[Jay orders coffee]
Lloyd: "can i get a hot choco?"
Jay: "we have hot choco in the Bounty"
Lloyd: "we also have coffee in the Bounty."
Jay:
Jay: "can i also get a hot chocolate?"
The one-eyed Allosaurus? Nope.
The pack of well-coordinated raptors? Not them either.
The brand new (and surprisingly thicc) Becklespinax? Not that one.
The pale as fuck, unblinking, raptor whistling creep? YEP. This bitch right here is the scariest creature in Chaos Theory.
Her eyes will haunt my nightmares.
Something i realised about the main 4 ninja’s true potential:
I saw a post here a day or two ago talking about the ninja’s true potentials.
It was specifically talking about how Kai achieved his by saving Lloyd, some kid he didn’t really know, compared to how the others saved people they knew, literally just proving to us again why Kai and Lloyd are the sibling duo (plus Nya. We love Nya.)
But it made me realise something about each of their true potentials.
Each of the ninja saved someone they knew, but not someone they were close to yet.
Cole saved his dad who he was in no way close to at the time due to their bad communication issues. It took Cole acknowledging that his dad wasn’t as bad as he believed to push him to unlock his true potential.
Zane saved the other ninja, who he wasn’t as close to at the time. Zane had just realised that he was a nindroid, and very obviously believed that it would cause a bigger drift between him and the others when added to their differing personalities. It took Zane realising the ninja would never hate him for who he is to push him into saving them.
Jay had to save Nya, who he wasn’t close to at the time either. They both acknowledged they had something between them, but Jay didn’t know how to handle it all and believed that to win Nya over he had to pretend to be someone else. Nya had to tell Jay to his face that she didn’t want some mask he wore, but him. That was the push Jay needed to unlock his.
Kai had to save Lloyd, a kid he didn’t like but reflected who he used to be too well. It took one look at Lloyd for Kai to save him and unlock his.
Each of the ninja saved someone they knew, but not someone they were close to, to unlock their true potentials. These people later became some of the most important people in each of their lives, knowing them inside and out better than anyone else.
It were these people who, despite not knowing the ninja too well at the time, that ended up teaching them each how to accept who they are, flaws and all. That Cole didn’t need to lie about who he is, that Zane didn’t need to be ashamed of what he is, that Jay didn’t need to hide who is under a mask, and that Kai didn’t need to change what he was.
Those people became important rocks in each of their lives. The ninja would not be who they are today if they didn’t save those people at the moment.
Bahsgah i don’t think i shared it right so let me summarise: the ninja had to unlock their true potentials by acknowledging and accepting who they are, and the only reason they were able to do that was by fixing the bonds in barely made relationships with people they know and wanted to be close to.
ninjago fame hcs
- they’re considered to be A-list celebrities in ninjago for obvious reasons.
- every couple of months twitter goes on a hunt to figure out cole’s sexuality and every single time it ends in “all we know is he’s definitely not straight”.
- lloyd has a lot of thirst edits of him on tiktok and he likes them bc he likes seeing ppl freak out when they see he saw it.
- jay has thousands of these “jay walker being the funniest ninja in interviews” on youtube.
- from seasons 1-7 everyone was whipped by kai but after season 8 even if you’re not interested in the ninja you’ll eventually see a nya edit somewhere.
- ppl make zane and vision (from marvel) completions.
- one of the most popular threads about them is how pixal is underrated and should get included in interviews and red carpets more.
- jay has those “the gender envy he gives me” comments. (he does man 😔)
- kai and lloyd have a very close amount of instagram followers.
- i just know that cole does finneas (billie eilish’s brother lol) type tiktoks. (if u haven’t watch his videos where he stitches other tiktoks he’s very dry in a funny way 😭)

Happy birthday king👑
Y’know when Buddy was promoting his campaign in the hallway for the dance and the group threw lollies to the crowd. I BET YOU that that was either Dots idea or she provided the lollies, probably both to be honest. Because shes the candy princess
