My ninjago moment was when Lloyd turned older with the tomorrow’s tea and sacrificed his childhood in order to save ninjago. It reminded me of the way I had to sacrifice my childhood, not to save the world, but to help my broken family. Sometimes life isn’t fair, and that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, but that doesn’t mean all hope is lost and will stay broken forever. I can continue to pick myself up the way Lloyd picked himself up to defeat the Overlord and other future villains and will continue to do it. I did not have the best childhood but I am slowly healing my inner child when I am watching Ninjago and I hope Lloyd gets to as well.

Let me think 🤔 I think a big moment from the show for me would be Morro's death at the end of S5 Possession.

Possession was coming out on TV and I kept up with it every day. However I'd miss the rest of the season since I was going on holidays with my family. So me being me, I stayed up late and watched the whole season through on YouTube, In bad quality, When I was dead tired, the day before we left. So I remembered what happened but was too tired to process any emotions 😅

However while I was away, I found myself thinking about the season and thinking about Morro. I realized I related to his struggle.

No matter how hard he trys he will never be the green ninja. No matter how hard I try I'll never be great at maths (or 2D animation, I later found out) because of my Dyscalculia. Morro thought he would be useless unless he could be the green ninja but I realized he was still great at something else, being an awesome master of wind, he just didn't realize it. I may not be good at many things but I am great at drawing and art (and I later found out illustration)!

Some time after holidays, I rewatched possession (properly this time). Morro's death came on and I burst into tears. I realized I would miss this character so much. I realized I'd be drawing him for years to come. I realized he'd inspired me and I realized he helped me learn something.

Life may not turn out the way you think, but that's ok. Today I still think of Morro fondly and draw him from time to time. Am surprised that Ninjago helped me like this but am so so glad it did😌

HmmI fell in love with Ninjago about two years ago, alongside my younger brother and sister. It was one of the few shows that managed to capture my attention at the time, and I think that it’s safe to say that I was obsessed. Despite this, I think I’m one of the few people that never managed to form a strong connection with any of the original ninja (or even Nya). I thought that they were okay, but that’s all they were—okay. Looking back, this might be why I immediately attached (Pt. 1– 💚💚💚)

I combined this response for everyone’s convenience. Thanks so much anon!

Fire Temple

Me and my sister were really into the Lego movies. So, when the Ninjago Movie was released, we had to watch it. It was kinda corny, but I loved the concept and the characters were really fun. I did some digging online hoping to find a fanbase, but ended up finding out there was a whole show (with like, 7 whole seasons at the time XD) to go along with it. I started watching, and I became invested right away.

This show has had many moments that hit me hard, but there was one that hit me very early on which I think sold my passion and dedication for the show and led me to continue down the daunting path of (now) 15 seasons XD. And that moment was the Fire Temple.

Right off the bat, I loved Kai. Stubborn, brave, and sticking out a little bit from the others, he wasn’t your typical “valiant hero” and was almost plain selfish at times. But really, he was just a good person with misguided intentions, and instantly became a fave.

Then enter the scene Lloyd. Coming from the ninjago movie, obviously I was a big fan of Lloyd- but he was a lot different here. Instead of the reserved yet heroic and loyal person I remembered, here was some bratty little kid who seemed to hate everyone.

But Kai and Lloyd…. they changed each other. In subtle ways at first, often just being flat out annoyed with each other, but eventually all these suppressed emotions came to a head at the Fire Temple. And this is where they both, especially Kai, really got a chance to shine.

Kai had wanted this more than anything, but he gave up all these dreams for a bratty 9 year old. Why? Because he never really wanted to be the green ninja, at least not for the game. He wanted to prove his worth and protect the people he cared about. And Lloyd- Lloyd was so vulnerable in this moment. No longer was he a disagreeable, stubborn child, but one who was scared and had no idea what they were doing.

And the two of them found each other in this moment. An unlikely paring, but one of the best friendships the show came up with because ever since then they’ve just been helping each other grow. They better each other, and they fall down together, and honestly, none of these characters would be the same today if Kai and Lloyd had never met.

I absolutely love seeing strong, platonic relationships in the media, but this one was especially powerful. It shows the true extent of love, how people who truly care about each other would give up everything just to help the other. Plus the fact that Kai and Lloyd barely knew each other in this scene… it’s just a perfect rendition of what love can be.

To Fight Without Fighting

My younger brother was considered the main demographic in 2010 when the pilots aired. I watched the show with him and my other siblings until after season 5, and I quit. I was a young teenager at the time and convinced myself that I was too old for it. This past May, I was reintroduced to it and have fully caught up at this point.

But this scene from the episode The Art of the Silent Fist has always stuck with me, from when I first watched it the night it aired, and even now even though I'm 8 years older now.

This scene is a humorous one that really demonstrates the kind of interactions between Lloyd and Garmadon now that he's good again, but even though it's really just a compilation of Lloyd getting absolutely owned by his father, the message behind it is so poignant.

Sometimes we can't kick, bite, punch or slap or enemies. Sometimes we can't yell or scream at them in order for them to listen. Sometimes they are stubborn and refuse to listen. But we don't have to fight them. We have to let them fight themselves, tire themselves. Sometimes we just have to trust in the balance.

This scene was one I would go back and watch and my siblings and I would laugh at how funny it was. Now I go back and revel in the message it gives.

Sometimes we can't fight them. But we can resist them. And that makes us so much stronger.

Samurai X 2.0

Me? Talking about Pixal? Shocker, I know.

I had been pretty passively interacting with fandom for awhile, when seasons 8/9 came out, but it was this scene that eventually drew me to actually put myself out there- specifically fanfiction wise. My first every piece of fanfic was, of course, pixane, and though it wasn't this scene, in fact I've never actually done a rewrite of this scene specifically (I think I'm worried I'll screw it up) it was the fallout from this reveal that spurred not only my first one shot, but my first, and still probably my best fic, Shades of Purple, and the majority of my work since then. I probably would not be here on Tumblr or in fandom in general if it weren't for this scene. And I wouldn't have found this great community- like honestly this is a really great fandom. I am forever grateful for all of you and the positive environment you foster. A million thanks! Here's to ten more years!

Also, Pixal season when?
