Happy Last Same Year As It Was Yesterday 2024 Tuesday

For Years my brother has been fucking with me by periodically texting me to say Jimmy Carter had finally died. Today the bit has paid off.

The response to my reaction at work was “what do you MEAN ‘for real this time’?????”

I fucking hate it here I’m crying

it's fine

since I think you're asking about morally, then it's good to point out that

a) Lloyd was not aged up with tomorrow tea and is just that age (as far as we know)

b) ONLY nya and kai are blood related anyway (what would affect incest)

c) the ninja behave as a team rather than a family of siblings, with seemingly only nya and kai being raised as siblings anyway (which does not affect incest, but can be icky particularly to adoptive siblings as it might seem to cheapen their own sibling relationship)

d) the movie is NOT canon to the series, and there is NO direct connection. its a different thing. like different spiderman series. the relationships between characters in one DO NOT inform the relationships in another unconnected series (like you mentioned, they're completely different characters)

e) IGNORING ALL OF THAT. if you're fine with Jay/Nya in the movie and somehow not okay with other inter-ninja ships: you're only fine with Jaya bc its canon

so. its fine, yeah

Is it okay to ship MOVIE Lloyd w/ the other movie ninjas?

I need a mutual agreement/other fans feedbacks on this </3

B4 I do something I can't come back from (drawing)

In the movie, Lloyd & the other ninjas are the same age, no doubt, born and raised normal (unlike the serie, so unfortunate)

Though, I genuinely don't ship anyone in the series (but jaya) then when watching the movie, it's like seeing completely new people, right? suddenly I'm not a Jaya shipper but a Jay/Kai shipper :(

happy ninjaposting friday your ninjapost is this joke titled I Loved Season Four And Have Drawn Like 3 Different Versions Of This Same Joke

Phrases to borrow for my next migraine.

Woe! Ninjago x ATLA AU be upon you!!

So I found these old sketches from a while ago where I combined ATLA and Ninjago (one of the easiest crossovers known to man), but… I hadn’t watched ATLA yet, so they weren’t very good. Don’t worry, I’ve changed.

Timeline wise, it’s the kind of AU that overwrites the OG narrative- Lloyd takes Aang’s place (and also Zuko’s) while the other ninja take the Gaang’s place. I liked the correlation between Jay’s and Teo’s parents being inventors so Jay takes Teo’s place. He gets a wheelchair, then, because it feels VERY rude to replace a disabled character with an abled one. I think the order of characters joining the team would be Lloyd, Kai, Zane, Jay, Cole, then Nya. Kai would be away from home at a station, and the ‘main plot’ (before the reveal of Lloyd being the Avatar) would be Kai getting home, but Lloyd is searching for the Avatar so they can’t do that straight on.

Also, yes, Garmadon is the Fire Lord.

Happy trans visibility day 🏳️‍⚧️

Hope this Lil Doodle would cherry you up with my comfort characters Koko and garmadon are T4T !! <3

damn we got 2022 tomorrow

I thank you for answering my previous question! (I'm so glad there are people on social media who work together to share knowledge like this!)

One of things I guess I did get confused with in my research is Nezha's origin story. It does help that you clarified about the many versions being different but they all are a part of telling the story. I overheard a rumor that there was an official book that told the "original" version of his story, but that is what my research is mainly trying to solve. I see a few titles saying they talk about Nezha's backstory, but none that claimed to be original. So I suppose I could be wrong in what I heard. Again, I thank you fir answering my questions! It's been fun learning new things about these topics!

Hello Hello!

I see, I understand what you’re trying to get here. To the best of my knowledge the earliest version of Nezha’s origin myth comes from The Grand Compendium of the Three Religion’s Deities. There is an edition from the Ming Dynasty (1368AD-1644AD) and an edition from the Qing Dynasty (1636AD–1911AD), but both editions cover roughly the same information and the distinction isn’t necessary here.

When he was five days old, Nezha went bathing in the Eastern Ocean. He trampled over the [dragon king's] Crystal Palace. He somersaulted straight to the top of the Precious Pagoda. Because he had trampled over his palace, the infuriated dragon king challenged him to fight. By then, Nezha was already seven days old, and he could overcome the nine dragons. The old dragon had no choice, except complaining to the [Jade] Emperor. The General [Nezha] knew of his intention. Intercepting him by Heaven's Gate, he killed the dragon. Mounting the Jade Emperor's altar, Nezha took the Buddha's bow and arrows. He shot an arrow, unintentionally killing Lady Rock's son. Lady Rock raised an army to fight him. The General [Nezha] took the Demon-Felling Club from his father's altar and, fighting his way Westwards, slew her. Considering that Lady Rock had been the demons' chief, Nezha's father was infuriated. He worried lest his son's killing her would provoke the demon hordes to war. Therefore, the General [Nezha] sliced off his flesh and bones, returning them to his father. Holding fast to his inner soul (zhen ling), he hastened to the Buddha's side, pleading that the World-Honored One make him complete once more. Considering that Nezha could subdue demons, the Buddha snapped a lotus flower. He fashioned it's stem into bones, it's roots into flesh, it's fiber into tendons, and it's leaves into clothes, giving life to Nezha once more.

I do hope this was helpful in your search. It’s entirely possible this story was imported from India during the Tang Dynasty (618AD-907AD) or Song Dynasty (960AD-1279AD) or even as early as the Wei Dynasty (386AD-535AD)

A majority of literature about Nezha was written during the Tang Dynasty (618AD-907AD) which was followed by one (of many) instances where China was no longer unified in a warring states period. It would be (705AD-960AD) where China was not unified and no further literature about Nezha was either written or survived.

Nezha had of course existed before the 7th century, but in terms of a timeframe Nezha and any written record of him was brought to China some centuries before Tang Sanzang went to India. Figure he formally entered China around 266AD-420AD while Sanzang left for India around 629AD.

It is wholly possible a story like this existed while Nezha was still Nalakubara, third son of the Heavenly King Vaisravana. I’ve yet to locate anything like that yet but this post will be amended to reflect if new information has been found.
