🚨⚠️Attention Ninjago Fandom⚠️🚨
We are approaching lever bonfire festival season. Be sure to gather all your spare levers so that they may be burned, and evil can have no leverage over our hearts!
Let's keep the Geckle tradition going, folks!

@destinysbounty on the virtues shorts
(since, you know, wu was the one who set things up so that zane would have to see the ice emperor and then give up an arm right after)

Was rewatching Virtues of Spinjitzu today and I was instantly reminded of how much I love Kai and Jay's dynamic
They kickstarted the entire plot of the short because Wu told them to meditate on the Virtues of Spinjitzu and these mfs somehow ended up in a brick breaking competition for the last cookie lmao (AuDHD and ADHD solidarity istg)
Also did anybody else find it HILARIOUSLY ironic that the most infamous liars/actors on the team ended up in the honesty challenge together?
(Especially since they were just trying to lie to Master Wu's face about the brick breaking competition? Like WOW lol)
I also loved how Kai can actually juggle like he told the Ice Emperor and was pushing for that, but still had to throw in ventriloquism for Jay just for the heck of it (how is one man always so smart and so dumb at the same time)
But I just love that short in general too
Everybody's character feels so spot-on and fun to watch
And the virtue chosen for each of them is really fitting too which probably contributes to said characterization, and the interactions are just wonderful and the fight scenes are always a delight to watch, as well as the animation in general-
Just- 🤩🤩🤩
I need to rewatch it more often tbh (It makes me so happy 😭😭)

When did Kai learn this? This would be so helpful in the actual series.

still haven't moved on from zane in this episode (aka I hit tag limit again and am unhappy about it)
#alek insanity#not gonna main tag this but prepare for a tiny rant#home is actually really good zane characterization and its super cool to me how it holds up to this day#s1 characterization is very specific to me because the behaviors displayed by the ninja there (mostly) isnt bc thats how they really are but#its due to societal pressure. cole originally being more 'stone faced tough guy' -> 'down to earth' -> 'really sensible easy to talk to guy'#is because hes always been a sensitive guy... but he felt he couldnt express that true version of himself. thats the whole thing behind his#true potential. jay going from s1 -> s6 -> now is less of societal pressure and more teenager figuring himself out but it still applies. ish#seeing how much the ninja have changed or grown from then to now is amazing because back then they all wore masks. they didnt know each#other all that well. but theyve gained that comfortability with each other and also have grown and matured as people#some seasons / eps characterization for certain people im not a fan of (lloyds random misogyny arc in s13) but i mean the overall trend here#and then there is zane. zane in home was pretty dead on to how he behaves now (at least... when it comes to his faults?) and i dont want to#say people skim over that but i am the sf proclaimed n1 s1e2 fan and overthink every scene. zane's early characterization is some of my fav#for him period. he also goes through a ton of traumatic stuff and a ton of bad writing bouts but why he acts so 'weird' or 'distant' has#always been a thread sewn in. he changed so much he stayed the same in a way... if that makes sense. -> ohhh the ninja get mail and he#doesnt? oh he has no family? he quite literally walks away from that situation. oh the ninja are yelling in his face and asking whats wrong#with him? he literally walks away from that situation. he says its to follow the falcon but seeing how he apologized to them by not only#baking a ton of pies (cough... the food fight is what led to him leaving at first) but he also found them a whole entire new house.#zane is unable to truly value what he does for others. insert him in s11 saying he 'tried' to fufill his goal of protecting others.#everything he has ever done still isnt good enough. then the ninja tried to apologize and he didnt really... let them.#that one post about characters putting on facades and that facade being how people really see them. even in fandom. thats zane to me#the guy who lies about being upset and avoids his problems ran away after being yelled at? and he said he wasnt really mad? that is a lie!!#him being a ~360 when it comes to his character development is neat to me because he never hid behind a mask in the same way the others did#cole wanting to seem tough vs being really soft? kai wanting approval so bad he starts being selfish? kai isnt selfish usually!#he is self centered but that is a whole different thing. just wanting to fit in and breaking free of that. zane's true potential came in the#form of 'i finally know why i am not normal' instead of 'i will be my true self'. zane never pretended to not be weird#(instert book) states he literally didnt know why people got mad at him. he just existed and it was 'wrong'. the mask he hid behind was#avoidance. he was pretty open about how he actually was (most of the time). when he was upset he would audibly sigh and walk away lol#but for him saying he wasnt upset / saddened by the ninja... it felt like a moment of selflessness. if that makes sense. he blamed himself#for the monestary burning down. so he didnt deserve the apologies (ish) in the virtues of spinjitzu zane is shown as the generous one iirc#he puts the needs of others over his own. he will bear whatever burden he needs if others are happy. at that same time he doesnt allow

Okay, I’ve posted this clip from Virtues of Spinjitzu before BUT something just occurred to me so naturally I have to talk about it.
This is the clip I’m talking about. Last time I talked about this clip, I mentioned that since Zane was the Ice Emperor, it doesn’t make sense for Kai and Jay to act like he was pretending to be the Ice Emperor (granted, Jay does also say "You're the Ice Emperor!" but my point stands).
It occurred to me maybe 15 minutes ago that Kai saying "Why are you pretending to be the Ice Emperor again?" is indicative of denial that Zane was ever the Ice Emperor in the first place, and, by extension, trauma from that specific event happening (and given he was literally incapable of using his powers or the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu at the time of Zane's banishment, it doesn't surprise me that he'd have trauma associated with Zane's banishment and subsequent rule over the Never-Realm).
Idk. Analyzing Ninjago is super interesting to me lol

Hey, anybody remember that scene in Season 3 Episode 6 of Ninjago, "Codename: Arcturus" where Kai broke one of the chains and cuffs suspending him in midair under a rocket with his bare hands/just by pulling on it? Anybody?

The difference in the actual Ice Emperor and the Virtues of Spinjitzu Ice Emperor is actually pretty interesting. You could make an argument that the writers just couldn’t keep their writing consistent, but honestly, I think it was a good choice.
The entire gauntlet was a creation of Wu. Everything else there, he experienced in some capacity, except the Never-Realm. That is how he imagined the Ice Emperor because he can’t imagine Zane as the coldhearted, genocidal emperor he was. He couldn’t think of a Zane so lethargic that he only wakes up when absolutely necessary. He thinks of the Zane who loves to pretend he’s a detective or the Zane who followed a bird because it danced. He makes him more aligned with Zane’s personality. Like, that’s if Zane downloaded thousands of terabytes of books and movies on emperors to prepare for the role.
Anyways this is why I think think Virtues of Spinjitzu is still consistent to the Ice Emperor’s character, because it wasn’t him in the first place.
Similarly, in Return of the Ice Emperor, we pretty much know Zane’s locked those memories away. (Referencing the Quest for Lost Powers again.) The Ice Emperor is still in there, but he can’t remember how to act as the Emperor. He’s just repeating fragmented parts of the Emperor. Like, “There is no Zane.” or by asking Vex to take Ronin to the dungeon. It’s just Zane’s mind putting together the small fragments of what it has to be him.
Been hyperfixed on this silly little guy for a while and just like talking about him.

What would Pixal's virtue be if she was featured in 'The Virtues of Spinjitzu' shorts?
ooo! That is an interesting question. My first instinct is to say 'productivity' like a sort of 'don't put off until tomorrow' moral, because we all know Pixal is the queen of proactive planning.
