if you had the chance to redo kai and jay's fight in seabound,how would you do it?
glad you asked, dearest anon.
firstly, I would keep the fighting. but i'd make it LONGER. kai and jay would fight, but they'd argue alongside it too. i need to kai to say "she's my sister jay," PUNCH "i loved her so fvking much too" KICK and then i need kai to shed some tears and then i like to think his power is kinda linked to his emotions so he's crying and the flames are getting bigger and bigger and kai's winning the fight and then yk more arguing and tears and angst because im insane and then:
i need water nya to address jay AND kai. the fact that she only addressed jay HURT ME IN WAYS I CANNOT EXPRESS.
If you're still doing requests, then how about something with Lloyd discovering his candy-consumption threshold?
Or maybe one of him after eating too much in general?
gathered some sweets from around the bounty (mostly from jay and cole) and chowed down before anyone could find him.
I chose to focus on those two because of one sole reason: the IMMENSE contrast between the ways Jay and Kai handle grief. Complete opposites.
before i Start i wanna say I don’t have anything against jay, I love him too guys
Jay, time and time again, shows self centeredness in times of grief (again, not saying it’s his fault that’s just how he copes) He leads himself to believe that only he ever loved this person, and that no on else feels the same way. jay is also very expressive- he cries, he mourns, he is verbal throughout his grief. for example, he talks to water in order to feel some grasp of nya close to him- it shows how expressive he his with his longing for her. furthermore, two more examples:
the widely known one: Kai and Jays fight. JAY is the one who suggested they shouldn’t be a team anymore, he is the one who started the fight, and he’s the one who said no one loved/missed nya BUT him.
now, one might say
“But Kai was inconsiderate! He knocked down Jay’s water glass!”
lemme tell you buddy. jay shouldn’t be talking to water glasses in the FIRST place. secondly, this was kai’s way of showing concern, and allow me to remind you that kai still bothered to show concern for jay, when even before the fight jay was saying things like “only I miss nya” “I love her” “we are nothing without her”
secondly, did u guys notice the immense regret and sadness when kai knocked his glass over?
LOOK AT KAI’S EXPRESSION. he is DEVASTATED. he didn’t MEAN to. and on top of that, he is closing his eyes. if you’re a total kai observer, like I am, you’ve noticed that he looks away or dissociates if situations are too emotionally overbearing for him (nyas death, both times, when chen tells him about the fact that his parents might be evil and left them on purpose, etc etc). kai even said sorry, in a heartbreaking tone. he UNDOUBTEDLY would have apologized more profusely if jay didn’t attack immediately.
the other example is Season four, episode two. The ninja were in chens place discussing Zane’s death. jay says “I moved on. I feel guilt. These are not good feelings!” again, kai feels like he is being indirectly attacked, due to jay subtly suggesting that only he feels guilt. kai then says, “You think you feel bad? Imagine how I feel!”
and you might think oh but Kai is being self centered now. no. He’s not. Because remember what Lloyd told him before? Lloyd said Kai was selfish, for wanting to die instead of Zane. Kai felt suppressed and used jays words as a chance in desperation to vocalize some of his pain because he had no other chance to. And every time kai stated ANYTHING related to Grief, it’s automatically considered selfish whereas when jay does it it’s totally fine. kai’s feelings are ALWAYS being dismissed.
Kai handles grief destructively. He drinks, blames himself, mentally tortures himself. He literally has never cried in front of the others and silences his grief because he is criticized for it, especially by jay. It’s not that he isn’t vocal, it’s the fact that he CANT be. He’s SCARED to be.
both were in immense pain, but, and I literally don’t even know how many times I’ve said this, but the show needs to properly address this problem. kai being portrayed as selfish during grief is UNFAIR, and does not make sense AT ALL, when everything he says or does contrasts ‘selfishness’.
all the ninja have unique characteristics and they are so individually unique and reflect their nature
for example,
kai’s smile ( + dimples <33333 ) is bright, fearless, and contagious, his eyes radiate love and warmth, his laugh energetic and filled with enthusiasm
jay’s freckles remind you of stars, his smiles are timid yet adorable, his laugh loud and silly
cole’s hugs make you feel at home, eyes embedded in admiration and protection, his laugh is strong and smile is gentle yet valiant
lloyds laugh is quite mellow, voice smooth and soft, eyes curious yet immensely fond
zane’s words are a striving source of comfort, eyes tender, voice calm and patient, smile polite yet encouraging
nyas eyes remind you of calming waves against a shoreline (or when she’s mad, the complete opposite), voice firm and assertive, smile bold and daring
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best green boy!!
your honor, I indeed firmly believe that nya and lloyd are taller than kai
the superhero: lloyd
the supervillain: kai
the mayor: nya

50K to cousins, post a caption
Pray none of my enemies hold me captive
I grieve different”
Anyone else got really pissed over seabound?
part one
sometimes I wonder if I should tell my friends that I have a ‘blog’ about legoes
but then I remember that the average person would never understand the trauma of color coded ninjas
screenshot redraw of one of my fav Kai moments the screen shot ↓
1) leader cole for sure
2) Kai hasn’t lost this trait but I want more scenes of him being his adorable affectionate self
It’s well known that as the seasons went on, Jay lost the ‘inventor’ side of his personality, but do any of you think that there were other character traits that the ninja had that disappeared over time? Are there traits that disappeared that you wish had remained?
I get sad when someone says one ninja sacrificed more than the others for ninjago
like no :( they all hurt so much all their sacrifices are equally painful :((( give them hugs please
i’ve lately been seeing a lot of people comparing the rgb siblings relationships from one another... so I’m here to give my thoughts. before we begin I just want to clarify that I do NOT believe one relationship is more significant than the other. kai loves nya and lloyd EQUALLY, lloyd loves kai and nya EQUALLY, and nya loves kai and lloyd EQUALLY. ok! point made! jolly! also just a quick read on the image: colors correspond to each ninja (green= lloyd, etc), and the arrows work like this:
kai-----(kai’s relationship with image the arrow points towards)---> nya
Kai and Nya:
now, in their childhood, I believe kai played the parental role more than the older brother role (this still remains unchanged). nya simply played the roll of a little sister. HOWEVER. as nya got older, i believe her relationship with kai changed. instead of playing the little sister, she ALSO slowly accustomed herself to a parental role with kai, and before doing so playing the role of an ‘older sister’. Im thinking until around the age of 12 she played little sister, maybe after 12 and until she became samurai x an ‘older sister’ and then after samurai x she accustomed herself into a parental figure toward kai. Also, I do think as nya got older kai slowly eased himself out of ‘ parental’ and into ‘older brother’, but parental is and will ALWAYS be the default relationship with nya. Naturally, both are ‘parental’ in different ways: kai focuses much more on emotional support for nya, offering approval, comfort, nurturance, and love. nya focuses on self-affection, meaning supporting kai in terms of accepting himself, showing that she loves him (not directly, but through gifts/actions), etc. both ‘parent’ eachother in ways the other needs it
Kai and Lloyd;
this one is easy. kai was an obvious father figure/older brother figure to lloyd since day one, and we’ve seen him rotate between them both frequently. kai’s ‘parental’ style remains the same as it was with nya, he offers lloyd approval, comfort, nurturance, and love. and as an older brother, protects him and teases him (just like he does with nya). lloyd played the role of a younger brother, even considerably a son throughout the show. he looks up to kai as a role model, etc
Nya and Lloyd:
both are younger siblings. thats it. THATS ALL. because nya protects lloyd and loves him, lloyd loves nya and they spent lots of time (DEF DOING MISCHIEF.) when the others were out on missions (when lloyd was a kid and nya was not a ninja). they have a rlly mischievous bond, and definitely a lot of chaos when together
-----------------------------
first off, the BIGGEST similarity when it comes to how kai treats nya and lloyd (two slightly different relationship) is: parental LOVE. kai openly loves them both and always SHOWS it.
now, the biggest ‘difference’ is kai. nya and lloyd both have a more ‘respectful’ relationship with kai. yes, if nya got the chance she would soak him in water and if lloyd got the chance he would pour flour on kai. yes, kai and lloyd are double trouble and kai and nya are partners in crime. which is why im not talking about chaos, bc all three relationships have equal heaps of it. im talking maybe that nya and lloyd wouldnt curse in front of kai as often, and maybe listen to kai more than they would listen to the other (for example, if kai said to do ‘x’ then nya and lloyd would probably do it, but if nya/lloyd told lloyd/nya to do ‘x’ then theyd be stupid and ‘fight’ abt it). idk. just thoughts.
sibling angst is best angst
Your hc about kai being spared from prank wars bc of big brother privileges is so right I love you. I can imagine a massive prank war going on and kai having no idea its happening because lloyd specifically intercepts any pranks that would affect kai
anon… I love you MORE!!
imagine Kai just waking up on the morning wearing cat slippers and walking outside and he sees all the ninja on the floor and he looks at Lloyd and Lloyd shrugs and says, “prank war.”
half the time kai doesn’t even know a prank war is going on because
1) the master of pranks (Lloyd) does not touch him
2) anyone who lays a prank on Kai is to be demolished by the master of pranks
