#in this case

[localguy2]

Okay look you don't understand, The Pre-Pilots Kai book does things to my brain that I couldn't even imagine-

I already adore Kai and Zane and their show dynamic but this fucking book takes it to a WHOLE new level, like "Jay and Cole are best friends" levels when it comes to dynamic.

I've said a million times and I'll say it again, Kai gets Zane like no one else, he has a particular soft spot for the guy the other ninja didn't have at the time, and I'd argue even nowdays he still has that soft spot, and I'd assume vice versa as well.

And just, aghhg7abflnwofm

They both are so amazing I love them, Zane might not fully understand Kai, and the guy probably stood out to Zane immediately because he's so god damn out there and Loud and angry and all that-

But even if he's bad at emotions, he's smart enough to know that it's out of deep care and worry...

"I envy you"

HE FUCKING KNOWS KAI IS LIKE THAT BECAUSE HE'S SO WORRIED ABOUT NYA GET OUT-

Then suddenly, it's turned 180 when Kai wonders why Zane even envys him.

How can you envy someone that just lost their family member?

Answer: You don't even have family to begin with.

Like the secretly ever caring guy he is, Kai goes:

"I've been so caught up with my own problems, I never stopped to think about what his might be."

At that moment, Kai realised that despite everything, he has a luxury that Zane might never be able to expiernce (within the context of The Pilots, ignore "Tick Tock" for now), and he can't even imagine his life without any family.

That, in Kai's mind, is hard to comprehend fully, "Wouldn't that be at least a little distracting?"

Oh how we'd come to eventually understand SO CLEARLY if you've read the Zane Pre-Pilots book and watched Tick Tock, as a matter of fact, that that's possibly the most distracting thing ever for Zane, he constantly thinks about his past, and Kai managed to make that good assumption purely off of Zane's explanation of his very brief past.

And if that wasn't already bad enough for my brain rot-

Since they have time, why not and try solve Zane's issues with him?

Look I'M TELLING YOU- THESE 2 ARE BESTIES-

#ninjago #zane julien #kai smith #I've only read the Zane and Kai ones #But some people have told me the other two are pretty cool as well #From what I've read in the Kai and Zane books #And from what I've been told #These books are just extremely deep dives into the Characters of Kai Zane Cole and Jay #Or their Pilot era characters #And some of this material has aged wonderfully #In this case #Kai's caring nature #And DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED OM THE ZANE BOOK-

Buck: You really need to stop using humor to hide your trauma, Eds. Eddie: Aww, thanks babe! Buck, distressed: It's not a good thing! Eddie, smiling: All I'm hearing is that you think I'm funny, so that's all that matters.

i'm not sure how comfortable i feel making fun of the "twitter main character of the day" usually but i will say "white woman who's career is going to japan to make fun of white people who go to japan get's deported from japan for harassing people" is. a little funny.

#for the record japan's deportation laws are bad #but it was #sort of funny #a little bit #in this case

you’re so right dude, they enable each other so much, everytime matt mutters ‘kys’ to someone under his breath, gil gains an extra life

HAHAHAH is this a good moment to share that this is the 1st drawing I did of them? but HAHAHA hard agree..

#I really fw the idea of Matt showing his least nice side to a very select group of people #in this case #Gil #I’ve been thinking quite a bit abt them… #goddamn #I like how they’re both just forgotten by the rest of the cast #so I think matt would nott care abt a nice facade in front of Gil #much to think much to think.. #prucan

it’s also baffling to me that tumblr, home of the ‘why are white men Still being cast as the doctor’ for So many years now (For you know, like over a decade.) is somehow not appalled that they hired a white dude to be the next Doctor because look okay it’s okay if it’s This white man. 

I mean, I do not consent to acknowledge that they’ve shoved him in there under any circumstance, but my Only need for the casting of the next person was that it was Not a white man, otherwise i didn’t care who it was, so when they “announced” Gatwa I was satisfied (i am hesitant to say they announced it bc it was more like a tiny footnote than an announcement, oh the disrespect) and it took a whole seven days (it was literally seven days. Yes i counted. it was easy since it was only seven days) it was ‘actually sorry no it’s this white dude we’ve already had before did we forget to mention that???’ and it’s steadily gotten worse and worse. 

That This site of all places is not up in arms about both the situation and how it specifically played out is depressing, but also massively and darkly hilarious.  

Especially since i Also remember nobody on this site thought casting Whittaker was good enough but literally going backward to a previous white man is?? This is not even a metaphor about diversity getting worse, they literally looked backwards. 

But, yeah,  tenn/ant with the ‘what the future looks like’ headline is uh... Good???? Not super worrying and ominous? 

I feel like i’ve been dumped in some weird parallel universe by reactions to all of this on here like??? the whole way this was done was appalling, the situation is appalling, but i guess the bbc/disney should get a rousing round of applause for accurately judging that nobody would care about their poor actions if the specific white guy they cast was popular enough that next to nobody would care. 

( and to the ‘it’s an anniversary ep’ thing, they legit could have just set a couple of eps in the past. i don’t mean they travel to the past. i mean just say ‘hey this ep is set during s4!’ and nobody would care. this show does weirder stuff than this every second episode. and it would still be bad, but how they did it is so much Worse.)

#dw shit #literally feel like i live in some wild parallel universe where weird shit is happening #genuinely #i am baffled #while also not being baffled at all #i try to be a realist rather than be cynical or optimistic but you know what #in this case #i honestly expected better of people #guess the cynicism would have helped here #idk i love 13 but i like jodie too and it'd Suck Balls to see her stomp on somebody else down the line #i'd hate it #i'd lose respect for her #but i've never been one for stan culture i guess #any bs on this one gets blocked and totally ignored tbh the level to which i do not care is So High #all i'm saying is #when they do more bs with white guys you Don't like #remember they learnt they can get away with it when nobody cared when they did it the first time #their litmus test has sure given Results

Aftermath - MK1 Rain

This is my interpretation of what happened immediately after the events of Rains character ending; his POV, of course. Featuring Havik as well.

Slow, heaving breaths. In and out through his mouth. The air burnt his throat as it went down to fill his lungs. His fingers curled into the earth below, dirt coating his hands and knees from where he lay on the ground. Rain could not focus on anything, the empty feeling in his bones weighed him down, and made him feel weightless at the same time.

The ground beneath his hands welcomed him as his fingers clawed into it. He could feel the rage leaving his body in waves, draining him of any energy he had left. Rain did not think he was capable of such anger, such power. He could barely lift his head up to observe what he had done — though at this angle, the cliff edge blocked his view completely.

A manic laughter started from somewhere to his right, echoing through Rain's skull. “By all the Gods- Rain! You did not tell me you could do things like this!” Rain didn’t really remember what happened, only that it was the most difficult thing he had ever done in his life. He had to channel so much energy into the magic that he lay now on his hands and knees, unable to force himself up.

There came a long moment of silence filled with Rain's ragged breaths — and an occasional, airy laugh from Havik — before the quiet was broken. “Rain?” There was an edge to Haviks voice, one of concern though he would never admit that, especially not to Rain.

He could not respond, no matter how hard he tried. Rain vaguely felt a hand gently laying on the base of his neck. He could see Havik crouching down from out of the corner of his eye. “Rain? C’mon get up, you gotta see this.”

His breathing slowed, and he was able to push up with his hands so that he was sitting on his legs, leaning back so his eyes could see nothing but the cloudy sky above. It was dark, each cloud a shade of gray, though slowly they started to dissipate. Rain could feel his hood slide back off his head, and he reached up to pull his mask off of his mouth. Haviks hand left his neck and instead reached under Rain's right arm to throw over his own shoulder. Rain accepted the help gratefully as the latter heaved him up to his feet. Rain groaned and leaned into Haviks side, his legs threatening to buckle under him. He blinked slowly as he looked upon the sight before him, sure that he had gone insane.

The space between the cliff they were standing on and the mountain in the distance held nothing but water. The only thing breaking its surface was the top of one of Seido’s temples. Everything else was submerged in the still water. The entire city was gone.

Rain's breath hitched and he could not comprehend what he was seeing. The city was gone, he did that? He did this? No that, that wasn’t right. Rain wasn’t strong enough to do that. This level of destruction shouldn’t even be possible.

Havik laughed again, “See? Isn’t it glorious? I did not know you had this in you, friend!”

Rain still could not believe it, he did all of that? Surely he was dreaming, he was not yet powerful enough to do anything close to this caliber. He swallowed down the lump building in his throat, “Outworld will- will catch wind of this soon. We should go.” The words burned as they left his mouth.

Havik grumbled, knowing Rain was right, but not wanting to leave the wonderful sight of a destroyed Seido so soon. “Can you walk?”

Rain shifted his weight back to his feet — taking his arm off of Haviks shoulder — and swayed a bit, though otherwise was able to stand on his own. He nodded and steadied himself before trying to turn to the forest behind them. Rain put his entire focus onto walking, one foot in front of the other, and repeat. Again, repeat. One foot in front of the other. Aagin. Havik may not have been supporting him, but he was still standing much closer to Rain than he normally would — he was likely preparing in case Rain collapsed or lost his footing.

He was only half-listening to Haviks excited rambling, he was saying something about Seido. Rain was a bit taken aback by the abrupt bitter taste that entered his mouth. He wanted this. Rain wanted to take down Seido and its incredibly oppressive forces. It's something that he's always hoped for.

They rightfully deserved it, their tyrannical “government” oppressed its people and led for them barely survivable lives; Rain has seen this for himself multiple times. So why did he feel like he did something wrong?

He was suddenly very cold, but his skin was coated in sweat. The forest around them seemed to spin and fold in on itself, and again Rain could barely lift his head. His legs started to shake so he stopped walking — as if Rain was going to continue much longer, being as dizzy and lightheaded as he was — and closed his eyes.

Rain felt… hollow; like someone had taken all of his bones from his body. He could hear Havik stop talking, but anything said after was muffled and faraway.

Each intake of air stabbed spears through his brain, and impossibly still, even with his eyes closed, he could feel the ground below begin to twist and spin. Trying to steady himself, Rain leaned down to hold his knees with his hands, each breath coming out broken through his mouth.

Havik was talking, but Rain could not hear the words. He opened his eyes to the ground below to concentrate on something, anything. The leaves swam in his vision and the colors blurred together.

With shaking hands, Rains eyes rolled to the back of his head and he collapsed on the forest floor.

Bobby: Son, what do you have to say for yourself? Buck: Is this about me and Eddie commandeering our firefighter gear for domestic use? Because I don't think I should get reprimanded for doing what you and Ma already did, Pops. Bobby: ... Buck, sighs: It wasn't about that, was it? Bobby, voice strained: No, it was not.

me after spending three hours baking in the kitchen: the author better describe me as smelling like freshly baked cookies

#sup nerds #this idea has been bouncing around in my head for the last few days and I finally decided to post it #paying tribute to all those fanfics where the authors would go into way too much detail #those fics were an important part of my development #always think about how an author would describe me #in this case #better be #sugar and spice and everything nice #of course I picked up my dog a little later so I’m sure I smelled more like dog than I did sugar so there goes that plan

Was actually thrilled to have them include Roy and Jamie’s season 1 pitch brawl in the A Look Back video because the only reason Beard would ever have done that is to demonstrate the stark contrast between the rivalry that came before and the friendship they have today. That’s the joke, after all: the frankly absurd discrepancy between what they once were and what they are now.

And it’s notable that we get this after the Beer Date Incident, when Roy and Jamie both fall back into bad old habits and it becomes clear that brawling might not stricly be a thing of the past. The thing is, though, that the aftermath is so very different these days. They no longer need to be seperated by their teammates – they figure out a different and less violent (though frankly also very stupid) “solution” to their quarrel, pursue it together, and when that falls through they contemplate and admit their idiocy and go off to share a meal and make nice. The vidoe doesn’t reignite any tension; they are clearly fine at this point, both of them smiling and with Jamie looking over at Roy like that.

Our boys sure did stumble in this episode – as they will again, no doubt – but a stumble doesn’t change the fact of the road already covered. They have come so very far. 

(I also love this because the little meaningful and somewhat pointed look Beard is giving Roy allows for the conspiracy theory that our friend Willis somehow learned what happened the other night and wants to remind Roy that yeah, this is what you were and is that really something you want to go back to? Uh-nuh, get it together, man.)
