Instead, you got Sunoo—a messy, clumsy, and utterly unhelpful angel who seemed more like a walking disaster than a divine helper. All you could think of was asking God for a refund, because with Sunoo around, your life was about to get a lot more chaotic… and maybe a little brighter, too.

It all made sense then; he wasn't just your average student. Little did he know, you were hiding a secret of your own—one that mirrored his in more ways than one. Two forces of nature, each with powers as different as night and day, destined to collide. As they say, opposites attract, but in your case, they might just ignite.

ꕥ ketchup; — jay drabble, wc: 887, genre: humor, fluff

it was supposed to be just another day hanging out with jay—like always. you were best friends, inseparable since you’d met. he’d always been the one to tease you, make fun of your clumsy moments, and complain whenever you dragged him shopping. it was the same routine. or so you thought.

but something was off today. a strange, unspoken tension hung in the air, one you were definitely not prepared for.

“are you seriously buying another hoodie?” jay asked, holding up the plain black hoodie you had just picked out at the store. “you have like, fifty of these.”

“i do not!” you protested, snatching the hoodie from him and holding it defensively. “i need variety.”

“right. ‘variety,’” jay mimicked, rolling his eyes but chuckling. “you know, one day, your closet is just going to be a sea of hoodies and i’ll have to rescue you from it.”

you laughed, pushing his shoulder playfully. “you’re exaggerating.”

he laughed too, but then, out of nowhere, you caught him staring at you. really staring. his usual smirk was gone, replaced by something softer, something… different. your heart did a weird flip, and you blinked at him, confused.

“what?” you asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious. “do i have something on my face?”

jay snapped out of his daze, blinking rapidly and shaking his head. “n-no, nothing. you’re good.”

he said it too quickly. suspiciously quick. you narrowed your eyes at him, but before you could press further, he grabbed your arm and dragged you toward the next aisle.

“come on, let’s finish up before you bankrupt yourself,” he said, his voice almost nervous.

later, when you both decided to grab something to eat, the weird tension hadn’t gone away. you were seated across from each other at the diner, laughing about a funny meme you’d seen, when suddenly, out of nowhere, jay reached across the table and tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. it was such a simple gesture, but it sent your brain into complete chaos.

you froze, your eyes wide. “uh… what are you doing?”

jay, equally frozen, blinked like he had no idea what just happened either. “i—I don’t know.”

you both stared at each other in silence for a beat, the moment feeling oddly charged. then, the realization hit you like a freight train.

oh no.

did you… like jay?

suddenly, your entire dynamic felt different, like the world had shifted, and now you couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that his hand had just brushed against your cheek. and how nice it felt.

“are we…” you started, not even knowing where to begin with that sentence. “is this… weird?”

jay blinked, looking equally panicked. “i—uh, no? i don’t know. maybe?”

the two of you sat there in awkward silence, both of you clearly trying to process what the heck was happening. the food came, but neither of you made a move to eat.

and then, chaos struck.

jay, in his anxious state, reached for the ketchup bottle a little too aggressively. the cap wasn’t screwed on properly, and the next thing you knew, ketchup exploded all over the table—and on you.

you gasped, staring at your now ketchup-stained shirt. jay’s eyes widened in horror.

“oh my god,” he whispered, completely mortified. “i—I didn’t mean to—”

you burst out laughing. the absurdity of the situation, the chaos of the moment, and the strange tension between you suddenly felt too much, and you couldn’t help but laugh.

jay, still wide-eyed, looked at you like you’d lost your mind. “are you… laughing?”

“y-yes,” you choked out, trying to wipe ketchup off your face. “this is just—this whole day is a mess!”

he blinked, and then, to your surprise, he started laughing too. hard. the tension broke, and soon, the two of you were doubled over, laughing so hard you could barely breathe.

when you finally managed to calm down, jay glanced over at you, his expression softening as he wiped a tear from his eye. “you know, even covered in ketchup, you’re kind of cute.”

your heart did another flip, but this time, it felt… nice. comfortable. like this was where you were supposed to be.

“and you,” you said, grinning at him, “are a complete disaster. but i guess i kind of like that about you.”

jay’s grin grew wider, his eyes sparkling. “oh? you like me, huh?”

your face flushed, realizing what you’d just said, but instead of denying it, you shrugged, feeling bold. “maybe i do.”

jay leaned across the table, still grinning but now with a softer expression. “good. because i think i’ve liked you for a while now.”

your heart raced, but this time, you didn’t feel the need to run from the chaos. you smiled, leaning in closer to meet him halfway. “well, mr. hoodie critic, what are we going to do about it?”

jay smirked, reaching for your hand and lacing his fingers with yours. “i don’t know. but i’m pretty sure whatever it is, it’s going to be a disaster—and i’m here for it.”

you laughed again, shaking your head. “perfect. as long as you bring the ketchup.”

he laughed, and just like that, the world felt right again—messy, chaotic, but full of the kind of energy that only came with realizing that you’d fallen for your best friend.

Summaries under cut

Long Xiaojiao teams up with several other streamers, including speed painter Marcy Wu, conspiracy theorist Todoroki Shoto, and figurine maker Gangle, to play Mario Party for charity. Shenanigans happen, including magic outbursts, old bullies popping up in chat, and general chaos.

While working on marketing and such for the park, Ed finds Indigo Park’s long list of lawsuits. The biggest one happened when Rambley’s animatronic body glitched and murdered a young employee. Weirdness abounded with the lawsuit of Indigo Park vs Playtime Co.

To boost morale for the anniversary of Elliot Ludwig’s death, Playtime Co. sponsors a happy hour at a nearby bar for the workers. However, the phrase “loose lips sink ships” rings true, especially when those lips are loosened by alcohol enough to share stories of several weird occurrences. The toys and children alike aren’t sure what to think when, the next day, they’re set free.

After learning about his parentage, Mikey sneaks inside an art auction of Hamato Yoshi’s art, learning both about his father and Draxum.

College AU: Cole's life is going to shit. Nya and Jay have been acting weird around him since that carnival game decided that he was Nya's soulmate. Hoping to ease the tension, he asks the cute waiter at his favorite restaurant to act as his fake date on a double date with Nya and Jay. The waiter's only stipulation? That his boyfriend watch the drama from another table.

Red Son gets turned on by Qi Xiaotian's hero speeches. Xiaotian notices. Smut.

That one fic I mentioned to @twinklecupcake: AU of Pignapped where Tang and the kids instead land in the capture where Zhu Bajie joins the journey and must work with Sun Wukong and Tripitaka to wrangle the pig. What Tang also finds is a rival over his husband- Blue Orchid.

Based on this post, the gang is hired to investigate the rumors of a bunny animatronic ghost overnight. The truth is a little more tricky.

In an AU where Dipper decides to stay with Ford, Mabel's parents aren't happy when their daughter turns up sans brother, especially when they learn who he's with.

A year after her husband is sealed, Princess Iron Fan stumbles across the god of marriage Yue Lao and decides to ask who her son will marry. The answer enrages her.

AU: The costar of famed actor Red Son is terrified of his true form...which is an issue considering they're doing an erotic version of Beauty and the Beast. However, one of the caterers doesn't mind beef. Smut.

Sneak Peak of 'Born Slippy' (a Curt/Ken installment in the 'Our House' universe)

He met Bucky in high school, or John as he was called back then, sometimes even Jay by some of the stoner kids he used to hang out with when he wanted to smoke for free. Joining a new school in the middle of the year was never a good look so Curt's head ticked over every eventuality on the long drive from New York to Chicago. Planning for every possible problem. Strategy, he told himself, as if making people love you was as simple as a game of Risk. Who did he want to be? He knew had it in him to be a lot of things - the fighter, the class clown, the burnout stoner-kid or the mysterious new boy. He even considered being the gay kid, holding the possibility between the tips of his fingers as if it might bite him, latch onto him like a facehugger and worm its way down his throat until he didn’t have a choice but let it out, guts and all. 

On the first day at his new school Curt walked into a classroom in chaos. A dark-haired boy in a backwards Yankees cap was at the centre of it, standing on a desk and singing an almost unrecognisable rendition of “Don’t You Want Me,” to a girl who clearly could not want him any less if she tried. When he realised that his efforts were in vain he scanned the class for a new victim, his eyes lighting up when he saw the new kid walk through the door, overstuffed backpack still on and wearing an expression that said please, god, no. 

Of course that only spurred the crazy boy on further so he dove toward Curt, taking his arm in his own and swinging him around in a circle as he belted out. 

“I was working as a waitress at a cocktail bar.”

And that was how Curt discovered that the double-role of gay class clown was already taken by a six foot two lunatic by the name of John Egan. Though it would be a lot longer before he understood that the other boy’s daily antics were a result of the fact that his father could barely stand to look at him. None of that mattered though, not who their families were or where they had come from. What they shared that day, as complete strangers at 9am on a Monday morning in front of the dismayed faces of their classmates, was something deeper.

In that moment his fate was decided, Curt settling straight into his new role as co-class-clown as John approached the chorus of the song and he thought fuck it and joined in, the two of them marching around the classroom for a painful, ecstatic few seconds before they were silenced by the arrival of the homeroom teacher. 

She frowned at the commotion before asking sheepishly. 

“Curtis Biddick?” 

“Yes, maam,” he replied, unhooking his arm from John’s as the taller boy collapsed in a heap of giggles. 

“Curty boy!” John echoed, slapping his leg and biting his lip in amusement as the homeroom teacher pointed Curt to his desk and he sat down, cheeks blazing red but unable to hide his grin.

Curt told that story many, many times in the years that came after as he and John followed one another from skate parks to sports bars to bona-fide nightclubs. He told it so many times that even he began to doubt its validity. Unsure which parts had been embellished from one blurry night to the next, the two of them taking it in turns to add the next line as if it were a scripted sketch in a comedy show. People were right to doubt it, it sounded fake as hell, but this was the story they told and therefore that was the story that mattered. When the two of them were together things just seemed to happen and besides - they were still best friends, what more proof could you want?

[fang-revives]

Yes please drop your Jay White match recs I would owe you my life!!! Those gif sets of White and Okada have been rotting my brain for the last two days now I need to know what their deal is 😭

HIIII!!! Sorry it took me a day-ish to get to this but I’m so excited to drop some match recs! 

So the gifs driving us all up the wall are mainly from the conclusion of Wrestle Kingdom 17 (link: https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTkzMjA1ODM0OA==.html?playMode=pugv&frommaciku=1 ), the main event! In many ways, this is the denouement for Jay White, the last step towards a devastating spiral that would see him exiled from NJPW just two big matches from this moment. It was also the first match I saw that really made me obsessed with them, so of course, I recommend it passionately as a first go even if it is at the end :) 

Post match comments are also basically required viewing, featuring Jay at his most pathetic and gut-wrenching (https://youtu.be/UxIM0FkYoSY?t=693 )

I think the overarching thing to understand about Jay and Okada’s whole deal is that it’s a very simple wrestling story at its core. Okada is the golden boy, the ace, the native heir to New Japan’s wrestling legacy. Jay is the gaijin, the heel outsider, good but willing to do whatever it takes to put himself at the top. But they both bring really really good layers to their roles that brings something new to every time they clash in the ring. And they’re both just, of course, really fucking good in ring, as top guys have wont to be. 

Jay is compelling because he is in many ways equal parts caring and conniving in his role as Bullet Club leader. He takes the time to have fun and gas up his teammates, even get goofy with them in a way that hardline Bullet Club leaders shy away from– but every so often this insecurity rears up that drives him to pre-emptively stab back. This is also present in his in-ring work– he starts as a cocky upstart heel who can truly out-wrestle opponents and cheats in a kind of cheeky “because I can” way. But into the 2021 ish you start to see him using the cheating as more of a crutch because of his insecurities, and it’s eating away at him. By the time this WK17 match has happened, he’s IWGP champ, yes, but he’s also pre-emptively backstabbed two core members of his Bullet Club and his kind of a deranged wreck. 

Okada’s whole deal really starts with Hiroshi Tanahashi – and I haven’t deep-dived their series, but there’s a pair of great summary videos if you want the supplemental reading here: https://archive.org/details/showbuckle-pack/The+Battle+for+Ace+of+NJPW+Okada+vs+Tanahashi+Part+1.mp4 .  What I love about Okada is that even though he’s mainly in kayfabe a cocky little shit grown into the role of New Japan’s ace, off-duty he’s a really silly weird dude (no, really – Shinsuke Nakamura in his autobiography referred to him as “the weirdest guy he’s ever met”. Let that sink in, I’m sure Shinsuke has met so many weird dudes). Anyways, in the few moments where Okada is off-duty as ace, he’s done some real compelling and memorable character work. 

Which brings me to the actual next set of match recs – the Balloon Okada / Jay White’s initial rise to prominence in NJPW. This was a fantastic co-incidence of storytelling that really cemented being obsessed with their rivalry to me. Jay had just come back from excursion as “Switchblade”, and was coming in hot; with a title challenge to Tanahashi right from the get-go, teasing joining Bullet Club only to ratfuck Kenny Omega (then Bullet Club leader), and nab the IWGP US belt. And he joined up with Okada’s faction, CHAOS. 

Okada was just coming off of the IWGP-belt reign of his life, a record-breaking reign after he finally unseated Tanahashi to ascend as the ace. But when he lost the belt to Kenny Omega, it triggered a super weird mid-life crisis in him, the “balloon Okada” era. He dyed his hair an ugly red. He changed his gear to long bois (which everyone hated! Covering up those thighs is a crime!!!), he yells SCOOBY DOOBY DOO as he’s jumping off the ropes. He was weird. Because he didn’t know who he was without that belt. Here’s my favourite summary article about that: https://www.how2wrestling.com/articles/okada-and-the-portrayal-of-a-crisis 

So with that, I recommend for you three other matches! 

Destruction in Kobe 2018, Tanahashi vs. Okada but Jay is there I pinky promise. Also heck Tana and Okada are just Really Fucking Good so enjoy :)  (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1kW411z7Sv/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click ) 

Wrestle Kingdom 13, Okada vs. Jay White (https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1j4411F7g9/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click ) 

G1 Supercard, Okada vs. Jay White(https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV15b411u7Q8/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click ).

If you’ve ever heard Jay bray about “selling out Madison Square Garden” that’s this match! It’s also super fucking funny that he credits that all to himself considering Okada is like. The Guy in Japan lol <3 love him 

There are some other matches narratively in between – if you’re really in for it you can check out Jay getting the IWGP belt off Tana. But for the OkadaJay highlights, these would be a great place to start. Something about a rivalry that shakes you out of your worst moment (Okada) and gets that fighting spirit going in you again…

Anyways, if you’ve read all this, thank you, and enjoy! Would love to hear how you liked the matches, and let me know if you find any other recs, it’s very possible I haven’t seen em yet – big back-catalogue :”)

How tech changed global labor struggles for better and worse

The original sin of both tech boosterism and tech criticism is to focus unduly on what a given technology does, without regard to who it does it to and who it does it for. When it comes to technology’s effect on our daily lives, the social arrangements matter much more than the feature-sets.

This is the premise behind my idea of the “shitty technology adoption curve”: if you want to do something horrible to people with technology, you must first inflict it on people without social power and then work your way slowly up the privilege gradient, smoothing the tech’s rough edges by sanding them against the human bodies of people who can’t fight back.

Thus we see the rise of all disciplinary technology, especially bossware, which started off monitoring forced prison labor, then blue-collar workers, then pink collar workers (like the largely female, largely Black work-from-home customer service reps who work for Arise):

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/22/paperback-writer/#toothless

The pandemic saw the spread of bossware to affluent, “high-skilled” white-collar workers, from doctors to teachers to IT workers, as the idea of being monitored continuously in your own home, from camera to keystrokes, was normalized by the lockdown:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/02/24/gwb-rumsfeld-monsters/#bossware

And yet, what matters about bossware isn’t what it does — a keylogger that you control is just called “undo” — but who it does it to. When gig workers “seize the means of reproduction” and hack the apps that boss them around, they can turn the tables. That’s what’s happening in Indonesia, where Tuyul apps are produced by worker co-ops and small software vendors to give drivers direct control over their working conditions:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/07/08/tuyul-apps/#gojek

This is true disruption, where tech isn’t just used for regulatory arbitrage (as when gig-work apps are used to avoid labor laws by misclassifying workers as contractors):

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/21/contra-nihilismum/#the-street-finds-its-own-use-for-things

That’s what makes Rida Qadri’s research so exciting: the premise that if workers can hack their employers back, bossware can become laborware:

https://www.wired.com/story/disruption-mobility-platforms-politics/

In the USA, companies like Para are creating apps that sit on top of the gig work dispatch apps, monitoring all the offers from all the different apps and auto-declining offers that are too low, forcing the algorithm to bid up the labor share of the companies’ income:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/tech-rights-are-workers-rights-doordash-edition

Writing for IT for Change’s outstanding inaugural “State of Big Tech” issue, the Vidhi Centre For Legal Policy’s Jai Vipra presents “Changing Dynamics of Labor and Capital,” a deep, essential look at the way that tech affects labor struggles around the world:

https://projects.itforchange.net/state-of-big-tech/changing-dynamics-of-labor-and-capital/

Vipra’s report is fascinating not just for the eye-watering new ways that capital uses tech to inflict pain on labor, but for the ingenious, effective mechanisms that workers use tech to answer power with countervailing power.

For example, when workers delivering for the Swiggy app were unable to get the company to respond to the ways that the app was driving them into unsustainable and dangerous working schedules, they staged a “log-out strike” and collectively withheld their labor from the app, triggering a crisis that management couldn’t ignore.

Likewise, drivers for Ola began mass-cancelling rides to protest the company’s policy of not showing drivers their destinations and pay until they accepted a job — the resulting chaos forced the company to let drivers see all the details of an offer of work before accepting it.

These direct actions are driven in part by the platforms’ relentless pursuit of a reduced wage-bill, which sees them laying off swathes of back-office workers who once stepped in to mediate between gig workers and their algorithmic managers. When you can’t get anyone on the phone or a livechat to complain that your app wants you to drive off a pier and into the deep blue sea, collective digital power swings into action.

The Shitty Tech Adoption Curve means that we find the tactics of gig drivers working their way up the privilege gradient to white-collar workers, and sure enough, in Mar 2021, Goldman Sachs bankers coordinated a threat of mass resignation over the bossware monitoring them in their homes 24/7, complaining of 105 hour (!!) work-weeks:

https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2021/03/28/goldman-sachs-overwork-accusation-hits-nerve-as-pandemic-blurs-work-life-line-.html

But ad-hoc coordination has its limits. Spinning up a new organizing group to counter each new bossware fuckery exacts a terrible price from already overstretched, precarious workers. That’s where unions come in. On the face of it, unionizing gig workers presents an insurmountable challenge: they are atomized, geographically dispersed and lack even a break room.

But tech taketh away and it giveth back. When Uber Eats bait-and-switched drivers into signing up in 2016 and then slashed their wages, organizers connected with other workers by placing small food orders with Uber Eats and then had organizing conversations with the drivers who delivered the orders:

https://www.ft.com/content/88fdc58e-754f-11e6-b60a-de4532d5ea35

Bosses push back. They’ve convinced gutless labor regulators to ban the use of work email addresses for union organizing; they send infiltrators to monitor private Facebook conversations, they plant spyware on phones and laptops to crack open Whatsapp group-chats. Location-aware ID badges let bosses follow workers around and target potential union organizers for retaliatory firings.

The same monitoring tools let bosses nickel-and-dime their workers, clocking them off while they’re “unproductive” (peeing, driving to pick up their next passenger or delivery, or only paying retail workers while a customer is in the shop).

It’s a mixed bag: in China, independent workers’ rights centers work almost exclusively through social media, “for both direct consultations and mass dissemination of information, and this use is contributing to the organizing of labor as well.”

And ironically, monopoly helps labor organizers: the rollup plays that have seen most CloudKitchens gathered into the hands of a few firms means that their workers are more likely to be physically proximate and able to organize labor resistance to their monopolist bosses.

A common labor complaint in the age of digitalization is that their bosses monitor and discipline them for their off-hours activities: think of Deutsche Welle and the AP firing journalists who used their personal social media accounts to express support for Palestinians’ struggle for justice.

Bossware vendors boast that they can monitor workers’ personal online activity “to help them stay focused” — something 72% of workers object to. It’s easy to see how this can become a focus of labor activism, especially as employers announce that they will fire any worker who refuses to supply a full list of their social media accounts for monitoring:

https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/all-things-work/pages/watching-the-workers.aspx

The next level of personal surveillance comes from “voluntary” health monitoring in which employees are required to wear Fitbits or other biometric tracking tools, or face increases to their health care premiums and other penalties. This is bad enough, but these biometric companies are choice acquisition targets for the biggest surveillance companies in the world, which means that you might one day wake up and find out that the data from your employer-mandated tracking cuff is now in Google’s hands:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/google-fitbit-merger-would-cement-googles-data-empire

Neoliberalism got us into this mess, and tech was its willing accomplice. But Vipra makes a good case that tech can “increase the negotiating power of labor over capital.” For Vipra, this starts with access to data: in India, “analog” workers have the legal right to know their employers’ profit margins, which is key for collective bargaining. But digital workers don’t have this right:

https://medium.com/tech-people/new-labour-codes-explained-48a4679d4a29

Giving gig workers the right to their own performance data would help those workers secure competitive bids for their labor — denying workers access to this data is anti-competitive:

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/09/workplace-data-rights-regulation/

This same data can be used to make the case for regulation and unionization: when it’s your word against your boss’s, it might be hard to interest public officials in protecting your working conditions. But when the data shows that gig workers are putting in 12–18 hour days without overtime, the case is harder to ignore:

https://www.justjobsnetwork.org/wp-content/pubs/reports/transformations_in_technology_report.pdf

Modern employers collect vast amount of data about their workers, but share almost none of it. Again, the important thing isn’t what the tech is doing, but who it’s doing it for and who it’s doing it to.

Vipra also singles out the one-sided nature of the platforms’ use of payment technologies. Modern payment systems mean that gig work platforms collect their customers’ money in near-realtime, but despite this, gig companies are the most delay-prone employers, paying workers after totally unjustifiable delays that give bosses free cash flow and force workers into precarity.

https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/08/former-head-of-mint-raises-4-5m-for-lean/

After this critique, Vipra proposes “a substantive agenda for labor” in five areas: algorithmic regulation, data sharing, remote work rights, financial rights, and “emancipatory automation.”

Algorithmic regulation: Algorithms should have “a minimum level of explainability”; “minimum performance levels” (error rates, transparency, etc); and “human involvement in decision making” must be mandatory (so you can get prompt and effective redress when the algorithm misfires).

Data sharing: Don’t just “data minimize” — “reorient it towards goals that are worker- and society-friendly.” Collect and share data on labor safety, and mandate that companies “collect, analyze, and share big data to protect workers’ rights.”

Remote work rights: The right to disconnect from work; the right to be paid for work equipment, including chairs, internet access, etc (I would add here, the right to have those devices configured to block employer monitoring).

Financial rights: The state should mandate financial interoperability and use account aggregators and open banking to “minimize[] the information asymmetry in favor of people for whom information is collateral.” Force platforms to disclose the commissions, fees, incentives, etc they offer to workers. Provide source-code for these systems to regulators.

Emancipatory automation: “Automation should mean less drudgery and fewer working hours overall.” This is what I’m getting at when I call for technologists to become full-stack Luddites:

https://locusmag.com/2022/01/cory-doctorow-science-fiction-is-a-luddite-literature/

Overall, Vipra presents a bracing, challenging view of the way that tech can serve both labor and capital, depending on how it is configured and used. I don’t agree with everything she says (the privacy section in data rights could use its own article of equal depth and critical analysis), but reading this made the hair on the back on my neck stand up (in a good way).

This is more or less what I had in mind back in 2009 when I was writing For the Win, about how multiplayer games could serve as organizing platforms for an international labor vanguard (the Industrial Workers of the World Wide Web, or Webblies):

An angry blindness 1/2

Who doesn't fight?

Anybody fights either it's siblings or workers, everybody has something to say.

But what can happend if words hit to hard?

If he could only use one word to describe his hotheaded brother Cole would use: reckless. It seems no matter what mission their on Kai always finds a way to make Cole's inside to twitch when he does something dumb without any second thoughts or planning. Why he does what he does, Cole could never fully understand and it seems that no matter how many times he brings the topic to his brother, Kai waves a hand saying it’s no big deal and it’s fun.

And if that wasn’t enough to add to his list, Kai could be quite selfish going on and on about how he wished he was the one that did that and became this. Loving the attention it gave him when he saved the day and always seemed to think more about himself than others but that doesn’t mean his brother cared, if anything Kai was one of the most caring people he could’ve met in his life. If only he could stop his brother from going head first into danger and take a second to think.

Which brought them today.

The day had started fine, the team had just started training when an alarm from the city popped up alerting them to an attack in the town again. When they arrived the place was in chaos, people were running for their lives, some were trapped in buildings and the mastermind was standing in the street breaking things and stealing.

The battle lasted less time than usual, however at a moment the attacker had gotten the best of them, and leaving Cole and Zane open to an attack neither could dodge fast enough. However, the attack didn't faze them, before either could react Kai had sprung into action running in front countring the attack with his fire. The two attackers met in a tug-of-war battle neither end weakening the other, until Kai lost his footing giving the attacker an open window and slamming him into a tree, luckily Jay and Nya managed to stop the attacker, thanks to him being distracted by winning.

When things began to calm down, Cole immediately went up to his hotheaded brother sitting on a rock as an ambulance looked him over.

“YOU LOST YOUR MIND” Cole yelled at Kai, anger clearly shown.

“You could've gotten hurt” 

“Uh, you're welcome,” Kai said unbothered.

“We could’ve han-”

“No” Kai cut him off. “You both aint that fast” 

“And that gives you a right to put yourself at risk” Cole replied, looking like he wanted to give Kai a few good wacks upside the head.

“I stopped the villain”

“You almost got seriously hurt” Pointing to his bandage shoulder.

“Puh-please This is nothing” Kai huffed, rolling his eyes.

“It could’ve been nothing, were you thinking more clearly” Cole hissed. “It’s always reckless behavior from YOU. You never think twice before doing anything!!” Cole yelled. “And if that isn’t enough to me, is your constant way of thinking everything is about YOU when it never was. Did you ever consider the consequences of your actions” He growled.

“I…. Cole of co-” Kai started, but again Cole cut him off.

“I’ll answer that for you. No, you didn’t!” Cole hissed. “I’m tired of it dude. I’m sick and tired of your attitude and the way you treat your own life like it’s a game. You can’t keep pulling these stunts like it’s nothing. Do you know how selfish that is?” He growled, getting in Kai’s face and poking his finger on the teens chest hard.

“Pull your act together… or else”

“You know what!” Kai stood up. “Forget this. Met you back home” He summoned his dragon and took to the sky.

A heavy sigh, Cole ran his hand through his dark locks.

“That boy, gonna give me gray hair faster than my dad”

“Be more careful Cole” A voice cut in.

Turning around he was met with the rest of the team, with Nya stepping forward.

“Careful?!” Blinking his eyes.

Seeing the earth ninja reaction Nya replied. “There’s alot going on in Kai’s life”

“I just wish Kai was less reckless and more cautious” He countered back, tired of his brother’s streak of reckless decisions abes of his selfishness

“It’s not how he copes” 

Cole looked to Nya for an explanation.

She never replied back instead took to the sky to leave behind a frustrated and confused Cole.

----------Time Skip----------

None of them saw much of Kai the next day. Cole glanced at his bedroom door at one point just to confirm his suspicion that his fiery brother was hiding out in his bedroom. Cole respected Kai’s need for privacy, so he did not bother him. And instead took his time and attention into finding the fiery brother’s siblings which wasn’t usually that hard except for the past days she seems to keep away from Cole. 

If she saw him in one direction she would head the other avoiding him completely.

But one day his luck hit. It was a sunny day and the team got a break from training to enjoy the day and it was there on the deck that he found the master of water leaning on the railing looking out at the ocean.

Forming a plan in his head he approached gently.

“So what’s up with mister Pride and Tall” Cole joked, getting to the point, sitting on the railing on the Destiny bounty, feet dangling in the air. 

She glanced up at him briefly before going back to the ocean.

“You're right,” Nya began. “There are better solutions for Kai to do.…. but that doesn’t mean he’s selfish”

“You're sure,” Cole said sarcastically. “It takes a lot to get past that thick skull of his” 

“Cole” Nya interrupted. “It’s hard to understand Kai’s actions at times I get it. However.... selfish in battle, was never my brother’s way even if it looks that way. Is it annoying when he runs head-first into battle without planning…. yes, but I get why he does it”

Cole raised his eyebrows “What you mean”

Nya sighed. “Life back home wasn’t all happy, after losing mom and dad. None of the adults wanted to help us, forcing Kai to take on the role as adult to the two of us” Nya said in a low voice. “While growing up I never thought much of it…. then I did. I was allowed to play games, eat homemade food that I didn't have to cook, I even got to go to school” Nya smiled at all the memories she had of her childhood but that smile fell fast. “But while I was out there having fun, Kai went straight to work and when I did ask him to play he was always too tired or busy”

Nya looked at Cole. “Now all you guys are by his side and that’s a huge blessing for him… and me” She whispered the last part. “You gave Kai what he’s missing" 

The air around them got silent.

"Kai got a new freedom" Cole stood in disbelief, he didn’t anticipate an answer like that. 

"Back home he barely had any time to himself, taking care of me, going straight to the blacksmith to work and doing his best alone to defend our home when others wouldn't come for our aid" Nya said softly. “After joining the team Kai has more free time, has discovered more about himself and has a moment to breathe”

"I don't think you guys realize how loyal Kai is to this team. There’d always been the instinct to check up on everybody around him before assessing his own wellbeing. That doesn’t change, and I don’t think it ever will. Kai would endure hell if it meant not an ounce of pain would touch our heads"  Nya explained.

‘Sigh’

"You guys keep saying Kai wishes he was that and he wishes he was the one that did that…. and to you, it might sound selfish and dumb and maybe it is a few times… but to me" 

Cole’s hand came around her shoulders, patting her gently.

“Nya'' Cole interjected, gently locking eyes with her. "Your brother is smart….. no doubt however if he keeps playing the hero something gonna go wrong" 

"If Kai keeps doing this, we'll have somebody keep him in check," Cole offered.

However his idea was not met nicely, what happened next happened so fast Cole didn’t have time to react.

Nya- moving fast as lightning, shoved him off the railing, the ship was on the sea luckily, but that didn’t stop him from making a huge splash drawing the attention of the others including Pixal with shocked and confused faces.

He resurfaced only seconds later coughing up water, turning his head to look at his team. 

“MAN OVERBOARD!”

“You okay?”

“When I said you smelled bad I didn’t mean that bad”

“COLE?!"

Cole blocked out his team's frantic words, averting his eyes at the master of water.

“Nya”

She shook her head disappointed.

With a swift, practiced motion of her hands the water wrapped around him with a good grip then shooting him out of the water and flat on the deck.

Cole was completely baffled and also looked quite pensive at Nya’s behavior. He understood absolutely nothing anymore as Nya turned on her heels and began to make her way back inside. Cole began shaking water off himself, as he accepted a towel from Pixal.

"Dude" Jay helped him up.

"What was that?" Lloyd asked.

"I have no clue. We were just talking about Kai’s reckless behavior and I mention we should keep an eye on him, she pushed me overboard"

With those words, he ran after Nya, dumbfounded, unable to believe how the conversation had taken such a turn. Instead, he almost collided with Garmadon at the doorway, who had been watching Nya with confusion as she disappeared inside.

"What's going on…?

He blinked and noticed his student wet clothes.

"Cole?" 

"Nya pushed me in the water" Admitted Cole, embarrassed trying to go after Nya, but Garmadon held him back.

"How about you join me after you change" It wasn't much of a question, more of a statement.

Cole ran his hands through his damped hair.

"Hay Sensei" Garmadon let him pass as he went to change to dry clothes.
