THIS

EVERYTHING OP JUST SAID

THIS IS WHY I LOVE NINJAGO

THIS IS WHY I LOVE KAI

THE ULTIMATE BIG BROTHER

Can I just say something I really appreciate about Ninjago?

I really, really appreciate that they didn’t fall into the “Kai being overprotective of Nya’s love life” trap.

Like he’s an older brother who has one of his most important traits being his protectiveness. Hell, he joins the team to rescue/protect Nya. It would’ve been so easy for the Ninjago crew to default to that trope.

But no, Kai is completely supportive of Jaya—in fact he’s one of their biggest supporters. He literally helps Jay practice asking Nya to be his yang. He’s genuinely happy for one of his closest friends and his little sister. And I just think that’s a nice subversion, and it’s great they didn’t make Kai an overbearing, overprotective big brother.

Especially after the Samurai X reveal, Kai recognizes Nya can handle herself, and I like that he never oversteps into her love life.

I honestly love to see it.

it’s honestly scary being a fan of usagi miyamoto/yuichi whilst being in the rise fandom and not shipping leosagi,,,because it feels like everyone and their grandma likes it. like I’m sorry!! Don’t kill me please

"Sun & Moon"

Next chapter of Miwa AU is out!

Characters' handwriting in rise (in episode order)!

"Mystic mayhem". Splinter's handwriting is very unique and cool! Love how angular it is, his "o"s are more like triangles

"Origami Tsunami". It's not shown who wrote these signs (multiple turtles?). We see mikey put the "paper on sale" sign up but we don't see him write it. However, after gathering all the samples of the turtles' handwriting, i couldn't find one of leo's and this sloppiness doesn't quite match donnie's, raph's or mikey's, so i'm inclined to say this is leo's handwriting

"Shell in a Cell". Donnie's signature. Donnie writes in cursive in "origami tsunami" too

"Stuck on you". Raph's consistently shown to write in all caps. Also he wrote this on his right palm. Is raph left handed? But! In "pizza puffs" raph writes with his right hand. Maybe raph's ambidextrous orrrrr the artists just forgot

"Pizza Pit". Mikey's handwriting. His letters are offset. How interesting! Mikey writes in all caps in "bullhop" but a bit neater

"Warren & hypno, sitting in a tree". I LOVE that we can see this evolution of april's handwriting through the years, or at least her signature, from elementary school to highschool. I also love that we see her without her jacket

This list of shown handwriting is far from comprehensive, unfortunately, but handwriting is a great opportunity for characterization that i think's often overlooked. Idk if the crew sat down and chose unique handwriting styles for each character but that'd be cool if they did! I noticed most of the handwriting in rise is all caps across characters

that awful feeling when you write a whole fucking essay of a comment and then your FUCKING. DEVICE. DIES. and you know it ps gone you know it is but you turn it back on anyway and stare the empty little box and can’t help but feel like you’ve lost something, I put so much into that measly little comment. It was at least. 4 paragraphs. I’m gonna. Break something
