Sometimes words can't erase the guilt

Sensei Garmadon ss feels bad because of everything he did to his family and others. Misako tries to comfort him, but it's hard. Sometimes words can't erase the guilt.

Tell me what you want and feel free to request.

"Come on, son, just one more and we're done," Sensei Garmadon said to Lloyd as he took a defensive stance, waiting for Lloyd to attack.

Lloyd swiftly moved towards him, and Garmadon raised his staff to avoid the strike. Suddenly, Lloyd lunged at him with his powers.

"Easy, son," Garmadon calmed him down. "We agreed, no powers in our monastery."

"Sorry," Lloyd said embarrassingly and yawned. "I'm tired. I don't know what I'm doing."

"I know," Garmadon gently replied. "How about we finish it for today?"

"Sounds good!" Lloyd exclaimed, happy to finally get some well-deserved rest. "Goodnight, dad."

"Goodnight, son," Garmadon smiled and started to walk slowly towards the bedroom he shared with Misako.

He had a family, everything he had ever wanted.

'And what he had before,' his mind reminded him.

'And what he discarded for power.' He shook his head, not wanting to think about it now. But he couldn't help it; guilt consumed him from the inside.

He sat on the bed to clear his mind. He was to blame for everything. He had tried to kill Lloyd, Misako, Wu, and everyone he knew.

He nearly destroyed Ninjago. How did he deserve to be forgiven? Tears blurred his vision. His head was so full of guilt that he didn't even notice when Misako entered the room.

"Garmadon?" she asked, surprised to see him crying. "Are you okay?"

"No," Garmadon replied shortly and buried his head back in his hands. She sat beside him.

"Garm," she softly said as she gently touched his chin, trying to turn his face towards her so she could look into his eyes.

Garmadon resisted her soft touch and turned his head to the other side to hide his tears.

"Why don't you tell me what's wrong?" she asked even more gently as she lightly stroked his face.

"How can you still love me?" He suddenly turned his head towards her.

"I don't have an answer." Misako shrugged. "I just know that I love you and I can't help it."

"Even after everything I've done?" Garmadon asked her, confused. "How can you, Lloyd, Wu, or anyone else still love me?"

Misako was about to say something, but Garmadon interrupted her.

"Just don't tell me it wasn't me, I've had enough of that. I made the decisions myself and I'm to blame."

He could feel a new stream of tears rolling down his face.

Above all, he wanted to bury his face in Misako's shoulder for comfort and to hide his tears from her.

He knew he couldn't, now he had to talk to her face to face, no matter how much he longed for her reassurance.

"It's true that you made the decisions yourself, but you can't claim to be the same. After you fell into the underworld, you were not the same person in essence, you can't deny that. Are your decisions now the same as when you were poisoned?"

"Fair enough," Garmadon noticed. "But that doesn't diminish the fact that it's my fault."

"It doesn't diminish it," Misako admitted. "But it changes things. And as for how we can still love you after everything, well, if you love someone, you're willing to forgive them a lot. Without the poison, you're a great man."

"If you can forgive me, why can't I forgive myself?" Garmadon asked.

"Honestly, I don't know," Misako helplessly replied. "But I know one thing. Time heals all wounds."

"Not this one," Garmadon said hoarsely. "Not yet."

"First, you have to understand that not everything is entirely your fault, that you can forgive yourself," Misako said. "Lloyd, me, Wu, and the ninjas will still love you. I'll be there for you."

"I know," Garmadon murmured, relieved to have some form of comfort. He rested his head on her shoulder and let the tears flow again.

"There will be more days like this," Garmadon suddenly said with certainty.

"We'll be there for you," Misako told him as she ran her hands through his hair. "But you'll have to heal. It's in the past, no matter how painful. You have changed."

They didn't say anything else when they lay down. He just pulled her into his embrace and buried his head in her hair.

"I love you," he told her as he held her closer.

"I love you too," she said, wrapping her arms around him. "Remember that time heals all wounds. The further you go, the easier it will be, I promise."

He sighed. As much as Misako reassured and comforted him, she couldn't remove the terrible feeling inside him.

She couldn't remove everything he had done or the fact that he was guilty.

However, she had lightened the burden so much that he felt like he could breathe again.

There would be more days like this, he knew. He just hoped that tomorrow would be better.

Suddenly, Misako turned in her sleep and buried her head more firmly against his chest. He held her tighter to soothe her.

Garmadon laughed. Whatever happens, it will get easier as time goes by.

He has his family whom he loves and who loves him. He couldn't ask for more, nor did he want to.

He kissed Misako on the forehead again, causing her to relax a little in his embrace.

Soon, he himself drifted off to sleep. Happy but saddened, full of guilt but optimistic.

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone FROM YOUR BODY chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

Have you ever considered this is a really stupid layout to have when there’s no way to easily get your account back if you accidentally hit the wrong button???

[inkskinned]

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

So usually when an imaginary friend is a real thing in a story, it’s either a demon or a ghost or some supernatural boogeyman that probably wants to eat the kid they’ve befriended (Mama, a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies), or “imaginary friends” are just treated as a real thing in the setting, and if a child just thinks hard enough they can manifest a friend into existence (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Happy).

And somewhere in the middle is an area where the imaginary friend in question is real and they are supernatural, but they aren’t malevolent, and they aren’t entirely honest about what they are. Like maybe they’re a fairy or a god or some kind of boggle from mythology, but they just got caught by a six year old and they don’t have time to get into it, so they just go “…Yes. I’m your imaginary friend. We haven’t met. How do you do.” And then they stick around because they do love this kid, and if you’re a boggle from mythology in the modern day good food is really hard to come by.

And at some level. That’s what I think Hobbes is.

I hate how

When we first see Misako, it appears that she is having lots of moments with Wu. As we continue through the seasons of Ninjago, this progresses, with Wu saving Misako from falling in The Day Ninjago Stood Still to the time Wu offered Misako a ride on his dragon in The Crooked Path. So it’s not that bad, right?

Wrong. During the time of the second season, when Wusako actually started becoming a thing, Garmadon was still alive, and we assume, still married to Misako! We hear nothing of a divorce! So if Miasko has not divorced Garmadon, then she is essentially cheating on him! Misako’s morality and worldview must be questioned here. She is knowingly choosing to have moments with Wu, while her husband is still alive. She even has the audacity to use Garmadon’s love for her to manipulate him. Granted, she is doing this to save Ninjago though.

Wu’s morality must also be questioned. If Wu has taken the time to think this through, he is basically dating his brother’s WIFE. Garmadon’s anger, if he found out, would be (or should be) unparalleled.

Why would Misako do this? We can understand why she might pull a move like this when she was younger, and still not sure whether she liked Wu or Garmadon better. Still, even a younger married woman should not go around with their husband’s brother. But she is a grown woman now, at least forty, and she had actually chosen to MARRY Garmadon. She took a real vow and swore to love him until death! With the knowledge that evil would eventually overcome him!

Just because he is evil does not mean that she is freed from her vow. Rather, her love and sympathy for him should grow, and she should be determined to continue loving him.

Most likely, she had an internal struggle with her feelings. This is only natural. Her husband has been taken by evil, and now that she sees him, she’s not sure she loves him anymore. Yet this should have steeled her determination to continue loving him. Instead, though, it appears she has let her feelings die, and is going with Wu now.

Later, after the Final Battle, when Lloyd’s powers have cleansed Garmadon, she turned back to him and hugs him. She chooses to move into the new Monastery with Garmadon as if nothing happened between her and Wu. During the Rebooted season, everything is back to normal, now that her husband’s good again.

Later, after the Final Battle, when Lloyd’s powers have cleansed Garmadon, she turned back to him and hugs him.  She chooses to move into the new Monastery with Garmadon as if nothing happened between her and Wu.  During the Rebooted season, everything is back to normal, now that her husband’s good again.  

After Garmadon dies, she is with Wu again

1. Wu’s character-he’s out of character once Misako appears. 2. Misako’s character-undefined, or at least confusing. 3. The logistics of “The Letter”-makes no sense unless Misako is hideously naive or ignorant.

The person who would be the most impacted by Wusako would first be Lloyd.  Surprisingly, he doesn’t seem to have any concern at all over his mom and his uncle getting together.  This is either because he inherited his mom’s cluelessness, really wasn’t paying attention, or truly doesn’t care.  It appears though, based on how Lloyd reacted to his mom getting back together with the new cleansed Garmadon, that Lloyd would strongly object to Wusako.  After all, it’s his mom with his uncle whom he had been living with for probably several weeks.

The second person most affected by Wusako would probably be Garmadon.   having to bear the torture of seeing his wife with his younger brother. I’m sure that Garmadon would not support Wusako.  (If he dies and comes back, does that mean Misako is released from her vow?  After all, doesn’t the vow say ‘until death do you part’?  Hmmm…whoever is in charge of Ninjago needs to rethink marriage vows.  Just in case a ghost comes back or something.)

Most likely, the ninja would not be affected by Wusako too much, as they’re very busy saving the world and all, but if Wu is not out there helping them and being selfless, they have lost an ally.  All they have is his knowledge now.

Overall, we have, I think, a lot of evidence in support of Wusako not needing to exist.  It creates unnecessary drama and complications.  I may be biased though because I never supported it in the first place.  In my opinion, Misako had the potential to be a great character, but she was ruined by becoming just a love interest and a plot device.

They should have been over it by now. Misako chose Garmadon (correctly) decades ago. They haven't been around each other (I'm assuming) at the least since Lloyd was born. Garmadon turns good, and he and Wu have a good relationship.

And then Wu acts like a total CHILD when the truth about the letter comes out. The thing is, Garmadon did this under the manipulation of an evil warlord AND literal evil forcibly running through his veins. And Wu is like "Tried to kill me and my students multiple times? Awakening an ancient evil? Betraying me in the first place? Dumping your kid on me? All is forgiven. Did one minor thing that hurt only me personally? YO FRICK YOU.". Plus the fact he's basically telling Lloyd that Wu wishes Lloyd had never been born. Seriously, I expect this from Jay, a highly volatile teenager/ young adult who has a temper under the best of circumstances, NOT THE WISE TEACHER.

And then Misako is like "yeah i like this" and flirts all the time with him. After showing little to no emotion at her husband being banished to pretty much hell. And proceeding to show little to no concern about all the danger her son gets into. It's all about Wu now apparently.

So yeah, it sucks. And it's weird, and I hate whenever they allude to it. Here's a probable unpopular opinion: The only, the ONLY thing movie did right, was Koko. She was a HUGE improvement over Misako, because her focus was Lloyd. As it should have been.

TLDR: the ship is weird and uncomfortable, Wu should know better, and Misako is a probable psychopath. I for one, dislike it. It seems cute but you're watching a woman basically cheating on her husband for his brother. Not to mention, Lloyd must have something to say about it, probably feeling uncomfortable about it.

. don't you

Wow, that's a really long answer, that's why I'll try to be as short as possible.

love Misako, because I watched ninjago as a child and then I fell in love with her character, like all this with Garmadon. Then I didn't notice many problems...

First of all I'm not a Wusako shipper, on the contrary, I prefer Garmadon and Misako.

I like the Misako character, but that's why I don't say she's perfect. She has a lot of her problems, but I like that. What kind of character is she without problems?

As I said before, I don't support Wusako , but somehow I like that Wu is in love with Misako. It gives both Wu and Misako some dynamics. I just don't like it when they are actually together, just that kind of tragic love of Wu for his brother's wife.

Then we get to the cheating part. Okay. in the second season it's a little weird but I can justify it. I don't like Wusako,but I'll still speak in defense because I'm a feminist.

First of all, there was nothing real between Wu and Misako, they would never actually cheat. They wouldn't do that to Garmadon.

I don't justify this, I'm just saying, it's a good idea to talk to Garmadon about it.

Again, I'm not excusing it, and it's all a mistake, but why is Fandom acting like it's unforgivable?

It's not at all, but she need to sit down with Garmadon and talk to him privately. Garmadon logically he forgives her.

Your husband left and became evil, and you have been alone for 10 years. Isn't it logical that you look for comfort in someone. Well, if it is your husband's brother, it is a bit complicated.

But I repeat, they have never committed a real fraud. In movies, we always see couples cheating, and then they forgive each other, why can't they forgive Misako?

The thing with the helmet, I think they just added it to show some interaction between them, because otherwise they wouldn't have it. But Misako did it for Lloyd so...

And all this flirting we see that she wasn't serious, because later she hugs Garmadon. Like, she just needed someone while your husband is evil.

Summary: Misako's husband turned evil and left a decade ago. She returns and now she's flirting with his brother. She doesn't commit a real act of deception, but there's something about it. It's a mistake, but we see that Misako actually loves Garmadon. So she goes back to him and Garmadon forgives her because he can't even imagine what it was like for her. Neither can you.

So she did a bad deed, but doesn't she deserve forgiveness? It's really amtfeminist that people hate her so much for it...

She's not really upset when Garmadpn dies? Not on the spot, but what do you want, for her to cry there in front of everyone? Please Legio do not do that things, I believe she was sad afterwards.

And wu seems more upset about the letter, much more than her. She seems to be just angry because of what he did to his brother.

The letter has no logic, but I thought a lot and I think I have an explanation.

I believe that there was something between Garmadon and Misako before he went to train under the Chen.

he obviously talked about her a lot when Chen knew he liked her.

Imagine you love someone, you think he loves you too, but you don't get any confirmation. No letter that thinks about you or remembers you at all.

And then suddenly you get that letter. It's weird and all, but it's not inexplicable. I'll write about it in later posts.

And she forgives Garmadon at the end. I don't see how she and Wu are later together. I don't admit it.

I mean a little flirting, but mostly on Wu's side and all. And when Garmadon came back. I won't even write about that..

Although if Garmadon is dead, they can be together, but I don't know how they are together...

Summary: Misako did some bad things and all. But that's exactly why I love her character. I don't know why people they act as if it's unforgivable and inexplicable. Such people are really anti-feminists and I don't want to argue with them.

It's fine to accuse Misako and everything, but there's so much to complain about... No.

Basically, I think they'll return Garmasako to DR u. You can look at my account, there is some proof from Mark Oliver.

I hope they give some flashbacks, they really need to explain their relationship.

Imagine flashbacks with baby Lloyd

[catmask]

actually, i did want to ask you all - a commonly shared sentiment about character creators in games or dressup games online is there's very frequently a lack of black hairstyles.

so it made me curious - what are some black hairstyles you wish would be included more in character creators/dressup games? or ones you get really happy to see are included?

[gibbearish]

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking
