Necromancer Joel because I said so
So you know how redcaps need to have their hats constantly soaked in fresh blood or they'll die right?
What if they were parasites on a Tarrasque or purple worm or some such?
A normally peaceful giant has recently been ravaging the countryside. Why is that giant so cranky? Because there's a redcap colony in his ear!
Just realized I haven't made any Ninjago citizen memes in a while. lol time to rectify that
btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.
when u come up with a tiny change for your story that not only makes the writing flow better but also hammers in the character motivations and story theme
me talking to my OCs like ok listen you’re gonna fall in love and be very happy together eventually, but i can only establish intimacy through physical pain, heartbreak and life or death situations. have fun <3

I think you're right that Vertin is 16.
Vertin should be around the same age as Sonetto, Mesmer Jr and Matilda as they all shared a class together (though either they have a larger range of ages within a class due to having few students or Matilda skipped a grade, which seems more likely)
I think Door is the same age as life on earth??? Or at least land? That's what his first story implies
Sputnik is at probably at least around 3 months old? She awakened at some point between Oct 1957 and Jan 1958 but IDK how long she's been in Laplace since then
The Fool is at least 250 years old, though they may be older - having been seen in the 1650s - assuming that all characters come from the 20th century.
Likewise La Source is at least 150 years old as that is when she first came to Paris (1850s)
(until v1.4 in CN)
✏️ Some notes:
- Lilya’s age in Global is “unknown,” but in CN server is 17. I am going with 17 because it makes sense for her to have an age. Most likely a translation mistake in GLB.
- Eternity’s age is said to be “more than a century,” so more than 100 years old, I’d say?
- A Knight’s age is said to be “exhibited in Medieval Times,” iirc so around that-amount-of-years-below-ago since 1999? Very uncertain, please correct me if I’m wrong.
- Soooooo I think Vertin is around 16-18?
vote Jimmy
PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT: [SPOILERS AND POSSIBLE TRIGGERS AHEAD]
C!JIMMY SOLIDARITY:
BOJACK HORSEMAN:
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

Side characters edition
Secret identity civilian memes part two - villain edition
the biggest problem with writing fantasy in english is that there's really no alternate universe phrasing that carries the exact tone and context to the reader as "jesus fucking christ"
What if the ninja maintained secret identities.
What if civilian memes.
If you are a fan fic writer and you're alright with people making fan art of your fic, reblog this 💚
Also if you consider that the Dino monster aged by either a couple thousand or million years. well.
Personal hc is that the tomorrow´s tea incident was actually necesary to give lloyd a power boost in time for the "final battle", also that he´d have aged slower otherwise (due to semi long lifespan), so this was always the only way for things to go and come out on top (also why no one ever tried to revert it).
me, incorrect: everyone is probably sick of me drawing this character by now...
my inner voice, wise: ah, but this cannot be... because I am part of "everyone"... and until I am sick of drawing them... it will not be everyone
me, opening a new blank canvas: ur so right
