Idk how this could’ve fit in, but it would’ve been cool to see Nya & Kai interact w Ray & Maya in Lost in Time & have their elements function differently I’d love if their powers spazzed out when they were near eachother since they’re the EXACT same power, just from diff times

s1 Nya was handled soo so well i wish they kept that going for s2-3 like they did the "girl power" trope but ACTUALLY NAILED IT, she got to RLY help the team almost nonstop! they even addressed & rectified her being sidelined in the same season which was so rare in early Ninjago ignore the s3 gif

TAHU & LLOYD TOGETHER IN THE CMF LINEUP YESSSSSS

WDYM I COULD SELL MY LLOYD DX FOR A BAND NOW WTF HAPPENED ON BRICKLINK

Just remembered the trailer already spoiled that they die UGH I can’t have shit can I $110 for the set too 😭 not a great method of advertising

the fact that the animators accidentally put the wrong sword here combined w the new knowledge that there were multiple green ninja is so unbelievably funny man like ik Morro wasn't a master of life but it still just looks like he got cheated out of the role so hard 😭

I rly don’t like how DR presents sm lore like “It’s OBVIOUSLY been like this all along! Fuck you.” (literally what Life is saying to Lloyd here lmao) Wish magic is a prime example. They just had Arrakore go “This is how it works duh,” without explaining why it was diff from s6

The ONE part I do like abt this shakeup is the implication that Lloyd missed his calling to the Whispering Wood because the tomorrow’s tea cheated him out of his childhood That’s a rly cool s2 tie-in… but not rly enough to justify how scuffed the green ninja prophecy is now 😭

Yea forget this now we know that the only reason Lloyd was chosen was because he’s a master of life… nothing else special abt him :(

Not sure what you’re doing here but I support this algorithm

Am now realizing that this tweet directly contradicts what I’ve said in literally all of my other green ninja tweets LMAO (my argument that master of life ≠ sole criteria for being the green ninja) Oops Sorry Idc They’re Lego 🤤

Smth else worth highlighting is that Wu (who I would imagine is aware of the fact that there were previous masters of life) thought that the green ninja could've been ANYONE (or at least any elemental master) every master of life being a GN would undermine his uncertainty

Since it’s likely that Zarkar was a previous master of life, it’d be interesting if they leaned into that w Ras’ hatred for Lloyd Esp considering the fact that (depending on what actually happens/happened) Ras might’ve BEEN a master of life if his ancestors weren’t eradicated

@docwyattbeyond.bsky.social will we learn why the golden weapons react to a master of life, an element from a source that none of the four main elements of creation originate from?

Idrc for this now but I do wanna respond to ppl (on twitter lol) saying “multiple green ninja” weren’t confirmed - Life mentions the GN RETURNING, implying that one (not Lloyd ofc) has been there So there were either multiple, or the script’s word agreement is j sloppy (tbh DR’s usually is lol)

Who up running out of ideas so u change the most classic prophecy in the series

Was I the only one who thought Lloyd’s element was a blend of creation & destruction? & that the green was its base form but Lloyd could learn to access diff parts of the spectrum like in s15 w destruction But no Lloyd j has multiple powers now 😭 (life & heritage-based ones)

So there were other green ninja BEFORE Lloyd man Idek what to think abt that 😭

I love how the Dragon of Life sounds like wood creaking or a tree being uprooted when they rise

Dead JoJo characters at the end of each part

Thinking abt when I mentioned bluesky and Jae went “wtf is bluesky” and how real that was Literally just Doc Wyatt app that’s it LMAO

if s4 is where Riyu finally gets an arc beyond training I WILL BE SO HAPPY I WANT MY BOY TO DO SMTH PLSS!!

Life suspiciously good rn I should probably bricklink more Harumis

At least my cat had fun

It’s so unreal and lowkirk embarrassing how much Ninjago I had to package, drive, unpackage, & rebuild when I moved last summer like what Praying I’ll only need to do this ONCE more in my life cuz omg

I think it’s just a little funny how a lot of Ninjago characters’ fakeout deaths accidentally double as the death of their best eras of characterization 😭 tho tbf Zane was still amazing in s4! it’s after then that he started to regress. & I love Harumi alltimes anyway soo

Hi i reeeaally like this boat

this thread will have each chapter of Web of Masks - The Book of Deception as they release! a could-be-canon continuation of my favorite character’s story… & probably my favorite of the two books hope you all enjoy 🕷️🕸️

i’ll add each chapter of the first Web of Masks book to this thread as they release! thru this story, i’ve made my ideal continuation of Harumi’s arc, staying within the bounds of canon. the whole story is also on my twitter & ao3 profiles (@Tristler_406) i hope that you’ll enjoy the result too 🕷️🕸️

all Web of Masks books can be found in the replies of this post! set before Dragons Rising, Web of Masks follows Harumi as she grapples with her demons - both mental and physical - in the post-Merge world targeted not only at Harumi fans, but fans of Ninjago as a whole 🕷️🕸️

I’m assembling a team

It’s true, she helped!

So Garmadon being especially proud of Zuri was absolutely Harumi foreshadowing right right (at least for the second half of s9 & s15 when he actually gaf abt her)

Lloyd is responsible for Frak’s existence by releasing Pythor btw lol

his parents here r meant to be actual constrictai & venomari tribe members… And they’re all just whippers 💀 at least use the Mezmo head model (which WB has!!) for his mom, this is just sad

Worth noting that I’d prolly be much more excited for s4 if last year’s story wasn’t so unremarkable (looking at you thunderfupa)

I just sighed so loudly what are we doing man

You know the Dragons Rising burnout is real when I’m more excited for Mando & Grogu than s4 😭

I think DRs4 would need to bring back Harumi for me to gaf

They highkey didn’t get any better w this in s3 btw besides maybe the s3p1 spectral lands stuff (the s3p2 spectral lore was a mess) S2 was pretty good abt its lore (besides ep 2’s nonstop word vomit) but man did they regress in s3 lol, esp when any villains were involved

Almost feels disturbing to see a bunch of kids referring to the five as some kind of deities because of how much of a (terrible) impact they had on their realm

Happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate (mememe)

The craziest thing abt this is that the original X1 build is still one of the most show-accurate vehicles we’ve gotten Prolly one of my lowest picks for a legacy remake since it already worked so well… and yet here we are w TWO more overpriced, less-accurate ones 😭

Waiting for the day when Riyu finally talks and sounds like this for no reason

ik Harumi's name means beauty/truth to fool ppl, but it's also cool (& funny) that it sounds like ruminate, considering how much thinking it takes to understand wtf goes w her 😭 +her kanji can be read as "spring" to represent renewal... redemption arc was there all along 😼😼

She is not happy rn.

Dread on Arrival is peak because it’s just Harumi & Garmadon saying each other’s names in the funniest ways possible

Him acknowledging his dragon heritage but not his Oni blood… I see you Garmadon family generational trauma…

Harumi’s theme using a flute here is so interesting s8 only used a flute for her when she was “good” (until ep 81). By that logic, this would be the moment where she began her “redemption” …as she asks Lloyd to join her… Which was likely her way of asking for help/an escape
