* continuation of a previous post of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/curb/comments/1uuswuy/ive_never_been_this_sad_before/ *
after quite some time, and some delays... i finally concluded possibly one of the best, funniest, awkwardest, relatable sitcoms of all time
i wont lie, i did get a little bit emotional watching the finale - while id love a S13, the way 'C.Y.E.' concluded was satisfying enough
with the ’New Avengers Tower’ LEGO set coming out, i noticed its noticeably larger, by two studs, than it is on the ‘Spider-Verse’ set
which got me wondering, with the ‘Strange Supreme Sanctum’ com out in Jan. next year, could LEGO MARVEL be straying away from the Spider-Modulars and be going in a different direction?
whats your guys thoughts?
yeah... ts is peak, not gonna lie
the first image is something we got today w/ piece count and some info on the 'Earth Mech Battle Unit', which i wouldnt mind being another 'NINJAGO LEGENDS' sets, those have been fire in the past two years
and the stuff in March is so peak! - cant wait for official images on them all - any thoughts and theories on what that 'Dojo Building' could be?
i dont know what to do with my life right now and i dont know who i am and why im here
ive never been in a relationship, i never have and i dont think i ever will
i have gone through 7 rejections and one of them was a big ass plot-twist that i didnt see coming and one of them was a flat out suicide threat:
there was a girl... im going to call her J - basically in 2024, i wasnt in the best headspace personally, and mentally - my mom was in the hopsital w/ a bad case of pneumonia on life support, my dad's dad had blood cancer and almost died, my mom's dad passed away, my dog passed away, my best friend moved states, i almost died... like... 2024 was NOT my fucking year
but basically i met J the day my mom was sedated and she made me feel better about myself, during that time and i had opened up to her about everything that went on - but come the day i asked her out, sometime around Dec. when my life was turning around, my mom had gotten better and was coming home on Dec. 19th, my grandpa had beat blood cancer, i was starting to look up at things
but... when i asked J out she flat out said she was better off killing herself than dating someone like me... - wish i was joking, and i gotta say, it really hurt, she meant a lot to me and she had helped me through the shittiest times of my life
but over the years, from 2023 to present day, its just never worked out
2023: girl in my history class in middle school was already in a relationship, girl i liked in theater class was also in a relationship, a different girl LIKED me in same theater class but i saw eachother as friends - and turns out she was 21 years old in a frehsman theater class, sadly she was on the spectrum and was probably not thinking right *i am on the spectrum myself, mildly diagnosed in the 2nd grade*
2024: J happened, a girl in my art class was cute but turned out to be a lesbian *i have no issues with the LGBTQ+ community, im an avid supporter of them all and i love them dearly*
2025: i liked a girl in my math class and she didnt feel the same way and also lesbian...
2026: i liked a girl in my creative writing class and was kinda 50/50 kindly and harshly friendzoned
meanwhile my friends are thriving w/ their partners, i wont be naming any of them for their privacy - but i will admit i am jealous
i feel left out and just feel like an outcast overall, like... why am i the only one in all of my friendgroup to not have a girlfriend?
theyre just as stupid, annoying, cringy, dumb, funny, nerdy, artistic, talented, smart, active, same hobby loving as me
but when its my turn i always get the short end of the stick in some aspects - and i just feel like at this point no matter how hard i try and put myself out there, introduce myself, get to know these people for months, their likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorite movies/tv shows, favorite video games etc. i listen to them, i listen to what they have to say, their opinions
and whenever i gather the courage to ask them out i always get rejected or let down easily and i will say at least two of these have really put me in a depressive episode, such as J and the one in 2026
i just want to be loved and appreciated by someone who loves me the same way back but i genuinely see myself all by myself in the coming years and i dont see it changing any time soon
im lost in life and i feel so alone, no matter how many times i hang out with my friends ive always longed to be with someone who has the same interests and hobbies as me and it pains me to think i never will be with that special someone
all im asking for is serious reassurance that everything will be ok...
i feel like, if this werent a 'BrickLink Designer Program' exclusive, this couldve and could still be the perfect set for 'The Whispering Woods'
ts so peak ngl, but sad its not Ninjago...
maybe 'Behind The Smiles' will show us how and what happened to Charles
assuming we do find that out since we see Susan and just saw Rosemary... which was... fucking terrifying
whats everyones thoughts?
ts wave so peak i cant think of a bad set other than the 4+ Zane set🥹🌹
whats your guys favorite set?
this is by far the best army wave ever
and with August around the corner, i cant wait for the Fire and Ice Monsters to add to the collection!!
as well as one more Loyalist and Zombie-Empress Beatrix mech!!
ive been saving up a ton and i mean a ton of money lately to buy the 'Avengers Tower' and i was so disappointed to find out the set is out of stock
and i seriously hope this doenst mean its retiring this year or at the end of July... because i would be so upset
ive been wanting this set for so long now and saved up just enough money to get it... so i hope it pays off later on...
woah… these sets are actually pretty solid than what i originally expected
favorite set from this wave is definitely the Avengers Tower and Sentinel Battle set
whats your guys thoughts and opinions?
let me start off by saying that im probably the biggest 'Lord Ras' glazer of all time😭
when DR S1 came out, and Lord Ras was introduced, i was in love with his design, his voice *in a non creepy way* and character
come the end of S1 of NDR, he left with Jordana and i was highly intrigued on what his next plan was, and who his mysterious 'Master' was
when S2 rolled around, i was so excited to see Lord Ras as the central villain of the season, i was so locked in every time he was on screen and listened to everything he said
and where his character peaked in my opinion was in S2, PT. 2, because seeing his character was so cunning and manipulative it just solidified his way into my Top 5 villains of all time
it was so shocking to learn that he has input on how Wu caused The Merge, how he can undo The Merge and how he can revive dead people from The Merge - which is something ill get into later
in S3, his motives were so focused and straight-forward he really thought Arin was willing to sacrifice Sora - LMAO
that whole fight scene in 'The Underworld' w/ Arin, Sora and Ras was so cool!
and the start of episode 17 was so dark - Lord Ras really sacrificed a random citizen to get one of the 'The Source Icon's'
and his bone armor design in the final few episodes of S3 was so badass, i kinda wish they kept it for S4...
now S4 has been scarce with scenes regarding Ras, but the clips in Pt. 2 are so full of it, its rlly interesting to see what the Tiger-Tribe once was
the scenes including him and Zilvar were so good and it shows that the Tiger-Tribe is not all bad, Zilvar was extremely shameful regarding Ras and wants to help him
but Ras beign Ras talks about his master and what HE wants to do and that they both can revive their lost Tiger-Tribe - i feel, that deep down, Ras really cares for his tribe, and really cares about reviving them, but does not show weakness and only shows strength and manipulation
with S5 sadly the last season, i rlly hope we get a Zombie-Tiger Tribe storyline going down in Pt. 2 because those designs in show and in minifigure form would be so badass
whats everyones thought and opinions on Ras?
this is a mix of clips from flashbacks of Ras' tribe throughout 'Dragons Rising'
seeing this all compiled into one video is amazing and gives us some insight on Ras and Zilvar’s backstory
and its so interesting to see Zilvar as a good-guy and not a bad-guy
and more crumbs about Ras’ true master… wowza! he was highly offended when Zilvar asked and now we know its definitely not Zarkar, if that was his name (?)
whats everyones thoughts and theories?
with August 1st coming in just a few short days, ive been rewatching all, and i mean ALL of 'Ninjago Dragons Rising' from the very first episode, to the very latest episode
and wow, i rlly, strongly think i dislike S1 way too much - originally, i didnt like it as it wasnt the best season of NDR, but i get that it was a get-to-know, get-to-meet, get-to-see, new characters and locations season - but upon rewatch... its not that bad
'The Merge' two parter was a great way to start off the series as a whole and seeing baby Riyu is so cool, knowing what we know now and how big hes grown!
i will say, my few batch of favorite episodes from S1 are definitely
#1: The Battle of the Second Monastery *Ep. 10*
#2: Absolute Power *Ep. 18*
#3: Land of Lost Things *Ep. 16*
#4: The Last Djinn *Ep. 14*
#5: The Merge: Part 1 - Part 2
and my favorite character, hasnt changed a bit, from 'Ninjago Dragons Rising' is Lord Ras!
what a badass character, and re-watching all of his scenes from the very beginning is so cool just based off of where hes at in his story
whats your favorite episode, character or part of 'Season 1' in general?
ts looks so peak🥹🌹
animation is peak, dialogue is peak… everything is so fucking peak
looks pretty solid - shame we got REDACTED Evil Ninja…
mixed reactions to this news
50% good idea, since we wont have to wait months, or for it to just leak
50% they ARE doing Pt. 1 and Pt. 2’s or im jst looking too much into it
thoughts?
woah... just woah...
i guess the long running, long standing rumors were true, 'Ninjago Dragons Rising' will end with 'Dragons Fury', or S5 of the show - and there are no future plans for the 'NDR' storyline - i am, with reason, very sad
this show, this era, these characters, old and new, are some of the best stuff we've gotten from 'Ninjago' since 'The Oni Trilogy' - and seeing it all come to a final conclusion is sad to see, but good things dont always last forever
as for some uplifiting news, we got one of the set images somewhat revelaed for '2027' and that is the 'Lloyd vs. Ras Spinner Battle' and wow... the parts in this set are amazing!
the dragon armor, the dragon head, there are some sick new pieces and new elements in here!
and i cant wait to see the other images get revealed later down the line!
considering how PEAK NDR has been, no way theyd end it w/ just 5 seasons
at least a season 7 and then itd wrap everything up
