https://www.tumblr.com/miramelo/757563700778614784/commissions-are-open-as-of-rn I got this amazing commission done of my DnD character SMOTO, a warforged gunslinger (space cowboy) by my amazing moot Melo, they have open commissions for a month, go support them :D

My contribution to @zaptrap's 1000 follower DTiYS! Go check her out, her artwork is SUPER COOL!!!

That moment when your reprogrammed murderous semi-boyfriend best friend tries to murder you with a knife and you go "nah, it's dance party time" and tie him in a tango so he can't stab you

Made some fanart for @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off's absolutely amazing fic Wobbly Hearts (inspired by Chapter 10), go check it out!!

You can almost see the exact moment while colouring that I remembered there's an official fic reference for Kai haha (also I know he has gloves, I just really wanted to doodle, well, doodles)

Bizarro Ninja Names

So. Question to all my fellow ninjago fans.

What are your hc's for the names of the bizarro ninja from Double Trouble (or additional ones like for Lloyd & Nya)? I'm really curious what people call them and why!

I'll start the thread with my own hcs that I made with a few wonderful friends

Bizarro!Kai -- Aki Forge -- his first name is an anagram of "Kai" (and means 'autumn', where the leaf colours match that of fire) while his last name Forge is both a "forgery" joke and a synonym of "Smith"

Bizarro!Movie!Kai -- Kaigami Julien -- first name is a pun on the name "Kagami", meaning 'mirror', last name is because they get adopted by the Julien family because he's a nindroid built by the Mechanic

Bizarro!Cole -- Loce/Chronos "Chons" Bournrock -- Loce is an anagram for Cole, the chemical formula for coal is C₁₃₇H₉₇O₉NS , or "Chons", and a bourn is a small stream synonymous with brook, as in Brookstone, plus it sounds like "born (of) rock"

Bizarro!Movie!Cole -- Charcoal -- Cole sounds like coal, this one is... pretty easy to tell the origins of ajfksalfjka, he's a clone made by movie!Vangelis who wasn't going for creativity

Bizarro!Zane -- Nane Hawk -- Turn the 'Z' in "Zane" sideways and boom, Nane (which also means 'no-one' or 'no-part of a whole'). Hawk is an alternative to a falcon

Bizarro!Movie!Zane -- Oread "Oreid" -- oreads were mountain nymphs in Ancient Greek mythology and is the type of nymph Echo was in mythos (and we all know why the name Echo is relative to a Zane); in this universe, he's a nindroid built by Garmadon's enginerds with seagull features for peak obnoxiousness (and yes, that one seagull laughing meme)

Bizarro!Jay -- Cage Steller -- Cage sounds a bit like just the letter "K" (plus a 'g'/'j'-like sound) , similar to how Jay sounds like "J", and works as a birdcage reference ; and a Steller's Jay is a type of jay

Bizarro!Movie!Jay -- Jayden Walker -- I think this one is obvious too, he's an oni who ran away from the First Realm & gets adopted by the Walkers after copying m!Jay's identity as a human disguise (think V from The Owl House)

Bonus:

Bizarro!Lloyd -- Dyoll/Floyd -- Yeah this is another reference. No it isn't creative. Yes it's funny. Yes it's also an acronym like the others.

Bizarro!Movie!Lloyd -- Christofern -- Y'all know why. Except he's an oni/part oni made of magic (and maybe a tiny bit of magic tea (leaves) so uhhhh surprise m!Lloyd you have a half-brother on your dad's side

Bizarro!Nya -- Yan/Nereid Forge -- Yan means 'beautiful' and is an acronym of Nya while nereid are sea nymphs from Ancient Greek mythology (and the same Forge 'forgery / smith' reference applies as it does with Aki)

Bizarro!Movie!Nya -- Kujira -- means 'whale' and may have been a potential word inspiration for the name "Wojira" ; a merlopian clone made of magic by the Followers of Wojira to help awaken the sleeping serpentine goddess

Bizarro!PIXAL -- Byte -- 'the basic unit of information in computer storage and processing' and a play on words like "gigabyte, terabyte, etc.'

This is Jayden! He’s my OC stand-in equivalent of a Bizarro!MovieJay.

Basically, he’s a full-oni who lives in Onitoryū, a continent in the movieverse that is the equivalent of the First Realm (I hc’d that the realms were different continents in the movie long before Dragons Rising happened lol). He got kicked out of his pack because he can’t shape-shift properly (they took care of him when he was really young, but now that he’s the equivalent of a human teen, his lack of shapeshifting ability and changing times with Dragon Hunters and Imperial trade going crazy, he puts the entire pack in danger).

When Jayden shapeshifts, he still retains some of his oni properties— ex. he still has (a) smaller horn(s), his tail, his hands still have claws and a gradient effects, his teeth are still sharp, etc. He’d need the right blueprint to base his human form on to pass as human… and that’s where Blue (movie!Jay) comes in.

See, Jayden wandered Onitoryū on his own for a bit, then had a bad incident with a dragon (see: his broken horn and missing eye) and some Imperium Claws (see: the chain scar around his leg) and fled. He managed to find a port-town and sneak aboard a tourist ship using the excuse of his oni features as “fake costuming for Onitoryū”. Unfortunately, the same excuse wouldn’t work in the ship’s destination: the continent of Ninjago, specially the capital Ninjago City.

And so Jayden needed a new disguise, and along came the perfect one:

- Fluffy hair to hide smaller horns

- A big scarf to hide his teeth

- A big puffy hoodie that he can hide his tail under with a pouch pocket to hide his hands in

The only problem with using Blue’s form as a disguise (minus the social issues as one of Ninjago’s most hated, but Jayden is used to being treated as an outcast and never had any friends or relations before either) is that he’s quite a deal shorter (and has human anatomy to get used to) but otherwise he’s the perfect template.

So perfect, in fact, that Jayden ends up running into one of Blue’s friends and passing as Blue himself and not just someone who looks like him. Jayden gets a taste of friendship and it’s oh-so-addicting.

So logically, he does what any sane and normal person would do, and maybe-sorta-kidnaps Blue a little. Just for one day. In an empty warehouse not too far from the ninja base, which Jayden stocked full of supplies and blankets and other things. It was only supposed to be for one day, just so Jayden could live a day in Blue’s shoes, one day of friendship and loving parents and normal human activities.

But Jayden got hooked, and one day turned to two, and two to a week. The guilt is eating him up inside but he just can’t get himself to leave— he’s so affection-starved that the tiniest physical contact or verbal affection leaves him giddy. Good thing Blue is normally clingy, because Jayden is latched to the sides of each of his friends.

The thing is, depending on the timeline… most of Blue’s friends have ALSO been replaced by ‘bizarro’ equivalents of themselves. Red (Movie!Kai) was replaced with Kaigami, a nindroid (and bby bean) built by the Mechanic with no memories of being a fake or a nindroid. White (Movie!Zane) was replaced with Oread, a seagull-themed nindroid built by Garmadon’s enginerds. And Black (Movie!Cole) was replaced with Charcoal, a clone made by Vangelis of Shintaro.

So anytime “Blue” acts off, the suspicion on him by Cyan (Movie!Nya) and Green (Movie!Lloyd) is lessened by the fact that the other three OG4 members are also acting a bit off.

Eventually Jayden can’t take the guilt anymore and flat-out confesses instead of his earlier plan of simply letting Blue go and quietly vanishing. Blue, Cyan, and Green are mad of course, but Blue sees why Jayden did it (and sees that the kidnapping thing wasn’t malicious or evil, just an impulsive move by a very desperate and affect-starved traumatized oni) and accepts his apologies.

Jayden winds up adopted by Ed & Edna and lives a very happy life in Ninjago City— he also winds up dating Charcoal and Oread (Kaigami is much younger mentally so that’s a nope) and is the most cuddly bf ever.

Some bonus hcs:

- Jayden goes by (he/they) pronouns and isn’t opposed to using Neo pronouns either

- Poor guy is terrified of dragons from his bad experience, he can smell that Green is half-dragon (and half-oni) and totally thinks Green can smell he’s an oni back

- He purrs when happy— it sometimes has a bit of a chittering noise mixed in

- His tail is so long he can use it like a climbing rope when he climbs with his hooves— or get it slammed in doors easily

- His eye glows in the dark! Very terrifying to find him perched on the furniture of a dark room. When he’s disguised as Blue (or anyone with two eyes), his normally missing eye doesn’t work

- Once he gets a good bath, his fur becomes so fluffy and soft

- Human anatomy confuses him

HAND OVER YOUR ONI OCS

NOW 💜

Hi hello, i hope your day is good. Anyway because i am a G a y n e r d, i wanted to ask if you would like to share your bruiseshipping lego movie hcs? If you’d like too of course, I just think their neat :D

Hi!! I would absolutely love to share them, it's very neat and I am also a gay nerd (well, bi <3)

So Blue (movie!Jay) is a bundle of anxiety who originally falls for Cyan (movie!Jay) for about 10 seconds when he firsts until he sees her lesbian pin and respectfully backs off (he does remain awkward around her for a while because he just thinks she's really cool).

His crush on his best friend is a lot longer than 10 seconds. Now, none of the Dorksquad are necessarily "subtle" about anything (looking at you, "Can I have a bathroom pass?"), and Blue is no different-- with the sole exception of flirting with his crush. Blue is really, really good at getting Black to hold his hand, wiggling his way into his friend's lap, getting him to pet his hair, all the like. Part of how he gets away with it so easily is that his best friend is... a little dense. Denser than a rock. See, Blue is a "really good friend" to him who just happens to really like physical affection and contact.

And thus the Dorksquad has a bet over which will happen first: Black will figure out Blue's crush, or Blue will confess to Black and ask him out.

Some other hcs:

As mentioned above, Blue LOVES physical affection, which is great for Black because he isn't very good at verbal affection but is really good at casual physical contact. Lots of hugs, cuddles, shoulder nudges, carrying, etc.

Blue is very light, especially with Black's strength-- it is not an unknown sight to see Blue carrying Blue around

As lightning and earth, Black and Blue are each other's elemental counterbalance (aka if one element starts getting too strong from emotions, physical contact with the other element user helps calm them down)

Black finds Blue extremely cute and keeps a photo of him in his mech when he fights as extra motivation

Black has written an entire album's worth of music about Blue. Blue turned bright red in the face when he first heard it, and still will every time one of the songs play

Black teaches Blue how to dance <3

Blue has offered to do a romantic flight in his jet as date, but Black is afraid of heights. Likewise, Black found a cool cave to explore with Blue, but Blue is afraid of underground caverns. They went out for bubble tea instead.

On the anniversary of Lilly's death, Blue always bring Black homemade cookies and pastries he made with his mom

Black helps Blue go collect child support payment from Cliff Gordon (who never freaking pays). He has intimidated the actor into remembering which of his many kids Blue is and that he did not, in fact, pay Blue's support yet this month. Or the last three months.

Blue shared his special scarf one winter while walking with Black. Black barely cries, but the softness of that trust sure brought him close

Do not mess with one. The other will mess you up (and if they can't, Cyan will mess you up for them). An angry Black is dangerous. An angry Blue is to be feared more than Garmadon.
