I don’t know how to convey how soul crushingly hopeless the message of “endure” was without turning into a beast on main but like. Yeah. /POS
Especially bc Lloyd is such a girlhood metaphor and it was just him and pixal and nya. The tragedy of their grief is only made so much worse by the fact they have to just wait for something to happen to them. Does that make sense. Am I crazy.

hiiii i'm still obsessed with my matchup :)) could i request a head canon about the ninja + pixal cuddling their s/o / the reader pretty pls?
Yes ofc!! Good to see you again, friend! :D
Ninjago - Cuddling With The Ninjas (+ Pixal)
Jay
He’s a total cuddle bug
Whether you’re watching a movie or drifting off to sleep, he loves having you close
He actually sort of needs it too; it helps him relax, and lord knows this man needs to relax
It’s both the comfort of having you close and the sensation of physical contact that calms him down
He’ll usually be the one to come to you
If you’re just chilling, he likes to lean against you, his head on your chest or stomach while his arms wrap around your waist
He will melt if you play with his hair
He even requests you to do so sometimes
Sometimes he’ll vent while you cuddle, taking full advantage of the opportunity to unwind by blowing off some steam
He won’t get too riled up though
If you’re going to sleep, he prefers to be the little spoon
Or he’ll cling to your side like a koala, burying his face in your clothes
When that happens you’re trapped until morning, sorry
Maybe even a little longer, depending on how motivated he is to get up
You might hear him muttering things into your side
If you listen closely, you’ll hear your name and “I love you” / “you’re beautiful” / “I’m so lucky” / etc
Cole
He’s another major cuddler
It’s mostly when you’re relaxing that he likes to cuddle, though
He’s not too picky when it comes to positions
It kind of depends on who initiates the cuddles
If it’s him, he’ll grab you and pull you over to him effortlessly, trapping you in his lap or against his chest
If it’s you, he’s good with whatever you find comfortable :)
He likes to fiddle with your hair or hands while you cuddle
He presses chaste kisses on your knuckles and makes little braids in your hair (even if it’s super short)
He likes having you close when relaxing; it means he gets to share the moment with you as intimately as possible
Plus he likes holding you against him
It’s a little like a stress ball
On that note, he loves having you on top of him when he sleeps
Not just your head—no, your entire body
You’re like a human anxiety blanket
It’s certainly not unpleasant for you; Cole is as soft as a mattress when he relaxes, and much warmer
He’ll wrap his muscular arms around you, warming you up even more
He lays just like that, still as a rock until morning
Kai
He does like to cuddle, but not very often
He’ll be a little awkward if you try to initiate cuddles and he’s not feeling it, but he’ll indulge you anyway
He’ll just drape and arm around you and lean his head on yours
But if he actually wants cuddles, it’s usually late at night, in the privacy of your own room
He generally doesn’t mind PDA, but he reserves cuddles for private moments
It’s his chance to show you his softer side, not worrying about being tough or responsible or anything
Your bodies fit together like puzzle pieces as you melt into each other’s touch
He usually doesn’t go for a specific position, he just goes with whatever feels right
He prefers to just lay there, rubbing each other’s backs
He only likes his hair to be played with if it’s already been washed for the night
He’s very particular about his hair
He doesn’t have a problem playing with yours, though
And he’s very gentle about it; he is a bit of a hair expert
Eventually you’ll drift off to sleep
You’ll wake up in a completely new position, but rest assured you’ll still be tangled together
Zane
He doesn’t really feel the need to cuddle
But you introduce him to it, finding calm moments to curl up together
You have to guide his limbs the first few times, but he catches on quickly
And he finds himself enjoying these moments
After a while, it becomes a ritual for him
Whenever you’re alone, or just relaxing, he reaches over and takes your hand, looking at you pleadingly
That’s his way of asking for cuddles
You’ll smile and wrap your arms around him, allowing him to situate himself as he pleases
He usually just reclines a little and puts his hands on the small of your back or your hips
He’s pretty stiff, but he’s comfortable, trust me
And he can adjust his body temperature to whatever temperature you ask
So you guys can cuddle in the middle of the summer, no problem
If you look up you’ll see him smiling, and that smile will only grow when he meets your gaze
He doesn’t like to cuddle when sleeping though
Partly because he knows it’s not very comfortable for you
But if you insist hard enough, he’ll consent to holding hands or letting you rest your head against his shoulder
Lloyd
Cuddles are pretty common with him
He just sees it as a comfortable way to relax with someone he loves, so he’s almost always cuddling you
If you’re in a more “public” space like the couch, he prefers casual positions like tangling your legs together or leaning against each other
He likes to squeeze your hand while you do this
Or play with your fingers, depending on how he's feeling
When you’re alone, your cuddles get more intimate
He likes to bury his face in you, whether that be your belly, chest, side, back, etc
He doesn’t really have a preference between holding you and being held
His breathing slows and his grip will slowly relax around you
Eventually he falls asleep; he just gets so comfortable
Sometimes he won’t bury his face though, and he’ll talk to you instead
It’s an intimate moment, so he takes advantage of it to tell you things
Doubts, secrets, worries, it’s all on the table
When he’s finished he’ll listen to what you have to say in turn
Then he’ll smile and bury his face in you, drifting off to sleep like usual
Nya
She's pretty ambiguous when it comes to cuddling
She doesn't like to cuddle excessively, but she can still accommodate you if you're a big cuddler
Sometimes she likes to hold you, sometimes she likes to be held
It just depends on her mood
Cuddles are a display of affection for her, both in the giving and receiving sense
That's why she switches between holding/being held
She has no problem asking for cuddles when she's in the mood
She'll literally grab your arms and wrap them around herself while she cozies up to you
Or she'll wrap an arm around you, pulling you against her and letting you adjust yourself
Kind of like Kai, she's not a huge fan of getting her hair played with, but she'll gladly play with your hair
She'll do little styles then undo them, combing her fingers through your hair to smooth it out again
When you're sleeping, she likes to spoon
She'll swap between big and little spoon; though she's slightly more inclined to be the little spoon
When she is the little spoon, she'll wrap her hands around yours, holding them gently against herself
That way you can feel her heartbeat :)
Pixal
She's the least receptive to cuddling out of the bunch
Even when you show her how, she doesn't get it
What she does understand is that it seems to make you happy though
And she's more than willing to do anything that makes you happy
So sometimes she'll try to be the one to initiate it, particularly when she sees that you're unhappy
You'll have to do the initiating most of the time though
Her efforts are stiff and unnatural at first, but they improve with time
She learns what you like and adapts accordingly
She doesn't like the actual cuddles so much as she likes seeing you all relaxed, a languid smile curving your lips
She'll try to make idle conversation with you while you cuddle
She finds the silence awkward
(Yet another reason she doesn't understand cuddling)
But she'll understand if you're just tired and you want to relax/sleep
She takes it as a compliment that you can fall asleep with her, despite her not fully grasping the whole "cuddling" concept
So in a way it is pretty fulfilling for her, just not in the way you'd expect
Tumblr media
Thank you for this request!! And thanks for reading, take care lovelies! <33

I finally finished up my height and body headcanons for the cast!
Details beneath the cut!
Jay
- Narrow face. Has a sort of movie star look to him. The most conventionally attractive out of all the ninja. Short and a little boxy-looking. Slightly muscled shoulders (he’s an inventor) but otherwise stronger than he looks.
- Lots of freckles and fulguration scars. His body regularly conducts lightning through it and it shows. The smaller ones fade with time and return when he uses his powers.
Nya
- Square face and strong features, very grumpy resting expression. Moles on her cheek and the corner of her mouth and a couple on her neck. Dragon tattoo on her arm.
- Strong biceps and and thighs (she’s been an inventor, mechanic, samurai, and now a ninja). She can easily bench press a few of her teammates and her punches hit like a semi truck. She has swirling marks as well as fangs from her time merged as the ocean and a scar on her left side from fighting Dogshank (her body remembers the events of Skybound, even if nobody else—except for Jay—does.)
Lloyd
- Classic hero look: soft features, seems very approachable, most of his opponents don’t think he’s capable of great anger because of this. (They’re wrong). Puts effort into his appearance because he has strong feelings about what he thinks a hero should look like. He relaxes a little after the Merge and lets some of his less human traits become visible, such as his fangs and pointed ears. Unrecognizable outside of gi—literally looks like an average guy.
- He has a somewhat stocky, jock-like build. Has several visible scars and stretch marks but the most prominent are the claw marks on his shoulders from fighting his dad. Top surgery scars too (he is trans to me).
Kai
- Physically resembles his father quite a bit, has similar sharp features. Very handsome. Has a lot of very thick, coarse hair, so he uses a lot of hair jel for it. Has a scar over his right eye that he got while fighting a Serpentine.
- Jacked, very strong arms, biceps, and shoulders. Calloused hands from working the blacksmith forge. Same dragon tattoo as Nya on his left arm that he originally got to commemorate her sacrifice in Seabound. Top surgery scars (he is also trans to me)
Cole
- Has a soft, gentle-looking face. Probably the most relaxed out of everyone on the team. A couple moles on his nose.
- Tied with Zane for tallest height. Used to look very slender in s1/2 but has since put on a lot of weight. Large build with lots of functional muscle. Big arms, legs, hands, and feet. Big chest. You get the picture. Lots of body hair all over. Nearly invisible scar on his face from his time as a ghost.
Zane
- Tied with Cole for the tallest. Was originally shorter but was rebuilt taller after s3. Slender build with a strong, flexible core. Dr. Julien designed him to be light and fast to contrast the Juggernaut, which is slow yet tough. Can still tank a freight train. Powerful. Built to protect.
- Very human-looking despite his android body. (Dr. Julien was a damned genius) similar wiring to Pixal on his chest but with snowflakes instead of dots. Heart/core is comprised of chronosteel as given to him by the previous Master of Ice.
Pixal
- The shortest. Petite. Borg built her to look soft and amicable since she worked as an assistant at his company. Visible wiring since she is overflowing with every mechanism thought possible to make her as fully functional as a human being and more.
- Has an alternative Battle Mode body that is bigger than even Zane. She re-made the Samurai X persona to seem big, quiet, and terrifying to fight. She succeeded.

I need a fic with the ninja being invited to a fancy party, by their host, cyrus borg. And while the other ninja are meeting the important people of the city, the white ninja is rather distracted by Borgs daughter. Pixal in a nice shiny silk dress, silver to match her hair and zane is SMITTEN. He spends the night trying to win her over, researching the most loved male romance characters and heartthrobs and imitating them ; Westley, mark ruffalo, jack dawson, mr. Darcy, laurie, james dean,Heath ledger, danny zuko, paul rudd, james bond, tom hanks, william thacker, kevin bacon, patrick swayze, rob lowe so on and so on. She thinks hes cute for trying so hard and fumbling. He pretty much short-circuits when she greets him

I'm sure everyone's getting tired of me talking about my fic "Find Something Waiting", but I wanted to share some art I'd made for it!
Long story short, Pixal has become the new master of ice in the aftermath of Zane's apparent death. Naturally everyone has mixed feelings about this development, especially Pixal herself.
She has reluctantly agreed to try becoming a ninja on a temporary trial basis, with Wu promising to her that she can quit at any moment if she decides this isn't for her. And Nya has been trying to help her figure out what's holding her back so she can unlock her True Potential, but Pixal isn't even entirely sure she wants to.
As you can guess, the drawings below depict her in her new ninja uniform (with her hair having been cut due to…uh, reasons).
As the story progresses and the team realizes Zane is actually alive, one question becomes apparent: if he's still alive, then how - and why - has Pixal inherited his power?

My Ninjago headcannons
warnings: brief alcoholism?, other than that nothing
Kai started drinking after Zane died in season 3, going to Chens Island in ssn 4 was like going to rehab
Nya and Kai are hispanic and fluent in spanish
Kai starts speaking Spanish when he's really mad or stressed
Nya starts speaking Spanish when she's really exited or mad
Zane and Pixal are the only ones who understand all of what they're saying bc Spanish is in their programming
Jay understands a little of it since he spends so much time with Nya while she's tinkering
When Nya's tinkering she gets easily exited when something works, and easily mad when something fails
Lloyd is the shortest in the group, sitting at 5'5
no one knows why he's so short bc Misako is 5'11 and Garmadon in his human form is roughly 6'0
Wu's also pretty tall, but he's shorter than Garmadon by an inch or so
Jay is 5'8
Nya and Kai are both 5'10
Pixal is 6'0
Zane was 5'7 until Pixal rebuilt him, now he's like 6'2
Cole was 5'9 in the first season but had a growspurt between the first and second season, now he's 6'3
Kai hates that Cole is taller than him
Cole is black and has snake bite piercings
Lloyd dyes his hair a different color every couple months
Lloyd does a graffiti piece in every city he goes to
I feel like his tag name(moniker) is Neon Dragon or Neon Echo
When he was deciding his moniker, he felt it HAD to have neon in it somewhere bc he uses neon colors is all of his works
People have their theories that Neon Dragon/Echo is the Green Ninja because in every city he goes to theirs a new piece by Neon Dragon/Echo
Lloyd is also really good at sewing and he customizes most, if not all, of his clothes
He also thrifts most of his clothes because he didn't have a lot of money growing up
Kai has the best style in the group
(he also has a tiktok account that he posts his fits on)
I feel like his style is mostly Skater, but he kinda wears a bit of everything
That's all for now😋😋

Whumptober 2023 Day 14 - Water Inhalation
AND WE'VE MADE IT TO SEABOUND ANGST MY FAVORITE MEAL! I am in LOVE with this one I think it turned out so good and I'm so proud of it. Might be my favorite one!
@splinnters second to last one but I think you'll LOVE this one!
Words: 2.2k
Nya winced as he started coughing again, the sound echoing off of the thin gray walls and reverberating. She rubbed his chest soothingly, shushing him, doing her best to help the coughs taper off. Looking up to his mouth, she was hoping that even a little of the water in his lungs would be expelled, but she was only disappointed to see yet another thin string of saliva clinging to his chin instead.
She wiped at it with a napkin, disposing of it in the trash can they had placed next to the couch. It was almost full of napkins that had been used for the same purpose, and Nya’s foot nudged it as she leaned forward to press a light kiss to her Yin’s exposed collarbone. He let out a high whine, struggling against the grip she had on his wrists until she rubbed the thin skin with her thumbs.
“There we go,” she murmured against his skin once Jay finally quieted down, “there we go. You’re okay, honey, I’m right here. You just need to keep resting.”
With a strangled wheeze, Jay tried to say her name. “Nya?”
“I’m here, love,” she pulled the one blanket they had farther up his chest, tucking it around his sides and under the cushions. “Just try and go back to sleep, okay?”
First Master, there had to be something else she could do. Anything.
Jay leaned into her touch when she went to cup his cheek, thumb stroking the eyebags sunked into his skin. It had been so long since he had gotten some good sleep.
The others filed back into the room with gloomy expressions, and Nya already knew that they were bearing bad news from the way they avoided looking at her. Cole made his way to the couch, plopping himself down at Jay’s head and replacing the blue ninja’s pillow with his leg. Nya’s heart squeezed as she watched the earth ninja card his fingers through Jay’s hair to get him to sleep, Cole’s face pinching in worry. Jay relaxed into his brother’s touch, short hums getting caught in his throat as Cole scratched over his scalp. It would be such a peaceful scene if it weren’t so horrid outside.
Looking out of the room’s windows only to stare into a fabricated ocean made Nya’s head swim with anxiety, and she quickly looked away.
“We cannot make it out through the sewers,” Pixal reported, coming to stand next to Nya and lay a gentle hand on her shoulder. Her tone was professional, but Nya knew the samurai well enough to recognize the worry in her undertones. “They are completely flooded, and the combat craft are not small enough to fit in the tunnels. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, Pix,” Nya said, even though she could feel the tears stinging at her eyes. “We’ll just have to think of something else. It’s not the end of the world.”
But it might signal the end of hers.
Kai ran a hand through his hair, messy and unkempt. “We’ve searched this building from top to bottom, Nya. If there was anything we would’ve found it by now. There’s no medicine, there’s no exit, there’s nothing.”
“Can we use the oxygen tanks from the crafts?” Lloyd asked. “Maybe if we get one and try to make a mask-”
“That wouldn’t help him,” Zane said heavily, the words settling over the rest of the room like lead, “oxygen can only do so much. We need to get the water out of his lungs.”
And Nya felt the guilt and the shame crash into her like a tidal wave; she was the master of water, and she couldn’t even save the ones that she loved from drowning in their sleep.
Suddenly, Jay was trying to push himself up on his elbows, back to hacking his lungs out. The sound was harsh and grating against Nya’s ears, and it was one that she had heard entirely too much in the past few hours. Cole quickly pushed him up, thumping the palm of his hand against the blue ninja’s back as Nya held Jay up by the shoulders. Normally they only lasted a minute or two, and then Jay would slump over onto whoever was holding him, exhausted.
Except it wasn’t stopping.
They kept getting louder and louder, and Nya hugged him close to rub his back and try to help however she could. But something was wrong. She could feel his lungs spasming rapidly, and hear him choking as he tried to take in air, gasping.
He couldn’t breathe.
Jay couldn’t breathe.
“Shit!” she exclaimed, starting to whack against the back of his ribs to try and help him. Jay was still coughing, the sound loud and wet next to her ear as his hands clutched at her gi in teror, and Nya could feel him start to tremble. “He needs help!”
“We will get the oxygen tank,” Pixel said, grabbing Zane’s arm and pulling him out of the room. Cole scrambled to grab the bucket they had left on the other side of the room, settling behind Nya. She flinched when she heard Jay start to gag; Cole must’ve stuck his fingers in his mouth and triggered his gag reflex. It wasn’t long before her Yin was vomiting into the bucket, expelling anything that he could except for the water in his lungs. Even a glob of thick blood made a splat in the bottom of the bucket, and Nya started kissing as much of his skin as she could reach as tears soaked into the fabric of her gi.
He sobbed, shaking, and she held him fast. “I know, dear, I know. I know it hurts, and I know you’re hurting, but It’s going to be okay, I promise. It’s going to be okay, Jay. You’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay-”
And she repeated it like a mantra, through some of the water finally being coughed up and through Jay’s thick sobs as his chest heaved for air. He was whispering, begging for it to stop, and Nya’s heart broke in two. Kai had sat behind his back, pressing his warm hands to Jay’s shoulder blades in an effort to stop his shaking and reassure the blue ninja, but Nya could tell that it wasn’t working. Lloyd was next to her, pressing a kiss to her temple and putting his hands on top of hers. He was using his power, doing his best to push the energy through to Jay.
Finally, Wu gently pushed Kai away, replacing the fire ninja’s hands with his own. “Son,” he said quietly, and they all watched in awe as their master used his powers, his hands glowing with golden power, “you have to breathe for me, for us. I know it’s hard, but I believe in you, and I know you’re strong enough. In and then out, can you do that for me?”
Jay nodded, and Nya’s hand went to cup the back of his head, tangling her fingers in his hair and tugging gently to soothe him.
“Good,” Wu said firmly, moving his hands up and down. Gold swirls followed his hands, and to her amazement Jay actually did start to breathe more easily. He pressed a knuckle to Jay’s spine, running over each of the ridges. “You’re doing amazing, Jay. Keep going, we are here with you.”
Minutes passed, and the experience was absolutely agonizing. Nya held him the entire time, whispering reassurances and sweet nothings into his ear as he hacked up anything he could manage, eventually starting to breathe in large harsh wheezes that had her heart aching. Cole took away the bucket and put it back on the floor, instead cupping her Yin’s face and speaking to him softly the same way Nya was doing. Wu removed his hands after seeing that his power had done all that it could, stepping back and letting Kai rub Jay’s shoulders.
Zane and Pixal were back with the repurposed oxygen tank, a hastily made mask in her hands, but that solution was very quickly shot down when Jay shoved it away. He was barely conscious, but he was still aware enough to tell that someone was trying to put something on his face; Nya hated that his first instinct was that he was being gagged. Zane did his best to coax his brother to wear the mask, telling him that it would help, but Jay was having none of it.
“He doesn’t like things over his mouth,” Nya explained softly after glancing at Zane's hurt expression, “it’s nothing personal, I promise. Maybe try making it a cannula instead?”
Pixal started work on it right away. Nya didn’t let herself relax until the wheezes finally tapered off, and even though Jay still couldn’t take a full breath it was deeper than anything she had heard for the past fifteen minutes. The relief in the room was palpable, and she had vague thoughts about how she needed to make the atmosphere at least a little happier. She traced a finger around the shell of his ear, hoping to see him shy away and giggle from the touch, and to her relief he scrunched up his shoulder in response.
“That’s all it takes, huh?” she teased, reaching up and doing the same thing to his other ear. Jay was quick to block her access again, but she just kept alternating until he let out a few raspy giggles. “You make it too easy.”
“Nya,” he whined in protest, and the sound of his wrecked and ruined voice was music to her ears. She relented, instead bringing her hands down to start working at undoing his belt. Jay needed to get out of his wet gi if they didn’t want him to get sick.
Kai caught on and helped to get the gi off, balling it up and throwing it in the corner of the room. He hugged the both of them, his arms coming to rest around Nya’s waist with Jay sandwiched in the middle, using his powers to raise his body temperature and soothe both of them. Cole had gotten up to push one of the other couches to the edge of the first one to make more seating, and he snatched Lloyd up in a bear hug that the green ninja only protested once while throwing his legs into Jay’s lap. Zane looked unsure of where to place himself, but eventually settled for sitting behind Nya, his naturally cold temperature working to balance out Kai’s body heat.
Taking one look at the mangled mask and at the cuddle pile, Pixal left it on the ground, instead stripping off her armor and plopping down next to Nya. She laid her head on the water ninja’s other shoulder, feeling Zane’s arm wrap itself around her waist and hold her close.
“What’s going on?” Jay murmured into Nya’s shoulder. “Are we having a cuddle party?”
“Yup, and it’s all for you, Sparky.” Kai said, kissing the top of his brother’s head.
“Can I go to sleep?”
“It would be most beneficial if you did go back to sleep,” Zane said, “because you need your rest. We will figure out what to do.”
Jay coughed again, and Nya clenched her fists, afraid that it would break out into a full coughing fit again. Thankfully, it was just the one. “Can I lay down?”
“After you stay up for a bit,” Cole said sympathetically. “We can’t let the water sit in one place for too long if we want to keep you from getting pneumonia.”
“Stupid pneumonia,” Jay muttered, and it was so Jay that Nya had to chuckle in response. Leave it to her Yin to insult a potentially debilitating illness that they currently had no way of treating and saving him from.
“Pnuemonia is actually quite a serious condition, Jay. If left untreated it could very well-”
Nya felt her heart stutter much like Jay’s normally did, and of course Jay was quick to notice. “I know what it is, Pixal, now stop talking about it. You’re stressing Nya out.”
“I think I’m less stressed about pneumonia and more about the fact that you can’t breathe properly,” Nya snipped, but she immediately wilted. That wasn’t what a good Yang would say.
Yet, Jay didn’t seem to take it personally, instead tracing the skin of her lower back through a cut in her gi. He didn’t say anything, letting the silence settle over the room and pressing a kiss to the crook of Nya’s neck. Nya rucked up his white undershirt, taking off her gloves and placing her bare hands on his skin. She felt his element react instantly, the small electric current flowing through her and making her nerve-endings tingle. There were so many scars across his back, too many to count, but she made sure to trace all of them as meticulously as she could.
It wasn’t long before soft snores filled the air; Jay had finally fallen back asleep against her shoulder, his full weight leaning on top of her and both of them being supported by Zane.. And that was when Nya finally allowed herself to break down and cry.

cuddling
" Jay and Nya have a rare free day. They spend the morning together in bed. "
relationships: jay/nya tws: none wc: 595 extra: tooth rotting fluff yum....
read on ao3!
The room was warm. The lights were off, and the curtains were opened just enough to let a few rays of sun shine through. It heated up every surface it touched, and illuminated the room dimly. 
Kai and Cole were on patrol duty today, which meant the others had a rare opportunity to stay home. Lloyd was in the kitchen, most likely cooking something for himself, and as for Zane and Pixal, they had mentioned something about training together, practicing their joint combat. 
That left Nya and Jay here, in bed together, their limbs entangled and with the covers half covering them. 
They had been awake for a while now - it was hard to get out of the usual habit of waking up at ungodly hours -, but had stayed in bed, preferring to bask in each other’s company in silence. 
The others would probably make comments if they knew Jay had spent the night in her room, Nya mused. The thought made her chuckle, her eyes staring into the ceiling as she kept thinking. 
Her trail of thought was cut short when she felt Jay shift, his lips pressing against her neck as he nuzzled her shoulder. She instinctively moved her head a little further, glancing at him. 
They exchanged a few looks, a silent conversation taking place, before Jay resumed with his kisses, slow and sweet, trailing them all over her neck. 
Nya let out a sigh, playfully rolling her eyes. Her hand moved to tangle in his hair, gently scratching the back of his head as a means to reciprocate. 
This went on for a little while. Jay occasionally moved to press kisses on another close area, and Nya would respond with her own affectionate touches. 
He laid on top of her by now, his arms wrapped around her waist and pressing to always be closer to her. Nya enjoyed the feeling, the sweet affection they couldn’t afford to indulge in often. 
Most days, they barely could steal any time to themselves, between training, patrols, or the others in the Monastery. So whenever they had the chance to cuddle and spend so much time together, just the two of them, they took it wholeheartedly. 
On Nya’s face had formed a fond smile, from all the thinking and reminiscing. She always ended up like this whenever she thought of Jay; sappy, and soft, and while she didn’t like it much when they were younger, she had to admit it was a pleasant feeling. 
She glanced back to Jay to express her feelings once again, only for her smile to drop as she spoke up for the first time since they had woken up. 
“If you bite me I’m kicking you out.”
Jay froze, his mouth slowly closing as he settled his head back against her shoulder. He stared up at Nya, a pout on his face and with tired puppy eyes. She deadpanned back at him. 
“You’re so mean to me.”
“You just tried to bite me??”
“It’s affectionate!”
The two of them laughed, Nya shaking her head with a sigh, and Jay moving back up to press a kiss to her face.
“If you truly loved me you’d let me bite you.”
She stared at him, raising an eyebrow. Her head tilted to the side, and she flicked his forehead. 
“Whatever you say, Jay.”
She heard him let out a yell of protest as she laughed, ruffling his hair. Jay wrestled to get out of her hold, and they bickered through their laughs. 
Ah, they truly loved the mornings they could spend together.

Cyrus Borg & Pixal
Warnings: robot injury.
The ninja rarely called him regarding Pixal—usually she contacted him herself—so when he recognized the call as coming from Master Wu, he put an important politician on hold to answer at once.
"Hello?" Cyrus said. "Is something wrong?"
"It's Pixal," Wu said. "She's injured."
His gut twisted. "How bad?"
"Unsure. She's conscious, but acting erratically. She won't let Jay or Nya look at the damage. She's asking for you."
That was all he needed to hear.
"I'll be there as soon as possible," Cyrus said. "Where are you? The monastery?"
"We're in Ninjago City. We haven't moved her."
He nodded. "What's the address?"
They were in the warehouse district. Cyrus confirmed the location and promised he'd be there soon. "Tell Pixal I'm on my way, alright?" he said, trying to keep his voice steady. "I have all my equipment with me, and I'll make sure she's alright. Tell her I love her."
"I'll pass on the message," Wu said. "I won't be there to meet you, but the others will."
The call ended. Cyrus informed his other call that an emergency had come up and disconnected without waiting for a response.
---
The warehouse had a hole blown into it spanning the ground floor to half the second, still smoking. Cyrus' heart dropped at the sight. "Keep going," he told his driver. "My daughter's hurt in there."
Zane and Nya met him at the entrance. "This way, Dr. Borg," Zane said. "She's still conscious, but she's stopped making any sense. She won't let anyone help her."
"Tell me what happened," Cyrus said, pushing himself with one hand and holding his supplies on his lap with the other. "What parts of her were damaged?"
"We're not sure," Nya said as they walked inside. The power was out, and she turned on a flashlight to light their way. "After the explosion, we found her rebooting herself upstairs. Her armor looked like it absorbed most of the shock, but her head was exposed. When she woke up, she was disoriented and couldn't tell us what happened."
Cyrus inhaled sharply. "Could be anything from a loose connection to something more serious. I won't know until I examine her." He paused. "You said she was upstairs?"
"I can carry you in your wheelchair," Zane said.
"Thank you."
His heart pounded as they ascended the stairs. Pixal would be fine. There was no damage he couldn't fix, short of total incineration, but—but Pixal was conscious. She was responding. She would be fine.
When they reached her, Cyrus couldn't restrain a distressed noise. Pixal was limp in Lloyd's arms, the green glow of her eyes fading in and out. She was rebooting, he realized, which only brought up more concerns.
"How many times has she rebooted?" were the first words out of his mouth.
Lloyd glanced at Nya. "Four times that we know of," he said.
"Including this one, I mean."
"Has anyone disturbed her during a reboot?"
"I mean, I caught her this time, but I figured it would be worse if she hit her head."
"No, you're right." Cyrus pushed himself over. "Lay her on her back. I'll have to wait until she wakes up."
Lloyd nodded. Cyrus got out of his chair to be closer to Pixal, taking in the damage. Her face had several cracks marring its surface, some worse than others, and her carefully rooted hair was in disarray. She had built the latest version of her body herself, commanding the machines of his factory from the computers she was bound to. Cyrus brushed over her bangs and a chunk of synthetic hair came out in his hand.
He looked around the room. Around them was an upturned table and a desktop computer laying screen-down on the ground. The explosion had done a lot of damage. He forced himself to look away.
When he returned his attention to Pixal, her eyes glowed green and stayed bright. Reboot complete. She blinked once and her eyes focused on him.
"Pixal," Cyrus said. "Pixal, can you hear me?"
Her lips moved. "Father," she said.
Cyrus exhaled. "Pixal, you were injured. Do you remember what happened?"
"No," said Pixal. "There are holes in my head."
His heartrate picked up. "Do you mean gaps in your memory?"
"Holes in my head," she repeated. "Father, something is—something is wrong."
She tried to sit up. "Lay there for me," Cyrus said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I need to examine you. Pixal, I believe it would be safest if you were powered down while I repair the damage. Can you do that for me?"
Pixal's gaze drifted to the ceiling. "There is data on my drive I did not…" She trailed off. "I don't remember where it came from."
Cyrus took her hand. "Pixal, I need you to power down. Can you do that, or should I do it manually?"
"I—" Her voice glitched for a moment. "I don't know. Something is wrong."
"We'll figure it out together." Cyrus managed to smile at her. "I'm going to open your control panel, okay? Zane is going to help me take your armor off."
Zane was beside him at once. "Tell me what to do."
Pixal didn't struggle or speak as they removed her Samurai X armor, but just as Cyrus opened her chest panel, her eyes turned off. Cyrus thought—hoped—for a moment that she had shut down like he asked her, but realized the next second that she was rebooting again. "Five times," he said to himself.
"The last few times she was conscious for longer," Lloyd said. "She was moving around a little, too."
"Not good," Cyrus said. He leaned back and ran a hand through his hair. "Not good. When she wakes up again, I'll tell her what we're doing, and then I'll have to shut her down manually."
They waited in tense silence for the reboot to complete. Cyrus kept Pixal's chest panel open, watching the lights inside blink and flicker. He didn't recognize any of the lights as abnormal, but it had been so long since he had to repair Pixal himself.
Pixal woke up. "Father," she said.
"Pixal," said Cyrus. "Do you remember what happened?"
"No," she said. "You are repairing me. Why?"
Cyrus sucked in a breath. "You were injured. You have been rebooting over and over again, and I need you to power down so I can fix you safely. Do you understand?"
She blinked. "Father, there are holes in my head."
"You're going to be okay," Cyrus said. "We'll find out what's wrong, and we'll make sure you're okay. I'm going to power you down now, Pixal. I love you."
Pixal's eyes found him. "I love you too, Father."
He found the button to power her down. The light in her eyes faded. Cyrus took a moment to calm himself before he began examining Pixal.
Her hard drive appeared fine. The more Cyrus examined her hardware, the more he began to dread the problem was internal. He glanced back at the broken computer.
"Tell me what happened," he said. "Pixal was upstairs, there was an explosion, and the power went out."
"The power went out first," Lloyd said. "It was out for a few minutes before the explosion. Not sure how long, though. Probably less than ten? Is that important?"
"Maybe. I'm not sure." Cyrus pointed at the computer. "What about that?"
"It was like that when we found her."
"Bring it to me."
Zane picked up the computer and at the sight of the wire trailing from it, Cyrus realized what happened. From the way Zane froze, he knew too. "That's Pixal's," said Zane, unplugging the wire and staring at it. "Was she plugged into it?"
"She must have been," Cyrus said. "Whatever you were doing in here, she must have thought the computers had relevant data, and when the power went out, she would have had to connect to them herself to read the information." He took a breath. "That's not good, but it's better than if we didn't know about it."
He opened up his laptop and, after a moment of hesitation, plugged a fresh wire into it and into Pixal. "You'll be okay," he said to her unconscious body. "I'll make sure of it."
Doubts prickled at his mind, even as he scrolled through Pixal's files. What if the damage was unfixable? What if the damage had corrupted her core personality? What if he woke her up and she became someone else?
He steeled himself. If that was the case, he would mourn the daughter he knew and love the new daughter he had.
He lay on the floor for over an hour while the ninja kept watch. Some of her code was corrupted, but it appeared to only be technical functions, nothing that influenced her personality or emotions; normally, she could fix them herself, but something was preventing her from doing so.
After the first fifteen minutes, Jay brought him a glass of water, which Cyrus rejected. "I'm not going to risk spilling it," he said. "She's gone through enough as it is."
Finally, he found the problem. Cyrus sighed in relief and looked up. "I know what to do," he said. "Something damaged the program she uses to repair her own code, and instead of functioning as it should, whenever she tried to run it, it failed and made her reboot. I can run it manually from here."
"From the laptop?" Zane asked.
"Ah, no. With the amount of data on her, it would take hours to run it off something as small as this. I'll have to bring her home."
Zane tilted his head. "Would my processors be faster?"
Cyrus paused. "Well, yes, but… the risk is low, but your own data may be damaged in the process."
"I'm willing to risk it."
Cyrus didn't argue. He gave Zane instructions on what to do and connected him to Pixal. Zane carefully lowered himself to the floor beside her and sat up stiff and straight as he ran the program.
He didn't know how long it would take. Cyrus sighed. "I'll take that water now, Jay," he said.
After about ten minutes, Zane returned to full consciousness. "It's done," he said. "Hopefully she's alright now."
"Hopefully," said Cyrus. He put down his water and returned to Pixal's side. "Let me look at her head one more time."
After disconnecting Zane, Cyrus finished the cosmetic repairs to her head as best he could with the materials on hand. "Her vision should be fine," he said. "Alright. Hope for the best…"
His hand shaking, he powered her back on and leaned back to wait. The process was slow. The glow in Pixal's eyes faded in and out for what seemed like hours, though by Cyrus' watch, it was only thirty seconds. She blinked and turned to face him.
"Father," she said.
Cyrus smiled. "Pixal, how are you feeling?"
She frowned. "Could be better, but I assume this is an improvement from my prior state. My memories are not all there. You were repairing me?"
He sighed in relief. "You certainly sound better. Your maintenance program was malfunctioning. I had to go into your code to repair the damage."
Pixal nodded, then sat up. "We're still in the warehouse," she said. "Lloyd, what happened?"
"The guy we were chasing blew up half the building," Lloyd said. "Probably to destroy the evidence or something. You were caught in the blast. You were conscious, but not coherent, and you asked for Dr. Borg."
"Understood," Pixal said. "We should return to the monastery and–"
"Pixal," Cyrus interrupted, "you were injured, and I only performed the most urgent repairs. I would like to continue your repairs at Borg Tower."
"I appreciate it, Father, but I'm fine."
"Pixal," Zane said gently, "we were all very worried about you. This is not a mission where the fate of Ninjago is at stake. Please take the time you need to recover."
"But…"
Cyrus took her hand. "Please, Pixal," he said. "I need to make sure you're alright."
She relented. "Okay," she said, and leaned over to hug him.
Cyrus gratefully accepted the gesture. "I love you, Pixal," he said. "I love you too, Father."

HII kai headcanons if you have any??? i’d love to hear what u think about him
OFCC THANK YOUU
Tumblr media
I headcanon Kai to be Japanese, Malay/Indo (Maya is Japanese/Indo, but Ray is Malay). He looks more Indo-Malay though, Nya's the one that takes more of her mom's genes.
He has BLUE eyes, a contrast to his sister, who has red. No further reason whatsoever to this, just a funny design detail. Another I'd like to bring up is that I actually believe that he'd have short, tied up hair! I don't see him with his canon version, but I'd get to drawing that one day.
This kind of, diverges from canon, but I believe that Nya was kind of the more outgoing sibling compared to Kai. He was always focused as a child, and he wanted to be trustable and determined, he also wishes to keep going and be strong for his little sister - who was unfortunately clumsy, but she always seemed to wander around places. Once they grew up, they became the vice versa of who they were, as Kai gradually felt like he was able to become more laidback with his friends, and family, it was Nya's turn to push herself to face the world.
Um... A bit of a sudden transition, but his favorite food is specifically seafood fried rice, but the funny part is that he actually can't handle spicy food that well (completely ironic due to his SEAsian side)... Jay made fun of him one time like, "Why would you go around saying you're the master of fire, but you can't even take hot stuff?"
Kai's habit is that he likes to snap his fingers and spark fire, he does this when he's bored or subconciously. There's something satisfying with being able to do it.
His body temperature is warmer than the average, this becomes even more prevalent when he's stressed, or angry. Though when he's excited, he also gets the same reaction. But in general, it's always been odd, and it becomes an unfortunate cause when he's sick, because the Ninja find it difficult whether to differentiate if it's just him, or he actually has a fever. But on winter days, everyone just snuggles around him because he's just that warm.
Kai's hands are scorched and burnt, but they are old scars due to his clumsiness when he was still trying to master his element. His hands are also littered with scars due to his experiences blacksmithing.
I actually, REALLY love the fact that Kai blacksmiths, it's something that's barely brought up. I reckon if he were to visit weapon shops or equipments, he'd start judging them off the bat.
Actually, there should he more emphasis on the fact that Kai blacksmiths, he has so much knowledge upon tools and weapons... He must definitely take part in the creation of most of the Ninja's weapons, and maybe he also helps Pixal as she builds certain weaponry too, despite the fact that he knows, she probably knows many things already. Likewise, Pixal is always happy to hear Kai's pieces of knowledge, whether Kai knows it or not, his experiences are naturally not "accessible information" she can just find anywhere, listening to him talk about his trials and errors- they are priceless.
He's a weapon collector too! After a mission is finished, sometimes he'd bring himself a souvenir or two (obviously, they're weapons). He likes to study blades, or the things his foes have used, and he tries to understand their works to be able to improve his own. He doesn't hoard them, but there are times where he finds out he's out of storage to store his findings, so he just piles them up, but he doesn't leave them unorganized for too long because he knows it'll affect the quality.
Have I mentioned that I personally think Kai has adhd, like both him and Nya. In a way. Yeah.
AND... Since u know Neteyammeowmeow habits... Deepseaenergy mentioned! When Benthomaar wanted to ask for blessings from Lloyd's family, the ones he first approached aside from Misako- were Nya and Kai, who were both startled by his actions. Benthomaar brought up how it was Lloyd's words that made him believe they were a genuine part of his family- Benthomaar said that, he understood the significance of how important it truly was to have a sense of belonging, and acceptance, though the start was a rocky journey. There was so much more, but of course at the end of his words, it was unforgettable to remember the confusion upon Benthomaar's expression amidst Nya's amusement, as she comforted an incredibly touched Kai.
THE END...

The gang finds out about Jay’s Snake Tail
“Fascinating…”
Jay struggled to stand still as Pixal lightly pulled at his ears. His blue skin and yellow eyes had faded fully a few days ago, but there seemed to be no change to some of the more permanent body modifications he’d made to himself while in Prime Empire. It wasn’t even something he’d thought about - he’d spent over two years at this point looking like Superstar Rockin’ Jay, so he hadn’t bothered changing his avatar or anything before leaving Prime Empire for good. 
Just another thing to get used to, he supposed.
After a moment, Pixal let go of his ears, half-hazardly grabbed his face, and pulled his jaw open, squinting to get a better analysis of his teeth. He made an alarmed sound, but he HAD given her permission to run any tests she wanted. 
“Take it easy on Sparky, Pix,” Morro said from somewhere off to the side. “He’s a person, not a machine.” 
Morro and Kai were in the lab as well, watching in fascination. Morro and Jay had become particularly close in the past few weeks, so Jay had asked him to be there for this check-up/experimentation/whatever Pixal considered this. As for Kai, as much as he’d tried to hide it he was still skeptical of the new Master of Lightning, so he’d insisted on being there as well.
Pixal looked sheepish as she took her hands out of Jay’s mouth. “My apologies, Jay. I got a bit too excited.”
Jay stretched his jaw out a little before closing it with a snap. “Nah, ‘s fine. It is kind of interesting to figure out what stayed and what didn’t from my avatar.”
He didn’t mention how awkward he felt, with his pointed ears and fangs and-
Speak of the devil, Pixal looked him up and down, giving him a quick scan. “Any abnormal coloration seems to have faded according to my scans, and you seem perfectly fine and healthy. Your top surgery scars as well as fangs, ears, and tail are all intact and seemed to have remained from your game avatar.
Everyone in the room went silent.
“Sorry, tail?” Kai said. “What tail?”
Pixal looked between Kai and Jay. “Was I not supposed to say that?”
Jay groaned. He knew that the people of Ninjago were still not… entirely big fans of the Serpentine, so he was hoping to keep this one on the down low, but he supposed it’d be fine if the Ninja knew, so…
Jay undid a small button in the back of his shorts and let the small snake tail that he’d been trying to keep hidden pop out the back. It rattled as everyone stared at it.
“Surprise! I… had some snake-based power-ups in the game that decided to… stick around,” Jay said, face bright red.
Everyone was quiet for a moment until Lloyd walked into the room, took one look at Jay, and nearly spit out the soda they’d been drinking.
“OH MY FIRST MASTER WE’RE TWINS.”
Lloyd let their own dragon-esque tail pop out from the back of their gi, and pulled his hair back to reveal his similarly pointed ears. 
“TWINS.”
Jay blinked for a moment, before pointing at Lloyd with a grin. “TWINS!!”
The two kept shouting at each other while Kai, Pixal, and Morro watched off to the side.
“Well, glad he feels better about it now,” Morro said with a shrug. “I’m sure it’ll take some getting used to.”
“I don’t get the big deal,” Kai said. “Why be nervous about the tail? He already knew that most of this team isn’t exactly ‘human’ anyways, it’s not like we’d judge him for it.”
“Pretty sure he just wants to have as normal of a time as possible now that he’s coping with everything,” Morro said, his voice lowering. “A few weeks ago, he thought he was a video game character and now he’s learning he’s destined to protect Ninjago and Lloyd. That’s a lot to shove on someone all at once, and thinking about he’s different from most people probably wasn’t helping.”
Kai hummed in agreement. “Guess that makes sense.” Then he blinked. “Man, since when are you the sensible one of the group?”
Morro snickered. “Not like it’s hard with you lot.”
“...Yeah fair.”

2nd Member Prelude
So I’m not particularly a writer per se, and I don’t particularly want to write or draw out everything that happens in this au so...
Rotten Origin synopsis + image under the cut
Kai remembers his sister, He remembers her dark blue eyes and short hair and he remembers the screams that echoed through the night the day his family was taken away from him. As a child he was powerless. He could not protect his parents, let alone his sister. He was afraid and alone.
Now picture this. You put this man who’s only taste of family was having it ripped away from him, right?
Kai has felt alone for years. The deep sadness that taints his and Skylar’s interactions can only get him so far. He knows he’s been unwanted by her for a long time. He knows the only thing keeping her here is his power.
So Kai being forced to travel with a young teen, a bit younger than him but it feels like they’re decades apart. I feel like the warmth in Kai’s heart would grow beyond his control. A small ember sparked inside him as a child, and has been growing dimmer the longer he ignores it is suddenly a wild inferno. His big brother instinct is intact.
Lloyd is a kid. And as they travel together, Kai grows to learn that. He has trouble distinguishing the child and the power he can gain from him, but he’s learning. 
Eventually, something would happen to put Lloyd and Kai in danger if they don’t split up. Kai is forced to drop the baby harness thing, and it never goes back on. Afterwards, Kai agrees that he’ll help Lloyd with gathering the other core elementals.
He immediately takes it back upon learning that their next member is up on a sky ship that’s a bit too close to being over the ocean for Kai’s comfort.
Pixal, weary of pirates because of previous events I haven’t discussed, decides to stay back and make sure Kai doesn’t bail.
Lloyd releases a long drawn out breath before attempting to hail the sky pirates above them. He wasn’t planning on finding the Master of Lightning this early, but he knows that once the master catches on that there’s someone looking for him he will be incredibly more difficult to find.
Tumblr media
TL;DR: Kai’s big bro instinct kicks in and he starts to like lloyd but not enough to get on a flying pirate ship for him.
