all Web of Masks books can be found in the replies of this post!

set before Dragons Rising, Web of Masks follows Harumi as she grapples with her demons - both mental and physical - in the post-Merge world

targeted not only at Harumi fans, but fans of Ninjago as a whole 🕷️🕸️
Good question esp cuz Zaiden has their studded wristbands and belt…

ik Harumi's name means beauty/truth to fool ppl, but it's also cool (& funny) that it sounds like ruminate, considering how much thinking it takes to understand wtf goes w her 😭

+her kanji can be read as "spring" to represent renewal... redemption arc was there all along 😼😼

Dread on Arrival is peak because it’s just Harumi & Garmadon saying each other’s names in the funniest ways possible

Him acknowledging his dragon heritage but not his Oni blood… I see you Garmadon family generational trauma…

The flute returns again in Dragon Form while Lloyd first tries to get her to help

So if we’re treating soundtrack usage as canon messaging she was already considering helping then (which becomes increasingly more clear until Garm almost gets slimed out, which is when she snaps)

Then in Return to Primeval’s Eye, she tries again but in a more cocky/dramatized way (since the CK isn’t around to scare her masks off anymore)

Which obvi fails & they make no progress. Lloyd only offers her help when she makes an effort to try (sparing Lloyd, betraying the CK)

Harumi’s theme using a flute here is so interesting

s8 only used a flute for her when she was “good” (until ep 81). By that logic, this would be the moment where she began her “redemption”

…as she asks Lloyd to join her…

Which was likely her way of asking for help/an escape

Why is this literally Harumi

(if she didn’t do it)

literally said “no fuck you” and died. legend.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s adorable that Riyu is starting to look like his teacher Rontu?

First thing I thought when I posed them together was “Aww it’s like this is her new duo”

She lost a partner but gained a student (or son, PLS go that route DR it’d be so cute)

At the very least it LOOKS like s4 will be better abt balancing the focus, since we have

Lloyd, Arin, Zane, Euphrasia

Jay, Kai, Nya

Frak, Sora, Wyldfyre, Riyu

Cole… & the loyalists?? No wonder his set has so many weapons he’s in the trenches 😭 (karma for yelling at Kai)

s2p2 had a GREAT thing going where everyone (besides Jay mostly) was just there & getting good characterization left & right

like Cole didn’t do too much but his few scenes were so good! would much rather have him present as a supporting character than be completely absent

getting so tired of the ninja being split w uneven focus or just not present at all, it’s hurting DR

why focus on the same few if they barely develop? name ANYONE who significantly grew in s3 besides Jay & Arin (Lloyd’s lesson on control at the end was too random/contrived imo)

Four Weapons… & for water!! ⚔️🗼

Here’s a water tower I made for the smithy! My biggest goal for its design was to have it look as “Wilfilm” as possible to fit the anniversary vibe, & I think it totally does!

Will likely be making the shop’s roof more sloped when I’m back home

Umbrasilvis is Latin for shadow forest which is actually rly cool considering this town’s moody atmosphere…

Maybe a haunted town within the Whispering Woods?
