But almost all the ninja go through what Nya did in Seabound, in their respective seasons. When half a century spent connected to the forbidden scroll in the never realm left Zane mostly made of ice. When Jay and his powers were the only energy source strong enough to power a portal back from prime empire since Zane’s absence but he had to sacrifice his body in order to become fully digital. When the spinjitzu burst was never fully mastered by Lilly because it mean becoming stone and earth and still Cole made that sacrifice. When Nya returns to sea and whatever crystalised has in store for Lloyd. But Kai had his powers stolen before all of that, and they never returned. He had to learn to be a hero without those powers, and he was lucky enough to be a hero without the price of them too.
rereading animorphs and once in a while marco will say “people dont understand the word ruthless. they think it means ‘mean.’ its not about being mean. its about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from a to b. the line that goes from motive to means. beginning to end. its about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. not caring about anything else but the perfection of it.” and then repeat it, over and over, "i can see the bright clear line and i know she can too" as he tries over and over again, as he tries to lead a group of his friends to kill his own mother, who is host and slave to the leader of a race of parasitic slugs who have so much genocide and incomprehensible crimes on their hands its impossible to describe in a succinct post
and then they go to school the next day and giggle about cinnabon, play video games, and steal back a doodle saying "cassie ♡ jake" from another students house. bc theyre all like. 13 years old. and the second they stop having to carry the weight of a species and a war on their shoulders, theyre really fucking written like 13 year olds k.a. applegate did such a good job with this series
Jayfeather Doodle Page!! I do a lot of these for characters but I’m particularly proud of this one :D highlighted are some songs I listened to while making these, near the drawings they inspired.
With the ABC Once Upon a Time series having its version of Mulan as a lesbian and there being people who believe that Elsa might be gay as well, along with the way Elsa smiled and nodded at Mulan as the Chinese warrior spoke in the second Wreck-It Ralph film, I decided to include those versions of them in the collage. While adding in their Disney selves at the top.
When Lilith is discussing ripping the halo out of Ava after they caught her at archTeq, Bea asks
Bea: and if she dies?
Lilith: that's up to god
Things inside the room start to shake and Ava starts floating above the bed. Despite the fact that we're explicitly told by Ava that she cannot move because she's still under the effects of Bea's (affectionate ❤️) tranquilizer dart. Only after that she's able to move again.
Which means, not only did the halo chose Ava, god/reya/whoever is the equivalent of god in this universe did too
Also, Ava is wearing different clothes than what she was wearing previous to arriving at cat's cradle. Someone had to strip her and put her into training-friendly clothing. And in my headcanon it was Bea (and also Camila because she's just helpful and sweet like that), because it's fun to think of the gay panic involved
