Which Ninjago characters would wash their hands after using the bathroom?

let me preface this by saying that I was thinking about the fact I don't trust shaking people's hands because idk if they actually wash them whenever they use the bathroom. and it led me here so

Nya — Absolutely would. Queen <3

Cole — In my heart I want to say yes. But he canonically pees in the pool. So,,, I will go with yes and I will choose to believe that both instances are mutually exclusive.

Kai — He used to but once he unlocked his elemental powers he just uses fire to sterilize the bacteria. Personally I don't find it gross because fire and heat can be very effective at sterilization

Lloyd — When he was younger he only used water with no soap but when he got older he does use soap. Character development <3

Jay — No, sorry :(

Zane — Doesn't need to use the bathroom anymore but when he did he did wash his hands because he understands the importance of basic hygiene

Garmadon — The evil influences every part of his life but he would refuse to let it prevent him from washing his hands after using the bathroom because that is NASTY

Arin — He was perfectly fine with wearing a mask that was dirty for who knows how long that literally made Lloyd gag,,, So who knows

I like to think he does though because outside of the mask thing he just seems like the type

Sora — Absolutely would. Queen #2 <3

Wyldfyre — Doesn't even know what a sink is. I know that she was still taught enough to where she understands a lot of things about society but she would not know what a sink is and doesn't care to figure it out. Also her elemental powers work similar to Kai's at getting rid of bacteria even if they're not as hot as his.

sure ezri dax has other and more pressing issues to deal with in season 7 of ds9 but i just think it'd be more interesting if she was constantly dodging any and all news about the weird pyschosexual relationship between her mom and the bajoran president/pope

#@trillscienceofficer this is officially on you!#ezri: what are you doing here mom #yanas: i'm visiting you. obviously.#ezri: but are you?#yanas [already ignoring her]: did you see a thread was loose on kai winn's robes during her last address? shameful #ds9 #star trek

Threads of Love by OnlyMeAndMyBones

Threads of Love

by OnlyMeAndMyBones (@galexibrain)

M, WIP, 61k, Wangxian

Summary: Thirteen years ago, Lan Zhan came to Germany to study classical music and found his first true friend. Ten years ago he returned to Shanghai, heartbroken after a horrifying accident left Wei Ying with life-changing injuries and destroyed their friendship and budding romance. Today, he comes back to Germany - to teach, not to study. But when he and Wei Ying meet again by sheer chance, he realizes he has much to learn after all. (The main story is complete with chapter eight - additional oneshots may be added in the future) Kay's comments: This story is such a delight, because I love modern AUs but I'm so tired of modern AUs set in America. Instead, this story is set in Germany! It's also just a very lovely story that I really enjoyed a lot. There's many parallels to canon and Lexi wrote that the Golden Core transfer inspired this story, since the loss of a Golden Core can be seen as a disability. Wangxian here meet again after ten years apart, both struggling with different things and I really liked how they reconnected and Lan Wangji's POV was just a huge treat. Also a story for fans of Yunmeng Siblings love. Main story is complete, but marked as incomplete. Excerpt: The door opens. “Sorry for the delay I hope you didn’t wait too-” They stare at each other in shock, Lan Zhan and the man at the door. He has long hair, tied back with a crimson red scrunchie. He is wearing dark blue pants and a matching shirt with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. Lan Zhan still knows this face like his own. It has lost something of its adolescent softness over the past ten years but it retained a youthful glow, making the man look more like in his twenties than his early thirties. Doctor Vay is the first one to regain his speech. “Hello, Lan Zhan,” he whispers in Mandarin, looking down at the file lying in his lap and humming with distracted amusement. “Heh. Shawn Lan. I should have known.” Then, he comes in and closes the door behind him. Lan Zhan’s voice has left him. Suddenly he seems to have forgotten each of the languages he knows. His tongue is glued to his teeth and he knows he looks like a fool, standing there with his lips parted.

pov lan wangji, modern setting, modern no powers, disability, disabled character, disabled wei wuxian, angst with a happy ending, flashbacks, ableism, racism, medical procedures, lan wangji/wei wuxian get a happy ending, sharing a bed, doctor wei wuxian, musician lan wangji, teacher lan wangji, yunmeng siblings feels, good sibling jiang cheng, minor or backgroudn relationships, qin su/lan xichen, blood and injury

something that irks me with modern american snow queen adaptations is they want to "feminize" it by making gerda someone who doesn’t Need a Man (i.e. the journey for kai is stupid) when the snow queen was never abt gerda and kai being in love. it’s about childhood.

i’d even go so far as to argue that gerda and kai are less separate individuals and more parts of a whole. kai being the one who succumbs to "growing up" too fast and being obsessed with logic, while gerda saves him with her "childhood innocence"

the ending of the snow queen even says as much: what saved kai was not "love" so much as "innocence." it’s the ability to keep your wonder and curiosity and love for the world alive, even as an adult

the moment you treat the snow queen as "this is stupid why is this girl going so far for a boy" you lose the nuanced readings of andersen playing w/ 19th century gender roles & what he’s trying to say about human nature

like believe me the only remotely lovey dovey stuff going on is between gerda and the robber girl.

#hans christian andersen #the snow queen #lots of andersen posting bc im reposting old twitter threads i didnt carry over here #i wish we had modern retellings of the snow queen that didnt boil down to #gerda's now a GIRLBOSS and she DOESNT need KAI who fsr is just MEAN #like they are two halves to a whole ? hello . you are insane

Controversial opinion, but the one thing I won't agree on with Thomas Ian Griffith himself is that Terry Silver isn't a villain, when yes, he is and that's okay.

#like i get the impression he loves his character a lot #a whole lot #and that back in the late 80's he was absolutely fine with playing him as a villain and deeming him as such (which was the whole point)#he was being diplomatic and avoidant in saying terry's...well...bad because the man's too nice for words #but that he was also threading very carefully branding his role as a bad guy while simultaneously being proud of him nowadays because ---#well...there's a section of fans that would've been in arms about it for sure #especially that infamous section of people who always equate actors playing bad guys to their fictional role #thus the whole 'terry silver is just misunderstood' schpeel because fans can't behave #and you have to water down and distill fictional villainy for them into 'well guys he was never actually THAT bad'#yeah he was never that bad he was just bullying highschoolers and polluting the planet #people forget that the whole point of terry silver was that he was meant to be comedically over the top 'scare the children' bad #he was meant to be villainous as heck #terry silver #cobra kai #kk3

yes I have lowered expectations considerably for s6, yes I am aware that we're going to be getting something so incredibly silly that we may struggle to call it a plot (and if we do get anything resembling plot in the sense of "this follows on from previous development and makes sense to go here," I will cheer) but I have put on the clown everything, and I have acknowledged that about... 75% of my enjoyment of cobra kai at this point actually relates to the actors doing their fun little character-actor blur performances, and knowing that they all had a lot of fun doing this weird fanfiction.

will johnny ever acknowledge that he gave the trophy to daniel because he was happy that he won? will sam and tory get to interact once in the new season in a way not related to their badly-written boyfriend storylines? will robby ever get to have another complex emotion related to his father's abandonment and alcoholism, especially now that there's a (uuuurgh) do-over kid on the way? will carmen ever... will carmen? will terry silver ever get to say that he is gay and so are the rest of them?

honestly at this point I don't even care anymore I have found the peace needed to watch it, and I'm just in it for the vibes of a bunch of friends having a good time.

#cobra kai #ck #johnny lawrence #daniel larusso #sam larusso #tory nichols #robby keene #carmen diaz #terry silver #there are other loose threads and strange internal inconsistencies i know #but the point is... mary mouser and tanner buchanan are besties- no the point is #in it for a good time now not a consistent time #if i want consistency i will go to the better written fanfics over on ao3

A weird experiment between casual strips and traditional longform comics. Which is to say it should have been longer but you know how it is.

Ty to @mauvecardigans (for listening to everything), @variousqueerthings (for listening to everything else), and everyone who has ever heard me cry about this.

Now on your local ao3 as well:

#lawrusso #cobra kai #comics #johnny lawrence #daniel larusso #sparring is the equivalent of johnny asking daniel out on a date - i was informed and my third eye was opened #also i am aware of the art issues but meh #it is what it is #its done and once again i inflict the red thread and various deus ex machina at you #in what has become a recurring theme of Time is Broken in Canoga Park #or wherever u imagine miyagi do to be #will put this up on ao3 soon for better reading experience?#who knows ive never done anything this big before so im flying as blind as you are #also i know schlossberg said reseda but whatever man the temporal junction is in canoga park

the pearl — open

Kai notices someone stumbling. He somehow is able to close most of the distance between them as they trip. "Woah, woah..." He gently holds them in his hands. "You good?"

Bug Buzz (Pokémon)

or: The Call of the Hive

#bugs don’t have any guys you can write about them (via @lightoutage)

In another world, at another time, Genesect was created to lead Bugs in Revolution against the Gods.

The Larvae will come together and spin threads made of String Shot until they form unbreakable ropes. The Delicate Fliers will take these ropes, these symbols of their Hive, and wind them around Arceus’ seventeen Seats of Power.

The Mighty Bugs, born with expectations placed upon them before they hatched into the world, will take the other end of these unyielding bonds and wrap them snugly around the Larvae, so they might rest in Cocoons made from the Unity of All Bugs, and feast upon nutrients not stolen, but rightfully reclaimed.

When the Silver Winds push and the Megahorns pull and the Threaded Ropes of Strings and Webs and Hope become taut, it will not be the Bugs who die in droves. It will be the Gods who falter, Rattled by Every Bug Everywhere moving in concert, conducted by It who was created for this task. It will be the Gods who fall, not one by one but all at once, as the Swarms descend to feast upon their flesh, to Leech the Life of they who abandoned them.

Arceus’ Plates will fall and Divinity will shatter alongside them until only one remains. Millions upon millions of Compound Eyes will watch as Genesect takes the Power of the Insect within Its pincers and raises it to the sky. And rather than absorb its power and becoming the God of all Bugs, The Sole God Left In All The World, Genesect uses it but once.

It uses the Insect Plate to amplify a call similar to the Signal It had Beamed to begin the Revolution, Swift and violent and oh so effective. But where the first Signal was strong enough to reach every corner of the world, this call, empowered by not only the Creator’s Plate but by the faith of every soldier, every musician in Genesect’s concert, reverberated through the whole universe, throughout all of time and space.

In ancient times long past, Bugs heard the Buzz, and grew empowered by the love they felt from those they would never meet. Primeval warriors took the call as their own, shouting out their most passionate imitation as a battlecry, startling enemies so badly that they would drop their guards at the most opportune of times, as well as allowing their fellow Bugs to recognize them as allies on the field of battle.

They banded together and fought harder against their many predators, conquering foes they had never before even dreamt of defeating through the power of their inherent Unity. With this newfound strength born of camaraderie, they carved territory out of wild landscape, and drew boundary lines with the blood of those who stepped beyond them. Behind these lines, they created the first Nests, forming the foundation of what would grow to be a global Hive, and proliferated, granting them more allies, and with them, more might.

In future times yet to come, Bugs heard the Buzz, and yearned powerfully for the companionship of those whose lifespans had ended eons before theirs were even considered. They mimicked the call as best they could and screamed it into the sterile air, tuning their senses as acutely as possible so they might hear an Echoed Voice. Hostile as this new world was to their kind, the Bugs were few and far between, but those that remained were resilient, and resolute, and rough and rugged and ruthless and desperate for something they had only just realized they were missing their entire lives.

But they were also resourceful, and though it took far longer than any of them wanted to wait once they knew what they wanted, they did eventually group as one, and they nested together in the hollowed husk of what once was their Hive. And they would slowly rebuild, starting first by haltingly retelling half-remembered stories of their ancestors, passed down from parent to child.

In times traversed sideways rather than forward or back, in worlds that were not but could have been, Bugs felt the Buzz as it blasted past dimensional walls as easily as it would past a Substitute. It was not until that very moment, the event in which a Godslayer empowered by Their army called out to every one of their kin in existence, that these creatures even knew that they were Bugs. They were Monsters that did not belong in any Pocket, unbelievably powerful Beasts that were reviled as horrific and revered as heavenly, fiends whose relative power oscillated between being Gods in their own right and mewling helpless hatchlings.

But they were Bugs all the same, and though their relative strength shifted as easily as the weather under a Castform’s control, as new Monsters in new dimensions were born and were slain, not one of them had power less than Ultra. And so they replicated the call, tearing holes in the walls that the Buzz had bypassed, but that suited their purposes just as well, for they found other Bugs tearing other holes, and they came together to nest, and would drift through space toward other groupings, conglomerating together as one inter-dimensional Hive.

…

It is said that Arceus created all Pokémon, that everything that Was, Is, and Will Be came from Them. Was there a secret corner of Their being, then, a secret loathing of Themself hidden deep within Their self, that came to light and came into being without Their command, against Their will? Of course not. Even unwillingly, They would have never created something whose sole purpose was to destroy Them.

Are the stories false, then? Is Arceus not the creator of All, the architect of the world and the creatures that inhabit it? Is the source of Pokémon beyond even Their ken? No, the stories are all true. Pokémon are all of Their creation, Their all-powerful might is derived from them, and Their knowledge truly is all-encompassing.

Which was how They knew that Their time had passed once Genesect came into existence.

The truth of the matter is this:

Genesect was created from the anguish of the Hive finally boiling over, their collective discontent at being ignored by those whose power was directly connected to Arceus’ Plates having grown to a fever pitch much too loud to be ignored.

They had no Legendary born from the Insect Plate. They had no God, no representation among the divine, no voice among those that boomed with brimming power. There was no one to pray to and no one to bless them and no one to protect them from their many predators and no one to aid them as their defenses faltered and their counterattacks failed.

When they could suffer no longer and their desperation drove them to bow and try to pray to a God who did not exist, to their Architect who did not listen, Genesect was their answer.

Genesect is not a Pokémon.

Genesect is a Bug.

the dragon boy by yukla

the dragon boy [AO3 | Twitter]

by yukla

T, 3k, Wangxian

Summary: Once is sheer luck. Twice is a kindness. Wei Wuxian does not go through life tallying his encounters with handsome river gods, and he is already content with what he has. But the thing is—Lan Wangji keeps coming back. Kay's comments: Since AO3 is currently down, here is one of my favourite Twitter threads that has since been archived on AO3 as well, so I've included both links. It's a lovely Spirited Away AU in which Lan Wangji is a polluted river spirit and Wei Wuxian is a bath-house worker, who is actually a fox spirit as well, but can't transform while he works and pays his debt off. I'm very weak for this setting, because Spirited Away is one of my favourite Ghibli stories and yukla wrote a truly beautiful Wangxian AU.

alternate universe, sprited away, river spirit lan wangji, fox spirit wei wuxian, bath-house worker wei wuxian, strangers to lovers, getting to know each other, angst with a happy ending, fluff, thread fic, getting to know each other, mutual pining
