Nya Ninjago - Blog Posts

hi are you feeling sad today let me cheer you up

just remember kai and nya exist and I promise everything is going to be okay

bonus happy points if you remember kai and lloyd’s big brother and little brother dynamic

warning spoilers ahead ( kinda)

we love ninjago. and I’m posting bc this needs to be brought to attention: NINJAGO, WE NEED MORE SIBLING CONTENT. romance? it’s good, I SWEAR I don’t have ANYTHING against jaya. but sibling relationships? Kai and nya? we need more.

hear me out: so many people are saying our poor traumatized green ninja that we all know and love is going to turn evil and lose it. valid theory, and quite understandable, and would make the remaining of season 16 quite interesting.I would LOVE another morro- like season, with Kai doing anything and everything he possibly can to bring back his little brother. If that happens, I want a scene. A scene where Kai is upset and nya comforts him, asks him what’s wrong. kai being kai blames himself for Lloyd turning evil, and suffocating himself in self hatred. Telling her it’s happening all over again ( like how he lost nya before, etc) I want kai to get UPSET and tell her he is sick of losing people, not being able to protect them. I want nya to comfort him like he always comforted her.

And if the whole lloyd-turns-evil thing never happens, then I STILL just want an episode ( another time twin-like season would be awesome tbh) just dedicated to them, for Kai to tell her how he felt when losing her to the ocean, how bad of a brother he felt and that he failed to keep his promise of protecting her.I want to see scenes of kai dealing with grief and why he even started teaching martial arts.

I want ninjago to stop just showing nya and jays bond. I want ninjago to show that the importance of kai and nyas bond is just as important, or even more so. I want nya to realize how much kai did and still does for her, and that the only reason kai even joined the ninja was to save HER. ( we really need to talk abt this more ). I want nya to realize what boundaries kai crossed to keep her safe. I want more scenes of their childhood that show Kai’s sacrifices and nyas upbringing. I want nya to realize all of this and thank kai and hug him and tell him she loves him.

I want her to tell him that he is the best older brother anyone could ever ask for. i mean seriously; nya seemed only worried about jay when the ninja were in court. WE DIDNT EVEN GET A SIBLING HUG WHEN NYA CAME BACK. IN CONCLUSION: WE WANT MORE KAI AND NYA.

Just Nya I guess

the boys go on a road trip

edit: added nya as per collineatos request

Ninjago Ship Thoughts

First and foremost I’m gonna tell you my head-canons for the ninjas sexualities since it’s probably gonna affect my thoughts on the ships.

Cole - Gay - the entire “dad I’m a ninja” is so fucking queercoded so that’s my reasoning.

Kai - Bi - this man primarily flirts with women but he gives strong bisexual energy and I stand by that.

Zane - Pan - I don’t feel like Zane has a strong enough grasp on gender for it to affect who he dates.

Jay - Omni - I feel like he has a preference for women but I feel in my soul that he’s at least had a crush on a guy before.

Nya - Bi - I don’t know if she’s ever had a crush on a girl but a girl has definitely had a crush on her and she would not be opposed to dating a girl.

Pixal - Pan - I feel like she has a better grasp of gender than Zane but gender doesn’t affect who she likes.

All other characters are up in the air for me. I lean towards seeing lloyd as aroace but I’m not certain. Anyway I’m with my thoughts. (These are in no particular order)

(Jaya) Jay/Nya - let’s start with a canon ship! I like how this relationship is portrayed in later seasons and they have some cute moments earlier in the series, but I definitely like there relationship post Nadakhan the best (I’ve butchered the genies name I know it) Jaya is sweet and I’m happy that Nya was given strong characterizations outside of her relationship with men overall I’d say this is a solid 8/10.

(Pixane) - Zane/Pixal - I love this ship so much, she has half his fucking heart and there both so great. Zane and Pixar are both fully independent who love each other and there so cute. I think one appeal of this ship for me is that I can see the both as romantic or platonic partners because they both mean so much to the other. Anyway love this ship 9.6/10

(Kailor) - Kai/Skylor - I love Skylor she’s super cool but this pair really only interacts once and awhile to briefly flirt before they just go there separate ways. Obviously both of them are busy so it makes sense that they don’t get a lot of time together. Kai definitely had a crush on Skylor and I think Skylor reciprocated those feelings. There cut and interesting but don’t have as much development as they need for me to be compelled to be invested. Solid 6.5/10.

(Llorumi) - Lloyd/Harumi - these two have a fascinating dynamic that I think is really fun to watch but I cannot see them as romantic partners. I know some people see them as siblings and I really don’t see them that way. And again there really interesting as a duo and while I want the pair to heal and improve there relationship I don’t really want them to date. Overall 5/10 cool duo don’t see them as romantic.

(Lloykita) - Lloyd/Akita - It’s pretty cute, I love Akita so I do hope we see her again. There relationship feels like a summer relationship they have this brief sweet period of time together and they leave on good terms unsure if they’ll ever meet again or if the other will still have feelings if they do meet again. I also really like the idea of these to being together in a queer platonic way. It’s really cute and I love both of the characters individually so it’s a pretty solid ship in my opinion. 8/10 it’s sweet.

(Conia) - Cole/Vania - it feels like a lesbian and a gay man being best friends. I love these two I think there great friends and could even see them being platonic partners but like I don’t see them doing more than that. Solid 5/10 cool pair don’t see it as romantic.

(Lava) - Cole/Kai - There so cool and I think this ship is really fun. I think that these two are both really great characters who mesh well I can totally see them dating and think it’s a really cute ship. These two are bonding over there weird ass family lives and crippling self doubt! These two are a cute pair 9/10

(Bruise) - Jay/Cole - these two are so silly and honestly this is a cute ship. I think Cole was definetley involved in Jays realization that he wasn’t straight. I think this is a cute ship but not one I have super strong feelings on 7/10

(Mudshock) - Jay/Cole/Nya - the best solution for a love triangle is polyamory. That said I wasn’t a big fan of the love triangle but in Ninjago since Cole didn’t actually seem interested in Nya, and Nya only was interested in Cole cause a matchmaking system said so. These three are definitely great friends who joke about the love triangle and hang out but I don’t know that it’s my favorite ship. 6.7/10 Cute but not great.

(Polyninja) - Jay/Cole/Kai/Zane - I think this is probably one of the greatest things I have ever seen. All of these characters are so close and care for each other so much. Together they can help each other grow and thrive. It’s really an awesome ship solid 10/10

There are lots of other ships I will talk about but I’m supposed to be doing my summer class final so I’ve gotta go try to be responsible. Anyway have a good day/night I love seeing comments so say hi if you’d like to :D

Ninjago Dragosn rising spoilers!

I’ve stated I love this season, I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun, humorous, and filled with interesting characters! The main charters Arin and Sora are really great I feel like they did a good job establishing them as characters and can’t wait to see more.

Lloyd was great! He’s one of my favorite characters and seeing him serve as a mentor was fun. I love that he got some source dragon powers, and I’m super excited for more world-building.

I love Arin. He’s hopeful, energetic, and determined, he’s interesting to watch and has a lot of potential to grow. I love how he learned spinjitsu and hope he isn’t revealed to be an elemental master. I would be ok with him becoming one via some external means but I really like the idea of this kid just learning spinjitsu through pure determination.

Sora was awesome. Also she feels trans coded with the whole changing her name and having to run from home. Her technological prowess is fun, and I’m really I trested to see more of her elemental power. Her backstory was interesting and she served as an interesting contrast to Arin in terms of how they expirenced the merger.

Kai and Nya. They weren’t there for long and while I do hope we eventually get a Kai focused arc I still found his interactions to be fun. Nya was awesome I was glad to see her and enjoyed that she has yet again found herself being a champion. I love RBG siblings and was happy that we had quite a few interactions between the trio.

The world-building was interesting and I’m hoping the merger means we’ll at least get to see Akita, and maybe some ghosts.

I enjoyed the story and am really curious to see what happens next!

bunch of headcanons under the cut <3

COLE J. BROOKSTONE

Cole Jurian Brookstone

Trans, gay

Lilly Brookstone

Lou Hence

Is secretly Wu's favorite (I don't make the rules)

After becoming human again, Cole was able to see (specifically out of his left eye) and hear ghosts ; sometimes he accidentally ignores his friends thinking they're the local ghost milkman

His sclera is greener since being a ghost

Water lowkey hurts; has to Cole MacGrath his bathing habits

After using the Spinjitzu Burst, the scars on his arms became permanent

Has a second mentor in Yang; dabbles a bit in dark magic and still uses airjitzu; isn’t negatively affected by it due to his time as a ghost

Becomes Arin's second semi-mentor following the kid's interest in utilizing Shatterspin (i haven’t seen s2pt2 yet)

Should he die of any unnatural reason, he will become a ghost and can (hopefully) restore his physical body

Scars easier

Following the events of Way of the Departed, the scar on his face spread to his chest; it also turned orange

(50/50) After March of the Oni, Cole became a living Realm Crystal as he had close contact with the Rift of Return (and Way of the Departed stuff) and the previous Realm Crystal was destroyed (with heavy restrictions, of course- can't make him too OP); he forgets he can do it half the time as it's not something he's particularly happy about

Oftentimes visits his dad to make up for lost time

Purposefully makes himself seem like a bad singer and (especially) dancer; he's actually pretty decent (y'all ever seen Falling For Ya from Teen Beach Movie? he would rock the shit out of that)

At some point, he moves to Shintaro to settle down

Owns two Maine Coons and a Great Dane back home

Beginning with Cole's grandfather, a curse of incurable via modern medicine sickness plagued his family- there is a cure (it won't affect the next generation), but all the ingredients are scattered across the realms - (explained better, modern illness that just simply is incurable with modern medicine- got the flu because of the curse? tough luck; medicine won't help)

His room in the Monastery is covered in paintings- he even has his own storage full of them

Naturally good with kids (this one is canon but I want to remind everyone of it)

A lot of his close friends are women- after Jay, Seliel is his bestie

He has an everlasting lily flower on his dresser; it shines in the sunlight; it makes him feel a mother's love and safety

Has a tendency to try to solve problems on his own (I.E., Way of the Departed); hides things about himself from the others (I.E., seeing ghosts and being a Realm Crystal)

Has a single fang from being a ghost

Heavyweight (alcohol)

Colorblind (deuteranopia) (after becoming a ghost, it shifts more to where he sees more green than red (is that how deuteranopia works i don't know the specifics of colorblindness :c )

Spends Day of the Departed with his dad, but visits his mom in the last hour

Favorite flowers are lilies

JAY C. WALKER

Jason "Jay" Collin Walker / Jason "Jay" Arc Gordon

Bisexual

Edna Walker (Maiden: Hoffman) / Libber "Libby" Gordon (Maiden: Primmer)

Ed Walker / Cliff Gordon

His blood is a better conductor than water

Lightning scars on the right side of his body; scar from Nadakhan on his left eye

Partially blind in the left eye

He will forever have that eyebrow notch- I will die on this hill

Always wears his ring as even if it breaks or he loses it, he can use his lightning to fix/retrieve it (I am a bruiseshipper; therefore, you guess who he's married to)

After Prime Empire, he's able to transport himself into video games (he cheats in games a lot because the other ninja refuse to attack him since it'd actually hurt him; after a particular streak of cheating the ninja opted for board games only for a period of time [a whole year])

He can travel through electrical currents as long as there is an opening- if there's rubber or any good insulator, he can't enter or leave the current (they have slightly cut open the wires in the Monastery for this reason)

Some remnants of the time he was snake are still present- he sheds skin and like to prank the others with it; has fangs and a slight venomous bite (if he so chooses, which he rarely does; does the amount of damage as coming down with a perpetual cold); tongue is slightly forked; lisps a little leading up to the shedding period

ZANE JULIEN

Zane Julien

Straight, demi/greysexual

Victor Julien

In the early days, Zane's ice powers would get clogged in his arms when used; later, in his titanium body, small heaters and proper water disposals were installed

Bleeds oil

Found and fixed the falcon- they have a connection; should something happen to Zane, he will automatically switch his conscious over to the Falcon- his eyes in the skies

Spends Day of the Departed in Birchwood Forest, meditating in his old home

Likes lighting incense sticks and candles- the Monastery always smells nice

When "sleeping" he reads himself bedtime stories in his head

His room is the coldest in the Monastery,

Birchwood Forest is essentially Zane's turf- he takes PIxal on dates there, including ice skating

LLOYD MONTGOMERY-GARMADON

Lloyd Montgomery-Garmadon

Bisexual. demiboy, asexual

Misako Montgomery-Garmadon

Garmadon

His middle name is actually a second last name (he normally just goes by Lloyd Garmadon)

Following March of the Oni, black marks appeared on Lloyd's cheeks to show parts of his Oni heritage; they grow when he uses his Oni powers, revert when back to normal

After Crystalized, horns (oni form!) will grow on his head when he gets angry/powered up (like Charlie from Hazbin Hotel!)

After Crystalized, he has a Dragon tail

Has wings post Crystlized; doesn't know how to use them and is too scared to try

Has sharper teeth via Dragon and Oni blood

Eyes used to be red, but are now green following his true potential (return to [dark] red in the moments in the show where his eyes are black)

Blood is red normally, purple when oni powers are in use, gold when dragon powers are in use

KAI P. SMITH

Kai Phoenix Smith

Pansexual

Maya Smith

Ray Smith (Maiden: Stoker)

Fire does not bother him; he can walk through it and be just fine

Pierced his own ears (he was thirteen)

Is actually the most emotionally intelligent when his ego and hot-headedness isn't getting in the way

Blood literally boils when exposed to oxygen

Can grab and eat things straight out of the oven; spicy? never heard of it- he can pop ghost peppers like it's nothing

Lightweight (alcohol)

Arms are very burned up due to having being completely unrestrained with his powers in the early days- has to bathe carefully to not disturb the burns; he is extremely insecure about this and is very strict with Wyldfyre

NYA R. SMITH

Nya Rayne Smith

pansexual/prefers women, demigirl

Maya Smith

Ray Smith (Maiden: Stoker)

After merging with the sea, using her powers turns her limbs into water (like Cole's Earth punch)

Takes hour long baths because water (she's been forbidden from taking showers because of the water bill)

She and Jay and Cole are besties

Blood is thinner than water

Heavyweight (alcohol)

Loves salty food and seafood

I’m new to tumblr ;-; hello peoples

happy 9th anniversary, ninjago!!

i am so glad that i am part of this fandom again. i love ninjago so much and i can’t imagine my life without it now like skshslbw. i love ❤️

i like flat colors the most tbh XD

lsjeosnzkw

i wanted to do a redraw from that one piece from september, but got carried away and yeah XD

but i kinda like it

imagine,, not liking her,,

cant relate

Come on By to the Ninja Ice Shop- run by Zane and Pixal! The manager of the Month is.......Cole! Restocker of our tasty original Ice Cream is Jay! And lastly for our cafe, our waiter is Kai! The Chef may be young but he runs, Lloyd! The boss Sensei Wu!

Guys hear me out we shouldn’t have Nya dying again.

Now don’t get me wrong I love the idea of Jay “accidentally” killing her (or just injuring her severely) as kind of a trifecta of times Nya has died. however. what I wanna see more is Jay dying because Nya either does not realise it’s him and thus doesn’t hold back, or she does and overestimates how well he can still fight. Maybe I just want to see Jay’s life force leaving in Nya’s arms for once yk

Something, something, I was bored.

My thought for the month was that Fugi-Dove only climbed the damn-poor tree to try to get Jay's attention.

"If the Ninjas came back to save the world again, Jay will come back to save me. And then we'll finish the villainy course so he can become my new partner!" — Fugi-Dove at some point in Dragons Rising, (probably).

So he climbed the poor-damn tree to call out to Jay. The neighbors were upset and forced him to get down, but he didn't know how to get down alone, so they had to call the Ninjas to get him out. He sulked the rest of the day because it was Kai who rescued him showed up, not Jay he even tried to "scare" Kai away only to keep calling for Jay, claiming that he would come to help him.

For the next 4 weeks he did the same routine. Climb up somewhere and shout out for Jay. Fail in getting his attention and by ended up being rescued by another Ninja. Things only got better when Nya grabbed Fugi-Dove by the collar and told him that Jay wouldn't come to him because he wasn't at the Crossroads, and actually, he was still lost somewhere in the Merged Realms. Fugi-Dove just gave her a sideway glance and walked away defeated. Six hours later the Ninjas received a call saying that Fugi-Dove had climbed another tree again, but now instead of screaming for the Blue Ninja he was crying at the top of his lungs.

I can't say I like the dove-guy, but he has his moments. Sometimes. When he's not being a creepy-half-idiot.

Wait a minute...

*Turns*

... *Look it back at the episodes names*

*Turns again*

... Dam.

What if Jay sacrifice himself instead of Nya?
