[nyaskitten]

bc ily all, u guys get ANOTHER drawing, a (NOT SHIP <3) prequel drawing of sorts to my DTIYS !!!!

this and the DTIYS both exist as part of the Crystal!Lloyd AU so I've decided

(rbs are appreciated teehee ^_^)

[ataraxixx]

i put a not insignificant amount of effort into this for some unknown reason ....

[pillowmints4lloyd]

Isn't he so silly :D

Changed the hair design because I liked the idea of him being a natural brunette. The details for this AU can be found here.

Anyway, here's a drawing of this cute little Oni dude. I'm 1000 words into the fic for this YAY. Also 900 into the Wu raising Lloyd AU. Click the photo for better quality cause tumblr is blurrifying it 😓

Exerpt from the fic:

He needed Garmadon's corpse if he was going to correct that stupid mistake his old self made. Besides, he liked the corpse! Sometimes he took it around with him to places, regardless of the gagging that he would sometimes hear from the citizens that would unfortunately cross his way. It was like his father was still there.

My favorite insane boy.

Skybound

skybound definition: confined to the sky.

In which Jay becomes Lightning to save his friends. And Nya says “I love you.”

☁️💙⚡️💙☁️⚡️💙☁️⚡️💙☁️

Finally, the battle against Wojira was over. 

After all the wild waves and the howling wind and the crackling lightning, the Sea Serpent that had lurked in the depths of the ocean for thousands of years was destroyed. 

The Storm Amulet had been broken, and Wojira had screamed and writhed as lightning encased it before she exploded, the power from the ancient beast sending shockwaves throughout the city. 

Then, there is silence. The raging storms stills at the death of their master, and the waves of the sea resided, the flooding slowly draining away until the ocean is back where it’s meant to be. There is a calm, a tranquility that is found right after a hurricane where the peace slowly drips by until the damage is to be realized. 

The Ninja stand still with bated breath, waiting for the last member of the team to appear. 

There is a clap of thunder, a crack of lightning, then— 

The Master of Lightning descends from the clouds and joins them on the rooftop.

“JAY!”

He turns around to be greeted by the cheers of his friends as they rush towards him. 

“Way to go!”

“Yeah!” 

“I knew you could do it!” 

“Jay!” Nya is the first to reach him, her eyes shining as she beams at him. “You did it!”

She throws her arms around him, expecting him to hug her back. 

She doesn’t expect electricity. 

Her hairs stand on end, the thrumming of static pulsing through her body. It suddenly feels as if she is walking in the Sea of Sands, under miles and miles of power lines and consciously aware of the high voltage of electricity passing above her head at the speed of light. Jay’s body feels wild and chaotic, like lightning stored in a glass bottle. 

She pulls away with a gasp of shock, static clinging to hair and clothes. Sparks of lightning travel up Jay’s arm, and he looks at it curiously. Nya backs away, unnerved by the uninhibited show of power Jay displays.  

“Heh, that’s going to take some getting used to. But we’ll figure out a way to change you back, don’t worry.” Cole chuckles. “Just don’t short-circuit the TV when we play video games, okay?”

Jay seems to ignore the comment, tipping his head questioningly. “Back?”

“To normal. You know, the old you,” Cole explains. 

Jay looks even more confused. “Normal?” 

“What’s wrong?” Nya asks hesitantly. “Are you okay?” 

The clouds suddenly part from where they hang in the gloomy sky, golden light pouring over the rooftops. The lightning designs on Jay’s body glow brighter in response. 

Jay stares, transfixed with the sky. 

“Do you hear it?” He asks in wonder. 

“Hear what?” Nya asks. 

“The clouds  … they’re so loud  … so powerful  …” he smiles. 

“It calls to him,” Benthomaar whispers. 

Lightning suddenly begins to spark off Jay, and everyone but Nya flinches back to avoid getting shocked. Nya watches with horrified awe as Jay almost seems to dissolve right in front of her, only to be stitched back together with strands of electricity. 

“Sorry. It’s difficult for me to maintain this shape.” Jay says. 

Nya suddenly feels like she’s been kicked in the stomach as dread starts to flood her heart, pool into every limb and sink into her bones. “What do you mean shape? That’s— That’s what you are,” she says. 

“What I was. Yes.” Jay smiles fondly, and suddenly Nya can’t breathe. 

Was.

Was, like Jay wasn’t there, wasn’t real, that he was gone— like he wasn’t just there in front of her when he kissed her on the cheek when she was fading in and out of unconsciousness after Kalmaar’s attack. 

Jay couldn’t— 

Jay couldn’t be—

“I have to go now,” And— And Jay is pulling away now, he never pulled away— turning his back to her as he walks towards the edge of the building. “I will remember you.” 

“Remember?” Cole repeats. “What are you talking about? You’re not going anywhere.”

Jay doesn’t stop walking towards the edge of the roof, and Nya forces herself to move. Her legs feel like lead has been poured into them, it's so hard to move without stumbling, but she forces herself to chase after Jay. 

“Jay! Stop, wait, listen!” Nya’s whole body is trembling, and a blinding panic is building up in her chest. “Something is wrong with you. You have to concentrate, you have to focus, you have to— turn back!” 

Jay hasn’t turned around or faltered in his steps while Nya is talking, and with a sudden burst of energy, Nya surges forward and grabs his wrist. 

Lightning surges from his hand, and Nya jerks back. The shock left her hand stinging, and the message is all too clear. 

Jay was Lightning. He was electricity, twisted and woven in the shape of her Yang. Jay had become his element, had become Lightning itself, to save her. And now he was  … 

“No,” Nya’s voice breaks. “Don’t leave me.” Everyone is caught off guard at the vulnerable, desperate, trembling tone Nya takes. 

She’s never sounded like that before. Nya has always been the strong one; she’s always been the one to power through the traumatic events that happened to them, been the one to tell them to never give up and that there was always a solution. 

But now— now Jay is leaving her, and he’s never coming back, and she’s realizing that there is no way to fix this. She can’t do anything, she can only just sit and watch as the love of her life disappears, and know that there isn’t a perfect way to solve this. 

Jay stops, shocked at the sound of her voice. He turns around to see his Yin. Her shoulders are curled in on herself, and she’s staring at him, eyes swimming with tears. 

His eyes soften and he walks towards her, gently brushing a hand over her cheek and wiping away a tear. Nya can’t help but lean into the touch, sensing the undercurrent of lightning running through his arm. 

This doesn’t feel like a concession. 

This feels like a goodbye. 

Nya’s lips tremble as she feels Jay’s hands drop to her’s, holding them. He doesn’t shock her, but she can feel his power fluctuate, thrumming against her skin, always moving. 

He pulls away, and her heart breaks. Her hand still tingles from the electricity of Jay’s hand, and Nya isn’t ready. 

He walks towards the edge of the roof and stands on it, the lightning marks etched in his body brightening in the sun. Jay lingers on the precipice between the sky and them, looking over his friends with a soft smile. 

Nya steps forward, a single tear falling down her cheek. “Jay  … I love you.” She says. 

She’s never said those words aloud before. Ever. She wasn’t good with the words, not after so long where it’s been her and Kai against the world. Jay knows that, and he understands. He says the words “I love you” freely, and knows she responds with every bright smile and held hand. 

This time  … 

Jay doesn’t respond to her. 

He smiles, glowing eyes filled with love as he turns away from his friends. 

No  … 

He’s leaving. 

No, no no  … 

“Jay!” 

Nya stumbles forward, desperate to catch him, to stop him, to tell him to come back  … but she’s too late. 

There is a blinding flash, a crack of thunder, and when Nya opens her eyes again Jay has vanished. She looks to the sky and sees a shining light, the clouds swirling around like they’re welcoming an old friend. 

Nya watches as the light beams through the gloomy clouds, and in the next moment, there is an earth-shattering boom as Jay disappears across the sky, taking the storm with him.

Electricity still lingers in the air, the atmosphere holding its breath like the eerie moment of anticipation between lightning and thunder. The buzzing sound doesn’t leave Nya’s ears as she stares at the sky, searching for any traces of Jay with a gaping hole in her chest. 

She’s vaguely aware of the others joining her, Kai placing a hand on her shoulder and Wu comforting Cole. 

It doesn’t matter. Not anymore. 

Jay is gone.

☁️💙⚡️💙☁️⚡️💙☁️⚡️💙☁️

“What now?” Kai asks, watching his little brother, Lloyd, continue scrubbing windows dully. 

“Give him time.” Cole says, staring at Lloyd sadly. “Maybe we’ll have better luck with Nya.”

Kai winces. It’s been a year since he’s been in contact with his sister, Nya, practically disappearing off the radar ever since Jay’s memorial. She had been inconsolable, and Kai didn’t know what her state would be like a year later. 

Would she even be interested in stopping the Vengestone buyer? Nya used to love missions like that, but without Jay there  … 

Kai stops that thought as a pang of grief went through him at the lack of smart comments and jokes that would occur on the mission. Jay had been there since the beginning of Kai’s journey to be a ninja. He had been the one to lighten the team with jokes shared on dreary nights, and had a spark to him that made any situation seem possible with his inventive ideas. 

Without Jay  … 

Kai shakes himself out of it as Zane starts talking. “Does anyone know the whereabouts of Nya?” He asks monotonously. 

“Yeah, what’s she doing?” Cole asks. 

Kai turns to stare out the window, the gloomy sky a bleak grey. There is no thunder, only the promise of rain. Kai wonders what that meant for the floating lanterns that would be sent into the sky in Jay’s honor. 

“What else?” He says. “She’s out chasing storms.” 

The Lightning Ruins, then.

Phantasm Cave Part 1 (cause the comic was too long)

See, I told you guys I was gonna make a comic for this scene, after all I can't pass up an opportunity for angst :3

Link to part 2

[llannasvsp]

hot take: lloyd in crystalized was not out of character. my reasoning for this is... actually there's a lot of reasoning. one of the biggest complaints people have about crystalized lloyd is how he treats his father in comparison to early seasons lloyd and to that i say: early seasons lloyd had not been disowned nor had he been beaten half to death by his father. i don't think i would be as willing to work with my father had that happened to me. his reasoning (garmadon being oni) may have been flawed, but i also think he was putting his own personal reasonings (being disowned and almost killed) behind, and attacking the thing that didn't include how he was treated.

i understand why people would be mad about lloyd attacking the oni side of his father, given the fact that mystake was amazing and also sacrificed herself for him, but when people are trauma responding, they tend to forget the good things and focus on the bad. lloyd didn't want to bring his own feelings into it, because he has invalidated his own feelings. therefore, he attacks the thing that has nothing to do with him.

DISCLAIMER: i am not attacking nor am i intending to invalidate people who think that lloyd suffered "character assassination" in crystalized. i just feel the need to give my own opinion about it. i will most likely talk about this topic again because i am so passionate about it.

[emerald-cloud23]

Does anyone have a fanfic of this Crystalized ending? (Taken from the link in this video description- sorry that it's a vid from Tanner-) Please. ╥﹏╥ I'd love to read this. If anyone is going to do something like this I'd like to know. Please. I love evil Lloyd. Jdnfnnfn aaaAAAAAA-

[legendsoffandoms]

I have more aus, I’m talk about two today.

(I’m feeding yall and myself)

So the first au I wanna talk about is this villain au I have. I like calling him Child in this au.

So basically Lloyd life was pretty much the same up until he got kicked out of Darkleys. He took living on the streets a lot more serious than what’s shown in the show. He didn’t taunt his title like cannon Lloyd. He stole what he needed when he needed, and was trying to lay low as to avoid being caught and put into any kind of foster care or orphanage. So he never pulled his stunt in the village that led to basically very villain. He never met the ninja until way later.

He gained the name Child because he was still really childish, and he was good at what he did. He stole and never got caught. He had a really childish but also dark laugh. He was fast and swift, and became a bit of a legend amongst normal very day criminals. He wasn’t a big bad, and he had no intention of stealing really guarded stuff like money from a bank. He wasn’t a low level thief, but he wasn’t going to risk shit.

And basically Wu asks the ninja to bring Lloyd home, as he thinks that he’s the green ninja.

So the Ninja have to try and track down this random kid who’s apparently their Master’s nephew. Big problem, no one knows where he is. He travels constantly. Using his criminal history is useless as half his crimes go unreported, so they have no idea if he’s at the city his last crime was reported or not. The ninja end up spending weeks trying to find this kid, and when they finally do. They realize. He’s fucking 12.

He did all of that at 12.

What happens when they find him? He refuses to go, and ends with them basically begging Lloyd to go. Lloyd who obviously doesn’t give two fucks about the Ninja or his “Uncle”. Lloyd also hates the ninja guts for taking away his only family member. Lloyd ends up becoming one of the Ninja’s main villains as they try to get him to reform, and he keeps refusing. He goes from a legend amongst small time criminals to one of the Ninja’s villains. At this point, the only one apart from his father. Which just gives him a worse reputation amongst civilians. And the “Child” becomes a super villain. Despite him being 12, and also having no powers (that he’s unlocked yet).

Au two: Feral!Lloyd

So basically after unlocking his Oni form and defeating the Overlord. Something is seriously off about Lloyd. He’s never zoned in, he’s a lot more clingy, he’s more cat like?, and he’s just more weird. At some point, he just stops acting human altogether. He’s basically gone feral. Both dragon and oni instincts are just his behavior. Which leads him to be really overprotective and aggressive. He’s super clingy with Nya and Kai. He hates both Garmadon and Wu for some reason. He’s constantly on all fours.

At some point he grew dragon and oni features. He’s just not human anymore. Whatever happened when he discovered his oni form just broke his mind behind repair. He basically became like a large house cat, that would eat people that tried to hurt the Ninja. And he Would growl at Wu and Garm.

Now the ninjago have to struggle with a feral Lloyd. Oh and then the merge happens. Leaving feral Lloyd. Alone. At the monetary.

Eventually Arin, Sora, and Riyu show up. They expect well normal human Lloyd. They get feral, clearly not fully human Lloyd. Which just leads to more chaos and angst. As the trio tries to gain Lloyd’s trust and eventually try and find the other Ninja. Cause they definitely can not handle feral Lloyd themselves.

A list of traits feral!lloyd has:

• He crawls on all fours all of the time. He never walks on two legs.

• He hates Wu and Garmadons guts, for reasons no one can figure out.

• He can’t speak English/Ninjagin. He only speaks in Oni and Dragon

• He loves Nya and Kai and clings to them the most (basically all of the time)

• Once Sora and Arin got his trust (he didn’t mind riyu since he’s part dragon) they became his kids. Whether they liked it or not. They’re his kids, and he’s extremely overprotective of him

• Once he completely went feral. His Oni and Dragon traits started coming in. He spent weeks coped up in his room in a blanket mountain as they grew in. It hurt like a bitch, but he refused to let anyone even close to him as it happened

• His Oni and dragon traits are: A black an green tail with lots of really fluffy brown fur on it (from the base to end on the top side), he has black and green dragon ears, golden horns, purple eyes, lots of patches of black and green scales, goat like legs that are golden (Oni trait), black clawed hands, a golden scar that stretches across his face, and really sharp teeth.

• He dyes his hair blonde in this au, but he stopped once he became feral

• He doesn’t have wings cause I say so, also I like to think at least in this au he’s an eastern dragon.

I hope you like my aus :3

[geohere]

You wanna hear about my mystic monkey Lloyd? No? Well, you get to hear about it anyway.

Lloyd is dead. He died at Darkley's. And Darkley's was like, "Oh, but that's so much paperwork, and we found this random kid that looks a lot like him" and just replaced him. This Lloyd 2.0 lives his entire life thinking that he's someone else who's actually dead. But no, he's actually a monkey.

[cittycatplay]

Look what have you caused @violetthunderstorm /lh

Ninjago AU : green crystal

Ok so this is like "dead" Lloyd AU after crystallized

So Garmadon faked his death and Lloyd turn into his oni form happens BUT it's when the Ninja released the elemental dragon, this is important to the story.

Lloyd was about to blast the overlord into oblivion but then the elemental dragon came Uniting their powers with Lloyd's oni power and that caused an explosion and everything went white to all the people that were there.

When the flash was gone Lloyd was also gone, along with the rest of some of the overlord's body, he has returned to his slumber like always.

Garmadon and Harumi tell that there was a blast and Lloyd is was gone (they don't say Lloyd's oni form tho)

Now Lloyd is presumed dead, remember that presumed is the key word.

.

They all grieve in different ways

Kai: he grabs all pictures of Lloyd and keeps them,both to keep em safe and for nostalgia.

Nya : she goes close to his element like plants, life ecc.

Cole: he keeps close everything that Lloyd has given him

Jay: he keeps safe everything that Lloyd had that hadn't been taken by the others safe

Zane: turned off his emotions

Harumi (yes even her) : she is more quiet

Garmadon: blames himself, because he started to care for his son and was the one who triggered his oni form.

Soo if you want to hear more of this AU just ask

------

It now has a fic on AO3!

[threemoonwatchers]

Uhhh AU where the only ppl who knew Lloyd was working towards Oni form were Lloyd and Garmadon and basically someone sees him in Oni form and tells the ninja so now everyone thinks there’s a random Oni on the loose but it’s just. Lloyd.

And because I’m here for the chaos why don’t we also give him control issues so there’s more than one Oni Lloyd sighting

[nyaskitten]

WOAH GUYS! IT'S MR. BEAST!!! DO YOU THINK HE HAS SOME FREE MO- oh. never mind it is not him. it's just a vicious, rabid, disease-ridden child suffering horribly.

(please reblog this took SOOOO much time)

[ogzieoggleton]

Hello. If any of you can recall that crystallised rewrite/au book I planned in making, I have a poll for you.

Ideas here: Poll (it's the first story concept btw)

And the early snippet of the story here!!

((Context for this decision to be implemented is below))

Context:

"What..?" He asked, more like jugded, bitterly-

'sure' he thought. 'Saved a village..'

"Like that even happened!" The boy waved a dismissive hand, refusing to believe the man had saved the innocent and been rewarded- surely he had taken it by force..

"I am telling you. If you refuse to belive it then so be it! But I shall jot waste my time explaining a story you are not willing to hear! Of you want to waste my time, just leave now!" He demanded, turning around once more to reorganise his books by content now, huffing as he set them aside properly and rang the little golden bell for his own amusement. "After all, we are closed."

"Actually, we have important business to dicuss, brother." Wu stopped either the oni or the green ninja from getting ahead of themselves with their jumpy conclusions, pulling out the scraps of warnings from his pockets. "These letters- these warnings.. did they come from you?"

Garmadon turned to his sibling and snatched the pieces of paper from him, eyeing them up with curiosity. "These? I suppose I mught have.."

[general-yasur]

Lloyd sings a lullaby to the oni to keep it out of arms reach, from everyone including himself

[so-sures-blog]

Energybound

binding energy definition: in physics and chemistry, binding energy is the smallest amount of energy required to remove a particle from a system of particles or to disassemble a system of particles into individual parts.

In which Lloyd becomes Energy to save the world. As the Green Savior, he was always prophesied to die for it. The scrolls never mentioned anything about his friends.

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨

The sun is just peaking over the horizon of the ocean when Lloyd makes his choice.

A restless night had passed, with the city drowning and Kalmaar sweeping through flooding to find the Ninja. With Jay’s condition worsening and Nya not leaving his side. With Benthomaar wracked with guilt over what his adopted brother had done and Kai, Cole, Zane, and P.I.X.A.L anxious to do something. 

Lloyd had eavesdropped on Nya and Bentho talking about the Nyad, how she had merged with the sea and defeated Wojira. He knows what she is about to do. 

He’s just doing it first. 

Lloyd cracks open his eye from where he is pretending to be asleep, and slowly stands up. All of his friends are passed out from the emotional toll of the day— even Nya, who was fitfully sleeping besides Jay. 

He moves quietly to not alert any of his friends and wake them up. Silently, he makes his way to the door, before looking back at his friends one last time. Jay was laying on the couch, gasping and wheezing in raspy intervals. Nya is next to him, shifting uncomfortably. 

Bentho leans up against a filing cabinet next to the couch, arms crossed and head hanging. He was separated from the rest of his friends, and Lloyd wishes to see the day where Bentho is comfortable enough to lay next to them instead of dealing with everything himself. 

Kai, Cole, Zane, P.I.X.A.L, and Master Wu are all passed out on the other side of the room, unconscious to the world and the thoughts swirling around Lloyd’s head. 

Lloyd wishes they had more time. A few spare months of recuperating and relaxation isn’t enough between the life-threatening missions his team frequently goes on. He wants to stay with his friends.

He bites his tongue, the pain distracting him from his thoughts as he opens the door and then closes it, making his way to the roof.

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨

Lloyd dangled his feet off the edge of the dock, eyes trained on the gleaming horizon. An unsettled feeling was shifting in his gut, and a single question rolled around in his mind. 

Footsteps sounded towards him, and Lloyd turned to see his mother and uncle walking towards him.

“Lloyd, are you okay?” Misako asked. 

Lloyd stood up, not taking his gaze away from the sinking sun. “I was just thinking… I know Ronin’s monster was a fake, but I guess I was wondering if Wojira is really still out there… somewhere.” 

“If she is, may she sleep for another thousand years.” Wu prayed.

And at the bottom of the sea, the storm slept.

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨

Lloyd walks towards the edge of the building, peering down at the dark water. It is black and bottomless, and Lloyd feels a surge of doubt before he shoves it away.

Lloyd may not be the Master of Water, but he is the Master of Energy. And as far as he knew, energy was everywhere. Nyad may have become one with the Sea, but she lost herself to the ocean and disappeared for thousands of years. 

Lloyd couldn’t let that happen to Nya. 

Lloyd was the Green Ninja, the savior of Ninjago. He was always destined to sacrifice himself for it, but nobody mentioned anything about his friends. Everything he had gone through— the Overlord and his father, Morro’s possession and Harumi— it all led up to this moment. 

This is for his friends. Everything he had done was for his friends— every harsh blow from battle and hair ruffle in the morning. They had taken him in when he was a kid and gave him a home and a family. They had raised him, trained him, loved him even when he was being nothing but a bratty child who gave them problems.  

Lloyd turns and stares back at the door where his family was sleeping, unaware. 

Kai’s fiery courage, Nya’s fierce determination, Cole’s easy kindness, Jay’s bright intelligence, Zane’s gentle empathy, P.I.X.A.L’s snarking camaraderie, Benthomaar’s hesitant friendship, Wu’s aging wisdom, Misako’s sense of adventure. 

His family. 

Lloyd turns away, blinking back the sudden tears as green power lights his hands and he starts spinning.

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨

“Bentho, how did Nyad defeat Wojira? In the story you told me?”

“… she became one with the sea.”

“But how exactly?”

“She opened herself up to the full power of the ocean. She merged with it.”

“…”

“Do not think of such things! Nyad may have defeated Wojira but she lost herself. What she did cannot be undone. She vanished.”

“…”

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨

Lloyd opens his eyes, feeling light shining from the inside out as his green power spreads. Energy floods his body, feeling light and fleeting as Lloyd reaches down to the core of his power— and lets it loose. 

Lloyd thinks of Cole and his Spinjitzu Burst, deep in the depths of Shintaro’s mountains. Unparalleled power had exploded from the earth and wrapped his brother in his element. 

Lloyd can feel it happening too— but it's different. Green power is rushing around him, light blinding his vision, the particles on his skin transforming into pure energy. 

Then— 

BOOM!

A sonic sound wave explodes throughout the sky. The light tapers off.  Lloyd opens his new eyes and looks down at his body. Green energy swirls around in the shape of his old body.

He feels light, powerful, new— Lloyd is filled with boundless energy, free to travel wherever he likes and too fleeting to ever catch. 

Lloyd realizes he’s flying and spins around, laughing. The door to the rooftop suddenly slams open, and his family pours out— Kai and Wu in the lead as they stop and stare at their brother and nephew. 

“Lloyd!” Kai calls. Jay and Nya join them, the former leaning on his girlfriend heavily as he stares at his little brother disbelievingly. 

Lloyd frowns at how weak Jay looks. That can’t do— Jay will need to be at full strength when they beat Wojira. He flys down, ignoring the flinch of surprise from the others and presses a hand to Jay’s chest. 

Green energy lights up, and suddenly Jay is able to breathe easier— like his lungs weren’t even damaged at all. Nya stares at Lloyd, looking pained for some reason.

Lloyd pulls away as Wojira roars her challenge, his power picking up in anticipation. 

“Lloyd, wait!” Wu calls— but it's too late. With another BOOM! Lloyd takes off, flying at the speed of sound to confront Wojira once and for all. 

It is time to finish what his grandfather couldn’t.

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨

Nobody notices the crystal spider on the wall, violet eyes recording everything. 

Clink… clink… clink… 

The spider scurries back to its master. 

💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨🐉 💚✨ “Spider’s in the house,

Sleep, sleep

Spider bit the mouse, 

Sleep deep

Don’t wake up or else 

You’ll find a spider in your m—”

The song breaks off, and the dark figure turns from the computer to see a crystal spider making its way towards her. 

She kneels down, dark cape fluttering and kabuki mask flipped up as the mechanical spider crawls into her hand. She strokes it gently. “Did you find everything I need?” She asks. 

The spider’s eye flashes, and then a holographic video is playing in the crystalized room. The bright screen contrasts the dark room, the purple and pink hues drowned out by the light images playing. 

The Herald purses her lips, fingers tightening on the spider she is gripping unconsciously as the video finishes. 

“I see,” Harumi says. She turns and stares at the giant crystal protruding in the middle of the Oni Temple. “This changes things.” 

“Time to make some alterations to the previous plan.”

[saline-coelacanth]

So I sketched this out along with the other Crystal King doodles I did, but I figured this drawing deserved a post of its own and decided to wait and post it later. So yeah, here it is! Just a couple of brothers fighting to the death, you know, the usual.

I will forever be insane about Crystal King Oliver, I doubt that will ever change. The thing that makes me more insane about it is whenever Oliver and Lloyd are fighting. These two have been through so much and deserve a break but the universe refuses to give either of them that.
