Kai After He Gets Home, Looking In The Mirror And Just. Practicing.

This would scar me for life I fear

It would be so peak if monstrosities had a scene where Kai was staring directly at us and a singular tear fell down his cheek and then the episode ended

Big fan of when characters who want more than anything to protect the ones they love inevitably fail to do so despite giving it their all

And YES this is about Kai Ninjago what about it

ALL CREDITS GO TO @aceeditss_ ON TIKTOK!!! I DID NOT MAKE THIS!!!

Hey guys

Just

Try listening to 'One bullet in the chamber' by smash into pieces

Srsly

It's so good

Also

Very monstrosity coded

Trust

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

Hey ninjablr are we talking about this thing??? i would like to talk about this thing

IMMEDIATELY noticed that top marking resembles "K" in Ninjargon, OR:

HIM.

Now at first I wasn't sure if that was intentional, given the added line at the bottom and the other symbol- but then I realized what the bottom shape reminded me of, having watched the Monstrosity trailer before Season 3 Part 1.

THIS? Like a very stylized version of this centipede-thing's face? Maybe?? The top symbol could also be the Fire Mech guy instead of Kai (whats with all the K's in the Land of Monsters I have so many concerns seriously)

The other shorts between season releases (What the Mech?/Wyldfyre Shorts) added some minor details to the following episodes (Kronosteel mechs/Wyldfyre character development) so if my theory holds up, maybe the Land of Monsters will have some relevance to the main plot? I'm not sure. Either way that is a Very Important Rock (in the land of Lost Things no less?) and I'm looking forward to the Lore.

im in love with the latest updates to sunbound, just. so in love.

first of all, bait and switch with the beast? mwah mwah beautiful

following the slaughter with a bedtime story is also a timeless classic, perfect execution.

kai's realization that he has put himself in the role of the villain? dreadful sensation 🖤 can you feel your sins crawling on your back? 🖤🖤

association of kai with a flower is rather nice too, he's a very flower boy to me

i think i commented on it before, but ive had two major theories as to why its kai specifically: first) that kai was a reincarnation of the beast, second) that kai was a reincarnation of whoever sealed/was-sacrificed-to-seal the beast before. now with the latest chapter im leaning pretty heavily on kai-as-a-reincarnation of the second variety.

ALSO the implications? that the beast was loved and in love but fucked it all up and irrevocably destroyed the system-as-it-was? epic. the bitter remains of something pure, and the only being left who can remember (but who would refuse to admit its part in favor of terrorizing the only other one stuck with it)? delicious.

and—this may just be bc its what id pull—but i suspect a chain or other tether is hidden inside of kai himself. super excited regardless, just know ive got about half a tragic scene im playing with already lol

AND THIS IS ALL HAPPENING WHILE THE OTHERS ARE UNDERWATER ROFL, gonna be that meme of dude coming back w pizza, but all the shit happening is just KAI 😭

🖤🖤🖤

AGHHHHH hiiiiii!! I see you all the time in my comments but nowadays I'm too shy to answer any 👉👈 okay EBOUGH ABOUT ME lemme dismantle your theories for a sec....

Now, your theory about Kai being a descendant of our unseen entity here is definitely on the right track, but I can't either confirm nor deny any statements, BUT you're definitely heading somewhere!! One thing though, which might be spoilers one day actually nervous laugh is that the stars have names!

[[Eden]] - The star of Life

[[Gaian]] - The star of Earth

[[Neve]] - The star of Ice

[[Raiji]] - The star of Lightning

[[Jinh]] - The star of Fire

Also awwwww thank you for all the compliments! Sunbound is my first literary project EVER so seeing such positive feedback is kind of stroking my ego HAHA I'm just joking. Just joking please don't hate me!!! Again, very grateful for all the support! Now, I have a teaser for the next chapter under the cut. View at your own risk. It's contains HEAVY spoilers.

my biggest hear me out will forever be kai from ninjago
