Dragons Rising Season 2 Spoilers!!!

I have a lot of thoughts on the new season, but this is one of them.

TW: Loud noise at the end

Nya, sweetie.... You have a big storm coming.🥺

The angst potential when they finally find each other! It's going to be so good and yet hurt so bad!!!

(Also, "the love of my life." That's it, guys. I'm deceased. I will never recover.)

(Also, "Nya slowly becoming more comfortable with outward displays of affection and speaking her feelings around others" character arc, my beloved. That's just one of my headcannons for her okay. 🥲)

So I watched part 2...

Spoilers for the final episode below!! Be warned!!!

ARIN. ARIN MY GUY. WHY. WHY'D YOU JOIN THE EVIL TIGER GUY?!? I KNOW WHY BUT STILL

My heart broke at the Sora and Lloyd scene guys 😭

Yeah this is accurate I did the exact same thing when I was burn’t by people I gave my trust and kindness to. damn this kid is so relatable it is uncanny.

the main interesting aspect of Arin's character to me is not so much that he is a frustrated, angry, and lonely person underneath a kind, friendly, and eager exterior. Rather its that he is all of these things in equal measure, but everyone around him (including the audience at first) isn't really privy to these "negative" traits, and sort of has been brushing his expression of them off as simple lack of self-confidence; a small blip in his inevitable hurdle towards self-actualization. I don't think anyone means anything bad by it, but I think everyone views Arin as such an inherintly good and talented person, that he doesn't feel comfortable truly expressing how lost he feels without his parents. The dissonance is coalescing within him, into a guilt at not being good enough to save his parents. That causes the encouraging words of his mentors and friends to feel more and more like a lie, and those friendly and kind traits that are inherint to his character, to feel like a weakness that isn't even being returned to him in kind.

Just remembered that Lloyds vision of Arin fucking decking him in the face hasn't happened yet and no I'm gonna cry because we're still in for it next season chat-

I agree I felt the same way about the merge as though it was supposed to happen I mean it’s original name Coalescence means to unite into a whole or to join forces for a common purpose.

I keep stopping myself from making a post about this bc I keep getting the feeling like I got this idea from somebody else and I dont wanna present it as my own if thats the case. However I really haven't seen that many people actually talk about it so.... does anybody else out there think that maybe the 16 realms.... weren't originally separate?

Like just thinking about it. Wu was shocked that the merge came early, but he knew it would happen. Which means its like, a scheduled event that he was informed of, likely through his father. He also answered "yes" to Arin's question of if he caused the merge. Of course, Arin understood this to be a confession of direct responsibility, but simply though Wu's reactions in flashbacks alone we know the situation is more complicated than that. It's highly possible that the reason why he answered that way, was because he was supposed to do something to stop it, but failed to do so.

I know this is like, a lot of conjecture rn so bear with me, but if that assumption is indeed correct, it would mean that the sixteen realms need regular upkeep just to stay as separate places. And that..... would be kinda crazy if the 16 realms were created separate, right? Why would they be attracted to each other like magnets, only held apart by active force, if being separate was their natural state?

Then add in the fact that the show has repeatedly spoken of unity as a theme, and a force for good. Nya talks about how the ninja are not truly united with missing members of their team, the crossroads represent a unique blending of cultures that allow new bonds to form, characters learn and fight best when they are working in tandem with others they are close to. How is it that everyone is better, stronger, more in-tune with the universe, when they are working together, but the realms themselves are assumed to be most natural and healthy when segregated?

All this to say.... I think the realms were created as one, and something, some truly monumental and traumatizing event (perhaps.... the death of a source dragon?), caused the gods to see fit to divide the world. And ever since then, it's been desperately trying to fit itself together again, even though it could not return to what it once was, and the effects of joining again would wreak devastating consequences on the parts that could not be reconciled.

OKAY SO YOU KNOW HOW IN THE NEW DRAGONS RISING TRAILER WE GOT AN UPDATED MAP POST MERGE

SOME FANS AND I CALLED IT IN JULY 2022 ON THE SPBNR DISCORD SERVER BY ACCIDENT WHILE MAKING LORE ABOUT THE MOVIEVERSE!

In it, we said that the other realms are actually continents in the m!verse naturally (Ninjago is the youngest continent, only created a few hundred years ago by the FSM, Elemental Master of Energy)

(There’s so much lore for the movieverse if anyone’s interested)

But shoutouts to SPBNR Discord for guessing a canon plot point—

OP this is so bigbrained—

A lot of fans have speculated that Jay has amnesia, possibly from either a head injury, elemental power backlash, or something going wrong in the Administration when he either wound up there right from the Merge or was going to get relocated

But if he’s been in the Realm of Madness (now the Kingdom of Madness) potentially for years since the beginning of the merge…

Well, Garmadon got his extra arms in this realm. It’s possible it’ll drive someone a bit mad or have other unexpected consequences.

“So why isn’t Nya affected?” was my first thought, considering Lloyd, Arin, Riyu, and Sora find her helping the Craglings, except…

“The Merge. Nya, is this where you woke up when it hit?”

“No. A lot happened to me after the Merge. But now’s not the time to get into all those stories. Just know I woke up alone, pretty far from here, and started to work my way back to Ninjago.”

So if Jay really has lost his memory, it could be as a side effect from being in the Realm of Madness for so long when he isn’t a normal inhabitant of this kingdom

Also if I had a nickel for every time Jay ended up in a different realm and lost his marbles…

Sorry for derailing the post OP your art is just SO AMAZING and it made me want to analyze the situation

hey guys so jays in the realm of madness right. how's that going for him
