Types of people after the Merge
Man Cole really got lucky huh?
He serioused now he has to silly (masking)
Making a list of Kai / Zane quotes that sound like they're out of a fanfiction.
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.
Saw a ninjago post with a tag that I said "I love continuity!!" And that's my answer whenever someone asks me if the shows I watch have plotholes
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Still holds up to this day. I'm shaking
Something that hasn't really sunk in yet is the fact that monstrosity is canon. Like wdym it's not something my Kai-deprived brain made up in order to fill the neverending void in my heart???? Really??? Are you sure?? The thing I've been begging for actual years and then some really happened?? No joke??? Actual Kai material?? Character development?? Lore importance?? ANGST, SICK MONSTER DESIGN, AND BODY HORROR??? 2D FUCKING ANIMATION!?!?!?!? AND ITS ALLL KAI??????????? JUST HIM?????????????????
I admit that I rarely check my activity tab and notes, but really??
What???? 196 notes????
The post itself isn't even good (in my opinion) and my theory for the centipede mural has changed very drastically. This post is now inaccurate. Now terminating
No hate to those who actually like it!! I'm just being silly because I'm high on caffeine and it is 1:30 am!!!
Oh my fuck.
It's a loop. And the masters of fire are in the middle of it.
You can see at the start that the centipede eats who I assume is a fire elemental, who then goes through a cycle to become one of the centipedes. Then, right below it, you can see a cluster of EGGS that look eerily similar to the ones inside the centipede. Basically:
Centipede: Eat
Person: become centipede
Personpede: lay egg
Egg: become person
Repeat
Imagine Kai, after finding this out, just looks at his hands and arms and face.
And sees a monstrosity.
If I had a penny everytime a character had to go through horrors and killing monsters while slowly losing themselves and also telling themselves that they HAVE to lose themselves in order to get home to their loved ones, I would have two pennies.
Ody: so, you went through hell and back to return to your family while finding allies along the way who told you to be crueler in order to survive?
Kai: Yeah. You too?
Ody: yup.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH "I have to endure." "I have to continue." "So I can see them again." "I can't lose myself." pfp creds to Kindaasrikal :)
