The FSM may have seen her as more of an older sister cause seeing her as a mother felt like they were replacing nyad but. I think wu and garmadon would see mystaké as more of a grandma than an aunt. Grandma seems more fitting idk I can't explain it

I'm gonna try something different and write a fanfic on sasha losing her eye 😭😭forget any intro to the characters, we're getting into this 👿 also uhhh I'm kinda a beginner writer so dont judge me to harshly plz ik i shouldve written grime more in but 😭😭 maybe next time 🤪🤪tw: gore described? idk just know this won't be pretty. *btw this takes place in the basement of the castle!!*
Anne and sasha, we're pinned in a corner. Darcy, about to turn the corner. "Anne, I can handle her. You can run past her and get backup. Please, go." Anne shook her head, she knew it was a horrible idea. "Sasha, I'm the one with the powers. It's more sensible for me to fight her. Please sasha.." Darcy was growing closer, they could hear her approaching.
"No Anne. Let me do this please. I can take her. Plus, we don't want to hurt Marcy. If you use your powers... you could kill her." Anne sighed, she knew sasha was right. Thankfully Sasha could fight perfectly, she knew Sasha could handle Darcy. At that second, Darcy turned the corner, "Well well? I have you pinned. Give up and I may not hurt you." Sasha nodded to Anne, "Never Marcy. We know your still in there." Anne started creeping away slowly, Darcy's attention was on Sasha.
"Marcy's memory's were wiped! She has no memory of you, or her past life. Marcy is dead. You can never get her back." Darcy laughed, Sasha knew deep down Darcy was telling the truth. A tear fell down her cheek. "Well then, I have no reason to hold back." Sasha advanced forward, and aimed for Darcy's head with her sword. Darcy parried and took a step back laughing.
Meanwhile, Anne bolted out of the corridor. She zig-zagged through the hallways. Looking for anyone, but she couldn't find anyone. She found the stairs and ran up them. Suddenly, she saw grime.
"Marcy please. I don't want to hurt you. This is your last chance." Sasha said. Darcy smiled, it was almost like she was enjoying this. "Like I said earlier. Marcy is gone." Sasha didn't waste a second and lunged again towards marcy's chest. Darcy stepped to the side missing the attack. Darcy noticed Sasha's feet were exposed and Darcy kicked her feet from under her and Sasha fell to the ground. Her sword flung by Darcy's feet. She got on her knees, she knew she couldn't beat her.
"Last chance waybright." Darcy said picking up Sasha's sword. "I'll never join you.. And I'll never let you hurt Anne." Sasha said, looking into Darcy's eyes. Darcy, approached. Darcy put her sword away and looked down at Sasha. She smiled, inhumanly and suddenly her hand reached out. Her hand entered Sasha's right eye and ripped it out.
Sasha gasped. Blood was pooling out of her eyelid. She covered her eye with her hand, blood rushing through her fingers, falling down on the ground. She attempted to stand up and she was successful. Darcy, was visibly shocked by this but Darcy knew Sasha was done for. Footsteps were approaching, Sasha could hear. "I'm not going to let you hurt Anne." She took her hand off her eyelid and tried to punch Darcy. Darcy smiled at this, and caught Sasha's hand.
Darcy pulled Sasha's arm behind Sasha's back and broke her arm. Twisting it in the opposite direction. Sasha still did not collapse but she gasped in pain. From the one eye she had she started to see black spots. She staggered towards the wall for support and leaned against it. Darcy knew this was the perfect opportunity. Darcy took Sasha's sword and once again approached. "Sasha no!" Someone yelled. Darcy rammed Sasha's sword into her chest. Sasha looked down and blood started coming out of her mouth. "No.." She weakly said.
The next few moments were a blur. Sasha could occasionally see blue streaks but she couldn't do a thing. The wound Sasha sustained started to bleed. She put her hand against the side of the sword instinctively. Sasha looked up and she saw her. Anne looming over Darcy's limpless body. Anne rushed over to Sasha, Grime trying to figure out a way to move Sasha without causing more damage, he told Anne he would get reinforcements to axcist and left.
"Anne... I'm so sorry for everything." Sasha muttered, trying to look up at Anne. "Hey no no! Look at me, your gonna be fine. Everythings ok." Anne said, trying to sound like her normally happy self. She smiled at Sasha, and this sparked something in her. "No Anne. Let me go. Please, I need to redeem myself for everything I did to you..." Sasha muttered, her vision going blurry her head fell. Anne was shocked. "Is that what this was all about? Redeeming yourself? Sasha. This wasn't the answer. I could've done this myself and you would've been fine. Why would you..." Anne trailed off, tears falling down her cheeks.
Sasha grabbed the hilt of the sword lodged in her and removed it using all of her remaining strength. She screamed in agony, pain rushing through her. Her eye was horribly damaged and you could see through her stomach. Anne couldn't handle the sight but still maintained eye contact with Sasha. Sasha fell to the ground but luckily Anne caught her. "I got you..." Anne brought Sasha safely to the ground, putting Sasha's head on her lap. Sasha looked up at Anne.
"Anne. I love you." Sasha weakly smiled, her vision going dark. Anne kept talking to her saying it'd be okay but she knew she was leaving. The noises were drowning out. Anne noticed this changed and hugged Sasha tight. Sasha had just enough energy to weakly hug Anne back. But then... she went limp in Anne's arm. A small smile on her lips.
"Sasha..?"

✨Small Canon Things in Ninjago That Aren’t Necessarily Important to the Plot, but Important to Me Pt 2✨

34. Wu didn’t want to tell the ninja about the green ninja prophecy because he was afraid of having a repeat of Morro
35. since s8 at the very least, the ninja all shared a room on the bounty until the monastery was rebuilt

RANKING TGCF CHARACTERS BY HOW MUCH I THINK THEY WOULD SURVIVE IN FNAF:
12. QI RONG: dies in night 1 at 12:30 A.M because doesn't listen to Phone Guy's instructions and wanders around the pizzeria. Probably kicked an animatronic because he's bored.
11. LANG QIANQIU: tried to be calm and serene about the situation, but gets anxious and angry and goes fight the animatronics. Leaves the security office and Foxy inmediatly kills him.
10. BEEFLEAF: if they're together they die in night 1 because sqx gets braver at hx's side and is curious, goes to explore and brings hx along. Obviously, they get killed.
9. HE XUAN: they go to the kitchen for a midnight snack at 5:00 A.M and finds Chica there. She kills them.
8. FENG XIN: survives night 1 (he didn't listen to the instructions so is a miracle), but runs out of patience in night 2 and fights the animatronics when they try to enter the office instead of closing the door. He loses.
7. SHI QINGXUAN: if they are alone, they will just panic. They talk to the animatronics and scream. Survives two nights (yeyy!!!), but the third night they're so afraid that they close the door and run out of power.
6. QUAN YIZHEN: doesn't listen to Phone Guy's instructions, falls asleep and somehow survives night 1 and 2 like that. Third night is when he can't sleep because of the noise, fights the animatronics to shut them up and ends up getting killed by the Cupcake.
5. PEI MING: so, this may seem a weird placement, but pm is actually pretty competent in his job. Plus, he makes Chica uncomfortable so he only has to fight three animatronics. But by night 4 he becomes too confident in his surviving skills and forgets to check Foxy as much as he should and dies.
4. FENGQING: they would go together, because is fengqing and they're a dynamic duo. They yell all the time, but also work great together. They die at night 4 because they're in the middle of an argument, forget about the animatronics (it's not the first time this happens) and Golden Freddy kills them because he can't deal with them yelling / making out anymore.
3. MU QING: almost survives 5 nights, but after 4 days of this he gets a bit cocky and he's killed at 5.00 A.M by Golden Freddy.
2. XIE LIAN: ok, listen. Xl is about to die every night, but somehow survives at the last minute. The animatronics are pretty confused about this. He ends the week without problem, but when he goes for his paycheck he is bitten by one of the animatronics and spends the rest of his life paying the hospital debt and dealing with ptsd, which you could argue that is worse than death.
1. LING WEN: she's lw. Job with terrible hours, with lots of multitasking where they don't pay you enough to deal with this shit? That's her territory. Survives 5 nights + the extra night + custom night 20/20 mode.
HONORABLE MENTIONS for characters that didn't make it to the ranking because they're just like that:
-HUA CHENG: he's not trapped with the animatronics, the animatronics are trapped with him. This bitch would survive the first night and come back the next day with a bat made of steel and break every animatronic. Then burns the place down. If this is after xl gets bitten, the animatronics don't survive even a day.
-HUALIAN: they fuck in the security office. The animatronics are uncomfortable and don't approach them.
-SHI WUDU: works one night, then sues the company. He's now the owner of Fazbear Enterteiment. And maybe William's next victim.
-YUSHI HUAN & PEI SU: spent one night there, don't come back because it's not worth it.
-YIN YU: is Phone Guy. He dies at night 4 but special mention anyway because Phone Guy.
-JUN WU: would be the fucking killer. Gets springlocked and makes it everyone's problem.

TGCF: My theory on the inspiration behind the 4 calamities
In some of the oldest Chinese myths and legends, there are 4 guardian gods of the four cardinal directions - the green dragon, white tiger, crimson bird, and black tortoise, and each have a colour, season and element associated with them.
I'm not sure if anyone has made this connection before, but I'm writing it down if anyone is interested. There are spoilers about the calamities' identity.
First, the 青龙 (qing long, green dragon) --> Qi Rong, Night-touring Green lantern.
The qinglong's territory is the East, and its colour is qing, which means green, or turqoise. Its element is wood, and its season is spring. Closely associated with royalty and the imperial family.
Now, for the similarities with our favourite green goblin. "qing" is literally the colour in Qi Rong's title, and his colour scheme. Qi Rong has a habit of hanging corpses from trees, which may be his relation to the element "wood". He does not have any obvious coleration with the season "spring"- perhaps he was born in spring. He is royalty, part of the imperial family as cousin to the crown prince.
Second, the 白虎 (bai hu, white tiger)--> Bai Wuxiang, White Clothed Disaster upon the Earth.
The baihu's territory is the West, its colour is white, element is gold/metal, and its season is summer. It is the king of all beasts, associated with disease and war, often used as a guardian symbol by soldiers.
On the other hand, Jun Wu's title, alias and colour scheme are all white, and has plenty of weapons that may be his link to the element of "gold/metal". I don't think he has anything to do with summer, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. He is king of the gods, a god of war, and the one to spread the human face disease.
As east and west are considered a pair, the guardian spirits are meant to reflect each other. In Chinese poems and such, symmetry is important, and both Qi Rong and Jun Wu were princes, one becoming revered by the highest of gods, covered with masks and false identities, one becoming the object of disgust by the lowest of ghosts, using his real name and face. There is a certain poetic symmetry to it, don't you think?
To the second pair. The 朱雀 (zhu que, crimson bird)----> Hua Cheng, Crimson Rain Sought Flower
The zhuque rules over the south, its colour is red, element is fire, and its season is summer. It is the king of all birds, more powerful than even the phoenix, immortal and undying. As such, in many places it is also considered a symbol of life.
Now, to the most popular ghost king: Hua Cheng. The english translation of his title is "crimson", and his colour scheme is indubitably red and autumn-y shades. He also re-re-met Xie Lian in autumn ( I think - I mean, the leaves were all red in the donghua??), and has died again and again to return like the zhuque. He is the king of all ghosts, with a great determination to live(sorta? are ghosts alive??) for his love.
Lastly, my personal favourite, the 玄武 (xuan wu, black tortoise)---->He Xuan, Black Water Sinking Ships
The xuanwu, also called a tortoise, is actually the only spirit to be a combination of 2 animals, a snake and a tortoise. It rules over the north. Its colour is black( sometimes depicted as dark blue), element is water, and its season is winter. In earlier legends, he is considered a guide and guardian to the netherworld, of death and of long life.
Thus, to our poor indebted water ghost. He Xuan's name is "xuan", the same! goddamn! character! as the spirit! His title and colour scheme are all to do with the colour black, and he is a water ghost because he died because of the Water Master. He has been marked by death, yet survived and vowed revenge. This, and the fact that his house is called the Nether Water Manor, is probably his relation to the netherworld of the xuanwu.
To the pair of south and north. Both Hua Cheng and He Xuan have suffered and suffered again, yet Hua Cheng chooses to linger on due to hope and love, and He Xuan due to revenge and hatred. But hatred and love are two sides of the same coin. If Hua Cheng hadn't experienced the hatred from his childhood, he wouldn't have thrown himself from the city wall and met Xie Lian. If He Xuan hadn't loved his family, so much, he wouldn't have broken that hard after their deaths to lose himself to hatred and empty vengence.
Aaaaaand that concludes this essay. Keep in mind that this is a theory, and probably even isn't true, but if anybody wants a more detailed description of the guardian spirits, or to know more about the similarities between the mythical creatures of ancient china and tgcf, I will be more than happy to make a part 2.
Thanks for reading!!

So since the fandom has come back to life and there is not enough Kataang content on this app I will start sharing my two cents. Yay.
I want to start off by saying that as the show was airing, I, as a 10 year old, did kinda ship Zutara. Let’s face it, that scene in the catacombs was a turning point for a lot of shippers. But that was before I saw the final season a couple of years later. When I rewatched the show as a whole, as a teenager I was over Zutara, honestly their interaction kind of felt awkward to me, because they were enemies for so long. So I was all for Kataang. Now, that I’ve rewatched it for like a 1000th time, as a 28 year old, I finally see Kataang for the amazing pairing that it is.
Anyway, I’m not here to hate on anyone, you can ship whoever you like, and I love Zuko so you will not see me slandering his character here. Plus I don't feel the need to hate dump on a character to make my ship feel superior (*cough* unlike some Zutara shippers *cough*).
Ok, so. I feel that when people think of Katara, and her part in the show, they remember her as the responsible one in the group, the "mother" of the group, the sensible and caring one. Yes, when Katara’s mother died she had to step in and take the responsibility of the mother in the family, like Sokka says in the Runaway, and that stayed with her throughout the show. But, I hate that that’s the only thing she’s remembered for, because that’s just the result of her trauma. I feel like most people ignore a very crucial part of her character. Yes, she is the responsible in the group, but when she gets a chance to just be a kid, that's what she is.
People forget about the fun loving side of Katara. The one that goes penguin sledding and remembers how she hasn’t done it in a long time because life hasn’t allowed her to. The side of Katara that gets obsessed with Aunt Wu’s prediction because she is just a regular girl who’s fascinated by her love life, and dreams about what her future husband might be like. The girl that tries flying on the glider with Teo. The girl that relaxes on Appa and lets the hippie girl braid her hair, completely forgetting about the next task in their journey. People forget the side of her that dances in a cave, forgetting about the war and just enjoying life. Let’s not ignore that whenever Katara has a chance, she just enjoys being a kid, not just a badasss waterbender travelling with the Avatar.
And when Katara brings that side out, you know who’s right by her side? Aang. He’s not just by her side, he’s the one initiating those little fun moments. Penguin sledding is his idea, he’s the one to remind her that even though she’s been through a lot, and has a lot of responsibilities, she’s still a kid. He’s the one to organize the dance party, in a middle of a war, in the enemy's terrorory, he still finds a way for them just to be kids. And she’s right there with him, dancing. He’s also taking part in her obsession with Aunt Wu, not belittling or making fun of her faith, but taking part in it. Also sitting right next to her in a flower crown and enjoying the music the hippies play.
You cannot ignore that part of Katara, the part that shines when she’s comfortable, the part that just wants to be a regular kid and have fun. And that’s the part that Aang brings out in her. He’s the Avatar, the weight of the world is literally on his shoulders, but he still finds a way to enjoy life and be a kid, even after going through the worst trauma you can imagine. And he’s there to remind her that even if you’ve experienced the worst, you can still find joy in the little things. She literally says in the first episode - Aang brought something we haven’t had in a long time - fun. And that’s what he brings to her, this light, and that’s why she’s so drawn to him.
Isn’t that what we want for Katara, after the war is over? To just let herself be a kid, not to miss out on that part of her life, now that she doesn’t have to worry about their survival? And the best person to bring this joy and childlike wonder back into her life is Aang. And that’s why I think that Aang is truly the best one Katara could have ended up with.

Cole Brookstone Headcannons!
There's quite a lot so enjoy ^^
First of all, I headcannon that he's Filipino
One of the tallest ninja, Zane is just a little taller
His favourite colours are black, orange, and green
One of the reasons he grew out his hair is because his mother was the one who always trimmed it for him before she died
He also grew it out to hide his ghost scar
He's a MASSIVE gym rat
The guy is absolutely shredded, and legit built like a greek god so rest assured this man has a jacked-up physique
He has a pair of orange/silver headphones he takes almost everywhere with him
A very good dancer, and also has such a beautiful singing voice (he never sings in public)
He plays the drums and guitar
He's definitely the therapist friend (along with Pixal, Zane and Nya)
He sometimes feels a little lonely, especially since almost all of his friends are in relationships (more or less lmao) and he sometimes wishes he had someone like that to confide in
He's bi, hasn't got a particular preference but he also doesn't usually date
He gives the best hugs
Cole's a pretty chill guy, but mess with his friends n he'll pound you into oblivion
He's closest with Jay and Kai, but can actually find himself venting to Zane or Nya all the time
When Lloyd was younger he used to take him to candy shops because he felt bad about rubbing it in his face when they first met
He probably has the closest relationship with Master Wu, except for Lloyd bc their family obviously
He and Vania sometimes stay up all night playing prime empire. She's an absolute boss at the game and Cole's determined to be better than her
He cannot cook to save his life, but something about the instant noodles he always has hits different hehe
Thank you so much for reading!! Lmk if you want me to do any other characters <3
