“Why do you beat yourself up so much over little mistakes?”
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
Okay, we've got height headcanons, face headcanons...but you know what we need? Name headcanons.
Okay, yes, I know, the ninja already have names. But their names originate from Earth cultures and Earth languages, which, uh, don't exist in Ninjago. Like!! The name 'Lloyd' is Welsh, but Wales isnt a place on the Ninjago map! And 'Zane' is German - but again, Germany doesn't exist in this fictional fantasy world either. How can Zane's name be German if Germany is nowhere on the Ninjago map?
Realistically I know this is because this show has painfully messy worldbuilding and they gave all the main characters simple European names that their young American audience would be able to easily identify and pronounce. BUT I love to overthink things so that's what I'm gonna do.
Logic would dictate that although their names have specific cultural contexts within our world, they have different contexts and origins within the world of the story. Their names would logically have some kind of different meaning in relation to the cultures, languages, and dialects that exist within Ninjago itself.
This is already canon, to some extent. The name 'Nya' already has a canon in-universe origin, with her being named after a legendary Merlopian hero - from this we can assume the name Nyad and its derivative Nya are Merlopian in origin. Which suggests the idea that the same is true for all the other characters as well, we just haven't gotten the chance to get backstories for their names yet. And there is so much untapped potential in exploring what their names could mean in-universe.
Here, I'll start with my own personal headcanons about the subject:
Most names in this series come from 'Classical Ninjargon', the ancient dialect that was spoken in the time of the FSM but gradually evolved into Modern Ninjargon, which is the dialect commonly spoken by the characters to this day. However, a lot of words, terms, and names still rely in some part on their classical roots.
'Kai' isn't really a name, so much as it is a noun. It's commonly used in the names of towns and villages. For example, Jamanakai Village. 'Kai' means 'shelter' - or, more specifically, 'a form of barrier or protection that defends against cold weather.' It's not a very common name to give to children, though, but it appears in the names of villages and settlements all across Ninjago. It seems fitting, considering the kind of person Kai is. His parents gave him that name as a reference to its more specific meaning. Shelter from the cold. During the Serpentine War, Ray and Maya's dreams of starting a family were what gave them comfort and kept them going. Kai wasnt just named as a shelter from the cold, but a shelter from despair as well.
Nya's name has its obvious origins - she was named after Nyad, the storybook hero who befriended whales and defeated Wojira. Nyad was also Merlopian, where her name means 'courage'. Likewise, Nya's name has similar connotations. Of course, Maya hadn't known that meaning when she named her child, as Merlopia was just a myth and its language much the same. She did know of the fairytale, though, and Maya's own mother had told her that story as a child, so she wanted to give her daughter a name that was meaningful in that same way.
'Jay' comes from a regional dialect of Classical Ninjargon that became prevalent in the Sea of Sands. The name itself originates from the term 'jairu', meaning "blessed storm." Some historians speculate the name goes back further than that, with the term 'jairu' originally meaning "Wojira's favor"...but there is much debate about that. Both Jay and Jairu are pretty popular names in the Sea of Sands. Jay was an unexpected but highly valued gift to Ed and Edna, just as a rainstorm is in a desert.
'Cole' was originally the word for earth/dirt, but over the centuries its frequent use in Classical poetry led to it acquiring a myriad of more specific meanings - 'solid foundation', 'stable ground', 'dependable and reliable', 'steady and unshaken amidst conflict', etc. The word itself has a lot of very poetic, very vivid interpretations, and when most people name their children 'cole', thats what they're referencing. But not Lily. No, she knew the name historically meant 'earth', and she wanted his name to be a pun. It was 100% intentional
'Zane' isnt so much a name as it is a colloquial term, from the Birchwood region. Even though the word has Classical roots, it still remains widely used in that region. The word 'zane', a noun, is in reference to the constant, unmelting snowcover that blankets the region year-round. In Classical Ninjargon the term means, "endlessly persevering" - but over time it became repurposed as their term for their endless snow. Dr. Julien always thought the snow was beautiful, and named his son after its remarkable endurance
Lloyd's name has an interesting history to it. In the time of the Stone Wars, when the FSM initially split Ninjago and sealed away the Overlord, the people of that era celebrated the occasion by turning it into a holiday. They called it "belloid", which Classically means "victory over darkness." Eventually a new tradition emerged where children who were born on the holiday were named after it - and so the name "lloyd" came to be. And although the holiday evolved and is now more commonly known as Festival Day (yes, thats a canon holiday), with its history and origins fading out of public awareness, the tradition still persists. But heres the catch: Lloyd wasnt born on that holiday. His dad's reasons for naming him Lloyd were twofold. First, because he made a promise to himself to resist the venom's corruption for the sake of his son, and the name "victory over darkness" served as a testament to that promise. And second, because 'lloyd' sounds like 'lord', and giving his child a pun name sounds exactly like something Garm would do
And of course, since the ninjas' rise to fame, they have inspired some increasingly popular baby names. 'Lloyd' has been the baby name of the year for four years in a row now, which is something the others tease him relentlessly for.
11 pm idea that hit me one night (might have been done before but hey, here's my turn at the idea) Izuku is transported back into his Five year old self, and has the chance to do everything all over again; and makes things right this time...
But there are several problems getting in the way of saving everyone, namely that he's a quirkless five year old, that has none of his friends, allies or strength he had in his teens. All of them don't know he exist, plus half of them are toddlers. There's also a lot of stuff that won't happen until much later, not to mention he isn't sure how a lot of stuff came to be. He has no idea how Dabi survived were toga grew up, and Tomura has already killed his family four years prior and is living somewhere with All for One.
He knows won't get OFA until he's fifteen, and he's not even sure he might this time around. Because changing history means that All Might won't get injured and never have a reason to pass it on. Getting it when he's four would be impossible since he's young, and because people might not believe him when he say's he from the future, and can he blame them?
So after thinking over all the options, Izuku decides that if he can't be a hero, then he's going to be a villain...or at least pretend to be one so that he can stop the villains before they become huge threats. Basically Izuku decides to fight fire with fire, which he cranks up to 100 because he know a way to get a strong power that could go toe to toe with All for One and the person to go to get it from.
So Izuku sneaks into All for One doctors office and get's a hold of the replica of All for One quirk, with added hijinks. Now Izuku my have the replica nicely stored away in a glass tube, but he doesn't know how to acquire it... so he just decides to eat it because it worked the first time.
It's not meant to work like that, but for Izuku it does, after falling sick for like three days. Because eating a quirk wasn't the best idea. But who cares Izuku now got All for One, foresight on future events and his New villain career to kick off at the ripe old age of five.
And boy does he go off with a bang, by breaking Nagant out of Tartarus (Izuku needed a body guard, and Nagant was innocent), convincing hawks to run away from the HC (it was Nagant idea really) and recruiting the number two hero eldest son (Well Toya more recruited himself) among other things.
This unsurprisingly, this get's All for One's attention, but Izuku sure that he won't get caught because who would expect "quirkless five year old Deku" to the the next be up and coming villain? Apparently All for One, because the guy awkwardly walks in to his preschool one day, picks him up and is both quite shocked and amused to find this villain, that's been causing the Hero commission so much strife, is just a four year old boy.
Izuku thinks this might be the end, but instead of snipping of this bud before it grow, All for One decides he'll let Izuku keep doing what he's doing, because the whole things amusing. Except Izuku still "only a baby, not quite a big bad villain yet" so All for One will be "probably supervising" Izuku growth into villainy.
Izuku doesn't know weather to yell in joy at getting a one up on All for One or scream in anguish that now he's got the worst villain in the world making him his personal pet project.
Izuku decides to burn that bridge when he get's there.
I have more of this AU if anyone wants to know about it, but just baby toddler villain Izuku getting followed around by his older villain father, during his first errands. All dress up in his preschool uniform carry several books on "how to commit crimes and get away with it" well telling AFO to buzz off.
If you’re mad it will be only because you know I am correct.
Alright alright, I fold, here’s one of those “Look how far they’ve come” posts. It was interesting to try and compare the old designs with the new ones.
Generally, I think most of them started out at around 13-14 at the beginning of the show (except Lloyd and Nya, who were younger.) and since they are in “adult teenager” hell until further notice, they are now in the 19-21 age range. I have set ages in my head, but I’ll let y’all play around with what you think!!
I grew up along side these kids, so drawing this was so nostalgic, Thank you Wu for teaching literal children to save the world <3
P.S – click for better quality ;)
zane: the only acceptable icing is buttercream. whipped icing is a cowards choice, and people who use fondant are demons and must meet me in the street-- for their poor life choices have led them to accept play doh as acceptable cake decoration.
cole: turn on your location and we can talk.
zane: i hope you understand sign language then, friend, because all you will be seeing is hands.
kai: damn shits getting real in the cake decorating fandom

Potatoes are neat, right? You know what else is neat? Expanding video upload limits. So we went ahead and did that.
Here are the deets:
Videos posted per day: 10 → 20
Video upload size limit: 100MB → 500MB
Single Video time limit: 5 minutes → 10 minutes
Total Video time limit per day: 5 minutes → 60 minutes
Now you can watch all nine minutes and thirty-five seconds of a potato cooking in a microwave. Because that’s how long it takes.
🥔 Potatoes were harmed during the making of this video. 🥔
Oh god. That’s 1 5 years of your nonsense. Don’t worry—it comes as a surprise to literally all of us that the world continued to do its thing, bringing us to this point.
So, how you been keeping since we celebrated the big one-oh, well, five years ago now?
A bratty teenager at heart, Tumblr has remained the same hellsite you’ve always made it: with your faves, aesthetics, and fandoms, your blogs and sideblogs, your reblog chains and tag conversations. Some of you will have been here for The Dress and the ball pit; some of you know those as lore but only come here for the sexymen and, idk, bees, the bee movie. And you’re all valid.
Throughout February, we’ll be reblogging some of the most iconic reblog chains from our time here with you to @best-of-reblogs. To kick it all off, here is a selection of ~moments~ y’all have manifested. You obviously don’t need us to talk about this—you do that enough among yourselves. But, for heritage purposes, here’s the lowdown anyhow. Don’t mind us while we lurk in the back with the popcorn.

Friends.
We all learned that friends come in many shapes and sizes—some of your favorite friend shapes are frogs, Furbies, worms-on-a-string, and orbs.
You asked your faves a bazillion questions.
You’ve asked Neil Gaiman about your ineffable husband headcanons, Joseph Gordon-Levit for filmmaking tips, and Taylor Swift about re-recording her albums and the provenance of Meredith and Olivia’s names. All ask answerers have remained equal here, where follower counts are private, and “influencer” is a dirty word.
Standing up for what’s right.
In the last five years, you continued to fight for net neutrality. You worked towards making the internet a safer, kinder, and more joyful space. You’ve celebrated and lamented three very different US presidents. You’ve rallied in the face of racism, learning from and educating each other.
All the memes.
From Superputinelection to the disruption of the international shipping trade, you learned about real-world happenings right here on Tumblr. You remixed reality with the best of ’em in a celebration of new traditions and old—some now illegal to scroll past without reblogging, while reblogging others constitutes a crime. Then there’s the homegrown variety lurking in the depths of tags and posts that couldn’t go viral anywhere but here.
Cottagecore Aesthetics.
You started craving the simpler things in life—the woods, frogs, dresses with aprons, gingham, homemade pies—in an unforeseen age that made living those dreams impossible outside of moodboards, Animal Crossing, and Stardew Valley. Your cottagecore hopes and dreams fueled the Radar and log-in screen.
Destiel goes canon.
In what became one of the biggest moments on Tumblr in the last five years, Destiel went canon. Many times. In many languages. In memes, on your televisions, on your blogs. For decade-long fans of Supernatural and non-fans with transdimensional cracks in their dashboards, November 5 became A Day in 2020.
~
In the five years since we celebrated our first decade, you created 170,926,810 new blogs, made 40,798,681,685 new posts, and liked 75,280,353,933 posts, both old and new. You made each other cringe, celebrated the mundane and the extraordinary with your Fuck Yeah blogs, and shared many cursed things we are unable to utter here.
All this to say, come celebrate with us. Stay tuned for some historic reblogs throughout this month of February in the year of the orb, 2022.
Stay weird, Tumblr. You’re doin’ great.
Some class 1-H headcanons for peace of mind:
Hanabusa watches nature documentaries to calm down.
Endomoto really likes trains and railways of all kinds
Hanabusa makes his own tea leaves. Endomoto likes to help harvest them. Hanabusa enjoys the company.
The entire class let a bunch of slinkies loose down the stairs, but Power Loader covered for them, saying that it was for "experimental purposes"
Hatsume isn't the only reason why Power Loader has a few more gray hairs since the start of the year.
Bushida really hates sudden loud noises.
It reminds him too much of when he lost his leg.
This puts a tiny strain on his and Hatsume's friendship at first, but Hatsume tries to tone down the noise, and eventually, Bushida gets used to it.
Daguchi knits, and when he concentrates, he stays awake for hours, just steadily knitting.
Tucker likes lavender ice cream.
Chinen's parents are divorced, and she hasn't seen her mother in a very long time.
Chinen and Hatsume did not get along for a good chunk of their first year, mainly due to creative/personality differences.
Despite Tucker's quiet and shy nature, she really likes dressing pastel colours.
Endomoto had a crush on Chinen around the beginning of first year, but ultimately realised that he likes her better as a friend.
Daguchi, Tucker, Hatsume, and Hanabusa are the sarcasm team of class 1-H
Chinen, Endomoto, and Bushida are the "Kill 'em with kindness" trio
They're a very tight-knit group; mainly because they're a small class.
When Endomoto isn't concentrating, sometimes little puffs of steam escape from his mouth.
Hatsume goes to Hanabusa and Tucker to get her locs retwisted.
Chinen has a horrible vendetta against pomegranates. Nobody knows why, and they're afraid to ask.
Hanabusa is very close with his grandmother. In contrast, Chinen is very close to her grandfather.
Hatsume's eyes glow in the dark. She has scared everyone in her class at least once, just by sitting in the dark kitchen of the dorms.
Their heights go from this order (tallest to shortest):
Bushida, Hanabusa, Tucker, Daguchi, Endomoto, Hatsume, Chinen.
Daguchi tends to lean on people a lot. Taller or shorter, it doesn't matter.
Endomoto cannot tie his tie properly, and it drives Daguchi insane.
He has a bit of a baby face
Tucker gestures with her hands a lot when she speaks.
It's very difficult to tell when Tucker and Hanabusa are joking.
Bushida is pretty tall and intimidating, but he has the personality of a golden retriever.
Out of all the students, Daguchi has the most connections to the upperclassmen, which everyone else is mystified with.
They have all called Power Loader "Dad" on purpose at least once.
