Anyway if all the realms merged with ninjago and the lego movie canonically has realms that can be walked/driven through a tunnel to get to it links both universe's together meaning the lego movie and the ninjago show can be tangentially canon and related to each other in this essay I will-
I think Emmet's characterization in the beginning of the movie and his involvement in the resistance and touching the piece reflects Finn's perception of how his dad wants him to behave and making Emmet a construction worker already gives him a little leeway into the creativity of construction which could provide Finn catharsis of creativity but still rigid enough to follow the orders of his higher ups aka his dad
Dark blue trips into dark green into bright green into yellow and Benny makes it out the other side.

Happy one year anniversary to my biggest fic and my most beloved, I'll See You On The Moon!!
I've always loved The Lego Movie and Benny became a favorite of mine very early on, so it was only fitting that after discovering what his backstory was in the original script I create a big love letter to the spaceman and the world itself with it.
Happy one year to the Nielsen crew, Major Peggy Kartofski, First Mate and everyone related.
And thank you to everyone in this last year that read it in the first place, and even before then to the close friends I had that supported me while creating it. I'm so thankful and lucky to have received such love for it <333
People who’ve seen The Lego Movie and know what sick powers you can get from jumping into a wormhole when they play ISWM:
Happy valentines day to them and them only
Arguably one of the funniest parts of being in The Lego Movie’s fandom is seeing that Benny’s most popular ship is Coppernauts, which is him and Good Cop/Bad Cop shipped together and the fact that it started out as a crack ship and spread until people started shipping them unironically to the point where Benny’s ship with his canon boyfriend is the rarepair and that’s hilarious to me
Benny goes to a Halloween party in his normal outfit and says he's in a costume like
Someone: so what are you dressed as??
Benny: an astronaut
Someone: a-aren't you a real astronaut though??
Benny: yeah
Someone: .... Okay
I'm sorry but it's the funniest concept to me that Benny, who has canonically built over 700 spaceships, doesn't have an engineering degree
You've all heard of the Newt-Voices-Benny headcanon now get ready for Benny has 6 PhDs and a bunch of tattoos and an old rivalry/love with a lab partner who he also is married to??? And nobody ever said anything about it??
HEY DO YOU LIKE THE LEGO MOVIE?? HOW ABOUT BENNY AND HIS ORIGINAL BACKSTORY?? DO YOU LIKE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF PACIFIC RIM REFERENCES AND META HUMOR??? OR MAYBE MUTUAL PINING AND SOME OF THE MOST TENDER ENDINGS I’VE EVER WRITTEN??? THEN BOY DO I HAVE THE FIC FOR YOU FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND 17 DAYS I HAVE WORKED ALMOST NONSTOP TO CREATE THIS FIC AND WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN FOR YOU TO READ IT
I think it would be very entertaining to imagine Lenny in the Lego Movie speaking with Burn Gorman’s voice to continue the “Charlie Day and Burn Gorman play love interests no matter what universe they’re in” gag
The fact that there's an internet cafe for the master builders means that there has to be at least one groupchat for them as well in this essay I will-
What a good day to remember Benny's canonically gay
And now, frames from the Lego movie that make my fight or flight reflex activate
