All Things Are Pastable

Garmadon has no toilet:

Yes, we’re starting off strong with the cultured thoughts today. Is Garmadon’s toilet under his bed or something? Cuz I don’t see one anywhere in his fishbowl looking cell. Maybe his darkness just consumes all of his bodily waste before it leaves or something.

Jay wants to propose to Nya:

Cute, but we already know this is going to be a TERRIBLE time to get married. Better hold off on that until they get this latest mess cleaned up.

The Sacred Wall of Recap:

I find it really funny that there’s a whole part of the mural dedicated to S6 and Kai has no idea what that’s even about. In my head he was like, “Anyone going to tell me who that sus orange boi is?”

The Bounty gets rebuilt… again:

I wonder how long it will take before the Quicker Fixer Upper gets destroyed again. It’s only a matter of time.

Cole gets stuck in traffic:

Cole and Kai seem like they would just fall apart if they got stuck in traffic. Especially when driving a cool ninja vehicle that could easily crush all of the normie cars on the road.

Sensei Wu’s voice gave me immense nostalgia:

Hearing him talk about the Oni in the monastery gave me chills honestly. Combine that with Jay interrupting and this felt like classic Ninjago for a while there.

Black cloud is spoopy:

A dark cloud that turns people into stone? Yeah, that’s pretty terrifying. What’s more scary is the fact that we need GARMADON to fix this of all people. This is clearly going to be fine and not cause problems.

I guess Kai wasn’t there for the recap of that adventure. Tho I feel like he deserves to know because his sister was literally violated that season, and bro has no clue

Would’ve posted earlier, but the Dairy Dragon has been absolutely PACKED due to the heat wave we’ve been having. But! I got a free root beer float with birthday cake ice cream from work, so that’s cool

Chibi Kota, ‘cause his birthday kinda snuck up on me, but I am happy with it nonetheless!

Also, the Dairy Dragon logo that I spent too much time working on for how it ended up in the drawing afagsgsfaac

TAG YOUR MOOTS AND MAKE THEM EXPLAIN THEIR USERNAMES LORE

Starting with me:

Hyyl18 because when i was youngest i had a group in a random app with some friends and i didnt knew qhat username to use so i decided to create one with things i used to read since we were talking abt fanfic in this group so: Hot Yaoi Yuri Lemon +18 stuff (i was in my dirty era dont dare to judge me). Hyyl18 thats it. Now i use it everywhere yay

@privygrid

So mine comes from among us, specifically around the time they added the account feature and you could generate random names and at some point i got "privygrid" and it like immediately resonated with me so i use it everywhere now

tags with my questions/guesses below the cut

My name and my favourite beverage

i tag and guess at urls under the cut

Also this was my AO3 name first, so that’s where it came from!

So this story begins way back when I was a tiny wee little 8th grader like [REDACTED - cuz I'm not sharing my age] years ago. It was about the start of the year and I had a friend who was a ✨youtuber✨ and back when I was in year 8 (and he was year 7), having about 100 subscribers was really awesome- and HE had about 100 subscribers. So I decided I wanted to make my OWN youtube channel.

At the time, I like- was obsessed with dragons- Like OBSESSED. I loved WOF, HTTYD (the books and the movies) and was like drafting my own dragon story ideas that I never actually expanded on. But I needed a youtube channel plan- and a theme. And so came fourth my main OC for about x number of years. She was a purple dragon with crystals. The youtube channel was gonna be called CrystalSky and the dragon OC's name was Sky and uh boy do I miss those good o' days (not) of cringy little me creating stories and plots all in my head and like 'woaj im gonna learn to get my lazy ass to animate and draw better and be a famous youtuber with these stories' but uh yeah plot twist that never happens 😂

So like the start of last year comes by when I finally decide to make a Youtube channel after like forgetting the idea about it for yonks cuz I felt like it but I didn't really have any name ideas so I just like- went with Skyyy. And it stuck ngl. While I abandoned that channel for multiple reasons it is still up and uh ig if you try hard enough (it's probably not that hard to find I have like 20 subscribers tho) you can watch the old videos. Right now, my friend has 150 subscribers exactly and HE hasn't given up. Youtube was fun while it lasted and I don't regret it because I met some pretty awesome people that I'm still friends with and I just have a small side channel thing where I comment on his videos and be's annoying so yeh.

"But.... why is Sky your name on Tumblr- and isn't that the name of one of your OC's in your story?" absolutely no one asked...

Why thank you for asking! Sky kinda has nostalgia for me now ngl. Yeah I'm Sky and I'm a goofy dragon- so what? I love the name Sky. It's so pretty ✨ But uh *cough* yes Skye is the name of one of the characters in my Rottmnt AU. Because before I started writing this AU, I would have my self-insert dragon character be able to turn into a human and she would like travel to different universes and whatever. And when I started writing this AU, I wanted to include her. But I quickly realized she would NOT fit into the plot whatsoever. But I still loved the name Sky so I made a different- unrelated to dragons whatsoever (well- kinda but only if you understand Rottmnt and the Purple Dragons) and her name is Skye so yeah!

But I also go by Blorble sometimes but not on many things- I think it's just google chat, my *new* channel and on my side Pinterest.

YEAH LONG STORY 💀

It’s my username on pretty much everything now—but when I got to Tumblr I learned that someone else had already taken my username! >:0 hence the ‘real’ pink ninja. (Definitely wasn’t salty at all, nope lol)

Mine is my internet name which came from my very deep love for astronomy (yes I do listen to Conan gray) and I always do a half moon when I do my usernames because it’s considered unlucky (in my house at least). My favorite number is 13 because it’s unlucky and everyone usually skips it NOTT because of taylor swift, so I always make my usernames like half moon thirteen or lucky 13. I’ve always love love loved the moon I think it’s so beautiful, so I’ve always wanted that to be who I am in my internet world ehehehehehehe

Anyway um FRIENDS I SUMMON U

Now it's more accurate. Or not idk

Also.. what's wrong with his face😭😭

The ninja return:

And just in time to save Lloyd and Nya from impending doom at the hands of the thugs. I thought it was funny how Nya made a remark about how big the ninjas’ dragons were. She’s like, “I used to only dream about dragons this big,” lol. The unhinged side of my wants to make an edit where Master Wu flies in on Clifford the Big Red Dog who proceeds to flying kick the Colossus thingy in the face.

Stuff must be impossible to insure in this universe:

Even just the Destiny’s Bounty has been destroyed so many times it must be impossible to find an insurance company stoopid enough to cover it lol. Ninjago City gets wrecked so often I’m guessing the premiums are insane.

Dareth hits on the news lady:

Idk if Gayle Gossip is truly ready to comprehend the immensity that truly is the Brown Ninja. I’m imagining how problematic it would be if she went to his apartment and saw how creepy he is about her lol.

Poop ninja jokes:

Poop jokes activate my juvenile brain hehe.

Summon the Family Feud music:

Lloyd and Wu finally get to throw down with the Big Bad G. This feels like a fight they’ve been building up to for a LONG time. Honestly not the most impressive scene… I would’ve loved to see what they could’ve done with the animation nowadays in the Dragons Rising era (now that I’ve had some sneaky peakies at DR S1)

Garmadon’s Colossus gets bodied:

As soon as I realized that the ninja brought the chain guns back from their little excursion I knew the rock monster guy was going to get Empire Strikes Back’d. Is it the most original way of defeating it? No. But watching Kai run around on a rock monster is still cool I suppose.

They could always just out of prison…?

Umm, okay? Something something cartoon logic… It’s like they never considered the idea that they could just decide to not be in prison 😂

A happy ending (or a new beginning?)

Cute to see the ninja meeting each other after they win. The little clank as Zane and Pixal hug was adorable. Jay and Nya have their moment and Kai and Skylor continue to fail at beating the Kailor allegations. Honestly when Cole was smiling at the one lady I thought they were trying to set him up with a random citizen at first before I saw the tray of cakes. It was like he was bummed he didn’t have a girlfriend and decided to make his move on the cake girl lol.

Harumi is nowhere to be found:

This never seems to get brought up at all. None of the ninja are like, “Hey, where’d that crapcake go?”

Season was okay but not my personal favorite:

I’d give it maybe a 6/10. Quality wise it’s probably higher than that, but to my personal taste I will admit this season didn’t quite grab my attention the way S8 did. I think that’s probably the main reason why it took me so long to finish this season. There wasn’t really anything single thing that I didn’t like about it, more so the packaging if you will. Having to follow two different angles for nine episodes was a little distracting and the whole Resistance angle felt more like Lloyd and Nya were just waiting for the others to come back more than anything. Even in the last episode Lloyd basically admits his wait is finally over. The slow pace at which I watched this probably didn’t help, but I’m not totally convinced I’m the only source of blame for this. There was a fair bit of cool stuff they tried to incorporate to keep things interesting but ultimately I had trouble following along with the different storylines.

S10 looks substantially shorter than the previous seasons so maybe I’ll be able to swallow it a little quicker and keep things fresher than with S9. Not sure when I’ll begin that watch as the World Cup currently has my entire attention in its grasp right now.

As previously mentioned, I’ve started watching the first season of Dragons Rising with @cultured-spaghetti. Obviously this isn’t the first watch for her lol, but after maybe 6ish episodes I have to say I’ve enjoyed it a lot despite not having seen Ninjago S10-15. I may need to make a few posts to get caught up with that in the meantime while I attempt to finish the original series.

Imo, the only cool part about the final showdown between Lloyd and Garm is when Lloyd pulls the whole “Silent Fist” technique on the one who taught him that a bajillion seasons ago. They actually USED something from the early seasons and showed that the ninja still remember some of their earlier lessons

Jay x Nya…Zane x Pixal…Kai x Skylor…Cole x cake…and Lloyd x trauma…the perfect ships 👌

Oka, I plan on following everyone on tumblr

literally everyone

Cheers to 35 years of the fastest hedgehog in history! 🦔💨✨

Elemental masters can only give up elements when they're ready to or physically unable to continue or seen as unfit to continue their duties by their sources, and they can choose who the element goes to if they have no children or family remaining.

Shade only gave his up once he saw that Obscuria was old enough to handle the responsibility.

Ray and Maya gave up their powers a few years after their capture in the hopes that Nya and Kai would have a fighting chance against Krux if he ever came back for them.

Hiberus gave up his powers to Zane before his death.

And Morro (+Plus many others) being unable to continue their duties because they are dead. The elemental master can as well just choose to not give up their element to anyone and die with them (Time twins), but their sources will eventually choose a new holder of the element, although it takes a lot more time to do this.

HI GOOSEEEE!!!!

ough i lov this idea because it means elemental masters most often have to make the deliberate and difficult choice to part with something that has represented their fighting spirit for likely a majority of their lives. and having to make the choice to hand it off to someone is an even more intimate choice with having to decide who is fit to handle something great and turn it into something greater
