FEELING FINE ALL THE TIME - SOMEEDDSWORLDFAN

LESSSGOOO

[naydraw]

What if tom hates Tord because he feels like Edd likes him better or that he preceves Tord to be better then him. He'll blame it on him being a commie when in reality he's deeply afraid of Matt and Edd to chose Tord over him, that's why he was so happy when Edd chose him to explore the pyramids with him. Tom also endures a lot of pain for Edd and Matt, like he's afraid of them leaving him. They are his only friends after so if they ever left him he'd probably go insane/go broke like in The End. I feel like he acts cold and distant to them so they never know how much they really mean to him, like he's been left before for caring too much and doesn't want that to happen again. I think Tom thinks that if they ever knew how he really felt about them they'd use it against him. Tom doesn't want to be left while Tord gets chosen over him so he pretends to hate Tord and acts cold to Edd and Matt. Or not. Idk man. It's 5:08 am my time and I think I've been left alone with my thoughts too long.

Okay don't judge me on this one.

I was playing around with this talkie bot and have been trying to get him laid for almost months, and it's about to FINALLY happen!

BUT

Suddently the bugs in my head said "what if you throw a big ass plot twist right now" like, the ones that change the entire narrative type shi.

And now I don't now what to do! I really, REALLY wanted this moment to happen, but now it's giving me so many ideas to turn the shift I'm-

[naydraw]

Don't we all?

The Ninjago monstrosity trailer looks insane but my only hope is that they give us Kai looking like a sopping wet cat

I want that man to look miserable

[naydraw]

To be completely honest, I don't really think Kai will become a centipede monster. I knowww it's sad but my reason as to why is pretty agreeable I think.

Usually, whenever a character is transformed into a monster or just a non-human in general, it's always been about accepting and overcoming parts of yourself youd rather hide. When Zane was revealed to be a nindroid, he learned that the others would accept him as their brother no matter what, and soon enough, it became a strength for him. Literally, he gained his true potential shortly after. He no longer sees him being a nindroid separate to his identity. He went from Zane, a ninja, to Zane, the titanium ninja. He's still him, always will be, just shiny :)

When Jay was turned into a Venomari, it became a reflection of his insecurities, the parts of himself he tries to mask with flashy bravado and exaggerated stories, especially around Nya, who he had a massive crush on. It ended similarly to Zane, where Nya said he would accept him no matter what. Flaws and all. Knowing this, He was able to gain his true potential too. Realizing that being himself was far better than covering it up with glitter and foundation.

Then when Cole became a ghost, it was a tragedy. He no longer felt like himself, no longer saw himself as a person. Instead a living husk of his former glory. But, with the encouragement and unyielding support of his teammates, his family, he learned to accept this new body of his, as inhuman as it was. It symbolized trauma, and the strength it takes to see the good in every bad situation. It carries later into the show, where even though he's back to being a human, the scars are still there. They will never truly go away, but he learned to accept himself as himself, weird ghost scars and all.

Lloyd is the definition of grappling with identity. From being the son of Lord Garmadon, to becoming the legendary Green Ninja, then the ultimate Spinjitzu Master, then returning to simply being the Green Ninja, knowing hes half Oni half dragon, and ultimately just Lloyd? He carries many versions of himself, each with parts he struggles to accept. He’s the textbook case of change: from idolizing his father to fearing he’ll become him. It’s this internal conflict that makes it so hard for him to see himself as anything other than a ninja. While we see him begin to accept his identity later in the series, DR shows us that he still has some ways to go before he truly feels at home in his own skin.

Nya's transformation was also just.. unwanted, in my opinion. It was about doing everything you can to protect the ones you love, even if it hurts you. She's very similar to Kai in this regard, and it's very realistic that they share similar ideals when it comes to how they view their role in the team. Nya thought that merging with the sea was the only option, and faced with Jay unconscious after drowning, she had no choice. It was unwanted change, similar to Cole. This time, however, instead of Nya bringing herself back, it was the others who brought her back. It's a beautiful way to show that family will go through hell and beyond if it means protecting the ones you love.

What does this all mean, however? Why do these transformations matter?

Well, here's an answer. Despite everything, despite the hardships, they all came out of it better. They came out of it having learned something positive about themselves, even though it scarred them tremendously. Think of it like a caterpillar. In order to transform into butterfly, they have to break down and rebuild. In the end, the transformations ended up becoming a reminder to stay strong and steadfast. And it's nice that everyone had a moment like that.

Weeelllll.... not everyone.

Kai is the only one who hasn’t undergone a non-human arc, and that’s surprising, considering he’s probably one of the first characters you'd expect to experience one. With his personality and tendency to hide things from others in fear of being shamed or shunned, an arc like that would benefit him. Right?

This is where monstrosity comes in I fear. And not in a good way.

I think this series will be contradicting what those arcs symbolized. I think it will become the opposite to what the other ninja experienced. I dont think Kai will turn into a centipede creature or just any monster in general. No, not really. And that might be confusing, because In order to survive the land of the monsters, you need to become one yourself, right?

But i still think Kai will be the only one not to undergo a non-human transformation. Not because it wont happen, but because he doesn't need to. In fact, I think it matches the others perfectly. Everyone in the team became a monster physically, but they stayed the same. Same likes, same hates, just with different colored skin or lack thereof. They didn't change, their views didn't change, their morals didn't change.

But Kais did.

And Kai is.

He is a monster.

Maybe not physically, maybe not literally,

But mentally. But his actions were.

And that's enough, isn't it?

[naydraw]

Tragically, I now understand why Kai chose to be out searching for everyone and map out the changed lands while Lloyd stayed behind to handle the merge quakes. It all makes sense with their responses to their own anxiety.

Kai chooses to ignore it by making himself busy, only concerned with being useful. He’s been that way since the pilot, wanting to take action right in the moment, as there’s no time to waste. So despite having gone through the horrors, he would rather be moving than be stagnant.

Lloyd, on the other hand, ruminates. He freezes and sits with the problem for hours at a time, worries himself sick until he has a task to do and is momentarily obligated to think about something else.

Kai said it's his turn to be the main character again
