kai_ninjago appreciation hours

k gamer we need to talk about kai and how he is consistently the family man of the ninja and arguably the most emotionally mature of them all when it comes to family

i love kai so much. hes not the brightest, but he is the most loving out of all the ninja, even if it’s in his own way.

first up, presumably taking care of nya for years on his own. like, im sure the neighbors helped out, but he has gone on record saying that they mostly grew up on their own. this kid got “abandoned” by his parents. but even then, he lit lanterns with nya on day of the departed. even though he didn’t know what happened to them, he chooses to believe that they wouldn’t leave them willingly. that they’re still worth remembering and loving.

when it’s revealed that zane is a robot, kai is the first one there. “you may be a robot, but you’re still our brother.” being a robot doesnt change anything, and kai is the first one to make sure zane knows it, but is also the one to later tell the others “we just have to give him time. i don’t know how i’d feel if somebody told me i was a robot.” Like, he empathizes with zane! he tells zane he still loves him, respects zane’s wish to be given space, and expresses empathy with him. in ninjago decoded, kai even reveals that he often forgets zane isn’t human. zane is, at this point, made of titanium. and yet all kai sees is zane

ok and then there’s his true potential. what even is there to say about that one? how he realizes his purpose is to protect his family. he’s there to protect lloyd. the one that once left lloyd, flaked out on him. he realizes that no, this kid is everything to him.

when lloyd was climbing the tower to fight the overlord, kai was right there, ready to protect him. “there’s only one green ninja.” this is no longer about him, it’s about lloyd’s destiny to save the world. and he would do everything to make sure lloyd makes it through that

now. kai gets a lot of flack for being not that smart. and dude really aint. his mouth is a pistol with which to shoot himself in the foot. but when it comes to family? He’s one of the most eloquent there. In titanium ninja, he’s the one to first coin “this isn’t about numbers, it’s about family.” something that resonated with zane strongly enough that he would fight the overlord despite all odds.

And then the funeral. it wasnt wu to speak. or cole or jay or even lloyd, but kai. his speech is genuinely like... really good?

“Everybody wondered what powered Zane, and I don’t think we’ll ever know, but I’d like to think it was brotherhood. Because he powered me. And he still powers me. Wherever you are Zane, you’ll always be one of us.”

this is coming from a dude that probably can’t do long division or tell you what a prepositional phrase is. what kai lacks in book smarts, and even in typical maturity (he’s still very much so a teenager) he makes up for with this insane emotional intelligence specifically regarding family.

in season 4, he’s the one we see visiting zane’s statue. he’s the one that supports lloyd in spite of his crush on skylor (even cole and jay got distracted by their own squabbling, even if they did the right thing in the end) he’s the one that took NONE of skylor’s bullshit once she revealed having ice powers.

and he was so deeply hurt by her betrayal! he felt genuinely betrayed! he really trusted her, even though he probably shouldnt have, seeing as she tried to turn him against lloyd. but just like lloyd with harumi, kai saw the good in her. and his loyalty changed skylor.

then season 5. lloyd just had to banish his father. so kai does what he did once already: steps up to be there. telling lloyd that he’ll be there for him. and he is. he’s the one to get through to lloyd on multiple occasions when he’s possessed by morro after all.

season 7. kai is so genuinely hurt when he thinks his dad betrayed them. but once he knows they’re on his side, he’s so, so, SO genuinely relieved, and later doesn’t hold it against them that he and nya grew up alone, even though he does have plenty of right to do so, or to at least still feel hurt by it. no. he’s just glad to have them back.

i don’t remember season 8 very clearly, but kai being the one to answer cole’s questions about babies is pretty fun.

season 9 puts them through the wringer. at first, kai is actually the one freaking out the most, he wants to go home so badly, they don’t know what happened to lloyd. but when wu and hope are lamenting being tied to fucking stakes and left to die, kai is the first one to comfort wu. to start joking around to lighten the mood, which the others then piggyback off of. it’s kai that’s there to try and comfort him first.

season 10, cole’s fall. you can tell how badly kai wants to go back for cole, even when all logic dictates that they’d die. personally, i like to imagine that he told zane that “this isn’t about logic, it’s about family” to which zane might say “this is about the innocent lives on our ship” to which kai just. looks down in sorrow.

but when lloyd returns, they’re all silent. none of them want to tell lloyd what happened. it’s kai that breaks the news. it’s kai (and jay of course) that comforts nya when she blames herself. it’s kai that later goes to nya when she’s alone to tell her that it’s not her fault, and to push her towards moving past what happened, at least long enough that they can make it through this to grieve cole later. the one to reinforce to nya that cole wouldnt hold what happened against her (by offering her the scythe)

it’s just... it’s so consistently a part of kai’s character. i don’t know the second series enough off the top of my head to really point to specific examples. which is like, on me of course.

but when he lost nya, he channeled that into becoming a DOJO INSTRUCTOR for YOUNG CHILDREN. He saw his sister disappear, and decided to protect the rest of the children of ninjago, in whatever way he could: by making sure they could defend themselves, even if he’s not able to do it for them. it’s... honestly remarkably touching and poignant.

but like, shit, man. dragons rising NAILED big brother kai. the way he picks up lloyd and spins him around. he’s overflowing with so much love for his family. there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that he’d go through hell and high water for any of them. which is true of all the ninja, of course, but kai... he’s special

he’s the one that knows what to say. how to comfort someone. how to make someone feel loved. how to help someone grieve. even if he doesn’t always know how to handle that grief himself (see his time as the burning shogun)

the fact that he learned these skills from such a young age is tragic in its own right, but that he managed to turn his loss and strife into such a positive character trait is nothing short of amazing, and is such a sorely overlooked aspect to his character.

tl;dr - Kai is not only loyal to a fault, but also capable of comforting people and being there for them. He loves his family so much, and he’s one of the best at expressing that in the little ways and big ones.

(sidebar but shoutout to his VA. he’s the one that really makes kai come to life)

Forever thinking about how the dhmis characters COULD say fuck if so desired, like the show is for adults there's nothing stopping them, they simply choose not to

#i hope they do at some point #but only one #ro talks #dhmis #dont hug me im scared #red guy #duck #yellow guy #red guy already said hell but i think they could push him a bit more

Five times Rudolf kissed Tod and one time Tod kissed Rudolf.

1. Hand: Rudolf found his friend most often when alone, so it was a surprise when the unmistakable chill wrapped around him at the gala. What this one was for, Rudolf had no idea. He’s been ordered to attend. It was loud, so much so that he had sought the quiet of the balcony, not anticipating his oldest friend’s appearance. Tod’s hand on his back was welcome, and he laid his head on Tod’s shoulder for a long moment before taking Tod’s hand and pressing a long kiss to his ring. He wanted to stay here forever, alone beneath the stars.

2. Shoulder: Tod hadn’t moved the entire time as Rudolf had hastily dressed, standing by the window, watching the sun rise over the dark forest. The guilt ate at Rudolf - he’d only just arrived at Mayerling, but to ignore an imperial summons was not wise, especially when it was written in his father’s hand instead of Count Taaffe’s. The last of the buttons done, he stepped next to Tod, murmuring his apologies for the early departure. A knock on the door came from the servants. Rudolf said one last apology, pressing a soft kiss on Tod’s shoulder, and departed for Vienna.

3. Back of the neck: His departure was planned, but Rudolf hated watching the early dawn rays illuminate Tod’s hair - really more of a halo than hair - as he tugged on his uniform jacket. He’d never asked Tod if any of the Easter stories were true, and sometimes it felt like it would cross a boundary. Tod’s knowledge, or what little of it he had seen, was endless. Deep as the black ocean. Rudolf touched Tod’s cool shoulder and bid him farewell, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of his neck, just where the golden ends of his curls rested.

4. Cheek: Tod was gently stroking Schatten’s nose, holding the bridle, as Rudolf struggled with his riding gloves. The close fitting material was always devilish to get on, no matter how many times Rudolf did it. It was a bit of an odd image - Death himself, angelic as could be, serene and almost somber with a great black horse. And then there was Rudolf, a clumsy prince fighting with his riding gloves. They did finally go into place and Rudolf pressed a kiss to his friend’s cool cheek before swinging himself up into his saddle. It was time for the parade.

5. Corner of the lips: It was fitting that he arrived with the dying of the sun. Tod was waiting for him, luminous eyes calm and inviting just outside the door. The servants were all absent. Rudolf had sent the dismissals for the night ahead of him. And so he didn’t hold back at all, half running to Tod. His friend didn’t particularly like being embraced, but he permitted Rudolf’s hand, sliding around him as Rudolf leaned in, pressing a kiss to the corner of Tod’s perfect mouth. Rudolf wanted more, so much more. But there would be time for that.

+1. Mouth: He had passed the night laying across his friend’s lap, enjoying his company, the cool fingers carding through his hair, and the deep peace that came both from Mayerling - the primeval woods, so different from the bustle of Vienna - and from his friend. He couldn’t quite say what it was, but it just felt right as he pulled himself up and into Tod’s lap, as his friend stroked his cheek so very gently. As those soft lips claimed his own for the first time. He never wanted the feeling they brought to end. But alas, it had to. Bang.

#todolf kisses #todolf #100 words each #which actually wasn't so bad #I mean death #but only one #what did you expect from todolf kisses #the only suprising part is that rudolf only died once #my fic #it was exactly 600 words #but the numbering bumped it to 606 #and I'm somewhat annoyed but leaving it this way

"..... Besties." Suddenly, a hand stuck out between them and waved around, "Excuse me, do you two think I'm dead?”

Alright, maybe Murong Lian deserves one point for the entire book 🤣

favorite outfit ever is a pirate shirt I got at the renaissance fair and wide leg pants I got from wish. they're both made out of this loosely woven cotton, and the shirt has a fun, loose collar and poofy sleeves.

Please let me dress like a ye olde peasant every day. I want my shape to be rectangle and my sleeves to be flowy

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

Knowledge Revenge.

#dungeon meshi #chilchuk tims #senshi #Somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Dragon Comic. I promise I have more versatility in my jokes. I just had to take this opportunity. #Senshi is pretty much a recluse. I think he would know a few of these 'gottems' but not all. #Chilchuck would know gottems that are nearly lost to time. The deep cuts. The ones that you fall for because they are that obscure. #I would also like to take a moment to confess that after the last comic in which I posed a gottem - #I fell victim to a Mind Goblin Attack. I was thoroughly got. I will be on higher alert this time. #So NOBODY be funny in the tags. I am gullible and I like to share things with my friends. Who are *ruthless*. #I have a mild resistance to Vicious Mockery at this point but I can only take so much. #Happy Thistle Thursday Everyone! See you next week!
