reblog the money pigeon for a financially stable future

This is a ninjago AU I’ve been working on for months, and I finally finished designing the main cast! It’s named the cyberpunk Ninjago AU because of its cyberpunk themes and aesthetics (not in any relation to the cyberpunk games.) The ninja and a few other side characters from canon Ninjago live in a cyberpunk city named Ninjaglow (yes, pun, funny haha) where there are three main industries;

The Ring Fighters, an industry where different skilled fighters clash for rewards and fame.

Consists of Akita, Kai, Cole and Skylor (also technically Harumi and Zane, but I’ll get into that later.)

The Party Animals, are people in the party industry. They mostly consist of DJ’s and musicians, but anyone can party at the club.

Consists of Lloyd, Harumi and Morro.

The Car Racers, are.. you guessed it, part of the racing industry! In this industry skilled drivers race for rewards and fame.

Consists of Jay, Nya, Pixal and Zane.

So that’s the gist of it, but of course there’s a lot more that needs to be said about this AU, so I created a relationship chart! (Hopefully it’s not so messy that it is illegible)

Please refrain from shipping anyone in this AU unless they are explicitly lovers or have the ambiguous tag!

Now for individual ref sheets with some information about the characters!

I hope you find this AU interesting, as I plan to release more content about it when I have time! Maybe I’ll even open a Q&A for this AU one day if people are interested :]

Lumity and Conflict

            We’ve all talked about Lumity being a really healthy relationship, a refreshingly healthy one at that, but we should also appreciate how the writers manage to have this AND portray conflict in a way that isn’t contrived, too.

         Take for example, Follies at the Coven Day Parade. It’d be SO easy to have the conflict come from Amity going ahead with checking Luz’s videos, and then have her and Luz argue over the breach of privacy, like in a lot of media. But instead, Amity KNOWS it’s wrong, but at the same time she can tell Luz has a problem and a tendency to keep it secret, which forces loved ones to call her out until Luz finally confesses and asks for help!

         So Amity’s conflict is whether or not she SHOULD go through Luz’s phone, and it resolves in a healthy manner because she goes to Willow for advice. That of course continues the plot thread of these two attempting to reconnect after their sorta reconciliation in Willow’s mindscape, and sets up the eventual confrontation between the two in Labyrinth Runners, regarding Amity still continuing to underestimate and condescend Willow, even if from a place of good intent.

         And that’s so much more interesting than Luz and Amity drama for the sake of drama, because now we get to throw in Willow and Amity’s dynamic and check up on how it’s developed, set up how it WILL develop, all while having Amity manage to do the right thing, but with some meaningful struggle and discussion, sympathetic and nuanced given her legitimate concern for Luz (rather than insecure snooping for the sake of it) and her issues of bottling up, on her way to do that!

Dissonant Melody: Part #4

Tension in the air so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Sorry for the long post and the rough, off-model sketches. But post-apocalyptic ROTTMNT has its talons deep in my heart and I have to get it off my chest. There will be more. And it will be painful. I apologize in advance. Also FYI: this is is when they’re in their early 30’s.

ALSO! I’m planning on posting Part #8 on Aug. 8th! It’s going to be a….somewhat unconventional update. Definitely not the standard 4 pages haha. I don’t want to say too much, but hey, y'all only need to wait 2 days to find out what it is!
