#but like fr sometimes relationships are unique and can’t be easily categorised

Yknow I think a common mischaracterisation of Harumi is literally that people think Garmadon actually adopted her and acted like a father figure to her. If anything it was more like the other way round.

Garmadon was the one guided by Harumi, he wasn’t really independent and she overall held the power until partway through the season.

#this is why I’m a bit iffy on the Lloyd Harumi are related angle #because it necessitates we mischaracterise Harumi and Garmadon’s dynamic #I’m not against lloyd and Harumi having a sibling dynamic as a concept #but it has to be in the context of some rewrite or fanon yknow #sometimes when people see dynamics they try and make it found family but really genetically #like not every dynamic between an older male and a younger character is a fatherly bond #maybe we are just a bit fatherless idk #but like fr sometimes relationships are unique and can’t be easily categorised #but either way I saw a few posts a while back arguing that Garmadon and Harumi’s dynamic was toxic #and they were right #like that wasn’t healthy for either of them really #tbh I still don’t like how Harumi was written it was rlly inconsistent imo and Garmadon could’ve been done better #ninjago #ninjago harumi #ninjago garmadon #i diagnose all of us with fatherlessness #i think I’m allowed to say that bc I’m fatherless for real life
