Does The Fandom Still Remember That During Episode 12 Or Episode 13 Of Season 1, Garm Was Basically About

This part though... This. Freaking. Part.

Imagine Garmadon and Lloyd fighting off droves of Vengestone Warriors, and Lloyd freezes in place upon watching his father fight, remembering how he was thrown around and grabbed and beaten and bruised by his father before, and he doesn't move because he's too terrified of having to work with the man who almost killed him multiple times. A Vengestone Warrior creeps up on Lloyd and Garmadon takes it out, which snaps Lloyd back to reality and they fight more and more of the VS Warriors.

After the events of S11, the ninja are back to being whole once more. With Zane once again himself and Aspheera having been locked away, they're ready more than ever for whatever that'll come next. But to be fair, being ready for THIS was impossible.

Please, how were they even supposed to know that a teenage Lord Garmadon would end up at the monastery?

This audio and Cole, Kai, and Jay’s faces????? 😭 I simply had to.

Basically what if current Lloyd meets baby him. Logic is a foreign concept, you have been warned.

Lloyd to his younger self : What on Earth possessed you to get that haircut?

Younger Lloyd : What on Earth possessed you to look like this? Did you fill in your eyebrows or something?

Lloyd : uh, no—

Younger Lloyd cuts him off : and why are your eyes green anyway? Did you put contacts on because you disowned dad? Are...are you ashamed of dad?

Lloyd : .....

Younger Lloyd crosses his arms : Well?

Lloyd : I — I —

Younger Lloyd : yeah, you what?

Lloyd, literally about to break down sobbing : He disowned me!

This was funnier in my head lol.

THINGS I REALLY WISH GARM HAD THE BRAINCELLS TO WISH FOR USING THE MEGA WEAPON...

(I'm just pissed someone got their hands on a wish granting souvenir and basically... wasted it)

1. A wish to instantly turn Ninjago into his image. - (sighs) My man did everything he could to get to that point without just wishing for it instantly himself and taking the easy route. I fucking love this guy. ❌

2. A cure for the goddamned venom. - you'd think this one would be the most obvious of them all right? But apparently our Dark Lord didn't see that it was so here we are. (Though, sometimes I headcannon that he DID in fact try it, but it didn't work. I mean, the Golden Weapons were made by the FSM and even HE couldn't cure his own son so...) I'll give this a pass. ✅

Okay, I know the first two are the obvious ones. But let's move on.

3. Go back in time and I don't know...maybe STOP the Devourer's bite from happening in the first place, I GUESS? For fuck's sake, my dude literally DID use the weapon to go back in time in Episode 19, but did he decide to use it for this? Oh hell, no. ❌ But imagine if he DID though, but something goes wrong and Wu gets bitten instead. And the next thing he knows, he's pulled back to the present (because I'm just going to pretend the Mega Weapon has some screwed-up time limit) and sees the future he caused...and tries to fix it. (Because absolutely nothing goes as planned in canon and fanon)

4. A wish to strip his son of the prophecy. - Look, I get it. You're horrified you have to fight your own child to death and you've somehow managed to kinda accept it in later episodes of Season 2. Okay. So why not just wish Lloyd wasn't the Green Ninja? It wouldn't even hurt him. - The wish could still somewhat backfire by the role going to someone like Kai or the other ninja for example. But do you have to still stomach the realization you have to destroy your own son? Well, not really, huh? ❌

5. A wish to turn Lloyd back into a child. - So he was ambushed by the ninja in Episode 19 and that was when he first saw his son's...growth spurt, I guess? He was straight up horrified, but was it because he realized Lloyd lost his childhood or because he knew that this meant the Final Battle was drawing closer? An easy fix would be to just make him younger instead of... opening a portal into the past. He'd have more time to prepare and plus, this would also mean Lloyd could still have a childhood. And I don't think the ninja would try to pressure Lloyd to take Tomorrow's Tea again, now that he's got a second chance. Maybe Lloyd would argue though, but I doubt they would've let him.

NINJAGO ANIMATIC OUT NOW WOOOOOOOOOO

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

Shackles Broken, Enemy Awoken

Starset - Something Wicked

Is this where the liar ends?

Dark where the light had been 

Lost at the war within

Out of myself, I feel it crawling 

How can I tell if this is the ending? 

Out of myself it began evolving 

I am not well, repent I'm guilty

[A scene that I had planned to be in a fanfic of mine that was discontinued but has a rewrite in process. Enjoy.]

From the moment his son had cleansed his blood of the evil that was the Devourer's venom, Garmadon was a good man.

Or at least he had tried to be. And here he was, chained up in a realm he could no longer remember the name of, memories drifting further and further apart until he was stranded, alone. But still, he held on.

He missed his son. He missed Lloyd.

Garmadon only wished he was able to see him again. It had been too long, a memory of Lloyd's face, green eyes like his filled with the torment that Morro had brought upon him, along with the permanent eye bags that crinkled with Lloyd's uneasy smile.

Time kept stretching on under endless sky, or what he could judge of it. He was losing faith. This was what he deserved anyway. Endless imprisonment, a price paid for sacrificing himself. Or was it for destroying the lives of many?

Then he heard it. A call from beyond. From the emerald green murkiness, came a feminine voice. Garmadon yelped in his spot as winds suddenly whiplashed him as they passed, heading in a certain direction. He could do nothing as the air-turned blades slashed at his skin.

A laugh followed. Garmadon looked down at himself, attempting to distract himself from the pain. A chill washed over him, instead of the relief he so desperately wanted. A line, dark as night, began to snake up his skin, turning all it touched into the same colour.

His left hand was already in such condition, lines thickening as they curled up his arm, reaching deep into his bones and stealing away the warmth that lay underneath. Like a bad omen, he felt its evil grasp him in its unforgiving grip.

It was not yet done. Garmadon whimpered quietly, attempting to fight it with crumbling memories of a family left behind, torn apart by his departure. There was no stopping his unbecoming. His return to the old self.

A scream tore itself from his throat, tormented cries lost in the raging wind that hurtled past him. Something he could no longer feel on his skin. A scream so raw it left what remained of his lungs aching with heartbreak, with the great loss that came with this, tears beginning to stream down his face.

No one else but him heard.

And then the worst came.

''I call upon thee lord of many names. Lord of Destruction! King of Shadows! Lord Garmadon! Garmadon!'' The voice called again, this time clearer despite the wind.

''Who... calls... me!?'' The growl echoed from him. But it wasn't him, it couldn't have been... Garmadon had worked so hard... but to come back to this? The chains rattled in their place. He felt a heat searing his eyes, red briefly covering his vision.

Then it was gone. Like he had just begun a race, Garmadon- no, Lord Garmadon, began to pant, leaning over. The rattling suddenly became a pain in his ears. Another growl and he tugged at them. A strength that wasn't there before clawed at his restraints.

Lord Garmadon snarled as he began to break free, the metal breaking under newfound strength, then looked around as he tried to locate the source of the voice that had called to him.

The last of Sensei Garmadon was gone once both of his restraints were broken. And whoever needed him now, whoever that was, now only a blurry memory of a boy with blond hair that would never get him back.

Her voice came again. Garmadon stumbled towards the sound, relying only on his hearing, his sight useless to him. All that mattered now was the voice. And only the voice.

It all fell silent. The wind stopped. He faltered. There was no familiar sound, the one thing he had grown to want to get to was gone.

Lord Garmadon screamed at the walls, clawing at his confines, falling to the ground as his twisted hopes were dashed. He narrowed his eyes. There was a way.

And he was going to escape.

At the Temple of Resurrection, the altar lay bare of the items it once held, the room dark and emptied. Then, the room was lit with purple flames.

A hand emerged from the pedestal.

Something wicked this way comes.

I feel like one of the biggest letdowns when it comes to the C.O.C.K was the lack of a REAL Vangelis and Cole rematch. They're the only ninja/villain pair that actually HAD that massive rivalry, Cole tore everything from Vangelis, his power, his throne, the adoration of his people, and his child (at least how he sees it, Vangelis literally disowned his daughter but acts like Cole turned her against him lmao).

It would have been fucking AWESOME to have seen an actual, enjoyable fight between them, not just a teensy bit of fighting and some banter or whatever. The original fight between Cole and Vangelis was, and still is, one of the greatest fight scenes in the entire series, and I feel like, had Crystalized done better and actually given them a longer fight, there could've been an even better addition to the greatest Ninjago fights ever...
