I always think about this line.
It breaks my heart that, in the past, Kai has gotten angry enough at Nya to warrant this line.
But his response is nice.
No denial about his anger issues, no outburst, just reassuring Nya that he is not mad. He even says "of course not", because he could never truly be mad at her.

At this point my page is gonna be all about Morro and his similarities to characters, BECAUSE NYA AND MORRO HAVE SO MANY TOO?
Like situation wise/life wise I’d say their pretty different. But personality? Their elements? Who they are and how they carry themselves? Now thats where the similarities sit.
Both Nya and Morro are shown to be some of the most elementally strong characters in the show, their only contenders being each other and Lloyd (and Lloyd’s Lloyd, so theres that). They both gained their elements from Wojira, and i think that is a strong reason as to why they are both so similar to each other and to their elements.
Water and wind are both elements known for their freedom and knowledge, for being uncontrollable and followings its own whims whenever it wants. Both elements go where they please, take whatever shape they please, and are deadly powerful. Morro and Nya both perfectly represent their elements. They both are shown to be determined and stubborn, have the ability to be soft whilst also being sharp and deadly, they are both forces of nature so well tuned to their elements that its very unlikely to be seen from past elemental masters.
They both are probably considered prodigies simply due to the power of their elements, but they only reached the levels they have due to nonstop hard work to prove their worth. Their egos are probably nonexistent, but their prides are high up. Their goals, their morals, their wishes? They are determined to fulfil them no matter the cost.
(Please look up the definitions to determined, ego, and pride. Not cause you’re dumb but because knowing the definition if you didn’t already gives a way clearer understanding to my point rather then just knowing the word(i had to look up their meaning too to be sure it fits))
They both are also sarcastic little dimwits who are annoyingly smart. They both have high expectations for themselves and would hate to disappoint others. They also refuse to listen to others opinions if they are 99% sure they are wrong and have short tempers. They both are stupidly cool and know what they are doing.
I could go on and on about how elementally and personality wise they are super similar, but its heavily hidden by the paths they both ended up taking. Despite them both being considered normal and almost being outcasts, they both ended up being super important and powerful later on and grew to become better. Except, Morro was put under impossible expectations. And when Nya had that done to her, Wu was better at teaching and understanding and she was raised by someone who had a strong moral compass. These differences had caused their situations to be significantly different, and has made people point out Morro’s similarities to Kai and Lloyd more, when personally i think those two are the most different to Morro.
Anyways, Nya and Morro could be the best duo cause imagine resurrected Morro and Nya, both being the strongest duo to existence as they bicker like children.

tired: convince Skybound Tumblr to read my Nya-centric Skybound shenanigans series on AO3 by telling you how awesome it is while I work on installment #4
wired: quietly work on actually writing the next installment
inspired: convince you to read it by condensing the entire thing into a single meme

Idk if this is a hot take but why is it always “Kai slaved away and worked his ass off to raise his sister” and never the other way round or them working hard together?
Like, I know he’s older but in the show, does he really… act older? Like if you think about Kai and Nya’s dynamic yknow? Because from my understanding:
When Kai and Nya are introduced we see Kai fail at making a sword and Nya being the one to chide him for it. Kai makes an overconfident statement about wanting to be a better blacksmith than his father. This suggests that one, Kai is rather rash as well as inexperienced (something that lines up with the rest of his character arc in the pots and also generally), with Nya being the more mature figure in contrast
Also just a note but in the shorts: “I can handle it!” “No you can’t, stupid”
Kai frequently being very good at neglecting people or things: leaving Lloyd at an arcade whilst being focused on finding samurai x, not even knowing samurai x was Nya or that she only did it because she felt left out by him, completely abandoning both Nya and Lloyd in s3 (and Ik he was going through it at the time, but in line with the fandom’s characterisation of him)
Kai in season 5: “After I lost my dad, I lost my way. But I was lucky to have my sister watch over me”
Generally, their dynamic isn’t one where Kai really provides for Nya at all. In fact, judging by the fact that Nya can make entire mechs and Kai struggled to make a sword, Nya was probably busting her ass to provide for Kai. And judging by the s5 quote, that’s probably true. I’m not saying Nya raised Kai, it just rubs me the wrong way when she’s treated like a decorative flourish to a narrative that paints Kai as a burnt out child who was forced to grow up too soon especially since that is such a mischaracterisation of him in the first place.
