Silly Game Time: Bringing back a crowd favorite! What's a live-action movie (or play) you think would be cooler if it had been animated (or performed with Muppets, if you're a fan of them)?

Ooh this isn't exactly a 'live-action' movie but I think it'd be really cool to see the Lego Ninjago Movie animated in the style of the Dragons Rising tv show. First of all because there's been so much innovation in animation technology since 2017 but also since a lot of the jokes in the Ninjago Movie are funny because they're meta and not made of bricks. Like I want to know how Meowthra would work in a fully plastic world. Thanks for the ask!

I tried writing an outline for a fic for the first time ever on my latest wip. Guess what. I made it through one singular bullet point before going on a 500 word side tangent.

Please. I don’t care if you thought my writing was trash. You can tell me everything’s out of character. The reason why I post stuff is for the vague sense of human connection. Spam me with questions about the fandom. Write an essay in the comments about how I’m wrong. Send an ask just geeking out about the fandom with me. I literally don’t care just saying anything will make my entire week.

Do y'all ever read a fic so good that it makes you want to elevate your own craft and also befriend the writer? It's almost like, "Hi! You write so well that you've inspired me to embark on a creative training arc. Also, can I yell about the character in your dms because you get it?"

I wish my wips looked like this. Woe is me, amateur mediocre fic writer with sentences and bullet points instead of fics.

Boom shakalaka or wtvr….. this isn’t finished and will not be finished but it’s okay because I like how it is right now and I wanna be free from WIP hell 😞😞😞 SAVE ME I DRAW TOO MUCH AND DONT FINISH THEM EVER AAHHHH

Wind noooo

Wars nooooo

I did a (ghost) wind-less version of this drawing aka how the Chain finds them at the end of the chapter lmao

Sometimes I think about what Kai’s hair would look like irl.

Spicy noodles 🍜

o7 spread the word

I feel like I should make a quick disclaimer.

Yes, I want to watch the new leaks. I will be spoiled otherwise and that really sucks.

No, I don't like that the episodes are getting leaked. The writers, animators, actors, producers, and everyone else involved put so much effort into this show, and I feel so bad for them.

I will be watching all of the episodes when they come out on Netflix. If we don't, the numbers could drop, and then the show risks getting cancelled.

So please, if you watch the leaked episodes, ALSO watch them on official streaming services in the fall when they're supposed to come out.

love when i see a ship that i don’t even ship and actively hate in a romantic context but in a qpr and suddenly everything’s okay and it’s cute and all is right in the world

please someone tell me the phrase “batting your eyes” is confusing af for you too. like bro chill out don’t go hitting yourself in the eyes with baseball bats as a flirting technique???

Happy International Penguin Day!!!

PENGUINS. all of them!

(not precisely to scale, but close)

Silly Game Time: A vampire hunter and a master chef are seated next to each other for a train ride. What do you think they'll talk about to pass the time?

The fact that today is International Penguin Day. And then recite all 18 species of penguin.

HOLY SHIT THIS FIC IS SO GOOD

Also, if I had a nickel for every time I bookmarked a really good fic titled “Numb” I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

NUMB, a post-s3p1 one shot

By me @/flyingdutchman on ao3

As things come back to him in bits and pieces, Lloyd copes with the events of S3PT1.

I’d love to hear what you guys think. and I hope you enjoy the deep dive into Lloyd after this hell-of-a season.

I can’t get over how someone who may or may not have the power of energy/life can have a deaths per season rate of like 20%.

new and updated theory on the source of lloyd’s power!

in dragons rising there definitely has been lore dropped here and there but more than anything I find ammunition to power my long winded theory that lloyd’s powers come from his heart, in theoretical and just elemental sense.

doc wyatt has established there isn’t a set explanation (YET) in show, but he did like one of my tweets regarding my claim that Lloyd’s power resonates within the heart and soul.

starting out, lloyd’s power has never been defined. it is hinted by the writers that lloyd has no idea what it is, though what we do know is that it—-

1) can create life and destroy it (the book of elemental powers)

2) draw energy from the elements

3) shield oneself / very powerful in attack

4) does not belong to the source dragon of energy but belongs to the source dragon OF LIFE

5) has some sort of connection with the FSM

and lastly, by LEGO GROUP’s definition.. it’s ENERGY.

energy can have have different meanings. energy in lightning’s case seems to be the electrical sense, but energy can .. power up things, it makes things work -

energy is also used as a synonym for life force, this is demonstrated when referring to the act of draining source dragons and the whack-rats.

what i am getting at, is I believe that energy in the sense of lloyd’s powers is that he holds the essence of life itself. his power works hand in hand in his survival as well as keeps him alive.

now to connect him to LIFE , a source dragon, was very interesting but made a great deal of sense. Life is in everything, energy can create life.. who created life?

THE FSM used elemental powers to bring Garmadon and Wu into existence, he also holds the ability that past his death, he could steal lloyd from the mortal world to speak to him in the grasslands.

the elements of creation can be drawn from in their energy for lloyd, but the elements of creation were the core four.

LIFE = Lightning, Ice, Fire, Earth

so….

that also makes sense as to when he was dying in mystake’s tea shop that they had to use their elemental powers of creation to revive lloyd or heal him.

now jumping into the theory that will always be my favorite, and the show itself actually jumped into it was elemental powers being felt or drawn from different places depending on the elemental powers, ie nya with veins, zane with his mind, etc etc etc—

lloyd’s power comes from his heart in my opinion.

firstly, life—- energy is what makes the heart beat, you cannot live without that.

mentally, lloyds power has always been his true self, his heart, the way he cares so deeply for people (even if they do not deserve so)

green in spirituality also represents the heart chakra, it is very similar in description.

but as someone so close to his mortality, and who i believe is always aware of such, it makes so much sense.

in s8, when his element is fighting for him as he’s succumbing to his wounds in the fight in krytparium it sparks on his chest,

following this— the elemental master figures that were released in the SOG wave depicted different elements and where they were located differed on the ninja, lloyds was insanely insanely obvious—

overdrawing from his element has caused him great sickness multiple times. we see this with golden power, then we see this with him fainting while using his element against griefbringer in MOTM (something very opposite to his element— death)

the fact that his power kept him alive but also left him for a bit after he almost was on the brink of dying in s8

now with dragons rising and the conduit putting him in a semi coma for several days because of his mortality

he puts his hand on his heart when he approaches the imperium source dragon when saying “this place, i feel weird”

him believing he’d die from conduit power…

it’s justttt…

but that being said there is so much they could discuss about lloyd in show, whether discovering his powers, or seeing the actual scope of what they do

lloyd is very hesitant and he out of anyone never talks about his powers or how they work

but there’s so much there, like what if his elemental power could heal people or bring people back to life (other than himself LOL)

if i had a nickel for every time a character typically associated with the color green had recurring visions about monsters rising on a blood moon i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

RGB HELL YEAH

Rgb siblings in fulll

reading my whumptober stuff almost 6 months later and holy shit it’s like reading any other average fic on ao3. like the plot is meh the characterization is meh the GRAMMAR AND RUN ON SENTENCES are meh. dear ao3 gods please let my recent works be better than what i was posting back in october.

Silly Game Time: I am granting you immunity from any and all physical injuries ... *except* in one fatal weak spot like Achilles with his heel. Let's say the weak spot is roughly the size of the smallest coin in your country of residence, and must be struck with enough force to draw blood from an average human being to activate. Simply touching it or even accidentally bonking it isn't enough.

Where would you put yours?

I'm going with the inside of my right ankle because:

shoes

no one is going to be stabbing my ankles (hopefully)

as someone who used to have a metal scooter, if I get hit there I'd rather just get taken out. if a scooter hurts that much then getting stabbed may as well just be my weakness.

PART 2 IS OUT IN SEPTEMBER?????
