How did lloyd and hellspawn did on the time skip after season (and by that i mean how bad)
For a long time—and especially during those first few weeks before being reunited with Kai, Lloyd was a total mess.
Imagine this, he was already hysterical in season 9 when she was taken along with the elemental masters because of Harumi and that was only for days. The time-skip after the merge is like, 5 years. Poor guy. Not only did he just lose everyone he grew up with and knew, he also lost his kid.
At first, he stepped out of the monastery for a bit to find everyone, but later returned home alone. Then he tried fixing Wu's destroyed scrolls to make some sense of them but that didn't work. Nothing seemed to work.
By the time Kai found him — you heard that right, Kai found him — green boy was a depressed mess who looked like he hadn't slept in weeks or seen anyone. He's definitely lost weight since Kai's last seen him, and we're not looking at a Morro situation.
So they talk. Kai tries to console his baby brother but it's not helping much. Lloyd spends most of his time either in Wu's library or in his room staring at a damaged stuffed dragon. At this point, Kai's the only reason he's a functioning adult and tries to get him to eat and shower but yeah, one day Kai had enough.
He drags Lloyd out of bed one morning after greenie mumbles he's not hungry and forcefully sits him down to get some sense into him, which is funny because that's usually Lloyd's job.
Yeah, she's gone. She's not here in this monastery right now with her dolls or playing tag with Luke after school—but he has to remember that she needs to have someone to come back to. They all do. Not taking care of himself like this isn't helping anyone. So could he please pull himself togethe—
I'm still waiting until part 2 to decide where the heck hellspawn ended up though. All I can say is that, it took a long time for her to finally understand what on earth was going on and why she's no longer in the monastery with everyone. Man, she's only 8. Only 8 fucking years old and all alone, what have I done. I'll elaborate more on her after we really understand dragons rising.
Not to be THAT person
But Harumi's backstory was clearly written by someone who did not watch the very first season of Ninjago
She claims that when she was a child she was a fan of the Ninja, she had their toys and everything
She said that when the Great Devourer came, the ninja failed to do their jobs, and Garmadon stepped in
Meanwhile (in season 1)
During the attack of the Great Devourer no one knew of the existence of the ninja
In fact
It was during that attack that they became known, that's when they were seen for the first time through the news
And it wasn't until season 5 that they became famous, had their own toys, and made appearances on TV
Furthermore
The phrase "Ninja Never Quit" was not a public thing until Zane said it at the very end of season 3
Harumi's obsession with Garmadon makes sense, but her hatred of the Ninja, especially Lloyd (who, during season 1, was barely participating in the fight due to still being a child), makes absolutely no sense to me
And that loophole could have been SO easily avoided, if Harumi's backstory had just been about idolizing Garmadon because of what he did, instead of trying to make it personal
It would have been perfect if Harumi's hate towards Lloyd had been just because he purified Garmadon, or because he released Pythor, who released the Great Devourer, who killed her parents
But nooooo
It needed to be complicated
I'm sorry for rambling but it just bothers me so much
I don't really like Harumi, but her backstory is so confusing that i needed to point it out
I need another day of the departed episode but Lloyd just lights a lantern for his dad while staring at resurrected Garmadon
Lloyd: [lights lantern]
Garmadon: Who is that for?
Lloyd, without breaking eye contact: You.
Garmadon: I am not dead. Not anymore, at least.
Lloyd: You are to me.
Ninjago AU where everything is the same but Garmadon wasn't purified after the Final Battle.
He's a danger to us all now :(
...... I come home. without a snake. and with three bites
I don't think they were bites of appreciation :( bye noodle noodle. leaving you in the woods. Going to treat this stuff now
Au with a surprising lack of morro:
Garmadon comes back all evil in season 9 like he does in cannon, ready to destroy and take over the world with no memories of his past life... until he sees Lloyd. He dosent remember him in the slightest but he sees this lil oni pup being so angry and calling him dad and oh boy his instincts kick in. Anyway point of the story is Garmadon adopts his son despite having no idea who he is and while Lloyd is sad his dad has no memories at least he still has his dad (even if he is trying to teach him how to kill and destroy)
THIS IS SO WHOLESOME I'M GONNA START CRYING WTH — THANK YOU FOR THE TAG @l0on ♥️.
I haven't updated my fics in MONTHS. Three, fucking, MONTHS. The fact you even thought of me after I, in a way, basically disappeared from the fanfic world is just...is just... i'm sobbing 😭 <3 . Thank youuu.
@tolazyforaname16 you've been showing up a lot in my ask box— along with anonymous to always give me something new to add to this 1 a.m au my brain randomly decided to start. Thank you both so much for keeping the lloyd's hellspawn au alive. it's really nice to know that there are people who actually like and would gladly encourage my weird thoughts.
@lloydskywalkers reading your fics always bring a big smile on my face and i need you to know that. For heaven's sake, even your ANGST fics make me feel happy. (that doesn't mean you didn't succeed in the angsty writing part though, i'm just someone who enjoys reading about lloyd's pain.) i may NOT have begun writing fanfiction while you were still active and dropping masterpieces, but I'll always come back to your work when i need plastic legos to feel real.
@secretlyharumi you're fucking amazing, don't ever forget that. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. I love your much darker writing style and how much I wish your Crystalized stuff was canon instead. You absolutely deserve to be hired as a writer for this show. Thank you so much for adding to this fandom and giving me good fics to add to my reading list, I love them.
(The rest are gonna be short cuz I don't think I can spend an hour writing 5 paragraphs rn. Please don't take it to heart 😭)
@legogeek33 you're the Ray Mak of Ninjago Tumblr and your AUs are golden.
@theaceofarrows your incorrect quotes live in my head rent free and I can't evict them.
@mrsnaildood i seem to love your art no matter what you post. Your drawing style creates masterpieces.
@emisnt2 your morro art is fuel for the soul. ♥️ The coolest artist I know.
@sunnylighter i am seriously hooked on your The Grass Is Always Greener series— and this is coming from someone who swore she'd never like TLNM! You're a really talented writer.
@squidsquire So many months later, and everytime I listen to Running Up That Hill, all I can think about is your Kai & Lloyd animatic.
@greenflowerceo i never thought I'd be shipping Lloyd with Brad, but here I am, and that's your fault. Not complaining though. 🤣
Thanks for showing up in my notes @squib-2006 @kerriloyal @iamgarmadone @waterhemlockbuffalo @soniiie @kingxgarm and so many more! You're all amazing.
I feel like spreading positivity so.
You are one of the coolest people I know, if not THE coolest ever. I may not have known you for long, but it feels like my whole life, and I don't know what I would do without you. If I haven't met you my life would be fundamentally different. You may have changed, but I've changed with you, and I think we've both grown a lot, and for the better.
I love seeing you create stuff! Be it art, writing, headcannons, or something you DIY-ed, I know that any time you make something it's bound to be good. Every project you start is always very exciting, even if you don't finish it! Watching you create is always very fun.
I know you have bad days, we all do. Don't hesitate to talk to me if you need to. I'm always here, I'll always listen, and I'll always do my best to try to understand and help. Know that you'll always be loved and appreciated!
Here's to our friendship growing even more in 2023!
(ps. don't feel pressured to tag anyone back! This is just to let you know that you're loved and appreciated. And if you were planning on tagging someone, but see that they've already been tagged, don't worry! This will be a message from you to them. Tag them!)
I know the Ninjago fandom is pretty small, maybe 500 at most?
I’m going to ask everyone who is an active member of the Ninjago fandom (Not just a side interest, etc.) to PLEASE Reblog this. I want to find out how many people there are.
what if kai got posessed at the start of possession instead of lloyd? what if he was trying to keep morro inside himself to protect lloyd? what if he failed in doing so?
@shadesofvioletvoid , @galaxygermdraws and me are back on our bullcrap dgdjjdd. we thought about this au together (it was mostly kai's idea and then we just expanded on it a little) but i wanted to draw it like really bad. and i hadnt made a full drawing in a while so i thought "well!!" and then i did it. yay. hope i still got it dgdjdjbdsnsh
we had some vague ideas for this au so if you have any questions ask any of us i guess

With his track record and absolutely terrible excuse of signature luck, you would've thought that nothing could surprise him at this point. But in his defence, Lloyd supposes that not ever expecting this warranted an excuse at least. Especially during a time like now.
...all he'd done was gone to sleep. For crying out loud—that was basically it, so how the hell—
Or; Five days after witnessing his brothers' deaths at the hands of the Colossus, Lloyd gets a chance, a chance to go back, live again and fix it all, while in the body of the kid he hates the most.
And surprisingly, it soon turns out that he isn't the only one with such luck. .
Lloyd and Lord G are my coping mechanism. I'm also on FFNet and AO3 And yeah, I can't draw.
