Can I just say how much I love reading your reactions? Not just as a "hehe it's so fun watching someone react to something knowing how it's gonna turn out >:3" way (though that is very fun), but because your observations bring more joy to the media itself. You have such clever theories that are either correct (and make one appreciate the set-up and hints more) or are wrong but are still really interesting ideas worth exploring through AUs.
And your attention to detail? I never noticed Dallas' vehicle is yarn-based, but it's so cute, and you pointing it out makes me appreciate that continuity of character. And the berries of Ninjago's The Island is something I never caught, but makes the latter episodes make so much more sense. It turns a moment of "oh haha Jay's being oblivious because they're treating him like a gift, comedy character for comedy sake" into "oh sugar honey iced tea, they poisoned him and he's loopy from it", which is such a cool twist that doesn't degrade his intelligence as a character/ninja that should recognize a trap.
Anygays just wanted to say thank you for putting so much thought and care into your reactions, even with its our beloved silly little lego shows (because they do hold a lot more depth than meets the eye). Your reactions bring so much joy and they're always a blast to read :D
^////^ Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying seeing me attempt to puzzle things out, have fun, and being emotionally devastated.
Honestly a lot me attempting to predict things is knowing various tropes and cliches within the stories themselves and picking them apart. I love when I get things right, but I love getting things wrong more. Bc it gives me rethink what I know and try to figure out different ways to lay down clues and red herrings in my own work.
Detail is my thing. It's part of what I do at my job (besides scan in paperwork for upcoming and past projects). Some things I'll only notice by chance - like Dallas's car or the berries. The berries especially. I remember that somebody liked a post with Cole about to eat them and I went back and rewatched the scene of Jay eating the bowl of fruit, and those were the only thing he ate. So connections made there after the fact. đ
I can't thank you enough. I really do enjoy doing this. It's a lot of fun. And it makes me happy to know that, even for a little bit, I can make other people smile. đđđđ
Silly lego drawing request- Movie!Kai had way too much coffee and has gotten himself tangled in red string from his conspiracy corkboard (the one where he pins notes such as "the noodle shop is a mafia front" and "there's a half-bird person that flies over the school sometimes while croo-ing like a pigeon")
hehe nothing too crazy-
I added a few other theories I thought Kai might have. Teehee
Good ask time!! Did you know that in Posession, Morroâs ghost squad (Bansha, Soul Archer, Ghoultar, and my boi Wrayth who everyone forgets because he crashes his motorcycle into a watertower and only shows up again in the season final, he got ROBBED of the screen-time he was supposed to get) each represent one of the OG4 Ninja (Kai, Zane, Cole, and Jay respectively) in an attempt by Morro to emulate Lloyd/the Green Ninjaâs life?
What are your thoughts on those ghost side characters?
I actually knew about the parallel, but I don't . know which ninja each ghost is meant to parallel. They weren't The Most Memorable to me (besides Ghoultar, I love Ghoultar he's just like me fr fr) but I think they looked pretty neat so!
Hi, Ninjago fan here- sorry to hear about what happened in the other polls, that's stressful and not fun. I hope this funny little meta-analysis / mini fanfic about the first-round Ninjago boot helps cheer you up?
In the wake of the popular new trend of "colour duo polls" sweeping Ninjago City, one Jay Walker decided his claim to 5-minutes-of-fame resting in the first poll he could get himself nominated onto.
It must be easy to secure victory, he thought, scrolling through Spinblr for a poll to enter. If Kai and Lloyd can win first place and Sensei Wu and Lord freaking Garmadon can win second, then of course I can win too! I'd be shocked if I didn't.
He pauses in his scrolling, eyes lighting up like the lightning he commands as he spots his ticket to glory. The red and blue brackets? Easy! Sure, he and Kai aren't the most iconic duo combination of the ninja, but if Kai could win first against a duo from one of Mother Doomsday's bestselling comics, then this'll be a cinch!
Besides, Jay will be the one to carry the duo with his natural charisma and charm.
The plan is foolproof.
And so he nominates himself and Kai and sits back in his gaming chair, smug as a cat.
A week passes, and the brackets are announced.
Him and Kai against one of the most famous red and blue duos ever some nobodies? Oh please- it's almost laughable how easy this'll be.
The polls open, he submits his vote, and he jump up kicks back whip around and spin with a new issue of Starfaher.
Twenty-four hours later, he slides into his seat at the breakfast table, preen as a peacock. He shoots sparking finger guns at a very bewildered Zane, a bright smile at a skeptical Nya, and a cocky eyebrow-waggle at an exasperated Cole.
Lloyd walks in thumbing a green hat with an L a fan had made him after his poll victory. "Okay, why's Jay looking at everyone like that? What bet did you all lose?"
"They didn't lose," Jay grins, "I just won! Kai and I entered a poll!"
Kai slides into his seat. "Jay entered. I had nothing to do with this."
He's wearing his golden medal from the red and green poll, which is a little obnoxious, but Jay can let it slide, because he's too busy opening up Spinblr to see just how much he swept the bracket by.
Round one, round one... ah! There it is-
HA! 69.1 (ha, nice) % to 30.1% - those nobodies got absolutely demolished, the poor saps, hA-
...
Jay blinks.
He blinks again.
Refreshes the page.
Blinks a third time.
His team covers their ears.
Jay screeches.
"WE LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND?!?"
He stands with a start, pointing an accusatory finger at the screen. "BLASPHEMY! RANK BLASPHEMY! I CALL VOTER FRAUD! I CALL INJUSTICE! I CALL STARK BLASPHEMY-"
"I voted for Sokka and Zuko," Lloyd says casually.
Jay whips his head around to stare at Lloyd. "Betrayal."
Zane pats him on the head with an earnest smile. "I must confess, I voted for the other pair as well."
Jay turns to stare at him. "Blasphemous betrayal."
"Sorry," Cole says, not sounding sorry at all, "But I voted the other way too. Can't have your ego getting too big."
Jay gasps, clutching a hand to his chest. "The audacity! Nya, tell them all what an outrage this is-"
But Nya only offers him an apologetic look. "I... may have voted for the other side too."
Jay gawks at her. "Et tu, Nya?"
"She was jealous you got put on it with Kai instead of her and Kai," Lloyd pipes up. Nya blushes and protests, but the guilty side-eye she gives Jay speaks volumes.
With a loud complaining sigh, Jay collapses onto the table, draping himself over the wood. "In my hour of need, you all betray me. Blasphemous betrayal, the lot of you. Treacherous traitors. I thought we were a team. I thought ninja stick together!"
The others just give him a pat on the back.
Jay turns to Kai. "Kai, baby? You are the last person I can turn to for support. It's you and me against the world now."
But Kai merely claps a hand on his shoulder, smile as wicked as the Serpentine. And with three words, he shatters Jay's last hope.
"That's rough, buddy."
AAAAAAH I LOVE THIS!!!! Truly I am honored that you wrote fic for my silly little bracket I'm gonna sob TuT
âThis is the last one I swearâ okay but counterpoint your art is amazing and I adore the âShadow impersonates Red and is tagging along and gaining morals & bonds with the others along the wayâ concept and if your brain goes brrrr, then your brain goes brrrr
Hahaha thank you so much! Everytime I make something for the au I get more and more invested in it, and seeing that other people are enjoying it is so cool! So I'll probably end up making more stuff for it because it is still rotting my brain!
Iâve got a Villain M!Verse AU? Aka the Ninjaforce finally snapped after Koko got hurt in a Garmalarm and the civilians did nothing to help her and they a. destroyed Garmâs volcano and then b. took over the city
