[ninjago headcanons] how they handle valentine's day with you

𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚕𝚞𝚍𝚎𝚜: 𝚔𝚊𝚒, 𝚓𝚊𝚢, 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚎, 𝚣𝚊𝚗𝚎, 𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚍, 𝚗𝚢𝚊, 𝚐𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚘𝚗, & 𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚘

𝚔𝚊𝚒

of course, he’s very smooth about it

will come up to you wearing that dumb smirk of his holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates, flowers, and a card

asks you in one go. doesn’t stutter or trip over his words

even so, he’s still a little bit nervous deep down - he’s just good at hiding it

will take you out for a fancy dinner and a motorcycle ride; at the end of the night, the two of you go somewhere secluded to watch the sunset together

𝚓𝚊𝚢

he’s not as confident

stutters, blushes, has to practice a few times before he can work up the nerve to ask you

once he does, though, he’s super relieved and gets excited!!

he takes you out to lunch, and then the two of you spend the day at an arcade museum :)

at first, he’s a little bit tense and afraid he’s going to embarrass himself, but he eventually lightens up

the two of you have a blast!

the date ends with cups of ice cream and a walk around a park at sunset

𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚎

asks through a romantic, heartfelt letter that he delivers to your doorstep before you emerge for the day

the letter is sealed in a pretty, light pink envelope and stamped with a flower. accompanying it is a bouquet of your favorite flower along with a box of chocolates

your name is written on the front of the envelope in a unique, calligraphy-esque font that appears messy but also…strangely composed and beautiful, in a way

the letter asks you to meet the secret someone out on the deck of the bounty after breakfast

sure enough, cole is there, fidgeting as he waits for you

once you approach him, he asks to be your valentine!

you answer him with a hug and a “yes!”

the date takes place in a forest initially - he had set up a special spot beforehand. it’s a picnic!

of course, he had to get a little bit of help from zane for the cooking portion :)

afterwards, the two of you take a short hike through the woods until you reach the theater where the ninja performed

it’s empty, but cole knows a certain spot inside

it turns out to be a mirrored studio room, where he teaches you how to dance :)

(or just dances with you, if you already know how!)

𝚣𝚊𝚗𝚎

does it simply and elegantly; after listening to the advice of his teammates, he decides to just ask you while you’re alone on the deck

he averts his gaze when he asks, unsure if he had done it correctly or if he misunderstood the tradition somehow

but when you grin and accept, his nerves ease

the two of you have a quiet, peaceful walk throughout the birchwood forest

(zane makes sure that you’re dressed warm enough beforehand)

eventually, the two of you come across a frozen pond

after determining that the ice is thick enough, zane pulls you onto the ice, the two of you slipping and sliding around

he’s far more graceful, and he doesn’t let you fall

takes the two of you back via a dragon ride, letting you cling to him while you enjoy the sunset

𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚍

asks you by dropping off a cheesy starfarer-themed valentine’s day card at your door

takes you to a family entertainment venue (think like chuck e cheese, with added games for adults)

he admits that he came here quite a bit whenever it was jay or kai’s turn to watch him when a kid, and he knows all of the tricks to get a lot of tickets

(at one point, he tells you a story about how he would steal tickets from machines and other patrons in order to get better prizes)

the two of you play for hours, saving up as many tickets as you can before heading to the counter to pick out your prizes!

you end up getting two of the same dragon stuffed animals, but in different colors

once that’s done, the two of you enjoy some of the venue's snacks before calling it a day

𝚗𝚢𝚊

she, like her brother, will simply come up and ask you

the only difference is that she lacks his cockiness and is more nervous about it

she keeps it simple - the day starts with a coffee shop date and ends with the two of you wandering the city together

there’s not much of a plan - the two of you just go with the flow

by the time the day is done, you have shopped at a farmer’s market, listened to a talented street performer, tried a bunch of pastries from a local baker, and more!

𝚐𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚘𝚗 - 𝚌𝚛𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚣𝚎𝚍 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗

initially goes to vinny for date ideas and how he should go about asking

when the time does roll around, you notice that he’s stiff and clearly uncomfortable, but also determined

he’s blunt and to the point about it

you can tell he’s doing his best to sound gentle

“i would…very much like it if you were to be my valentine.”

ends up taking you out for a few drinks at laughy’s (either alcoholic or not, whatever you prefer)

either way, he eventually accompanies you on a night walk on the perimater of the city, away from the crowd so that no one can ruin your night together

𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚘

doesn’t even bother asking. it would embarrass him too much.

very coarse about the ordeal, but even so, it’s really sweet in his own way

probably won’t make a whole lot of eye contact with you. if you squint, you might catch him blushing at some points.

drags you to a nice picnic that he set up (all by himself!) in the ruins of the monastery

it’s a quiet night, but the two of you still enjoy yourselves despite not speaking much

the wind is gentle and content, as is morro

once the two of you are done eating, you’ll shimmy over to him and curl up beside him

he’ll accept your embrace, holding you as you watch the skies together <3

[mouschiwrites]

hi i was the one who asked ab the character match up thing but i also have a request!

could you write headcanons of being best friends with lloyd garmadon (and a slight unaddressed undertone of them having crushes on each other maybe)

like they’re really dumb and make fun of each other all the time but would die for each other easily and they have starfarrer marathons and play video games together and all that junk

totally fine if not though!! ⭐️🌟

Absolutely!!

Ninjago - Being Lloyd’s Best Friend (?) ;)

You guys met when he was on a mission

The ninjas were on the hunt for an ancient magical artifact, which you just happened to remember finding as a child

You guided them through the wilderness, secretly doubting your own navigational skills

That and the fact that you weren’t sure it was even there anymore made you obviously anxious

Lloyd, who was following the closest behind you, noticed the way you chewed your cheek and wiggled your fingers

You locked eyes once, and the look he gave you was the gentlest, most trusting yet understanding look you’d ever seen

Your anxiety melted away as you gazed into his deep green eyes

Then, realizing you were staring, you giggled awkwardly and apologized

That was how your very first conversation began

Lloyd was just trying to keep you calm so you could focus, but he completely forgot his goal when you mentioned Starfarer

“You like Starfarer?”

“Yeah, haha. I know it’s a little childish—”

“I love Starfarer!”

“No kidding?!”

Honestly, you had no idea where you were at that point

You were just taking random turns while you gushed about the series

(Much to the annoyance of the others following close behind)

By some miracle, you eventually found the artifact

On the way back, Lloyd explained what it was and what he needed it for

You thought he was so cool

You demanded to have him update you when the mission was completed

You exchanged numbers before finally departing

Less than five minutes after he left, you guys were already texting up a storm

You found out you actually had much more in common than being Starfarer fans; for one, you both loved video games

You compared which games you’d played and which you hadn’t, making vague promises to get together and play the ones you hadn’t

Needless to say, you guys text a lot

Lloyd is frequently gone on missions, but he always keeps his phone nearby

Calling you is his favorite way to pass the time when traveling

You keep him updated on more worldly matters, like when a new Starfarer comic is going to be released

He tells you about his fantastic adventures in return

Secretly, you both think to yourselves as the other speaks: Man, they’re the coolest person in the whole world…

Lloyd tries to visit whenever he can

Playing video games and goofing off with you always makes his day

He’ll lie awake at night recollecting your jokes and bursting into laughter all over again

You lie awake at night envisioning him on his missions, your heart racing as you picture him escaping peril time and time again

So, when one of you texts the other late at night, you’re both awake anyway

Your late night texts are different from daytime texts

You talk about deeper things: life, death, your pasts, anything and everything

You don’t really do this when you meet up; no, that time is reserved for teasing and goofing off ONLY

But you both sort of wish you did talk like that in real life, though neither of you bring it up

You just push down that stirring in your chests when you sit just a bit too close, or when you stare for half a second too long at your friend’s face

A rather pleasing face…

anYWAY you guys also share a huge sweet tooth

Snacks are a must whenever you hang out

And if you bake… oh man

You will immediately become Lloyd’s favorite cook

Even if you’re nowhere near Cole’s or Zane’s level, Lloyd will stand by his opinion that your goodies are better than theirs

You guys would ABSOLUTELY go to fan conventions together

Matching cosplays!!

If you cosplay a ship, you’ll awkwardly agree to do cute poses together when people want a picture

Again, just push down that stirring in your chest when you hold each other…

The other ninjas don’t tease Lloyd about you being his s/o

Mostly because they aren’t sure if you guys are actually dating or what

Lloyd doesn’t notice their skepticism though, he’s too focused on being silly with you :)

Thanks for reading! And thank you anon for the request :) take care guys <33

A Giggly Awakening

A/N: yes I am a Wu stan stfu- so uhh OVER 1800 WORDS THATS A RECORD RIGHT THERE once again I am not at all experienced in the fanfic writing house so sorry if it’s shitty, hope you enjoy :]

It was a cool morning in Ninjago. The sun peaked over the mountains, the birds singing their morning songs, meanwhile Wu was meditating outside, waiting to hear the ninjas loud and dramatic voices.. nothing.

He sighed, standing up and walking inside. He looked in the kitchen to see if they were still finishing up breakfast, he didn’t see them, he didn’t even see any plates in the sink. He walked into the living room where they would play their games to help wake themselves up, the controllers were on the console untouched, and the room was completely empty.

He came to the conclusion that they were still asleep, he always thought he got them out of the ‘sleeping in’ phase, but he also seemed to forget that he was in a monastery full of teenagers. He stroked his long white beard, thinking of how to handle this. Then, it struck him. How had he not thought of it before? All he knew was the ninja were getting up either way, and hopefully not in a grumpy mood.

He decided to get Kai up first, he was usually the grouchiest one out of the 6, so he’d figure he would get him out of the way first. He slowly walked to his room, his feet light on the wooden floorboards while he turned the knob, slightly cringing at the creaking of the door. He walked over to the bed where the master of fire was knocked out. He gently placed a hand on his shoulder, attempting to shake him awake. “Kai.. Kai are you awake?” He mumbled softly. He saw as Kai’s face scrunched up in annoyance, putting his pillow over his head. “Mmm… five more minutes..” He hummed, a smirk appearing on Wu’s face. “We don’t have time like that Kai, don’t make me have to take extreme measures.” He gently poked Kai’s side, a hard flinch coming from him. He seemed to realize what was going on faster than Jay’s lightning as he immediately sat up. “I’m up! I’m up!” He shouted, already smiling nervously. “Too late, I made up my mind.” Master Wu quickly skittered his fingers on Kai’s sides, causing a squawk to come from the red ninja as he immediately curled in on himself, snorting and laughing. “MAHAHAHASTEHEHER!!! NAHAHAHA!!-“ He squealed, cackling madly when Wu started prodding at his ribs. Wu smiled and rolled his eyes, finally showing mercy to the hothead as he stopped his tickling while he helped rub the ghost tickles away. “Now go out in the courtyard before I have to do any more.” Wu said with a chuckle as Kai sped out of his room.

Next on his list was Jay. He opened the door to his room which was covered with starfarer and video game posters. He immediately noticed Jay hidden under his covers, trying to hide his giggles. Wu couldn’t help but smile, it reminded him of when the ninja were younger. “Hmm.. I could have sworn I had seen Jay in here somewhere..” He said, only causing more giggles to come from the blue ninja as he walked around, observing the room until he finally got to his bed. “Hmm… I feel that he may be right.. Here!” He pulled the covers off of Jay’s head.. only to find it wasn’t Jay, just a fake him that he had made. Just then, Wu had realized that Jay was in the closet as he smiled. “Alright, that’s it for me.” He opened the closet doors, grabbing Jay as a loud yelp came from the ninja. He immediately began squeezing the ninja’s sides, causing a near shriek to come from him as he squirmed around relentlessly. Wu was impressed he hadn’t gone deaf from Jay’s shrill laughter yet. He gave him one last quick squeeze on his hips before letting him go, giving him time to recover. “Now, how about you head into the courtyard with Kai before I have to teach you another lesson.” Wu said with a playful glint in his eyes. It didn’t take Jay long to get up and sprint out of the room, even crashing into a wall on the way as Wu laughed, the ninja were certainly special.

Now there was Cole. He was an easy one to catch off guard considering he slept like a rock.. huh, never thought he’d make such a corny pun like that. Wu opened the door to his room, walking over next to Cole who was fast asleep, laying on his stomach. Wu didn’t want to give him a heart attack, so he just gently traced a few fingers on his back, causing soft giggles to come from him and a few jerks when he reached those specific areas. “Cole, it is the crack of dawn and you are still asleep.” Wu said, gently tickling the back of his neck, causing Cole to scrunch up his shoulders and giggle. “You’re not good at pretending, y’know? Maybe I should give you all a lesson on that..” He quickly moved his fingers over Cole��s ribs, a squeak coming from the black ninja followed by loud giggles while he struggled to get away from Wu’s quick fingers. “Lehehehet mehehe sleehehehep!!” He yelled, turning over on his back. “And let you get away with missing out on training? Now you’re just trying to insult me.” He shoved his fingers into Cole’s underarms, a loud yelp coming from the master of earth as he cackled loudly, squirming and pressing his elbows into his sides. “NAHAHAHA!! GEHEHET OHOHOHOUT!!” He squealed, snorting and squirming. “Well, you have my fingers trapped, you know that, right Cole? So I have no other choice but to continue until you let me go..” He held back a smile while Cole’s face flushed in embarrassment while he shakily raised his arms, in which Wu slipped his hands out. “I believe you need to go into the courtyard with the others now. Wouldn’t wanna miss out on training, would you?” Wu said with a smile. Cole chuckled, rubbing away ghost tickles as he got up, leaving his room.

Next up on the list was Zane, he was gonna be a tricky one.. Although, he felt a presence behind him as he smirked, closing his eyes. “3…2…1…” He counted down quietly before quickly darting out of the way when Zane lunged at him from behind in which Wu took the opportunity to pin him on the ground. “Very sloppy. I could practically feel the cold air from you.” He tutted playfully, he decided this one time to use his powers in a rather… irresponsible way as people may put it. He placed his hands on Zane’s ribs, his creation energy zapping all throughout Zane’s body as he nearly shrieked. He broke down into loud robotic laughter, kicking and slamming his fists on the ground while Wu tickled him with his powers. “MAHAHAHASTEHEHEHER!! I-IHIHIHIT TIHIHIHIHICKLEHEHEHES!!!” He yelled, squeaking when the sensation made its way to his back. “Well, atleast your observation is on point..” He held back a smirk, moving one hand to the back of Zane’s neck, causing a series of snorts and squeals to come from the titanium ninja. Master Wu didn’t want to have to leave Pixal to fix up his gears from laughing too much, so he got off of him, helping him up. “Your little stunt was brave, but foolish.” He chuckled. “I probably should have taken more time to calculate it.. I’ll just go start making breakfast.” He mumbled. If he had real human flesh, his face would’ve been burning up.

Now, there was Nya. He was wrong when he said Kai was the grouchiest, she definitely takes the cake for it. Although, just as he was planning his attack, he found that someone else was doing it for him. “KAHAHAI!! IHIHIM GOHOHOHONAHAHAHA KIHIHIL YOHOHOHOU!! GAHAHAHA!!!” Nya cackled out while Kai scribbled his fingers under her arms. “Hey, Master Wu said it’s time to get up! I’m just doing his job for him!” He teased, moving up to her neck, earning some soft giggles from her. “Doing my work, are you?” Wu finally said as Kai and Nya whipped their heads around to him. “Yup! Wanna help?” Kai offered, pinning Nya to the bed to prevent her from getting away. “Hmm.. I believe you have this situation under control. Besides, I have one more person I need to visit.” He smirked, walking away as Kai turned to Nya. “Wahahait! Kahahai ihihm uhuhup!-“ She protested, but Kai was already squeezing her hips while squeals and cackles filled the room.

Lloyd heard it all. The laughing, the shrieking, the snorting. He couldn’t help but feel scared and excited at the same time when he heard footsteps approaching his room. He hid underneath his covers, although adjusted the blanket a bit to where his side was visible as he heard the door open.

Wu walked into Lloyd’s room, scanning around for a quick second before spotting something under the covers. He was a little skeptical about it after Jay had tricked him, although Lloyd didn’t seem like the type of person to pull something like that. He walked around the room, pretending to look for him like he did with Jay. “Hmm.. perhaps Lloyd isnt here?” He muttered, hearing the childish giggles coming from Lloyd warmed his heart. He made his way to the bed and spotted the sliver of Lloyd’s shirt showing. He already knew he did that on purpose, and being the good teacher he was would help him. He slowly lowered his fingers onto Lloyd’s side before suddenly latching onto it. A loud squeal came from Lloyd as he thrashed around under the covers while Wu scribbled and squeezed his side. Soon enough, Wu ripped the covers off of Lloyd, vibrating a claw into his belly while Lloyd giggled hysterically. “MAHAHASTER WUHUHUHU WAHAHAHAIT!!-“ Lloyd cried, his voice cracking while he grabbed Wu’s wrist, not pulling it away, just kind of holding it. “Why aren’t you pushing away? Do you enjoy this, Lloyd?” Wu teased, poking and squeezing at his ribs while Lloyd squirmed and snorted. After a little longer, Wu let Lloyd go as he picked him up, giving him a quick playful spin while Lloyd laughed childishly, a warm smile on Wu’s face as he put him down. “You should join the others, I believe Jay told me he was going to.. ‘beat your record’, in ‘prime empire’.” He said in the most old man way as Lloyd laughed, shaking his head and speeding out the door. “OH YOURE GONNA GET IT ZAP TRAP!!” He yelled as Wu laughed. He really did love his ninja, they were more than he could ever ask for. They’ve had their dark moments, but they’re childish spirits are still running strong.

Spy's OCs: Zak Kaiyo

art by my good friend, the wonderful @wildegeist!

Realm: Arcverse Species: Tokaya Homeworld: Terotewaukia (Teroteaumia system) Age: 26 annua (29 Earth years) Gender (human analogue): cismasculine (he/him, xe/xen*) Height: 1.8 m Weight: 72.5 kg Occupation: Captain and pilot of the starship Free Spirit; freelance cargo-hauler; occasional mercenary; jack-of-all-trades [Suggested Listening: Burn Out Brighter by Anberlin]

Zakane "Zak" Kaiyo is the co-owner, captain, and pilot of the heavily-modified light hauler Aum Hara (otherwise known as the "Free Spirit") and the leader of a small band of freelance spacers that make their home aboard the ship. He's just one more spark in the great spiral; one more restless soul trying to make a living doing what he can in a galaxy that's always moving and yet always standing still. From the Tyrian Shallows to the Drift and everywhere in between, Zak and his small but loyal crew of misfits can be found anywhere something interesting is happening.

Zak's talented -albeit reckless- piloting skills earned himself and his copilot Arkto a spot in the Galactic Spacecraft Pilots Association Hall of Fame, having broken the record for the smallest crewed ship by mass to exceed 10 million times the speed of light with a hyperdrive. His performative stuntwork is also renowned, and he frequently attends the annual Galactic Pilot Convention.

Most of the "swashbuckling freelance ace pilot" tropes apply to this space hobo, whose personal creed is "do good recklessly." His confidence, determination, and cheerful sarcasm make for an extremely charismatic, if reckless, leader. He's very mischievous and likes to get into trouble, but can be relied on to get out of it as quickly as he gets into it… most of the time. Zak acts fearless but, go figure, this man has Attachment Issues. He hates the idea of getting tied down to one place or thing, yet at the same time he is fiercely protective of his crew. (Shhh. Nobody tell him.)

Zak's homeworld is a backwater: connected to the galaxy and participant in its affairs, but hardly anyone there actually got out beyond the system. He was constantly told that he ought to be happy on Terotewaukia, fixing up interplanetary haulers and maybe going to the outer moons of the system once in a while. He and his two best friends always wanted more. The three of them had plans to quietly fix up one of the written-off hauler derelicts on company time and get the hell out, making their way around the wild starry yonder to see what could be seen.

And then one of them decided they wanted to stay and settle down.

That was the last straw for Zak. As soon as the opportunity arose, he and Arkto (his other bff) took off in their souped-up light hauler and never looked back. But once they were out there... Zak came to realize that the galaxy isn't a really adventurous place.

See, Arcverse is a universe that everyone thinks has been more or less figured out. Galactic civilization has been around for something like a million years or so, and the Arcadian Order have been sort of running the Galactic Assembly for about that long (mostly because they got off their planet first and they do a pretty decent job of wrangling the rowdier civilizations with diplomacy). The entire galaxy is, broadly speaking, at peace. The clash of titans already happened; the fate-of-the-galaxy-level stakes were sorted out thousands of generations ago. All the major starfaring powers, while independent in principle, are constrained by the bureaucracy of the Galactic Assembly. There's mild internal turmoil —and there's always an underbelly— but it's still quite tame. There's a whole galaxy out there with lots to see but nothing to really strive for in it.

Zak Kaiyo is someone who desperately, fundamentally, needs to strive. He wants to live fast and die young in a galaxy where everyone lives at a reasonable pace and dies basically never. He exists to challenge the stagnancy of a world that's as close to utopia as it can reasonably be. Zak wants so badly to save the galaxy, but he lives in a galaxy that doesn't need saving. And that's tearing him to pieces.

[verydistractedveryconfused]

A few days ago I finished watching the skybound season, and the thought of the ninja using social media is so funny to me because they're just so chaotic that the thought of then browsing or posting things males me laugh

So I made a list of what each character likes and posts about on social media, and which one they use

- Kai

- he uses Twitter the most (total addict)

- mostly posts about his day or "cool" quotes

- posting something about 15 times a day

- real popular, any time he posts the likes go through the roof

- Zane

- Facebook

- You cannot tell me that he doesn't post his friends greatest achievements on Facebook so everybody can see how proud he is

- long posts

- is in multiple book and knitting groups

- he once received one of those "send these message to 10 people you follow or something bad will happen to you " and he believed it (took a while to calm him down)

- Jay

- I like to think he has a Tumblr account

- His posts consist mainly of Starfarer quotes, memes, and his very own headcanons

- he's a very dedicated fan

(he could also very possible have an AO3 account where he posts fanfiction, no one knows about either of them)

- Nya

- not much of a social media person

- but she does have Snapchat

- getting a message from her usually involves a funny picture (close up of her face, weird face expresiones, a rude hand gesture 😂, etc.)

- Cole

- Instagram

- likes to post pictures of sunsets and food

- likes post about food, desserts, music, dancing, some memes

- follows some recipes and posts his own results of said recipe

- Lloyd

- he is absolutely and 100% a Tik Tok person

- he mostly just browses, rarely posts at all

- loves cat videos

- gets kinda sad when he sees other teenagers having the time of their lives and being normal

Child's Play Alt AU

Watched Child's Play, so heres my alternate AU because this episode hurts my feelings >:,(

Alright, so instead of pushing the whole "age up Lloyd because he's losing his childhood anyways" vibe, we're making it "Lloyd's still a kid, let him live his fucking life instead of having him train 24/fucking 7".

Here's my thought process on how Child's Play will go:

Ninja go smol

They find Lloyd

Instead of immediately finding out about the Grundal, they fuck around and be kids

Near dusk, they spot the Grundal

They go to Mother Doomsday, the whole competition and Grundal fight happens

Right before Nya and Wu show up, the Ninja draw the Grundal away from Lloyd

They fucking apologise for forcing Lloyd to act older than his actual age as they think the Grundal's about to eat them

Wu and Nya show up, chuck Tomorrow's Tea at the Ninja, and everything's back to normal

They go back to the Bounty and hang out with Lloyd as he reads the latest issue of the Starfarer comic series

Now for how this will affect the rest of the show:

For the rest of Season 2, we'll see Lloyd relaxing a bit more, and the Ninja spending more quality time with him. Because I am a firm believer that Misako should've apologized along with explaining herself, she apologizes to Lloyd, who is more skeptical than in canon, although he accepts. Other than Lloyd being less comfortable with Misako's physical affection and not calling her mom, the season progresses the same.

In Season 3, Lloyd won't be paraded around like a celebrity, but instead he'll be at Sensei Garmadon's monastery, helping out with training and demonstrations. Wu's academy will not happen, instead the Ninja will be paraded around like celebrities, although bugged a lot about when the Gold Ninja will show up for an interview. The season progresses the same, but the love triangle will not happen, but instead I'll create a different conflict.

In Season 4, we have a few year time skip, accentuated by Lloyd looking older (how he looks S2 - S7), and the Ninja looking a little different. Cole gets longer hair, Kai gets longer hair, Jay stops straightening his hair (shown by a straightener being in his bathroom) and later on stops using makeup to cover his freckles (short clip of him using a makeup wipe to remove the concealer), Nya gets longer hair (but no ponytail. I'm anti-Nya's ponytail. It's more like a half-up half-down), and they all get their new outfits. Everything else in the season is generally the same.

In Season 5, it generally progresses the same way. We see some of the possession from Lloyd's point of view. We get a lot more verbal conflict. Misako and Wu get confrontations with possessed!Lloyd. More of Kai and Lloyd's relationship is shown. More of the parallels between Kai, Lloyd, and Morro are utilized. Kai also gets his eyebrow scar from Morro. Morro manages to escape the Preeminent, freeing Lloyd and Garmadon from the realm he was trapped in before leaving the Realm Crystal with them and flying off.

In Season 6... * clicking noises, hmms, and strutinizing faces ensue * yeah, scratch that. Instead of Season 6, we're actually just gonna have a "special" of sorts, where it's all actually from Nya's perspective as she slowly builds up rage from the bullshit that is sexist media, until she explodes and unloads all of it onto the Ninja, where they decide "yeah, this has been getting too much" (Lloyd's being constantly overwhelmed by interviewers and paparazzi, Jay and Cole are still being bugged about the love triangle even though they've said many times that it was resolved, Zane has had too many creepy encounters with obsessed fans, and Kai... actually, Kai's been loving it and the Ninja are 0.002 seconds away from banning his Chirp account). So, they rebuild the monastery instead of doing it in Season 10.

Day of the Departed progresses the same, but instead Morro shows up with the help of Nelson (‼️ my boy) to sorta save Cole, but ends up getting revived as well. He fucks off again. Cole is rightfully confused. It will feel somewhat ooc for Morro, and that is the point. I might explain this in a spin-off fic.

In Season 7, Krux and Acronix get sorta "controlled" by their power, a reference to Wu's line in Season 2 to Lloyd where he's all "Learn to control your powers before they control you". They want complete control over time and to basically merge with time itself (foreshadowing to Season 14, perhaps?). Also, the title of Sensei is not forced onto Lloyd, but instead Cole starts stepping up more as leader and sort of teacher. Other than that, the Season progresses the same.

In Season 8, we get to see what Garmadon's been up to, which is just training kids ike he was in Season 3. Lloyd is visiting. They end up talking about how Wu might actually be gone, and what the Ninja would do after that. The Ninja also meet up, and there is a brief mention of Nya and Kai spending time with their parents. The season progresses the same storyline of Harumi's manipulation, but Lloyd's actually a bit suspicious of her. He doesn't remove the mask from its pedestal, and the fight ends with Harumi knocking Lloyd into the pedestal which knocks the mask off, then she grabs it and scampers off like the morally grey little shit girlboss she is. She doesn't kidnap Misako, but rather imprisons her after she tries to get Garmadon back, who Harumi actually kidnapped. Instead of resurrecting Garmadon, she brings out his Oni side using the masks, making him lose control.

He can't feel any positive feelings, and only has the urge to destroy. Lloyd confuses Garmadon, because he feels nothing towards his son, so he just wants to destroy him. Harumi and feral Garmadon (that's what I'm calling him) take over Ninjago City, Lloyd loses his powers, and the Ninja are sent to the First Realm. Yay! Also, feral Garmadon is essentially Emperor Garmadon, but more animalistic and doesn't disown his son. He can talk though.

In Season 9, it's basically the same thing, but it's more focused on Lloyd learning to trust himself, his judgement, and his leadership. Morro is there and... kinda helps?? Idk, he kinda redeems himself. Also, Maya and Ray are there because they were coming to surprise visit. Yes, this means Ray-Maya-Morro dynamics, and Ray and Maya interact with their daughter. In the end, Mystake fucking drags Garmadon instead of dying, and they lock Garmadon up until they can find a way to revert him back. Garmadon does not give a cryptic warning.

Season 10 does not happen. Idk what you expected.

Season 11 happens, but without the "Ninja slacking off for months" schtick, because it felt like a copy-paste of Season 1. Instead, they're searching for ways to turn Garmadon back, and hear about this super powerful sorceress from ancient Ninjago times, aka Aspheera. Also, Aspheera never tries to overthrow the throne, Wu simply teaches her Spinjitzu, but FSM finds out and just fucking buries and seals her. That's why he's the Deceiver. Other than that, the season progresses the same.

Season 12 is all the same, but Lloyd has better design choices. Also, Morro's there in the background bc I said so.

Season 13 is all the same. I love this DnD campaign season.

I might slap a oneshot series here (chronologically, will not be a part of the actual fic itself) about the journeys the Ninja go (haha, Ninjago) on between S13 and S14.

Season 14 is the same, but Maya brings Morro along to the monastery as well. Sorry Nya, you're merging with the ocean.

Season 15 is probably going to be rewritten. I'll publish another post and link it here once I watch S15 and write it in this AU.

Btw, I'm calling this my Never Grow Old AU

If Lloyd had a social media account he’d have it on private and have his username as his favorite Starfarer character with random numbers on the side of it, and he doesn’t follow anyone else aside from the Starfarer author, artist, and mostly all of the Ninja, but he has Jay blocked because Jay kept sending him those insane internet shitposts or booktok videos that are so unserious and niche but it’s unironic, and he is SICK and TIRED of it invading his notifications that it permanently altered his algorithm because he kept viewing them

Lloyd’s also not chronically online (thankfully) like Kai is (who has his account on public and is the most followed out of the other Ninja), because he does not want to spend too long online to find out what fans of the internet have done to him and his family. Like, there’s canonically bound to be a fandom for the Ninja. Like, there’s definitely family bonding time where Jay opts to make a challenge where they have to go through reading “MAFIA NINJA X READER” fanfiction he found in like, whatever is the wattpad equivalent in their world is, and Lloyd couldn’t even comprehend anything past the Y/N dictionary

Honestly I think if Lloyd were to ever come across in-world Ninjago Fandom, he’d spent most of his time squinting at the screen like, “I did not do that… They would never do that…”

Ok but either way, he’d bond with Kai and Jay over leaked Starfarer content because they’re all nerds at heart. “DID YOU SEE THE COMIC PANEL??” “Dude don’t spoiler me oh my God, I don’t want to see it…” “YOU HAVE TO”

lies of omission

So when they returned to the Monastery, and Lloyd retreated into the study to make a plan on how to obtain the dragon cores before Imperium could find out about them and the power they held, Sora couldn’t stop herself from grabbing Arin’s wrist and bringing him with her into her own plan.

Find out what else Lloyd was hiding.

This is for all 64 of you who voted on my poll, and the 25% of you who wanted the story about Arin and Sora finding out about Lloyd's heritage. I hope you all enjoy this one :)

“Um, how did you just never mention that you’re the grandson of the guy who created Ninjago?”

“Eh, it never came up.”

Sora didn’t want to be angry; between working with the others to locate the dragon cores, still trying to figure out the depths of his abilities as well as the fact that she knew that she would eventually have to go back to Imperium to stop Beatrix, the last thing she wanted was to be angry with Lloyd.

But, it still simmered inside her like a steady flame catching onto dry timber because he was keeping things from her and yeah, she wasn’t a ninja super fan like Arin, but he still could have told them before it ended up just coming out like that.

With how much had been kept from her all of her life, she wanted to believe that Lloyd would be different, that she could finally trust another adult again, but this just proved to her that she was sorely mistaken.

So when they returned to the Monastery, and Lloyd retreated into the study to make a plan on how to obtain the dragon cores before Imperium could find out about them and the power they held, Sora couldn’t stop herself from grabbing Arin’s wrist and bringing him with her into her own plan.

Find out what else Lloyd was hiding.

“I don’t know, Sora,” Arin admitted as she picked the lock on Lloyd’s bedroom door, twisting the small piece of metal she carried with her for this exact reason carefully, “if he’s locking us out of his room, he probably doesn’t want us to go in there.”

“He’s hiding more than being the First Spinjitzu Master’s grandson, Arin,” Sora shook her head as she felt the lock click into being unlocked, “and I am sick of not being told the truth by others, especially when I’m supposed to trust them.”

“Was it really a lie though?” Arin asked as she twisted the knob, opening the dark room and allowing him to step in before shutting the door and pocketing the hand-crafted metal pick, “it’s not like we ever asked who his grandfather was.”

“It was a lie of omission, purposefully not telling us that,” she insisted as she put her hand on the wall in order to find the light switch, “how can we even be sure that my elemental powers weren’t passed down somehow like the others? Just because Lloyd had never seen it doesn’t mean that no one had ever seen it.”

“I guess you’re right,” Arin shrugged while putting his hand on the light switch and flicking it upwards while speaking, “after all, there was a whole elemental alliance during the Serpentine Wars and-whoa.”

Sora couldn’t even ask because when she turned around from where her eyes had been scanning Lloyd’s extensive bookshelf full of Starfarer comics at the foot of his bed, she laid her eyes on what had cut Arin off.

It wasn’t the vertical, cracked, wooden frame on his bedside table with a photo of an older man putting his hand on the shoulder of a much younger Lloyd or the horizontal frame of their teacher around the same age, but standing next to the much younger ninja and his uncle.

No, it was the haphazardly open scroll lying in front of both of them, displaying a drawing of a golden monster that had four arms, large horns sticking out of its head and glowing purple eyes.

“What the hell is that thing?” Sora demanded as she picked up the scroll, feeling the wear on the edges of it, not surprised that it was in a much older form of Ninjargon with how yellow it was.

“I think it’s an Oni,” Arin supplied as he walked forward to examine the illustration closer, his eyes squinting with concentration, “but the Oni aren’t gold, they’re as black as the deepest darkness you’ve ever seen.”

“Arin, you’re speaking in gibberish,” Sora cut off her friend’s ramblings while pushing the scroll into his hands, “what is an Oni?”

“They’re demons who only want to destroy. They invaded Ninjago when I was a little kid, and turned everybody into stone with their darkness,” Arin insisted as he tried to read the ancient language, “but the ninja vanquished them with the Tornado of Creation. They’re supposed to be gone.”

Sora’s heart dropped as she continued to look at the illustration and her stomach dropped just thinking about fighting that thing…even with help from Riyu, there was no way that she was anywhere near ready to fight a demon who only wanted to destroy, especially not one that was different enough that it worried Arin.

“Can you make out any of the Ninjargon?” Sora questioned, stuffing her hands into her pocket as she leaned over his shoulder even though she was fully aware that it was way out of her league.

“Only one phrase, and I’m not even sure if it’s right,” Arin admitted, his voice shaking as he spoke, “the descendant of light and darkness”,” 

The fear on her best friend’s face was enough to make her worry that he knew exactly what that meant, but she knew that she had to ask regardless, her mouth going dry, “Lloyd is the grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master-”

“-and the son of Lord Garmadon.” Arin confirmed as he put the scroll down, “we need to get out of here, now-”

“What are you two doing in here?”

Lloyd’s voice was stern, quite a few degrees above any of the annoyance that Sora had heard before, only making her fears that he was going to unleash the entirety of whatever the hell she and Arin couldn’t translate on them.

But when the two of them turned around, she was mildly relieved that he looked exactly like himself, albeit pissed off as he continued to speak, “this is an invasion of privacy, you two.”

“We’re leaving now, Lloyd,” Arin insisted, grabbing onto Sora’s wrist and trying to pull her out, but despite her fear, her anger took over and she refused to move despite Arin’s insistence of “Sora, let’s go.”

“Why didn’t you tell us that the First Spinjitzu Master is your grandfather?”

“I already explained this, Sora,” Lloyd sighed as his eyes continued to scan the room, seemingly trying to figure out what they had messed with, “it never came up.”

“It just never came up?” Sora scoffed as she reached for the scroll, making sure that it unrolled itself where Lloyd could see it in all of its horrific glory, “or did you want to keep this from us, like everything else that you haven’t told us?”

Sora expected Lloyd to lash out at her, to tell her to get out of his monastery, even just to scream at her for violating his personal space; so when his muscles tensed and his face froze in a mix of what looked like guilt and fear, she almost felt bad for not leaving when Arin tried to pull her away. Almost.

“Arin, I need to speak to Sora. Alone.” Lloyd finally spoke, his fists still balled up in what looked like stress until Arin left the room, when he only moved to pull the worn scroll out of her hands.

“My parents hid everything from me,” Sora’s anger was bubbling up now, unable to be stopped as she started to shout, “everyone hid everything from me in Imperium and I thought you were different, Lloyd!”

“Sora-” Lloyd started, but her yells cut him off with a violence that scared her in the deepest parts of her beating heart.

“Ever since we met, you’ve been honest with us. You told us everything, and now this!” Tears were starting to prick at her eyes against her will, the signs of where she had grown up starting to push through the exterior that she had built, “I wanted you to be different, Lloyd. I needed you to be different.”

“Do you really want to know everything?” Lloyd’s voice was filled with a comforting tone despite the numbness in between the lines, but when Sora nodded, the last thing she wanted to hear came out, “then you’ll have to wait.”

“But why?” She demanded, starting to feel the fire burn in her chest again, “why don’t you want me to know?”

“It has nothing to do with you, Sora. It has everything to do with me,” and with those words, the fire was instantly extinguished with confusion, but her lack of questioning allowed him to continue, “I’m not ready to talk about it. I don’t fully understand all of it, nor did I ever want it to happen. I can’t stop you from doing your own research, nor would I ever dissuade you with how much your ancient Ninjargon needs work.”

Despite the heavy air around them, she couldn’t help but smile briefly at the mild jab at her awful translation skills before letting out the apology that had built up despite her anger.

“I understand, and I’m really sorry for digging through your stuff, but can I ask you one question? After that, I’m done prying. I swear.”

“You can ask me whatever you need to, Sora,” Lloyd insisted, his gentle, calloused hand resting on her metal shoulder, “whenever you need to, even if I’m unable to answer.”

“Are you an Oni?” She couldn’t hide her voice trembling and given Lloyd’s slight slump of his body, he definitely heard it as well.

“The First Spinjitzu Master was half Oni and half Dragon, so are Garmadon and Master Wu, but my mother is human.”

“So you’re Oni, Dragon and human?” Lloyd’s nod was all the confirmation she received to which she couldn’t but speak while the pieces clicked in her head, “that’s why you’re the conduit, because you’re part dragon.”

“Yeah, that sounds about right,” Lloyd agreed before waving her toward the door, the scroll still in his left hand, “I’ll be out to talk about the plan in a few minutes. You should head downstairs.”

“Okay,” Sora nodded and headed toward the door, only to stop and say, “and Lloyd? I get the whole “shitty parents” thing, so you can talk to me too.”

“Does this mean you still trust me?” Lloyd’s voice was soft as he looked up from the scroll, his green eyes full of genuine questioning.

“Yeah,” Sora agreed, no longer harboring the anger that had built up inside of her once he she had processed his reasoning for his own lies of omission, “yeah, I guess it does.”

I'm here to tell you: Jay and Vania.

Okay look hear me out

I can't be the only person who thinks that Jay and Vania would get along really well (platonically), right?

Because of the whole skull sorcerer thing they barely got a chance to interact in S13, and Vania has only really made cameo appearances since then, but if they like got to know eachother they could totally become best friends.

They're both very energetic and social, Jay would definitely get Vania into Starfarer somehow, but I feel like she'd just like a background character or like a single select part of the series and just read/watch that over and over, but she still keeps up with the lore, mostly because she just likes being able to geek out about things. Jay would try to drag her into pranking somebody but she's scared it'll make them sad so she never agrees to it. Vania would end up visiting the arcade with him out of curiosity one day and they'd find some arcade game that she falls in love with and tries to ask if there's a way to play it in shintaro. Jay can't really fathom when she has to go for royal work because he just sees her as a casual acquaintance to the point where he just forgets she's the queen of shintaro.

And also Vania, Jay and Cole would definitely form a best friend trio. Tell me they wouldn't. Cole would be the person who introduced them, he definitely thought like "She kinda seems like she'd get along with Jay, maybe they can keep eachother occupied for a bit" so he got them to meet up to avoid the looming threat of insanity but it backfired horribly. He still (platonically) loves them though. I say that as if Cole isn't just as much of a menace.

Oh god this is making me want to draw them hanging out together help-

Random hcs I have because I may be cringe but I'm free part 24 (Ninjago)

My hcs on side-interests the ninja have. There will be little to no reasoning for most of these except I got the feeling (I'm not even going to attempt further explanation) Enjoy 👍

Kai: I've always thought that weapons (especially swords) and blacksmithing are def a huge special interest for him but I also feel like he would be into spiders and scorpions. If anybody else on the team started freaking out about a spider in the house (or the occasional scorpion on a mission) that he knows is harmless, he would definitely pick it up and chase them around with it (Jay is his most frequent victim). He's also into mixology. You know why.

Jay: Not gonna lie, had a hard time thinking about one for him, then I remembered he said he was into model building in the pilots and we never heard or saw of it again so yea, he gets to build little models. Considering how stressed out he gets in tough situations, I think he would really enjoy feeling like he's in total control of every little detail, and its probably good for blueprinting/practicing for new inventions.

Cole: This one kinda relates to his canon art interest but I feel like he would be really into old school cartoons. I'm talking black and white stuff. He would probably really enjoy that style and how outlandish some of those old characters could get in an age where there were a lot less boundaries. He would never try animating for himself but if he sees something he likes, he'll sit there and analyze one clip frame by frame until he understands.

Zane: BIRDS (I feel like these are just getting more and more canon compliant but whatever) You cannot tell me bro isn't an avid birdwatcher. Why else would Dr. Julien specifically choose a bird design when the aim was to make a friend for Zane? Bro could name all the native bird species for any region of Ninjago without needing to look it up. The birds like him back, too. Dude looks like a whole Disney princess everytime he relaxes outside cause all the nearby birds just flock to him and rest on his shoulders.

Nya: Much like Cole, Nya's into the classics, except she's strictly into movies, and not so classic that they're black and white. Annie, Braveheart, Alien, Predator, Crocodile Dundee, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Rocky, etc. if it came out before the year 2000, she's seen it and enjoyed it (she cried during Braveheart because we're actually really similar and I cried during Braveheart so now she does too). Despite how offensive some of that older stuff can be, she's never started a movie (or even sometimes a series of movies) that she couldn't finish.

Lloyd: Whatever the Ninjago equivalent of Pokémon is. You saw how much of a nerd he was, especially when he was still little, and especially about Starfarer. You're telling me he wouldn't freak out about something that has a show and a card game!? Even after he's been aged-up for a while, he still has and adds to his card collection and he still holds it VERY near and dear to his heart. After seeing how well the Starfarer thing worked, he has been slowly recruiting Jay so he can finally play against someone and get some use out of his collection, and its working.

The Starfarer Chronicles Chapter 1.5

01–01–408 GSC, Kadath

The Wanderer sat down with a huff. Fucking Solari, sending him down into an infinite hell to get a piece of technology. And of course, the Fusion Cell had its parts knocked out of place. And because the manufacturer was cheap, the access panel was a pain to remove.

After a minute of fumbling to get a grip, The Wanderer tore the panel off with a loud grunt, falling back slightly. 

“Suck it bitch.” He declared to the inanimate object, getting to work immediately. Man, everything really was knocked out of place, yet everything is still intact. Score! 

As he pulled out the wires, contemplating what he would do with the bonus for it being so intact, he noticed a fast approaching light being reflected off of the mechanical guts strewn about. The Wanderer himself had the gift of See-In-Darkness, so he hadn't come with a light, wishing to avoid attracting any predators, which meant only one thing. 

On instinct, heart hammering, The Wanderer grabbed one of their Blaster pistols from their waist, twirling around, and pointing it at the person that was running up to them.

“Tell me who you are and what you want, or I'll shoot.” The Wanderer announced in a stern voice, finger already on the trigger.

Despite his pessimism, the Stranger wasn't particularly threatening. In fact, under different circumstances, The Wanderer might have found them cute. 

They were short. Very short. Even sitting down cross-legged, he came up to their shoulders. They were wearing blue robes with gold edges, a purple scarf wrapped around their head and neck. All of it was clearly several sizes too big for them, giving them a baggy appearance only counteracted by the satchel they had slung across their shoulder. Glowing, blue-within-blue eyes stared from above the scarf, a clear spark of excitement visible while their cat ears stood to attention, poking tents into their hood. Their brown tail went this way and that. A small ball of fire hovered behind their shoulder, being the source of the light in the room.

The Stranger finished running up to him, coming to stand about a meter away from him. Their large eyes stared at his Blaster in utter fascination, seemingly unfazed by his demand.

“Tell me who you are, and what you want, or I'll shoot.” The Wanderer repeated harshly. He'd rather not kill this person, but he hoped the second time would get them to cooperate.

The newcomer turned their eyes from the gun towards him, clearly recognizing the annoyance in his voice. “AAABABA!”

That was not the answer The Wanderer was expecting. What in the ever living hell was that? Was this person trying to mess with him? 

The Stranger was clearly happy, almost like a kid answering a question. And either they didn't care that he was still pointing his gun at them, or, as he was beginning to suspect, didn't understand. They got on their hands and knees, coming over to investigate the Fusion Cell in front of him.

Well, at least they're not touching it. He thought, reaching for the tool he needed. Honestly, The Wanderer was almost done with the repairs anyways. He went about putting each individual part where it was supposed to go, clicking it into place, before moving on to the next part or wire. The whole time, the seemingly feral cave child watched with intense interest, their eyes never once deviating from the process. 

When the last part was in place, The Wanderer put the access plate back on, and scooped the Fusion Cell under his arm as he got up. As he did so, the Stranger got up and followed him with none of the same practiced grace as he. 

The Stranger followed him, a few steps behind, their eyes practically glued to him. He kept swiveling his head around to look at them, hand hovering over his gun.

After several minutes of walking in silence, the pair arrived at the ramp The Wanderer used to get down to here. At a little under 3 meters wide, it had plenty of room for him and his unusual companion.

After the first bend, the Stranger rummaged through their satchel, pulling out a Nutrient Brick, the soft crinkle of the wrapper filling the air. Huh, I didn't know there were any Synthesizers around here. So that's how they survived. 

“So, how long have you been down here? I assume a while since you have a whole bag of the Bricks. Any run-ins with some manner of beastie?”

The Stranger took another mouthful of Brick, staring at him while they noisily chewed. “Abapō amamama.” 

Yeah, this kid can't talk. The Wanderer thought with a dry laugh. Not unless random gibberish counts. 

The Stranger seemed confused for a moment, and after scarfing down another mouthful of semisolid nutrients, tried again. “Aglam iqorsh ass.” 

It was still gibberish, but the fact the last one happened to be “ass” made The Wanderer explode with laughter. The Stranger kept babbling incoherently all the way up the rest of the ramp. As they exited, the Carbon Guard stood around them, their armor painted in matching colors. The gang's leader stepped up. 

“Ah, you've returned. We were wondering if you'd be here on time, considering where the wreck is.”

The Wanderer held the cell in their hand, ignoring the comment. “I brought the Fusion Cell back in perfect, working condition. Give me my bonus pay like you said you would.”

The leader's face was hidden behind His helmet, but The Wanderer could feel the frustration coming from the trollish leader as he was ignored. He took the cell and started fiddling with it. After he removed and returned the access plate to confirm what The Wanderer said, he nodded in agreement. It was at this time that he noticed the Stranger.

“Who is this?” He asked, voice subtly harder, pointing at the Stranger, who ‘eeped’ and got behind the Wanderer immediately. Turning to look at them, he saw that the Stranger's uncaring attitude had evaporated. Where there was once curiosity, there was now unease and fear.

“Don't worry Solari. I found them down in the tunnels. Can't understand a word.”

“This wasn't part of the deal Raj. We never said anything about paying 2 people.”

“The deal was you paid me for getting a Fusion Cell your friend lost down in the tunnels, extra if it was in working condition. I have gotten you the cell in working condition. They don't change anything about the trade.” 

The Leader tossed the cell back to one of their companions, hands grabbing the rifle dangling on his side from his shoulders. “Don't bullshit me. I can see their eyes, they're a mutie freak! And is that a ball of fire behind them? A mage too!?”

Just as Raj, the Wanderer was about to grab his gun, the largest member of the gang came up and grabbed his leader. 

“He's right. He has done as we asked, and now honor demandss we pay him.” The Vesk spoke, his deep voice hissing slightly as his accent slipped through.

As the Leader turned to face his gang, he saw the others were clearly unhappy with his reaction. “Fine. Here's your credits, with bonus.” 

He held out a fist full of thin, small silver bars. Credsticks.

Raj happily and quietly took them, and swiftly pocketed them. Money attained and the Carbon Guard walking away towards their hovercraft, their backs facing them and showing the gang's logo, Raj turned to his companion. 

“Well, I can't just leave you here, now can I?” He sighed tiredly. “Don't worry, the nearest Tubeway Station isn't that far.”

The Stranger looked up at him, their brows knitted in confusion. 

========================

Raj sat in his seat, fiddling with his wrist mounted computer. His fingers danced across the screen, bringing up his list of contacts. After only a few seconds of aggressive scrolling, he got to the one he was looking for. After listening to it ringing for 30 seconds, a click sounded, followed by a rustling and some muffled talking.

“Sorry about that, kids wanted to talk. Whatcha need Raj?”

“I need your help with getting someone a home.”

“Another orphan?”

“I'm not sure. I ran into them down in the tunnels while on a job. Poor thing has a severe case of Tunnel Sickness. Any attempt at talking is literally just random noises.”

There was silence. “Are you sure it's a good idea to give them to us? You know how bad sufferers can be overstimulated.”

“Believe me, I know.” He stated, looking over at the Stranger next to him. Almost as soon as the pair had finally reached the city proper, the Stranger had gone quiet. 

They had their knees up to their chest, sleeves emptied. Their tail curled over to cover their feet, fur wiggling with their toes. Despite it all, their eyes bounced around, looking at everything excitedly, ears whipping around wildly at every sound.

How could he blame them? After being in the tunnels for long enough, the brain becomes sensitive to outside stimuli. And the Tubeway Pod had plenty of stimuli to give, due to the overcrowding that always occurs around 1600 hours. 

A Kasatha monk stood serenely amongst a group of angry teenagers. An elven mother who looked like she hadn't slept in 3 years tried to quiet her baby. An Ork in a pink dress thumbed through a book titled “How to Honourably Garden”. A group of adventurers were planning whatever chaos they were going to get into next. A gaseous lifeform that smelled like rotten eggs in an environmental suit was referencing a map.

And those were just their immediate neighbors. 

“I'm gonna try and help them at least start recovering, then I figured you and the girls could handle the rest. I'm not the best choice to handle this.”

“Fair enough.” She purred. “Well, can I at least get a description so we can plan ahead?”

“1.4 meters tall, 42 kg, mage, bl—”

Raj stopped as he heard laughter through his comms. “I'm sorry, you sound like you're reading a wanted poster, I'm still not used to it!” She guffawed.

“No it's okay, I do sound like that. It's just kinda how I talk. Usually.” He stated, slight inflection on the last word. 

“Okay, I think I'm good. Anything else of note?”

“Other than clothes and the aforementioned tunnel sickness? Not much, but it's also been only an hour or two.”

“Any particular reason for liking this one so much?”

“Because when I look into their eyes…” He said as he looked down at the young mage. They looked up at him with their big, glowing blue eyes. Despite the obvious catching quality, it was the spark of intelligence there that usually wasn't there with cases this bad that stood out. “I see something that's unexpected. I'm not sure their mind has completely gone.”

“Hmm… I want to see them soon then. I know a few spells that could help.”

“Agreed. I'll make sure they can talk before we pick a day.”

“Agree—” BANG “Ssssshit, what was that? Damn kids, talk later.” Click, and the voice was gone. 

Raj waved his hand in irritation, frustrated at Luck's intervention. Figures. 

The Pod doors swooshed open shortly after, allowing the passengers to disembark. Raj waited for things to thin out before he grabbed the Stranger. Normally, he’d be more reluctant to handle someone in such a delicate mental state, but the Stranger clearly liked it before when he carried them onto the pod, so it was safe to assume carrying them off would be ok. 

Lo and behold, his guess was right. They clung to him like a drowning rat clinging to wood. Still, they looked around at their surroundings with unending curiosity and excitement.

The Pod was bad, but the streets weren’t much better. A Cosmopolis like this is the worst place to be if one has sensory issues. But, he didn’t have a choice. His ship was at the docks, and without the money to afford a transporter, he had to walk. 

The Stranger whimpered as a stage magician conjured a gout of fire as part of their performance. Raj held the Stranger slightly tighter. “It’s ok. We’re almost home, and then you can relax.”

Almost on cue, The docks loomed over them, Raj’s ship visible from where they stood at the base.

Hello!

I really enjoy all your writings and I saw that there was very little Jay so I decided to take my shot and request something for him.

If you had the chance to could you write a fluffy one shot of Jay where him and the reader are dancing.

They dance together and laugh and just have fun for a bit until a slow song comes up.

Them they just sway to the music in each other's arms, just enjoying each other's presence.

(Also, I am excitedly waiting for the next chapter of the Young Garmadon story. Can't wait for the update!)

“I should really fix my sleep schedule.” 

The words tumble from your lips as you frown, staring at the pot of water in front of you. It rests on the eye of the stove, gradually warming up. Exhaustion laces your eyes, but you know you won’t be able to sleep. 

Plus, you’re hungry, and macaroni and cheese sounds delicious right about now. You eye the pack of cheese mix and box of noodles, eagerly waiting for the water to heat up. A few seconds later, you hear the oven beeping. Thankfully, you’ve prepared the dinosaur nuggets already, so you slip them inside the preheating oven, being sure to set a timer.

You decide that you’ll check in on your roommate, knowing that he’s probably up and tinkering away. Before you go, though, you grab a bottle of water from the fridge, already knowing that he’s probably dehydrated.

Sighing, you make your way through your apartment before stopping in front of his door, knocking a few times. “Jay?”

“Huh? Come in,” you hear him say. You push the door open, stepping inside. 

There sits Jay, stationed at his desk with some kind of robot on it. Tools lay scattered across the top. His red hair is wild and unkempt, but part of you finds it cute. 

“Hey, sorry to interrupt,” you start, setting the bottle of water on his desk. “But I just wanted to tell you that I’m making mac and cheese and dino nuggets if you want some. Everything will be ready in about twenty minutes. Also, hydrate or I steal your kneecaps,” you instruct, pointing to the water bottle and staring at him sternly. 

He raises his hands in mock surrender, smiling softly as his blue eyes sparkle in the dim lighting. “That all sounds great. Can we watch Starfarer too? I could use a break from this damned thing,” he mumbles, gesturing to his robot. 

“Of course we can. The night is still young,” you joke. 

“Wait, what time is it?” he wonders, glancing around. “Ugh...where’d I put my phone?” 

“Almost three,” you reply. “And your phone is right there, on your pillow.” 

“Oh, thanks,” he responds. “Okay. Give me a few minutes and I’ll be out.” 

“Sounds good,” you say, smiling at him before you gently close his door. 

Your smile fades as you walk back into the kitchen, sighing as you enter it. You never thought you would click with someone as well as you did with Jay. He’s like your roommate soulmate. Or...something like that.  

And honestly? You’d be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t have feelings for him. By now, the two of you have been living together for almost a year. But that would just be weird, right? You couldn’t make things weird. You two are both busy as it is – with college, work, life, et cetera. There’s just no way something like that could work. 

Something annoying in your heart whispers to you that it’s not true, though. As much as you would like to believe it, you just can’t. Not when he’s the only one splitting rent with you. Yeah, you could find another roommate, but you doubt you’d get along with anyone else as well. Not with your nonexistent sleep schedule. 

You shut those thoughts down, electing to just focus on your mac for now. Mac and cheese. Yes please. 

After dumping the noodles in, you wait for them to cook while checking the notifications on your phone. There’s nothing much of interest there, but that doesn’t surprise you. There’s never anything exciting going on in your life anyway. 

It’s then that your Bluetooth speaker catches your eye from its corner on the counter. Hm...surely it wouldn’t hurt to play a quiet song, right? 

Decision made, you turn it on before shuffling the playlist you and Jay created together. 

First up is “Blue Monday” by New Order. Damn, putting the bangers on already. You set your phone down once you’re satisfied with the volume, listening to the instrumental’s introduction. How fitting that this plays on a Monday. 

Jay steps into the kitchen a few seconds later, donning a pair of pajama pants with cute dinosaurs all over them along with a Fritz Donnegan shirt. Additionally, he has on a pair of Pikachu slippers. He sets his water bottle on the counter. To your delight, you find that he actually had drank about half of it. 

“Ugh, I got so absorbed that I didn’t realize how hungry I was,” he says. You chuckle, directing your stare back to the mac and cheese so you can check on it. 

“I figured. You’ve been holed up in your room for a while.” 

“Yeah...finals are coming up and I still don’t understand what’s wrong with my code,” he mumbles with a sigh, bumping his forehead on the wall. “I can’t wait for this semester to be done.” 

“Same,” you comment as you realize that the noodles are done cooking, proceeding to the next step. “I feel like the days have just been dragging on.” 

“Me too,” he responds, peering into the oven for a second before he turns his head towards the speaker. “Hey, I love this song!” 

“It’s our playlist, remember?” 

“Oh, right,” he replies, softly nodding his head to the beat. “I can’t believe you actually use it.” 

“Of course I do!” you retort, whirling around to face him. “Why wouldn’t I?” 

He shrugs in response, still bobbing to the music. “I dunno. Just thought you’d forget about it after a while, I guess.” 

“Well, I didn’t. I listen to it all of the time,” you reply. “Do you?” 

“Yeah. I listen to it all of the time.” 

“Thought so,” you mumble, going to check on the nuggets. Still not quite ready, but that’s not much of a surprise considering that your timer hasn’t gone off yet. You’re about to search for dishes to set the table with when suddenly Jay snatches your hand and the speaker, bringing you out in the living room. 

You observe him as he releases your hand, setting the speaker on the coffee table. “Jay, what are you doing?” 

“Dance with me.” 

“What?” 

“Let’s dance,” he says again, holding his hand out to you. “Come on, it’s fun!” 

You smile, shaking your head as the lyrics to the song kick in after the long musical introduction. “Seriously?” 

“Seriously.” 

“Fine,” you relent, taking his hand. He grins, spinning you around before separating and dancing. But...not in an amateur kind of way. It looks like he actually knows what he’s doing? This lanky, introverted nerd of a man can actually dance? 

“Wait, since when can you dance?!” you wonder as you watch him in disbelief. 

“I took a few lessons with my friends a while back,” he replies, shrugging. “Just let it all go. You know that I, of all people, won’t judge you.” 

“Okay, fair enough,” you reply. He continues with his moves as you start moving too, if a bit bashfully at first. Soon enough, though, you’re able to push past that and actually enjoy yourself. 

“There you go!” Jay encourages, twiriling you again. 

You find yourself relaxing as your heart pounds, getting more lost into the song as you and Jay dance in the living room. For some reason, this is the most excitement you’ve felt all semester. Just being dumb with your roommate, who you may or may not be in love with. Watching him move in his stupid Fritz Donnegan shirt and dinosaur pants...his red hair disshevled to hell, blue eyes sparking like lightning... 

You’re about to say something when the timer rudely interrupts your dance session. You frown, going to turn it off. 

“Dino nuggies?” Jay questions, voice hopeful. 

“Dino nuggies,” you answer as he follows you to the kitchen. Jay steps over to the cabinents, grabbing a few dishes to set next to you. You portion out the food before snagging a drink and getting ready to sit down. 

Soon enough, the two of you are seated and enjoying your Michelin-star worthy meal. 

“Thank you for making all of this,” Jay says, picking up one of his nuggets and grinning. You recognize that grin, pulling your plate of nuggets closer to you as you eye him suspiciously. 

“You’re welcome,” you reply hesitantly. Dinosaur nuggets are special for the two of you – every time they’re made, a new chapter of the Dinosaur War is added. Jay seems to be scheming, which makes you weary. 

He places one of his nuggets on the plate, holding it so that it’s standing and facing you. “I know this might be a tender subject, but I propose an impromptu meeting.” 

Oh man. Here come the chicken puns. You sigh, picking up a stegosaurus nugget. “Sir Dinglehopper, you know that I have high egg-spectations. What of this meeting? What are we to discuss?” 

“A truce, Lady Bumfuzzle,” he replies. “The fact of the matter is that, over the course of our trifles, I have found your leadership to be rather im-peck-able. I believe we should merge our forces together in order to defeat the aliens.” 

You raise an eyebrow through a bite of mac and cheese, not quite believing him. Your stegosaurus tilts to the side questioningly. “How do I know that you’re not planning an ambush?” 

“We will meet on neutral territory, with the Council observing our union!” 

You sigh, deciding to give in to his antics. “Very well then. We will meet at the Council.” 

“Yes!” Jay cheers, proceeding to eat his chicken nugget. You shake your head while smiling, doing the same. “To be continued!” 

“You better not destroy my army again,” you huff between bites. 

Jay chuckles at the memory. “I would never.” 

“Whatever,” you mumble, laughing quietly as the room falls quiet save for the music. The two of you eat in silence. Normally, Jay’s chattier, but with all the work he’s been doing on his robot, you know he has to be exhausted. Like you. Tired, but unable to fall asleep – whether it was due to projects, homework, or other variables. Either way, you still enjoy these nights with him. 

A few minutes later, though, the two of you finish your late-night meals. After cleaning up, your interest piques at the new song change. 

This one is a slower song – not as energetic as the previous ones. You turn to find Jay standing at the counter, humming softly as he gazes at you. 

“What is it?” you wonder, tilting your head slightly when he sticks his hand out to you again. You quietly, take it, gasping when he pulls you to his chest. “J...Jay?” 

“You’re the best, you know that?” 

“Huh? I am?” 

“You always look out for me when I forget to take care of myself,” he mumbles as the two of you sway together. 

“Well, yeah,” you reply, resting the side of your head on his chest as the two of you sway. “You look out for me, too. We kind of suck at this self-care thing.” 

From the way his chest is vibrating, you think he’s chuckling. “Yeah. We really do.” 

The song gives you a chance to think for a moment. Tonight feels...different. More intimate, maybe? A confession dances on your lips as you debate on whether or not you should tell him. Fear restrains the confession, though, causing your expression to sink as your confidence falters. 

Instead, you glance up at him in an attempt to decipher his expression. His eyes meet yours, and you study his face. His lips, his eyes, that cute little notch in his eyebrow... 

Stars. You want to tell him...but your anxiety is eating you alive. How are you supposed to coherently tell him how you feel? You close your eyes, trying to gather your courage. 

“Fuck me,” you mumble, groaning. 

“What’s wrong?” 

“I just..it’s...” you stumble over your words, trying to figure out what to say. His expectant blue eyes prompt you to continue, however, and in that moment, you find a surge of determination out of nowhere. Not that you’re complaining. “I like you, Jay. I really like you. But, I don’t want to make you feel weird, or uncomfortable, and I don’t want things to be messed up between us, and I feel like now I shouldn’t have said anything-” 

“Hey,” Jay interrupts, smiling smally. 

“Huh?” 

“Rambling’s my thing, not yours,” he jokes, pressing a hand to the side of your face. “Truth be told...I feel the same way. I was just too scared to actually say anything to you.” 

“Wait, really?” you question, heart pumping rapidly. 

“Yeah. You’re kind of scary sometimes.” 

“Scary?!” 

“Okay, maybe scary isn’t the right word. How about intimidating? I means, a lady who massacres my dinosaur nugget army is kind of menacing. But also kind of hot.” 

You laugh, shifting your arms so that you’re facing him. “I’ll massacre your dinosaur nugget army anytime.” 

Jay chuckles as his arms shift to your waist, holding you close to him. His gaze dips down to your lips before returning to your eyes. 

“Can I kiss you?” 

You nod, smiling at his sweetness as he dips his head down, planting his lips onto yours. You close your eyes, kissing him back as you find yourself pushed against the counter. 

A few seconds later, the two of you separate, gazes locked on each other as he holds you. You can’t help but giggle as you take his hand, dragging him out to the couch, making sure to grab your phone on the way there. 

You pause the music before plopping onto the couch, Jay coming to sit beside you as you reach for the remote. 

“Starfarer?” 

“Yes!” 

With that, you put on Starfarer as Jay snatches a blanket, the two of you cuddling up together as Fritz Donnegan conquers his enemies. You remain snuggled against him until you fall asleep, grateful that you decided to speak up.

I love your one shot about Lloyd and his twin and about the tomorrow tea. I was wondering if you if it’s not too much trouble if you have any hc about the aftermath like what happened when Lloyd arrived home, twin’s reaction to their suddenly being older, etc?

You got it!

Word count: 685

Ninjago - Being Lloyd's Younger Twin After the Tomorrow's Tea Incident

Part I here

You bounced your leg impatiently. It had been several hours since your brother Lloyd had left to help the ninjas, and you were starting to get worried. You had both been instructed to stay put while the ninjas responded to a distress call, but when you received a call from Jay requesting that Lloyd (specifically him, and not you) bring their weapons, Lloyd decided to oblige him. You tried to convince him to let you tag along, but gave up pretty quickly when you realized that you could have the TV all to yourself.

That was several hours ago. The TV was no longer of interest to you—you were watching the dark sky outside more than the screen.

You stood up, resolving to call one of the ninjas to see what was going on. Before you even picked up the phone you heard the unmistakable hiss of the Bounty docking on the roof above, and with a rush of relief you hurried up.

You were met first with Nya, who smiled at you, but there was something off about the smile. You’d almost say there was pity in it, but you couldn’t be sure. 

Jay, Cole, Kai, Zane, Wu. They were all shooting similarly pitiful looks at you as they each passed in succession. You ignored them, looking past them for your brother.

“Where’s Lloyd?”

You felt a hand on your shoulder, and Nya’s sympathetic face appeared beside you. “Y/n, there’s something you should know before you see him.”

You didn’t like her tone. Clearly, something bad had happened. You glanced over the ninjas. None of them appeared to be too roughed up, and with a sinking feeling you wondered if that meant that Lloyd had taken the brunt of an attack.

“What happened?” You asked, trying to keep the panic out of your voice. “Is he okay?”

“I’m fine,” a new voice came from the direction of the Bounty. It was familiar, but… altered. As if the speaker was using a voice filter. 

You whirled around to see Lloyd. Was that Lloyd? It couldn’t be. He was so tall! And his voice; it was slightly deeper than that of the Lloyd you knew.

But he had the same platinum hair. His emerald eyes sparkled with his signature charm—part mischief, part maturity, all lovable. 

Your apprehension must have shown on your face, because the stranger (or was he not a stranger?) laughed. 

“I look a little different now, huh?”

You heard the ninjas scrambling to explain, but their voices were just noise to you as you stared confoundedly at your brother. You caught enough to understand that some kind of magic potion had caused him to age several years at once; everything else went straight through one ear and out the other.

Lloyd was smiling somewhat awkwardly at you. You didn’t like it. His chiseled face was so different from the youthful roundness that you were accustomed to. 

This isn’t my brother. But it was.

The distrusting way you looked at him that night continued for several more days. Every time you laid eyes on him, it was as if your brain couldn’t compute that this was the same boy you’d grown up with. No matter how many times you corrected yourself, you just couldn’t seem to grasp that this wasn’t a stranger.

These thoughts weren’t helped by his shift in behavior. He had played video games with you mere hours before on that fateful night, and now he wouldn’t even sit on the couch with you. He was always training or helping the ninjas with their duties. You were lucky if he gave you so much as a passing glance, let alone a minute of his time. 

You tried to tempt him: turning up the volume while you played his favorite games, deliberately splaying Starfarer comics on the table, anything that might’ve caught the old Lloyd’s attention. But this new Lloyd was simply too busy. Too responsible. Too mature. 

You stared at your round young face in the mirror. Tears pricked your eyes as you whispered to yourself:

“He grew up without me.”

Thanks for your request, and thank you for reading! Take care sweets <33

[namelysane]

What does the public thinks of little hellspawn after her existence is reveled?

Also did the ninja explain everything at the start to nip every future problems in the bud or did they lied about where she came for?

Is she meme'd in amy way maybe or something?

no words can explain how much I love this rn :D

So the idea is that the public finds out about her some time before the beginning of Skybound — when she's about 2. And since this is also during the time the ninja were chucked into as many interviews as possible, the team gets these type of questions a lot. A.K.A; every single blasted time.

It also doesn't help that the number one theory these interviewers have is a teenage pregnancy.

Gayle Gossip: So Mr Garmadon, (insert shocked pikachu face on Lloyd and all the other ninja), what do you think of the current... widespread interest surrounding the identity of the mother of your child?

Lloyd starts choking: W-Wha—

Kai spits out his water at Jay's face : Are you fucking kidding me?

Gayle Gossip ignores him : Also, a great number of your fans have theorized that your daughter was conceived with none other than the Master of Form — whom you have begun a relationship with ever since the Tournament of Elements. What are your thoughts on that speculation, Mr Garmadon?

Nya (groans) : Oh hell no.

Lloyd, panicking : What the heck is it with you and the 'Mr Garmadon' thing, again?!

Gayle Gossip: My apologies. I did not realize that your father's surname was still a rather sensitive topic.

Lloyd stares at her in shock : That's not tru—

Gayle Gossip (coughs) : Now back to our question. Is the current Master of Form truly the mother of your daughter?

Cole looks at her in disbelief : Excuse me, but does she even look like her to you?

Gayle Gossip : I do not recall asking you the question, Earth Ninja.

Lloyd then raises up a hand, finally fed up : Actually, I made her.

Gayle Gossip blinks in surprise : Why...of course. But surely you did not do such a thing alone, Mr Garmado—

Lloyd cuts her off : No. I mean I made her. As in I made made her. *looks at the others for help but gets none* Uh... It's a long story, really.

Gayle Gossip:

Lloyd:

The ninja:

Then, about literally three seconds later,

Gayle Gossip, pretends as though she actually understands: I see...but who is the mother?

And she is memed. A reporter managed to get a picture of her while she was being held by Lloyd and sticking two of her fingers up his nose. The thing is, both of them are middle fingers, so it really looks something like: fuck you for not putting me down for a nap — it's not my fault you just had to go check out the latest Starfarer comic and couldn't find a competent babysitter. And the caption of the meme is literally 'Your honor, I have every right to choose violence' , which is kinda just how the average day looks like for Lloyd.

Lloyd Garmadon Headcanons because I love him

First headcanon (ever)

- [ ] He has a sweet tooth but not as bad as people would think, he tried to curb it more when he became the Green Ninja. Lloyd wants to be disciplined and live up to peoples expectations, but when no one’s around he’ll grab a handful from a secret stash under his bed

- [ ] Lloyd’s favorite candies are: Anything minty (he got a taste as a child when the darthly’s boys would barter gum cause sugar was banned), bubblegum, hard candies with a soft centre, assorted fruit gummies, some jellybeans, and fizzy candies that sparkle in your mouth.

- [ ] He doesn’t like many chocolate candies, but he does like chocolate used in baked deserts. Zane would often bake chocolate desserts for the team after long days training, yet they never stuck around for long and blamed Cole but it was actually Lloyd sneaking in at night when no one was around.

- [ ] When Lloyd was aged up using dark magic his mind didn’t age with him. He was still mentally a child in a teenagers body.

- [ ] After Wu was lost to time Lloyd dealt with it by losing himself in Starfarer comics, video games, and children’s movies. He was helped out of it by Misako and the team when they were under the same roof.

- [ ] Lloyd has a “secret” stash of things under his bed. It’s all things that he’s embarrassed about: like candy, old blankets, starfarer comics, and a plush kitty he was given by his mom when she left him at the boarding school.

- [ ] He’s embarrassed about them because he uses them to calm down when he’s stressed or upset. It makes him feel weak asking for help because he’s meant to be the team leader.

- [ ] When him and Pythor took over Darkley’s, Lloyd took a detour to grab his stuffed animal which he’s protected ever since.

- [ ] Lloyd loves his fans and loves that he can inspire children to be good like the ninja inspired him.

- [ ] When he gets home from meet and greets he’s so drained he sleeps in till noon

- [ ] Lloyd’s the worst sleeper of the ninja, he usually spends nighttime studying, training, playing games, or reading. Which results in him waking up at all times in the afternoon

- [ ] Lloyd, Kai, Jay, and Cole have held “sleeping contests” before where they pull all-nighters and see for how long they can sleep after.

- [ ] He hates meditation with a passion, yet does it because he thinks it’s good for him

- [ ] He’s tried to get into robotics and engineering so he could help Nya and Pixal. He’s good at the concepts but when things do go right he quits and storms off

- [ ] Lloyd builds pillow forts and wraps himself up in blankets sometimes. He sees this as reclaiming his childhood but it’s also to get a sense of control in his life.

- [ ] Lloyd is simple with his pizza toppings, as a kid he only ever liked cheese but he’s growing towards pepperoni cause it’s Jays favorite too and everyone else can tolerate it.

- [ ] Lloyd is very specific about his choice or bedsheets. He’s spent days picking the right sheets and textures and heat
