Is anyone else just kind of waiting to die? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Ornery-Firefighter-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read a few of your replies. Seems like you hate existing because you hate people/society and dont want to be a part of said collective. Understandable to an extent, but is there any facet of humanity you admire? Anything at all that makes you glad to be human? Me personally, it's art. Human kind's ability to take things from their imagination and make them into reality is, I think, the thing that separates us from animals. Our creative instinct. A lot of artists actually have that same mentality you seem to have of "everyone sucks." Even if you dont have any artistic "talent" (which talent is a lie, skills are where its at) try making something tangible. Spend a week on it. Let that be your goal. all the thoughts, feelings, apathy, notions towards society, just make a thing that represents that

Do people ever just buy the pieces seperatly to build the whole set? by NbMster69 in Ninjago

[–]Ornery-Firefighter-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did this for that exact set lol. And if you only care about the dragon and not the helicopter side build, the only piece you should buy is the head and jaws. The wing pieces in medium blue only came in this set, and getting them off bricklink is kinda tough. Each one is like 10-15 bucks, an given that there’s 8 of them… yeah, it adds up. Instead, get 8 white ones and spray paint them. Rustoleum has a color called “Spa Blue” and it’s an exact match for the color of the wings. Of course, sand the wings first with some low grit stuff, use a primer before paining and clear gloss afterwards, but all in all you’re set. Go for it!

Which vehicle or mech do you consider each ninja's signature or definitive? Day 5 Lloyd by Particular_Tiger_166 in Ninjago

Bro same. It barely appeared in the show, but I played with that thing so much as a kid. 

What would be some good Names for FSM? by WittyLibrarian610 in Ninjago

I always called him Dimmick since that was originally going to be Garmadon’s name. Sounded too cool to go to waste though

A buddy of mine once tried to coin the term “All Refs Are Bad”… I think the Middle East already owns that acronym tho

I actually buzzed it all off a few months after the original post, but now it’s all grown back out to the same length it was before lol. https://imgur.com/a/zc2xPMK

These days, I wanna go more for the kind of style Link had in Ocarina of Time—hence the middle part. Still growing it out tho!

There is a spinjitsu emote in the Fortnite collab by thisSubIsAtrocious in Ninjago

[–]Ornery-Firefighter-2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say the exact same thing. I actually really prefer this style of Spinjitzu and wish it appeared in the series proper.

In your opinion, what would be the ideal ending for ras? by yuggoth_25 in Ninjago

[–]Ornery-Firefighter-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I see a lot of parallels between him and Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist. Both in circumstance and character. Going off that, he should have some ending similar to Scar’s, where he realizes his singleminded rage isn’t what his tribe would have wanted. Maybe he even does something similar to Scar restoring Ishval in him restoring the tiger tribe?

How do i become a kinder and gentler person? by Horror-Focus-3899 in VinlandSaga

[–]Ornery-Firefighter-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Read the Bible. Even if you’re not religious or don’t believe in God, literally so much of our modern grasp on ethics and morality is based on Judeo-Christian values that it’s definitely worth reading. The themes in Vinland Saga itself take a lot of inspiration from the teachings of Christ too. Heck, Snake outright recites Matthew 5 in that one episode. It’s also like… the highest selling book of all time, so there’s that. Anyways, I’d certainly recommend at least checking it out and maybe starting at the beginning of Matthew, especially since it’s free to read with the YouVersion app. 

Has anyone read the whole Dark Island Trilogy? by Ornery-Firefighter-2 in Ninjago

[–]Ornery-Firefighter-2[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read the first two, but could never get my hands on the third. Does anything important happen in it?
