no yeah. this is definitely NOT my pc wallpaper ..... 👀🔥
This was him after going through the most traumatic event of his life btw
yo! I'm so proud ~ I'm scared shitless of doing the same.
Something about an IV sticking in/out of me....*intense shivers*
making myself less scared of surgery tomorrow by pretending I'm a test subject of some freaky evil scientist doing a fucked up experiment
Speaking from a completely meta perspective. Of course the ninjas are white, if it wasn’t for the fact that they were Lego characters they would’ve all been white with the exception of Wu.
But it’s because of the very ambiguous art style that Lego characters have that people have been able to create their own interpretations of how the cast of characters look. It’s honestly kinda cool to see how different people view their favourite characters. Some people interpret a character to look like themselves, others just have head cannons about how they think a character should look based on other factors. Sky is the limit with these little Lego ninja and there’s no wrong answer when deciding what they would look like.
Whether or not this new live action movie makes the entire cast white, or if they try to mix it up a bit with a more diverse cast it will always feel wrong. The true reason why a live action Ninjago movie won’t work is because it limits the way the audience can see these characters, by giving them a supposed “real” look it makes them feel less relatable with the audience.

dude, no literally. Ima be honest. I skimmed through the new season JUST to find my boy. and then I realized he is still my favourite after all these years......I miss hims sillies ;-;
Guys very random but do you think that they're keeping Jay in evil purgatory because he's the most devicive old gen ninja and this is the optimum way of keeping the old gens attached to DR as it gains popularity? (I barely go here)
But I've seen people who dislike him for being the chatty/yelly one or whatever he does đź« And there's the people who like him for being whatever he does
So you're here for ninjago as a whole, but Jay is either keeping you coming back because either you have to see his 9 minutes to total screen time per season and or jaya angst. Or you're here because lmao Jay's not here AND IS EVIL let's enjoy rightfully disliking his actions for the time being.
Being a Jay fan is so much fun when u don't have a loser screaming In your ear about how """""horrible""""" he is
LET ME LOVE MY BOI IN PEACE OK
You drop a huge, metal, industrial safe on top of Jay Walker with an earth-shaking CLANG! that shatters the pavement. You open the safe. Jay leisurely saunters out, unharmed, without a care in the world. The bottom of the safe is undisturbed.
I REALLY don't want to post this. but it's fine. IT'S fine. It's stupid and lame, but I'm committing. While this may be a brain child of mine (honestly someone could've already made this and I have no knowledge of this) I'm not particularly attached to it, so construct as much criticism as you want. or kill me, either one works.
just a small warning, this is like. soooo not professionally written (or proofread) at all. it's just a bunch of different types of notes slapped on a page. good luck soldier.
@dreamweave01 this is for you
so the main thing i remember is that it's mainly donnie and mikey angst
OH OH i just got something BIG
so it started out with donatello being replaced by someone else for years and the other turtles had no idea. then it was him replacing himself and then it was leo instead and a few other different versions that i plot holed away. i ended up with raph, leo AND donnie being replaced by robots BY the real donnie (who had died along with the other two) for years and mikey had no idea. then i was like, hm another plot hole, robots dont bleed. and THATS where it all came together.... (evil hand mushing)
boom, bop, bam: they're from another timeline/multiverse
and then the angst started. (side note: i personally dont think i have a good handle on their characters/relationships with each other. i need to rewatch the show and watch the other ones tbh, please take this with the finest grain of salt you can find)
right now, it's just him and donatello in the lair, the other two are out or something. he overhears don talking about "day 1,100, didn't think we'd make it this far without michaelangelo finding out, etc."
"who are you? where are my brothers? what's going on?"
"get away from me. don't touch me"
"don't call me that, you don't get to call me that. not mikey, not mike, or mikester or angelo or anything, none of it!"
he's freaking out. 3 years? his brothers aren't even his brothers? initially he's flipping his shit, trying to get away from donnie(?). for all he knows they could be robots, shapeshifters, anything.
"hey bud"
"GET AWAY FROM ME" he's got his kusari-fundĹŤ spinning, pointed at leo(?)
leo(?) raises his hands "okay! okay! it's okay dude, i'm not gonna hurt you i promise", he reaches to lift his swords out and throw them to the side.
michaelangelo, breathing so heavily, lowers his weapon yet still spinning it. he's leaning side to side, lightly pacing but never turning his back to his brother(?)
"listen, uh. buddy, just come back home and we can talk about this. we'll explain-"
"no! i'm not going anywhere with you"
"do you really think we would wait this long to do something to you if we were going to?"
that stumped him. would they play the long game? tello would. but the others wouldn't and honestly, donnie would get bored eventually anyway.. maybe he should hear them out.
they all sit down together and donnie explains what happened.
at first, he tells mikey the truth and leo and raph immediately berate him for not going through with their inital plan to lie so that mike doesn't flip again. buuuut then I thought it'd be angstier to go through with the inital plan 🫢
Donatello explains:
"So say," he draws two lines on a hologram, one purple, one orange. he points to the orange one, "this is your timeline and this is ours," pointing to the purple line
"In our world, you died. You weren't strong enough, too young maybe, to handle the ooze. As time went by things were normal for us, then out of nowhere a portal brought us to your timeline."
(context dump: the three completely grew up without him, mike has no memories of the portal why? idk yet...trauma response probably..)
L: "We were all confused at first but eventually we figured out that you had brought us here because your us's were gone."
R: "So we figured out the routine, the rhythm. Played the parts that you expected."
M: "So this is...my fault? I took you from your home and you, you just let it happen?!"
D: "I obviously have been trying to figure out a way back but alas, even the most genius of geniuses have trouble with multi-versal travel.
(an: i know, i didn't write much here. i got a little lazy, its literally just the climax)
big crazy scene, like wild colours (lots of orange and yellow) and destruction and stuff like the movie type shi.
D: "MICHAELANGELO, MIKEY, PLEASE. please. I know you're still in there. I- I'm sorry. You didn't do anything wrong. It was me, I lied to you, Mikey."
spell breaks (yippee)
M: "what?"
D: "You didn't pull us away from our timeline. I-" deep breath
"I pulled you from yours."
M: speechless, confused. vulnerable.
D: "You were all alone! You had nothing, no one left. I couldn't just abandon you."
"I thought it'd be perfect. We didn't have you, you didn't have us. It was the perfect puzzle!" sigh "and then we had to go and mess it all up by not telling you the truth."
i said i would redraw it, and i’m actually pretty happy with this one. i wanna explain a few design choices/hcs
jay has a medicine pouch bc I think he’d be a field medic. zane does all the medical stuff when they’re on the bounty or at the monastery, but since jay is the fastest I think he’d serve that role during battle. he also would wear exclusively converse lol. he has lightning scars, most prominently on his face. he’s partially blind in that eye
lloyd has rosacea. it’s pretty common in fair skinned people, and i don’t see it represented often in art
nya likes to dye her hair. she dyes it blue not only because of water, but also because it’s jay’s color. he is the one that helped her dye it
kai has fingerless gloves bc his fire keeps burning the cloth off, until he finally removed them. he also regularly sets his hair on fire without realizing
nya and kai are the same exact height. the only reason he started making hair spikes is so that he would look taller than her. he ended up keeping them bc he liked how they looked
cole can’t work if his forearms are restricted. that’s it lol. he also has steel-toed boots. he has scars on his arms from various hikes and rock climbing accidents
zane uses ice skates. he mostly uses hockey style ones in battle for speed, but he sometimes figure skates for fun. he always has a comm with pixal in his ear
also just a fun note, the height diff between jay and zane is close to me and my younger brothers height diff irl (im shorter)
this is the original that this is a redraw of
GraffitiArtist!Cole.
that's all, thank you for your time. I rlly wanna sketch it
oh my god, me with my au I'm finally writing down
I could try to help if you want....maybe give a fresh set of eyes đź‘€
When you try to fix something and it just creates more plot holes………
If anyone’s willing, I would like a wee bit of help w this
