Instead of summoning Garmadon, Harumi summons his power, and becomes the new elemental master of destruction.

GROW A PAIR ! HAVE SOME BALLS!
It's ironic how we use the above to tell someone to have guts and show some courage whereas we use 'pussy' or a 'bitch' which is synonymous to coward or a weakling nowadays.
When biology ( ah biology, the subject which tells us the great difference between men and women) states that a human is only capable of bearing 45 del of pain and during childbirth, a woman with a vagina or a 'pussy' goes through and tolerates around 57 del of pain.
As opposed to the sensitive scrotum or 'balls' which can be damaged by a simple finger flick, let alone if you kick someone in their mighty brave balls and then, well it's not a pretty situation.
So to the men who told me to have some balls and guts,
GROW A DAMN PUSSY AND THEN MAYBE YOU'LL FIND THE RIGHT AUDACITY AND KNOWLEDGE TO SPEAK.

Trying my best to figure out what these guys look like in my head before I go look at the fandom’s generalized designs for the characters.
A friend of my twin got us into the show and a week later we’re at season 8!
I definitely need to tweak Cole’s design a lot- I want him to have a more strongman build & revamp his entire face design. But at the very least I’m happy with getting his hair the way I want!
Kinda hard to see, but Zane’s got little screws for earrings! I honestly didn’t account for how much older the faceplate would make him look, I intended him to look way more boyish.
Rambling about my current HCs of the Ninja’s appearances below:
I’ve been having a bit of an trouble deciding what various flavor of Chinese & Japanese these dudes should be based on. Considering the show is based on a 2010s vague idea of “Asia” and carries traits of both Japanese & Chinese influence, I’m just going to use both. I don’t know what sorta general consensus the fandom has of their appearances bc I have barely interacted with the fandom, so if this violently contrasts with that then yippee I have original thoughts, I guess.
-Kai is Japanese. Kai, being vain and caring more about training than Jay for example, has a more aesthetic build that’s definitely form more than function. Like a natty powerlifter who’s not competing. I’m not sure what height he should be, but if he’s taller his muscle definition would appear smaller so I’ll have to keep that in mind.
- Nya has initially a more functional build- far less muscle definition than her brother. Not outwardly buff and doesn’t have pronounced muscles, but can fairly easily haul a 100lb hunk of metal from a scrap pile to her workbench. But after becoming the water ninja, her new training gives her more pronounced muscle definition. Initially shorter than Kai but grows taller as the show goes on.
- Cole is southern Chinese. He’s got a strongman heavy set build. I envision him as fairly short so his muscles can be a little more pronounced. If you stripped his muscle definition from his ninja training away, I still want him to look like one of assholes who haven’t worked out a day in their lives but still somehow looks jacked.
- Zane is what pops up when you look up “Chinese teen male stock photo” because he needs to look like The Most Generic person ever. No muscle definition at all on this dude. He’s a nindroid & so there’s no need to include muscle decision to show that he’s strong. He’s either average height or slightly on the shorter side bc gravity is a bitch and the taller make a humanoid robot, the more balance becomes a bitch to deal with. So average height or short Zane it is.
- Jay is Uyghur so I can get this dude his reddish-brown hair. Minor muscle definition. His isn’t for aesthetics like Kai, he’d rather do ninja training than do the types of sets & pushing to failure needed to achieve more pronounced muscle definition for aesthetic lifting. Jay needs to be shorter than Nya. He’s definitely taller than Cole but I need him to be just an inch shorter than Nya because that’s funny to me personally.
- Lloyd is Japanese. Solely because Oni come from Japan & I got spoilered that Gargamon is an Oni later. Lloyd is a stringy ass kid at first & has no muscle definition at all. During his Green Ninja training before the Travelers Tea, he’d be trained for efficiency & not for aesthetics with the deadline of him fighting his father possibly being around any corner. After Travelers Tea he likely kept his training to function over aesthetics and would share similar muscular definition to Jay & Nya. And he’s tall. His dad is tall as shit with 4 arms. I want this kid to go through the Worst gangly teen era anyones ever seen and only barely fit his form once he finishes growing.
Additional thoughts:
And as a big comic nerd who owns around 800+ comics (might be more around 1000 now?), hoo boy I have so many thoughts on Lloyd and Jay liking Starfarer. I cannot wait to make a fic that’s just Lloyd and Jay ganging up against Kai over some incredibly wrong take of the comic he absentmindedly said and trapping him in a 3 hour long conversation about frequent mischaracterization and mishandling of the characters in Starfarer & how what Kai said was wrong. I just need a fic of Jay and Lloyd talking to each other about their favorite runs of Starfarer and complaining about a tie-in/crossover comic that’s written particularly bad, or complaining how an author completely misunderstood Fitz Donnegan or complaining over an author change & etc. I just need to make a fic of these boys talking about average comic book fan things.

For the crossover ships- I know you mentioned in that Ninjago fic you wrote a few months ago that you haven’t really kept up the show but with that said maybe Cole x MK? I just think they’d get along, both having a kinda goofy sense of humor (although Cole is more grounded which would help balance MK out). Also with Cole’s bottomless stomach and MK’s culinary background, Freenoodles is vaguely getting a sense of dejavú.
"Hey there."
"Oh, hi!"
"He's here again," Tang noted. Pigsy made a grunting noise from the back of the office, where he sat doing paperwork. Qi Xiaotian's shy laugh drifted into the room, and Tang could hear Pigsy's ear twitch. "It's cute."
By now, Xiaotian knew the guy, Cole, order. He walked into the kitchen, out of sight, but Tang knew by now he would be getting to work on jujube cake, which was always the thing that Cole ordered. Sometimes he ordered noodles or other foods for lunch, but he always got a slice of cake. Handmade by Xiaotian, because...
"It just tastes better when you make it," Tang chuckled. Cole even had the smile that once twisted his own face.
It reminded him of a chef who made noodles and a student who came back every day for a taste of his food and a look at his smile.

Here's a thought: do you think PIXAL could be the Administrator?
Maybe it could be PIXAL's version of Zane's Ice Emperor arc? Like she's stuck in the Realm of Madness for who-knows-how-long and just takes charge.
Coz like, it's not the first time she's been in the managerial role and if she'd found Jay (memory intact or not), she'd want to keep him close, right?
And maybe it takes some time, but thanks to Zane's portal attempts she finally both has a reason to bring him in and keep him in the mail room until she can find the others.

Here’s some tweets from Doc Wyatt’s Twitter, answering a question from a fan about the old storylines of Ninjago and their possible inclusion in dragons rising.
The question was:
“Hi Doc, Could Anything that had Wasted Potential Get Some Light in this New Series of Ninjago.
There was More Questions then Answers in the Shows old Show.
#DragonsRising [insert: a picture of Jay’s birth mother]”
Doc’s response was:
“A fair question. As Asa said, we're trying to make a show that new viewers, or kids watching for the first time, can understand without having to know 14 or 15 seasons of lore to follow the story.
But that said, it's also vital we honor the storytelling history that made Ninjago great. So yes, we'll be picking up some story threads from the classic series (no spoilers about which ones).
But we're going to need to build to them. Ninjago is, and always has been, a story that unfolds over time. The first Ninjago saga took 12 years to tell.
I'm not saying Dragons Rising will go for that long (I have no idea how long it will run) but if you don't see your favorite storyline immediately picked up on June 1st (or in fall 23) don't think it never will be. Ninjago is a world, not a single season”
(My own commentary under the cut)
…so essentially it is very possible that old storylines are going to be picked up, or at least, Ninjago is keeping their options open.
The trailers show that dragons rising is already paying homage to much of ninjago’s worldbuilding, with the inclusions/mentions/cameos of:
The realm of madness from season 1
The cloud kingdom from season 5
Various races (who have now fully integrated into ninjago’s general public) such as the hypnobrai (s1), whack rats (12), geckles and munce (13), merlopians (Seabound) and possibly nindroids
Ghosts from the departed realm have also been seen in the Lego sets
The concept of Elemental masters is acknowledged
All I’m saying is that there are so many more opportunities to touch upon past story beats, since every area of Ninjago is easily accessible now. That means the first realm, the never realm, the cursed realm, the underworld, djinnjago - they’re all revisitable!
And personally I would be willing to wait 12 years if it means the writers can come up with a good way of reintroducing any of the old concepts. I don’t wanna get my hopes up but just think of the possibilities!

Thinking about Movieverse!Morro
Maybe Morro was adopted by Wu when Lloyd was young, so he ended up babysitting Lloyd when Koko was too busy working double shifts. He ends up warming up to Lloyd.
One day, Garmadon burns down Wu's house in the middle of the night, and Wu barely makes it out of the collapsing building trying to help him. And so, wanting no, needing to help somehow, Morro ends up being trained as the Green Ninja. The duo fights together and have each other's back, and for a while, things are good.
However, on the day he was supposed to receive the green ninja gi, Morro almost gets eaten alive by a shark while fighting Garmadon's generals, nearly drowning. Wu has to hear Morro's screams as he's being eaten alive before ripping the shark off him. Afterwards, Morro loses his legs, and fearing a worse incident, Wu benches him indefinitely. Not only that, he enrolls Morro to a faraway college where he won't get hurt in the future when he has to move.
And so, Morro ends up feeling confined in his own body. Needing to train somehow (and help pay the bills), he starts working at the library, simultaneously training his mind, desperately looking for a cure so he can fight again, and prove to Wu he's still very capable of earning his keep. (This is a very toxic mindset btw, not helped by the rumors after his "disappearance" from duty. Wu did NOT mean to make Morro feel this way)
Meanwhile, his pseudo cousin/brother starts making friends at school (he's very happy for him in that regard, poor kid needs some friends he's, not lonely he isn't being replaced) and in a similar vein to Morro, Lloyd really wants to help in some way to stop his father. Wu outright refuses and even bans the subject from coming up again.
Lloyd constantly tries to sneak on missions and almost gets hurt. So resigned, Wu figured that if he was going to stick around anyways he might as well learn some self defense and basic attacks.
When Garmadon tries to burn down his house again, Wu reluctantly starts training ninja again, but in fear of what Morro would feel, he left out telling him anything and swore the ninja team to secrecy.
During research for a ninja mission, Zane realizes that the only place to find any good primary resources was in the Ninjago City Library -where Morro happens to work.
The ninja have no luck trying to navigate the mixed library system (not just organized under by dewy decimal system I'm afraid) Morro overheard their struggles and decided to help them out. They accept his help under the guise of doing a research paper. Still, I imagine, books with the title of "How to Deal with and Defeat evil Villains: A Guide" is very conspicuous. Morro figures out who they are how he's been left in the dark -
abandoned
replaced by someone better
-and confronts Lloyd and co. about it in the back alley of the library.
In the end, he finds himself begrudgingly understanding where they're coming from, the need to do something and they call out a truce. Not wanting be left behind, Morro offers his assistance in exchange for being in the loop.
This isn't exactly the healthiest for him mentally, since similarly to Kai, he's the kind of person who has to take action, to feel in control. But being injured, he becomes a liability on the battlefield, so he's held back and has to sit back and wait. (for his cousin and little group of friends to be injured while he sits on his hands and does nothing)
Morro understands the kid didn't ask nor intentionally tried to replace him, and he's happy for him but-
He's feels a vindictive part of him happy every time Lloyd's hurt
He could be so much better if they'd just let him-
In his final year before college (Ninjago High will teach both middle and high for plot convenience) everything boils over into an explosive argument at school with Morro leaving and moving out in the middle of the night.
He uses his savings to move into his new dorm and ignores his text messages, only saying he won't bother them anymore, since he's at college now.
Wu never moves the house key from under the doormat, just in case Morro wanted to visit or needs something - anything (what has he done)
Lloyd is a mess the kids at school were right about him-how could he drive his own brother away
And the ninja team have mixed feelings
we should've noticed - done better
How could he make Lloyd feel this way
I hope they're okay
We need to give them all some space
Search result for: what should I do I'm confused and sad and mad and
The only (one) time he ever visits is when Garmadon burned down their Wu's home again.
He feels numb, hollow, like a ghost of his former self
In college, Morro roomates with Goultar, who introduces him to his gang of friends Bansha and Soul Archer. They help him out with his living situation since he doesn't want Wu's charity.
He can't go back to Wu like this. no way.
Turns out, they're part of a revolutionary group called the Winds of Change, with the goal of "reshaping Ninjago City as we know it to build a new and better world". Morro thinks they're kinda shady, but chooses not to say anything since his friends (who've done a lot for him, who he trusts) are fervent supporters of the group.
He doesn't want to (can't) be alone
Morro eventually joins the group, and soon, with the help of his friends (and his own merit), rises to the top as 2nd in command. During his time in the group, he's grown more paranoid, snappier, and generally more volatile as he struggles under the weight of balancing schoolwork and attending midnight meetings.
As a final test, the leader of the group, Yang, tasks him and his generals (friends) to steal the realm crystal, an old artifact being on show at the Ninjago city library - where he used to work. The group plans to use the artifact to revive their founder, a woman reverently titled as "The Preeminent" to lead them "into the new age".
Morro's extremely hesitant, even opposing his orders, but his "friends" pressure him into it. "haven't we done so much for you? The old museum curator won't even remember it! Why can't you do just this ONE thing for us?"
And so, using his employee access card (it feels so long ago he was working in these empty halls, he never returned his pass) they break in.
Suddenly, an alarm sounds
Shit! We have to run. They have the ninja on standby here.
What!? You never told me this!
Well duh! The artifact belongs to the Garmadon Family!
Stop! The secret ninja force is - Morro?! Why are you here?
At this point, Morro realizes that he's way in over his head, but it's too late to back out.
In the end, its Lloyd who has to restrains him and turn him in to the cops.
Morro ends up getting a prison sentence, but due to a anonymous word from the Green Ninja is lessened to 2 years.
He refuses any and all visits
In jail, Morro meets Karlof, and they form a tentative friendship. They look out for each other, and despite having some differences, both share a strong sense of determination and stubbornness.
After he gets out of jail, Karlof (who was released first) helps him get back on his feet and offers to let him stay in his apartment. Morro didn't refuse. (He was jus so tired) He knows that Karlof isn't going to ditch him, but when his friends come over he can't hep but fear he's being replaced even tho he was here last.
When Karlof finds out, he looks Morro in the eye and promises that he won't leave him - no matter what.
It's at this point that Morro just breaks - at this point he's just been through so much - from having nothing to a family to a future to being a failure to feeling so so lonely all those pent up emotions just comes out in one big storm. He tells Karlof everything, and I mean everything.
He expects Karlof to drop him - there's no way he would want him around now, but Karlof just gives him a huge hug (it reminds him of home).
Maybe things aren't so bad
Idk where to go from here, but in the end they reconcile with each other and Morro now has a support system (yay!) Karlof's friends welcome him into their group with open arms. I'm still debating wether or not Garmadon will build him a prosthetic (that works like a real arm? Or with limitations he has work around creatively or turn into an advantage?)Will he be a ninja?
Edit: I think maybe at one point the gang members/cult members from the preeminent gang escape and with plans to kidnap Lloyd, fight the ninja. Morro has a choice: to back to them or fight alongside his family. He chooses the latter.
Things aren't perfect, but I'd like to think they're all happy and content together.
Sidenote: I came up with that karlof sideplot on a whim as I was writing this.
Adding one more headcanon - Bansha and Morro bonds over emo makeup and cool music.
Ideas, c&c are welcome and this idea is free to use with credit!
Just if anyone does, please PLEASE send me a link to it cuz I need more morro in my life.

I think safe ships are boring. I well aware that greenstorm, Llorumi, ZanexOverlord whatever that's called,* insert more enemy x hero ships here* are toxic, unsafe, criminal in some cases. But I don't read fanfiction for the slowburn now they live happily ever after endings. At least not between this type of dynamic
Especially if they're actual enemies. I don't want them to be happy together. And grow and learn to love and forgive the atrocities and stuff. That's just delusional.
If I'm reading a hero×villain story im there mostly for the conflict. The wrestling mania of having a crush on the worst person on the planet. Thinking that this person beat me up yesterday but I'm still gonna kiss them. The overall conflict of having to explain to other protagonists why on earth they run back to this very evil person. Figuring it out themselves why they like this person and why they keep doing it.
Safe ships do the same thing. Over and over. Kai x Cole ch1 they're pining, ch2 almost kiss, ch3 actual kiss, Ch4 random event or miscommunication, ch5 IVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU COLE!
Most safe ships have this exact or very similar formula. It's repetitive and so very very very very bland
I suppose the sin is that I like unsafe ships because there is more uncertainty and more to work with and are almost always guaranteed a bad or emotionally complicated ending. And you don't get that energy most of the time with more safe ships like Lava or Techno because to make that conflict with *good* characters, you have to be really ooc to get there. l And no I don't think it's hot to be beaten up or support abusive relationships. But in fanfiction it is fun in way.
it's complicated idk man
I do get where you're coming from. exploring bad relationships is always entertaining. Again, if you're not shipping any of these romantically I don't see a problem. I love me some Lloyd hating himself for still liking harumi one shots.
but like... Zane x Overlord. what even is the... what would...
anyway, maybe step away from the very edge. Try some AUs maybe? That's an easy way to switch up dynamics so that outcomes are a little more uncertain. I've seen some really devastating stuff be done with pixane, and that's like the most pure ship.
But also, yeah, fanfic writers, healthy relationships have real problems sometimes. make it interesting. there's a place for fluff, but get some stakes in there.

Kai and Cole cooking something (it could be dinner, dessert, whatever you want! You choose the relationship between them)
Aw wait this sounds really wholesome, I will gladly write~~
I'm setting this on the Destiny's Bounty, after the events of motm. I hope you enjoy!
...
Kai yawned as he plodded down the dimly lit hallway. It wasn't even that late--last he checked, it was only 11:30--but everyone was still weary from their latest adventure at Shintaro. Currently, they were catching up on sleep. But he was prone to midnight snacking, and he swore he could hear a packet of Chen's ramen noodles calling his name.
He smiled to himself. Not Chen's noodles...Skailor's noodles. It had been a while since he had seen her. He couldn't exactly teleport himself to Ninjago City, but maybe a video call was in order. But to do one tonight or--
A clatter of metal against metal clanged! from the kitchen.
In an instant, Kai was fully awake. His ninja training kicked in, and he shifted his weight to the balls of his feet. He crouched as he started making his way to the kitchen.
It's nothing, he scolded himself. It's probably just one of the others, doing the same thing you were about to do.
Then again, Cole had been telling the truth about the geckle in his bedroom. Anything was possible at this point.
He crept towards the doorway. There was clearly someone in there, what with all the shuffling footsteps. Heavy guy, from the sound of it. That put Kai at a physical disadvantage, but he had the element of surprise and fire.
He grinned and resisted the urge to crack his knuckles. This was going to be fun.
Suddenly there was a thunk, and a hushed "crap!"
Kai frowned. He knew that voice anywhere. He walked into the small kitchen, and lo and behold, the elemental master of earth was...baking?
He cleared his throat. "Cole buddy, what're you doing?"
Cole yelped and shot a freshly formed projectile of earth at him. Kai's eyes widened and he dropped to the ground. The earth splatted against the wall.
Kai stood, glanced at the now stained wall, and looked at Cole. "I'm not cleaning that up."
"Geez, Kai!" Cole sighed and leaned against the counter. "Give a guy a little warning next time, huh?"
"I did though?" Kai sauntered over to Cole, hands in his pajama pockets (their gis still didn't have any). His gaze roamed over the kitchen counter. Like all the other times Cole had dabbled in cooking, it was a complete mess. Broken eggs littered the countertop, and flour coated every surface in sight.
Kai picked up a box and raised an eyebrow. "How does someone make this much of a mess for boxed cake?"
Cole snatched the box away from him, cheeks reddening. "You know my culinary skills are...less than stellar! Besides, I hardly bake. It's a whole other realm."
"There's three instructions."
"Shut up."
Kai stopped arguing then. It was one thing for Cole to be eating cake in the middle of the night--it was another for him to be baking it himself. Something was up.
"Hey," he said gently, "is everything okay?"
"I just felt like eating cake, okay?! I..." Cole trailed off at Kai's unimpressed expression. "Fine."
He leaned against the counter and sighed. "Before Shintaro, I never really thought about my mother. Not because I didn't want to, but because...it was just too painful to. I've gotten better about remembering her over the years--my dad too--but Shintaro showed me she was so much more than I thought she was."
He absentmindedly touched his pale green scar. "It was only because of her that I was able to defeat Vangelis. And I realized...I want to know more about her. I want to remember her more. Vanilla cake was her favorite so I thought...I don't know, that enjoying it would make me feel closer to her or whatever..." he mumbled.
Kai's heart twisted. His parental situation was so different from Cole's, but so very similar too.
He touched Cole's arm, making him look up. "Cole, I think that's really nice, what you're trying to do. When I was younger, I would cook the dishes I remember my parents liking in order to feel closer to them."
"And--and did it work?" he asked hopefully.
He smiled. "Yeah, it did." He rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas and started rummaging through the drawers for a whisk. "Now come on. I'll help you."
"You will?"
"I can't let you destroy the kitchen, now can I?" Kai said with a grin. "Come on. Even Jay can do this."
Cole laughed and picked up the sugar. "If I can't raise that bar, then there is truly no hope for me."
So they started, whispered conversation filling the kitchen as they worked. Cole spilled everything he touched, and somehow Kai burned flour, but neither ninja really cared. Because they were making something together.
Something for Lilly.

befalling. | lloyd g.
[Lloyd, and his thoughts on being captured by Harumi. Again.]
A/N: mhm, mhm, we're tryna catch up on summer of whump, also this book has hit 30 chapters~ yay!!! milestone!!
• • •
Lloyd wakes up for a cage for the fifth time, head spinning with confusion and anger and hurt.
The fifth time, he thinks dully, and reaches up automatically, hands hitting the cold ceiling of metal around him.
His shoulder twinges with pain, and and he claps a hand to his mouth, muffling a whine of pain. It's only then he notices the blood pooling around his shoulder, leaking in a small pool of crimson, and suddenly wishes a whole lot more he'd paid attention to Zane's first aid classes.
He presses a hand to the wound cautiously, a wince escaping as he does, and pulls out a bright dart, coated in a layer of thick blood.
"You're up!" A bright exclamation rings out behind him, and Lloyd falls back against the bars with a loud sigh. He knows that voice, has heard it a few too many times, both in real life and in his nightmares.
Harumi.
"Acute observation, really," he remarks as casually as he can, and watches her walk over from the doorway, steps light.
She raises a eyebrow, face painted with a malicious smile. "Has the green ninja found some guts? Not holding that little crush on my anymore?" There words are condescending; humorous even, but her tone slices into him like razors.
"Long gone." he says, trying to hold his voice steady.
The last time he heard her speak like that, he was about to drown in a cave, die in dragging dark waters. He wonders what's coming for him now.
"I wouldn't sass too much though." She smiles at him, sweet as honey, and it's the most terrifying thing Lloyd's seen in a while. Considering he's been in a room of his greatest enemies, too.
"You're gonna be stuck in this cage for a long while, and even though it probably won't take to much to get your little ninja friends running-" She pauses, and looks out the doorway. "You've pissed off a few people here."
"What makes you think they'll come for me?" Lloyd retorts, swallowing down a dry stutter of fear, because he knows that's exactly what they're gonna do. Rush into the hideout the instant the find it, all fight and no plan.
"What if I break out?" He forces a small smile, one that he hopes looks braver than he feels right now.
"You were always a dreamer." She gives a short laugh, and silver flashes between her fingers, a small blade dancing between her hands.
"You don't know anything about me." He says, voice hard and sharp. She doesn't. She doesn't know how much he's trained and cried and fought to get to this point, and she'll never get it.
"You're our hostage, Lloyd. Don't think too much about breaking out. You're alone, and beating even one of the villains here took all six of you guys." She tucks the glinting knife back away into her shoulder strap, and leans against the bars, fingers trailing lightly across the vengestone.
"For once, you're not going to be the hero you've always pretended to be."
There's a long silence, and Lloyd feels unwelcome tears pricking at his eyes, dangerously close to falling.
Hostage.
Hostage means helpless and useless and defenseless, against every danger he's up against. Hostage means he can't fight, can't help the others defeat everything they need too, means he's alone.
He hates it.
He hates it so much, and he can't do anything to stop it.
"Why can't you just let me go?" He stutters, voice breaking, and Harumi says nothing, just another small smile before she turns her back to him, striding across to the entrance.
"Please?" He begs quietly, just one last time, and the word is cut up with a sob he can't stop.
There's no response. Harumi walks out the door without a sound, and the metal slams behind her heavily, slamming the answer into his heart.
Everything hurts, and he just wants to go home.
His tears falls to the ground like broken glass on the floor, and he hates it.

Can we get a snippet or something about Lloyd X MK, please?
Lloyd had no idea why he even agreed to this.
He had more important things to do than go on a blind date of all things. Forces were moving and Lloyd had to make sure Arin and Sora and the others were ready.
But Arin and Sora had been so insistent...
"He's a hero like you in his home realm!"
"He's really cool! I've seen all the videos about his work!"
So here Lloyd was, sitting in a restaurant in a kimono Arin had wrangled from somewhere, waiting for his blind date, who was late. He cast a look around, unable to resist admiring the fancy chandelier in the center of the room. At least the restaurant was nice. Even if his blind date didn't show up, he could get a nice meal-
"Sorry I'm late! Lloyd Garmadon, right?"
Lloyd looked up, meeting the warm amber eyes of a... monkey. A surprisingly cute monkey, wearing a sunflower yellow hanfu and one red staff earring, smiled at him. "Sorry, traffic was nuts," the monkey said, sitting down across from him. "Qi Xiaotian, nice to meet you."
Huh.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
"Lloyd Garmadon...it's lovely to meet you as well."

If you're still taking requests for Ninjago whump, could I ask for some Lloyd angst with the prompt:
“This is going to hurt, so you just focus on taking deep breaths, ok? I’ll handle everything else, you just breathe.”?
hush (they said the end is near)
But all he could do, despite how much his face hurt, was blink his eyes open to try and grasp some sort of idea of what was happening in the chaos of his own mistake.
Takes place after the episode True Potential
“-oyd, Lloyd, can you hear m-!”
“-hat are we gonna do?”
“-needs to be in a hospital.”
Lloyd’s head throbbed with an extreme ferocity as he slowly regained himself, but it wasn’t just his head; it seemed like as the seconds passed, so did his pain tolerance. Every single bone, muscle and joint pounded with the feeling of having been bruised.
The worst part though, was his heart which he could have sworn that he felt breaking as he recalled the events that had led up to now and the battle in the prison.
“I have no son.”
The taste the words had, the bitterness with no sign of his father in them, made Lloyd want to throw up to expel them from his mind and forget about the fight so he could continue to live in denial that maybe, just maybe, his father was alive inside of that thing.
But all he could do, despite how much his face hurt, was blink his eyes open to try and grasp some sort of idea of what was happening in the chaos of his own mistake.
“Hey, hey guys! His eyes are open!” The voice was loud enough to make his ears ring slightly, but it was comforting all the same because he knew the voice all too well and knew that it was Kai who was right by his side.
The comfort was quickly replaced by guilt from locking all of them out while trying to fulfill his mission, going so far as breaking his radio so they couldn’t talk him out of saving his father. In hindsight, he knew that he was wrong and he should have waited for them to help him figure out a plan.
But when he tried to speak, to apologize, his tongue felt heavy and a stabbing pain flooded his chest with a fiery intensity that nearly caused him to black out with a pitiful squeak escaping his lips as his eyes filled with tears.
“Hey, hey, save your strength, Lloyd.” Cole’s voice cut in through the blinding pain, followed by Kai’s.
“Yeah, don’t try to talk. Just let us take care of you.”
He managed to nod in response as the pain diminished in strength slowly. Despite just how chaotic everything around him was, however, he could feel himself drifting back into unconsciousness.
“Lloyd?” A muffled voice asked, but everything was starting to hurt again and the darkness was almost comforting to him, knowing that it meant that he didn’t have to focus on what was going on around him.
“Lloyd?!” The voice was louder and the panic was evident around him, but he just couldn’t stay awake any more with how overwhelming the dark was.
‘Just gonna close my eyes…’
