I feel like spreading positivity so.

If you get tagged here, here's a few messages from the person who tagged you:

You are one of the coolest people I know, if not THE coolest ever. I may not have known you for long, but it feels like my whole life, and I don't know what I would do without you. If I haven't met you my life would be fundamentally different. You may have changed, but I've changed with you, and I think we've both grown a lot, and for the better.

I love seeing you create stuff! Be it art, writing, headcannons, or something you DIY-ed, I know that any time you make something it's bound to be good. Every project you start is always very exciting, even if you don't finish it! Watching you create is always very fun.

I know you have bad days, we all do. Don't hesitate to talk to me if you need to. I'm always here, I'll always listen, and I'll always do my best to try to understand and help. Know that you'll always be loved and appreciated!

Here's to our friendship growing even more in 2023!

(ps. don't feel pressured to tag anyone back! This is just to let you know that you're loved and appreciated. And if you were planning on tagging someone, but see that they've already been tagged, don't worry! This will be a message from you to them. Tag them!)

No, you know what- I’m going to go back and count how many times (in the official minifigures, at least) Zane has at least one tit out

Have a bonus Echo continuing the nindroid trend before we start-

The Zanes will be under the cut because there are many, plus minor Crystalized (only the gi) spoiler. For those that wish to avoid that- the answer is (within the official minifigures, not counting additional designs in the magazines, comics, show, and other sources that don’t have figures), Zane has had at least one tit showing a total of 9 times (if you include NRG and Airjitzu has half a point each and don’t count Fusion - if you count none, then 8 times, if you count all as a point each, then 11 times)

0.5 = Gonna count this one as a half because none of them appear to have a gi at all, but you could argue it’s over their cloths

1.5 = One of the first times ever (probably first in canon), we stan a King

2.5 = Back from the dead and he already has one tit out

3 = Same as with NRG, going to count this as half a point because you can argue it’s over the clothes but also argue that’s his skin

4 = Zane was actually locked up in Skybound for titty crimes

Not counting this one but it deserves an honourable mention

5 = The infamous Island tit-out from the original post reference

6 = And you thought the Legacy waves wouldn’t sneak one in- the tit always manages to sneak out

7 = The infamous reverse crop top scuba gear

8 = the Core waves manage to sneak in a tit window after all

9 = And one more sneaky tit out for the road

the nindroid urge to walk around with one tit out

Annual Ninjago Reblog Rollcall

Okay, since we're coming to the end of the year, I think it's time we did our annual reblog rollcall!

“YIELD!”

Cold water stings at the front of Kai’s gi, his ankle sore and swollen. Sand manages to squeeze its way past the small holes in the fabric. It scratches, burning against cuts and bruises, and does not relent.

Neither does Kai.

He braces his hand against a rock outcrop poking out of the water, stretching so far with his other hand his muscles strain and scream at his sides. A hand, nails sharp, digs into his upper back, a few fingers grabbed his hair in a brutal pinch. A knee jabs into his lower back.

“I,” Kai grits out through clenched teeth, reaching for the sword hilt so tantalizingly close, “do not yield.”

His little brother— no, Morro possessing his little brother, his hair black, eyes cold and merciless— tightens his grip. He raises the axe in his free hand.

“Last chance,” Morro snarls. “Your little brother here doesn’t want me to swing, but I’ll do it if I have to, even if he won’t shut up after. Yield, or die.”

The tips of Kai’s fingers brush the sword hilt, pushing it ever so slightly further from his grasp. He closes one eye and strains so far something in his side seems to rip.

“Go... to the ducking Cursed Realm.”

Morro’s eyes narrow. “I’ve been there. You’ll enjoy it.”

The axe rises above his head, blade a glinting guillotine. Kai’s head is pushed to the rock like a butcher’s cutting board. Fog settles around them, the air dense as the whole world holds its breath.

“So long, fire ninja.”

The axe swings down—

—only to meet the blade of a weapon, Kai holding the Sword Sanctuary above his head. He catches a glimpse of a vision of Morro pulling his knee back to kick his ribs in along the glimmering metal and rolls just as Morro lifts the pressure from his lower back. Water splashes out of his way as he frees himself, pushing himself to one knee.

His eyes narrow. “You give my brother back.”

Morro laughs. “Or what? You’re alone, injured, surrounded by water— you have no hope. Give up and die with honour.”

Fog seems to hiss from Kai’s mouth. No— the faint wisps of white smoke, like an extinguished candle.

But it isn’t Kai’s candle of life that’s been extinguished. Small sparks of embers snap at the hilt of his sword, burning brighter and brighter. The tips of his hair turn to flames, hands ablaze, eyes glowing pools of bonfires.

The flickering embers transform into a fiery dragon behind him, sizzling steam rising from where it’s claws touch the shallow water.

“Give up?” Kai snarls, and the dragon snarls with him. “I’ll never give up on my little brother.”

And he leaps into battle, fire snapping around him as it crashes into the furious storm, sword against axe, flames against wind, brother against brother, protector against ghost.

I wrote a short thing for this amazing drawing, hope it’s good! 

literally a scene that never happened in the series, but let me dream.

Here's an ask for the Evil Ninja Force AU

I think Wu would definitely try to work things with his students

Oh he absolutely tries. He's not going to get too far, because those six have each other's back tighter than anything and they're sick of the city's crap, but he might be able to get them to tone it down on the world domination thing a little.

They still rule the city though, at least, and maybe a few surrounding islands / continents (hc that the other realms are continents in the movie!verse, like Djinnjago and the Never Realm and the Cloud Kingdom and whatnot)

Don’t know if there’s any specific types or not / if they have to be character-centric, but I just searched through my bookmarks for some favourites one-shots & short fics (maybe I’ll make another post with longer fic recommendations if people want)

“Cold Hands, Warm Heart”, one-shot, 12,006 words -- Zane-focus, fluffy squad snowball fight

“Let’s Dye This World”, one-shot, 4,101 words -- Lloyd dyes his hair and his sister is firmly on his side

 “*Wu voice* "Ah, gotta get my kids."”, (7 chapters, completed) 4,850 words, has an unfinished aftermath sequel -- a cool “overwhelmed with power” scenario where Wu takes care of each of his students after all their elemental powers go haywire - also comes with this cool animatic 

“The Venomari Venom Incident”, one-shot, 10,012 words -- SPBNR-inspired work (which is a longer but amazing fic) ft. show Kai in the movieverse getting hit by venomari venom at school before a Garmalarm. Hilariously crack-y

“powersurge”, (6 chapters, completed) 9,488 words -- another interesting take on moments with large bursts of elemental power

“And the Vocab Word of the Day Is...” , one-shot, 2,547 words -- a young Lloyd teaches an innocent Zane to swear, absolutely hilarious

“For When You Need Love” , one-shot, 7,605 words -- so much platonic found family kisses, very sweet

“Home Is Where You Are” , one-shot, 3,937 words -- movieverse Morro taking care of his younger cousin

“When your love rival is a frog” , (3 chapters, completed), 17,630 words -- movie plasma, the funniest ship fic I’ve ever read in which Kai loses to a frog

“Oh, haven’t you heard?” , one-shot, 1,775 words -- alternative movieverse Lloyd where nobody knows a child of Garmadon exists and a Buzzfeed Unsolved conspiracy is set

“Habits of Home(lessness)” , (6 chapters, completed), 6,823 words -- 5-times the squad worry Jay with their survival skills/habits and one time he got it explained

“Cool Down” , one-shot, 4,741 words -- Zane gives Kai hugs to cool down from elemental power overloads

“Observational Astronomy”, one-shot, 2,495 words -- Soulmate (platonic, family) identifying marks in the shape of a constellation tattoo on your chest

“Those Linked By Destiny”, (5 chapters, completed), 19,993 words -- how the movieverse Ninjaforce met

“Kind”, one-shot, 3,475 words -- movieverse AU pre-Dorksquad where the words that others think about another are written across the person's skin, very soft

Hey so I’ve been pretty depressed today and just overall frustrated about life and my future and society. Got any good ficlet/oneshots and/or ficlet/oneshot recommendations

(IDK when you sent this ive been away from my desktop, but i hopw youre feeling better! And i hope im not super late!)

I honestly havent been reading much fic lately, some of these arent ficlits/oneshots orz sorry

shamelessly plugging my own ao3 (i also have a lot of ficlets in the #spinchip fic tag here)

Lean back. by NKMLN (Cast into water is another good one by the same author)

under the skin, Against the Skull by ninjas-that-go (author has more, non-zane centric fics to check out too!)

if anyone has other recs please suggest some! I've been out of the reading loop for a hot minute
