Nya Ninjago - Tumblr Posts

Jay the silliest ever

Also him and nya binge watched miraculous ladybug together cuz I said so ? Also send help I can't stop drawing characters w this face :3

oops!! nya!!!!!!!!!!

im just messing around atp lollllll i need to do a proper lineup / redesign :///

kai n nya doodle

The mysterious Samurai X has a new vehicle! I thought it would be cool to try to challenge myself to make a transforming model and it was definitely challenging and theres no reason whatsoever that i don’t have any pictures from the back or have the mech in more than one pose. Again just want to restate, no reason at all

celebrity / social media hc for the ninja ;

inspired by ceoofmorro's series of a similar topic

lloyd

bro is addicted to both tiktok and twitter at the same time

likes/comments very frequently so it's super common to be scrolling tiktok and seeing that lloyd fucking garmadon himself commented on some kpop edit

he gets tagged in a lot of fritz donnegan content (and bonds w jay over their shared love for the character)

mostly appears in interviews/qna's/premiers, but the poor boy is still super awkward through all of it. he's very convinced he'll never get used to the spotlight

he donates to/advocates for a lot of children's mental health organizations and lgbtq+ fundraisers

he rarely posts on any social media, but he puts a lot of random pictures on his instagram story. it's mostly just blurry photos of the other ninja's faces because he's a shit photographer (and knows it)

kai

kai mostly sticks to twitter and instagram

he does a lot of modelling in his free time with nya, but everyone and their mother knows that if he wasn't a ninja, he would be a full-time model

effortlessly cool during interviews and such. he knows what he says are basically the words of god in some people's eyes and he abuses this power to its fucking limits

he has DEFINITELY done those '(insert celebrity) reads thirst tweets' things. he enjoyed it way too much

trends on twitter very often for pulling dumb bs (mostly pranks and random selfies in the middle of life-or-death situations)

reposts thirst traps and edits of himself for fun and loves to watch everyone panic over the fact he sees them

definitely the type of guy to use a samsung fridge to tweet

nya

nya does a lot of modelling with kai. media outlets absolutely adore them, they got to be on multiple magazine covers together and do lots of creative photoshoots (which nya also started to organize herself when she found out kai had a genuine passion for modelling)

the two are an unstoppable duo when they're not arguing over pineapple pizza on twitter fr

posts weekly photo dumps on instagram which usually include a LOT of mirror selfies

it's a lifestyle really

despite not using twitter much, she frequently gets on trending for her daily Queen Shit™

she started to embrace her feminine side more after skybound, and a very vocal feminist

I think I saw tommy andreasen say smth like nya would have a self-improvement channel on youtube, I really like that idea!

jay

fellow tiktok addict

seriously tho, get this guy off tiktok. he literally cannot stop it's kinda scary

I think it'd be funny if zane and pixal saw his screentime and decided to set some sort of parental control on his devices, and no matter he tries he can't seem to bypass it

drives him crazy

definitely a fandom boy you cannot change my mind, he loves fritz donnegan content and other comic heroes

generally considered to be on 'the weird side of tiktok' by his friends

gets super excited whenever fans ask for stories from the ninja's adventures. he calls together a group of kids to sit in a circle in the middle of the supermarket as he tells them about the hands of time or the tournament of elements

cole

he likes producing small tidbits of music and even draws sometimes, definitely the artsy one of the group. give this man a canvas and some paints and you'll get cole more excited than when he sees a slice of cake

has so many spotify playlists, some of them are public and they have SO many likes. people love his music taste!

he likes talking with fans and is super down-to-earth with reporters and interviewers. he's usually the one to steer the convo to himself when morro or lloyd get a bit antsy on camera

He would definitely help and feature on nya's self-improvement a lot, he finds it fun and rewarding

publicly shares his celebrity crushes online and panics when he sees the crush actually responds

he posts his favourite cake recipes!! his favourite is chocolate <3

zane

jay introduced him to meme culture after he got unlimited access to the internet through his titanium body

it was love at first sight

he started to binge random cat videos whenever he got the time and shows them to all the others like a facebook mom showing her kids an unfunny minions meme

he's always the voice of reason in interviews, correcting little mistakes or exaggerations in story retellings and such

jay calls him a buzzkill for it, but he claims that he's just a stickler for the details

maybe after he gets more acquainted with social media, he starts a blog or maybe a yt channel for his tech rambles which heavily features jay and nya :D

pixal

never really posts much on social media because she's always so busy with ninja mission-type shit

she does get kinda flattered when little kids come up to her and ask for an autograph, she thinks it's nice samurai x is inspiring young people

zane likes showing her dumb memes and stuff, but she pretends to brush them off. (she secretly finds them kinda funny)

if you looked on her youtube recommended page, it's always covered with stupid cat videos because she once binged them for an hour straight with zane and now her youtube recommended thinks she's a crazy cat lady because she hasn't watched anything else since

harumi

in my perfect world au, she gets redeemed and lives with the ninja

people were super hesitant when the princess who committed multiple war crimes and tried to resurrect lord garmadon was getting all buddy-buddy with the ninja, but she advocates for good changes a lot and has proven herself to be good :)

already kinda used to the social spotlight from her time as a princess, except now the pressure is amplified x100

takes it like a champ tho, and she even guides lloyd through all the social pressure like a master

doesn't post too much, but sometimes responds to the ninja's dumbass tweets for the funsies

morro

even though no one really recognizes him as the ghost that destroyed stixx and tried to take over ninjago, he still gets super nervous whenever out and about. again, it's my perfect world au where he gets revived and redeemed. <3

kai told him he needs a "strong online presence in today's day and age" (he doesn't but oh well)

started to explore his style more when he got tumblr ("NO NO THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT" -kai)

he would be so unapologetically judgy with reporters because he finds it weird that they wanna know so much about his personal life (and he forgets that he's being broadcasted on live tv)

has been cancelled many times for super dumb shit (he said he likes pineapple pizza,,)

refuses to do advertisements ever since seeing that one 'reading is the start to every adventure!1!!!' ad

But give it a year and Nya and Lloyd can both pull this off, but Cole and Jay better not touch any of Kai's food.

But also realize that if Kai had to provide for the two of them, they probably never had enough to eat, which means they would both have to stop themselves from hoarding food, they would both hate anyone eating their food (except Kai wouldn't mind Nya doing it because he always wants her to have more than him), and they would probably both eat a lot at every meal. Also they would probably buy snacks after fights, before they go home. They'd probably both spend most of their money on food.

Kai: WHO ATE MY BREAD?! Kai: I'M GOING TO F***ING K- Nya: I did? Kai: Kiss you and buy some more, you haven't been eating anything today Nya. *walking away* Nya: Nya: Their gone Lloyd. Little!Lloyd, coming out the closet with bread stuffed in his mouth: Twankh uh!

Lloyd: Who wants to make fifty bucks? Kai: How? Lloyd: I need someone to take the fall. Kai: What did you do? Lloyd: I can't tell you. Yes or no, no questions asked. Nya, from the other room: Oh my master. Lloyd: ... Nya: OH MY MASTER! Kai: Make it a hundred. Lloyd: Deal.

Nya built it from the ground up, but that left her with no room for any kind of creativity and no time to develop her skills.

PIXAL was able to take the prototype and develop her skills and the mech a LOT because she wasn't being called on for anything and could solely work on that.

So they both did a lot, but PIXAL ended up with the better result because she used Nya's work too. And PIXAL had a better face reveal.

RGB Sibs + Hugs

The way they hold each other, I can't 😭

*sips chocolate milk in a wine glass*

So in a sense, Wu has been to blame for all of it...

It's us against the world

Some info of this au:

Kai got his scar while taking a punishment meant for Nya by their caregivers at the time.

Their caregivers made Kai dye his hair black which darkened his natural reddish brown hair when he stopped dyeing it

Nya and him are a matching set, because of the way they grow up is easy for them to communicate with just sounds and gestures

Nya insists on having the same haircolor as Kai

There's also a plot point where Kai civilian self is obviously morally gray but it flies over Cole's head because he has a crush

Something similar happens to Jay with Nya

Nya slander makes my heart ache

:( IF I SEE ANOTHER PERSON HATING ON HER I WILL WXPLODE. Its so unnecessary.

Especially if it’s something dumb l”i hate jaya” “i dont like the ways shes written” “shes annoying”

Let me guess. She gets in the way of your ship. She (deservingly) criticizes your favorite character? “Shes annoying” and so many male characters with her traits are never criticized for it? Can you not handle a female character that speaks her mind?

PLEASE! ACCEPT THAT SHE IS IMPORTANT!! She doesnt need to prove herself!!

on a lighter topic. I have just been wondering why there is such little wlw art in the ninjago fandom compared to the rest. Yeah there aren’t so many girls, but people also find the most random and insignificant male characters to ship. Gender bent art of male characters exists and is cool, but if you want yuri cant you draw the canonically female characters?? Are people just bad at characterizing them in their heads? The amount of “ceo/literally/number one fan of cole/kai/zane/lloyd” accounts iv seen across so many platforms and not a single nya one. Claiming a character for only yourself is a bit odd and a whole different story, but in the context of this why is nobody “obsessing” over nya??

Generally, she is only appreciated in the context of a romantic relationship. ( coff coff jaya. btw it makes no sense to hate nya bcs of jaya when jay was the one who wanted them to get together???)

Idk this all just confuses me. Nya slander chips my soul away and i dont trust anyone who hates her and cant justify it.

Let's move on to the second poll!!

Because Lloyd won the first poll, he won't be included in this poll.

:)

So, one of the best ways to watch/rewatch the movie is frame-by-frame (or at least, slow-mo). The movie is actually super pretty, especially the set design. And, in classic lego movie style, all smear frames usually use lego pieces, which makes some very fluid and smooth quick-action.

But when you slow it down, coupled with the fact The LEGO Ninjago Movie is a little... loose with rules-

You get the most hilarious freeze frames and expressions. Which I naturally screenshot-ed to share with all of you today, first because I was bored and it sounded fun, then because I was laughing my head off.

So, below are frames from specifically that promo video (the quality is a little fuzzy which honestly just makes it even funnier)- and one day I’ll start posting some of the screenshots I found from the movie itself, once I actually organize that folder because I keep finding new ones.

Enjoy.

Starting with the green bean himself-

a very >:( boy

Next up, his dad, who just loves to stretch a lego leg much further than it’s supposed to.

Good sir please put your helmet back on-

Sir your leg-

Following Sir-I-Don’t-Care-About-Physics, we’ve got-

Behold. The majestic Water Ninja.

And don’t forget her brother!

‘Why’d my sword melt’

I think this is the angriest we see him in the whole movie, and it’s not even in the movie

Right after, we got m!Zane doing his best! :D 

But that one’s kinda tame, right? WELL- m!Cole’s got you covered, because his little scene includes the distortion effect from the shockwave his hammer makes

Sir, that’s not a hammer, that’s a pickaxe-

Oh dear mother of mayhem what happened-

And then we’re back to spinning-

Side note, the spinning smear frames are actually quite pretty and the effect they make when on normal speed is super cool

And then we have m!Jay, who just-

YEET. But at least he stuck the landing- oh. Oh dear. Buddy, are you alright-

Heyyy bud, I can’t tell what’s your hand and what’s your leg. You’re just a pile of googly gob. But at least you don’t break physics when you spin- no, wait, he does.

Sir, you are a lego, I’m not sure you’re supposed to bend that way.

Aw fiddlesticks, he can’t hear us, he’s having too much fun

Aaaaaand onto Koko! Look at how amazing she looks-

Well, mostly amazing. Add that one to the expressions chart!

But hey, we’re done! Surely there’s not more freeze-frame worthy moments-

Wait, Master Wu, what are you- NO! PUT THAT LEG BACK THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO OR SO HELP ME-

*Sigh* Can’t catch a break, huh. At least his nephew is-

...well, not the worst expression I’ve seen. He’s at least not breaking physics, so he’s-

m!Lloyd Montgomery Smith Garmadon, you are a lego, your leg is not supposed to touch your back, put it back-

m!KAI-

STOP ADDING EXTRA LEG-

FOR THE LOVE OF- okay, okay, we’re calm, we’re almost done, nobody else is gonna do anything crazy, it’s gonna be fi-

Thin ice, m!Nya, thin ice. Bent too far forward over your front leg, but you landed in a sick split, I gotta give you style points. 

Okay. NOW they’re posing for the title card, so nobody’s gonna do anything crazy-

Garmadon, what are you-

NO-

SIR, YOUR LEG- STOP IT WITH THE LEG- GARMALEG ALERT, SOMEBODY STOP THIS MAN

LOOK WHAT HE DID, HE SCARED THE HAIR/HEAD RIGHT OFF OF m!COLE!

Seriously, these legos...

But now we’re done for real (until I eventually make a movie screenshot post)

I hope you enjoyed these priceless screenshot freeze-frames as much as I did.

Lego Ninjago Movie New, Secret Promo Video. 

Boi, if only the Movie would have been this cool.

RGB SIBLINGS FOR THE WIN, VOTE NYA AND LLOYD THEY'RE FOUND FAMILY SIBLINGS

Round 1

Drew Cyan (movie!Nya) from the Dorksquad Forced to be Evil AU!

In this AU, all the members of the Dorksquad (who have not met each other yet) are forced to be evil and work for various villain groups.

Cyan was kidnapped by a Merlopian cult that worships Wojira and forced to be their high priestess lest they use Red (m!Kai) instead. She gets to visit her twin occasionally and plans for the day they can both escape unharmed

And yes, the Maya parallels in the outfit/hairstyle were intentional, Maya and Ray were involved in the Wojira Cult and the Fire Snakes before and tried to keep them away from their kids (this failed)

Kai

Bonus Smith Twins parallels under the cut

Ninjago Magazine Comics Translated Issue 85 - The Sea Monster

Hey everyone! If you didn't know, Blue Ocean has a variety of non-canon Ninjago comics (minus one canon comic ft. the story of Lilly) in magazines. They're fun extra stories that happen between scenes or episodes of the show; but some of my favourites, like the one below, are between seasons. This one is Post Seabound. You can sometimes find these magazines in English, but they tend to be pretty rare depending on the area. They are, however, very popular in Europe, especially Germany, which is where I got my collection. As I'm bilingual in German, I've translated the comic below, trying to keep it as direct as possible while still making sense in English. Let me know if y'all enjoy it and if there's any issues in particular you want to see translated (I don't have every issue, but I have a fair bit from newer seasons and a few of older seasons).

The list of other translated comics (if I ever translate more) will be found here
