I’ve been pondering this for a while but Arin and Cinder dynamic appeals to me and me alone and seeing as Im my foremost fan I think I’m justified in thinking this
This whole thing comes from the fact that both their voices actors play Sonic and shadow In Sonic prime. The oddly gay Sonic Netflix show.
That doesn’t mean I’m interpreting this romantically but i think it’s compelling either way
I find the idea that a complete asshole meets an unconditionally kind person and is basically embarrassed and cared for so much that they HAVE to become a better person very interesting.
There’s also the aspect of hero and villain angst this relationship has the most potential during Arin’s rouge arc. But it could work during the more recent stuff.
There are some other ideas I had but I can’t Segway into them
1. Cinder has breathing issues or cancer because of his power, he developed it after the merge so his body isn’t used to it and he’s struggling
2. Arin has a lot more practical/survial skills, like wound care, medicine, cleaning, and cooking. (Hurt comfort potential)
3. (I’ve talked about this before) but Arin angsting over evil thoughts and cinder either feeding into them or reassuring him that it’s ok.
I’m stuck on this and as long as I’m in the ninjago building I’ll be in my burntpie cardboard box.
