#^ not said in a 'Im the only Real oni fan' way but in a 'Im insane' way

[arolesbianism]

Every day I shake and cry as I stare longingly at years old posts and threads abt oni lore knowing very well that even if the original poster still gives a shit abt oni lore they probably don't give as much of a shit as I do

#rat rambles #oni posting #^ not said in a 'Im the only Real oni fan' way but in a 'Im insane' way #I know damn well Im the only guy who has a several hour lecture about olivia characterization based on barely anything locked and loaded #its just me losing my mind as olivia is mentioned in an email or smth and contemplating the potential deep implications of i #all while the mention in question is just that shell be at a party or smth (that is an actual example of exactly this experience btw) #look tbf it is a fascinating mention as it shoes that despite complications in olivia and jackies relationship olivia is still heavily #involved in company matters including stuff regarding company image and events #well ok saying heavily is probably a bit of a stretch but yknow involved nonetheless #it shoes some strange degree of trust on jackie's part even though she obviously doesn't actually trust or respect her much otherwise #thats a bit harsh but its not wrong jackie very much doesnt respect olivia like at all even if she might not think that she doesnt #and well jackie seemingly doesnt trust olivia to be given privy to certain information #tbf its because she knows damn well its stuff olivia would be against so its not like shes making an incorrect judgement there per say #but I do think on some level olivia is the closest thing to a person jackie sees as an equal #not nearly close enough evidently but olivia is despite everything an important person to jackie #jackie just also sucks and is too caught up in her own ambition to truly see how poorly she treats olivia #she wants olivia to be there and gives her a lot of resources and power along with additional responsibilities so on some level she does #see olivia as at the bare minimum more valuable to her goals than most ppl but along with the evident personal factors it becomes rly messy #it showcases one of the core flaws of jackie as a very emotionally driven person who wants to see and present herself as objective #and you see this is the bullshit I was talking abt I pulled all of that straight out of my ass and the tiniest bit from One email

Hi Hi! I wanna hear your headcanons! No matter if you do one or five I still wanna hear it. I know you said that they can be hard to explain so take ur time if you decide to do this :) 🌴

OK. LETS GO. sorry ik this is gonna be so long already

1. lgbt hcs for the ninja since i did pix

lloyd: agender pan (they/them)

kai: transmasc bi (he/him)

jay: nonbinary gay (they/it/he…. lol <- projecting)

cole: transmasc gay (he/him)

zane: nonbinary bi (he/they)

nya: lesbian (she/her). theres probably some gender in there too but its not a solid hc for me

jay and cole are dating as of s5… ISH. and kai and zane are dating as of like s6… or s8. i ahvent worked it out. nya and pix r dating as of like s5 TECHNICALLY lol but s8 proper. cus shes Real now

2. elemental powers and stuff. lets get interesting

MY HC is that all the elements come from the original powers of creation. so the fsm created the original 4 elementals as like protectors of ninjago . and over time as the powers got passed down they mutated or diluted so u get stuff like smoke coming from fire and mind coming from ice (the future vision part). and as of seabound ig water and wind are completely separate but obviously at some point got similarly diluted so long ago even wu didnt realise they were smth separate

essentially this means that while each element still has connections to its dragon roots (see s4 elemental dragons) only the 4 creation elements can use dragon form.

the elements themselves manifest as dragons similarly to the end of s15 (think kai saying “is that… us?”) and the elements kind of …. ARE an elementals whole being.. almost like their soul. the dragons they can summon are a reflection of this (think like.. the titanium dragon for zane)

my approach to stuff in ninjago that is inconsistent or just silly is either to ignore it or warp it into smth that… kind of makes sense. so here my explanation for the powers inconsistencies in the first few seasons lol

the ninja needed the golden weapons to use their powers in the first few seasons despite it later being revealed they were inherent to them simply bc they were too young. powers usually start to manifest around 18 and without training they might not develop past like. accidentally giving ppl static shocks or smth. and this is bc of the dilution of powers over time and the general … lack of need for them in the modern day. but any power can still become massively powerful if trained! lloyd is a special case in that hes able to access his powers from very young due to being. directly descended from the fsm. and similarly the ninja can all use theirs fairly young as the creation elements… nya is able to access her powers at a younger age due to her … different lineage haha

the reason the ninja cant use their powers proper until lloyd donates their golden power is bc as lloyds protectors their power channels into lloyd. in a normal scenario they would have the golden weapons to channel their own powers similarly to how thors hammer worked in ragnarok. and they would also be older and more able to access their powers. but fate works in strange ways lol

i realise im kinda contrarian abt this lol but the ninja r like canonically resistant to their own element so i think they would not have scara from their own element. so like kai burning himself and stuff haha. its a really cool design trope tho .. but in my mind they wld be more likely to have scars from each other. so jay having burn scars and stuff! similarly kai would feel warm to everyone else due to his internal heat but would feel the cold so bad. kai is out there in like 20C/70F weather shivering teeth chattering. and the opposite is true for zane but he has cooling fans so its not as bad haha

umm… one last thing vaguely related to elements i was thinking abt yesterday. the human form taken by the fsm and like. all the elementals and whatever. its not their real form. the fsm is really more of a divine mix of oni and dragon but his power is like that thing where normal ppl kinda… cant comprehend it. so he takes a simpler form when travelling to ninjago and uses this as the basis for the people he created to populate the world. Yes sorry for putting religion in ninjago. the writers did it first

but it is technically still possible for wu garm and lloyd to access these forms. after his bite garmadon slowly starts to show physical traits of the oni.. and lloyd becomes a version of this original form when using their golden powers. both wu and garm technically have access to it as well but dont rlly ever… it doesnt rlly have a practical purpose other than flight lolol and i think wu is both too humble and too afraid to ever rlly tap into his oni side proper to access it. but wu was strangely good at flying in s15 huh… ^_^

ok actually that might do for now this is crazy long. id like to maybe talk more abt garmabros in another post cus i have lotttsss of thoughts abt them. thank u for askingggg!!!

#put it under a read more bc. jesus it got long #AUTISM LEVEL CATASTROPHIC #ninjago #farts #well. hopefully u guys understand how truly insnae i am now. LOL #hope this all makes sense too. like i said it all kinda wraps around to everything else #sso its hard to mke coherent #but if u read the whole thing thanks so much. so lovely

6.16 liveblog under the cut

(I’m. Not super nice about it in parts. Not a fan of the characters involved. But I like other parts so. Mixed bag.)

hallucinations?

-

what the fuck?

-

“Everybody heals”

okay yeah because that makes forcibly holding someone down and cutting them with a blade totally okay

-

ok hi is no one else asking questions about this? school nurse? natalie? anyone?

why does it feel like theyre repeating s4′s whole “adults dont have a place in this war” thing where all the people attacking are kids Thats my main problem with this storyline honestly

-

“Coyote”

okay, can we get an answer on how normal the other-species-besides-wolf thing is? Because other than kanimas we hadnt heard of other forms

Why coyote? Why not mountain lion? or some type of bird?

Now this feels like its ripping of the chimera storyline

-

oh yay we’re doing the scarabs-from-the-Mummy thing

fuckin NOPE

(at least this season delivers on body horror. jc)

-

@ Nolan and Monroe: great job not cooperating with an FBI agent and making yourselves look guilty af

-

“I wont let you harrass a student” “But you’ll put a gun in his hand”

OKAY THANK YOU AGENT MCCALL

-

“cant tell the FBI exactly what youre investigating?” “something like that.” “then why are you still here?”

Uh? BECAUSE of that? Because whats happening is suspicious af and Monroe already knows HE knows about the supernatural, so the obvious answer is he’s fighting for the kids

Were they trying with this writing?

-

THE FUCK

NO

GET THE FUCK

NO

THIS IS HONESTY NIGHTMARES IVE HAD NO FUCKING STOP WITH THIS

I need to go shower for like. 5 hours now.

-

shut up gerard

-

also your business runs literally underground and has big brother survelience

yeah nothing suspicious there

-

seriously did the villains of this season take a class in “ways to incriminate yourself and be as obvious as possible when you talk”???

-

yup choke him with your bare hands

cause of something goes wrong and the body gets found, no ones gonna trace it back to you

-

also both of them looked surprised and were hesitant

and nolan was like “no hes a person!!”

but then 5 seconds later is looking all turned on by the kid being choked to death

???????

like seriously. know what would be interesting? Nolan seeing that and starting to be conflicted. that would be a good villain arc Not “oh im just going to watch innocent people die, be fine with it, be NOT fine with it for some reason, and then be fine with it for no reason again”

BAD

WRITING

-

Ok heres the thing. Nolan could be very interesting. The mistake theyre making is I feel like the actor either isnt very good, or was basically instructed to just look unhinged constalty

because I cant tell whats going on in his head. is he scared? frustrated? enthusiastic? plotting? worried?

all im getting is head rolls and eyes bugging

whats even more upsetting is the writers said on twitter he’s “mentally ill”

what kind of mental illness? Because aside from the stereotypical “crazy” we see him give off, theres not much evidence hes acting out of anything besides overwhelming fear and judgement

his entire character hits me the wrong way, and not in the good villain sense 

-

pffffffft

theres the toyota product placement

and “cyclone street”

that was not subtle

-

you think you found scott because mason took something to his car and drove off? (blankets??? idek)

-

mason saying what im thinking

(also “hes actually terrible at this” is somehow funny coming fro the guy that found out his friends were supernaturals and immediately starting nerding out over them)

-

ok seriously though, the blatant t.hiam baiting by sticking them in scenes together for no reason is real

-

...theo WHAT are you doing?

-

huh. ok. well done.

(also, theo punching liam as payback made me laugh. If he touches liam again tho I reach through the screen and punch him myself cause uh no)

-

Lydia

can you TELL them you just had a freakin premonition of a BULLET HOLE

THAT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT

-

“Three times!”

GO LIAM

-

I really cant tell if I feel like the t.hiam stuff is forced or not

I do know I love Liam rattling off knowledge he has

-

“I was wrong” “Thats a first”

I love Melissa with all my heart

-

when exactly did Raf find out about the supernatural though? Because I’ve always felt he knew after the Oni attacked him, but its never explicitly mentioned, even when he shows back up in s4

-

Scott signaling Malia theres only one guy

Malia just running out to take him down and Scott being like “waitwait”

SCOTTS HEARTEYES WHILE HES PEEKING AROUND THE CORNER

-

“I think you were right. We should have called this off”

YOU THINK

(also thank you for the lydia feels. Imagine being the only person who can sense death but not being able to say anything because they need the plan to go off)

-

LIAM WTH

-

Gerard imagine what the fandom would be like if someone snapped your neck and dropped you in the ground

-

“theyre here. thats all thats left of them”

I feel physically sick from a) the sight and b) scotts reaction

-

oh shit

-

OH SHIT

-

I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABUT THAT WHOLE SCENE

-

THEYRE LITERALLY SPY MOVIE-ING

-

that awkwardness

awwwwww

“comfortable?”

scooooooootttt

-

theyre so cute I cant

-

HER LOOKING BACK AT SCOTT FOR ENCOURAGEMENT

-

ARGENT AND LYDIA TEAMUP IS SO FUCKING BADASS I LOVE THEM

-

.......is the sound meant to cut off

this is trippy af

-

“Im 18. I havent been anywhere”

SOBS

-

LYDIA SAVING THEM WITH HER SCREAM

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES 

-
