Random ninjago headcanons
Nya, Jay, PIXAL, and Zane are the most mechanically gifted of the team
Jay used to love building cars and big mechanical things but as he got older he started getting more interested in coding
Now Nya builds the things and Jay helps her code them
Zane taught Cole how to cook and bake better
Lloyd looks normal. Like freakishly normal. Like, skin too perfect of a shade, eyes too symmetrical, hair the perfect shade of blonde, etc.
Kai hates swimming but loves the beach because it’s nice and warm and sunny
Zane follows to the law to a concerning degree
PIXAL…does not
She considers the law more guidelines than actual rules
Jay and Lloyd taught Kai how to use his cellphone
Nya and Zane have who can hold their breath underwater the longest contests
The rest of the team finally started liking cliff gordon movies after Jay told them that was his bio dad
The rest of the ninja had tons of recurring dreams about someone asking them to wish it all away
Jay and Nya finally told them everything that had happened
Jay’s hair was always curly, he just didn’t know when he was younger and brushed it out weirdly so it was a frizzy mess and then he would tame it with tons of hair gel
Pre-season 8 Jay is the only person to ever come close to rivaling the amount of hair gel Kai uses
No one really has their own clothes at the momentary because everyone raids everyone’s closets
ESPECIALLY Nya and Lloyd
Lloyd started it when he was really little, Nya started it as a show of power
Now everyone steals everyone’s clothes
The only way PIXAL can change her hair is using welding
She only trusts Nya to help her with that
Jay and Nya take weekly ballroom dancing classes
After Prime Empire the rest of the ninja will sometimes join them
Usually Cole
Lloyd calls Kai and Nya his brother and sister in his head but he hasn’t had the guts to call them that out loud
Every so often the ninja do karaoke
Jay and Nya always do some sort of romantic duet (with varying degrees of success)
Kai, Cole, and Jay team up to sing rock songs
Zane is a surprisingly good singer
So is Lloyd
Jay stayed in touch with Unagami after prime empire
Cole and Vania write letters to each other on the regular, usually filled with whatever dumb stuff the ninja did and what the Upply and other inhabitants of Shintaro are currently up to
The ninja have a giant groupchat with all the elemental masters and the only texts ever sent are usually embarrassing photos of someone screwing up their own element
Zane might be the mom of the group but Kai is concerningly good at any and all type of housework
Cole is the middle child. I stand by this
Jay has way too many pins and buttons on his backpack
Lloyd has a massive sweet tooth
He and Cole go for candy and cake runs whenever they can
Jay is not allowed to go shopping because he buys the most random things
Kai and Jay are the clumsiest ninja
Ever since PIXAL became part of the ninja Cyrus Borg has begun to consider the ninja as his children as well
All of the ninja are insanely competitive
Nya helped Cole get over his fear of water after turning back to human
Dareth and Ronin are the ninja’s weird uncle
Jay loves musical theatre
Kai, Jay, and Cole recreated the Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon versus Maul fight while Zane sang/played the music. young Lloyd recorded it and now threatens to show it to Nya and PIXAL whenever everyone’s being stupid
PIXAL curses the most out of everyone
Kai doesn’t curse because when he was younger he tried to keep Nya from learning curse words and that transferred to Lloyd as well
Jay’s natural freckles are super light and unable to see unless you’re super close up
Nya was the first to find out he had freckles one of the first times they were cuddling together after season 6
She absolutely adored them and so he draws over them with a darker pencil so that they’re more visible
Jay loves drawing and doodling but doesn’t get into painting until after seabound
Cole and Nya have arm wrestling contests
Zane almost always wins paper rock clamp, the only people who can ever beat him is PIXAL and weirdly Kai
Kai is great at riddles. no idea why
One time Jay put food dye in Kai’s hair gel and he didn’t notice
Kai’s hair had a blue sheen for weeks
The resulting prank war nearly destroyed the monestary
It ended when someone managed to fill each person’s room with things relating to their elemental power
Zane’s room was full of ice and snow, everything in Nya’s room was soaked with water, Kai’s furniture was on fire, Jay’s blankets were so full of static electricity he nearly knocked himself out, Cole’s room was packed full of boulders, PIXAL’s room was somehow full of a ton of remote controlled robots, and Lloyd’s room was full of green balloons.
They never did find the culprit
(Master Wu had gotten so fed up with the prank war that he had contacted Skylor, who was all to happy to help)
“Jean is team mom” “Ororo is team mom” SILENCE. Enough of you reducing women to maternal archetypes because you can’t be bothered to explore deeper meanings to their character.
LOGAN is team mom.
“Logan, can you buy us—“ “no” (buys the thing anyway)
Is constantly scolding his kids students for putting themselves in danger
Plans fun activities (life threatening danger room drills)
Handles the rebellious phases. You think Scott has the mental strength to deal with the fury of a teenage girl who can throw fireworks when she’s mad? I think not.
Hank can barely convince Jubilee to do her homework. Charles mentally checked out a long time ago.
Takes Jubilee, Kitty and Laura shopping. If he doesn’t like something, he’ll give them the blankets ‘that’s cute. I wouldn’t buy it.’ In the world
“What do you think, I’m made of money? We’re getting milk and that’s it.” — leaves with half the store
Is the kid’s emergency contact AND attends everyone’s PTA meetings.
No, ELIZABETH, He won’t be staying up all night cooking vegan cupcakes for your precious angel. He’s gonna buy them like a normal person.
Mom Stare (tm) that can turn you to stone
Will assign kids chores, complain they don’t do it correctly, proceeds to do it himself, then says no one helps around.
“You’re EXACTLY like your father” “…Are you talking about Scott—“ “of course I’m talking about Scott!”
Kitty wants to learn how to drive. He’s holding that safety handle till his hands get purple. “Check the mirror CHECK THE MIRROR—“ “it’s CHECKED :(( “ “CHECK SOME MORE”
Laura is his baby. Holds her everywhere. Will talk about her 24/7.
“Logan, do you know Bobby’s birthday? I need it for—“ “June 28th, Tuesday, 10:34:03 AM, blood type A, his nurse’s name was Susan, —“
Is in charge of birthday cakes. No one else.
If the kids feel down, or need someone to talk to, he’s got a 6th sense for it. Knocks on their door, Leland’s against the frame with his arm crossed, ‘wanna talk about it’ on his face.
The most insane lore you’ve ever heard
trying to cope with the news so here's something really stupid and just general darkleys kids stuffs
third pic below is my bud @twigs-sprigs band au darkleys keke
THIS IS SO GOOD OMFG
the evolution of the Robin costume according to me myself and i:
the first version of the costume was Dick. everything about it was an homage to his parents. the colours, the design, the name of what would become a familial mantel, all of it came from John and Mary Grayson. Dick poured his grief and love into that costume and became stronger through it.
Jason’s costume was the same as Dick’s, only tailored to his size. it was smaller probably than it had ever been for Dick, but beyond very little alterations (probably a longer short and more secure boots, because at the end of the day, Jason is a survivor, and he wouldn't allow himself to go out there wearing something too revealing and shoes he didn't feel comfortable running in. Jason knew Gotham's streets and knew that was where the worst of humanity indulged in their darkest urges), the costume remained the. exact. same. maybe he didn't see the need to change it. more probably, it came from a place of insecurity and uncertainty about his place in the family. he looked up to Dick so much and wanted to make him proud so badly that he spent the rest of his short life doing his best to try and emulate Dick even if that meant erasing himself.
when Tim inherited (read; blackmailed Batman into giving it to him) the mantel, keeping the same costume was no longer possible. of course, Bruce could have had one made that was identical to the one Dick and Jason wore before him, but no one involved at this point would have allowed it. after losing Jason, both Dick and Bruce went all in with the protective measures that were added to the suit. there would not be another dead bird under their watch. Tim wouldn't have allowed it either: he couldn't have lived with himself if he did: wearing the same costume Jason had died in would have felt like an insult to his memory. using the same mantel was already bad enough, but he would have to live with it: Batman needed a Robin after all. the costume gained pants, reinforced armour, and the cape became black on the outside. they said it was for stealth, but really, to Tim, it was a way to honour Jason's memory: from now on, Robin would wear the grief for those who fell into battle. Robin, for the better or the worst, lost a little of its magic after that.
Stephanie knew her time as Robin would be short. she was only doing Tim a favour after all. so she didn’t bother personalizing the suit beyond adding a few accessories to it. she got one of Tim’s back up suits, only one of them, tailored to her. she found it lucky that Tim was so short: they were practically the same size, and the alterations needed were minimal.
when Stephabie followed into Jason’s footsteps and died on the job, Tim retired that design of the suit. he designed another one. the Robin costume once again became darker, losing the green and gaining a lot more black elements. a lot of red, too. maybe it wasn’t a conscious decision, but the mantle who saw two kids die became dyed with blood.
when Damian came around, he wasn’t all that aware of the history of the mantle. he knew the facts, obviously, he had learned everything he could about the previous Robins so he would be prepared to take over once he joined his father, but he wasn’t aware of the emotional weight the suit and being Robin carried. he wasn’t aware of the shackle Tim had put on himself through the mantle. his only thought when he designed his own version of the Robin suit was that he wouldn’t wear the same thing Tim wore. he was too busy trying to paint himself in the most flattering light that he forgot to learn from his predecessors: Damian’s suit stayed dark, like Tim’s had been, but it became more muted also, like he was wearing a grief that wasn’t his, because actually that’s exactly what it was. the Robin costume became greyer and lost a lot of his colours.
when Tim created his own mantle, he brought his pains and that of his predecessors with him. he started something new, but still draped himself with the history of the Robin mantle. the Red Robin suit was red and black, just like his last iteration of the Robin costume
:D
“i want them to kiss” good for you! i want them tearing each other apart limb from limb just to feel something. i want them creating wounds and scars just to leave a permanent mark on the other. i want them poking and prodding mercilessly at each other’s most vulnerable secrets but keeping them nonetheless.
Not sure if we can jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin our way out of this one, boys.
came to me in a dream
Baby Damian! And with this loved one’s!
Honestly when I was first drawing it I didn’t realize how much he looked like SpongeBob until later 😭
A collection of ones I didn't really feel were post-worthy but have them anyway
