I really like it when powers are used for more than just fighting. Like it’s part of the character and their expressions. I wish Ninjago did it more and I really like when people explore it. Also it’s so cool in like animation or art.

Cole will cause the ground to shake whenever he walks when he’s upset or after an argument. You can tell when he’s growing annoyed by the sand and dust gathering and whipping around him like a mini sandstorm. When he feels infuriated or lashes out spikes of earth will erupt from the floorboards much to the dismay of those who have to fix it. When he’s distraught the earth will crack and lava will pool out of it. His wounds have a strange molten look to them. Anything earth related will cling to him and it’s so hard to get it off, you’ll spot him at the beach his entire lower body and arms coated in sand while an entire wave of it trails behind him like a dress trail. Sand will poof out of his hair when he’s surprised. His eyes, hair and skin will start to glitter and glisten like a geode when he’s excited, nobody knows if they’re just imagining it or not. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll leave a bed of beautiful flower-shaped crystals behind after making a particularly happy memory. If Nya was watching the crystals bloom around him as they talked, she didn’t say anything

Jay will cause a slight wind around him and the the air will be filled with buzzing electricity when he’s annoyed. Lightning will accumulate under his skin and give him a pulsing glow you’d rub off as the lighting when he’s angry, jumping from him to any power source or conductor nearby, hair standing up on end as it comes close. When he feels guilty or anxious, his body will go frantic, regularly twitching with nervous spasms and seizures. His eyes have that extra little energetic spark to them that makes it look like pure plasma or the middle of a thunderstorm. When he’s excited, his hair will poof up and frizzle, small arcs will shoot off of his form and there’ll be a quick bounce in his step. Maybe one day, when he’s dancing together with Cole, beautiful spheres of lightning and veils of plasma filled the room like a light show or a concert in response to his genuine joy. Of course, no such scenario has ever happened yet… to our knowledge, at least.

Zane will cause the air to chill around him under annoyance and his eyes will turn ice sharp. Frost spreads around him when he’s upset and blizzards will form and encase his body in ice when he’s devastated. Sometimes you can hear a soft crack in his step and a thin layer of ice will coat where he walked. When he’s excited powder snow will accentuate his movements and vanish in a trace as if his hands were coated in glitter. His skin might have a cold touch and ice-like shine to it when he’s content and comfortable. His hair will be coated in frost and light snow will begin to fall around him when he’s happy, but it isn’t an uncomfortable cold, rather a peaceful, ethereal type of snow that drowns out all other sound and leaves you in silent awe. When he gave Kai an ice sculpture of a seadragon in one such instance, Kai was sure it would melt within the next day, yet the sculpture has remained and not so much as a drop of water has ever been shed from it. Perhaps the emotions of elemental masters have a greater effect on their powers than previously believed.

Kai will cause the very air to smolder in his rage, flames will lick up his hands as ashes and embers fly in the wind and his hair dances and glows like a roaring fire consuming the sky. He will sizzle and crackle under annoyance as short lived sparks and embers entwine around him like a firecracker. His body emits just that tiny bit more warmth that makes him the favorite person to hang out with in the winter, whether the attempts be disguised and subtle or obvious and straight to the point. When content his entire body seems to emit a soft, sun-like glow and a gentle warmth will radiate out of him. One time, Lloyd begged and pleaded for Kai to take him to see his first ever festival. Little did he know it was Kai’s first as well. Lloyd could swear he saw shimmers and patterns and lights trail up his arm and through his hair before bursting around him in the air like fireworks as he watched a traditional Ignacian performance, though who really knows if that was more than simply the prop flames on stage.

Nya will cause waves to gather around her as an eerie blue light encompasses her eyes and bright blue markings trail down her skin and reflect off the water when she’s angry. When she’s aggravated, nearby water-based appliances may suddenly burst (see Seabound) and shower the room. Near the ocean, waves will lap at her feet and rise up to envelop her hair and sweep her away in an attempt to take her back to where she belongs. If light hits her the right way, you might see the way her skin looks so strangely translucent with the slightest hint of blue, and the light reflecting off of it like her skin were the surface of the ocean. When she’s glad or content water seems to spray around her in just the right way as a faint rainbow traces her movements and arcs around her. When she’s at shore with Zane after a long day and a heavy discussion, maybe coral will sprout around her and bubbles will float into the air as she pulls away from the hug, leaving Zane alone to wonder at the beautiful fairy tale land. And.. well.. relocate the coral. Just in case.

And finally Lloyd. Lloyd is unique in that his don’t often manifest physically. Sure, there’s the green glow of his eyes, the faint gold coming off of his arms and the slight pointed ears, but for the most part they figured his powers simply didn’t show themselves like the others. Which was correct, partially. But there was just that feeling that they brought with them. Sometimes there would be an anger originating from the very air they breathed, so strong that it would nearly choke them. Other times there would be a deafening silence surrounding them, as if blanketing the world itself. The only common factor in these occurrences was, well, Lloyd. It wasn’t until a late night video game session, after they had defeated emperor Garmadon, that Jay finally put the pieces together amidst the raging emotions that encompassed the room, that were later silenced as Lloyds golden glow grew brighter than ever.

so anyways this is a call to action for you to think about their powers more. My job here is done.

Ninjago Headcanons - Fire Element

Some Worldbuilding stuff starting with the Fire element.

So Kai (and fire elementals in general) have kind of an inner flame. This inner flame will vary on intensity in normal days depending on the weather.

If its too hot outside Kai's body temperature will lower to compensate for the weather and avoid overheating but he will feel sluggish/sleepy, when this happens the best he can do is take sunbaths to get the warmth his flame won't give him [Like a Lizard].

If its too cold Kai will felt like he's burning, this will dry his skin and make him incredibly thirsty, it also tires him out more because he's using more energy, he's gonna be a bit more active/awake but if he doesn't have the necessary energy to keep the flame at the necessary intensity then he's probably gonna pass out.

So there's this thing that if his body tried to acclimate too fast to an incredibly sudden change on the temperature then his inner flame will make his temperature clash either giving him fever to the point of Hyperpyrexia or get his temperature so low that causes Hypothermia. (The flame can acclimate, but not suddenly, in the case of trying to do so is not uncommon for said flame to have trouble controlling how much it has to upper or lower the temperature which causes the crash)

This is specially dangerous with snow and water, for the suddenness and quickness is Water, since water is quick to cling to his body and suck the temperature out; the colder the water the easier and faster is for him to get hypothermia, meanwhile Snow works similarly but is effects take more to settle on, however is more dangerous if left without intervention since the cold lasts longer and is more difficult to revert. In these cases the best way to restart the flame is an active campfire.

He's also kinda waterproof and fireproof, the heritage of merlopian genes [I don't care if that book is non-canon] makes him just a bit better at handling water than previous fire masters but not by that much, unlike Nya who definitely benefits more from the waterproof abilities

Here's the thing, he's (and Nya) aren't 100% fireproof, in your daily life sure, they are, but in an hypothetical case you could put him on a very high fire and he would resist... For some time.

At some point if the temperature of the fire is high enough and constant it'll not only overload him (which can also cause a temperature clash) causing his inner flame will also start to go down because is trying to compensate for the temperature outside but his "fireproof" body also will start to wear out eventually making him able to get burn. Think of its like oxidation, a decent amount is fine but it'll eventually break his barriers causing harm.

When he uses his powers he uses a lot of energy he constantly needs water and food (something he shares with Jay), the first because he can enter on a dehydration state very quick and the second for energy, depending for how long he used his powers he might need to moisturize his skin. Also their bones tend to get a dark to black coloration, Kai's particularly are black, Ray's are more dark maroon for example.

Funfact: He didn't had a clash on the volcanoes because he unlocked his true potential which gave him a boost and temporarily immunity, otherwise he would've quickly overheat and his flame would've eventually shut down because of how hot it was.

A lot of this is cause because he's not a pure elemental (See Nya merging with the sea) so his physical form is what causes a lot of these limitations, is the same with the others too, where they able to become their elements most of these problems wouldn't really exist.

Ps. The more he uses his power the better is his body at managing changing temperatures fast and better resistance to high temperatures. It still can hurt him tho but is less likely to happen the more he gets used to his powers, S1 Kai and DR Kai have very different limits.

Ps. 2. He does have an affinity with fire-related animals, this is however tricky as there aren't a lot out there, unlike Nya who has afiinity with general sea animals Kai's pool is limited to creatures like dragons, phoenixes, etc.

This is an affinity, he has an easier time getting to common ground with them, it doesn't mean he can actively let's say, speak dragon.

Ps. 3. Fire (and heat) elementals like the sun, they swear they sometimes hear it whispering to them... Kai thinks the sun is loud and is this close to get a water gun.

Ninjago Remastered Designs!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bye! - ✒️🐉

Alr here comes the "long" ask ig

Thanks to you bringing back my wolf children/werewolves/wolves brainrot, my brain brained a weird lore in my brain about your inhuman thundersnow au.

Remenber this guy? Well yeah, he was the EM of lightning before Libber (also her dad), during the Serpentine War he used his raijū form to fight, even if he was one of the less powerful lightning EM ever seen (based off the color of his lightning being yellow, yellow lightning is less hotter than blue lightning) he took many serpetine down and in general it was like brining a crazy new weapon to the war that suddenly gives certain side a great advantage, ya know, war stuff.

After the war finished, despite him being a good guy. Raijūs started to be seen as horrible bloodthirsty creatures just because of what he did during the war, which wasn't too different to what other EM did is just that he did it as a wolf, even Garmadon thanks to the Great Devouerer venom did worse.

Anyway, people started to get paranoid about raijūs and this caused to some people dedicate most of their time to hunt them down, not all hunters did it because they were corcened or smth but because they simply wanted to have fun killing an exotic species, or simply capturing them for who knows what (maybe using them for taxidermy?? spooky experiments??? biological weapons??? idk)

Slowly the individuals of this species were less and less, until there was only one left, Libber. Her father died and she almost did too, in and the rest is history she leaving Jay with the walkers, etc...

One more species that got extinct thanks to humans.

(this is not my last ask 👹.)

yo this idea is dark af... hell yeah im using it, with some amendments. be warned i also used this ask as an opportunity to do some lore dumping

READ MORE BECAUSE IT GOT LONG

first of all, not all other raijū are gonna be extinct, but their population numbers have dwindled and most of them now avoid interacting with humans. i think it'd be interesting to have the gang meet other raijū at some point so i want to keep the opportunity open :D since they stop interacting with humans though, they are thought to be extinct and aren't really common knowledge among jay's generation.

both raijū and dragon will share this stigma of being dangerous bloodthirsty creatures, given that wu and garmadon also fight in the serpentine war (oni kinda have the stigma engrained in their identity in the ninjago series already ghsghsh and aren't really present in ninjago to most people's knowledge). dragons get off slightly easier however, being considered noble creatures in other legends, but raijū don't have the same reputation and are easier to hunt than dragons so they suffer a greater impact. this stigma is the cause for cole's fear of dragons in s1!

raijū don't make great taxidermy (their corpses eventually dissolve into lightning; full raijū aren't so much comprised of your typical things like flesh and bone), but i can imagine some being captured as living batteriess, although they only have enough power for about a single household, so it would work on a more individual basis than imperium's dragon energy scheme...

i've been having the idea that libber's dad isn't a wolf for his raijū form, but instead a snow leopard! you see, there's not a lot of mythology on raijū recorded online so i'm trying to fit in actual mythos where i can, and raijū aren't limited to a wolf/dog form, but have many four-legged animal forms recorded. i also like the idea of jay and libber's raijū forms looking similar, despite them not looking that similar for two canids, so related raijū in my au don't often have similar animal forms. libber's parents take the form of a snow leopard (in reference to ice who later takes a guardian role of sorts in place of libber's actual father) and a japanese serow.

furthermore, i mentioned this idea in the tags of one of my past posts but for raijū that are elemental masters of lightning, they often die when their child inherits their element. raijū are creatures made of lightning, but for those born with the element of lightning, they don't develop their own lightning because the element more than compensates for the power they need, so when the element is suddenly removed... yeah. so libber's dad is dead Before the main impact of the serpentine war, but perhaps her mother is killed as a result?

jay doesn't have the issue of dying when he loses his element like the bajillion times they do in the series because he's half human! it does mean that the first few times he loses his powers (including contact with vengestone), it feels Extra bad to him because it's literally part of his life-force taken away (i imagine lloyd has a similar effect but by nature of his element instead of his blood), but the longer he is without his power, the more chance his natural lightning has to develop, so by crystallised he can function pretty well without them :]

#lots of thoughts lots of thoughts #OGH interesting ask im gonna rotate this idea in my brain forever now #long post #inhuman thundersnow au #wyrm rambles #wyrm answers

Formling Morro AU!

Morro was a normal formling child born in the never realm up until ??? and he got chucked into ninjago at the ripe old age of like 6ish. Something something average homeless kid morro shenanigans Wu adopts him.

Morro knows he's a formling, and he does actually remember a good bit of formling culture, especially the ceremony where kids get their animal form. And he's really sad about it. Being in ninjago and not the never realm and completely separated from all the other formlings he's of course sad cause there's no way he'll be able to do the ritual correctly and he'll never get his animal form

Wu knows Morro's sad and sometime close to when the ceremony is supposed to happen (I imagine it happens on the 12th or 13th birthday or so) Wu gets him talking about it and learns everything he can about the ceremony. Come Morro's 13th birthday he wakes up very sad and depressed and comes out of his room to a whole lot of people. Wu of course, Misako, Garmadon (took a break from evil school to help his brother with his basically son), Mystake, and various elemental masters. Before Morro can say anything Wu reminds him that the journey has to be done in silence. Basically Wu got all his friends to come and help him set up what is as close to the ceremony as could get. It's not perfect and pretty inaccurate but Morro is so happy about it (even if he dosent think it'll work). All the friends give Morro various gifts to help him on his journey, Wu does the little face paint thing (hope I'm remembering that correctly I haven't watched s11 in a while), makes Morro promise (silently) to be safe and come home, and sends him off on his journey to get his animal form

And it works! After nearly a week of traveling Morro gets his animal form, which is obviously a bird. It's similar to one of these things cause they look cool as fuck (they're called bearded vultures) but he probably has a less goofy looking face and not red/orange. Very big birb <3

He comes home and Wu is so proud of his son and everything is good forever (until the prophecy ruins morros life) <3

Haven't figured out the rest of the details yet but it's probably just a modified s5 where Morro is birb and then something something Morro redemption something something wholesome father son relationship <3

Shit ABSOLUTELY happens in s11 when the ninja go to the never realm but I haven't figured out the details yet. Definitely gonna be some fun shit though.

Bonus: wu holding his son <3

The lineup 💪 (about half my Ninjago ocs, as of dragons rising) from left to right, Two-Worlds (she/her), Chloe (she/her), Alcyo (he/him), and Elapis (he/they).

a lil more abt them vv

Two-Worlds is a hent (speculative etymological ninjagan term for amphicyonids, aka bear-dogs… google em, they’re pretty cool and not extinct in the Ninjago universe in my mind palace/hc zone) hailing from my friend’s fan-realm called Creatura. She’s not actually supposed to be in a humanoid form, it was artificially induced via magic. Her true form is much larger and much more quadrupedal like other creaturans (who just look like oversized, strangely colored but otherwise normal animals). She prefers this form though because she was raised in Ninjago around exclusively humans and got some body dysmorphia out of it… and as for why she’s a cowboy, it’s because she felt like it. She’s been wandering the merged lands searching for her scattered friends and family.

—

Chloe is a Fangpyre serpentine, and she looks pretty lizard-y because for some reason Fangpyre are more monitor lizard-ish than snake-ish in my head. She’s got special interests in pop culture and history, particularly human pop culture and ways in which human and serpentine history interact. Girlie is like a walking archive. Since the merge she’s been wanting to digitize and transcribe what remains of non-digitized archives and libraries, as the merge has made her all the more aware of how often natural disasters can destroy physical/recorded history. She’s pretty thrilled that Lloyd’s letting her digitize/transcribe scrolls in the monastery.

—

Alcyo is a master of an element i Made The Fuck Up for fun: mist. It’s a running gag that ppl (including him way back when) hear there’s elements of smoke and mist and go “…what’s the difference?” lmao. He’s no fighter, but still wanted help/training to use his element, and that’s how he knew Ash. He’s a geosciences guy like me and has been freaking out over . Well. Everything (lol he inspired that post) since the merge. He’s been getting together with ppl like him from across the merged realms (that is, geosci, eco, etc ppl who are as alarmed as he is) in order to document all the shit going on with the planet now as well as try to plan remediation efforts. I imagine governments have been a bit hesitant to work with a rogue group of jittery sleep deprived scientists but they (Alcyo’s ppl) try. I imagine they are the ones making the new maps and shit like that as well. He just wants to go back to his old day jobs and see Ash again. Sorry buddy, you can only have one of those back lmao

—

Elapis is a hypnobrai who’s been friends with Chloe since childhood. They’re significantly more jaded and pessimistic than she is but they’ve always appreciated her encouragement to pursue music. He probably knows how to play quite a few instruments but he’s usually That Asshole With A Guitar in my brain lmao. He likes learning about other peoples as much as Chloe does though (albeit through music scenes rather than reading) which is why the two became friends. He doesn’t know where she’s gone since the merge and hopes he can see her again one day. He’s found her siblings but not her, and it’s been pretty frustrating. Other than that, they’ve passed the time by jamming with all sorts of people at the Crossroads. Arin and Sora might have seen them around, performing.

#Halcyonia #Ninjago #if anyone has Qs or wants to chat abt them my inbox n DMs are open (I would love to hear about y’all’s guys too pleeeease)#I have way more art of chloe than anyone else here should I post more of her…#my art #Ninjago ocs #oc: Two-Worlds #oc: Chloe #oc: Alcyo #oc: Elapis

You know what, @legogeek33 ? You are so right. Let me ✨capitalize✨ on that angst a bit

Shit, it hurts again

Fic beneath the cut!

(Rating: T — swearing and light blood/gore)

(I understand if you don’t read it bc of that but I put three more pictures at the bottom if you wanna scroll to the bottom and find them)

Garmadon sucked in a breath as the familiar stab of pain came through his sides in earnest.

Shit, it hurt again.

That was to be expected by now. Pain often visited him like an old friend—knocking on the door to his soul, dragging its feet in the genkan, and making itself at home in a way that Garmadon couldn’t pry out of himself anymore. Oftentimes, the best course of action was to let pain move through him, let it stay until it had grown bored of him. It departed much quicker that way.

This pain, though new to him, behaved no differently. Thus, he could weather it. Everything that made it worth it to obtain the Golden Weapons, including the ability to hold them with all of his hands.

All.

Garmadon couldn’t help the chuckle rumbling in his throat at the mere thought of it. All of his hands. Not both. All. Four to be exact. It had taken a considerable amount of work to get this far, traversing ruins and rituals with near-reckless disregard for his own safety. But every step he took through this realm was another step closer to recreating Ninjago in his own image. It was all worth it.

He winced as a deep ache welled up around his ribcage.

Mostly worth it.

Of course, growing an extra set of arms wasn’t without its drawbacks. It was a tiring affair—long and arduous and testing the limits of his patience. He conceded the Devourer’s Venom might have helped him out in this department, seeing as it trained his self-restraint and prepared his body for the inevitable.

Still, he wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone. Not his worst enemies, not even his brother.

Garmadon suppressed a snort.

Gods, Wu. He’d flip his lid if he saw Garmadon now. He could almost hear the lengthy, self-righteous spiel about upholding the promise they made to their father, standing for good, and protecting Ninjago.

Garmadon rolled his eyes. Oh, he’d protect Ninjago alright. He would do it his way, where Wu and that pesky team of elemental masters he’d accrued couldn’t interfere. He had to—for himself, for Misako.

For Lloyd.

Garmadon felt the beginnings of dread form a rock in his throat. His image of Ninjago… wouldn’t necessarily be the ideal place to raise a child. But Garmadon could make it work. He’d find a way to give Lloyd the upbringing and safety he deserved, even if he had to unearth it from the core of Ninjago itself. Lloyd could ask for the sun and moon and stars and Garmadon would build a rocket just to give it to him.

That’s what all of this was for, wasn’t it? The pain and suffering?

Garmadon ground his teeth together as the dull throb of his new arms reminded him of their presence.

Not for the first time, he remembered all the ways the Devourer’s Venom changed him, mentally and physically. And not for the first time, he wondered if that would have any effect on Lloyd. Firstbourne forbid Lloyd inherited any of the venom or propensity to grow sharp teeth and four arms.

No. Garmadon forbid that ever happen—he wouldn’t let it. So help him, he would undertake every ounce of misery just so Lloyd wouldn’t have to.

He’d protect Lloyd, no matter the cost.

———

“Shit, shit, shit,” Garmadon hisses.

The apartment is louder than usual. Bloodier too. He supposes that’s to be expected. Pain is a familiar presence by now, coming and going from his family tree with more ferocity than any wild animal, awaiting its next attack, and raking its claws down every branch it climbs.

It chose Lloyd this time. Of course, it did. Unfortunate though it may be, over the years, Garmadon has learned that pain chooses Lloyd more often than not. It chose him to bear the prophecy of the Green Ninja. It chose him to continue the endless battle. It chose him to be the hero—the one who takes it all in the face of adversity.

This time around, pain manifests itself within Lloyd’s heightened Oni form.

It happened somewhere around 3 AM. At least, Garmadon thinks so.

He and Vinny had finally turned down the bed when the once peaceful night shattered apart, rage and desperation pounding away on their door so hard it made the hinges rattle. His son—Lloyd—appeared in a wave of thunder and lightning, collapsed in front of his apartment, wailing in agony.

To say Garmadon hadn’t a semblance of what to do about it would be an understatement. His experiences ranged from causing pain to this degree to suffering on the receiving end of it. He’s never had someone crumpled at his feet, begging to be saved from it, especially not his son.

No, not Lloyd. Anyone but Lloyd. Let this curse take anyone else, let it take Garmadon a hundredfold, let it-

Lloyd screams, digging his claws into Garmadon’s robes. “Stop! Make it stop!”

Garmadon grits his teeth.

‘Get a grip, you loon,’ he scolds himself. He can’t let panic cloud his judgment now, not when Lloyd needs him.

“Hang in there, son. It’s almost over.” Garmadon tries for a soothing tone, one he hopes resembles those few days they had together when he preferred the title of master more than lord. He’s gentle with his hands—four of them, this time—as he holds his son steady and examines the wounds on his sides.

The wounds in question stretch across Lloyd’s body, starting at his back and circling around the brand-new set of limbs that have burst into existence. The connective tissue flushes a soft pink with the occasional stretch mark, an indicator of newborn skin that requires delicate care. It looks much better than it did about an hour ago, mostly clean and properly cared for. A majority of the pain—growing pain—should be internal now.

But there’s a faint nagging in the back of Garmadon’s mind. Something that can’t be ignored.

‘It’s supposed to be a slow transformation.’

To the best of Garmadon’s recollection, growing an extra pair of arms was a long, drawn-out process, meant to take upwards of a week to complete. For him, the pain had been debilitating. It forced him to stay still so as to avoid exacerbating what felt like lava roiling beneath his skin.

To grow them as quickly as Lloyd no doubt has…

Garmadon has a couple of theories but most of them boil down to this:

Lloyd neglected his Oni side.

Again.

Though Garmadon knows it’s moot to have hoped for, he wishes he could have taught Lloyd something about his Oni side. How to control it, harness it—convert his anger and fear into power to protect the people he loves with it. Learn how to stave off the constant desire for destruction, and keep it from overpowering him in battle.

Instead, due to Lloyd digging his heels in and refusing the slightest bit of help, Garmadon’s left resisting the urge to say “I told you so.”

It wouldn’t be the first time, seeing as Lloyd’s penchant for stubbornness has gotten him into similar situations, the infuriating little twit.

“Be nice,” Vinny’s words echo his memories.

Garmadon lets out a sigh. The past is in the past. At least that particular part of it is. No point in getting hung up on it now, not when he has worse things to be concerned with.

Garmadon keeps his movements slow as he lifts his son into his arms, careful not to jostle the new limbs when he stands.

“It hurts,” Lloyd groans, his voice made hoarse from so much screaming. His chest hitches on a half-formed sob. “I can’t… I don’t want…”

“I know,” Garmadon murmurs. “I know it hurts. Just give it time, they’ll stop hurting eventually.”

He moves through his and Vinny’s shared apartment through pure habit, pulled along by the measured years he’s spent remembering what home is supposed to feel like. His long strides take him to the faded, well-worn couch where he places his son down to rest.

Lloyd’s face contorts into a wince, his eyes squeezing shut as his head drops down onto the cushions. Both sets of arms wrap around his torso and follow the curve of his figure as he settles into the beginnings of a pain-fatigued slumber. Where the darkness of night once was, a sun-kissed sky begins to seep into the room and give light to the dark circles blooming on Lloyd’s face.

A stab of despair goes through Garmadon’s heart at the sight of it. Had it been a few years ago, he might have just commented that Lloyd looked awful. Now he wishes his son never had to experience anything like this. Pain like this… Garmadon would not wish it on anyone.

Not much he can do about it now, he thinks. Except maybe clean the bathroom, since he knows Vinny will have a conniption as soon as he sees it—bloodstained and decimated as it is.

Aw, jeez.

Later.

He can do that later.

Right now, he should be watching over his son. He sinks down onto the other end of the couch without many other thoughts than the ones that Lloyd consumes, all of them racing around at high speeds.

Lloyd arrived here hours ago, battered and bloodied and bruised, sick with grief and fear. Garmadon can’t help but wonder why. Of all the places his son could have gone, he had come here. Anywhere else—the monastery, his mother’s house—would have been safer and yet he still chose to seek Garmadon out. Had that been intentional? Had Lloyd meant to go in search of Garmadon? Or had his perception of the world been so clouded by pain that he ended up here by accident?

The best of Garmadon knows that it’s likely the latter. That Lloyd would rightfully only come to him when afflicted by a shattered mind and broken body. But deep inside, flowering where no one except he can see, Garmadon wants for it to be the former. He wants to entertain that maybe, just maybe, he had gotten through to his son.

Maybe Garmadon had finally proved himself worthy of a connection with him.

Maybe his desire and attempts to mend things had finally paid off.

Maybe, in the deepest parts of his resentment and anger, Lloyd had uncovered a shred of faith in his father.

Garmadon can only hope that might be the case.

Oberon Starlu

(He/She)

6'1'

The Elemental Master of Anima. He is a part Oni as well.

Their abilities include talking to animals and staking on abilities and features of animals, though not fully, as that would come under form.

She was first introduced in the tournament of elements, and stays close to the ninja after, often helping keep the monastery running while their away.

Before the tournament they were close to Bolobo, living in the same farming village. During TOE they get close to Griffin, Neuro and Shade. They’re Very close to Griffin. :)

His Oni blood is very diluted, the only reminder of this is their horn(s).

This image is of their outfit during TOE

[This is a redesign of my first ever Ninjago OC, though I don't have any of the original art of them, so here's a vauge recreation of the original design in my current style:

So yea, theyve changed a lot-]

Lego ninjago has such a cool world . It's one of those rare things I hope they do a live action remake with because I think the lego element, while the whole gimmick of the show to some extent and is meant to sell toys, held the show back in some respects. The limited action and fighting they could do is one example.

I would love to see it either animated in another form or in live action. Honestly they could do it word for word and I'd be happy.

ooooooh tell me about spirits in ninjago 👀

OKAY! this is gonna be a bit of a doozy so buckle up!

So, first we have the Spirit Coves, said to be where dragons go to reach adolescence and whatnot right? And we know that to be in the First Realm according to "Green and Gold", right?

Well, in my funky dunky lore, the Spirit Coves expands to ALL the realms, and is in all the realms, and also none of the realms, only accessible to spirits and those who wield elements of Creation (such as dragons). The only way a normal person could slip into the Spirit Coves is just that, a slip-up, a mishap, a rift opening up and spitting them into the Spirit Coves.

The Spirit Coves are infamous for their rifts, after all, those same rifts leaked high concentrations of spirit energy into the Never Realm, bonding with animals, and turning them into spirits, which then found their way to humanity, creating Formlings.

Spirits CAN have physical forms, but more often than not they sever themselves from those forms, so as to strengthen their connection to the Spirit Coves. Wojira is an example of a spirit who chose her physical form as her permanent form, thus breaking herself from spiritual ties, making her susceptible to corruption and whatnot. It's FAR harder to corrupt a non-physical spirit, as their spiritual energies are very, very clean.

Ninjago AU - The Writings on The Wall

|| Incorrect Quotes || Character Profiles || Elements ||

Still working on it so y'all get my notes :3

Premise and everything under the cut.

Feel free to ask any questions about it.

Premise.

The Merge happened at least 100 years ago, back when Garmadon and Wu were still relatively young.

Garmadon left the monastery after some difficult time with his father, only writing every now and then to let everyone know he was still alive. Wu stayed at the monastery.

Garmadon is on a quest to find the Dragon Cores, Wu too tho he's still mainly stationed at the Monastery, they don't know what the other is doing. Here is where the merge happens.

Wu gets visions and scrolls about something similar happening 100 yrs later so he's on the move to find them again, he's also training a Ninja team to protect the Crossroads.

Garmadon has been traveling around still in search of the dragon cores, but on the trip he ends up adopting a bunch of kids he decides to raise (he also has Lloyd) so he moves to the Crossroad too.

And chaos ensues.

The Groups and Ages

Garmadon Kids aka Pandemonium Kids

Skylor Chen - 16yrs old

Kai Jiang Smith - 15yrs old

Morro Wojira - 14yrs old

Reaper - Reapers are other type of curses, reapers can become intangible for a period of type, they're like ghosts, they're always cold to the touch and an uneasy aura always surround them, they're passively sucking the life energy of those around them.

Vampire -

Crystallized -

Wu- 1/2 Oni and 1/2 Dragon - More Dragon Looking (Humanoid Anthro style)

Morro & Euphrasia are both wind elementals [Morro has an easy control over Sea and Land breezes, Euphrasia has a better control of Mountains breezes]

Extra Notes

Dragon hunters have a noticeable hold on the Black Market, Imperium is one of their most regular clients (Beatrix and Ras specifically)

Imperium is hunting both dragons and elementals.

The Crossroads is situated around Ninjago city, with Ninjago city serving as the "heart" of the whole place, you could explore the whole crossroads if you just drive in circles. (Will take you some time tho)

OC Lore Time!

Decided to do a lore post talking about Etsu one of my Ninjago oc's.

Note: I would be using somes pics of mine that I already showed for this post

Etsu Demers Smith Jiang is the elemental master of Chaos, the youngest member of the team also making him the youngest elemental master. He is the son of two unknown people that sadly passed away when their house went on fire leaving a small Etsu alone to defend himself.

Etsu was found by the ninjas before the start of season 12 aka the events of Prime Empire, he acted like a feral animal walking in four legs and acting like an animal. They caught him stealing in a village but neither of the villagers wanted him so they took him in until they decided to do with him.

Also Estu was born with all of those markings, also surprisingly the little boy remembered his name.

While in season twelve to season 16 he is a normal ten year old kid who is learning to be a ninja

Etsu couldn't even properly talk at all he growled like a wild animal. It took some time for the ninjas to help Etsu get used to a normal life, they teached him how to walk in two legs and speak properly

Some other facts is that Etsu liked to eat raw fishes, he has sharp and pointy teeth. Also he found a hobby in drawing, he mostly like to draw Kai a lot and he was clingy to him causing comfusion to the red ninja

Now onto some objects

Etsu has scythe during the events of Crystalized, he was gifted a cute dragon plushie by Lloyd that he called "Orange" due to its colors

The ninjas were surprised when Etsu shapeshifted into an Oni because how it was possible the kid they found in the forest turned out to be an Oni, but later Master Wu realized that possibly the parents of Etsu where a human and an Oni.

In his Oni form Etsu has black sclera, his fingers turn into sharp claws, has an oni tail and his horns are quite small and not pointy but in dragons rising his horns are much taller and very pointy.

Now into his powers.

The powers of Etsu are Chaos which are similar to the elemental power of Destruction, the ninjas had a difficult time to wrap their heads that this innocent kid could cause so much chaos. His powers can cause flames that destroy stuff but also brings a lot of chaos altering what is surrounding him.

If he touches an elemental master with his powers well the eyes of the elemental master will shine in purple while the element turns into a purple color becoming more destructive.

You have seen I have drawn Etsu with Kai a lot than with most of the ninjas the reason is because in my Au he is the adoptive son of Kai. So take this shitty family tree i made.

And last for this oc lore sharing once again the look of Etsu in Dragons Rising.
