Opinion on Ninjago Ships

My opinion on Ninjago (canon) ships:

👍 Like this pairing (and like to read it)
😐 Neutral (will still read it)
👎 Don't like this pairing (but might still read it - only if the story is really interesting)
🤢 Hate this pairing (and won't read it no matter how interesting the story might be otherwise!!!)
⌨️ I write this pairing

Jaya ❤️⌨️
Short answer: OTP
Long answer: It's complicated. Jay is my favourite Ninja, but I am not much of a Nya fan. Despite that, I love that pairing.
Very long answer: It's very complicated. During the pilot and seasons 1-2, they were just incredibly cute together and their relationship had a lot of (unused) potential. A lot of fanfics (usually my favourite ones) are based on this, either having this kind of relationship in an AU setting or by further developing their canon relationship. But instead of also doing this in the show, Rebooted happened, and I was really upset about that (I'm not gonna give my opinion on the whole love triangle mess here, that would take up a whole chapter by itself 😉). During the Tournament of Elements season, it was quite obvious that both still had feelings for each other, so I waited and waited and waited for them to finally make up. Then, around mid season 5, I gave up. I was done with them (and tbh I was done with Nya!). So, I had mixed feelings about Jay's future reflection and also about what happened in Skybound (I was more worried about Jay getting heartbroken again than anything else). But Hands of Time has now restored my love for that pairing in the show as well. That little scene in episode 66 (where Kai walks in on them when they are about to kiss) and Nya fangirling about Jay in episode 69 were just too adorable! And don't get me started on Jay's reaction when Nya and Kai went after the Iron Doom in episode 71 (I still have a request to write a one-shot for that!)... okay, maybe I should stop here 😄!

Pixane 👍⌨️
I didn't like them at the beginning, but now PIXAL and her relationship with Zane are one of the only three points I liked about Rebooted. Although, technically, I only started to like her/them at the very end of season 3 (where PIXAL was upset about Zane's death) and during season 4 (where she would help him despite having been scrapped herself), because those scenes showed that she really cared about him.

Kailor 👍⌨️ (Note: this part has recently been updated)
At the beginning , I didn't care too much about them (and I have seen a couple of stories that have a great OC partner for Kai) but I have recently started to like them a lot more. Mainly because of that cute scene between them in HoT, but I also really enjoy writing them.

Coliel 👍⌨️
Not a real canon pairing, but I still like them. In my opinion, Cole is the most underrated ninja and I would love to see him find a girlfriend (that is not Nya, see below). And, from what I know about her, I think Seliel would be quite a good match for him.

Bruise 👍
I love Jay and Cole as Best Friends (preferably with Jaya ❤️) but I also think they would have made a great couple.

Lava 👍
I like this pairing (unless it's in a Lava and Techno story) and I could actually see it happen in the show (seriously, Cole's reaction at the end of episode 73 was almost as cute as Jay's!).

Conya 🤢
Just one word: NO.
(Nevertheless, Nya's comforting Cole after he got turned into a ghost was pretty much the only situation where I liked her during the whole of season 5. But that hug was more brother/sister-like than romantic!)

Greenflame 🤢
I don't like any Lloyd x Ninja (including Nya!) pairings. To me, he is still the little (and probably less experienced) brother, whom the others are supposed to protect and support...
And that's especially the case for Kai. I think he is just as much Lloyd's big brother as he is Nya's!

Techno 🤢
I think Jay and Zane have a very close but completely unromantic relationship (Zane was the only one who knew about Jay's future reflection!).

Plasma 👎
I don't mind this pairing by itself, but I've seen it often combined with Conya, so that has kind of ruined it for me...

Ronya 👎
He must be around the same age as her parents, but it's still better than Conya...

Garsako 👍⌨️
Garmadon is one of my favourite characters. And while I don't like Misako too much, I love their relationship. Mainly because Garmadon, even when he was evil, cared so much about her (and about his son).

Any suggestions for other pairings (no OCs please)?
