I remember even as an early teen I always appreciated the Cole and Nya scene from Possession. This was during the love triangle drama, right after Cole and Jay reconciled and before Jaya became official. So it was a pretty big deal, but it never felt like bait for more shipping discourse, just a very genuine, intimate moment between friends.
Cole was being vulnerable and depressed and Nya just wanted to cheer her friend up. She could relate with not having a say in her destiny as a water ninja, embracing an uncertain future. It had nothing to do with Jay or their relationship status. There was no tension. At no point did I think they were teasing NyaXCole, because there was absolutely zero awkwardness between them, it was a completely separate thing. Because before the whole Rebooted drama, Nya and Cole were good friends too, just like Jay and Cole, and I was so happy the writers didn't forget that.
What do you think Dojo did after Dashi's passing? With the whole original trio gone and the Shen Gong Wu all presumably hidden and dormant, did Dojo just take up permanent residence at the temple he's still at today and spend a few centuries mourning alone there? Or did Dojo go stay with the Northern Cho-Cho he said he descends from for a while?
I like to think Dojo stayed at the temple to watch over Dashi’s students, the first or one of the first generations of Dragons in training. Even though there were no Shen Gong Wu for them to retrieve, he probably had to fly them from place to place to fight the forces of evil, save villages, and stuff like that. He also had to guard the Ancient Scroll of the Shen Gong Wu as stated in the first episode.
But he must have tracked down his dragon relatives and visited them at some point. I mean fifteen thousand years is a long time. However, his closest family is the Xiaolin Monks and his home is the temple. The saddest part is imagining how many generations of Xiaolin Dragons he had watched grow only to have to say goodbye.
Still not over this Lego Monkie Kid reference in the Chinese New Year set
Just look at them 🥹
Mei and MK best duo BFFs!
No no no. Quickly, Perry or Candace, one of you do the Ryan pose! He was my favorite. Don't leave my boy out 😭
So excited tho. The nostalgia is real strong with this one
Sun Wukong: Macaque, I've written a love poem
Sun Wukong: Would you like to hear it?
Macaque:
Macaque: Is it to yourself?
Sun Wukong: It's entitled "Orange is the New Sexy"
I might be a little biased when it comes to Lloyd, but Arin lost some major rizz points in my book since the whole "Not from you" thing.
I mean, my dude, Lloyd specifically said when you first met he doesn't have what it takes and doesn't want to be a sensei, but you insisted. It was your idea.
It's not Lloyd's fault Spinjitzu came so naturally to him. It literally took him less than an episode because, yeah, he was that OP. What was he supposed to do? Stick you in a barrel and tryna hit you with a sword because that's literally how he did it.
If anything, you should have asked Kai to teach you. It took him a whole week and he struggled hard, so he might relate at least.
And people comparing Lloyd with Wu now. Lloyd might be a motivational speaker kind of teacher, but he didn't get Arin's hopes up just to shatter them like Wu did with Morro. He just had more pressing matters to deal with than finding Arin's parents at the moment, being the Green Ninja, the dragon conduit and all. And he didn't keep important secrets from him either.
Wu was always a strict teacher who wouldn't let the ninja catch a break and would punish them if they did. Lloyd tried to imitate him at first, but it was like him trying to imitate Garmadon as a kid. He's the exact opposite of that. Lloyd's patient, kind and understanding, and he's doing his best.
Okay, when I start writing my own novel, I'll make the protagonist specifically sex-repulsed, romance-repulsed, we die virgins, no kisses sort of aroace, so people can't find excuses to ship them.
Rethinking Phineas and Ferb episodes in any human Perry AU is kinda wild because sometimes you get funny little moments like when Perry drew the map of Hawaii using the sand in his litter box.
Human Perry could just say: "Yo, fam, let's bounce to Hawaii!" Ooooor he could spread wet toilet paper in the shape of Hawaii all over the bathroom floor like a crazy little maniac. The funny thing is both are equally in character because yeah, he's that extra.
MK: Don't go to the kitchen!
Pigsy: Why?
MK: I saw a spider.
Pigsy: Well, did you kill it?
MK: It has eight arms and I only have two, it's not fair!
