A Ninjago Heathers AU Idea
I adore Heathers with my whole soul(candy store, meant to be yours, dead girl walking and seventeen all ended up on my top songs of 2023 playlist for context), and I love ninjago with my whole soul(70k words of fics in my Google docs, so many hours spent reading and drawing for it, and multiple cosplays), so naturally I want to combine them. But I(probably)don’t have the patience for writing all that, so the skeleton of it is landing here
Cast:
Veronica: Lloyd
JD: Harumi(but like she’s the perfect JD change my mind)
H. Chandler: Kai
H. Duke: Cole
H. McNamara: Jay
Kurt and Ram: Nya and Skylor
Martha: Brad Tudabone
Ms Fleming: Dareth(it just…I don’t think I need to explain it)
Notes:
If you can’t tell, the whole thing is gender bent. tinylifeboat123 has a lovely gender bent Heathers au I used for inspiration/reference 
And to clarify it’s still set in 1989
Okay but Kai definitely gives Heather Chandler. Like he would be popular, a mythic bitch, and sing lead in candy store
Similarly, I think Jay would make a great Heather MacNamera. Also, this would be a Gordon situation, as he is loaded because his dad’s an actor
Look, Llorumi isn’t a popular or generally liked ship(for good reason, I don’t ship them at all when it comes to canon), but idk to me they fit for Veronica and JD??? Like, especially Rumi being JD? She already blew up a building and murdered people in canon
Give me big fun at the Smith house please
Dead Girl Walking would play out differently specifically because I hc Lloyd as hella ace. It still ends in him and Rumi becoming official, but no sex
Blue would also play out differently since Nya is taken(yes by Jay) and Skylor just had her bf(?) die. They would try to convince him to do stuff with a girl(probably Akita but it doesn’t really matter), and when he refuses they spread a rumor that he said no because he’s gay. Cue Rumi using an uno reverse card in Our Love is God(idk maybe a mention about how they both are queer but the world doesn’t love them for who they are and people saying stuff like that are the problem?)
Dead Gay Son could go whatever way you want, but I would probably have it be about scruffshipping(Dareth/Ronin) because I hc Ronin as becoming Nya’s functional uncle post season 5
The dead trio would have a lot more dynamics with each other, considering there’s a pair of best friends, a couple(?), and a pair of siblings(something something Kai and Nya could have been the older siblings Lloyd never had something something)
I definitely could see Dareth leading shine a light. Seems like a very in-character thing for him to do.
Give me Jay having a breakdown over how he rides the bus because all his rides to school are dead. Give me Jay singing lifeboat. Give me Lloyd stopping Jay from doing that one thing in the bathroom. I need it. I NEED it.
The kindergarten boyfriend was Lloyd. He didn’t die, but he has so strongly left Brad behind that in his eyes he might as well have. This also makes the line “I’m so sorry” sooo much worse
Is 90% of this au just for the last 5 songs? Absolutely. They just fit the Llorumi dynamic. Like Lloyd realizes that she is crazy and her being stopped is far more than their relationship being saved. Does Lloyd wish they could have work out? Yes. Does he still try to save her until the very last second? Yes. Is there remorse from both parties? Yes. But in the end she's “beaten fair and square” and dies, and there isn’t a shoved in rushed redemption arc I’m looking at you Crystalized you butchered my girl.
Greenflower in beautiful(reprise)? Maybe a kiss???

hi i literally know nothing about cyberpunk but im DROOLING OVER UR DESIGNS…i like do not have the patience or mind to ever do smth like that so its so cool to see other ppl make really cool designs for several characters like wow. i think zane and harumi r my favorite IM OBSESSED.
what kind of things did u use for inspo ?😳
OH MY GOD?? OH MY GOD?? THE CLAM IS IN MY INBOX?? DIES
anyways hihihi sorry it took so long to answer this eeee
Okay so I didn’t actually do that much formal research for it, because anytime i try to do that i feel my creativity and livelyness is sapped out of me (probably one of the reasons i hate school lmao) anyways
It’s actually a really funny (and long) story how this au came to be, so at first i saw the party clone of MK in lego monkie kid (this won’t make much sense if you haven’t watched that show sorry, but also at the same time if you haven’t YOU REALLY SHOUDL ITS REALLY GOOD AND THE ANIMATION MAKES ME DROOL NGL) and i was like yo wouldn’t it be cool if Lloyd had an evil party clone too? and then it expanded to an RGB evil clone au (cuz i’m a sucker for RGB siblings haha) and then i got the idea for nya to be a racer and to have a cyborg gf (cough cough pixal) and i was like okay scrap all the clone stuff were making this a completely independent au because this is MUCH cooler. and yeah, idk where the whole cyberpunk thing came from, i just thought it would really fit into the themes of fighting rings, clubs and races :DD
After that i was a bit busy for a while with school (just like i am now :c) but the brain rot for this AU was still going strong, so I made a pinterest board where i saved just a fuck load of cyberpunk shit that i thought looked cool, and whenever i had time i’d use those to draw the designs! here are some sketches with their references :D (zane and harumi included since they were ur favs! ps zane is my fav too, he just gives off such manager vibes but, hot, HAHA)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(ignore the lines, procreate just fucks up stuff if you change the canvas size and you try to access prior versions of the drawing through the timelapse option lmao)
anyways as you can see not even all of the references are cyberpunk stuff
AND YEAH I USED UR LLOYD AS INSPIRATION, I REALLY LIKE UR ARTSTYLE OKAY MOVING ON
some of the stuff was different and changed a lot through the process, like for example i decided against harumi having the furs because she would never wear them in this AU, she needs practicality in her fighting matches haha. I also changed a lot of lloyd design, cuz i was like “hehe, heelies” cuz zoom zoom, yk? and then u have zane, which was really straightforward coz i had almost exactly how i wanted him to be set in stone in my mind xd
Here’s a link to the pinterest board if ur interested! there’s a bunch of stuff in here i never got to use, so if anyone is interested idm it being used for stuff ^-^
ANYWAYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING IN THIS ASK, I HOPE IT WASNT TOO LONG AA

hi everyone my brain has been CONSUMED by the concept of nya having an 18th birthday debut party so heres me rambling about that:
with my age headcanons, nya turned 18 like near the end of the oni trilogy but idk they postponed the debut to a month before s11
so i think shed wear a light blue dress with a mermaid skirt, long sleeves, and a halter neckline, maybe some embroidery on it, nothing too fancy or "poofy", then after the festivities and stuff are done shes gonna change into a light blue suit (because we love gnc nya in this house)
then, in no particular order, her 18 candles are kai, jay, maya, ray, pixal, skylor, lloyd, zane, cole, wu, ed, edna, dareth, cyrus borg, then 2 relatives from maya's side of the family and 2 relatives from ray's cuz i cant of any other people to add to this list 💀
and just,,,, imagine kai,,,, crying about how his little sister is all grown up now,,,, and jay,,,, kinda cry-yelling about how much nya matters to her,,,, and maya and ray just being so so glad that they were able to celebrate nya's 18th birthday with her,,,, oughhh
i dont want to have a debut party when i turn 18 for transgender reasons and autistic reasons but my sister had a debut and it was so cool and emotional and ough ough ough

Crystalised part 2 ep 22 spoilers
Last one for tonight bc I don’t wanna watch them too quickly
Aww yeah Pixal you made their cars cool!
Also ronin being pro ninja again. Good for him tho
Jay calling Lloyd a party pooper is an important reminder to Lloyd’s s7 characterisation, I always love a good “Lloyd says we have food at home” moment
I feel like Wu committed one crime and now refuses to sit still. Like he wants in on all the action now
Garmadon why do you be spouting your weird plant son metaphors at Nya?
Oh wait Nya plant nerd?? It’s cute that her mum keeps plants :). Also jay tried to keep houseplants as well
Idk how to spell the scientific plant name but it’s also named after Ninjago. The people of this universe really said we’ll name everything Ninjago, even the plants
Ohno water sadness
At least Garmadon’s favourite son survived. I told you guys no one dies in this show not even the plants
I actually need wu and the overlord to duel bc they both have stupid brain rn. Ck really said it’ll be fineeee, and it wasnt
Also zane really said “and I can kill you again bitch!”
OH WAIT NO I BETTER NOT BE RECOGNISING THIS SCENE FROM TRAILERS
CHRISTOFERN REALLY CANT CATCH A BREAK MAN
Garmadon: how can I choose between my beloved children Christofern and Harumi?
Lloyd, five feet away from him:
The old man has achieved flight!! Can’t believe Wu Garmadon and the overlord all decided the Sky’s the limit at the same time
Garmadon just poofed that dragon thing
Garmadon shaking his head and wu’s zero brain celled attempt to climb into the overlord’s walls:
The overlord, having an equal number of brain cells to wu:
Wu really chose chaotic gremlin energy
Nooo lava man
OH MY GOD FCKING DAMNIT ZANE EVERY SINGLE TIME WTF TAHT WAS SO SAD HE JUST CLOSED HIS EYES MANNNNANMSKSKWMWK
Man wu talking about the fsm let’s goo
This fight scene is so freaking cool man
Garmadon saying “brother?” 🥺
Oh god ofc the one thing that can defeat Jay’s final girl energy is simping. Bestie look at the rose Ik ur girl might turn into water again but still
The gang really got separated. Again.
Ahhhhhhh I wanna watch the next ep but also I wanna pace them so I don’t burn through them too quickly and cry when it’s over yknow (although if they disappear immediately before I get a look in I’ll cry)

The critical hit portraits are at nearly 300 notes whilw im writing this and I am beyond happy so many people enjoy my silly little idea. The AU is still sitting in my brain and I'm writing headcanons for it.
Idk if I'm going to separate them by character with little character references, or just infodump it all into one page. For now here's some general stuff I've come up with. I'll put it under a readmore after the first five bc there's a lot.
Also if anyone wants to send asks about the AU, I think that'd be pretty neat 😳
Setting is a blend of Ninjago City in the show and the 10 or so minutes I saw of it in the movie before Luh-Loyd happened.
Shadows attack the city regularly, but only at night. In the AU, they're spawned from the Overlord and cannot handle natural sunlight.
I'm limiting Shadows to only be active at night to mimic the Dark Hour in P3 while still being separate, and to give myself plenty of opportunities to use P3-5's social sim aspects like Social Links/Confidants.
I'm only gonna refer to Social Link/Confidants as just Social Links (SLs), but they'll still have the same kind of benefits as Confidants.
There won't be any other world the group goes to in order to fight Shadows. The Velvet Room is technically the only other world present, but only Lloyd and Wu can go in there.
The main group are all teenagers and in school, it wouldn't be a Persona AU if they're weren't lol.
Cole is 18 and in 12th grade. Kai and Jay are 17 and in 11th grade. Nya is 16, but skipped a grade and is in 11th with Kai and Jay. Lloyd is 14 and in 8th grade (middle school). Zane and Pixal (I've decided she will be part of the main group) are a bit of a special case.
Both of them are still robots like in Ninjago. They're Anti-Shadow Supression Weapons created by Borg Industries (they kinda serve the same function as the Kirijo Group in P3.) Zane was a prototype and was due to be scrapped as he had become outdated. He ended up joining the party shortly after its formation instead. Pixal is a much more recent model and will be the very last member of the party.
Since Anti-Shadow weapons are still considered fairly new in the AU, Zane would be roughly between 8-12, but have the mental functions on par with the older members of the group. So he's treated as being the same age as Cole. He does attend school with the group and is in the 12th grade as well. I'm kinda mimicking what was done with both Aigis and Labrys in P3 and P4 respectively.
Pixal was built much more recently, maybe 4 years prior to the AU? Still figuring that out. She's practically a walking computer with an internet connection and all, but she's considered as young as Nya. They even parallel with Pixal being like a younger sister to Zane. (Sorry, I'm not a big PixZane shipper.) Pixal does not attend school at all and has no desire to. For Pixal, I'm kinda treating her based off of what I understand of Sophia in P5S even though I haven't seen much from that game at all yet.
Wu and Garmadon are from the Velvet Room. They both regularly left the Velvet Room to enjoy the human world. Garmadon started a family with Misako and had Lloyd, but later went missing and hasn't returned to the Velvet Room since.
First Spinjitsu Master and Overlord kinda take over the role of Philemon and Nyarlathotep. FSM isn't ever present, he leaves everyone to their own devices. Overlord, on the otherhand, is the main antagonist and is the reason why Garmadon is missing.
Wu is the current caretaker of the Velvet Room, Igor is on vacation or something.
When Wu isn't present in the Velvet Room, Morro watches over it. Morro will also be Lloyd's Attendant. They don't like each other ���
Cole, Nya and Lloyd won't be getting their normal elements. I'm sticking to P5R's battle system and elements, as well as weaknesses and technicals for enemies. I wont be using anything in P1, the P2 duology, or other parts of MegaTen because most of their systems are insane and have too much going on lol.
For Cole, there is an Earth element, but it hasn't been used since P1 and the P2 duology, and was included in a few other parts of MegaTen. His Persona will mainly have Physical skills, since that still fits him. Maybe a few Almighty skills just to give him a bit more variety too lol. Probably gonna base his skillset off Shinjiro's in P3.
Nya is in a similar spot to Cole, yet somehow worse. Water is also an element in the series, but from my understanding it was ONLY used in the P2 duology and nowhere else is MegaTen. P5 does have Ice, but that's kinda stepping Zane's toes. She'll have a few low level Ice skills, but I think I'm gonna test out a skillset centering around Nuke for her. If that doesn't work out, then I'll have to come up with something else.
The closest I can pin to Lloyd is Force, but again I'm sticking to P5R. Next best is Curse, Bless or Psychokinesis. Lloyd is also the main Wildcard, so it doesn't entirely matter, but for now I'll just be giving his initial Persona Curse skills.
I'm running with my headcanon that there can be multiple naturally chosen Wildcards, but only one can reach the true potential of the ability. So both Lloyd and Kai get the Wildcard ability, as a sort of nod to how Kai was originally going to be the main protagonist in the show before Lloyd was added.
Kai's Wildcard is similar to Akechi in P5. He can only summon two Personas. His own initial one, and one to represent his bond with Nya.
Also Kai does not have Velvet Room privileges.
I think have the Arcana of the party figured out and some of the SLs:
The party itself: The Fool (SL only)
Lloyd = The Fool, Judgement (Kai SL)
Kai = The Chariot
Nya = The Empress
Zane = The Star
Cole = The Emperor
Jay = The Magician
Pixal = The Lovers
Wu = The Moon
Garmadon = The Sun (Lloyd SL only)
Misako = The High Preistess (Lloyd SL), Hierophant (Kai SL)
Morro = The Tower (Lloyd SL only)
Skylor = Death (Kai SL), TBA for Lloyd's SL.
Chen = Hunger/Lust/Strength (Kai SL only)
Ronin = The Hanged Man
Dareth = Jester /hj

(With no context other than the episode)
Possession 9-10
CHENS NOODLES!!!
So that's means...

Cyrus borg: Lloyd looks older! I see we have a water ninja, a titanium one too! Coles a… a ghost? Jay. you look shorter. And Kai!
Cole: ☹️
Jay: what do you mean I look shorter.
Ohhhh I see where they got Coles love for music in the movie.
Its canon he loves soft rock btw for anyone who makes Cole brookstone spotify playlists
THEYRE SO SUPPORTIVE OF NYA 😭😭😭
Shes got a plaaan :DDD
So the ghosts just live in stiix now-
Wus latest fits have been fire
Morro: you really think id ever have the ninja even step foot in my town?
(Cuts to the ninja quite literally wandering around in disguises in his town)
NYAS IN LLOYDS GREEN NINJA SUIT
Ok ok ok whats gonna happen im excited
Kai: Tea anyone :D
Ghost: Yes please!
Kai: (dumps it on him) :D
Ghost: HFHJSHFOSJRNRARARATEIRIEN
Kai: oops!
Morro: (trauma dumping on the ‘green ninja’)
Nya: 😐😑😐
GO NYA HELL YEAH
This is embarrassing for you Morro, ur ghost friends can Respawn now and the ninja are STILL winning 🙄
Nvm
Morro: Im stronger Lloyd!!! Ive been inside your head… ik what your afraid of!!! You could never do this alone! Your WEAK.
Okay but if youve been inside his head then you have to at least have a little bit of pity for him.
If you witnessed his trauma firsthand and didnt feel bad for attacking him then idk man 😭
Morro: What are you waiting for Lloyd? An invitation?!? If you want the realm crystal! EARN IT.
Morros lines are fucking cool as hell tho
Lloyd: (on the verge of breaking the crystal)
Morro: STOP!
Lloyd: (actually stops)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Morro you manipulative BITCH
Lloyd: (contemplating if he should break the crystal or not to save his father)
Kai: (frantically giving Lloyd instructions on how to fight, assuming Lloyd just forgot, through a barred window)
Stop.
No.
I dont like that. Dont like that at all. The preeminent can go and fuck right off i hate her.
LLOYD NO.
I REMEMBER THIS
HES BEING DRAGGED TO THE CURSED REALM
Time for a father son reunion 😀
Kai: Who’s THAT
Zane: thats the preeminent, shes the manifestation of the cursed realm.
Cole: Well I know one thing, she ain’t pretty.
I hate her design i hate it
First nimbus, now the preeminent why do we have the grossest and ugliest creatures this season
She looks like a bulging veiny eyeball with an asshole in the middle
I hate her sm
I hope she explodes and dies
Actually no thats also gross
I hope she peacefully fades away.
Misako: Look! Its Lloyd!
Morro: (on a tentacle of the preeminent, half transparent, a ghost, and black hair.)
Wu: thats not Lloyd…
Yeah, no shit.
Kai: if theres any time to unlock your true potential its now!!!
Nya: Oh! Your so right! Let me just flip a switch! OH RIGHT. I DONT HAVE A SWITCH BECAUSE IM NOT A FUCKING NINDROID
i think Nya should be allowed to curse
Lloyds INSIDE the preeminent?
Okay but why are Chen and Clouse in little cages while Garmadons chained like hes some sort of beast
How is that fair.
This hurts because Garmadons there. HES RIGHT THERE. Hes been chained up for months. And Ik hes gonna continue to be there for years.
At least he got a second goodbye.
Nya: IS THIS AS FAST AS THE BOAT GOES???
Ship man (drinking tea): its a steam boat not a rocket ship🙄
Ok but you dont gotta be a dick about it
Lloyd wearing his fathers garments/robe is very symbolic and sweet but theres two choices for Garmadon in the cursed realm rn
Hes either butt ass naked
Or hes wearing his sons small teenager clothes
Morro probably listens to better than me by the brobecks
Lloyds so smart
Drown that pubic stress ball!!!! 📢
Wait so are they just gonna drown the city of stiix
I did NOT need a close up shot of the preeminents ghost-making hole
God she has legs now.
HELL YEAH THE NINJA ARE OFFICIALLY SIX
im so pumped
Jay: Doctor! I think the patients knee needs to be put on ice!
Zane: Gladly!
Best dynamic
The way Lloyd and Morro are fighting between realms isnt even like, real fighting. Its exactly how me and my cousins used to play fight 💀
They did not.
THEY DID NOT.
ITS CHIMA 😭😭😭
ARE THEY GONNA CAMEO OTHER LEGO SHOWS AS THE SIXTEEN REALMS?!?!?!??
Kai: (falling)
Cole: I GOT YOU!
Kai: (phases right through him) AAAAAAAAA
Cole: oh. I guess not.
It always ends with this. With the “i cant swim!” kai and the “I can’t get wet!!!!” Cole
FIRE AND ICE MAKE WATER.
You know when that would have been useful? FIVE EPISODES AGO.
“You’re weakness is that you give up too easily. You only like what comes easy. Don’t be afraid to fail, Nya”
The way water is so fluid and loose. Flexible to be shaped into anything it wants to be. The saying of ‘go with the flow’ which is usually connected with water and going where life takes you, carefree and relaxed.
All that being the exact opposite of Nya
No wonder she had such a hard time mastering it
Nya ik you unlocked your true potential but be careful there 😀 Cole will still DIE if he gets in contact with water
Nyas literally the best
Favorite character!!!!!
No. Dont do this to me.
This is the most desperate ive ever heard Wu sound.
He just wants his adopted son back.
Morro please.
Morro: you can only save those, who want to be saved…
NO THAT IS NOT THE LAST THING YOU SAY THOSE ARE NOT YOUR LAST WORDS.
And the award of quickest and most accepted redemption in lego ninjago that lasted 5 seconds goes toooooo
MORRO!!!!
No but fr he was such a little bitch this whole season and really had no redeeming qualities other than his tragic backstory/motivation. Also his redemptions only being 5 seconds of giving the crystal to Wu and saying a very depressing line before returning to the cursed realm.
Canon Morro is questionable, but fanon Morros cool as fuck, love that guy
Hes also just, a kid.
I think.
Morro acts a little like Lloyd, with his childlike speaking habits. Who knows.
Wait.
So the cursed realm.
Its gone?
Like GONE gone??!?!
Like, EVERYONE in the cursed realm, inside the preeminent, is DEAD.
Garmadon???
Morro?????
So theres FIFTEEN realms now?!?!?!?

WU SUCKS but not the reason you think
I'd like to preface by saying Wu has made a lot of mistakes and should be held accountable. But like the main arguments against Wu be like.
1: Morro
2: Traumatizing kids
3: Keeping secrets
4: Mot treating his nephew like is damn nephew.
5: Flirting with his brothers wife.
And the thing about that needs talked about. 1:Morro. First off getting kids hopes is not cool. It can be detrimental to development depending on the age of the child. BUT. Not a single soul told Morro to train tirelessly for 60+ years after his death to take revenge and be the green ninja. Absolutly no one. Wu had compassion for his failings and wanted to show Morro he could still he great without being the green ninja. But the little brat ran tf off and got trapped and died. And he got cursed, how- we dont know. But its implied that it's either intentional entrapment or you have to be a terrible person, guess which category he probably falls into. Mind you Wu also told our OGs that they could also be the green ninja and none of them went off the rails to settle some invisible score. Morro made his choices and he made shit ones. Wu was an influence but not the problem. Morro is unstable, dramatic, and holds grudges Wu didnt cause that.
2: the traumatic experiences the nina go through are also not exactly his fault. He didnt just pick them off the streets. THERE WAS A PROPHECY. Ok? Yall with me. Fate isnt uncontrolled by anyone the ninja needed to be trained to help Lloyd fight the Overlord. That wasnt his decision. And yall act like the ninja couldn't leave whenever they wanted to. He didnt gaslight them or belittle them in anyway that wasnt for teaching. Please bring me receipts if you think otherwise. I do admit he could help a little more, be more clear, but when has a old magic teacher character ever been straightforward. With that logic fuck Dumbledore, and Gandalf, and any wise old teacher that goes to find chosen one who once again are chosen by fate not the master himself. Yall literally cant blame Wu for Child's Play and you cant blame Wu for their experience with Nadakhan either. The enemies that go out of there way to attack the ninja are not a direct cause if Wu himself. Usually. It be like blaming Garmadon for Chen. Yes they had history but it's still not his fault
3: Secrets. I will admit there is next to no reason for keeping secrets from the ninja. Considering history always has kind of score to settle. But considering his age and the apparent imprisonment or death of his past enemies there no way to predict every problem that comes back to screw him over. The Time Twins for example. Yes they came back for Wu. But he did remove their powers and separated them over 20+ years ago. They were not exactly threats to his new students now were they? Again with Aspheera, who was literally locked in a tomb why take the time to educate the ninja on a problem he had no idea was going to come back for him. Same with Morro to a more confusing degree. MORRO DIED. How was he to prepare the ninja for that? Yes please tell me how they were supposed to prepare for a dead guy. I'll wait.........k. he should be more forthcoming with the ninja, about things he knows could harm them, like the Serpentine after Lloyds released them, Chen, the Overlord, the effects of Travelers Tea, Tomorrow's Tea, Oni, Etc. But most of the time the ninja go and do it first then wonder why Wu didn't warn them.
4: His nephew. Wow his parenting sucks. Morro is not his damn child let's start there. Comparing their relationship is unfair. Wu cared for Morro the way he cares for Kai and Nya. He never accentuates a paternal relationship with then. Cause they are students, students he has to train with he intent to send them out onto dangerous battle fields and mind games. He was alone so yes it looks different but it's also a leap to just assume that Wu viewed Morro as his own despite treating him the exact same way as his 6 other students. Now back to Lloyd. Why didnt he get his nephew from Darkleys where it was known he ran away from multiple times? I DONT KNOW. No one does. That is a bad move I can only theorize about. Maybe Misako said something about staying away, maybe he wasnt kept in the loop about his nephews whereabouts due to idk KICKING HIS FATHER INTO HELL. C'mon yall. Now in the later seasons my best guess is that he doesnt know how to differentiate his nephew from the chosen one side and the goofy child side. Hes never had a child and his early relations with Lloyd were scarce and when Lloyd came to live with him. It's not due to some familial obligation, destiny literally called for it. Putting some definite strain on their relationship. I'm not excusing it he should try better, but he'd have to build a relationship from nothing and most people know their immediate family upon birth or during childhood which is not the case here. Wu treats his nephew more like a vessel of power than a person which isnt cool but knowing that the kid might not come back after every fight is a good damper on happy relationships is it not?
5: Misako. Good lord I don't have to explain this one. No excuse. It shouldn't be happening. BUT. After Garmadons death she was a free woman as gross as it is. It's more a flaw on her than it is him she chose to have a baby with one brother and still try to get with the other. And I know it takes two to tango but dont get mad at the idiot that the cheater is cheating with. Be mad at the cheater. The thing people really dont get about love triangles. The "other guy" brings on the questions/options but the person who cant choose or screws with both parties is the one in the wrong. Lloyd seems ok with it. Because Tommy said so. I dont particular give two shits about his take on the show half the time. If Lloyd were actively against it the Wu would probably stop. If the Fsm family acted like a normal ass family we probably wouldnt be here. But their priorities are a little screwy compared to typical nuclear families. Not an excuse just some perspective
NOW, why he is a bad character despite all of those arguments. he chooses to train soldiers rather than care for impressionable teens. Yes the situation called for it but the pressure could he alleviated if he decided to actually help before the world was on fire. He chooses to teach by experience than be upfront. Which works sometimes but not when actual lives are at stake. His trial by fire teaching works but the possiblity it could go wrong is to big to be brushed aside. His seemingly unreachable vault of empathy is hard to swallow. He rarely actually feels things for other people, his lack of enthusiasm when they pull through something hurts to watch. His lack of empathy about raising his nephew to attempt to kill his father is frightening. The pride he demonstrates by choosing not to disclose his past until it's too late is dangerous. He doesnt directly put down the ninja unless he has to and its more implied than anything and is on his students and this fandom for taking it so harshly. He trusts them a lot because he doesnt see them as kids anymore. They are warriors and it was necesary. He should have more compassion. He should be more straight forward, he should try to act like a person and not some ethereal being of elsewhere that doesn't have time to appease feelings or care about people until after hes wronged them. His values are off kilter sometimes which is whatever until it starts to hurt people
But yall need to stop blaming him for other people actions. Morro was a mess to begin with. His problems are in the past because he took care of them already. Misako came onto him. (He should have resisted but he didnt start shit she did). He needs to try to be an uncle alongside being a teacher. He needs to act like a fucking person more than the infinite cache of wisdom and unforeseen unused power that he acts like. And also it's a kids show. How many children think the way yall do?, we're teens/YAs we're reading into things. A LOT which makes everything more complicated. Comments rebuttals open. There's a collection of little mistakes hes made along the way that dont fit into these categories but these are the main reasons I know people hate him and the little things add fuel to the fire. I will legit talk about anything Except for the morro thing I am so tired of seeing it Morro made his choices hes a fucking Villain Wu didnt make him that way being a bitter asshole did that. Thanks for reading!! :3

Hey idk if you're still doing writing prompt requests, but if u are, I think polyninja movie night would be cute :0
Hello I loved this prompt so much it escaped me and I might have strayed just a little. Lol sorry.
It’s on Ao3 here if you’d rather read it there instead.
Title: A Much Needed Day Off
Words: 1293
Polyninja
No warnings apply, just pure fluff.
“Man, it’s been ages since we had a day off!” Jay groans, flopping onto the couch. “I am so ready for this.”
“I am looking forward to today as well,” Zane agrees. Settling on the couch, he pulls Jay over so his head is resting in his lap, and begins to work his fingers through the soft curls. “So, what do you have planned for us?”
“A movie marathon! Once everyone gets here, at least,” Jay makes a little pouty face that Zane can’t help but find adorable. “Cole gets a pass cause he’s going over stuff with Lloyd so that he and Nya won’t need us today, but Kai is taking forever in the shower! Why does he need to get ready anyways?”
“Because looking as good as I do takes time,” Kai’s voice quips back. Zane turns to see the fire ninja leaning against the open door frame. Dressed in his standard pajama set of a crop top and shorts, he doesn’t look much different than when they’d woken up that morning.
“You always look good. I think you just use that as an excuse to make up for your terrible bathroom hogging ways,” Jay teases. Kai gives him a mock offended look as he makes his way over.
“I’m going to ignore that second part and just take the compliment. Now. You.” He turns to Zane. “I can’t believe you are giving out head massages without me here!”
He just snorts. That was very typical of Kai. Never wanted to miss out on any kind of affection.
“Head massages are for people who get here on time. You will just have to wait your turn,” Kai gives him the same offended look, but nonetheless takes up the free space on Zane’s empty side. He takes a moment to press a soft kiss to Jay’s lips, and then another to do the same to Zane. The nindroid hums appreciatively in response.
“So we’re just waiting on Cole then?” Kai asks once he pulls away. Jay nods.
“Once he gets here, we can play rock paper scissors to decide who gets to choose the first movie.”
Cole choses that exact moment to walk through the door, as if summoned.
“What’s this about rock paper scissors?”
“You’re here! Now we can get started,” Jay sits up, gesturing Cole over. “Someone has to pick the first movie. Obviously, rock paper scissors is the only fair way to decide who gets that honor.”
“That checks out,” Cole agrees. They shuffle around so everyone is huddled in a small circle.
“Usual rules apply?” Kai asks.
“Yup. Me vs. you, Cole vs. Zane. Winners face off. Losers face off, and that will decide the order of decision making. Everybody ready?” Jay looks at each of them, and there is a collective nod. “Okay. Ready? Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!”
Zane does not really understand the point of this game. There is no logic to it. It was, however, good as a fair randomizer. As seen by the fact it was one of the few things he couldn’t reason through, and therefore often lost. Just like now. Cole was grinning triumphantly, rock to Zane’s scissors.
“Sorry Frosty. Looks like you lose this round.”
“I will find a way to beat you at this game someday,” Zane vows, turning to Kai and Jay. “Who is my next opponent?”
“That would be me,” Kai raised his hand. They all prepare to play again, and Zane loses this time as well. He takes it from Jay’s excited whoop that he won his second round.
“Alright. Order has been decided. Me, Cole, Kai and then Zane. Get ready. I’ll set things up,” He hops up, heading over to start digging through the dvd collection.
Now that Jay wasn’t taking up 80% of the available space, Zane takes the chance to readjust himself. He scoots all the way to the end of the couch, which was his preferred spot. Kai moves to follow, only to have his spot stolen by Cole. That was a bit of surprise, but Zane wasn’t going to complain. Kai did though.
“Hey! That was my spot!” he whines.
“It’s my turn to cuddle Zane now. Sorry,” Cole doesn’t seem sorry as he makes himself comfortable. He takes his chance to kiss Zane, ignoring the sad noises their other partner was making.
“Nobody loves me around here,” He grumbles, crossing his arms across his chest.
“Don’t worry babe. I’ll cuddle you,” Jay reassures, returning to them. He and Kai get themselves settled as well. They end up with Cole leaning against Zane, Kai sitting on the floor between them, and Jay on his lap. “Alright. Let’s get this party started!”
He starts up the movie, and to nobody’s surprise, it’s a Fritz Donnagan action flick. They manage to get all the way through the movie without anyone needing to rearrange. Once it’s over, everyone breaks to grab snacks and stretch while Cole makes his decision. And that is what sets the pace for the rest of the day.
Cole’s movie was a historical drama. Kai sleeps on his lap the entire way through it. Zane takes advantage of the opportunity to play with his hair while it was free from its usual gel prison.
Kai picks romantic comedy, and Zane doesn’t really get a chance to watch it because Jay spends the entire time trying to steal kisses from him (and to a lesser extent, the others.) They take another break so Kai can take a quick call from Nya, and then resettle for Zane’s choice.
He has selected a nature documentary that looked rather intriguing. This time around, he ends up on the floor between Kai’s legs, and Jay on his lap. Cole sits just a little ways off, far enough to make it clear he wanted some space but not so far he is isolated. Things are comfortable. He isn’t sure when the last time he felt so relaxed was.
They finish up just in time for Zane to get started cooking dinner. Jay makes it clear he thought the documentary was boring, but it didn’t slip past zane how he’d clutched at a pillow and whispered ‘no, not the babies’ when they’d watched the section on sea turtle hatchlings.
“That was pretty fun. We should do that again sometime,” Cole says as the three of them follow Zane into the kitchen.
“Totally,” Kai agrees. “We deserve more than one day off together every couple months.”
“Zane, you should totally talk to Lloyd about seeing if we can make this a regular thing.” Jay pokes him.
“I don’t see why I should be the one to ask. Any one of you would be just as capable as I am.”
“Lloyd agrees with you more. I think it's because he still sees you as the smart logical one,” Cole points out. He is met by three pleading sets of eyes.
“I have the distinct feeling that I should be offended by that, but...I will consider your request,” He relents. Having more opportunities to spend quality time with his boyfriends did sound nice. “For now, let us make the most of the time we still have. Since you are all here, you can help me prepare dinner.”
There is complaining, but everyone listens when he gives out directions. As the four of them work around each other, joking and laughing, Zane is once again struck by how relaxed he feels. How long had it been since they had been able to be this at ease together? He hadn't thought about anything ninja related at any point that day. Maybe the others were right.
Tomorrow morning, he would ask Lloyd about organizing more of these days off in the future.

AS LONG AS IM YELLING ABOUT AUS! GUESS WHAT LORE POST I FINISHED
LOUDLY AND OBNOXIOUSLY CLEARS THROAT.
This is a long post about Avatar and Ninjago and it mostly contains story!!! Because some! Of! This! Setup! Is! RIGHT there!!! And I like it very much. I’m sorry it doesn’t have many pictures! I do not control my right hand, but I do control how much I can yap about avatar and ninjago. READMOREではある
Our story begins with Kai and Nya, because they’re dramatic and I love them.
Kai and Nya are siblings, currently traveling on their own around the world with their not-actually-their-uncle-or-grandpa, Garmadon. Because Wu doesn’t get to be Iroh, even though I have to give up Garmadad for it — don’t worry he immediately adopts Lloyd once he meets him.
Kai and Nya used to live in the Fire Nation, emphasis on the used to, because while Kai is a firebender, Nya is a waterbender. She started displaying waterbending abilities at 12, and 12 is not a great age for control. And they could only have gotten the two distinct bending styles from their parents, blacksmiths in the royal courts, so in an act of political trash-fire-ness, Lord Chen finds this out thanks to royal jerkwad Clouse. You Know. Fire Lord Chen.
(Kai challenges him, in a fit of protective anger, to what is supposed to be a clean agni kai, but someone cheats. He actually can’t see all that well out of his right eye, anymore)
And Chen being who he is, he brands them all as traitors, presumably killing their parents, allowing the children only one lifeline to regain their honor (and home, and life, and—), and that’s to find the missing Avatar. You know, the one who’s been gone for a hundred years? Silly, impossible task, meant to get rid of them.
So they do.
Meanwhile, by which I mean a hundred years before this, Lloyd is happy. Really happy! Their temple is sweet and calm and brimming with life, he’s being taught by (his absolute favorite) the monk Wu, and he keeps being happy until he’s told, one day, the whole village is told, actually, that he is supposed to be this great and powerful being. This incredibly godlike human boy, with the power of destruction and creation at his fingertips, and though he doesn’t want to be, the title of Avatar is given to him and most everything else Is taken from him.
He’s scared, now. Mostly.
And you know the story — terrified of the choices made for him, of his own destiny, he traps himself by complete accident for a century, until…
Kai and Nya do find the Avatar. Traveling near the water tribes (dangerous, but theirs is not a fire nation ship)
And he’s… small. Admittedly.
Uuuuunlike his very large flying companion.
(Did I mention flying bison gets swapped with an energy dragon? Wind dragon? Very, very tied between naming the dragon Morro and naming her something less angry. Like Skittles :P)
Lloyd reminds Nya of a puppy. He reminds Kai that their entire lives hinge on bringing back (to his death) bringing (killing) this one, scrawny little kid. It’s so, so easy, and though they’re outwardly nice, they both know what has to be done. Until…
Listen.
Lloyd is made of light. He radiates power, sure, but he radiates confidence and happiness and surety and it will be okay and morning runs along the beach and warming up by the fireplace and… he… has this infuriating ability to shine straight through the cracks made of doubt in your heart.
Kai doesn’t think he can do it, after a while. After seeing how his life got torn apart, after getting one too many cautious smiles and getting into one too many silly and only slightly dangerous situations that end in a hug, of all things, the twins agree. There is no way they’re taking Lloyd back to the Fire Lord.
So they don’t.
The’re different. They’ve traveled, they’ve learned, Garmadon is so proud of their growth he takes them out to the best tea they’ve ever had (which is weird because Lloyd always thought it was just leaf water) and they think that maybe they have a purpose again.
They want to help Lloyd take down Lord Chen.
Along the way, they pick up a lot more stray puppies.
Jay’s not supposed to be in the Earth Kingdom, but there he is! They’d probably kill him if they ever found out he was a Fire Nation refugee, because that whole concept reeks of suspicious. Which is why he hardly ever bends (and when he does, it’s not firebending it’s lightningbending) and keeps his handy-dandy best friend earth bending buddy with him.
And Jay has wanted to do something about *gestures* … all this, for forever. Incredibly nervous and constantly fiddling with some sort of tiny contraption as he is, he’s willing to tag along with the group. He’s the one who convinces Cole, probably the only Earthbending teacher they’re going to find, to come with. Cole is very, very apprehensive, because this is very dangerous, particularly for… actually everyone in the party. This is just very very dangerous. But Cole always wants to help, and after some shenanigans, begins to teach the young Avatar earthbending.
So things are like! Great, right! You got all the elements. Except like… that’s it. That’s basically handing a kid a glock and telling them to murder this one specific dude but giving them no other info. Research would… be nice. Probably.
Lucky for everyone stumbling into this yokai library, Zane is a researcher! And not a teenager, though 20 is barely not-a-teenager territory. He’s been in the library for years real-time, a couple weeks to his perception, but he’s learned so much. And he actually doesn’t super want to leave until he realizes its a very dangerous time-sinky place to be, and he can always come back. Besides, he was always taught to help those who can’t help themselves, and helping save the whole world from the Fire Nation is kind of top of that list, huh! FRIEND: GAINED
(How convenient!)
And the SIX of them go off and have ADVENTURES and TRAVEL and DO ELEMENTAL THINGS and SOMEONE SHOULD BE BUMI BUT IDK WHO, and the mailman is the cabbage seller, and Skylor isn’t Azula even tho I love Azula Skylor is like more of a Mai character, but Pixal is there too, I haven’t figured too much out but anyways Garmadon is Iroh and that’s the only thing you need to know. Lol

Ninjago (Marching) Band AU Headcanons
(they’re all like the same age in this because the plot demands it, so we’ll just say they’re all juniors right now)
Lloyd would play the Baritone in band class and in marching band
Zane would play the Flute in band class and marching band
Kai would play the Trumpet in band class and marching band
Jay would play Alto Saxophone in band class and marching band
Cole would be in Percussion, and would play the Tenor drums in marching band, so he’d be in drumline
Nya would play Trumpet in band class and Sousaphone / Contra in marching band
Pixal would play French Horn in band class and Mellophone in marching band
no but Nya is definitely strong enough to march contra and she would definitely do it
Cole would be co-section leader, as center snare is usually section leader but Cole is a really good leader so they co-lead
Nya is assistant section leader for the contra section
oh and Nya also definitely is like ripped and wears sports bras or ties her shirt up in the back for rehearsals. Like that is her usual marching band outfit
Zane is like the one guy in the flute section but like he loves it and the girls platonically love him so much. He’s also one of the more quiet leaders in the section, like he isn’t as out there I guess as some of the others in the section but he helps out and contributes so much
Oh like this boy, Zane, he freaking. He always has pads and tampons on him for the girls in his section. He also always has advil. Always. Sometimes he’ll bring chocolate for them like he takes care of them
also he definitely mutters angsty things under his breath when the directors say something stupid (because let’s be honest, they can sometimes)
Lloyd wouldn’t be leader, this boy just wants a break and he doesn’t want to be leader. He just wants to enjoy the activity with his friends and his section!
Playing baritone also helped Lloyd’s arm strength and now this boy has like… super strong arms now
Kai isn’t a leader as well, he’s kind of like Lloyd in where he does it for fun too, playing the trumpet really helps de-stress him and like, hardcore calms him down, he loves the sound of the trumpet and just blasting it
But like if you’re talking too much on the field or messing around or being a trashy person, Kai will put you in your place. Like he will shush you even though he’s not leader.
Kai can also hit the high range on trumpet really well
oh and Kai fits in so well with the trumpets. Like the trumpets love him and he loves them. (I sit in front of trumpets in band class… Kai definitely has a trumpet personality, but he’s more respectful than the ones in class lol)
Cole takes marching band super seriously because he loves music so much, and he loves playing the tenor drums so much. He likes that they are like the heaviest thing to march with, only rivaled by bari sax and contras.
Cole can carry the tenors with ease, but it makes him sore and it kills his back a lot but like, Jay gives him massages and it helps
But also he like doesn’t talk on the field and he gives every run his best and you best bet he duts as he plays
Jay loves saxophone! He loves its weird shape and he loves playing and he loves being with his section
He has some trouble standing still at set, but he tries and sometimes he just says screw it and moves because he wants to
Also Jay breaks reeds when he’s frustrated:/
Lemme specify, he breaks his old reeds when he’s frustrated. He keeps old, brokenish reeds in his drill charts and if he feels frustrated he takes them out and breaks them:)
He hates the neck strap as well
They give him terrible tan lines
Oh speaking of tan lines, Kai and Nya, holy trash do those two tan. Like they’re tan lines are crazy
they all sit together on the band bus for competitions and have a blast
Kai and Jay and Lloyd once made everyone bring their ds and there was a huge tournament
Ed and Edna make the best section bags for the saxophones like… they bake the best things and find the cutest little fun things to entertain them for bus rides
The saxophones actually love the Walkers so much
The Walkers throw the best section parties
Sensei Wu is head band director also
Sensei Garmadon is the visual director, like he is the best at marching and teaching marching
side note, Zane and Nya are the best marchers and Lloyd is probably the worst marcher. Like he’s not bad, he just struggles a bit more than everyone else.
He definitely improves though! Like he works so hard at becoming a better marcher and he’s just as good as Cole, Jay, and Kai!… Zane and Nya are just… they’re really really good
Cole and Kai are the best musicians
Jay is the best at keeping everyone in a good mood and pumped during the hard days
also Jay is the best performer out of the group. He is always in character and it’s amazing
Cole practices the most out of all of them if we’re being real
Oh and Lou wasn’t the biggest fan of Cole joining percussion at first, especially marching band. He wanted Cole to stick to more classical and play in orchestra or play flute or oboe or something but he’s learned to appreciate Cole’s talent in percussion
After Lou accepts that Cole is in percussion and realizes his son’s talent (at the end of Cole’s freshmen year marching season when he played base five), he becomes essentially a uniform mom. He joins them and helps take care of the uniforms hardcore. He’s helped out with color guard once or twice too, as he was a famous dancer when he was younger.
But yeah, Cole played base five as a freshman and then moved up to tenors his sophomore year.
Also Cole and the other two people who march tenor have this tenor break where they’re in the center of the field and it’s like just the three of them or everyone else is super quiet and like… it sounds incredible! Cole’s in the middle and the three flip sticks and dut and make facial expressions like oof it’s good
Zane also definitely has a flute solo like… this boy is really good at his flute
Kai probably has a trumpet solo too. Like, since he’s the best at hitting those high notes, he has this one note solo thing where he plays really high and really loud
Zane can also play the oboe. He can play clarinet too… and Pixal is teaching him French horn… and he can play the piano… he’s talented
Jay can also play tenor saxophone, but he prefers alto
Nya literally chose to march Contra out of spite.
Nya, when trying to choose what instrument to sign up for: you know, I think marching Contra would be kind of fun. I’ve always wanted to learn a second instrument
Some idiot: pfft, you’re a girl. You can’t march Contra, that thing’ll crush you
Nya: *furiously* okay it’s decided I’m playing Contra next year yes hello I’d like a Contra I will begin conditioning and will play cOnTrA
Needless to say, both Nya and Cole have conditioning to go to every year. They don’t mind it, though. They think it’s a fun workout.
If we’re being real, the main reason Jay wants their band to make it to state is because he wants state milk:/ (when bands in my state make it to state, we go to Lucas Oil Stadium and they provide us with milk because they sponsee it or something idk)
Oh and did I mention Dareth is the pit director?? No?? Well he definitely is the pit director
And he loves the people in pit. Like Dareth loves them all like they’re his children and sometimes he’s weird and says weird things or makes weird analogies, but like the kids love him. He cares so much
Ronin works with percussion too, but like, with drum line! He’s a great snare player!
Mystake is like… the past band director. You know, the scary older one that retired but comes back to help? That’s her.
Neuro would be one of the music directors, he works more with woodwinds than brass! Everyone loves him also! Like he can always tell when they all need water breaks or a mush break but he will also call you on your crap if he has too. Oh he works primarily with the flutes, which Zane thinks is cool because he’s the only male flute
The Police Commissioner is also more of a visual tech, and he works primarily with the baritones. He can be kind of intense sometimes, but he has a kind heart and a soft spot for the baritone kids.
Cyrus Borg is actually the bands drill writer! So he writes all of their formations and stuff!
Speaking of, Misako writes the music for the band! Or, is the arranger at least!
Oh and Dr. Julien is a great band dad! He helps build props and stuff!
Sensei Yang is one of the techs. He’s really really harsh, but he does it with love! He never crosses the line into insulting, but he scares a lot of the kids because he points out like every mistake. He has a soft spot for Cole, though. He likes his passion. He works primarily with trumpets.
The Mailman is that one director that’s there like… every few weeks for one day and just silently wanders around, observing. Sometimes he’ll say something to you but sometimes he’ll just watch and smile and nod or frown and shake his head. Then he won’t come back for a week or two. The clarinets like him, though, he spends most of his time with them when he’s there and like… actually talks to them and works with them sometimes in sectionals, just not so much on full field. He’s kind of funny, he makes them laugh
You can best bet Jay loses or forgets his drill the most
Lloyd is a close second
The flute section, contras, and trumpets all have drill boxes that the leader (or Zane) holds onto
Kai’s that person who brags about never losing their drill but then loses it one day and silently fumes and pouts all rehearsal
I haven’t said much about Pixal, have I? Well this queen loves French horn. She likes it more than mellophone, but like, she’ll play mellophone in marching band.
Like Lloyd, marching mello has made her arms stronger.
And also like Kai, she’s not leader but she will sass you if you talk on the field or treat others like trash or something
The whole band kind of has this like… unspoken respect for the two of them??
She will also destroy you if you touch her mellophone without gloves on I kid you not
Kai: oh Pix, I’ll carry you’re mello for you! My trumpet is small I ca-
Pixal: kAI I SWEAR TO THE FSM IF YOU TOUCH IT GLOVELESS I WILL SCREAM
Oh and Pixal is the BEST with the freshmen and newbies! She loves working with them and forming friendships with them!
You best bet the team jams together all the time. They’ll go back to The Bounty or their dojo or meet in someone’s basement and they’ll play their instruments.
They particularly like playing songs like The Weekend Whip or After the Blackout;)
Jay’s that person who screams “COVER YOUR KEYS” when it starts to rain
Oh and Zane, Cole, Pixal, and Jay all do pit orchestra for musicals! Cole plays piano for it, though!
Cole, Kai, and Jay are in jazz as well! Cole plays drum set for jazz, though! The three are in an advanced jazz class!
There’s also a really high chance Lloyd might be drum major their senior year… he wa offered it his junior year but he turned it down because he wanted to march another year and because he didn’t want people to think he was being favored because he dad and uncle are directors:/ also because he joined marching band for fun and didn’t want a leadership position but he also kind of really wants to be drummajor and he is confused:/
But he talked to his friends about it and they assured him that no one would think that because Lloyd would be a really good drummajor and that may take some fun out of the band experience but he works hard for the band and he deserves it so… he’ll probably say yes next year!
Skylor plays baritone, and she and Lloyd get along so well
Morro plays trumpet and he and Kai butt heads from time to time because Morro isn’t always the nicest to Lloyd.
Morro wanted to be drum major but they offered it to Lloyd instead of him and then chose someone else when Lloyd said no and heard Lloyd was probably going to take it next year and is being angsty about it
Karloff would play Contra if we’re being real here
Karloff actually wants to go into a career where he either fixes instruments or he makes them! He has definitely taken some instruments apart before like… screws and all
Harumi would play clarinet. She has a clarinet personality. She also has some issues with the group, she’s not the biggest fan of them and she’s more of one of the ones who thinks Lloyd is spoiled and gets special treatment but she’s trying not to feel that way sometimes:/
Griffin Turner plays alto saxophone, he and Jay get along super well! Turner is actually thinking of playing tenor saxophone next year!
Shade would play base drum in drum line, if we’re being real. I was thinking a lot on what he should play and like… he seems like someone who would play Base Four. He’s just bitter enough, you know?
And he acts like he doesn’t care and he acts like he’s rather play snare, but he secretly loves playing base drum. It suits him.
Faith would be in pit, she’d play marimba. She just recently moved to Ninjago and has some trouble fitting in and communicating with others, but music is like a universal language and she expresses herself through her marimba and the other people in pit love her and help her and treat her as an equal:)
Oh and Faith is going to be in drum line with Cole and Shade next year! She kind of wants to play tenors with Cole since one is graduating, and Faith is freaking strong, but she’ll be fine with base drum or snare drum!
Brad Tudabone would play French horn / mellophone as well. He’s one of the underclass men that Pixal has essentially adopted as her son
Gene would play trumpet sorry I don’t make the rules. He was kind of cocky at first because he was first chair in his middle school band but he got set straight with the help of Kai. Kai actually has taken him under his wing since he reminds Kai of himself from when he was a freshman.
Tox, surprisingly, plays the flute. She almost, almost went with trumpet or Contra, but she found the sound of the flute calms her. She’s not always the most patient person but like, playing the flute helps and hey, sometimes the flutes need someone super freaking tough and ready to fight in their section
Chamille plays clarinet. She was thinking of playing baritone or trumpet, but she wanted to be with Harumi (get it because in Hunted she goes evil… yeah… I know that’s cringey) but no like Chamille can play basically everything. Like, out of everyone in the band she probably can play the most instruments so choosing what to play was really hard but Harumi was good at convincing her the clarinets needed her. She would be willing to switch, though, if the clarinets had too many people and another section needed more
Seliel plays trumpet along with Kai, Morro, and Gene. She fits the trumpet section very well.
Mr. Paleman would play Mellophone and French horn. He gets along with Pixal kind of well since he’s sassy but ya know it’s a good time. He likes it!
Bolobo would play Contra. That’s… that’s it… he’s strong and he loves it
Ash and Jacob play in pit. They’re more quiet and reserved and they feel like they fit in with the pit, even though they can be a bit outgoing sometimes! Jacob plays the synth and Ash plays vibraphone!
People who fight when people diss marching band: Kai, Jay, Nya, Faith, Karloff, Morro, Tox, Seliel, Chamille, Jacob
People who just roll their eyes but don’t say anything: Zane, Skylor, Lloyd, Brad, Gene, Harumi, Griffin Turner, Paleman, Bolobo
People who give you the death glare but stay silent and make you wish you said nothing: Cole and Shade and Ash.
Jay goes the most all out for spirit week the last week of band camp
He’s also the one who complains about the sun destroying him the most during band camp
Jay will always be ginger to me, so this boy burns like trash. He always gets one terrible sun burn every year. He had to put a towel in between his neck and neck strap one time it was that band. He also burned his fingers once (I say this all from experience… I’m ginger… I have been burned so badly in marching band that I needed a towel and had to bring aloe to band with me and yes two season ago even my fingers got burnt)
He’s that person who curses the sun and says that the sun is his greatest enemy
Although, since he grew up in the desert, Jay’s sunburns turn into tans. So he’s usually beautifully tanned by the end of the season (that does not happen to me, though)
The first few weeks of band camp, all the freshmen are kind of scared of Cole because he’s so strong and serious looking and passionate about music but after awhile they realized he’s just a passionate sweetie who sometimes has trouble talking to people and better expresses himself through music!
Cole also wears a lot of black, it’s just who he is and what’s in is closet because even though he loves orange the most, he just likes being broody and the color black but like… wearing black to band camp is a bad idea. He does it every year and every year he swears not to do it again but every year he does it… he also does it multiple times a year and ignores when everyone tells him that he’ll regret it
Cole’s hair is also always in a man-bun during rehearsal
Kai does that too. He’ll wear stupid clothes to band camp. One time he wore jeans for the sole reason because someone said he couldn’t survive a day of band camp in jeans. He did survive but he almost passed out.
It’s already been made clear that Ed and Edna are the best section parents ever, but they go all out for band camp. They bring the saxophone section lunch like twice a week and they bring them snacks after rehearsal, like popsicles and stuff they adore it!
Cole loves band camp for the constant music, but also because he loves being outside so much and he loves the trees and he loves just being in the outdoors for hours straight!
Kai is all about band camp. Like the first week he loves it and he’s so ready and then he slowly gets more and more tired and has some regrets. He still loves it, he just loses like half of his energy haha
Nya and Cole do stupid things sometimes like…
Nya: hey wanna see me march with TWO contras?! One on each shoulder, baby!
Zane: nYA NO
Oh yeah, Zane is basically their impulse control because Kai, Jay, and Lloyd just laugh or stand in awe depending on how it goes
Cole: hey no it’s fine, I’ll carry all three of the tenor drums. I’m strong enough I’ve got this! Just stack them on top of each other… yeah… just like that… don’t worry, I’ve got them it’ll be fine!
Zane: you’re stupid. Don’t do that. Why are you all letting this happen someone taKE THE TENORS OFF OF HIM
You best bet Lloyd once wore a fedora to rehearsal
One time. Lloyd forgot to bring water to rehearsal and he was like it’s not too hot, I’ll be fine. But then it got hot and luckily he didn’t pass out but. he had so many. regrets.
The team are those people who run around the band and yell “BAND IS NOT A DATE” when they see people holding hands or like… being romantic
Misako has come to a few rehearsals to watch her son and husband and to listen to how the band is playing her arrangement and give advice and this happened
Misako and Garmadon: *are holding hands*
Jay: BAND IS NOT A DATE
Misako and Garmadon: it’s marriage!
Have I mentioned Cole, Zane, Chamille, and Skylor all can toss flags in color guard??
Because they can.
Cole almost joined color guard. He thought it was kind of cool, and he thought his dad may like that, but his love for percussion and music was so strong and powerful he decided he’d rather do drum line and he does not regret his decision
Mm Zane, Cole, Jacob, and surprisingly Lloyd all have perfect pitch
It kind of runs in Lloyd’s family, as his uncle and parents are all involved in music
Jay has a terrible sense of pitch
Also Jay hates concert F, or the alto saxophone’s D. He hates it because altos can’t tune to it but they play it for tuning so much. He is very verbal about it.
Wu: *warming the band up* okay, concert F everyone!:)
Jay: *intended to be under his breath but actually isn’t* ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh FSM no!
Zane loves chords so much. He finds them all so pretty and fascinating and memorized all of them for fun!
Pixal bought the gang (Kai, Lloyd, Zane, Cole, Nya, Jay, and Skylor) fanny packs to use during the season while they’re on the field! They’re all their favorite color (yes Cole’s is orange)
You best bet there are some friendly section wars / rivalries
Aka Kai, Jay, and Nya go hardcore, especially during the water balloon fight at the end of band camp
Sometimes the gang switches instruments when the band (is forced to) plays at football games
Like Cole will take Kai’s trumpet and play the trumpet and tenors at the same time
Lloyd and Jay will switch instruments too… Jay isn’t the best brass player haha
Pixal will switch with Zane so he can practice mellophone
They do that every single time for fun until Wu or Garmadon finds out and makes them stop
Speaking of football games, Lloyd, Jay, and Zane all cheer for the other team. Zane cheers for both because he’s a sweetie and Lloyd and Jay cheer for only the opposing team because they want to
Kai hates when they do that but they’ll never stop
One time, Wu was telling the band they need to tell the story more, like how the color guard does. More facial expressions, more elegant movements. As he was trying to explain that, he told them to “sell their bodies” and then immediately was like “wait no not actually poor choice of words” and the band flipped
Now they all jokingly tell each other to sell their bodies
Each time the directors change parts of music or drill or movements, everyone face palms because it basically goes down like this
Wu: band. There is something I haven’t told you. We are changing more stuff again
One time Jay was really bored during rehearsal so he was practicing some horn moves and came up with something to say while he did it. It was “interior crocodile alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie the-ater. Four door mini van. I love CostCO”
And now that’s a thing everyone does and says when they do the moves. It has spread!!! Except drum line. They have their own stuff. Also they dut.
Jay and Kai are the guys that constantly play the music from the other years before. Like all the time. All. The Time.
----
That’s it... for now?? I really like this AU, and I’m in marching band, or I was haha this was my last year because I’m graduating! Some of the specific stuff has happened haha! Uh, I play alto sax, but I played tenor this past marching band season! Also I am ginger as well! I have also started drawing some of this ahhh
I hope you guys enjoyed! Does anyone agree or disagree with any of these? What instrument do you play?

Ninja Fusion Personalities and other character things +Music
So. For the past few days I’ve been hanging out with friends and in my head and on paper I’ve been brainstorming what fusions of the Ninja (from Ninjago) would be and behave like. I’ll work on the designs later but for right now I just want to share what my ideas are. Feel free to share you’re ideas or add more.
(And just for the sake of time and I don’t want to send my entire day writing this, I’m not going to write fusions including Lloyd, Nya, or Morro. I’m also not going to be talking about fusions with more than two people. Trust me, those will be posts for another day.)
Enjoy my dudes!
