So what else is going on during the Elemental Fighters AU?
Hi anon! Just wanted to say that my day has been going absolutely horrible and this ask cheered me up, so thanks for that!
Honestly, this AU kind of just started out as a joke, so I don’t have many actual plot points, but I’m more than happy to talk about what I have currently!
Okay so I already mentioned to @prime-pulse that I think it would be really funny if when they’re all dropping out of the plane onto the island to hunt Nya, Chen didn’t add any extra parachutes for Clouse. So when it gets down to the last parachute, the only ones left without on are Clouse, Garmadon, and Lloyd. Naturally, it turns into a free for all. Garmadon is fighting Lloyd to get him to take the parachute, Lloyd is fighting Garmadon to take the parachute, Clouse is fighting both of them for the parachute, etc.
I want to have lots of Garmadad and Garmason angst with them now being pitted against each other and Garmadon dealing with this new chaotic power that encourages him to fight and get involved in conflict when he really doesn’t want to fight anymore, but so far most of the AU is just season 4 except Garmadon and Clouse are duking it out in the background the whole time (well more than usual for that season anyway).
One thing Leaf and I wanted to make a comic about is Clouse (unknowingly) being the buffer between Garmadon and Lloyd being pitted against each other because every time Chen turns his back, Clouse is rearranging the fights so that he and Garmadon are opponents. Chen probably noticed after like the 10th time and is just like…. Well I wanted drama and to create strain in the father-son relationship, but this is so much better
Hmmmm another thing I want to be apart of it is maybe some Clouse angst? Like towards the season finale (this is @prime-pulse’s idea btw) Chen kind of lumps Clouse in with the other elemental masters and betrays him (cue Garmadon dragging Clouse kicking and screaming into a redemption arc and by redemption arc I mean becoming the weird uncle who only appears during family reunions and reads in the corner the whole time)
I would also want to explore Clouse vs. Garmadon fighting styles. Garmadon practices the art of the silent fist, but Clouse is freakishly fast and strong, not to mention his dark magic. Add in the fact that Garmadon’s powers feed on conflict and hatred and he could potentially exhaust himself quicker while refusing to fight because of that, etc, etc.
Honestly at this point I’m just throwing everything at the wall and I don’t really have a plot. I would absolutely love to finesse the story and possibly make an Elemental Fighters AU ask blog, but right now motivation has been in low supply and I got kneecapped by a new fandom, so I hesitate to do that in fear of creating an ask blog, posting 1 or 2 things and then just vanishing. But feel free to send in asks because I still have a lot of Thoughts about this AU and I would love to share!
(Oh and I should add that when Leaf and I first thought of this it was seriously just Garmadon and Clouse throwing hands every ten seconds, but then @keliharuza opened my eyes to the Garmafam angst! Thank you, it’s really helped the AU grow)
Please imagine the "Only One Can Remain" scene in the elemental fighters au where Chen is like. "Only one can remain, and that one is ME!!" Except since Clouse is with the fighters he’s sort of "given up" his position by Chen's side in Chen's mind, since now he’s apart of the Tournament & no longer his right hand guy. If that makes sense . Either way could lead to Clouse blaming Garmadon & still being banished or him begrudgingly teaming up w/ the ninja !! yk !
OOOOOH! I HADN’T THOUGHT OF THAT! Clouse would probably feel at least a little bit betrayed, because y’know he asked Chen for permission to join the tournament, so he might think that he and Chen were still on the same side! And as for him blaming Garmadon or joining the ninja, why not both? Blaming Garmadon and them getting into a fight, but Garm forcing him to realize that he has no choice other than to join the ninja!
Hey uhhhh if this reaches the person who uploaded my art to Pinterest without my knowledge and didn’t credit me, I’d really like it if you didn’t do that. Please at least credit me next time.
Edit: Found the name of the account. Ninjago _Lover, I’d really appreciate it if you would at least credit me.
So @leafdragon16 and I have been developing an AU that we like to call the Elemental Fighters AU, where basically Sensei Garmadon ends up joining the Tournament of Elements as the Elemental Master of Destruction and because Clouse has decided that Sensei G is Not Allowed To Have Nice Things, he persuades Chen to let him join the Tournament as well to counter Garmadon (and lots of shenanigans ensue. Elaborated on a little bit more here https://prime-pulse.tumblr.com/post/659092677064900608/ok-so-not-really-a-headcanon-but-frost-and-i, @prime-pulse come get y’all juice)
So here’s Garmadon’s gi designs for the Tournament, there’s 3 with and without mask variations. I wanted to give him one but got attached to all the designs so I decided “hey, why not have all 3?”
Leaf and I will probably make more about this, so keep an eye out for it in the future! (If you’re interested of course, no pressure :) )
I’m so normal about their friendship I promise
They’re taking a nap between battles :)

The Three Oni Warlords
I have an ask blog now! It’s @ask-the-oni-warlords
This is the profile pic for it! The asks are currently closed because I have to figure everything out, and I need to finish two pages for the introduction.
(Thank you to my sister @frost-the-ice-dragon for coming up with Venge and Ha’eed’s designs, since I am TERRIBLE at character design ._. )
Guess who’s back after months of being gone! I have a few different posts to make, but this will be the first. Also, a lot of these drawings were made months apart so the art style is a bit fluid.
First up, I’ve been trying to figure out how to draw characters from Rescue Bots (see: my favorites). Kade is the first newest attempt!
Then we have, of course, High Tide
Reference picture I relied heavily on:
And a shitpost!
That’s all for this post, but I promise there’s more to come! I might space updates out over days because I don’t want to flood anyone’s dash suddenly!
So I’ve been having a hard time with motivation to draw and the only thing that has helped so far is drawing this dude. So I have a Lot of stuff about him. I’m just going to start with my least favorite sketches and move to my favorite ones.
2nd and 3rd time I ever attempted drawing him. As you can see I am not used to drawing robots. I have the first but it was too painful to post because of how bad it is lmao
These are more recent, I just don’t like them hghgnfbhdhd
And these three are my favorites, please ignore the doodles lmao
Pspspspsppspspspspps hey
Drawing requests are open if y’all want anything
