You Have Opened A Pandoras Box, I Love Talking About AUs And The Lore The SPBNR Discord Has Made For

You have opened a pandora’s box, I love talking about AUs and the lore the SPBNR Discord has made for the m!verse

Okay, so the basic gist is- S11 Smith and Boreas (s!Kai and s!Zane) get zapped into the m!verse by s!Aspheera’s staff, leaving Boreas with the Forbidden Scroll and Smith powerless. He’s actually rather cold, and Boreas ends up stealing a bunch of jackets and blankets for him as they bunk down for the night and try to figure out where they are and what they’re going to do

And that’s when they find Green (m!Lloyd) and rescue him from an alleyway mugging

Now heres an AU idea im surprised i havent seen anyone play around with before. AU where Aspheera botches her banishment spell and instead of the Never Realm, Zane ends up in the movie!verse. Think SPBNR but with Zane instead of Kai and also Forbidden Scroll drama

So. m!Aspheera. You want to know what the SPBNR server has decided for her?

She’s good.

Yeah.

Not evil.

She’s just a chill immortal sorceress snake lady living in the desert with her cool tomb lair. Wants to sting Clouse and his husband MC (Mafia Chen, aka m!Master Chen) up in her tomb with chains like a worm-on-a-string. Hates magic being used for dark and cruel reasons. Gets incredibly excited when she finds someone genuinely wanting to learn magic (and is currently a mentor to Dimitri, a SPBNR discord OC that’s a member of Red (m!Kai)’s philosophy class)

Boreas and Smith ends up running into m!Aspheera. It doesn’t go well. It especially doesn’t go well with Dimitri and Red being there

Now heres an AU idea im surprised i havent seen anyone play around with before. AU where Aspheera botches her banishment spell and instead of the Never Realm, Zane ends up in the movie!verse. Think SPBNR but with Zane instead of Kai and also Forbidden Scroll drama

Hello Ninjago fandom, with the release of Crystalized part 2, I would just like to remind everyone to TAG YOUR SPOILERS. The season’s not out everywhere and not everyone is able to watch it yet.

Don’t be the person that ruins the season for someone else, please.

Tag the spoilers, tag the spoilers, and tag the spoilers.

My guys

What ninjago needs isn't more villains and enemies from Wu or the fsm's past

What ninjago REALLY need is past villains and enemies of Lily, Maya, Libber, and Ray

Honestly the whole “Blue has multiple secret half-siblings, older and younger” thing is becoming a major joke on this server I’m in, because we’ll just slap a “woe, Cliff offspring curse be upon thee” on any movie counterpart we can think of, including but not limited to: Fugidove/Dove & his brother (who we named Marque), Luke Cunningham, Benthomaar, the four League of Jay members (who we said the m!versions are quadruplets younger than Blue, named Steller, Scrub, Crest, and Azure, after types of jays), and Nelson

The Ninjaforce is barely hanging on against Garmadon since they’re missing one of their major air supports. Maybe Lady Irondragon is somewhat out of retirement to help, or they still have Master Wu helping, or get some additional support from Green’s cousin, a tired college student (and roommate of Dove & the Fuchsia Ninja) named Morro, or they’re just on their own and holding out with a bit more city property damage

And because of this, the population is very easy to sell a new game to… one that offers escape, and something else to think about rather than the constant fear of GarmAlarms… something fun.

A game that has been dragged from the discarded bin perhaps, by a few villainous individuals looking to take over the city before Garmadon. Perhaps the leader of a mafia disguised as a noodle shop and his dark-magic husband. Perhaps an disgruntled ex-coworker of Dr. Julien who stole some blueprints and ran off to make his own nindroids as a scrappy Mechanic who owes this mafia a debt. Perhaps a movie star celebrity who could be offered a large sum of money and promotional influence.

And perhaps those groups are even working together

None of the movie!verse version of the Cabinet Man AU is too set in stone yet (aka at all) but it's fun to think about 'cuz I have different headcanons for the m!ninja (I think of them as somewhat separate characters to the s!ninja and have different hcs and stuff for them, but still the same core of who they are- just drastically changed from different experiences, upbringings, and world changes)

So one difference in terms of the AU would be age, since the m!ninja are 15/16 (I like to hc that Green (m!Lloyd) is the oldest, followed by Cyan (m!Nya) who's older than her twin, Red (m!Kai - who, fun fact, I hc as the seer of the team after he ate the forbiddon pocky sticks (incense sticks) on Master Wu's boat when he was younger and doesn't realize the odd dreams he gets are visions)

Another is that I hc m!Cliff to be a bit more on the evil/selfish/greedy side than s!Cliff, in that he constantly cheats on his wife Vanessa (Blue (m!Jay) has so many secret siblings) and would not hesitate to do some very morally dubious things if it would benefit his career, profits, or whatnot (AKA he's the reason Blue's trapped in the game)

OOH i like those HCs for the movie ages those are good!! I LOVE the ninjago movie its such a fun time

Honestly Cabinet Man Jay's personality is kind of a mash of the movie and the show anyways - he's still got the loud, jokey cockiness of the show, but also the more timid clingy nature of the movie. His real personality is more in the middle yknow?

ALSO DAMN YEAH m!Cliff sounds like a dick, I could totally see it

I love this hehehe it could definitely lead to some fun things too since the ninja's identities in the movie are secret from the public!

I’ve got a Villain M!Verse AU? Aka the Ninjaforce finally snapped after Koko got hurt in a Garmalarm and the civilians did nothing to help her and they a. destroyed Garm’s volcano and then b. took over the city

I drew two of the designs

Really loving funky arm Jay 💙
