Uncle Kruuuuux 🙏🙏

Haven't draw Max in a while

[radio-maya]

I've been wanting to draw Max for a long time (how cute he is!), but I couldn't get my hands on it. The day before yesterday I finally decided to get to work! I didn't know how to draw him, so I decided to draw Max, but only from my fan version (which I'm a little ashamed to write about, so I won't).

I present Max to you!

Day 16: AU

Of course I was gonna redraw the Dad Acronix AU. Haven’t seen this AU in forever. I still find it adorable.

This AU belongs to @the-ninjago-girl here. (Haven’t seen her in forever. Hope she’s alright.)

Also sorry for making him skinny, I was using a Mellon-soup pose as reference and unfortunately he was disproportionate.

[quicksilverdaisyday]

i’ve mentioned my “acronix is kai’s dad” au to like three people but i’ve been rotating it in my head for literally five years. idk i think it’d be funny and fucked up

[bookbokoblin]

I have too much free time and an abundance of cringe in my grasp, so I have done the only thing I could while I wait for more Kai content…

I made a Ninjago x Miraculous LB au.

Jay Walker - he lives in a smaller house with his adopted parents. He is always making machines to do tasks or just to decorate his room. he is outgoing in class and wants nothing more than to be close to Nya. Though he has some self-esteem issues he is always there to lend a helping hand.{miraculous of the ladybug - Tentomushi}

Cole Brookstone - His dad works at a dance studio and really wants Cole to join. Instead, he focuses on art and music. Sometimes him and Jay make sets for the tech crew. Though Cole refuses to audition for a part. He will do anything to protect his friends, and stands up to all who are unjust.{Miraculous of the turtle - Kame}

Zane Julien - His dad was an inventor and homeschooled Zane until the French equivalent of high school. He is very educated in science and mathematics, but doesn’t always get the arts. He wants to learn painting and practices with Cole. He wants to make sure his family is safe. {Miraculous of the dragon - Ryu}

Kai Smith - Hot-headed and loud. Practically raised Nya himself, and his whole life is built on carefully structured lies. He doesn’t have a good relationship with his parents. Though he is their ‘miracle child’ so they dote on him. He doesn’t trust them, and they lie to him often. Though favored by his parents he has a bad reputation among teachers and students.

{Miraculous of the fox - Kitsune}

Nya Smith - Very smart and loves robotics. She says she doesn’t care about boys but Kai has seen how she talks about Tentomushi. Her parents push her to succeed in everything ever, demanding perfection. She knows Kai is overprotective and wants nothing more than to destroy the pedestal her parents crafted for themselves.{miraculous of the cat - Neko}

Pixal Borg - Lives with her father who works at a tech company. She is very literal and very smart. Often struggles to control her sarcasm yet also struggles with brutal honesty. Is dating Zane (they know each other’s identity). 

{miraculous of the horse - Kisouma} 

Lloyd Garmadon - lives with his uncle Wu, who seems to know a suspicious amount about the miraculous. (He was the last Ladybug). He isn’t popular since his dad is commonly rude and forceful. Once Tentomushi and Neko recover the peacock he joins the team. 

{miraculous of the peacock - Kannon}

First Spinjitzu Master - the guardian. No one has ever seen him, not even the miraculous wearers. 

Krux - Main villain. Big bad. He wants to get the miraculous for his wish. More than anything he always to reverse time and make it so that Wu didn’t defeat him and kill his brother. Big brain, the smart twin. (He recruited the influential Ray and Maya by allowing them to have a kid, Kai, using the Peacock). 

{miraculous of the butterfly - Flying Time}

Acronix - younger twin who was killed in the first fight with Wu. In the events of this AU, he is replaced with a sentimonster and uses the peacock miraculous when Krux asks. He is unaware he isn’t a real person but is allowed a lot of freedom in personality. (Not Krux’s main priority). 

{miraculous of the peacock - Aglais io}

Ray and Maya - they own a large mechanical firm, and manage to make a lot of vehicles and other tools for Krux. They met him as his ‘Dr. Sanders’ disguise. He promised he could help them have a child if they helped him with his ‘family issues’. They hastily signed the contract and are now stuck working for him. (Krux made Kai using the peacock miraculous). Somehow the process allowed them to have Nya naturally.

{past holders of the mouse and snake}

I will answer questions to the best of my ability!

[the-bundroid]

So a few days ago I was thinking about ‘what if the time twins had a little bit more motive besides them wanting to rule ninjago or something’, then I had two caffeine drinks and an hour later this was on my screen, its a big text blurb so its under the cut but yeah, might call it ‘Sins of the Father’ au

-Krux and Acronix’s Father, who I’m calling Kronos, started gaining a superiority complex about his elemental power. At some point he crashes out and goes after the FSM and one way or another is banished to the Cursed Realm, all before the twins are born

-The FSM finds their mother and warns her to not tell the kid about their time powers so that they dont follow in their fathers footsteps. And since she genuinely doesnt know what else to do in this situation she agrees and never tells the twins.

-Since two twins sharing the same elemental power hadnt been heard of before, both her and the FSM never realized Acronix had half of the time powers, so she mainly kept her eye on Krux. He accidently learns about his powers after reversing the mold on some bread, and told his mom. She told him to try and not ise them again. She has to repeat this multiple times and Krux starts to think that she thinks he’s INHERENTLY dangerous. So far Acronix is the only other person who knows

-But someone discovered Krux’s powers because he’s stubborn and still used them for practicality sometimes. Word got out and he started using his powers to help. It started small with just reverse mold on certain things. Some people though kept away from him due to fear of his powers

-Eventually, Acronix hears about Chen and his training thing and, after making sure his brother will be fine without him, goes off to learn to fight. He meats Garmadon there which plays into how the twins get into the alliance

-While acronix was away, demands got bigger and more people made assumptions about how his powers worked. Some people speculated he could see into the past if he tried hard enough. They ALSO assumed that he could also speed up and slow down time, and also see into the near future. His mom tried to help by finding ways for him to actually train, but he still felt a little resentment due to everything from earlier <-(this hit discord text limit)

-Eventually Acronix discovers his own time powers while training and immediatly begs Chen to let go home for a few days, and surprisingly is allowed. He rushed home and told his brother first, Krux felt both relieved and dread because while he wont be blamed by townspeople for not telling them omens, now his brother will be. Krux warns him about it and urges him not to to everyone else, but Acronix goes and tells other townsfolk anyways because he doesnt want his brother to be blamed for not giving people omens when he literally cant

-After a few days Acronix has to leave but urges Krux to actually come visit because the townspeople lowkey suck, Krux eventually does go visit from time to time, meeting Garmadon as well.

-Some time passes and Garmadon invites both to join the Elemental Alliance, they immediatly join because their mom passed away so now they really dont have much to stay for. Shits all cool for a bit

-But the FSM left behind notes about different events and people Wu and Garmadon should watch out for, including Kronos. Upon meeting the twins Wu, panicked because the FSM didnt actually know Kronos had kids, hid all the stuff about Kronos because he was worried that it would cause the twins to crashout (Wu feels a lot of guilt how he handle it).

-Acronix is actually the one who found it after snooping around and immediatly tells Krux. The writings were unfortunatly vague about their dad’s motive, and the twins had already had a few disagreements with Wu, and it was in a place that was very obvisouly supposed to keep it hidden, so it wasnt hard for both of them to get into the mindset of ‘what if dad was right to crashout?’

-a lot of the same stuff happens, timeblades are created and the time portal stuff

[what I got for the next bits so far, I might change this around later]

-Kronos somehow funds a way to temporarily escape the cursed realm and finds Krux pretty soon after the timeblade event occurs and lets Krux talk about his life first and then after that Kronos comes up with a made up reason to why the FSM killed him in the first place based on what Krux says to try and make their backstories similar. Krux is still in a pretty vulnerable state after not only losing his powers but also his brother so he doesnt question it too much and clings onto whatever he can

-Ray and Maya are still kidnapped and put into a weird cave system (also assume any weird timeline stuff is just fixed in the au so timing makes sense) which is when Krux first starts to question his dad. He tries to let them ‘escape’ but the cave is like cursed or something idk

-the second major thing was Kronos trying to get Krux to kill a baby Lloyd [Im getting into EPIC: the mysical rn so oops, might end up removing this altogether] because Kronos has a major grudge against FSM for obvious reasons, which he did not do whatsoever. They fight and Kronos is like ‘Brooo its just a joke man. I wanted to see what you were capable of. Anyways dont abandon our plan you want to see your brother right? My dad did this with me too btw im just trying to be a good dad, dont be ungrateful’ But in a more manipulative way than that and Krux feels guilty and to himself is like ‘I guess I can just, wait for Acronix then see what he wants to do about it’

-In the season4 era Krux is surprisingly invited to the tournoment of elemements. He doesnt particpate but instead secretly watches because he’s heard of the ninja and wants to asses the invevitable threat they’ll pose to him. He notices the cursed realm stuff and is like ‘oh! If I figure out a permenant way to free my dad he will be proud!’ Despite all the issues he has with him

-Season5 ending changes, there’s like a domino effect where when Krux goes into the cursed realm it gives someone else idk who the oppurtunity to get garmadon out because I miss him and its my au, also Morro is actually saved so yay!

[Im probably changing a lot of this soon but yeah thats what me with double the usual amount of caffeine and an hour can make]

Sorry I got Pink Ninja AU on the brain this evening and :]

Stuff under cut cause I am going to ramble

SO ACRONIX

I Have not said this officially in any post yet and since this au is gonna be retired sometime in the future I think it's only fair to give the full backstory to what the hell has been going on with the timeline.

So hear we go! The OG timeline.

Warning for mentions of abuse, murder, and essentially skybound 2.0(?)

In the timeline, the EMs had to deal with not just the Serpentine spurred by Chen, but with the royal ninjagen empire.

The Emperor wanted EMs to become private soldiers for their armies, but some of the EMs are from neighboring kingdoms so- no???

Anyways, Acronix wanted nothing more than to start figuring out what the hell to do with his life. With him and Krux the youngest EMs of the group, they were tasked with protecting the kin of the current EMs. Cue Lilly.

Lilly was old enough to inherent Earth but her dad sucks and is kind of sexist, but jokes on him. Lilly is his only child and he's too old by the time he tries looking for a successor.

Lilly and Aceonix train and hang out during their time waiting out the worst of the Serpentine War and fall in love.

Krux wasn't happy that his only family was starting to go off on their own, so Krux started causing issues and pushing for him and Acronix to have more power in the group.

Siding with Chen, Acronix finds his brother intentionally being evil and tries to talk him out of it. It doesn't work, Acronix then goes along with it to hopefully get his brother back.

Well you know how that goes. He can't convince Krux, suspects that the council will take away their powers somehow, and he'll have to be imprisoned.

HE WAS NOT EXPECTING A TIME VORTEX TO TRAP HIM FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

Before the vortex, he met with Lilly one night to talk things over. She knows what he's been up to and wants him to stop. But he can't, he has to convince Krux to stop. But if he keeps siding with Krux...

How will he ever be there for his child?

And there we have it folks. The big twist.

Acronix is Cole's father.

Lilly thought she had to raise Cole alone, but Lou was always there. Even if he was only Lilly's best friend, he loved her.

Cole never knew his bio dad, but he did know the man that actually raised him before his mother passed.

And as years passed, Cole grew up in a small town and eventually moved closer to the city when his mom became sick.

There he met Candyce. The two were set in the same class and became instant friends.

But Candyce's family were known to be low-level royals. A connection to one of the royal cousins through her father. But his dream was to bake, and that infuriated the wife he married. Who only married him for his status.

What Candyce didn't know was that on her mother's side, their family were the few of EMs to join the empire. Her family were known to hold the power of Fauna, to turn into animals.

Her oldest brother, Lillard, got the power. And her mom encouraged him to use it in the worst way possible. And he did.

Candyce and Cole ran away a bit after Lilly died, and things progressed further.

Lillard was caught doing horrific things, but falsely promising change from him- his mother sent him off to a school deeper in the city to keep him from serving any time in juvie and eventually prison.

At the school, his main goal was to party around, ruin more lives, and live long enough to get his mothers's spot back in the royal family.

Along his massive list of ruined lives, Jay was sadly in it. He got a scholarship to go, and as a freshman, barely 14- he met Lillard, 19, and turned 20 only a month in dating.

Lillard did unspeakable things to Jay, and Jay ran for it when worst came to shove. Lillard ran after him, tried to kill Jay, but several witnesses were starting to catch onto the scene and Lillard bolted, leaving Jay to die and Wu to discover them barely alive at the side of a sewer canal.

Jay lived, and terrified of Lillard getting ahold of him, agreed to join Wu.

Zane was a bit after, thankfully unharmed by anything, and the four (Candyce, Cole, Jay, and Zane) all lived in the Monastery with Wu training them.

Lillard eventually got what he wanted. But for him to secure a place back in the Emperor's rank, he was tasked to investigate rumors of a old enemy (Wu) recruiting new members for the Elemental Council.

Lillard tracks down the four, and finds Jay there. With Cole. He's not happy to know he had a EM in his grasp a year ago, but he figured capturing Jay and killing the rest would be enough.

He tries following them back to the Monastery, but found that he couldn't find the stair leading up the mountain. Like a mental fog over took him while he searched.

He then plotted to stake out the base of the mountain for some of the group to come back down.

And one day, he got them.

Cole and Candyce were lazing about when Wu chastised them, and for an idea- why not go hiking? The two were used to moving through thick forest terrain. And the two did kinda miss being free spirits.

They head down, they play and bicker, and eventually they get to a point where they feel they can sit down for water and snacks.

They hear rustling from the bushes.

They freeze up unsure of what's near them.

Something rushes from the bushes.

Candyce tries to shield herself.

Cole jumps in the way.

Lillard kills Cole. And Candyce watches in horror.

She pulls a blade she took in the case of cutting down blocking debris, but it was used to slash at Lillard's face. Cutting at his eyes and nose.

She didn't know it was him, as he was in the form of a beast.

As Lillard retreated, Candyce grabbed Cole and hurried back to the Monastery screaming for help. But it was far too late.

Wu blamed himself for the next few years, thinking if he hadn't sent the two down, then Cole would still be alive. That the odd beast that attacked them may of hunted for anything other than them.

Candyce shut herself off from the others, blaming herself for not reacting fast enough. If she did, then Cole wouldn't of jumped in front of her.

Jay and Zane mourned their friends and tried keeping spirits up, but they were broken. Jl

Jay loved Cole, but he never moved past the pain of his last relationship to confess. Zane loved Candyce, but she pushed him away and refused his comfort.

Two years later, and Kai joined. He wanted to rescue his sister and Nya was back in record time.

Jay tried moving on and took interest in Nya, but something felt off about her. He can't put his finger on it.

Lloyd joins, and Candyce is quick to take him in against the others' complaints. But Lloyd reminds her of when Cole was young and bratty, acting like he was the defacto leader of their adventures, and that helped cheer her up a bit.

The great battle happens. Without Cole, Lloyd's powers are not dulled enough to keep the golden power from consuming him and Garmadon. Both son and father die.

Then the Overlord returns, Zane sacrifices himself. And a year later, the lure to rescue him from Chen's Island is a total lie.

Wu goes to the Cursed Realm to stop Chen's Faux-Anacondrai war. Leaving Misako to soon abandon the rest of the surviving Ninja.

Nya and Kai decide to leave, and they take Jay with them. Jay, with no Cole to quarrel with, never broke up with Nya. And the three leave Candyce alone up on the mountain.

Candyce tries to pull help from previous allies, even the new EMs that have chosen to use their powers to help the public. But something is stirring, and the Empire once again are trying to hunt after the new EMs for their private armies.

Back with the three, Kai notices that Nya's anger has made her more and more unhinged. Spotting her destroying (Jay's) things, messing up (Jay's) things, blaming others for her problems. He catches on that Jay is terrified of Nya, and he already covers his face or covers when his sister is raging.

He pulls Jay aside when Nya goes off on her own mission as Samurai X, and Jay confesses that Nya is heavily reminding him of his abusive ex. And while she's only screamed and broken his things, at least she hasn't beaten him.

Kai is sickened, guilty that he's seen his sister effectively become a abuser in their own home. And he decides right there that it was for the best if Jay was removed from the house.

The two pack up and quickly leave in the night before Nya can wake, and they go back to the one spot they know they can safely rest. The Monastery.

Candyce is surprised to see them, but it happy they're back at all. She told what Nya has been doing and she agrees to let Jay stay. Kai wants to go back and talk to Nya.

But as he returns to Ignacia- the rice farmers and neighbors are telling him that his family home has burned to the ground, and Nya was nowhere to be found.

He goes back to Jay and Candyce to tell them what's up, but hears frightening news. Nya, in her worst rage yet, went and about destroyed the Junkyard to scare Ed and Edna into telling her where Jay and her brother were.

The three decide that they should rally the EMs and look to vacate asap. If Nya didn't find Jay and Kai at the Junkyard, then her next stop was most likely the Monastery.

Skylor agrees to let them hide on her father's old island, freed to the Kabuki Girls, who now run the place with Skylor's financial assistance. The EMs meet back to hear about Nya's rampage and the Empire's revived plan to capture them.

Meanwhile, Acronix has been released from the vortex and is tracked down by Krux. It's not long for him to realize his brother has not changed. At all. In fact, he's gotten worse.

Krux has taken pay from the Emperor to create and raise the Vermillion Army to strengthen the numbers against the new Elemental Alliance. And since he hasn't been around for about 20 years now, it's best if Acronix got the run down of what Krux has done in the short amount of time given.

He's tracked down and killed Arthur (the previous Ice EM), kidnapped and gifted Libby to King Vangelis to bear his only child, he's trapped Ray and Maya on the threat of killing their children! Oh- and the best part-

Krux had successfully worked with Vangelis alongside the Emperor to poison and slowly kill Lilly.

Acronix is... he's...

He asks where Ray and Maya are being kept. Krux says the small shed in the middle of the Vermillion Swamp.

Are they alive. Yes.

Was it worth it? Krux says it will be when they're the ones ruling Ninjago in the end.

Acronix waits for his brother to turn away. He cannot believe that he's been so foolish. All this time he was trying to steer away a fate he thought Krux was blind to.

But Krux knew all along what he wad doing.

So Acronix chews on his decision, asking Krux more questions. And Krux is happy that he has his dumb little twin listening to him like old times...

And time ran out for Krux. The second he had his back exposed, Acronix used a sharp metal strip he took earlier from Krux's workbench- and stabbed him dead.

He didn't know what to do with the body, but looking at it- all Acronix could see was a younger version of his brother bleeding out, gasping for air as the life seeped out of them. Like back in the war, before Krux went down this path.

Acronix somehow wishes he could've left his brother for dead back then, if he knew of the future. But now it's... it's too late. He can't save his love, his son is dead. God knows what was or is the fate to the remaining kids involved.

He frees Ray and Maya, and with the Vermillion under his control (as told by Krux), he chooses to use the snakes to seek out any EMs to make contact with.

But Ray and Maya are distraught, showing their powers are again working for them.

Which means-

Cut back to a month.

The EMs have been dealing with the Emperor sending waves of soldiers after them, and having to battle their own in some capacity. EMs that've long since deemed lost or missing due to them joining the royal ranks.

Nya is among them, as Lillard has tracked her down. Spilling lies to her angry heart that Wu was a villain, using her and her brother to usurp the Emperor as per his and Garmadon's ultimate plan made way long ago.

A final fight was pushed to the Emperor's palace where most EMs were captured, but the trio had evaded the royal army. As Candyce went to break them free, Kai and Jay confronted Nya.

Jay went down first, then Kai-

Then Candyce snuck up from behind and chopped Nya's head off.

The place was in flames, falling apart. And Candyce only raced back to her friends' side only to arrive too late. Even with Nya dead, she felt like no one was really saved in the end.

The palace was consumed by flames, she was trapped with nowhere to go. So she sat there, waiting for the flames to eat her.

Acronix, Ray and Maya, and the escaped EMs watched on with pain as the last of the Palace remains were picked though, bodies of royal and EMs were found.

The surviving retreated back to the island to talk about what to do. Even with Ray back, the other Elements of Creation were gone to the wind.

Machia, the commander at that point, spoke to Acronix of Krux's true plan. To go back to the past and change fate to where the Time Twins were the victors.

Acronix didn't doubt for a second that Krux never let their defeat leave his head. Hell- it what motivated the monster behind the scenes.

The time blades are brought back to focus, and the EMs agree to track them down. If not a full reset, then at least to a point where a majority of the Ninja could be saved.

Acronix pushes for him to be the only one to go back. As it was his failure to intervene that caused this massive domino effect. Maya and Ray are suspicious, yet quickly change their tune when reminded of Krux's body left rotting in the museum's hidden dungeon.

They get to Borg, pleading with him to make a machine to help Acronix go back. Pixal urges her father since Zane would then have a chance to live in the new timeline.

With the machine completed, Acronix goes back. A single memory in his head as time warps around him.

... It's a nice calm night, he's standing along a long stream. Stones tiny and circular are stacked in odd towers, and small stagnant pools are full of frogs. The crickets are chirping against the dead silence. Fireflies hug the wet grass and glow in uneven spurses. And not too far from him, a woman approaches.

She's crying, saying something that he can't hear. He tries to recall why his hearing is so bad. And then it comes back. The hours earlier, they had to fight the EM of sound. Their screaming rung his ears and he was uncertain if he was going deaf.

His eyes stay on her lips, reading her words as she tries to beg him. He knows but doesn't know what she's saying. She stops and stares at him, and turns to leave-

"Lilly. Lilly, please stop. Please." He hangs his head down. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Lilly."

He didn't look up to see if she stopped.

"I know. I know what I am doing is wrong. I never should have listened to him. I never should have believed I could change his mind."

Tear bleared his vision, the rocks under his feet meshed into one thick gray haze.

"Please. I don't want to do this. I don't."

His chin was lifted, and in the moonlight was her. Her own tears have dropped.

"Then stop," he barely heard her past the ringing in his ears. "Stop and come back home. Lou is worried about you. I'm worried about you."

He carefully reached out, placing a hand over hers. Squeezing it to make sure it was her and really her.

"I- I have to stop this. I can't let him destroy everything."

"We can stop him, togeth-"

"No. Krux has... I- I know. I know. He has to be stopped. He won't let anyone close to him besides me."

"... Nix..."

"... Go home, Lilly. By the end of this week, Krux will be taken care of. Until then, I want you... I want you to go home, be with him. Stay put, stay safe."

The end of the week came. Krux was ready to storm the Monastery with Acronix by his side.

He was at the doors when he felt a sharp sensation in his chest.

The doors swung open, and the alliance were ready to fight-

Krux staggered in, barely able to get a word out before he dropped to the ground. A sharp dagger lodged right in his back.

There Acronix stood, at the doorway, taking off the ridiculous helmet his brother made them wear to match.

He felt memories ebb away as he watched his brother bleeding out, gasping for air as the life seeped out of them.

He looked to the alliance and stood there as everyone inspected Krux's body and detained him for safety.

But Acronix sighed an air of relief as he saw his brother's body be covered by a sheet.

The timeline was fixed.

[kyokittymeow]

I forgot about my boy Max 😔✊

[the-ninjago-girl]

Catch me over here remembering about my smith-garmadon triplets au and dad Acronix au like:

[ninjakitten1699]

I saw ur time triplets post and now I’m interested, care to share more?

Ah yes, my boys. I call them my boys even though I don't post them as much anymore but still.

Let me just put this in the simplest way possible without spoiling anything from my AU not just for your sake, but for mine too cause the AU only has season one rebuilt as of now.

There's Krux, Acronix, and Phoenix. Krux and Acronix are both named after programs like their mother, Cittrix (a name I kinda snatched from @s0l0b0d0r because I thought it was neat, I love it and it makes so much sense to me) while Phoenix was named something Greek-related like their father Kronos. (A character who was supposed to be the Hands of Time villain but he got scrapped and turned into twins. The fandom agrees that he did exist at some point. Mostly he's been headcanoned as the father of the Time Siblings which gives him the ultimate dad pun of being called "Father Time")

These three happened mostly because of there being three hands on a clock, the hour (Krux), the minute (Acronix), and the seconds (Phoenix). No one really counts the seconds hand often so no one really thought of there being three instead of two. However there is an in-universe reason why they thought it two. I'll get to that in a bit.

Anyways, let's get this started down below.

The simplest way to explain them is this:

Krux is the eldest of the three as per usual with his role. He gained the ability to halt and reverse time.

Acronix is debatably the youngest. (I honestly want to keep him as the youngest because it’s absolutely funny that he’d be last born despite his powers and the reaction he’d get from that info.) From his father he received Accelerate and Decelerate Time.

Phoenix definitely gives middle child energy with him basically being in the background at most times. Now, he actually wasn’t going to biologically inherit a power at all. It was going to skip over him because well.. he wasn’t supposed to be there. (He was not supposed to survive a few days after birth so yeah…) So his father gave him an ability himself. It was Time Theft.

We know how Krux’s and Acronix’s powers work but we don’t know Phoenix’s powers that well. Time Theft is basically a life-stealing ability. It can affect objects and beings while the user could extend their life much longer. Like the other time abilities, it's been given a color and that would be purple. Purple has a different meaning in Japan so there's a reason why Phoenix rarely ever uses this power, let alone use it on purpose.

Anyways, aside from their powers, I'm sure you noticed by the art that they decided to all do different looks to avoid further confusion than they already had in their childhood. Other than that, they were an inseparable trio of siblings which proceeds to make the next thing I'm about to type hurt.

It's no secret in my AU that they were triplets and they would be manipulated by Chen with a touch of Clouse's magic. They would turn on the Elemental Alliance and their allies. During one of the battles, Phoenix got separated from the other two by Luther, the previous master of darkness, and Clarissa, a Dragon Samurai woman. The battle between Phoenix and those two led to someone using magic to banish him outside of all time itself. (I believe Clouse had a hand in that since he saw how much of a threat Phoenix was compared to the other two with his Time Theft ability.) Phoenix would now be stuck in an unending loop of finding his timeline, trying to help any version of his brothers, failing and heading back to the timeless void itself. Being cut to the outside of existence would cause memories of that person to be eradicated. (ie Frisk in Glitchtale)

Meanwhile during their battle with the Spinjitzu Brothers, Krux and Acronix had felt a rage like no other. They had no idea why they felt that way and that clouded their judgement and caused them to lose. And for the rest of their lives, they presumed themselves as if they were always twins, not knowing they were triplets who lost a sibling. Despite thinking they're twins, they still feel like they're missing someone important.

I can't reveal more about Phoenix because my AU had only just managed to begun being rewritten and there's still some spaces to fill in and things to expand upon. I will say this.

Fanon Phoenix's theme (the Phoenix @alena-1987 knows the most) is definitely Clocks by Coldplay.

Original Phoenix's theme, when I had no idea of his personality or what to do with him, is Victorious by Skillet.

Now new/canon Phoenix's intro theme is stuck between Diabolic Clockwork by Two Steps from Hell and Haunted Clock by Gothic Storm. You can tell by the themes how his tone supposed to be. (Haunted Clock sounds like he's building something and you can only guess what that is.) It keeps the clockwork theme like his brothers but he's also supposed to have an eerie-type of feeling around him.

While Rise of the Vermillion is in Krux and Acronix's point of view (as purplefern pointed out in the comments) and I do like the other two themes he's got going for him, Phoenix's final battle theme would no doubt be "Time Claims All" by Damien Casteel. Something that would be further indicating how different he became from his former self and his brothers with Krux and Acronix keeping a high-energetic Heavy Metal theme while Phoenix picks up Orchestra with a hint of melancholy and dread. (Purple is one of the colors of death in Japan after all.)

[ninjago-happens-here]

NInjago AU- Ninjago but it was Autistic!Lloyd's coping mechanism for real life

I'm inspired by that one Harry Potter headcanon where they said Hogwarts was a coping fantasy for Harry so yeah time to get gritty.

Garmadon is an abusive father in the fact that he has anger management issues. So sometimes he's really kind with Lloyd but sometimes he isn't. It got worst after Misako left the family. Lloyd was using the analogy of 'great devourer blood' as an explanation as to why his father was turning evil.

Darkley's School for Bad Boys is just your average Elementary school where they were a bit more mean to Lloyd because he's essentially parentless

In sometime Lloyd leaves his own home because he's scared of Garmadon and goes to his uncle. His uncle takes him in. Now, his uncle is a martial arts teacher and actually has 4 top students: Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole.

The green ninja prophecy was just a thing that Lloyd used to illustrate the 4 fighting each other in order to become Wu's protege and inherit the dojo as well as Wu's technique.

Lloyd have actually met the 'ninja' is Juvenile / tuition and he starts to form a bond with them outside of the dojo. Inside, he's getting trained.

Wu finally told them all that Lloyd was going to inherit the dojo, because he felt that he was slowly nearing death's edge. The great devourer analogy is used here as well.

Evil business corporates, which Kai calls 'snakes', which transforms them into snakes in Lloyd's mind, tries to get the land back from the dojo. So S1 culminates into Wu dying and Garmadon managing to save the dojo.

Of course, the 'ninja' didn't want Lloyd to move back with Garmadon. S2 E1 happens pretty similarly in real life, where the ninja try to find jobs to support Lloyd as well as a good living space for him, because whilst Garmadon had saved the dojo, Wu hadn't written a will and his house is given back to the government.

Throughout S2, the Ninja are fighting a legal battle in order to keep Lloyd from Garmadon. It all ends when Lloyd tells the court that he'd rather be with the Ninja.

Tomorrow's tea is also an analogy as to how Lloyd feels more grown up himself, and in this AU Lloyd just matured by understanding that Garmadon doesn't provide a safe home for him.

Zane actually died in S3. It wasn't a computer virus, but rather, a real life one. Lloyd actually spent some time with his father because of quarantine and the ninja not being able to live together. But Zane couldn't die to a virus! The robot joke cemented Zane as a 'robot' in Lloyd's mind. Rather, Zane just had high functioning autism and the ninja didn't understand it at first but quickly realised what was going on.

I like to think of S4 as an analogy of Lloyd entering middle chool, and he was just sitting for an exam, trying to beat out other students and thinking of the principal/teacher of the school, 'Mr Chen', as the true villain because whoever was setting the questions was evil. He actually works together with his classmates to prepare for the exam and found that by working together, he got a higher grade. He still sees Zane, unable to ccept his death. S4 is also the death of the 'good' Garmadon, and Lloyd's accepted that his kind father was no more.

S5 is just Lloyd dealing with his trauma and abuse. He too may display signs of anger management issues. Lloyd calls this angry side of him 'Morro', and Cole feels like he has bipolar disorder, so they get him diagnose and on meds. Slowly, Lloyd feels the influence of Morro draining out of him, such as Morro not possessing Lloyd as much. He feels like Morro has disappeared, but really, it's just him accepting himself.

S6 was just a weird dream Lloyd had, he must have been asked too many questions by Jay about relationships with Nya since Lloyd is seen as Kai's younger brother.

S7 was just Nya and Kai dealing with their parental issues , aka news that their missing parents were found. Krux and Acronix were kidnappers and held them captive for years.

S8, now that is, ooh. Harumi is a girl Lloyd has a crush on in middle school, and Lloyd's heard rumours that his dad would do anything to get him back. 'Sons of Garmadon' was born through too many ruours and Lloyd just refers to that as a simplification of everything that was happening. He didn't know that Harumi was a trap set by his father, and when he tried to escape by fighting his father he couldn't win. he was sent to the hospital.

Unfortunately, Garmaodn had become a very influential person and sent Kai, Jay, and Cole (and Zane, Lloyd's mind supplies) overseas for their work. This left Nya shielding Lloyd. Together with Skylor, Kai's friend and crush, and PIxal, Zane's girlfriend, they try to tough through the extreme legal battles in order for Lloyd to remain separate.

S9 ending is just Lloyd making his father understand his decision to not go with him. With the fight draining out of him, Garmadon turns himself into the police, trying not to hurt Lloyd anymore.

S10 is the final legal battle where Lloyd tries to remain with the 'ninja'. The oni are Garmadon's workers and now find themselves out of a job. Of course they look to Lloyd for the heir to a Mafia that Garmadon was head of. Lloyd and his father have to work things out legally, and the years away from the other person caused the air between them both to be very awkward. They didn't understand each other at all.

Maya goes full Hama au

[Wu and Garmadon sitting in lawn chairs under an umbrella waiting for Acronix to pop out of the time stream. Maya is cloudgazing and fanning herself while Ray is sharpening his sword in another lawn chair. Kai and Nya are napping.]

Lloyd: Dad I thought you preached against vengeance and violence?

Garmadon: Oh I’m not participating in it actively. But if they want snacks and moral support I’m here for them.

Lloyd: That’s kinda nice but evil.

Garmadon: They’re blackmailing me over the whole Nya kidnapping.

Lloyd: Oh. What’s Uncle doing here?

Wu: Oh I’m here to warn Acronix and give him a little head start.

[ A loud bang is heard as the time stream opens up.]

Maya: Kids it’s murder time!

Ray: Remember the plan!

[ An unholy amount of weapons appears from the gathered Smith family.]

Nya: Leave no survivors! I’ve been waiting for this for years!

I presume Wu was blackmailed into divulging the date and time of Acronix's arrival?

i wanted time twins and morro content so here

to anyone just introduced to the au, harial is morro. in the au morro was a name given to them by the preeminent, and harial is their dead name (theyre nonbinary). this takes place in the past.

its not my best writing nor am i very proud of it but eh whatever

A loud knock jolted the boy from his sleep. His head jerked up from where it had been buried in his pillow and he stared at the door blankly for a few seconds. The boy was vaguely aware of the dried tears staining his cheeks from last night’s sob session, and he raised one hand to try and wipe them off with his sleeve.

“Harial,” the voice that spoke up was stern and frustrated, making the boy- Harial, as he had been called- squirm unpleasantly. “Get out here, I don’t have time for this. I’ve been trying to wake you up for half an hour now.”

Harial paused, silently wondering if it had been that long. He got up nonetheless, refusing to dwell on how much he likely upset his temporary caretaker. Wu was out for the summer to try and find new students — he was mostly looking for other Elemental Masters, but so far everyone was too old or too young. So he was given to the former Master of Time, Aeturnus, until Wu would return.

When the door opened, Harial’s hand swiftly slipping off of the doorknob (he always hated the feel of metal), the older man gave a relieved sigh. He stood a good height taller than Harial, who, even though he was already nearly ten, was significantly short. His mop of black hair was a lot neater than his sons’ hair.

Speaking of those sons, the sound of yelling and scuffling in a nearby area made Harial realize the pair were probably nearby. Aeturnus seemed to come to the same conclusion, letting out an exhausted sigh and not saying anything else to Harial. The boy watched as he walked off towards the direction of the twins, left hovering awkwardly without anything to do.

Harial watched the empty hallway for a few seconds before heading back into his room, snagging the hairbrush that rested on the counter as he went. He settled on the edge of the pale white bed, brushing the tangles from his hair.

“Hari!” The youngest of the twins, Acronix, suddenly appeared in the room with a flash of green light. Harial jumped, staring at him, as the twin grinned widely in a sort of triumphant way. “I got you something, since your dad is out and can’t do it. You wanna see? I promise you’ll like it!”

Harial blinked in confusion but slowly nodded, scooting aside on the seat. Acronix let out a laugh and shut the door so no one else would come in. His hands were tight around a cardboard box that Harial didn’t really notice before. He moved to sit beside the boy, resting the box on the bed between the two of them, and flipped open the lid.

“Take a look, Hari,” Acronix encouraged, moving to cross his legs. His grin never faded. “I got him off the streets and it looked like he had bad owners before so I thought that you would do better. It is your birthday after all!”

It was? Harial didn’t realize it was his birthday, he never really kept track. He didn’t dwell on this that long either, leaning forwards to look into the box. His eyes widened when they met the form of a small kitten, it's fluffy grey-and-white fur poofed up from alarm. Acronix watched on, eagerly awaiting Harial’s reaction.

“Won’t your dad get mad that you brought a cat home?” Harial asked, his voice as quiet as it usually was. He looked up, meeting Acronix’s gaze while carefully slipping a hand in to let the kitten investigate.

Acronix looked as if he hadn’t even thought of that — which, to be fair, he probably hadn’t. His grin fell and he hesitated, looking to the door of the room. He had left Krux behind to deal with their father, figuring since his brother was more of the type to care about rules he would have a way to evade Aeturnus’ punishments. The two of them didn’t really feel like cleaning the entire house again, even if they were allowed to use their powers this time.

“Krux will handle it,” Acronix said after a moment, turning to look back at Harial. He was smiling again. “Just enjoy your present, Hari, you deserve it.”

Harial cast a half-smile, carefully lifting the kitten from the box once he was sure he wasn't going to scare him away. The kitten mewled in surprise but went with it, leaning into Harial once he was close enough. Acronix got back up, him and the box vanishing in a green light with only a yell of “goodbye-have-a-nice-day” as he went. The boy laughed and forgot about cleaning himself up, focusing on the cat, whom he decided to name Thunder.

—

When Harial was eventually called down for dinner, he had to leave Thunder in his room. He wasn’t very happy about it but he decided he could sneak the kitten some food later. As he neared the kitchen, it was clear Acronix and Krux were arguing again, based off the raised voices and exchanged insults of two small children. Both of them were nearing their eleventh birthday, only a year older than Harial himself.

Aeturnus scolding the twins was the last thing Harial heard before entering the kitchen, staring at the mess before him. Krux had managed to get his brother pinned down, his hand digging hard into the other’s back. Acronix was struggling, both his eyes and hands glowing brightly as he prepared his powers. One of the chairs was toppled over, likely Acronix’s chair.

Reluctantly, Krux got off his brother, adding one last kick into Acronix’s side — it was a light kick, but the boy rolled over with an exaggerated groan nonetheless. “Stop being so dramatic, Nix,” Krux scoffed, lifting Acronix’s chair with his bright yellow powers as he went to his own. “You’re the one who started it.”

“Damn it, Krux!” Aeturnus sighed, spotting Harial in the doorway. “Both of you, sit down, I don’t have time for this. Harial, come in here and join us, Krux and Acronix will behave. Right, kids?”

Acronix muttered something along the lines of a profanity as he got up into his chair, glaring down at his plate of food. He ignored the taunting smile Krux gave him, sulking in silence as if he were turning four instead of eleven.

Harial hesitated a moment but went in nonetheless, sitting at the table too. He stared at the food uneasily, not liking the way it looked. Instead of saying anything, he kept his mouth shut, lifting the fork into one hand and keeping a loose grip. The texture still bothered him but he forced himself to ignore it.

At this point he just wanted to go home.

“Harial, your father is coming to get you tomorrow morning,” Aeturnus said, raising his gaze to look at the miserable boy. Harial only nodded, having to force himself to eat as well.

“Are you alright?” Acronix asked suddenly, leaning forwards in his chair with his elbows resting on the wooden table. He seemed to sense Harial’s discomfort, his head tilting to the side — not unlike a curious puppy. “You look upset,” he elaborated a second later when he didn’t get an answer.

Harial nodded again, avoiding the other boys’ gazes. Instead, he continued to eat, silently wishing for the night to hurry. He didn’t feel any gratitude towards Aeturnus, and although he’d much rather be here than alone at the monastery, he really wanted Wu to hurry and come get him.
