Boo

Hi I’m Asrik! I like analysing and post random headcanons about ninjago, which this page is mostly about!

Fave character is indeed Morro I’m unhealthy about him

A bit more about me: I’m muslim and i am also Pakistani, born and raised in the uk though. I’m a tad bit sarcastic or blunt sometimes so please know everything I say is in a lighthearted or silly tone.

The tags that are most important here is:

#asrikal art- the tag where all my art posts are located!

#asrikals dumb rambles- this tag is for pretty much everything else, including all my rants and rambles (but not random reblogs of stuff)

There comes the instinctual fear I’d guess comes from the fact that he’s the master of Fire. Y’know, the one element water can immediately extinguish.

Beyond that though, first he has to dive after Lloyd and save him in possession, despite being the ONE ninja that doesn’t know how to swim. (Excluding Cole because he was a ghost, and sure Zane and Jay had there own reasons but seriously couldn’t someone have switched with the poor guy)

His sister proceeds to become the ocean. Zero exaggeration and no other explanation needed we all know what I’m talking about. (That same season he also almost drowns alongside Cole, Wu, Ray and Misako, and are just barely saved by the other ninja lifting them out of the water)

Then in Monstrosity, he gets gaslit by an evil water monster into thinking he’s finally found his family when actually no, he’s simply almost drowning to his death because the water made him see those most dear to his heart. And the big robot guy he felt responsible for exploded because the big robot guy (YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN RUSTY!!!) felt like he was responsible for Kai. So.

Not sure how popular or knows the theory that Zane is physically like 40 is by the way.

But like, in a what if situation, imagine they did meet. Would that have changed anything? Been a pivotal moment for either of them? Did Zane meet Morro and wonder the strangeness of how humans are, learning what determination and ‘ninja never quit’, for the very first time, is? Did Morro come across Zane, never meeting Dr Julien due to his nonstop moving to find clues and answers, and wonder if such pure naivety, innocence and hope, would one day be broken, too? Did either of them recognise each other during possession? Noting how this one person has somehow, someway, in a matter of minutes, had an effect on how they thought of the world and its people? Even if only a little?

Morro: haunting the narrative very aggressively

There are two seasons in the series dedicated to saving Zane no matter the cost, the Tournament of Elements and the Ice Chapter in season 11. Both show the ninja willing to drop everything to go save him as quickly as possible the moment they get a chance.

And even if you ignore that, all the ninja have such unique bonds with Zane its crazy

Kai got to the point of betraying everything he was the moment they lost Zane. He fell in to drinking and illegal fighting that led him into an even deeper round of depression over losing Zane.

Lloyd was so determined in finding and hunting down Zane he spent who knows how long trudging through miles of snow to find him, and almost immediately recognised who the Ice emperor was despite the giant mask covering his face.

Jay holds so much care for Zane too, with how often he spends time helping him out in fitting into the world and understanding things he doesn’t know. It’s so sweet seeing how Jay spends so much time bonding with Zane and trying to understand him.

Cole always gets the biggest grin whenever he sees Zane, not matter if it’s in a cage or not. You can tell how much he adores having Zane around as someone he can rely and depend on with how relieved he becomes with him around.

And whilst there is, unfortunately, not many Zane and Nya scenes, it’s easy to understand that the two have many similarities that make them so comfortable with each other. They were both classified as different from their teams in a way that was hard for either of them to overcome without betraying their true selves, until they both embraced that. Not to mention, Nya has always held a fondness for Zane from the small comments shes always made.

Hell, even Wu adores Zane so much as someone who is similar to Wu himself to the point a magazine calls them “(Almost) father and son!”, appreciating Zane’s discipline and care.

Man, if i wanted to i could even say characters like Skylor might’ve visited Zane often when he was captured by Chen, Pixal literally dismantled herself and lost her autonomy all so she can have Zane back, and there is a REASON so many fanfics depict Zane as one of the people who pay attention to Morro and his needs in resurrected fanfics.

There’s something so uniquely special about Zane that connects him to so many people that they feel a softness around him they can’t ignore. If i wanted to link it to qualities in real life that may make someone like that, it’s probably Zane’s lack of judgement of others and overall empathetic nature that aims to understand others.

He’s so sweet guys I love Zane ninjago so much

Also just to add, none of this is to say that the ninja and co don’t hold an unfathomable love for each other either. Wu holds all the ninja so dearly close to his heart as his family, all of them so special to him that he’d probably lose it if they died and left him. Zane equally holds so much adoration for the ninja with how often he sacrifices everything he is and could be and feels so they would all be safe and protected and happy. The ninja have all similarly shown so much pain when losing each other. They were all so willing to lose their elements, something so deeply connected to their very beings, to save Lloyd. You also can’t ignore how they lost it when Nya ‘died’ too, with even Lloyd quitting being a ninja this time. Pixal also has such a significantly close bond to the other ninja that is just never explored enough on the show, similarly to Skylor too actually.

Dissociative Morro who, once resurrected, constantly feels far from his body because it’s not truly his body and its not a state he wants to be in. That, and the added ‘If I’m not the green ninja, who am i?’ He’s probably going through.

Chronic pain Morro because his body is no longer healthy and has went through death. So he has to face the consequences of all the stress and physical trauma he’s been through.

Constantly asleep but not in a way thats healthy because he’s also got insomnia Morro because seriously can you imagine the guy who is not only very likely a workaholic, but also someone who hasn’t needed to sleep for decades, have a normal sleep schedule.
