We got the twins again, and it’s actually something sweet!
Ignore my horrible background, i didn’t want them just sitting in the void tho ._. ANYWAYS. This photo is the last photo of them both as ninja btw, and it was taken the morning of The Merge (ye kinda angsty :,)
I tried making Sunny’s gi as close to the style of the core suit as possible. I also took some creative liberties with Jays suit to make it blend better with hers.
Been awhile since I posted, but here’s the Double Trouble AU! This is an AU that @the-hero-of-sass and I have been working on lately! Figure I would just post all the art I’ve done for it thus far.
The Dib's have their own names we use to differentiate between the two, Plaid being on the left, and Crypt on the right.
Plaid and Zim live in a bit of a nicer version of the show universe, but other than that most things are the same. They're in their early 30s, Plaid a college professor for Earth Science.
Crypt, on the other hand, has lived a life of only torture. His universe is like, comically and impracticably terrible. His Zim (Zio) is slightly less defective, but enough so that he still targets Crypt instead of taking over Earth. Zio is incredibly smart and evil, with absolutely no mercy, and does whatever he can to destroy Crypt's life.
(TW Transphobia)
One thing we had planned that Zio did was out Crypt as trans to his family and high-school. And, because its a rotten timeline, there's hardly anyone who's actually supportive of that kinda thing. So once there seems to be some trans acceptance in the media, Zio goes and brainwashes everyone to think it's bad. Crypt basically has to just figure it out on his own.
So, eventually Zio throws Crypt through a wormhole. He ends up in another dimension, and stays with Plaid and Zim, but not before Crypt attacks Zim out of anger dhdjdhdh. There's more to how them meeting goes, but that's the jist of it! Basically the 'person A goes from abusive place to supportive place and is treated how they deserve' trope :)
Wow this took me forever to start doing. For plot twist/ surprise reasons, not every detail will be explained here. BUT. I really want to info dump about my OC, Sunny Walker :D
(This long post will include some OLD drawings, but i don’t have many options :/)
MASTERS OF SPINJITZU:
Sundara Walker, Sunny, is the twin of Jayesh Walker, Jay. (yes i gave them full names, sue me.) In the Pilots and first 2 seasons, they are 15 years old, making them the second youngest members of the ninja team, the youngest being Lloyd. Jay has him regular canon role, while Sunny plays a role more like Misako and Nya.
She’s a helping role, that tends to research more than defend. She’s valuable for this, as she’s more available than anyone else, and therefore is usually the outside contact for business deals and advertisements (like in season 6). Sometimes the ninja forget her value in the team, but Jay is quick to remind them (big bro to the rescue!)
Canon doesn’t change much with this, up until season 11. While trapped with the ninja in the Neverrealm, she accidentally used her portals to save the group. Because of their situation though, they weren’t able to focus on this aspect until the end of the season, back in the monastery.
Season 12 is where she begins to hone her powers, practicing a lot. Prime Empire put a wrench in things, until the end. Instead of Jay flying through the gateway back to the real world, Sunny unlock her true potential, open a portal back to real life, where together they stop Unagami. This starts her official career as the Portal Ninja.
For fluidity purposes, her role in the remaining seasons until Dragons Rising are just to be paired with another ninja, providing easy escape and long-range attacks. Her power also allows her to physically hold miniature portals that she can throw like frisbees, and they’re very sharp.
DRAGONS RISING:
Just like Jay, Sunny was lost after the Merge, and even lost her memories. The twins stayed together, working for the administration and Ras. During their stay with Ras, biological and family secrets were revealed, and they uncovered their Stone Oni side. (This is where it starts to really diverge, but not too much.) Stone Oni’s are a subspecies of Oni, which have enough dragon blood to differentiate them from regular Oni, and therefore were cast out.
While the twins stayed together for a while, morals led them apart, and after the Tournament of Sources, Sunny returned with the Ninja to the monastery. She hadn’t participated in the tournament, but she had been watching.
She spent her time trying to regain her memories, and training to use her elemental power better. She had rarely used the Wolf mask, so her goodness was easy to unshatter. (headcanon that you can reverse shattering your goodness with love, bleughhh).
She and Jay began to start having arguments after Jay began to stay at the monastery, mostly him being stubborn about staying mysterious and aloof, and her trying to convince him to change. Nya was a pillar of support for Sunny during this time and vice versa.
Season 4 of DR had them splitting up again, with Sunny staying back at the monastery with Cole and the finders. She kept the monastery in check in lieu of Mr. Frohicky. The end of the season, she joins the final battle by following Cole, aiding where she can.
Sunny is overjoyed to have her brother back, but the issue still stands that he got his memories back, but she didn’t. Jay now frequently rambles about every memory he gains, in hopes that it sparks something in her. It never does. She feels guilt that her brother tries so hard, yet she can’t feel anything for missing memories, instead trying to focus on new ones.
This maybe change as we get more season of Ninjago, but for now this is where we are.
Bonus, a little family backstory!
FAMILY HISTORY:
Cliff and Libber Gordon are the parents of Jay and Sunny. Libber’s maiden name is Dark, and her past is… fairly unknown, which never bothered Cliff. Libber was the previous Lightning master, and Cliff was the previous Portals master. Whether or not he knew was anyone’s guess, but not many others knew.
When the twins were a year or two old, Libber mysteriously vanished, and Cliff was unable to properly care for the twins by himself, so he sent them to some friends who were close by, Ed and Edna Walker. They were like Lobber’s Suedo Aunt and Uncle. The twins grew up with them, and Cliff kept a close eye on them.
This is all the Lore side of Double Trouble, but i’m going to roblog with some extra drawings and bits and pieces, so that will be soon.
I finally redid the Early Jay and Sunny designs because i hated jays ugly hair. Also gave Sunny a charm to wear that’s actually a matching bracelet with Jay.
Yes, this is a lmk pose (tumblr tanked the quality :,(
This takes place in season 6, hence jays destiny suit.
I think i’ve mentioned it before, but up until season 11, Sunny was basically the on-call informant of the ninja. She did a lot of research on various artifacts, magic, and very little in history. Zane was good at quick facts, but she did in depth stuff.
Even when she became an official Ninja, she was still very educated on a variety of subjects (but she never really learned to read or write. She uses a lot of text-to-speech).
Lastly, although highly valued for what she does, sometimes the ninja are, to no one’s surprise, stupid and don’t believe her when there are plain facts. Jay is protective and will knock some sense into the others by defending her. It’s pretty cute :)
I had a ton of fun doing him. Maybe one day I’ll come back to it to redo his hair, because his hair is THE WORST to draw T^T but that’s besides the point.
I took a few creative liberties on very minor details which I think add to his character personally
