Thank You!

Okay but why does this actually work so well?

So the topic of a Beauty and the Beast AU came up…

Honestly if Jaya hadn't been established since day one, I would see all the ninja strictly as siblings. Something about the Brother sharpens Brother thing, and the fact these 6 have basically grown up together and lived under the same roof for years.

Honestly, the only reason I'm comfortable with Lava or Bruise or Opposite or whatever is the fact Jaya exists. If not, instead of the RGB siblings I'd probably be the biggest RGBBBW siblings stan right now.

Ninjago Dragons Rising Season 2 Part 2 Spoilers!

Not Cole and Geo doing the accidental-hands-touching trope over a fruit stand, literal fruit, a fruit stand! 😭

Like they couldn't make it more obvious if they tried

Have Jack and Wuya ever helped each other with their makeup? Or is each of them just doing their own makeup at the mirror together as close as they'll get to that?

I think they're both too particular about their make up to trust the other to help, but they give each other advice from time to time. It's their favorite bonding time besides plotting how to take over the world

So I finally got around to watching the new Ninjago spinoff trailer and I gotta admit it looks pretty cool, gives off major Samurai Jack vibes, the monsters look straight from an anime and the animation is very fluid. The problem is that after getting used to Kai being pretty much a comic relief character for the past 6 years or so, it's kinda hard for me to take him seriously in this kind of role, especially since Dragons Rising is supposed to follow after.

I mean, Dragons Rising Kai certainly doesn't act like someone who's faced unspeakable horrors and had to mature as a person and go against their own principles in order to survive. Dragons Rising Kai could barely handle these guys:

I don't know. The tone shift is just too big for me.

Samurai Jack had its funny moments too, but they were there to help the viewer breathe between the more serious episodes. This feels like a complete 180. I think it will work best if we think about them as completely different shows, like a dystopian Kai AU or something like that

Nya: Favorite horror movie?

Kai: It

Jay: Saw

Zane: Annabelle

Cole: High School Musical. After watching it I spent all my middle school years terrified that the entire school would start singing something and I'd be the only one who didn't know the lyrics

Still not over this Lego Monkie Kid reference in the Chinese New Year set

Just look at them 🥹

Mei and MK best duo BFFs!

I think the fandom tends to depict Monogram a bit too harsh sometimes. I mean, sure, he doesn't pay Perry well enough and doesn't give him much free time, but that's not necessarily up to him. He's constantly praising and congratulating Perry even for smaller accomplishments like making a cool entrance into the lair or wearing a good disguise.

He worries for him and asks him to be careful during missions.

He organized a birthday party for him even if he got the dates mixed up.

He was literally bawling his eyes out when Doofenshmirtz made all those clones and framed Perry for evil, and he was crying in happiness when Perry proved his innocence.

Sure, he's far from perfect both as a boss and as a person, but he is trying, except maybe the way he treats Carl. That's pretty messed up. But I think he genuinely cares about Perry. He knew him since he was a little baby platypus and watched him grow into the best OWCA secret agent. Of course he's proud of him.

Also, Perry is far from submissive. He respects Monogram to a certain degree, but he won't hesitate to let him know exactly how he feels. Monogram knows what each sarcastic look and side eye Perry gives him mean and acknowledges his opinions and objections.

My point is, Monogram and Perry might be boss and subordinate, but in a very casual, chill sort of way.
