THIS

Re-watching the new Ninjago episodes cause I wanna support the official release, but it made me realize something. I think Aron’s fatal flaw is that he’s selfish, but in the way of victimizing himself. For example, when Sora asks him to go to the tournament with them, he said he wouldn’t be needed so he shouldn’t go, even though there were many things they would need him to do during it. Because he feels sorry for himself that he will never be an elemental master. Arin needs constant validation because he never feels enough, he feels he deserves a talent or needs it to feel worthy (like being a good detective, or be an elemental master) Even though he LOVES learning about elemental powers and really wants to go, he would deprive himself of it to feel less worthless.

And this isn’t even the only instance of this. Him leaving the ninja to look for his parents. Him caring less about the dragon that was crashing and more about how he lost his clue. Which all collided into him leaving the ninja and jumping to the conclusion that they don’t care about finding his parents.

I’m not saying this to throw shade on arin, I’m saying this because I LOVE IT. It’s a very simple flaw that makes him a well rounded character that’s interesting. It causes drama and angst that I’ve been waiting on for forever.

Yo im kinda done but my laptop is literally unable to render it XDDDDD

Guess ill move it to a PC

Getting somewhere

Still gotta pose him, animate him + add more textures so my laptop explodes when rendering

He thinks he's so cool

& Hes so right

AAAAAAAAAALABJDKQJJD

Btw someone asked how i did the animated belt movement here: It's not clothing simulated (tried that but didn't work), so instead it's animated separately as 2 solid objects using armatures (with damped track modifyer)

Bonus: Kai when he sees a bug after Monstrosity

im preparing for the inevitable if people don't watch drs3p2 LEGALLY when it OFFICIALLY drops on SEPTEMBER 4TH 2025

YOOO THIS IS SICK

The second, and newer version is ready for the visor!!! :D

Everything is symmetrical finally and no longer falling apart sjdhd. Lots of love to my prototype for surviving being taken apart and put back together THREE TIMES during this 😭🙏

Still got a LONG way to go but it's going great for a first ever prop build 🫶

trust

The ninjago tag is bisexual colored LETS GOOO!!

What if Arin has to stand trial in front of the Source Dragon Council?

What if Arin steals Lloyd's Dragon Icon and provides it to Ras, which allows Ras to take control of Motion (like in the set) and almost rip apart the world?

What if Lloyd, who has a strained relationship with Arin at this point, is forced to stand idly by as the Source Dragons deliberate on Arin's crimes agains them, and eventually has to be Arin's defense?
