The original art I made of Mami Tomoe was in 2017 (I’m pretty sure) when I was in middle school 😂. I was looking through my old deviantart and decided this one needed a redraw. I tried to keep it as similar to the original and only shades how I did in the og.
A reason why I specifically like Dragons Rising is the fact that they use two main characters of the opposite gender, not because they're shown as platonic either, the fact that it's sending a message that the show is okay for anyone to watch, regardless of gender.
With the original show that was a bit harder, since 5/6 of the main ninja were all male. I feel like DR does a really good job at making sure not to have one gender prevail over the other, on both the good guys and villains.
In addition to being a terrific follow-up/sequel, it's also a genuinely good show in today's culture, no matter what anyone else says. The morals, ideas, concepts, and heavy topics it captures are genuinely so surprising for what's marketed as a kids show.
Dragons Rising is truly a show for everyone, and people who can't accept every representation in it don't deserve to have the show. <3
Hey whatever you do don't think abt the fact that if Morro had succeeded in killing all the ninja in the caves of despair like he planned, Cole would be the sole "survivor" since he's a ghost and the blast wouldn't kill him. So he'd just have to watch everyone else die.
This is what Cole was pointing at by the way (this was after the rain stopped but still)
The boys went out for a little rainy day chat (They forced Jay to come and he's upset his underwear is wet) they tried to get Zane to go with but he was busy(I didn't wanna take him from his action packed get away scene)
Also some Lava moments because uhm, yes <3 (they totally kissed in the second one)
I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth
Kai from Ninjago is not a father. He has never been a father, and never should become a father. Nothing against fathers, but the ninja went without fathers for 13+ years. We grew up with Kai and why would we let them change him for no reason? The writers should just create a new character to be a father and not ruin one of the greatest characters in Lego history. Sign this petition if you agree Kai shouldn’t be a father. Once we have enough signatures, I will not be contacting the writers because dad!Kai real.
