Since we know the story of Dragons Rising is going to end (based on what Doc Wyatt said in his most recent interview with Brent Miller), I would prefer it to end with Sora and Arin. Of course, everyone else can be there, but it should at least focus on Sora and Arin. Like a full-circle moment from season 1, where we are first introduced to them, and also a call back to the season 3 flashback, where they promise to be "together forever."
Just thinking about Lloyd watching his student, Arin, turning to the dark side, and his other student, Sora, doing everything she can to find him and bring him back, and recognizing how familiar this situation is --- because he was in this same situation with Harumi before.
Just thinking about Lloyd seeing Sora and Arin forgiving each other so easily compared to him and Harumi, and wishing it was that easy. Wishing they had each other to lean on when experiencing their traumas like how his students did after the Merge, hoping that would change how their relationship is now. Wishing him and Harumi had each other like Sora and Arin do...
And he didn't even have to step in to help Sora and Arin resolve their conflicts, having faith in them and allowing space for them to do it themselves. Becuase as much as their situations are similar, they are not him and Harumi. It took so long for him and Harumi to forgive each other, but Sora and Arin were able to forgive each other and themselves in what seems like a heartbeat.
He wonders how they do it, how kindred spirits like them do it. It wouldn't hurt to ask advice from your own students.
Hear me out: Sora and Arin singing the "We Rise x Weekend Whip" mashup, but Sora sings the "We Rise" parts, and Arin sings the "Weekend Whip" parts.
Me, typing the tags in for an old Scipie draft: Hmm, okay...Sora... *types "#sora"* ...and Arin Nived. *types "#arin nived"* Wait a second...Sora AND Arin NIVED????

So reading through your posts does make me wonder whether you ship Sci-pie or not.
Ahhh you caught me, anon ๐ญ๐ญ
I do ship them. Romantically or platonically, though? I'm not sure. It's quite hard for me to have a black-and-white answer for that because their natural, well-established dynamic can work for both a romantic or platonic ship, and I, for one, don't care if it's either. As long as the writers stay true to their dynamic and the strong bond they have, I'll be satisfied.
If you want my opinion, however, I wouldn't be surprised if the writers change their minds and make them end up together in canon, but I donโt want this writing decision to be made solely because there is romantic attraction or feelings between them. Scipie has shown us that love is not just romantic: it is also familial, platonic, and even unconditional. There are instances in real life where people don't need to have romantic feelings for each other to be in a committed relationship, such as in QPRs and platonic marriages; Scipie would probably be like that if they were to end up together. ย Do I believe it is better for them to simply stay friends in canon? ย Yes. Having them eventually enter an exclusive romantic relationship would undermine the reason why many people, myself included, like Scipie: a boy-girl friendship with their dynamic and so great a non-romantic love for each other is refreshing and unique because it isn't often represented or executed well in media. Even if there are no romantic feelings or attraction involved, it would certainly upset people who aren't open to the idea of them being mutually exclusive, especially if they ship Arin or Sora with somebody else, or strongly believed for the longest time that the writers wouldn't (or shouldnโt) be going in that direction for them.
That is just for the canon side of things, though. In an AU sense, I'll probably be more confident in shipping them in a romantic or QPR way. But even then, that still feels like walking on eggshells. As much as Scipie is precious, they are delicate because of the way their dynamic works. There's something about Scipie that is so undeniably, irrevocably them that fitting them into conventional labels doesn't feel like doing them justice. Ninjago relationships have always been distinct about whether they are romantic, platonic, familial, etc., but Scipie breaks that mold, as if they could and probably are encompassing all, or at least most, of the types of love. Perhaps that is what makes them so refreshing and unique.
(On a side note, just because I post more Scipie stuff than the other new Ninja ships/duos doesn't mean I don't like them. I'm just more drawn to Scipie because, as I said, their dynamic is refreshing and unique โบ๏ธ)
No wonder the Ninjago writers made Sora and Arin besties because their counterparts in other media have been romantically shipped, or at least were strongly implied to be romantic, in canon:
I find that Sora and Frak's dynamic bears similarities to the banter and chemistry seen in enemies/rivals-to-lovers dynamics, but the difference between Sora and Frak's dynamic from a typical enemies/rivals-to-lovers dynamic is that the characters in an enemies/rivals-to-lovers dynamic are focused on each other, hence why they hate or feel the need to compete against each other. Sora, however, was not focused on Frak initially. She was focused on finding Arin, who was on their enemy's side, the same time Frak started showing obvious signs of his crush on her, trying to gain her attention. This first stage of their relationship sets the foundation for what kind of dynamic they are going to have. Sora and Frak do care for each other and they may become a thing in the future, but if it comes to, Sora will always go to the ends of the world for Arin.
