You have friends that are outside of tumblr who don’t care about the ‘childish’ fandoms you’re in! Omg your so lucky last time i put Netflix on with my friend I had completely forgot I was rewatching ninjago and had just watched she-da so that was the first thing they saw :(
AAAAAAAAAA ANON!! I am so sorry for taking this long to get back to you! I had actually typed a reply the moment you sent in that ask, but tumblr decided to delete it, and I got way too annoyed with it at the time to retype it.
I just want to say, I completely get how you feel. It didn’t always use to be like this with my friends.
For starters, I was shamed at primary school for liking TMNT. In PRIMARY school. By KIDS. Because apparently playing ninja turtles with my friends was so wrong they had to tell me off.
And when I first went to middle school (my first time changing schools, and a huge deal for me) the first thing my new classmate asked me was “You watch ninja turtles?” in a really oh wow way.
Needless to say, it wasn’t good for my confidence.
It took me a long time to convince myself that it was okay. Sure, I already knew it, but it was when I decided that I didn’t care what the others said that I finally became comfortable with it. I fell in love with “childish” fandoms even more then.
It’s not easy not to care. It’s completely normal to want to be accepted by those around us, and I am super grateful to have friends that do. I hope you find people that accept that too 💜💜💜
Reblog this and I’ll send you a Ninjago related ask
Yes please
Can I do little more mature things are people comfortable with that
Most of this probably doesn’t align with the canon. I tried.
Lloyd:
-When he uses his power too much, his eyes glow a faint green and sometimes his vision gets tinted green for a few minutes after.
-Sometimes, he tries to hand off the position as leader back to Cole. It gets to be too much.
-The best thing he can cook are dinosaur chicken nuggets and fish sticks.
-Has eyed green hair-dye more than one time. Never went through with it.
-Goes to comic shops and signs all the merchandise he’s on for fun.
-Does autographs any place, any time. He loves it.
Kai:
-Is the main reason the ninja have hair gel.
-Lots of younger fans have tried his style, which resulted in many ‘KAI CHALLENGE’ videos on NinjaTube. Out of the thousands, only a few dozen are Kai-approved.
-Is the best at hair among the ninja.
-Chews pencils, only stops when he realizes that his teeth are screaming out in pain.
-Spins the life out of wheeled chairs.
-Wears ten layers and thermals in winter or any remotely cold weather.
-Swagger swagger.
-‘Tch, you wish your breath smelled like mine.'
Cole:
-Can take a hit the best out of the ninja.
-Rock climbing boss.
-'excuse me what did you say about my friends'
-'exCUSE ME WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT NINDROIDS'
-If someone insults any of his friends in any way, the object in his hand is first to go then he straight up body slams them.
-Is fiercely protective over his favorite restaurants and bakeries.
-Can make the essentials of breakfast and a few sandwiches with help from Zane but leave him loose with a can of jam someone is going to end up crying.
-Inconvenient Earth Punches. Flaunts his power like he stole it, especially his super strength.
-'Hey dude Jay wanna watch me spin this billboard over my head'
-'Yo Nya do you think that if I ran fast enough that I could punch through that wall, I mean it’s abandoned so’
-One of his favorite terms is 'might as well’ and a laugh
-Slurps needlessly loudly.
Jay:
-Electro puff of hair.
-Combines energy drinks and coffee literally just to try and see how long he can go.
-Sometimes, the only place he can sleep aboard the Bounty is his own bed. The rest of the time he just flops down where there is something that sort of resembles a pillow and snoozes.
-Has a lot of fun with his powers, messes around with stuff like electronic billboards, light displays, and computer advertisement in the windows of computer shops.
-Is an unwavering optimist most of the time. When the ninja actually need an optimist, he starts stomping around and being negative.
-Will fight over the last donut and gets incredibly offended if someone even moves his leftovers. Tries to mark them with markers so nobody will eat them. It doesn’t work.
-Puts his blankets like capes around his shoulders and runs around the Bounty during windy days.
Nya:
-When she suspects people are looking up at the Bounty, when it’s in the sky, she makes dumb faces down to them.
-'I didn’t sign up to be a ninja but neither did any of you, get back to work'
-Bright socks all over the floor.
-Makes nests of blankets at night for her to work in.
-Never trust with a Nerf gun. Also never trust with a water gun, because she will turn a little pistol into a submachine gun of watery death.
-Tries to be a bigger show-off than Kai. It’s pretty much a competition to see who’s flashier.
-Never gets tired of fixing the Bounty or Zane. Both are such complex machines that she discovers something new about them every time. The ninja disapprove of her leaving Zane off 'just five more minutes’ to study him.
-Once tried to figure out the Elemental powers through science, gave up and decided that it was magic.
-Shrugs a lot.
-Gets angry when someone insults her work or the work of any of the other ninja.
-'I WILL SHOW YOU A BAD KNITTING PROJECT YOU LOSER'
-Unlike Cole, who will put down or give to hold something before charging at someone he wants to attack, Nya just slams them with the object still in her hand.
-Will fight you outside of the bakery, but usually not inside of the bakery because bakeries are fragile places.
-Never hesitate to tease, no matter how inappropriate it may be at the time.
Zane:
-Actually got shorter in his Titanium form.
-Has like forty scarves. Most of them are snowflake patterned. Some of which he made himself.
-Insult him and whatever ninja coming at you first will double down on every punch.
-Isn’t quite the mom friend all the time, because he will sometimes try to stop a ninja from doing a stupid thing, sometimes he joins the stupid thing, and sometimes he records the stupid thing.
-The best at ice-skating. Actually probably skates better than most Ninjago professionals.
-Very happy with his weird little family. Very very proud.
-Uses his powers in the nicest way for Ninjago citizens, because he tries not to cause as much destruction as the others. Also likes to cause snow days and make statues made of ice.
-Goes between 'I am so incredibly sorry for all of this’ and 'but what do I have to be sorry about’ during interviews.
-One of the best options for recon, because he can disguise his voice perfectly, mimic a character, and change his appearance the best out of all the ninja.
-Sweetheart.
-Actually gets aggressive if you question his kitchen orders.
-’what do you mean too much peppermint’
-’what do you mean too much vanilla’
-'its always winter you ignoramus’
I love you Circuit! You’re adorable! Who is more fun? Mommy or Daddy?
He bounces around with me on the couch! And build forts with all the pillows! Mommy doesn’t like that so much.
But mommy is so nice and soft! She sings me a song every night to go to bed!
It’s so pretty…⭐⭐⭐
