In seventh grade, Jim Carrey's teacher offered him 15 minutes at the end of each day to perform stand-up comedy for the class, on the condition that he remained quiet during lessons. Carrey used this opportunity to share material drawn from his life, the class, and impressions of faculty members.
Found my old notebook from seventh grade and it has a full page dedicated to headcanons I had/have for Jay……. You know what that means!!
*First I’ll state all the headcanons, then I’ll comment about them
Deliberately did a poor job whenever it was his turn to clean to manipulate Zane into doing it instead
Isn’t the biggest fan of sea food, yet frequently pretends to like it (specifically in front of Nya)
Frequently oversleeps
Terribly afraid of spiders and giant animals
As a child was incredibly energetic and restless, often exhausting Ed and Edna
Still, nobody is aware of his adoption for the sole reason that he’s scared of having a meltdown if anyone asks ‘how do you know?’
Picked up driving faster than the others
Feels the need to make any serious situation/predicament into a joke, otherwise getting severe panic attacks
Bought a silly pajamas for 3999.99$ (aka got scammed), and isn’t allowed to shop at all (offline/online)
Has a collection of shiny stuff that Maya threw out, mistaking it for trash
Mild anger issues
Used to brush his teeth 5 times a day or -9 times
Bawled when watching Lion King. *After finishing the movie, Kai compared Jay to that crazy monkey
Star is his favorite shape
Shiny colors? Shiny colors!
Keeps handmade gifts
And now for my opinion….. if you have a different opinion of mine (like something I don’t/vise versa) and want to comment, but feel like you shouldn’t, you’re totally welcomed! Don’t listen to me, speak your mind!
Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. He doesn’t need to ‘manipulate’ Zane, and Zane is smart enough to pick up on it. And if not, Cole and Kai will pick up after maximum two days (if you have siblings you know that you always search where your sibling is, to see if they’re also doing a chore to make sure they’re (God forbid) resting while you’re working) and tell Zane and get revenge on Jay. That scheme will not last for more than three days. Bonus: Jay confesses he just doesn’t know how to do it and Zane warmly offers to teach him
Somehow even more stupid? What led me to think about this? I would’ve agreed if only we would’ve known Nya was the water ninja before Possession. I can totally see Rise of the Snakes through Legacy of the Green Ninja Jay doing this, but it makes no sense if nobody knows about Nya’s powers. So, just no. (*because it’s out of character for Possession Jay to pretend, and I really want to believe Skybound Jay isn’t this pathetic)
Gyatt dammit. Funny how I wrote that then yet today I headcanon that he ‘never fully sleeps’ and even if he does hit the deep state, it’s never for long (I won’t elaborate about why, I think I reblogged some smart post talking about this and have been obsessed since)
Love the reminder I’ve always been a Skybound fan. You know what, Sure. I’ll humor you, younger, silly me. Sons of Garmadon with that crab? Yeah. Jay had a panic attack behind a giant rock. Adam from Master of the Mountain? Jay couldn’t sleep for two days.
Totally. Great headcanon! Lightning never sleeps. Enough said, your honor!
I wouldn’t say ‘nobody’s aware’… I’d like to think Nya has a vague memory of him screaming about his adoption back at the island (I headcanon that post-turning back from losing herself and her memories, she forgot most of Skybound thanks to my wonderful moot). I’d like to think he told the team, but keeping it a secret seems cute. Surely, Ed and Edna knows, as well as Wu
Sure. Why not, honestly. He had knowledge from video games, most likely travelled using a bicycle/motorcycle he built as a kid/teen, and is a fast learner. Seriously, cool
Way to state the obvious. Are we Joppy from seventh grade or Nadakhan from that one scene, am I right you guys? Plus I think a ‘panic attack’ is a little of an exaggeration of his situation. I would like to say that in stressful situations he often has the need to crack a joke. In case the situation isn’t fit for a joke, he plays in his head self-degrading jokes
NO. JUST NO. SHUT UP. He’s a very intelligent, smart, and most importantly, TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED man. He would NEVER IN A BAJILLION YEARS fall for a scam. He probably programmed that scam if anything!
Uh…. Sure? I’d like to think of Jay as a hoarder (he literally grew up in a junkyard), and one day he was like “So pretty…” and started collecting. Probably stuff from their adventures! (Like stolen a little something in Legacy of the Green ninja, the last episode (I think) WHATEVER THE BEQUEATH EPISODE, got himself a golden tooth from Misfortune’s Keep, stole Morro’s remains— there’s a lot of possibilities!)
Again. Canon. Get original dammit.
Makes no sense, not sure what I meant by that. I probably meant that he either brushes his teeth 48 times a week (double than the required/normal/advised amount), or he brushes his teeth nine times a whole month. Uh…. No….? The ninja probably have a routine of doing things like that together (probably as a competition to start the day with a punch), and as a kid I believe his ma always reminded him of self-care (based on her screaming for water in Hands of Time)
I never watched the Lion King. Idk why I felt the need to headcanon this, but now I headcanon the whole team secretly hate that movie and agreed to never see it. something about it being ‘overrated’ (Kai secretly watched it) (he was ignored for a day) (Zane and Pixal secretly watched it together) (their crime is still unfound)
Superstar Rocking Jay based. Love.
Okay that I have no idea. I think I meant neon colors or something, but I think I was referring to something about Superstar Rocking Jay?? I don’t know what to say since I have no idea wtf does it mean
Cute. I’d like to think he has a special drawer/place to put everything he got as a gift that was handmade (it’s mostly full with things from his ma)
Message to all my girls who are really into downtown girl fashion this year-
Yes the style is cute
No you don’t need to change your personality to match
No you don’t need to change your interests to match
You dont have to like the smiths to wear big jumpers and leg warmers. You don’t have to be quiet and mysterious all the time. You don’t need to be a hopeless romantic or a hater. You don’t need to love reading always.
You can be an extrovert and snarky and summer toned and still wear brown pleated skirts with doc martens. You can like math better than English. You can not gaf about the piano or the smiths or poetry.
You do not need to be the entire persona to like the style there is no restrictions or disciplinary action that will be taken if you don’t have wired headphones.
I guarantee you will be a thousand times cooler if you’re being your authentic self while wearing pinteresty outfits you love. Please just take your leg warmers and piano skirts and move on.
And for the love of god leave the cds and vinyl ALONE
When I was in seventh grade, in my honors literature class, they had us read Unbroken, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Lord of the Flies. I was twelve. TWELVE.
