#Lloyd agrees to be ur dad and he sends you out to the training course for 5 hours

[general-yasur]

There’s something about how both of lloyds parental figures (Wu and Garmadon) also doubled as Mentors and Teachers for him. The lines between parent and master is essential non-existent for him and it probably effects the way he mentors Arin and Sora

There’s just a few subtle things that has happened in DR that make me think the show is coding lloyds relationship with arin especially as like a father son dynamic on top of the obvious mentor mentee relationship. Lloyd isn’t trying to be a Dad per say- but does he really know the difference when the little time he did have with his father was spent learning under “Sensei Garmadon” or when his Uncle inevitably was a father figure, he was also his master training him as the legendary green ninja?

Lloyd wants to be there for Arin like Wu was for him and he knows Arin is having a hard time with his parents not in his life (which he can relate to) makes me wonder if lloyd will subconsciously try to fill a role, a parental role, and all it will do is confuse Arin

Would Arin take comfort in Lloyd being a parental figure to him or is the line way to distinct for him? Would he maybe feel guilty for “replacing” his parents? I dunno!
