Thinking about how Arin and Oliver mirror each other.
How Arin has no powers and he feels useless because of it, meanwhile Oliver is basically a god and therefore has a lot of power.
Arin is afraid that he won't be good enough to help the team because he hasn't improved at all, and he thinks he's just a burden. Oliver on the other hand is terrified of hurting the others due to his immense power and because of how closely his power is tied to his darker side and the fact that he's the embodiment of evil.
Hell, even the fact that Oliver can't do spinjitzu meanwhile Arin's whole deal is that he taught himself spinjitzu.
I've been obsessing over these two for a few days now and I really just wanted to ramble about it real quick. Things like this also really make me want Arin to have a villain arc, or at the very least a moment of him choosing to do something not so heroic, because the idea of Oliver having to see an evil Arin makes me go crazy in the best way possible.
#wrote this post last night and i still like it so here you guys go#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#purified au#ninjago oliver#ninjago arin#depending on how things go in part 2#i may go off canon script a bit to give arin a villain arc for the au#because the potential for arin and oliver there is just so good#no promises though so don't get your hopes too high#one of the problems of making an au for something that's ongoing#is you never know which of your ideas you'll actually get to flesh out#and which ones you'll just have to scrap because they don't fit

It’s still so funny that Della & Penumbra get acknowledged as a couple years after the show ended in a short for Valentine’s Day

I should really post about Leo more so I'm just gonna ramble and info dump about him for a little bit
He grew up in Ninjago before the merge but has very little knowledge about the ninja. Obviously he knows who they are, but he was never too interested in them like most kids.
His powers manifested after the merge and he didn't actually become an elemental master until the merge happened
He didn't realize he had actual powers until Lloyd showed up and told him. He just assumed that every artist got the ability to manipulate the colors on a canvas after getting skilled enough.
He's not stupid btw, he just lacks a lot of confidence in himself which results in him doing mental gymnastics to explain certain things like him having powers.
One of the reasons he likes making art so much is because it's the one thing he actually feels confident in.
His favorite video game is Splatoon (or at least the Ninjago equivalent of Splatoon)
Also his main would be the Inkbrush
When training to become a ninja he asked Lloyd if he could have a giant paint brush as a weapon. Lloyd had to tell him that's not really a thing.
Leo still hasn't settled on a main weapon and tends to rely more on his powers. I think deep down he's hoping to find that giant paint brush he can use.
He is often the one in the group who questions why they're doing the crazy things that their doing. For example, he'd be the one to point out how crazy it is to jump into a fight with no preparations while the others say it's just what ninjas do.
There are times where Leo regrets being a ninja because it cannot be good for his anxiety, but at the same time it does wonders for his confidence.
He's actually very similar to Jay when it comes to the whole confidence issues thing. Maybe someday they'll get to meet and Jay can help him with those issues.
As of now, Leo doesn't really have a main mentor like the other kids. Lloyd is sort of the main one teaching him, but Nya helps out too since his powers work a lot like hydrokinesis.
Speaking of the other kids, Leo isn't super close with any of them since he's a bit of a loner.
He's probably the most friendly with Arin. Arin likes info dumping about the ninja and then being surprised when Leo doesn't know what he's talking about.
Leo thinks Sora is really cool and I feel like they would bond over being child prodigies (Sora with her tech and Leo with his art) but for the most part they'd keep to themselves.
Leo is kinda scared of Wyldfyre since she's so... well, wild. Leo probably thinks she'd try to bite him (which she probably would)
That's sort of everything I feel like rambling about for now. I feel bad that I haven't done more stuff with Leo because I do like him a lot, I just get sidetracked by so many other things. Maybe when season 2 comes out I'll make more content with him since he doesn't even join the team until after season 1, so yeah.
#self reblog#i was working on leo's ref for artfight and it made me start thinking about him again#so i wanted to reblog this since leo is on my brain now

I find it so interesting how so many people seem to have different interpretations for how old Cinder is supposed to be (which to be fair the show doesn't really tell us so I don't blame people) And now I'm curious what the general opinion is
#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#polls#ninjago cinder#i tried to base the options on opinions i've seen#like the reason i made the old man option is because when i see people call him an old man#they don't give a specific number to how old he is other than old#same thing applies for the teenager option#it feels like we're back to the days of everyone theorizing over the ninja's ages#except now it's just with one guy lol#or maybe i'm the only one who cares about this idk

Just had a thought that I wanna share with everyone
Arin singing "Waiting on a Miracle" from Encanto
Ok that's my thought :)
#random ramblings#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago arin#seriously though i feel like that song fits him really well#especially in season 2 where he's upset that he doesn't have elemental powers like everyone else

Nya's design for my Scorched Au. Also this is my first time drawing Nya with her short hair so that's neat!
Nya's pretty important in this au. With Kai off doing his own thing, Nya ends up training to be a ninja/master of water WAY before she does so in canon since Wu thinks her abilities will be very useful. Which makes sense since you know, Kai is the master of fire. Having a master of water to deal with him would be pretty useful.
Although most of the time when fighting, Nya is trying her best to reason with Kai since she thinks if anyone can talk him down it's her. And while it's true that Nya's really the only one left that Kai cares about, he also sees the fact that Wu started training Nya as a way of replacing him which does not help his mindset at all.
Overall, it's complicated between these two. Obviously Nya doesn't like seeing all these places getting burnt down in Kai's path, but she also doesn't want to lose her brother. Meanwhile Kai doesn't want to hurt his sister, but he also wants to prove that he's good enough to be the Green Ninja so badly that he will burn down anything and anyone standing in his way.
Also bonus drawing of Kai seeing Nya as the water ninja for the first time:
#ninjago#lego ninjago#my art#scorched au#nya smith#nya jiang#kai smith#kai jiang#i had this au on the brain again and figured i should work on some character designs#also took all of my willpower not to make nya's gi grey#since i'm not a huge fan of her red/crimson/whatever you wanna call it colored gis#but since this takes place so early on it made sense#and also her wearing red also helps add to the whole thing of kai thinking she replaced him#since now she has his color#idk it just made sense to me#i still have one other major character i need to design for this au#but i won't say who that is just yet#it's a secret you guys will have to wait and see

It's been quite a while since I've made one of my silly Splatfest polls, and with Springfest finishing up, it got me thinking about what a potential Summer themed Splatfest would look like, and I think I came up with a fun idea
Who knows, maybe I'll end up accidentally predicting this one like I did for the Halloween Splatfest, you know if they actually do a Summer themed Splatfest

Top-Tier Villain Motivations
They will be safe. It doesn't matter who else or what else burns as long as They will be safe.
I will be safe. The hunger and the cold will never touch me again.
Fuck any bitch who's prettier(/cooler/better-liked/better at making dumplings) than me.
Yes, Master
Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. LOVE ME!
I know the terrible things these so-called "heroes" will do if I don't stop them (<- is absolutely wrong)
I don't want a better future, I want a better past!
No other way to get performance art funded these days

New Dragonblood chapter is up on my ao3! There was an ever so slight delay with this one since I had some running to do, but I got it posted and that's what matters. I'm gonna try to keep posting new chapters on Wednesday, which I sort of forgot to mention before (At least I think I forgot to mention it I don't remember)

I think what might be the funniest thing about this whole savemyboycole situation, apart from it turning into a copypasta, is that Cole still isnt, like, canonically gay. Its all still subtextual. Sure that subtext is about as subtle as a fire alarm, but there has never been any explicit confirmations that Cole and Geo are canon.
Like, most of the time homophobes go the route of simply denying or ignoring the subtext (as theyve apparently been doing for a decade, if they think Cole has been straight this whole time). But Cole and Geo are so incredibly gay that even the homophobes cant deny it. Im obsessed. I love it here.
