I feel weird putting vent art on here, but this one is positive, and maybe it’ll help someone else who’s feeling the same, and wants the same reassurance. 💜

[obsessive-dumpling]

I have been waiting with bated breath but the end is nigh so it's time to get our final predictions in folks.

.

.

.

And I don't know.... I've had SO many predictions throughout this entire series and here we are, at end game, and I have no clue. Because Horikoshi is so talented at turning things where I least expect. Don't believe me?

Did you see "Kacchan of the Bakugos" live on world wide television happening?

Did you see "cutest girl in the world" happening?

Did you see "spend the rest of our lives together" happening?

(Spoiler Alert: There are so. many. more!)

Like we anticipated a lot of things as a fandom but then he would also smack us in the face with scenes straight out of our favorite fanfics. And why? Why did he do that? Why did he REUSE the line from School Briefs about Katsuki's relationship with girls in the final chapters of the manga? He didn't have to do that. He didn't have to do any of this!

Those were choices. Choices he actively made. Choices Shonen Jump let be published. Choices Bones is now animating. And it's because of those choices and that follow through that I'm so unsure now.

This all feels too pointed... Too intentional for there to not be a final bkdk scene/ending. So why the hesitation in predicting a bkdk ending?

Because. This ending isn't about the fandom. This ending isn't about "who's ship wins". And if you think that's all that's on the line here, then I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry, cause you missed it. You missed the point of this series and what bkdk as a canon couple would actually mean in the real world 2024.

MHA is one of the top animes in the world. Check the numbers. Not Japan. Not American. The world! Do you understand what it would mean to have a canon gay couple as leads in a mainstream Shonen anime? How many people that would reach?

Representation in media matters. Representation in MAINSTREAM media MATTERS. God, I could do a whole seminar on this topic but the point HERE being: a canon gay superhero couple in a top Shonen anime would have a massive effect on a global scale. And how many need to see that? How many people could that help? How many people could it change?

And though Horikoshi has shown a heavy leaning towards a bkdk end game, that doesn't mean he has to, or even can, follow through on it. Unfortunately, it's not up to JUST him. Shonen Jump could tank it. Bones could tank it! Do you get it yet? It's going to take A LOT for this to happen. And frankly my heart is having a hard time with it...

Because we've seen creators fight this fight before. The Legend of Korra. SheRa. Both always intended to have queer leads. But had to fight TOOTH AND NAIL with everything they had just to get a final closing scene.

We've also seen queer baiters. So many have pointed out the similarities to how Naruto felt. And because of the nature of the series' mangaka, we will never know what the truth is on that matter.

We've felt shunted by the system. We've felt laughed at for having hope to see a love like ours up on that screen.

But now we have hope again. And there /is/ a chance. There is a really real chance right now- that we could actually get it...

And that makes my chest tight.

I don't think anyone will actually understand just how much I love Ninjago

I love everything about it

The funny moments, the sentimental moments, the straight up sad moments or moments that make me angry

I love it all

I can't truly hate any character from it, everyone has their flaws but at the same time everyone has something to genuinely love about them

I physically cannot hate ANYONE from the show

No matter who it is

I will always find something to love about them

I don't think I can actually hate anyone...never had it in my heart to do that

But everything about it, the show(s), the movie, the fandom, the books, the good and the bad I'm here for it all

I will still stand by it and I will always respect everyone's opinions on their aspects of the show

But Ninjago always held a special place, it's always been there and it always will be

The stupid smiles on their faces, the stupid angst the stupid dumb celebratory moments the ninja get only for it to be ruined moments late, I love it all

The edits people make, the funny, the angsty, the nostalgic, the happy, the silly, the sad, and the angry, it always gets me

Everything about this show reminds me how much it means to me, how much it has *always* meant to me.

Words aren't even enough to describe this feeling, I don't know what it's called but whatever it is I'm so damned glad I've stuck around long enough to feel it

Maybe there's a ton of people out there who feel the exact same as I do and just don't know how to describe it well, and maybe there isn't

After all...it's just a silly kids show, right? A stupid, fun, silly kids show that I will never stop watching, that I will always love no matter what happens

I will forever be greatful that my 8 year old self found this damned lego show back in 2016 and watched it from beginning to end and loved every single aspect of it, every single moment of every minute of that show

I love Ninjago so much it makes me feel sick(In a way) but I don't even care because it is that special to me

Thank you Ninjago for just existing and feeding my fixations for all these years, and continuing to do so<33

Thank you Ninjago fandom for making all the silly shit you do and for the love of the fsm don't ever stop, y'all mean so much and you make everything so interesting with your silly creative minds<33

I hope someone can kind of connect with me on this but ykw if I'm on my own in this aspect of certain things that's okay too

And thank you to those who have put up with my excited fixation on this silly little show, and maybe even joined in on my excitement, hope you enjoyed it if you have!

Ninjago, I love you, and always will, thank you for literally just existing<33

Anyways sentimental rant over gonna go write or draw haven't decided yet<33

[oorangesoda]

Respectfully, on my knees and in the most polite way possible could I humbly ask for more Farmer Callum with his hair tied up? It quite simply gives me life.

Crunchy? For you? Anything 😌 Callum doesn’t usually tie up his hair unless he’s at home, but this is my world he’s just living in it >;)

Took this as an opportunity to work on facial perspective as well as an excuse for hair up Cal, if you see anything nefarious, no you didn’t 😌

Once Jas warms up to Callum and gets used to him being around, I like to think he lets her give him “makeovers”. Cal was a little put off about it at first, but it’s become a very healing activity for him, and he can tell Jas appreciates his participation 🫶

[hals-homo-blog]

hello. it’s me, your husband, apparently. can you give me your credit card information.

“Of course, Pookie! Here you go!”

If you exclude any LGBTQ+ identities or community’s, believe in AI ‘art’, are ableist, are racist, are sexist, believe pedo behaviour is acceptable or believe in the rights of MAPs, believe in the rights, or ideologies, of Zoos (and I do not mean the fun animal park kind)

You can do me a solid, and Unfollow me right now!

Rowan drawing real

OMG

ALISTAIR THATS INCREDIBLE

thank you so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

brb passing away (positively) rn ✌️

[artgletic]

You absolutely without a doubt have one of my favorite Michaels I’ve ever seen!

The way you draw him reminds me a bit of both Freaky Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog and Jervis Tetch from Batman the Animated Series, and I absolutely adore that!

You also have such a cool way of drawing his hair! The curls are so detailed and confounding and almost looks like a living thing- it’s such a cool effect!

AAAAA AAAAAA THANK YOU 💛💛💛💛💛 i had never heard of either of those characters until now but i did some reading!!

[acacia-may]

Hello there, friend! Thank you so much for your ask, and thank you for being patient. I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond to you.

A character that you know that reminds me of you:

You remind me of Gordon from Black Clover because even though you're a little quiet, you are the world's biggest cheerleader and are always so encouraging and supportive of your friends. You are a truly kind person, and I'm so humbled by and appreciative of all of the support you've shown me and my silly little stories. I imagine that Gordon would be a lot like you in a modern AU if any of his friends wrote fics--just quietly kudos-ing, bookmarking, and/or reading every one of them with the occasional comments to show support and encouragement. Gordon might be an out-of-the-box pick but he has always been one of my all-time favorite BC characters so I mean this is as a great compliment. You're such a sweetheart (just like him!) and I really appreciate you & all of your support! 💚

A character that you don't know (or at least that I don't know if you know 😅) that reminds me of you:

You also remind me of Olivia from Elena of Avalor because you're both so warm and encouraging. You both aspire to hone your own talents while always taking the time to encourage the talents of others (especially when they are a little insecure about their own abilities), and you're both very creative and kind! ^^ (I apologize for an ultra-specific reference you probably aren't familiar with, but every time I see your kudos or comments on my fics, I always feel a little bit like Mateo being so surprised and humbled by the fact Olivia admires his work so much & thinks so highly of his talents (alchemy in his case, but writing in mine). But you, just like Olivia, have such a great gift for really building up other people and encouraging them! Thank you so much for that & for being you, friend!)
