Like bro doesn't have an elemental power, yet manages to be special due to the form of spinjitzu he ended up creating while learning spinjitzu by himself through observing what the ninja did (which we all tried to do as children), he gets to be trained by Lloyd to become a ninja, he fanboys over the ninja to a level that it becomes an autistic hyperfixation, he keeps representing the fandom with the fanboying, the "Zane" haircut thingy (tfym like half of you didn't try to get one of the character's haircuts as a kid I swear some of you tried), his backstory literally being normal child gets lost in the merge alongside his parents and befriend a cool catgirl mechanic, the list goes on like HE'S THE Y/N OF THE NINJAGO UNIVERSE FIGHT ME
Now onto our next set of characters, the twins Wendy and Abigail. Read their story under the cut!
After Abigail’s tragic passing in 1914, Wendy could no longer live with the grief and followed her sister down that same cliffs edge. Maxwell, already well acquainted with the Codex Umbra and shadow magic, decided to sneak into the graveyard with his assistant Charlie to dig up the graves of his nieces.
It took many hours, countless days but soon he was able to bring them back with only the faintest of tells that they had been dead. He hid the secret from his brother Jack and crowned the girls as the twin Nightmare Princesses of the Constant, who now rule beside him and Charlie.
relatedly, this is always a fun question: "am I having trouble when it comes to other people because of the 'tism, because I'm not from this world, because I'm traumatised, or because all these things are related in a way that creates the most uniquely disabling challenge possible"
Everyone was like saying that they were going to do Conventional Weapons or MCR5...Mr.Frank Iero looked at this and just went in with a Steel Chair named May Death Never Stop You, and tbh i think he is doing gods work.
BILLY HARGROVE HAS NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE THIS. the overflowing joy and connection with another human being. nothing like this. it’s that same type of feeling he chases when no one is looking, sticking things up his nose and what not. but this comes for free, completely unprompted. it’s electric and feels breathless and warm all over. it’s the ocean, getting lost in it. fresh and rejuvenating. billy hargrove finds himself at a place he won’t be able to look at in the same way. behind the shade of some greenery. no one came to this spot, unless you were horny and had found someone. this isn’t that. not necesarilly. billy wouldn’t treat it just like that. still, there’s sand underneath his back. curls hot, against steve’s thigh. summer heat hitting in a different kinda way. dangerous, the thrill of it making everything much sweeter. everything golden. the water the background music to whatever the fuck they are doing right now. they’re talking because that’s a thing billy does now, he talks. at least with steve, and tells him stupid stories about campfires at the beach and van drives so long he nearly hurled and it doesn’t matter what the fuck he is saying steve seems content, seems to think he’s funny or something and he laughs, he legitimately laughs and it fucking drives billy insane. like he wants to put the keys turn the engine on and drive off the cliff. they’re sharing a coke bottle like they’re something (sweethearts, like they sweethearts billy wants to say wants to think but he isn’t letting himself anywhere close to that.) and like he is thinking about this.
he is thinking about the fact that this is not forever, steve is leaving at some point. but billy cannot give a flying fuck, because the sun turns everything to gold, and over the few days it seems like there’s now streaks of the sun in steve’s hair, like cali’s taking him in and cali looks so damn beautiful on steve harrington. he feels like his chest wants to cave in. but it doesn’t he just lays there. the sun hitting him and warming him and doing nothing to the butterflies in his stomach, his hand wipes the hairs out of his forehead. and he giggles like he’s a girl, and like steve must be a hit with the girls back home, because if he wasn’t billy wouldn’t be swooning right now about it. talk about a guy. plaguing his every thought. fucking hell, fucking hell, fucking fuck. and like he gets an idea and billy hargrove should stop having ideas, he should stop taking steve to places because it would mean associating this place with steve and holy shit if that’s not putting himself on a tough spot he wouldn’t fucking now. he licks his lips and opens blue eyes to look up from the spot were billy’s head is at. “-so you totally suck at skating, are you any good at swimming, harrington?” it’s a moot point. billy knows a swimmer’s back when he sees one. it’s teasing, billy smirks, like he’s won something. like it’s a challenge. everything still golden, turning rosey.
Adding on to more Red White and Royal Blue bullshit: The reason I am now SO set on believing this movie will be good is because of an interview I read with the director, Matthew Lopez. I trust this man IMPLICITLY for three reason and here they are:
One: he’s one of us. He’s a fan. He’s a HUGE fan, and he’s a QUEER fan, which is so important on so many levels.
Two: He TOOK HIS GODDAMN TIME editing and re-editing and going over and SLAVING OVER this goddamn movie. THEY FINISHED FILMING ALMOST A YEAR AGO. THIS MAN NAS PUT IN THR WORK. Taylor and Nicholas poured their souls into the acting and Matthew poured his soul into the cutting and piecing together. THIS MOVIE WILL BE A LABOUR OF LOVE FIGHT ME.
Three: I’ve said it, but let me elaborate: Matthew is LITERALLY us, a fan, a HUGE fan. According to that interview, he read the book and immediately knew he HAD to be the one to direct the movie, and that if he wasn’t he would cry. Can you count the number of times you’ve read a book and thought “damn I wish they’d make this a movie” AND THEN HE GOES AND SAYS WELP IF THEY WONT I WILL.
HES LIVIN TH DREAM
He’s bringing all our dreams to life as well fight me
This movie will be amazing FIGHT ME
ok I’m done now
TLDR: My faith in the red white and royal blue movie has been restored and also shot thru the roof and I need august to come yesterday
