Yall remember that one scene where Zane is talking to Mr. Frohicky after losing the Zane-alike contest and has an existential crisis about not being the person he was before The Merge? Yea so fun fact about that, the music they play during that exchange is the FUCKING ICE EMPEROR THEME! It kinda feels like them finally acknowledging that canonically committing genocide would have fucked Zane up real good actually and I'm honestly here for it.
Am I the only one who is a little mad at Cole and Zane for not showing so much reaction of Kai's sacrifice? More for Cole's side who never got the chance to see him after the merge?
We've got the not-entirely-human duo!!!!! I drew these refs ages ago and I gotta tell ya I've been thinking about re-doing Lloyd's but I'll worry about that later. Based (ofc) more heavily off of the movie designs and before you ask, yes Lloyd is that much shorter than Zane.

Kai & Nya | Lloyd & Zane | Cole & Jay | Skylor & Pixal
I hope we get to see Zane and Nya bonding, directly or indirectly, about the love of their lives being AWOL. Partially because I like sad angst and also those two interacting. Mostly because I think it'd be really funny.
Listen. Listen to me. Neither of them are going about this mourning/panicking process the same way. Not even close. Zane has a broom with Pixal's face and is sighing longingly while looking off the Destiny's Bounty. A faraway look in his eye that makes the others feel really bad for him. When will she return from the war? When will half of his heart return to him? It feels like weeks. Months. Years. It's been four hours and in actuality he's mostly fine he's just sad about it.
Nya meanwhile is trying to subtly ask everyone if they've seen Jay around and very much acting completely Calm and Chill about it but also pretty worried underneath. She seems like she's fine. She is not. At all times she is 0.4 seconds away from yeeting herself into the sea again. Constantly down to 1v1 someone in a duel just for looking at her weird. Will kick open a door shouting at top volume if anyone's seen her cringefail of a fiancé. Her designated dragon is quite literally lightning-based. She's going through it on five different levels but if she tells anyone that she will die instantly.
And I think these two should go on a solo mission together. Thoughts?
His last thought was of his father telling him his purpose, the purpose he is literally dying to fulfill ("You are built to protect those who cannot protect themselves.")
The heartbeat flatlining (HE HAS A HEART)
"Support me, friends. For one last time."
"This isn't about numbers. It's about family."
When the music gets quiet and soft, and the memories start playing, that's where you can find the pieces of my shattered heart.
Anyways, I found the theme on Spotify and decided to break my heart again.
Fun fact: I never actually saw this scene until a month ago. I started watching while my siblings were at the beginning of season 4. I found the scene on tumblr and started crying.
AU where Zane Ninjago is the previous master of ice. like when he transferred his elemental powers over he also transferred his soul and he low-key reincarnated into this robo-body. cool beans. this means there's the potential of Zane starting to glimpse bits and pieces of past and not knowing why he can see it. the things master Wu talks about--why can he see them as if he were there?--he feels like he has experienced personally. give Zane a whole other crisis on top of after he finds out he's a nindriod not a human. this also means Zane in old clothes and styles from Master Wu's time whenever he has flashbacks which is a neat visual. like heck you could have someone other than Wu have previous villains that show up! you could balance that out a bit! Master of Ice's previous nemesis shows up ready to throw down when they discover he's technically still alive but also not. Zane questioning if this is his life at all. if he's Zane or someone else. If he was Zane before or if he was nothing. If he's Zane now or if he never was to begin with
Just had a ninjago au idea where when the time twins changed the past to make the present all "old timey" they were defeated but the changes stayed. So Zane is just dead, as well as Pixal and all other droids, and everyone is freaking out and trying to fix things. But the thing is that as time goes on everyone begins to forget that things were ever different. I don't know where this would go I just had to share
