Application QnA!

If accepted, would it be possible to be credited with a pen name not associated with ones’ tumblr account/common @ handles upon zine publication? *Wanting to participate with a specific character zine, however, remain unaffiliated with the media/fandom it resides from.

Yes! Once you make it to the zine (If you do) You can aska moderator if it's possible to go by a different pen name! We will gladly help you.

Will there be an overarching theme of the zine that my piece should fit in with?

Nope! We have decided that this year it will NOT have any themes. Perhaps next year!

I have a lot but what I'm most curious about are specifics! Stuff that I would only need to worry about IF accepted. Any specific Morro design? Canvas size? How complicated/how many items would the drawing need?

The zine won't need a specific morro design! It is to celebrate and show love for a character in the fandom, so, fanon designs will be accepted. If you make it, our server will have specifics on what your piece will need regarding the layouts! Lastly, the drawing will have to be a fully rendered piece (No sketches, Lineart, or incomplete pieces) and will need at least a simple background.

Will there be an option to buy a print of the zine? I think that'd be awesome!

The zine will be free and ONLINE ONLY! We will see if next year we are able to make it a physical but for now it is a full on passion prject and experiment.

How would sending the image go? Would I be sending it to you via email?? Do u have a preferred image format (jpeg,png, etc)?

We will have a google Drive folder that will be open for our contributors to drop off their pieces. Also, PNG or PDFs will be the onky ones acceptable!

The zine Tumblr has lost of q&a but is there a specific link to a applicant rule sheet I'm missing & am I correct under the presumption that the zine is free & just for fun of it?

Yes the zine is free and just for people to enjoy, it was also made as a first zine gig for those who have never joined one.

how long do comics tend to be in these kind of zines? As this would be my first zine, I don't really have a point of reference. I can make my pitch work for any length but just wondering what is typical anyway :)

We are allowing people to let their comics be as long as needed. But, usually regular zines will let you do a 3-4 page comic!

For page artists, are we allowed to make multiple pieces? Also would it be possible to make a physical zine in the future? Thank you for this opportunity!

For now we are allowing ONE piece per contributor! And lastly, it might be alot more difficult to make a physical in the future as we might need more moderators, but only time will tell and we shall see!

Thats all for now, thank you so much for your questions! If you have anymore dont be shy to ask away.

I kinda wanna answer questions about Galaxy so imma make a QnA post thing!

I have several Galaxy AUs, I'll list as many as I can here, and you can ask about any of em!

Original!Galaxy/NinjagoMultiverseAU! Galaxy (this is her original storyline. I have most of the story in my head, and can probably answer any question. As per the name of this AU, its set in a multiverse, so FNaF, Murder Drones, Lackadaisy, WoF, Minecraft Story Mode, and all fictional universes are canon. She's only been to a few (out of the infinite universes, so yeah. Crystalized also took place a year after she ended up in Ninjago, as well as Morro's mortal return, so there's that!)

Murder Drones AU (Essentially Galaxy as a worker drone! I have most of this lore too!)

Pirates of the Caribbean AU (this is a relatively new one (by new, barely a week old), but I have a good chunk of lore!)

Deal with the Enemy (Lackadaisy) AU (this one I have a wip fic for! Questions might actually help me develop the story a bit!)

Blue visor!AU (basically, an au of my multiverse Au set in a post apocalyptic cyberpunk Ninjago. Galaxy's reputation has been ruined by an evil alternate version of herself, and has taken the identity of Blue Visor (the leader of the resistance) to hide her identity, and keep fighting after the ninja's deaths.)

WoF AU (this is very little developed. I have a design for her and a few details, but not too much. I'm hoping to get it developed a little more!)

MLP Infection AU (also a new one, and I don't have the infection fully developed yet, so questions would probably help with that! I have stat art for her, but I probably won't post until I can disable third party sharing (as I don't want my stuff shared with AI))

Spiderverse!AU (Galaxy as a spider woman. Don't have this one all that well developed, but she's in the same universe as Spiderverse Herobrine, and he's her mentor. I have designs of both (Gal's from a picrew), but again, I probably won't post the answer until I can disable that sharing setting.)

Evil!Galaxy (as this one suggests, this is Galaxy, but opposite. I wanted to play around with Galaxy's moral values, and flip them on their head. Takes place in an AU of the multiverse au.)

Guidelines:

No NSFW asks (THEY WILL BE DELETED, AND YOU'LL BE BLOCKED)

You're allowed to ask as many questions as you want, from as many different ones as you want! Just be sure to specify which each question belongs to!!^^

And here's her TH folder, in case y'all want to see what she looks like before asking! https://toyhou.se/GalaxyDragonshifter/characters/folder:4802082

The Flame and the Dragon Ch4

Chapter 4: The Duke

Kai sighed in relief as he dropped the bags at his feet and plopped down next to the equally exhausted Lloyd on the side of the town square fountain. The large, glistening fountain outside of city hall in the dead center of the entire city. Built only a handful of years ago, this fountain at the old town center was there to represent the importance of all generations, both young and old, and what they have to offer. Its position within the city was meant to represent the strong mind and balanced way of life the city strived for.

It was designed by Nya.

She had wonderfully captured the natural beauty of the region and used a personal style to convey her vision in this piece of art. Every element was crafted and created with deluxe materials from local suppliers, ensuring this monument will remain an important aspect of the community spirit for many more years.

"Think we got enough food?" He teased.

"Well, we got everything on Nya's list." Lloyd smiled. "You remembered the chocolate right?"

"Yes, I remembered the chocolate." Kai rolled his eyes playfully. Lloyd smiled and dug into his big brother's bag before pulling out a folder and opened. He thumbed through the pages until he found a small back of stapled pages and pulled out the top one, smiling before placing the pack in Kai's lap.

"Care to show your favorite little brother what you've been working on?" He flashed a bright smile and his infamous pleading look.

"Maybe later," Kai replied calmly, earning him a look of pure shock from the blond boy. Kai could never resist Lloyd's babyface when he wanted something. Kai just laughed and scooped his collection of papers in his hands before looking at the one Lloyd picked out. The poem was written in his hand above the image of a field of roses. At the heart was an ancient castle that dated back to the early 18th century. The only difference was this castle was pure white, each stone chiseled from stabs of pristine marble.

Lloyd leaned over his brother's shoulder, immediately engrossed in the detailed sketch of his big brother's.

"Jeez Kai, you could give Nya a run for her money."

"It's just a sketch."

"It's still awesome! Now, can I see the poem or not?" Lloyd pleaded with a whine in his voice.

"No!"

"But it's amazing!" He begged and giggled as Kai blushed.

"You think everything I write is amazing." He smiled, rolling his eyes.

"Because they are!" He insisted, kneeling over the side of the fountain to dig through Kai's folder. "Didn't you say that one goes with another poem or passage? Here it is!" He cheered in victory pulling out another passage Kai wrote and placed in his lap. "This one! I remember cuz when you were reading you had this really dreamy look on your face." His smile almost split in half at the dark blush suddenly covering Kai's face. He snatched both things away and stuffed them back in his folder.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, green bean." Kai insisted with a small smirk. It would have convinced anyone else despite the faint scarlet dusting Kai's cheeks, but not to Lloyd and Nya.

"Yes, you do! You wrote that about the Dragon Lord didn't you?" He smirked playfully. The brunette's eyes nearly bulged out of his skull at Lloyd's innocently smirking face.

"How do you know that?!" He spluttered, completely flabbergasted. The youngest Smith almost burst out laughing at his older brother's panic.

"I didn't, but it's written all over your face!" He gasped in between laughs. Growling in defeat, Kai ran his hand through his hair and sighed.

"Yes, they were inspired by the fairy tale, but no it's not about him, I wrote them after I had a dream." He explained as Lloyd blinked in bewilderment. "I know silly, right?"

"No! I wanna hear it!" He insisted widening his eyes. Rolling his eyes again, knowing Lloyd wouldn't let the subject drop, he continued.

"Alright, well, every night, I dream I'm in a field of flowers outside the castle and while I'm there, I hear a song playing and I follow it; then I see a man standing there holding the most beautiful music box I'd ever seen."

"Is he handsome?" Lloyd asked, teasingly, but Kai chose to ignore that question.

"The music was so lovely; it reminded me of the songs Mom and Dad used to sing to us, but in the most amazing voice I've ever heard." He sighed in awe. "The second I woke up, I just wrote the poem down and then I just couldn't get that man out of my head; I kept dreaming about him more and more." He explained unwittingly, letting his hidden passions seep into his voice; something that didn't go unnoticed by Lloyd. His smile only widened until it nearly split his face in half.

"You're in love~" He sang and Kai almost fell off the fountain. "You're in love with your dream prince!" He teased, with a smirk that put even his siblings to shame as he leaned over his older brother. "And don't try and deny it either, that might work on someone else, but not someone who's known you as long as I have!"

"The Dragon Lord is only a fairy tale, he's not real." Kai sighed, saddened, looking heavenward for assistance to his dilemma.

"Don't worry, bro; I'm sure you'll find your true love." Lloyd encouraged, leaning against the brunette's shoulder. Kai chuckled and ran his fingers through Lloyd's blond hair.

"You're a hopeless romantic, green bean."

"Hopeful." He corrected mischievously. Both boys broke into a fit of laughter until they were interrupted by the sound of a carriage and horses pulling to a stop. Just like that, everyone in town stopped to carry out the weekly ritual that was as practiced and routine as everything else in Ignacia. Everyone was more than happy to greet the two people that were exiting the carriage. The first to exit the expensive, flamboyant carriage was a middle-aged woman wearing a simple but expensive pale green dress.

Her long black hair was tied in a high ponytail by a pretty dark green ribbon, while her toxic green eyes glowed against her deathly-pale skin.

She was a noble maiden without a doubt, but she was not the reason everyone had stopped to stare. The man she turned and bowed her head to was. The brothers recognized his walk before he even stepped out of the carriage. He looked nobler than the woman. The man stepped out of the carriage adorned in a black suit that looked like the most expensive embroidery anyone had ever seen and a necklace of the finest craftsmanship. The outfit was only a simple outing suit but it was still the most expensive thing either brother had ever seen.

The pants alone probably cost more than their entre combined wardrobes.

His white gloves were molded the man's perfect hand and the suit hugged his muscles tightly. The newly polished shoes shined as he stepped down from the carriage. Men and women became lovestruck at his appearance and some people were instantly struck with jealousy or admiration. That combined with perfectly smooth, unblemished white skin, a perfect face, long jet black hair with a green streak in it, and ghostly green eyes, Duke Morro Vento was in every inch a fairy tale prince.

After all, Morro's family had founded the town and still owned it to this day.

Kai never realized how rehearsed Morro's walk was. It was coy and arrogant, just like his glances and his audacious smile. Morro must have returned from a successful trip because he seemed more arrogant today. Kai's gaze turned to Lloyd who nodded in understanding. Both boys picked up their books and the groceries, ready to leave. But a second too late, the duke's gaze found them and he smiled, a seductive smirk that Kai hated more than anything else.

Again he strolled over, cutting off their only exit before the two boys could sneak away.

"Hello, Kai." He smiled sweetly, but the teen saw right through it.

"That's Mr. Smith, your grace." He retorted with a hard gaze. At one point he may have been allowed Morro to call him by his first name, but he had lost that right years ago. Morro's predatory gaze immediately hardened when the brunette used his title instead of his name, though he'd told him time and time again he was allowed to. Kai simply refused to. It was so hard to believe that this arrogant and pompous man obsessed with luxury and social position was the same sweet and free-spirited kid the Smiths knew as children.

Morro's grandfather and their father Ray had been close friends for years.

It was solely because of Morro's grandfather the family moved to this town in the first place. Morro's grandfather had been Duke of the city and the peasants for almost sixty years. He had made it perfectly clear he was just as much a citizen of the town as the rest of the valley. He never cared for social status or reform and only for the well-being of the town and the citizens. As a result, the two families had been quite close. Morro was only two or three years older than Kai.

Sometimes their parents joked about the two of them getting married one day.

This was something Morro's parents took to heart for the future, especially as the children entered adulthood. Ray never considered the idea, especially since he knew none of the children seemed to like Morro in that manner. But once Morro's grandfather died and Ray fell ill, everything changed. Once Morro and his family took the role of Duke and Duchess, and delighted in the royal lifestyle, the Smiths saw less and less of Morro. He'd become too comfortable in the position of his family.

"How many times must I ask you to call me Morro, Kai?" The Duke smiled sweetly, hoping for a romantic response. The brunette just rolled his eyes and gathered his papers together before tying his folder closed. He lifted it to put it away but Morro suddenly snatched it.

"What are these, beautiful?" He asked with mock curiosity, flipping through the papers.

"Your grace, please return my property." He said and it took every ounce of Kai's willpower to remain civil. It was for the sake of his family's good name that he didn't snatch it from his hands and scold him like a child.

"Did you write all these, darling? You must have way too much time on your hands if you waste it scribbling away and reading books." He laughed and Kai growled at the mockery in Morro's voice.

"That's not true!" Lloyd exclaimed and was on his feet faster than anyone expected of the young boy. "Kai's an amazing writer, if you even bothered to read them instead of spending all your time in that stupid shack you call a palace, you'd recognize some good writing." He growled at the duke. A few eyes widened and jaws dropped at Lloyd's comment, but Morro paid the boy no mind and snapped the folder closed, holding it as if it were a discarded garment.

"Oh darling, you have so much promise; don't you think it is about time you got your head out of those silly stories and started paying attention to more important things?" He asked and his voice held a seductive purr that made Kai shiver in aggravation. "I mean, the whole town is talking about it! You spend all your time working at that little shop or reading, it is such a shame." He spoke in such a dreary tone as if Kai's life was that of an unfortunate pauper.

Kai closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair.

He let the duke rant, knowing full well he wouldn't care if he was paying attention to him or not. It had been this way since Morro became the Duke. He accepted the position with a smile and had since turned his ambitions to accustoming Kai to the royal life. The trio lost touch with him as a result, especially Kai, who rejected the idea of the rich and nobility; preferring a life of freedom away from petty, materialistic things. After all, he was perfectly happy living with his siblings where the three could carry out their dreams.

Of course, Morro didn't notice or even care.

"Of course, if you were married to a more... privileged person you wouldn't have to work a day in your life." Morro grinned as his emerald eyes fixed in a cruel seductive glint and met Kai's amber orbs.

"Marriage?" Kai repeated as his eyes widened. "I don't think so Morro, I like working and besides, I don't want to marry just anyone; now, please return my folder." He ordered, attempting to mask the hostility in his voice, holding out his hand.

"Oh, but it wouldn't be just anyone." Morro continued, ignoring the brunette, and held the folder out of his reach so Kai's gaze was fixed on him. "You of all people deserve far more than just anyone; you deserve someone beautiful, wealthy, well-respected-"

"Those are all material things, Morro, not what you should be looking for in marriage." Lloyd cut him off, his hands balled into fists at his sides.

"Give me my folder back, Duke Vento."

"You need someone who's known you since you arrived in this town, who's courted you for years." He smirked as he leaned closer to the brunette, irritation marring the seductive charm.

"I won't ask you again Morro, now stop acting childish and give me my stuff back!" Kai thundered in a harsh tone. Taken aback by the scolding and the looks of the townsmen, he regained his composure and with as much dignity as he could muster returned the folder to Kai.

"Very well, we'll talk later than; come along, Bansha, let us return home." He smiled as he gestured to the raven-haired girl, who followed obediently. Kai's amber eyes were almost red with rage until Lloyd pulled on his arm a bit. Kai's gaze turned to his little brother's curious stare.

"Is he really so naïve that he can't tell you're ignoring his flirting on purpose, or is he just acting?" He asked as he cocked his head cutely, making Morro suddenly freeze in his tracks and Kai burst into laughter, his anger forgotten. Morro turned around with a mortified look on his face. Did Kai's brother just insult him? Without even trying?

"How dare you!" He snapped, pointing accusingly, his composure shattered.

"Now, now, my lord." Kai chuckled. "He's only joking, come on Lloyd, let's get home before Nya wonders where we've been." He smirked and Lloyd smiled as the two scooped up the groceries and books and strolled past the duke and the noblewoman and down the street towards home. Once they were out of earshot of town and Morro, Kai turned to his smiling little brother.

"Thank you for that, green bean; I swear I would have beat the crap outta him if he called me 'darling' one more time."

"I don't know why you put up with him!" Lloyd asked with a snort. "You'd think it would finally penetrate that thick skull of his that you're not interested!"

"I doubt that." Kai sighed, annoyed. "Morro never was one to give up." He added and he knew that was true from experience. Morro had waited and tried for years to coax him to his side. "Hopefully when Nya wins this year, we'll finally have enough money to leave this miserable place." He smiled, confidently.

"I hope so!" Lloyd cheered. "Even I'm getting sick of this town, but I'd miss Dr. Saunders and Brad." He admitted. Kai hummed in understanding as he looked at the large clock tower and his eyes widened.

"Oh shit! Look what time it is!"

"We didn't even make dinner yet and you know what happened last time we got home late?" The youngest Smith groaned as he turned to his middle sibling with concern.

"Don't worry, Nya's a smart girl; she's not dumb enough to repeat her mistakes," Kai assured him. No sooner had Kai said those words, however, an explosion erupted from the Smith home, and thick black smoke pooled from the chimney and kitchen windows...

[thesoundofmadness]

Can you pls make some sad/angsty Lloyd headcannons? I’m having major sad boi hours rn. Thank you!

Anon, im super sorry you feel bad right now. If you need to vent or something, you can message me. Sorry if these aren’t the best, I’m kinda high on isolation, an energy drink, and Start Appreciating Cole You Fucks juice rn. I 

Lloyd represses his emotions so hard he can literally feel it. It feels like his organs are being pressed down, or his ribs start hurting 

He often tries convincing himself that he doesn’t care by repeating or writing the words “i don’t care” over and over

If he’s having a really bad day, he’ll lash out at the others for no reason. He’ll just start screaming, and then break down crying trying to apologize

He makes alot of vent art. He has dozens of folders holding a bunch of vent art he made. He keeps it hidden away so no one finds it

It’s rather hard for him to accept compliments. He wants so badly to believe he’s good enough, but with everything that has happened, he can’t.

He often does “childish” things like watch kid shows, play with toys, etc to try to “get back” the childhood he never had. 

Sometimes he actually goes into battle hoping to die, but only to realize that he’s actually completely afraid to die

if he doesn’t understand something, instead of asking for help, he’ll completely ignore it

The others have to be really careful about what they say around Lloyd. They can’t mention Morro, Harumi, or even Garmadon. It triggers him and causes him to have a crying fit. 

He listens to alot of ansgty rock music. Citizen Solider, Starset, a bit of Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, whatever. 

He feels left out and unneeded alot of the time. He just wants to be useful, basically

i hope you feel better soon anon!!

The Flame and the Dragon Ch3

Chapter 3: The Library

Far off across the rolling hills and lush countryside, Kai caught sight of the woods, trees alight with leaves of red, brown, orange, and gold, like blazing fire. They were some of his favorite colors. The cliffside rumored to lead out of the valley and past an old castle that had been abandoned for a little over a century, towering over the green and flaming colored landscape. It was almost like it was beckoning the dreamer to join its life outside the sheltered ways of the town.

A smile played across Kai's face.

One day he was getting out of this lame provincial life, and he will never look back. Soon a small grey stone building came into view and both brothers smiled as they strolled up the stone path and through the small oakwood doors. Despite all he had seen in his youth of traveling with his family, Kai found no place more magnificent than Ignacia's library. The building's walls and shelves were lined with books from ceiling to floor like an enormous labyrinth.

Some were so high that tall ladders were placed on casters at different intervals.

Though small, books were everywhere and these were no ordinary books. These books were bound in leather or velvet with strong locks and clasps of brass and silver. Their spines were studded with jewels that glowed in the pale light of dozens of candles hanging from the enormous iron-clad chandeliers hanging overhead. The floors were polished wood. In the center of the room and the labyrinth of shelves sat several desks carved from wood with matching chairs.

At the head of the library stood a much more ornamental desk with vines engraved into the side of the wooden slab.

Sitting behind it with an eccentric smile, an elderly man rose to his feet, a long grey mustache falling from his face while his rich brown eyes gleamed from behind a pair with thin black glasses. When he saw them he gave them a friendly smile.

"I was wondering when you boys would arrive." He greeted on a loud, unusual accent. "I'd almost given up waiting."

"Sorry, Dr. Saunders." Kai smiled politely, "Just here to return the books I borrowed." He explained digging through his bag while Lloyd scurried off to find something to read.

"Finished already?" Dr. Saunders asked in feigned surprise.

"I couldn't put it down." The brunette replied with a chuckle, handing him the two books before strolling over and scanning the shelves. "I don't suppose you have anything new do you?"

"Not since yesterday, I'm afraid."

"Alright, then I'll just take this one." Kai requested before picking up a leather-bound book.

"That one?" Dr. Saunders repeated, his fingers dancing over the gold lettering. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've checked this one out at least once a month since you moved here, haven't you?"

"Can't help it, it's my favorite." Kai blushed sheepishly. "No matter how many times I read it, it leaves me on the edge of my seat, the ending makes my heart race and I continue getting frustrated when I turn to the last page and I can never read the end; I really wanna know what happens." Kai voiced, unintentionally expressing his obsession. Dr. Saunders's grin couldn't get any wider. The librarian placed a comforting hand on the teen's shoulder before placing his favorite book in his hands.

Kai blinked in confusion but before he could voice his question, Dr. Saunders answered.

"If you like it all that much, it's yours." He said and Kai's eyes nearly bulged out of his skull. He opened his mouth to protest but the words died in this throat. "I insist." Dr. Saunders answered with a wink before the boy could protest. "My job is to make sure each one of these lovely books finds the right person, and if you're not the one for this story, I'm a blind old fool." He laughed. Unsure what else to say, Kai said the only thing that came to mind.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" He beamed widely. The librarian smiled before starting in remembrance and diving behind his desk.

"I almost forgot." He pulled out a large folder tied with a red string from beneath the mess of his desk, before holding the familiar object out to the brunette. "You left this here yesterday, I couldn't put them down." He grinned as Kai's eyes lit up in recognition and he snatched his folder away and hugged it to his chest.

"Sorry!" The flustered teen mumbled in apology. "They're not very good, most of them are just drafts and such–"

"Kai," A single word from the librarian silenced him, and he looked up to meet impressed and encouraging eyes. "They're brilliant, even for 'drafts'; I've read so many books and I've never seen anything half as good as some of the things your imagination has conjured up."

"Uh, thanks."

"Honestly, Kai, what the heck are you and your siblings still doing in this backward town?" The librarian asked. The question was rhetorical, but no one could mistake the seriousness in Dr. Saunders's question. "You three have so much talent and so much potential it's such a shame you can't exercise your talents at a more credential location." He sighed in disappointment. Kai blinked, then nodded at the compliment.

"We're working on it." He replied. "Nya's hoping to win the Inventor's Contest this year, if this pulls through we might finally have enough to move."

"I'm surprised it's taken you so long." The librarian smiled. "Your parents left you everything."

"Yeah, but that's our savings, it's more than enough to live on but not move away and continue living in a new place." Lloyd chimed in, carrying a small stack of children's books of his own and placing them on the table.

"I tell you boys this place has changed since Vincent passed; FSM blesses his soul." Dr. Saunders sighed sadly. "I knew it was only a matter of time, since no one from that family seems to take after him, and then Morro rolls in–" He continued, only to stop when Kai suddenly growled under his breath at the man's name. Dr. Saunders decided not to press the issue anymore. It was true though. For the past year after their father passed away, the three remaining Smiths had put away their parent's inheritance and started saving their earnings until they could afford to leave.

But the shop hadn't been doing as well as it had when Vincent was the Duke.

Nya, being the overly ambitious and determined sibling, was dead-set on winning the fair this year. Then they could move to a place where they could finally pursue their dreams. Dr. Saunders finished checking Lloyd's books and placed them all in a bag for the little one to carry. Lloyd quickly followed Kai who paused in the doorway to let his little brother pass. He gave the librarian another smile and wave before running to catch up with his little brother...

"that one Morro fic I was going to write and then totally forgot about it" please

I found this in my trash folder (yike) though i haven’t touched it since (according to google drive) May 20th, hehe…Anyways, here’s an excerpt of what it would’ve been:

I was usually a listener and a quiet learner, but Wu wanted to see results. He taught me the ways of a master of spinjitzu, and with every lesson I grew stronger. I was a good student, he told me, and I knew. Every challenge I met with confidence and skill, and soon it was evident that I was destined for great things. He dared to suggest the greatest, and although I was doubtful at first, after every conquered test, I started to believe it, too. Could I possibly become the prophesized Green Ninja?

But it was not to be. The old man had deceived me. He had fed my mind with promise and ambition, only to reveal it was all a lie.

So I left. I left that very day. I stomped down every single step with a curse on his name, vowing to prove him wrong. I was eleven years old and I was capable of fighting a fully armed samurai, so I shouldn’t have had any trouble fending for myself. I could hunt. I could fish. I could fight.

I could prove myself worthy of becoming the Green Ninja.

As you can probably see, first-person narrative isn’t something I usually do and it doesn’t really work for me, neither did the one-shot itself- it was just very awkward to work with. It was supposed to sort of chronicle Morro’s entire life from pre-Ninjago all the way to DotD but, of course, that didn’t really end up happening, as you can see.

So idk, maybe someday I’ll have to resolve and motivation and idea to write a Morro fic that actually works (he deserves one my smol salty ghosty boi son) but until then, it’s been a while since I even watched Ninjago itself (I rewatched DotD for the sake of Morro and then cried again when he went back wHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF) sooo yeah we’ll see.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING AN ASK ^w^ (i’m such a lonely cryptid jkfdnjks)
