Harumi’s face

I’m in the middle of rewatching season 8 because (I found a streaming platform it is free on), and I am sooooo curious to hear interpretations of Harumi’s “real face” as Lloyd calls it. we know she painted over the mark with makeup, but I would love to know peoples opinions. Personally, I believe they’re scars.

When a conversation in a discord server makes you realises 5 out of 6 of the Ninja have been harrassed.

AND MOST OF IT HAPPENED IN SKYBOUND!!!

Rewatching Dragons Rising and you know, even though 'We Rise' isn't nearly as iconic or energetic as 'Weekend Whip,' I'm just so happy we have a proper intro back instead of the weird ten-second intro recap thing they had going on in the Wildbrain era

Ok ok, so some random thing I had noticed a while ago about Lloyd's eyes when they are green versus when they are black that I want to talk about.

First, for reference, Kai's eyes when they are partially closed:

Notice how they have those little lines on the top and bottoms of them.

Now, I want to show Lloyd's eyes when they are green:

When Lloyd's eyes are partially closed like that, he never has those lines while having green eyes. This is constant. It also makes Lloyd look a little strange compared to the other characters who have black eyes, though not that strange.

But then there's Season 9, which is the only time post Season 8 where his eyes are black at some point:

He has those lines. He has them.

And I think I understand why. Because when you think about it, it'd look really weird if Lloyd had those lines on his eyes when they are green, whether the lines are black or green.

Now, just for something random I also want to point out, there are other characters like Lloyd who don't have the lines under or above their eyes, such as Zane and Pixal, who both have outlines around their eyes:

I have GOT to get back to the glacier dads au. I don't think I ever even made a coloured drawing for it.

Question about my ninjago descedents of luminescence au.

It's basically a war au, with mecha elements I got inspired from transformers, code greas and Evangelion.

An entire post with details of the au will be posted soon I'm still building the lore.

I know basically every charecters role in the story now except for Harumi tbh

I'm in a bit of what you call a dilemma about Harumi, should I make her a secret traitor, a symapthizer to Garmadon who runs a cult to break down order within the land or just a rebel soldier in another unit who does morally ambigious stuff like using magical artifacts like the mask of hatred.

Either way I do plan on having a redemption arc for her so I'm giving the choice for you guys.

speaking of my SoG rewatch heres a lil scene redraw i did ages ago on my first watch 💥👊

[id: a redraw of a scene from episode - of Sons of Garmadon in comic format. Zane, Lloyd, Cole and Jay are standing next to each other, Jay is hiding slightly behind cole. "we come seeking the-" zane starts but is interrupted by Mystake finishing his sentence with "the Tea of Truth". The ninjas stand in silence for a beat before Zane goes "shes good" in shock. "and creepy" jay follows./ end id]

[thecheesyboi1315]

JUSTICE FOR ECHO PLEASE I'M BEGGING NINJAGO WRITERS DO YOU REALIZE HOW CREUL NYA AND JAY SEEM FOR THIS

hey um sorry we left your boyfriend in an abandoned lighthouse. yeah, he risked his life to help total strangers save the world from a guy with godlike reality-bending powers in an alternate timeline. we don't like to think about it because it's too traumatic so we doomed him to a life of permanent isolation, ignorant of what could have been. yeah we didn't tell his brother he exists. sorry.

Slapping the ninja with hobbies that aren’t just ninja-ing or the already clearly stated ones because they desperately need lives

Cole seriously likes arts and crafts. He’s got his own little area in his room thats just filled with arts and crafts supplies. Glue, glitter, fabric, ribbons, sticks, gems, you name it. He creates ribbon roses, makes his own birthday cards, creates cute little designs almost all the time and gives them to all of the ninja in random little areas.

Zane actually likes taking small random items and fixing them. Nothing big like how three certain somebodies (Cough nya jay and pixal cough) do but just little things everyone owns and can’t fix. Kai accidentally broke a massive candle in a har and he ran off to find Zane to fix it, a bracelet Nya owns broke so she immediately hands it off to Zane, Lloyd breaks a tea cup and presents it to Zane with a ‘please help me.’

Jay really likes any sort of skating. Roller skating, ice skating, skateboarding, you name it he knows it and much better than you do. He takes pride in knowing the most complicated of tricks and moves, and may or may not have used his ninja training to cheat a little but we all would do that let’s be real. He sometimes starts skateboarding in the monastery and Wu may or may not have snatched it from under his feet multiple times but Jay has no proof.

Kai, after having everyone constantly talk to him about how ‘fun’ it was, got hooked onto adventure books. he reads them all, he knows all the big authors, he knows every character and every piece of lore and if he's obsessed enough he WILL buy the entire series. A guilty pleasure he got hooked onto right after was fanfiction. He reads it all.

Nya, strangely enough, got hooked onto flowers. She loves making bouquets and giving them to anyone and everyone who wants them. She’s memorised every meaning each flower has been given, and soon enough she got interested in other plants too, especially ones under water. She takes care of them like her babies and if they die she will be found sobbing in a corner holding the pot or whatever it was in.

Lloyd tripped his way into making clothes. He learnt how to sow from Misako, who was used to altering clothes for Garmadon and Wu. Lloyd specifically likes making designs on shirts and hoodies and the such, usually working with Cole on that front. You could usually find him hunched over anywhere dimly lit with a needle, a shirt, a bunch of thread and a will to make something cool. He could use the machines, but he once accidentally shoved his finger right underneath and he’s held a grudge ever since.

Bonus:

Skylor loves to write, and write she does with that uncompleted 200k original story she’s afraid no one will like, and keeps procrastinating so much that she even writes fanfiction of stuff she hasn’t been into for years. The reader named ‘redhotshot204’ keeps leaving comments though, so she supposes she should keep updating.

Morro is unashamedly good at ballet. He first learnt it for his ninja business, but he became so good at it he couldn’t let it go. He’s graceful with every step he takes and never makes any mistakes every twirl and spin and whatever and he will kick people in the face. Hard. He honestly hates tutus so he will try strangling people with it if forced to wear one, but he absolutely loves ballet shoes. Spinning around in his tip toes became an instinctual habit after a bit.

Harumi likes making jewellery, and makes them as heavy and as sharp as possible. Shes capable of making earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, whatever. It mainly started because she couldn’t find the type of jewellery she wanted during her SoG years, so she began making it by herself. She even glued the spikes of her gi on herself.

Echo got interested in cars, specifically toy cars, and making them functional as actual cars. Not the most normal of hobbies but knowing who he’s related to its to be expected. He once accidentally made an evil toy car and it kept hitting everyone’s heels and ankles the entire day. Harumi ‘accidentally’ pushed Cole onto it so it would break. They had to perform a funeral because Echo was going to actually arrest them for murder if they didn’t.

Pixal got into painting. Sometimes shes slapping paint onto a canvas and then calling it a day, other times shes making something that rivals the Mona Lisa. Landscapes are what she prefers the most, often drawing the scenes they all see when going on big missions, with bright colours to show the beauty they saw. They love hanging it all up around the monastery.

new and updated theory on the source of lloyd’s power!

in dragons rising there definitely has been lore dropped here and there but more than anything I find ammunition to power my long winded theory that lloyd’s powers come from his heart, in theoretical and just elemental sense.

doc wyatt has established there isn’t a set explanation (YET) in show, but he did like one of my tweets regarding my claim that Lloyd’s power resonates within the heart and soul.

starting out, lloyd’s power has never been defined. it is hinted by the writers that lloyd has no idea what it is, though what we do know is that it—-

1) can create life and destroy it (the book of elemental powers)

2) draw energy from the elements

3) shield oneself / very powerful in attack

4) does not belong to the source dragon of energy but belongs to the source dragon OF LIFE

5) has some sort of connection with the FSM

and lastly, by LEGO GROUP’s definition.. it’s ENERGY.

energy can have have different meanings. energy in lightning’s case seems to be the electrical sense, but energy can .. power up things, it makes things work -

energy is also used as a synonym for life force, this is demonstrated when referring to the act of draining source dragons and the whack-rats.

what i am getting at, is I believe that energy in the sense of lloyd’s powers is that he holds the essence of life itself. his power works hand in hand in his survival as well as keeps him alive.

now to connect him to LIFE , a source dragon, was very interesting but made a great deal of sense. Life is in everything, energy can create life.. who created life?

THE FSM used elemental powers to bring Garmadon and Wu into existence, he also holds the ability that past his death, he could steal lloyd from the mortal world to speak to him in the grasslands.

the elements of creation can be drawn from in their energy for lloyd, but the elements of creation were the core four.

LIFE = Lightning, Ice, Fire, Earth

so….

that also makes sense as to when he was dying in mystake’s tea shop that they had to use their elemental powers of creation to revive lloyd or heal him.

now jumping into the theory that will always be my favorite, and the show itself actually jumped into it was elemental powers being felt or drawn from different places depending on the elemental powers, ie nya with veins, zane with his mind, etc etc etc—

lloyd’s power comes from his heart in my opinion.

firstly, life—- energy is what makes the heart beat, you cannot live without that.

mentally, lloyds power has always been his true self, his heart, the way he cares so deeply for people (even if they do not deserve so)

green in spirituality also represents the heart chakra, it is very similar in description.

but as someone so close to his mortality, and who i believe is always aware of such, it makes so much sense.

in s8, when his element is fighting for him as he’s succumbing to his wounds in the fight in krytparium it sparks on his chest,

following this— the elemental master figures that were released in the SOG wave depicted different elements and where they were located differed on the ninja, lloyds was insanely insanely obvious—

overdrawing from his element has caused him great sickness multiple times. we see this with golden power, then we see this with him fainting while using his element against griefbringer in MOTM (something very opposite to his element— death)

the fact that his power kept him alive but also left him for a bit after he almost was on the brink of dying in s8

now with dragons rising and the conduit putting him in a semi coma for several days because of his mortality

he puts his hand on his heart when he approaches the imperium source dragon when saying “this place, i feel weird”

him believing he’d die from conduit power…

it’s justttt…

but that being said there is so much they could discuss about lloyd in show, whether discovering his powers, or seeing the actual scope of what they do

lloyd is very hesitant and he out of anyone never talks about his powers or how they work

but there’s so much there, like what if his elemental power could heal people or bring people back to life (other than himself LOL)

Finally figured out how I like to draw all the ninja

rarepair week day 4- roleswap

ok i have like an entire au guys sorry. ive been rotating this one for awhile. ill try to be brief tho bc i dont rlly feel like typing out a lot in this post but basically. echo was dr julien's original son who died and he built zane as a replacement and now echo's ghost is out for revenge bc hes mad about being replaced (so instead of possessing lloyd he possesses zane yk). morro is a robot built to fulfill the green ninja prophecy/kill the dark lord but he has been unable to fulfill his purpose bc it was done by the Real Green Ninja and so he has a bit of a one sided competition w lloyd and he joined the SoG in order to be the first to defeat garmadon when hes resurrected bc he just wants to fulfill his purpose. hes crazy ok. anyway heres some other doodles from when i was testing out the concepts and designs and stuff :P
