Oh Yeah *attempts To Keep Eyes Up* Yeah It Really Helps For Sure. *comically Tries To Keep Eyes From-*

top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard

I feel like Jay gets all staticy or smthn as a storm gets closer to him.

I agree, he needs to be at LEAST 75% more annoying

Does anyone else fw the idea of Kai just being incredibly embarrassing for Nya, Lloyd, and Wyldfyre.

Like Lloyd completes one (1) simple task like finishing laundry and Kai’s yelling “YOURE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!” to Lloyd’s dismay

or Nya comes back from a successful mission and he’s bragging like “GUESS WHAT MY LITTLE SISTER JUST DID????” As she’s just wanting to unwind and rest.

Or Wyldfyre gets a move or stance down that he was teaching her and he insists on taking a photo of her. He puts it on the fridge and shows it to everyone, like “LOOK AT MY STUDENT GO!!”

I think we as a fandom should make him more annoying.

Imagine if Jay ended up terrified of water after he nearly drowned?

The beginning of Crystallized would been so much different if Jay was scared of water lol

Jay and Nya's interactions would definitely be so different afterwards cuz everytime he sees Nya using her powers hes just reminded of the time he almost drowned-

And it would make him so angry cuz he doesn't want to be afraid! He loves Nya, every single aspect of her!

So why, can't he handle being around her without flinching or shaking? Without imagining the cold, wet water as if attempted to sap his life away? Without remembering those long agonizing hours he lay there struggling to breath as pain coursed through his body. His lungs hurting and burning so badly he thought they would explode

Of all the things the ninjas have been through and come out of fine, him drowing is what's causing this mental collapse?! This-this irrational fear?!

There's no reason not be afraid of Nya! She would never hurt him and he knows this! She wasn't even the cause of him drowning so why...?

He wants nothing more than to hold her, to hug her, to tell her he's sorry everytime he sees flashes of hurt go across her face when he flinches from her attempted touches.

But he can't

And that hurts more than his near death could ever.

🥳🥳🎉🎉🎈🎈🎉🎉

Happy 22 birthday Jay(I think he is 22 it doesn't say his age in dragon rising on the ninjago wiki)

I think people forgot his birthday which is sad

Ignore the text boxes

update: it's 4:30AM and my au information has doubled....

I'm finally writing a backstory for my villain in my ninjago au..... >:)

she doesn't have a name though...help her XD

me when I decided to rewatch and finish ninjago after 10 years

Sending out the love to all my fellow donut-house-builders.

Does anybody ever scroll through instagram/twitter/tiktok/tumblr, whatever and find someone who has made their original story/art public and you realize that it's almost exactly like your own original story/art that you haven't made public so now you feel like you can't make your story/art public because you're afraid of getting canceled or attacked because you'll be accused of copying that person?

...

no just me? okay ;-;

reblogging this because I'm gonna go back and read them all.....heh :)

Hi I saw in your pinned post that you've read over 1,000 TMNT fics. Do you have a few really good ones you would recommend?

(don't feel any pressure to respond if you don't want to)

Oh boy this is...quite an ask. Especially bc fanfic recs are so personal? What I think is a good fic will be vastly different from other people. I have a really high angst tolerance, so please double check tags with these. Also keep in mind that I mainly read donnie-centric fics.

Here are my personal favorites! My hand slipped and I have more than just a few to recommend...what can I say there are so many good fics.

CRACK BUT READS LIKE CANON

Back To School by Em_H | 10,965 [FINISHED]

Donnie enrolls in April’s school and tries to juggle his packed schedule. A shrek play is included. Do I need to say more?

☆ In Volvunt: a RotTMNT Fanfiction ☆ by kittylittersmoothie | 27,082 [FINISHED]

In which the rest of the bros continuously try and fail to rick roll donnie. A war is started, alliances are made, betrayals occur, this is a hilarious feel good fic. It’s very in line with the show tonal wise and the dialogue is very rise

Mikey's Jam-Packed, Guaranteed to Get Donnie's Memory Back, Friendship Tour! By Eyse | 92,972 [ON-GOING]

Donnie wakes up with no memory of anyone including himself. Que his brothers trying to find ways to get his memory back. Has some of the most wacky adventures and scenarios I’ve ever encountered in a rise fic. Feels like you’re reading the actual show

YOU WILL BE EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED

Quiet Your Mind by daedelweiss | 18,081 [FINISHED]

Fusion Au with the disaster twins set in the bad future timeline. I don’t cry. This one made me cry. Bittersweet ending.

Telepathy (of a Twin Variety) by vosian_nightmare | 24,423 [FINISHED] 

My personal favorite twin telepathy fic. Character study on the disaster twins.

Something Borrowed, Something Blue by Cass_Phoenix | 31,963 [FINISHED]

A Donnie from an alternate reality kidnaps Leo. Or is he bringing him home? This one will fuck with your mind. One of my bookmark notes is “Reality existentialism” 

Firefight by remrose | 94,480 [ON-GOING]

What if donnie gets trapped in the prison dimension with leo? I’m usually not a fan of changing plot points in the rise movie or suicidal leo, but this fic is the exception. It is VERY well written and has some of the best exchanges between the disaster twins. You WILL be scared for the characters and your heart WILL be crushed. Proud to say I was here for this fic since chapter 1 bc that NEVER happens with me

THE CROSSOVERS

Familiar Places, Foreign Faces by Petra4President | 36,434 [ON-GOING]

Rise/2012 Crossover Fic. The Rise Donnie & 2012 Raph fic I didn’t ask for (I read this before watching 2012) but didn’t realize I NEEDED. Donnie gets sent to the 2012 universe and must find a way home. 

A Tale of Spirits by unorthodoxx | 168,344 [ON-GOING]

Rise/Avatar the Last Airbender AU. This one is pretty popular so I won't say anything else except its really good.

I WOULD BOOK BIND THESE

All I have to say about these fics is that they’re REALLY good and BOOK WORTHY

Monsters Among Us by DanzinoraSwitch | 86,136 [FINISHED]

Violet Hues and Holy Blue by SibillaScribbles08 | 115,752 [FINISHED]

I May Be Invisible, but I Still Look Good by Dandy | 124,862 [FINISHED]

MY PERSONAL COMFORT FICS

Things will never be the same (but that's okay) by Petra4President | 14,493 [FINISHED]

Post movie aftermath fic that focuses on the changes created by the events of the movie. Idk what specifically has me rereading this occasionally, but its really well written and a little different than most aftermath fics I've read.

Corrupted Upgrade by Dandy | 25,898 [FINISHED]

Donnie Villain AU with a twist. He really gives off megamind vibes. DO NOT BE FOOLED. THERE’S A REASON EVERYONE IS OUT OF CHARACTER IN THE BEGINNING. I almost slept on this fic and it became one of my favorites. It’s the type of fic that I can read over and over and over.

Turning Purple by Lizardstuff | 48,123 [ON-GOING]

Donnie slowly gets more and more sick post rise movie and the rest of the characters must find out what’s wrong and find a cure. THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, MEDICAL NERDS. Author has done research and any inaccuracies have gone over this EMT’s head. I reread this one every chapter update and every time I’m haunted by “the blueberry french toast paragraph” No I will not explain further, go read it.

MY TOP FIC RECOMMENDATION

Spider's Web with Strings Attached by CurlySwirly | 125,661 [ON-GOING]

Donnie and Leo get kidnapped and are forced to fight in the battle nexus. This is my pick for the most well written fanfic and most in canon characterization with ALL the characters. You will HEAR the characters not just through the dialogue but also through the writing itself. As the reader, you will be beaten down and have your heart crushed mercilessly which makes the pay off the most rewarding, satisfying experience that I've personally ever felt with a fanfic. This fic lives in my head rent free and I think about it at least once a day. It is my all time favorite rise fic and I highly recommend it.

update: just finished it. i cried three times, no cap
