Can't believe the fate that was in store for Blue M&M, so I had to make an edit

Four times, huh?

A mysterious comic has appeared in the abandoned fountain!

In Stars and Time AU where everyone is looping. However, each member can only remember the loops that they personally reset.

So, everyone thinks that they're the only one stuck in a time loop. The only person who actually knows what's happening is Loop, who is having a very frustrating two days.

Siffrin: "Since I remember, isn't there a chance? A chance they'd all remember?"

Loop, who just had this conversation with Isabeau last loop and is currently trying to bottle up seven different layers of anger and exhaustion: "... Who, your party?"

I'm imagining Odile determining that she's currently in loop 24 despite knowing for certain that she's only looped back four times so far.

Mirabelle pretending that she doesn't know about the Carrot Method shield skill when Siffrin tells her about it before thinking, "Wait a second, they shouldn't know about that either!"

Bonnie trying to zone out of the conversation about what to do should any of them die (it doesn't work).

Isabeau recognizing that for some reason everyone seems a lot more tired and stressed than they were at the beginning.

I thought of this as a funny concept and wondered how long it would take for the party to communicate with each other before realizing that, if they don't talk about it, they're going to find out at the end of Act 3.

Death in Ninjago is funny because it (by nature of it being a kid's show and them being shown as Legos) can't usually show people being stabbed or killed by weapons. The characters have to die in either one piece or in so many unrecognizable pieces, but that often leads to some horrifying implications.

Like of course we can't show Zane fully blowing up when he dies, but we can have there be nothing to bury other than a piece of his faceplate!

Harumi died in a building that crumbled around her and was resurrected on the ground floor crushed by a piece of the building's support. No blood, so it's a-okay!

The show can fully show Morro's corpse because it's an intact and silly-looking skeleton, but it also implies he died because of a cave-in got him stuck in an area that quickly filled with a highly flammable gas, which would've been an awful way to go.

Lloyd was fully crushed by a door, which is definitely on the list of bad deaths that would hurt like hell. But he's in one piece and gets resurrected, so it's fine; everything's all good.

Or you could be unlucky enough to be Mr. E and be torn into six different pieces on screen. But he's a robot so it's fine.

Loop uses they/them the same way you say, "Someone left their wallet behind." There's a constant disconnect and unfamiliarity with them, even when they're referring to themself.

I've come to make an announcement: Stone's a bitch-ass motherfucker. He sealed me away in an indestructible prison. That's right, he transmuted his second heart, and he said the material was "ENTIRELY INCOMSUNABLE." And I said, "That's insufficient!" So I'm making a callout post within this petty sorcerer's mind: "Stone, you've got a cold, dead world. It's the size of a star except WAY smaller." And guess what, here's what my form looks like: PFFFGHT. That's right, fool. Giant wings, inspirer of terror, corruptive influence, look at that it is the withering itself. The Primordials fucked me over so guess what, I'm gonna FUCK THE WORLD. THAT'S RIGHT THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, MY SUPER CORRUPTIVE CORE. Except I'm not going to corrupt the world, I'm going to go higher. I'm devouring the SUN! How do you like that, LADY? I'LL DEVOUR THE SUN, YOU IDIOT! You have twenty-three hours before the p u t r e f a c t i o n fully takes over the fucking world, now get out of my fucking sight before I corrupt you too!
