Yeah, One Of My Favorite Things About Chase Young Is That He Is Literally The Definition Of The "Join

Jermaine: Are you tall enough to play basketball though?

Omi: Are you calling me short?

Jermaine: I'm calling you vertically challenged.

I just watched the first 6 episodes of Ninjago Dragons Rising Season 2 that came out in Germany (I learnt some German as a kid so I understood about half of what they were saying) and I'd like to give just one minor early spoiler.

You know how some of us have been complaining for years that for as much as Lloyd's been traumatized season after season, villain after villain, it doesn't really affect his personality or mental stability all that much? Like for the most part, Lloyd is pretty chill, reasonable, wise even, and that's great. I always liked that about him and watching him grow into this person over the last 10+ years has been nothing short of amazing. I'm seriously so proud of the little green dude, but sometimes I feel like the writers are afraid to really dive into the long lasting effects this kind of trauma would normally have on someone's mental health. Probably since it's a kids show and they think they can't handle this sort of thing, although some kids face some pretty traumatic experiences in real life which really should be acknowledged more.

Anyway, they finally did it, THEY GAVE MY BOY ANXIETY!!! 🥳🎉

Like actual panic attacks, he even calls them that! They usually don't last very long and he can snap out of them relatively quickly, but they are handled pretty well and well integrated into the story.

Also, Nya is Lloyd's emotional support (yay Dragon Siblings), like she's been since Hunted or Sons of Garmadon actually. She's the one Lloyd opens up to the most and she's the first to notice whenever something bothers him.

It can be as subtle as a glance, a smile or a touch on the shoulder, but Nya always knows how to comfort Lloyd, and this just makes me so happy

Anyway, this season's been great so far and I can't wait for the rest of the episodes to come out. Sorry for ranting

Dashi: It was my idea. The responsibility is mine.

Guan: No. I'm the responsible one.

Chase: Guys, guys, you're both too valuable to risk. It should be someone expendable.

Chase: Like Dojo.

Dojo: *snaps his head up immediately*

Dojo: WHAT?!

Sun Wukong: Man, I’m gonna get fat if you keep feeding me all these chips and junk!

Macaque: I’M NOT! I was eating them and you took them.

Sun Wukong: You said I should try some!

Macaque: I said they were good.

Sun Wukong: That’s not how I heard it

The ironic part about headcanoning Perry the Platypus as intersex is that the opposite of intersex is actually called perisex

Don't know about you, but I'll be totally devastated when Candace's iconic pink flip phone inevitably gets turned into a generic smartphone for the remake. I know it was already happening in the newer seasons in the mid 2010s, but it used to be Candace's signature accessory and part of so many cozy memories. I think it will hurt seeing it happen all over again, just a little reminder that things will never be quite the same

Tang: Hey, wanna hear a funny joke?

Pigsy: I only like dark humor.

Tang, turning off the lights: What do you call a fake noodle?

Pigsy:

Tang: An IMPASTA!
