God he is everything to me
Anyone who talks about Jaya with kids and says that Nya would not be the dad and Jay would not be the mom are wrong. Full-stop.
Jay is the one driving the soccer mom minivan. He is the one who is making sure that everything is packed correctly and no, Nya, he did not play ten years worth of Tetris for you to pack the car like a fucking lunatic. Everything must be rearranged to fit in as tightly as it possibly can. The cooler must be left accessible.
Nya is also definitely the parent who passes on the responsibility of saying no.
Kid: Mama, can I eat candy for dinner?
Nya: did you ask your father?
Jay: No! You cannot have candy for dinner!
Everyone says that Jay would be the one to indulge his kids but I honestly think it would be Nya. She didn't have parents growing up, and she had to grow up really fast, so she would want her kids to have as much fun as possible when they're young.
On the other hand, Jay recognizes the gaps in his upbringing, and wants to try and be a good dad. He's old enough to recognize that a lot of the discipline his parents did was good for him and that kids need it in their lives, even if he would love to indulge them like Nya does.
So yeah, give me tired and stressed stay-at-hom soccer mom Jay who drives a minivan and loves it. Give me chill as fuck dad Nya who lets pretty much anything fly and would probably join in your shenanigans.
Would like to point out that Jay is canonically used as a portable charger
COLE AND NYA FANS HOW ARE WE FEELING!????
had to throw this together because UGH! Yes I am jumping headfirst, I am putting the clown make up, my wig is ON. The Formling and the serpentine are Cole’s kids and he has to present them to his bestie.
in the meantime I am calling them Rocky and Junior, for the formling and the serpentine. Idk what gender they are, so if the serpentine is a girl they would be Lily Junior, if guy then Cole jr.
UGH PART TWO LOOKS LIKE IS GOING TO BE GREAT!
Okay I have to know, is it just me, or do y’all get this giddy feeling when Ninjago confirms smthg small?? This show likes to either heavily imply things or leave stuff up to the imagination a lot, so it’s nice when things are explicitly said.
Or in other words;
✨Small canon things in Ninjago that aren’t necessarily important to the plot, but important to me✨

I'll be your host, you may call me ZipZap! They/Them for the pronouns!
We're here to see who is the most favourable, not the best!! But the most favourable character who uses primarily Electricity/Lightning within their character!!!
Inspirations: @bestcharacterwithfirepowers @pinkhairswagtourney @outofthisworldbracket
Rules!! Borrowed and edited from @bestcharacterwithfirepowers!
1. No real people please or live action characters please.
2. Please submit a character once. However, feel free to submit different characters as much as you'd like.
3. Characters must canonically fit into at least one of the 3 following categories:
a) A true Lightning Elemental. Electricity/Lightning is incorporated into their design and they are essentially either made of electricity/lightning or have electricity/lightning as part of their core design. Light may also fulfill this rule, I will decide on a case-by-case basis so it’s worth submitting them anyway. (Example: Yellow ChuChus From The Legend Of Zelda)
b) Lightning powers. Essentially, Electrokinesis or something similar involving electricity/lightning. Technology/Robotic characters, Light, and Speed based characters may fulfill this and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. (Example: Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon)
c) Associated strongly with Lightning/Electricity. A character who is constantly electrocuting things, uses weapons that can exert an electrical charge, is obsessed with electricty/lightning, or something similar. (Example: Mitsune Miwa from Magia Record)
If any of these rules lead you to having a question, feel free to always ask me!
I also have every right, as host of this tournament, to deny any character submitted.
I’m rewatching tournament of elements and I love how Jay randomly breaks his leg and then it just randomly heals the next episode. Like??? Literally what was the purpose of that LMAO
Jay could have been doing these things for the 5 years since the merge and I find it beautiful.
Especially because in one way or another they all include angst.
The funny part is that I remember from the beginning of DR that people theorized that Cole would adopt some children after the merge and that ended up being true.
