I'm apparently pretty good at ranting about Ninjago but sometimes I struggle to think of a topic. Please feel free to suggest ideas for things you want me to analyse in Ninjago or just something you want to see fanart/ fanfics of :)

Been busy with studying but recently I’ve been thinking about a certain terrible ai “show” and it reminded me how something simple like fruit can give inspiration to those with actual creativity.

Pomegranate always makes me think of the Greek myth about Persephone eating pomegranate seeds and being forced to live there half the year. Also the leaves reminded me of laurel crowns.

Pomegranate originates from northern India and Iran (according to google) so I decided to try make her look northern Indian.

I also decided to make her a bit larger to reflect how round pomegranate is and also the fact that larger bodies used to be appreciated in the past.

Motion, you are not making yourself any less suspicious.

“Yeah crazy how the conduit found out about all this, but you know he made the right choice. I mean it’s not what IIII would tell him to do but good move, ya know?”

misako has zero obligation to stay with garmadon. why are we still having this conversation in 2026. she deserves basic autonomy.

[skrunklydoo]

reggie showing the fandom what an actually bad explorers club parent looks like

[skrunklydoo]

please stop commenting "ermm yeah but they're still a shitty person/still did this and that" on character analysis/defense posts. i genuinely cannot care less than i already do

[miniminttea]

Thought about Misako before even having to see the tags. People will say with a straight face that she abandoned her son like bro I don’t think you know what that word actually means

[yhwcomeback]

some Enemy Lloyd x Lloyd, learn to love yourself i guess LOL

[miniminttea]

Yes I saw the new season, yes I’ve exploded. What do you mean Harumi and Lloyd and Akita became a polycule and then Jay left Nya for Kai? Wild stuff but I trust the writers

[skrunklydoo]

wu purrs. that’s it that’s the post

[miniminttea]

Alright, time to write an essay about that one part of season four…

[eisenkrahe]

Last year JK Rowling personally funded a group called Sex Matters to amend UK law so that trans women *overnight* went from legally women to legally men. This has resulted in mass exclusion of the trans community from numerous organizations, along with ongoing violent assaults on both trans and cis women alike.

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

In fact, you are cordially invited to eat shit and die.

Hiccup Haddock sketch because last time I drew him was before I could draw at all not terribly

Hawaiʻi is currently in the midst of a natural disaster if you didnt know

Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

I need to know people are seeing whats happening

Thousands evacuated as Hawaii faces worst flooding in 20 years

"Don't take this storm lightly," Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned on Saturday, as more rain is expected on Oahu and Maui.

[miniminttea]

Finally have some time so I got some sketches done

Can you tell I have favourites?

[miniminttea]

Tried something different

I want to get better at backgrounds so this was a sort of test at that

I imagine it’s Kreel coming to the crossroads for the first time, tho the character doesn’t really matter

[thestoryteller-thedreamer]

Oooh hoo hoo this ending is chilling.

I wish I had been apart of the fandom when it first aired, because I can only imagine how people exploded at the end of this episode.

For Lloyd's last coherent thoughts to be filled with Harumi as she stalks toward him, singing the song I can only assume haunts his nightmares- gosh, how horrifying.

And those nightmares, the ones that alternate between heartbreak as she betrays him, to terror as she raises his father from the dead, to grief as he watches her die- how is he supposed to tell what's real or not anymore? Yes, people come back from the dead all the time in Ninjago, but usually it doesn't take quite so long and Harumi, he watched Harumi die, he knows there is no way she could've made it (but he never saw the body...)

And now Lloyd is blaming himself because maybe if he had found her, if he'd been the one to rescue her, maybe she wouldn't be trying to tear apart Ninjago again, maybe he could've helped her heal…

Once again, everything is his fault.
