R&J Clown Takes Special Edition (+ Shakespeare Clownery)β€”My & Juliet Angst Is Killing Me
The Folgers alas stooped to interviewing the ~geniuses behind the jukebox musical & Juliet, and so of course they got to air out both their R&J and their Shakespeare clownery for the whole Internet, the finest meat for my clown-eatery. We feast tonight! Spoilers, of course
R&J Hate Dumb
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Romeo is many things, but shallow isn’t one of them. If he or Juliet were, their love affair would have been over when they first found out they were each other’s enemy. There is only one thing shallow about Shakespeare’s play and that is Veronian society itself, deliberately depicted as such.
Tumblr media
These knuckleheads then go on to reference Romeo bro-ing with his bros as β€œproof” of this. Never mind that Mercutio and Benvolio weren’t supposed to know about R&J’s relationship, no one could, so Romeo getting them off his tail and being normal can be in no way performative. Juliet has her Nurse on the know so she doesn’t have to perform either. And again, she has to make sure her parents aren’t on her tail. Even then, though, she makes sure not to lie (technically).
The only point where either Romeo and Juliet can be said to be in any way performative is Romeo’s β€œlove” for Rosaline and Juliet having to come up with a diplomatic response to her mother and nurse on the question of marriage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
β€œOlder pair of lovers” with β€œTeenage Dream” with nightingale and lark rip-off…it’s giving unintentional parody. It’s giving β€œno thoughts, head empty.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Romeo β€œI killed myself for my true love and honored my rival’s dying request to be lain with her because of course that is perfectly logical to me” Montague, an ego?????? This is arguably worse than Fey!Romeo. What is with modern musicals and their insistence that every single male love interest/character be a huge egotistical dick?
Shakespeare Hate Dumb
Tumblr media
Because of course a small town 16th century SAHM who ran a merchant house and stored 800 bushels of malt for ale would be more ~progressive about gender and social issues than a classics-educated theater actor and writer who traveled England and wrote genderbending social comedies and whose sonnets are frequently interpreted as bierotic. Because men smart, woman smarter, always!!! No thoughts, head empty!!!!
Tumblr media
Die (Reprise, andante con grande emozione).
Also, Something Rotten called, they’re suing you for copyright infrigement. Is this Shakespeare going to complain about how it’s hard to be the bard too? Seriously, wtf?
Okay, so Tumblr won’t let me add in another screenshot, but I have to talk about the fact that these numbskulls straight up confessed they wanted to do a Max Martin musical (per producer diktat) and came up with the R&J plot afterward because, and I kid you not…most of Martin’s songs are about young teen love. πŸ˜‘ Yeah, dude, like 95% of all pop music ever since the Beatles.
Also, also, not all songs about young teen love necessarily fit R&J!!! From what I can tell, the songs they chose have little to no relevance to the characters or dynamic at all, hence this new fanfic plot. And judging by the excerpts, I don’t think they even bothered changing the lyrics to fit the new context. They really should have just changed the names Γ  la West Side Story, but they definitely knew the show wouldn’t have sold as well without the tie-in. It just pisses me off, this consistent disrespect for the source material all the while exploiting it for profit.
Bonus: Very ~Apropos Song Lyrics
Tumblr media
Because of course these lyrics about a breakup completely fit a girl who just found her love dead beside her, having committed suicide. πŸ™ƒ No thoughts, head empty

Oh I see! Wow okay so like did you or others don't feel bad about being kicked out and like having to leave your parents when at some point after parents are too old to not be able to take care of themselves then who takes care of them? I am sorry if I am being intrusive or weird but I am just curious as I said. I would love to know how this works since my mom was complaining about me and my sibling the other day saying Americans have one thing really cool they just kick their children out so no more dealing with kids after 18 and children sucking parents' blood and other shit. Anyway, if you're comfortable please tell us more πŸ™ƒ
It's okay! I was upset when I was kicked out because I had to go and live with a friend and her parents and that made me sad. But I think very broadly speaking, the expectation is most kids move out when they graduate high school and either move into dorms for college or they get a job and live on their own/with roommates. I don't know anyone who feels sadness about it? It's a cultural expectation, so like, there is excitement around being independent and having your own space. And of course not all parents enforce this expectation and there are people who live at home longer- but I do think the older you get in your 20s and still living with your parents, it comes with a stigma of like, being lazy or a failure, if that makes sense?
American's also don't care for the elderly the way they do in other cultures. We have assisted living facilities you pay to care for your aging parents, or nurses that can go in and assist with day to day living if your parents can mostly live on their own. My grandparents still live on their own, and the only one who didn't was my grandfather who went to an assisted facility when he had alzhiemers and needed more specialized care.
I think its a trade off? If you can't live with your parents once you become a legal adult (or they expect you to pay rent to live there), then they shouldn't expect you to care for them when they age? It'll vary person to person of course, but I don't think I'd let my mom move in with me

My thoughts on the rest of Crystalized!!!
So... I'm obviously extremely late to the party πŸ˜…
I kinda fell out of the fandom and the show, which is a bit sad since I've been a long time fan since the Masters of Spinjitzu era, but I do wanna finish it. Especially since more stuff is coming this way as well between Dragon Rising and that new LEGO Dreamzzz! BACK TO THE LEGO RABBIT HOLE I GO! πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
I watched the season until episode 12 so they way I left it was Lloyd being kidnapped (AGAIN), the guys are criminals, there's an evil organization made of the villains of Ninjago and Harumi is back. So, troubles
Now, I think I got a couple of spoilers, although I'm not 100% sure. I know everything is well at the end because of course it is, I know Garmadon comes back which I really wanna see, the Overlord is back because of course it's the flipping last season after all and I think Haruki gets... redemption? 🀨
I thought her dying the way her parents did because of her own actions was enough but eh, what do I know πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Not a fan of this but who knows, maybe it's gonna be good!
Don't think people care about these thoughts, but I like putting them down so eh πŸ™ƒ
I'm back to Ninjago!! 😍
NOTES
I might be a little salty in these, there are things I like about this last season but others I think are annoying. I feel like it's inevitable given how long Ninjago went on and in general it's going good. Still, this is me half happy half complaining πŸ™ƒ Of course these are only my opinions
That being said THE WEEKEND WHIP REMIXES ARE THE BEST THING EVER AND THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION
Okay I'm pointing out a lot of little things but those are just from my pov. And perhaps people that started to watch from the new seasons of Ninjago will not see these issues I instead have, so I understand how it might be only me
I WILL SCREAM ABOUT STUFF I DON'T LIKE HERE NONETHELESS
Also I don't like Lloyd x Harumi, so there's gonna be salt about that. Sorry πŸ˜…
I've liked the episodes going for the finale better than the ones at the beginning so there's that!
A SINISTER SHADOW
THE FLIPPING SPIDER SONG AAAAHHH
I do know your story Harumi I've been watching Ninjago for more than 10 years nothing will surprise me over how- AH YOU SURVIVED WTF
Overlord I'm guessing?
YOU DID NOT CALL GARMADON A POOR CHAMPION YOU FOOL
Wait the Overlord can just... resurrect people? That sounds weird for the Lord of Darkness, but okay
Wait so she learned nothing? I thought the whole point of the end of Hunted was that she saw that even with the best intentions people get hurt, and despite her wanting the best she almost caused a family to go through what she did... GUESS NOT
AAAHHH CALLED IT hi Overlord
Ah, she knows he's a ticking bomb, at least she's not stupid and doesn't accept the deal
Never mind, dang it Harumi
I see what the vengestone was for, and where it came from of course. Shintaro is always a delight to see though
"Do you think I'm unprepared for the ninja?" Dude you were barely a challenge, I feel like they were too prepared for what they encountered 🀣
I like the "of course", like she didn't trust that king for a second πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Now the weapons are important again? I'm a bit confused but I guess it makes sense to use them before the end, although I feel like they lost a bit of the hype they had at the very beginning (they don't even shine all pretty anymore 😒😒)
WHOOPS LLOYD STILL GOT A CRUSH I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL
Wait Lloyd looked for her??? Whoa
GIRL YOU LEFT YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT HIM FOR NOT LOOKING HARD ENOUGH YOU'RE JUST BEING DIFFICULT
LLOYD YOU DESERVE NOTHING OF WHAT SHE DID TO YOU THIS IS NOT OKAY
Okay I don't like the ship but I feel like it will happen... whatever πŸ™„
This also bothers me, the newest seasons showed that somehow the moment the guys lose their powers they are done. THAT'S NOT IT. Give me struggles, give me some normal fighting! They are ninja aside from elemental masters!!
So I wouldn't say I'm salty about this, but Lloyd's been kidnapped a whole lot and it's kinda old at this point πŸ˜… He's the Green Ninja yet somehow this is how it ends, but oh well, he does always escape
Kinda the meme anyway
Harumi, Lloyd might be gullible, but he's not disillusioned like you. This will bite you eventuallt and I can't wait for that
THE SPIDERS DESIGN
Ooookay, the spider is Harumi's symbol, is this about the actual plan of the Overlord?
NOT THE MECHA SPIDER I STILL GOT NIGHTMARES OF THAT THING GETTING OUT OF ZANE'S CHEST 😱😱
Stop destroying the bounty please 😭
YOU STOPPED THE MAILMAN NOOO I WANTED TO SEE NINJAGO'S RULER! 😒
Daaaaamn, Wu is piiiiiiissed
Imagine being this cocky threatening the guy that is straight up the son of the god that made Ninjago itself. Had it not been for the laws of this land, Wu would've slaughtered you
Also despite being against what the ninja are doing he still protects them, that's our sensei!
BEST GIRLS REUNITED
Ah
For a moment I thought engineer Jay had returned and was getting excited, but he's just into trains. Super cute still but... I miss my favourite engineer 😒
I'm guessing that will be helpful later
Lloyd is still so sweet with her, she really doesn't deserve any of it
Weak? Remind me Harumi, who lost control of a powerful warlord and died by the consequences of her own actions? I'll tell you, it is not the guy who DESERVES BETTER THAN YOU
YOU WERE LITERALLY THE VILLAIN AND YOU DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN POOR CHOICES HARUMI
STOP ACCUSING OTHERS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Ah, she does not want innocents to get hurt... could've fooled me πŸ™„
This is the oni part, I think Lloyd will go through that... which also confuses me. Like. Why always Lloyd? Can't it be Wu? Wu's oni side should be stronger...
Also after Mystake we know not all onis are bad so we went through it already... but I guess we forgot about her
NOT ME THOUGH 😭😭😭
... Harumi... please tell me you're not planning to kill the ninja again
You tried already. Several times. IT. DOES. NOT. STICK. You think you're hot [redacted] and can kill them just like that but you just can't. And you'll see how flipping idiotic you're being
AAHH HATE SPIDERS
Yep, that tram is useful, called it
NOT THE LEGO TEARS PLEASE I'M WEAK TO THAT but also we literally went through this at the end of Sons of Garmadon. In way larger scale and more dramatic scale. This bothers a bit me, it's basically a redo with spider thingies. It's not as thrilling
Of course they're not dead
Harumi your plan is so flawed and you're too arrogant to see it
ONI POWER ONI POWER ONI POWER
Again, we saw that oni can be good, so this feels a bit weak as an effort to turn Lloyd bad. You think this is the first time he fought against darkness?
Idk I feel a bit disappointed by some stuff, but the new season don't take Hunted into account so I guess that's fair
THE FALL OF THE MONASTERY
Of course, cause that thing just can't help but be destroyed at some point, luck as good as the bounty's πŸ˜…
But seriously, we saw Harumi trying to break Lloyd by killing her friends. Even when he thought they were gone he didn't give up. I just don't understand why doing it again just for the kicks, it feels lazy
Gotta say, buried underground is scary
Cole's been deeper indeed, any mention of the amazing Cole season is welcomed 😍
Okay but seeing both Nya and Pixal in samurai costumes is so good, look at them looking awesome 🀩🀩
EEEE WE GOT VISITORS
LOL Wuser is still pretty good
FIGHTING SCENES FIGHTING SCENES FIGHTING SCENES LOOK AT THEN GO
The latest seasons lost a bit in some stuff but they gain so much through the fighting sequences, I have to admit they are probably better than the earlier season. So fluid and good πŸ₯°πŸ₯°
SKYLOR SKYLOR SKYLOR
COME ON WU SHOW US ONCE AND FOR ALL WHY YOU'RE THE MASTER
Please I lost faith in you lately please restore it aaaaand you're going down. Great. I'm not saying you had them but... dang it
SHMOL PIXAL BOTS
I REPEAT
SHMOL PIXAL BOTS
MINIPIX MINIPIX MINIPIX πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
"You didn't think I build everything on my own." "Actually, until now... yes." This is so fair, Pixal is so great it made perfect sense. She became such a pillar for the team we can't do without 😍
Preventing never works on Ninjago, it never worked once
WHY THE STUPID SPIDER THINGIES
NO
NO ABSOLUTELY NOT YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT A GIRL THAT WAS A PRINCESS CAN MAKE BETTER ROBOTS THAN THE ROBOT DAUGHTER OF THE GUY THAT MADE ALL TECHNOLOGY IN NINJAGO
THIS IS MAKES NO SENSE AAAAAAAA-
Pff, okay, the fact the the Nunchaku of Lightning don't work without lighting made me laugh πŸ˜‚
MiniPix to the rescue!
Okay how did a robot not identify a corpse? She got sensors and stuff!
... I feel like we're playing too much on the "oh no they're dead!" troupe over here. Like, idk, it feels silly after the majestic angst of Seabound to throw it in just because
YEP THERE SHE IS
Rescue mission for the ninja? NYA MISSION AS SAMURAI X AGAIN 😍
I got complains on this one but honestly it's not even that bad. A bit lazy in my opinion, but I enjoyed the fight and wanna see Samurai X back 🀩
DARKNESS WITHIN
I'm guessing this is about either Lloyd or the Overlord...
Okay you literally trapped him in three different ways so far, are you into this stuff or you like seeing him get free every time Harumi? YOU CONFUSE ME πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
I miss the dragons guarding the weapons, they wouldn't have let that happen 😒
Sure sure, I believe you Harumi over how Lloyd's friends are dead, because somehow you're so convinced you killed all these people with a plan you worked on in, what, couple of years? You didn't make it with the plan of a revenge starting since you were little, how is this better?
I gotta stop complaining about Harumi's motivations, I love her as a villain but her comeback is so weird for me honestly
YOU DID THIS SPEECH BEFORE DANG IT THIS IS SOG ALL OVER AGAIN 😑😑
STOP USING THE SAME STUFF 😑
Ah, back at my boys thank goodness
This is giving me claustrophobia and I don't even have it πŸ˜…
JAY MOMENT
Okay that little oh no we're gonna die moment kinda got to me a little more (I love my boys so much), but again I feel like they're overusing it
NYA I LOVE YOU 🩢🩢🩢
Is the new old base the old samurai x cave? Should still be there right?
CALLED IT!!! CALLED IT!!!
I DO LOVE A GOOD THROW BACK!!!
PIXAAAAAANE!!! πŸ’œπŸ€πŸ’œπŸ€
KAILOOOOOOR!!! ❀️🧑❀️🧑 Still don't know if they're gonna have a moment? Seems pretty scarse so far...
MINIPIX7 πŸ’•πŸ’•
Again with Harumi's delusions. Also she should really stop summoning stuff πŸ˜…
Okay, gotta admit, seeing the Overlord once again does give me the shivers 🀩 I wish we had more focus on that, but maybe from now on we'll see more stuff!
THE OVERLORD IS BACK AFTER MORE THAN TEN SEASONS BABY
THE COMING OF THE KING
Is the king the Overlord? I'm guessing?
I don't believe it either Lloyd, it's been so flipping long since this guy was here πŸ˜‚
How is defeating him every time failing? Does the victory count only when he's completely dead? Idk, also they didn't really explain how he returned
NEED MORE FOCUS PEOPLE THIS IS THE OVERLORD DANG IT
I don't think I like this form though πŸ˜… The Overlord is notorious for not having a face or a mouth, this kinda ruins my image of him. The Golden Master was superior, even the very first one was better, menacing
Cute purple outfits πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Lloyd really was raised by the sassy ninja
Harumi got no golden weapon? Bummer 😈
... why is this rock fortress reminding me of something? Is it Chima? I can't place it, but it is pretty cool
Why are people asking Lloyd to change side? Like, do they think he's gonna change his mind if asked enough times?
SECRET CHOICE NUMBER THREE
HOW WAS IT THAT EASY???? SERIOUSLY OVERLORD PUT SOME EFFORT
Eeehhhyyyy The Quiet One is back!
I really don't understand Harumi, I don't want to inderstand her. Is this her redemption arc? I just don't... see what changed, exactly
At least Skylor took her time to redemption and you could understand being connected to a father that was a criminal, Harumi is showing stuff in, like, three episodes. Which is one and a half old episode length
Still don't see the new Overlord as menacing. Mmmmm 😠
"Last time I checked, ninja can't fly!" You did not check very well, they flew until perfectly well until season 8 πŸ˜‚
... wait wasn't this place filled with vengestone? How is energy working now?
WHATEVER LLOYD IS FINALLY SHOWING WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF AND I'M HAPPY GO HONEY SHOW THEM THE FLIPPING GREEN NINJA!!! πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š
Why using the shuriken when you got an actual gun πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
OMG WAS THAT A CALLBACK FROM THE FLIPPING PILOTS?? How you shouldn't make the golden weapons collide as they generate an explosion? If it's true then THANK YOU I LOVE IT FINALLY 🀩🀩
Eeeehhhhh Harumi knows πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ
Huh, I guess she really does want to reason with him... STILL WEIRD
He actually survived several times falling from way higher... but silly me remembering times the ninja were stronger πŸ˜“
What. That's it?
I WANTED A DRAGON OR A POWER DANG IT YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE AT LEAST TRY TO SOFTEN THE FALL WITH SOMETHING
That was so anticlimatic...
LOL this season is all about doing all the crime possible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I do love that they kept this "if one of us is in danger we're ready for anything" mentality of them. Still a family.
Despite my complains I can still see why I fell in love with this show πŸ’œ
RETURN TO PRIMEVAL'S EYE
Memories of an amazing season, I think Songs of Garmadon shock the heck out of all of us. What a season 😍
I'm starting to realizing this is the last season 😭 I know there is that Dragon Rising thing, and yes everything with dragons in it makes it awesome, but it feels like another era is ending like whem March of the Oni came out
LOL I haven't watched Ninjago in a while yet I still get emotional, it really is one of the shows I'm closest to πŸ’•πŸ’•
CRIME TIME
They're not working at Borg Tower anymore I'm dying πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ That place gives major PTSD to whoever goes there
Eeeyyyy golden ninja suits!
LOL whenever they try to do actual ninja work they always get discovered, it's kind of beautiful in a way πŸ˜—
Awwww Wu finally decided to say freak the law I'm a martial art master!!!
It's like old times! One master, four ninja and a samurai!! Awesome!!!
Harumi being all flirty is kinda really weird, I really can't trust her YEP THERE IT IS DANG IT LLOYD FOCUS
Ah, the old quicksand gag
Pfff okay Lloyd being very done with her feels very very good πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Lloyd will loose cause he's gullible, but Harumi will loose because she's arrogant. I kinda wanna see her surprised to see the ninja since she seemed so convinced they were dead πŸ˜‚
Lloyd should really drop that girl off
WHERE ARE THE NINJA PLEASE
YES YES YES!!! SUCK IT HARUMI!!! YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! YOU CAN'T KILL ANYONE IN A WAY THAT MATTERS!!! SEATHE WITH ANGER!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
(Ahem. Sorry)
These minions really are not the smartest of the bunch. And they were main villains in the last seasons πŸ˜…
Why are you smiling Harumi, half of your plan didn't even work πŸ˜‚ It's sad really, she feels like a spoiled brat to me now... AND LLOYD STOP TRYING TO SAVE HER DANG IT SHE'S GONE
I DON'T WANT HER REDEMPTION I WANT HER BACK INTO THE DEPARTED REALM
... wait, if she is redeemed, will the Overlord bring her back into the Departed Realm since he brought her to life?
... BE REDEEMED HARUMI πŸ˜ƒ
CRYSTASTROPHE
Okay, I got a visual, I'm guessing full on Ninjago filled with crystals, if not only the army of the Overlord
For what purpose though?
Aaahhh, Harumi is in troubleeeee 😏
Finally the actual Ovelord doing some stuff! Step back Harumi, let the boss handle this! I WANT THE OVERLORD TO SHOW HIS WORTH AS A VILLAIN!!!
The Overlord really likes having his own army, he always got one
THEY SAID THE THING! NINJA-GOOOO!!
OH GOSH CRYSTAL ZOMBIE WHY DO THIS ACTUALLY LOOK KINDA SCARY?!? 😱 Also the Overlord is back with the corruption thing, he really likes doing that as well! Such consistency! πŸ‘Œ
To his credit it almost worked the first time, why changing what works?
Heeey Gale Gossip!
... IS GARMADON LIVING WITH VINNIE?!?
Omg the shippers must had gone wild πŸ˜‚πŸ’•
Yes! Please Nya ask about how the Overlord came back! I wanna know!
...
... Wu
Wu why
Why?!
WHY?!?
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD US A LONG TIME AGO 😭😭😭 ... it is such a meme in Ninjago so I'll say it, I'm kinda happy it's here πŸ˜‚
SERIOUSLY WU WHAT IN THE WORLD STOP HIDING STUFF!!!
Yeeeee Antonia and Nelson!!
Andreasen Avenue? 😏 I see you Tommy, thank you for staying until now in Ninjago! Despite my complains this is a good season, and I'm hopeful for a huge finale! Thanks for your work! 😊😊😊
Whoa, Jay using the hammer? BLASPHEMY I SAY πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
So let's pretend I don't know Garmadon lives here with Vinnie πŸ˜‚
BACK TO GARMY AND SON BABY
Gotta be honest this really excites me, I think we all wanted them to have a reunion. I definitely want a Garmy redemption!
More than Harumi's coff coff
MOVING ON
CHRISTOFERN
... what?
Okay I got no idea, is it a name?
... a plant? What?
Vinny just vacuumed, omg is this seriously a marriage situation?
Heeeey! Garmy tale!
Dude you saved people before, you just don't remember about those times! You were the best dad despite being an evil guy! You were a sensei! 😭😭😭
Pfff Vinnie of NGTV News the wise guy, why not πŸ˜‚
LOL double hands shake debacle
Garmadon trying to be good, this is not what I was expecting when I thought of Garmadon returning πŸ˜… It's kind of fun, but did he ever remember his son or wife though? He's still just an oni?
Aaahhh the plant's name is Christofern! Is this a new child for him?
Ah. Right. Forgot Harumi was kind of Emperor Garmadon's daughter... PLEASE LET LLOYD HAVE SOME PEACE
Another reason why Harumi doesn't deserve redemption, SHE is the reason Garmadon came back and his bond with Lloyd was shuttered! 😭😭😭
SHE. DOESN'T. DESERVE. REDEMPTION.
NOO CHRISTOFERN!!! Such a short life πŸ˜…
HEEEEY GARMADON IS BACK EVERYONE LOOK AT HIM GO!!!
Ha, they fixed his oni side, you look a bit better this way than from March of the Oni I must say πŸ˜…
Ooohhh Lloyd going through the oni route? Again WHY NOT WU???
A LESSON IN ANGER
I don't want Lloyd to become a weird oni as well 😭😭 Can't he be a dragon instead? I think I saw there's gonna be a dragon form too, PLEASE THAT ONE IS BETTER!
NOPE DON'T LIKE THAT IMAGE
STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEART
Meanwhile more fighting happening that the ninja can't win... SCARED
Is this the new name? Sam X cave? Lol
We're going through the story of the creation of Ninjago again? This is kinda cool
WU YOU'RE ALSO PART ONI STOP WHY DON'T YOU DO IT INSTEAD OF DROPPING EVERYTHING ON YOUR NEPHEW AS USUAL DANG IT 😑😑😑
Sensei Garmadon kinda back?
LOL spinning is an important part? Somehow for this show it makes sense
So we are talking Dragon Form already! Why forgetting all he was taught if that might help him get to the dragon?
DRAGON BETTER THAN ONI πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ
Oh, Misako is still there? She's not being useless somewhere? Huh
Hey, mayor... forgot about him honestly
Heeeyyy the new ninja! The jerks! Getting their butts kicked, it's almost like they never fought actual evil before!
... that also felt very good πŸ˜‚
Garmadon you're making me hate you and I don't want that 😭 You used to be such a patient and wonderful teacher dang it, now you only know hate and it kills me a bit honestly 😒😒😒
HEY PIXAL BEST GIRL SAVING THE DAY YET AGAIN!!!
Yeeee this will come back huh 😡
Still feels the oni form is a bad idea in general but eh... wait what about the dragon one? Did we forget?
WU YOU HAVE TO TELL US IF YOU THINK WE WILL LOSE AAAAAAAA-
BRAVE BUT FOOLISH
I DO NOT LIKE THIS PREMISES
Yeeee Kai said FIYAAAA πŸ”₯
Ronin on our side again? I flipping love how he's costantly the bad guy then good guy then bad guy then whatever πŸ˜…
Heeeyyy the golden armor is back!
DANG IT GARMADON RIGHT IN THE FEELS πŸ₯Ί I see Christofern is a metaphor of some sort? Garmadon is learning how to take care of someone so one days it will... forgive him?
STILL HOPE FOR THE GARMADONS TO BE A FAMILY AGAIN YES!!!
Nya is basically saying that Lloyd is a very sturdy boy, I flipping love how much of a big sister she is to Lloyd πŸ’•
Aww Nya misses the water πŸ’§
Okay I said it already but I truly cannot take that weird new form of the Overlord seriously. It's just not doing it for me. Not bad, just not right
... wait is Christofern a metaphor for Harumi too? BETTER NOT BE
LLOYD STOP TRYING TO BRING HER ON OUR SIDE I DO NOT WANT HER
Zane
ZANE NO
STOP TRYING TO DIE DANG IT YOU WERE DOING SO WELL YOU SELF SACRIFICAL DUMB NINDROID 😱😱😱
Look at Wu go!!!
LOOK AT WU FALL!!!

What? No, Ninja never quit! You never quit that's the first rule! Don't you dare!
Are those Nelson and Antonia?
Is this a Wu episode?
Looool last time was Kai, this time is Wu, too many people drowning lately. Probably Seabound's fault
Dang Tonia and Nels saving heroes left and right! Awesome!
NO NO NOT NYA 😱😱

Not the cop again! Are you flipping serious right now? The commitment is wow but the needs to understand the situation...
CRYSTAL SERPENTINES!!!
Ah. Misako. Hi I guess πŸ˜…
A prophecy again? These prophecies are so flipping weird I swear
PIX BEST GIRL πŸ’œ

RONIN WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SWITCHING SIDES ISTG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR SOME REASON YOU NEUTRAL LOVABLE JERK πŸ₯°

SAVE HAVEN
This sounds weirdly comforting
KAI BABY DON'T DIE ON ME EVEN IF THE SHOW FORGOT ABOUT YOU I DIDN'T YOU'RE STILL MY FAVE!!! ❀️❀️❀️
LOL I bet these scenes made the lava shippers very happy πŸ–€β€οΈπŸ–€β€οΈ
SKYLOR BEST GIRL!!!
"Hiya Hot Shot." DUDE THE WINK. KAI IS SUCH A LUCKY MAN
STILL LOVE KAILOR ❀️🧑❀️🧑
Pythor really likes to be the henchman of the obligatory villain huh
Kai with a plan, huh, dangerous...
Aww I remember Jake! He helped Kai with his confidence before! I like the little one, Kai fan, relatable πŸ‘Š
Serpentine library! Cool! I miss Skales, I haven't seen him in forever!
Oh, we're talking fears huh. Back to season 11 we saw Nya's fear of being normal (she lost her water powers), Zane's fear to be only a machine (the cold ice emperor) and Lloyd being like Garmadon. Which is understandable especially in light of remembering a father that wasn't completely taken by the dark side
Knew Garmy was gonna bring up Christofern after being questioned if he cared for someone, but since it seems to be a metaphor for Lloyd... I wonder... πŸ₯Ί
HUGS! HUGS FOR EVERYONE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY! πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
This was actually kinda beautiful, maybe my favourite one so far
COMPATIBLE
OH YOU JUST KNOW THERE IS SOME DEEP PIXANE COMING UP!!!
YEP YEP YEP πŸ’œπŸ€πŸ’œπŸ€
I feel like the titles aren't very focused on the specific episodes, more like random moments that do happen in between. I don't hate the thing, but it does make me imagine the episode going a certain way when it is not. Eh
KAI AND SKYLOR MAKING NOODLES TOGETHER LOOK AT THEM ❀️🧑❀️🧑
Okay, she did indeed grow between noodles... but she also owned the noodle plane. Feels like they could've straight up told that, but I'm probably being too critical
KAI YOU IDIOT HOW IS THAT A GOOD CONFESSION??πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
It's a bit weird to me, Kai flirts with people but he was also super awkward with Skylor, which I'm not seeing. He would still make a fool of himself, OBVIOUSLY, but without trying to be smooth πŸ˜‚
LOL Skylor is totally right at being mad, although it also feels like this being us fans that didn't see her in ages
But yes Kai did go through some stuff... ouch flame, you think you're smooth but you're the hugest mess to ever exist on Ninjago aren't you?
I like this, they should definitely have a talk when things get a bit less frantic, she wants him to call her and have time to spend together and Kai definitely needs some time without stress and to dedicate some time to this amazing girl!
Felt pretty real! Thumbs up!
COME ON NYA GO FOR IT!!!! 🩢🩢🩢
YES BRING PRINCESS VANIA OVER HERE BEST GIRLS REUNION EVERYONE!! πŸ’›
Vinnie the wise guy saving the day!
RACER SEVEN IS BACK!!
I mean
BLAZEY H. SPEED IS BACK!!
I mean
BLAZEY HYPER SPEED IS BACK!!
Definitely best girls reunion. Included MechaDove (honorary member)
DANG IT ZANE STOP ALMOST DYING EVERY TIME! Wait no a coma WAIT A COMA NO ZANEEEEE 😱😱😱
Pixal don't make me cry 😒
SHE MENTIONED REBOOTED NOW I'M DEFINITELY CRYING 😭😭
WTF THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL
And Zane Julien escapes death once again!
(Again overusing the death thing but this one was pretty enough, I approve)
BEAUTIFUL LOOK AT ALL THE SHIPS!!!
IT'S ACTUALLY GETTING BETTER TOWARDS THE END I HAVE HOPE FOR A GREAT FINALE EVERYONE! 😊
DISTRESS CALLS
Getting to Benthomaar?
I'm with Lloyd honestly, you can't face something like this without allies
... I feel like we're just throwing Mystake's memory out of the window and pretend we didn't meet at least one oni capable to care at least a bit... I REMEMBER HER OKAY I DO SHE WAS COOL 😭😭😭
LOL it's only fair Kai and Skylor don't get together right away, looking and Pixane and Jaya that took years to get where they are it would be unfair πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
I think Kelly's voice got much softer than before, it's so soothing πŸ₯°
GO BLAZEY GO!!!
YES GARMY GETS AT LEAST A SINGLE EXTREMELY PRECIOUS COMPLASSION POINT AND LLOYD APPROVES!
I BELIEVE IN YOU GARMADON!
Flipping love Blazey
Aww Lloyd and Garmy talking a bit, this is the most progress I've seen since MotO
AWW LOOK AT KAI TEACHING! ❀️
So the allies will all come despite what it looks like, okay? Okay πŸ˜‚
LLOYD AND GARMADON ARE FINALLY GETTING SOMEWHERE OH PLEASE END THE SEASON ON A GOOD NOTE
I'm guessing they're trying to make it like the bond they have in the Lego Ninjago Movie, which isn't bad, but I miss how absurdly sweet it was their bond before. AAAAHHHH I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί
AN ISSUE OF TRUST
Whoops, now what?
Destroyed Ninjago... again... seriously it's not the worst I've seen so far
Awwww look at Pixal and Kai hugging! Their bond is so underrated, I've loved it since the chasing scene in Rebooted! Too bad that's all we're getting, but this is nice πŸ’œβ€οΈπŸ’œβ€οΈ
HUGS HUGS I LOVE HOW MUCH AFFECTION THERE IS WITH THEM
It's not really that weird that Ronin is on our side, sometimes he just feels like joining the heroes, for the thrill 😎
YOU
YOU DID NOT
YOU DID NOT JUST TELL ME THAT THE FLIPPING WEEKENDING WHIP IS THE KEY TO ACHIEVE THE FLIPPING DRAGON FORM ALRIGHT THAT DOES IT I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣
It's so stupid I love it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Of course it's not that easy, but I will cherish this moment forever lol
Okay we got three episodes, no way we got the Harumi redemption, right? It would make no sense with this little time
...
YOU
YOU FOLD IT
YOU FLIPPING FOLD IT
THE FOLD
I HATE THIS SHOW I LOVE THIS SHOW I HATE THIS SHOW I LOVE THIS SHOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Aww everyone wanted to come with Lloyd love this family love this family
AWW PIXAL AND LLOYD'S BOND IS ALSO SO OVERRATED I MEAN LOOK AT THEM BEING CLOSE!!! They were a delight at the beginning of SoG, that hug was everything πŸ’šπŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’œ
Garmy you can't expect then to trust you like it's nothing...
Interesting seeing Harumi's old team of mercenaries against her
JAY MOMENT JAY MOMENT
"Thanks for nothing, Jay." That honestly applies to so much of Ninjago, I love you so much Jay πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Okay I changed my mind, Garmadon's oni mouth is still weird πŸ˜…
Better? Yes. Weird still? Absolutely.
ALMOST AT THE END GETTING HYPE!!!
DRAGON FORM
SECOND TO LAST EPISODE AND WE GOT THE DRAGON FORM EVERYONE!!!
I got hopes, Prime Empire and Seabound ended with bangs even with only two episodes left πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š
Finally Overlord do some stuff!
Seriously Lloyd? Still trying to turn her? If she really turns now I'll be upset honestly
IT'S A GARMADONS FIGHT EVERYONE!!
Soooo... allies when?
YES YES YES I KNEW PEOPLE WERE GONNA COME SOON!!!
BENTHOMAAR BEST BOY IS HERE!
SKALES IS BAAAAAAAAACK!!!
PEOPLE FROM PRIME EMPIRE!!!
MAYA AND RAY!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOK AT THEM GO DRAGON LIKE NINJAAAAA
THESE LOOK SO COOL!!! 🀩🀩🀩🀩🀩
Eeehhh Dareth billboard! He did not appear in the fight... poor brown ninja
SHURIKEN OF ICE ARE BACK!
Lloyd called him father 😒😒😒
Wait what. WAIT WHAT. THE FLIPPING OVERLORD WAS BEHIND ALL THAT STUFF?! ALL THOSE LITTLE PLOTS?!? YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT EXPLAIN IT PLEASE!
This feels like a bit of escape for Harumi's redemption arc
Yep, there it is
She is now, on the good side
Hurraaaaay...
*huge sigh*
EXCUSE YOU YOU DID NOT JUST CALL THE WATER GODDESS A GIRL IN A COSTUME 😑😑😑😑
OMG ED EDNA AND LOU ARE THERE AS WELL AMAZING!!!
YES THE DUNGEON TRIO!!!
LOOK AT ALL THE GOLDEN WEAPONS BACK I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONAL AT SEEING THEM ALL BACK AGAIN LIKE THIS!!!
This is a tribute to the new era of Ninjago, so it makes sense they focus on all the people that came through it
It's really nice
COLE VANIA HUG (I don't know if I ship them but best friend πŸ–€πŸ’›πŸ–€πŸ’›
KAILOR AND PIXANE HUG!!!! πŸ’œπŸ€πŸ’œπŸ€β€οΈπŸ§‘β€οΈπŸ§‘
So... the side fight is won? Weird that it's over before the main one
Corrupting the powers? We're getting some angst coming up soon? We'll see how it goes because IT'S THE END!!!
ROOTH
LET'S GO FINALE LET'S GO!! I WASN'T CONVINCED AT THE VERY BEGINNING BUT NOW I'M OPTIMISTIC AND I WANNA BE WOWED CRYSTALIZED!!! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ
Aww Garmadon really is trying his best to protect his son
OH NOT AGAIN DANG IT GARMY
He can't be dead like that, right?
OOOOOHHHHHH THERE'S THE ONI LLOYD FORM AND IT IS GOLDEN TOO!! LET HIM HAVE IT HONEY!!
Oh honey is still scared πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί
So we're destroying the golden weapons? Shame on you, after Kai put them together so nicely!
Idk this feels a bit easy, the Golden Weapons were supposed to be destroyed in a specific volcano to make the super weapon. And since when they explode when together? They make a boom, never exploded from what I remember
But I'm not 100% sure on this one honestly, so I'll just say that I'll miss these weapons... since we're losing them... AGAIN
CALM DOWN ME I'M BEING TOO CRITICAL AGAIN
ZANE MAKING ME CRY AGAIN 🀍
NOT FRIENDS BUT BROTHERS too bad they didn't say that but it was really nice of them to do this 😭😭😭
NINJA CRYSTAL ZOMBIES
THE MULTI DRAGON IS BACK?!?!?? Wait no is it a different dragon? This makes me a bit confused but DRAGOOOON!!! 😍😍😍
IT'S END OF SEASON 2 ALL OVER AGAIN!
So is Lloyd not getting a dragon form?
... is that it?
It felt... a bit easy
YEP GARMADON IS ALIVE KNEW IT seriously, again, too many almost dead situation here I don't believe it anymore
And the oni form was not the right way. And Garmy is being bad again
Is this really how their bond is gonna end?
Anyway VICTORYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
HUUUUUUUUG πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
GLARES TO HARUMI ALL THE GLARES SHE DESERVES ALL THE FLIPPING GLARES IN THE WORLD
STOP DEFENDING HER DANG IT I GUESS THIS IS HOW IT ENDS I HATE IT
WAIT THEY LOST THEIR POWERS?!?!?
The dragon is... their powers? And no mention to their beloved multi dragon? Not even a little bit? Like, they made it look exactly like it, it's a bit sad
Oh, they'll return later? Again?... okay?
Yeeeep Ninjago always need to be rebuild at the very end πŸ˜‚
I see Garmadon has a long way to go still, but it looks like he really wants to learn how to be better so there's that
DARETH YES HI!!! 🀎🀎🀎
I love you brown ninja!
Song time? Huh, song time!
Kai still being an idiot but Skylor likes him for how he is, I'm sure they can figure it out eventually 🧑❀️🧑❀️
Or Kai and Cole have a chance still lol
Was that a policeman? HARUMI IN PRISON OH YES PLEACE I'M BEGGING YOU LET HER FACE SOME CONSEQUENCES SHE CAN'T FEEL ENTITLED FOR WHAT SHE DID AND FORGIVEN ONLY BECAUSE SHE HATED THE WRONG GUY AAAAAAA-
Yeah. Their bond will be build slowly, I believe Garmadon and Lloyd will be fine
This ending feels... way more emotional than it should be πŸ˜‚ The ending was okay, it's good, but I feel like there was some stuff left behind just because
The song is beautiful though 😊
Idk, I had fun, but I also had problems with this season. Also... are the ninja not gonna talk about the crimes they committed anymore? All good? Or how Harumi ruined an entire family and apparently it was the wrong thing to do and did not apologize
I don't think I'll ever be okay with this redemption arc of her, but that's okay too. Still a villain for me 😈
I guess there's that though, the end of the second era of Ninjago 😊
Still feels Masters of Spinjitzu was superior, but there is greatness in this one as well and there are moments I truly loved
Wow, what a rush! I'm glad I got back to it! I think this is it for a while, although I might look into Dragon Rising eventually! For now, thank you Ninjago, for being such a precious show to me πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Justin is so civilized, he picked up Crumbl cookies last night and didn’t devour half the box on the way home like I do. He didn’t even sneak one bite. When we became parents, he never opened up snacks in the grocery store before paying or let kids eat in the car. Now he knows the magic of the grocery store bribe and the joy of silence car snacks bring, he’s come so far. He still washes all the dishes before eating meals though, I wonder if it’s the only child left in him. I feel like the bigger the family, the more chaos/more relaxed rules.
The twins’ half birthday was Monday. I still go by their adjusted age though and it drives people crazy. It’s more so for George because the older the kid is, the higher the expectations people place on them. I feel like Genna has become the typical β€˜neglected’ middle child. I mean on Tumblr of course because anyone who knows me irl knows she gets all the attention she demands haha. She has a flair for drama and is still the smartest little nugget I’ve ever met. George has started singing and counting. He is starting to say more words and phrases now but still isn’t building onto what he knows. I know it will come in time and that gestalt processing still results in meaningful speech/communication.
Alyssa loves creating song lyrics and she made one up the other day about going out on a Saturday night...where does this stuff come from?! I haven’t been out on a Saturday night in...longer than I can remember. The lyrics: β€œLet’s get ready it’s Saturday night, let’s get ready it’s Saturday night, let’s get ready it’s Saturday night/ let’s get pretty it’s Saturday night, let’s wear glitter it’s Saturday night, let’s wear a pretty dress it’s SATURDAY NIGHT. Let’s go climb a treeee it’s Saturday night!”
A long time ago I posted my Instagram username and got a bunch of follows and meant to message people to see which person went to which Tumblr account but life happened. Now it’s been so long I’m too embarrassed to ask β€œwho are you??” So if you follow me there and I don’t follow you back that’s why. Just message me and let me know who you are πŸ™ƒ
Justin booked our hotel for MA. We’ll be staying in Burlington which I think is south of most places we’re looking at. Our MA realtor called today and wanted to talk details and it made me nervous. Not bad nervous, just β€˜this is real’ excited/nervous. I am so excited to stay in a hotel without children. I feel guilty about it but I am definitely not taking our mini trip for granted. We will eat at restaurants with no children. We will drive in a car and actually be able to have conversations. No one will scream at stop lights. Btw, if I ever sound like I’m complaining about my children who I love more than life itself, I just want to make it clear that my autistic child (or is it child with autism, I’ve read conflicting things) is not the source of my overwhelm. I relate a lot to George’s need for strict routine and constant desire for music and snacks. We have a lot in common.
Coincidentally my friend who is also moving ended up on the same exact timeline as us and now we need the same realtor the same weekend. I think she’s going to try to come a day before or after us. Someone gave me another realtor rec on here too, thanks! She decided to move to a town in NH that’s close to the border. And I’m so (so) excited to have another person I’ll know up there.

For me, my depression manifests as β€œplease don’t worry about me” & throwing my energy at helping other people. I am the therapist friend, the parent/dad or (genderless) mom friend, the trauma dumping ground, the person you can scream at all day long who will still try to talk you down from suicide. I am not the stereotypical, β€˜πŸ˜­πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜“πŸ˜žπŸ˜”πŸ˜ŸπŸ˜•πŸ™β˜ΉοΈπŸ˜£β€™ visibly not okay manifestation of depression (though those people are valid & I respect them). I am the β€˜πŸ™ƒπŸ˜˜πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ™‚β˜ΊπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‡πŸ€­πŸ˜ŒπŸ˜‰πŸ˜‹πŸ€ͺ😎πŸ₯ΊπŸ€β€™ silent, invisible, I Know How It Feels To Feel Like Nothing And Don’t Want You To Feel That Wayβ„’, Please Talk To Me, I’m Hereβ„’, slipping under the radar until the moment someone catches me attempting manifestation of depression. I heavily identified with Robin Williams growing up, & I still do. I go undetected.
I go undetected. Because people expect you to self isolate, to cry out for help (especially to friends & family), to cry 😭, to be obvious. But I’ve been depressed for ~17 years (since we were 5), & I am not obvious.
Please please please, check on your happy friends. Your therapist friends. Your parent friends. The friends who seem put together & high achieving and β€œfunctional”. They may not have it all together as well as they seem to. Maybe no one ever listens to them, or people listen only to hurt them &/or leave. Maybe they throw themselves out there to help & protect everyone else because no one ever helped or protected them. Maybe they’re the ones who need help the most...but are used to never asking & going silent. Maybe they need someone - maybe they need you.

~25/1/2021~ Life has been a ball of overwhelm today 😒 Had a strange and rough night's sleep. Then clinical supervision for the trainee role first thing which I have to attend even though obviously the lack of placement issue hangs over me, and somehow course team don't consider how this might be emotionally difficult in some way πŸ™ƒ Have to say it was one of the weirdest clinical supervision sessions I'd experienced - quite relieved I didn't have anything to bring to it... Then another stress got thrown into the mix - my landlords (neighbours) sent a message complaining that Hope the bunny has been making too much noise in the night (she thumps if she senses a potential predator nearby) 🐰😰 I'd been really conscious of it in the past, but they'd never said it bothered them before - I must be sleeping through it, which is unusual as I'm a really light sleeper! They asked if I could move the rabbit shed to the otherside of the garden - no easy task and don't think it'd make much difference - it'd only be a distance of about 3 ft! I talked to parentals about it and my Pom is going to come up tomorrow and attempt to install some padding to cushion her kicks. As usual though my brain was a catastrophising mess worrying I'm going to be evicted, that I'll have to get rid of Hope etc - I'll probably be up all night worrying that she might start thumping now πŸ™ˆ That combined with all the uncertainty around the placement issue meant I struggled to focus on my normal work day (peer support) - I've been feeling as though I just want to walk away from uni as it's not worth the impact on my health and is affecting my other job, which I actually love. But know rationally it's worth hanging on in there because something might come up placement wise (with so many people helping me) and then it might all be fine 😰 Had a meeting about a project I've been involved in - my skype was playing up so I had trouble getting in, which added to my stress. Was very much in meltdown mode yet again, but managed to formulate a to do list and start to work my way through it to some extent. Went out for a walk to try to clear my head - when I sat on a bench in the park (continued...) (at Sussex Christmas Trees) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZKzl0BqzJQMmTCyQTwnINh5PNuJ195xiEw5Ag0/?utm_medium=tumblr
