They are not painting cole as someone who "wants" to keep his families separate wtf? Just because you guys are biased against the finders does not mean the writers are biased towards them.

DRS2 PT1 POTENTIAL SPOILERS

I'm not sure who "you guys" is meant to be referring to considering I am the only one who has expressed dissent against the Finders of this variety, but here we go.

Whether you like it or not, there is evidence in the show of Cole considering the Finders and the Ninja to be two separate families. There are more than one examples of this:

-Cole saying IN DRAGONS RISING SEASON 2

This single line, whether you like it or not, implies that Cole's line of thinking has shifted to considering the Finders as his primary family and not the Ninja, and this is a fucked up line of thinking for me personally. And I am allowed to have this opinion.

-Cole not telling the Ninja about his father. This is a small thing, but he does have a history of not telling people about his previous families. It is a pattern, albeit a small one.

-Cole NOT telling the Ninja about his mom??? Hello??? He loved his mom???

Look, I will be the first person to say that I can be pretty obstinate and set in my ways, but this isn't right. None of this situation when put in this context is right. Because treating either one of your families like that is fucked up. I am someone who has grown up and is in one of those families, and it hurts, and it is not a good way to treat people.

Whether Cole is aware of it or not, he does think about the Ninja and the Finders as two separate families, who cannot coexist. The writers are not biased against the Finders, but they have made Cole look like he is biased against blending the Finders and the Ninja together, and that is not a good look for him or for them.

Geo should've had an inkling of who Nya was. Bonzle should've recognized Jay to some extent. The Ninja should not be strangers to the Finders, but they are, and that has implications whether you would like to admit it or not. Cole has not told them about the Ninja, just like he didn't tell the ninja about his mom and dad until he absolutely had to, and that isn't right. That is what I don't like about this situation, not the Finders' existence.

I apologize that my opinion has made you feel like you need to send in an ask, but unfortunately I am entitled to my opinions regarding this situation and you cannot change how I feel about it that easily. Thanks though.

Shoutout to everyone whose stopped by my inbox to trick or treat! You guys are real ones ^^ I made this in like five minutes help-

Lost-shipping hater found in the wild??? Go back to tcktok chucklefuck. You're not wanted here. Imagine being against the first canon gay ship in Ninjago

I'm going to go ahead and assume that this ask was sent with the best of intentions because I can <3

It's not canon. Heavily implied does not equal canon, sorry not sorry.

I am not against it because it's a gay ship. I do not like relationships developed off-screen where we cannot see the development; it is an issue of me being invested rather than it being a bad ship. I'm not invested in it. I don't care. I love Geo, I'm not invested in the ship. Who cares? You, apparently.

I've never been on TikTok and quite frankly I'm scared of the community over there because I value my sanity.

Do you KNOW how many people are invested in my fics? I'm pretty sure this little corner of the community would notice if I took everything down and went offline. Sorry that people might not notice you gone.

I only expressed that my opinion about Cole's behavior regarding the Ninja and the Finders is biased because I am inherently biased against his relationship with the Finders. That's it. If people are allowed to put Jaya under a microscope and disregard then I am absolutely entitled to my opinions regarding lostshipping.

I'm allowed to have my opinions. A ship being gay does not absolve it from being scrutinized and disliked. Disliking a gay ship does not make me homophobic, try again. And say it to my partner's face this time.

So I know Jay has a thousand children now, but may I suggest adding to the family. . .

HOW WE FEELIN JAY FANS

HI MISCHIEF WELCOME TO THE FINNBOX

HOW AM I FEELING. WHAT A QUESTION.

Considering I've written 10 days worth of Whumptober prompts in one day and they're all Bruise-related, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GREAT

I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THE STORY QUALITY and even though I'm disappointed that we got so little screentime with Jay I am very glad that they're choosing to do his (and Cole’s!) story right by making them the focal point in s2.

BUT ASSHOLE JAY???? RETURN OF THE RED HAIR???? HE'S ROLLING HIS S SOUNDS LIKE A SERPENTINE (in my opinion and from what I can tell)????? GOD YES FEED ME FEED ME FEED ME-

MY OFFICE THEORY BEING FUCKING RIGHT I FEEL SO GODDAMN VALIDATED LIKE YEAH THAT WAS ME I CALLED IT! BUREAUCRATIC HELLSCAPE LET'S GO!

WE ARE FINALLY GETTING JAY WITH A VILLAIN ARC AND IM SO EXCITED!! THE JAY STANS ARE WINNING FOR ONCE IN OUR LIVES! THIS IS HISTORIC!

[finn-m-corvex]

Why do you head cannon that jay is short/nickname of James? (I really like name head cannons and was curious)

To be very honest, James is the more fanonically correct version that I wanted to adhere to in the rewrite, but it is not my first choice! I genuinely like the name James (it is the last name of what will eventually be the main character of my first novel) and I love how James Walker rolls off the tongue.

But my first choice is actually Jacob! I headcanon Jay as growing up in an ambiguously Jewish family (either ethnically Jew or very removed religious Jew) and that Jacob is a reference to that. I also just really like the name Jacob (once again, future name for what will be a main character in a novel I write).

I also really like name headcanons and love names in general so please feel free to stop by whenever <3 I love seeing you in my notes!

jaya college au?!? EVEN BETTER! tell me more!!

OF COURSE! I haven't talked about it in a little while!

Mechanical Hearts is my (entirely too) self-indulgent college AU with Jaya. Cole and Jay are adopted brothers and work out of a mechanic's garage in Ninjago City; Jay is going to Ninjago City University for a double major in mechanical engineering and chemistry, and Cole has already graduated with a geology major and business minor. They can't afford for Jay to live on campus, so he commutes every day.

Nya lives on the campus as a social justice major with a full-ride scholarship. Pixal is her roommate, Kai is enrolled in the metalworking department on an internship, and Zane is Pixal's boyfriend / Kai's math tutor / Cole's old roommate. Wu is the head of the physical education department, and Lloyd lives with him on the campus and trains with Kai.

It's basically a story where I am literally projecting my whole life story. Jay's arc is him going through a mid-life crisis and realizing that maybe the path he thought he was going to follow isn't right for him anymore. Nya's arc is similar but with a dash of body dysphoria and gaining her self-confidence back (bc a semi-chunky Nya is my entire soul). The others also have small arcs, but Jay and Nya's are the big ones!
