Alright, everyone knows Arin and Sora's theme song, right?

I was rewatching season 3 while trying to find some clips, and at the beginning of episode 3, we see Arin holding a plushie of Lloyd, reminiscing on his time with the Ninja, while their theme is playing in the background. In the following episode, Sora, Lloyd, Riyu, and Frak are in the middle of their search for Arin when they decided to set up camp for the night. While Sora confesses how much she misses Arin, their theme plays again.

So why does their theme play when Sora misses Arin, but also when Arin misses the Ninja? Maybe, Arin doesn't just miss the Ninja, he misses his best friend who is still with them --- perhaps more than the Ninja themselves.

The background music always reveals more than what the actual scene lets on, and I love it!

Arin with the scroll of forbidden Spinjitzu (fic idea)

 from my understanding, the scroll of forbidden Spinjitzu makes the user powerful and corrupt them overtime as a side effect of them being consumed by the elemental energy. But what happens if someone without powers like Arin starts to use it for their own Spinjitzu techniques?

And with the added account of Arin’s shatter spin corrupting their Spinjitzu it would be very fun to think about if some of that were to play a part in their sort of corruption or not corruption!

My idea when I first thought about this was that maybe since Arin doesn’t have a physical ability maybe the scroll would amplify his Spinjitzu to a higher level like maybe his moves are more effective and maybe instead of corruption it’s helping him!

Alternatively, if you want to go with a more darker idea maybe Arin gets corrupted by his shatter spin moves every time he uses Spinjitzu and it gets worse overtime maybe forming in some sort of sickness or something from the lack of elemental energy balancing the scrolls magic in someway!

(I know that in Cannon it would probably do nothing because he has no powers, but it’s just fun to think about you know)

All in all, this is pretty short and I just wanna get my idea out there !

:D

(if anyone does decide to make this a real thing, please tell me or @ me!)

Do you think that Lloyd, if he was rlly tired or particularly comfortable with a person, would like say their name in the Oni or Dragon language? Like obvi the person can’t understand what Lloyd’s saying bc I headcannon you have to be Oni to speak/fully understand Oni language and you have to be dragon to speak/fully understand the dragon language (unless your someone like Wyldfyre and are trained to recognize and understand the language)

Anyway i think i’d be rlly cool if Lloyd would slip into Oni or Dragon languages bc it’s wired into him and overtime ppl close to him have learned to recognize certain sequences of noises as their names, phrases, or words. Maybe they’ve even gotten to the point where they know that that specific growl at that specific pitch means that whoever’s speaking is hungry or tired or smth like that. 

But yeah. The ninja using pattern recognition skills to match certain noises Lloyd makes to names, phrases, words, emotions, etc. When Lloyd’s really pissed he’ll scream in Oni which makes it 100x more terrifying bc Lloyd doesn’t loose his cool a lot, his anger is more cold and passive aggressive, so if he’s screaming and it’s in Oni (which already sounds pretty cursed) then something really bad happened.

(Arin has, on more than one occasion, tried to mimic the noises Lloyd makes to be able to talk to him better and has failed miserably each time. Lloyd finds it endlessly endearing and actually cried the first time Arin tried)
