If you don’t mind answering, can you share a bit about ninjago and why you like it? I see a lot of your posts but I’ve never heard of it before you.

Yeah sure!

Ninjago is a lego show that aired way back in January 2011 (I was 9!) about these lil dudes that get recruited to become ninja. Its writing is obviously a little juvenile as it is aimed for younger audiences, but despite that it has a fairly big following? I grew up watching the show and I ended up rewatching/catching up in january of this year, and i did not expect to become obsessed 😭

I personally think the characters and dynamics are enjoyable, and the show makes me laugh. But also, while not having the most insane complicated plots, it just feels fun, and the stories are reminiscent of what a kid playing with their lego toys would make and enjoy. Plots change, lore gets retcon, there’s a general feeling of “okay but is it cool??” that rules over the story if that makes sense. Like as a kid, I was obsessed with this show and I can see why.

But as an adult, I think a big thing for me is again the character dynamics though. They’re always great in every season and I love watching them do silly little things in the episodes, like Zane trying to catch museum items as Jay carelessly throws things around , or Kai showing off his action figure of himself to Cole and Zane in the background , or the cute banter😭🙏 it just adds something special. i literally cant pick a fave bc they are allll soooo good. they all feel like tangible friendships to me idk. (altho im very biased towards the relationship between kai, nya, and lloyd. im a sucker for sibligism)

And this mostly happened from joining the fandom on social media but i like Rotating them in my mind, putting them in scenarios and taking what the show offers and coming up with something new whether it be a Worldbuilding headcanons or fancomic or just a random blurb of text analyzing a scene, which i think is half the fun in a fandom lol. Honestly the show even does this itself bc it plays around with its own worldbuilding like playdough and adds some new lore esch season but i kinda like it 😭 kind of a neat contrast to other shows where all the lore and worldbuilding has been mostly figured out from the start, where here you’re watching it happen in real time

So yeah i could probably say more but i think that gets the point 🧐 i unironically like this show a lot🤒

no fucking way

A h-heartfelt reunion..?

Bonus

not that we didn't already Know belos was full of shit, but it's even funnier knowing the titan was still alive the whole time and probably judging him

The FNAF Mikes and Vanessas watch Immortal and restless

I think one of the biggest tragedies of Laios & Falin and their relationship is how much his actions impact her life. But like. Specifically how much they WOULDN’T impact her life as much if they weren’t both stuck in such a shitty abusive situation.

This part of the Falin-tries-makeup daydream hour comic is what got me thinking about it again because truly it just... it seems like such a like an offhand comment that I'm sure Laios didn't mean to be cruel or anything. That's just like. A little kid not thinking about what they are saying. ESPECIALLY when the kid in question is Laios.

But man they depended on each other SO much as kids. Too much. It really feels like they didn't have any other source of positive reinforcement, or anyone else to share themselves with. So of course an offhand comment like that has a huge impact on Falin.

Or this little bit from one of the flashbacks:

This tears me apart. Do you think it tears him apart to think about? I think it does. I think Laios holds every small failure to care for Falin against himself.

And then there's the Bigger stuff. The way that him coping with his own trauma ended up impacting her.

Like his interest in monsters. Like him going to find a ghost, and accidentally revealing Falin's magic to the whole village in the process.

Like him needing to leave. And leaving her behind.

He shaped her life so much, and he carries so much guilt for it. And again, there should have been other people there to help. The same things that made Laios need to leave home are the things that made his leaving so hard on Falin. She ate alone after that. She shouldn't have had to eat alone just because Laios wasn't there.

She was 9 when he left for school, and he was 11.

Nine. And Laios feels like he failed her because he didn't stand by her through this better. As an eleven year old.

Both of these kids deserved so much better from the world.

Caine can get scary… so scary in fact that he breaks panel structure and gives himself mood lighting.

[images ID: three images of a comic titled "one must imagine sisyphus happy" by druid-for-hire. it is a visual narrative beginning with someone with wrist pain (depicted by bright orange nerves) working at a drafting table. the reader is shown the same wrist as the person uses it for many everyday tasks such as carrying a grocery basket, pushing elevator buttons, typing, and doing dishes, until the pain dissolves all the panels into chaos. the person then performs several physical therapy exercises until the pain subsides. they sit back down at a desk with their laptop, sigh, and begin typing. a small spark of pain reappears. end id]

a fun little piece i made during the semester and submitted into our school comic anthology! (which you can buy at the Static Fish table at MoCCAFest in NYC ;] ). it's about artists and injury

mfw i decide to remake a comic from 8 years ago

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!

(Loud noises don't wake her up usually.)

Artist note: I’m so proud of this :))) I know it’s a lot of dialogue and reading, but dialogue is grueling work for me. I’m glad with the art and for the amount of pages I made in such a relatively short time span -w- page 5 was super fun to work on. A lot of blood, sweat, and hours here... :) The backgrounds were a big bore tbh, but I finished them! Yippie!

rot and ruin

this was heavily inspired by thatkorka's lovely fic! please check it out, it's such a good take on Gale's arc :')
