Super late to this, but I hope you like these! ☺️

tumblrinas PLEASE rb this with your favorite reaction images i recently lost a large collection. i must rebuild

Oh my gosh guys, guys, guys!!!

Idea time!!!

I personally can't see Arin going fully evil.

I can definitely see his frustration and anger, but he's a good kid, and I dont think he'd do anything malicious on purpose. But I do think he's in a prime position to get manipulated right now. He's at his lowest point, and he could possibly be willing to do anything to impress and prove himself to Llyod.

What I think would be really interesting is if, via manipulation, Ras could get Arin to let his guard down and maybe even get him to listen to his point of view a bit.

("I lost my parents too, you know, and I found a way to make it on my own. I had to be strong. I learned that i didn't need anyone else, only myself." I don't know. That might be an angle that Ras could exploit, effectively drawing Arin away from his friends.)

(I mean, I'm assuming, according to that flashback sequence, that Ras's parents weren't really around.)

Maybe Arin would even start to trust Ras a little. Or at least start to doubt Lloyd's methods of teaching. (Which to be honest, Lloyd, you're not doing yourself any favors with your teaching technique, buddy. I know you're trying to encourage the kid, but you're giving him an unrealistic idea of a future self he has to measure up to.)

I think Arin is putting a lot of pressure on himself too.

So Arin doesn't necessarily join Ras, but somehow ends up facing off with him a bit more than usual during fights or something. Ras singles him out, trying to plant more of those seeds of doubt. Maybe Ras gets him alone, and, either willingly or by force, Arin ends up wearing a wolf mask.

I mean, is Shatterspin technically evil if you're using it to fight bad guys? I mean, it's not like his own spinjitzu is helping anyway.

Maybe, Lloyd or Sora look over and see Arin wearing the mask. Maybe they run to him, and ask what the heck he is thinking!

Maybe Arin is embarrassed. He feels sorry and ashamed. He knows he made a mistake. He goes to take the mask off.

But before he can, the gong is struck, and his soul is shattered.

All of the emotions come flooding out. He's angry. So very angry. Angry at Llyod for putting all this pressure on him. Angry at Sora for progressing so far and leaving him behind. Angry at himself for not doing something, SOMETHING, more to find his parents.

We get a scene similar to that bit in Season 4 with Kai and the staff of elements. Arin just loses control, and all the anger, doubt, and fear come spewing out.

That's what I want.

I want him to voice his frustrations to his friends. And at the moment, I think Arin is just so nice that he doesn't want to bother anyone and isn't going to say anything.

But as the saying goes, "even a worm will turn"

In other words, even the nicest and sweetest people will show you how dangerous they can be if pushed too far.

So, um. Arin deserves to go feral. Just as a little treat.

Having an EMERGENCY RAMEN button on your mech is essential!

Thanks for tagging me @only-lonely-stars ! Here's something from what I've been writing for the Ninjago fic fest.

“Do you know Dr.—”

“Julian. Yes. He was the one who made me. He was...he was my father,” the stranger finished.

The visitor's eyes were shimmering with tears. Zane hadn't quite expected that.

And then, the stranger leapt forward and wrapped his arms around him.

Zane jerked back in surprise, but the stranger who looked like him only pulled him closer.

And suddenly, the pieces fell into place.

“A-are you, my brother?”, Zane whispered.

“I think so,” the stranger replied.

To the person who submitted the prompt for Echo exploring Ninjago City, don't worry! That's coming. I just had to get him out of the lighthouse first.

(At this point in the story, I still refer to him as Zane since Jay giving him the nickname "Echo" was erased from the timeline. I really hope it's not too confusing for the first scene.)

No pressure! Join if you'd like!

thank you for the tag @invalidstories !

Heads Up, Seven Up!

rules: post the last seven lines you wrote, then tag seven people.

here’s a little something from chapter 12 of Your Average Fangirl :)

A quick glance at the nightstand tells me it's 10:03AM. I stretch my arms above my head before moving to a sitting position, the standard hotel white duvet rustling with every miniscule movement.

I grab my phone off the charging stand and quickly swipe through all of the notifications. After getting back to the hotel last night, we all went to our separate rooms. When Jace didn't follow me as he normally did, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at not talking with him well into the early morning hours.

Realizing that I have to rewrite a middle portion of my fic because it doesn't match the themes of the rest of the story...

My deadline is the end of June.

help.

Edit: I think I can make the original stuff work with just a bit of tweaking. Whew.

Feel free to use the pic as a reaction image or whatever.

rotating some conversations that I've had around in my head about art and what makes it meaningful and can we really qualify the birds which weave beautiful nests and the fish which draw patterns on the floor on the sea as artists when all they are doing is following their instincts and I am in my corner banging pans and weeping because IT'S GOD, IT'S GOD'S ART, IT'S GOD'S ART EXPRESSED THROUGH THE CANVAS OF CREATION, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS WHEN NATURE IS NOT THE ARTIST, IT IS THE ART

Throws some old sketches at you and then runs back into the abyss.

I have some polished stuff coming, I promise! I've just been busy. 😊
