hi i was the one who asked ab the character match up thing but i also have a request!
could you write headcanons of being best friends with lloyd garmadon (and a slight unaddressed undertone of them having crushes on each other maybe)
like they’re really dumb and make fun of each other all the time but would die for each other easily and they have starfarrer marathons and play video games together and all that junk
totally fine if not though!! ⭐️🌟
Absolutely!!
Ninjago - Being Lloyd’s Best Friend (?) ;)
You guys met when he was on a mission
The ninjas were on the hunt for an ancient magical artifact, which you just happened to remember finding as a child
You guided them through the wilderness, secretly doubting your own navigational skills
That and the fact that you weren’t sure it was even there anymore made you obviously anxious
Lloyd, who was following the closest behind you, noticed the way you chewed your cheek and wiggled your fingers
You locked eyes once, and the look he gave you was the gentlest, most trusting yet understanding look you’d ever seen
Your anxiety melted away as you gazed into his deep green eyes
Then, realizing you were staring, you giggled awkwardly and apologized
That was how your very first conversation began
Lloyd was just trying to keep you calm so you could focus, but he completely forgot his goal when you mentioned Starfarer
β€œYou like Starfarer?”
β€œYeah, haha. I know it’s a little childish—”
β€œI love Starfarer!”
β€œNo kidding?!”
Honestly, you had no idea where you were at that point
You were just taking random turns while you gushed about the series
(Much to the annoyance of the others following close behind)
By some miracle, you eventually found the artifact
On the way back, Lloyd explained what it was and what he needed it for
You thought he was so cool
You demanded to have him update you when the mission was completed
You exchanged numbers before finally departing
Less than five minutes after he left, you guys were already texting up a storm
You found out you actually had much more in common than being Starfarer fans; for one, you both loved video games
You compared which games you’d played and which you hadn’t, making vague promises to get together and play the ones you hadn’t
Needless to say, you guys text a lot
Lloyd is frequently gone on missions, but he always keeps his phone nearby
Calling you is his favorite way to pass the time when traveling
You keep him updated on more worldly matters, like when a new Starfarer comic is going to be released
He tells you about his fantastic adventures in return
Secretly, you both think to yourselves as the other speaks: Man, they’re the coolest person in the whole world…
Lloyd tries to visit whenever he can
Playing video games and goofing off with you always makes his day
He’ll lie awake at night recollecting your jokes and bursting into laughter all over again
You lie awake at night envisioning him on his missions, your heart racing as you picture him escaping peril time and time again
So, when one of you texts the other late at night, you’re both awake anyway
Your late night texts are different from daytime texts
You talk about deeper things: life, death, your pasts, anything and everything
You don’t really do this when you meet up; no, that time is reserved for teasing and goofing off ONLY
But you both sort of wish you did talk like that in real life, though neither of you bring it up
You just push down that stirring in your chests when you sit just a bit too close, or when you stare for half a second too long at your friend’s face
A rather pleasing face…
anYWAY you guys also share a huge sweet tooth
Snacks are a must whenever you hang out
And if you bake… oh man
You will immediately become Lloyd’s favorite cook
Even if you’re nowhere near Cole’s or Zane’s level, Lloyd will stand by his opinion that your goodies are better than theirs
You guys would ABSOLUTELY go to fan conventions together
Matching cosplays!!
If you cosplay a ship, you’ll awkwardly agree to do cute poses together when people want a picture
Again, just push down that stirring in your chest when you hold each other…
The other ninjas don’t tease Lloyd about you being his s/o
Mostly because they aren’t sure if you guys are actually dating or what
Lloyd doesn’t notice their skepticism though, he’s too focused on being silly with you :)
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading! And thank you anon for the request :) take care guys <33

I'm aware no one asked, but I do want to bring up the question of "you gave the resource and instructions, but I don't have a sewing machine so I can't make this!"
A lot of my sewing is done by hand, and often wonderfully portable! When I'm on campus, I have a small pouch with some materials and tools on hand for long breaks, let's have a look.
Tumblr media
These are the very basics I always carry
-my threads, and a cake of beeswax if I'm bringing cotton, silk or linen threads. I enjoy using cotton threads if only because polyester thread, being completely synthetic is not my jam. These are from GΓΌtermann, the orange border denotes cotton thread, the pale yellow is polyester (which I'm using only because the store is all out of white cotton threads), and not pictured is bright yellow for linen and light blue for silk. I believe green is for top stitch, gray for upholstery; but I may be wrong.
-some thimbles, an absolute necessity. Depending on the types of stitching, you may need more than one. The black one you see is actually a leather sashiko thimble which is worn like this:
Tumblr media
-needles! I have them in little polypropylene tubes, sorted by type and function. One holds my wee tiny no. 10 sharps, one holds my sashiko needles and the last holds some thicker needles to repair my father's workwear. You can use small glass tubes with cork caps, but I use what I have for now.
-a seam ripper. Little guy often goes missing, so I also own a ring cutter, which is a ring you wear on your index finger on your non-dominant hand to cut threads with.
-small scissors. These came out of a first aid kit I used to carry, but their small and wonderfully portable size makes it easy to carry, and is quite sharp - it's meant cut the gauze dressing for your wound quite cleanly after all.
Bonus mentions to my two cards of sashiko threads, and the little needle threader that I have but never use.
You may want to carry fabric marking supplies like a small pencil and tailor's chalk, but I often leave them out because I tend to cut my fabric at home. I don't often carry pins with me unless I think I need it, so that's also something you can consider.

Thinking journal for season 12 Prime Empire 😎😎😎 (1/2)
So, I'm keeping this during all of season 12 to put down my thoughts as they appear. It's mostly for not ranting every single time a new episode comes out so please don't mind me too much πŸ˜… I'm following the English release so please no spoilers πŸ˜™
I'm gonna split it in two, since apparently the season has 16 episodes. So this is the first part, enjoy my rambling πŸ’œπŸ’œ
It's the 30th of March and here we go!
IN GENERAL
I'm so, SO HAPPY, we have a theme for this season. For my experience apparently silly themes (tech ninja, ghosts, pirates) had brought very surprising results so I'm SO DOWN FOR THIS 😍😍
It seems that they fixed the mood, there is a specific mystery and a specific mission to follow. I like it too
THE NEW WHIP IS DOPE AS ALWAYS
I'm really glad there are plenty of references to past episodes, comebacks are my jam
The only thing that still kinda bothers me is the length of the episodes. It's not all bad, I just think the 20 minutes format was better. One thing is splitting 20 in 10 minutes, another is putting together 11 minutes of important stuff. Doesn't bother me too much, I just wish there was more time for my favorite show πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTER PRIME EMPIRE?
Is it normal for me to feel really old after they made the "what is a VCR?" joke? Like, I'm a uni student so still pretty young, but I lived through the transition from that to the DVD so... eh, I laughed anywayπŸ‘΅
Jay is smart, I really believe he is. Yet I saw him putting a possibly corrupted motherboard into a legendary game randomly found into a villain's lair, and I was like "Of course he did that, I love you you dumb*ss" raising my glass of juice towards him 😎
Okay, I'm down for this Lloyd. I'm down for a season with Lloyd being creeped out just because, being silly, just a ninja helping his friends and- (remembers there's a Harumi avatar in the sets) I'M NOT READY
The ending was actually nicely creepy. Cool nods in approval
DYER ISLAND
THAT INTRO THOUGH, THAT WAS EPIC! Love the techno sounds, love the clear gaming connection, I rate it 10/HECK YEAH LONG LIVE THE FOLD
I was scared about how the shorts were supposed to play along with the season, but it looks fine so far with the mechanic and later for Scott. Good πŸ‘
Ah, Fist to Face, that game came all over from the nostalgic season 1. That's what I'm talking about 😎
So they just associated that Unagami is probably Dyer's avatar like that? Like sure, I thought about it, but it looks a little rushed. Mm, I wonder if there's something more behind it?
LEVEL 13
Cyrus Borg is back and he TALKS!!! Finally, he gets some action! Go tech dad!
I'm so happy he referenced the Digiverse, I would have been very disappointed if he hadn't. Time flies Borg...
Not gonna lie, I thought the next to follow up Jay's spot as best in videigames was going to be Kai or Lloyd. It's not disappointing though, since pretty much all the ninja have been seen playing, and to be honest I like the implication that Cole and Jay probably played a lot together. As bruiseshipping or as BrOTP, I still love them together no matter what πŸ’™πŸ–€πŸ’™πŸ–€
Ooooohhhhh, that's why Zane and Pixal are left behind. It makes sense, sure, but I don't understand the implication of the plan: they saw Dyer entering Prime Empire, so why looking for him in real life? Mm, maybe they will investigate about his life and what happened... PIXANE ON THE CASE 😍
Already saw Prime Empire's world in the shorts, of course it looks DOPE, still very happy to finally being there!
SUPERSTAR ROCKIN' JAY
I don't know why, but Kai questioning the double jump made me laugh. Also poor him, he just got his powers back from last season and they're already gone again πŸ˜‚
And of course. Them. Wow. It must be the most amazing and CURSED thing I've ever seen so far, the League of Jay 🀯 I'm so happy they exist and they freaking use past seasons' suits!!! Awesome!!! Never thought I was going to see Jay's old plain haircut again... yeah, he got better with the curly one, but I'm feeling nostalgic πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
Their nick are histerical omg, Jaybird, Dee-Jay, Jaywalkin, I'm loving this way more than I should πŸ˜‚ Also they freaking screamed "JAY-NJA GOO!!!" and I don't know what to do with that, it's too great for me to comprehend πŸ‘πŸ‘
And then, THIS happened:
Tumblr media
Your Honor, I would like to confirm this as THE MOST SECRET DREAM I'VE EVER HAD FOR THIS SHOW FINALLY COMING TRUE!!! A NINJA FROM NINJAGO DOING THE NARUTO RUN!!! 🀯🀯🀯 Done, I'm done, conclude the season, this is more than enough for me 😍
First Kai gets hit and fall from a building, DYING, then Lloyd gets desperate for his brother (MY BROTP πŸ’šβ€πŸ’šβ€), then Kai respawns and Lloyd looks so relieved and Kai is all panting while slowly realizing it's a game and MY HEART CAN'T HANDLE THIS MUCH OKAY???
As a very passionate Kai fangirl I always expect the cringy moment, it really is inevitable for my favorite hothead. I love that idiot so much it's unbelievable, even if it's an absolute and costant suffering πŸ˜… Holy Garmadon it was painful seeing his VERY slow realization that in this game you only have four lives
... SO HE HAS ONE NOW!?! NINJAGO CREW YOU ALREADY KILLED ZANE, NYA AND LLOYD ONCE AT THE END OF A SEASON, DON'T YOU DARE PLAY WITH ME AGAIN 😱😱😱
Okay, I did not expect to hear about Mr. Cuddly Wamp ever again since Hands of Time and BOY if I'm happy it was actually a password, I love this show πŸ˜‚
SCOTT FINALLY!!! YESS!!! 😍😍😍
Okay, for as long as it is not debunked, I will hold onto the Scott is Jay's brother/twin theory. I'm sorry but: his jacket has dragons AND lightnings on it, they have very similar skin in avatar mode, he said he was waiting for him in the short, he could very well have his same hair under cap and hoodie and he's a mechanic too. I know, I know, they could have the same skin because Scott helped him for the avatar, and there might be shadier reason behind the 'I was waiting for you' thing, and there are tons of good mechanics in Ninjago... STILL HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE??? 😍
SCOTT HAS ONE LIFE POINT TOO??? NO! NOOO!!! NOOOOOOO!!! Don't you dare appear and steal my heart only to die at the end of the season, come on!! 😭
So for now it seems like he just wants to survive. Can we actually confirm he's an avatar and not an NPC? I mean he could be, but I don't see the point of an NPC self aware of his life points. Idk, maybe I'm overthinking this πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
Lol, Kai is the only one weirded out by the Jay-con all around him. Probably because he hasn't heard from his fans since Skybound πŸ˜… (I'M STILL HERE MY FLAME BABE, ILY ❀❀❀)
And in all of his glory, freaking Superstar Rockin' Jay!!! 😎😎 Okay, I loved the design since the first time I saw it, but it looks possibly even better in the show 😍😍😍 And Jay looks absolutely adorable in it, and he's got a guitar, and he was waiting for his friends, and he hugs them (I'm weak for LEGO hugs for some reason) and he is so happy and AAAHHH πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™
I'm very curious about how Scott will play into the situation, clearly he will provide some kind of insight about Prime Empire. I can't wait to know more about him!! 😍
I AM OKINO
I did not expect this when I saw this Okino guy in the trailer... and I'm so happy I was surprised, I love him πŸ‘Œ
And he's voiced by Alessandro Juliani?? HECK YEAH!!! With all the hype about the DnD 13th season, and consequentially the knight theme, I really miss Nexo Knights and having Aaron's VA around makes me happy... any hope to have Giles Panton as well? I miss Clay the most πŸ’™πŸ’™
This is what I'm talking about, the game theme needs this stuff! I was already happy to see life points, double jumps and respawns, but this? The NPC guide? Awesome πŸ‘ It's nice to see the take on the matter, the guide seeing so many players getting killed, first because they did not listen, then because they were actually just unlucky. The touchy matter I always expect watching Ninjago πŸ‘πŸ‘
At least I THINK he's an NPC? For now I don't really see a way of knowing, and it doesn't look like it matters. He didn't show life points so maybe? Does this mean he can't die? I have questions people
Which brings me to the cube thingies. That's what happens to the dead players? I mean, I would understand if they just become pixels, but there's also the drone that takes the datas every time. Idk, feels like there's more behind it. And honestly? It looks like great material for angst, like one of the ninja dies but then they discover they just need to get where Unagami stores all of the players! I hope it's something like this!
Tumblr media
They designs of the players are really cool, I already saw them in the other episodes, but seeing them this close just confirmed it. Between this and Jay's awesome avatar, I see lots of great cosplay ideas coming 😍 I wonder when will Kai and Lloyd use their avatars, and why would they since I'm guessing Jay did for disguise and to distinguish himself from his fans
PLEASE TELL ME WE'LL SEE SCOTT SOON, I ALREADY MISS HIM!!! πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™ I have too many theories about that tech dude, I'm so excited about who he might turn out to be!
I was a little skeptical about the new ninja suits, but seeing them in the show convinced me, very cool! Especially on Nya πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
THE GLITCH
Alright, Okino is indeed an NPC. Cool the fact that at first he could not understand the fact that he was in a game, but when reality changed he was forced to. Welcome into the crew! πŸ˜™
I'm kinda worried about it though, either they will shut down the game and he will stay inside or he will sacrifice for them. He's a very loyal samurai, I can see that happening and I'm SCARED
I WAS SWEATING BULLETS AT THE AMBUSH!!! I 100% saw it coming, we all freaking saw it coming, even the ninja did but where like 'we can walk and die or we can risk and die so might as well'. But still, my babies DYING and respawning so fast was not pretty 😱😱
Nya got the scariest death until now in my opinion, holy Garmadon Dyer DOES have a twisted mind...
Seeing Kai so scared of being in a new situation and with one HP reminds me A LOT of the Digiverse, and that's actually a nice touch. Give him a cellphone, hothead is a social media expert, but put him in a game and... huuhhh... πŸ˜…
Have I mentioned I love the ninja's new emoji masks??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BECAUSE I DO!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
So Unagami knows about them trying to stop him and he sent the rat people because of it. Considering how little we know about this guy, I'm wondering what we are about to discover
Alright, going to the next challenge, very curious about this adventure. So... beware of the rats, ninja? Still not sure what I think about the rats πŸ˜…
THE CLIFFS OF HYSTERIA
I would like to say Okino is the edgiest character of the show I've ever seen... but I've seen MORRO. But still poor guy, he got a case of the Matrix
Oooohhhh, the major question in videogames: better go grinding for more money to get the better stuff but while losing lots of time, or get the least expensive just to go on with the story but definitely risking to lose lives?
Ah there we go, so the energy cubes mean something! Also reference to the Sushimi guy of the set (gosh that name, I can't πŸ˜‚). So do people actually die in Prime Empire or they are just kidnapped kinda? Can the ninja just bring back? ANGST POTENTIAL
Cole please don't die please don't die please don't die for the love of Garmadon please don't die somebody help-
HOLY FSM KAI I MEANT HELP FROM SOMEONE WITH MORE THAN ONE LIFE DON'T DO THAT BE CAREFUL PLEASE I FREAKING LOVE YOU YOU RECKLESS HOTHEAD ❀❀❀
Nya giving Kai a sweet look after seeing her brother is okay, that's what I live for 😍
So apparently Unagami is trying to build some kind of device using the energy cubes of the dead players (sounds kinda creepy like this 😱) to create some kind of portal? To Ninjago? I don't understand, if Unagami is Milton Dyer then why this? Just to bring his army and conquer? I mean I guess, sounds a little simple though. Then again, if it turns out it's not Dyer, it could be Unagami wanting to be real and get into his creator's world? Mm...
I like the message, having the ability to choose your own path. Very fitting for a game themed season, I hope it gets explored even more!
More for the "I love the ninja emoji masks of this season"'s compilation πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THE MAZE OF THE RED DRAGON
Duuuude, Jay being good at mazes comes all the way from Possession, the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master! 😍 ... or maybe I just rewatch this show too much... could be both really πŸ˜…
Unagami is NASTY!
Confirmed the thing about going into the real world, what scares me is how much powers Unagami seems to actually possess. Like, can he do the block thingy whenever he wants? Just straight up pause and do whatever? Wow...
Jay being extra 😎
Tumblr media
I mean, of course he is, he's got better statics! πŸ˜‚ I like how he seems so focused and in charge, I still hope we see more of him... and Scott... WHERE IS SCOTT???
I love dragons, this metal one is cute 😍
So now we have two ronin: a samurai looking for a path on his own in a digital world... and a shady guy named Ronin πŸ˜› Total respect for Okino, he really showed the values he believes in. No matter he was programmed his way, I hope he finds what he's looking for. Better come back for the final battle!
One Keytana down, two more to go. I know one is the price of the race, while the last one... I don't really know.
More of the masks because I love them πŸ˜‚ Here we have Vegeta Lloyd and Kawai Cole ✌✌

Oh shit someone actually tagged me! My signal came through and alerted me that @shock-tastic tagged me in the Get to know me meme, its 4 am and I was getting ready to sleep but I know by the time I get up I will be unable to post so lets get going shall we?
Top 3 Ships:
I ain't got nothing to hide its all laid bare for you guys to see have fun!
Futureshipping(Cyrus Borg x Acronix) - I am saying it now Acronix really deserved redemption, StarFakys introduced me to this endearing ship back in September and I fell HARD.
Cyrus showing Acronix the right way and leading him into a much better future then one of being another puppet in his brothers plans. In fanon, these two are soft and loving towards one another, when they aren't being dorks they can be found always near one another, helping each other through trauma of their pasts and again guiding to a better Future. Also again utter Technology inclined dorks.
Coppernauts(Benny x Badcop/Goodcop)- I just like the idea that Benny would be able to get the Cops out of their shell. Also I do believe the Cops were forced into their work, they honestly thought they were protecting their Citizens it was until it was too late they realized their mistake, Benny realizes this and just like Cyrus and Acronix shows that they can be what they actually wanted to be. Can you tell I have a soft spot for these types of Couples?
Spirk(I think I saw Galaxy husbands at one point)(S'ch T'gai Spock x Jim Kirk) : The Grandfather of all ships and shipping the absolute og that a Fanzine about this ship in 1968 brought together a fandom that would usher in the Modern Era of being well a Nerd and bringing it out of the closet so to speak before Spirk and star trek in general it was kind of Socially taboo to be into this stuff this ship opened new doors for our modern day Shipping and fandom. its endearing and lovable and honestly just a classic old ship that I fell for early on(also Gene Rodenberry totally said its canon back in the 1990s)
Lipstick or Chapstick?:
Lipstick, I have Grey eyes an victory red really makes them pop..... When I actually put forth the effort haha
Last Song:
Oh well I was drawing Chua the OC Blakky my old friend gave me and let me take him under my wing so it was what I see as his song Part of Me by Katy Perry, Chua has amazing growth in the new AU I am working on.
Last Movie:
The Day After Tomorrow, a film formerly owned by 20th Century Fox its a Disaster movie in which due to Humanity and global warming the North Atlantic Current shifts and leads to massive Weather anomalies which lead to the New Ice Age. My families huge into these films we so far have watched Dantes Peak and Volcano this week for the 100th time they all are absolute faves in my families home.
Reading:
A Spirk Fanfiction, just Kirk gets deaged and the crew has to deal with Child Kirk including normally his husband Spock.
3 Things That Make Me Happy:
My Friends- Discord has helped me get out of the proverbial shell I was in and all the people I have met really make me happy. I live in back country Michigan and thus really really isolated and they keep me semi sane by being there.
Ninjago in General- The show hoo boy caught me and has supported me through some of my Darkest times in my childhood. It gave me an Escape to block out all the bad and it opened me to Writing Drawing Cosplaying I Cosplayed Pixal at 14 she was my first cosplay, Nya in 2014 was the first drawing I ever posted online writing it kept me writing for my favorite rare pair Zaya, which at the Time I called Ice Phoenix but someone changed it to Braincell.
Being just Creative- I like doing anything and Everything to bring something to life be it a cosplay or a story or a Diamond painting I have a creativeness to me that cannot be contained it drives me nuts if it is
Bonus facts!:
Technical 4th ship is Braincell, A Nindroid Can Love too was a Fanfiction written in 2014 and it was the 1st Zaya fic over 10k words and it was written by me! Please do be careful sorting through those Fics I was wild when young anything and everything was free game.
I am 21, 5 foot 6 and 148 pounds, I wear a brace and cane due to a disability which is why Cyrus is so special to me his representation matters!
People I wanna get to know more!
@jacked-anime-Cole Ummmm shit like I said idk that many people @rinas-ninjas maybe I NEVER GET TAGGED IN THESE

NYA (S1 red dress)
Parts breakdown
1. Tights
2. Dress
3. Sash
You can buy red tights from anywhere you like. I am using mine from my Edelgard (FE3H) costume.
For the dress I have found this free pattern resource by DR-COS
http://dr-cos.info/fp-chinadress.html
Instructions are not available in English. But I will make a separate post with translation.
You will need red woven fabric, white bias tape, gold HTV or embroidery patches of her phoenix crest, and two sets of chinese frog buttons.
You can find the frog buttons on aliexpress if you are unable to find any retail.
For the sash, I will recommend picking a lightweight fabric in a darker red than your dress and tights. A long strip hemmed will make a sash you can tie, but otherwise you can just make it a velcro-closure perfectly sized to you.
