"I didn't comment on a fic I liked because I don't think the author would care or remember my comment anyway". fanfic writer here, I still remember comments I got on my fics from seven years ago. I still think about them and they still make me smile. your kind comments are what motivates us and what helps us keep writing.
I personally know writers who take screenshot and print out comments they got from their readers.
TL;DR comments matter to us writers more than you think. if you like a fanfic, never be shy to let the author know ♡
This is a rare non Wu post, but this has been in my head for a while now and I need to say it, just a small theory/thought. Don't take it too seriously..
But
Our Zane is DEAD.
Wild thought, right? Like we've seen him come back time and time again, how could he be dead? He's a robot he can't die- no. You don't understand.
Zane DIED in season 3. The son that Dr Julien MADE with his love and care, is DEAD. I've been trying to pinpoint why Zane hasn't felt right to me ever since s3, maybe it's just the way he was made but he further becomes a bot, than, Zane, further becomes the protector of those who cannot protect themselves, than ZANE, than OUR cooking, funny, jokes and japes loving Zane. The Zane who was confused but was..Human nonetheless. The Zane we never even thought could be anything else BUT human, just. Different.
That Zane died when he sacrificed himself. What he was made from, made WITH, could not be replicated. The titanium ninja might look like our Zane, might sound like him sometimes. But he's empty. And only further growing farther than what Zane was. A brother. A friend. Now he's an informat laying heavily on the FACT that he IS a nindroid that can be replaced. Because he WAS replaced.
Our Zane is gone.
And he's not coming back.
Wonderful addition. Thank you for your contribution this is amazing. Rotating in my head like microwave
Kais self care routine gets so much longer after monstrosities (hair routine included) and I will not be told otherwise.
Mans is treating every day as a spa day bc he spent so many days not being able to do even the most basic of self care tasks. And honestly as he should.
Ok but also I really like the centipede Kai idea and now I’m picturing him figuring out what self care for his bug bits looks like
Do you think the fsm made a version of it for Wu nd garmadon and he passed the recipe down to them. So even though it definitely does not taste the same due to generational and regional changes it sorta reminds him of home?
It makes me so happy that not only does Lloyd Eat the Dragonian soup, but he also ENJOYS it. It's so endlessly Boring how other foods from other lands or species are looked at as Gross or Weird, it just improves the story to me if these characters can actually Engage with other cultures more.
Ninjago hc’s ✨Jaya skybound trauma edition✨
I saw someone talk about jay having scars from the alternate timeline, and I really like that! The idea that it’s not just their minds that rembered, but their bodies as well.
So jays littered with scars from his time on misfortunes keep, but nya also has a scar from the poison dart. It aches sometimes, it can get downright unbearable.
They both have nightmares from the whole ordeal, and normally the ninja are pretty open about their nightmares. But for these? How are they supposed to explain it? So they only have each other for comfort from these specific nightmares, which makes being apart all that much harder.
He DESPERATELY wanted to forget like everyone else got too. Yo jay it wasn’t fair he was stuck with these horrible memories (side note. I have heard that in dragons rising jays got a memory loss villain arch going on which could totally link into this ehehe)
Jay also has a fear of spiders now <3
Thinking about a scene from a ninjago roleplay I had in highschool and the missed angst opportunities 😔
It was a wonderful rp and wish I could read it again but alas the accounts used to create it are deleted
Thinkin about how happy Lou would be that Cole’s with an artist.
If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽
Oh yeah I’m positive
THIS IS ABOUT SEASON 2 OF DRAGONS RISING NOT 3
Anyone else thinking about how the ninja team combo vehicle  looks like the ultra sonic raider a bit? Anyone else thinking about how many good memories it brought back for the ninja, even though sora had no clue about it and it wasnt intentional? No? Just me? Okie dokie then.
Kai after he gets home, looking in the mirror and just. Practicing.
His smile. His laugh. His quips. Practicing how to seem like himself so Lloyd doesn’t worry.
