Hes Jumping Up Kicking Back Flipping Around AND Spinning

If somebody says one more time that Kai deserved to not only get kicked but also beaten up by jay in that one fight scene in crystallized I will THROW HANDS. No, I DO NOT hate jay. But I DO HATE tommy anderson

we know why jay acts the way he does. we have information about his past. we have an entire season about him and how he perceives himself (sky bound). Nadakhan literally pointed out that jay uses jokes to cover up insecurity. His true potential showed that he was insecure about being himself (until nya talked to him etc). We got like three seasons of him being the hero and saving entirety of Ninjago.

We were given Information about Cole’s past. We saw his childhood with his gorgeous mom. We saw in his true potential how he desperately wanted to be accepted by his dad. We saw Zane’s past. We saw how he sacrificed himself for the Ninja, understanding and acting upon the same words Kai had told him, “it’s about family, not numbers”. The writers could dive into Zane more, but we got something. And we also got some Nya, why she’s a perfectionist, why she isn’t that verbal, why she’s Independent; Kai said so himself, after all. Even though I wish we saw her talk with Nyad more, we still got her. And the entire series is about our boy Lloyd. And even though every one of them could be explored so much more, we got something. And for a few ninja, we got a lot of something’s. But not Kai. Rarely Kai.

Kai’s true potential was protecting someone. And I loved that, I did. But that’s it. If anything, it literally points out that no, he is not selfish. We never got a season truly revolving around Kai’s childhood struggles/trauma. Why is he reckless? Why is he protective? Why does he never cry? While the other ninja have their spotlights, Kai never had his. He is such a complex character (that ninjago refuses to dive into) and that’s why I love him so much.

I know. I know Kai can be rude to Jay sometimes, and bully him, but if it came down to it, Kai would die for him. Because this is the man that makes his sister happy, because jay does mean a lot to kai. Kai doesn’t show it - frankly, he doesn’t show a lot of things. And I know this doesn’t entirely excuse the way he acted toward jay before, but why. I want to know why he acts like that. But the writers never dwelled on it. Jay is allowed to confront and express his feelings about how Kai for ‘bullying’ him, but not like this ( by the way, idk if I guys noticed but lately Kai has been complimenting/hyping jay up a lot now.)

And when jay, who is grief stricken, leads him self to believe only he loved nya in the entire world, kai is allowed to get angry. Kai is allowed to feel anger towards someone acting like no one else loved nya when Kai raised her. Protected her. Did everything for her. Just because we did not see as much of Kai grieving as we did of Jay, does not mean Jay was more upset. For all we know, Kai was dying on the inside. She was his sister for gods sake.

Kai did not “deserve” that kick. And if you genuinely think that, i honestly do not know what to tell you.

uhhhhhh au where kai sacrifices himself and becomes one with his element except... not really

the others try so hard to bring kai back but every time, it's a different person. it's then that they realized that all these people were previous masters of fire (i'd like to think ray is also there but as a partial vestige, kind of like all might's vestige in one for all) for they came from fire and therefore to fire they shall return. and yet, kai isn't one of them.

it's only until much, much later that the ninja find out where kai went: his fire was different because it was always fueled by his need to protect his loved ones with everything that he had. and what better way to keep them safe than to become one with the sun, where he could always watch over them?

You know, the saddest thing about being head-over-heals for the RGB sibs is that you know the show probably won't fulfill that need for us... no will they have Lloyd call Wu "uncle" again... why are we losing so many cool familial things here??? I just want Kai and Nya and Lloyd to interact and be siblings... :(

NINJAGO: VILLIAN EDITION

alternatively: modern ninja as villains w/modern weaponry (no powers)

Cole : 

weaponry: shoulder guns, shoulder cannons. physical strength king - kneel before him. i feel like the type of shoulder gun he would use is:

also im not sure if ‘gauntlets’ would be considered modern but idc and im gonna show you anyways <3 

not sure if you can tell but the pink-haired girl (vi) is using gauntlets. honestly any kind of gauntlet would look good on cole. pistols/bombs aren't really his thing, so if he doesn't have his trusty shoulder gun its punching time!! ouch!! 

pastime hobbies: collects rocks. has a pet rock. spends stolen money... on expensive rocks. big foodie btw. knows and has eaten at every 5 star restaurant in the country. artist.

role in evil villain plans: on field member, normally gives out orders/directs missions. takes care of opponents with ease (scary good puncher). occasionally the getaway driver, best music taste. also an incredibly skilled artist, always leaves graffiti behind a crime scene. would never hurt a kid. loves robbing art shows. somehow always gets blood all over his clothes so he just shows up wearing black. has enough patience for assassination, and is incredibly skilled at it too. also muscular tattooed cole supremacy

code name: skullcrusher

Nya:

Weaponry: normally sticks to a pistol in one hand, but rotates with shoulder guns. hasn't mastered either one, but decently skilled with both. queen of physical strength. shoulder gun (1st pic) + pistol type (2 pic):

(she doesn't wield double pistols though, just one)

pastime hobbies: hacking, creating bombs (she and jay are the ‘bomb’ team, creating and disabling bombs is one of their prime talents.)

role in evil villain plans: nya ( + lloyd/zane) come up with the plans. girlie  plays two roles: 1) stays in the evil lair and gives the on-field members information, monitors coms, and she is humanities cause of identity theft. 2) fighting on field , because hey; if you want something done right you do it yourself. similar to cole, also excels in physical fights. handles money/finances and reigns over the black market. people fear her online and in person. Also, she and jay make bombs together

codename: glitch

Kai:

weaponry: i have said it before and I will say it again: kai. mastery over double pistols. both hands. agility + double pistols = this is what i call supremacy. also, he uses bombs. terrifyingly. (who else did you think nya and jay made bombs for?)

yes. these are pistols. ik its hard to see but i promise they are pistols

pastime hobbies: training, pranks, retail therapy (he is the biggest money spender.)

role in evil villain plans: flirts with law enforcement, engages them in  a false sense of security. can also blink pretty and look harmless in order for the enemy to drop their guard. excellent liar/actor, does not have enough patience for assassination. he thinks that being the last thing his enemy sees is a blessing for said enemy. isn't afraid to wear white clothes when killing bc somehow he evades every blood drop (he is the most agile, after all). when things don't go according to plan, kai’s in charge. he works best in unpredictable situations.

codename: inferno

(For a fighting style analysis check out my post abt that!!)

if people like this I guess i’ll do the others too!!! also all weaponry pics are from Honkai Impact 3rd <3

do you guys remember in the beginning /middle of ninjago we would rarely see cole but in the recent seasons he finally has the spotlight he deserves

we all know out of every ninja he had one of the BEST self centered season like master of the mountain (season 13) was absolutely AMAZING and cole SLAYED like the king he is and just <333333

our beloved our king how could anyone hate him

also I feel like people always underestimate cole and his power like kid is the master of EARTH you do realize he can split the earth open or crush your skull right but he would probably choose to hug you instead

I just finished the ninjago finale.

the worst parts were probably

---the major plot holes (like hello?? why werent maya and ray there before? why was the prophecy on a piece of origami paper?  why didnt lloyd embrace his oni form?? wasnt the entire point to embrace it?? it coudlve been so much better if lloyd learned to love all parts of him)

---furthermore, the relationship between kai and skylor seemed soooo forced,

-----and i am not ready AT ALL to forgive harumi and let lloyd and them be a ‘thing’ like hellO??? i understand harumi is trying but she lied to lloyd BILLIONS of times thats just downright toxic.

-----not to mention we were ROBBED of RGB scenes. like hello?? sibling relations are just as important as romance?? why is ninjago getting rid of the best interactions (RGB) in the entire show??

---doesnt feel like a finale

---the fact that they are always losing their powers it getting really repetitive

---the ‘plot’ was very predictable and got a little boring

the best parts were

---- garmadon lord i love this man

---- i love christofern.

----i also loved minipix <3 (although a better name would be pixies)

----and i loved the interactions between kai and cole.

---also i loved that we saw the new merlopian king

---and im sorry but it was so funny when pythor told nya to go back to the ocean where she belongs.

---gotta say i also love vinny sm and aspheera is such a girlboss.

---- dragon forms were very pretty

--- the pixane scenes <3

---the newspaper kiddos

every ninja has their own unique telltale for lying that no person but the people within the ninja can pinpoint

when lloyd lies they can tell by his voice, it has the slightest unsure and unsteady tone

when jay lies he sometimes stutters and fidgets with his hands

zane doesn’t do lies [ except for white lies that are beneficial (thanks to kai) ]

cole cannot lie.

whenever kai or nya lie ( both siblings are the best liars on the team ) you can tell by studying their eyes; since they are the most expressive part on their body, and I don’t mean darting or dilating pupils. I mean if you have enough practice you can gaze into their (very beautiful) eyes and study their eyes to see if they are smiling or sad. like yk the “he’s smiling but his eyes aren’t” type of stuff. idk how to explain this ok. it works in my head (and sometimes only the other sibling can tell when one sibling is lying.)
