I find it a missed opportunity that Cole didn't play a role in Seabound with helping Nya unlock her Spinjitzu Burst; If you ignore The Island, which is basically part of the larger Seabound arc anyhow, Master of the Mountain comes right before and is all about Cole learning the Spinjitzu Burst. Given its requirements are to be surrounded by one's element, it's general fanon consensus that this was what Nya did when she unlocked the power of the sea.

Not only does this connect back to a previous season and make the show feel more intertwined, it also gives Cole something to do, builds off of his previous characterization, but also creates the opportunity for emotional conflict. He might be reluctant to teach Nya the Spinjitzu Burst upon hearing what happened to Nyad, or she may intentionally keep this a secret from him. When Nya does perform her big sacrifice, we could have Crystalized begin with Cole feeling guilt because he taught Nya the Spinjitzu Burst; Without it, she wouldn't have merged with the sea.

You could call back to Master of the Mountain again by having Cole ultimately make peace with what he did, by remembering his promise to Lilly, and recognizing that she would've done the same in Nya's place; He would've done the same in her place. In the end, all three chose to stand up to those who were cruel and unjust, to protect those who could not protect themselves.

...That also gets me to another point; The beginning of Crystalized is so similar to the beginning of Tournament of Elements; Both arcs follow the emotional aftermath of the ninja splitting up after a member of their team performs a great sacrifice to defeat the villain and save the day, and eventually have to get together when they're given hope that their dead teammate isn't so dead after all.

I really wish Crystalized hearkened back to that period where the ninja mourned Zane, because it would've been both a sensible callback, and a way to differentiate this arc from that one, by building off of the one which came before. Maybe the ninja ARE still sticking together, with Zane being different in that he's never had to mourn a teammate before; He was the sacrificial teammate the first time. That could lead to him turning off his emotions.

But while on the surface, the ninja seem to be handling it better than with Zane, since they learned their lesson, they may still express their grief in other ways. Such as with Kai becoming more ruthless, which canon already teased at; Maybe this could tie into Lloyd's Oni arc. Like with Zane's sacrifice beforehand, Lloyd urges the team to stick together and this time they do. But like Kai, his frustration with himself for not being good enough, thus necessitating Nya's sacrifice, could lead to Lloyd being more ruthless as a ninja, which could transition into his struggle with the Oni half of him, Harumi's return, the revelation that the Overlord is his grandfather's misguided attempt to purge his Oni half, etc.

That last bit especially, which was left out of the final product, seems to be building up to a lesson about Lloyd not repeating the FSM's mistakes by accepting his Oni half, and he already knew Mystake, Garmadon was finding good in himself, plus the implications of an Oni getting together with a Dragon to create his bloodline... But nothing comes of that. Imagine if Lloyd didn't succumb to his Oni form, but instead accepted it, and by extension accepted the Overlord, absorbing him into his body and making peace with the darkness the way his grandfather didn't.

That could be more interesting than Oni Lloyd actually being evil after all, which is basically the same moral takeaway as canon, just explored differently. It also hearkens back to Star Wars, which Tommy Andreasen takes big inspiration from when writing Ninjago, and the climax of Hunted, if Lloyd chooses not to fight the Overlord, and wins because of it; Rather than fighting Fire with Fire.

ninjago OC !

been seeing a lot of dad! jay so i wanted to share my take on it :) lore is under the cut !!

TW abuse ! ALSO i am no means a writer and i’m definitely illiterate and this is my first time ever writing my ocs lore down (usually i keep it in my brain) so i hope it’s easy to understand 🥲 anywho

Ino is from the kingdom of wildness and is an oni. in oni cultural the runt of the litter is used to do all their dirty work, Ino being the weakest and youngest of his ‘family’ is abused, and treated like a slave.

when jay finds him he is malnourished and neglected, his hair is long and tangled, he has bruises and cuts on his face and old unclean bandages wrapped around his body. The oni have no use for ino, despite him doing all the chores around his house so jay buys him off of them.

it basically goes like this lol

jay- how much for the kid.

oni - ?????? bruh idk like 3 bucks

jay- k. *takes ino and leaves*

after the merge,Jay had taken refuge on a small inhabited island with a few other people from ninjago, they create a village, and are living quite nicely despite them living in a new world. Jay takes Ino to his home and get him cleaned up, but not a single time had ino said a word to jay, did they speak the same language? had he been so scared that he wouldn’t say anything? well it was both. Ino is in-fact, scared and can only speak the old tongue of the oni. Never in his life had he meet a human before, well besides that one fiery girl with red hair, who’s dragon attempted to eat him. but he didn’t count her, she was…. interesting. He did not speak their human language and he looked so different from him so why did the man in blue take him in? but that didn’t matter anymore, Jay had washed him up, gave him fresh clothing, cut his overgrown hair and nails as well as give him a name, a home, and most importantly, a family.

time skip a few years (it can vary depending on how long you think the merge timeskip was)

as time goes by jay teaches ino how to fight and how to maintain his oni powers, along the line he learns spinjitzu. a few years later when jay is corrupted by the kingdom of madness, he loses his memories and joins the administration, unknowingly jay passes his elemental power down to ino as way of saying goodbye.

and that’s kinda what i have lolz, somewhere along the line sora and arin see him doing spinjitzu and are like WOAHHH join our ninja team!!! but he doesn’t cause he’s awkward and wants to keep the jay situation a secret.

some facts! ~~

- ino is quite smart and it did not take him long to learn the ninjago language

- Despite being oni he mostly stays in his human form for fear of being judge

- i draw him with horns, but he canonically doesn’t have them unless his emotions get the best of him and struggles to keep his human appearance

- when he was younger jay had told him many stories about lloyd and wu as his way of saying “well not all oni are bad”, he even mentions mystake but leaves the part of him being drugged by her(season 8)

- jay had given him the name Ino, he saw somewhere that it meant storm and was like COOL but he wasnt aware that it also meant bad

- when ino talks about jay he refers to him as his father or dad, but never actually calls him that (jay has no problem referring to ino as his son)

- before the merge, when ino was younger, he used to play with wildfyre and even prank the lava-tides together, but their friendship didn’t last very long due to the onis and dragons hating eachother ( heatwave wouldn’t let wildfyre play)

- ino meets arin sora and wildfyre in a random village, they get to know each other but later that night the village is attacked by a strange monster. ino loses control of himself when he sees his new friends get hurt and loses control of his oni self.

Ninjago sister AU, pt. 4 Lloyd's turn hehehe 😈

This is gonna be a longer one, so enjoy

Heads up there's probably some typos lurking around in there

Also sorry this took ages heh

(For this AU's sake: Chamille, the master of Form, doesn't exist! <3)

Maeve Montgomery Garmadon

Two years younger than Lloyd

When Misako discovered that her son was the Green ninja, she was determined to leave and find answers

So she left Lloyd at Darkly's, and left Maeve in the care of an old friend

This old friend happened to be Mystake 🤭

Misako did however leave a letter for the both of them when they were old enough to read

It basically just told them that they have a sibling, and when they were old enough they would be able to meet each other

Lloyd and Maeve met at Ninjago Doomsday Comix, this was Lloyd's first time running away from his school

He initially decided to run away to find his sister bc he thought he could find her by himself

But then he got sidetracked by comics lol

They both ended up at the Starfarer section, and they were both about to grab the same issue lol

Lloyd introduced himself as the Mighty Lloyd Garmadon

Maeve was a little confused and told him that they had the same last name, then she asked if he had been told that he had a sister

He said yes obviously and that's when they realised they were actually related

So for the whole day they sat in the comic store just telling each other all about themselves

Yes Wu is aware of Maeve's existence

He would go to Mystake's shop every now and then for tea, as well as to visit his neice

Lloyd would run away from Darkly's often, so he could see his little sis

But then around the start of s1 his visits stopped abruptly and Maeve was worried sick

Around this time, whenever she showed strong emotions, she would randomly morph into someone else

Mystake already knew about her Oni heritage, but never told Wu the reason why Maeve could shapeshift

Wu just assumed she was the current elemental master of Form because he didn't know any better

Ofc he knew about the possibility of it being because she was part Oni, but the chances were so slim that he never even considered it

Eventually Lloyd started to write Maeve letters, and she always wrote back (their handwriting was terrible and was barely readable)

Lloyd told her all about his training to be the green ninja, and that didn't sit right with her

I mean, fighting their dad and possibly dying? Nah she wasn't happy abt that

Lloyd's next visit was in s2, in the Child's Play episode

Maeve was at the comic store at the same time Lloyd and the ninja were

So she introduced herself obviously but didn't know what tf was going on at first, because Lloyd had always described the ninja as teenagers, not kids

When Lloyd gets a hold of the Tomorrow's Tea,, Maeve jumps in and grabs it

She knew that if he was aged up, the final battle would end up being sooner than she wanted

They both fought over it and it ended up getting smashed, aging them both up

Lloyd wasn't very happy about his sister getting roped into all of this

Maeve on the other hand was over the moon

Because she thought that since she was older, she could protect her brother

But we love an overprotective younger sis hehe

Then they reunite with Misako....

Lloyd wasn't having it at first but warmed up to her soon enough

It took Maeve a little longer, because she was kinda pissed at the fact that this woman had been gone "searching for a way to stop the Final Battle" and found little to nothing

When the ninja have to leave for the Dark Island, Maeve is devastated and begged Mystake to let her sneak onto the Bounty, after she had previously asked Wu, who upright refused.

Mystake was confident her ability to shapeshift and they devised an ingenious plan to get Maeve on board heheh

Maeve shifted into Jay as the Ninja were saying their goodbyes and snuck into a crate on the Bounty, meanwhile Lloyd was a little upset that she hadn't come to say goodbye to him

And yes dw she bought loads of snacks for the journey

Lots and lots and lots of Ninja chips

She went undercover as a Stone Warrior for a bit and that's when she finally met her dad

Poor thing was scared out of her mind and she got even more terrified once she heard of his plans to turn Ninjago into his own image

So she went running back to the others lmao

Lloyd initially started to attack her when she met up with the others but she morphed back into herself

The two had a massive argument because Lloyd thought that it was too dangerous for his sis to be there

But Maeve wasn't having any of it

So after that, the two weren't on speaking terms until Lloyd was going up the steps to the Garmatron Fortress

Everyone else had already been hit with Dark Matter and it was only them left

Poor Lloyd started to cry because of how scared he was, and for luck, Maeve gave him the watch she always wore on her wrist

After Lloyd had won, he returned it obviously and their family was whole again 🥰

She then became a student at Sensei Wu's academy and trained under Garmadaddy at his monastery

She was the oldest one there but he didn't mind bc it's his kid ofc

But she still went to New Ninjago City often, to visit Mystake

Lloyd was always busy being the Golden Ninja so they didn't see each other much, but they did write to each other a lot

Maeve went on the school trip to Borg Industries along with the ninja, and she vented to Nya about how Lloyd and her mom always assume that she can't look after herself because she wasn't a ninja like her bro

The only other person who actually believed in her was Garmadon

And ofc Nya knew how she felt so she quickly became the older sister she never had

Then the Overlord came back and all the machines lost control blah blah

Wu demanded that Maeve stay with Mystake. She did but this girl did NOT go quietly

So for s3 she stayed behind with Mystake, who taught her how to propperly use shapeshifting power to her advantage

Then Zane died, and the ninja split up

At this point, Maeve was still living with Mystake, and her family came to visit often

But both her and Mystake were pretty confused as to why she wasn't being taken back to live with them

Then one day, Mystake is delivered an invitation to the ToE for Maeve

She goes ofc, because she sees this as an opportunity to prove herself to her brother and mom

Garmadon had a feeling that she would show up, so he, unlike the others, wasn't suprised when during the first hunt for the jadeblades, she was there waititng for them

Lloyd blew up at her asking why tf she thought this was a good idea

To which she replied that this is what happens when you don't have faith in your own family

Everyone was a little stressed out that they had to "protect her" now-- apart from Kai, who had actually them to lay off her a bit

From that moment on Kai was her favourite

She vowed that she would win this tournament no matter what, and the two weren't on speaking terms up until they had to face off in the roller skate battle

Both of them are stubborn af though so they still decided to fight each other and didn't make up before the fight, much like Cole and Jay

But Maeve broke first, and when Chen rigged the scores so that she won, she immediately defended Lloyd, followed by the rest of the elemental masters

So she lost and fell through the floor, Lloyd tried to jump after her but was held back by the others

Maeve and Lloyd cried together when Garmadon sacrificed himself

When s5 rolls around, Maeve was helping Misako and Nya unpack the new Tea shop

She was an expert bc of helping Mystake out at her own tea shop 🤭

Kai also tells Lloyd and Maeve that he'll look out for them because of Garmadaddy being gone

So anyways her big bro gets possessed by arguably the best villain in the entire show-

She stays with Mystake yet again after Misako demanded she get in the car with her and the customers

She was PISSED at this and even more angry at the fact that no one even tried to reason with her, even though they didn't rly have time to

She continues to stay with Mystake right up to SoG

During that time, Lloyd and Misako visited, she continued helping Mystake at the shop and missed her dad ALOT

There was a period of time where she was just crying every day because he was the only one who really believed in her

During SoG, Lloyd actually sent her a text just venting about his feelings for Harumi, but Maeve got a weird vibe off her

When she hears that the ninja are going to go as far as possible from Ninjago and also to find the Oni Mask, she yet again decides to sneak of as Jay ehehe

At this point Lloyd couldn't give a shit what Maeve was doing anymore so ofc he didn't tell her to leave

So she stayed, which she was very happy about

Then she met Harumi....

She did NOT like this girl

Also she met baby Wu, before she knew he was Wu ofc

Wu kept on following her and Lloyd around until she decided to pick him up and shove him into Cole's arms, telling him to keep him away from her

So then Harumi reveals herself as the quiet one and Maeve is like I TOLD YOU SO

She is then taken prisoner by the SoG and is used in the ceremony to bring Garmadaddy back

But obviously her plan "fails"

Then Garmadon our beloved returns

The ninja are split up and the og four go to the First Realm

Maeve joins the resistance along with her mom

This poor girl is scared out of her mind of what her dad has become

Nya comforted her as much as possible though bc shes an angel

So it gets kinda sad here:

When Harumi is on that building that collapses, Maeve saw her and, even though she didn't like her, knew that she was only a girl who's judgement was clouded by anger

So she did her best to try and save her

But the building ended up collapsing on both of them

Obviously Harumi survives ofc since we see her in Crystalized

Maeve doesn't unfortunately...

Yes guys, Maeve died trying to save Harumi

Now, NO ONE knew that Maeve had died, apart from Nya, until the end of the fight

Nya was absolutely heartbroken and she didn't want to ruin how happy everyone was but when she started to cry, that was when Jay asked what was wrong

Then she said that the building had collapsed while Maeve was in it

Everyone was so shocked at Maeve's passing, because she was so headstrong and confident, and by that point everyone believed that she could look after herself

Which she could, but fate had decided differently that day

Lloyd instantly blamed himself and cried into Kai's shoulder when he found out

Kai was fucking ANGRY and this guy was gonna go to Garmadon himself and kill him right there, if it weren't for Cole convincing him to stay

Needles to say, everyone felt as if a part of their lives was gone after Maeve died

Lloyd was not ready to accept the fact that his sister was gone, and searched the collapsed building not just for her, but for Harumi too

He found nothing apart from the wristwatch that Maeve has owned for years

The same one she gave him for luck during the Final Battle with the Overlord

It was broken and slightly battered but he didn't care

He hasn't taken that watch off ever since

Zane turned off his emotions for about a week before Pixal turned it back on, and once she did Zane just stayed in bed for like another week

He hadn't experienced loss since his father and it was still kinda new to him

Cole stopped eating vanilla sponge cakes, because those were her favourite

Nya sometimes liked to scroll through the selfies they took together, but then Jay would always tell her to stop bc it usually ended in her crying

Kai was probably the angriest out of everyone, he was just so pissed off at Garmadon, who didn't rlly seem to care that his kid was dead

Lloyd did not leave his room for weeks, only when the monastery was rebuilt was when he decided to drag himself out

His eyes had lost their brightness and he just looked so tired

Nya had to stop herself from crying just from looking at how broken he was without his little sis

In March of the Oni, Garmadon revealed that Maeve's power wasn't an elemental one, but one that came from her Oni blood

Lloyd and Kai both get really pissed that Garmadon was just so nonchalantly talking about his daughter (who btw was dead) and Kai was about to pounce on him

Zane and Cole had to hold him back

After MotO, Lloyd was on the couch one night just staring and the blank TV when Kai came in

He asked him what was wrong and Lloyd just told him all bout how he still wasn't over Maeve's death, and how he can't live with himself knowing he could've saved her

In truth, the poor boy blamed himself

He once again cried in Kai's shoulder and eventually fell asleep

He was so exhausted

A photo of her and Lloyd together was hung up by Wu and Misako in the monastery, but whenever Misako visited, she avoided there at all costs, because she didn't want to cry every time she saw her daughter's face

During s11, Lloyd told Akita all about Maeve and how they lost her

He shed a few tears and even though Akita was kinda annoyed at the fact he was just telling her his whole life story, she felt for him because she knew what it was like to be without a sibling

When Lloyd first reunited with Harumi in Crystalized, he had to hold himself back from just smashing her head in

She laughed when she heard that Maeve died while trying to save her

Later on she feels really guilty ofc

While Garmadon was in his little apartment with Christofern, she had time to think abt his daughter's death

He was kinda confused about how he felt, but when he told Vinny, he explained it was grief

Garmadon refused to believe he was upset over it but was he thought more on it, he did realise he felt a tinge of, what was it....regret??

After the merge, in the monastery, the photo of Lloyd and Maeve was damaged, but Lloyd immediately replaced the frame and placed it beside Wu's photo

Kinda sad ikkk

I'm kinda emotional rn lmao but here are a few Maeve facts

Maeve and Lloyd are identical apart from the fact that her hair was longer, and her eyes weren't as bright as Lloyd's

Maeve died not knowing if Mystake was alive of not, and that's saying a lot considering the fact that she raised her and was like a second mother to her

The watch that Maeve used to wear used to belong to Misako, it was a gift from Garmadon

She used to sometimes use her shapeshifting power to prank people and steal stuff

She always wore mismatched socks

Her hair was always in a braid like her mother's

In the time between Rebooted and ToE, her and Garmadon would sometimes go fishing together, Lloyd and Misako would join in on occasion

The last thing she thought about before she died was how Lloyd and her mom were going to feel once she was gone

She had a passion for baking, whenever Lloyd would visit, she'd make white chocolate cookies-- those are his favourite

On her keys, she had a green ninja keychain

She loved to borrow the ninja's stuff: Cole's hoodies, Nya's hairpins, Kai's hair gel, Jay's 3DS and Zane's cooking/baking books

Maeve never found out the true origin of her powers, since no on ever told her; not even Mystake did.

That is all !! Sorry if you come across any typos ! Once again I'm sorry this took so long to get out, and last, but definitely not least, is Zane, coming next !! <33

New Oni/Djinn connection (which might be a bit of a reach, but thank god I have long arms!)

When Mystake reveals her true form, she lets out a sort of unbearable shriek, which causes Killow to let go of her and cover his ears, and the Howlers, Djinn curses, also... have the ability to shriek y'know this connection sounded better in my head nevermind guys someone grab the guillotine, off with me!!!

#ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #raine's rambles #raine's shitposting #we shld consider shrieks as oni power tho <333 imo #raine's lore #kind of .. idk

FSM during march of the oni, how they feelin'?

Eeeeeee I'm so glad you asked because the thoughts I have had about this.

First of all some (potentially unnecessary) background info.

1. So Mystake is one of The Oni Warlords. This is canon. What isn’t canon is which one. While I haven’t fully decided on which one she’s going to be I’m leaning towards Venge because of a whole backstory and character arc that I haven’t written yet. But it’s not overly important right now.

2. Mystake and the Fsm have a parent-child relationship in this au. Mystake is also one of the people he learnt to fight properly from.

3. In this au the Oni Warlords are gods. But unlike Fsm, who simply can't die, they can be killed. However their deaths aren't permanent, and they always find a way to return, whether its by healing their own bodies, or by simply constructing new ones. Though depending on who kills them it might take longer to come back.

4. Because Mystake is a Warlord herself, it the other two they took around a thousand [the time may change] or so years for them to come back after she killed them. As a result, there was enough time between the Warlords leaving to chase the Fsm across The Sixteen Realms, and all three returning to the First Realm, that The Omega had time to rise to power. However, they were no where near as as powerful or beloved as the three Warlords were, so it didn't take long for them to be overthrown again, and The Warlords restored to power. The Warlords, along with the Fsm, ended the war between the Dragon and the Oni.

But The Omega had already gained a following of Oni who either did not want the war to end, or were outraged at The Omega being overthrown. So they bided their time, waiting for the perfect moment to get revenge on The warlords beloved half-breed. This revenge, of course, involved invading Ninjago. The reason there is such a large gap in-between the ending of the war [while I haven't got an exact timeline yet, I'm thinking it ended a few thousand years before Garmadon was born] is because they were waiting for a) the Fsm to be out of Ninjago and/or distracted (the Overlord's return fits this category nicely) and b) for a natural pathway to open between the First Realm and Ninjago (like the one in the Wailing Alps.)

5. Garmadon never died, and Mystake never died either (not that is would have been permanent if she had).

6. Wu and Garmadon lost their powers when Garmadon got banished to the underworld (this is also what caused the rapid aging). Since the Overlord's second defeat, they've slowly been coming back. But during March of the Oni they are on the same power level as a regular elemental master, otherwise the probably could've have taken out The Omega's army themselves.

So as of March of the Oni, the ninja are all fully aware of both Fsm being alive, and Mystake being an Oni Warlord. However, when the Oni attack, both of them are taking a vacation in another realm, so Ninjago City is still covered in darkness.

At this point Wu and Garmadon have switched to their true forms but with their powers being weakened, it only helps a bit. They are also trying desperately to contact either their father or Mystake through either prayer or magic. However, they don't succeed until they've already been barricaded in the monastery.

When the Fsm hears his children screaming in his head for help, he is understandably worried, it's not often that their kids are in true peril after all. When they finally manage to get the story out of their kids, they are furious in a way they haven't been in thousands of years. They quickly explain the situation to Mystake, who is (almost) as livid as Fsm, before teleporting them them to the monastery.

(They cause a lot of commotion once they get to the monastery. The civilians who had sheltered had not expected two massive beings to randomly appear in there midst. Especially since one looks similar to the beings they just escaped, and the other resembles the children of God. So it's up to the ninja to calm them down. Unfortunately telling them that the First Spinjitzu Master himself has arrived has the opposite effect, but at least they're less scared now.)

Upon arrival Fsm is momentarily thrown off by the civilians in the monastery, but they have spent their entire life being noticed and stared at, so the awe and fear that the civilians express doesn't bother him.

Fsm quickly transforms their clothes into proper armour (think crystalized style) and launches themself over the monastery walls and into the battle (Mystake doesn't follow him, she knows better than to get in the way of her child when he is on a warpath). Fsm proceeds to absolutely thrash The Omega and their army; burning them, freezing them, and throwing them off of the mountain. He makes the Oni regret ever conceiving this idea. The Fsm pays special attention to The Omega, and rips out their heart with their bare claws, because how dare The Omega think that they can just take his home, his family from him. They will pay for this in the life and blood, and no being in the sixteen realms can help them now. He will wipe them from the face of Ninjago.

And for the first time, The omega truly realises that just because the First Spinjitzu Master put an end to the war, it does not mean that they are a pacifist. It does not mean that they cannot rage with all the fury and savageness of a full-blooded Oni. They are balance incarnate, this does not make them good, and it's The Omegas fault for assuming that they were.

And so the Oni are banished and destroyed by the god of the land they sought to conquer. When the fighting stops, Garmadon creaks open the monastery gates to look outside. Fsm is covered in the Oni's blood, looking (and feeling) like one wrong move from someone is going to send them into a fit of madness. But they relax a bit at the sight of their eldest child safe. After making sure Garmadon is all right, the Fsm stalks back to monastery to find the rest of his family. And also to change out of their armour and clean up because there is blood in the seams and on his face and it's gross.

Once he enters the monastery he herds Garmadon, Wu, Lloyd, and even Mystake into the monastery, and they are wise enough not to argue with him. The First Spinjitzu Master is understandably agitated, and Mystake, Garmadon, and Wu know him, and their general Oni instincts well enough, to understand that they will barely be let out of his sight for the next few days (Lloyd, at this point, hasn't really experienced the full might of an Oni's possessiveness, but he will just have to get use to it).

Eventually the rest of the ninja sort out the civilians, and set them up in a nearby village while Ninjago City is still covered in darkness (the monastery has enough room for all of them, but the ninja aren't willing to find out what the First Spinjitzu Master will do to any "intruders"). At some point, Mystake sends for the other two warlords, who clear Ninjago City of the dark fog.

So yeah, Fsm is absolutely enraged that The Omega is attacking their home, and ends up reverting to the base instincts of 'defend your territory', 'defend your pack', and 'destroy anyone who harms them'. After he calms down he ends up a bit embarrassed about how he handled it, but before he can dwell on it too much he collapses from exhaustion.

But what a way to re-introduce themself to the wider population of Ninjago.

And in case you’re wondering where Morro is in all this, he's busy vibing with Nyad, who has all her memories because this au is incredibly self-indulgent.

#can you tell i love mystake #once again this ended up being way longer than expected #but oh well #fsm lives au #ninjago fsm #fsm ninjago #first spinjitzu master #ninjago mystake #ninjago wu #ninjago omega #ninjago garmadon #lego ninjago #ninjago

Will we ever find out how the fsm and mystake met?

Though I obviously plan to go into deeper detail with it, it’s already canon that Mystake was one of the Oni Warlords that was sent to follow the FSM with the mission to turn him on the Oni side (or kill him). They don’t reach the Realm of the Endless Sea (now Ninjago) until long after the FSM forms the island (but before the Overlord manifests), and the FSM is well into adulthood at that point.

Mystake was the first to find and confront him, but he wouldn’t submit. Instead of fighting Mystake, he took the chance to show her what had he created and exactly what he’d hoped from his own realm. Mystake falls in love with the world and the FSM and subsequently kills her fellow Warlords and hides the three Oni Masks they brought with them, and then turns her mission into supporting the FSM in his ideals of balance.

And then, after the first sealing of the Overlord (and the Golden Essence), the FSM divides his remaining Elemental Powers into sixteen and disperses them among his most trusted companions, friends, and other individuals, creating the First Generation of the Elemental Alliance. He is not only left with the Green Element for himself, but also grants Mystake, his wife, the Element of Surprise…for there was no greater surprise in the realm to him than her unwavering support for him <3

#(…and also for more symbolic reasons such as her being a “deceptive Oni”)#(but that’s not nearly as pretty/romantic)#ninjago #legacyverse #info tag #Mystake #the first spinjitzu master #elemental compendium

Overwhelmed(part 13 Vinny x Garmadon)

(go check out part 1-12 if you haven't already)

The two lovers slept for a few hours, but Garmadon woke up first he felt like absolute shit and let out a sigh. The former warlord sat up and stared down at his resting angel and smiled to himself. "I don't deserve you..." he whispered to himself before gently kissing his lovers' forehead earning a soft little smile from Vinny. Garmadon stood up before stretching. He was honestly sick of being here, but he had to help he wanted to help his son. Though it did hurt that his son was afraid of embracing his oni form, but couldn't blame him practically all the onis' he's ever seen have been some what evil not counting Mystake.

Garmadon walked out of the monastery and looked around he opened the gate and sat on the edge. It was pretty late and everyone was resting or so he thought. Garmadon leaned back and stared at the sky the stars were shining and it was beautiful. He really started to admire things when he met Vinny, he would've never seen the significance of something before. The thought of that made him chuckle softly, and closed his eyes. "Mind if i join you?"A voice suddenly called out softly causing Garmadon to turn his attention to the owner of the voice.

It was Lloyd, "Not at all.."Garmadon responded to his son before looking back up at the sky. Lloyd sat down next to his father and stared at the sky. "Does Vinny know you're up?" the green ninja asked his father, which Garmadon responded by shaking his head. "i really am sorry..."Lloyd said breaking a silence that stood there for two minutes. "I said it was fine..."He responded to his son, "No it isn't this isn't the first time i heard someone talk to me in that tone" Lloyd responded.

Garmadon stared at his son before letting out a sigh, "You have every reason to not have given me a chance and think that i could not change...."The oni told his son, "No...no I didn't, i shouldn't be judging you for your past mistakes and it wasn't your fault, but...i am really happy you found someone to give you a chance and i can honestly tell you changed"Lloyd said smiling at his father.

"I agree...about finding a person that believed in me not the other stuff"Garmadon responded quickly adding the last part, hearing this made Lloyd laugh out softly, "Believe what you want but remember what i said" said the green ninja comforting his father. Lloyd leaned on his fathers' shoulder, this caught Garmadon off guard but he didn't mind he really did want to make up with his son. Garmadon rested his hand on his sons' head. The two stayed there for 30minutes until Lloyd fell asleep and Garmadon picked up his son and carried him to his room gently laying him on his bed.

On the way back to his room he saw his brother who gave him a soft smile, as Garmadon entered the room he carefully went back into bed not wanting to wake up Vinny. It was at the moment that he's ever felt so calm before.

(Awwww my heart this is like the most heart warming chapter i've ever written and i love it i mean who doesn't love father and son bonding, it's also long hope you guys enjoy)

Wow. This episode was

Tough.

I kind of took a couple of minutes to watch a video in YT to organize my thoughts (it didn't help), and think about what I want for breakfast tomorrow (it did help).

Our team is split up between realms. One side thinks the other is dead, and the other side has no idea what the fate of the one side is. That's going to hit so much harder in the next season.

Lloyd is without his powers. He at least has Nya, Misako, and Pixal to rely on. I feel like the four of them are going to spend quite a lot of the next season on the run. And being helped by the many allies they've collected on the way.

Cole, Zane, Jay, Kai, and Little Wu are going to be traversing the First Realm, the Realm of Dragons and Oni. I'm not sure what to expect form this plot in the next season, other than the ninja learning more about dragons and the oni.

And maybe meeting some long lost relatives of Lloyd, Wu, and Garmadon.

I'm going to take some time and watch Quinton's 9 AND A HALF HOUR LONG VIDEO ON SAM & CAT. The plan is to start season 9 tomorrow. Until then!

Below the cut are the predictions I got right and wrong.

Correct

The Sons of Garmadon are collecting the Oni Masks to bring Garmadon back from the dead.

There is something else going on with Harumi. Boy, was there.

Hutchins is not involved with the Sons of Garmadon. RIP Hutchins.

Harumi is involved with the Sons of Garmadon somehow. *stares into the camera like the Office*

Harumi is the Quiet One. This one was one I hated being right about.

Harumi's arrest won't last long. Barely 5 minutes into the next episode.

Mystake will have some tea to heal Lloyd.

Incorrect

The Big Man is someone we've met before. His VA we all knew, but was a whole new character.

Dr. Yost or his remains will be important to Lloyd and Rumi's expedition. He did not. We have no idea what happened to him. RIP Dr. Yost.

Harumi is planning on having Garmadon bring back her parents. She just wants revenge on Lloyd.

Partially

Family reunion. We kind of got a reunion with the Garmadon family, but not entirely.

Unconfirmed

Mr. E is a Nindroid we've met before. I don't think this one will ever be confirmed.

The Demon and The Sea

~1000 words

Mystake. It was a cruel name, but one she deserved. She didn’t exactly feel like she was living up to her purpose. It was like something inside her was broken, and she wasn’t sure how it had gotten this way. But she couldn’t help it. As she looked around herself she saw only things which made her feel… wonder. Something which she had never felt before coming here, and something she never wished to end experiencing.

She had separated from the group to ponder to herself, and she knew exactly where she wanted to think. She had seen it as it had formed and she ran to it now- the place where the water crept onto the land like a thin translucent blanket. The rocks shrank in size as she approached it, and soon she was at the bank- the pit of trillions of rocks which led to the sea. She stood at its edge, a feeling of nervousness spilling over her underlying elation. She decided that to experience the landscape as best as possible, she would need to take the form of those it was meant for. In a moment she had transformed herself into a body which she had taken more times than she would care to admit. This version of herself had no horns, but instead long flowing black hair which seemed to embrace her as it fell around her shoulders. Her skin was lightened from its unearthly pitch black, and the purple glow of her eyes faded into non-luminous irises. Around her new body sat a new set of clothing. She tried something different every time she transformed. Today, she was attempting pants. The long skirts that most of the women seemed to wear were certainly easier to conceive, but the novelty which this new option afforded her was well worth the attempt. A loose pairing of white canvas shirt and slacks graced her figure, and she quite liked the way they felt against her skin.

She reached out one of her newly morphed feet into the strange expanse. She could feel as the ground shifted and wriggled beneath her. She smiled at the sensation, new and exciting. She quickly brought the other foot forward to be fully immersed in the experience. She tried walking around on the land, and found it a thrilling game to try and balance as she moved. As she neared the water she could feel the breeze carry a new temperament as well. It was salty and sticky, but fresh and cool. It was overwhelming the number of sensations for just one oni to be taking in at once. How was it possible that she could ever be expected to leave things like this behind, let alone destroy them?

Mystake very slowly lowered herself to sit down on the sea of tiny particles, now feeling the shifting grains in between her fingers. She sat for a while; a long while. She wished more than anything that she might be afforded the opportunity to sit in this place forever, endlessly drinking in the atmosphere of this unique new world she had found herself in. As she thought, the water began to rise up in front of her. It rose taller and taller, until crashing very near to her. She reached forward to feel the droplets as they splashed forward. They were small and cold. The way they scattered made the feeling quite invigorating.

As the water again receded, a figure was left in its place. She lay on her stomach in front of Mystake, her body seemingly entirely made of the liquid which had been there moments before. She wore a wide grin on her face and an eye more curious than Mystake’s own. Her hair spread out in every imaginable direction, and the insides of her body swirled around in a hypnotic dance.

“I haven’t seen you before,” she mused. Her voice was light and airy, a new sound which was fascinating to listen to. “I’ve been watching all the ones he makes… and you’re not one of them.”

Mystake felt no need to retreat as she sensed no threat from this being. She briefly changed her appearance back to her natural state as a way of explanation. “I’m not one of them.”

The newcomer’s eyes grew wide. “Oh! What a neat trick!” she clapped. Mystake quickly changed herself back, feeling a strange discomfort in her native form. “Why do you do it?”

Mystake thought for a moment, the answer still unclear to herself. “I’m not too sure. I guess I just like it better,” she shrugged.

“I think I like this one better too,” her companion agreed. “Where are your friends?”

Mystake pulled her knees into her chest. “I’m not so sure they’re my friends anymore.”

Her visitor seemed unconcerned with addressing her emotions, but questioned them all the same. “Why?”

“They want to stop the boy.” Mystake explained.

“He’s so interesting, isn’t he?” The woman of water sat up, crossing her legs in front of her. “He’s displaced quite a bit of the ocean. I’m not too sure that he knows what he’s doing.”

Mystake lifted up a handful of the particles below her, watching as they slipped between her fingers. “Still, I can’t help but like what he’s ended up with.”

“The change has been awfully exciting!” The visitor giggled as she talked. “I must say, I am interested to see what he comes up with next!”

Mystake smiled, her eyes slipping over to the horizon. “Me too.”

“Well, if you’re going to be here a while, perhaps we could be friends instead.”

The offer intrigued Mystake. She didn’t know much about the being in front of her, but she was endlessly interested in having someone to share her discoveries with. “What’s your name?”

“I have no chosen form nor name,” the figure responded. “I am one with the sea!”

“Well, certainly there’s something I could call you,” Mystake pressed.

Her new friend paused for a moment, leaning back. “In a past life, they called me Nyad. You could call me that if you’d like.”

“Alright then. It’s nice to meet you, Nyad.” Mystake smiled.

Friendship was such a riveting thing to feel quite so strongly.

I think one of the things that made the original series so compelling is how interwoven everything was. Sure, it wasnt always perfect, but each season brought to the table some new connections to the lore, some character growth, some advancements in continuity. Even if a character or subplot only lasted one season, you could still feel their influence on the story several seasons later.

Chen is my favorite example of this. He may have just been the villain of season 4, but his schemes introduced a lot of information about elemental powers, his defeat initiated season 5, and his impact can still be felt as late as season 7 (foreshadowing about Ray and Maya, elemental alliance stuff, etc.) In Way of the Departed theres even suggestions that Chen had Clouse use dark magic to corrupt the Time Twins, leading to their villainy and causing not just the plot of season 7, but also Kai and Nya's whole backstory. Clouse, having returned as a ghost thanks to season 5, is responsible for conjuring Nadakhan and starting season 6.

And on the note of season 5! That season introduced us to the Sixteen Realms and the Realm Crystal, which become important aspects of season 6, and Yang's temple, which became important in DotD and season 7. It also formally introduced Ronin and turned Cole into a ghost, which are *also* major plot details going forward. AND it planted the seeds for Wu's eventual character arc in seasons 7-9. This season's impact expands past itself.

A lot of times, not all the time but often enough, whenever lore gets introduced at some point in the og series, it gets utilized much later on. Captain Soto, formerly a one-off villain from season 2, becomes plot-important in season 6. The Golden Weapon is shot into space in season 2, melted into Golden Armor in season 3, then melted down back into the weapons to defeat the Oni in season 10. The Great Devourer causes Harumi's tragic backstory. Mystake, who started out as a background gag character, became a key participant not just in the show but the worldbuilding and lore. The love triangle and subsequent rift between Jay and Nya doesnt get fully resolved until season 6. The ninja return to the burnt-down monastery in season 6, DotD, and season 7, and eventually rebuild it in season 10.

See what i mean? Everything somehow ties back to itself. Its far from perfect, but there is a solid sense of continuity that connects everything in increasingly complex ways.

I think thats a big part of what makes Wildbrain feel so different. Dont get me wrong, i love Wildbrain and i enjoy a lot of it, but it definitely lacks the cohesion that had seemingly defined Masters of Spinjitzu. A lot of their Wildbrain adventures feel less like installments in a greater narrative, and more like a series of loosely connected sidequests. Exciting sidequests that are usually really fun to watch, certainly, but sidequests all the same.

With the exception of Seabound and Crystalized, you could probably watch Wildbrain out of order and not much would change. If Prime Empire or the Island happened before SotFS, none of those seasons would face any impact from that. They are largely episodic and detached from each other in ways the og series never was. But if you tried to shuffle up the season order in Masters of Spinjitzu, youd have to rewrite a lot of stuff to make it work.

I almost wanna say thats part of why Seabound and Crystalized feel like such a return to form, and why MotM is so well-beloved. MotM introduced us to Lilly, fleshed out Cole's backstory, gave Wu a lil character arc that built on what came before it (Wu feeling useless bc the past few adventures were done without him), and finally gave some kind of resolution to Lloyd's Harumi-related trust issues (not just referencing her, but actually giving him a character arc about it). Seabound introduced us to more lore about the world's history and the backstory of the FSM, gave Nya one of the most compelling character arcs in the whole show that builds on and satisfies her past arcs, even gave her name a backstory that ties into the lore, featured relevant cameos from prior seasons (Vania, Maya, the Keepers), and provided an ending that would have lasting repercussions on seasons to come. And Crystalized...well, i wont spoil anything, but you get where im going with this.

Now, obviously this isnt the only deciding factor of whether or not a season is good. Seasons 6 and 7 are a mixed bag in terms of quality, yet have very integrated lore and character arcs. But seasons 11, and 12, which many people dislike, are also the ones that most noticeably feel like theyre happening in a vacuum. Any effect they have on later seasons, or any effect prior seasons have on them, is not as significant or immediate as in other seasons.

With the original series, there was a sort of cause and effect, almost. Rebooted caused ToE, which caused Possession, which caused Skybound, and so on. Theres a clear and specific chain of causality, and the sequence of events has a large impact on the events themselves. The same cannot be said of Wildbrain.

Again, i do enjoy Wildbrain, and there are a lot of things i even think it did better than the og. But i definitely feel like it wouldnt be half as contentious among fans if it had the same cause-and-effect plot structure as the og. Like, something in ns11 being the inciting incident for season 12, and something in season 12 causing season 13...you get the idea.

Anyway brb i gotta go rewrite Wildbrain

#i do genuinely wanna rewrite wildbrain but i wanna wait for crystalized to be done first #with the goal of making it feel more consistent with the tone and structure of the og #ninjago #destiny post
