Okay but if Arin *does* go to the evil side I need it to be for multiple (in universe) years. At the very least one season. I need him to grow older while he’s in that dark place and every time the ninja, including his old best friend, see him again he looks a little bit different. Grown a little bit taller. After that he can go back to goodness idc but I just need for a substantial passage of time between when we first get to know the kid Arin that bakes pies for dogs in ep1 and when a much older Arin with years of fighting and trauma on his back gets to maybe return to those he once called family.
#this is in fact canon to me btw#like i know we haven’t even gotten to just evil arin yet but i want it to be for a long time#not just ‘’oh no he’s turning evil! here’s some heartfelt words to instantly bring him back!’’#no i want this kid to be manipulated and gaslit in a way where nothing can turn him back#unless it’s like. his parents or smth.#i want to draw angst of this so badly but i shouldn’t when i don’t even know if evil arin is real yet liahgsdhjk#but when has that ever stopped me? eh.#ninjago#lego ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago dr#dragons rising#ninjago spoilers#evil arin#arin ninjago#ninjago arin#dragons rising arin
