so like… who in ninjago is actively producing chainmail in the era of high tech sentient robots and social media. who is out here painstakingly preparing 100% authentic armor and weaponry and chainmail for this motley crew of vaguely teenaged disasters and friends. there is a thriving industry for leather armor! skylor rolls up to hunted with a whole sleeve of scale armor! kai’s hunted design implies they either wear chainmail under their gi or they just had it lying around in the bounty! living for the baffling implications of traditional armor and weapons techniques persisting until the “modern” day. do you think wu gave skylor the number for his “guy” after s4, bc she rolls up to skybound and s7 ready and rockin it. do you think wu pays the unknown mystery person producing their costumes each season fair commission rates. the resistance has a unique armor style - do you think it’s far more modern military-esque bc lloyd doesn’t know wu’s guy?

#text✨#ninjago #adore the baffling mix of time periods in ninjago it’s great #for all we know kai’s just one of many blacksmiths having fun mixing traditional weaponry with modern tech. genuinely i really like the idea #that they avoided the whole everything is mass produced shit and people can just go. buy chainmail and armor and stuff and it’s as normal as #it would have been centuries ago for us. ninjago culture is just ‘hell yeah armor’ and it’s an aesthetic.#imagine if the ninja becoming popular made it a trend to wear it casually again. and then bam. hunted rolls around and well shit it can’t #*hurt* to wear it for real. and now it’s a genuine safety tip #sry i’ve just been obsessed with their outfits and armor lately
