#hell is spinjitzu even IN the fucking thing

[cyanide-sippy-cup]

Is it safe now to admit that I really don't like the Ninjago movie? Just hear me out.

As a movie on its own, it's literally just retreading the same ground as The Lego Movie. And it does it way worse.

"Oh no look it's [BIG BAD WITH ROBOTS] who is going to use [SUPER WEAPON] to destroy everything and make it into what he wants it to be! Only [SOCIAL OUTCAST] and his ragtag group of weirdos can take him down, and maybe learn that [LIFE LESSON THAT TIES INTO PROTAGONIST MOTIVATION AND ANTAGONIST REASON FOR BEING EVIL] along the way."

Like, The Lego Movie was a genuinely fun original story, and you absolutely get the sense that this is a story they wanted to tell. The Lego Batman Movie is similarly that, and is a genuine love letter to Batman and such an interesting character deep-dive through the use of parody. The Lego Ninjago Movie is just TLM but again.

And then there's how it holds up as a Ninjago movie. They adapted an existing beloved TV series with a lot of lore and unique/interesting characters. And they made it a joke.

"Alright, I'm so excited to see this movie for my favorite show. Are we gonna get some cool Garmadon v Lloyd? Are we gonna get an interesting arc for Kai? Are we gonna expand upon the existing lore?"

"Nah we're gonna ignore all that."

"...what?"

"Yeah no we don't really wanna do all that. But hey, wouldn't it be hilarious if Garmadon pronounced Lloyd's name like 'L-loyd'? Cause it has two L's?"

"... ... ...do we at least get to see the Skulkin again?"

"Nah it's goons in fish costumes now."

And also it created the post-movie era and I one-hundred-percent blame them for the loss of red-haired Jay.

#its like so clear that the higher ups in charge of this never watched the show and just thought of it as “kids stuff” #and probably really thought of this as an “improvement” #hell is spinjitzu even IN the fucking thing #ninjago #lego ninjago #lego #spinjitzu #sensei wu #wu garmadon #lord garmadon #ninjago garmadon #lloyd garmadon #ninjago lloyd #kai ninjago #nya ninjago #jay ninjago #jay walker #cole brookstone #ninjago cole #zane julien #ninjago zane #ninjago movie #the lego movie #and im not even gonna touch on wu and everything going on there

...

Soooooo... DR Lloyd.

Yeah, he has fucked up badly in S2, Visions and Teacher wise

Let's talk. (S1 and S2 spoilers)

Right, DR Lloyd is genuinely so interesting, and mainly because he fails at SO MANY of his personal goals, ironically, in an attempt to achieve those goals, because he has the right mindset.

But he makes the wrong decisions...

First of all, I wanna bring up his Visions:

So we already know that there's been an ENTIRE year between Season 1 and Season 2 of Dragons Rising, so really quite a while.

And according to Lloyd himself, he's been having these visions since after the Imperium Source Dragon thing when they saved the world again.

So... Seriously, why didn't he just tell the others?

From a pure logic perspective this sorta doesn't make any sense, this isn't Wildbrain Era or Crystalized Lloyd, this is a whole new him, most accepted theory for the Merge is that it's been 5 years since it happened (6 by the time of S2), and we still don't know how much it's been since pre-merge and Crystalized.

Lloyd's obviously had time to heal and get in a better mental state, his behaviour switch from Crystalized to Dragons Rising is enough evidence of that not to mention overall Demeanor.

He doesn't have his Seasons 11-13 trust issues, or his Crystalized anger issues, so... What gives?

Now granted, some people might see that this is a bit insensitive or inconsiderate towards Lloyd, but given how much he's been through, how much he's grown and how much he should trust the ninja (which he VERY MUCH DOES BY THE WAY, Ep3 of DR Season 2 with his little chat with Nya, and the countless times she's comforted him during the Season), it calls into question as to why he didn't tell the ninja about his visions...

And like, I'm sorry but at this point this seems like extremely overlooked potential, Zane???

Like, there's literally a guy on your team who's had visions, terrible ones at that, before, why not go talk to him about it??

I'm just, really confused specifically by this aspect...

And another aspect, this being his Teaching:

Forgive me if I start insulting Lloyd but WHAT. IS. HE. DOING?????

1 YEAR SINCE SEASON 1, AND YOU HAVEN'T TAUGHT SORA OR ARIN PROPER SPINJITZU??? HELLO?

I am not holding back with this one, because this just seems like a massive oversight on his side that, depending on you view it, seriously fucked over the team majorly...

And you know why I find it so inexcusable?

1 Word: Wyldfyre.

The glow she's had when it comes to her fighting skills is actually insane, if you've watched the last 2 Episodes of Season 2 you'd KNOW how well she fought against the Wolf Clan, and Wyldfyre is not really even Lloyd's thing, she's more Kai's thing.

Granted, Kai's not taught her Spinjitzu, and he should be given shit for that as well, but when you compare her to Sora?

Yeah it sorta falls apart...

Sora didn't even know how to jump up high enough while preforming the moves for Spinjitzu, meanwhile Wyldfyre is fresh off of her injury and she's moving crazy quickly around every enemy.

That and... Arin.

Lloyd has no excuse for Arin, straight up.

Arin's got the motivation and drive to learn new skills, he's the same kid that managed to solo learn a weird form of Spinjitzu, with self taught ninja moves PURELY from watching his heros fighting.

So why, in the bloody hell, did Lloyd double down on his unique Spinjitzu, that he hasn't been able to get better at for the last year despite extensive training, instead of at the VERY LEAST teaching him Spinjitzu basics?

Again, 1st Fang ninja statue is designated to those who need to learn Spinjitzu first, and it's criminal that ARIN out of ALL people, had to be PUT in it.

And I have to say, all that considered + Lloyd's constant attempts at reassuring Arin like the kid missed up, and the times he told him to be patient, it really puts a bad taste in my mouth for Lloyd.

Lloyd you are not helping, Arin's been more then patient, and he's not gotten better any single bit at his Unique Spinjitzu or fighting Skills, this is a you problem and you don't even realise it.

You're trying too hard to be like Wu, when in S1 you should've at least gotten a small hint you don't have to be like him, like not even full acknowledgement, just a hint!

This might seem a bit rambly and emotion fuelled so I'm sorry for that, but DR Lloyd frustrates me with his decisions, don't get me wrong I still like him, the show emphasises the importance of Mental Health a lot of times through him, by Representing panic attacks and his extreme anxiety using him, and that's awesome!

What isn't very awesome however, is all the aforementioned problems with his character (that I find at least).

Legoland day 2

The weather was much better today, mostly cloudy and some sun in the afternoon but comfortable overall and no rain so I got to do all the things I couldn't yesterday. We spent less time there cause my sister wanted to go home but I still had a blast. I'm very glad to be home now though the drive is hell and I missed my bed. Today's shenanigans include:

Went to the school of spinnitzu and learned how to do spinjitzu (there was a serve lack of jumping up, kicking back, whipping around or spinning so im doubtful, didn't even turn into a beyblade)

Built the messiest most fucked up lil snake at the good vs evil build. He was evil

Walked through miniland and had a blast, it was impressive and adorable and there were some really fun interactive bits including one that spits water (my dad found that out)

Strolled though the pirate and city areas but didn't do much cause lines were too long, thats fine though

Went back to the kingdom area and rode the dragon again. Just as fun the second time.

Waited in line for like 30 minutes for a sad little spinning ride that was absolutely not worth it

Saw the Master the Elements show. It was pretty cool, it was like some choreographed ninja moves with some special effects loosely themed around the elements. Then they brought the Lloyd mascot costume out and I lost any ability to take it seriously

Headed back to the ninjago area and reentered the ninja cube

Tried and failed again to win the ninja orb. Tragic, but I quickly recovered when we returned to

The ninjago store. This time we were there to buy and oh boy did I. Spent like $80 and do not regret it (I'll show what i got along with pictures tomorrow I'm tired)

Had some decent lunch and discovered that the $20 cup I bought has limited refills >:c

Went on the 5 hour drive home. Fun fact it was supposed to be 3.5 hours but kept getting fucked up

Anyways I am home now and very tired and my legs and feet hurt very much and i still have school tomorrow ;-;

Also you will be happy to know I got the last 2 stickers and now have the complete set :D

[calicoquiltedtranshag]

i'm sorry babe, i just don't get it. you're the one that wanted the "mature mommy gf" so you're gonna have to explain this to me. so they're ninjas made out of legos? doesn't that break the immersion for you? aren't there better cartoons that aren't legos? can't you just watch naruto or something? ...please, just explain the ninjago lore to me again. i'm just not getting it.

I've watched Naruto - I'm good with Naruto! Love the guy.

Here's the thing though - this gal has never had a good time relating to human characters. I just don't. I do my best but I am just - I am not good with folks and I think that translates into how I consume media.

The fact that they're lego doesn't break the immersion - it makes it heckin better. Suddenly I've got a world to think up. How do they survive when they only have two digits? What are their customs, their traditions - what kind of food do they make in a lego world? Boundless questions! Boundless answers - and there are, because Ninjago kinda...goes off. There are answers to questions you never would have thought of. It goes places you wouldn't think it would.

(Lucille)

It's naruto but made to sell toys

Okay, so:

ORIGINALLY you've got these two brothers at the so-called beginning of time. Wu and Garmadon. There's these four weapons that embody the elements fire, ice, storm, and earth. It's impossible to posess all four bc like - you only gots two hands. HOWEVER! Were one to do so, there is...a vague promise of ultimate power!

But Wu and Garm are good kids. They don't wanna do anything like steal divine power.

Also their dad is a master of a lego martial art called spinjitzu. Which is - you spin around a lot. Idk. Both the brothers learn it and they're super heckin good at it.

At some point Garm gets bitten by a snake god their dad defeated and is infected with a venom of True Evil - which starts to corrupt him. He gets the idea of forging all the elemental weapons into one - a weapon of ultimate elemental power!

(Also side note uh there is a whole civilization that is only *ambiguously* evil that their dad sealed away along with their god and its kinda fucked up)

To note: There is a good Garm in there, but this venom's some brethren moons type shit. Twists your perspective so that you'll think you're in the right even as you're doing some heinous shit. He has a son and wife btw.

Wu stops him and kicks him into hell.

It does some wacky things to his body. He makes some skeleton friends and plans to return to the land of the living and take over the world.

Backstory over - ONTO THE SHOW!

There's four main dudes. Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane. Kai is...a blacksmith's son if I remember? He's got a sister named Nya who's super badass. Jay is the son of junkyard machinists, Cole is the youngest of like...8? I think his brothers run a barbershop quartet barbershop?? Zane is a robot but we don't find that out for a looooooong time. When we first meet him he's just funky and also an orphan.

They all end up at Wu's house. Cole, Jay, and Zane are looking for a purpose. Kai is there because servants of Garm took his sister to use as a human sacrifice - a life for a life. Wu starts to train them spinjitzu, there's a buncha wacky hijinks regarding skeletons, shit gets fucked, shit gets unfucked, Nya is saved, fuck yeah.

One of the skeleton bros has four arms and holds all four weapons - and implodes into superhell. Garm goes into the superhell portal and is like "I'll see you later - BROTHER!" to Wu and then jumps in. We don't see him for a bit.

Also I think there are dragons in there somewhere I kinda forget when/where that arc happened.

FAST FORWARD and there are rumors of GARM REAPPEARING OOOOOOO spooky - our heroes head over to see and it turns out it's his kid, Lloyd Garmadon.

Makes me wonder if Lord is Garmadon's first name. Totally possible in this reality. Fucked up.

Annnnyways Lloyd is threatening to bring back that sealed culture of snake-people because everyone treats him like shit; because his dad is Lord Garmadon, ruler of darkness, the widowmaker, the man with a thousand deaths to his name, so on and so forth.

The Ninja kinda joke around, don't take him seriously, and leave.

So Lloyd, true to his word, goes and summons the Serpentine, the lost civilization.

As it turns out - they're all super cool. There's a bunch of Serpentine nations with specific traits that they're all proud of - and each nation has been sealed in a different vault. Also if you're bitten by one you start to become a serpentine. Also there's a sacred flute that can reverse this and was used to seal the Great Evil Serpent Guy.

So there's about four years of snake people content. Great stuff tbh. There's a lot about the ninja being super arrogant due to their win over Garm and it bites them in the ass every time. Kai is obsessed with being the main character (he's not, his sister is lol) which is shattered when he realizes his sister has secretly been kicking snake ass behind his back - and picking up the ninja's slack. With less collateral damage. Also the Serpentine have an entire self-contained political B plot wherein they try to leverage Lloyd to do...something. I forget. They betray Lloyd eventually (he's been styling himself as Lord Garmadon, ruler of the Serpentine and they get sick of it) and the Ninja take him in and apologize for being a buncha dicks.

There's a worldwide chase, Nya builds a flying dragon ship, the snakes get a snake helicopter, hijinks ensue.

Then the snakes win.

They summon the Great Devourer (name of the snake god) back into reality, and he starts doing his thing. Y'know, bringing about a new age of the serpentine, killing people, wrecking havoc, the usual for a primordial being of chaos. Our ninja have not learned at all from their experiences and get walloped due to their arrogance.

LLOYD HOWEVER goes through a MASSIVE character arc where he realizes

1) Fuck I'm like 15 and I may have caused the end of the world

2) Oh my god I treat everyone like an asshole

3) Oh my god my family is full of assholes

4) I have to be different ASAP.

There's this legend of a "green ninja" who will save everybody - kai thinks its him (because he's an idiot) but Lloyd puts in the work, goes off on his own, and gets the blessing of a green dragon.

Which ages him forward ten years legend of zelda style. He is there to face off against the great devourer as the Green Ninja with Green Ninja powers -

And fails because he is an untrained 15 year old in a grown man's body that he's had for like - two minutes.

As the Great Devourer readies to consume the world, with Lloyd as its first target, a shadowy portal appears...

AND GARM DROPS OUT OF THE SKY WITH FOUR FUCKING ARMS HOLDING THE FOUR SACRED WEAPONS AND STABS IT IN THE HEAD. With a huge gush of venomous blood the Great Devourer writhes in its death throes. Garm is back, he wants his son to be under his wing, and he promises a new age of darkness, now that he has defeated his only competition.

I kinda stopped watching after this bc I couldn't stand Kai but my brother's really liked it - tbh I think it's p neat.

Fixing up elemental powers lore for Tommy the post

Notes: this is mostly headcanon/theory ((headtheory?)) and very little of It is based on canon. This is because the timeline is a mess and id much rather come up with something else. If you have any other points from canon you’d like to mention then I’d love to hear it. But I will be mainly ignoring anything that semi proves otherwise because again, timeline is a mess.

S15 spoilers ahead

So… s15 introduced a lot about elemental powers, most of which directly contradicts what has already been established. And because, like always, Tommy is no help. I wanted to try to see if I can come up with something on my own to fix this confusing puzzle together.

The first spinjitzu master didn’t create the elemental powers

Im not quite sure why tommy is still so admit on trying to say this is the case when s15 directly disproves this.

The existence of a water elemental master BEFORE the fsm ever appeared in ninjago straight up tells us he wasn’t the one who actually made the elemental powers, and implied he wasn’t the one who gave it to the masters either.

Hell, if anything, it would make more sense if the fsm mastered all the elements by training under elemental masters. It would explain why he never mastered water and supposedly air if they were never involved with him to begin with.

It would make sense for the fsm to be able to learn how to master these without having his own element. He’s half dragon and half oni which relay on creation and destruction ((which I also don’t think are elements but I’ll get to that)). So he could easily learn to use elements with his dragon powers.

Another bit of evidence to prove the fsm didn’t give the elemental powers to people is because if he did then why did he need the golden weapons? If he had the elements he could just make ninjago without the weapons anyways.

So then where did the elements come from?

While there is no real answer to that because, well duh, we can atleast attest that elemental masters aren’t JUST a ninjago thing.

For one, not many people know this but ninjago isn’t the whole realm, it’s a single continent and there are more continents in the realm. Paleman and tox are from another series called ultra agents, which sure as hell doesnt take place in ninjago.

And second, the elemental dragons in the first realm seem to have elemental powers aswell, hell it’s been implied that they might actually have stronger powers then the normal elemental masters

So then where did they come from? Well there are some possibilities

1. The dragon themselves, they can travel through realms and also they could create humans ((I mean look at fsm)) it’s also implied any large reptile creature can realm travel because of wojira being mentioned in the never realm

2. The realm spirits or whatever the fuck the preeminent is

3. The elements are there own beings that can affect who has elemental powers

Elementals could exist ((I know this is headcanon territory but shut up and let me have this))

Do you guys remember those little animal badges

These things

They were on the ninja gi’s up until s8 where they just disappeared

They seem directly tied to the ninja themselves, because Kai has his lion badge even when he was a kid.

And in s2 you can see them in the pillars for the elemental blades

Is almost like those symbols are meant to be direct representations of the elemental power

I’d also like to point out the golden weapons, they aren’t able to use specific elements ((like fire)) UNLESS its in there actual weapon form

And yet when Kai recreates them in s10, they still work even though there not exact replications

What if the specific elemental powers come from the dragon symbols? The golden weapons can’t use the element unless the dragon symbol is there to access that power. And because dragon elemental powers are more powerfully the symbols only work on the golden material.

What if the animal symbols work the same? And that people are Able to create spells, weapons, and such that use those powers.

As for where the elementals would live, well…

Elements were formed from space, it would make sense if they lived in space and were using there powers to create realms and give other people a bit of there power

And also I just think it would be cool if the sun was a being that’s the center of the realms, much like how the sun is the center of our solar system

I don’t think wu, garm, and Lloyd have elemental powers Im sorry

there’s little actual evidence to prove that garm, wu, and Lloyd have elemental powers

They don’t appear on any elemental power lists

Chen didn’t need garm or wus powers to finish his spell even though water and wind are the only ones the fsm didn’t master

Lloyd’s power itself is super confusing because it’s never named outside of “green” but s15 saying that the fsm only mastered them could mean that he just passed down mastering the powers to Lloyd.. somehow?

If anything it’s more likely that there got there destruction and creation powers bc of the combination of oni and dragon blood, nothing elemental

And at this point if Lloyd does have a elemental power tommy needs to stop being a coward and actually say it

Summary

So my new sexy and powerful lore for ninjago elemental powers is that

A bunch of elemental beings came into existence when space was created ((by like idk a Big Bang or something)), they created the 16 realms and gave each of them there own set of elemental masters, the older realm elemental masters are the strongest while the newer ones are the weakest because of the elementals slowly giving away there power. They gave the elemental masters there powers so they can project/create there realm more then the elementals have already done.

[vortexbeyondthestars]

decided to post some of my ideas for a ninjago/atla au besties. tell me whatcha think

under read more cus its kinda long lmao

some background first…

here, the first spinjitzu master is smth that doesn’t actually exist in avatar bc i couldn’t for the life of me figure out what to make him so now he’s like… he’s basically the child of all the original benders: the badgermoles, the sky bison, the dragons, and the moon spirit combined. he was born of their powers, and he was the first avatar, kinda like this au’s version of raava i guess?? so this au’s version of vaatu is the overlord, and like in ninjago, they have this never-ending rivalry. and the overlord is an avatar, too, but more of a dark one. it only cares about corruption and evil.

the first bending master, as he’s called in this au, manages to banish the overlord into the spirit realm, but he knew that one day, it would return. so he creates a land called ninjago and fills it with people of all kinds, each corner of the world having one type of bending. he gave the humans bending, but only one type for each person.

he didn’t want a repeat of the overlord.

so then he has two sons: wu and garmadon. he hemmed and hawed over what elements to give to them, but eventually he chose. wu gets airbending, the element of life and serene and calm. garmadon gets firebending, rough and harsh and the element of destruction. his fire is violet and incredibly hot.

everything goes fine, and the first bending master manages to keep balance of the world as its avatar. except the overlord does indeed return.

garmadon gets corrupted by its spirit and is bitten by the great devourer. he becomes obsessed with power and wanted to be the avatar more than anything in life. he believes that his father was holding his powers back because he didn’t trust him. and he believes that his father was going to hand over his power to wu after he died. and he couldn’t have that.

wu notices his downward spiral and suggests that he take a trip to visit the mortals. maybe that would help him realize that there is reason for their father being the only avatar in the world.

so garmadon goes down into the mortal plane. and meets fire lord chen and his second in command clouse.

fire lord chen is quite interested in an old legend of what is called the serpentine: ancient tribes of snake people said to have been born from the hatred and despair of the overlord, led by the toughest and the greatest, the great devourer. chen wants to bring these serpentine back, and at first garmadon agrees to help him, if only to get revenge on his father.

but he snaps out of it, because he realizes that its the great devourer’s fault in the first place that he’s like this. he betrays chen and clouse and warns wu of their plan, but without telling him whose plan it is. together, the brothers manage to gather together an alliance of the greatest bending masters in the world. garmadon wants their father to help, but wu gives some unfortunate news.

the first bending master is near his deathbed. he is very, very ill, and he is thousands of years old at this point. he wants rest.

so, naturally, garmadon is conflicted about this. he’s ecstatic bc he thinks that he can gain the powers of the avatar once his father passes, but also he’s sad, because, well, thats still his dad after all.

but anyway, the bending alliance manages to defeat the serpentine and seal them away in the spirit realm, like the first bending master had done to the overlord. this… turns out to be a bad idea.

fire lord chen and clouse both manage to shift the blame away from them, and since garmy was the only one who knew they caused the plan, he lets it happen. because he still is a bit evil.

something happens that gives him hope, though: he meets misako, who might be the love of his life. (also in this au that weird love triangle shit don’t happen) they get married, and for a while, garmadon seems perfectly sane. but.

the first bending master dies.

lloyd is born almost right after.

no one makes the connection, though, thankfully, but it is enough for garmadon to lose whatever sanity he had left. he completely goes insane.

he races back to their family monastery believing that he can and will gain the powers of the avatar, somehow, but he doesn’t. and that is too much for him to take. all of this… all of this… waiting… for nothing?

garmadon stares at himself in the mirror. he looks down at his hand, at the bite mark blemishing his skin, and grabs a ceremonial knife. he laughs to himself and places his hand on the mirror, slowly raising his knife towards it… he thinks he can stop all this pain in one easy swoop.

garmadon, sneering at himself: maybe… maybe this will fix it… if i just cut off the damn thing…

first bending master, in the mirror: i would not recommend it, son.

garmadon, face falling: why are you here?

first bending master: i came to speak with you. and to try and help you.

garmadon, snarling: don’t pretend like you care about me! i know what you really think. you think i’m a monster.

first bending master: i think you’re conflicted. the part of you that wants to be the avatar so badly you are willing to kill for it… that part of you clashes with the real you. the one that wants everyone you care about to be safe. your brother, your friends, your wife… your son.

garmadon: *laughs and turns around* why should i care about them, father? they don’t care about me! not my brother, not my wife, not my so-called friends, and certainly not you! the only one who does care about me is my son, and thats only because he doesn’t know any better. he’ll leave one day too.

first bending master, solemnly: you are wrong. i do care about you. i always did. i love you, garmadon. i do.

garmadon shakes, his hand gripping the knife tighter. his mouths trembles, and eventually turns into a scowl. he whirls around to face the mirror and slams his knife into it, shattering it into pieces.

he gets worse from there on. he begins to attack people left and right, villages and cities, even going so far as to consider breaking the serpentine free. he doesn’t get that far, though, because his brother interrupts him.

wu is very concerned, bc, well, garmy was a bit weird but never straight up insane like he is now. so he heads over to his family’s old monastery. there, he finds garmadon, seething and stewing. garmadon doesn’t take his arrival well.

garmadon: ugh! for once, can’t you just leave me alone?!

wu: no, i cannot. this isn’t you, brother! you must snap out of it!

garmadon: this is me! this has been me for my entire life, wu! i can’t change it now, and i can’t even be the avatar. what’s the point?

wu: the point is that father trusted us to take care of ninjago once he passed on. we have a duty.

garmadon: father was a fool, and father was selfish! i am remaking the world in my own image, an image that won’t let anyone have the kind of power that he did, except for those who are worthy!

wu: that’s crazy! you can’t just pick and choose who gets to be the most powerful bender in the world!

garmadon: isn’t that what father did, though, when he died? who is the new avatar, wu?! tell me!!

wu: i don’t know. and neither will you, if you keep this up.

garmadon: *laughs* are you threatening me?

wu: i am.

garmadon: fine. you want to take control of ninjago over me? fine. fine. fine. i challenge you to an agni kai! the battle that was always meant to be.

wu: very well.

garmadon: for the record… i’m sorry it had to end this way, brother.

wu, sadly: no. you aren’t.

cue final agni kai type fight, light vs darkness. fire vs air. obviously, wu wins, and manages to chain garmadon up so he can’t attack anymore. garmadon then has a complete psychotic breakdown like azula, complete with the spitting fire and sobbing hysterically while wu watches sadly.

wu banishes garmadon to the spirit realm, because he doesn’t think there’s anything else he can do.

ninjago is saved.

or so he thinks.

see, chen and clouse are still around. as are the serpentine, biding their time in the spirit realm. they meet garmy and decide that they should work together. garmadon, so torn up by hatred and despair, agrees to help them, if he gets to destroy his brother.

meanwhile, everything is going good.

lloyd is the avatar, obviously, but he’s only like. thirteen when he finds out. he’s an airbender avatar and lived with koko (bc its my au and i get to pick the mom i use) in one of the air temples (idk which one tho). he’s raised believing that he’s just a random kid who happens to serve the avatar, kinda like kyoshi.

that avatar he believes he serves is none other than morro, the adopted son of airbender sage wu. morro is four years older than lloyd, and he was just revealed to be the airbending avatar. morro, of course, is thrilled. but he also gets an incredibly big ego over it, believing that he is better than other people bc he is the avatar. the reason he was thought to be the avatar was because he appeared to waterbend at one point, but it is later revealed to have been simple airbending that pushed the water.

but morro doesn’t realize or know this until its too late. and when he does… its a shitshow.

basically, lloyd and morro are sent to meet with fire lord chen and his daughter skylor, along with wu, koko, and some of the other air sages. skylor is a chi blocker, an incredibly talented one who has mastered all of the different bending fighting styles even tho she herself is a nonbender.

ok so clouse is obviously there. he recognizes lloyd via koko and is fucking pissed. he’s like my ex-boyfriend rival’s son is here?? what the hell?? so he keeps a close on eye on lloyd bc he doesn’t like him. morro, meanwhile, is treated like a king at the palace bc chen wants to get into the avatar’s good graces.

and uh. well, as it turns out, morro isn’t the avatar…

they’re attacked by the serpentine, bitter at the bending masters for having locked them underground. morro is excellent at fighting, but lloyd has more adrenaline.

and lloyd firebends.

cue shock and horror and anger from all sides.

i find plasmashipping to be hilarious as fuck because I'm betting that jay would have a big duality with kai n nya

with nya he's like my wife, the love of my life,!!!! basically the rightful malewife to a powerful girlboss and that's all well and good

but plasma hes like. oh im gonna be a bit of a brat actually.

let me explain

like is he still gonna treat kai right? hell yes we stan a really good partner. but full disclosure, jay is going to ruin him.

first, he is a surprisingly good flirt ok. like hc, kai can't handle flirting which is really fucking cute ans stuff like that. but also jay will lowkey whine abt stupid shit okay. like in a not hot or cute way it's downright annoying and kai has to deal w it cause he lovs his stupid bastard.

how, you may ask? well he starts by throwing kai into a loop a lot.

while i dont think kai is stupid in terms of street smarts, i bet he'd fail any 6th grade history homework. and jay is a nerd so. he constantly fucks with him by saying random history facts right. except half of the time its not even true its just there to mess w kai. and he's like bro there's no fucking way that'd happen, then asks zane.

(ik there's the whole thing with the spinjitzu masters and whatever but like. everything in between the wars like what about mini wars and stuff.)

next one is unintentional on Jay's part but i bet happens a lot and also adhd and self projection hcs woo. anyway, bet that jay loses random shit all the time and tends to blame the nearest person which happens to be kai a lot of the time—anyway they fight but usually end up finding it in like 4 minutes so it's fine

last one: okay so assuming the ninja don't actually slack off that much and hopefully train, occasionally kai has to do the strength training and you already know where I'm going with this. He does bench presses with jay and also carries him a lot which causes smug jay cause he likes to feel tall and from there he decided to just be a little nuisance to everyone. mans basically gets a god complex every time his bf carries him on the shoulders and/or bridal style

they all love him but MY GOD

#ninjago #plasmashipping #jay ninjago #kai ninjago #please help i think abt them alot #okay so these hcs are terrible and i kinda got them outta my ass but #grkfkskdkdks #this is just self projection and also hcs #i need to do more these r fun #I HAVE MORE COHERRENT THOUGHTS BUT I CANT SHIT THEM OUT SO HABE THIS CRAO RJDJFJ #ok sorry gonna brb anf touch grass

Part 3 - Lloyd...

No one’s POV......

As she almost fell deeper into her thoughts she heard someone call her name.

"Destiny ?! Where are you ?!"

'Oh great...what now ?!'

Destiny sighed.

"On the roof, Lloyd..."

He climbed out of her window and on the roof. He laid next to her, looking at the sky too.

"What are you thinking about ?"

"...Nothing..."

"You know you can tell me...right ?"

"IT ISN'T YOUR BUSINESS !! JUST SHUT UP !!"

Lloyd realized that Destiny got more aggressive than ever. Something was wrong...and he will try to find it out.

"Destiny....What's wrong ?"

"STAY. OUT. OF. THIS. GREEN. FUCKING. NINJA."

"Destiny I mean it. Tell me. I won't tell anyone."

She looked into the sky. Her beautiful dark blue eyes saw some stars and she was thinking about it again...

"Destiny, please let me understand you better. Don't let us think, that you are truly a bad person. Let us understand you. You promised on the island to tell us everything."

"Yeah, so ?! BACK THEN GARMADON WAS STILL THERE !!! BUT NOW ?! LOOK AT YOU AND YOUR STUPID FRIENDS !! YOU BANISHED HIM !! AND I DON'T GIVE A LIVING CRAP, WHAT YOU ALL THINK ABOUT ME NOW !! AND EVEN BACK IN THE PAST !! I DON'T FUCKING CARE !!"

With every word Destiny screamed at him he flinched and tried to make himself very small. He almost started to cry. She was right, but now Lloyd got defensive.

"You know we needed to do that. I didn't like it either, but it was the only thing to safe Ninjago.. And-"

"SHUT UP !! EVERY FUCKING TIME, YOU SAY THAT !! 'IT WAS FOR NINJAGO, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH' !!! IT WASN'T !!! YOU ALL JUST HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM AGAINST ME !! YOU MADE ME LOSE EVERYTHING I LOVED AND LIKED !! EVERYTHING THAT KEPT ME SANE !! EVERYONE I LET TOO CLOSE TO ME, IS FRICKING, FUCKING, SURE AS HELL DEAD !!! AND I HATE YOU FOR ALL THAT ! AND NOW SHUT UP !!"

Lloyd stared at you.

'So, she did love and liked someone people and some things... Then why didn't she show that ?'

She heard this question. She could read minds. (Don't worry ! It's not the only thing you can !) Destiny started to feel more angered.

"WHY DID YOU LEFT ME HERE TO ROT ?!"

Lloyd flinched at that scream of hers.

"If you did loved and liked...Then why didn't you show us that with crying or mourning ?"

"I SAID SHUT UP ! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT !! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT !! I AM NOT A CRYBABY !!"

"I am sorry..."

Destiny stopped and looked at him. She sighed.

"Sit down. I will tell you SOMETHING. And don't you dare to annoy me."

He nodded and sat next to her. Destiny sighed again and started.

"Long before you existed Garmadon and I understood us very well. We were like kids who didn't had parents. But actually we had. Wu was always alone. We didn't want him near us. We both heard very much adult music and that's why Wu was not allowed to come near us most of times. We heard music that wasn't good for him. I actually tried to stay away from Garmadon as well, but he always wanted to be near me, so with time I let him come to me and play or something. Wu did always the opposite, he wanted to stay away from me. We let Wu hang out with us once and he cried , because we didn't listen his baby music. King of lions to be exactly. We were 8 or 9 years old. We hated this music. The First Spinjitzu Master then came and was the opinion to tell me what I have to do and what not. I protested and said he wanted to. So it is his own fault. Garmadon then said that we warned him that we don't listen to child songs and Wu said he doesn't care. Then we let him. After that his Father believed us and told Wu to stop lying. After he died, we were still departed. We hated Wu and he hated us. As time went by...we both, Wu and me, realized that Garmadon becomes more bad. We decided, because of that, to let our guards down and try to get along together. We actually even loved us from day to day more. We did, with time, everything together. We were all thinking how the hell we did get along without being together in everything. We were unbreakable. With time Garmadon, Wu and I even pranked us every day with something. We had very much fun. Then Garmadon went to Chen and some things changed. We were together and Garmadon became very slowly bad, but when he went to Chen he turned faster bad. We were worried. As he went the first time to Chen...we had problems with having money. So I tried to put a band together. I played guitar and I could sing very good. I wanted Garmadon with me and teached him home some keyboard. Then 3 others came to us. I never met them before. They wanted to join the band if we have still some space there. We let them join in."

"Did they had names ?"- Lloyd

"Yeah they had." - You

"Can you tell me ?"

"Sure. Their names were: Bansha, Ghoultar and Andre. But some called him Soul Archer."

"Why ?"

"He could perfectly shoot with arrow and bow and aim and hit."

"Did he kill animals ?"

"No. He never killed. He was...well...the angel of truth and revenge, so I would say."

"Wow."

"He made those who did something horrible say the truth and let them see their nightmares come true. He just needed to aim and hit the person. And say a spell."

"WOW."

"I know right ? He was cool. Thanks to him every bad or evil person landed in jail. And he could play the drums like a boss."

"What he played the drums ?!"

"Yeah he was fantastic. Like I said. A boss."

You giggled.

"What played Bansha ?"

"Many different instruments. Sometimes trumpet, sometimes flute, sometimes violin and many other.."

"Wow. Cool."

"Jup. And sing she could too. She was like a little Witch. If she sings loud and scratchy, she can put you out of action for a while."

"Wow. And Ghoultar ?"

"Ghoultar was my sidekick. My second guitar."

"And how was he ?"

"Like me. A boss."

"Cool."

"You would die if I would tell you that Wu played an instrument too."

"What ?! Really ?!"

"Yeah he did. He played flute too, like Bansha. But he played like a boss."

"Cool !"

"Yeah we thought that too..."

"Why ? What happened ?"

"One day we wanted to go on tour. Sing and play songs and bring money home. We wanted to take Wu with us, but he refused. Garmadon felt betrayed and argued with him. Garmadon did not want to leave Wu alone. In the end we went without Wu. Garmadon became some - what unstable with the snake venom, because of that."

"W-what ? Because of that he went more unstable ?"

"Yes. But back to the story. Shall we ?", you asked Lloyd.

"Yeah...Go on..", he said slight in shock.

"After our tour we headed back. We always met in the weekend and they stayed until next morning. We pranked us, we laughed, we shared, we told each other our darkest and awkward secrets. We all had fun and departed from Wu again. Always when I feel it almost slip down I went to him and talked to him. With time he came down too into the basement and talked with. Garmadon was happy he was there. Like me. But then one day something went very wrong...We should have let them stay the night at us. Ghoultar got run over by a truck. Bansha died in a landslide on the way home. She had many broken bones. Andre was shot dead by an Archer. The arrow went straight to the heart. The worst was before that happened Soul Archer and Bansha did something, they shouldn't have done. They are cursed. And lost their memories about us. I miss them... But before they died, they met someone with us. Wu had found a kid that lived on the street and kept it. The name was...Morro. He was an Elemental Master. He trained, learned and lived with us. As Wu found out that Morro was an Elemental Master he made a huge mistake. Morro was obsessed from it and was back then a complete other person. He was mean all of a sudden. He wanted real hard challenges. Wu didn't gave him the opportunity. He wanted destiny to choose his fate. They both were disappointed from the result. Morro didn't want to accept this and wanted to train and learn more. He wanted to proof himself and destiny that he was....the chosen one."

"Wait ! Sensei Wu had a student before us and thought that Morro could be the Green Ninja ?!"

"Yes. Well, anyways.... Wu said that destiny has chosen and then Morro got mad and said...: 'Then I refuse to LISTEN ! I AM THE GREEN NINJA !! YOU MADE ME BELIEVE !!!' With that he walked away. Before that happened he told me he loves me. When I heard those words I walked away and stayed away from him. I never wanted to let him come close to me. I am cursed and that's why I am always careful around people. I never had any attention to let him come too close to me. I just talked to him when I needed to. Once in a night he ran into Garmadon and my room he said there was a monster in his room. We went inside and I saw a Werewolf. I bossed him to get out of the room. He fiddled and ran into Wu's room. I had enough. I ran after it and saw that he wanted to eat him. I threw it out and told Wu and Garmadon to close their eyes and to cover Morro's eyes and ears. They did as told by Morro, but watched me and the Werewolf. I killed it and send it per Portal into Space. As Morro could see and hear again he asked what happened and I said nothing. He argued with me that he isn't a kid who can't handle the truth. I snapped and screamed at him what I did. Every move of it. After that he stared at me in fear and shock. I laughed and asked him what he had expected I had done. He didn't say anything. He started to have tears in his eyes and I turned away and walked out for some fresh air. I regretted everything I just said and did. I shouldn't have snapped, screamed and told him. I made him cry. That showed again that I am just a Monster with small temper. I screamed very loud to let my anger and self- hate go. Garmadon then came out and said that I need to talk to Morro. What I had told him....all alone he will have nightmares. I shook my head and told him that I don't want him come too close to me. If I would let that happen and something happens to Morro...my soul would maybe break into pieces and I would be heartless. Garmadon insisted that I go anyways. I asked him why he wouldn't spent the night with Morro and he said that Morro would feel much safer when I am around. But I still refused until he said something that hit me very hard."

Whumptober 2: In the Hands of the Enemy

Collars

Day 2! I know @grungekitty-77 has been waiting a hell of a long time for this one. Enjoy the Devastation! haha see what I did there

Summary: As if the rest of this experience hasn’t been bad enough, Kai wakes up with a collar around his neck. He is absolutely not standing for this.

Trigger Warnings: kidnapping, stockholm syndrome, pet whump, starvation, dehumanization, creepy/intimate whumper, mention of death, mention of violence, and just like... general uncomfy vibes associated with the aforementioned warnings. If that sounds like it would bother you, please don’t read!

2825 words

Kai woke up with a deep ache in his body. It wasn’t anything he hadn’t felt before — Wu liked to make them train quite intensely, after all — but it still sucked.

But there was something else. Something different.

Though his neck was practically numb from the position he’d slept in, it almost felt like there was something around it.

Kai opened his eyes, blinking away the sleepy blur. He glanced around the room warily. 

Cole was fast asleep on the dog bed, and that enraged Kai most of all. The fact that Cole had been here so long that he’d accepted it as normal. The fact that no matter what Kai said, no matter what he did, Cole refused to listen. It made him want to scream.

But then he remembered that in order to have ended up like this, Cole must have gone through absolute hell. Kai had barely been here a few days, and already he wanted their captor dead.

How long had it taken Cole to break? What had been done to him that he could be shattered like this?

He wasn’t sure he wanted to know.

He pulled at the handcuffs, frustrated. His hands were cuffed behind him now, making it near impossible to do anything. In this instance, making it near impossible to figure out what the fuck was on his neck.

With a huff, he tilted his head to the side to try and get a feel of what was nearly choking him, awkwardly rubbing his bare shoulder against it.

It felt... weird. Almost like...

He glanced back at Cole. At the collar around his neck.

Oh, hell no.

He grunted, trying to bend his arms behind his back in a way that would let him get it off of him. He didn’t care if he broke a goddamn bone, he wasn’t taking this.

“Fucking…” he muttered, dropping his arms back down. It wasn’t working. 

But he wasn’t going to give up. He wasn’t going to let this sicko treat him like this. He was going to save Cole, make him remember, and get them both out.

He wondered briefly if Cole really had forgotten, or if he was just too scared to say that he remembered.

A large part of him wished it was the latter. It would certainly make things easier. It would just be a matter of convincing Cole that Kai would keep him safe, and then running far, far away. 

But with their luck, Cole really had forgotten. He really was convinced that he was worth less than a poorly-treated dog

No, poorly-treated was being too nice.

This was far from that. It wasn’t even on the same level. 

And this had been going on for a year. No wonder Cole had broken. 

But Kai was confident they could get out. Which started with getting this collar off of his neck.

The door swung open quietly. Kai didn’t even bother to act like he wasn’t trying to pry this stupid thing off, regardless of whether or not he choked himself while doing so.

His captor tsked, walking over briskly and kneeling down beside him.

“Silly little stray,” he said, his voice quiet enough not to wake Cole, low and controlling. “You’ll hurt yourself doing that.”

Kai laughed incredulously. “Like that’s not your whole gimmick,” he said, still unable to even reach the collar to begin getting it off. He knew he must have looked ridiculous, but he was pretty sure being half-naked and dirty and locked in a basement already did that for him, so. 

“You think I enjoy hurting you?”

Kai didn’t even bother with a reply for that one. Regardless of whether or not this guy “enjoyed” hurting him didn’t matter. Because, shockingly, both Kai and Cole were being hurt anyway. Intent didn’t matter.

The man sighed. “You’ll get used to your collar,” he said, a dark promise that Kai would rather die than fulfull. “It is just a training collar, after all. You’ll grow out of it.”

A training collar? Oh, he hated that. He was not going to stand for this. He turned the words over in his mind. First Spinjitzu Master, a training collar. What the hell was this son of a bitch on?

“And don’t worry, you’ll be rescued soon enough. You just have to be good until then.”

Rescued? Did this guy expect for his friends to save him? Who in their right mind would do something like this if they knew they’d get caught?

“What the hell are you talking about?” Kai spat, glaring at the guy fiercely.

“Oh my, that was very rude, you know. And we wouldn’t want to wake my perfect, precious little pet, now would we?”

“His name,” Kai glared fiercely, “Is Cole.”

“He hasn’t been that in a very long time, little stray,” he said, looking legitimately repulsed at the idea of Cole being called by his own name. “But we’re talking about you. How you’ll get rescued sooner if you’re good. Some people do love their rescue mutts.”

His captor hummed softly, smiling at him almost innocently. Almost. “I suppose they are more exciting to those that want that kind of thing. Me, I just want a quiet life with my happy little pet.”

And Kai was ready to maul the guy then and there, but then he kept going, and it just kept getting so much worse.

“You’re not what I’d pick, but I’m just training you, so my opinion really doesn’t matter.” 

Wait. Hold on. This guy didn’t mean rescue like the actual sense of the word. He wasn’t planning on Kai or Cole getting saved at all. This was more pet talk!

Oh, that made his blood boil. How dare this man speak to him like this? How dare he think himself to be so superior above them that he was just fine pretending they were pets?

Oh no. ‘Just training him’? He was going to be passed along to someone else! And then what would he do? He wouldn’t be able to save Cole! He didn’t even know where they were! And if whoever he was handed off to was half as crazy as this guy, then who knew if Kai would even be able to get out?

Shit, fuck, this was so bad!

Okay. Okay he had to think. This psycho had said that he’d get “rescued” sooner if he was good. Which meant the only way to buy himself time was to act out.

That, he was more than happy to do.

“You’re absolutely out of your mind if you think I’ll let this happen,” Kai growled, struggling against the stupid handcuffs and the stupid chain. “You’re fucking crazy!”

And yeah, he didn’t look pleased.

His captor sighed, shaking his head like he was really, truly upset about this.

“You’re a slow learner, you know,” he said, in a tone that one would speak to a toddler in. He slapped Kai hard, sending his head turning quickly to the side and practically imitating the feeling of whiplash.

Kai glared at him.

“You’d best be grateful that I don’t have the time to give you a proper punishment right now,” he said, a furious whisper as Cole groaned quietly in his sleep.

“You’d best be grateful I’m chained up so I can’t kick your ass,” Kai spat back.

His captor looked unimpressed. “I was going to let you have dinner tonight, but if this is how you’re going to treat your teacher, then I suppose you’ll have to go without food until you can be good.”

The man stood up, straightening his shirt. “I would make up your mind quickly, if I were you.”

With that, he left the room, the sound of the lock clicking ringing in Kai’s ears.

He sighed, getting as comfortable as the restraints allowed him to. He was going to be stuck here for awhile.

———

The next time Kai woke up, Cole was awake too, and was staring at him. Did he finally recognize him? Was he remembering?

“I like your collar,” he said, quiet.

Kai wasn’t sure whether to be delighted that Cole was actually talking to him, or horrified at what he was saying.

“Don’t—” Kai violently cut himself off. Cole didn’t need to be yelled at. He was probably traumatized beyond belief, and Kai needed to be patient with him, even if what he was saying made him angry.

If their captor was consistent, then poor Cole probably got yelled at enough. 

“Please don’t say that,” he said, forcing himself to sound calm for Cole’s sake. 

“Why not?” Cole asked.

Kai couldn’t believe he actually had to explain this to Cole. How could somebody fall so far? How could he think that something as demeaning and disgusting as a collar was perfectly fine and normal?

“It’s not — I don’t—” Kai sighed in frustration. “It’s not right!”

“Why isn’t it?” Cole asked, innocent. “Is it too tight? Master does that sometimes. He says that even the air we breathe is a gift, and we should be thankful for it. If you’re good, he’ll probably loosen it!”

Kai nearly burst into tears at that. He wanted to shake Cole by the shoulders and scream that that’s not how things should be! But the only thing he could do was sit there and furiously blink away the angry tears gathering behind his eyes.

That fucking bastard, Kai was going to rip his guts out if he tried to lay a hand on Cole again. He wasn’t going to let it happen. He’d gladly get… punished, himself, if it meant Cole wouldn’t be.

“It’s not,” Kai finally said. No matter what he said, Cole wasn’t going to understand. He needed to figure out a way to make him, but he couldn’t do that right now. He needed to gain Cole’s trust. 

It would take time.

“Oh, okay,” Cole said. “Oh, and try not to talk when Master is around. He doesn’t like that. I’m only talking because he said it was okay to talk to you.”

Of course. Of course Cole wouldn’t talk of his own free will. He’d waited for fucking permission to talk when that bastard wasn’t even around!

Kai turned away from him, trying to ignore the viscous growling in his stomach. How long had he been here? How long had it been since he’d last eaten?

Kai could handle going without food. Growing up, he’d always prioritized Nya’s need to eat over his own, he was used to going without meals. He was used to a few days without food, actually.

But he was practically at his limit, by this point. It had been, what? Two days? Three? He’d lost count. He didn’t know how long he slept for. He didn’t know how often their captor came to torment them.

He only knew the horrible pain in his stomach that hadn’t gone away once it had appeared. He only knew that Cole needed to be saved. He only knew that poor Lloyd was probably coping horribly. He was probably having an absolute breakdown.

He wished he could be there to comfort him.

———

Hours passed.

The pain only grew increasingly worse.

Cole occasionally spared glances at him, looking worried.

“Doesn’t he ever feed you?” Kai snapped, his irritation melting at the way Cole flinched.

Cole just nodded silently.

Fuck. He’d scared him back into silence. Kai sighed, shifting jerkily and groaning at the way his stomach grumbled. “I can go a little longer,” he muttered, rubbing his stomach in the hopes that it would help calm the pain. “I’m doing great.”

“No you’re not,” Cole said. “You’re acting mean. Pets shouldn’t be mean. Not even to other pets.”

Kai forced himself to ignore that last part in favor of addressing the more general statement: he was being mean. Cole didn’t deserve that.

“I’m sorry,” he said, “I’m just hungry. Can’t you convince him to bring food or something?”

“If Master brings food, I can’t just share,” Cole said, shaking his head like Kai had suggested an atrocity. “Master only wants you to eat if you’re good. You haven’t been good.”

Yeah, no, he was going to do just fine without food. It was all good. He wasn’t going to give up his dignity — again! — just to satiate a little hunger. He was totally fine.

The only sound for the next few minutes was Cole shifting on the dog bed, and the increasingly violent growling of Kai’s stomach.

Until footsteps sounded.

Kai looked up, that stupid door opening to show their captor’s stupid face.

“Last chance for the day, little stray. If you apologize and beg like a good boy, you get to eat. Surely you must be starving. It’s been so long since you’ve eaten. You can’t go that much longer without dying, can you?” He tapped his watch. “Tick, tock.”

Cole’s eyes widened at the “dying” part, and he looked up at their captor frantically, then glanced over to Kai.

Kai just glared at the guy. He was strong. He wouldn’t break again.

Cole mouthed one word. “Please.”

And Kai… couldn’t help but acknowledge the fact that Cole had risked everything for him that first day. He’d spoken out, without permission — which, according to him, was an ultimate sin — just to beg him to stay alive.

Cole had risked so much for Kai.

He couldn’t let himself die. Then, Cole would never get out of here, he would never remember the truth. Kai had to do it.

So, swallowing his pride, his dignity, and every single part of him screaming at him not to do it, he lowered his head.

“I’m sorry for misbehaving,” he muttered, though he couldn’t fully extinguish the fire from his voice. “Please let me eat.”

He glanced up, but his captor didn’t seem satisfied.

Fucking… fine.

“Please let me eat, Sir,” Kai grumbled, drawing back the sarcastic tone he wanted to use as much as he could. It still shone through.

“There’s a good boy!” Their captor said, delighted. “I’ll be right back with some food for you two.”

As he left, Kai slumped back against the wall. He was exhausted. It took a surprising amount of energy to put up with this.

“Thank you,” Cole said.

Kai smiled weakly at him. He was going to get him to remember. He would. And their captor would never see it coming.

Kai let his eyes slip shut as he waited for their captor to come back. After he ate, he could go back to sleep. That sounded nice.

The door opened up again.

“There you go, my darling,” their captor said, probably to Cole.

On the one hand, having his eyes closed made him feel very, very vulnerable. Especially after that whole drowning thing. That had brought back a lot of painful memories. That had just been painful in general, actually.

Okay, there wasn’t another hand. His eyes snapped open. Best not to open that can of worms. He didn’t want to break down in front of this man. He didn’t want to break down in front of Cole, either, but it was better than both of them. Besides, maybe Cole would actually be a little bit sympathetic.

“Eat up, little stray,” his captor hummed, smiling innocently.

Kai stared at the dog bowl. The dog bowl. For fuck’s sake, what had he been expecting? Being treated like a person? No, that would be too easy! That would be too simple, too sane.

He was going to yell, or say something, or flat-out refuse, but… then he wouldn’t get to eat. And then he would be hurt, and then he’d be made to beg all over again if he wanted to so much as survive, and then it would be so much worse.

His captor looked at him expectantly. “Perhaps you’re not hungry after all?” he asked. A warning. He had to make up his mind.

He glared at the man. He couldn’t believe he was fucking doing this.

Cole, on the other hand, seemed to have no problem with it. He was munching away happily on the food — which, thank the first master it was actual human food, not dog food or some shit (he wouldn’t put it past him) — but still. It was demeaning and uncomfortable.

But he was really, really hungry.

He didn’t look at his captor as he took a bite. 

It actually kind of tasted… good.

He could barely restrain himself from shoveling it all down his throat in one go, truth be told. Though, that could have been the starvation talking.

By the time he was done, and their captor was gone, Kai was left alone again (or, as alone as he could be with Cole there).

The realization hit him quite painfully.

He had just been fed out of a dog bowl. And he hadn’t even complained.

Ok my No Nuance November hot takes for the Ninjago fandom

Nia has an undercut. Bob or ponytail doesn't matter, undercut.

Her fashion sense is just as awful as Kai's. Just a bit more practical. When she's not dressing like the manic pixie villain in a 90s flick with borderline racist Japanese esthetics then she's walking around in athlesure ware and chunky combat boots.

I'm not all here for the Wu hate but he do be an asshole tho. He's not meant to be a father figure. More like a football coach he's mean and commanding. Dareth is the designated team dad. He's the one who brings them snacks and pats them on the back and tells them how badass they were out there.

Speaking of parents, jay's adopted Nia the second they met her. Even before they knew about jay's crush. Nia calls Mrs. Walker mom and they go on girls trios together and she calls her more than Jay does.

They also don't on Kai like a son but he's a little less receptive to it. It's good for him tho.

Lloyd has two different personalities a lot like Superman does. There's Lloyd and then there's the green ninja. He's usually goofy and soft and defers to nia or cole on most decisions until it's business time and he goes all green ninja. The others fall in line behind him just as quickly.

Cole is team big brother. I know Kai's gone all big brother on Lloyd and I respect that but cole is team big brother. Need someone to vent to? Cole. Need help with homework? Cole. Hugs? Cole. Superior taste in music? Cole. He seriously gives the best hugs.

Nia and Kai function pretty well independently but when they do get together they are scarily in tune. They communicate almost completely non verbally, unless their bickering. Which is terrifying in a fight and confirming domestically. It's not uncommon for her to trudge into the game room early in the morning after a bad night and just curl up against his shoulder.

Also, they do classic sibling shit like stand in the doorway and stare at eachother for no reason other than to be annoying. Sometimes he just opens her bedroom door when he walks by for no reason. They also make up none verbally. They have a blowout fight over dishes that ends with the kitchen curtains on fire and an hour later kai's replaced the curtains and Nia passes him a fucking code red she ran into town for. It makes no sense to the other ninja since their only children.

Lloyd is an alt kid. And he's a bit androgynous. You cannot tell me that boy hasn't worn a fishnet top to the grocery store. Him and Nia are alt fashion disasters together and it's beautiful. So much eyeliner, so many safety pins.

Nia is way closer to the guys after she starts her training. There's no reason for her to not be just as integrated into their schedule just because she's a girl. They've all definitely passed out on mats together. They share a stalled co-ed bathroom in the dojo so you know they're all leaning half asleep over the sink in the mornings brushing their teeth. The boys are fascinated with her hair routine.

They definitely all slept in a ninja pile in the never-realm. I don't care about the bunk beds its too cold for them to sleep separately. They all fight over Kai, and Nia wins because that's her big brother and she pulls rank.

Kai calls Nia mom patronizingly when she nags. It gets to point that all the ninja start doing it except Jay mostly because he doesn't even whine at his own mom like that. Lloyd does it the most even casually calling her mom in public. Sometimes when her and Kai get into it Cole jokes that Mommy and Daddy are fighting.

Eventually, it gets to the point that whatever two ninja are in charge in any given scenario are called mom and dad. Pixel and zayne dealing with a nindroid horde? What do we do dad? Coke and jay dealing with video game monsters manifested into the real world? Jay's whining about why he's the mom in this relationship.

Skyler starts coming around a lot more and her nia and pixel are terrifying when they get together. Girls night is an event for sure on the bounty. But mostly it's just nice to have other girls around more. Especially when you break an arm and need help bathing. Pixel is a life saver when your other top options are your brother or Zane.

Cole while a fan of a wide range of music is the metal head of the group. He's got rock t-shirts and punk bad posters and him an nia bond by going to concerts. She also barrows his t-shirts a lot for alt outfits since they just fit the aesthetic.

The boys have always known better than to go easy on Nia but when they started training with her they knew she was pretty new to spinjitzu and didn't want to seriously hurt the newb so they held back quite a bit. She was having none of it and ended up going really hard against them until in a three on three Cole swung at her thinking she was Kai in the red gei and nocked the living hell out of her. Sent her flying and Broke her nose. She payed him back with a sprained wrist and a trip over the side of the bounty before he could apologize.

Pixel and nia bond over building things, new toys for the boys mostly. Or working on Samurai X. But nia also teachers her how to thrift and alter her own clothes. Clothing wasn't something Pixel ever really had to worry about she just wore them ti make other people comfortable but getting to make things for herself with her own hands is one if her favorite hobbies now. She wears all kinds of aesthetics. Steampunk hippy is definitely a favorite tho.

Lloyd is the token guy allowed in the girl group. Sometimes when they go out to brunch together he tags along. They drink, and gossip, and shop and get their nails done sure. They also go to classes together and compete in races and elemental competitions and go to those businesses where you pay for an hour alone in a room full of glass and you just smash shit.

Ninjinktober 2019 (Day 13. Crossover)

Ninjinktober Prompt List by @ninjinktober

Ninjago + The Umbrella Academy... This is, quite possibly, the worst thing I have ever written. I love it. Enjoy!

(Read this on AO3 or FFN!)

___

“You’re just… You’re just kids dressed in costumes!”

Diego was losing his mind. They’d had so many people come into the precinct this morning, but this group of six dressed in ninja costumes took the cake.

“Weren’t you in that Umbrella thing?” the one dressed in blue said. “And weren’t you a comic book hero? Is this even real?”

Diego took one look at Eudora, who seemed just as shocked as him.

“And you say you have, what did you call it, elemental powers?” she asked as calmly as she could, but it was clear she was losing her sanity. She squinted at her notebook. “And you can do spin… Spinuitsu?”

“Spinjitzu.”

Diego slammed his head against the wall.

“Right.” Eudora took one final note and then turned to Diego. “I’m gonna go find records of their parents. You stay here and—”

It was then that Five appeared in a flash of blue, scaring the hell out of everyone.

“Woah, that was so cool!” the kid in red said. “How’d you do that?”

Five ignored him, turning to Diego and Eudora. “I believe I fucked up the timeline. I’ll be taking care of these six for you. Good evening.”

And with another flash of blue, his brother and the six strangers disappeared.

Eudora opened her mouth to speak, but ended up throwing her notebook on the table and sighing as deeply as she could. “Coffee. I need coffee.”

Diego could go for coffee.

[20:58] I mean I think that’s intentional,

[20:25] GOD THIS IS SUCH A WILD SERIES I LOVE IT SO MUCHHH

[19:59] I mean, Zane, you can say “Space has a way of taking one’s breath away” and technically be right, but I think you’re underselling it even with the whole “Doesn’t need air” thing

[19:21] You’re not an ASTROPHYSICIST, not an astronaut

[18:48] Cole really just accidently swatted Lloyd away huh

[18:10] But like, seriously, it does get a bit weird when you realise that they’re being written as humans (or mostly humans) and have the appearance of Lego. Like, even the Clutch Powers movie did more with the Lego nature of the characters!

[18:00] Well, farewell, Zane.

[17:49] OH SHITTT FUCK FUCK

[17:27] i lived bitch

[17:22] honestly Mood

[17:20] wait no OH CRAP OH CHRIST

[14:28] Kick! Ass! or well, shoot it, still, Jay!

[14:20] that is a fandom mood tho

[14:13] I MEAN… HOW

[13:31] God. This show’s got so much Chaotic Energy (and also no consistency YOU ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN’T DO SPINJITZU BECAUSE THERE’S NO RESISTANCE BUT KAI CAN USE HIS POWERS JUST FINE??? AND ZANE ISN’T RENDERED MUTE BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING TO CARRY HIS VOICE. OKAY OKAY)

[13:22] i love these dorks

[12:42] HELL YEAH

[12:18] Cryptor, you’re going to fuck up the ship.

[11:40] Well. This is going well.

[11:24] AH SHID AW FUCCKK

[10:42] Man, they keep having to form chains so people don’t fly off. That’s just another ninja tradition, it seems.

[10:30] WHAT THE HELL

[9:59] God. That’s… that’s not that impressive, honestly. Work on your aesthetic, Overlord.

[9:38] CYRUS NO

[9:29] They survive this.

[9:09] god when will pEOPLE STOP FALLING OFF THINGS AND THEN ARE CAUGHT BY SOMEONE AND THEN WE ZOOM OUT TO SEE A CHAIN OF PEOPLE HOLDING ONTO THEM THIS IS LIKE THE FIFTH TIME

[9:00] Okay, not a chain this time, but y’all get the FUCK OUT OF THERE

[8:23] And we’re stuck on the asteroid!

[7:48] (Kai) “Are you telling me that this entire ship starts up with a simple key?” God, yeah, I don’t believe that either. Like, does anyone have a card or a bobby pin, we need to steal this entire fucking spaceship! What are these defences?

[7:02] Like, there’s FIRE. There’s oxygen in this place!

[6:58] Wait, no, I was mistaken. That’s the weapons.

[6:52] So we just have to get the key off Cryptor?

[6:24] wh. what is the point of the Alien Beetle

[5:54] Oh, it’s a cute lil’ murder bug!

[5:39] SHIIIIT

[5:35] wait does Zane have nerves

[4:29] OH!!!

[3:49] Some Fifteen Year Old Fucking Destroys The Enemy Using Alien Beetles

[2:45] god is the soundtrack on any websites??? because it fucking SLAPS

[2:33] LIKE HOLY SHIT IS IT GOOD

[1:18] Well!

[0:43] Shiiiiiiiiit.

[0:28] THE WEEKEND WHIP IS SUCH A WHIPLASH INDUCING SONG

#ninjago #jaime sobs over ninjago season 3 #the void

[localguy2]

I've watched the first 7 episodes of Dragons Rising and while yes I haven't finished it I have so much to say.

First of all, the animation, holy fuck the animation looks so good, and here I thought that it couldn't get better than Crystalized's animation.

The fight scenes are once again, incredible, standard with Wildbrain's animation, the set pieces and backgrounds and just everything is so incredibe and including the Ninja powers & Spinjitzu, which may I add both look absolutely gorgeous.

Wildbrain has taken it to the next level, so amazing job to them.

Arin and Sora and Riyu.

Fuck me i love them already so much-

poor Sora got treated so badly, she reminds me of Nya when she was still figuring out her powers, she's frustrated of herself and feels responsible for the Photacs despite it not really being her fault, she was still young when she made them and the Imperium used her technology for things she resented can't wait to see where she goes next.

Arin.

I don't even know what to say, he's just so damn loveable, it broke my heart to see him ask the Cloud Kingdom writers to bring his parents back, because despite being at least a bit more mature and skilled, he's still just a kid at the end of the day, and that scene with him in Imperium when he finds that group of kids like is just... Fuck man, he literally says he feels so seen, he saw people sorta like him but that was also taken away with how they immediately started talking about serving the Imperium Claws, such a good character and I'm hyped to see what they do with him.

Riyu.

Little dragon baby, that's all I'm gonna say, you just can't hate on him, are you seriously going to pick a fight with a little guy like that?

Okay now, old team members.

Finally, we got actual RGB siblings content, not like a few seconds worth of interaction, and hell it's really good as well.

They just take the piss at each other and mess around, I especially like the scene in the Cloud Kingdom archives, and the one on the new bounty where Sora explains how Arin told a barber to give him "The Zane", only for Kai to interject and tell Arin to get "The Kai", it's such a fun scene.

Nya is badass as always, great to see, I especially love how she's respected by the craglings to the point that their leader takes her word for a lot of stuff.

Kai has taken a more responsible role while still being himself, which I love so much because he's being serious while also being the dumbest guy alive

And Lloyd is well, Lloyd! He's just chilling and I'm happy that not all focus is on him, actually that brings me to another the point, the show doesn't really focus on 1 character all that often, it keeps changing POVs constantly and it's really nice, props to them.

Sidenote: this scene... Ugh man it hits...

Lloyd is so surprised by this, and the kids coming along to explain it is just uhhhh I love it.

Finally, dialogue, lore and the humor.

One of my biggest gripes with Ninjago from SotFS to Crystalized is was that it was no longer a story with some elements of comedy, rather it was a comedy with a story.

It still told really good stories don't get me wrong, but the comedy just didn't land most of the time, and that sorta unintentionally affected the story as well, it felt too childish and while Ninjago is a kids show, the jokes were just too on the nose sometimes.

But, with Dragons Rising?

Haha, NOPE!

I love the comedy here, it's so goofy and fun at times but it's never on the nose, I found myself constantly smiling when they joke about something, the gags are aimed at kids and adults as well, and it shows.

This scene for example.

This is such a ridiculous and goofy gag I can't help but smile each time I see it, and the series keeps this type of humor up the whole time, it's fantastic!

The lore.

Jesus man I love the world they've built, it's so good and you really feel the sheer diversity and verity of the Crossroads, you really get a feel for it.

It basically screaming: The Merge displaced so many many people, which is everyone is welcome here regardless of what you are, Nindriod, Frog, serpentine, Human, anything! You're accepted here.

And I think that's lovely.

And for the Dialogue, it's excellent.

It reveals what you need to know most of the time using Flashbacks, and these flashbacks are nice as well.

The dialogue isn't boring, not at all, even if it's a small comment and it feels really fitting most of the the time thankfully.

Now, the only issue I have with DR is potentially the pacing, but I literally don't have it in me to blame the predoucers.

This is the first time this team has tried writing 22 minutes long episodes, and they have done an absolutely spectacular job at that so far.

Remember, this team is used to writing 11 minute episodes only, so you could imagine how challenging it was for them to write a 22 minute episode.

And the best part is, they pulled it off almost flawlessly, they hit perfectly with the humor, world building, lore and just everything, seriously amazing job to these guys!

So overall, Dragons Rising Part 1 so far is absolutely awesome, I still haven 3 more episodes and I honestly can't wait to finish them, I'm so excited for part 2 and I hope yall are as well.

#ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago dragons rising spoilers #ninjago spoilers #Love this show so much

[aweebwrites]

Lloyd, Son of...

(Thanks for promting me on this @ninjagotree101! I'll tag you too @cakeking-cole since you wanted tk check it out!)

_____________________

Lloyd smirked as he flipped out the way of Kai's fireballs during training.

"You'll have to do better than that to take me down Kai." He smirked as his hands glowed green.

He then started up his Spinjitzu, heading straight towards him.

"We'll see about that!" Kai yelled, starting his Spinjitzu too, both of them coming together and clashing several times before they were both thrown back.

Kai groaned as he sat up, shaking his head before gasping to see Lloyd.

"Lloyd!" He yelled as he ran over to where he was laying, unconscious. "Oh shit! I'm so sorry! Sensei Wu!" He yelled out, looking away to see where he was and missing when Lloyd peered an eye open.

"Ha!" Lloyd yelled, pouncing on him and holding him in a choke hold.

"Dammit Lloyd!" He grunted out and Lloyd laugher as he let him go. "Not cool! I was worried something actually happened to you!" He glared at him and Lloyd smiled ruefully.

"I'm sorry. From now on, no fake injury act." He says, placing a hand on Kai's shoulder.

"Good." Kai nodded then got up, pulling him up too. "And just so we're clear you totally didn't just win that round." He pointed out and Lloyd snickered.

"Whatever you say Kai, whatever you say." He says amused.

The scene brought warmth into heart of their Sensei who was watching by the door.

"Lloyd's come a long way, hasn't he?" Wu looked back to see Misako smiling at him.

"Yes. He has." Wu says quietly. "You should tell him." He says, looking out at the duo who continued to train while the others were on a short trip in New Ninjago City.

"As should you." She says, standing next to him to watch her son.

"I can't exactly tell him when you haven't told your part." Wu says pointedly, expression calm.

"You could still tell him without him knowing my part first." Misako hummed.

Both looked at each other.

"We cannot keep doing this. He deserves to know." Wu told her and Misako sighed.

"I know. I should have told him a long time ago. But what should I say? 'Lloyd sweetie, your father isn't your father'?" She whispered and Wu wore a look of understanding.

"What?" Both turned to the two ninja before them with a gasp.

"Lloyd..." Misako says, guilt filling her at his shocked expression.

"You're joking... Right?" Kai was the one to speak up, looking between her and their Sensei.

Misako and Wu shared a look before she sighed.

"No. Unfortunately it is not a joke." Misako says as she stepped down, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Lloyd, sweetie..."

"My dad... Garmadon's not my dad?..." Lloyd whispered, feeling as if he picked a sudden case of vertigo.

"... No. He isn't son." She says and Lloyd struggled to blink away the sudden lightheadedness that hit him.

"Then... Who is?" He whispered, not even sure he wanted to know the answer.

"Well..." Misako whispered and Wu stepped forward.

"I am." He says quietly and Lloyd stumbled back, breathing picking up rapidly as he turned away.

"Lloyd!" Kai ssys, holding onto him, knowing the signs of a panic attack anywhere. "You have to breath Lloyd. Deep breaths. In, out. In, out." He coached as he felt him shake.

"Lloyd-"

"Stay back Sensei!" Kai growled at him from over his shoulder.

"Woah, what's going on?" Nya asked as she and the others ran over to where Lloyd was trying to work through his panic attack.

"It is unwise to crowd him." Zane says, holding them all back.

"Keep breathing, you're doing great." Kai told Lloyd, rubbing his back.

Lloyd on the other hand was not doing great. What the hell does she mean Uncle Wu was his father. What the absolute fuck?! All these years, all this time, his whole life has been a lie? Is this some kind of sick joke? Did his father- did Garmadon know about this? Why the hell did they think it was a good idea to hide something like this from him?! He pulled away from Kai turning around to face Wu and Misako.

"What kind of sick joke is this?!" He snapped at them breathlessly, not fully recovered from the anxiety gripping him still. "You-! You're my dad?!" He yelled, gesturing to Wu and the other Ninja gasped.

"Lloyd, ple-"

"No! No, no, no, no!" He yelled, cutting Wu off. "I can't believe this! I can't believe you!" He growled, gesturing to his mother.

"Are you even really my mother? Did dad- did Garmadon know about this?! What the hell else are you hiding from me?!" He snapped, red in the face.

"Of course I am." Misako whispered, stepping towards him, feeling hurt when he stepped back. "It's best we tell you from the start." She says, looking to Wu.

"It all begins with Morro." Wu says and Lloyd huffed in disbelief.

Of course. What? Is Morro is brother now?

"What does Morro have to do with the fact that you lied in Lloyd's- in all of our faces about this?" Cole asked, more than a little peeved on Lloyd's behalf.

"I'm sorry Sensei but this is the worst secret you've kept from us yet. I'm beginning to ponder if there is any truth in the words you speak." Zane says with distrust.

"No, I want to hear it. I want to hear how they justify hiding all of this." Lloyd says, looking at his friends from over his shoulder. "Go ahead, father." He says mockingly and even though it struck Wu deeply, he decided to tell the tale.

"When my brother had been banished to the Underworld, he left behind a mourning brother and a pregnant wife. The child Misako gave birth to... Was Morro." He says quietly and Lloyd laughed.

A humourless, bitter, ugly laugh.

"Of course. Morro's the true son of Garmadon. Wow. Perfect." He says then sat down on the ground because his breathing was picking up again and he was feeling like a really bad asthmatic.

"Just keep breathing bud." Cole says, kneeling next to him.

"Might as well keep going." Kai says, shooting them a glare.

"Right." Misako sighed. "Morro was my first son, Garmadon's only child. Wu and I raised him as best as we could without his father. The late master of wind had passed his powers over to Morro, seeing the potential he had and so Wu began training him to use his powers well. I had already started researching the final battle then and we thought it all pointed to him being the Green Ninja. But once it turns out we were wrong... He became obsessed, doing terrible, dangerous things to prove his worth but he was simply not meant to be. He left to find his grandfather's tomb in the dead of night. We couldn't find him and after a few years... We finally accepted that he had passed." Misako explained then fiddler with a button on her shirt. "We were both grieving since he was just as much as a son to Wu as he was to me. Things took a turn and well- I became pregnant with you." She whispered.

"... If you knew I was your son Wu... Why." Lloyd lifted his head, face wet with angry tears. "Why leave me at Darkly's? Why not take me in when I was kicked out with nowhere to go?" He growled at him.

"I did try. Several times. But you seemed more content with Serpentine company." Wu justified and Misako placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Darkly's was my fault." She whispered. "I had just lost one son. I didn't want to lose another. Not when you fit so perfectly in the prophecy of the green ninja. So I had taken you once you were old enough and sent you there-"

"But why Darkly's of all places?! My life was a living hell there!" He snapped at her, not about to be given the run around.

"The other schools were too far out with too bad of a reputation. They didn't keep the children they taught either. I... I had a friend there I trusted. She didn't condone what they were teaching the children there. She was working with a few others to change how Darkly's operated. The only way for her to be able to get you in was to list you under your uncle's name. What I didn't expect was for them to be discovered and fired. They wouldn't give you up and she couldn't force them because the documents were all signed by me... And I was nowhere near by at that time. I only found out about what happened shorty after the Overlord's first defeat." She explained to him.

"But I don't get it. Why did Garmadon keep calling him son if he knew?" Nya asked with a frown.

"He does know... Right?" Jay asked slowly.

"Yes... But also No." Wu says then sighed, placing most of his weight on the staff he held. "When I had gone to the realm of madness for his help in rescuing Lloyd, I soon realised he would not help him unless he thought Lloyd was his. So I had lied." He began.

"No surprise there." Lloyd huffed, the shock and panic giving away to numbness.

"I had told him the truth the moment we had a moment alone after Lloyd was saved. It... Turned out to be too much for him." Wu whispered. "He couldn't handle the knowledge that while he was trapped in the Underworld, his true son had been born, had lived and died without him even meeting him once. He had convinced himself that you were his child still and given that Morro's death was on my hands, I allowed it. A son for a son. But as I watched you grow and thrive, the weight of this secret we've kept from you grew as well.." Wu says solemnly.

"We knew we should have told you long before but you looked so happy and we couldn't bare to ruin that. If you'd like, this doesn't have to change anything-"

"Doesn't chang- are you kidding me?!" He snapped at her, anger returning at that. "You dropped something like that- which might I remind you that you did on accident- and you expect everything to just... Go on as if I didn't just learn my uncle, my Sensei is my real father after all these years?!" He snarled, getting to his feet.

"Lloyd-"

"I don't want to hear it." He interrupted his supposed father with a hand held up. "I just- i can't even- I-" He paused to take deep breaths before looking away.

"I need some time." He says, walking away, past his friends before he began running.

"Lloyd!"

"Please son!"

Lloyd ignored them, summoning his elemental dragon and taking off. He glared ahead, determined not to look back. Images of all the times he's spent with his father flashed before his eyes. From the volcano rescue to the first time he saw him after the tomorrow's tea incident. He remembered the joy he felt when he saw his father after the Overlord's first defeat, their journey into Hiroshi's Labyrinth, the time they spent together in his Monastery, their time on Chen's Island, watching him sacrifice himself to save Ninjago, seeing him again in the Cursed Realm. He remembered it all and couldn't help but cover his mouth as he shook wirh sobs. It was all nothing?!

He swallowed back the sobs to come and swiped furiously at his eyes. They're lying. They have to be. He gripped the reigns tight with determination. He'll get the truth and he knows just where to go.

___________

"Thanks for allowing me to see my father Mr. Warden." Lloyd says as he lead him through Kryptarium Prison.

"No problem. Anything for the Green Ninja!" He says, opening up the thick metal doors that lead to his part of the prison. "Just press the buzzer on the inside when you're done." He says as they waited for several rows of doors, lasers, spikes, knock out gas and darts to open and become unarmed.

Once they were, Lloyd took a breath then walked towards the dark figure locked in a glass cage. He stopped before them, red eyes looking down at him without feeling.

"And under what honour do I receive a visit from the Green Ninja himself." Garmadon asked, looking down at him wirh all four of his arms crossed.

Lloyd swallowed.

"Am I your son?" He asked, keeping his voice strong but it still broke halfway through.

Garmadon was silent, looking down at him with cold, unfeeling eyes.

"I told you before, didn't I?" Garmadon says quietly. "I have no son." He hissed and Lloyd's next breath was a shudder, failing to stop the tears filling his eyes.

"Not here. Not in Ninjago." He continued, turning away from him. "My true son is in the Departed Realm."

No. No. This can't be. He is his father! He- He had to be!

"If you only came here to discuss Morro, then you may as well leave now. My son is dead." He says, walking towards the other end of the cell, away from Lloyd.

That the final nail in the coffin. His legs gave out.

"So it is true." He whispered to himself, tears blurring his vision.

"Let's go Lloyd." He looked up once a hand touched his shoulder, seeing Nya and his friends there.

He nodded numbly, letting then pull him to his feet and escort him out of the prison.

"There's a wise saying for a situation like this." Zane spoke up once they were outside the prison.

"Not the time Zane." Kai says irritibly.

"No. Let him say it." Pixal says, nodding at Zane.

"You may not be able to choose your family but you can chokse your friends." Zane says and Lloyd looked up at him as they stood there, staring out at the Badlands.

He looked at them all and gave a tired, wistful sigh.

"Yeah..." He whispered before all of the day's revelations caught up to him, leaving Cole to catch him once he fainted.

"Poor kid. He's been running on fumes." He says once he picked him up bridal style.

"That was a dirty secret to keep." Nya says, pissed off.

"Sensei doesn't even matter right now." Kai says then summoned his elemental dragon. "Lloyd's our priority. We'll be his family. Right now, let's get him somewhere to rest." He says to his friends who looked at their emotionally and physically exhausted friend.

"You heard the man." Cole says as he was lifted off the ground by his own dragon. "Let's get the kid home."

___________________

(*has anxiety because this feels short* Tada! I really struggled on who Lloyd's really father would be but I felt it being Sensei Wu would have a bigger impact. And impact it had. Just know which Lloyd does eventually accept the truth of the situation, he won't speak ot his parents out of obligation for a long time to come. Calling them 'mother and father' is even farther out. Whelp! I hope you guys liked it!)

I’M LATE BUT!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY @justsomerandomweebo!!! I hope you know how much I love you, I couldn’t ask for a better friend 💕💕💕

So anyways, this was based off an idea we had from a long time ago (Not sure if you remember but I do) and it’s basically the whole team + Cryptor and Kozu doing team a building exercise and making cakes together!!

3002 words, a little bit of swearing? I apologize for the ending, I got lazy. Hope you like it :))

____________________________________

Kai stared blankly at the list in his hands. “Uhh, flour…”

“Yeah airhead, but how much do we need—“

Too late. Jay had already started pouring the bag into the mixing bowl, immediately drawing the attention of Nya.

“Jay, no!” She yelled, pulling the flour out of his hands before he could do any more damage. “You need to know how much before you pour it!”

“Sorry!” Jay said sheepishly. “Just got excited…”

“You fucking idiot, now it’s ruined.” Cryptor growled from behind him.

Jay shrunk back in embarrassment, watching the flour settle around his feet. 

“You don’t know that! Maybe we can still save it!” Lloyd snapped back while scooping flour out of the bowl with a spoon.

Cole joined him with a spoon of his own. “Yeah, the kid’s right! We just need to work together on this!”

“I believe it should be ok if we can manage to extract most of the excess flour.“ Zane added. 

The team all gathered around, trying to undo the damage. “Let me see that.” Nya pulled the recipe sheet out of her brothers hands.

“Hey!” Kai said in a slightly annoyed tone. Cryptor snorted in laughter, and Kai shot him a glare.

“Maybe if we all were given separate tasks, it would be much more efficient.” Cole suggested to Nya. 

Which of course, was a good idea. They had no organization and no solid plan whatsoever. Put simply, they were an absolute mess.

“How do you…” Kai squinted at the recipe. “Cream butter and sugar?”

“Means you mix them together, you fucking fool.” Cryptor was already ahead of him, mixing the ingredients together. 

“Hey, work together guys!” Lloyd scolded them as Kai opened his mouth to argue. “Ok, well looks like Cryptor’s got that part down. What’s next?” 

“We need two eggs—”

“Um, about that…” Jay said. “We, ahem, may have doubled that…” 

Nya rolled her eyes. “Must I do EVERYTHING??” She sighed.

“Nya,” Pixal said, looking over her friends shoulder at the recipe. “It would appear that we are missing the half cup of milk. Shall I go and—“

At that moment there was a loud crash outside.

“What the in the name of the first Spinjitzu master was THAT?” Cole said.

Everyone ran out the door and down the hallway to the garden, drawing weapons. They all stopped short when they saw what it was.

Kozu stumbled back in forth with an entire cow in his arms. His tank top and jeans were ripped and muddy, his face was streaked with dirt and mud. To complete the look, he was missing a sneaker. The cow mooed confusedly and kicked its feet, attempting to break free. “IM GETTING THE MILK!” He yelled while trying to still the squirming cow. 

Everyone exchanged confused glances. “Er… Kozu, want some help with that?” Cole yelled back.

“I AM… ALMOST GOT IT, JUST YOU WAIT!” 

“Uh, Cole, wanna help him out anyway? He looks like he could use it.” Lloyd said to Cole.

“Yeah. He’s gonna hurt the poor thing.” Cole ran to help.

“Think he can handle it?” Jay asked nervously, watching Kozu trying to pin the cow with three hands, using his fourth to wrestle it’s head to the ground.

“I… think he’s got it.” Lloyd said, reluctantly turning away from the scene in front of them.

They all headed back inside.

While Kai and Cryptor bickered over the egg situation, the other five put their heads together and began brainstorming different ideas for decorating.

“What if we did one of those tower cakes!” Jay said excitedly. “With lots of different color swirls and patterns!”

“Perhaps, but I’m not sure if we would have enough cake mix for that to work. Maybe we should just do one layer?” Pixal suggested.

“Or maybe two? We could level it and put frosting in the middle too.” Nya put in.

“Sounds good too me. Whatever works.” Zane said.

“We should wait and see how much we have when we’re done. We could always make another load if we wanted a bigger cake, and just double the recipe. We need to come up with something that everyone agrees on.” Lloyd reminded them.

“Vanilla’s all mixed in.” Cryptor said. 

Kai tagged along behind him, covered in a noticeable amount of raw egg. It was all in his hair, dripping down his chin and all over his sweatshirt.

“What happened to you?” Nya asked.

“Cry thought it would be funny to crack a raw egg in my hair.” Kai growled.

Cryptor smirked and shrugged. “I was curious to see if it would fry or not.”

Kai gritted his teeth and glared daggers at him. Cryptor chuckled in response, not at all fazed.

“Alright. Kai you go shower.” Nya steered her brother out of the room, winking at Cryptor as she passed. 

He saluted in response. As Nya and Kai headed out, Cole and Kozu entered. Kozu ducked as he passed under the doorframe. “We have milk!” He beamed, holding out a large bucket proudly.

“Nice job!” Zane smiled at him.

Kozu set the bucket down on the table. “Pix, how much of this are we gonna need?” Cryptor asked her.

“Add a half cup to the bowl and stir until the batter is smooth.” She instructed.

Kozu frowned. “I did all that and all we need is… half of a cup?”

Cole nodded. “Yeah, but you did a great job getting it dude. It’s ok, we can save the rest for later!” He reached up and patted his friend on the back. Even though Cole was one of the tallest ones in the room, Kozu still towered several feet over him.

“Alright. Half cup. And now the flour?” Cryptor glanced over, waiting for his fellow nindroids to approve.

“Leave that to me.” Zane helped pour the right amount of flour into the bowl.

“Thanks guys!” Almost all ready for baking!” Lloyd said excitedly. 

“Oh yeah that’s right!” Nya said as she walked back into the room. “What’s the plan for that?” 

“Shouldn’t we wait for Kai to decide on anything?” Jay asked. “So we can all talk about it together?”

“Nah.” Cryptor said as he stepped forwards to join them. Him and Kozu towered over everyone else as they all surrounded the table.

“Well, we have all these pans, so there’s a bunch of different combinations we can choose from.” Lloyd said, gesturing to the collection of glass and metal pans.

“We should definitely do layers of some sort.” Nya agreed. 

“The question is, how many?” Jay added.

“Doesn’t matter to me, as long as I get to eat it!” Cole said.

“We could each have our own individual layer and decorate it separately.” Zane suggested.

“No, we should do it together. Or maybe in teams?” Lloyd said.

“Teams might work better.” Pixal suggested.

“Then it’s a plan. We have more than enough batter here.” Lloyd pointed out as he dipped a finger in it. “Maybe teams of two?”

“Teams of three would be a more logical choice, given that there are nine of us.” Zane said.

“Then teams of three it is.” Nya agreed. 

“Three cakes, three teams.” Jay concluded. “I like it!”

“Team?” Nya grinned at him.

“Team!” He smiled back.

“I’ll take Kai on my team.” Cryptor nodded. 

Zane and Pixal nodded at each other.

“Then left is me, Cole, and Kozu.” Lloyd said.

“I will go with Cryptor.” Kozu said, glancing over at his friend.

“I’ll go with Zane and Pix.” Cole said.

“Guess that leaves me with Jay and Nya.” Lloyd whistled in approval.

“What’d I miss?” Kai walked in.

“You’re with me.” Cryptor looked over at him.

“Sounds good.” Kai walked over to join him and Kozu.

Everyone got to work.

“Alright, I was thinking a tower cake?” Nya said to her friends.

“Sounds like a great idea!” Jay nodded excitedly.

“Whatever works for you guys.” Lloyd smiled. “How many levels? We don’t want to build it too high or it could fall easily.”

“Good point.” Nya chewed her lip.

“How about three? One for each of us, and that won’t be that hard to do.” Jay suggested.

“Yes!” Nya clapped.

“Nice idea Jay!” Lloyd picked out three circle tins from the pile. “How do these look?”

“Great! Now we just need to spray them and fill em up!” Nya said, helping him scoop batter into the tins.

Meanwhile, things were looking great at Pixal, Zane and Cole’s group. 

“Cole, would you like to suggest any ideas for our cake?” Pixal asked him.

“Honestly, as long as I can eat it, I don’t care what it looks like.” Cole grinned. 

“Easy enough. What do you say we do something simple? Maybe two layers?” Zane suggested.

“It sounds like we have a plan.” Pixal grabbed the pans and the three worked together on filling them.

Things weren’t going to well with group three.

“How about a huge cake with like twenty layers, all different colors?” Kai suggested. 

“That’s not gonna work you fucking idiot. We don’t have the skills to pull it off.” Cryptor snarled at him.

“Can it be red?” Kozu asked.

“Red’s good.” Kai pointed at him. “I like where you’re going with this.”

“Twenty layers and bright red.” Kozu sat fowards and winked at Kai.

“Hell yeah! We’re gonna have the best cake for sure.” He leaned back and put his feet up on the table.

Cryptor sighed. “Are you serious? That’s so unrealistic…” he paused when he realized his friends weren’t listening.

“You’re kidding me. Of all the crazy shit…” he mumbled while gathering the rest of the pans.

He threw a few at Kai and Kozu. “Fill.” He instructed.

Kai rolled his eyes as he and Kozu got up and helped him fill up the pans.

“Nice teamwork guys!” Lloyd complemented as they took the cakes out of the oven a few minutes later. 

“Mmm, those smell so good!” Jay added. 

“Yeah they do…” Lloyd licked his lips hungrily.

“Not yet! Remember, we still need to level and frost them. But we have to wait for them to cool first. What color should we do?” Nya asked.

“Hmm… what about blue?” Jay suggested.

“Oh! And green?” Lloyd added.

“I like it! Yellow would go nice with it too. Maybe white trim.” Nya concluded.

“Love it!” Lloyd and Jay nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s a plan!” 

The three got to work mixing frosting together. 

“Lloyd, do you have the pastry bags?” Nya asked.

“Sure do! And here’s the blue food colouring Jay!” Lloyd passed them both what they needed and got to work mixing his own bowl.

Group two was also going great. Pixal and Zane were professionals, baking the cake to perfection, working together to make two almost flawless layers and working to mix a lavender shade of frosting. Cole was enjoying himself, cleaning up the scraps that were produced and “taste testing” the frosting. 

“It’s looking incredible guys! You two are naturals!” He exclaimed happily while munching on scraps of cake.

“Thank you Cole.” Pixal smiled at him.

“Would you like to help us?” Zane asked him.

“I’m just happy to be here. Looks like you guys have everything under control, but if you need help, let me know!”

“Fair enough.” 

Cole was right though. Pixal and Zane were complete professionals, and everything was coming along beautifully.

Meanwhile, table three was having some… issues.

“Kai you idiot, you can’t put that many cakes in the oven at once.” Cryptor said as he tried to pull the pans apart. “It’s one big layer of cake. They got stuck together.”

“Hey, we can work with this. Look we can just break them apart!” The fire ninja responded.

“It’s perfect.” Kozu beamed, looking at the mismatched and deformed sections of cake.

“You STUPID BITCH, KAI!!” Cryptor gasped suddenly.

“What did I do!?”

“You have to grease the pan before you put batter in it! Now it’s sticking to the pan!!” The nindroid was attempting to separate a layer of cake from the pan. 

“You didn’t TELL ME THAT, YOU ASSHOLE!!” Kai screeched back.

“Well, great. Nineteen layers.” Kozu sighed, holding up a mangled layer. 

“Great job Kai, you idiot.”

“At least we still have nineteen!”

“Eighteen.” Kozu pushed aside another pan.

“Just stop touching shit!” Cryptor scolded them. “I’m gonna try and salvage the rest of these layers. At least Kozu buttered his pans. Like a normal person would think to do.”

Kai growled and crossed his arms in response.

“Be useful!” Cryptor growled. 

“HOW?”

“Oh my fucking god… take the knife and work it along the edges of the pan. Like this.” Cryptor showed him how to cut the edges and separate the two.

“This one came out without having to cut it.”

“Yeah, nice Kozu. Here, do these ones.” Cryptor slid him a couple of pans.”

“But why did it do that?” 

“Because it was done right.”

Soon enough, they were down to fourteen useable layers. All of them were a little bit sliced up and battered, but they would still work.

“So what now?” Kozu asked.

“Now we need to make frosting.” Cryptor said.

“Bright red.” Kai and Kozu smiled at each other.

“Right.” Cryptor sighed. “Red. We’re gonna need a lot of frosting for this bad boy though…”

“Leave that one to me.” Kai grabbed a huge bowl and a bunch of frosting containers. 

“Um right. Kozu, mind helping him…”

Kozu was already on it. The frosting duo had all the jars open in no time. With the help of Cryptor, they soon had filled the bowl with the sugary substance.

“Can’t tell if there’s more frosting on you two, or in the bowl.” Cryptor frowned as Kai licked some off his fingers.

About an hour later, and everyone was ready. It was decided that everyone should present their cakes one at a time, and do a little friendly competition to decide who had the best cake. Judged by Cole of course, who would be taste testing all the cakes.

Group one presented their cake first. It was a pretty decent looking one too. The three had really done a good job with the color scheming and had even added a pretty white trim. “Can I try a piece now?” Cole asked excitedly.

“Sure!” Lloyd cut him a piece.

Everyone watched as Cole cut into the cake and popped a piece in his mouth.

“Mmm! Nice job guys, it’s good!” He gave a thumbs up as he took another bite.

“We can score them all at the end and see what everyone thinks.” Nya said.

Group two, no surprise, did an absolutely incredible job. The light purple base, the white designs, it really did look professional. “You guys MADE that?” Jay asked in disbelief.

“Yes we did!” Cole said. “You wouldn’t believe these two. Complete naturals I tell you! They whipped this up like it was nothing!”

Cake three was up next.

Everyone went quiet when the cake was reviled 

“Is that… the cake?” Nya asked in utter disbelief.

“That’s what these two claim it to be.” Cryptor replied.

Was it even a cake at all? It looked like the kind of thing a two year old would make out of play dough. Bright red, a shapeless mass of frosting, the a piece of cake showing through in random places. It looked like it had been run over by a car. 

“Can I eat it now?” Cole was the only one who wasn’t fazed by the horrible appearance of it.

“Knock yourself out.” Kai muttered. “Might be a spoon somewhere in there.”

Which made everyone else’s looks of disgust somehow intensify. Cole picked up the knife and broke off a piece of it. Everyone watched him as he ate it.

“Wow, this actually tastes so good! I think this one wins it for taste!” He waved his fork in the direction of the creators, who sat back in the far corner as if they were cowering away from it.

“Actually?” Jay sputtered.

“May I have a piece as well?” Zane asked. 

Cole cut him a piece and slid the plate across the table. Everyone watched in amazement as he ate.

“Mmm, he’s right! This is very good. Nice job.”

“Alright, now I’m curious.” Lloyd sat fowards and cut himself a peice. 

Everyone else followed his example, and the room was quiet for a few minutes as they dug in to the “cake.”

“That… was actually not bad.” Kai said in amazement.

“You say that as if you’re surprised.” Nya raised an eyebrow at him.

“What I believe he means is, the taste was much more appealing than the exterior.” Pixal nodded as she took another bite.

“Agree with you there.” Jay added. 

“So for taste, we all agree this one was the best?” Cole questioned. 

“Yeah, I’m in agreement there.” Lloyd grinned. “That was some good cake.”

“I liked group two’s cake. I thought it was pretty.” Kozu cut in.

“Then group two for looks.” Nya agreed. 

“And I think Lloyd, Nya, and Jay worked really well together on their cake, and were a good team.” Pixal pointed out.

“So for teamwork, group one.” Kai said.

“Can we get an award for biggest miracle?” Cryptor rolled his eyes. “Maybe most dysfunctional team?”

“What do you mean dude? We had it all under control.” Kai questioned.

“Under control? I carried us!” Cryptor growled back.

“Nah, we had a solid plan. We were totally good.”

“You… glued the layers together. The twenty layers that you wanted to stack up. The twenty fucking layers!”

“It would’ve been great!”

Cryptor slammed his hands down on the table as he stood. “Alright you know what? Next time you can do it by yourself, dipshit—“ 

“Hey, it came out great.” Lloyd chirped. “At least you guys can agree on that, right?”

“I had fun.” Kozu said, pushing his empty plate. 

“So did I!” Cole agreed as he licked his lips. “We should do team building activities more often!”

“Oh please no.” Nya said.

Season 2, Episode 13 - Rise of the Spinjitzu Master

Well! Last of the season.

[21:11] This place is still a mess from the invasion of the stone army back in The Day Ninjago Stood Still, huh?

[20:55] In comes the eeeevil.

[20:40] Guys, you sure your ninja would come in such a dark cloud?

[20:21] It’s furry Garmadon!

[19:57] I am… so sick and tired of Dareth.

[19:10] There’s nobody here! Everyone’s fled!

[19:05] Oh man. They’re flooding the streets.

[18:45] Back to the Dark Island. Lloyd’s leg is out of action, and the rest are watching the destruction of Ninjago from afar.

[17:59] Man, we’re a bit lost, aren’t we?

[17:46] We’re desperate now, aren’t we?

[17:25] Lloyd don’t step on the broken leg, please.

[16:55] !!! Hell yeah! Good speech, kid!

[16:42] Bird! Friend! Best! Friend! Best! Bird!

[15:36] Huh?

[15:31] Man, this show loves them mechs, huh?

[14:58] (Lloyd) “...Nothing.” OOp, no, there’s something!

[14:30] Dragon! Baby! It’s the dragon, baby!

[13:46] Ah man, the place is Evil Now.

[13:02] That’s EVIL.

[12:48] Another dragon, but Bad.

[11:33] HE JUST BROKE THROUGH THE WALL SJDJDJ

[11:25] It’s only a mech wound!

[11:18] Man, if Lloyd’s grandfather is seeing this he’s going to be so disappointed.

[10:45] !!!

[9:13] I am… going to commit murder now…

[9:10] fucking… why. stop giving this guy plot relevance.

[9:08] oh my god wHYYYYY. this guy’s only redeeming feature is the fact he affects the bg music. which… he does not deserve

[9:03] really. *really.*

[9:01] this is the direction we’re going in now! okay!

[8:54] goddammit. god. fucking. dammit. man, i really should cool it with the swearing. it really takes the bite away.

[8:52] Well! This is happening now! I don’t like it, but it’s happening! Have a link to sum up my thoughts.

[8:50] I mean if he’s being useful he’s being useful so I guess that’s an upside question mark question mark question mark

[8:48] uuuGGGGHHHHHH WHY

[8:36] Well, an advantage is an advantage. Let’s go.

[8:20] okkkaaaay we’re getting that guy involved. this is not what i want but it’s what i’m getting. my mistake for watching this show honestly

[8:13] welp! Here we go

[8:03] I mean! He’s turning the tide of battle! Good on him, I guess!

[7:56] You Tried

Well, Nya’s just blasting the Stone Army off the side of the tower. Okay.

[7:44] Crrrap the dragon’s been hit. Look, I know it won’t die (mainly because it dies in S8 if I recall from what I’ve heard) but still. Poor babby :(

[7:35] Speaking of poor babbys, Lloyd’s not doing too great with the broken leg and all. I mean, he’s functional but Jay and Cole are helping him up the tower since… HE HAD HIS LEG BROKEN QUITE VIOLENTLY! POOR KID

[7:33] Welp! Cole’s been hit by the Dark Evil Shit

[7:26] Aw :(

[7:23] GUYS GET OUT OF THERE DON’T YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO NYA???

[7:19] welp!

[7:12] Oh no. This is just going to keep going.

[7:09] Jay threw Lloyd out of the way and took the hit. Ouch.

[6:51] Welp! They’ve still got their swords despite the whole being turned evil thing. That can’t be good.

[6:49] Zane’s staying back to hold the two turned ninjas back, so I think we know who’s being turned himself next.

[6:45] Oh! This isn’t a fun sibling reunion.

[6:41] ~mama mia, here we go again,~ and I guess Lloyd’s… SOMEHOW… going to get to the top. hopefully.

[6:30] JAY BROKE EVIL!NYA’S THING! HELL YEAH

[6:22] Well, say hello to your dad, Lloyd! Except he’s a dragon and not the good kind and also possessed because he sure hasn’t had enough of being forced to do evil shit against his will in his life yet!

[6:05] God, how is this going to pan out? Considering that Lloyd’s leg is broken.

[5:54] fuCKING POWER BLAST THE EVIL OFF HIM! LET’S DO THIS

[5:42] I’m sorry but the Overlord’s inhale sounded fucking hilarous. But ouch! that’s a lotta Fire

[5:31] LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT MY BOY GO!

[5:16] Oi! Who dunked him in gold paint? BUT ALSO AAAAAA MY BOY!!! IT’S MY BOY AND HE’S FUCKING POWERFUL!!!

[4:48] FUCKING DRAGON V DRAGON LET’S! GO!

[4:33] FUCKIGN1!!! GO!!! LET’S GO!!!!

[4:20] W-WAIT A MINUTE WAS ZANE TURNED TOO? I mean I guess Kai’s okay but OUCH

[4:19] LET’S DO THIS, LLOYD!

[3:53] THE SOUNDTRACK FUCKING SLAPS OH MY GOD. I CANNOT APPRECIATE THEM ENOUGH.

[3:45] oh! nightmare fuel!

[3:36] LLOYD??? HE GOT FUCKING EATEN

[3:34] OH HELL YEAH BABY!!!!

[3:15] FUCKING HELL YEAH!!!! NICE JOB LLOYD. I’M GOING TO BECOME YOUR MUM NOW

[3:07] Zoom in to Kai’s face. He’s the first to wake up. God, that fall must’ve hurt.

[3:03] Oh! Jay’s next to him.

[3:00] Nya!!!

[2:54] awwww :’’’’)

[2:50] awww!!! Man I love them Everyone Gets A Hug ending

[2:34] Well, that should answer your question on Lloyd’s whereabouts.

[2:10] Man. I love this show so much. Because I’ve already been heavily invested in other Lego media (coughs in the general direction of the Lego Movies, which are both super good and have provided me with many an existential crisis) before, I’ve gotten used to the concept of Lego main characters. Ninjago doesn’t dwell on the nature of their Legoness at all, though, but they do provide a large amount of genuinely funny, awesome, heartwarming and heart-wrenching moments. Whoever passes over the show due to the Lego nature of the characters is really missing out. Obviously, it’ll have its downfalls - but what show doesn’t? It’s a fun show with enjoyable characters, and if you don’t want to watch it because it’s *Lego*, I'll let you in on a secret.

You’re a fucking coward.

[2:07] And Lloyd seems a bit upset. Probably over the fact he feels he’s killed his dad.

[2:02] Except… he hasn’t.

[1:45] awww :’))

[1:21] (Jay) “You think we should dogpile him?” dhddjd

[1:09] (Cole) “I liked being a ninja! It’s not like we have any other skills.”  God, what a mood

So! We’re done with season 2! Ain’t that a ride? Hopefully, Season 3 is even better! 

Although Zane does die in that season.

I mean, that’s more of an emotional investment thing and not a generally quality related thing, so…

Hopefully it is! I really hope it is!
