They/Them | Old Person | If you're an irl friend who found this blog, no you didn't | Secondary blog of a stressed-out Illustrator where they can talk about their Ninjago hyperfixation in moderate secrecy. Pfp by @ingulo-agualo. Banner image by @answerthevoid 💀 I am cringe, but I am free. 💀

My completed fic: Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die, now has a cover! I felt like it deserved one to cap it off after all the love I poured into it. You can read it here!

Ship: Echo/Morro

Tags: Hurt/Comfort, 100k+, Morro Redemption, Found Family, Angst with a Happy Ending

Summary:

Morro couldn’t catch a break, could he?

He believed he would finally rest in the Departed Realm, but instead, he’s mysteriously thrust back into the realm of the living again. This time, he’s stuck in a very unfamiliar body... his own. Just as he left it.

Deep in the Endless Sea, a robot was abandoned in a lighthouse.

What home could there be, for ones so replaceable?

Hi! I'm Robo, an illustrator who also dabbles in writing fics! I first watched Ninjago with my partner, and loved it. I gained a new hyperfixation that has usurped my brain for over two years now.

I've noticed that you have been posting significantly less since I last said anything. Context, It is I, the person who was concerned enough about how much you post to ask if you were okay.

I presume that you've been getting sleep. Good job! Keep it up!

Pfft. You’re not far off actually. I got my very important meds back after like a year and I can finally hit a REM cycle again, so I have actually been sleeping more. I’ve mainly been busy working on commissions, catching up with friends and family after a big move, and taking care of an injured family member.

I’m still working on more Ninjago fanfics, but they’ve kinda taken a backseat for now while I focus on everything else!

RIGHT, HELLO, ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THIE BUT THE DTIYS DEADLINE IS UP.

Due to issues, some people have messaged me and said that though they'd like to, they can't participate. Which is fine!

Ah,, only one person submitted, which is the ever-amazing @bumblebeeenby !

You win by default lmao! But that doesn't matter because seriously, this is actually so amazing I'm still entranced by it. I love the attention to detail and just how good it is! It's beautiful.

The prize was a fully rendered image of a ninjago character or oc, so message me and I'll draw whatever. Thank you so so much for participating, and to everyone who planned to but couldn't make it. Cya :D

[bumblebeeenby]

Ah yes. Winning by default. The best way to win.

💕🍭DTIYS WINNERS🍭💕

Everyone did a wonderful job drawing Lloyd! I'm sure he's happy to have gotten all that candy! After all he's been through, he deserves it.

There were entries from 26 people in total (wow), and from that list, I used a random number generator to select first, second, and third prize winners in ascending order! Keep in mind, winners were selected randomly. If you didn't win anything, please don't take it as an indication that your entry wasn't "good enough" in any way.

So, without further ado...

Third Prize (one character sketch): @qwakadoodle

Second Prize (one flat-colored half-body drawing): @howuart

Grand Prize (one fully rendered character drawing): @starwhipnspin

Congratulations to the prize winners, and thank you to EVERYONE who entered! You help make this fandom awesome!

[bumblebeeenby]

Thanks for 300 followers! Everyone’s been so nice, and I love being in this fandom! To celebrate, I’m hosting a DTIYS! :D 💖🍭🍬

Rules:

@ me and use the tag #Bee300DTIYS

Draw a Lloyd! He can be the one featured above, your own design, or whatever! The only real rule in interpretation is YOU MUST GIVE HIM CANDY. Let my boy have his candy! You can add other characters, make sequential art, sculpt something, make needlepoint, whatever! It’s all good!

Winners will be chosen at random, raffle-style. I do this with DTIYS challenges to encourage less experienced artists to participate too. It’s not a skill contest!

The deadline is May 20th!

Have fun!

Prize pool:

Top prize: One colored and shaded character drawing!

Second prize: One flat, colored half-body drawing!

Third prize: One character sketch!

[bumblebeeenby]

It’s the last day to get entries in! I’m closing them at midnight, Pacific Time!

Any time a firefighter sees Kai Ninjago on the street they attack him immediately. In fact when you apply for a job as a firefighter in Ninjago you have to sign a waiver confirming that you are willing and able to fight Kai at any given moment. Defeating him in hand to hand combat is the only way to get promoted to fire chief

If this is the case, then does that mean that seismologists can only get their Ph.D's by defeating Cole?

And for that matter, can electrician's only get their licenses if they can manage to contain Jay's lightning?!

I don't know what's going on with ninjago I gotta catch up with that

[bad-facsimile]

drawing fanart of a character and then having a blog centered around that character reblog it is such a validating and underrated experience tbh.

[raccoonboywrites]

“This character is dead in canon” to you. They’re dead in canon to you. To me they’re fine

[skelettes]

“This character is dead in canon” then explain to me why they’re still running around and living rent free in my head.

yeah no sorry about your boyfriend, he was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves no matter what. yeah no he has a bunch of self-sacrificial tendencies, he wielded the most powerful abilities in all of the realms in order to defeat satan and let himself get exploded 60 years into the past, into another world, where he committed genocide via manipulation. yeah no your boyfriend did genocide. sorry. no one will ever address it or hold him accountable though if you still love him or something.
