Day 1 : MASK
(I'm very aware it isnt April just deal with it i'm so boreddd)
If I had a nickel for every time a ninja voiced by Ben Schwartz tried to sacrifice themselves by throwing themselves through a portal in order to stop a dangerous enemy & protect the people they care about, I’d have two nickels
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
have you ever drawn norway?🩶
I used to draw him on my sketchbook
[WARNING: CRYSTALIZED SPOILERS]
Garmadon: I started feeling empathy towards my child.
Wu: ....
Wu: Not towards Harumi?
Garmadon: Not towards Harumi.

Garmadon: *suddenly takes out of nowhere a plant*
Wu: ....
Wu: What the hell is this brother..?
Garmadon: My child Christofern which I love.
Garmadon: Why are you asking?
Wu: ....

I can’t be the only one who played and continues to play silly ritual games
on the mischaracterization of norway, a mini character analysis (because i feel like people are tired of me going 'oh, i like canon norway so much more than fanon!' without explaining myself)
before anyone starts barking at me, you can prefer fanon interpretations! that's 100% fine! the point of this post is to discuss what canon nor is actually like, because i feel like most people don't even know that there's a difference between canon and fanon
a) on seriousness
i feel like there's a big dissonance between the serious, solemn norway portrayed in fanon, and how he acts in canon! don't get me wrong, he can be serious, but he's also a silly guy! he has a sense of humour and he likes to tease and be kinda mischievous!
some examples from the manga that i feel show this! (there's a lot!! this is a recurring character trait!!)
b) on being cool (he's not) (not even a little bit)
point being that he's a loser and a weirdo and strange and awkward and shy and, unlike how i usually see him in the fandom, not suave at all :,) examples (image order is right to left):
c) on his relationship with other characters
this is gonna be a quick point because tbh it deserves its own post haha but 1) dennor like each other!!!! it baffles me that people act like they don't! norway teases him a lot but he clearly cares!
also a good place to add an explanation as to how nor uses the words "bro" and "brother"! hima has said that his use of the japanese "anko" is meant to resemble a regional japanese accent where the word is used how "bro" would be used to refer to a classmate or friend! it's not meant to be nor thinking of denmark as an actual brother
2) he and ice are silly together :) he calls him just to ask a single question and hangs up on him. he threw him a surprise birthday party right in the middle between their 2 birthdays! he's not just an overbearing older brother, he's genuinely warm toward him!!
animatic for that one Osomatsu san radio where the seiyuus snitched on eachother
