Welcome to the Skyward AU!

Skyward is an AU fanfiction of Ninjago season 1 + 2, in which the ninja can change into dragons via spinjitzuing.  ft. canon divergence, alternate/additional powers, worldbuilding, and of course Water Samurai Nya my beloved :D

This blog is for me to organize my thoughts on the fic, but it’s also for anyone who’s a fan of this bad girl or who wants to see what it’s all about!

stuff to check out:

art: scribbles and doodles by me and other people!

updates: chapter word count, expected update dates, progress reports etc.

snippets: sneak peeks, lines I liked, etc.

behind the scenes: what goes into writing Skyward! from things I’m researching to rants to ideas I’m bouncing around

scrappies: stuff that, for whatever reason, was cut from the final version of Skyward but I thought was cool enough to share :D

writing: additional fics for the AU that aren’t part of the main story

profiles: in-depth profiles of the different characters!  not spoiler-free!

I think that Cole should be able to talk to rocks. I'm fully serious, I think that he should be a able to draw two eyes on a rock and have a full conversation with it. If Nya can talk to sea animals because of her element then why should Cole not be able to talk to rocks and critters?

[heyimcelery]

He talks to rocks and the rocks talk back through like ground vibrations but all the ninjas just think he's either crazy or doing some joke that's gone on too long and is no longer funny

[bootychomper]

YOU. YOU GET IT!!!!!

I also think Lily should also have had this power, and she would talk to the rocks at home and Lil cole would just watch her, and then when he realized he could do it too he would just think back to his mom and think "huh. So mom wasn't crazy"

Also the especially old rocks remember Lily and the previous masters of earth, so sometimes they just go "oh yeah I remember when (earth master 3 generations back) gossiped with me, great times"

Chat when I work on Skyward again should I write chapter 59 or go back and give chapters 7-30 a fresh coat of paint

Forge ahead

Fix the cringe

cp 57 sneak peak!!

text below cut:

‘The last time our clans faced Him, we failed because we weren’t united.  I was a fledgling then.  I was there.  I know.  But there is strength in togetherness!  You can testify to this yourselves.  Are you not one clan of many?

‘Together, we have a chance of stopping him.  Separate, we’ve already lost.  And don’t think that sitting this one out will protect you.  As soon as he’s done with Ninjago, he’ll come for you.’

gotta get 57 out soon to #capitalize on canon dragons woot

its at like 2.6k rn?   and maybe like 60% done!

[ninjago-skyward-au]

got it up to 4k but then i decided a section worked better as another character’s pov so we’re back down to 3.5.  would estimate 75%

[ninjago-skyward-au]

4.6!!  we’re probably at a solid 85% now; expect an update (tenatively) by the end of the week :D

Characters are allowed to make stupid decisions, it just has to be organic
