Omg that is super cute 

This is why Pixane is my number one fav ship

Oh, this is too great!!! I love this!!

I just had to reblog this since it gets me thinking about what might have happened to Pixal in the merge!

She would have gone bad because of something or someone (or even getting controlled) and not knowing who she truly was.

I feel like this would link to what someone mentioned recently in a post about how Jay would have amnesia and how it might as well have happened to Pixal and she might have got memory loss as well

This would link to one of the theories I had about whereabouts Pixal might be after the merge

''You either die as an hero,or live long enough to see yourself becoming a villian''

Aww that is just cute!

ANYWHO, WU AND PIXAL BONDING TIME IS CANON

Time and again, Pixal is placed in a position of watching Zane suffer/die, and trying to save him, even as early as season 3. Their first real bonding moment happens while she's repairing him. And not long after that, she rescues him from being dropped into a metal shredder. Then in season 4 she helps him get his memory back, and in season 6 she defends him from the Mechanic trying to scrap him for spare parts. And that's all before she became Samurai X - a role she only took on because Zane had been shut down and was out of commission.

Since becoming Samurai X, she's had to deal with the aftermath of Zane being presumed dead aboard the destroyed Bounty, his banishment at the hands of Aspheera, and then later the Mechanic abducting him and electrocuting him to near-death.

The long and short of it is, Zane has been through a lot, and whenever something bad happens, Pixal gets front-row tickets to watch it all unfold.

Naturally, this has left an impact on her emotional state. And I think the nightmare she experienced in season 11 (shortly after Zane was banished to the Never Realm) showcases this best:

The nightmare depicts Zane holding onto Pixal for dear life, desperation and fear on his face as she's the only thing keeping him from falling into the white abyss below. But then, something causes Zane to slip from her grasp, and he falls beyond her reach, with her flailing helplessly, unable to save him.

Again and again Pixal has watched him die. Again and again she has lost him. In her mind, no matter what she does, no matter how hard she tries to protect him or how tightly she holds on, something will happen that will tear Zane away from her again, and she will be powerless to stop it.

It's not unreasonable to assume that Pixal considers Zane's safety her own personal responsibility, and blames herself whenever something happens to him. Note in particular the way Zane is characterized in her dream - desperate, afraid, with her as the only thing keeping him from falling into the abyss. And when she fails to hold onto him, she is - quite literally - letting him down.

Now that on its own is enough material to keep my poor Pixal Stan heart beating for months. But there are a few more details I think are worth mentioning.

First - the abyss dream!Zane falls into seems vaguely reminiscent of the ice torrent he falls into at the end of season 3. Here's a side-by-side comparison for reference:

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but you gotta admit the similarities are at least a little bit uncanny. If we're following this train of thought, then this may suggest that Pixal not only feels responsible for her inability to save Zane from Aspheera, but also blames herself for Zane's death in his battle against the Overlord. Or at the very least, she's noticed enough similarities between both instances of losing Zane that her mind is subconsciously projecting them.

Either way, it's safe to say Pixal is almost definitely traumatized from past experiences of watching Zane die. I mean, let's not forget that Zane's fight against the Overlord was, as far as we know, her first real experience with death, and Zane didn't exactly die peacefully.

Another thing to note is that the version of Aspheera in her dreams wasn't trapped in ice, but rather standing freely and unharmed. On the left is how she appeared in Pixal's dream, and on the right is what her actual condition was when she banished Zane.

It could just be an inconsequential dream thing, but idk since we're overanalyzing things here I want to make the comment that it almost erases Zane's conflict with her - how Zane had fought her (and her entire army) and won, and was only banished due to her breaking her arm out of the ice when he had his back turned. But in Pixal's dream, that context is removed, with only Aspheera standing there as powerful as can be, blasting Zane seemingly without prompt.

The reason why this is noteable is that the abyss scene and that singular shot of Aspheera are the only two moments in her dream that aren't exact recordings of the events that transpired. Everything else in her dream is just an exact, near-flawless memory of what happened - except for the abyss scene and the moment when Aspheera blasts Zane. For some reason, Pixal's dream ignored all of Zane's involvement in that fight, and disregarded the fact that Zane had already defeated her.

There are two possible meanings of this:

She views Aspheera as an intimidating individual, and the version of Aspheera in her memory reflects Pixal's feelings about her. She views Aspheera as a strong, formidable, and terrifying opponent. A bogeyman of sorts. Aspheera is Pixal's bogeyman

Pixal is subconsciously victimizing Zane. And yes, he is a victim in this situation - but just moments before his banishment he had successfully incapacitated not just Aspheera but all of her soldiers as well. Her dream not only largely neglects to acknowledge his involvement in the fight itself, but his contributions to Aspheera's defeat - effectively cementing Zane's victim status further into Pixal's mind

With all this in mind, I think it's not unreasonable to say that Pixal, on some unconscious level, views Zane as a victim whose safety she is responsible for. I don't think she has this viewpoint intentionally, and I think Pixal is aware of Zane's competence and respects his merits as a teammate, a hero, and a partner. I'm not making the case that Pixal thinks so little of Zane that he can't stand up for himself.

But I do think that, after years of watching Zane suffer and having to look after him, her experiences have begun to affect her view on not just Zane, but herself as well - with her subconscious hinting to her in subtle ways that Zane is someone she needs to protect, and that his protection is her responsibility.

In a way, I think Pixal views her responsibility for Zane's wellbeing in a similar way that Kai views his responsibility for Nya and Lloyd - you know they're skilled fighters in their own right, and that they can look after themselves, but you will still blame yourself first and foremost if any harm comes to them because you feel like it's your job to protect them.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that Pixal has a savior complex targeted primarily at Zane, deriving from years of trauma involving his repeated deaths and her repeated inability to save him, and in this essay I will -

He just wants his brothers comfort 😔

That is beautiful 

Ninjago: Zane’s Christmas Wish

Written for: @ninjagofluffytrashbin  - Merry Christmas, and here’s my Secret Santa gift for you!!

“Eggnog, anyone?”

Twinkling lights filled the room, ambient Christmas music played softly, and each member of the team was decked out in holiday spirit. It was the perfect mood for eggnog, but maybe not from Cole.

Cole, who was wearing a sparkly Santa hat, rolled his eyes at the grumbling crowd as he held two glasses of creamy drink. “I promise, straight out of the carton. I didn’t touch it up at all.”

After that remark, people began to accept drinks. Lloyd passed one to his mom and Ronin, only glancing at Dareth who was snoozing on the couch. Jay and Nya took theirs and clinked them together with a smile. Borg turned his down, but Kai and Skylor took theirs with a grin, only to quickly hide them behind their backs and sneak some brown liquid into each of theirs. Cole raised his eyebrows towards Zane, but he politely declined.

“What does eggnog taste like?” the familiar warm voice only Zane could hear asked. “I think it tastes like creamy milk,” Zane responded. “But I have never tried it. It’s very bad for my body.”

PIXAL giggled, making Zane smile. He loved that sound. “I’m sure it’s bad for their bodies too.”

It didn’t seem like it as the team all downed their eggnog quickly. Jay gagged instantly. “COLE! WHY DOES MY EGGNOG TASTE LIKE CREAMY SOUP??”

The room burst into laughter, jolting Dareth awake, but also making the room more joyful than thought possible. “Oh, you got that one?” Cole called from the kitchen.

This year was the first annual Christmas party in the new headquarters for the ninja, the Temple of Airjitzu. They could finally host a fifteen foot tree in the main floor of the temple, which was covered from head to toe with fruit-colored tinsel (one for each ninja color), multicolored lights, and ornaments of all shapes and sizes. On the top of the tree sat Master Wu’s hat, mainly in memory of his spirit, since he was still lost in time.

Zane loved Christmas because not only was the environment constantly gorgeous to look at, but all of his friends just seemed happier. It was also PIXAL’s favorite holiday because she was curious about all the traditions and wonders of the season. It was always a joy to explain some little detail of Christmas to the curious mind of his love. However, the one thing he desired most was unobtainable for him. I was only a damper on his spirit though, he did already have everything he wanted smiling at him in his head.

Jay was still spitting and gagging from his pranked drink while the room was still chuckling at his silly reaction. “I’ll go get you some water, Jay,” Nya patted his leg before walking through the doorway to the kitchen. Unfortunately, she bumped into Cole coming back out with two glasses of eggnog at the door. They both froze when their shoulders collided, both of their faces going pale.

A collected gasp rose from the room, then everyone went silent. Even Jay swallowed his disgustingly flavored spit to gawk at what just happened.

Cole and Nya stared at each other before slowly looking up at the small green plant hanging above them.

“I hate mistletoe,” both Cole and Nya said under their breath in unison.

They awkwardly looked over at the group, who were all awkwardly looking back at them. “Uh,” Cole spoke out-loud, then tried to take a step away from the doorway.

A cry rose from the party forcing Cole to freeze. “That’s the mistletoe, Cole!” Kai snickered next to Skylor. “It’s sacred! Remember when I got stuck under there with Jay?”

“Let’s not bring that up ever again,” Jay wheezed on the couch. His cheeks were crimson red.

Dareth began to dig into his pocket. “I’ve gotta get a picture of this,” he muttered. Ronin and Lloyd nodded, each with a grin.

“I love mistletoe,” PIXAL whispered to Zane. He hesitated before agreeing.

Cole and Nya slowly looked back at each other. “This is embarrassing,” she whispered.

“You’re telling me,” he whispered back. Without trying, he felt his eyes drag towards Jay.

“I’m sorry dude, but it’s the Sacred Mistletoe,” he called to Jay.

“I hate you!”

“I know.”

Dareth was getting his camera pulled up on his phone. “Crap,” Nya hissed when she saw him. Without hesitation she grabbed the front of Cole’s sweater and pulled him down into a kiss.

The room burst into cheers. Nya turned away and vanished into the kitchen. Cole dropped both the eggnogs he was holding.

“Oh, uh-“ Cole jerked away from his trance. “Still getting used to my new hands. I’ll uh, clean that up.” He backtracked into the kitchen to grab a rag and a broom.

Dareth stuffed his phone back into his pocket disappointed in missing the best photo while all the others were back to excited buzzing. Zane sat in silence with a smile, mostly because he was watching Jay try to silently hold back his resentment for Cole.

Nya stormed out of the kitchen with a cup of water; her face was still crimson. Kai gave her a quick whistle, but she had other plans. She put the water down on the table and then pulled Jay into a long passionate kiss.

“OH GROSS!” Kai gagged as he spat out his sip of eggnog. “Give me a warning before you do that!” The room was once again filled with laughter as Nya sat back down and took a quick swig of water. “Sorry about that,” Nya told Jay as she handed him the water. For a moment he stared at her without moving, his entire face now crimson red.

Finally he took the glass. “Are you sorry about the thing with Cole because it’s totally cool now,” Jay answered her. She giggled and then leaned her head on his chest. Zane could tell from her expression and the expression of Cole as he walked back in after cleaning the mess, that they both enjoyed the kiss but will never admit it.

Cole sank into the seat next to Zane. “Never use footage of that kiss, you hear?” Cole muttered into Zane’s ear.

The robot smiled sourly. “Of course.”

The black haired ninja noticed Zane’s expression. “What’s wrong buddy?”

Zane paused, his eyes glued to the mistletoe. “Nothing,” he responded, which was a lie. He could never say his desire out-loud because it was silly and impossible. “Just a thought.”

Cole nodded then took a sip of his eggnog.

“Go under the mistletoe.”

PIXAL was quiet for so long, he almost flinched when she talked. “But-“ Zane began, worried that PIXAL might of misunderstood the meaning of the mistletoe.

“Trust me. Go stand under it.”

He didn’t want to argue with his love, so he slowly stood. Nobody really acknowledged him until he came to a stop under the doorway.

“Uh,” Ronin called to the nindroid. “Who are you wanting a kiss from in this room?”

“Nobody,” Zane answered simply. “I’m curious myself why PIXAL wanted me to come stand under here.”

“Stand still for a second,” PIXAL instructed. Zane tightened his gears, but he was still confused.

“Seriously, Zane-“ Cole started, but he was interrupted with a flash of blue light coming from Zane’s eyes. One second, the doorway was empty, the next, it was filled with a blue hologram.

“Oh my,” PIXAL spoke, but instead of inside Zane’s mind, she was now being formed as a life-size holographic image using Zane’s eyes. “I seem to of run into you under the mistletoe.”

Zane was speechless. The room was quiet, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Kai and Skylor exchange a smile as they looked on.

“PIXAL, you are brilliant,” Zane grinned at his love. He reached out his hand and she instantly took it, as if she knew he was going to reach out to her. “And I love you so much.”

The female robot smiled back. “I love you as well. Now we can uphold the Sacred Mistletoe like Cole and Nya, and Jay and Kai.”

Zane laughed, followed by the room. As the holiday cheer filled the space of family and friends, PIXAL leaned over and kissed Zane, granting his only Christmas wish.

You are making my heart melt

“It is easy to love people in memory. The hard thing is to love them when they are right in front of you.”
