This Set Gives Me Life

Oh you are totally right!

I actually forgot about that wow

I am curious about where the Monasteries came from, and how Wu is tied to them. Bonzle said she was created in roughly the location of the Mysterium Monastery, and doesn't remember it being there, and we see four Wu spirits, one for each active portal gate.

I feel like Wu got divided into 16 spirit orbs, but my question is WHY, and where are these Monasteries from? Did he build them to bridge the realms together, and ease them into the Merge? WHAT'S going on.

>>i swear i misspelled it TwT i'll correct

All this time on the clock

I think it's time to reset

Im gonna (attempt to) make this scene in blender 3d (+animate it)

TwT

Wish me luck cause this will take time and my remaining nervous system

Because im just so normal about Monstrosity Kai

Thinking about the time me and my homies roleplayed the ninja in primary school back in around like 2014 during a camp trip and

I was Lloyd for like 3 days right-

Once i was late to our little cabin from idk just walking around near the forest, and all of my fellow ninja classmates (it was Kai who started it, Kai i remember you!!!) decided to start plotting:

"GUYS, LETS BEAT LLOYD UP HE'S LATE!"

And everyone joined in-

And once i returned to the cabin, I kid you not, witnessed Kai, Cole, Jay maybe except Zane all pop up from nowhere, chanting all in unison:

"BEAT HIM UP! BEAT HIM UP! BEAT HIM UP!"

And then they jumped me like it's jjk and started beating the shit out of me with pillows-

And it turned into the best pillow fights of my life

And best thing is-

When everything was in chaos and pillows were flying everywhere like my last braincell on a friday night, and i was being jumped like it's the tournament of elements,

Zane is just sitting it the middle of it

He's just sitting on a bed,

Legs crossed,

And in the most zen way, with feathers and pillows flying over him, sits with the meditative expression on his face.

And slowly eats his bag of chips...

HOLY SHIT-

I drew a lot about this guy🌪🌪🌪

The problem i always had with people saying Lloyd is 23 or something in dragons rising BUT mentally he's like 18

Or in Controversallized, he's 18 but mentally 16 or whatever,

Is that MENTAL AGE IS NOT LINEAR GUYS

I feel like people miss this and maturity as a concept.

Longer rant below

It was true at the beginning when he got aged up that he was ~8-10mentally and ~14physically, and for a while it was linear maybe, but mental age is more complex than a thing that follows your birthdays, take examples from real life.

A child under pressure, responsibility and a role they have to be forced to fill, with the addition of trauma will mature differently and faster.

Just like when a kid is stripped away from their family in real life, maybe due to war, abuse or financial reasons, the kid must learn the skills of older ages to manipulate their sourroundings to help them survive. That's forced maturity and a childhood lost.

People could be well in their 30s and have an 18yo more mature than them, its all about the conditions of growing up, and what hardships they had to adapt to.

Also, think about this: What does it even mean to be a specific age mentally? How does a mentally 23 yo differ from a mentally 18 yo person? Its very relative...

We can maybe see Lloyd act more unmature and childish than the others in pre oni trilogy seasons, but ultimately always trying to seem wiser than he actually was because then it was true that he got aged up, and his mental age didn't follow up for a while, but still maturity was expected of him. However i feel like that gradually fades away as we go further, and i firmly believe that his mental age has caught up to his physical a long time ago.

Even if tomorrow's tea never happened, he'd be more mature than his age due to the experiences he's lived through.

Also, mental age is NOT linear to behavioural skills.

The tomorrow's tea left effects on his social skills and behaviour, only because in addition to a fucked up early childhood, he literally skipped the late childhood development stages, arguably the most important one for learning social cues and learning to build connections, in addition to immediately being put into a situation of great responsibility, forcing him to learn all the skipped skills afterwards. And this arguably wasn't because he got aged up, it was the events he got put into. We can also see this in real life with people who were forced to grow up too fast.

If you were to make conversation with an adult who lacks certain aspects of social skills due to reasons, you wouldn't say they are unmature. You'd probably think they are maybe autistic, but not unmature.

And developmental holes are probably the source of many of his issues later on, like trust issues (on both ends, (w Pythor, Harumi, Akita, Garmadon post res), the inability to properly express empathy (DR s3pt1 when reacting to Arin's parent's death), or isolation in crisis (DR, Controversallized, Oni trilogy, Splinter in the Blind Man's Eye,...), and many others.

But these are NOT tied to maturity.

It's simply the effects (and mental health problems) due to one's development.

I'm not gonna go into the psychological aspect of the opposite, when people return to their childhood preferences/behavioural patterns after adulthood because they miss what they didn't have, because that is a different topic.

That being said people can still act younger in times, but thats normal, even healthy, and i'm all for preserving youthfullness. Heck i literally work in a club/bar but will play minecraft and build ninjago sets afterwards. If i see a cool bug i will pick it up and show it around, but that doesn't mean i won't be reliable at work or solve that differential equation for uni projects. Maturity is also the ability to act according to situation.

So... Now that i diverged this much

I don't believe that, and at the very least in dragons rising, that his mental age would be younger than his actual physical self. I believe after all the ninja went through, they long are all more mature than what an average person would be at their age.

And i hope to see that more highlighted in DR with Sora and Arin, (maybe even Wyfy). Sora was forced to mature a bit more than Arin was growing up, and that is apparent among them, with Arin acting like a typical ~15yo, while sora acts more young adult like. But I'm sure the pre ninja Arin and the Arin we'll get after s3 will be very different. Not because the passing of time, but the mental maturity he gained due to experiences (not necessarily positive ones).

But change my mind i guess

Welp, thx for reading my ramble, here is a potato
