The Lego Ninjago Movie - Blog Posts

lego Ninjago movie meets show would be funny if it's during dragons rising and show Lloyd is just trying to find his kids in all of the caos of whatever is happening. Adittionally the exstistential crisis you could give each version of the characters would be funny

EVERYONE!

Guess who’s finished their first multi-chapter fic!!

ME THATS WHO!!

If you want to check it out here’s the link:

I know this is (probably) a really unpopular opinion, but…

I really liked the ninjago movie.

Even tho they kinda messed up the characters and such, it wasn’t actually that bad.

I had even enjoyed a lot of the personalities that was given to the Movie!verse.

One of my favorite things to do is to combine Movie and Show personalities together. They (usually) fit really nicely.

Tell me what you guys think fellow Ninjago fans.

Long ago, when the First Spintizju Master created Ninjago, very powerful people were born. With powers over the elements. They were known as Elemental Masters. However, they were dangerous. And the public feared their power. So they locked up every elemental master, young and old. To study them.

But a great evil is arising, one which cannot be stopped by armies. One which will need elemental powers to stop. And those elemental masters have grown a hatred for the world... How can Jay convince these elemental masters to help?

I’ve realized I’ve never put this on my tumblr, so uhh. Yeah! THIS IS AN AU INSPIRED FIC! sooo, the au ideas goes to the original owner. (Which I talk more about in the first ch) Also, I am looking for ninjago Ocs to have in this, if anyone wants to have their ocs. They can be elemental masters, guards or just some random person who shouts the most random of things in the background.

^ Chapter 4 talks about this more, but here’s what I need. You can comment, send it to me via inbox, or reblog this post. You can send a picture (if you have one) or at least a basic description , their element (If they have one. Also send abilities and powers that character can use if you have an idea.), I also will need their personality, favorite color. One last thing I need is if they are a guard, imprisoned elemental master, part of the resistance, civilian or if you want me to decide. Every Oc help (There is absolutely no limit to the amount of Ocs you send or allow me to use) I will do my best for everyone who sends an oc!

Thanks to everyone who sends in Ocs (I will credit you also in the notes of the ch they appear in)

One of my favourite things about Lloyd Garmadon is that the name 'Lloyd' comes from the Welsh name/word 'Llwyd,' meaning grey- which perfectly coincides with Lloyd being a sort of grey area between oni and dragon*

Another thing that makes me laugh is that in TLNM both Lloyd and Lord Garmadon are technically wrong about the pronunciation of the 'LL' in Lloyd's name. 'LL' is a single letter in Welsh, and is pronounced as sort of an aerated 'L' sound (idk how to describe it)

Of course that sound doesn't exist in English, and Lloyd /is/ the anglicised version of Llwyd, but I'd absolutely love to tell Lloyd he's pronouncing his name wrong. It would be the first thing I'd say to him after I got over the shock of actually meeting him.

Okokok

The Lego Ninjago movie, but instead of everyone immediately dropping their hatred of Lloyd when they find out he's the green ninja, they instead come to hate the green ninja, and accuse him and the others of teaming up with Garmadon to prolong his attempted takeovers and therefore increase overall destruction over time to make it even easier for him to conquer Ninjago in the long run

The whole 'people see a monster' speech likely completely ignored

And so Lloyd is back to square one, but now he hasn't got his beloved secret identity to hide behind anymore

I mean these people despised him for absolutely no reason other than his last name, to the point that a song about him being bad became a number one hit even though most people didn't even know him, and they always blame him for damages etc instead of the person actually doing the damage - Lord Garmadon himself

They completely overlooked the fact that they'd all be dead/imprisoned if Lloyd was actually evil and allied with his dad

It's not a stretch to believe that majority of Ninjago wouldn't give a damn if he was the green ninja, because it's still Lloyd Garmadon, who they've hated for 16 years, far more and far longer than they've loved the green ninja. I think it's reasonable to assume most of them wouldn't readily drop their hatred and bullying because of a speech. They wouldn't want to admit they've spent their whole lives believing something that's completely wrong, so they'd likely find ways to twist it, as many people do these days when faced with evidence that disproves their ideas

Idk if that makes sense, but like- I think it would be a rather interesting idea to explore (might be writing a fic about it at some point lmao)

Lloyd relaxing inside during a soft autumn evening rainstorm

Next im gonna explain where he got his scars, it's gonna be a little graphic, so don't read past here if you're sensitive to that

His scars are the mixed result of bullying and fighting his dad- the 'oy' his right hand is bc of someone carving 'garmaboy' into his forearm with a rusty knife, and the facial scar is from someone throwing a broken glass bottle at him in the street. The one on his left hand is bc he fucked up his wrist in a fight and opened up a huge gash. He probably just failed miserably to throw a sword at garmadon's mech to disable it, and ended up with it in his wrist.

Luh-Loyd doodles bc why not

Plus Nya bc their friendship dynamic is so good and I love it so much

Also the neon hoodie is bc I just wanted to and also bc uh- I have a hc that he gained a lot confidence in himself once he wasn't hated by everyone, and to reflect that he began to wear neon green. Also then he can use his old hoodie as a comfort thing to hide from people in bc they go nuts whenever he's around. They learn to recognise neon green so ignore the darker green.

These are all good points for why you should vote Lloyd but I feel it will be amiss if we do not discuss Antigone a lil bit!

Here's a quick summary of Antigone for those of you who aren't familiar (of there are any inaccuracies pls let me know):

She's the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, so this take place right after that one (which I'm sure all of you are familiar with)

Her brother's agree to share the throne by swapping each year. Brother One decides that he isn't gonna give up the throne. Brother Two starts a civil war. They kill each other in a duel (as cursed by Oedipus to do) and Antigone's Uncle is now king.

Uncle gives B1 a nice respectful burial. He drags B2's corpse out of the city and declares that anyone who tries to bury him will be killed. (This is generally considered a Dick Move)

Antigone throws some dirt on B2. Her sister snitches on her. Uncle pulls her aside and says he'll cover for her this time but not to do it again.

Antigone does it again. In broad daylight. The hairs being her in before anyone else sees. Uncle says the same thing but he Really Means It This Time. Antigone says she will die on this hill. Uncle says aight, bet. Antigone calls him a pussy.

Antigone does it again. Uncle puts her in prison and sentences her to death.

Antigone is immured. (Buried alive, they put her in a stone box and walled up the exit)

The gods refuse to answer any prayers. A seer says it's because of the whole Antigone situation. Uncle tries to fix it by burying B2 and freeing Antigone.

Antigone is found to have hanged herself

90% of the characters then all kill themselves in an epic game of grief dominoes. Uncle is left to rule depressed and alone.

As we can see Antigone had many chances to Not Die but didn't take them because of her Fatal Flaws: Pride, Stubbornness and Loyalty.

While Antigone is Doomed, it is she who knowingly Doomed herself.

Lloyd is Doomed by a prophecy outside of his control. Everyone else's actions to delay the prophecy result in it happening sooner. As is the norm. Lloyd takes no actions to hasten, slow or avoid the prophecy because he's, like, eight. Besides asking his dad to please not destroy the world, of course (His dad is unable to do this as he is losing to the curse).

Lloyd never has a choice in the matter at any stage. He has to sacrifice these things each time and get up and keep going, even when he dies.

Lloyd's Fatal Flaws are: Loyalty, Selflessness and Stubbornness

I recognize that there can be debate over how to define tragedy, like Greek tragedies hardly all followed Aristotle's definition and those were in turn different from things like Shakespearean tragedy or modern definitions of "tragic character" but I think at the very least a tragic character should have a coherent arc, quality over quantity. A bunch of UNRELATED bad things happening to a character just because a show has gone on for a really long time isn't really telling a coherent tragic story. Especially when some of the bad things happening are literally repeats of each other. Like I haven't watched Ninjago but I keep hearing about how Lloyd had to kill his father 3 times, but I think reusing a "he has to kill his father" plot point over and over again while not having him die for real just to give each season a new plot is a lot less tragic than a more coherent narrative where someone just has to kill their father once and this ties into their overall character arc.

Very valid opinion

Dr Julien: that's a nice looking son you have there

Koko:

Dr Julien: would be a shame if someone were to,,, adopt him

Koko: Julian, we need to talk about your adoption problem.

Dr. Julien, with his six kids, two he built, one he semi-legally adopted/saved from a mafia, and three he saved from his bitter ex-coworker: What problem?

Whint: He doesn’t have a problem. These are our kids.

Koko: But you can’t adopt every sad kid you see-

Dr. Julien: Watch me.

Chen on his Hannah Montana arc

I’m on a Chen streak- time for mid musician alter ego: Citrine Snake!

He uses this identity as a form of escapism from his family life. He’s most known for his song “Poprocks”, as well as several collaborations with the Black Ninja.

Cut The Act

Wordcount: 1900 Ship: Gen A/N: This is a fic set in the movie!Verse :] I wrote this ages ago, after i first watched the movie, and only recently cleaned it up enough to feel comfortable posting lol. This takes place a few years after the movie, and Zane has grown a lot during that time so he's a bit uhh OOC, sorry lol Warnings: Mentions of an off-screen injury that's already healed.

Summary: After Zane get a bad scrape in a fight, he decides to acknowledge the elephant in the room and come clean about his nindroid nature. It'll be anxiety free- All of his friends have connected the dots and figured it out by now anyway... Right?

In his defense, he was pretty sure they already knew.

It’s not as if he thought he was dropping some huge life changing bombshell on them, because they had been dropping pretty un-subtle hints that hey! We know you’re a robot, and we love and support you anyway! Which is why, when he walks into the hangar on that Saturday afternoon, he didn’t think to like, brace them or anything. It just that he wanted to share this part of himself with them more intimately, and also in one of their last fights he’d been damaged- he’d walked it off, fine enough to make it home so Father could see to it, but now he couldn’t quite stop thinking about what would happen if something were to go really wrong, and he needed emergency maintenance on the field.

Of course he trusted Jay and Nya more than anything, and would gladly lay his life in their hands if it came down to it- they were nearly as capable as his father, and should honestly meet him, but that's a story for another day. The duo had worked together to build their mechs, and if anyone could put his intricate wiring back together in a worse-case-scenario type of event, it would be them. So really, this was all very practical, and the obviously logical choice, made totally easier by the fact that he honestly thought they already knew.

So the reason he was at least 95 percent sure they’d caught on was that, during the early years when he was still learning, he was very much not so great at blending in. Turns out, being a normal teen did not involve dropping the words ‘normal teen’ into every other sentence, or casually downloading yourself into most electronics, or perfectly vocalized dial tones. With upgrades and time, he’d picked up on some of the intricacies of human emotion and nowadays people would rarely look at him twice (This isn't exactly true- even as much as he'd grown and learned, he's pretty sure he'll always be on a different page than everyone else, but that stopped bothering him a long time ago. He was weird, and his friends liked him that way.) if not for his friendship with Lloyd Garmadon and his status as the white ninja, he would totally blend in. To people who knew him from the start, though, there was definitely a clear… learning curve, so to speak.

When Father had been repairing him after that particular fight and Zane had brought up the idea, Dr. Julien had been all for it.

“Being honest with your friends is good,” His father had said, pulling back his goggles to smile kindly at Zane, “If you trust them, you should tell them.”

Though his father had probably not intended for Zane to make a very forbidden copy of his own blueprints to give to his friends, but what dad doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

And, well, it’s not like they ever acted like they hadn’t caught on. Most other kids in their grade would look at him like he’d grown a second head, voice turning stilted and judgemental whenever he let slip his more mechanical aspects- but never his friends. They accepted it, and loved him anyways.

For example, last year during English class after a particularly comprehensive personal software update, Zane had sighed. As in, for real, actually sighed, instead of just saying the word out loud. Cole, who had English with Zane each year, had smiled at him with this playful sort of look and said, “Hey, your voice modulator got an update!” And he’d winked as if in on a joke, “Sounds good on you!”

As endearing as it was after the fact, that Cole not only noticed but complimented his fathers work, in the moment he’d felt his processor drop into his feet, sensors flooding with adrenaline. They’d never outright stated they knew like that, and it’d never been so obvious. Sure, sometimes they asked him to run statistics or look up something really specific, but never before had they directly referenced his voice modulator or anything of the type.

He’d ducked his head, anxiety and nerves ramping up, hesitating for a fraction of a second before what Cole had said sunk in. Sounds good on you. He brightens a little at the support, “Thank you,” He says honestly, smiling, “Father installed it over the weekend.” he offers timidly, still dancing around fully admitting he’s a robot, though coming closer than he ever figured he would.

Things like this happened more and more frequently over the years, where they would super obviously hint they had connected the dots. It would be something everybody knows but no one acknowledges sort of situation. He was comfortable with that.

Until he very much wasn’t.

So here he was, one saturday afternoon, very seriously walking into his friends hang-out session with a fancy document tube containing xeroxed copies of his own blueprints, all ready to lay out his innermost mechanisms to his friends in the ultimate show of trust, and to finally acknowledge the elephant in the room. Plus, over time, it started feeling weird and wrong to keep such a serious secret from them. He wanted to be completely open and honest… And now he was finally ready to make that leap.

“My friends.” he announces, stepping in front of the old TV Kai and Nya had brought in sometime sophomore year so they could play video games and watch movies together, “I have something serious to discuss.”

“Wait- I’m almost done with this lap!” Jay stretches his neck to try and see around Zane, mashing blindly at the buttons on his controller.

Nya reaches over and smacks him playfully on the back of the head, “He said this was serious, Jay. Just pause it.” He blinks a little and nods bashfully, tossing the controller aside.

“So whats up?” Lloyd prods, as the rest of his friends all sit up a little straighter to offer their attention, Cole going so far as to take his headphones off his neck completely.

Zane feels a surge of nerves rush through his head and he fiddles with the cap of the document tube for a moment to gather his courage, “My friends, as I believe you already know… I am an android.” he says the last part without pause, pushing through it so he doesn’t stumble or second guess himself.

All of them, who had been getting increasingly tense as Zane stood there, seemed to exhale collectively, “Is that all? You had me scared there for a second!” Kai jokes.

Cole smiles, “Yeah man, we know about the robot thing. It doesn’t change anything.” he picks up on Zane's anxiety, smiling reassuringly at him.

Feeling emboldened by their response, Zane finally twists the cap off of the document tube, “You have no idea how much this means to me. I feel it is important, now that our fights are getting more dangerous, that I give you all these.” He clears a spot of the coffee table before dumping out the papers across its surface, kneeling down to smooth out the stack and organize them, “My blueprints.”

He glances up and sees them all smile easily at him, Jay and Nya leaning forward curiously, “You have to keep these a secret. My Father built me, these are his notes, and he doesn’t know I took my own copies.” he notes his friends expression pinch, like they don’t quite compute what he’s saying, and he assumes they must not like that he took these without permission, “It’s the logical course of action to share these with you all, in the event that I am damaged and need emergency repair, you will be unable to help without studying my build.”

He spreads the pictures out, sliding a few closer to his friends so they can look themselves, and Nya carefully picks up a page. She laughs awkwardly, analyzing the information in front of her with wide eyes, “These are… awfully detailed, Zane.”

“Yeah, I mean, how long did these take to make?” Jay peeks over Nya's shoulder, the others looking at the different pages themselves with wide eyes, “These mechanics look actually legit!”

“My father has been working on my mechanics for his entire life.” Frowning, Zane looks back down at the papers, “Of course they are legitimate, they’re mine. Here, look-” He strips his sweater vest off, folding it and setting it aside and starting in on unbuttoning his shirt.

“Woah!” Lloyd holds up his hands to shield Zane, “Lets keep your clothes on, Zane!”

Zane’s confused, his button up pooling in his lap, leaving him kneeling on the floor in only his shoes, khakis, and undershirt, “My construction is completely unique to anything in Ninjago, I do not mind showing you.”

Cole tilts his head, the crease between his brows growing more pronounced, “You’re… not making this up, are you?”

“Making this up?” His frown deepens.

“You mean you’re actually…” Kai trails off, eyes widening.

“But… a fully recognized AI is years off…”

“I already told you I am like nothing in Ninjago.” Zane explains, “You thought I was… lying?” The word rankles, and he feels his emotions plummet.

“Not lying!” Lloyd is looking at Zane like he’s seeing him for the first time, “We just thought you were… playing. Y’know, like, pretend.” He finishes with a wince.

Zane lets that process before a laugh bubbles up out of his chest, and he covers his mouth to stifle it, looking back at all his memories with a new filter. All the playful smirks, the joking comments! They must have thought he was so strange- and still, they had embraced him and even joined in! “I do not mean to laugh, just- thank you. For playing along, I suppose.”

The smile fades as the reality sinks in, he has no idea how they’ll truly react to his robotic nature, “But… I am telling the truth. I am an android, my father built me to protect those who cannot protect themselves.” At this, he tugs his undershirt off over his head, revealing the seam where his synthetic skin stops, metal casing continuing and taking up most of the expanse of his chest. He slides his hand along the panel embedded where his ribs would be, popping open his front compartment and revealing neatly routed wires and the glow of his power source, “This is not pretend. I hope you can still see me as your friend.”

He looks up earnestly, hoping their playful enthusiasm from before will come back, and each of his friends have varying reactions. Nya and Jay look intensely curious, Cole looks calm as usual, and kai and Lloyd…

“I support you one hundred percent, bro,” Kai points out before Zane can assume the worst as he cringes away from the imagery, “But from a strictly human perspective, I am looking at your guts, and that’s a little…”

“Morbid.” Lloyd agrees, looking bashfully green around the gills.

“This is so totally cool!” Jay announces, grinning, “You’re like a- a nindroid!”

“A what?”

“Ninja Android. Nindroid.” Jay explains before he calms down, smiling sincerely at Zane, “This doesn’t change anything. You’re still one of my best friends.”

“Same for me.” Nya nods, “We support you through thick and thin!”

“We’re your family.” Cole confirms, “Nothing could change that. You’re still our Zane, just more… gears.”

Zane closes the panel, smiling brightly, and Kai perks up, “No matter what you’re made of, you’re still our brother.”

“Thank you all.” He says sincerely, feeling lighter.

“Yeah!” Jay grins, “Yeah, and how cool is it that I can honestly say "My brother is a Nindroid?"”

My movie au when they became friends

// kai was in an orphanage, Leave him with little savings //

Someone mentioned Koko and I couldn’t believe I’d never thought to add her.  My grave error has been fixed

I did it in a hurry. Reminiscent of the redrawing of the meme Invincible. It's not a meme, though...

How I wish Lloyd would take an example from Alucard or Trefor from the game of "Castlevania: Lords of shadow 2".

The dialogue itself and the example of the plan may not seem the smartest, but the fact of what lies with Gabriel. That is, the one who is able to execute the plan into action.

I always wanted to make Lloyd more pragmatic. That is, it is necessary to defeat evil and there are no opportunities at home. Make a smart deal. Everyone will get that wants. Conveniently.

Actually watch this scene.

For me personally. All the cut scenes in this game are just lovely.

Finally I see the darkness in Carmadon! It's the same horror as Trigon. Clothes, swords, symbols are all right! It's so beautiful! ! Without humor and jokes child. It's time to drag me to risk new art.

It's a shame Trigon was removed so quickly in the series, but I'm happy to see him in a moment.

Another Garmadon on black paper

I love the fact that the lego ninjago movie is basically just a highschool au

Zane: Kai, you're on fire

Kai: I know. I'm extremely hot today *wink*

Lloyd: No Kai! Your HEAD is on FIRE-!

Gee Garmadon and Koko, how come your mom lets you have two La-loyds?

Modifying figures is fun.  These are all ‘prototypes’, though, I’ve gotta fix things here and there but the idea’s working so have a preview.

Cole is now a single father of three and they’re all the same child.

Made a baby La-loyd figure (and then had a family photo shoot).  This one’s a ‘prototype’ of sorts.  His head and body structure are made from perler beads, his face is the same one I drew for my plush, and the cloth is just cloth.

Fun fact: perler beads are a perfect fit for lego headgear.
