Hey y’all!
Just wanted to give an update on some things! First and foremost, I wanted to clarify that Master of Destruction is not being abandoned. College was really hard this semester, so I haven’t really had any time or energy to dedicate to update it. I’m hoping that over the summer I can get chapters rolling out again.
Additionally, there was another AO3 scraping by AI. Master of Destruction was, thankfully, untouched, but a couple of my other works were scraped. I am now considering archive-locking, meaning only registered AO3 users would be able to read Master of Destruction. This would protect my works from AI, but I have avoided archive-locking for as long as possible because I want my fics to be available to everyone. So if anyone would like to share their thoughts on this, I would love to hear them! I do not want to deny anyone the ability to read Master of Destruction :)
Additional poll of some options I’m considering because I know talking to people can be scary lol
How's the next chapter of Elemental Fighter AU coming?
Sorry if I'm coming off as rude or mean. I just really love your fic.
No worries, anon! Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me!! And I do have a little bit written for the next chapter, but there’s been a lot going on. Finals were rough this year and I have been grabbed by the Transformers brainrot. Again 😔
I promise I haven’t abandoned it though! And thank you again for checking in <3!!
The people have spoken and Garmadad won by a LOT. So as promised, here is some WIP!
"Did I ever mention I once placed first in the Mother-Son Skate Off?" Jay asked, skidding down a bar without any issue. He giggled self consciously, but his smile didn't dim in the slightest. "I should have never admitted that."
"Weirdo," said Mr. Pale, skating by. Garmadon rolled his jaw, stamping down the flicker of protection in his chest. Jay was unharmed by the comment, and the other fighters had every reason not to trust or like them.
"Let's all go to the Royal Arena!" Chen declared excitedly. "Come on, chop chop!" He was wearing skates as well. What was this?
"If most of us have already fought, why are we all in skates?" Skylor asked.
"Ooh, good question!" Chen said. "Two of you will have Jadeblades, and the rest of you will... well, I don't want to spoil it. Come on now!"
"Who's fighting?" Jay asked, gliding past Chen. "I'm dying to know."
"The Master of Form," Chen said, grinning sharply. "...and the Master of Energy."
As Chen and his cultists swept out of the room, anger began to burn in Garmadon's chest. He knew Lloyd would have to fight eventually, but the fact that everyone was involved somehow was not lost on him.
Yes this is about Elemental Fighters
I had an odd theory looking over the TFE episodes (and I am writing this at like 3am so someone else could probably put it a lot better than I can)
What if Bee was a Decepticon at some point?
There’s a little bit of evidence for it - he seems to be on personal terms with a lot of the Decepticons, to the point of apologizing to one of the Insecticons during the battle for the Allspark. He has Decepticon tech - maybe Optimus gave it to him, I’m not sure? Either way, he seems to really know his way around it. Swindle seems to have a very personal vendetta against him, specifically referring to the Battle of the Bay, which is definitely an important battle as it’s when Megatron defected and Dottie lost her leg.
And then there’s the whole thing with Breakdown! I could be remembering this wrong, but does Breakdown mention Optimus “getting between” them or something? They could have been friends pre-war of course, and that’s more likely, but it just makes me wonder.
I’m sure there are other examples. And perhaps he was a spy instead. Perhaps I’m looking too much into this, haha. It just seems like it would fit into Earthspark’s theme of change, and would be something very new with Bumblebee, which they seem to be trying to do with a lot of the classic characters.
Ayo idk if anyone remembers this AU because it has been a hot minute since I posted anything Ninjago related but the first chapter of the Elemental Fighters AU has been posted

I love ur art!! The artstyle looks very appealing! <333333
Thank you so much!! I love your artstyle too! Your shading looks so awesome <33333
Hey uhhhh if this reaches the person who uploaded my art to Pinterest without my knowledge and didn’t credit me, I’d really like it if you didn’t do that. Please at least credit me next time.
Edit: Found the name of the account. Ninjago _Lover, I’d really appreciate it if you would at least credit me.
Heyo just had a quick question. Would anyone be interested if I made an ask blog for the Elemental Fighters AU? It would probably have few updates for a while and I would have to finess the plot but I think it could really help my art. I also might switch between ask blog style and regular comic style depending on my motivation, but if you guys think it would be fun then I am happy to get started!
Some details about the AU from previous posts here: https://frost-the-ice-dragon.tumblr.com/post/674043623487242240/so-what-else-is-going-on-during-the-elemental
Hello everyone! I have unfortunately not been in a drawing mood lately, but I have been in a writing mood! So if anyone has anything they want me to write about the Elemental Fighters AU or anything, feel free to send me an ask!
A preview of the next thing I’m drawing (if the motivation to finish it stays)
So what else is going on during the Elemental Fighters AU?
Hi anon! Just wanted to say that my day has been going absolutely horrible and this ask cheered me up, so thanks for that!
Honestly, this AU kind of just started out as a joke, so I don’t have many actual plot points, but I’m more than happy to talk about what I have currently!
Okay so I already mentioned to @prime-pulse that I think it would be really funny if when they’re all dropping out of the plane onto the island to hunt Nya, Chen didn’t add any extra parachutes for Clouse. So when it gets down to the last parachute, the only ones left without on are Clouse, Garmadon, and Lloyd. Naturally, it turns into a free for all. Garmadon is fighting Lloyd to get him to take the parachute, Lloyd is fighting Garmadon to take the parachute, Clouse is fighting both of them for the parachute, etc.
I want to have lots of Garmadad and Garmason angst with them now being pitted against each other and Garmadon dealing with this new chaotic power that encourages him to fight and get involved in conflict when he really doesn’t want to fight anymore, but so far most of the AU is just season 4 except Garmadon and Clouse are duking it out in the background the whole time (well more than usual for that season anyway).
One thing Leaf and I wanted to make a comic about is Clouse (unknowingly) being the buffer between Garmadon and Lloyd being pitted against each other because every time Chen turns his back, Clouse is rearranging the fights so that he and Garmadon are opponents. Chen probably noticed after like the 10th time and is just like…. Well I wanted drama and to create strain in the father-son relationship, but this is so much better
Hmmmm another thing I want to be apart of it is maybe some Clouse angst? Like towards the season finale (this is @prime-pulse’s idea btw) Chen kind of lumps Clouse in with the other elemental masters and betrays him (cue Garmadon dragging Clouse kicking and screaming into a redemption arc and by redemption arc I mean becoming the weird uncle who only appears during family reunions and reads in the corner the whole time)
I would also want to explore Clouse vs. Garmadon fighting styles. Garmadon practices the art of the silent fist, but Clouse is freakishly fast and strong, not to mention his dark magic. Add in the fact that Garmadon’s powers feed on conflict and hatred and he could potentially exhaust himself quicker while refusing to fight because of that, etc, etc.
Honestly at this point I’m just throwing everything at the wall and I don’t really have a plot. I would absolutely love to finesse the story and possibly make an Elemental Fighters AU ask blog, but right now motivation has been in low supply and I got kneecapped by a new fandom, so I hesitate to do that in fear of creating an ask blog, posting 1 or 2 things and then just vanishing. But feel free to send in asks because I still have a lot of Thoughts about this AU and I would love to share!
(Oh and I should add that when Leaf and I first thought of this it was seriously just Garmadon and Clouse throwing hands every ten seconds, but then @keliharuza opened my eyes to the Garmafam angst! Thank you, it’s really helped the AU grow)
Pspspspsppspspspspps hey
Drawing requests are open if y’all want anything
One year closer to the sweet release of death
Hi everyone! I just wanted to thank @annielin-53o, @bf2511, @badabooh, @psychicruinsdestiny, @frostflameblue, and alicenade for following me! I probably won’t be making a lot of content, so I’m sorry about that. (Plus I have two other fandoms I’m obsessed with at the moment, lol) But thanks again, it really made my day!
