Nya Smith - Blog Posts
Soo I've been bored so i drew nya tranforming to her nrg form (not like in the show its based of an art trend ig) it pretty much looks like the nrg form is hatching man idk I'll jus leave it here
The coloured version
Ik its shit but who cares
Anygays hope yall have a great day/night✨
For all jaya fans(ik its rusty but i tried)
Nrg nya cuz why not
The ninjas and their hight (i can't tell by foot im Polish have mercy and i also drew Lloyd and zane for the first time soo yeahh...)
How i imagine nya bring Jay to the monastery (by force)after she finds him
PLEASE FOLLOW kolachiuliia
This is an artist I LOVE they make AMAZING fanart and I adore their Ninjago x Wolf walker au. I went ahead and watermarked their stuff but you can see the unwatermarked version on their Instagram! Their art style is so unique and I NEED them to be more popular
New Ninjago au idea :)
A „10 things I hate about you“ Au with the Smith siblings, but less angsty cuz wdym u paid a guy to get with ur sister 🤨
Nya would not do that and also there is not a universe where the ninja aren’t friends imo
Plot Basics: nya wants to date jay >jay also wants taht > ray and maya are a bit hesitant about that > the sibling clause is coined so Kai has to date someone in order for nya to date > nya and jay think about it and start playing matchmaker with Kai and cole > cole could already have a crush it noz and jay maybe just convinced him taht it’s a good idea idk or he’s calling in a favour > the movie plot more or less happens > everyone is happy and we have two couples
Ofc it can be jsut like the movie but I like when AUs take the inspiration and also the source material anf make a new brain child out of it cuz the characters are not the same which influences the choices they make etc.
But yeah I’m leaving this here and letting it sun :)
Shoutout to @emiko-talks83 <3
We talk about older brother Kai a lot but we need some more big sister nya appreciation. Her and Lloyd were often stuck in the ship together when she wasn’t out samurai x’ing so I think they’d end up pretty close.
One dragon left to go and then I’ll be satisfied 🥰
I’ve also got the 2012 bounty but it is not put together rn and also will NOT fit lmao. I gotta get another shelf
Ninjago hc’s (spoiler free) Minecraft edition
First off. They have a shared server.
Second off. There is a sign at spawn in green text that says “no griefing >:(“
The sign was put there shortly after Lloyd joined.
Jay is really into redstone. Like. REALLY into it. He’s the person that made the working computer in Minecraft
Zane however really likes building and has a tendency to zone in so hard he forgets to like. Exist outside of it for a while.
Nya is also a builder, but specifically the kind of builder that puts those tiny details in to make it look more realistic. Like using player heads as burgers.
Kai is a speed runner and brags everytime he gets to something first (no one was even trying to get that but whatever makes you happy)
Cole just likes to wonder and explore. He’s got a home base but it’s mainly just storage for his souvenirs.
Little ninja hc’s! (No spoilers)
Starting strong with the smiths. Kai and Nya were basically raised by their village. Several people tried to take them in but they were both too stubborn to leave their parents shop
Garmadon carried Lloyd in one of those chest baby wearing things
Jay has rebelled against bedtimes since before he could conceptualize them
Cole was that kid that can only fall asleep to rock music, not lullabies (slightly inspired by movie Cole)
Zane was believed in Santa/toothfairy/easter bunny for considerably longer then most kids
I’m not crying over legos nope not at all (finished dr s2ep14)
Ninjago hc’s sleepy edition 😴
Cole sleeps with a massive weighted blanket, feels like being under a mountain /pos
Nya sleeps with a heated blanket bc it reminds her of snuggling up to Kai when they were little
Lloyd tends to make “nests” out of his bedding, often subconsciously (he is part dragon after all)
Jay doesnt necessarily have a “night light” but he does have a couple low level lamps on (totally not inspired by the jellyfish lamp I got recently)
Kai gets very warm when he sleeps and often doesn’t use a blanket as a result
Zane has the opposite issue. he’s very cold, which most of the time doesn’t bother him, but sometimes he just needs to bundle up under a massive mountain of blankets till it’s hard to tell if he’s still in there
Pixel doesn’t NEED to sleep (neither does Zane but he developed the habit before learning he was a ninjaroid and never dropped it) but she likes engaging in human activities and often plans sleep overs
Cuddle piles are a very common occurrence :}
Ninjago hc’s ✨Jaya skybound trauma edition✨
I saw someone talk about jay having scars from the alternate timeline, and I really like that! The idea that it’s not just their minds that rembered, but their bodies as well.
So jays littered with scars from his time on misfortunes keep, but nya also has a scar from the poison dart. It aches sometimes, it can get downright unbearable.
They both have nightmares from the whole ordeal, and normally the ninja are pretty open about their nightmares. But for these? How are they supposed to explain it? So they only have each other for comfort from these specific nightmares, which makes being apart all that much harder.
He DESPERATELY wanted to forget like everyone else got too. Yo jay it wasn’t fair he was stuck with these horrible memories (side note. I have heard that in dragons rising jays got a memory loss villain arch going on which could totally link into this ehehe)
Jay also has a fear of spiders now <3
HERES MY FIRST ROUND OF NEW DESIGNS WOOOOOO THE NEXT ONES WILL PROBABLY COME IN A FEW DAYS :D
guess whos been doing elemental dragons again...... its been like a year since the last time i did it so i thought itd be fun to try again with a new rendering style from my digital painting class (ILL ACTUALLY DO THEM ALL THIS TIME I PROMISE)
OKAY i finished these last two just in time i gotta go to work now

Kai with his haired gelled: GIRLBOSSING PORCUPINE
Kai with his hair down: Feral Cat In Need Of Restraining
similarly,
Nya with her hair tied: GIRLBOSS
Nya with her hair down: Mass Destruction Warning
ninjago’s biggest flaw: death = development
ninjago has this consistent idea that the death of a character leads to the development of either said character, or the characters who grieve the death. while this concept can be written very well, ninjago can’t seem to get it right.
for example, nya’s sacrifice in seabound. i think her death could have been the BEST example in ninjago of how relationships can grow and strengthen over a shared loss. nyas ‘death’ could’ve been written as a wonderful way to deepen relationships between the characters, ESPECIALLY kai and jay. relationship development between those two would have been such a good concept, stabilizing eachother during times of grief, and so cole (who was, im sure we all agree, the most stable post seabound) would not have the burden of trying to help all members of the team, burying his own grief in order to aid the others, just as he had to do when his mother died.
furthermore, nya’s own death could have been a development strike for herself, but the show did not give her and nyad enough time to show nya once again reestablishing her sense of self, and collecting her memories. this lack of time nya had, and the lack of attention brought to kai’s grieving methods, combined with loss of potential growth between kai and jay, simply proved that what the writers were aiming for (nyas death--> development) did not work out. and im sure u all can think of the other examples where this idea does not work out.
but i think while the death= development IS a problem, there are times where they got it right, and it did lead to development at some point. for example, when the monastery doors collapsed on lloyd, and so he ‘died’ and met with the first spinjitsu master (plot contribution). and, cole’s ‘fall/death’ showed us an extremely rare occasion of kai being vulnerable and scared, and then nya into a phase of blaming herself, which led to kai comforting nya, showing the strength of the bond between the two.
so, ultimately, i believe the true problem, is : ninjago’s inability to correctly and deeply portray grief, because the entire idea of death= development is based on how individuals deal with grief (coping mechanisms), how they carry on with it, and the relationships formed/strengthened by it. if grief is written poorly, then death can never lead to development.
