Uhhh?!?! 2015 live action Watari and L, I would die for you? I love these two so much. I’m only three episodes in, but Misa is handled really well so far and I think she might surpass the flaws that people point out in the original anime. Also Light struggling with his morals (or at least being effected emotionally) because of all the people he’s killed is really cool to see.

I had the weirdest dream earlier, which I’m sure others have experienced but it was my first time. So, I woke up early today and a few hours after that happened, I was listening to a song album and ended up falling asleep. In my dream, I tried checking my phone to change the song and add a different one to a playlist, but my arm felt so heavy from sleep and I was struggling between which buttons were the volume and the power on button (since in my dream they kept switching placed.)

Then I “woke up” and realized it was four o’clock when I turned my head to glance at my phone. My limbs were once again heavy and I couldn’t stop the album from playing. All while this is happening, I could still hear the music from real life, which made me start getting desperate. I knew I was dreaming and wanted to wake up and turn off the phone.

I “woke up” again to it now being six o’clock and I was frustrated that this weird dream from before which took place exactly where I was laying down had taken hours out of the day from me. I finally was able to stop the music and sit up and look around me, noticing my room was dark. I then realized that I hadn’t actually felt my fingers press the buttons on my phone like I did in my previous dreams so I knew I was dreaming again.

I’m pretty sure I “woke up��� AGAIN, but this time I was trying to move my heavy limbs, specially my hands towards my throat to feel a pulse (I guess maybe my reasoning was to actually be able to move? I dunno) I had tried reaching for my phone to turn off my music again, since I could still hear it playing in real life and had only forgotten so in my previous dream sequence.

FINALLY, I woke up for real, and after finally being able to move my arms out from under my chest, since I sleep on my stomach, I was able to pause the album and check the time. Which was only, like, 40 minutes later than when I had fallen asleep.

But I don’t know, it felt really weird and frustrating, like I genuinely thought parts of myself might move in real life when I was dreaming, so as to maybe brush against something and then wake me up, but they never did. At least I didn’t waste hours of my time like I thought I did, but it was just, kinda freaky.

I love (and appreciate, even though I didn’t realize I needed this) that Kai kept his humor. Everything is vicious, dark and moody, but of course Kai cracks jokes even when others aren’t around, if not just to keep himself sane.

Also it makes sense why he’s like how he is in Dragons Rising because he stuck true to himself and just wanted to see his family, so of course he’s really happy when he gets to.

Wanna Play a Game?

Lloyd Garmadon is the newest, youngest, and most annoying addition to the ninja team. So, his brothers decide to do a little bit of harmless hazing. How were they supposed to know that the graveyard they sent him into was haunted?

OR

Lloyd makes a friend, the ninja give Wu a heart attack, and Morro is a bargaining pawn.

Lloyd Garmadon was both the youngest and newest ninja assigned to the ninja force. According to Uncle Wu, usually the ninja were only supposed to be at least twelve before beginning their training, and fifteen before being let out to fight actual bad guys. Lloyd had been an exception, due to his father being unable to take care of him (for grown up reasons that Wu never explained no matter how many times the child asked), as well as the descendent of an elemental master. There was also a secret third reason that nobody acknowledged, but was still true, that being Lloyd begging non-stop to train with his older “siblings”. It wasn’t fair that the five others got to do all this cool fighting stuff, especially with their cool powers that they were still trying to keep under control. Why couldn’t Lloyd unlock his own elemental power? He had to, right? 

     Maybe it was the amount of pranks he pulled on his new family or the fact that the other ninja had to begrudgingly babysit him, but for the first time since the ninja force was created, Lloyd was going to have to go under an initiation. The seven year old would have to prove he was as brave as his older brothers by venturing out into the creepy woods late at night and stay there for a whole ten minutes. Spooky. And not only that, but the ninja-in-training learned once he had been placed in front of its gates that it wasn’t just any woods, but the woods inside the cemetery a whole six blocks away from the monastery! Strangely, Sensei Wu, nor Lloyd’s older sister, Nya, had accompanied the five boys there. 

     But that was fine! Lloyd wasn’t a baby anymore, he could prove to be the bravest ninja there ever was! How long was ten minutes anyway? A bitter memory of being told to sit in a corner and not do anything for ten minutes as a punishment popped into Lloyd’s head. That had been no fun, especially when his mom had snapped at him for even shifting how he sat on the uncusioned wooden chair. Well…okay, so those ten minutes had been terrible, but these ones didn’t have to be! In fact, Lloyd decided that he had walked already for about three whole minutes deeper into the graveyard, so far that he couldn’t even see the other boys. Ha! That would show them. He’s so brave, and when he proves that, maybe they’ll stop glaring at him for each prank and maybe start calling him brother instead of groaning each time he did so to them. 

Soon, the boy began to feel a chill creep up his back and through his arms. Ugh, stupid night time and no warm sun…well, at least he had his favorite black and purple hoodie on to trap some of the warmth left surrounding him. As Lloyd grew tired of walking and decided to plop down on the ground, the spiny trees surrounding him became his new object of attention as he realized how they almost seemed to hang downwards towards him, like they wanted to grasp the boy in their limbs. With a gulp, Lloyd decidedly attempted to no longer look up at the sky.

“Heh, it’s kinda spooky in here…” he mumbled to himself, his eyes following the outline of bumpy terrain in front of him. In order to not scare himself even more by admitting that fact, he quickly added, “But that’s okay! Because I like spooky. Heheh, yeah.” A scattering movement from beside one of the eerie tombstones in the yard caused Lloyd to accidentally let out a totally brave yelp. He quickly recovered when he saw two small, beady eyes shine at him for a moment before disappearing underground. It was a rat. Right, those existed…well, as long as they didn’t try to bite him, Lloyd could be cool with rats. 

“Yeah…yeah! I’ll tell the others that I found a mean old rat and I wasn’t even scared. Haha! That should-ACK!!” 

The kid felt his back hit the ground hard before his head followed afterwards, bouncing slightly back up after it did so. Tears naturally blurred Lloyd’s eyes as he felt two hands pin his arms to either side of his chest, with his attacker’s fingernails pressing deeper and deeper into his wrists. And with that, all of his previous bravery vanished in an instant. 

   

 Sensei Wu had sensed something was amiss when the monastery lacked any sort of echo involving arguing or victorious cries. His fears were only confirmed when Nya had knocked on Wu’s door asking if he had seen her twin brother. Luckily, the five missing children hadn’t disappeared completely without a trace. Ever so helpful Zane had left a note behind saying that he and the others were going out for supper and then doing a quick stop at the cemetery to pay respect for Kai’s dead parents. Wu was assured that the part about the parents was a lie when Nya wrinkled her nose upon reading the letter, blatantly telling her teacher that she and Kai were in foster care for as long as she could remember.     

    Sensei Wu asked her to stay behind as he went looking for the others. He had been met with reluctant obedience, since it was already way past nine o’clock. Wu’s fears grew the closer he got to his destination, the thud of his staff against the ground only occurring faster and faster. Rumors had been whispered about some sort of child of the shadows who led people away to this very place. The Blight. A terrible name derived from how awful the place was no matter the weather anywhere else in town. The secondary factor to its naming was how only criminals had been buried there. Even in death, equality was nonexistent. Images of his children being swept away by some malicious force passed through the sensei’s mind, causing him to go even faster on his feet. After all, he had a pretty good guess of what horrors may be hidden within the graveyard.

Temporary relief slowed his heart’s rapid beating when he found his boys outside the gates looking in. They hadn’t decided to go in yet! Cole was lifting Jay up on his shoulders to try to give the latter a better view into the cemetery as Kai had already began attempting to climb the chain fence. Zane was the first to see their sensei, quick to call out “Sensei Wu!” This caused the others to notice and repeat in unison “SENSEI WU!” as their teacher came up to them. Kai fell off the chain fence and attempted to land correctly last minute, saving him from bigger injuries but still causing the ninja-in-training to stumble to his knees. Jay pushed himself off of Cole, running to his sensei and grabbing at his robe’s sleeve.

“Sensei, it’s been ten minutes, but Lloyd still hasn’t come out yet!” The boy’s words clumped together as he quickly spoke, no doubt driven by his fear. 

“Jaaaay!” Cole punched his friend’s arm before looking at Wu in apprehension. The ninja teacher’s eyes widened as he glanced at the graveyard, trying to see if he could spot a mop of blonde hair somewhere. His gaze returned to his remaining pupils as his voice took on a harder, sterner tone, 

“What do you mean Lloyd’s gone in there? You four are not ready to face what’s inside just yet!” 

“What’s inside?” Cole echoed, eyes growing bigger. The four ninja looked at each other, their gazes shiny with fear, before all of them began to spew out excuses.

“We didn’t know it was dangerous!”

“We just wanted to scare him a little-“

“He was being so annoying lately, but-“

“I researched the native life in the surrounding area, I didn’t see any sort of violent animals-“

“I thought he’d be back by now-“

“Enough! You are all to blame for what happened tonight,” Sensei Wu’s voice boomed over the rapid chorus, causing all four kids to shut their mouths. Kai looked at the ground guiltily before meeting his teacher’s harsh gaze. 

“Sensei…it was our fault. But I never wanted anything to happen to the little pipsqueak. I promise! Is…is Lloyd going to be okay?” Wu finally softened his gaze as all four of his students’ unintentionally looked at him the puppy dog eyes. At least they seemed regretful…

“I’m going in there to find your brother.” Pausing, as if to prove his point further, their teacher emphasized, “Alone.” Immediately, he was drowning in more rapid protests, all of which involved voices begging to help their teacher find his lost pupil. One slam of his wooden staff against the pavement caused the children to shut up once more. “You four will stay outside, until I return with Lloyd, and are not to follow me inside. Do you understand?”

“Yes sensei,” Cole bowed, with the other three chanting the same as they followed his example. With that fragile assurance, Wu’s brow furrowed in worry before he headed through the creaky gate’s door, the broken lock hanging off of it lightly swaying as he did so.

    “Get off of me!” the boy with blonde hair shouted beneath Morro before biting one of the  latter’s arms. Morro cried out in pain, letting go of the kid and throwing himself backwards onto his bottom, cradling his bitten arm as he clenched his teeth. He sent a glare at the intruder before barking out,

“You bit me, you jerk!” 

“You shoved me!” the boy retorted, sitting up with tears falling freely down his face as he returned the glare. Despite the pain blooming from the teeth-shaped bruise on his arm, Morro refused to do the same by crying in front of the kid. Tears showed weakness and Morro wasn’t weak! To prove his point, he stood up, taking a deep breath and holding it as he attempted to throw his wind towards the boy, extending his arms out as he did so. A small breeze pushed some of the intruder’s hair to the side, but by no means knocked him over. 

The kid in front of him sniffled, eyebrows still downturned, but his voice lacked malice as he quietly asked, “Are you an elemental master?” 

“No,” Morro scoffed, letting out a sharp exhale as he did so, the rest of his wind releasing a bit stronger. He didn’t know what an elemental master was. “I got my powers from my mother.”

“I got-I’m getting mine from my dad,” the boy announced, wiping the last of his tears away. He wobbled a bit as he stood up, but Morro refused to be fooled by any sign of frailness. He balled his fists and shifted his stance, growling, “Get out of my home! You’re not supposed to be here!”

“You don’t live here,” the boy wrinkled his nose, looking Morro up and down suspiciously. “No one lives here.”

“Get out or I’ll use my wind on you!” the older boy threatened. He puffed his cheeks angrily as he raised his hand in the air, calling a small breeze to blow around the two of them. The younger didn’t look very scared as he looked Morro in the eyes. Instead of running away, he just said,

“Stop holding your breath.” 

“Huh?” Morro dropped his hand, his wind releasing once more and whipping both boys’ hair around. The scowl on his face was accidentally put away and replaced with a confused look. Why was this kid trying to give him advice?

“My uncle says that power flows in you, right?” The boy walked up to him, causing Morro to tighten his fists even more as his shoulders tensed. He didn’t really know what to do when confronted with someone trying to approach him instead of the other way around. Luckily, the blonde didn’t touch him, instead just pointed towards his chest. “It’s gotta flow out too. And yours does, but you don’t let it out right. Do it when you breathe out.” The boy inhaled dramatically before breathing out with his arms stretched out, almost brushing against Morro’s pale green gi given to him by the Soul Archer on behalf of the Preeminent. The younger boy smiled at him, adding “My uncle is teaching my five siblings and me, and they all got powers too. He knows a whole bunch of stuff.” 

Hesitantly, especially since a stranger was watching him, Morro shifted slightly to the side. He took in a deep breath and waited to ask the wind to move until he was exhaling again. This time, three nearby trees’ branches bounced wildly in the air, which had never happened when Morro tried to practice by himself. He glanced at the boy next to him with suspicion, refraining from reveling in the pride in his chest as he carefully analyzed the grinning kid and his dumb, oversized sweatshirt.

“Who are you,” he demanded the stranger.

“I’m Lloyd! What’s your name? Why’re you here too?” The blonde asked with a smile, seeming to have put their original meeting behind them, much to Morro’s growing confusion and distrust. 

“I’m Morro, and I already told you, I live here.” He crossed his arms, remembering to narrow his eyes and look angry, even if he didn’t actually feel so mad anymore. 

“Well, I’m s’pposed to be here for ten minutes to prove I’m the greatest, bravest ninja ever!” 

“You don’t look like a ninja…” Morro mumbled, his arms dropping to his sides. Lloyd paused, a defense seeming to be on his tongue before he dropped it, instead saying,

“Wanna play a game? I still got like two more minutes I think.” 

“Game?” Morro echoed, before looking to the side with furrowed brows. He tried to recall any “games” he knew before living in The Blight. Most of his memories from two years ago had began slipping away and being replaced with more happy ones with his family of ghosts. Yet, he couldn’t really recall playing any games with the others. It was more like training and learning. Yeah, training and learning. He knew that. But were those games? Seeming bored of the silence that had grown between the two boys, Lloyd shoved Morro’s shoulder before speeding off and crouching behind one of the gravestones, yelling “Tag! You’re it!”

Morro glared at the other boy, rubbing his shoulder and staring intensely at him. Lloyd’s smile wavered as he stood up a little. Shaking his head as if to shake away the frown growing on his face, the boy smiled again and explained in an unpatronizing tone, “Now you have to tag me. That’s the game’s name. Tag. So come here.” Lloyd waved the older boy towards him. Morro hesitated, taking a step forward and pausing, slightly fearing to do something wrong in this “game”. When the other boy didn’t yell at him for messing up, he jogged over to him, taking a guess and lightly tapping Lloyd’s shoulder. The latter’s smile grew bigger, if that was even possible, as he explained,

“Now you gotta run and I try to tag you, got it?” A nod. “Okay, three two one, go!” Despite saying “go”, Morro did catch that the blonde hadn’t began chasing until he had changed his jog into a sprint. All attempts at looking mean disappeared from his face, replacing with a smile soon after. Who knew games were fun? Maybe Wrayth would play tag with him later! The two boys chased each other back and forth for a while, only pausing once as Lloyd explained the concept of a time-out to Morro, making both of them stop for a bit so he could stop panting and take off his sweatshirt for now. Underneath was a picture of what Lloyd explained was a dinosaur. Morro didn’t get it, but that was okay because they started to play tag again soon afterwards.

“How do-how do you not breathe so much?” Lloyd panted, hands on his knees as Morro sat down and used a nearby tombstone as a backrest. The latter shrugged, about to say “I don’t know” before thinking a bit and replying, “Training. I like training. I guess I breathe a lot then.” He hoped that answer made sense. It seemed to, since the younger boy nodded his head before rocking backwards and tumbling onto his bottom. He extended his hand out towards Morro and said out of the blue, “Let’s be friends.”

The simple statement threw him for a loop as he replied without a second thought, “Why?” Lloyd looked a little bit confused, if not hurt, by the question. But it made total sense to Morro. He never had a friend before, not out on the streets. Instead, kids who were “friends” ganged up together on Morro. He never had anybody to stick by his side other than his family, and family can’t be friends. However, guilt tickled his throat when he heard Lloyd ask right back, “Why not?” So he nodded at the younger boy and shook his hand, cheering the blonde up once more. 

Not a moment later, Lloyd snatched a nearby fallen branch and tried to introduce another game to Morro, calling it “tic-tac-toe” as he drew two horizontal lines with two vertical lines crossing over them. He then tossed the stick aside, tracing his finger in the dirt while making x’s and circle’s inside the newly formed boxes. The blonde had claimed that every kid knew how to play this game, resulting in Morro quickly saying, “I don’t remember that.” And that had been the truth. Thankfully, Lloyd had replied with “Well, I do! Here, let me show you.” This game, like tag, was also a little strange to Morro at first glance, but he began to catch on quicker when he realized that this game could actually be won, unlike tag. And Morro liked winning. The two played a few rounds before Lloyd looked up abruptly, letting out a small gasp as his eyes widened. Morro stood up, preparing himself for whatever unknown danger the blonde must’ve perceived. He instead was met with Lloyd slowly rising to his feet, looking to the side guiltily.

“It’s been way longer than ten minutes. I think I have to go home to my family now.” Morro’s tension released as he dropped his shoulders, both in relief for no danger and in disappointment that his friend wanted to leave. Wait! Maybe they could do one more thing together. 

“Do you want to meet my family? They should wake up soon,” Morro offered. Lloyd brightened, nodding his head. 

“Okay!” Morro grinned, excited to hang out with his friend for a bit longer. He spotted a glimmer of green appear behind Lloyd and was about to announce that it must’ve been his family when he was grabbed roughly from behind, causing the boy to clam his eyelids shut. Something pressed against his throat hard, making it difficult to squirm out of the bigger attacker’s reach from behind him. Morro chose then to shift his efforts towards moving the object away from him, curling his fingers around what felt like wood and tugging at it to no avail. When he blinked open his eyes, he found a familiar ghost holding Lloyd back, a two edged dagger drawing a dot of blood from the terrified boy’s throat. 

“Bansha!” Morro managed to cry out before the wood was pressed even firmer against his throat. He gasped, clawing at it more frantically for easier breaths of air. He didn’t want Lloyd to join his family, he wanted him to be his friend! Sadly, Morro was unable to convey as much, no longer able to force words out. He shifted his head, trying to look up at his assailant. All he could see was a straw hat, but at least he could breathe now.

“Let my nephew go at once!” The man behind Morro demanded. Nephew? This was Lloyd’s uncle? Morro already didn’t like the guy, who continued on, “My family has no quarrel with yours yet.” The boy felt a heavy pit grow in his stomach as dread filled his throat. Yet. The word hung in the air menacingly as Bansha glanced down at Morro and then up back at his attacker.

“We both know that’s not true, old man,” The ghost hissed behind her gaiter. Morro watched in fear as she drew a line against Lloyd’s skin with her knife, causing the other boy to whimper as tears freely rolled down his face past his trembling lips. “It would be a shame if something happened to one so young…” The wood at Morro’s throat pressed just a smidge further, causing the boy to take in a deep gasp for air before the object against his throat was released by a minuscule amount. 

“If you kill my student, then yours will be gone as well,” the man threatened. The ghost chuckled, releasing her dagger from Lloyd’s throat but replacing it with a tight hold using her arm. Bansha retorted,

“What’s another ghost among the dead?” For a second, she glanced at Morro, meeting the boy’s scared gaze. In that quick moment, a small wisp of relief tickled the boy when he could see the worry in her eyes. Bansha was bluffing. The ghost paused, sighing for dramatic effect before offering in her echoey voice, “But, I supposed a trade could be met…I want mine back first.”

“So you could take both children for yourself?!” Morro winced, wishing he could cover his ears to block out the man’s raising voice. His heart drummed quicker as he wondered if his ghostly sister would be victorious. Distantly, Morro realized that the man’s heartbeat was also thudding rather quickly, rumbling against the boy’s back. 

“And how do I know that you’re a man of honor?” The ghost spat, once more silently threatening as she raised her dagger back to Lloyd’s throat. The child in her grasp let out a silent, muffled sob. 

There was a silence in the air as both sides wondered who would break first. Nobody dared to move and no other words were spoken. Seconds felt like hours in Morro’s head. Until finally…

Morro was thrown to his knees, the wood from his throat finally releasing him as the boy threw his palms out in front of him before hitting the ground. Pebbles dashed against his skin, a distant stinging already forming. But Morro didn’t think too much about it, because only a second later, he was being lifted into the arms of Bansha, slightly in an embrace but more so to make sure that the intruder wouldn’t grab Morro again. The boy stayed in her arms, but twisted his neck back to watch as Lloyd ran into his uncle’s arms. The blonde was full on bawling now, but not once did the thought occur to Morro that he was being weak. In fact, he could feel tears brimming his own eyes, yet he stubbornly refused to let them fall. Not because he might be interpreted as weak, but because he would never wish to harm his older sister. 

Bansha did not let Morro leave her grasp until they both could no longer see the sensei and his pupil. Dropping the mask of confidence, the ghost in front of him ripped off her shawl and gaiter to meet her brother face to face. Bansha’s braid fell over her shoulder as she leaned down closer to Morro, properly hugging him now that there was no danger. Morro let his tears fall with no sound the second that she let go of him. The boy trembled, grabbing his own arms and trying to stop their shaking. Future warriors don’t get scared…no, he was wrong. He knew he was when he saw the look Bansha gave him. He couldn’t keep to her gaze, choosing to look to the side. Morro spotted Lloyd’s forgotten hoodie lying on the ground. Would he ever be able to return it to his friend?

“Let me tell Mother what happened, okay? It’s better if she hears it from me.” Morro didn’t look at the ghost until she grabbed his chin and tilted his face towards her face. His eyes met hers. Fear looked back at determination. “You don’t talk about this to the others, alright? No telling Mother. If Ghoultar asks you what happened, you tell him to talk to me, okay? I want you to forget ever meeting that boy. Do you understand?” 

Morro nodded, pulling himself out of Bansha’s grasp and wiping his tears against his gi’s sleeves. He felt one of her arms wrap around him and gently guide him deeper into The Blight. He didn’t want to forget his friend, despite his love for his family. Deciding to keep his lips sealed about the incident, he told himself he’d just have to not forget this memory, no matter how scary it was. Remember his friend’s name. Morro would grab that abandoned sweatshirt later when the ghosts had to go to sleep underground again. When the boy began his training in the night, and when Wrayth would go on and on about his “glory days” of being a thief when he was alive, one word repeated as a mantra inside Morro’s brain. Lloyd. 

Lloyd Lloyd Lloyd Lloyd.

Lloyd.

2 Morro powers that I think would be cool to incorporate in fics more and that are canon, although confusing, are his “invisibility” and “possessing ghosts”.

For the invisibility: Morro in his episode one of Possession is able to possess the Lloyd animatronic without being seen. Now maybe it was just to keep the mystery going and he wasn’t actually invisible, but it would be cool for him to use it, sort of like how Bansha has her shriek/telepathy and Archer has his bow.

It might have also just been what we saw with his first fight with Lloyd before possessing him where he just looks like a dark shadow before possessing. Maybe that’s just how all possessions go, but I think that even turning into a dark shadow would be useful during night stealth missions.

For possessing ghosts: So this one is confusing because I’m not sure if it’s Morro being able to shapeshift how he looks, he’s able to possess ghosts or all ghosts can possess other ghosts. It comes from one of the last episodes when Wu thinks he’s speaking with Bansha but it’s revealed it’s Morro. I’ve seen some people interpret it as lying in wait for his old sensei and then being like “got ya!” or Bansha immediately ratting Wu out to Morro, allowing Morro to possess her for quick contact.

No matter the case, I think either the shape shifting or the possessing would be interesting in fics because like, for shape shifting, if Morro’s evil, he taunts ninja with the faces of loved ones. If he’s good, he’s the best spy you’ll ever find since he won’t have a phony costume that falls off at the worst of times (unless y’all want it to be based on him focusing, then go ahead). If it’s possessing other ghosts, just think of the ghost Cole angst. If evil, he could make Cole fight his friends or even pretend to be Cole and see how long it takes before he’s found out. Or if Morro’s good, then helping Cole by possessing him and using moves that he learned during training under the preeminent to get the two of them out of a sticky situation, or simply use his wind while possessing Cole, like he did while possessing Lloyd.

The possibilities man…anyways, that was just my thoughts. I want to incorporate those abilities if I ever write ghost Morro, but for some reason, Morro is alive in both of my big aus (smh)

Okay so like, until someone suggests to me an alternative character not listed here, I’d say Harumi and like it says above, not just ‘cause I like her. I did theater these last four years and some of my biggest roles or at least the most fun that I’ve been cast as have been villain characters. This last school year I got to play an intimidating villain who got to sing really high notes and then a really funny, kinda insane villain (who almost killed her best friend by purposely giving him arsenic). Also, the role I just mentioned was originally a guy role, but they changed it so I could play the character lol (which doesn’t happen at my school too often unless it’s a minor character)

Also, when I roleplay, I tend to play villains (a lot that tend to have tragic backstories and could be sympathetic if you want). The other type of role I like playing as that I didn’t see in this list and doesn’t come directly to my head is traumatized reformed villain. It’s super fun

Think, reach DEEP into your soul: If they made a live action ninjago movie/TV show, which character would you be?

DONT choose your favorite character, or who you WANT to be, but who would the directors cast you as?

Idk go over lines in your bathroom mirror, look menacing or serious or do the voices or idek scream like the character, WHO WOULD YOU BE?

“I don’t remember that.”

“Well, I do!”

The fun part about that text is that you could reverse who’s saying it and have it apply to this memory. Anyways, here’s some more Prone to Decay. I plan to have this as a scene in a future oneshot. Surprise surprise, Morro meets someone who isn’t a ghost! I’m sure the two of them will become great friends. Nothing bad ever happens in the stories I write. No angst, definitely.

Edit: I finished the oneshot. It’s called Wanna Play a Game? And it’s on Ao3 (or ya can just check my prone to decay au tag to find it)

[pallyjelly]

Finished reading Pokémon Adventures Gold and Silver Arc. It’s the best of the series I’ve read, it’s so good.

(Also, if any of you are my followers who follow me because of my Morro stuff, I think you would really enjoy the character Silver, he’s the first one above. Just trust me bro, his character in the manga is amazing.)

Who doesn’t love some Snapcube sonic dubs? I plan to do more of these audios with ninjago in the future :]

L: Oh Light, we have a visitor! Light: Don't tell me it's Misa. L: It's Misa.

Beyond: Surgery is basically just stabbing someone to life. Naomi: Please never become a surgeon.

Rem: Human beings are confusing. Misa: How so? Rem: Your species is despicable, but the thought of anything bad happening to you upsets me.

I don’t know why I never posted this here, lol. Mimikyu is my favorite Pokémon. I have a stuffie of him that I brought to school for the last semester every day this year. He was very supportive.

WIP for Morro Animatic

This song as an animatic tribute to Morro has been stuck in my head. I want to explain the different parts the fit different lyrics so so bad man. I can’t say that I’ll finish the entire song, will probably just do bits and pieces here and there, but it would have season five Morro as well as Dragons Rising Morro, DR Lloyd and Arin. Will try to make Morro at the end of this clip more glitchy too.

Edit- Just realized that for some reason the audio doesn’t match up as in sync as it does in FlipaClip and my saved photos. Will see if I can try to fix that, but I don’t know if it’s my problem or tumblr’s.

Here’s da mailman for ya since I’m closing the six art requests prompt but I can’t pass up doing this guy. 10/10 character. And did I do this instead of spending more time studying for my last final tomorrow? Maybe.

I love the mailman so much he had the best cameos! I wish he was in Dragons Rising 😭😭😭

Darkley’s Incorrect Quotes (Pt. 4)

(Forgot to post this, whoopsie)

Cole: Hey, Morro! Do you wanna go celebrate with me? Morro: Cole, you know I can't be seen in public with you. Cole: Okay, a simple "no" would be fine.

Kai: (motioning to Darkley’s) This should be illegal! Lloyd: It is.

Harumi: Nya, I swear I didn’t know Kai was coming over. I always ominously clean my assault weapons on the coffee table like that. It had nothing to do with you and cutting off your previous relationships! 

Zane: Why are you two always out during rainstorms? Nya: It’s so peaceful and refreshing. I love the smell of rain. Jay: Cole bet me I couldn’t get struck by lighting, but he’s WRONG.

Lloyd: Look, I’m glad everyone’s on the same page. Lloyd: But it’s the last page in a book titled “we’re all going to die”. Jay: (shaking his head) That’s not even clever.

Morro: I have so much energy, I want to run a marathon or commit a crime... which should I do? Cole: Please don’t get arrested. Morro: No promises! >:] Harumi: Why not both? Get creative! Morro: Wonderful suggestion, thank you. Cole: Please don’t encourage him, Harumi

Kai: I have a new hoodie. Lloyd: Wrong. Lloyd: We have a new hoodie.

Morro: So... This is my true potential? Jay: Yep. Morro: So, then it's... Jay: All downhill from here. Morro: Like the Preeminent… Jay: I do not know what this Preeminent is. But it sounds disappointing.

Harumi: My aesthetic is "would be suspected of witchcraft by small town citizens."

Nya: You do you, I guess?

Darkley’s Au Music Playlist

Songs for my Darkley’s Au (basically all just disaster cousins)

Feel free to ask about reasoning for almost all of these. Small explanations will be put after each song.

My Evil Ways by The Nearly Deeds-

Harumi, such a vibe of a song and relatable for her (at least in this au). Not specifically imagining scenes in my head for this, except her simply being her wonderful self 

Sparks by Coldplay- 

Morro, slight spoilers I guess, but I plan on writing Morro with depression in this au. He’s not good at making friends, so when Lloyd befriends the ninja and doesn’t hang out with him as much, he wonders if he did something wrong.

Bad and Dark by B.A.D. 4-

Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane, this was just a silly one for the boys trying to act tough while spying at Darkley’s, showing their “evil sides” (ZZ Skull- Jay, Hellhound- Cole, Mushy P- Zane, T.N.T- Kai)

Blindside by Icon for Hire-

Harumi, once again a vibe, but mentions a bit of how she felt being adopted by the Jade family

The Kids Aren’t Alright by Fall Out Boy-

Lloyd, a bit of Morro, this is mostly just sang by Lloyd, but it kind of goes over him describing the bad situations that happen at Darkley’s to the ninja. Also really like the lines “I’m not passive but aggressive” when showing Morro and then the lyric “I think your my best friend”, Lloyd just has a huge grin on his face as he says it to Morro since his roommate was the first friend he ever really got.

Warrior by Beth Crowley-

Lloyd and Morro, mostly vibes, but goes over how Lloyd used to get bullied a lot before he befriended Morro and was able to toughen up a bit more against his enemies.

Mama’s Boy by Dominic Fike-

Lloyd, goes over how he was bullied when first dropped off at Darkley’s by his mom. Kids are jealous of his dad, so pick on him, especially since Lloyd isn’t actually evil.

Speechless Part One by Naomi Scott-

Harumi, goes over her relationship with the Jade family, forced into the role of the quiet one. Sort of like what’s mentioned at the start of Changing for the Worst.

Treehouse by Alex G-

Morro and Cole, Once again, slight spoilers, but Cole is the first of the ninja to befriend and give Morro a chance (since Morro has been nothing but a jerk to his friends up until this point). They talk about mental health a bit, but also Cole has respect for Morro just wanting to make sure Lloyd’s safe. There’s a location I want to introduce in this serious that is a secret hideaway with pink flowers on trees that was originally just for Lloyd and Morro, but Morro decides to share the location with Cole as well.

Home by Cavetown

Lloyd and Morro, oofta, I could say so much about this one. But the gist is 1st verse=Lloyd, 2nd=Morro, 3rd= both. This is one I imagine in animatic form.

Ms. Led by Jack Stauber-

Morro and the Preeminent, I actually made fanart for this (but I draw Morro with a darker skin color nowadays). Basically Morro’s life at Darkley’s before Lloyd came and the Preeminent still taught there was…interesting. Spoilers man.

Crab by Alex G-

Lloyd, It’s just such a vibe. I don’t really know what to say about it. I think it goes over some of his trauma from his past that he doesn’t like bringing up often, and when he does, he brushes it over quickly.

Bruno is Orange by Hop Along-

Harumi, Oh boy this was a fun one. So, this song has major spoilers in it too so I can’t describe everything. But it shows her connection with Lloyd (who has a crush on her, but she grows to see as a brother), Morro, and Nya. 

And that’s all for now. Feel free to comment asking about more details and I’ll rant more to you if you’re interested (unless it’s one of the “vibes” songs, I might not have too much more to add to those)

You have been summoned

Hoi, I’m PallyJelly (y’all can call me Pally) and I’m making this because my posts are getting crowded lol.

Common tags I’ll be using for art, fanfics and rants with be “pallyjellyart, pallyjellyfic, pallyjellyrant”.

I’m not too keen on shipping other than Jaya, Pixane, Llokita, and Llorumi (as well as some very, VERY minor ships that people don’t really talk about)

Current Au’s I’m working on are:

Ninjago Darkley’s Au-

The ninja are sent by Sensei Wu to Darkley’s Boarding School for Bad Kids in order to break down the evil institution from the inside, as well as check on the well-being of his nephew, Lloyd Garmadon. However, they have to keep their powers and statuses as ninja a secret, as well as deal with Lloyd’s overprotective roommate (Morro) and Lloyd’s psycho crush (the Jade princess, Harumi)

[This Au currently has fanfics, fanart, and incorrect quotes]

Prone to Decay Au-

A human child named Morro stumbles into a haunted graveyard which has ghosts that typically kills anyone who enters it to increase their troops. This time, the child gets raised while still being alive, leading to him being the perfect lure for other living beings. He’s watched over by Archer (a cold, skilled warrior), Wrayth (an excitable friend to Morro as he gets older in this au), Bansha (either serious or snarky, no inbetween) and Ghoultar (a ghost who never should have been cursed in the first place). Throughout his life, Morro keeps meeting Lloyd Garmadon, who tries convincing him that the cursed are not what a true family is like.

[This au currently has fanfics, fanart and incorrect quotes]

Any of these tags can be found below. Feel free to ask me anything about my aus (or just talk about ninjago in general lol)
