reminder that these exist. make them for splatoon 3

I feel like Canon doesn't appreciate that there was really literally no one there for Kai and nya during their formative years and it's made worse by the idea that they're teenagers. Cause like ok working backward:

Starting when the line got said in s 8/9. Jay says theyre "older teenagers" so that's what? 17 18? Probably 17 because most 18 year olds I've met identify as young adults.

I'd say there's about a year time skip between s7 and s8. That accounts for the appearance changes and gives Lloyd enough time to hit puberty the way he did. Personally I think it could've been 2 years but 1 makes more sense here. So that puts us at 16 in Hands of Time.

I'm willing to accept that s4-7 happened in one year. That's chill.

But there was definitely at least a six month time gap between s3 and s4. I feel like that one was also a year but I'm more willing to believe this gap was shorter. So we're still looking at 16, maybe 15 years old in Rebooted.

However this is where things get fucky bc at the beginning of this season they're teachers. Why???? Who knows. But if they're 16 here that was a poor choice, Wu.

Love you 16 year olds but I don't trust groups of you to manage children for more than a week. That shit is STRESSFUL.

Anyway.

There seems to be a time jump between s2's end and s3's beginning. Id clock that as around one to three years, personally.

And I think the pilots through Legacy of the Green Ninja all happened within the same year.

MEANING

That puts pilots Kai anywhere from 15 to 13 and working in a blacksmith shop ALONE except for the help of his baby sister who is nebulously younger than him but younger enough that he was child-sized when she was born.

And don't yall start on the babysitter bc if they had one

Where was she?

The one time she's mentioned Kai and nya seemed to have bad memories of her and often conspired to trip her and make her stumble.

Babysitters get PAID and with no parents around who was doing that paying?? Kai? Krux???

Either Kai was deemed old enough to handle an entire business by himself or all of Ignacia really just said "fuck it. Not our problem. They live or they dont." And even if he was old enough they seemed to have said that anyway. But like.

Canon does not want to explore that beyond a few lines. It goes on and on about Lloyd's tragedies (which make no mistake are HORRIBLE and he goes through way way too much) but beyond a few lines in seabound and kind of a hands of time plot it really doesn't get any light and I wish that they explored that more. The toll it takes on someone to be a kid. And be utterly alone. No help in sight.

And then the true end of the story: finally finally getting that help and more than that forging a family with people you've fought back to back with who you know would die for you as much as you would for them but even more than that that will be there during the dark and terrifying nights and hold you when you're crying and be there when you come home.

rgb siblings + sensei wu

part one

alternatively, YOU are the only thing preventing acht from having to witness pearl and marina making out

Did they really drop the pearlina vs shivrye rap battle and think we wouldn't notice?

+Shiver's face burn

Thinks about colour coded found family elemental ninjas for FAR too long.

I’m just realizing I never posted my ceramic persona 5 royal trio mice hm oops

(I haven’t colored them yet (;￣▽￣))(but here’s some photos)

Fun fact I broke Akechi’s tail like 3 times on accident (and Jokers once ha ha)

also Sumi’s tail was such a pain to do,my golly lol

I think Akechi turned out the best 🤔

Joker was my first one so it makes sense his mask didn’t turn out as nice as Akechi’s and Sumi’s

Bodyguard

Navia:Aether? I’m sorry in advance but can I trouble you with something?

Aether:It’s you asking so no trouble at all. What’s wrong.

Navia:It’s just…there’s a really important meeting I have with some other business individuals in Fontaine in order to Poisson. It’s pretty normal for the heads of the business to take a guard with them for protection. Not only that but because of the state of Spina Di Rosula is in…I fear people may think now is the time to walk all over us.

Aether:So showing up with a guard isn’t just for security, but a display that you’re still going strong? I’ll be honest, sounds like you should be hiring Clorinde more than me.

Navia:She has her own job to deal with. Being a champion duelist means someone wants to hire you for one reason or another. I’d rather not bother her with this. Not to say I’m okay bothering you! It’s just…

Aether:I get it. No offense taken. So I’m being a bodyguard? Sounds easy enough. Of course I’ll help.

Navia:Thank you. I’ll be sure to pay you accordingly…

Aether:Hmm? Why would you pay me? It’s just a favor between friends. If I’m gonna ask for anything, then it would be for more macarons when you get the chance. Paimon still talks about them.

Navia:Heh, alright then. I’ll be sure to make an entire batch afterwards. The meeting is tomorrow at noon.

Aether:I’ll be at Poisson to escort you a couple hours early then!

Navia:Sounds like a plan. See you then, and thank you again. Seriously. *walks away*

Aether:….(Alright, guess I should take this seriously.)

xxxxx

Tomorrow comes in a blink of an eye. Not gaining much sleep, Navia does her best to appear well rested. It’s not that she didn’t try to, but moments like these were never her strongest. And now that she was doing it without… No, she mustn’t think about that right now. Right now her efforts need to be on rebuilding what’s left and not missing all that was lost.

A knock on her door came the moment she put on her out. Talk about punctual. Maybe Aether didn’t get much rest either? There was plenty of time before departure. Navia walked to the door and opened it so he wouldn’t have to wait in the dreary atmosphere. She didn’t expect what waited on the other side. Sleepiness was pushed away from her gaze as her friend stood before her in a black suit, gloves, and fedora just like her men.

Navia:How did you…?

Aether:I asked around a bit yesterday and got myself fitted. I don’t think Melus and Silver would ever forgive me if I didn’t try my absolute best. So- Navia?

The girl had the biggest, warmest smile on her face, but it eas accompanied by a well of tears. Even she didn’t know if she going to laugh or cry.

Aether:H-Hey!? I’m sorry. Was this too much?

Navia:Hehe..no, Goodness, no. I’m just a little overwhelmed is all, but so happy too. *sniffles*

Aether:..*bows head* I’m ready when you are.

Navia:I’m curious, do you plan on calling me Demoiselle as well?

Aether:My pronunciation is not up to par with all that, hehe. Sorry.

Navia:It was just a joke. Even I might find that a little much. Please, raise your head. There’s something I want to give you.

Aether looks up to see her run towards her vanity mirror and run back holding two pairs of shades. She opens up one and slides them onto his face.

Navia:Perfect.

Aether:Now I’m really part of the group.

Navia:Haha, what are you going on about? You’ve always been one of us. *puts shades on* And don’t you forget it.

Aether:*smiles* Well then, ahem! Shall we go get breakfast before we start today’s affairs.

Navia:Hehe, I believe we shall.

sibling shenanigans

[id: it is a comic of Nya, Kai and Lloyd from Ninjago. In the first image, Nya is walking towards a couch, looking exhausted. She then throws herself onto the couch, landing face first. As she lays there, Kai peeks in from the side before throwing himself over the couch and on top of Nya, falling on his back. Lloyd then peeks in from the other side, smiling, as Kai looks up at him from where he is laying on top of Nya. Lloyd then throws himself, grinning, belly first and with his arms extended over both Kai and Nya, Kai scoots backwards and looks at Lloyd with wide eyes while Nya’s face, also wide-eyed, is peeking out from between Kai’s feet. The last image is of Lloyd, mumbling a “sorry”, laying on top of Nya with his arms resting curled on her back, Nya is once again face down and she is clenching her fist in pain while Kai is laying on her legs, leaning back on the armrest with one arm on the back rest of the couch, amused./ end id ]
