Don't quite know how Tumblr works, so I hope I'm not flooding the Ninjago Tag with the same art.
Just- I worked for way to long on this art for it to not get buried in the reblogs of the original post 😅. If this is considered rude I will delete this post.
This is art for the Western/Cowboy AU created by @localguy2.
If you want to find out more information about this AU the original post and reblogs are here:

It's a popular take to say ninjago's dragons are based on western counterparts as "violent and brutish beasts." I personally disagree.
Dragons in ninjago are presented first as guardians against evil, and their presence as antagonists lasts maybe 5 minutes, while western dragons are hoarders, greedy and usually associated with the Christian Satan. With exception, they're typically depicted as evil. This is pretty clearly untrue of the versions in Ninjago, which don't play into that trope.
Personally, the dragons in ninjago strike me as a hybrid between eastern and western, with designs taking a bit more from west (though not totally. Hunted had multiple long, serpentine dragons, a trend that more or less continued.) Their heads, for example, look for more "eastern" than "western," especially the original four with the exception of Coles.
#Ninjago#They also really aren't that violent or brutish#Certainly not in the way western dragons are typically depicted.#Anyways this is just a common take on some ninjago is orientalist posts#And I want to be clear that I don't disagree with the main points of those posts.#But I don't think the dragons are as western as is often said.#I'd also guess their role as guardians is a more airquotes eastern thing.

I think it’s funny as hell that on Lloyd’s leather armor from ss 11, is the letter “L” in ninjargon
Maybe this is why you keep getting caught in cages Lloyd, you keep having to take the L
#like it’s also weird tho#cause it’s the whole thing with people wearing clothes with japanese on it#despite not knowing what it means#like i get ninjago was definitely not made by asian people and it’s very westernized and stuff#but i still find it funny as hell#like ik realistically I would never have a shirt with only my initial on it#so it just cracks me up that that’s just normal for the ninja#ZANE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A LETTER IN SEASON 11#THEY JUST DID A SNOWFLAKE#talk about lazy character design /hj#marspain speaks

ok so yall know how i had an idea a lil while ago for an antagonist type ninjago oc?
well its not done but im too excited to show them off, this is the trickster of all trades [work in progress, may change title] & their role in the show would be a minor antag who appears for a few episodes & never again, their thing is just common trickery and also teleporting but only when funny, theyre a robot [not nindroid bc i think theyd fit better as robot] who went rogue & now owns their own circus where they trick people into getting trapped as circus workers & the way theyd get defeated is that thing ppl do with stretchy snakelike monsters where they get all their limbs tangled into a mess, where their limbs would pop outta the sockets [they have rlly stretchy rubbery arms & legs too btw] & theyd be rendered harmless & defeated
#ninjago#ninjago fanart#ninjago art#ninjago oc#i cant draw in lego style please ignore that#their design is inspired by more western type demons jesters & funny tube limbed robots#art#artists on tumblr#ribbons self indulgent stuff#new personal tag too!! yayyyy#love love love the color scheme i gotta finish colorin them soon

Okay since I promised I’ll tell you about the club the mayor the city and the school and apartment I’ll tell you here
About the city
Nemarla western city is one of the most richest city and has tall Buildings and many advertisements and many poster about random places and lots of different monster like to destroy it since there’s lots of buildings to destroy but luckily the hero aka morro of the city always manages to destroy them and they alway seems to drop off crystal after being defeated and he always take them with him and by the way nemarla is huge af it’s the size Russia that’s all about the city now for mayor
The mayor
There’s not much about the mayor but the mayor is named Nancy nemarla she is at least 72 years old and has 7 grand children her husband passed always recently so now she has to run the entire city on her own
About the apartment
There’s also not much about the apartment except that it’s freaking crowded all because morro lives there and he always get free food and he lives there rent free and no one bothers him at all unless he’s hungry
The club
The conspiracy theory club is considered the most weirdest club and morro is an ex-member because conspiracy theories aren’t his thing but he still hangs out with the club members because even if he quits their still friends by heart the president of the club is named Jackson and the members are
Katrina Patrick
Jackson Truth aka the president
Penny willow
Lily gravestone
Piarla high
Piarla high is basically the most popular school in nemarla western city and they have McDonald’s and literally every popular fast food restaurant and also have a literal supermarket inside and they also have dormitories but things can get pretty noisy that’s why morro lives in an apartment 20 minutes away from the school he always bring his flying robot cat with him because it transform into anything despite being small and the same size as a cat

tbh I don't believe any of the ninja are white except for Jay but it's only his bio mom who was white
for my hcs personally its
cole - Romani
Nya + Kai - Chinese/Filipino
Lloyd - Japanese/Chinese (plus Oni and dragon obviously)
Zane - Black/Indian
Jay - Chinese/White
Wu + Garmadon - Fully Oni/dragon hybrids but their human forms are Japanese/Chinese
Pixal - Vietnamese
Misako- Japanese
I mean technically Zane and Pixal don't have races but they still have the features and when they use their cloaking device (Pixal has one but doesn't use it often if at all) those are the features they have ☝️🤓
I know that Ninjago is kinda of a mix of multiple cultures from both Asia and Europe like Oni come from Japan, the Yin/Yang engagement Jay and Nya had and the Festival in the 8th season is Chinese, the style of the monestary and some other places are also Japanese, the Dragons in the show are of the western + eastern variety and also a lot of things in the show are a lot like western culture too.
idk I'm rambling but listen they're my favorite characters obviously I wanna talk about them!! 🙁
#ninjago#lego ninjago#hcs#idk im a nerd okay#lloyd garmadon#kai smith#cole brookstone#zane julien#jay walker#sensei wu#lord garmadon#pixal borg#LIKEEE ugh god i was this bad wjth mha too you should've seen the endless hours i spent rambling about it#someone sedate me

New Article! Scrapped Season Concepts!
We've all heard of the scrapped Cowboy inspired season of Ninjago. But few know there was many more ideas that were ultimately scrapped! Today, we'll be looking at this scrapped season, along with many other abandoned concepts from Lego Ninjago artist Matt Betteker! And try to unlock some of the mystery behind them! Let's go!
1: The Dawn Of The Devourers, Lloyd vs Pancho, The Race, and Adventure
Clearly inspired by Western movies, this epic adventure seems it would have pitted the Ninjas against a Great Devourer riding band of outlaws, (One of which is named, Pancho) in search of perhaps some sort of treasure! This concept is extremely interesting, since it shows the existence of multiple Great Devourers! One of which looks a bit like Wojira! This season also seems to take inspiration from Incan civilizations, going by the jungle tomb-like building in the concept Adventure, and the Incan style Pyramids in the background of Lloyd Vs Pancho. Overall, this seems like it would have been an epic season. I can only imagine what the concept titled, The Race would have looked like animated. I honestly wonder why it was scrapped.
(I love the little detail of Cole manning the guns and Wu driving the wagon. Good father and son teamwork. Lol.😂)
2: The Lightning Temple and ThunderTown
What are these concepts for? Who's to say. It could be a very early version of Prime Empire. Going by the circuitry style painting on the temple in the concept called Temple Of Lightning, and the overall lightning themed atmosphere. OR, it could be an early design for the Island of the Keepers. Whose to say? But either way, it's a really cool concept and I'd love if they could reuse it some day.
3: Clockwork, The Ancient Ones Return, The Gold Army Meets Fibo, and The Gold Collector
This concept looked like Crystalized, Master Of The Mountain, and Hands Of Time all rolled into one!!! The gold and white color palette seems incredibly similar to Shintaro's. Meanwhile, clockwork patterns and style are reminiscent to Hands Of Time! And last but not least, the floating island looks almost like the Crystal Kings from Crystalized! This season would have had all sorts of crazy stuff! The main villain, (Known as The Gold Collector,) seems to have been very interested in two things. Gold, and Clockwork stuff. And it seems he or she would have been collecting gold to perhaps bring back the Golden Army shown in the artwork The Gold Army Meets Fibo. Who is this mysterious Fibo? A time traveler perhaps? Look at the flowing swirls of clock styled energy surrounding him. Very intriguing.🤔
If Ninjago had a steampunk inspired season like this, I would have been thrilled! It's to bad this concept was abandoned. But I would love to see what fans do with it!
4: Hunt For The Lava Hammer, and Cole Lava Blade
An early version of Master Of The Mountain, or something else? Going by the mining style machines and side characters in the backgrounds of both these pieces, this could have been a mining themed season centered around Cole. Even Cole's outfit is designed to look like a mining or construction outfit. Almost reminiscent to Lego City's Volcano Explorers line.
5: The Dragons Tribe, and Hunt For The Elemental Shurikens
There isn't much to say about this one. As we can't really take many clues from it. But going by Lloyd's outfit, and the lush green plant life, I believe this could be an early version of The Island. What really interests me is these Elemental Shurikens. What are they? Unfortunately, it doesn't say. But I'm sure they would have been interesting! Also, look at that dragon guarding her nest. The patterns on her are beautiful!
6: The Journey of Lloyd
All these piece were under one title. The Journey Of Lloyd. How mysterious.👀 So what is this collection of concepts? Just by looking, you can tell this was no ordinary season. The muted color palette and the more mature atmosphere all seem to point to something bigger. Was this perhaps a scrapped version of the Ninjago Movie? Or something else? Perhaps a Lloyd centric story, in which he goes an epic adventure all his own! Whatever's is was, it looks amazing. The love how much more mature and darker it feels. Surely a concept worthy of a nail biting, heart racing, action movie!
7: The Dragon Mask
A single concept amongst the others caught my eye. It didn't seem to fit with any of the other concept seasons. What is this dragon mask? It could be an early version of the Dragon Forms seen in Crystalized. But whose to say? Still, a very striking design! Feel free to comment your theories about it!
Want to look at the artwork straight from Matt Betteker himself? Here's his Art Station account with the exact art pieces we went over today.
Thanks for reading everyone!

Lloyd Garmadon Ninjago propaganda/ anti Antigone propaganda:
- Ninjago universe is a representation of more than just Eurocentric concepts of philosophy, culture, myth, and folklore in the tragedy genre because Asian people deserve to have great tragic stories too
- Ninjago and specially Lloyd’s arc contends with the implications and effects of child soldiers, conquest and colonization, war and who benefits/profits from it, among others
- The play Antigone by Sophocles, which everyone is referencing, was as part of a larger play cycle that used the myth of Oedipus as Athenian supremacist propaganda after Athens lost the Peloponnesian War to Sparta. Specifically, these plays (including Antigone) criticize Sparta while lionizing Athens as a beacon of democracy, morals, and the favor of the gods. Friendly reminder that Athens actually conquered/colonized the rest of Greece later and was NOT a true democracy and also had some of the strictest rules limiting the rights of Athenian women. The modern day glorification of Ancient Athens is to the detriment of the rest of Greek history and is linked to the formation of Western supremacy/white supremacy
- on a less serious note Lloyd is superior to Antigone in every aspect so vote for him
[Propaganda]

Other Emperors AU — Ninjago
So. The beloved Ice Emperor. The corrupting potential of the Staff of Forbidden Spinjitzu + Amnesia + Vex.
Now what if the Ice Emperor came in other flavours?
That’s right, introducing the Other Emperors AU, a collection of different “What ifs” for if other people had been zapped with the staff by Aspheera!
Different Versions:
Earth Emperor / King of the Underworld = Cole
Lightning Emperor / Thunder God / Lightning Striker = Jay
Fire Emperor / Western Wildfire / Fire Maker = Kai
Energy Emperor / Lord of Energy / Luh-Lord = Lloyd
Water Empress / Commander of the Sea / Wrath of the Waves = Nya
Empress of Technology / Automated Empress / Overseer / The Technodrome = Pixal
Creation Emperor / Second Spinjitzu Master / The Creator = Wu
Not all of them are fleshed out (honestly most just have… one or two minor ideas, but I’ll gladly bounce ideas back and forth with people in Reblogs, comments, and/or asks!), but here’s what I’ve got—
Earth Emperor / King of the Underworld
- Got zapped into the Neverrealm instead and lost his memories from a concussion in the fight
- Vex finds him and the staff and convinces him to take it
- He raises/sinks the Earth to create a stone dome over the realm and make it a cavern of tunnels; some call him the King of the Underworld (Hades vibes) for it and he hates it even if he can’t remember why (haha forgotten Skulkin memories)
- Master of the Mountain mixed with ancient mythology vibes
- His hair grows out and becomes partially lava because come on that look just is so cool on him ; his armour is also formed of obsidian/onyx and crystals
- Difficult to anger (a very patient emperor that listens to his people whenever Vex doesn’t interfere) but if you do (usually on Vex’s manipulation) OH BOY you’re in for it now
- Built a dangerous labyrinth King-Minos-style complete with a stone minotaur in the centre that he sends prisoners/people Vex tricks him into thinking are enemies
- Is very fascinated by Kai’s fire (and Jay’s lightning) because the only light source in the caverns are glowing crystals formed from his powers or special regulated flint/coal-based fires
- He keeps Kai with him when the Ninja arrive and banish the rest to the labyrinth to “prove themselves” on Vex’s manipulation (possibly specifically dropping Jay in the minotaur room as a sacrifice because Jay made a menace of himself in the throne room)
- The Ninja make it through the traps because they’re all kinda Cole-themed (like one involves the Triple Tiger Sashay) and arrive back at the throne room after defeating the stone minotaur, much to Cole/Vex’s astonishment/ire respectively
- Cole realizes the Ninja are telling the truth and that Vex has been lying to him and ends up dropping the staff after reverting the Neverrealm back to its original state
Lightning Emperor / Thunder God / Lightning Strike
- Realizes Zane’s vision (yeah, Jay is the only person who knew Zane had a vision and he DISMISSED IT, hecking come on) is about to come true and shoves Zane out of the way of Aspheera’s shot
- Cracked his head on a rock falling through the portal and has zero memories <3 Should he be dead? Probably. But he’s Jay, so he survives, especially with his boosted element lashing out
- Vex finds him and is so confused over the lightning appearance but realizes he can use it
- Skybound / Lightning Ruins parallels with Jay ripping up chunks of ground and making floating magnetized islands
- Has a very ominous cult following Vex leads because its Jay, of course it would happen, its not the first time
- Is kinda revered more as a ‘godly figure’ than an emperor (Vex uses his status to make orders in Jay’s name)
- Kinda unhinged, but you can blame the staff + Vex + the concussion and blood loss
- Fascinated by Cole because he absorbs/grounds lightning fine ; also fascinated by Zane who is a walking metal lightning rod
- Constantly zapping around
Fire Emperor / Western Wildfire / Fire Maker
- Lost his powers to Aspheera, battled her with the second staff, and got his butt yeeted to the Never Realm- that’s rough, buddy
- Gets his well-deserved focus season
- He really means well and just wants to keep his people safe, but unfortunately it comes across as overly possessive and tyrannical
- Older brothers so hard that he comes across as evil/possessive and aggressive when he’s trying to be caring and protective
- Don’t have much for him because the fandom already has insanely cool Fire Emperor AUs
Energy Emperor / Lord of Energy / Luh-Lord
- So many Lord Garmadon parallels
- ONI-DRAGON LLOYD ONI-DRAGON LLOYD
- Also a surprising amount of Morro parallels about making his own destiny
- So, so traumatized and got corrupted simply for wanting to take his fate into his own hands for once
- Punts Vex out of the castle because he’s had enough of people telling him what to do
- Kinda goes back to S1 Lloyd because this kid just wants his childhood back
- Goes from “scary emperor who’s going to execute you” to “excited little kid” the second he sees his siblings
- Taking the staff back hurts because Lloyd isn’t mad, he’s just super sad and confused and pleads with them not to do it
Water Empress / Commander of the Sea / Wrath of the Waves
- The Never Realm just became the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- All the ice and snow melts into an ocean with islands
- Nya builds a big ol’ palace that’s both above and below the water’s surface
- Seabound parallels in terms of architecture (lots of accidental Wojira foreshadowing)
- So. Much. Rage. You anger Nya, you’re done for.
- The staff + her element amplified the ocean’s whispers and she’s kinda merged with the sea but not fully, her memories are a bit scattered
- Was going to take on Vex as an advisor because he convinced her she knew him before her memories got lost/scattered, but then her memories associate him with Krux, and she kicks him onto a lone island
- Her brothers have to face the ocean to get to her. They hate it, but they do it anyway
Empress of Technology / Automated Empress / Overseer / The Technodrome
- Pixal gets to sacrifice herself for Zane
- While the staff doesn’t amplify powers for her, she still gets boosted strength, speed, smarts, etc., her processor running at 300x proficiency
- Is able to get the mech up and running— she DID build it, after all
- Still loses her memories from Vex’s interference, somewhat reverts to S3 Pixal
- Makes the entire realm “efficient” and rapidly revolutionizes technology
- Easily one of the scariest rulers because of how good she is at it
- Took Vex on as an Advisor because of his knowledge of the realm, then fired him once she was done.
“But you— you cannot FIRE me! I am your loyal, most trusted advisor—”
“And you are no longer necessary. There is more important matters to attend to.”
- It’s very difficult to dismantle her empire
Creation Emperor / Second Spinjitzu Master / The Creator
- Aspheera blasts her intended target
- Wu is sent to the Never Realm with the other staff
- The Ninja are devastated because they just lost their Sensei AGAIN just after getting him back
- Wu refuses to use the staff at first but then… well, he starts getting desperate to return. He misses his family. And his essence— creation— could be used to help the people of this realm. So he uses it once or twice, sparingly, to help the villages, to help travellers— and slowly gets more and more addicted. Why does this realm hurt the people in it? If his essence is one of creation, couldn’t he use it to… reform this realm into something more peaceful? More habitable? Remake it in his own image? Correct all the mistakes he’s made, start again, start better—
- FSM and Pilots-S2 Garmadon parallels
- His students manage to get into the Never Realm only to find it “prosperous” and “thriving”
- Bonus if there are copies of them, but the way Wu sees them— uncanny valley alert
- EXTRA bonus if there’s a fake Morro that’s based on how he was as a student / if he’d lived , and a fake Garmadon cured of venom and evil
- Breaking their Sensei out of this illusion of a perfect world really hurts
- Wu is traumatized by all his mistakes and they get acknowledged in this AU whether he wants them to be or not <3
