holy shit okay may have found a game-changer for web searches...with duckduckgo it's easy to turn off the ai features permanently, but regardless of engine there's the increasing problem of the search results themselves leading mostly to ai-generated articles on random ghost websites that say a lot without any information, and then the information they do give is contradictory or otherwise just wrong. this is especially a problem for me when trying to search for, e.g., a current list of the best products in a certain category.
finally searched for a solution and there IS in fact a giant hand-curated list of sites containing this content. it can be imported to ublock origin on desktop or mobile, and even can be used on iOS via the ublacklist extension in the safari app. it's updated regularly, and importing via the link as described should allow those updates to go into effect automatically.
i've only tested it a little bit, but after importing the list and repeating my duckduckgo search for backpack recommendations, my top results now lead to websites that appear to be linked to actual organizations in some form, with an "about us" page and the name of a founder and everything. the text is still often a bit wordy and SEO-optimized, but it now has actual recommendations that are relevant to the query. BIG IF TRUE???
please do not start talking about The Definition Of Art on this post, or Whether Human Creations Have Souls. i am very tired.
hello everyone i read resurrection fern by 3kanite (are they on here?? can i tag them??) on ao3 and this is a rendition of a moment from the bat shit insane first chapter (seriously what the fuck). i tried to capture johnnys disgust and shock and gyros utter confusion… man it was such a horrible thing to read 😭 so good tho 😭
the author is so incredibly thoroughly researched and wrote beautifully on many themes and bits about sbr that ive been pondering for a while now. honestly it was crazy to read characterizations and headcanons so shockingly similar to those i had in my head, especially the part about johnny drawing in his notebook which i just posted about 😭
i think my favorite thing was how they described the copious presence of the golden spiral in nature as a necessary constant reminder of beauty, and the connection of that concept to johnny and gyro’s alternate versions of each other blew my mind and made me cry. i also cried at sugar mountain part 2 where dead gyro says those canon final words to johnny ok bro twist the knife
thank you @ciel-bell, @daniildankovskyy, and @frajer-00 for the recommendation… you guys were right… THE came back wrong fic ever…
old idea i had where the dumbass trio just keeps acting like this every mission, and pixal with nya and lloyd keep stopping zane from joining them because it means he's gonna start acting stupid as shit too and they still lowk need smart version of him for the mission
This blog was created to post artwork for my Ninjago Rewrite fanfic, as AO3 needs me to link drawings in order to put them in the book. I will flesh out this blog in more detail later.
In the meantime, here are the design sheets for the fanfic.

Mr. Yaki (70s-80s)
Extra Characters
In order from left to right: Ms. Yuna (80s-90s), Tourist (22), 姫 (3), Nya (8), and Kai (10)
I may post the fic here on the blog, but I'll format that later. Here's the link to the fic in the meantime.
Okay guys call me crazy, but when i first watched this i got a crazy flashback. This scene weirdly gives off the vibe of the fight between Wu and Garmadon, basically the fight between dark n light, not "good vs bad" more like hatred and trust some kind of.
I'm still watching the new season, and it's so peak, guys.
Here are some drawings I made for a local alley here in Peru:D I was so surprised by the amount of Ninjago fans who came by, all my pins and stickers got sold!!
Heatwave is still healing. His breathing is less strained than before, and his wound is looking much better after Kai’s stupid, begrudgingly-cool rock trick.
Speaking of Kai, he’s awake, sitting, watching the dragon core glow. It illuminates his face in the dark like a fire, but without the cool flickering. It’s steady and uncomfortable, artificial, not a natural living, breathing thing like fire is.
“Kai?” She rubs her eyes with her wrist until she sees sparks and colours behind her eyes and then squints when he doesn’t respond. It’s weird that he’s awake. Weirder still that he didn’t respond to her. Maybe she missed it.
”Kai?” she tries again.
When he doesn’t respond the second time either. She feels a bit grouchy. Offended. Annoyed. She knows he’s awake, she can see the light from the dragon cores reflecting off the eye, almost white. She stands, giving him the courtesy of grunting and grumbling so he knows she’s awake and annoyed. She gives heatwave a pat and he responds with a low grumbling of acknowledgement back. At least someone isn’t ignoring her.
“Kai.” She says. Nothing still. So she speaks louder and with more growl. “Hey. Kai—“
It happens so fast she doesn’t see it.
One second he’s looking at the dragon core and the next his head has snapped to look at her, but it’s not Kai; His eyes are white.
His name catches in her throat. They’re empty. They’re too-wide. There’s no hint of pupils or anything else. There was no hint of feeling or a dragon—person. The hairs on the back of her arms, her back, her neck all stand on end.
Then he blinks, and it’s gone.
“Sorry,” says just Kai.” Were you saying something?”
Wyldfyre doesn’t know when her arms came up, posed, ready to fight.
Wylfyre was very awake now.
“Wyldfyre?”
“You were just…” She hears herself. Unsure, feeble. Very not-dragon. Kai’s looking at her. He looks like Kai. His eyes are brown with that warmth she’s gotten so used to seeing coming from them. He looks stupid. His hair is fluffy and soft. He looks soft. There’s no sign of what she had been so sure had been staring at her a moment before. It was so brief she couldn’t even be sure she had seen it.
“Nevermind.” Wyldfyre forces her hands down and clenches them at her side. “I’m probably just sleepy,” is what she tells him, to make sure he knows she’s still more dragon-ish than him. “Why are you awake like a weirdo?”
“Oh, hah,” Kai says. “Just thinking.”
She’s squinting at him. “You do that?”
When Kai smiles. And it’s annoying, warm and soft. “Sometimes.”
“Gross,” she says, crossing her arms.
“It’s quiet here,” Kai says. It’s out-of-pocket. It’s not really relevant. When he says it, he sounds different.
”Whatever,” Wyldfyre says, turning away. “I’m going back to sleep.”
“Okay,” Kai says to her back as she goes. “G’night.”
Heatwave rumbles as Wyldfyre crawls under his arm. She pretends to get comfy and risks a glance back.
Kai’s back to staring at the dragon core. His hair is over his eyes, blocking them from her view. But Wyldfyre thinks she still sees white between the strands.
