Some Ronin History (According To The Ninjago Wiki)

Hear me out: Tortuga is the crew's pet turtle in the wolfwalker au. whether its magic or not is up to you :)

*SLAMS FIST ON THE TABLE* YOU'RE HIRED. IT'S CANNON NOW. Tortuga is a magic turtle but a silly magic turtle she will take you wherever you ask her to go. Take me to my missing sock? Bam she found it. Only problem is she's a turtle. So shes slow. So as she walks to where you wanna go you have to follow.

Little Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki following big bird fae Jimmy around like little chicks. (Chris is just there because Martin is there. He refuses to participate otherwise.)

Like he's chill and disguises as a kid but I love imagining him getting pissed after they get hurt and he's like "How DARE you hurt MY humans!" and gets all big and monsterous.

and then the culprit mysteriously disappears while the kids get treats.

They get lost in the woods and he's just like "alright little chickadees this way!" And just hops along the path as birds do and they happily follow they get close to a village and someone shoots at him and suddenly a tree falls on them! How mysterious. He buys them cake afterwards.

"I'm not their step dad but I'm the dad who stepped up." -Fae Jimmy, probably

Any man can be a mom it takes a real man to be mother.

Just imagining fae Jimmy in a little nest with the whole crew when they were little toddlers and he's just looking at them all with such adoration. He's just cooing and preening them. And if anyone asks them who their parents were they're just like "birb :D"

When he was "younger" (by the villages terms) he was more free with his bird form. Koki was adorable she'd accidentally pull a feather sometimes look at it in horror and then go "sorry sorry I'm so sorry!!" While trying to put it back. Jimmy would just laugh and hug his precious chickadee. They're all his chickadees.

He did stop using his true form after about a year, hence Aviva and Martin not knowing, since he didn't wanna risk himself getting in trouble and/or the orphans getting in trouble and being accused of being witches or something. Which if that happened he would in less than a heartbeat take them home with him but he'd prefer not to since he knows some of them wouldn't want to be there and doing that could be VERY dangerous to them and himself especially since he wouldn't have taken the time to ask each of them if they wanted to come.

Bonus: Occasionally he'd play with baby Chris when they crossed paths in the woods and Chris made it his goal to scare him whenever he saw him (lovingly)

Someone about the wolfwalker kids: "But you aren't their parent"

Fae Jimmy: *offended squawking while turning them into a gerbil*

Jimmy: *sweetest most sincere voice ever* Really?? Do you know where their actual parents are? That would be very useful since they've all been orphans for years. No? Can't you call them? Oh right they're dead or deadbeats. They're mine now. C'mon chickadees! *walks away with his tiny army while they turn into a tree*

My edit:

Hear me out: Green tree frog Chris and Zaire dwarf clawed frog for Martin (They look blue to me and are almost entirely aquatic!)

Kratt Brothers if they were Frogs in Amphibia

I have been hyperfixating on this crossover for DAYS NOW. Like imagining what if they were in episodes in Season 2 and 3.

Frog!bros are field researchers working for Newtopia. They have a lil research station (maybe somewhere on outskirts of Frog Valley) but travel regularly among the continent. They do the same thing the Kratts in the cartoon do, study creatures by getting up close and personal to discover their creature power- what makes them special and valuable to Amphibia’s ecosystems. Even the most dangerous, feared creatures, which the brothers are determined to show other amphibians why these creatures should be appreciated more.

On top of that, they do population surveys, discover new findings, behaviours and relationships between animals, and write up reports that are sent back to Newtopia.

They have significantly less of the cool tech they do in the show due to no Aviva (no creature powersuits), but have developed decent inventing skills themselves (better than the ones canonically do in the show, no where near Aviva-level) and are exceptional adventurers in general.

I imagine the first human the Frog bros would’ve met is Marcy and would’ve got along SUPER WELL WITH HER. Maybe Marcy was sent to deliver some equipment to the brother’s research station. Then they would’ve met Anne and maybe even Sasha through Marcy later on. Though preferably in two seperate episodes

These are just the colours I have available now, but I would adjust the colours to be a lil less saturated and lighter if I did this digitally. Also, I’d probably give them different clothing too more in style with Amphibia, instead of just using their outfits from the show.

THEY'RE NEURODIVERGENT YOUR HONOR AND SO AM I

The Kratt brothaaaaasss

If you can avoid spoiling too much by explaining, how did each of the crew become orphans?

Don't worry no spoilers here!

Chris's dad was just never in the picture but his mom is alive!

Martin was abandoned as a baby.

Koki's mother was a doctor and her dad was a blacksmith and they both caught some sort of mystery disease that they died from when she was 3-4

Aviva's parents were sailors but their ship was hit by a massive storm of which she was the only survivor as a baby and she washed up on shore in her little basket and was brought to the village.

Jimmy's a fae. They can be born but sometimes they do just kinda sprout out of the ground. Jimmy's a ground case. He popped out of the ground and a random fae scooped him up. He doesn't have a single set of parents since for his situation everyone parents the child so he'll call any familiar fae his auntie, uncle, or cousin.

I feel like if Martin saw Jimmy's true form he wouldn't freak out. well maybe a little. but he'd just immediately try to figure out what bird he is and probably just freak out because his friend is a cool fae!

And Jimmy is just there like: ...Well, at least there's one pure human in this world.

Yeah pretty much. When he showed Koki she was like "Cool anygays have you seen Aviva lately-"
