Which OC has a million different coats and jackets, but continues to live in the same beat up hoodie?
steven: *in therapy*
therapist: so how are you?
steven: i got a crush on someone today, i cant stop thinking about them
therapist: heh i wish my husband thought of me as much as you think about your crush
steven, now with a clipboard pen and glasses: oh? would you like to talk about it?
That is an awesome theory! It would be awesome if this was revealed canon
uhm hi so an idea for a theory came to my mind and i HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT
so. i was scrolling thorugh ninjago wiki and i somehow ended Chen’s side. I read there that even though Chen was Garmadon’s master, his student was way older than him. i also saw this pic:
here we have Garm and Chen in their young days. For me, Chen looks kinda older than Garm (but it’s ninjago, so i guess it’s not a big deal at this point). Let’s get to the conclusion i got: elemental masters age differently than other people. why, you might ask?? here comes the explanation:
First Spinjitzu Master, at least for me, wasn’t a normal human at all. He was part oni, part dragon - he was created from two species of very powerful beings. he created A WHOLE REALM (at least one, i guess that we can also count kingdom of clouds beside of ninjago but im not sure). He had a power of creation and destruction. Everyone in the whole ninjago praise him, it doesn’t matter if they are supporters of ninjas or they are rather suspicious of them. from my point of view, it looks a lot like if FSM was a god. we know that he died at some point, but still - he lived very, very long.
FSM being a god would make his sons, Wu and Garm, demigods (considering that their mother was a normal person. Or maybe he just created his kids from aether. then it would mean that they are gods. idk). As we know, all elemental masters are descendants of FSM which would make them demigods as well. And the oldest elemental masters we know who appeared in show for the longest time were Wu and Garm, who are also really old. So i think it’s quite possible for other elemental masters to age the same way as them.
you can ask “but ver, then why did they changed their appearance in such a short time???” i also thought about this so stay in your seats
we know that Wu and Garm (im not counting his “bad guy” form) came from this
to this
pretty quickly. You know who also did?? Clouse! here is the proof
nice young Clouse
not so nice older Clouse.
BUT
you know who didn’t aged at all? yes, Ray and Maya. they look like this:
for at least 40 years.
And what is the difference between Garm, Wu, Clouse and Ray with Maya?
Ray and Maya passed their powers to their kids.
All Wu, Garm and Clouse kept their powers - Wu and Clouse didn’t had any descendants and Lloyd, Garm’s son, somehow got element of energy instead of destruction.
And after what events Wu and Garm aged so much? After Serpentine Wars and fights with Hands of Time. So, in conclusion: after the events that made them use their powers the most. With Garm there is also a thing about his life as a villain - he used his powers a lot from what i can remember. Clouse also probably used much of his magic during the time of being Chen’s sidekick.
Also, coming back to garmabros, we haven’t seen them using their powers this much while their sensei days. I only recall Wu summoning his elemental dragon in s5
So what i want to say: elemental power has its cost. After using so much of it you can either lose it for a while (like Lloyd did in s8) or lose years of your life. The other thing is when you pass it down to your kids - then you still have your demigod youth and you still live a long life.
bvriwhvorephoepr that was… long. tell me what you think about it guys! (and pls dont eat me it’s my first theory)
You have friends that are outside of tumblr who don’t care about the ‘childish’ fandoms you’re in! Omg your so lucky last time i put Netflix on with my friend I had completely forgot I was rewatching ninjago and had just watched she-da so that was the first thing they saw :(
AAAAAAAAAA ANON!! I am so sorry for taking this long to get back to you! I had actually typed a reply the moment you sent in that ask, but tumblr decided to delete it, and I got way too annoyed with it at the time to retype it.
I just want to say, I completely get how you feel. It didn’t always use to be like this with my friends.
For starters, I was shamed at primary school for liking TMNT. In PRIMARY school. By KIDS. Because apparently playing ninja turtles with my friends was so wrong they had to tell me off.
And when I first went to middle school (my first time changing schools, and a huge deal for me) the first thing my new classmate asked me was “You watch ninja turtles?” in a really oh wow way.
Needless to say, it wasn’t good for my confidence.
It took me a long time to convince myself that it was okay. Sure, I already knew it, but it was when I decided that I didn’t care what the others said that I finally became comfortable with it. I fell in love with “childish” fandoms even more then.
It’s not easy not to care. It’s completely normal to want to be accepted by those around us, and I am super grateful to have friends that do. I hope you find people that accept that too 💜💜💜
