Projectile puked these scribbles onto my tablet after reading The Maze of the Sphinx. I am in so much pain. Spoilers.

"There were two figures in silhouette next to the terrifying figure, with their backs turned to him. One looked like a kid. Garmadon stared, transfixed.

Is that future guy... me? Is my father right? Is there really evil inside me? And those people- why are they turned away from me?

A feeling of utter loneliness and despair swept over him. He couldn't take his eyes off the image.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" he wailed."

I’m at the part in The Burning Maze where they have to solve riddles to find their way around and all I can think is that Annabeth would love this

sometimes I think people forget original content exists on this site. And like, i don't usually get fussed about it, i don't mind people tagging my art/stories/OC shit posts i intentionally leave vague so that other people's blorbos could fit them easier/ etc with their blorbos, og or otherwise, but there's something kinda like, vibe bad about seeing someone tag something you wrote about your original characters as "I don't know where this is from and I never want to know"

#idk its like. Here! Here is where its from! I wrote this weird ligma joke about the ocs i stole from ancient greece #because it was meant to be a ramble about how weird it would be to live in this country with a minotaur king who Really #want to return to the giant murder maze where he can do murder and make love to his sphinx partner in the blood. #but i got bored half way through and started setting up a 'theres no punchline' style joke and realized its actually really easy to make #that sort of joke set up into a ligma or sukapon or bofa type joke

I have returned and I have thoughts about Maze of the Sphinx

(spoilers under the cut)

So far I'd say this was the most emotional book in the series so far (and my favourite), because it dealt with Garmadon coming to terms with how the bite was affecting him, and how he feels toward Wu being the more "likable" brother.

I also really liked Shezada, and I thought Garm and Wu's (maybe? i feel like he didnt really like her for some reason but that's probably because his thoughts weren't expressed as much as Garmadon's) crush on her was honestly really cute.

The mirror scene honestly made me tear up a little- I just felt so bad for Garm because at first he's so convinced that his wish can fix it, and that he could change destiny (which is a little similar to morros dileema) but then in the end he accepts it and the fact that when he was purified of the venom, he thought that it was over and he'd successfully changed destiny in a sense, only for Harumi to revive him. O u ch

Also, zombies now canonically exist and spread by biting each other is honestly mildly terrifying because it means that Ninjago has a genuine threat of a zombie apocalypse-

my brain is so huge I desperately want to make a couple made up of a Sphinx and a Minotaur. couple who traps you in a maze and gives you 60 seconds to solve her riddle before her gf goes apeshit on you

also wondering if I want to add in a cerberus to make it a polycule of 3-5

List of small Garmadon details/moments in canon that I feel define his character, in approximate timeline order:

Garmadon attempted to be the voice of reason and didn’t want to disobey their father (“Never Trust a Human”)

When Wu’s sword was lost over the wall, Garmadon acted as the responsible older sibling to retrieve it (“Rise of the Snakes”)

His father and brother both speak of a “darkness” in Garmadon while he’s a teen, but this refers mostly to mood swings and impulsivity, and Garmadon felt as if there was nothing truly wrong with him (The Curse of the Cat-Eye Jewel)

“I know what it is to feel rejected by my father.” (The Curse of the Cat-Eye Jewel)

He is enthusiastic about traveling the world moreso than finding a “cure” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

Wu is uncertain whether Garmadon really is different, or if it is merely a placebo effect: “We can’t seem to agree on anything lately. Then again, Garmadon and I have never agreed on much!” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

“We make a great team!” “Yeah!” Garmadon agreed, but a flash of doubt clouded his brain. Does he really mean it? Wu hadn’t looked at me the same ever since that dumb snake bit me. And as for being a team…he’s always trying to tell me what to do. How is that teamwork?” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

Garmadon looks into a magic mirror and sees his future form, as well as “two figures in silhouette next to the terrifying figure, with their backs turned to him. One looked like a kid[…] Is my father right? Is there really evil inside me?[…] A feeling of utter loneliness and despair swept over him.” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

Had intrusive thoughts to abandon Wu in the maze, but went back for him after realizing those thoughts would lead to that horrible future (The Maze of the Sphinx)

“Somehow, he felt in his bones that he could not escape his destiny.” He gives up a wish to cure himself by saving their new ally, but keeps up the facade that he thinks he’s fine even though he now has doubts. “Besides, I keep telling you, I don’t need saving.” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

“I did the right thing, he told himself. That’s all that matters.” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

“Maybe I do need that tea. I just hope… I hope that when we find it, it’s not too late.” (The Maze of the Sphinx)

“I know he thanked me, but did he say anything about how good it was of me to save him? I mean, he and Father are convinced I’m turning evil. Would an evil guy bravely save his brother from plummeting into a deep abyss? Why doesn’t anybody give me credit for the non-evil stuff that I do?” (The Chroma’s Clutches)

Wu’s thoughts: “On that day in the monastery, years ago, when I lost my katana, I was too afraid to retrieve it. But Garmadon jumped over the wall to get it for me, and got bitten by the snake that may have infected him with evil, as Father expects. I often wonder what would have happened if I had been the one to get bitten that day…” (The Chroma’s Clutches)

Only Garmadon hears the hopeless voice of the Chroma in his head: “There is no hope[…] All is lost. There is no point in continuing your journey, because nothing will change[…] Nothing will change. You are who you are, Garmadon. Deep in his bones, Garmadon knew the Chroma was right. When he wasn’t pretending everything was fine, he could feel the evil inside him, like a poisonous ball in the pit of his stomach. No tea was going to cure him. He knew it. Wu had hope, but why? What was the point of—” (The Chroma’s Clutches)

Garmadon didn’t want to sign the letter Wu had written for Misako, only doing so when his eyes turned red and the Venom took over (“Spellbound”)

He left his training with Chen to help lead the Elemental Masters against the Serpentine War (“Spellbound”)

Garmadon resisted giving into the Venom for centuries before he caved and attempted to steal the Golden Weapons (“Battle Between Brothers”)

“I never wanted [Lloyd] to [be like me]” (“The Royal Blacksmiths”)

Garmadon, once corrupted, is happy to overtake the world, but all those thoughts leave his mind as soon as Lloyd is at risk (“The Royal Blacksmiths,” “The Green Ninja”)

Lloyd: “I’m gonna do everything in my power to stop you.” Garmadon: “I wouldn’t have it any other way[…] You're a good boy. Soon, you'll be a great man. Although we're now on opposite sides, I'm still very proud of you.” (“All of Nothing”)

“Lloyd doesn't want to fight—uh, I mean, so Lloyd doesn't want to fight? [Laughs]” (“The Last Hope”)

Became a pacifist and a teacher (“The Art of the Silent Fist”)

Takes responsibility for his harmful actions (“The Greatest Fear of All,” “The Corridor of Elders”)

“I yearned to make the world in my image. I never realized I already had, in you.” (“The Corridor of Elders”)

Oni Garmadon does not recognize his predecessor’s human form, and has zero memory of those times, but he remembers being married to Misako (“The Fall”/“Big Trouble, Little Ninjago”)

“People ask me: ‘Do you think Lord Garmadon is disappointed in Lloyd, like would he have wanted to see a chip off the old block?’ Well, I think Lloyd could very well have gone that route. We may never really know the exact nature of the disappointment that shaped Garmadon’s path. But I think that no matter what, even—even—in his most deranged state, Lord Garmadon still has abiding affection for his son. And you know that he would trade it all away if he had to safeguard Lloyd. So I think that there’s always going to be the embers of deep affection for his son, no matter what.” (Mark Oliver, “NINJAGO ZANE INTERVIEWS GARMADON part 2/3”)

Garmadon misremembers the incident of when he was bitten. Out of guilt and the weight of his fate being seemingly meaningless, he wishes that Wu had warned him of crossing the wall and he had simply acted defiantly. Regardless, he feels he was “destined for evil” (Garmadon #4)

The Overlord orchestrated the Great Devourer biting Garmadon so he could be the perfect puppet for the Overlord (“Dragon Form”)

I want garmadon to tell wu that the bite wasn't his fault. I want garmadon to apologise to wu. For everything.
