How I Feel Like When I'm The Only One Who Knows About Shifting While Some Girls Wishing That Their Fictional

What did the merge do to this guy 😭🙏💔

It’s so jarring bc this is the first time Kai has seen Jay since before the merge, it was a normal day for them then suddenly boom the next time you see your best friend he’s got a receding hairline, high ponytail and is apparently now a mechanic samurai bounty hunter with no memories😭 and Pixal too, this girl doesn’t even know Jay’s evil,, what if she pulls up to the monastery and sees Jay in a villain monologue😭💔 I love them

If you had told me two years ago that there was an arc where everyone loses their elemental powers except Kai, that he would be the one to make an epic entrance and fight the big bad one-on-one, I would say that's more unlikely than Morro coming back. But well...

Here we are.

One thing I like thinking about is when the running men tried to get the artifacts, they had to face like a version of themselves that vocalized all their insecurities and bad habits, then had to overcome it and stuff.

But it's not THAT that I find funny, it's the duality of each characters own trial.

Popo: had to come to terms that he has to sacrifice important things for the greater good, ex. His height, money, fame.

Miyo: Had to learn how to trust others more and not to let her overthinking get the better of her.

Kuga: Had to overcome his insecurities and feel more proud of his achievements instead of comparing them to others.

Liu: had to accept his responsibility as a leader and know to be able to make sacrifices.

Then there's these 3 💀

Lonky: didn't learn shit lmao just did what he always did, gaslight gatekeep girlboss his way to victory

Gai: What?? just?? happened?? How did that help him?? Instead, it literally made him worse. Not only did his other self basically Rationalise his insecurities and every fear he had he also gave my boy PTSD because of the red eyes. I swear this isn't doing it justice watch the episode.

Pala: he didn't have to go through anything lol. He probably just grabbed the "artifact", slept, heard the door open, left, then done

I love this show

Hey, guess who's writing that Monstrosity fic?

meeeeee!!!

I have officially started Homebound: Anything to See You Again.

I'm really excited, I'm already really enjoying writing it! Not sure how many chapters it'll be yet, but I'm hoping it won't be terribly long. The timeline is I think mostly pre trailer? but it's difficult to say with such little information given.

All you really need to know is that Kai already has met Rusty and Daidan at the start of the fic, and also I'm about to put Kai through hell.

Anyways, I'll stop yapping now, here's the link!

When you keep seeing amazing posts and art and analysis stuff and come to the realization that it's from one person. Like hello. I've had this experience more times than I'd like to admit.

Ninjago: Legends Monstrosity Trailer:

Theory time yap yap yap Theory yap time Theory time theory–

Ooooh don't even start. I have to physically stop myself from stimming whenever I think about this.

At the end, when Kai gets the bounty working, the final shot is him sailing away from the realm of monsters, taking off his cloak and hat and putting on his og Gi, then the animation just shifts to the 3d style while he silently cries his heart out. Because he's home. It's over. Even though he'll never forget what he's seen, what he's experienced, he'll sure as hell never let it tie him down.

Ooooh my boy. I didn't know you were jacked full of trauma. Dr s3 is gonna HIT my lord.

Why thank you :3 I try

Thinking about Kai's fighting style in the realm of monsters, and how creative he had to get whenever he was (on the rare occasions) fighting without Rusty or Daidan to help him.

All of those monsters are impossibly bigger than him, and he needs to use something to hoist himself up in order to actually reach the head and neck. Him using his fire to heat his soles so it sticks to the skin in a mess of boiling flesh. Using daggers to anchor himself repeatedly to go upwards, then finishing it quickly with a slash to the back of the neck and hoping it falls forward instead of backward.

Then when other monsters gather around the new corpse, littered in a linear pattern of scars and burns, all in a line, same as the other few, a rumor spreads among the half sentient monsters.

A giant centipede of fire and steel, some say.

It finds a victim and coils around it, using its hundreds of legs to constrict it before finishing off in one strike, one says in awe.

It never eats it prey, leaving it to rot on the ground instead to show dominance, another says to its mate.

Even with its size, it's never been seen. It burrows underneath the ground, waiting for a chance to burst out and strike, a mother says to its young. Warning.

And the rumor grows, twisting into something more fantastical. Until one day, a lizard made of rotting wood and bone stumbles upon Kai, right on top of another monster, covered in black blood, catching his breath. The lizard scurries to its nest, and the rumor twists into something closer to the truth.

There is no centipede, it screeches. More gather around it.

It's small, and that's its way of trickery. It hides in plain sight, waiting for something to grow confident. To grow complacent and take its size for weakness.

It moves like no other. In flashes of red and orange and waves of blood and muscle. The fire and shadow are fond of this one, always hovering around it. Keeping it unseen.

Its eyes are as hollow as the abysmal ocean, devoid of mercy. Any it sees are guaranteed death, and those it spares are left mangled. Dying of their injuries. It never eats, never takes, only kills in slashes of flame and iron. It was never seen until now, no name it holds either.

After the rumor spreads further, more seeing the nameless monster in person, Kai develops a title. A warning for the ones who know it. There are many, some still calling it the fire centipede, another calling it the killer of giants, but there is one name that has gained popularity. That has made its way into the stories of every mother whispering to their young.

And now, when Kai pulls out his sword in a blaze of yellow and red, he finds that some scurry away. Screeching something he swore he could make out.

Fire Demon, they scream in fear, running off. Fire Demon, they cry out, warning others. Fire Demon, they think in horror, as none have survived it.

Fire Demon.

my biggest hear me out will forever be kai from ninjago

if monstrosity gets leaked i'll have to break both arms to keep myself from watching it i fear
