The ninja ninja too often they need lives man

I can imagine Cole using his free time to do arts and crafts and just go on huge drawing sprees after not being able to draw for so long. He uses charcoal and ink the most.

Kai steals as many random clothes that no one wears or are ripped and either fixes them up with or creates the most stunning designs on them with his amazing sewing skills.

Zane has a little area in his room where he practices and sometimes even records break dancing videos for others to help learn off of. He also sometimes runs and ice cream cart in the city park and holds up a sign whilst break dancing.

Nya enjoys gardening near ponds and rivers. She enjoys making the surrounding area beautiful because then the water also looks beautiful. Whenever there’s fish there too, she starts gossiping with them.

Jay likes go visit really random and small shops that have the most weirdest and coolest and nicest stuff. Sometimes he goes to this coffee shop that sells fake skulls and cute plush cats, and then he’s at this small book store that also gives away shiny rocks. If it’s a place he can sit at he sometimes brings his laptop to start programming for a bit, making websites or games.

Lloyd likes bungee jumping and exploring really supposedly paranormal areas to see if there’s actually something going on because he is so bored. He also likes to play football with kids in the park and sometimes he lets them win, other times he holds no mercy, and other other times those kids demolish him in the game.

Pixal goes and paints her nails, but also opens up a little stall to do others nails and talk to them so she can start socialising with people other than the ninja.

I can imagine Zane being in an argument with someone over whatever, and they just yell “DONT YOU HAVE A HEART?!” And Zane just lowkey opens his chest hatch and rips out his glowing blue circular heart, before saying “No, you bi-”

Lloyd absolutely enjoys tackling people. Like out of pure random. Cole could be holding cake and that would still not keep him safe from a dragoni human hybrid with unimaginable power to full on tackle him and then run away cackling.

Kai does that thing with Nya where they both tickle each other at random. Like one second they’re all serious in a meeting, the next Wu has to pull them apart because Nya poked a very specific, very ticklish area on Kai’s waist that made him squeak like a lil girl. Kai also gets his revenge by jabbing his arm into her armpit to tickle her and it aches hours later.

Cole enjoys walking into Jay’s room after he’s been there for hours just to annoy him. Like Jay’s just trying to play a video game, or maybe talk to someone on the phone, and Cole just walks in and starts annoying him. Touches the screen of the game to make Jay lose, starts talking about embarrassing stuff about Jay rlly loudly, lays and spreads himself over his bed. Zane walks in after hearing screaming and insulting and kinda just watches. He finds it hilarious.

Whenever it’s late and they need to wake one of them up, Zane always volunteers because he makes his eyes shine the brightest blue ever and stares wide eyed at the person- let’s say Lloyd in this one- and uses a completely stupid accent to say their name as a whisper echo thing. “Lloyd….Lloyddddd……” in a British accent is all he can hear before opening his eyes in confusion only to see a dark figure with glowing blue eyes towering over him.

No, Nya, he did not throw a pillow at Zane whilst screaming higher than even Kai can. That was her imagination.

Im sorry guys i just need them acting more like siblings because they would absolutely do this.

(Read the TW tags first, just in case)

Give me mentally unstable and probably classified as insane Morro who sees hallucinations but got so used to all of it after decades of dealing with it that no one suspects a thing.

Except Lloyd. Lloyd kinda wants to throw Morro into a deep pool of both lava and water after making him watch horrifying hallucinations and imagery of everything and everyone.

Worse part, Morro has no idea that he accidentally put the green ninja through that. He was wondering why he would suddenly go silent, but got distracted by the beast moving out the walls with blood tainted teeth.

He went to go poke it.

You know those characters who are like rlly tiny but use a massive hammer as a weapon or smth?

Give me Morro, whatever damn height, just wielding a massive knife like Cross Sans.

Like, a MASSIVE knife. And he just casually swings it around and pulls it out from like behind him somehow.

Lloyd but it’s just him calling his dad a centipede.

Lloyd was definitely one of those kids who loved insects. Even the gross and slimy ones.

Zane screamed in terror when he opened his arm hatch just to see a large, poisonous spider crawl out. He forgot he ain’t human.

Garmadon and Morro, and their unused dumbassery in the departed realm, part 5:

Part 4 - Part 6

*arguing with someone, maybe Chen*

Morro: yeah? Well why don’t you go SUCK MY-

Garmadon: *covers his mouth* he didn’t mean that.

Garmadon: Well, he did, and I share the sentiment, but in a more dignified manner.

You know i love the idea that Zane and Pixal are stuck with only each other for the rest of eternity when all their friends and family, everyone they knew, died, but like they wouldn’t.

(TW: suicide?)

Zane and Pixal often are shown to prioritise the ‘logical’ solution or route to situations and they both would decide that after their generation has finally died, and the next will begin, that they have no place there.

They both have souls, they can die and go to the departed realm, but despite their emotions of grief and loneliness being a driving factor they would argue that the element of ice should finally pass on to its next host. Zane may do something similar to what the previous elemental of ice did and give it to some random kid he believed would be worthy. Except, Pixal technically still has half of the element powering her constantly. She can’t use it, but it’s the whole reason shes alive in the first place. They both would essentially find a new master and choose them as the next elemental and then pretty much kill themselves.

(And even if she doesn’t have it, she’d still be one of the main people helping him choose so they can both move on together. Pixal is not leaving Zane, if he wishes to pass on then so does she.)

You guys forget that Zane has a very little self worth, and would not hesitate to do so if Pixal is willing too. And Pixal is the one who tends to choose the more ‘logical’ or ‘reasonable’ route despite it possibly harming her. After the last ninja died, they might go a bit longer, but neither of them have the willpower or mental stability to go through literal decades of protecting Ninjago and seeing new elementals. They’d wanna move on too.

They can’t handle the crushing loneliness,

The hopelessness

The fading determination in Zane’s eyes and the loss of will in Pixal’s.

They are both willing to finally die as long as they get to see their loved ones again. Their generation is gone, so let them leave too.

Headcanon except its only canon: Cole likes making false flowers. Fake flowers, plastic, cotton, ribbon, paper, you name it. He’s the artist of the group, and he’s gotten into arts and crafts because of it too cause he likes using his hands.

You wanna know how I know this?

Bro made one for me, thats why.

Guys imagine CHEN was Morro’s dad, and neither of them, ANY of them, knew. Like we have NO IDEA who this guys bio parents are and we have no idea who the previous elemental master of wind was. Its fully possible Morro is the brother to Skylor because Chen was a FREAK-

Guys hear me out PLEASE-

Exploring the stupidity of the fact that Garmadon and Morro, two of the most biggest menaces in Ninjago, are trapped together in one realm, part 3 :

Part 2 - Part 4

Morro: let go of me.

Garmadon: Morro, I am not letting you scrounge through a couple of trash cans because you think you’ll find the realm crystal in there.

Garmadon: Not just that, but why would it even be here?

Morro: destroyed things end up in the departed realm 2.0, and useless things end up in the trash, why would it not be here???

Garmadon:….I’m still not letting you go.

Morro: *cannot be considered short until placed next to the absolute BEAST of Garmadon, who is holding him by the back of his gi high off of the ground.* LET GO-

Garmadon: And let you rummage through the trash like a hobo? Just because you look like one, does not mean I should let you act like one.

Morro: well, MAYBE, just MAYBE, i wanna return to my roots.

Garmadon: If you wish to ‘return to your roots’ maybe go blonde, I personally believe it would suit you.

Morro: how you almost took over the world multiple times when having such disturbingly bad ideas is beyond me.

Garmadon: *has not seen Morro for a week, and is worried. So, he visits Morro’s ‘house’ in the departed realm.* Morro? Are you home?

Garmadon: *walks in when the front door creaks open, it’s eerily silent.* Morro?? Child?? Where is this brat….

Morro: *mumbling from afar* mother of- dammit!

Garmadon: *walks up to the slightly open bathroom door and pushes it open, worried beyond belief now.* Morro, are you alright?-

Morro:

Garmadon:

Morro:

Garmadon:

Garmadon: *snorts and turns away*

Morro: *wearing a tank top covered in dye, a good amount of his black hair put into a side pigtail as he lifts up the green streak in his hair up away from the rest of his hair, half of it covered in blonde hair dye, the other half of the dye having just been blasted onto his face.*….it’s not funny.

Garmadon: nO NO ITS NOT-

Morro: *embarrassed and resigned to his fate of being laughed at.* just help me. Please.

Garmadon: Wha-*snort*-whatever you say, Child. *chuckling, he walks over to grab a towel and wipe Morro’s face, who’s obviously wanting to kick Garmadon but literally asked for his help.* You should not be this bad at dying your hair, haven’t you done this since young?

Morro: *looks at Garmadon in bafflement.* ….old man, the green in my hair grew from my damn scalp, i didn’t put it there.

Garmadon:

Garmadon: Well, you learn something new everyday.

Gave you guys a short one because i couldn’t be bothered. I have no idea if this one is funny but i wholeheartedly believe this would happen once Morro accepts his family. (And stops being a wet cat)

Garmadon absolutely mocks Morro for it afterwards but deep deep down he hides the fact that he found it rlly sweet

Exploring the stupidity of the fact that Morro and Garmadon are stuck in the departed realm together, part 2:

Part 1 - Part 3

Morro and Garmadon are both in the Departed realm, why haven’t we used this information as stupidly as we could.

Part 2

Morro: so…Your son-

Garmadon: one more word, and I will break my vow of peace.

Morro:

Morro: he kinda stunk.

Garmadon: *swings*

Garmadon: Isn’t it funny, how at one point in time, you thought you were destined to be the guy to defeat me?

Morro: *laying face down on the ground after losing another sparring match, is tempted to blast Garmadon*

Garmadon: hilarious, isn’t it? Ninjago would’ve been very protected.

Garmadon: *is trying to teach Morro about accepting change* change is nothing to be afraid of. Sure, it can be shocking, like the first time i grew four arms, but-

Morro: what.

Garmadon: it doesn’t-…yes?

Morro: say that part again.

Garmadon: change is nothing to be afraid of?

Morro: No, the other thing.

Garmadon:…it can be shocking?-

Morro: No. The other other thing.

Garmadon: Oh, you mean when i said Wu was you’re-

Morro: NO- the OTHER OTHER OTHER, thing!

Garmadon: when i had four arms?

Morro: YES! What do you MEAN you had four arms???

Garmadon: exactly what it implies, i had four arms.

Morro:

Morro: does that mean you technically classify as an insect

Garmadon: What.

Morro: did you know-

Garmadon: Morro, I am thousands of years old. Whatever you try to tell me, I probably already know of.

Morro: oh.

Morro: damn, i guess i didn’t need to tell you Lloyd died and visited your dad.

Garmadon: WHAT-

Morro: oh yeah, you must already know that the water ninja became water too, right?

Garmadon: What do you even MEAN BY THAT-

Morro: and that Wu apparently just died too, huh?

Garmadon: HE DID WHAT

Morro: he did death, apparently.

Garmadon: for today’s session, I was hoping to discuss some past traumas with you.

Morro: no. I don’t have trauma.

Garmadon: Morro, everyone has trauma.

Morro: well, I don’t.

Garmadon: Child, just because you call your past experiences ‘character development’ does not mean they weren’t traumas.

Morro: hey, old man.

Garmadon:

Morro: heyyy, you four armed loser.

Garmadon:

Morro: Garmadon! Stop ignoring me dammit!

Garmadon:

Morro: ugh- you- SENSEI!

Garmadon:

Morro: oh for the love of- I am NOT calling you… That.

Garmadon: *turns away*

Morro: dammit-it’s important!

Garmadon: *begins to walk away*

Morro: oh, you- you petty old man- UNCLE.

Garmadon: *turns around with a smile* yes?

Morro: I hope you get resurrected and die again.

A good half of these are rlly bad but i found it fun so let me off this once 😭

Anyways, they have a love hate relationship with the hate coming from Morro, the care coming from Garmadon, who tbh just wants to uncle Wu’s kid the same way Wu did his own (after managing his own annoyance at Morro after what happened)

Garmadon likes bullying Morro, Morro likes mocking Garmadon. Thats their relationship.

After finally starting to watch MHA, I’ve ended up describing other characters from other shows (NINJAGO) and their relationships using the ones in the anime. I ended up listing off which ninjago character gives off which Mha characters vibe and they are each a mix of two because it just makes sense to me🙏

Kai: Todoroki (later seasons) and Kirishima

Cole: Sero and Momo

Jay: Kaminari and Kouda

Zane: Iida and Shoji

Nya: Mina and Jirou

Lloyd: Midoriya and Ojiro

Morro: Shigaraki and Bakugou

Wu: Nezu and All Might

Sensei Garmadon: Tokoyami and Nezu

Evil Garmadon: literally All for One (with a hint of Aizawa in the later ninjago seasons (when he gets brought back a second time as Evil Garm))

Horikoshi is amazing at writing his characters and relationships, and tbh i find that a huge difference to the character writing in ninjago, but maybe i should rewatch it first before making a judgment.

I’m unsure about Nya’s, and tbh most of theirs, but i feel like its accurate to how i perceive them and their characters.
