My Favorite Way To Start A Conversation Is By Saying Something Out Of Context.

This explains why I enjoy Arin pretty well.

Arin is like my favorite wannabe anime protagonist ever, and I have so many reasons for that- Like I mentioned, Arin shares a lot of similarities with Kai- but here's the thing about that, his humble roots put a twist on his character we haven't seen before. He grew up like an average middle class kid in the suburbs of Ninjago city, and was humbled even further when the merge turned his entire life upside down. He wasn't under the impression that he was anything other than someone completely average- and this make's Sora's past such a wonderfully written contrast to his own, because she WAS someone special- but it was for the wrong reasons. She knows exactly how capable she is and that fucking terrifies her. They have such a wonderful dynamic and it's because of the fact that even though they're very similar in nature, the context of their pasts are almost perfectly opposite and their views and opinions are thus complimentary. It's just- augh I mean it when I say the writing blew me away in dragons rising

Ya’ll for the past few hours I’ve been trying to calculate population growth for my fictional world and started going year by year listing out the total population, births, and deaths for each year.

There’s no way this is necessary, and I do t know why I’m doing all this when there’s no way at any point anyones gonna start talking about population growth within the story.

Idk what Im doing and have decided to share with you the nonsense I’m getting up to.

Gus is my favorite he wasn’t in the finale much but he was great! This scene made me so happy

They are everything to me, you don’t understand

I like it when hair is related to character growth.

Psychoanalyzing Lloyd’s most iconic hair styles.

[Post description: a series of screenshots from the animated series LEGO Ninjago. Image shows Kai and Lloyd sitting at a table, they are both holding tea cups. Lloyd is a child with a blonde bowl cut. End description.]

Rise of the Snakes Bowl Cut: this is a child. just a little guy. does not care about self expression through his hair at all, just trying to live his complicated little life.

[Image description: Sensei Garmadon and Lloyd are standing in front of a stone wall. Lloyd is young adult with neatly trimmed, short, blonde hair swept to the side. Garmadon has a similar hairstyle, but grey. End description]

the Sudden Growth Spurt Cowlick: still not a deliberate hair choice, he’s still a kid, trying to mimic his dad because he loves him and looks up to him.

[Image description: Kai has his arm around Lloyd, restraining him. Lloyd has black hair and light green skin. End description.]

the Possession Inversion: Emo phase. that was supposed to be a funny joke but I’m actually crying.

[Image description: Lloyd is holding his sword against Cole’s hammer. Cole’s back is turned to the viewer. Lloyd’s hair is white and nearly reaches his neck. End description.]

Baby’s First Deliberate Hair Choice! Now that he’s no longer feeling like a lost child and is entering his proper Teen Angst Years, the boy bought a pack of cheap bleach and dyed his hair in the monastery bathroom. He also stopped using his dad’s hair gel, sporting a looser, more stylish look.

[Image description: Zane is talking to Lloyd, who appears to be upset. Zane is in his titanium form. Lloyd’s hair is the same style as before, but now in a warm yellow colour with light streaks. End description.]

Post Harumi Golden Locks: you hair matching your girlfriend’s is only cute as long as she isn’t a homicidal maniac. After the Oni Trilogy Lloyd let his hair return to its natural colour, which makes it look much healthier. Too bad his newly developed severe trust issues can’t be fixed by swapping out his conditioner :(

[Lloyd is standing alone in front of a blurry, pink landscape. His hair has more visible dark streaks by the roots. The pink lighting makes it hard to see exactly what kind of blonde it is. End description.]

Dragons Rising: Lloyd has graduated the Angsty Teenager phase. He is now an Exhausted Adult. All his friends are gone, presumed to be dead (again), he is overworked, has adopted two protéges, and has not touched a shampoo bottle in Months. Just look at those greasy roots. Please let him take a break and also a bath.

Just watched Metal Family cause i’d seen a few TikTok’s as it so happens me be my sister watched it the same night also because of TikTok’s she saw and so the next morning we talked about I was like huh wild coincidence.

Anyway like that show would recommend it’s on YouTube if ur curious hope whoever reads this has a wonderful day/night

The way my autism presents means that the way I’ve learned to socialize is via fiction as a kid I would frequently repeat lines of dialogue I either read or heard in a show in response to situations that matched the scene I was referencing. This works fine and dandy and as someone whose older now I use far less refrences as I’ve learned how to do my own thing. That said every single fuckin time I’m in a situation where I hear something unfortunate ranging from I stubbed my toe to my loved one died my instinct is to say

“that’s rough buddy”

I have at this point learned to only use such default responses for light tension situations, because as a child I eventually realized my quotes didn’t always land and I’d have to learn to socialize more independently.

Have a good day/night to the unfortunate soul that read through this ramble.

killed the ender dragon, which means I’ll finally have access to more purple blocks for my rainbow town.
