Sora Ninjago - Blog Posts

How did most of the kids take to finding out kai was a blacksmith. Cause the idea of any one of them finding him making a sword or repairing weapon and maby even asking if he can make them one is cute

I think someone should write a fic where through circumstances out of there control the Ninja should have to fight their students

Ok so idea that probably won't happen but what if the reason Jay is evil is because he somehow rembers kai but like only the name face and that their vaugly friends and through manipulation from ras and he just keeps ignoring the rest of the Ninja. Idk just a funny thought

lego Ninjago movie meets show would be funny if it's during dragons rising and show Lloyd is just trying to find his kids in all of the caos of whatever is happening. Adittionally the exstistential crisis you could give each version of the characters would be funny

Ok but like what if in the part 2 nya starts acting a little bit like how kai did in the pilots. Like angry and kinda avoiding everyone and it would be cool if wyldfyre who (based off her shorts trailer) seems to come to terms with a lot of things.

Adittionally I just think seeing nya be a bit more hotheaded would be cool

First post- and it’s just me shitposting about Ninjago. Anyway here’s my art

​sora is lloyd and akita's adopted daughter. i take no criticism.

I have no problems with Sora x Frak but I do kinda hope Frak's crush is unrequited because Ninjago hasn't really explored that idea. Even with Harumi it's always left ambiguous about whether she actually cares about Lloyd or not.

I... also think it would be cool if Sora was a pink-haired lesbian but... you know....

Every single Sora and Frak convo be like:

Their dynamic is so good, I think I’m gonna like this pairing a lot.

literally going to fight someone about ninjago dr s3 because, before anyone flames me, this wasn’t the best season so far 😞

look I’m not the best at analyzing stuff like this but I do my fair share in writing and research so I do want to share my personal opinion on the story and etc.

you’re telling me Cole basically got ZERO SCREENTIME?? ZERO. NONE.

sora GOING WITH ARIN?? WHAT THE F- why. WHY. I’M LITERALLY GONNA JUMP I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP BUT THAT IS NOT IT

I REALLY REALLY need to see Lloyd start crashing out about losing BOTH his students (i have no idea if Frak is considered his student because… he basically didn’t get focus either)

Ras’ bxtch ahh should go to hell just saying

the only thing I liked was MORRO THE LOML AND MY WIFE PIX AND JAYYYAYAYA MY LOVE

OH AND WYFY AND ROBY THEYRE SOOAJRJRJFJ we love supportive Kai that was the best part btw; theyre literally so father and daughter FIGHT W THE WALL ^^

to be completely honest, I feel like in general there was a lot of comedic moments and less storytelling. the only good storytelling part imo was Ras and Arin’s side: specifically Ras’ mfing manipulation over Arin.

tbf that part was always a masterpiece… not the literal manipulation though

and the part where Jay says Arin’s parents are alive… I’m gonna jump if Ras faked their deaths to use Arin like a fvcking puppet

The flashback of Sora and Arin meeting was definitely wholesome, but not… really… expected or like kind of random ig? I feel like they could have showed it through Arin and Sora maybe feeling guilty and remembering how they met or something, more-so Sora since she ends up going with Arin.

like I get they’re best friends and all but… I feel like more could’ve been done with that(?) to show Sora wanting to stay with Arin in the end, esp with the relationship between the ninja and Ras.

And FRAK. DID. NOT. GET. ENOUGH. …development? Character-wise

Frak suddenly going all “I don’t think you understand what being a ninja is” in the last or second to last episode to Arin, but we don’t see enough interaction to build his idea of that other than being a superfan of them in general

I will never stop saying this: they should give him some kind of arc in helping him switch over from Ras’ “anger and hate becomes strength” technique to the ninja’s. We clearly see him more aggressive on the obstacle course in the first episode, but that’s barely touched on later on…

i do like how Arin ends up being able to do object Spinjitzu well enough in the end by.. using his kindness or wtvr that was… to defeat Thunderfang (who will definitely come back and better die for basically killing Morro… he’s already dead but that’s not the point)

i don’t think redoing the merge can “bring back his parents” even if they were actually dead because despite all that talk on it reshaping reality… idk if that’s how things work

I am glad about Arin still stopping Ras from fighting at times and etc.; his character is probably the best here other than Ras imo

other than we have:

that part in the First Realm (or Land ig) where Frak freaks out about the Oni… dude you’re literally right next to one

frak is so real btw I love him, just wish he could be more refined in terms of character

never mind frak though, COLE BETTER HAVE A LOT MORE SCREENTIME IN PART 2; never gonna forgive the writers for this

Oh and Zane dying for the nth time, that was great

Sora and frak bickering… I take back the shipping from my last post, but I do get Sora for being pissed off a bit

And Lloyd saying “green is the best” I LOVE HIM HAHAHSJSJSJN<33

like I said, there was a lot of comedic relief and stuff: not to say it wasn’t funny bc I cackled at most of them, but the overall story just.. wasn’t what I expected

I stand by my case that season 2 is still the best dr season… at least so far

Idk like I said I’m not really good at this stuff and sometimes I change my mind after hearing others’ opinions so lemme know if you agree or if you wanna throw me to the Netherspace

I NEED TO RANT ABOUT DR S3 EP1 RIGHT NOW BEFORE I COMBUST

I love Frak (praying that his arc is at least somewhat about his struggle trying to switch over from Ras’ anger and hate techniques to the ninja’s) HE’S SO CUTE SOBS I love how he’s like the super nice character but he’s trying to channel his hate LMAOO

I love his relationship with Sora

Idk if I ship them just yet or at all but they’re both so silly and he called her attractive (my jaw dropped)

AND ZANE CALLING PIXAL ATTRACTIVE SOBS HYSTERICALLY MY BABIES I KNEW HE WAS REFERRING TO HER (my jaw dropped more)

Frak saying he’s Arin’s always best friend to Sora I’M LITERALLY GONNA JUMP

oh and Cole and Lloyd SOBSJSJSJSKS

and Frak’s thing with intelligent George HELP ME i get the puppet thing but gravity is most definitely real (i can’t really prove it either)

OH AND THE JAYA IM GONNA AHRHRHFJFHTFJH

Wyldfyre and her silly costumes 😞

impatiently waiting for episode 2 in english

NONONONONONONO NO NO NO THEY'RE GOING TO FLASHBACK SORA AND ARIN MEETING AND BECOMING BEST FRIENDS. I'M NOT GOING TO SURVIVE THIS.

why am i JUST hearing that sora and vania have the SAME VOICE ACTOR???

Wait… frak likes sora…?

Checks memory

Oh im completely blind i see it now

I don't know why people think Sora will actually reciprocate Frak's feelings towards her 😭😭😭 This is nottttttt early seasons Jaya dawg, Sora has not shown any actual interest in Frak, whereas Nya was Very clearly attracted to Jay to some extent. Like I get that Ninjago does usually tend to shove Girl and Guy together but it feels so obvious to me that they're Not doing that again here...

that moment when everyone reblogs the version of the meme that doesn't have the explanation for why Pixal isn't on there so you gotta edit it instead (there just wasn't space but you're right she's another one).

I stand by that Zane isn't a techy guy though (despite being a nindroid)

What are Lloyd and Hellspawn's ages throughout the seasons?

So Lloyd had her about six months before s3, so I headcannon he'd just turned physically 15 then (mentally 11 but in the end, he makes it work)

Rebooted

Lloyd: 15 Hellspawn: 6 months of chaos (& Lloyd almost in tears from stress)

Tournament of Elements

Lloyd: 16 Hellspawn: 13 months (can walk & say two other words than sugar now)

Possession

Lloyd: 16 Hellspawn: 15 months and wondering where the heck her dad went.

Skybound

Lloyd: 17 Hellspawn: A 2 year old menance

Hands of Time

Lloyd: 18 Hellspawn: 3 year old begging to be taught spinjitzu but being told she's too young

Sons of Garmadon, Hunted, MoTo

Lloyd: 19 Hellspawn: 4 year old who wants her dad to stop feeling sad

The Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu & Prime Empire

Lloyd: 20 Hellspawn: 5 (kindergarten is getting fun)

Master of the Mountain

Lloyd: 21 Hellspawn: 6 year old who never expected to end up in an underground whirlpool with a princess, uncle cole & her granduncle. Papa u lie. U said it was a vacation.

The Island & Seabound

Lloyd: 22 Hellspawn: 7 (what happened to aunt nya?)

Crystalized

Lloyd: 23 Hellspawn: 8 year old who wants harumi sent realms away from her dad & left to die

Dragons Rising

Lloyd: 28 (he's somehow very old in her eyes) Hellspawn: 13 year old who won't stop asking her dad how he burned tea after finding out from sora

Where is hellspawn jawing dragon rising?

As much as I'd like to keep her with Lloyd throughout the entire time he was alone, it's uh...*sweats nervously*...it's not gonna happen.

(Fuck, this feels like commiting a crime, but I need to keep things realistic)

Does Lloyd deserve to be happy during his time alone? Well, yes. Is he going to be? Um, no.

:(

...I'm so, sorry green bean.

So she gets separated from Lloyd during the Merge and he hasn't been the same since, just staring at the damaged stuffed dragon in his hands as though that's gonna tell him where she is. Kai does his best to be there for him but there's only so much he can do. In the end, he makes a promise to himself to bring her and everyone else back to his baby brother and leaves with the bounty.

What's the time skip between crystalized and dragons rising again? 5 years? If that's actually confirmed, that would make her a teenager. FSM, how time flies.

And poor Lloyd. He knows he's missed it.

Every time he looks at Arin and Sora, he ends up thinking of her—especially when he sees Sora. He initially maintains a cheery teacher persona around his two students but it slips when Sora finds a photograph of a blonde haired little girl who's with Lloyd somewhere in the monastery. She calls Arin to check it out, and Arin—the ever obsessed fan boy tells her everything.

THIS IS ABOUT SEASON 2 OF DRAGONS RISING NOT 3

Anyone else thinking about how the ninja team combo vehicle  looks like the ultra sonic raider a bit? Anyone else thinking about how many good memories it brought back for the ninja, even though sora had no clue about it and it wasnt intentional? No? Just me? Okie dokie then.

Just finished dragons rising s2!! even though I’ve already seen some spoilers for s3p1, IM STILL SO EXCITED TO WATCH IT !!!!!! more of my hyped thoughts abt s2 are below (WARNING: spoilers for Dr s2! just incase some ppl haven’t watched it yet. oh, and a yap warning.. bc yeah.. I talk a lot. help.)

pros/everything I loved - the overall plot of this season, continuing from where we were in s1, is absolutely AMAZING! the stakes get higher with each episode, creating such an epic buildup that pays off wonderfully in the finale, but still leaves you with questions about what will happen next. the pacing is GREAT. I loved this season EVEN MORE THAN DR S1! if I’m being honest, I think that dr s2 is one of my favorite Ninjago seasons, like ever. s2 and s5 will always be personal favorites of mine, but in terms of writing and story, and even animation (bc the freaking shading is BEAUTIFUL), dr s2 takes the cake for me. from Lloyd’s arc of getting over and adapting to his visions, the mystery during the tournament, to Arin’s well written and ultimate betrayal— this season is seriously outstanding in nearly every single aspect. all of the characters (even if some didn’t get as much screen time as others), are written extremely well and are very interesting and entertaining to watch. every character has so much thought put into their writing, and that makes them so much more emotional and easy to get attached to. for example; despite Arin’s betrayal and ignorance towards Sora, the writing does not make you hate him— rather, feel bad for him, and understand where he’s coming from, which is what makes his character in this season so interesting. and what makes his writing even better, is that this arc for him, was being built up since season 1. making Arin’s betrayal a slow burn affect is 100%, the BEST way they could’ve wrote this route for his character. I also want to talk about Lloyd, because undoubtedly, I find him and Arin’s character writing to be the best out of any of the characters this season. obviously, Sora, Nya, Wyldfyre and Kai all get their important and emotional moments/arcs as well, but I just felt that Lloyd and Arin really stuck out to me in terms of writing. I love Lloyd’s arc of having visions, eventually getting over them, and then having them come back to haunt him during the last few rounds of the tournament; it was just really enthralling to watch how he dealt with it. Nya’s reaction to learning that Jay had lost his memories was so heartbreaking to watch :( I like that Nya was telling Kai about it during the end of the finale, that was a nice touch. speaking of Kai, holy shit? he’s the goat?? he was trapped in the nether-space for idek how long, and the MOMENT he gets out he just starts BEATING THE EVER LOVING SHIT OUT OF NOKT! I kid you not, I replayed that scene about 15 times. like oh? my gawd? the line: “don’t you DARE touch her! ..that’s my sister.” DID NOT HAVE TO GO SO HARD BUT IT DID! there’s still so much i wanna say about how much i loved this season, and i wanna go more in depth about the character arcs and the villains, but this is getting pretty lengthy already, so I’m just going to stop here before i get even MORE carried away.

cons/things I didn’t like - legit my only gripe with this season is that we didn’t see more of wolf-walker/wolf mask Jay. I think it would’ve been better if we saw him for more than just one episode, or at least have him sideline all the other battles with Lord Ras and Cinder, driving the heartbreaking point home that Jay isn’t on the ninja’s side anymore. but I guess if they kept him there Nya would’ve kept pestering him 😭 I understand why they took Jay out early, but depending on power levels it also doesn’t make sense. not saying that Jay is stronger than Nya, but i believe in one of the Ninjago books, we find out how Ras recruited Jay- and while yes, Cinder almost killed him using Shatterspin (before Ras told him to stop), Jay was still one of the longest to last against Shatterspin without using the Rising Dragon technique. it’s also notable that at that point, Jay didn’t even know how to fight? if he lost his memory he doesn’t remember any of his training either, correct? idk, you’d think with Ras’s training AND knowing how to use Shatterspin, Jay would’ve lasted more than just one round. oh well. this isn’t really something that ruins the whole season for me or anything, this one nitpick is pretty much nothing compared to how many things I DID love about this season, but it’s still a writing decision I don’t really care for.

and thats all my yappings.. I’ll definitely come back to talking about this season, perhaps I’ll make separate posts on each character/aspect of dr s2 I want to analyze, but for now, that’s all. thanks for reading this huge thing! I really appreciate it!! 💙💙

Ninjago as aroace Tumblr comments part 2

Does this look familiar?

German isn't my main language but when I was a kid I used to watch lots of cartoons in German. I think my parents wanted me to learn the language. It was actually the first language in which I ever watched Ninjago, but I haven't done that in over a decade.

Luckily I still understand about 75% of it so I can watch the new episodes early, but that's not what I wanted to say. They kept the same voices, man! 😭 It's been ten years and they sound the same. When I heard Kai and Nya speak I felt like sobbing. Oh, how I missed them and I didn't even know. This is what they sounded like when I first met and fell in love with these characters. I've been following their adventures in English all those years, but hearing them in German again felt like meeting an old friend.

Also, German Sora, Arin and Wyldfyre are perfect and incredibly spot on.

Hear me out. Lloyd as a girl dad.

You see my vision?

Look, I know they are trying to compensate for the lack of female representation in Master of Spinjitzu, but you gotta appreciate Dragons Rising giving us so many new cool, diverse female characters.

Sora: So, Master Lloyd, do you have a crush on anyone?

Lloyd: The only crush I have is this crushing anxiety.
