Me: Sees that we have ninjago au
Also me: Whomst has awakened the ancient one?
Anyways, first off, Fundy get to be the green ninja, as a treat. Also, I just want Tommy to have an awesome character arc where he comes to respect and love Fundy.
Dream can be either Garmadon or Harumi. Both work honestly. I feel like Wilbur would be some kind of long forgotten elemental master that Phil abandoned, ooh, ooh, maybe he could be like Morro. That would be really fun and not at all traumatizing for Phil. Maybe that's how we can include Ghostbur too, because then defeating Wilbur would mean killing Ghostbur.
Tubbo take Jay's role because yeah, he does that. He also represses so so much.
I wanna say Eret also kind of takes the place of Harumi, becoming best friends with the group, only to stab them in the back.
I'd honestly say for like roles and stuff, it'd be Tommy=Kai, Tubbo=Jay, Fundy=Llyod, Puffy=Nya because both are awesome, Sam=Cole.
Ranboo can be some random stray they find on a mission that Tubbo immediately decides to marry, but surprise surprise, he's a sleeper agent for Dream. This will end well.
Also, Quackity gives me Pythor vibes. Dream can go after Tommy, and Quackity can go after Fundy. Because those two characters aren't already traumatized enough in canon.
And if Wilbur takes Morro's place, that means he either ends up possesing/manipualting Tommy or Fundy. Both work honestly and make it so, so much worse.
Sorry this is a ramble. I guarantee you I'm gonna come back with more ideas. I love Ninjago to death. Seriously, I am willing to carry this whole AU if I have to.
Whew, okay, this ask was from a While ago before we revamped the au, so i'm gonna answer this to the best of my ability!
Jack is actually our green ninja, so tommy's arc is with him. But we can still have an arc of tommy and fundy bonding! Fire vs. ice, so naturally they have a bit of a rocky start to the relationship (plus fundy is a robot built by wilbur, and tommy has No idea how to deal with that). They make it work, though, and tommy learns how to fix his hardware without frying all the wires.
Dream is a serpentine, alongside the rest of the dteam and sam. They're a little fucked up but they haven't killed any humans yet so that's a point in their favour.
Eret is actually our skylor! Master of amber, part-time employee at a noodle restaurant, full-time traitor :DD. They get tommy to confide in them, especially after niki was taken, and then turn their back on the team because whoop-de-doo their father is a villain. Fun!
Ranboo as a sleeper agent? I actually love that. I don't remember if we gave ranboo a role yet so let's do that :>
Wilbur isn't morro but dammnit if i'm not a sucker for the possession trope. Oh goodness these kids are gonna be so traumatised.
