I Dont Care What Anyone Says, The Sound Effects For Jay's Lightning In Crystallized Is Amazing, It Tickles

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

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

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.

The ninja are majestic creatures

jay: omg a space bug!! think of all we could learn from it :D

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 :]

finally! im so so sorry @infinite-moths that this took me so long!!

we interrupted your scheduled MARINA to give you:
