All of my Ninjago AUs because I am insane & autistic + it's fun

(disclaimer, a vast majority of these focus on cole brookstone because favouritism bias)

My Nonexistant Friend - Ghost!Cole AU where Day of the Departed...did not end so well. He's trapped in the Airjitzu Temple and is effectivly erased from existance. He suffers in nonexistant puragtory for 300 years until Lloyd's future students move in and the Master of Earth of this new era befriends the ghost. Fluff, feels & the power of friendship ensue

Perma Ghost - Ninjago but Cole remains a ghost. To prevent him from fading he anchors himself to friendship bracelets all the ninja + Wu & Pixal wear. He can't stray to far from anyone wearing a friendship bracelet but he doesn't mind he's always with a friend.

Curseworlds - Possession bad end, heavily inspired by The Star from Fionna & Cake. The Preeminent has won and has cursed all the realms and ghosts torment the remaining living souls. A small faction of survivors is fighting to take out the Queen of the Cursed, but it's very difficult with her two princes causing havoc. Anyone order evil Sandstorm?

Reverse - An alt Ninjago where Wu was bit by the Great Devourer instead of Garmadon. Wu becomes an evil dictator, Ninjago is in a lawless era, the og ninja are all traumatised child soldiers made to do Wu's bidding, Garmadon and a few familiar faces are fighting back.

Genderswap - As it says, everyone is genderswapped. But it's like Fionna & Cake where some stuff is different because of the swapped genders.

Elemental Anacondrai - Chen decides to be extra twisted and mark all the loosers of the Tournament with the Anacondrai Mark as a sign of ownership. When the cult is transformed into Anacondrai, they too. So for the last two episodes of ToE, Skylor, Karlof, Gravis, Bolobo, Ash, Cole, Jacob, Chamile & Tox are turned into Anacondrai.

Constrictai!Cole - Cole isn't dehypnotised at the end of Home and is taken prisoner by the Hypnobrai. When the Fangpyre are free and team up with the Hypnobrai, Skales has them turn Cole into a Serpentine. He ends up a Constrictai. The ninja end up rescueing him durring Can of Worms, remove the hypnotism with some anti-venom tea, and now Cole must adjust to his new reptilian body. Lots of Glacier

Lost But Never Found - AU where Cole ends up in the Land of Lost things after running away from his school. He becomes a Finder and is living his best life with his new found family. Sora also ends up there after running away and Cole adopts her

Vampire!Cole - Cole ends up becoming a vampire after getting attacked by one. Lots of hyjinks & vampire hunting (hunting other vampires, not Cole)

Wu Adopts Cole - Wu finds Cole a lot earlier then canon, at 10 years old. He's an orphan, his mum passed from illness and his dad drank himself to death. Wu raises Cole, trains him in his Elemental Power, very wholesome Dad Wu stuff.

Amphibijago - Ninjago + Amphibia crossover. Cole, Kai and Jay take the places of the Calamity Girls and end up in Amphibia. Cole ends up with the frogs, Kai ends up with the toads, Jay ends up with the newts. What could go wrong

The Oni House - Ninjago + The Owl House, basically the Owl House but with Ninjago characters. Cole is a troubled teen about to be sent off to a performing arts boarding school when he ends up in a realm of witches, demons and magic after wandering through a portal. There he meets Lord Garmadon, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles and his baby dragon demon Rocky. Lava time

Ninja in Eorzea - Ninjago + FFXIV. The ninja play the criticly acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV with an extended free trail with unlimited playtime that allows them to play the award winning expansions Heavensward and Stormblood, and they get suckef in...litterally like Prime Empire.

Miraculous: Tales of Firefly & Charcole Cat - Ninjago + Miraculous. Ninjago City is being ravaged by supervillains created by someone known as the Dark Lord. But new heros have arisen, known as Firefly & Charcole Cat, ready to protect the city from the Dark Lord while trying to balance school & dating. HONEYCOMB MY OTP

Age of Elements - My original Ninjago story set 300 years after canon. Lloyd is training 7 new ninja, the Elemental Masters of Fire, Earth, Wind, Nature, Water, Lightning and Ice to protect the world because a prophetic vision of the furure said so. He's trying his best to make sure they aren't super traumatised by having them keep their ninja identity a secret, not keeping secrets about the FSM family lore, having them go to school, but trauma as a Ninja is a canon event. Got 18 seasons planned and counting

rewatched the Tournament of Elements and had the thought of what if Kai got a Mark of Anacondrai to ‘prove’ his loyalty to Chen?

[sepublic]

Before S4 aired and all we had to go off of were the sets, I ended up having this theory that the cultists we saw were being possessed by the spirits of the Anacondrai through their remains. It was my explanation for why these humans were sometimes referred to as Anacondrai in set descriptions, as well as Kapau and Chope apparently becoming actual Serpentine named Kapau'rai and Chop'rai, respectively.

With the prominent bone motif and Pythor's presence in one of the sets, I speculated that Pythor went back to the Anacondrai Tomb and gathered the remains of his tribe, who were haunting their corpses and could possess anyone who wore their bones (In this case, humans that Pythor kidnapped).

The Anacondrai Blades would've been carved from the spines of dead Anacondrai, and a lot of the bones used in the vehicles could've been Anacondrai; Either they were leftover bits, or you had Anacondrai ghosts possessing machines. Some Anacondrai used multiple bones to possess a human, others used only one, possibly due to incomplete remains. Pythor's plan was to resurrect his tribe fully, possibly by fusing the living human hosts with the Anacondrai bones to create new Anacondrai bodies (although the presence of human DNA led to these newly-reincarnated Anacondrai lacking the usual markings). Kapau and Chope weren’t humans, they were Anacondrai ghosts possessing humans through their skulls and other bones wielded as weapons;

In the end, Anacondrai remains DID factor into the plot via the Jadeblades, as well as Pythor's essence being necessary for the spell. Humans became Anacondrai. Not to mention Anacondrai ghosts being an actual thing, which would set up an entire season around ghosts and possession before we got the summer leaks! So I was pretty off the mark, but also not? In hindsight, I wonder if the writers brought back Pythor in S3 just to set up the Anacondrai storyline of S4, and if Pythor was originally supposed to be the mastermind behind the plot, as some speculated, and/or working alongside Chen. I guess all of this could make for a fun AU where the Anacondrai themselves have agency as villains, rather than allies; Or I could salvage this idea for my own original story.

INTRODUCING:

The Elemental Serpentine AU!

In this AU, each Serpentine species is getting reworked! They're all getting new, more varied designs, and I'll be making a lot of new species to align with each elemental power in the show!

I'm also reworking much of the lore surrounding Serpentine, since what we are given is inconsistent, and quite vague.

As of now, I have new designs for each of the Serpentine species that appear in the show! Designs for new species to go with the missing elements will come later.

Please note that this AU is a work in progress; the designs I have here are subject to change!

Details about each species are included under the cut~~~

GENERAL AU STUFF

I decided that I want all of my Serpentine to have tails, instead of just the generals. If they have legs, they end up looking more like anthro lizards than anthro snakes. I'll let them keep the arms, though.

In the show, the Serpentine are covered in intricate details. As nice as these details are, they make it difficult to draw Serpentine in 2D. So, more for my own sanity than anything else, the patterns are getting toned down.

CONSTRICTAI - EARTH

I genuinely hate a lot of aspects of the canon design for the Constrictai. Their non-existent necks and random spikes make them look more like horrible little dinosaur gnomes than snakes. For my design, I let them keep the spikes, but moved them so they weren't sticking straight up out of their head. Most important of all, I gave them necks.

Inspiration: Boa constrictor

HYPNOBRAI - MIND

In spite of how it may seem, I did not remove this species' hood! Real snakes with hoods only 'hood up' as a threat display. I decided to incorporate this into my AU. It's not visible here, but my design has false eyes on the back of the hood. I noticed that the original design has snakes in the patterns, so I've incorporated that in a few places. I think I may have gone too far with simplifying their design, so we'll see how it changes as I continue to iterate.

Inspiration: Spectacled cobra

VENOMARI - POISON

This one has received some of the biggest changes in the AU. I felt the Venomari's extra eyes looked quite out of place in my new lineup, since it would be the only one out of a now larger number of species to have four eyes, so I lowered the number to two. I don't like the original colour scheme all that much, so I decided to take a page out of the poison dart frog book and make them bright and varied in colour. They can have a variety of colours and patterns. Like the Hypnobrai, the Venomari have a hood that can't be seen in this image.

Inspiration: African bush viper

FANGPYRE - FORM

I changed the shape of the head pretty drastically, but the colours are the same, even if the pattern is different.

Inspiration: Coral snake

ANACONDRAI - LIGHT

The colour-changing ability of the Anacondrai is so underutilized that I literally forgot about it until I started rewatching the show with my brother, so I've decided to make it more prominent. In this AU, Anacondrai change colour as a method of communication and expression. They can also change their colour to disappear, just like in the show.

Inspiration: Green anaconda, RainWings from the book series Wings of Fire

VERMILLION - FUSION

Each of the Serpentine are born or hatched without visible limbs, appearing as ordinary snakes to the untrained eye. While most species undergo a metamorphosis at a young age, emerging with two limbs, Vermillion do not, and remain in a larval state for their entire lives.

Inspiration: Garter snake, axolotl

MAARAY - WATER

According to the fan wiki for Ninjago, these guys are supposed to be eels, but I thought they were Serpentine when watching the show, and they have the same head model as some of Aspheera's lackeys, so I've made the executive decision to make them Serpentine in this AU.

Inspiration: Yellow-lipped sea krait

Ninjago Anacondrai War I

I always felt like the Anacondrai War was one of the deepest points in the Ninjago lore b/c of how the serpentine are portrayed.

At first, it looks like the Serpentine attacked out of a superstition of the Golden Master (which, they were kinda right j wrong interpretation) to which escalated to fighting for the realm.

But we learn that in season 4, Chen acc exacerbated that conflict by double-crossing both sides. (which first off, f u broski)

It makes me realize just how the war was fought on both sides. Like don't get me wrong both sides must have done incredible damage to the cities and towns, but the elemental masters thought they fought on the side of good.

didn't the serpentine think the same way?

p.s. I am well aware of the flashback that showed General Arcturus being all villainous & such but that guy looked remorseful when being banished (I feel like he may not have been such a bad leader & certainly didn't want his tribe to go extinct).

[lapjastrzebia]

My nameless oc villain, inspired by anacondrai guys from s4 and because their color scheme fits with the purple oni mask I thought it would be fun to make him a sorcerer of despair or something along those lines.

Headcanon Season 4

Hooooooo boi, this was the “Trauma Season” for Minne. TW: drug abuse

Minne lives in Garmadon’s monastery with Lloyd—after Pythor’s betrayal. She has a secluded room nearest to the waterfall. Garmadon & Lloyd periodically check in on her, but she’s began to take extended periods of disappearing (more like getting high on venomari venom to cope). 

Lloyd obsessively began to train, almost running himself to the ground. Garmadon’s had to take him to the top of the waterfall to train b/c he kept destroying parts of the monastery. He wanted to leave behind the ninja life, but Garmadon was there along the way to help him grieve. 

Kai, Jay, & Cole all visit Zane’s monument periodically, sometimes to clean/leave flowers. Minne & Lloyd have yet to bring themselves to come back. 

Chen is the one person who can always send Minne into a tailspin. Her nightmares concerning him & the First Serpentine War came back in full force during the Tournament. Both Garmadon & Minne haven’t gotten more than 10 hours of sleep per week. 

Clouse’s snake is actually his familiar that took the shape of the Anacondrai’s first serpent. Therefore, it’s not a real Anacondrai & not subject to listen to the General (Minne). 

Chen did not take Minne’s powers right away. Instead he kept her wrapped with vengestone to see if the prolonged effects would truly drain one’s elemental power.

Felt like mashing my Slither Pit tattoo HC with the idea of Kai getting an Anacondrai tattoo.

(the idea behind the tattoo being that it identifies Kai as a pit fighter without actually having to identify himself)

#ninjago #ninjago kai #Tournament of Elements #Ninjago AU #Kai Jiang #Kai Smith #not sure if i explained the tattoo well. I kinda personally like the idea that its not just one place he does the fighting in either #cause the 'Slither Pit' probably exists as multiple different locations in Ninjago #and also. Kai would wanna keep his identity as Kai or as the Red Ninja out of these circles if hed wanna keep fighting. #so hence the Identifying Tattoo #my art #digital art #also didnt feel like drawing a whole ass cultist for this so hes just an arm #Anacondrai Kai #also I am absolutely drawing more Anacondrai Kai it is so much fun #snake mannn

Dad Pythor AU

This is a good-ish Pythor AU. What if Pythor had a child? A son, who died in the tomb after the Anacondrai were locked away by the elemental alliance? His son was the only one who melted his shielded heart, the only thing Pythor ever truly loved besides battle.

"I’ll give you all the candy you can imagine." Pythor promised what would never come true.

The child giggled softly, laughter a bright thing in this everlasting darkness. Pythor's heart warmed. The small Anacondrai yawned, head sleepily nodding against his chest. "Thanks, Dad. Love you."

"I love you as well." He murmured, his voice full of honesty. Pythor pressed a gentle nudge to the young serpentine's forehead, "Rest, little one."

His son's eyes closed.

The next day, they do not open.

When he's found by Lloyd, he should hate the child. But.

Pythor should look at Lloyd, and see his features overlap with his past enemy. He should want to avenge his withered tribe by using Lloyd and betraying him. Maybe even lock him up in a cage and hang him over hot lava for leverage.

Except when he saw Lloyd, Pythor could only see the mirror images of a young mischievous serpent.

...

Lloyd giggled. "Thanks for stealing candy with me, Pythor!"

"You're welcome...little one."

Aka, local snake dude adopts the son of his former enemy, a candy obsessed child who may or may not remind him of his dead son.

seriously considering making a ninjago AU comprised entirely of speculative biology about serpentine because their whole everything is pretty inconsistent but I really like snakes so I wanna fix it up a bit

#i was writing something with constrictai in it #and i realized that they're pretty closely aligned to earth; they burrow and they have super strength like the master of earth #so i wanna tie serpentine species to the elements #cuz that sounds fun #constrictai would be earth ofc #hypnobrai could be mind? #venomari could be poison of toxic or whatever that element was called i forget #fangpyres could be form since they change things into other things #not sure about anacondrai #also i don't really like that aspheera is apparently an ancient hypnobrai cuz aside from the hood she doesn't look anything like one- #-and she doesn't have hypnotizing powers #so i want her to be a member of a species that was a common ancestor of all serpentine #also the snakes from the underwater kingdom whose name i forgot will have water element obviously #i probably should have put that stuff in the main post instead of rambling in the tags. oh well #it's really late rn so i might make an actual post that makes sense and isn't 90% tags tomorrow #ninjago #talking tag #retroactively adding: #ninjago elemental serpentine au
