#also yeah Green Rejection Lloyd is traumatized but in good hands

[pepmint-art]

Sooo, on my way to take care of Green Rejection Au as a good parent. Take care of one Au and stop producing hundreds of them and dropping them after one art.

Season 1, but Lloyd doesn't really believe in anythink that isn't human.

Snakes that talk to you? Yeah, no. Like, why would animals talk to you? It's probably hallucinations or unfunny joke.

His father is evil lord with 4 arms? It was last time when he listened to Gene about trying drugs (first and last time).

Spinjitsu/elemental powers? Physics goes bro bro goo goo. You know, lights and stuff.

Dragons? Actually, he haven't seen any of them. That let's him think they doesn't exsist.

Santa-claus? He knew from beggining that everyone tried lie to him. He knew the truth and shared it with other kids, breaking everything in what they believed.

His first meeting with Pythor was well, not so great for Pythor. Lloyd went to search for some stuff to illegally display in museum (where he works part-time, thanks to Misako) and just found him, but instead of listening to him, he completely ignored Pythor, thinking that it's all in his head. When Pythor, ofc annoyed, get his attention and Lloyd realized that Pythor for sure is alive, he just thought that it's some random guy in high quality furry suit. He's not judging, but part about sitting in caves alone was for him "weirdos activitie".

No matter how random and crazy his explanations could go, he just believed in them.

In the end, he left with empty hands, but freed Pythor telling him to not listen to haters and that his suit is amazing.

But why Lloyd doesn't accept the fact that other being existing?

Well, in this au Lloyd is way older then canonically (and other kids from Darkley's are also older) and he was already understanding world around himself (in the kids way, but understood) when Garmadon still was there. He knew about everything abnormal and was accepting this. The world just was like this and elemental powers looked beautiful for him.

But one day, the day that Garmadon was banished, Lloyd was there and saw this. He not only witnessed losing his father, but also he saw into what horrible monster he turned.

Let's be honest, for a kid it would be drastic moment in life. And traumatic as well.

He was put into therapy (at first Misako and Wu tried to talk to him and explain this but when he started closing himself on everyone, Misako just choosed to ask for help someone who would know what to do), but he was just erasing from memory everything what happened. With age he started believing in lies he created, that Garmadon left because of his own choice, that everything he sees isn't real and that's why he has therapist. He has to be mentally ill, normal people doesn't see stuff like this.

Also in Darkley's no one talked about snakes, powers and other stuff. He had perfect way to separate himself from all this "bullshit". And in family there just was an unwritten rule that until Lloyd doesn't start talking about this stuff, no one talks about it with him. Misako didn't wanted to push him, not knowing how far it will go. Ofc rule was broke when it finally came out that Lloyd is a green ninja.

With time going on in season 1 and 2 he remindes himself about what happened and slowly understands and accepts the past and present, promising that he'll help but only this one time (and it becomes "only this one time" everytime).

Everything gets better, but somehow he cannot connect his father with Lord Garmadon. It just doesn't work for him.
