Day 12: Samouraï/Samurai

I didn't really know what to do for this one, so at first i decided to draw Grimfax..but then i put him in the backround and my love for Zane resurfaced again- help 😭

Anyway, assuming Grimfax has been king/emperor for very long, i feel like he would be able to easily spot manipulation and or trickery, which is exactly whats going on between Zane and Vex.

I suppose that explains Grimfax trusting Lloyd, unless that was just him being desperate to free his rightful land from the eternal winter that had plagued the Never-Realm for decades.

Anyway, Prompt List:

Thinking of how when Lloyd finds out Akita is actually a person and not just an unusual wolf, he gets really hostile and accuses her of being a liar, being untrustworthy. Because she basically 'tricked' him by pretending to be a regular animal through her Formling powers. And then we have Vex, who himself is a Formling but feels disconnected due to lacking the powers that set them apart from regular humans. And he demonizes them to Grimfax and Zane as liars and deceivers. They 'hide' their true identity/intent behind innocuous animal forms. Vex doesn't have a form himself, but he's actually the liar he makes out ALL Formlings to be. So it's like he compensates for a lack of animal form to deceive others with by lying more directly; His persona as a trustworthy advisor is his own 'form' to hide and blend in with, and to gain Zane's trust, just as Akita gained Lloyd's trust.

Ninjago card game except it's literally just everything canon and non-canon and is entirely nonsense

"Okay I equip Grimfax with the Obsidian Scythe so I end my turn." "ALRIGHT I PLAY ROBOT MANAGER FROM WU'S TEAS WITH PYTHOR'S NAGINATA ON THE ROCKET BOARD FROM CHENS ISLAND!" "YOU FOOL! THANKS TO MY YINYANG DRAGON SUPPORT CARD I AM IMMUNE TO ALL NEUTRAL CHARACTERS! YOUR PATHETIC ANDROID DOES NOTHING AGAINST ME."

[icy-watch]

Well, everyone is separated.

Which is Not Good.

The ninja still aren't in the castle (rude), Kataru and Grimfax are dead (probably), Boreal is dead (RIP), Akita is stuck in the middle of a fight her her hand frozen in a block of ice, and Lloyd still hasn't freed Zane.

There's a lot that still has to happen in 11 minutes of the final episode. So, that's gonna be fun.

I'm thinking the other ninja are going to make it to the throne room to see Lloyd and Zane fighting, and they're going to attack. Lloyd's going to have to rein them in by telling them who the Ice Emperor is.

There's also Vex that they'll have to deal with. If there was a window closer to the ground in the throne room, defenestration time. But there's not, so dungeon. That or Zane puts him on ice indefinitely.

1 more episode left for today and of the season!

[grumpy-zane]

(( Watched all of Ice chapter for the world building. got a little derailed, but kept to it for the most part. Here are my observations below:

Episode 1

Heavily mountainous, and snowy. High elevation, yet no icebergs.

layer of clouds, presumably blocking out the sun?

HEXAGONAL FORMATIONS, meaning Basaltic. AKA: highly volcanic.

Trees have a root structure akin to mangrove trees. Perhaps it was marshland beneath the freeze?

Wolves are dark. The marshland must also be pretty dark, they have not adapted their coat to match the camo of the snow

The inhabitants have blue garb with Red highlights. Foliage or perhaps shell-based dyes? Trade?

Live in a place surrounded by mountains, with a large pond inside. Caldera?? very large caldera?

Dark ice is sort of like mirrors.

Episode 2

Pass from the lake village to the castle, called 'mala-wojira', or Wojira's Wrath. Culturally believed that she is the one that causes avalanches. The place is highly reactive to noise/motion.

The sun is not fully blocked, at least when it is setting. Therefore, the clouds are only overhead but not too far wide.

Clouds not present at night.

people made of ice fully, some just mind controlled. ice controlled. very funny.

Episode 3

'There can be no ice without water' WRONG, Solid Nitrogen GO

I love Nya's temper. hwaaaa. She and Kai both hate being dead weight

Not all inhabitants of the realm are formlings, in fact there's some worry that they are cursed, or at least the formling village vex came from. -The magic ice can spread from those who are under its spell to non-cursed

Episode 4

UV being a fan of Lou is very funny, yet I am sure she is not the only one.

Fugi-dove's first appearance.

Kais eyes are more yellow than Nyas. Coles eyes are grey or black? hard to tell. Jays are blue ofc.

Pixal is OP.

Episode 5

Giant bird is part of the normal fauna of the realm.

Zane making note that he feels as though he has been there for quite some time, though this may allude that he was not the emperor for very long. However, this contradicts the idea that the village lady planted, in that its been cold for a stupid long time. (Decades)

Episode 6

Cole your anxiety dreams… This seems to be something he has normally. :(

THATS A LARGE TOOTHBRUSH. Jay by far must have the best dental hygiene.

Nyas struggle answers an interesting question, in that understanding similar elements is a thing that's inherently hard.

It is known in the village that travelers occasional 'stop by' and get leaves from the travelers tree to leave. This may be why they aren't so inquisitive of their sudden appearance.

It takes the wind out of Cole to do some terraforming.

Episode 7

CRAIG. ohh my god the flowers on the burial mounds probably are where the blue dye comes from.

There's small little crab apple looking things in the realm. They smell bad.

The Ice samurai have hunted the Craig species for sport. The Craig Species is an herbivorous fauna.

Travelers Tree. it creates its own heat, as well as being in a place far above the cloud line. needs Regular sunlight. Flowers are buttercup shaped, and the apple-like fruits come from it. Presumably, the tree also smells bad. I don't know why the tea is made of flower pedals, you tell me. Floral Tea I suppose.

Episode 8

'Legion of Grimfax', named after the captain. the legions are divided by generals. Assumedly, there's only one?

There are still no glaciers. There's a lot of frozen bodies of water. I have to assume that it rains a lot, or did rain a lot at some point, which also explains the marshland further down.

The shape of the rock construct is very similar to the shape of the Guardian in the Birchwood forest. Also made of Basalt.

Episode 9

Apples are native to the realm.

Chickens, bears, falcons, wolves, elk, Rabbits. (Formling types)

Vex' failure to find his animal form was 'a long time ago'. Perhaps Zane really wasn't the ice emperor for too long, due to Vex just being kind of the only icified guy. If the natural state of winter in the never realm allows for greenery, then it must not be a super cold winter.

Formling ritual includes a travel in silence, as well as a chase to ones own animal. It's granted to the formling once said formling catches their animal. Perhaps Vex did not catch his, it probably didnt show up for he is 'not worthy'. The Ritual also seems to only occur in the winter(?)

There is a type of purple berry as flora as well, in the form of a bush.

Boreas is the one who doomed the formlings. It is good to note that the ice does not kill, but freezes.

Zane and Vex did not have an army until recently it seems. He and Vex brough boreas, but no others.

Episode 10

There are a lot of large ribcages. What large fauna have been killed? large quadropeds of some sort?

The castle probably existed long before Zane inhabited it. I wonder who made it in the past?

Episode 11

The Realm tea opening to Chima Beavers. Mystake made the travelers tea recipe.

Very interesting that tea leaves open to any realm. First Realm, Chima, Underworld, Cloud Kingdom, Departed Realm.

THE DEPARTED REALM!!! Its Green and dark, perhaps the preeminent's existence there has warped parts of it.

Speaking of the Preeminent, she appears to have the whole realm inside of her. When she died, she appeared in the departed realm, though is still the embodiment of the cursed realm. Is she smaller than she was before?

Episode 12

The castle is the king of the realm(?) the samurai are clad in Red.

Zane seems surprisingly level headed when using the scroll. However, he seemed to struggle slightly to put it down.

Zanes 'I feel like I have been here a long time' does not make sense given how quickly he just spawned in the realm, but perhaps he is temporally displaced and is feeling the effects of said displacement.

Episode 13

Zane seems rather adamant on not killing. Its strange that his ice isn't killing.

Corrupted Ice behaves like Vengestone. Perhaps Vengestone is Corrupted Earth.

The Ice samurai are not fully 'evil', or rather fully mind controlled. At least, not the general.

Episode 14

'Lava Zombies' the name of an old arcade game made my Milton Dyer

Craig is 8 ft tall.

Zane spends a lot of time sleeping. perhaps constantly using his element is doing a number on him.

Episode 15

the berries are more potent than the tea leaves.

Ninjago au where Wu didn’t age quickly so the entirety of the wildbrain era is that but the ninja are also trying to raise a baby whilst saving the world.

So s9 consists of Cole carrying around a baby, then Faith bonding with the baby (and learning the innocence of youth uncorrupted by the savage cruel world), to the iron baron kidnapping baby Wu (for plot convenience Baby Wu has some sort of mental link with Firstbourne and points in the right direction) to find the armour, and when they get there, the dragon kills iron baron and saves the baby.

S11 goes on to show the ninja struggling to parent Wu and really miss having the time to go on missions, so when they hear that a pyramid has been discovered, they decide to go on an adventure and they bring Wu along because Pixal is actually horrible awful awful at babysitting (she doesn’t have the patience and gets grossed out when trying to feed and change wu). Whilst yes, bringing a baby on a dangerous mission isn’t exactly sensible, in all fairness baby Wu is kinda resilient and semi indestructible bc he’s a literal demigod. Aspheera doesn’t even realise the baby is wu until she finds out after she gets to Ninjago.

Then aspheera manages to blast Zane to the never realm with baby Wu in his hands and somehow the Never Realm gets taken over by the Ice Emperor… and his baby son. The Ice Emperor but he’s a dad. Yeah. Vex makes a pretty awful babysitter, Grimfax is an okay babysitter and what if Vex decided to just yet Wu into the dungeons and tell the Ice Emp that Wu was lost in war which makes him really angry at the rest of the realm. And actually Wu is being looked after by Kataru, and Lloyd goes to Zane and shows him that Wu is fine and then Zane immediately remembers everything. (Also for the sake of au, this means Zane is only ice emperor for like at least a few weeks).

They just take Wu into prime empire and Wu gets to play one of those kids colouring games. Okino also gets to know the joys of children.

The ninja take Wu to shintaro, and when the others get captured, Vania briefly gets to babysit Wu, before Cole Vania and Wu get trapdoored by Vangelis. Cole kinda just has Wu in one of those baby backpacks.

The Island is just an example of why Misako should not ever babysit children (actually tbf she just takes Wu on her adventure, which is what the ninja have been doing). Maybe Misako said she was just going to take Wu to a jungle gym, but they misheard her and she actually said jungle with a guy named Jim. Fun.

And Seabound, Wu finally stays home and is looked after by Cole, Kai, Kai’s dad and Misako (their level of parenting from best to worst are in that order specifically).

And (CRYSTALISED PART 1 SPOILERS) Cole actually stays him so he specifically can look after Wu. Life is hard when you’re a single parent because the rest of your found family left. Actually Kai visits frequently bc he has maternal instincts (although being at the monastery is a little painful for him). Wu is sad because Zane no longer sings songs at him, Pixal almost never leaves the basement where she works on vehicles and stuff, and he misses Lloyd and Jay and Nya.

#Zane would totally sing songs for Wu #Zane sings #ninjago #lego ninjago #Ninjago wu #Ninjago au #Ninjago baby Wu au

[thefanciestborrower]

Haha lol Ice Emperor goes Brrrr part 9

[Next time's arc finale, baybey]

Zane.

The name rolled about in his head as he watched Lloyd push a pawn two spaces across an ice chessboard. Julien’s bishop made its way to the center of the board. “What was he like?”

“Huh?” The boy’s spirits were higher now that he knew his brothers were coming, and he looked up at Julien with wide, shining green eyes. The same shade as meadow grass, a concept that danced between his fingers in mystifying circles.

“Your brother, I mean. Zane.” The name tasted odd on his tongue. Like winter winds and flaking wood. “You have told me some, but I imagine there’s more.”

Lloyd moved a knight to intercept his bishop, but couldn’t quite jump it. “Well, he’s kind.” A pause to watch Julien move a rook. “And he’s loyal, and he’s kinda weird.”

“Weird?” Lloyd took one of his pawns.

“Yeah, like Kai told me a story once that he followed this bird for like ever and they had to beat up these tree monsters.” The white pawn was lined up with two of its fellows on Lloyd’s side of the board. One had a chip in the side of its “head”.

I know who I am.

“That is strange.” Julien took Lloyd’s knight, placing it along the row of other such dynamic pieces that Lloyd had lost over the course of their game. Lloyd took another pawn with a bishop.

“A little bit, but we love him for it. He’s got a good… sense of things. Sometimes he knows what happens before it actually comes to pass.” A careful dance of shuffling pawns. Like the movements of his army. “He’s funny, though. He’s got a bunch of really old songs loaded into his stuff.”

Hello my ragtime gal—

“I think the big thing was his falcon, though. It went everywhere with him, but the Great Devourer got it… I think. It stopped showing up after that. I don’t think he named it, though.” Lloyd took the bishop he’d set up as an executioner. “Just called it ‘my friend’ most of the time.”

Its eyes gleamed blue as it took off, forest-sized emerald snake in tow as it dove and bobbed through the rocky plateau that made up the bulk of the desert. When it called, it was a harsh sort of shriek, but oh-so familiar, even as heat—hot. Too hot. Unfamiliar—bore down against his back. A hand made of metal but wreathed in flesh raised as if by some force of will, he could stop it.

Lloyd took Julien’s king with a pawn.

Like a blizzard, his mind erupted into theory and thought, each too quick for him to catch. Frozen claws dug into his spine as he rose, barely remembering to extend a hand for Lloyd as he swiveled, turning to the directions of the dungeons as if possessed. He thought Lloyd was speaking to him, but the squall of his mind was drowned any but the sound of his own systems in his ears.

He didn’t remember, even, which path he took to the dungeons, just that he stood in front of a black ice cell. Inside, beyond the bars, a broad-set young man stared at him. Purplish circles ringed his eyes, and exhaustion set heavy upon his frame. “I will not bow to you.” His voice was a growl low in his chest.

“I know.” The formling cocked his head, bear cap sliding just slightly on his hair. “Usurpers bow to no one. I expect nothing from you but an answer.”

“You would be a fool to think I would tell you anything.” The bear boy bared his teeth. Lloyd shrunk back against The Emperor’s chest.

“I want only to know the identity of the emperor before me. Before my original reign.”

His scoff echoed like phantoms in his cell. “Mad emperor, you are,” he snapped. “This is your first—your only reign. We lived in peace before you.” A hardened elbow of bread thunked against the bars of the cell. “You are the usurper. The emperor before you was Grimfax—a kind man. Far kinder than you.”

The Emperor knew of Grimfax. He was even a high-ranking soldier in The Emperor’s army. He remembered being told that Grimfax was the man who took his throne. Took his life. Took what he felt should occupy the echoing that filled his chest at times. “How would I know the truth of your words, assassin?”

The bear boy scowled. Julien thought he couldn’t look older than ten winters ahead of Lloyd. “What good would wasting my voice on a lie be? You and your men do little more than ignore me, anyway. May as well say something of worth.”

When he stared down at the prisoner for too long, Lloyd spoke up. “Julien?” The prisoner raised his head.

“I am fine.” He refocused on the formling. “Your testimony will be considered. For now…” his gaze slid around the dungeons, bare ice rising in sloping walls. Lloyd’s breath fogged just slightly when he breathed. “Let’s go get your brothers.”

Gathering Vex, a few essentials, and Boreal was a simple task. Boreal could cover entire forests in mere hours, so he had been resting at the stables already returned from his previous assignment. The Emperor, himself, was always primed to go on… adventures, a habit he couldn’t seem to break, so all that remained was allowing Vex to pack some items, and…

“Absolutely not.” Julien’s eyes landed on the slightly thicker winter coat Lloyd had acquired from… somewhere, and though swathed in it he looked something like a green marshmallow—the concept of the item vanished from his mind as soon as he thought of it—he was still, distinctly, miniscule. Miniscule creatures did not belong in the Never-Realm. He would freeze to death if he stepped outside.

Lloyd’s puffed cheeks did little for the “small fluffy thing” look. “We’re going for my brothers,” came the petulant whine. “I should be there! What if they attack you?”

“They would be fools.” Julien tapped his staff against the ground, briefly scanning for Vex before returning his attention back to Lloyd.

“What—what if I rode in your stomach—it’s insulated, right? I’d be fine.” Little mittened hands smacked at his faceplate. “I’ll be quiet, I promise—I just—it’s been so long since I’ve seen them.” Lloyd raised his eyebrows and tucked his hands as he stared at the side of Julien’s head.

He knew exactly what Lloyd was doing.

And he didn’t like that it was working.

When he caught footsteps returning from the vague direction Vex vanished off to, Julien sighed, looping a couple of titanium fingers around Lloyd’s waist as he raised the boy to his face. “Fine.” And that was the only warning he gave before shoving the child up to his shoulders into Julien’s mouth. He was a mouthful—Lloyd’s jacket added some bulk to a frame that usually had none, and it was somewhat of a challenge to even get the boy to the back of his mouth.

When the footsteps grew louder, Julien simply threw back his head and swallowed, catching Lloyd by the arm before the rest of him followed. The child—mostly his jacket—displaced some of Julien’s other functional components as he passed, a soft sort of ache setting into his wake.

Julien picked a piece of collar-fluff from his tongue just as Vex rounded the corner, and just as Lloyd dropped lightly into his stomach. Both of them, of course, quickly made themselves comfortable, with Vex hoisting himself upon Boreal’s back to rest against one of the dragon’s dorsal spines, and Lloyd finding his usual spot against the stomach wall nearest to Julien’s nervous column.

A quick huff through his mask, and The Emperor had vaulted up to rest upon his dragon’s shoulders. Vex called out to the guards manning the stable doors, and with a lurch and a jump that sent Lloyd sliding, all four of them were in the air, wheeling through snow-flecked skies toward the reports of colorful teenagers.

Hey, mind posting more about your Kai ice emperor (Red Shogun?) AU? I'm really interested and might actually write something like it.

It's called the Burning Shogun AU and I'm actually still working on some art for it rn! A comic and a normal illustration. I can't guarantee how long till those are finished and posted though, especially because college is about to start up again.

Here are some fun bits from it though in the meantime;

Kai basically introduces the concepts of snakes to the Never Realm, because of his Slither Pit tattoo and because snakes wouldn't be able to survive in the Never Realm because of how intensely cold it is.

The Shogun's dragon is a lot more serpent-like and similar to the traditional idea of a Chinese Dragon. It's name is Ardor!

Kai is given a lot of nicknames by the Never Realm people, since he doesn't remember his own. Fireward, Fire-maker like in the show, Brandr, Brother (potential variations would be the Finnish "Veli" or the Old Norse "Bróðir"pronounced either as "brower" or "brow-vir" from what i can find), Wanderer/Stigandr (old Norse for "'stepping, treading one" aka wanderer), Odd (both for our understanding of the word and the old Norse meaning of "edge of a blade"), and Magne.

The children of the Never Realm nickname Zane and Nya 'fire fighters' in an attempt to give them a badass nickname but because of the preexisting knowledge of what that word means, it's actually really funny to Cole and Jay.

Based on how similar a lot of the names used for Never Realm characters (except for the Formlings) have a lot of similarities with North Germanic names (Sorla- Sørli, Grimfax - Grimfrid) a lot of the nicknames are drawn from there and Old Norse.

Here's some really early, initial concept for Kai as the Burning Shogun (under the cut due to drawings of an intensely burnt arm)

(Also if you do write fic based/inspired by this idea, please send me the link, that'd be so cool; I would probably implode)
