#and Lloyd is about 10-11

[muddy-snows]

While I’m working on the last few chapters of Runs in the Family and getting some concepts ready for Next Chapter, I’d like to tell you all about the Movie Verse version of this AU(yes I’ve thought about it)

First off, Koko leaves Garm and Garm decides to keep doing warlord stuff for a bit longer when he runs into a little orphaned girl and just picks her up and takes her home. Koko goes completely off the grid and neither Garm nor Wu have any clue where she or Lloyd are. Harumi is raised as Garm’s only child(she has no clue about Lloyd) and so the city hates her. She decides to be the green ninja because she just wants to have a normal life with her dad, none of the other ninja know who she is.

Eventually she gets desperate and uses the ultimate weapon to summon Meowthra. She also reveal her identity to the public and now all the other ninja aren’t sure if they can trust her. Cue the events of the movie and it’s mostly the same but with Rumi in Lloyd’s place and she has a slightly better relationship with Garm to start.

Meanwhile, with Lloyd. He knows about Garm and Harumi and he desperately wants to be a family with them but Koko doesn’t want him to get dragged into any of the drama happening there. He isn’t in public a lot(home schooled) and he gets a bit upset about that. One day, the green ninja summons a cat demon and reveals herself to be Harumi Garmadon. Meowthra causes a ton of destruction and Koko gets caught in it and dies(I did this because I knew Koko would never abandon Lloyd) so Lloyd ends up alone and pretty unstable.

So one day at school a kid bumps into Rumi, seemingly not knowing who she is and asks her for directions. The interaction is just weird enough for her to remember is but not call it out. She meets the kid again on ninja duty. Now that Garmadon is not evil anymore lots of other smaller villains have been fighting for control of the city, one of the them being a gang called the Sons of Garmadon. Harumi finds the kid being attacked by the SoG and beats the crap out of them. The kid reveals himself to be Sym Jade(haha he stole her last name) who just recently moved to the city. The SoG drop some lore that SOMEONE wanted them to get Sym, although Sym says he has no clue why.

After some digging they find out that a villain named the Golden Oni put a pretty big bounty on Sym head. Harumi decides it would be safer for Sym to stay where they can protect him until they can figure this out so he moves to the volcano. Before this he tells them he was in a foster home so it’s no big deal. More stuff happens I guess like them meeting Mystake and some other hints towards Sym and the Golden Oni’s true identities.

At some point Harumi realizes that Sym is meant to be bait for her and then realizes he’s been taken. She goes after him using the ransom letter she’s been left but doesn’t tell anyone else. She’s led to the cities main water treatment thing(idk just work with me) where she finds Sym tied up. She cuts him loose and they are about to escape when Sym steals her sword and stabs her with it. He reveals himself to be the Golden Oni and tells her that he tricked her. He also then reveals his true identity, he tells her that he’s Lloyd Garmadon, the son of Lord Garmadon. His whole villain plan(as he explains here) is basically to use a memory wiping tea he stole from Mystake(they are opps in every timeline lol) to make everyone in Ninjago, most notably his father, forget Harumi. The he would kill her to take care of the evidence and replace her. Harumi fights back a bit more than expected and she ends up defeating him. He then resorts to plan B: Make himself forget everything that’s happened, including his mom dying, so he doesn’t have to live with the trauma. He ends up getting only a drop of the tea before Harumi can get to him and he starts to forget. She promises him that he won’t be alone this time and as she sees a realization cross him he forgets and the strain causes him to pass out.

Finally, the others arrive on the scene and Harumi explains everything. I don’t know what happens much after here but I do know that they are trying to find a cure while lying to Lloyd about what happened. He’ll remember eventually so what’s the point in telling him now?

Sorry for the long post, just felt like I was taking a while with the next chapter and wanted to give you all something

✨Small Canon Things in Ninjago That Aren’t Necessarily Important to the Plot, but Important to Me Pt 2✨

(in honor of the first post reaching 2.5k notes)

1. the reason the ninja can’t summon their elemental dragons anymore is bc they’re too traumatized

2. Kai takes laxatives

3. Lloyd felt responsible for Nya’s sacrifice

4. Morro took a shot while he was in Lloyd’s body

5. Cole’s favorite color is orange

6. Chamille, the master of form, is a “bad girl” post s4

7. the ninja were literal children when they waltzed into Chen’s tournament and proceeded to beat all the adult EMs in the competition

8. prior to seabound, Nya resented her parents for not being there in her childhood, her mother more so than her father (✨mommy issues✨)

9. Nya is hyper-independent as a result of her childhood; while Kai is more openly accepting to his parents because he has a better memory of them

10. Wu was close enough with Lilly that he could remember whether or not she wore a necklace

11. Cliff Gordon was a “womanizer”

12. Lloyd didn’t naturally hit puberty until s8

13. Cole and Jay are best friends

14. whether or not you see Pixane as a bf/gf situation in canon, they are canonically soulmates

15. Jay has not yet received his inheritance letter

16. at least up until the Merge, Zane’s statue is still in downtown Ninjago City

17. ninjago citizens are fully aware their only protection are six super-powered teens/young adults

18. the ninja are still famous, public figures

19. Jay is the only ninja who hasn’t died (yet)

20. despite being a terrible actor, Lloyd is always sent on the undercover missions

21. the ninja are on first name basis with each others parents

22. Cole’s favorite genre of music is soft rock

23. Zane has selective memory

24. after Nya’s sacrifice, each ninja depicted a different stage of grief (Zane-Denial, Kai-Anger, Lloyd-Depression, Jay-Bargaining, and Cole-Acceptance)

25. Cole never actually had feelings for Nya, he was just flattered by the attention and petty about Jay being mad at him

26. elements react based on the master’s emotions

27. Jay is so emotionally dependent on being around other people that he loses his mind when he’s alone for too long

28. Lloyd had a chat with god and wasn’t impressed

29. Cole’s snoring can be heard throughout the monastery

30. Nya is not a morning person

31. Kai and Skylor have been in a situationship since s4

32. Lloyd being the grandson of god is not common knowledge

33. the group of civilians that were on the bounty when Cole fell are probably the only ones who truly realize the danger the ninja put themselves in on the regular to protect the city, and how close they are with each other

34. Wu didn’t want to tell the ninja about the green ninja prophecy because he was afraid of having a repeat of Morro

35. since s8 at the very least, the ninja all shared a room on the bounty until the monastery was rebuilt

36. Jay’s confidence in his own abilities fully depends on what others believe he’s capable of

37. several villains have called the ninja out on being “just a bunch of kids,” and then proceeded to get their shit rocked by said kids

38. the overlord can gloat to Lloyd all he wants to in crystallized, but fact of the matter is Lloyd defeated him when he was like twelve

39. Kai and Nya raised and took care of each other, it wasn’t just Kai doing all of the work

40. Kai is two years older than Nya

41. Zane’s biggest fear is losing his humanity

42. Lloyd’s biggest fear is becoming his father

43. Nya’s biggest fear is losing her individuality

44. Cole’s biggest fear is letting his family down

45. we the audience are the only ones who see the characters as legos; they’re real people in-universe

46. Kai likes spicy food

47. while elemental masters are immune to their elements to some extent, their elements can also be shown to hurt them in some circumstances

and as always, feel free to add on!!

Farewell (for the moment)

HEY SEATTLE! I'm appearing at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival TOMORROW (May 31) with the folks from NPR's On The Media!

I'm about to take a two-ish week sabbatical so I can (once again!) rewrite the Trump chapter of my Enshittification book (October 2025), and so that I can get my (thankfully very treatable) cancer irradiated:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/05/carcinoma-angels/#squeaky-nail

While I'm away, here are some things I'd like to call your attention to. First, some good news: the Washington Post Tech Guild just won a historic union vote with a giant majority, despite the vicious union-hating owner of the Post, a Mr Jeffrey Preston Bezos:

https://newsguild.org/washington-post-tech-guild-overwhelmingly-votes-to-certify-union-in-historic-election/

Even more good news: the GOP have ratfucked themselves, doing the work that our Democratic Party leaders can't or won't do. In overruling the parliamentarian in a bid to arrogate to themselves the power to kill California emission standards, Republican Senators have opened the door for Democrats to seize 10 hours of debate time for every single change Trump makes to federal regulations. These debates take precedence over all Senate business. They can even go back in time and demand 10 hours of floor debate on every agency action for the past 60 days. Basically, that means that Senate Dems can tie up the Senate until the 2026 mid-terms and beyond:

https://prospect.org/politics/2025-05-28-senate-democrats-stop-big-beautiful-bill/

Will they? I mean, it's the kind of tactic Mitch McConnell would have leapt at without even bothering to fully raise the lid of his sarcophagus. Chuck Schmuer? I dunno. Maybe if we gave him a ping-pong paddle with some stylish sans serif text invoking each debate?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KADW3ZRZLVI

That's some good news I'm going to take with me into my coming break. I've really cleared my calendar for this time off, finishing up my CBC podcast "Understood: Who Broke the Internet?" just in the nick of time:

https://pluralistic.net/2025/05/26/babyish-radical-extremists/#cancon

The series prompted Harrison Mooney to do a long, fantastic interview with me for The Tyee, which sets out the series' thesis and call to action very well:

https://thetyee.ca/Culture/2025/05/27/Musk-Zuck-Use-Our-Love-Hostage/

If you're as pissed off about enshittification as I am and you happen to live in NYC, there's a support group for you! This week, I heard from a reader who's organized a monthly open mic "Evening on Enshittification," where attendees present and learn about different kinds of enshittification, from AI to dating and beyond:

https://partiful.com/e/Li1DGg7x5ohmCOf2hAkj

And if you're on the other coast, you can catch me TOMORROW in Seattle at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival, where I'll be onstage with the folks from NPR's On The Media:

🚨 Everything we know about Wednesday season 2 (possible spoilers and trigger warnings for violence — don't read this if you don't wanna know anything about season 2. Also, remember that none of this is confirmed yet, everything is from a leaker supposedly working on the set)

1- Xavier left school so his character is completely forgotten

2- Enid is craving affection and attention a lot

3- Enid's scars healed (I'm so sad about that... bye bye our hopes of Wednesday comforting her about it)

4- Enid's hair is a bit shorter, closer to Emma's real haircut. It's still blond. They also talked about giving her a black streak, but they didn't do it. They will possibly add it next season

5- Ajax broke up with Enid because she kept missing their dates and wasn't really involved in their relationship

6- Ajax disappears through the season but is found at the end

7- Enid has a new boyfriend, Maxim (played by Owen Painter)

8- Maxim is predicted to be loved by the fans

9- Maxim is abusive towards Enid (he grabs her a lot and leaves bruises)

10- Wednesday hates Maxim from the start

11- Wednesday is really protective of Enid during this season

12- Enid breaks up with Maxim in episode 4 (I suppose, as it says mid-season) and it doesn't go well (he's really mad and they almost physically fight. Enid uses her claws)

13- After the break up, Maxim becomes very obsessive

14- Wednesday initiates a hug after Enid comes back to the dorm after the break up

15- Enid and Wednesday will investigate together in every episodes except the first one

16- Maxim takes over the Nightshades and kick Bianca out. His father is said to have old views (I guess similar to Crackstone)

17- Bianca will have a lot of scenes. So does Thing

18- Tyler is back and will work with Wednesday. He's not the villain of this season

19- Tyler has a lot of scenes with Bianca's mom

20- Wednesday, Enid, Morticia, Maxim and Barry (Maxim's father and Nevermore's new principal) have the most screentime

21- Enid meets the Addams and Morticia thinks her relationship with Wednesday is stupendous

22- Enid's relationship with her mom changes a lot (good or bad, we don't know)

23- There will be a camping episode taking place at Camp Jericho, where Enid and Wednesday will share a tent

24- There will be a musical number

25- Christopher Lloyd (original movie Uncle Fester) will come back as, apparently, a music teacher

26- Enid will have a major fight against around 5 creatures

27- One of Enid's fight is to protect Wednesday (who is immobilised during the scene)

28- Wenclair share another hug at the end of the season

29- Enid and Wednesday are very close friends at the end of the season. Wenclair is not comfirmed yet for season 3 but they said it's still possible

30- Jenna is producer this season, so everything that happens between Wednesday and Enid has gone through her. She and Emma are most likely the ones to decide if Wenclair will happen or no. Considering they both said in an interview that they would be good together, that the whole cast ships them and that so much fans does too, we are on the right track!

All of this is not officially confirmed. A leaker working on the set posted all this on Reddit in June (from what I understood). Recently, bts pics of Camp Jericho has been shared, confirming what the leaker said about it. So all of this is most likely true, but again, nothing comfirmed.

I really hope it is true, because holy shit, the plot is INSANE. I literally told my best friend I needed a camping scene in season 2 and more drama... well, there we are 🤌🏻 All this informations I have shared are from the leaker (the post has been deleted on Reddit but you can find some screenshots on @zstronz78's Twitter account)

What are you theories and thoughts about it?

[nobodystrawteas]

Okay so my first tumblr post! I’ve just been lurking on a tumblr for a long time…

So I drew a tiny Age reversal of the ninjas!

Ages: Lloyd 17, Cole 11, Zane and Kai 10, Jay 9 and Nya 8.

Ummm this is some hc that I have on the show from this au. Ships, well their kids so it’s mainly crushes.

Lloyd

Starts off as a minor villain like in show but easily beats the ninjas!

Motivation is to become a great villain like his dad

Till he meets Sensei Wu and realise that he doesn’t want to hurt the young ninjas

Still got kicked out of darkly when he was younger but became more independent and has more trust issue since Wu didn’t find him till he was 17

In season 1 he gets kidnapped by the snakes I think that still happens but it happens because he went on his own to fight them

Lloyd and lord Garmondon relationship is still the same

Just slightly more strained when it’s revealed that he’s the green ninja.

LORD GARMONDON DISLIKE SENSEI WU

That man is angry that Sensei Wu is sending kids and his own son to defeat him

So in S2 he’s targeting sensei Wu over the ninjas

HE REMAINS A BIT OF PRANKSTER 💔💔

Kinda stereotypical mean older brother vibes?

Less mature than older Lloyd in the show

But has more survival tactics and understand villains motivations

More edgy and emo, def doesn’t forgive Misako so easily

I think he would still take on a leadership role since he’s the oldest

Mentoring the younger ninjas, he picks up on things more quickly

Struggles with duty and discipline

Struggle with what right and wrong, plus forgiving people who left him (his family)

Thinks of the others as brats

No one can insult you but me vibes

He gets upset whenever the other get hurt

Morro possessed him and made him hurt them

He has nightmares for weeks afterwards

He makes bets with sensei Wu on who will end up with each other

gossip with Nya

Encouraging the others to go out and be kids when he can

Will take them to the arcade and get them food

Shares his sweets with Cole

Kai got upset that Cole was getting special treats

so Lloyd will train and play with Kai extra when he notices that he getting jealous

Zane and him cook together all the time

He see himself in Jay especially with having similar insecurities like abandonment issues, struggling with being good enough.

He does not want morro anywhere near Jay because he could feel that Morro actually liked Jay (platonically)

Cole

When his mom died, I imagined that his farther threw himself into dancing and dragged Cole with him.

Cole couldn’t handle living up to his dads standards and the grief

So either A. Ran away from home and joined the ninjas.

Or B. Made up some fancy dance boarding school like in cannon and joined the ninjas

Since he’s the oldest (beside Lloyd) he took on a leadership role

He struggled with overworking himself worries about not being enough for the other ninjas

Sensei Wu unofficial favourite kid

Quite innocent compared to his older self

Has a sweet tooth and begs sensei Wu to buy more treats. (Sensei Wu always gives in)

When he reveals to his farther that he’s been a ninja his farther is still slow to accept him

His farther comes around just like in cannon

However he wants to make it up to Cole and be a better dad!!

So visit every now and then to check up on him.

Coles dad comes and gives the ninja team dancing lesson, Cole finds them embarrassing and annoying at first

But Cole dad always brings a cake for them to all eat

Will save up and give gifts to the other.

Buys Kai and Jay video games and reads/plays it with them

Him, Jay and Lloyd all practice dancing together

Nya and him have a competition to make a better playlist than the other

Begs Zane to let him in the kitchen once, everyone got food poising

Zane

The scene (S1) where Zane finds out he’s a robot and his creator is gone?

Boy is crashing out 💔💔

Treats the falcon like a pet

More emotion than og Zane,

Dr. Jullian (Zane’s creator?) made him a child body and adult body that he can switch to.

Zane remains in his child body till later season and upgrades to the adult body. (Maybe when he “dies” his conscious uploads to his adult body?)

He would struggle with his humanity and what it means to be a nindroid

Pixal would be/look the same age as him

Very innocent romantic relationship. Think middle school relationships, where they’ve only held hands like once 😭.

Besides having more emotion than og Zane remains the same

In s2 everyone leaves to go back home except him

Everyone comes back once it looks like lord garmondon is up to no good

The only kid allowed in the kitchen

Slower to upload information, since he’s a kid

Prefers to play and hang out with Nya most of the time

Is the most comforting and comforts Kai when he lashes out

Goes to Nya and Jay for upgrade that will allow him to mature with the rest of them

He see great potential in Lloyd

Out of the boys, he closest with Cole, underrated friendship

Kai

Hot headed and more arrogant

Impulsive? 10x as much. Sensei Wu is aging 2x as fast with him around

He more of a jerk at first because he still dealing with the loss of his parents

More protective of Nya because he doesn’t have the strength to save her as much

Not very flirty since he’s a kid

Acts like a typical middle school boy

Struggles with his powers

Secretly looks up to Lloyd and acts like a annoying little brother to him

Desperate to be the green ninja because he wants to be strong and special

He wants to be Sensei Wu favourite

Gets Jealous of Cole, Zane, Lloyd and Nya because he thinks sensei Wu likes them more than him

He also jealous of Cole and Jay family

Jealousy issues

Besties with Jay because he feels like he can protect him and be cool around him

One sided beef with Cole. Cole has no idea,

Thinks Zane is extremely smart so will bother him with any questions he has

If he thinks of himself as the leader than Zane is his 2nd command.

He doesn’t like leaving the blacksmith shop, since he emotionally attach to it

Will come back every couple months to do upkeep on it

Jay

Find it hard to believe that his adoptive parents would let him be a ninja as such a young age

But in this au, I think sensei Wu saw them struggling to take care of their family (due to money issues) and offered to take Jay and train him

It hurt them, but they wanted Jay to be able to have a full stomach as well as finally be able to make friends

I don’t think he ever hung out with kids his age

So Jay is quiet shy in S1 plus when he nervous he just blabber on and on

As season progresses he becomes more snarky and confident

He definitely hyper aware of his insecurities

So will lash out more

Doesn’t have a crush on Nya since he doesn’t yet know how to hang out with people his age

He still thinks she really cool and wants to hang out with her

Kai is more friendly to him because of that

The others are protective over him since he young and shy.

But he has the most control and skill with his powers. 😭

Would get annoyed at them for treating him like a baby

when he lashes out and be all snarky with them for the first time. they would all be like: shocked pikachu face 😭

Except Zane, Zane was the only one to treat him like normal

Lloyd comforts him when he feels insecure

When morro possess Lloyd, he treats Jay nicer than everyone else (Storm brother will happen in cannon I swear 🙏)

I think in S4? When Cole and Nya are said to be the perfect match he would start to get jelly.

Would be jealous but wouldn’t understand why, until it hits him in the middle of a fight with Cole that he likes Nya

Naddakah or whatever that jerk name is, would traumatise him, by then he would finally understand his feelings for Nya

He does not gloss over the fact that he was abandoned and is adopted???

This boy will have issues about that, and adds to his insecurities!!

when Naddakah is all over he would avoid Nya feeling bad about what happened

Cole and him are great friends, and he takes every opportunity to cling to him

His parents visit often but mostly he visits them. They worry about him a lot

Nya

Oh she is so annoyed that she didn’t get to train as a ninja in S1

Wouldn’t be able to help herself and make passive aggressive comments at Wu

Wu wouldn’t understand why she upset at him

Smaller and less powerful version of her samurai armour

Forces Wu to start her training as a ninja

Wu feels bad and realise he should of started to train her to be ninja as well

She more feisty than in cannon

She still dealing with the loss her parents just like Kai

While Kai gets angry about it and searches for replacement of his parents issue

She completely distracts herself from the issue till she breaks

She realises before Jay does that he has a crush on her

One day she breaks down over her parents and Lloyd is the one to comfort her

She made Lloyd her second older brother, which annoys Kai

Zane will sneak her into the kitchen and they will cook with each other

She helps makes upgrade for Zane and reassure him that even if he’s a nindroid she still see him as a person

Has a small awkward crush / relationship with Cole when they are said to be a great match. They break up rather quickly realising it wasn’t gonna work

Naddakah (genie dude) would want to adopt her instead of marrying her because he what he imagined his daughter would of looked like

And also that would be extremely gross if he wanted to marry a kid

She is so desperate for another girl on the team

Tries so hard for Skylor and Pixal to join the team, heart broken when they don’t

She still has girl night and sleepovers with them which makes her feel like a kid again

They would be teens when they meet harumi and she would be her bi awakening,

Looks up to harumi so much. Harumi would be the same age as Lloyd though.

A/N: I was on my period while writing this. So, I would like you to please bear with me.

The assistant masterlist

The assistant (10) - Apologies

“Tell me, sugar. How did you meet my brothers?” Ransom sits on one of the chairs at the kitchen counter to watch you, Jake and Mike make breakfast for the hungry pack.

“Do not talk to Y/N,” Jake warns. “I don’t know why Andy even called you. We can handle Captain Asshole on our own.”

“Captain Turd,” Lloyd corrects while walking inside the kitchen. “I think I established the name yesterday.” He grins at Steve who sits at the kitchen table. Steve sips the coffee from the café around the corner and tries to stomach the dry bagel he bought.

“Boys, play nice,” you tut and point the spatula at Lloyd. “We do not fight within these walls. Lloyd, that goes for you too. Have a seat. Coffee is ready and we are almost done preparing breakfast.”

“Uh-huh,” Lloyd plops down on the seat closest to you. “You’re wearing my apron.” He grins.

“Yeah, I figured that this must be yours,” you roll your eyes as he grins like a madman.

“Kiss the cook, he wears a mustache?” Ransom huffs and shakes his head. “That mustache looks stupid on you, Lloyd. Almost as if a caterpillar died on your upper lip.”

“Kiss my ass,” Lloyd snarls in Ransom’s direction.

“Eat shit!” Ransom retorts.

“Guys,” you clap your hands. “We have a busy day ahead. Thanks to the drama you caused yesterday, I agreed to let Captain Rogers stay another day. He didn’t get the chance to see anything but a bunch of idiots fighting each other.”

“Idiots?” Lloyd pouts. “I'm not an idiot. Andy started this. It’s not my fault my brother is an idiot.”

“Lloyd, we do not punch people, and we don’t call them idiots,” you tut. “I told you, no more fighting or I’ll hide your expensive mustache wax for a week. Your mustache will be all fuzzy without it.”

“Cupcake, did you steal my wax?” Lloyd gapes at you. “I didn’t take you for a thief, missy. You better not make it a habit.” He looks at you wearing his apron. “Or make it a habit. I like me a bad girl.”

“She’s got a very good lawyer on her side,” Andy casually walks inside the kitchen. He’s hiding the bruises his brother caused with a brand-new shirt and tie. “I will leave for a few hours. I trust you to not kill each other.”

Lloyd glares at his brother Ransom before he says, “I can’t promise anything. You brought this piece of shit into our house.”

“Lloyd!” He made it. You hand the spatula to Mike, asking him to watch the last pancake to round the kitchen island and slap Lloyd’s ass. He yelps but purrs your name. “No swear words at our home, Lloyd!”

“Our…home!” Jake, Mike, Lloyd, Ari, Andy, and Curtis who just walked inside the kitchen, stare at you in awe. They smile, and then, you end up wrapped in too many pairs of arms.

“GUYS! I can’t breathe!” You protest but it's no use. You get hugged again and again until you feel dizzy.

“Hey, what’s your role in this drama?” Ransom turns around to look at Steve while his brothers are all over you. “Damn, aren’t you Captain America?” He slides off his chair to get a better look at Steve sulk in a corner. “Wait…what is Captain America doing here?”

“They kidnapped my assistant,” Steve grumbles while watching you hug the brothers, one after another. They laugh and joke while exclaiming that you accepted their home as your own.

“Ah, I see,” Ransom nods thoughtfully. “So, you’re unwanted here too, huh?” He grins. “Hmmm…you know. My grandmother always bragged about being related to Captain America. She was a crazy old hag, but I cannot deny you are a spitting image of my grandfather.”

“What are you mumbling about over there?” Curtis didn’t forget about Ransom’s intrusion. He’s still up to give his brother a good beating. “I see, two assholes found each other during desperate times.”

You huff. “Curtis! No swear words! We talked about swear words and impulse control last night.”

“Sorry, Sunshine,” Curtis drops his gaze and sighs. If only he’d got a few minutes alone with Ransom. He’d give his treacherous brother a few more punches.

“I get that having your brother back is scary and opened old wounds. But, you should be happy to have him in your life,” you sniffle. “You don’t get a person you love back so easily.”

“Great, now you made her cry,” Andy wraps you in his arms and runs his hand up and down your back. “They’re stubborn but will behave from now on. I promise.”

“I’m only a little emotional,” you choke out a sob. “I’m on…” You shake your head. The brothers don’t need to know that you’re on your period and almost everything makes you cry. “I saw that cat video…and the cat was so cute and…then you argued... and Mike looked like the lost kitten…It made me so happy…”

“Crap,” Lloyd snaps his fingers to get his brothers' attention. “Alright! Red alert. I repeat. Red alert.”

“What now?” Curtis rolls his eyes at his brother’s antics. “What’s wrong with you?”

Lloyd turns his head toward Curtis. “You, stop sulking and get my wallet.” Lloyd snaps at Curtis before pointing at Mike and Jake. “You two, search for any movie on any platform Y/N will like.”

He crosses his arms behind his back and marches around the kitchen. “Barber don’t get too cozy with her but keep on rubbing her back. Ari, you and Curtis will go to the bakery. We will close for the rest of the week. Get all the cupcakes and shit Jake baked. We’ll need it.”

“What’s going on?” Ransom watches his brothers hastily follow Lloyd’s order. “Where’s the fire?”

“In Y/N’s uterus. Now shut up, pretty boy, and be useful for once,” Lloyd mutters at his brother. “If you want to stay, you’ll go to the guestroom in the west wing and get me all the fluffy pillows and a warm blanket. No, make it two.”

Ransom purses his lips. He weighs his options. If he wants to be part of this family again, he must play along for now. “Fine.”

“Y/N. Cupcake,” Lloyd gently pats your hair. “What’s your favorite brand? Do you need a heating pad? What painkiller do you prefer? Lloyd will get you all you’ll need.”

Steve watches the brothers make of fuzz about your period. He rubs his chin, wondering if what he feels is more than worry.

“Good job everyone!”

Lloyd grins as you snuggle into one of the fluffy pillows. You’re wearing one of Andy’s warm sweaters and the fuzzy socks Jake got for you. Ari wrapped a warm blanket around you after Lloyd carefully put a heating pillow on your lower abdomen.

Mike chose the movies you and the brothers will watch while Andy and Jake prepared food, beverages, and sweets. Curtis is currently massaging your feet while Ransom sits on the other end of the huge U-shaped sofa.

“How do you feel,  Sweetie? Do you feel better?” Jake sits next to your head to gently pat your hair. Do you need anything else?”

“Did I buy the right stuff?” Lloyd asks. He sits on the sofa and stretches his legs out. “Damn, I didn’t know there are so many lady products out there.”

“I’m good,” you murmur and snuggle further into the pillow. The brothers took very good care of you. No one ever put so much into making you feel good. “See, if you work together, you can do anything.”

“So…this is what you do? Getting lady products and feeding a sexy girl with cupcakes,” Ransom grins. “I think I could get used to this…”

“No one asked you,” Curtis huffs. He’s still angry at Ransom for leaving them. Especially, because he used to look up Ransom when he was a kid. Curtis and Ransom shared a special bond, and now, it's broken.

“No more fighting tonight,” Andy stops the brothers from arguing again. “We have a plan, don’t we.” He subtly points at Steve watching you and the brothers from his seat. He chose to sit on an armchair, still not convinced that the brothers did not mean harm to you.

Ransom stares at Steve. He rubs his chin and wonders aloud. “Back to Captain America. Isn’t it odd that he looks so much like Grandfather Steven?”

nya headcanons that i faithfully believe

1. Nya has very visible body hair. On her arms, legs and belly. For a long time she was very bothered by the hair that can't be shaved (her arms, for example), but she learned that it is part of her and who she is. That she is no less beautiful for having more visible body hair.

2. In addition to the mole on her face, I believe she has more of these spread across her body.

3. Maya and Ray actually gave Nya the name Nyad (with the d at the end), but changed it because mini Kai couldn't pronounce it properly. Or Nya is a nickname for Nyad.

4. After certain events, she developed insomnia/anxiety, which prevented her from relaxing and resting. To be able to sleep, she started listening to music to help her sleep. Sometimes the sounds of the sea, rain or just a calm soundtrack.

5. She has a whale plush toy that was a gift from one of the boys on her birthday.

6. She redecorated her entire room after Aspheera drained her powers, bringing her back. Because she saw very beautiful things while she was the sea and still feels that connection with it.

7. The feeling of the sea calling her is still vivid and she feels it whenever she gets close to it, but not as strongly as when she was the sea.

8. After she returned to normal, some dragon-like features (the coral-like "horns") and those white symbols on her face remained.

9. She has one of those boxing things in her room. A blue one. And Jay always drools watching her punch that thing with all her anger. (She does this mainly when she's angry because Wu couldn't handle all the broken wooden equipment from the monastery anymore).

10. Even though they usually think otherwise, Nya has a huge difficulty waking up early. Even after Seabound. So Kai offers to help her with that, they train together every day very early in the Monastery's training wing.

11. Nya has never cared much about her own health. She skips meals when she's too focused on something, and she always ends up getting scolded by the boys and Pixal for it.

12. She has MANY scars on her body and she IS more muscular than Kai, Jay, Lloyd and Zane (only losing to Cole).

13. She is taller than Jay and shorter than Pixal. If I were to compare their heights, from shortest to tallest, it would be: Kai, Lloyd, Jay, Nya, Pixal, Zane and Cole.

14. She is gender fluid and, therefore, never minded the other ninjas calling her brother or treating her like a boy. They were also super nice to her when she came out to them as gender fluid. (she/him pronouns).

15. She has adhd.

I‘m thinking about that Ninjago Crossover I want to write again.

I have so many ideas I want to incorporate.

I want to make the movie ninja look up to the show ninja before they even know a thing. Depending on when the Crossover takes place, before or after the movie, the movie group will thrive in having adults like the show ninja around. Especially Lloyd will.

Show Kai looking at the kids and deciding those are his kids now. Kai eventually bringing up that he is Lloyds legal guardian. (HC: After Season 1 Kai (at the time 19) got legal custody of both Nya (16) and Lloyd (9) because there are no legal guardians for either around and that makes things more confusing. Only Garmadon knew until everyone found out after season 9.)

Show Cole insulting people loving and freaking the movie out the second he insults Show Jay. Only for Jay to snap back at him. And in turn the show gang freaking out when they do this to Movie Jay and he takes it to heart.

The movie thinking Show Zane is human, because he has a camouflage and appears human, and because he acts more human compared to his movie counterpart. The surprise when they found out, no he is a robot. The word nindroid resonating with movie Zane a lot.

The show being shocked when finding out that movie Kai and Nya are twins and that Nya is the older one. The movie freaking out about Kai being three years older than Nya and the massive age gap the OG 4 have with Lloyd (Cole - 12 years, Zane - „11 years“, Kai - 10 years, Jay - 9 years).

The show ninja just being so much stronger than the movie. Mainly because of the age and time spent as ninja already. As well as the connection the OG 4 have with each other. (Kai has the strongest grasp on it and just knows when the others need anything.)

I want to incorporate the golden weapons in some way because I miss them and just because their cool. Which means I get to throw in the vehicles they had too. So imagine Show Kai, after he finished reforging the weapons a second time, rolling up in a really cool red motorcycle. Movie Nya would love that so much.

And so much more. I crave it so bad!

I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more I hate than running into a die-hard Llorumi fan on Tik Tok.

TW: Shipping discourse and talk of abusive relationships

I ran into a llorumi fan on Tik Tok today and it was the most mind numbing experience of my entire liffeeee

They were defending their ship as if their life depended on it, saying that it’s ‘canon’ and that Lloykita (Lloyd x Akita) was worse because they ended up leaving each other for their respective realms. Like? Wtf? Then they started talking about how Harumi is better now and that Crystallized is canon and she apologized and realized that she was wrong and Lloyd forgave her

This pisses me off because Crystallized was completely weak in its writing and Harumi had no real consequences for her actions, just ‘i’m super sorry for tearing an entire city apart and partook in destroying it again’ and then Lloyd is just like ‘yeah, I believe you even though you’ve lied and manipulated me in the past with complete ease’ not saying she was lying or manipulating, but I wish we (Lloyd) was more skeptical because of her past actions.

Redemption should be a thing, but quoting one of my fav YouTubers, redemption shouldn’t be blind acceptance, and the seriousness of someone’s actions should come into play before we even begin to forgive, much less redeem

I also hate it because it’s basically just a victimizer x a victim. Lloyd is a VICTIM OF MANIPULATION. He was left chewed up and spat out after what Harumi did, compare him in seasons 9 and 10 and even season 11 to him in season 7, he was so different because he hadn’t faced a person like Harumi before. Harumi actively sought to break Lloyd down to unfixable pieces because of an incident he had no control over, that none of the ninjas had control over. She literally held him in the air to watch as his friends, his brothers, and his uncle get murdered brutally in front of him just to make him feel as empty as her. (Albeit, they didn’t die but he didn’t know that until later on) And that was AFTER she brought his dad back, manipulated Garmadon into attempting to MURDERING HIS OWN SON, and then BROADCASTED IT LIVE

Yeah guys, perfect couple of the year, look at how cute they are, oh he’s okay, he forgave her

Sorry for the rant, if you enjoy Llorumi, it ain’t my cup of tea in the slightest, but as long as your not one of the problematic ones ig

[chaellooo]

My theory abt what happen In Misako and Garmadon's absence.

Immm gonna give a benefit of a doubt that the reason why Misako and Garmadon were both absent around season 11-12 (Misako was the one absent until season 13-15, while Garmadon was until season 15, also it's canon that the GARMADON comics took place between Season 10-11)

was bcs Misako actually manage to find / locate Garmadon, after his journey from the Two Moon Village in the 'GARMADON' comics..

Let's say THAT reason is canon for now (allegedly). At some point, Misako manage to locate Garmadon. But what is her specific reason to? The last time they encounter was in S10 Finale, and it doesn't even seem like much of a friendly interaction either..

Was it curiosity? Or perhaps she's just going on another one of her research for the Explorer's Club while also looking for Garmadon as a "side quest"?.

Then eventually Misako return in the series in MOTM S13:

For some reason Lloyd and Wu looked a bit surprised that Misako is present. Yes, she could just already been around and just chimed in, but.. I like to believe that since she was previously absent, THIS scene is exactly when she returned, she was JUST done with her re-search and encountered Garmadon. And from there Misako is a recurring character again throughout season 13-15.

Then in Crystallized, Misako apparently "found something" that might help the Ninja to face the Overlord that time, a prophecy which she found while she was in the Library of Domu. But what if these studies that she had been doing wasn't just throughout crystallized? What if it's ever since she found Garmadon again? Maybe Garmadon informed her about how he can sense that the Overlord is building up his comeback, like how he's been alarming Wu through the news paper clippings?

Wu stating that these clippings had been sent to him for "months" could be a clue on how long Garmadon had already been living with Vinny. We all saw he was scattering around Ninjago, scaring away everyone that he walk past through, but we never saw how he even KNOW the address of Vinny's apartment??

The only time Vinny's address was ever mentioned in the series was in a scene at the Newspaper Warehouse. Maybe in his non destination stroll and unhelpful attempts to help ppl around across Ninjago lead him to the warehouse. That's probably how he found out the whereabouts of "possibly the wisest person he ever met", so he came to Vinny's place, looking for infinite wisdom.

Wu mentioned that it has been months that he got those clippings... it's possible that Garmadon lives with Vinny for the past few months, still pretty recent, so he probably remained homeless for a LLOONGGG time ever since his stay in the Two Moon Village in the 'GARMADON' comics

And after the events of 'GARMADON' , both him and Missko are absent.

Then eventually, they encounter each other again off screen.

But that's just a theory! A GAMMEEE THEORY

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

My new Cats find, also a Stex find surprisingly, is a little highlights album of Stex and Cats songs published here in Poland in 2005 as part of a series of highlights albums from different popular shows

The art depicting Mistoffelees and Electra was made by a Polish artist Katarzyna Słowiańska-Kucz

Translation of the back of the box and the booklet under read more

Back of the box

"In both shows Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn implemented similar techniques of loosely connected "numbers", although in case of Starlight Express they were compositions travestying most popular songs by the stars of the stage such as The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, ELO, Locomotive GT and others, which ensured it's popularity all over the world. On the other hand, in Cats they included all available genres of music with special attention on the final song of the first act, "Memory", sung by the main character of the show - Grizabella - played by Elaine Paige in the premiere London show."

Booklet left

"Starlight Express

(Stars of the stage are, like James Bond, shockingly beautiful)

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Libretto: Richard Stilgoe

Premiere: London 27 March 1984

Since the premiere till November 2002 in London alone this show had 7406 showings!!! This record number shows that just like with A. L Webber and T. Nunn's Cats from 1981 with implementation of a similar technique of loosely connected "numbers" but this time with original compositions by A. L. Webber travestying most popular songs by the stars of the stage such as The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, ELO, Locomotive GT and others, which ensured it's popularity all over the world. The confirmation of this fact is that this show played in Germany in a theatre in Bochum was seen by 10 million people, similarly in USA, Mexico, Australia and Japan."

Booklet right

"Cats

(Cats of all colours unite)

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Libretto: (based on a collection of poems by T.S. Eliot ,,Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats) Andrew Lloyd Webber i Trevor Namn

Premiere: London 11 May 1981

Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965), an American poet active in England, couldn't have imagined that his humble book of kids poems about cats would become an inspiration for the most unusual and most popular musical of the 1980s. It was possible not only thanks to him, but also an excellent playwright Trevor Nunn and most importantly the beautiful music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, who in this show basically devoid of dramaturgy put all available genres of music with special attention on the final song of the first act, "Memory", sung by the main character of the show - Grizabella - played by Elaine Paige in the premiere London show, the same one who was the first one to play the role of Evita Peron in a different famous musical by Webber."

[summertide-treehouse]

holy yapper!! here’s my take on how the tomorrow tea affected Lloyd + the Ninjas ages kinda

I’ll make a proper timeline and whatnot one day, I just did a lot of thinking about the tomorrows tea😭

The Ninja are implied to be teenagers at the start of the series, roughly 15-16. According to the Ninjago Wiki, it was stated at he was less than 10 during RotS, and Jillian Micheals told Brent Miller in an interview that Lloyd was ‘10 years old when he was first introduced and became 14 years old after using the Tomorrows Tea.” <- I have no idea how accurate that is, and since there is no canon specifications of ages otherwise that’s the closest I think we’ll get- and the one I agree with the most.

I’d like to think there was a couple months to half a year at most that took place between S1 and S2; the City had time to recover at the Great Devourers attack and the Ninja were still getting back on their feet after. With that I say S1 and 2 conjoined took a total of a year and a half roughly, so Lloyd would be 9-10, while the Ninja are 16.

When we get to Child's Play and the use of the Tomorrows Tea, Lloyd ages to 14-15 roughly. Wu mentions that because he grew physically older, the countdown to fighting Garmadon has gotten closer. Time and context seems to play a very prevalent role when using the Tomorrows Tea, since it reverse the aging of the Grundle and turned the Ninja back to their original ages. It set things right, where things need to be.

Lloyd was destined to fight Garmadon in the final battle. With all the rush on the villains side; Lloyds age was altered to catch up. I imagine he was aged to be Nya’s age; younger the Ninja, but just old enough to help. That’s the point Lloyd was aged too.

In the episode as well, we see the Ninja still retained their mental ages when they were aged down to children. Because of that alone, I don’t think Lloyd aged mentally because of the tea. It was just physical. The entire season was focused on training Lloyd to be ready to fight Garmadon anyway, so it only makes sense that only his body changed.

As well, after he aged and confronted Garmadon again, every instance he fought him he either hesitated, or couldn’t actually bring himself to hurt his father. It’s a heavy toll on anyone, regardless of age, but in Lloyds case especially, he is a child, it’s a much larger obstacle to overcome. We see Lloyd prioritizes physical training more in this situation, he himself overlooking the fact that just yesterday it was okay for him to do childish things. I don’t think Lloyd realizes that he’s not entirely “older”, and if he did I feel like that wouldn’t change his feelings, if anything it might push him to train harder so there’s nothing holding him back.

That said, I don’t think the tea’s affects are permanent either. Lloyds mindset is still growing, just behind his physical age. I think Lloyd will be “stuck” being 14 until he becomes 14, and once both of his ages line up again, he will continue to age as normal.

Because of the amount of change that happened between S2 and S3, I’m going to say there was at LEAST a year timeskip between the Seasons. The Ninja are now 16-17, Nya at 15-16, and Lloyd, though physically 14, now 11-12 at most.

I don’t like the headcannon that Lloyd doesn’t know his own age or his birthday ( even if it was funny ), but I still imagine he’s still grieving his own childhood, even though he doesn’t have too. I believe it was said somewhere that Lloyd was off training in the first part of the S3 due to his Golden Power, I like to think Lloyd felt the need to dive into his own training, both to distract from what he’s lost, and because of his own belief that, since he’s older, he has to act older. I’m sure this was encouraged by the others / his father too, but not something he was pressured into doing; Lloyd seemed very eager to train late S2 and during S3, I just headcannon that it’s a bit of coping mechanism as well, even if it’s a little bittersweet.

tales of symphonia is fun relationships wise bc genis definitely has a crush on presea and mithos and Neither of them is interested . they're both 16-4000 years older than him and he does not realize . he's still gonna try to befriend them no matter what.

meanwhile zelos lloyd and colette have something going on that may or may not include sheena, but sheena is also definitely kissing raine outside of their polycule

and in the background regal and presea are inlaws and just kinda hanging out w each other. regal and kratos give each other advice on dealing with the guilt of killing your lover and the cowardice of death/suicide but also the best grilling methods and brag abt their son's achievements to each other even though they are both talking about lloyd .
