Chase: If I Accidentally Sat On A Voodoo Doll Of Myself, Would I Be Trapped Forever In That Position,

I thought a lot lately what a Wicked x Xiaolin Showdown crossover would actually look like. If Chase is Elphaba, I imagine he'd have dragon features, maybe green dragon scales, so the green elixir Elphaba's Mom drank would be the Lao Mang Lone soup. Maybe he's a human-dragon hybrid, and he faces discrimination like all the other talking animals of Oz, then during Defying Gravity he finally embraces his full dragon form.

And that would make him the Wicked Dragon of the West.

Wait.

Anyways, Dashi would obviously be Fiyero, as a platonic common friend to both Chase and Guan, who's sort of stuck in the middle. Their personalities simply match too well.

Dojo would be Doctor Dillamond. When he gets taken away, Dashi drops his careless act and becomes an advocate for mystical creatures, trying to keep Chase safe in the process.

The Wizard of Oz is Jack, a young inventor who crash landed his jet into Oz, or his heli-pack was carried away by the wind, and everyone in Oz was so impressed with his mechanical creations they thought he had mad power. But Hanibal is really the master evil mind who secretly controls Jack.

Omi is the Cowardly Lion, except he's the Fierce Little Lion. You know, the Lion's whole deal was that he was big and fierce-looking but really a scaredy cat, so I thought it would be fun for Omi to be the exact opposite.

Kimiko is Dorothy and she really just wants to go back to Tokyo and her dad. In the original Wizard of Oz book Dorothy was much tougher than the movie and more resourceful, so I think it fits.

Clay can be the Scarecrow. I want him to be his own character because I really liked him in the book. He was the voice of reason amongst his friends. Also, yeah, he comes from a farm. Dashi can just come back as a ghost during the final act, I suppose.

And then there's Raimundo as the Tinman. We all know he's got a big heart under the cool exterior.

That leaves Nessarose, and just hear me out, trust me on this one. Nessa is Katnapee. She was born disabled and both her and Chase were abandoned by their parents for their "deformities" (they can be different parents, they don't have to be related by blood) and left on the Xiaolin Temple's doorstep where they were more or less raised by Master Fung. Katnapee never gave a hoot about being in a wheelchair, and that thing can really gather speed, but she had always been jealous of Chase's animal features because she always wanted to be a cat, and not just wear a costume.

Master Fung doesn't necessarily have a favorite, he's equally distant to both of them, but he asked Chase to keep her out of trouble when they went to school because of Katnapee's mischievous tendencies.

When Chase tapped into his powers, he was able to turn her into a real panther. She still has her wheels like those for disabled cats or dogs, but she's having the time of her life.

No need for a romantic interest. Katnapee absolutely does not need a reason to go mad with power. Chase is half proud half terrified of the monster he's created, but he's too busy fighting the government with Dashi.

So anyway, this all sounds fun. I don't know if I'll ever be able to write a full fic around these concepts, but at least now I won't forget them.

Oh, also Wuya is Madame Morrible. This is an easy one.

That's a great idea, but I always lived under the impression that Chase was the one cooking all that food. I mean evil princes of darkness do need hobbies, especially when they've been around for 1500 years and they have so much time on their hands.

But then again, the mere idea of Chase Young teaching his jungle cats how to bake cupcakes is both hilarious and something I could actually see him do.

Just putting this out there... if you wrote a crack fic about Chase trying to convince Omi to come to the darkside because the darkside has cookies I would def read it...

There was that one Omi from Ring of the Nine Dragons that really, really liked cookie dough... 

And if Dojo’s any indication, the cookies that Chase’s jungle cats makes are really good... 

Maybe this was the real way to win Omi over all along... haha, just kidding... unless...?!

Haha, but I really might just have to write that sometime, it sounds like a funny idea! It’ll probably be a short one, but I hope you’ll look forward to it!

I just watched the first 6 episodes of Ninjago Dragons Rising Season 2 that came out in Germany (I learnt some German as a kid so I understood about half of what they were saying) and I'd like to give just one minor early spoiler.

You know how some of us have been complaining for years that for as much as Lloyd's been traumatized season after season, villain after villain, it doesn't really affect his personality or mental stability all that much? Like for the most part, Lloyd is pretty chill, reasonable, wise even, and that's great. I always liked that about him and watching him grow into this person over the last 10+ years has been nothing short of amazing. I'm seriously so proud of the little green dude, but sometimes I feel like the writers are afraid to really dive into the long lasting effects this kind of trauma would normally have on someone's mental health. Probably since it's a kids show and they think they can't handle this sort of thing, although some kids face some pretty traumatic experiences in real life which really should be acknowledged more.

Anyway, they finally did it, THEY GAVE MY BOY ANXIETY!!! 🥳🎉

Like actual panic attacks, he even calls them that! They usually don't last very long and he can snap out of them relatively quickly, but they are handled pretty well and well integrated into the story.

Also, Nya is Lloyd's emotional support (yay Dragon Siblings), like she's been since Hunted or Sons of Garmadon actually. She's the one Lloyd opens up to the most and she's the first to notice whenever something bothers him.

It can be as subtle as a glance, a smile or a touch on the shoulder, but Nya always knows how to comfort Lloyd, and this just makes me so happy

Anyway, this season's been great so far and I can't wait for the rest of the episodes to come out. Sorry for ranting

Dashi: We need a plan to beat them.

Chase: Okay, listen up. First, we fill their shoes with wet cat food.

Dashi:

Guan: Wait, is this why my sandals feel extra slippery?

Chase: Judge me all you want. I get results.

Hey, now that Chamille's back, wouldn't it be fun if Lloyd tapped into his Oni heritage shape shifting power?

Imagine them changing into each other just to point out how ugly they are like good old rivals

Tang: You're smiling. What happened?

Pigsy: What? Can't I smile just because I feel like it?

MK: Monkie King tripped and fell down the stairs today.

Wait, what if we were all wrong about it?

I just remembered these have been a trend for quite some time now

What if the Ninjago Live Action movie is gonna be just some random guy adopting the ninja in CGI lego minifig form and going on a road trip together or something?
