Art dump of the things that I want to finish but I don’t have time (theta re mostly just sketches)(dunno why I am posting this just for fun)
season 7 might suck absolute ass (endearing) but i will stand by the fact that it has some of The Funniest lines in all of ninjago
Stained Glass Series: Time's Turnabout
Penelope Hellebore designs seasons 5-7
Seasons 1-4 Seasons 8-10
Story details under the cut
New theory that in season 7, Zane knew Pix was leaving the whole time, and just kept it a secret cuz she said she needed time away from the team which he 100% understood.
She had plenty of time to think it through while he was passed out, and then talk it through in his head while his speech was on the fritz. He could respond back to her in garbled nonsense which only she understood. With Pixal's habitual talking out loud in Zane's head that we see in this scene, I find it unlikely she wasn't verbally creating her plan to leave and save her father.
Zane staged the initial loss of contact after a mission, at a time he knew people would hear and observe him being confused.
Pictured: Zane making a ~confused face~ in front of at least half the team after awkwardly inviting Pixal into a group conversation (a thing that never happens)
He still has a bit of a mental breakdown without her, cuz he's not used to her being gone, so that character beat still works.
And when she shows up, he goes out of his way to help her. This can definitely be them subtly flirting with each other:
He asks if perchance anyone else was affected by the time shenanigans cuz he knows pixal is around.
Pictured: Zane already looking at Samurai X while asking if anyone else was affected by the temporal disturbance
Their eventual reunion doesn't have a lot of fanfare, just a low key normal hug with a half baked excuse for her absence, cuz they aren't actually surprised to see each other.
Observe this assortment of Pixane Hugs:
And then observe how much lower energy the hug in question is:
... I think it's possible. That's all I'm sayin.
As much as i like to entertain the idea that Pixal kept her Samurai X identity a secret for so long because she felt ashamed of departing from her established 'assistant' role in Zane's headset but also liked having a body too much to give it up, i do think the infinitely funnier option is that she just did it to fuck around with them. I mean cmon. Go rewatch season 7 and try to tell me Pixal wasnt having at least a little bit of fun dunking on everyone
hey guys! so i hear everyone hates s7 (hands of time), and as someone who really enjoys the season, i'm realizing i don't have much to think about for my rewrite :0 i'd love to hear about some general critiques of s7, what can be done better, or what just plain doesn't work, from all of you guys! cuz i just think its a funny season :] the funny sillies
(do also lmk if you'd be ok with me using those ideas as inspiration for my rewrite if i end up really liking the direction that goes in)
