hiiii i'm still obsessed with my matchup :)) could i request a head canon about the ninja + pixal cuddling their s/o / the reader pretty pls?

Yes ofc!! Good to see you again, friend! :D

Ninjago - Cuddling With The Ninjas (+ Pixal)

Jay

He’s a total cuddle bug

Whether you’re watching a movie or drifting off to sleep, he loves having you close

He actually sort of needs it too; it helps him relax, and lord knows this man needs to relax

It’s both the comfort of having you close and the sensation of physical contact that calms him down

He’ll usually be the one to come to you

If you’re just chilling, he likes to lean against you, his head on your chest or stomach while his arms wrap around your waist

He will melt if you play with his hair

He even requests you to do so sometimes

Sometimes he’ll vent while you cuddle, taking full advantage of the opportunity to unwind by blowing off some steam

He won’t get too riled up though

If you’re going to sleep, he prefers to be the little spoon

Or he’ll cling to your side like a koala, burying his face in your clothes

When that happens you’re trapped until morning, sorry

Maybe even a little longer, depending on how motivated he is to get up

You might hear him muttering things into your side

If you listen closely, you’ll hear your name and “I love you” / “you’re beautiful” / “I’m so lucky” / etc

Cole

He’s another major cuddler

It’s mostly when you’re relaxing that he likes to cuddle, though

He’s not too picky when it comes to positions

It kind of depends on who initiates the cuddles

If it’s him, he’ll grab you and pull you over to him effortlessly, trapping you in his lap or against his chest

If it’s you, he’s good with whatever you find comfortable :)

He likes to fiddle with your hair or hands while you cuddle

He presses chaste kisses on your knuckles and makes little braids in your hair (even if it’s super short)

He likes having you close when relaxing; it means he gets to share the moment with you as intimately as possible

Plus he likes holding you against him

It’s a little like a stress ball

On that note, he loves having you on top of him when he sleeps

Not just your head—no, your entire body

You’re like a human anxiety blanket

It’s certainly not unpleasant for you; Cole is as soft as a mattress when he relaxes, and much warmer

He’ll wrap his muscular arms around you, warming you up even more

He lays just like that, still as a rock until morning

Kai

He does like to cuddle, but not very often

He’ll be a little awkward if you try to initiate cuddles and he’s not feeling it, but he’ll indulge you anyway

He’ll just drape and arm around you and lean his head on yours

But if he actually wants cuddles, it’s usually late at night, in the privacy of your own room

He generally doesn’t mind PDA, but he reserves cuddles for private moments

It’s his chance to show you his softer side, not worrying about being tough or responsible or anything

Your bodies fit together like puzzle pieces as you melt into each other’s touch

He usually doesn’t go for a specific position, he just goes with whatever feels right

He prefers to just lay there, rubbing each other’s backs

He only likes his hair to be played with if it’s already been washed for the night

He’s very particular about his hair

He doesn’t have a problem playing with yours, though

And he’s very gentle about it; he is a bit of a hair expert

Eventually you’ll drift off to sleep

You’ll wake up in a completely new position, but rest assured you’ll still be tangled together

Zane

He doesn’t really feel the need to cuddle

But you introduce him to it, finding calm moments to curl up together

You have to guide his limbs the first few times, but he catches on quickly

And he finds himself enjoying these moments

After a while, it becomes a ritual for him

Whenever you’re alone, or just relaxing, he reaches over and takes your hand, looking at you pleadingly

That’s his way of asking for cuddles

You’ll smile and wrap your arms around him, allowing him to situate himself as he pleases

He usually just reclines a little and puts his hands on the small of your back or your hips

He’s pretty stiff, but he’s comfortable, trust me

And he can adjust his body temperature to whatever temperature you ask

So you guys can cuddle in the middle of the summer, no problem

If you look up you’ll see him smiling, and that smile will only grow when he meets your gaze

He doesn’t like to cuddle when sleeping though

Partly because he knows it’s not very comfortable for you

But if you insist hard enough, he’ll consent to holding hands or letting you rest your head against his shoulder

Lloyd

Cuddles are pretty common with him

He just sees it as a comfortable way to relax with someone he loves, so he’s almost always cuddling you

If you’re in a more “public” space like the couch, he prefers casual positions like tangling your legs together or leaning against each other

He likes to squeeze your hand while you do this

Or play with your fingers, depending on how he's feeling

When you’re alone, your cuddles get more intimate

He likes to bury his face in you, whether that be your belly, chest, side, back, etc

He doesn’t really have a preference between holding you and being held

His breathing slows and his grip will slowly relax around you

Eventually he falls asleep; he just gets so comfortable

Sometimes he won’t bury his face though, and he’ll talk to you instead

It’s an intimate moment, so he takes advantage of it to tell you things

Doubts, secrets, worries, it’s all on the table

When he’s finished he’ll listen to what you have to say in turn

Then he’ll smile and bury his face in you, drifting off to sleep like usual

Nya

She's pretty ambiguous when it comes to cuddling

She doesn't like to cuddle excessively, but she can still accommodate you if you're a big cuddler

Sometimes she likes to hold you, sometimes she likes to be held

It just depends on her mood

Cuddles are a display of affection for her, both in the giving and receiving sense

That's why she switches between holding/being held

She has no problem asking for cuddles when she's in the mood

She'll literally grab your arms and wrap them around herself while she cozies up to you

Or she'll wrap an arm around you, pulling you against her and letting you adjust yourself

Kind of like Kai, she's not a huge fan of getting her hair played with, but she'll gladly play with your hair

She'll do little styles then undo them, combing her fingers through your hair to smooth it out again

When you're sleeping, she likes to spoon

She'll swap between big and little spoon; though she's slightly more inclined to be the little spoon

When she is the little spoon, she'll wrap her hands around yours, holding them gently against herself

That way you can feel her heartbeat :)

Pixal

She's the least receptive to cuddling out of the bunch

Even when you show her how, she doesn't get it

What she does understand is that it seems to make you happy though

And she's more than willing to do anything that makes you happy

So sometimes she'll try to be the one to initiate it, particularly when she sees that you're unhappy

You'll have to do the initiating most of the time though

Her efforts are stiff and unnatural at first, but they improve with time

She learns what you like and adapts accordingly

She doesn't like the actual cuddles so much as she likes seeing you all relaxed, a languid smile curving your lips

She'll try to make idle conversation with you while you cuddle

She finds the silence awkward

(Yet another reason she doesn't understand cuddling)

But she'll understand if you're just tired and you want to relax/sleep

She takes it as a compliment that you can fall asleep with her, despite her not fully grasping the whole "cuddling" concept

So in a way it is pretty fulfilling for her, just not in the way you'd expect

Thank you for this request!! And thanks for reading, take care lovelies! <33

New theory that in season 7, Zane knew Pix was leaving the whole time, and just kept it a secret cuz she said she needed time away from the team which he 100% understood.

She had plenty of time to think it through while he was passed out, and then talk it through in his head while his speech was on the fritz. He could respond back to her in garbled nonsense which only she understood. With Pixal's habitual talking out loud in Zane's head that we see in this scene, I find it unlikely she wasn't verbally creating her plan to leave and save her father.

Zane staged the initial loss of contact after a mission, at a time he knew people would hear and observe him being confused.

Pictured: Zane making a ~confused face~ in front of at least half the team after awkwardly inviting Pixal into a group conversation (a thing that never happens)

He still has a bit of a mental breakdown without her, cuz he's not used to her being gone, so that character beat still works.

And when she shows up, he goes out of your way to help her. This can definitely be them subtly flirting with each other:

He asks if perchance anyone else was affected by the time shenanigans cuz he knows pixal is around.

Pictured: Zane already looking at Samurai X while asking if anyone else was affected by the temporal disturbance

Their eventual reunion doesn't have a lot of fanfare, just a low key normal hug with a half baked excuse for her absence, cuz they aren't actually surprised to see each other.

Observe this assortment of Pixane Hugs:

And then observe how much lower energy the hug in question is:

... I think it's possible. That's all I'm sayin.

I finally finished up my height and body headcanons for the cast!

Details beneath the cut!

Jay

- Narrow face. Has a sort of movie star look to him. The most conventionally attractive out of all the ninja. Short and a little boxy-looking. Slightly muscled shoulders (he’s an inventor) but otherwise stronger than he looks.

- Lots of freckles and fulguration scars. His body regularly conducts lightning through it and it shows. The smaller ones fade with time and return when he uses his powers.

Nya

- Square face and strong features, very grumpy resting expression. Moles on her cheek and the corner of her mouth and a couple on her neck. Dragon tattoo on her arm.

- Strong biceps and and thighs (she’s been an inventor, mechanic, samurai, and now a ninja). She can easily bench press a few of her teammates and her punches hit like a semi truck. She has swirling marks as well as fangs from her time merged as the ocean and a scar on her left side from fighting Dogshank (her body remembers the events of Skybound, even if nobody else—except for Jay—does.)

Lloyd

- Classic hero look: soft features, seems very approachable, most of his opponents don’t think he’s capable of great anger because of this. (They’re wrong). Puts effort into his appearance because he has strong feelings about what he thinks a hero should look like. He relaxes a little after the Merge and lets some of his less human traits become visible, such as his fangs and pointed ears. Unrecognizable outside of gi—literally looks like an average guy.

- He has a somewhat stocky, jock-like build. Has several visible scars and stretch marks but the most prominent are the claw marks on his shoulders from fighting his dad. Top surgery scars too (he is trans to me).

Kai

- Physically resembles his father quite a bit, has similar sharp features. Very handsome. Has a lot of very thick, coarse hair, so he uses a lot of hair jel for it. Has a scar over his right eye that he got while fighting a Serpentine.

- Jacked, very strong arms, biceps, and shoulders. Calloused hands from working the blacksmith forge. Same dragon tattoo as Nya on his left arm that he originally got to commemorate her sacrifice in Seabound. Top surgery scars (he is also trans to me)

Cole

- Has a soft, gentle-looking face. Probably the most relaxed out of everyone on the team. A couple moles on his nose.

- Tied with Zane for tallest height. Used to look very slender in s1/2 but has since put on a lot of weight. Large build with lots of functional muscle. Big arms, legs, hands, and feet. Big chest. You get the picture. Lots of body hair all over. Nearly invisible scar on his face from his time as a ghost.

Zane

- Tied with Cole for the tallest. Was originally shorter but was rebuilt taller after s3. Slender build with a strong, flexible core. Dr. Julien designed him to be light and fast to contrast the Juggernaut, which is slow yet tough. Can still tank a freight train. Powerful. Built to protect.

- Very human-looking despite his android body. (Dr. Julien was a damned genius) similar wiring to Pixal on his chest but with snowflakes instead of dots. Heart/core is comprised of chronosteel as given to him by the previous Master of Ice.

Pixal

- The shortest. Petite. Borg built her to look soft and amicable since she worked as an assistant at his company. Visible wiring since she is overflowing with every mechanism thought possible to make her as fully functional as a human being and more.

- Has an alternative Battle Mode body that is bigger than even Zane. She re-made the Samurai X persona to seem big, quiet, and terrifying to fight. She succeeded.

#ninjago #lego ninjago #lloyd garmadon #lloyd ninjago #hails’ art #jay ninjago #nya ninjago #kai ninjago #cole ninjago #zane ninjago #pixal ninjago #going by this you would probably think that Zane or Pixal is my favorite #alas it’s actually Lloyd #and Nya

Ninjago Remastered Designs!

THEY'RE DONE! After months of work!!! They are DOOOOOOOOOOONE. WOOOOOOOOOOO! Lol! Welp, these are my Ninjago designs! Basically, this is my take on the Ninja if they were in a 2d animated cartoon! And yes! I will be drawing more characters. Tumblr butchered the quality, so close ups and design notes are below the cut. They're pretty detailed, so I highly recommend checking them out. Feel free to ask questions about the designs! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ - ✒️🐉

When designing these outfits, I tried to take inspiration from the ones in the show. And in terms of art style, drew inspiration from early 2000s cartoons, (Action Adventure ones specifically,) Anime inspired shows, and even a hint of traditional Disney animation. And while I designed them with a 2d cartoon in mind, most of the designs would most likely have to be simplified for them to be used in animation. So let's get started!

Kai: Kai was a pretty fun to work with. I actually didn't plan on giving him a sleeveless outfit. But it happened! And I like it! If you'll notice, the flame pattern on his vest mirrors the pattern on his sister Nya's outfit. I thought that would be a cool detail to include. It was inspired by their March of The Oni outfits. I also made sure to include his scar and bandaid. And gave him reddish brown eyes to signify his elemental power. Him and sister I imagine being Brazilian/Taiwanese. So I hope I captured their ethnicity properly. I'm pretty happy with this design. Especially his hair, which was hard to replicate.

Jay: Jay was a hard one for sure. I wasn't too sure how to vamp up his outfit. So I started by giving him some lightning patterns on his Gi. (At least I think that's what it's called?) And I decided to make it look a little baggy and soft. It just seemed to suit him. I tried something a little more form fitting and didn't look right. Also! A fun detail I included was his half the Yin Yang pendent around his neck! And of course Nya has her half. I imagine him having Irish ancestry, so I gave him pale, freckled skin. And gorgeous curly red hair. (As a fellow red head, I'm very proud.) Overall, I think he turned out pretty adorable. And his face is spot on.

Nya: Nya I pretty much got right on the first try! I just had a really clear vision of her in my head. I gave her a grey outfit with bright, vibrant blue details. The pattern on her Gi is inspired by Koi Scales. And she has her half of the Yin Yang pendent around her neck. I really like this one, because while it is simple, it's beautiful. And I think it reflects her element nicely. The only thing I missed was to give her a symbol like the rest. But overall, I love it! One more thing is that I wanted to give her and Pixal different hair. So when I finally release my Pixal design, you'll see that while they both have ponytails, I gave them different cut and styled ones. Should be neat!

Zane: Zane was the first one of the Ninjas I redesigned! I love how he turned out. I tried to give him a splintered ice effect on his outfit inspired by his Core minifigure and gave him his faithful falcon companion. Falcon has his old greyish purple feathers, but blue icy eyes to match his owner. I also wanted to give Zane flowing sleeves, that would look very majestic waving about in a blizzard wind. He is also incredibly tall. Taller than Cole even! I was inspired by the giant humanoid robots I'd seen in movies. In his cloaking disguise, I imagine him looking German. With blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin. I also like to think Dr Julian was German. (Was this influenced by my German ancestry? Who knows?)

Cole: You would not believe how many times I had to redraw this man's face. Haha! I just could find that sweet spot! That face that perfectly encapsulated his strong, but gentle personality. But I think I did it! His outfit is based on his Oni Trilogy Gi, with orange detailing. And he has his Island ponytail and bandana. I absolutely loved that hair style on him. So I had to use it! And if you'll notice, he has a beautiful tattoo on his right arm, with his symbol in the center. I imagine him being half Maori, from his mother's side. And the tattoo was inspired by Maori tattoos I saw pictures of. I'm not too sure how accurate those images were. But hopefully I hit the mark.

Lloyd: Finally! Our green Ninja Lloyd! His outfit was inspired by two things. Dragons, and his outfit from the Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitsu seasons. I gave him a beautiful golden dragon and cloud pattern on his clothes, a leather arm guard, and shoulder pads. If you look closer, you'll also see he has cat-like dragon eyes which pays homage to his dragon and Oni heritage. I like to think that depending on his emotions, his eyes will go from slits, to big and wide. So they are good indicators for his mood. I also imagine him being Japanese. But his powers give him his classic blond hair and green eyes. I'm very happy with this design. His hair, eyes, and face all look exactly how I see him in my head.

Well, that's all. I hope you enjoyed these designs and notes! I assure you, you will see more of the them.

Bye! - ✒️🐉

˗ˏˋ ꒰ 💌 ꒱ old friends, lloyd garmadon.┊ ˚➶ ｡˚ ☁️

˗ˏˋ ꒰ 💌 ꒱ act one ;; special scene┊ ˚➶ ｡˚ ☁️

୧ ⎯⎯ SURPRISE

୧ ⎯⎯ WARNINGS ;; profanity ;; more affectionate slander (ily lloyd) ;; idk what the plot is here—

୧ ⎯⎯ NOTES ;; pointless thing i'm doing for the other characters, this happens after scene 1 and before scene 2. and yes, it's short, i'm sorry about that! ALSO THIS IS BASED OF A TRUE STORY 😭

୧ ⎯⎯ PREVIOUS ┊MASTERLIST┊NEXT

"and–" lloyd's continuing on with his story, with an obvious patch up or two and a loophole or several to the story to hide the some underlying details about the whole ordeal —whatever said ordeal was. but no one blamed lloyd, not when if he kept true to the tale, he would have revealed the identities of the secret ninja force as the people in the room minus the samurai and whatever skylor was.

jay wondered to himself, did you know about skylor's element? since you came from her mother's side, there was a chance you too had the element amber in your blood, but it had gone to her instead. he internal sighed tiredly, elements and bloodlines never made sense. then again, their fates didn't either. he moved, leaning forward to place his can of some drink on the table; he didn't quite bother familiarizing himself with the name when skylor's fridge kept changing every other day.

it'd be a good month before the monastery was finally fixed up and they'd get to move back into their own home. right now, the house kai (by miracle considering their reputations were tainted by greenie's name and unfortunate circumstances lloyd had as a garmadon) wasn't just home. nya and pixal offered to ask skylor if they could stay and fortunately the amber master didn't mind having the samurai and ex-samurai as roommates as long as she had one room left to spare for her cousin. jay was curious why at the time and now, it seemed surreal to finally met her long-awaited cousin.

oh well, at least lloyd had a friend outside his uncle's students.

you asked a question, someone answered and jay laughed at the response. it was good, life was good. he made his own comment to cole's answer back to you. skylor stood behind nya and jay, aiming a can of something and throwing it at lloyd, who swiftly caught it even if he wasn't quite paying attention. "thanks sky!" he half laughed back while she nodded back, sipping some of her own drink. she sure did love canned drinks..?

lloyd placed the can of what jay figured was monster, boy did he have a problem with monster, on the table, close to zane. he hadn't opened it yet, preoccupied with defending his pride against cole and kai's persistent teasing, the poor boy's face was burning red at the fact they were pulling all the stops while in front of his friend. nya was even also ever casually dropped an embarrassing memory or two before quietly sitting back and laughing at her brother trying so hard not to shutter.

zane, enjoying the friendly fire on lloyd and his adorably easy to flusher-ness, grabbed the wrong can —lloyd's monster and not his own something. and by utter surprise, his hand was soaked with sugary liquid and the room startled into confused silence. he looked down at his hands, looking at the half busted can of the energy drink and the puddle on the table and floor.

the kids (lloyd and [name]) scooted away from the sudden burst of the can, both cleared were terrified by the surprised with the latter using the former as a shield. jay and kai both half screamed, and their significant others both stared at sound with shocked eyes. pixal herself stepped back into the room after walking away for a moment, completely expectant that her beloved would do something like that, sighing as she went with skylor to help her clean up the mess.

"that was.. unexpected," he quietly stared, examining his hand and dropping the can's pieces into the bin —bought to him by skylor— and stepping out of the room to clean himself. when he stepped back inside the room, he softly smiled, albeit guilty. "sorry lloyd," he quietly apologized to him.

"no stress but.. how did it?" lloyd wondered, staring accusingly at the other cans.

"cans are weak as fuck nowadays man—" [name] stated, almost disappointedly before leaning forward to pick some of the things up and off the table to let pixal wipe the surface of it.

zane nodded, barely registering his friends half dying on the other side from the random can destroying that happened. he caught pixal and lloyd half chuckling to themselves before skylor handed lloyd a second can; this time, zane didn't touch the can in fear he might destroy it.

"behold–!" jay begins half dying from laughter, "zane! the can destroyer–!" the three of them doubled over in laughter. nya smacked her boyfriend on the head before finally succumbing to her own amusement. zane chuckled slightly embarrassed.

"no more cans for you." pixal promptly walks off after all the cleaning (shared between herself, lloyd, [name], zane himself and skylor) was done to do the thing she was originally going to do.

he laughed slightly, pulling her back to press a quick kiss to her temple. "understood, love."

Hot take but Kai is actually the logician and Zane is actually the emotional one. Like i know theyre often characterized as Kai being emotional and impulsive and Zane being clever and rational, but i think its actually more accurate to say its the reverse. In a lot of ways, Kai is the clever and rational one, while Zane is emotional and impulsive. Sure, in terms of personality Kai is impulsive and reckless and passionate, and Zane is smart and logical and rational, but when it comes to action and behavior?

Yes, Kai is a bit of a hothead and operates on passion, but he is also often the one to think things through and devise a clever plan. He figured out that Lloyd was the green ninja, he devised a plan to defeat the Devourer, he successfully double-crossed Chen as part of an elaborate ruse, he came up with the plan to heat up the Realm Crystal so Morro would let Lloyd go, he was the one who told everyone to be wary about giving up their powers to save Lloyd (bc theyd need those powers to protect Ninjago), he solved the Sphinx's riddle, etc. etc. When faced with the opportunity to meet his father in the past, Kai resisted it, even though he deeply, deeply wanted to.

Kai isnt the most booksmart member of the team, but he IS the most clever. He isnt solely the passion and impulse of the team, and when you think about it he actually tends to be pretty rational. Him attacking Ray? He'd been faced with a lot of evidence to suggest Ray was a traitor, and acted accordingly. Wasting lives in Prime Empire? Most video games with limited lives clearly show you how many lives you have left, and none of them knew how to access that mechanic until Scott showed them, so its reasonable that Kai assumed the respawn was infinite. An incorrect assumption, but a valid one.

At the same time, yes, Zane tends to operate on logic and rationale - but as an inverse of Kai, he also chooses the more impulsive and emotion-driven solution just as often. Following a strange bird on a whim. Choosing to free the leviathan instead of fighting it. Rescuing the falcon from the Stone Army despite the risks. Giving half his heart to Pixal and never asking for it back even though this inhibited his combat ability. Being so distraught by Pixal's deletion that he wished himself away then and there. Becoming so devastated by Cole's death that he couldnt think clearly enough to help devise a plan to stop the Oni. Accurately deducing that freeing the mino of its armor would make it less aggressive.

And of course, sacrificing himself to defeat the Overlord, which as far as we can tell was a very impulsive, emotional decision. As was his spur-of-the-moment decision to push Wu out of the way of Aspheera's spell. There wasnt much thought put into these actions, he just moved based on what his heart told him to do and what would ensure his friends' safety.

Zane is actually an incredibly emotion-driven, often impulsive person, and Kai is very logical and rational. Its all about how they appear on the surface - Kai acts like a dumbass and he is a dumbass, but when push comes to shove and lives are on the line, he knows how to be clever and think things through. And Zane acts very cool and restrained, and is a very smart person, but when push comes to shove and lives are on the line, he will typically make the choice most driven by his compassion.

Idk i just think its so interesting that theyre often characterized one way, but their behavior shows a more complicated story

Ninjago post crystalized HC

-Therapy (I was considering only writing that and posting lol)

-Everyone starts finally settling down and a couple of the ninja are even looking into college courses since a lot of their technical skills revolve around fighting and they're kinda sick of that.

-I like to think Jay and Nya open up a mechanic shop together with some silly name like Electric Wave or something along those lines.

-Pixal starts working with Cyrus Borg again

-I think Zane should be an EMT or something like that, since he can asses wounds and work really quickly and has endless knowledge in his database so I think it fits

-Cole probably takes a bit to figure out what he wants to do but I could honestly see him going into psychology since he's pretty empathetic and a chill dude (bestie literally made friends with a snow monster and some dude who'd been a ghost for centuries I think he's got the skill)

-Kai was kinda hard ngl but I think that since he's seemingly ending up with Skylor maybe he helps out at the noodle house? Honestly I'm not sure Kai is tricky for me.

-Lloyd goes into law to some degree, HERE ME OUT, he totally seems like the type who still wants to defend innocents and those who have been wronged and what better way to do that (that doesn't involve ninja powers) I could totally see him fighting so hard for like kids and stuff since his childhood was pretty jacked up too.

-Wu and Misako probably start adventuring again, though more for fun and not looking for answers to anything, it's just to learn more about the world.

-I think it would be funny if Garmadon got a painfully mundane job in an office, like a data entry person or some shit like that would be so funny (like imagine "Oh you need that done? Yeah go ask Folson" and then you find out "Folson" is fucking GARAMDON who's just like chilling at his desk with coffee like "What do you want?")

-Lloyd reconnects with some of his old friends and while they're still a little bedazzled by him but still

-The ninja probably do a couple interviews after Crystalized kinda finally sharing how they really feel and people are shocked how scared their hero's have been this entire time.

-The ninja totally compare scars, like "Dude I got my face scar from literally being turned into a ghost, it's cooler than yours" or "Are lightning scars cool if I accidentally did it myself?"

-Lloyd starts reconnecting with his father again and slowly but surly the man Garmadon once was begin to shine through bit by bit, not fully but clearly he's there.

-Cole helps with reconstruction once his powers start coming back

-They all meet up when they can to do something fun together

-In addition to the last prompt: Sometimes they need to get some energy out and they're like "I need to fight" and they get together to absolutely pummel each other to get the fight out until the next time (Zane has totally recorded a couple of these fights, a particularly flasy one between Kai and Cole is in fact on the internet and people go nuts over it)

-They all pick up hobbies to relax a little: Kai-wood burning Lloyd-felting Zane-baking (he still does it to wind down) Cole-crocheting Nya-knitting (her and Cole fight over which is better by) Jay-skating Pixal-drawing

-Garmadon get's more plants, him and Vinny's new place has the nicest front and back garden and the oxygen in their house is CRISP

-Cyrus Borg kinda adopts Zane like "I already have one nindroid child, what's one more?" they totally have family dinners and I'd like to imagine Pixal's partner (idk who but it's not Zane cause like sibling dynamic> anything) and Cole just kinda siting there with three super geniuses and the two are just like "I forget what I have for lunch sometimes"

-Everyone starts to heal and the world is better... at least until this new show (whether I think of it as cannon is dependent on how much I like it lol)

That's it for now, I will be back, that's a promise and a threat :)

a/n: pixane breakup sorry

They’d fought before he’d left on the trip to the Desert of Doom. Pixal had been distraught after the dust had settled and they’d believed Zane was dead- tortured with the pain of knowing one of her last conversations had been an argument over personal space. An argument where she pushed him away.

“I feel like I am always waiting for you to pay attention to me.” Zane says crossly, the two of them in Pixals garage. She doesn't even know how the conversation devolved into this- Zane had come in while she'd been in the middle of figuring out a particularly challenging mech issue, pestering her to come to dinner.

“I have other responsibilities.” She retorts, “My priorities do not revolve around you, Zane.”

He frowns, frustrated, “I did not say they did. I just wish I could join you more often. I would spend every moment with you if I could.”

Pixal shakes her head before he even finishes, “We have discussed this. I enjoy time to myself. I am no longer in your head, and I would like to be my own person.”

He seems wounded by that, “I am not attempting to take away your independence.” he turns away and the conversation lulls for a moment, “...We have not been on a date in weeks. We sleep in the same bed at night, but I feel lonely.”

Its her turn to get frustrated, “I have informed you multiple times that I am working on a major update for the Samurai X mech, and until it is finished I cannot take the suit out. It is imperative I complete the update as soon as possible.” She loses some ire as his words sink in, “...I know this is not ideal, but we can resume date nights once the update is complete.” She says far gentler this time, taking his hand.

Zanes face twists minutely, “There is always another update.” He says, voice tinged with bitterness.

Her hand feels cold when he pulls his finger away, “What are you trying to say?”

Zane shakes his head, “I do not want to discuss this any further at the moment. We will talk later.” He pulls away, rounding her drafting desk and making a beeline for the door.

When he’s gone, Pixal sits down in her chair heavily. She pushes the conversation to the back of her mind and picks up her pencil again, puzzling over the joint issue she’d been experimenting on for the past 2 weeks. She works late into the night, and by the time she comes to bed Zane is already asleep. In the morning, She wakes up before he does and rolls out of bed, getting dressed and heading out the door towards the garage as he first opens his eyes.

Then he’d left with the other to the Desert of Doom and all hell had broken loose, and then- and then he was gone.

Just like that.

And he died thinking she didn’t care about him.

That's a simplified version of the argument, she knows that, but she cant help it. She feels so guilty about it, even if she wasn’t entirely in the wrong. She needed alone time, it helped her center herself and focus- but there was nothing she wouldn't give for another minute of Zane's clingy presence curled around her on the couch as she works on blueprints and he reads the complete collection of ornithology encyclopedias next to her. She wishes she could take him out on a date again, just once more. Updates could wait.

When he come back from the Never Realm, she is there by his side. She nearly welds herself to his hip with how attached she is, following him around to make up for lost time. She'd missed him so badly it felt like her core had been snapped in two, half of it taken across the ethereal divide with him in his banishment.

Slowly, she realizes he's been wiggling gout of spending time with her. She wakes up to find his spot on the bed empty. She returns from the kitchen with snacks to find the couch empty. Half-baked excuses thrown out left and right so he can squirrel himself away on the roof, or in the grass outside the gates, or tucked away alone in the corner of the library.

that's where she finds him today, at her wits end, confronting him on the way he was avoiding everyone. avoiding her.

“This should make you happy.” Zane says cooly, and there's only a tinge of bitterness to his words, “This is what you wanted, after all.”

Her heart seizes painfully in her chest, her wires curling and her fans kicking into high gear as that simple string of words guts her. “That- That is not fair.” She starts, taking a fumbling step back as if physically struck. Where her stomach would be feels like its filled with bricks.

“It is not fair,” He acquiesces with a downward glance, avoiding her eyes, “Nothing that happened has been.”

“I did not want you to change.”

He smiles and its not a pretty thing, all sharp edged and a bit manic, “And yet, I have changed. Do you still love me?”

“Of course i d-”

“Stop. Stop.” He shakes his head, hauling himself up out of the chair to stand like its a great feat of strength, “You do not know that. You have no idea.”

“I know my feelings toward you.”

“Pixal!” His eyes snap to meet her for the first time in this conversation, and they’re wickedly blue and so, so scared, “This is not about you!”

She reaches out, “Zane-” But he turns away from her, shuttering his expression.

“You do not even know who I am anymore. I am not the man who left you. I am someone else, living in his shell.”

She flounders for a moment, “You are the titanium ninja.” She tries.

He smiles like that’s funny, “If only it were that simple.” He concludes the conversation with that, moving past her. She’s alone in the library surrounded by books with no answers, the sudden silence stunning her and rooting her feet to the spot. She had been horrifically ill equipped for this conversation, but she couldn’t- she couldn't just let him leave. Not like this.

“Wait- Zane!” She whips around to follow him, scrambling out of the room and into the hallway.

She catches up to him in the kitchen where he’s leaning against the counter and looking out the window above the sink. She stops in the doorway, “Please, explain this to me. Why is it not simple?”

He looks at her like he’d already accepted she wouldn’t love him anymore, “I am never going to get better, Pixal.” He says plainly, and the words curdle in the air between them.

She feels like her processor has failed to load, “I do not understand.”

He spreads his arm wide, palms flat and empty, “This is all there is, now. I am all I am. I spent sixty years holding that staff, and it has changed me. All of you are waiting for me to snap back but there is nothing for me to return to. I am cold, and silent, and I want to be alone. I want you all to leave me alone.”

She can’t move, joints locked in heartbreak. All the words she struggles to string together feel so meaningless and pathetic. “I am so sorry, Zane.” She settles on, inadequate.

He slumps back against the counter and raises a hand to his forehead, rubbing at his temples as if this conversation has given him a headache, “All of your issues with me are fixed, Pixal. Be happy. I give you permission to be happy.”

“It doesn’t make me happy.” She says miserably, “You did not need to be fixed.”

“And yet, I am.”

A long pause where nothing is said spreads like blood over the room. Pixal doesn’t know how to salvage this. She loves Zane. She truly does, but he’s- hurt, and he’s confused. She doesn’t know what went on in the Never Realm, just that his sense of self has been ripped from him again. He doesn’t remember who he used to be, “I can help you. I can remind you of who you used to be- I could tell you who you are.”

His hand drops, but he doesn’t raise his eyes from the tiled floor, “Would you tell me what to think?" His voice is flat and toneless, "Who to fight? How to fight? Would you tell me what I've forgotten?”

“I could.” She confirms, taking a step towards him. She knows him, inside and out. She knows him.

“You have no idea… how tempting that is.” He says slowly.

Zane stands up, hip checking himself off the counter, “I’ll be sleeping in the guest room indefinitely. It is best if we terminate our relationship immediately. I will clear my things out of our shared room by 6pm tonight.” He doesn’t break stride as he walks past her and straight out the door.

Pixal has to grab the counter so she doesn’t collapse, devastated. she had to fix this. she had to.

could it be fixed?

Ninjago Headcannons (pt.2)

warnings: none🦐

Kai's the type to pull you closer to him and tell you to take the day off of work bc he doesn't want to stop cuddling

Zane has Nya taste test all of the food he makes because he values her opinion the most(aside from Pixal, who cannot eat)

Nyas the big spoon and Jay's the little spoon

Dareth is a hard core stoner and always smells like weed

Kai has a really extensive skin/body/hair care routine

He'll be in the bathroom for 2 hours on Wednesday and Sunday(his everything shower days) doing skincare, haircare, and body care

He also has one of those skin care headbands to stop his hair from getting in his face while he does his skincare

he also has the scrunchi bracelets to stop water from rolling down his arms when he washes his face

Zane likes those test ur intuition videos on tiktok

Jay can't handle spicy food

Coles a firm believer that you have to try something before you say you don't like it

Jay thinks Takis are spicy

Despite being good with technology, Zane's usually the last one the ninjas go to if they need help with something techy

Kai doesn't like chips, any of them- Takis, lays, cheetos, dorittos, onion rings, not even chicharrones de harina

(Chicharrones are a type of Mexican chips shaped like wheels, usually served with lime juice and some sort of spice mix or sauce)

Nya puts tajín on everything

(for those who don't know what tajín is, it's a seasoning that originates in Mexico. I think it's more salty than spicy but it's really good on fruit)

Cole saw Kai putting chamoy sauce on a slice of chocolate cake once, and since Cole believes in trying things he tried it

He actually really liked it and now puts chamoy sauce on his chocolate cake most of the time

Nya journals and scrapbooks as a hobby

Jays favorite shape of ice is sphere ice

according to him it tastes better when he chews/sucks on it

Nya likes to do those little hair wraps with embroidery string

Nya really wanted to be a girl scout when she was a kid, but never could because money was tight

Jay's allergic to shellfish

They all watch The Real Housewives of Ninjago together

Zane and Lloyd come up with the best code names for people the ninjas talk about a lot

Nya is a pilates girly

She dragged Jay and Kai to a class with her once

Jay struggled and decided he didn't like it but Kai still goes with her sometimes

Cole has bacne

Since Kai's the skincare guru Cole went to him for help

Kai spent an hour searching the internet for a well reviewed bacne wash

He didn't like any of them and just bought Cole the type of face wash he uses and told Cole to wash his back with it

Kai also spent a good amount of time looking for good creams and ointments for Cole to use

But Cole couldn't reach his back to wash it and apply the ointments and creams, so now Kai spends 10 or 15 minutes a day helping Cole with his bacne routine

Lloyd is freakishly flexible

Zane is not flexible at all

silly little thought that circulates my mind everyday but lloyd subconsciously leaning on the ninja or smthn whenever he's tired and the ninja immediately noticing it and doing something about it

maybe they're at the commissioner's office after a battle, reporting to him what happened when Kai feels someone leaning against him. he looks down and sees lloyd loosely wrap his hand around Kai's fingers as he subtly shifts his body weight onto the side leaning against Kai. His face remains focused on the words Nya and Zane were speaking but on a closer glance, Kai saw the way the kid's eyes were blinking fast as if to delay sleep and how he pursed his lips to keep his yawn in

he's clearly exhausted but is fighting it. and Kai was not letting that happen

thus begins Operation: Bedtime™️

Kai settled his eyes on Cole and waited till the other noticed before he tilted his head slightly towards the kid and the earth master instantly understood. cole nudges jay and with one quick glance and jay was already- metaphorically- rolling up his sleeves

Jay: GUYS! I- uh, FORGOT TO TURN OFF MY TOASTER AGAIN! Whoops, haha! silly me :D

Nya: jay how many times have i told you to stop making eggs in your toastoH OH YEAH ME TOO

the second he hears toaster, zane is already asking pixal to send their vehicles and that Operation: Bedtime™️ is a go

rushing bc im hungry but basically the Commish is like ????tf ing but Cole is already picking up Lloyd who is startled for a hot second before Kai pets his hair and he literally just *shlump* against Cole while Zane has opened the door and Nya and Jay are trying to explain the commisioner that they'll text the rest of the deets later and just. runs.

six minutes and at least three broken traffic laws, they're back at the monastery and are running-as gently as possible- to Lloyd's room where Pixal and Master Wu has already turned on the night light, made sure the humidifier is running and the beds ready

with a flurry of movement and sharp whispers, Lloyd is finally asleep tucked into bed with Kai's old dragon plushie cuddled to his chest and warm blankets covering him as the ninja pat themselves on the back as a "mission accomplished" and also look at their little greenie fondly

this doesnt happen often though bc after bad experiences with lloyd not sleeping properly and him almost getting hurt due to it, zane has like an internal alarm for Lloyd's bedtime and if he is not in bed five minutes after the alarm by himself, the ninja will Not Hesitate

Operation: Bedtime™️ is an extremely sensitive, high priority mission that needs to be executed perfectly because the only time it's intiated is when lloyd shows signs of tiredness which he is usually very good at hiding (to a concerning amount)

#ninjago #lego ninjago #this got longer than expected #the dragon plushie idea is from twig-sprigs awesome corrupted kai au btw def check it out #just imagine these early 20 something year olds going into parent mode when their kid-teenage brother shows any sign of sleepiness #let lloyd garmadon just be a kid #lloyd garmadon #kai smith #zane julien #cole brookstone #jay walker #nya smith #ninjago lloyd #this was nice maybe ill ramble more #but am very shy #ok goodbye

Cant rlly decide which one but what ab the ninja helping each other tend their wounds?

I put a lot of thought into this (and if you're seeing this and sent an ask, I'm working on the rest of them. I just don't really have time to write except at night right now) so I hope you enjoy, anon!

“Guys, do you feel that?”

“Feel what?”

“It's so warm.” Jay sighed contently with a smile on his face and despite rolling her eyes, Nya still wrapped her arm around his hip and pulled him closer to her.

PIXAL couldn’t help but wonder what had happened in the Never Realm without her assistance but, given the bright pink tint to all of their cheeks as well as the gash across Lloyd’s forehead and bruising on Cole’s arms, it looked as though it had not been a very pleasant experience.

In fact, the only one who looked somewhat normal was Zane, who she had been unable to stop herself from jumping into his arms and yet, even he looked worse for wear; something in his bright blue eyes ached of a sadness that she couldn’t understand nor wanted to dissect in front of the others for his sake.

“While I am glad to see all of you,” Wu finally broke the greetings, turning all of their attention towards him, “perhaps all of you making your way to the medical wing would be a good idea.”

“In the nicest way possible,” PIXAL added, her hand grasped tightly around Zane’s, “all of you are looking a bit worse for wear.”

“Good idea.” Kai agreed, his vision obviously fixated on Lloyd and Nya despite his raw palms, which was only made more clear by his gentle nudging against their shoulder blades.

Jay and Cole followed suit with Wu trailing behind them, leaving the two of them alone in the courtyard, her hand still tightly gripped in his.

“Are you in need of repairs?” She finally asked as she let go of his hand to fully focus her green eyes on him, trying to look past his blue eyes to figure out just what was bothering him.

“I do not believe so.”

“Good. Are you able to be of assistance with the others, then?”

“I’m afraid not,” Zane shook his head, “I need some time to myself, I think, to regain my bearings.”

“Very well. But, when you are ready to talk, I am ready to listen.”

“Thank you, PIXAL.” Zane nodded before making his way towards his sleeping quarters which gave her no choice but to make her way toward the med bay and the workload that lay before her in the form of varying degrees of frostbite at the very least.

It wasn’t unusual for Kai’s concern over the others, especially Nya and Lloyd, to echo throughout the hall leading to the medical wing; after the haunting silence that had filled the monastery for the last couple of weeks, the ruckus was welcoming.

Sure enough, when she stepped through the sliding doors, Kai was sitting on the edge of the cot that Lloyd had taken residence in with Nya and Jay sitting together on the one a few beds down with Nya resting her head on Jay’s shoulder as her glance was firmly fixated on Cole, who had already taken one of the pillows and covered his eyes with it.

Despite the circumstances, seeing all of them together made her smile for a moment before she ran her hands under the running water and donned a pair of nitrile gloves; she turned away from the counter and made eye contact with the five ninja as she asked, “who’s first?”

After some insistence on everyone’s end, trying to get someone else to be the first one, PIXAL decided on Cole so he could go ahead and get what looked like some much needed sleep; he had been uncharacteristically quiet since he had stepped through the portal but she also knew that if she needed to know what was going on in his mind that he would come to her in his own time.

Despite having been a part of their group for a few years now, she still did not feel comfortable pressing any of them to speak to her. Not that she usually had to, with how often they would come to her and vent their individual issues to her as she repaired yet another vehicle or mech.

Maybe it was the fact that she spent a good chunk of time behind Zane’s eyes, with no one speaking directly to her except for Zane until she uploaded her subconscious into The Bounty’s computer while she continued to rebuild herself into the best version she could be.

But Cole didn’t have any severe injuries and was sent out of the med bay to go lay down almost as soon as she started to prod at his unnaturally cold skin. The same was true of Jay, who was the least injured and exhausted of the group, and Nya, who had the familiar dark circles of exhaustion weighing her under eyes down.

Kai’s eyes followed Nya as she walked out of the room, but he quickly snapped his gaze towards PIXAL when she started to examine the red, puffy skin that covered his hands and tried to pull away from her.

“I’m fine, I didn’t hit my head on a tree trunk after being in a different realm for less than twenty four hours.” He insisted, his gaze pointedly on Lloyd as he pointed out the comparison, who flipped him off in return as exhaustion weighed heavy on his face.

“I will address Lloyd’s injuries as well,” she insisted as she pulled out the tube of burn cream and started to apply it to Kai’s injured palms, “but these need to be wrapped up if you do not wish for them to become infected.”

PIXAL didn’t mention that the look of guilt engrained in Lloyd’s features was making her wonder if she knew what had resulted in Zane being so distant when he stepped through the portal after weeks of being alone in a cold, foreign realm.

It didn’t take long for her to wrap up the burns that made their way up Kai’s lower wrists, despite how extensive they were, and send him to his room to get some much needed rest with a promise of checking on how the wounds were healing in a few hours.

She couldn’t help but wonder what Kai said to Lloyd in a whisper just loud enough that it hit his ear before making his way through the sliding doors and leaving the two of them in the room alone; she was quiet as she worked, gently wrapping his cold fingers in loose bandages, cleaning the gash on his forehead and checking the dilation of his pupils which revealed a mild concussion.

It wasn’t until she asked if he had any other injuries and he tugged off the top half of his jade green gi that she found herself holding back a gasp of shock.

The rest of the ice that had remained from the Never Realm had been white and tinged with snow, but PIXAL recognized blue-tinged ice all too well; it was the ice that came from her boyfriend’s fingertips, proving her correct in her hypothesis about Lloyd knowing why Zane had been so distant.

When she finally found the courage to make contact with the green eyes, she could see the regret spilling off of him as she spoke while gently examining the sides of the burn that trailed down most of his right side.

“I think it would be wise for you to tell me why this burn was caused by elemental ice.”

“It’s not-” Lloyd flinched away from her gloved hands with a hiss through his teeth while he gripped the side of the cot tightly in his left hand, “it’s not my place.”

“Lloyd, you are injured and I am doing my best to help you heal,” she explained calmly as she pulled her hands away and approached the counter again to soak one of the compresses in warm water, “that being said, knowing how you obtained the injury will allow me to determine if there is a need to be on the lookout for internal damage.”

He remained quiet as she continued to prepare the compress, making sure that it was warm enough to rewarm the skin but not so hot that it would only cause more harm than good; while she worked, she couldn’t help but wonder why.

Why had Zane attacked Lloyd? Just how distraught was he when he was finally found by the others? And to her, possibly the most worrying thought that made its way to the forefront of her mind was how upset was he with the others now?

“It wasn’t his fault,” Lloyd blurted out with another hiss of pain as she pressed the compress onto his skin, “all of it, it wasn’t…he was lied to.”

“Please, Lloyd. I wish to know exactly what happened, for everyone’s sake,” she stopped to maneuver the compress so it covered the entirety of the burn, “and it’s not like you do not have the time to speak to me.”

It seemed to PIXAL that her words were the final push that Lloyd had needed to finally give her all of the details. About the Ice Emperor, about the final message he found in the cave and about Vex and how he had twisted Zane’s erased mind into a ruler set on destruction and control.

“That’s how I got this,” Lloyd finished with a gesture to his side, “I was trying to stop him and because he had that scroll, I…I wasn’t able to keep him busy for long.”

“I never did like holding that scroll.” PIXAL pressed her lips together tightly in order to keep her thoughts about what she would have done to Vex if she had followed them to herself, all while gathering the supplies to loosely wrap the burn.

“You and me both.” Lloyd’s chuckle was dry as it hit her ears but not surprising, given what Nya had told her about both Lloyd’s experience holding the scroll as well as the mirror that sat inside of the Explorer’s Club.

“I require you to sit up, if you are able,” she spoke, unable to keep herself from gritting her teeth in sympathy as he pushed himself upright with his brows furrowed in pain, before she was able to start wrapping the large burn loosely, “I will speak to Zane if you wish, he might be more receptive to my interpretation of the situation.”

“Which is?”

“That he was brainwashed into going against his programming and that I have some very strong choice words for this “Vex” for what he did to him as well as the others.”

“Good inter-” a yawn cut him off, “interpretation.”

“You should get some rest,” PIXAL insisted while pulling the clean, white sheet over him, “I shall return in around an hour to see if I need to continue to treat your burn with the compress. Would you like me to ask Kai if he will keep you company?”

“Nah, he needs the rest.” Lloyd mumbled as he rested his pink-tinted cheek against the white pillowcase, his hair sprawling around his head.

As soon as she could hear the snoring, however, PIXAL knew she couldn’t rest and made her way out of the medical wing of the monastery towards the individual sleeping quarters.

After all, she still had to speak to Zane.

It Gets Cuter

Zane has plans for Valentine's Day that no one was expecting. Takes place shortly after Crystalized. ~1100 words

Valentine's day was always a bit of a mess at the monastery. Love is great, but stopping danger takes priority, and it seemed like every year there was someone intent on feeling most important. This year had been Killow’s turn, and the team was now stuck in the Samurai X cave, repairing surface level damages to their vehicles after the fight so they could be safely stored for the night. Groups were scattered across the room, but Zane, Nya, and Kai were gathered around the Dragon Raider, finishing out their required repairs at a decent rate.

“You and Jay have dinner reservations or anything?” Kai asked.

“No, we’re doing junk food dinner.” Nya smiled, glancing up from her work. “Nothing but piles of snacks and sweets until we eat ourselves into a coma in front of the TV. It’s fantastic.”

“That actually does sound amazing,” Her brother agreed.

“What about you? Did you make plans with Sky?” Nya asked.

“Yeah, she asked me to do this escape room thing with a bunch of friends. You know, a group date to keep things light while we’re starting out.”

“Honestly, that’s a good idea,” Nya shrugged. “You go in too fast, and sometimes things get… messy.”

Kai glanced over at his unusually quiet teammate. He seemed rather distracted as he worked, his mind obviously occupied by something else. “What about you Zane?”

Zane’s eyes popped up to his friends, pulled out of his internal world. “What about me?”

“Yeah,” Nya shrugged. “You have any Valentine’s plans tonight?”

Zane cast his eyes to the ground, embarrassed, letting out a long sigh. His complexion turned upward again, his voice lowered, and his lips smiling with tentative excitement.

“I’m finally going to tell Pixal I have feelings for her.”

The faces of his companions froze in their anticipation, Kai in particular shutting down as he tried to process the news he had been given.

“You… what?” Nya leaned forward in concern, placing down her wrench.

“I’m finally gonna tell her how I feel.” Zane reiterated, his face distorted in worry at the blank responses he got back. “Do you think it’s a bad idea, or-”

“Dude… I think she already knows.” Kai pressed, his own words still unsure of the situation as he spoke them.

“You think so?!” Zane’s eyes grew wide in surprise, glancing behind him at the nindroid in question. “She is pretty good at reading people,” he reasoned.

Nya stepped forward, putting a hand on his arm. “Zane, she’s your girlfriend, I think-”

Zane began to chuckle. “What? No! I wish! I mean, maybe. Hopefully! That’s why I’m gonna tell her. I’ve had a crush on her for a while now.”

“But you-” Kai chimed in, still frozen in place, his face stuck in a state of stupor, the gears in his head churning away as he tried desperately to make sense of the interaction. “I’m sorry.” He finally broke, shoving his hands through his hair.

“Have you two really not talked about this before?” Nya stepped in front of her brother, attempting to distract the newly fragile Zane from his reaction.

“No. Why? Do you think I waited too long?” The panic in his voice was palpable, but the confusion which filled the air was still much stronger.

“Yeah! I mean, no,” Nya calmed herself. “I don’t think you’ve missed your window or anything, but… I definitely think you could have done it earlier.” She sighed as she began to mutter. “Like the second after you met her earlier.”

“Hold on.” Kai broke in again, stepping forward, having found some sense of footing. “I’m still… But you two were like, the same person, right?”

“She was implanted into my systems for a period, yes.” Zane agreed.

“How is that not like… the most intense form of dating?” Kai’s eyes turned down as he spoke, the question more for himself at this point.

“Zane, if she was in your systems for all that time, couldn’t she… read your thoughts? Wouldn’t she already know how you feel about her?” Nya offered.

“I suppose it’s possible.” Zane mused, turning back around to observe his hopeful Valentine. “I never went as far as to observe her thoughts. She was very respectful of my privacy as far as I’m aware, but I suppose there are some things it would be difficult to conceal-”

“How did we not know?” Kai began a sibling sidebar as Zane continued to analyze his situation. “...Do you think she knows?”

“I think she- I mean she has to, right?” Nya reasoned, both of them now stuck watching Pixal as she noticed the glance of her admirer, and softly waved at him, a bashful amount of blush gracing her cheeks. “...honestly, I can't be sure about anything anymore.”

“I’m so nervous.” Zane turned around to face his companions. “If she does know, why has she not spoken to me about it?”

“Hey, buddy,” Nya grabbed both his hands, attempting to focus him. “If it makes you feel any better… I think she likes you too.”

Zane’s face exploded with hope, perhaps even on the verge of tears. “You think?!”

“I can guarantee.” Nya nodded.

“I’m going to do it. I’m so excited!” Zane again turned around, not being able to help looking at the center of his affection.

“How are you going to tell her?” Nya asked, the shock finally beginning to subside a bit.

“Well, I spoke with her father,” Zane started, spinning back around. “And he helped me make up a pair of those heart necklaces, only the heart isn’t a heart, it’s meant to look like the two halves of our power source, and the metal is reclaimed from my original technoblade, which brought us together in the first place.”

“Oh gosh, it’s so cute.” Kai breathed out, leaning over his vehicle.

“Right, because that’s how you freed her from the overlord’s control.” Nya nodded along.

Zane grinned, beginning to chuckle. “Well, no. Because she fought me for them in the woods.”

Kai fully crumpled over the hood of the car. “It gets cuter-”

“You know what,” Nya started, her heart also melting at the gesture described to her. “We’re almost done here, why don’t you go get ready to surprise her, and we can finish up the rest.”

“You’re sure?” Zane nearly jumped with excitement.

“Go!” Kai urged him, raising his head back up. “Master knows you’ve waited long enough already!”

Zane looked at them both graciously. “Thanks so much for your help!” His energy took him across the room quickly, almost skipping. At one point he turned around to wave back at his friends, which they both, much less exuberantly, returned.

“There he goes,” Nya mused.

Kai remained slumped over the Dragon Raider, his mind now as full as Zane’s had been just a few moments earlier. “I think I need to like… go lay down for a second.”

“Maybe you should talk to Skylor-”

“I really should.”

Can you make one where the reader is an oni but shape shifted into a human many years ago, and Wu brought them one the team with everyone else. The oni reader was initially a spy but over time grew feelings for one of the ninjas or Pixal. The ninja and pixal learn that they are an oni and was originally a spy by another oni who escaped from season 10 fight. I need Angst and Fluff.

Can do! Honestly I kinda wanna make a full length fic based on this on AO3, lmk if anyone is interested…

Also, I did this one with Nya bc you didn’t specify which one you wanted, hope that’s okay!!

Word count: 1.2k

Ninjago - Nya With an Oni Spy

You hastily adjusted your hair and clothing while you speed-walked through the forest. One of the downsides of shifting into your human form was that you always looked a mess right after.

When you first began your mission as a spy for the Oni, this annoyed you because you’d frequently change between your human form and your Oni form. While you gave your frequent reports to your Oni higher-ups, you’d be in Oni form. When you were with the ninjas, you’d be in human form.

Luckily this wasn’t much of a problem anymore. You’d been successful in distancing yourself from your Oni connections over time, coming up with clever excuses to avoid your meetings and offering scant information when you were forced to. This frustrated your commanders to no end, but they had other matters to worry about, so you got away with it. You smirked to yourself at the memory of the General’s face as you again reported that you found “nothing worth mentioning.” You imagined steam coming out of his ears and had to put your hand over your mouth to keep from laughing.

The Bounty was in view now. Climbing on deck, you didn’t see anyone. Strange, you thought. They should’ve finished patrols an hour ago.

A crashing noise from the cabin caught your attention. Following it, you pressed your ear to the door first, trying to discern who (or what) might’ve caused the noise.

Your heart shriveled and fell from your chest when you heard a familiarly gravelly voice say: “We have our ways of knowing things.”

It was the General. He must’ve been caught after your meeting! You burst into the room in your excitement, not bothering to think.

You locked eyes with the General. His glowing eyes were burning with indignation. After a moment he seemed to recognize your human form, and a sense of amusement overtook his expression.

“Speak of the little deviant,” he spat, nodding at you.

The eyes of all the ninjas were now on you. You found shock, disbelief, anger, and betrayal in their faces.

You scrambled to defend yourself. “Come on, guys, you can’t believe this guy! Do you really think I’m an Oni spy sent here to monitor your every move?”

Your words didn’t help at all. If anything, they solidified the upset looks in your friends’ faces. “We never said anything about a spy,” Kai said, crossing his arms.

You paled. Realizing that there was no way out of it now, you began: “Can you at least let me explain—”

Angry shouts silenced you.

“You filthy liar!” Jay pointed accusingly.

“Dude…” Cole just shook his head.

“I can’t believe I trusted you!” Kai took a step forward, as if to attack you, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

The hand belonged to Nya. You looked into her dark eyes, struck with the thorough pain filling the dark brown pupils. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, and she turned her head away. Somehow, that was more painful than anything she could’ve said.

“Nya…” you breathed, shoulders slumping in devastation.

Kai, perceiving his sister’s anguish, grabbed her hand. “Don’t talk to her,” he spat protectively. “Don’t talk to any of us. Just get out of here!”

You looked at the others. Lloyd. Wu. Someone who might have a little more sense than to just throw you out on the spot. But you found no such person in the room. It was clear that they all wanted you gone.

As you turned to leave, you heard the dark cackling of the Oni General. You paused in the threshold, fists balling up. Your anger made you rigid; you found yourself frozen in place as each disgusting laugh stoked a fire in your chest.

After a few seconds, you whirled around, flying at the General. With four arms you came at him, knocking the chair to which he was tied over. In the commotion one of your claws snapped the rope, and the General sprang up, sending you sprawling to the side.

He might’ve been bigger than you (even in your Oni form), but you were younger, and faster. You seized his ankles, digging your claws in and pulling. He fell flat on his face, and while he was stunned you pounced on his back, pinning him down. You pressed your knee into the back of his neck.

“You traitor! I always knew you had a soft spot for humans! You are a disgrace to the Oni!”

“I don’t care. My loyalties lie nowhere near you monsters.”

The General gasped with difficulty. “You speak as if you are not one of us.”

“As far as I’m concerned,” a high voice piped up from the sidelines, “they’re not one of you.”

You whirled around, heart already soaring, to see Nya stepping forward. She smiled at you—smiled!—and placed a hand on your shoulder. You gazed into each other’s eyes for a long time. The General suddenly stopped squirming under you.

“Ack…” you stood up suddenly, awkwardly realizing that you’d just choked him unconscious. “Oops.”

Now that you were at your full height, Nya stepped closer. She looked up at you, eyes glancing over your devilish face. Your heart throbbed with anxiety, but there was acceptance in her face, and she reached to grab two of your hands as she looked over the rest of your body.

“Do you trust me?” You murmured, anxious to hear her response. In that moment, you didn’t even care what the others thought. So long as this beautiful gem before you believed that you’d never hurt them—never hurt her—you’d be satisfied.

She took a second to respond. Then, with a little smirk, she brought a hand to cup your cheek. “I knew it couldn’t be true.”

“I was a spy,” you blurted. “At first.” Her eyes narrowed, and you scrambled to continue. “But you… you changed the way I thought about you ninjas. I stopped giving information after a few weeks. If anything, I’d give them misinformation. I wanted to keep you safe.”

You brought a pair of arms to cup her face. “And I want to keep helping you. I don’t believe in the Oni anymore. I believe in you.” You looked up, sending devotional glances to everyone in the room. “More than that,” you returned your gaze to Nya, “I love you.”

Nya’s eyes sparkled. A huge grin curved her plump lips as she moved her hand to the back of your neck and pulled you down to kiss you.

When you pulled away, completely dazed with your heart thumping at a million miles an hour, she was still smiling. “I love you too. That’s why I knew you were on our side.”

You had forgotten about the others in the room. You jumped when Lloyd placed his hand on your shoulder and told you he was glad to have such an ally. The others echoed his sentiment, assuring you that they didn’t care what you were, they only cared what you were now, and that was their friend.

Nya shot you a mischievous look when they said that. “Maybe a little more than friends,” it seemed to say. You felt your cheeks darken again, and you returned the look with an eyebrow wiggle. That got the whole room laughing.

Looking at your friend’s faces, your only regret was not leaving the Oni sooner. Especially for her. “My flower,” you murmured under your breath, gaze lingering on the beautiful laughing girl.

Thank you for your request! And thanks for reading, take care of yourselves everypony <33

cuddling

" Jay and Nya have a rare free day. They spend the morning together in bed. "

relationships: jay/nya tws: none wc: 595 extra: tooth rotting fluff yum....

read on ao3!

The room was warm. The lights were off, and the curtains were opened just enough to let a few rays of sun shine through. It heated up every surface it touched, and illuminated the room dimly.

Kai and Cole were on patrol duty today, which meant the others had a rare opportunity to stay home. Lloyd was in the kitchen, most likely cooking something for himself, and as for Zane and Pixal, they had mentioned something about training together, practicing their joint combat.

That left Nya and Jay here, in bed together, their limbs entangled and with the covers half covering them.

They had been awake for a while now - it was hard to get out of the usual habit of waking up at ungodly hours -, but had stayed in bed, preferring to bask in each other’s company in silence.

The others would probably make comments if they knew Jay had spent the night in her room, Nya mused. The thought made her chuckle, her eyes staring into the ceiling as she kept thinking.

Her trail of thought was cut short when she felt Jay shift, his lips pressing against her neck as he nuzzled her shoulder. She instinctively moved her head a little further, glancing at him.

They exchanged a few looks, a silent conversation taking place, before Jay resumed with his kisses, slow and sweet, trailing them all over her neck.

Nya let out a sigh, playfully rolling her eyes. Her hand moved to tangle in his hair, gently scratching the back of his head as a means to reciprocate.

This went on for a little while. Jay occasionally moved to press kisses on another close area, and Nya would respond with her own affectionate touches.

He laid on top of her by now, his arms wrapped around her waist and pressing to always be closer to her. Nya enjoyed the feeling, the sweet affection they couldn’t afford to indulge in often.

Most days, they barely could steal any time to themselves, between training, patrols, or the others in the Monastery. So whenever they had the chance to cuddle and spend so much time together, just the two of them, they took it wholeheartedly.

On Nya’s face had formed a fond smile, from all the thinking and reminiscing. She always ended up like this whenever she thought of Jay; sappy, and soft, and while she didn’t like it much when they were younger, she had to admit it was a pleasant feeling.

She glanced back to Jay to express her feelings once again, only for her smile to drop as she spoke up for the first time since they had woken up.

“If you bite me I’m kicking you out.”

Jay froze, his mouth slowly closing as he settled his head back against her shoulder. He stared up at Nya, a pout on his face and with tired puppy eyes. She deadpanned back at him.

“You’re so mean to me.”

“You just tried to bite me??”

“It’s affectionate!”

The two of them laughed, Nya shaking her head with a sigh, and Jay moving back up to press a kiss to her face.

“If you truly loved me you’d let me bite you.”

She stared at him, raising an eyebrow. Her head tilted to the side, and she flicked his forehead.

“Whatever you say, Jay.”

She heard him let out a yell of protest as she laughed, ruffling his hair. Jay wrestled to get out of her hold, and they bickered through their laughs.

Ah, they truly loved the mornings they could spend together.
