that relatable moment when ur robo boyfriend breaks off his whole forearm by accident
The ninja are majestic creatures
Believe it or not 1 month ago I was randomly inspired to draw salaryman jay and now that dr jay office worker theories r coming out i am convinced I am a prophet and I have no choice but to post..
NINJAGO ERAS TOUR JSJSJSKDN I am unhinged—Happy late 13 years of Ninjago Ofc I had to relate this to Taylor Swift bc I’m not mentally well lol
Uh so some of the eras aren’t 100%accurate but I had to pick and choose and make some tough decisions—yes I did include Crystal…she’s literally based on 1989
Just realized I never posted yassified Jay
cant believe i havent seen any fanwork of these two interacting yet?? someone mustve done it
id love to see an amnesiac jay casually interacting with the ninja. i feel like itd be awkward with the older ninja who have expectations of who he should be, but hed get along great with the new gen :]
Another post!!!! Mostly because I will be off for like a week on a trip so I won't be able to post. I love sharing my little sketchbook funnies (or not so funnies) so have these. I promise I like Jay normally. And his lightning scars.
I dont care what anyone says, the sound effects for Jay's lightning in crystallized is amazing, it tickles my neurodivergent brain. I can listen to that sound for hours.
Once again rambling about Jay and his awesome power. One thing I've noticed about him, especially with his power, is that it seems to tax him a lot more than the others' does. Probably because of the power and intensity of lightning. I've seen so many posts about how Jay uses a very small voltage when he fights because he doesn't want to hurt people, but what seems to be supported by the canon is that it also hurts him. Every time he deals with pure lightning bolts (rather than just shocks), he seems to hurt himself in the process. This is proven in season 14 when he is literally sparking after recharging the ship.
And judging by his expressions, it's affecting him. It hurts and exhausts him.
And in season 6 and season 8 we see how dealing with direct bolts of lightning affects him. In season 6, he screams when it hits him.
And in season 8, he gets physically exhausted for a moment after redirecting.
At least from what I have seen, this is very different from the other ninja, who seem to be able to control their elements-for the most part-at different intensities without it affecting them. (Aside from Lloyd.)
Which just brings me to the point that I personally believe that Jay's power is the most powerful of the creation elements. He doesn't use it to its full potential (and KO enemies, like he could) because, while he can handle like 900 million volts (in season 6 he's struck by like 3 direct bolts of lightning, and survives), that doesn't mean he will be combat ready after that.
This might also be why Wu brought him into the team early (with Cole). He probably needed a lot more training on pain tolerance, keeping the mind and body calm, and probably lots of other endurance training. (Which is indirectly canon with how well he was able to handle Nadakhan's mental and physical torture vs the other ninja.) His power is so unpredictable, and so his training must have been very rough when he first got his powers, which is once again supported by the canon as both Nya and Lloyd talk about how he destroyed the South(?) Wing of the Monastery with an electrical fire while practicing his powers. Wu probably had to focus on his control a lot more than with the other ninja (probably like how he had to with Nya, if you think about it. Lightning and Water are both hard to control, so concentration would be key to learn for both of them, which is ironic with Jay's fanon ADHD).
Point is, Jay is super cool and so underrated sometimes. I really think it'd be cool if the show went more into how their powers affected them! Though speculation is also fun.
Anyways. Jay with the lightning chicken because they would be (are) besties.
posting twice bc i have no patience. Anyways. My account has been swarmed with so much that weve forgotten who owns this house.
Reminder he’s cool. And REALLY freaking talented with weapons. Definitely the most versatile out of all the others weapons wise.
guys.
guys Built To Protect plays when Jay recharges the ship.
guys.
This is sort of going off my recent artwork but I really wanted to take a moment to talk about Jay's adaptability. Specifically weapons. With the other ninjas, they seem to stick to one thing. Kai seems to always stick to a sword, Zane a long distance weapon, Cole an impact-based weapon, and Nya a spear-type weapon. (Lloyd still has the same sword he's had since season 11.) And while Jay does stick to chained weapons, he shows a lot of comfort with continously changing weapons in situations of need.
Personally, I think it's to make up for his element. Lightning is an incredibly powerful element that is likely very difficult to control. He probably doesn't WANT to use it much outside of his usual shocks and power outages. Unlike Lloyd, he doesnt need that much power because he's usually not fighting The Big Bad.
So he makes up for it with variety. With hand to hand combat, agility, speed, adaptability of weapons.
I mean, just look at all of them.
(And dont get me STARTED on how insane it is that he reguarly uses kusarigamas. That's RIDICULOUSLY DIFFICULT TO MASTER. I think this guy needs a ton of respect just for using chained weapons.)
But the coolest thing, to me at least, is that it looks like he specifically trained in the other ninjas weapons. (Maybe the others did too? But i dont really see it as much with them.)
This scene in crystallized is what got me.
Cole literally just threw his weapon to Jay, trusting him to know how to use it. And Jay kicks butt.
I wonder if a little 15 yo Jay trained in the training yard for hours, frustratedly hacking at something with a katana, then training with a hammer, switching to a spear, then to a bostaff, then to sai, and just keeps going and going until he's comfortable with all of them. He cant be the weak man on the team. If his power isnt going to cut it, then he needs to master weapons. Master combat. He wont be the weak link. He refuses to.
Anyways sharkanalysis is back
BBNB Jay is having my heart rn
BLOOD AND GORE WARNING BELOW
Here are some skybound requests from the discord!
You BEST BET im not gonna be the one to slack behind when the fandom is doing skybound brainrot.
i know the poll results havent come out yet but the lloyd jay one was winning by a ton so i indulged
-
Anyways we all seem to collectively forget that Jay is the one who taught Lloyd, arguably, the most important lesson he’s learned for his power. So. The brothers ever.
Bruise school au brainrot
finally! im so so sorry @infinite-moths that this took me so long!!
we interrupted your scheduled MARINA to give you:
richard cameron// this is me trying by taylor swift

“Something in Common.”
Some more exploration on Stevens recovery. I always thought Steven could have used more friends his age, and Peedee was always such a high contender in my opinion. He really stuck with me after Frybo aired. His more extreme character traits being cynicism and prone to hysterics is such a good foil for optimistic Steven, although those may or may not have mellowed out by SUF. I noticed a little something about the Fry family, and thought it would be fun to give Peedee some backstory that Steven could empathize with.
In SU classic, there were a few scenes that implied Steven and Peedee still hung out, but like, off screen, and he was always really busy with work. They probably only grew more distant once Little Homeschool kicked up, so I wanted to circle back and have them catch up– something Steven would have absolutely done during his recovery.
