Bie-tch - WE WON OH MY GOODNESS

"Change is inevitable," They said

"Change is painful," I replied

Based off a poem I made when I was in 7th grade (under the cut)

"Change is painful," They said.

What they forgot to mention,

Is that it is unwanted.

It crawls under your skin,

And latches onto your throat.

"Change is painful," I replied.

They turned toward me,

"Yes, it is." They said,

"That is why it is inevitable."

my biggest hear me out will forever be kai from ninjago

YOURE THE SUNBOUND WRITER????

JGSHBHJTNMOUGDTULSTH its an honor to meet you sir 🎩

lmao anyway i wanted to check which program you got the contrast that high on? im a couple computers removed since the last time i was doing this stuff

JAKEJJDJSIAJBRBFHEH oh hello. Nice to see a reader of mine on here. Oooooo this is so awkward but it blushing idk if that makes sense

Also greetings to you to 👒

I used ibis paint x! Just go to filters and find the adjust color tab, then click adjust saturation and hue. Move all the slides to 0° then up the saturation slide all the way. Sorry if it's a lite confusing, but you really need to be on the app for a while to know all it's features 😭

Rewatching the trailer again

I did another thing!

@demigod-of-the-agni

Monstrosity trailer analysis part 1:

The Monsters are terrifying, and everything is huge

One of the very first shots of the trailer shows the fire knight mech (which I’ll call Ignis not because it’s canon, but because it sounds cool and is much shorter) standing right beside Kai. I remember seeing this for the first time and just marveling at the sheer size of the mech. It’s one of the biggest mechs in the Ninjago franchise, and having Kai right next to it, contrasted with the giant flag, makes everything feel so massive that it’s almost uncomfortable.

The next shots are definitely one of the most memorable. It's what the guardian dragon (who I'll call Ator (pronounced ey-tore) for the same reasons as ignis) calls: 'the beast who ravaged her homelands and destroyed her future.'

Im pretty sure we all had the same reaction when seeing this thing for the first time. Because Jesus christ, that thing is huge. Compare that to the trees, which we know are fairly big since we see Kai stand next to one later in the trailer, and they look like literal twigs compared to the giant... thing. Its toe can literally topple a mountain. Which psycho designed this. I wanna give my thanks.

And since I'm following a trend to naming these characters... I'll just call it 'The Beast.' Pretty on the nose but accurate nonetheless.

The next monster shown is painfully unrecognized by the fandom which is sad because, to me, it's definitely one of my favorites. In the first photo, Kai takes a few steps forward, but when the light hits him, he just ceases movement altogether. It's definitely a red light green light situation. This is made even more horrifying due to the fact that there are SO MUCH (I'll call them eyeblights) EYEBLIGHTS BEHIND HIM. It seems like they have a specific area of the realm of monsters that they inhabitate, and that just makes the trailer 10000000000x better because now there a tangible ecosystem the watcher can actually see and hold on to.

Ooooh, this is hard to spot if you don't know what you're looking for. In this shot, Kai runs on a bridge while some monster that definitely looks made of roots and other organic material (I'll call it a rot-root) shoots out behind him in an action that's adjacent to a hand reaching out into the sky. You can see what looks like fingernails on the edges of the rot-root, and the overall shape looks kinda like an arm.

Another kaiju. Poor Kai. His name is Repnok.

Just for clarity, but the size of one of its whiskers is enough to reach half of the castle. Its head is the size of the castle, which can house more than a hundred people. This thing is atleast 100feet and above. Not as big as the beast, but still fucking giant.

Another thing that the fandom didn't notice for some reason is that the place Kai is in is a kingdom. If you look closely, the Repnoks leg is resting on a wall, and Kai is running on the same wall. Look just below, and you can see actual houses just barely out of sight. This means many things, though. This means there are actual confirmed on-screen deaths in ninjago because no one is surviving that shit, and that the realm if monsters is definitely the biggest realm so far and that many other smaller realms are inside of it. Sadly, all their occupants are probably dead, which will probably affect Kai for the rest of his life. (More in-depth analysis on this later in part 2)

I have no words. I don't think I need to explain this, really.

It's huge.

Like, ungodly huge. It's definitely a squid of some sort, it having barbed tentacles, but it's fucking huge. What the hell, Lego. Look how– Kai looks like a speck of dirt compared to it! Her name is Celybyss.

Another thing is that it's underwater. What kind of giant 'fuck you' is this to Kai.

That's all the monsters shown so far, and Lego did not disappoint. I wouldn't be surprised if they hired actual horror artists to work on this. Poor Kai, he's gonna have so much fun.

@theyaremanycolors ......

What the shit is wrong with you. What could have possibly possessed you to write this. Why. I was fine a minute ago. My dude. This was extremely uncalled for and honestly I'm offended. All pos but im still really fucking upset you know. Ouchie. That hurt right there in my chest.

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.

The Ninjago monstrosity trailer looks insane but my only hope is that they give us Kai looking like a sopping wet cat

I want that man to look miserable

Peak character

IS THIS NOT THE ABSOLUTE PEAK OF NINJAGO ART
