Watched the third episode of LEGO DreamZzz: LOVE IT!

I discovered why I don't pace myself with shows anymore... because I get crazy with headcanons 😅 I got an idea for a fanfiction, What ifs with Mateo turning full nightmare from that one time, and the ships... I'M ALREADY AT SHIPS AND IT'S BEEN ONLY THREE EPISODES 😵😵

Why am I surprised I worked with less before

YOU GOT ME ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS (Logan and Mateo), FRIENDS-TO-LOVERS (Cooper and Mateo) AND LONE WOLF X AWKWARD KID (Zoey and Mateo) ON A SILVER PLATTER I'M SORRY OKAY?? 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

Anyway no one cares about my delusions about ships, so back to the episode!

DREAM CHASED

I said it before, I'll say it again: THE DESIGNS ARE EXCEPTIONAL! Like look at this Nightmare King and his henchman! Love it, absolutely love it! 😍

Another troupe I like? TRIALS

It's silly and sometimes unnecessary, but there's something I love about seeing how the characters confront a challenge

Okay Logan is still a bit annoying, but it seems like he's mostly trying to look tough and he's not bothering Mateo directly... for now 😅 I feel like he should have another change of heart moment though

All hail Vincent for voicing another character I'm loving ❤️❤️❤️

THAT SAND FORGE MANIFESTING THROUGH LIKE LOOK AT THAT 😍 It is sand so yeah that's coherent, I like how simple yet intriguing it is

So the lil blondie is obviously the big important man right?

Ooohhh, so Cooper is into cars? Interesting!

Awww Mateo looks so insecure about the whole situation, come on baby you can do it! YOU GOT THIS! (aaaand I've now officially adopted Mateo as my child, it was inevitable from the beginning)

I FLIPPING LOVE IZZIE!!! Look at that anime girl go 😂😂 Also her theme song? Kinda banging honestly

Why was Mateo looking at the ladder?

Aaaaaand they all failed. Eh, next time

Is the burrito stand the home of the local wise person? This lady is the new Wu?

Also I just noticed that Mr. Oz got Brian Drummond as VA, just like Merlok in Nexo Knights. He's got a knack for voicing the master of the situation 😂

POOR MATEO MY GOSH 😭 Glad to see Logan wasn't joining that other guy insulting him, but wow are there many other kids talking like that to him? Is that why he's not very confident? ANOTHER FANFICTION IDEA DANG IT

Coop seems to get along with others, maybe he never had these problems

Did Mateo and Cooper fight before because Coop found Logan a cool and kinda good guy, but Mateo didn't like him (no blame given the mocking) and thought he was just like the other kids making fun of him?

... ANGST TRAIN EVERYONE I WILL WRITE FICS ONCE I'M FINISHED WITH THIS

What was Mat writing on that towel?

Heeeeyyy, look at Logan solving the riddle! I... would have never bet on him being the one to get it, I thought for sure Mateo was gonna be the one 😅

Yep the blondie is the boss

WHOA WHAT'S WITH THAT VOICE MAN 🤯😂😂😂 I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING

Ah, wow, so if they don't pass they go back being random people? How can you blame them for being reluctant, Mateo literally made a new friend thanks to this world and managed to reconcile with Cooper!

AND NO I WOULD NEVER RISK Z-BLOB EITHER THE SLIME SHALL NOT DIE 😭😭😭 (yes I adopted him too but to be honest Mateo and Z-Blob are a package deal)

Dang poor Nova girl, so many nightmares she's dissociating 😥 Yeah the effects of lack of sleep are no joke

Nuuuuu the drawing of Z-Blob falling, Mat why are you doing this to me 😭

...

Okay this one hits close to home 😅😅

I was the introverted one during school, I barely talked to my classmates, and I struggled making new friends. Most of all, I had ideas I thought were good but didn't express them out of fear. Then, if someone had the same idea, I felt regret

I'm not sure if this was supposed to be this impactful, but it is to me, and especially in middle and high school your insecurities are put to the test

I'm much more confident now, and I hope to see Mateo growing to do the same 😊

... OKAY TOO SERIOUS BACK TO SILLY 🤪

THANK YOU IZZIE FOR CAUSING MAYHAM AND GOING ON A DANGEROUS ADVENTURE TO SAVE YOUR FRIEND 💪

I don't know why but Mateo going "wasn't that a ship?" got me cracking 😂

MATEO IDEA TIME 🤩🤩

They see me rollin, they hatin~

Awww look at Cooper being impressed by his buddy! And honestly he's kinda right, they got on a rescue mission twice so far and they're two for two! Look at them go!

Yeeee, confidence boost!!!!

OMG STOP COOP CALLED HIM TEO, NICKNAMES ARE A HUGE WEAKNESS OF MINE AAAAAAAAA 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Between Logan's Mattie and Cooper's Teo, I got shippy material for myself 😎

Although I'm still very curious about when Zoey will join or when will they meet her, she seemed to have some backstory and I wanna see how she interacts

I WANNA SEE THE FORGE TRIAL AAAA I'M SO INTO THIS SHOW!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

#so glad we got new stuff #i needed a break from reality lol #looking forward to more #QUICK LEGO YOUTUBE CHANNEL #lego #lego dreamzzz #lego dreamzzz spoilers #spoilers #mateo #izzie #logan #cooper #zoey #dreamzzz mateo #dreamzzz izzie #dreamzzz logan #dreamzzz cooper #dreamzzz zoey #dreamzzz z blob

Fan Story Forward

I have long struggled with mental illness my entire life and in 2012 during a very low period in my life I got a little parrot I named R2 even though we always called him Tooie. I had always wanted a bird, a living dinosaur, ever since I was very young and given my state my family thought it best to get me a companion parrot. He helped me get through many troubled times but in 2018 my beloved companion Parrot when he passed away suddenly July 12 at only six years old from a fungal infection. Just three months later my cat Keiko a beloved companion of 14 years was diagnosed with cancer in the jaw bone the week of Halloween. She was given only a week to live but hung on till February 26 of 2019. R2 loved watching TV with the family or when people played video games. My younger sister got me into watching Ninjago around late 2016 and I came to love it and so did he. Watching the show helped me feel better whenever times were low. I didn’t get into the Nexo Knights till after he passed but knowing him he would have loved it too. I had gotten into the Elder Scrolls series in 2012 during my very low period and it really helped me get by and both R2 and Keiko enjoyed hanging out watching as I played Elder Scrolls games. I’ve always been strongly creative and often write, draw or work digitally to create things and shortly after R2 passed I had started to come up with an idea involving three of the things we loved the most; a story involving the ninja and Nexo Knights. I only started writing however shortly after Keiko passed. I wrote this story as a sort of way to get over the grief of their loss. When I started I had a sense of where the story was going but no real end and many aspects were still blank. I was heavily inspired by the Elder Scrolls series particularly the third instalment Morrowind, the fourth instalment Oblivion and its Shivering Isles expansion plus the most recent instalment Elder Scrolls Online which my younger sister got me as a birthday gift in 2019. This inspiration is heavily noticed in environments, names and parts of the mythology in the story. While the story deals with the very dark subject matter of death and grief I tried to keep it light and keep in plenty of humor despite the dark subject matter. I also tried to keep it light enough in tone for young children which is very hard when dealing with such a dark subject. I originally wanted to keep it short but as I was writing I found that really was not going to work. The story became so complex that restricting it in size was not really wise. I knew from the start I was going to focus on two of the ninja similarly to how the show works. The two I chose are my two favorites', Zane and Cole (if you’re wondering Aaron and Clay are my two favourite knights). As I wrote I began to feel the story was best put into two parts. While the two are focused on through the whole story the focus is more prominent to Zane during the first half and Cole in the second. Part one is titled The Land of Ice and Ash while the second is titled The land of Stone and Shadow.

I have seen all the Nexo Knight seasons and Ninjago up to season 13 of the show so it will fit chronologically up till this point. It also takes aspects from Tomy Andersons story "Way of the Departed" since I have read those. Overall it is not heavily reliant on other seasons being focused on the story at hand though there are times when content from other seasons is implemented. Taking hint from what one of Ninjagos creators said, I believe it was Tommy, the knights and ninja are given a pretty hard time in the story but that helps propel the story and make it interesting. They are thrust into a strange world with strange people who have mixed views of them many hating them and beings who wish to destroy them at every turn. Overall I believe it is a fun, entertaining and heart warming story. It might even help you get over any grieving you might be having. It did that for me.

Originally when I started writing this story I had intended for the Knights of the Prong to be Legos Nexo Knights but did not know how to properly bring them in so simply came up with the Knights of the Prong as a stand in and this helped me get the story out. I always felt I could do more with the knights and as I have gotten close to the end I finally figured out how I was going to bring in the Nexo Knights and I think it offers more to the story The ninja are still the major focus of the story but the knights have their part and help flush out some parts and offer a different view of this place the two groups find themselves in. Like with the ninja the parts with the knights is not heavily reliant on the seasons of the Nexo Knights but does rely that you know who the Nexo Knights are and a bit of a back story on them.

For those who don't know about the Nexo Knights here is a bit of back story to help you know who they are:

The Nexo Knights come from a place called Knighton where they fight monsters created by a necromancer named Monstrux. They work with the great over 300 year old wizard Merlok who gives the knights magical aid to boost the knights powers against monsters. Due to an accident he became digitized. With help from two knights in training Ava a tech master and Robin a mechanic and inventing expert he was integrated into the knights moving fortress a vehicle called the Fortrex. The two are children and rarely get directly into a fight often working in the background alongside Merlok. Ava prefers her technology over magic and Robin aspires to be a full knight like his role model Clay. Clay Moorington is Merloks nephew even though for the longest time he did not know this. He wields a sword and is leader for the knights being the most serious and devoted to the knights code to protect others. During the 3rd and 4th season he got corrupted by Monstruxs magic which turned him to stone. He cured himself when he unlocked a power with magic he did not know he had. His mother was a wizard like her brother Merlok but got corrupted by monstruxs dark magic turning her evil when Clay was young. Macy Halbert is the daughter to Knightons rulers the king and queen however she prefers to be a knight over a princess often sneaking her weapon, a mace, and armor in to places when she is supposed to be doing princess duties. She is the second most serious about being a knight and cares little for the duties of a princess. Aaron Fox is the groups archer wielding a crossbow and is an ultimate adrenaline junky thrill seeker often using his knights shield as a hover board during a fight or for fun. While he often doesn't seem it he is serious about his duties as a knight. While Clay was corrupted he took over as leader for the knights taking his new role seriously. He is most often wearing headphones. Axl, who has no last name, is the muscle of the group wielding a war axe. He's kind, gentle, plays music and loves food. His younger sister has a crush on Robin which makes Robin uncomfortable. Lance Richmond is the spoiled party son of a rich lord. He's super into his good looks and social media and has been known to pay others off to do or finish jobs for him. Despite this he does take his role as a knight seriously despite originally not wanting much to do with the life of a knight. He has a pet pig named Hamletta and a little sister who's training to be a knight like him. The knights have special shields which can harness Merloks magic for use in combat. Another prominent character who does make it into the story as well is Jestro the courts royal jester. While not a knight he trained alongside the others and is a deep friend of Clays. He is very insecure and anxious and tends to have the unfortunate luck of falling to evil influences, particularly Monstrux, despite his attempts to avoid them. Even when corrupted he’s hesitant to truly hurt the knights preferring to just mess with them.

I am a strong visually orientated person so as I went I created many concept arts to help me visualize environments, creatures, layouts and characters in the story. I will include these with the story so you can help visualize things as well. Many of these artworks you can find here: https://www.deviantart.com/nerdy-hyena/gallery/72478681/story-project

Overall I believe it is a fun, entertaining and heart warming story. It might even help you get over any grieving you might be having. It did that for me.

Keiko and R2:

As in all Elder Scrolls games there is a prophecy that foretells of heroes journey for the ninja their prophecy as foretold by the scrolls is:

“The scrolls foretold of this; His defeat was merely a delay; after the oni would fall the dragons would fail. When their wings are clipped and they have fallen to shadow the border between realms shall weaken and fall and darkness shall come. Realms once light and familiar shall be covered in shadows, shadows that are in plain view yet hidden consuming the world in darkness. There is only one this darkness fears; one of its own. But to gain this darkness and for the realms to be saved knights must fall to ash and shadow and dragons must enter the tower of first light and fall to its darkness in order for realms to see the light.”

Chikara “Piano Lessons Can Be Murder” - Live Show Report October 13th in Philadelphia, PA

My busy live show schedule continued today with a return trip to the Chikara Wrestle Factory for the latest event. Even before doors opened, myself and others waiting in line were treated to something new: wrestling gear maker and Chikara ally Yolanda coming out to regale us with some tails of recent events involving her, such as Travis Huckabee using her as a human shield at last month’s “It Came From Beneath the Sink.”

- The show opening included ring announcer Preston Blathers stating that Razerhawk was unable to compete today, so a suitable replacement would be found.

1. Cornelius Crummels & Sonny Defarge beat Dasher & Boomer Hatfield when Defarge caught Boomer with a spinning slam for the pin. Nice opener with the wrestlers’ personalities shining through. There was a funny moment late when the Hatfields tied up Crummels and Defarge’s legs with their own suspenders, making them think the Hatfields had them in leg locks, so they crawled to the ropes, and referee Bryce Remsburg did the 5 count on them to break the holds they had on themselves. Dasher was about to lock in an abdominal stretch (how he beat Huckabee last month) onto Crummels, but Crummels escaped by sneezing in Dasher’s face. Defarge caught Boomer in the end as Boomer (looking solid all match) was attempting a dive to the outside.

2. Ophidian beat Frightmare with the Egyptian Destroyer. These two had a heated feud that ended with Ophidian beating Frightmare at February’s National Pro Wrestling Day in a Submission Match, so the feud was revisited here in suitably heated fashion. Lots of strike exchanges between the two, including one where both were laid out by the end. Ophidian hit a powerbomb backbreaker (Project Ciampa) for a big nearfall. Ophidian hit his Destroyer, a flipping piledriver after going “Old School,” walking the top rope while having a hold of Frightmare, and springboarding off. I thought this was one of the stronger matches on the card.

- Still Life With Apricots and Pears came out to talk with Scott Holladay. He ignored and interupted Scott’s question about Ursa Minor in the Night Sky’s whereabouts and talked about how colors are made. He said he was looking for his perfect color, and indicated he would challenge Danjerhawk for the Young Lions Cup at La Lotería Letal in two weeks. With Danjerhawk in action next, he opted to take an up-close seat for the next match. Ring crew rolled out a carpet and set up a chair for Still Life, but he opted to just sit on the carpet at first.

- With Razerhawk unavailable, Remsburg followed Chikara tradition by drawing a replacement from a hat. The name was Mercedes Martinez, but she wasn’t there. The next name drawn was Lambo Miura, not a real wrestler to my knowledge but suitable for the gag, and also not present. As usual, the third name drawn was available: Penelope Ford! She appeared twice before in Chikara this year alongside Joey Janela in tag team matches.

3. F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Tony Deppen) beat Danjerhawk and Penelope Ford when Deppen rolled up Ford with a handful of her trunks. Pretty fun match with Ford stealing the show and Danjerhawk holding his own. Deppen acted quite intense throughout to a pretty cartoonish level, constantly threatening to kill whoever was in the ring with him. In the end, Danjerhawk was knocked to the floor, Ford gave Icarus a German suplex into the corner, and Deppen stole the win over her. Still Life watched the whole thing without getting involved.

4. Lucas Calhoun & Jeremy Leary & Blanche Babish vs. The Proteus Wheel (Volgar & Frantik & Callux the Castigator) never got started. After Calhoun and company made their entrance, but before the Proteus Wheel could enter, the guy in camo pants asking about Missile Assault Man last month came into the ring in a surprise. He said his name was Axel Ford (presumably not related to Penelope), and as he was telling Calhoun that he knew why he was here, but then a hooded figure ran in and attacked Ford. This person revealed himself as Missile Assault Man, back in Chikara for the first time since December. He and Ford continued fighting as the Proteus Wheel came out to fight with Calhoun and company, before a bell could ring. Things were getting out of hand, so the three other refs on the card, and then soon the rest of the roster, came out in an attempt to separate the wrestlers. This only led to the chaos to spread in and out of the ring, looking like a recent segment from Raw. Calhoun was able to get in the ring alone with Missile Assault Man, only for Volgar to clock Missile Assault Man from behind with his chain, laying him out. Remsburg yelled at the Proteus Wheel to leave the building, which they did. The match was thrown out, and I did not see where Missile Assault Man and Axel Ford went.

- They went back to having one intermission this time.

5. Juan Francisco de Coronado beat Cam Carter with the Coronado Clutch. This was my first time seeing Carter; he made his Chikara debut at King of Trios last month. I thought he looked quite impressive. It was kind of funny to me hear Juan call him “kid.” Carter wowed me with two big nearfalls; the first was a high angle German suplex, the other was him running from the start of the entrance way (level with the ring) and leaping over the top rope into a 450. Even after getting stuck in the Coronado Clutch, Carter was able to roll through it for a nearfall before getting stuck in it again and ultimately tapping. There was a small “Please Come Back” chant for him, but Juan responded to it as if it was for him, saying he’s not going anywhere. Juan then went to speak with Holladay who asked about his potential partner at La Lotería Letal. In his attempt to make his answer easy, Juan mentioned Hallowicked and Princess KimberLee as partners he would not want. He closed by saying the only partner he could trust is... Juan Francisco de Coronado.

6. Solo Darling and The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant, and Thief Ant) beat The Creatures of the Deep (Oceanea, Merlok, Hermit Crab, and Cajun Crawdad) when Fire Ant pinned Oceanea following a Beach Break. A very fun version of this classic Chikara staple, with everyone holding their own. Twice Green Ant and Thief Ant attempted to launch Fire Ant, and twice Merlok stopped it. Solo almost had it won with Oceanea in the Sharp Stinger, but Merlok broke it up by throwing Green Ant into her. Fire Ant was able to survive after a Muscle Buster from Merlok and a top rope senton from Oceanea A second Sharp Stinger attempt from Solo led to Oceanea getting a nearfall off of a small package. Solo was nearly hit with the Tidal Wave (Oceanea doing a Yoshi-Tonic on Merlok off the top rope to send him crashing down onto an opponent), but Fire Ant pulled her out of the way. This allowed Fire Ant to capitalize and hit the finish.

7. The Regime (Sloan Caprice & Rick Roland) beat The Beast Warriors (Oleg the Usurper & The Proletariat Boar of Moldova) 2 falls to 1 to retain Los Campeonatos de Parejas. I felt this was one of the weaker Chikara main events this year, but I still thought it had plenty of drama to it. Oleg and Boar worked over Caprice’s knee, much to ref Kris Levin’s chagrin since it was two-on-one, leading to Boar making Caprice tap to a Figure Four leg lock for the first fall. Juan Francisco de Coronado came out after this to corner Caprice and Roland. Caprice sold his injured knee for the remainder of the match, relying on Roland to take the lead during second fall. Boar’s arm, injured last month, became a target for the Regime. Eventually, things got so heated for Oleg that he shoved Levin, leading to a disqaulification call and the Regime taking the second fall. Hype Rockwell then came out to lend support to the Beast Warriors. This led to the finishing sequence, with Rockwell going after Juan when he got on the apron. Oleg saw this going down and went to hit a senton off the apron onto Juan on the floor, but Juan ducked and Oleg hit Rockwell. Juan continued focusing on Juan on the outside as Boar gored Caprice, but then Roland caught Boar in a Fujiwara Arm Bar to make him tap out immediately. Bummer, and Rockwell, Oleg, and Boar all left separately after this.

Though I wasn’t as high on the main event, there was a lot of fun action underneath, along with a fairly major angle and return.
