So like was thinking of a concept for an art project and I’ve been getting into a lot of the mlp infection au thingys.
So like-
Ninjago + infection au = this
Might make more on it later might not but for now here are just a few blorbs about this concept
-“The Devouring” as it’s called is a parasite created by the festering remains of the venom of the great devourer combined with a primal mineral of corruption from the dark island (overlord goop)
-takes a few years for the strain of disease to develop into its current stage (around season 11-12)
-the parasite rapidly distorts and morphs the victim’s body and envokes an insatiable hunger for anything. Be it organic or inorganic, the infected will consume anything they find
-only suspected cure is golden energy
-(note: the golden armor has been destroyed after the events of MotO and let’s just say Lloyd is indisposed)
Characters of note
Nya- Status: Alive
Jay- Status: Alive
Cole- Status: Alive..? (MIA)
Zane + Pixal- Status: Immune (nindroids are believed to not be susceptible to virus. [DANGER] Nindroids are at an increased risk of harm from infected for their inorganic material)
Garmadon- Status: Immune (prior exposure to both devourer venom and dark matter have rendered the effects of the devouring useless)
—
One of the cool things I’m think of for this au would be a garmadon redemption arc where he works with the remaining ninja to find a cure cause he’s sick of destiny ruining his family (he also realized how much he cared for Lloyd once he was gone.)
Perhaps survivalshipping? Maybe. Either way Vinny is gonna be in this and he’s gonna be a shockingly good survivalist in the apocalypse :D
My ass does NOT remember the blog names of all of my blorbos so if I forgot anyone, mb 🫠
Starting a chain!! With this quiz and this Picrew.
Tagging: @tuff-ponyboy @veggiesforpresident @sleeplessgreaser @fishfishfishfishfishfishfish1 @literallyhim0 @cadesblade @tigergirlpaya @arieshasbrainrot57 and anyone else who wants to do this.
Cole says something like this in the Dreamzzz crossover and it’s haunted my mind ever since. Cole what are you talking about. Destiny is most certainly NOT on your side
This is gonna be the next three days of my life and I’m so happy about it
do you happen to have a step by step of the froggies by chance? i am very bad at following textual instructions and i cant find anyone who might have done a step by step haha
@burakhovskys i can try to make a step by step post! it may be sort of long but definitely watch out for one as i'd be happy to further explain!!!
I wanted to read your au but then i realized that there's lava
Can you explain what's the au about?
Hya there!
This ask made me realize I’ve never really advertised my au here on tumblr aside from posting the chapter links.
EverHearth is a fanfiction written by me about a post seabound/pre crystalized au where Kai is turned into an elemental (like how Nya ‘became the sea’ in seabound) and shenanigans insue.
First thing I wanna clarify, that while Lavashipping (Cole and Kai) is a main focus in this story, I intend to have all of the main 6 addressed and be the focal point of their own subplots.
So here we go!
The main plot of the au take place in a period between the ending of seabound and the start of crystalized. The big change is that we’ve already had the year long time skip from the end of seabound and gotten Nya back, but what’s different this time is that the ninja weren’t cause stealing the forbidden scroll. So while the police are looking for who did it, we have a point in the story now between getting Nya back and the ninja getting arrested, thus pushing back the official start of the crystalized plot (which may or may not change in this au 👀)
Ok that’s the technical shit dealt with, now to the lore.
It’s been a few months since the team got Nya back, and with this strange period of peace in comparison to their normally hectic ninja schedule, the team takes the time to spend it together and start taking all sorts of jobs around the continent (at least until the next big bad comes along).
During this time, all six of the ninja kinda start taking time to unpack some of their issues.
Jay almost drowned when Wojira was on her rampage and it had pretty devastating effects on his health, (not to mention uncovered some traumatic memories with a certain Jinn)
Nya is still recovering from her extended stay in the sea, with many of her memories still disorganized and blurry. She’s mostly been trying to keep an eye out on Jay out of anxiety (cause we all know what happened last time). Unfortunately, the whole mess also uncovered some memories of a nasty Jinn for her too
(NOTE: In this AU, Jay and Nya are the only ones who remember the alternate timeline)
Zane has been avoiding his issues with the never realm and the forbidden scroll for a little over a year now, still stuck with the anxiety of using his powers in fear of somehow ‘loosing control’. At least he’s finally taking the time to reflect on everything that happened with that now!
Lloyd through the course of time from all the way back to the end of MotO up to present day has been looking for any sign of his father. Less-so out of some kind of desperation to get his dad back and more-so in the ‘I’m gonna find you, beat the crap out of you, and then forcefully trauma dump everything you’ve done to me onto you so amnesia or not you know just how shit of a person you are’ kind of way. But after loosing Nya and finally getting her back, Lloyd realized he shouldn’t waste time on people no longer in his life, and focus on who he still has.
And then we get to the two ‘stars’ of the show (cough the ones I smack with the ouch stick a few hundred more times than the others)
Kai and Cole don’t directly have any pressing issues popping up as the team travels around the continent, aside from recovering from the team’s split up and getting the water ninja back.
Maybe it’s because of the combination of the absence of other concerns and the intense emotional toll of gaining back a loved one that had yet to fade, but the two slowly began to confide in eachother.
Until, of course, when shit hits the fan.
THATS ALL IM SHARING HERE FOLKS! If you want to learn more, check out the fic on AO3!
I’ll probably make a post in the future going into more detail about the OC content I’ve added into the story (mostly world building, some power system additions, and some unique background characters)
