"hi..." *I lean against a wall, only to fall and slam my face against brick, losing 100 aura points*

β™‘ Intro post! β™‘

Hi guys it's nice to meet you!

🧊ICE BREAKER🧊 I'm elowen (you can also call me spidey) I use she/they pronouns. I love pandas, studio ghibli films (for the art) and a short term goal I have is to go to a beach or just a fun ocean type area.

Description of blog- This blog is primarily gonna be about a ninjago movie fanfic I'm planning on writing, but it might delve into other au fic ideas i have for the show.

β—β˜†β— Since I started writing this fic I noticed that I needed help on some plot points and characterization so I made this blog to share facts about my fic and mabye ask for opinions on my ideas in the form of polls. I Don't know how common a blog like this is- ( help me with my fanfic blogs) but here I am! I haven't gotten a name or a description for my fic just yet but I will add them as I go.

IMNV = In my ninjago verse

What to expect-

β™‘ Headcannons/facts about my au verse of the ninja.

β™‘ Memes about my fic.

β™‘ Long yaps about things in the ninjago movie verse.

β™‘ Random blurbs about different scenes I have written both for fun or possibly for the fic

β˜† About asks: I would love to answer asks about my fic and would be very happy to talk about the characters! You can make requests if you would like me to talk about a specific character and my version of them since I need to work on characterization for them.

Please be nice and don't insult my ideas, there's always a nice way to give criticism or suggestions.

Additional info

Please let me know if anything in my work is offensive or out of place. I want this to be a fun and open blog and would definitely want to know if my posts are causing harm or upset of any kind. My style of joking isn't the best and is kinda odd to be honest, I also use a lot of brain rot terms no lie. So take all my posts with a grain of salt especially if it's a slander post.

So I was doing a redraw of a lloyd photo from DR in my style but I was struggling with pose work for it. I didn't want to keep going until I managed to fix what's wrong with it but I can't tell what's off so I was wondering if anyone (artist and non artist alike) could help with it?

The original:

My redraw:

Please be nice I'm a beginner with anatomy and I've only done it a couple of times. Trying to draw a an anatomy piece with a lego character as someone who's new to it is really tricky but I've seen people do ninjago redraws all the time so tips on. How to interpret ninjago poses would be really helpful too!

Im suprised garmadon fans don't hate movie garmadon. Now I'm sure there are people who hate him but from what I've seen it's primarily just people who think he's funny or just brings a lot of the best highlights of the film to the screen.

I dont want to slander him but to be honest he goes directly against everything garmadon believes in that is crucial to his well written character.

One of the things that made him so compelling was the fact that he loved his son so much he was activley going against destiny and the evil in his veins just to be with him. Of course you can't run from destiny forever but the fact he was portrayed as the main villian that still had love for his child and It was one of the things keeping him pushing set him apart from characters like Chen who didn't care about anything other then himself.

But in the movie garmadon seemingly didn't interact with lloyd just cause he didn't want too. Their was no destiny or conflict that could have forced them apart but he still chose to be separate from him. The theirs the fact he's imature, not really intimidating and never showed care for lloyd (mocking him, not remembering how old he was or his birthday ect) which feels very out of place for a character like garmadon.

Idk mabye I'm getting something wrong but that's just my take on it

A random fact about each ninja in my movie Au

β™‘Kai- used to play hockey but quit after his freshman year because "it wasn't his style" now he's on the baseball team.

β™‘Nya- doesn't know how to drive a car. Only knows how to drive a motorcycle cause she swears it's the only thing she'll drive that isn't her mech.

β™‘Lloyd- loves naps. Will take a nap after school routinely and if the ninja are driving cars for a mission instead of using mechs he'll fall asleep on their way back to their base. He once made a teir list on what the best places to nap in city were and kokos bed was at #1

β™‘Jay- makes bird houses that he donates to a retirement home since he knows that the senior citizens their like them. Their all hung up on the walls but nobody knows who's leaving them on the doorstep.

β™‘Zane- has the most amount of money in the group but doesn't spend it on much outside of culinary equipment and things echo wants. So his bank account is stacked when holidays and birthdays roll around.

β™‘Cole- gets into detention a lot and always brings snacks with him when he goes. He somehow never gets caught even though half the time he ends up sharing his food with whoever is in detention with him.

I just woke up from a nap and had a dream about Cole's mom. That makes me think., ΒΏWhat is she like in your au?

β™‘Cole, Lilly & Louβ™‘

OK so I know you specifically asked for Lilly but I do want to talk a little about cole and Lou cause it is connected to her. Especially how lou and Lilly have clashing thoughts and views on how cole should be raised.

So an interesting point to coles character was brought to mind when I was thinking about how movie lloyd would interact with each member of the ninja team. When I was thinking about his bond with Cole I remembered that one of coles biggest "moral compass moments" was his conversation with Lilly and how he used to get into fights with bullies at school. (Lloyd has a lot of bullies, I felt like at least one of the ninja would be protective over him for it and it works best with cole)

Of course this is stuff about him in the show but given that I didn't have much to go off of with movie cole and their would probably be fundamental core aspects about ninja that should remain the same even if their completely different characters I decide to include it.

In your Ninjago movie au, I’m really curious about Jaya if Jay and Blue are like different people.

β™‘JAYAβ™‘

OK so with jaya- yeah jay is 2 different people in a sense. Movie jay is very shy and seems pretty nervous in most scenes we see of him in the movie. I thought this was a really interesting divergence to his character that i wanted to explore a little more and as I was thinking about it I realized I could give him his show counterparts personality as well.

I established that the reason he is so shy was because he used to be bullied when he was younger which led to him having self esteem issues as well as social anxiety.

The reason he got bullied was because of his identity - his family and homelife being something he was both known and teased for in his old school. I realized that if he was a ninja, he had a mask, nobody knew who he was and he could just show himself off without that worry of getting bullied for it then he would be a lot more confident.

He already seems to hide himself a lot- bangs that cover the top half of his face (something that they added in his new design that's very different then his og hair) and a scarf that covers the bottom of his face which reminded me of that episode where him and nya went on a date but he was slowly turning into a snake so he used a scarf to cover up cause he wanted to look his best infront of her. So having a full on mask would make that constant effort to hide himself less of a stressor.

It's not included in your post, but I'm curious... Does Skalyor appear? I think nothing says high school au (as a movie) more than having a secret "evil" partner that one of the main characters likes 🀣

Identity mischief :D And Chen is as dramatic as a cartoon villain

ElI'm sorry if I overstepped any boundaries or preferences with my question.

Ohhh fun ask!!

Unfortunately I do not have many ideas for her and I'm not sure if I will include her or not. I do really like her character and Chen could be a really interesting villian depending on how I end up world building my au. I'll start thinking about her more now that you've asked about it and I'll @ you if I come up with any ideas! Also no need to be sorry! I'm happy with all asks and don't have a "preference" for much. Thank you so much for the request!! <3

But since you said "secret evil partner"....

(SPOILERS FOR SPIDERMAN HOMECOMING UNDER CUT)

Can someone please ask me questions about my ninjago movie au? I'm working really hard on world building and developing the characters and would like to talk about it!

I can chat about my ideas for-

β˜†Lloyd

β˜†Kai

β˜†Jay

β˜†Cole

β˜†Zane

β˜†Nya

β˜†Wu

β˜†Echo

β˜†Koko

As well as ideas I have about their relationships to eachother (lloyd and any of these characters, jaya, zane and echo, or just random pair ups!)

Movie garmadon is one if those characters where it's like- I'm amused by him. He's fun and I do think that objectively he makes the film better. But the second I think about his character seriously I remember that I'm a resident of frown town.

Like he's so mean to lloyd?? Like the way he publicly embarrasses him, invalidating his feelings and problems by making it a punchline to a joke infront of his goons, random city people and even the ninja (Aka his ex freinds) would be so hurtful to this teenager.

He mistreated him on Lloyd's birthday!! I can't let that slide.

not just saying this cuz i'm an invincible fan but a movieverse ninjago invincible au where lloyd is mark and garmadon is omni-man would go sooo unbelievably hard

Avatar

OMG OMG OMG OMG-!

THIS!!!

I literally daydream about mark and omni-man scenes and replacing them with lloyd and garm. Like that whole scene where ❗️SPOILER❗️omni man is talking about their vilturmite bloodline is how I picture movie garm talking about their oni and dragon bloodline and how lloyd will live longer than everyone he loves would be. Like its not really in character but it's kinda in character with my version if them.

Were so bonded now actually-
