no pressure tags @wistrical @nickelwick @galacticliv @ezras-left-thumb & anyone else who wants to join! (so sorry if i forgot someone i'm out of practice with mutuals tagging ;-;)
IDC if u think Airjitzu is bland and came outta nowhere, when the opportunity for a ship name is THAT golden, u lowk gotta accept that it will exist and it will be clearing every other ship.
And the rest of the ninja haven't slept much more. The evils of 20 episodes worth of action over only 4 days of in-show time.
This chart is purely based on what the ninja spent their nights doing. It was back-to-back action, especially on the night of that Thunderfang fight. They could have rested during the maybes or the day though!
I think Kai, Jay, and Nya probably found some time to rest either in the monster or in the administration. Similarly Lloyd & Arin could have napped in the Whispering Woods and Wyldfire, Frak, Sora, and Riyu could have found some time in Umbrasilvis or Dawnland. Still, in none of those scenarios were they getting more than a few hours.
20 Episodes over 4 days of In-Show Time
Here's my detailed list of the events based on the day night cycles. My thanks to Agent Underwood for giving me a starting point for the days of the week. ("Casual Friday.")
So crazy that in the span of 4 days:
Arin left Ras, found his parents, and started crushing on Euphrasia.
Jay realized his love for Nya & regained his memories.
Cole excavated a god, died, and went to prison.
Lloyd found Arin's parents, defied the gods, discovered the whispering woods, and underwent the trials.
Zane had a life-changing vacation.
Ghosts, Elemental Monsters, and the Empress wrecked havoc on Imperium - new Ninjago City over here.
Certainly a record. If it was up to me, this would be longer, but they show every single night and day cycle. I think the events of episode 11 - the funeral, Zane/Pix vacation exit, the journey start - could theoretically not all be on one day, but even that episode starts with showing the Thursday night soul stealings.
The vaguest thing here is when night was for Kai, Jay, and Nya because they spent so much time in windowless areas. It could have been when they were waiting for dawn in the monster's belly, but, considering the portal split happened Sunday Morning, I doubt they spent 24 hours there. Night could have also happened while they were waiting for Rapton or before they went to the Administration.
I really don't love back to back action like this. It's fine in the short-term, but I kind of wish it had taken them a month or so to journey back from "the farthest corners of the merged realms." To be fair, I think Ras was just lying to psych out Wu.
Hopefully there's more of a break between part one and two. Or at least time for these guys to sleep, because if not they might actually die.
Bonus Chart: Ninja Grouped by How Much Sleep I think they got
Vision Naps Only
Lloyd
Naps Only, but they're Normal Naps
Sora, Wyldfire
Stayed up for 3 days Straight
Frak, Arin
Only missed a Night of Sleep, but Died
Riyu, Cole
Only missed a Night of Sleep
Nya, Jay, Kai, Zane
Well-Rested
P.I.X.A.L.
I turned the maybes into yes/no based on speculation. I don't think Ras would have let Sora/Arin sleep during the journey. Lack of sleep is a great brainwashing tool. I think Zane kept watch for Lloyd, therefore letting Arin sleep. I think Kai, Nya, and Jay either slept in the belly or while waiting for Rapton.
I also think most of the ninja all had times for naps in one point in their journey or another. The kids had some time in Umbrasilvis/Dawnland. Kai, Nya, and Jay had the monster's belly. Lloyd wouldn't have napped on his own accord, but fortunately got knocked out by visions.
The important thing here is, by the end of the finale, Lloyd, Wyldfire, and Frak have not had a decent night's sleep in 4 full days.
I'm serious when I say we gotta give Temmie Chang half the credit for Making Undertale (and Deltarune)
She's got an animation degree, I know the art in Undertale gets underappreciated sometimes because it's trying to evoke an older simpler style, but the art in Undertale is legit amazing and without Temmie, none of Toby's ideas would have been able to be realized (without finding some other artist and animator)
She deserves more flowers for being the one who made the vast majority of the art assets for an entire game that is one of the most commonly cited games as an influence on others (her style is so beloved and recognizeable, there's a fully complete Undertale fangame emulating it)
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.
Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining
This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.
Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes
Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”
Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”
When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?
And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
ALWAYS REBLOG WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS PLEASE; ITS SO MUCH MORE THAN IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE. IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO SOMEBODY AND EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THIS IN THE SAME LIGHT, SOMEONE MIGHT. INFACT YOU REBLOGGING THIS COULD STOP SOMEONE TAKING THEIR LIFE TONIGHT.
These numbers are important to know! They have saved my life more times than I want to admit. And if you don’t want to call these hotlines, message me! I will help you any way that I can. Or talk to someone that you can trust.

since this is going around again i want to clarify that this post is about cancel culture. more specifically the type of cancel culture that results in long callout posts and mass harassment and doxxing of random internet users that up until an hour ago believed you were their friend. nobody is perfect all the time. nobody is secretly evil and just waiting to show their true colors. you look at someone who has had a rough day and said something slightly misguided out of frustration and instead of reaching out it’s abandon ship immediately and anyone who doesn’t is going on a blocklist. what the hell are we doing here.
there are people in the notes asking “ok yes but how do i stop it” good news! it’s actually easier to stop than it is to perpetrate. the method is called “talk to your friends if they say something that surprises you” and “don’t participate in mass cyberbullying”. we are creating a subculture that cares more about appearing righteous than they care about learning and growing as people
The irony of this new breed of self-righteous AI hunters on AO3 is that they're all just copy and pasting peoples fics into AI detectors, which are all operated by AI and therefore THEY are feeding people's work into the algorithm without their consent and in some cases no doubt circumventing the locks people put on to avoid getting scraped...
Don't copy and paste anyone's AO3 work into third party websites, you're not the good guys in this situation?
Not to mention, there's no such thing as an ai detector.
Writers "sound like ai" because ai was trained on the writing of actual living people!
Real writers use em dashes.
Real writers write long paragraphs.
Real writers play with words and sometimes use phrases that are well known or to compare one thing to another.
Real writers use all these things, have used them for decades--centuries, even!--before ai was programmed.
These ai bots were trained on writing readily found online--fanfiction, marketing, and any other work the ai programmers managed to shove into the data processors.
AI WAS TRAINED ON OUR WRITING TO BEGIN WITH
Stop accusing people of using ai based on these 'detectors' that don't work, and just make you look like an asshole for feeding someone's writing into the machine in an attempt for a gotcha moment.
Knock off the witch hunts. Odds are you're accusing an actual writer of something incredibly hurtful and disgusting, and may completely destroy their will to write because of it.
It's hard enough to be a creative person in the fandoms these days, don't make it harder by going all rabid guard dog on what you think is ai. Because you're very likely wrong.
