FINALLY GOT THIS STUPID REF SHEET FOR MY MODERN AU DONE Hope You Enjoy These Kids And Their Admittedly

Jinx/Jay parallels will always be my fav thing

Idk who out here watches arcane and ninjago but I feel like jinx is the type of villain Jay walker could’ve been. Manic, laughs a lot and kinda in their own head. Inventor, electric lazer guns, super human speed…..blue? The fear of being ‘left behind’ really could’ve worked with Jay’s character too.

the classic

okay i’m going to sleep now

me: haha jay got lost in the woods right after he said he wouldnt go far

The Next Fucking Paragraph:

me:

scorbus + potter siblings doodles and hcs

this is for @valleyian who has dragged me back to my roots <33

So I was thinking that it seems odd if Jay, (experienced to make his own circle group when he's alone though he forgets) but when he is an Admin manager, the narrative trying to show that he's lonely? What about? His subordinates?? Their connections? none? huh? Then how he became a manager if he hadn't formed Any Bonds, to get trusted enough to be the manager but the narrative trying to show us as if he's lonely?? It's been 5 years.. (?)

And now with the whole Rogue situation I'm starting to understand his motif.

It's like.. the inability to express yourself- like.. those people around don't really accept you. Not as in they shunned you away but they want You-that-They-Supposed-to-Know. Yes, he's adaptable he could try to fit in. And as the result they know fit-in-jay.. their idea of him, not this current how-he-is-now Jay. (*This is the big picture, applies to both the Administration & the Ninja).

In the Administration maybe he has their respect, but I'm not sure he felt that way because he Knows he shouldn't be there, due to him being the master of lightning. At the end he knows they'll against him. Even if there's any compliments towards him, or any sort of appreciation would felt Fake, because it's not directed to him, but to someone he pretends to be.

Those years he's trying to fit in, to be acceptable to their standards, contrasting to Jay who's more.. (y'know how ).. Thus he has to kill some parts of him for them, making him losing himself. Maybe he realized this afterwards, so then he started to feed his "ego" (like playing games while working), doing anything that makes him felt "good" or suits him, anything that screams "This is Me".

And that's also why he accepted ras' offer, he accepted him as ele master, he "rescued" him; Though at the end he dumped him anyway ^_^

Plus the ninja wants him back, "Him" as in his family, But He doesn't feel that way. He's Not someone they expect to be. He can't pretend to be someone who they want. He knows for sure. He's tired, he wants to find his own path. He doesn't want to feel stuck/trapped. He want to be able to be himself. He wants people to see him as he is now.. not "Jay" they supposed to know.

And Tralala.. He picked a name: Rogue, his new identity to distinguish himself from Jay (whatever they think Jay is like).

He does whatever his intuition told him to, goes wherever the skies let him be.

Now I have mixed feelings if they bring him back to the ninja again hhh. It has to be good.

can we talk about how jay took off his mask to tell unagami he was abandoned too? can we talk about how both of them took off their armour and masks because theyre the same?

omigad

am I the only one who thinks about “evil” jay and “evil” arin too much

Idk how to explain it but actually a good duo . Ever since jay lost his memory every one is expecting him to be something else or do something for them without him having a word in the matter, meanwhile arin had stopped expecting anything from the ninja ( including jay because arin would probably still see him as a ninja ) and other than a “we’re are my parents” and jay either knowing or not , arin would actively not want or even not care about jay . Which could cause mixed feelings because apparently this kid knows who I am and he just … doesn’t care , and it’s a first ! I think I find it funny because I like to imagine jay being mad at whoever wanted to use him and arin is mad at the ninjas and he still sees jay as one , because he might not remember but he still is to him , but to jay this kid is the only one who doesn’t want him to be something he doesn’t even remember , so in a way he kinda cares for him . Idk I feel like it be fun to watch

This is probably not going to be canon but I’m allowed to dream
