doomed au timeline thing? idrk

uhh okay so . i saw that the doomed au kinda popped off n i figured i'd go into a bit more depth for fun so i doodled out this crappy comic thing. i think i saw a homestuck comic do something similar LOL.

im gonna give like. aftermath of the ninja's deaths and such for the sake of clarity , since i know this is just an angsty clusterbump.

Kai: The real ignition for Lloyd's downfall. The staff was destroyed moments before the transformation ritual by the green ninja himself. In Lloyd's mind, his friend would return to normal. But he was met with something else as Kai desperately took the shards and ran away instead, too far gone into his ego and insanity. Returning home they remain the same in quantity, with Lloyd and Nya heartbroken, and Zane blaming himself.

Cole: He acted as the stable rock of the group. He brought the ninja back to their high spirits again, acting as a replacement flame for Kai to reunite his team. He even began the trend of looking for the missing ninja, with hope they were still out there. Yet despite being the very reason they stabilized, no one seemed to realize he disappeared. Instead they suddenly felt lost, like they were missing something. The grief returned, and the dots never connected.

Zane: His disappearance set the team on course for failure. With him, Asphera never explained where she had banished him, and the others were left to believe he was really, truly gone this time. He acted as the caretaker for the group, tying them together once more as he tried to bring back the joy they lost through menial tasks and the small details of the world. Even back to when Kai disappeared, Lloyd could be a leader with his help. With the last light in the tunnel gone, no one had any more confidence to step up.

Nya: Jay and Lloyd's breaking point. Without her, they lost their drive to keep searching. Her disappearance plays the same as canon, becoming one with the sea. Though she was less hesitant now, understanding that this was just fate, that the team wasn't meant to survive. If that was the case, she'll go out with a bang, knowing that with her gone they would understand too. At least she knew they would be safe for now.

Lloyd: His disappearance happened long after he recognized his Oni form. After having to fight the overlord alone, he went on a downwards spiral. Jay couldn't be there, and frankly, Wu couldn't get through to him like Garmadon did. Lloyd hated the idea of fate. He felt too, like Nya, that the team wasn't meant to last. As such, in his last effort to feel control, he caved into what came easy.

Pixal: Like Zane did in canon after Nya, she turned off her emotion meter. She knew some of the ninja could be saved, and she knew she had to stop grieving in order to even try. In a frustrated effort, she attempted to bring the ninja to her level, only to blame herself for Lloyd's snap. After realizing she couldn't do much for a grieving Jay, she leaves to find the others.

Jay: Who knows where he is. Wu entered his quarters to find only a pair of nunchaku, and his gi laying on his pillow. Maybe he joined Pixal, maybe he existed as a criminal like Lloyd now. All Wu knew is he lost his last student and the last defender of Ninjago. It's likely Jay quit, afraid of becoming next in fate's cruel hand. He'd only learn after the merge.

okay thats it lmao. i might add more ideas in the future but im not creative enough to plot it out properly gO NUTS

#i know the proportions are weird #im not even joking i drew every 'panel' with variations of tiredness #i know their legs are long #my hand is just quirky like that. mettaton core #ninjago #ninjago kai #ninjago zane #ninjago jay #ninjago cole #ninjago pixal #ninjago lloyd #ninjago doomed au #ninjago au #also. i wanna point out that jay has more significance in this au than im letting on haha i just dont feel like writing it really

Alphys!

(for this post)

First impression

oh it’s the quirky scientist archetype, i know where this is going

(i was completely blindsided by the twist at the start of mtt’s fight…)

(i also initially assumed she was male because internal prejudice and this led to a headcanon that she’s nonbinary) 

Impression now

anxiety lizard. i love her

alphys is interesting because she makes mistakes that are big and hurt a lot of people, but aren’t justified by some big tragedy- asgore lost his kids, asriel and chara died, and the other characters’ conflicts pretty much just center around going along with the plan to kill frisk, but alphys just, screwed up, and panicked, and people got hurt because of it in a way that can’t be fixed, and that’s super relatable and god i love her

Favorite moment

the scene after the mtt fight when she tells you the barrier needs a human soul and a monster soul to open.  this was one of my favorite parts of the whole game tbh, because it so completely recontextualizes both her motivations and your own

(one of the first story ideas i had for this game, before i even finished it, involved frisk trying to talk that through with sans in the golden hallway because there has to be another way… right?)

and like, keeping you here seems like an entirely selfish motivation until then, but now we know that for you to go home asgore would have to die, and even if she wanted to be the hero and could have told you a lot sooner, her base motivations here are just that- make sure everyone lives

Idea for a story

alphys goes to therapy

ok but seriously, alphys isn’t done recovering and i want a story that explores the aftermath of the amalgams reuniting with their families, what she even does after toriel fires her from the position of royal scientist, and how she navigates her relationship with undyne while she’s still healing from all of that

Unpopular opinion

alphys is not a medical doctor, and i doubt she’s licensed to practice medicine at all.  sure the amalgams were a medical-type-thing, but bear in mind she was essentially working with corpses until they woke up

she’s an engineer more than anything else.  she built mettaton and i bet she had a hand in building the core (tho that’s headcanon territory).  i can see asgore putting a little more faith into her medical expertise than he maybe ought to considering the “artificial soul” aspect of mtt’s public origin story

(i uh, do tend to give her medicinal jobs in my comics on occasion, but that’s mostly because she’s the human expert in the underground, so if frisk got sick she’s the only person they could really go to)

Favorite relationship

if we’re talking romantic then undyne, obviously, but romance aside i’m really interested in her relationship with sans.  partly because we know so little about both of their pasts, and they canonically knew each other but papyrus canonically did not know they knew each other.  i make them siblings in robotchara, but that’s not all there is to it =) and i think these two disasters would have a pretty great dynamic.  depression buddies

(the fic never a lovely so real explores that dynamic a bit and it’s one of my favorite things)

Favorite headcanon

i don’t have a lot of headcanons for her that aren’t like, whole story premises, but i think my favorite is that she worked with sans and dr gaster when he was still alive.  there are varying levels of involved-ness in stories like that, but i frankly enjoy all of them

(partly because it gives her a role in sans-centric stories which increases her overall representation in fanwork…)
