The Maiden caught me in the wild - where I was dancing merrily - she put me into her Cabinet, and lock'd me up with a golden key...
This Cabinet is form'd of gold and pearl - and crystal, shining bright - and within it opens into a world, and a little lovely moony night...
Another England there I saw - another London, with its tower - another Thames - and other hills - and another pleasant Surrey bower...
Another Maiden like herself - translucent, lovely - shining clear, threefold - each in the other clos'd - O, what a pleasant trembling fear!
O, what a smile! A threefold smile fill'd me - that like a flame I burn'd- I bent to kiss the lovely Maid, and found a threefold kiss return'd...
I strove to seize the inmost form - with ardour fierce & hands of flame - but burst the Crystal Cabinet, and like a weeping Babe became
a weeping Babe upon the wild - and weeping Woman, pale, reclin'd - and in the outward air again, I fill'd with woes the passing wind.
- The Crystal Cabinet (1803) by William Blake

Happy pride month! Three curio shadowboxes in rainbow gradient. (6/1/23)
Submitted one for the Ohio State Fair art show, planning to display the others at Columbus Arts Fest, then possibly list them online if they don't sell there.

Just want to rant about Kai a bit, and how he is in Season 1.
Because I fucking hate him in Season 1. I'm sorry, but he's just such an asshole. And not a funny and lovable asshole. Just an asshole, whether it's about the green ninja shit or Nya being a girl.
And he does improve after his True Potential episode (due to character development), but prior to it (and actually during part of it) he's just unbearable to me.
And I remember that as a kid I hated him as well during Season 1.

hey I uh. I'm obsessed with your cabinet man au. You should um. You should info dump about it
GLADLY :DDDDD
So I've talked a bit about how Prime Empire and Skybound gets impacted since they're so Jay-centric but I haven't mentioned much about other seasons so
OTHER SEASON INFO (that takes place after PE bc i haven't figured out how the show functions without jay yet lol)
in between Prime Empire and Hands of Time is when Jay starts training with the ninja! He really looks up to Wu so when he goes missing at the end of HoT it hits him pretty hard, especially since it's another feeling of abandonment even though he KNOWS it wasn't on purpose
SoG and Hunted Jay act pretty much like canon Jay, I love Jay in those seasons he's so fun. He does get PRETTY pissed at Zane for a while in SoG for doing what he did to Cole though - he doesn't care that it was just to infiltrate the group, it hit a sensitive spot. They eventually make up and are fine but oof
March of the Oni is stupid and bad i'm sorry hgkjsfdhgjfsdhjk but i like the appeal of Jay being just close enough to stop Cole from falling so I'm keeping that aspect but i might straight up rewrite MotO for the AU lmao
honestly i might swap so Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitsu happens AFTER what would be Skybound? idk but regardless Jay acts pretty similarly there too. Bro bro goo goo and all.
THE ISLAND IS SO FUNNY IT STAYS THE SAME the only difference is jay is a LOT more apprehensive about being separated from the group and asks if they're okay like every ten minutes
Same with Master of the Mountain, Jay's pretty similar but is a lot more worried about the others
Seabound
Seabound is Sad enough said there, that one would be a whole separate post

How Many seasons Evil Jay theories we have to create to any writer to make it happend for real
We have
Snake Evil (cause why not)
Nindroid (cyborg) Jay
Chen recruit
Pirate with family issues
Overlord-Jay
Ice emperor minion
Purple Lightning corr
Jay was Unagami
Or mister i lost my wife so i’ll lost my self LMAO
But only received twice a Brain washed magic that corrupted the rest of the Team as well, for them not even represent a menace in the plot.
OMG YES TO A L L OF THIS
Snake Jay but Evil is such a vibe tbh
CYBORG JAY I LOVE ROBOTS I LOVE NINDROIDS I LOVE CYBORGS AAAAAAAAAA please i love this so much
Chen recruit verrrrrry interesting :D normally I see Kai in this position but a Jay one would be fun (esp since he's always so tied to snakes)
PIRATE WITH FAMILY ISSEUSEUGSG YEAH that's just season 6 canon /j
Overlord Jay ooooh :O tbh the Overlord is an under-utilized villain by the fandom i think more people should have fucked up Overlord possession AUs
ICE EMPEROR MINION YES tbh the fic Ice Emperor and Earth Dragon kinda ruined my brain chemistry if I don't consume a new form of "Ice Emperor corrupts one of the ninja" concepts like every month I lose my mind, I love the Ice Emperor
Funny story about the purple lightning thing, I wanna storyboard that section of Seabound where Jay goes apeshit on Kalmaar but he gets struck by the purple lightning and gets extremely OP and proceeds to KICK KALMAAR'S ASS. Having it CORRUPT Jay tho hmmm,,,,,,,
JAY AS UNAGAMI CORRECT NO COMMENTARY NEEDED
literally i - okay okay okay okay i fully. before we got any crystalized info at all before we got the name and the poster and all that. i FULLY thought season 16 was gonna be jay being desperate and heartbroken and going to nadakhan to wish nya back and that would be the plot i was SO SURE. they set up the teapot for so long and i was like THIS IS IT THIS IS WHERE IT'S GONNA COME INTO PLAY. and then. that did not happen HGJKFDSHJGHDFHGDFSKJGF
as for the last one i'm assuming that happens in crystalized which i've only seen half of LMAOOOOO i'm too scared to watch the rest of it

edwin paine speaks in edwardian slang and nobody can understand him. he is utterly unintelligible <33
(transcription of text under cut)
edwin: "oh, charles, you gay dog!" "he's a bit balmy on the crumpet, if you know what i mean." "it's duck soup!" "blimey o'riley!" "i've got the blue devils..." "we're in a bit of a nasty jar!" "let's hop the way!" "i'm off my chump! absolutely off my onion!"
crystal: "what's he saying?"
charles: "absolutely no clue."
