honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

so much plasma in the recent season leaks. im giddy. kai taking jays side in the argument on whether or not to find the pitmaster. kai mad as fuck when zilvar rocked jays shit. kai only backing off of zilvar when jay talked him down. im giddy.

YEAH This season was crazy for plasma!! Here’s most (not all) of their moments in both s4A and s4B (so spoilers ofc) with mild commentary . Platonic or romantic , they are adorable and I love them . MY DUO❤️💙

sometimes you have to sit down and decide "do i think this was a bad narrative choice or is this just the part of my brain that wants to see all my favorite characters end the story perfectly happy and thriving." and its surprisingly hard to tell sometimes because that part of my brain is loud as fucccckkkk.

"i know this show was made for children but i enjoy it too." > awesome and cool. watch whatever you want forever.

"i know it LOOKS like it was made for children but its SECRETLY for us. calling it a kids show is an insult cause kids could never understand these THEMES and EMOTIONS. we're the TRUE fans." > i dont think i trust your opinions. you seem lame as fuck.

my friend was testing perfumes out at the store and she sniffed a bottle and anounced "ngl this bitch kind of sucks" The girl at the counter suddenly looked really sad, and my friend was like "I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you." And the girl looked up and said "No don't worry, I didn't think that, but I just crushed a ladybug with my shoe" We both took a peak over the counter. she'd stepped on a red m&m

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

[taddymason]

I can't stop thinking about Jay being conscious in those brief seconds, knowing he was going to forget everything, with all the pain and fear he probably felt, and this strange guy telling him they were going to be best friends and he will be working there for life and him trusting that the team would come to rescue him 😭😭😭😭😭😭 and in the end he had to save himself ughghh

One of the aspects of the very first season of Ninjago that is so fascinating to me is how it separates the main character from the hero.

Our five main characters (yes, I'm including Nya in here even if she's more or less ignored at the beginning) all have to come to terms with the fact that they aren't the hero. They have to accept their individual identity and group role as the protectors of the hero... who ends up being the initial antagonist of the season, Lloyd Garmadon.

I think that's such an interesting dynamic- realizing that you aren't the person at the center of a grand prophecy and letting go of your dreams in order to be part of something bigger and greater than you alone.

And this continues into Season 2. Yes, Lloyd does get more focus than Season 1 (where he was mostly an off-screen prisoner), but I wouldn't say he is the main character of Season 2. Often, and especially at the beginning, the episodes don't really focus on him- they focus on the other ninja learning to train him properly. The main characters from the first season frequently get the episode's arc, while Lloyd is their goal.

And this continues through the finale of the Season. The entire final battle, Lloyd is fighting to stay with his friends... until they realize that it's their responsibility to push him forward, not stay by his side. The ninja are the ones making the choice to get Lloyd to the top of the tower, and he has to learn from their decisions and accept his destiny, rather than making that decision on his own.

This continues through Season 7. Lloyd does get some character development (such as his leadership arc in Hands of Time) but he's never the one saving the day. That falls to Zane in 3, Kai and Garmadon in 4, Nya in 5, Jay in 6, Cole in DotD, and Nya and Kai in 7. Lloyd fulfilled his destiny (to save his father) and now he's just... part of the team. He doesn't have to save the day anymore. He can be backup support to the others, just like they were backup support to him.
