Monstrosity Is Really Recontextualizing That Kai And Lloyd Reunion In Everyone's Minds, Huh?

Collab between me and @tapakah0, she handed me the animatic of this and it went into a big journey

Have a happy New years eve!

YAY

hey guys have you ever heard of THE CHARACTER. i’m thinking about THE CHARACTER. honestly can’t even get shit done because i’m thinking about THE CHARACTER. i’m listening to a song and imagining THE CHARACTER. all i know and love is THE CHARACTER

Kinda hoping for the arin confrontation to be a realistic and slow process instead of a quick "It's okay not to have Elemental powers you're just as good as the rest of us!!!!!!" Between Lloyd and arin, because the writers have done such a good job at emotional scenes so far.

hoping to have some big bro kai scenes too. Because arin, sora, and Wyldfyre are so similar to kai in regards to their own self worth and how they view their contributions to their team

Arin feels useless because of his lack of elemental power and wanting to grow stronger through not so peaceful means? Kai's whole green ninja spiel and the entirety of the tournament of elements.

Sora feels guilty about arin and feels as if she's only gotten this far because of her Elemental tech? S11, S12, S13, Powers stolen, Powers Lost, Powers negated by Vengstone.

Wyldfyre? Just look at her. Look at kai. She's basically a carbon copy

Conclusion,

Kai best dad, also they all need group therapy

How i feel like when i'm the only one who knows about shifting while some girls wishing that their fictional crush would be Real, when i obviously know the cheat code.

**Evil laugh**

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?????????????????

Rewatched that episode earlier, and the signs were so obvious. When the eye thing first came out, it hit KAI first. Of course, when being thrown into somewhere unfamiliar, you go for the first familiar thing you see.

And Kais face after?? After Lloyd runs past him his expression just changes from annoyed to 'God not this guy again' then to 'Ok how can I survive this.'

Then, when him and Nya land the final strike, he says: 'Let's send this monster back to where it came from!' ...I'm sure you know where that is buddy.

Do we think the giant purple one eyed creatures coming through the rift at the cloud kingdom in season 1 was from the realm that Kai’s gonna be stuck in.

kai finally sleeping in his own bed back at the monastery but he can’t actually rest because he was so used to being alert constantly that his body refuses to let him

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.
