their true heart)

generations would come to pass within brightclan and soon enough, current times brought a new apprentice- the cat who would finally put an end to the rogues once and for all (not that anyone knew it yet-); let me have fun with this idea- i realize it barely manages to make sense

in comes our boy- violetpaw (currently just a placeholder name!) who was certainly a... unique cat; he seemed clumsy, but he had proven he would protect those who needed it and thus it was when the messenger delivered the message. except violetpaw didn't understand the teachings as well as the others, needing a little extra nudge from the cat version of the nomicon (genuinely for now, i think the nomicon should be like a starclan warrior or something visiting the ninjas in their dreams? i'll fix this later-)

violetpaw and his best friend flamepaw are apprentices known for their mischief, but of course- the rogue known as shade (also a placeholder name!) is back; and two of the warriors (mcfist is sandswipe? stoatfang? and viceroy, willowstrike) are apparently in cahoots with shade

tldr; the ninjas are warriors with a unique set of skills and abilities that set them out from the rest- they are referred to as 'silent warriors' (until i come up with a better name) and currently, violetpaw is chosen to take on the mantle. the mind-wipe would likely play out differently bc i am not that mean and obviously cats have a different perception of ages/years than a human would-

gonna reblog this with the list of potential cat names and whatnot in a moment!
