#skales jr.

[lloyddahb0i]

I drew Skales Jr. based on this reaction pic of Lewis Hamilton. the story behind it is Skales Jr. is an upper classmen who is visiting the freshmen of the Ninja School, that the og ninja (now Senseis) made.

The leveling system of the school is separated into types of metals. Copper is freshmen, Iron is sophomore, Bronze for Junior and Silver for Seniors. While the color Gold is for all the Teachers.

The fun thing about making hybrid species OCs in DR is I can just say that different species have different aging cycles/lifespans and they an be any age I want. Like yeah this Serpent/Mucoid was born a year after the Merge and went through puberty at only 4 years old also he still has likeeee 41 years of his expected lifespan left to go. What about it?

[tricogarfield]

Okay, so, this might be a VERY HOT TAKE but...

Do you ever think about Skales' kid Skales Jr. and his wife Selma??? Like, what happened to the little guy? And where is Selma now?

That was, until it hit me;What if SPITZ is the kid of Skales???

Like, you gotta hear me out for a second,,,,what if Selma died sometime after appearing (perhaps shortly before or durig Crystallized or something?) And Skales was so caught up in the grief, he completely ignored his own son who just lost his mother? Like, a similiar situation of Cole and his dad Lou perhaps!

So Skales Jr. ventures out, completely unnoticed by his own father and starts traversing the land

And he eventually, either before or after The Merge, he ends up in the Land of Lost Things, where he takes on the name Spitz because he doesnt want to be just a shadow of his father who neglected him???

I'll admit, this is a hot take and it could very well be that you see Skales Jr. and Selma in the last episode of crystallized and I was just too blind to see it, but- this would be super interesting to see, wouldn't it??? Especially with Cole having had a similiar situation and then helping and comforting Spitz and telling him about his dad!

Anyway, this thought just randomly hit me at 5 AM and I should go to sleep now, bye TAT

Just realized:

The age you think the ninjas have directly correlates to how much time you think that happened between S2 "Legacy of the Green Ninja" and S3 "Rebooted"

It is the only time gap (excluding the merge) where they don't tell you how much time has passed. You are either "I am suspending my belief, it was only a year/ a few months" or a "Skales jr exists... so 6 years minimum right?"

colored some of my alterline doodles bc i'm gonna rewatch s6 soon and its gonna hurt so i'll think about my rewrite instead <3

context if yall want under the cut

in my rewrite its geode rather than jaya, so cole gets some focus spotlight in skybound. as a wish during the scuffle on the ship, he wishes to be living, and like with what happened to clouse in canon. so now he's in a lot of pain and living in a lighthouse with jay, who on the first day there, is mostly snake.

(more context: jay in alterline is sort of like a werewolf? where his serpentine form comes and goes with stress but he becomes fully wild feral snake during the full moon. which is exactly what happens on the day of arriving at the lighthouse jkdfhgdjkfhg)

oh and also jay lives with the serpentine between s3 and s4 so that's where the serpentish comes from

"Greener Pastures" Chapter 54: Respect is Mutual

All the ninjago kiddos! That I remembered, lol.

Also I'm not sure if Echo counts, but this is my art soooo... He does now

Fun fact, way before Dragons rising was an idea, I had a little theory/AU thingie, where the ninja got sent to another realm, where time passed differently. (How funny, it was way before SotFS...) So basically these kids formed a replacement ninja team to fight the evils treathening ninjago, discovering they themselves are elemental masters. And that's been in my brain, slowly adding all the new kiddos to it. Might make some art, and a post about that too, because I would love to draw them.

Here's my spitballing on these dummies and their designs.

The Darkleys kids!

The little shits. They would be the ones to have kidnapping as their first resolve.

- I kinda didn't know Sally existed, but I liked all the art, so she does now. Also, she loves pink, I love pink, we all love pink

- Brad is definitely the muscle of the group, with a big heart, but not the greatest mind. Also, he has a babyface, that's very hard to make look evil.

- His design kinda grew on me with time, but it still feels a bit lacking...

- There's this theory that Gene is Skylor's brother, and Chen's son, that I kinda absorbed into my brain and ran with it so yeah.

-Also, the hand thingie is not a glove, it helps hold his hand together after a nasty injury :)

- The bowlcut was uniform at Darkleys, but Gene was such a nightmare they just gave up with him.

- They have matching pins and earpieces. Cause of course they do. Also, dumbo boots uniform.

The Paperkids!

Antonia and Nelson are a given, and I just kinda added Unagami on there, since he waved at them once. Also, I think it would be cute if they were friends.

- I know he doesn't anymore, canonically, but I like to think he still wears his purple gi under the jumper. Who knows when someone will need the purple ninja?

- He has a scar from the injury he had when he met with the ninja. Also, am I the only one who tought something much worse was going on than a broken leg? Obviously a kid show can't have a terminally ill kid, but fsm that's still how I remembered it.

- Antonia! I loved drawing her hair. Also kinda like her badass big sis vibes.

- She has her hands out to make sure the two kids, but mainly Nelson, don't go missing somehow (happens more often than you think)

- Even if he can shapeshift, I like to tjink Unagami keeps his line-marks in whatever forms, since it's apart of his skin. He can hide them, but it takes effort, so he just doesn't bother.

- He can change his form generally, but you could still tell it's him by the lines, eyes, and hair

- He has a little nick in his eyebrow, and so does (did i guess) Jay. I just think that's a cute detail

The Forgotten ones...

Just called that cause I had to add them on a separate canvas after forgetting them. I forgot Skales Jr, shame on me, I tought Jake and Nelson were one character, and I was still debating Echo. But here they are!

- It was surprisingly not that hard to draw him, even tho I was very scared

- Since he has white on him, I was trying (and failing miserably) to replicate those partially albino reptiles. Also added some pink scales, since he is also Selma's son, who's pink.

- I don't know to this day why Echo was introduced only to be left behind.... Nevertheless he's a sweetheart

- I guess if you count Mr.E, but then he would be dead... Unless the kids fix him (lightbulb moment)

- Also, ahy is his head weirdly tiny? How did that happen?

- Jake. Goddamnit, how were you the hardest to draw? Somehow I couldn't get the head right...

- The giant pants is an idea that lived in my head. I like yo think he would be able to fix ancient artifacts with hairties, ductape, and sheer force of will.

- He might have a bowlcut, but cmon, are you telling me he wouldn't at least try to replicate whatever the hell Kai's hair was in the beginning?

I guess that's it folks, lemme know if any of you are interested in my weird Ninja kids au thingie!

Hello

Could you draw Skales Junior as a sentient Crystal zombie (aka not a mindless zombie like the other zombies seen in Crystalized)?

he glows in the dark :)))

[the-ninja-legacy-whip]

how fast do serpentine grow into adults and how long do they live for in legacyverse (asking mainly about skales jr)

Considering that the Generals are all at least over 40 years old themselves as of now (Pythor is an OLD MAN), I'd imagine that while their young tend to grow up relatively quick, they would still have the relative lifespan of a human :d

[tsarbomba567]

I feel that before Ninjago Crystalized, Skales Junior would often visit Kryptarium Prison to see his friend Pythor and acquaintance Aspheera, against the advice of his father and the other Serpentine generals. During his visits he taught Aspheera origami and how to make pancakes, as well as helping Pythor perfect his art skills.

Skales Junior holds the belief that most people can change, and that some people are manipulated by outside forces to do horrible things. In the case of Pythor and Aspheera, he believes that the Overlord had manipulated the two Serpentine to unknowingly do his bidding in the past. He's also against the notion that putting villains in prison will make them magically reform into better people with enough time; rather he thinks that those people behind bars need to go through rehabilitation and have active support if they're ever going to permanently reintegrate into society.

Even after Crystalized, he still believes that the Overlord had manipulated and used them and the other Crystal Council members to do his dirty work. Despite Pythor and Aspheera's treachery and betrayal, Skales Junior still wants to be friends with the two imprisoned Serpentine.

Junior's attempts to befriend Pythor and Aspheera constantly leads to conflict between him and his father King Skales; Selma tries to stay on a slowly eroding middle ground, and she fears that picking a side will rip their family apart.

[emeraldtart]

Ninjago AU where Aspheera kidnaps Skales Jr. so that she can use him as hostage. In exchange the Serpentine will become her soldiers to conquer Ninjago.

Skales who realized what's going on breaks into the monastery in the middle of the night to warn the ninjas.

So the ninjas have to deal with a worried snake father and a very pissed off snake mother. Selma is going to drive Aspheera's clan to extinction if she gets her hands on her.

Lloyd had walked in on Selma planning multiple ways to destroy the Fire Vipers. She's not even going to seal them, she's going to outright drown them into an icy lake. Lloyd just walks away and pretends he didn't see anything.

Aspheera: Foolsss! You think you can defeat me?

Skales: ... We can't. But my wife can.

Aspheera: Wha-

Selma: Ssay hello to extinction, skinbag.

[nyaskitten]

First set of requests done! @paskariu asked for Skales and Skales jr, @tm59 asked for Chang'e, and one anon asked for Karlof (whose design is based on that of @genderfluidkai)

[leeisjustlee]

I suddenly got the idea to draw Skales Jr and my design for how he could look as an adult(general) and teen(warrior). In my hc Skales Jr is an albino but not the same albino that we know(ex. White tiger) instead it's more like the tabby tiger type of albino.

What’s a Lego ship that u absolutely believe is not a love a first sight ship, Like platonic or slow, but the fandom don’t really picture as such. Or a ship that’s your favourite slow bond or platonic ship.

Uh I honestly have no idea how fandom pictures ships, I really just stay on here posting shit and don’t actually engage with the greater fandom a whole lot.

I guess you could consider my Skales Jr. ship slow? And platonic for several years probably.

Look at ‘em. Throwin’ rocks at a common enemy. They’re gonna grow up and get married someday. And Skales Jr is not dead, fuck what Hageman said on twitter.

Little cuties honestly.
