Me When

Thank u @karonkar for letting the discord know it’s TMNT day HAPPY TMNT DAY EVERYONE

I just found this and now I'm going into my microwave

I guess I’m calling this the Lightningbot AU now???

Basics:

- Ed and Edna wanted a child, and having access to all the scrap in the junkyard, made one of their own! They never told him what he was, because they didn’t want him to feel different.

- Jay booted up for the first time without a power source being added at all. His element powers him on its own. This baffled his parents at first, but they just went with it.

- Contact with vengestone causes Jay to shut down if he touches it, which the ninja chalk up to him passing out. The second vengestone is no longer in contact with his body, he reboots. Before he knows he’s a robot, he refers to this as a “freak vengestone allergy”.

- Jay finds out that he’s an android during Hunted, where a rough landing from the portal severely damages his body. The group struggles to repair him with their limited resources. A scrap of foil isn’t gonna fix your face, sorry Jay.

- Over the course of Hunted, he acts largely the same as he does in the original, and treats his robot body’s reveal as something funny and insists everyone just “go with the flow” and not worry about it. Meanwhile the others are OBVIOUSLY concerned, and wonder if the crash is making him malfunction. At some point he snaps out of it and it hits him all at once and he freaks out for real.

- Pixal knew the whole time, literally since S3, and never mentioned it because she assumed they all knew already. Queue Jay having flashbacks to all the little hints she dropped in previous seasons (ie: implying he may need “repairs” or a “tune-up” after a fight, which Jay would shrug off as her simply wording her concern awkwardly).

- When they make it back home, they cannot figure out how to recreate the artificial flesh on his body, and he goes home to the junkyard for repairs and confronts Ed and Edna.

- The “junkyard boy” insult hits him much harder after he finds out, and is extremely self-conscious about the fact he was literally built out of trash.

- He returns to the lighthouse out of guilt and brings Echo back home with him. They bond over being made out of actual garbage.

- His head is a plasma globe filled with a mess of electrical impulses that make up his brain. When people touch it, it acts like a plasma globe, and makes Jay feel odd things (tickling sensations, lavender smell, the taste of kale).

- Once he’s aware he’s an android, he can learn to “possess” other electronics with his element/soul. His mastery over electricity gives him an instinctual understanding of electronics and how they function, which has unknowingly contributed to his love of inventing.

- Much to everyone’s dismay, being a robot opens up a whole new world of puns and terrible jokes for Jay to abuse.

dude, no literally. Ima be honest. I skimmed through the new season JUST to find my boy. and then I realized he is still my favourite after all these years......I miss hims sillies ;-;

Guys very random but do you think that they're keeping Jay in evil purgatory because he's the most devicive old gen ninja and this is the optimum way of keeping the old gens attached to DR as it gains popularity? (I barely go here)

But I've seen people who dislike him for being the chatty/yelly one or whatever he does 🫠 And there's the people who like him for being whatever he does

So you're here for ninjago as a whole, but Jay is either keeping you coming back because either you have to see his 9 minutes to total screen time per season and or jaya angst. Or you're here because lmao Jay's not here AND IS EVIL let's enjoy rightfully disliking his actions for the time being.

Good morning ninblr. It's 12 am on a school night and I wrote a petition half-asleep about why we should get ninjago netflix pfps. spread this around please im so fed up with not having ninjago pfps and i had to rewrite this 2 times
