Banner by @vase-of-lilieses
Lloyd walked into the house to see you humming as you danced around the kitchen and he smelled the food you were cooking, making his mouth water. He smirked as he saw the cute blue house dress you were wearing and you were in small white heels with your hair pulled up into a ponytail. He always when you looked like his good little housewife, you were, but when you dressed up like it, god, you were so sexy. He took off his jacket and pulled off his boots knowing you always scolded him for it. It was cute when you were mad but he wanted you in a good mood for tonight.
He walked over to you and you knew he was home so you didn’t jump when he wrapped his strong arms around your waist. You smiled and laid against his chest as he pressed a kiss to your forehead. “Welcome home, handsome.” You whispered and he smirked as he nuzzled into your neck and peppered kisses down your throat to your shoulders.
“Thank you, sweet girl.” Lloyd smirked and he pulled back to peer over your shoulder to look at what you’re cooking. “What’s on the menu for tonight?” He asked as his hands rubbed your hips softly.
“Roast, potatoes, and peas.” You smiled proudly when you heard a grunt of approval from him.
“My favorite.” He said with a swift kiss to your head before pulling away. “I’m going to go wash up. Dinner better be done when I come back.” He smirked and you nodded as you looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
“It will be. I promise.” You smiled as you pulled the pan of potatoes out of the oven. He winked at you before he went upstairs to get washed up for dinner and everything was ready once he came back downstairs. “Dinner is ready.” You said as you set the plates down and you opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into your glass before his.
He smirked at the spread and he took a seat at the head of the table, “Come give me a kiss, babygirl. Let me show you my gratitude.” He winked before you rounded the table and you went over to his seat. His arms wrapped around your waist and pulled you into his lap. You giggled as you settled against his lap and he kissed your lips passionately and deeply. “I have a surprise for you after dinner.”
You smiled widely at the mention of a surprise, “I can’t wait! Can you give me a hint, please?” You asked as you ran your fingers through his chopped hair and kissed his jaw softly.
“You have to be patient, darlin.” He sighed making you nod with a small pout on your lips and he smacked your cheek lightly as a warning. “No pouting. You know I don’t like pouting little girls.” He said sternly and you nodded quickly before you pulled away and moved to your side next to him. He placed a hand on your thigh as you two ate in silence. Lloyd drank down the wine while you sipped on the water you had on the table.
“Is everything good?” You asked and he smirked before nodding and he kissed your cheek.
“Very good.” He smiled as he continued to eat before his head started to get dizzy and his eyes started to go in and out of focus. He coughed softly and he tried to clear his head but he couldn’t and you looked at him worriedly.
“Are you okay?” You asked as you watched him and he nodded before clearing his throat.
“Y-yeah, just a little queasy. I think I need some air.” He said shakily as he stood up before he fell to the ground with a thud. You looked down at him and shrugged before you continued eating, and you finished eating before you cleaned up the kitchen, started the dishwasher before you walked back over to Lloyd on the floor.
You pulled your hair down with a fake sigh as you crouched beside him, “You always thought you were in control.” You whispered as you trailed a finger down his cheek. “Too bad you were always so fucking stupid.” You smirked before you patted his cheek and you grabbed some rope from under the sink and you tied his hands behind his back before you tied up his ankles. You grabbed him by his ankles and you dragged him to the bedroom before you set him up in the sturdiest wooden chair you could find and you tied his ankles to the legs of the chairs.
You pulled away and changed into a pair of leggings a black lace bra and one of his white button ups. You tied it around your waist before you reached under the bed and grabbed his small handgun and a few knives from the closet. You set them on the dresser and you watched him from the mirror in the room waiting for him to wake up. You walked over to the liquor platter in the corner of the room and you poured yourself a glass of Brandy with a cube of ice. You leaned against the dresser as you watched him and sipped on your drink.
About ten minutes later, he woke up with a groan and his blue eyes fluttered open and he looked around groggily. He looked at you and his eyes widened once he felt the rope around his ankles and wrists and he started tugging against it, making him flail in the chair. Once he calmed down for a minute he looked up at you with a glare.
“Y/n, let me go.” He growled dangerously and you hummed pretending to think about it before you finished your drink and you set it down.
You shook your head as you crossed your arms, “I can’t do that, Lloyd.” You said as you ran a hand through your hair.
He growled at your response and his jaw clenched and ticked as he got more angry, “I swear to god, if you don’t fucking let me go-”
“You’ll do what? Hm? Kill me? Lock me up?” You asked, cutting him off and he snarled at you but you rolled your eyes. “Well, you have already locked me up and remember when I tried to escape and you practically beat me to death?” You pondered as an evil glint was present in your cold stare. “This is my revenge. You’re a fucking piece of shit. Who thinks he can control everything in his life, but guess what, baby?” You asked mockingly as you walked up to him and you straddled his lap as you cupped his face to have his blue eyes looked into your eyes. “I fucking control you now, or I will kill you.” You growled before you patted his cheek with a smile. “Now, I’m going to show you how to be a good little housewife. Just like you wanted me to be.”
He growled up at you, “Not going to happen. I’m not going to take orders from some fucking-” Smack! You smacked him hard around the face, surprising him and cutting his sentence off.
“You better learn how to respect me or you won’t like the consequences.” You growled as you gripped his jaw tight making him wince slightly. “Now let’s put that mouth to good use.” You smirked before you pulled away from him and you untied his ankles to quickly retie them back together before he could make a move.
“W-what the fuck are you doing?!” He roared with anger and you just slapped his thigh hard.
“Shut up.” You growled before you hauled him up and onto the bed. You laid him back on the bed, he glared up at you as his spewed obscurites with you just rolled your eyes before you stripped off your leggings. You pulled off your black lace panties to reveal your bare shaved cunt. “Now, I’m gonna ride your face and you’re going to be a good wife and take it until I’m done with you, got it?” You asked and he just growled and you slapped his face again harder making him wince. “I said, do you understand?” You asked with a slight growl to your voice and he nodded reluctantly.
“I understand.” He huffed and you smirked before you leaned down to press a kiss to his lips but he didn’t kiss back and you pulled away with a fake pout on your face.
“Don’t be like that. I’m just showing you that you can’t control women and that no matter how much you try to break us, we just come back stronger. And do you know what’s more dangerous than a humiliated man?” You asked as you leaned down till your face was inches away from his. “A nasty woman.” You smirked before you straddled his face and you felt him groan as he looked up at your cunt. Your smirk widened as you felt him start to eat you out with a slow momentum but it grew faster as his tongue lapped at your cunt. You humped his face softly moaning at the pleasure his mouth gave you and you jumped when you felt his teeth graze against your clit and you slapped his chest. “Watch those pretty pearls of yours.” You growled and he huffed against your cunt and he continued to lap at your cunt.
You moaned softly as you threw your head back and your hands moved down to his hair and you tugged on his cropped hair softly. “Mm, good boy. This is how a good little wifey is supposed to act.” You purred and he groaned against your cunt as your grip in his hair tightened and you grinded down on his mouth. You moved your hips faster on his mouth making your moans grow louder and louder before you came crashing down. Your orgasm ripped through your pussy making your thighs shake as you came hard on his tongue. He grunted softly as he tasted your sweet juices on his tongue.
He should be hating this, you’re fucking humiliating him and turning him into some pathetic man, but fuck, if it didn’t make his pants tighten. He wasn’t supposed to get off on this, you were supposed to be his good little girl, that’s why he took you and married you but now you were getting revenge on him. He had to admit that he was maybe harsh on you but he had to train you to be good. Now he was regretting it, or maybe just maybe, he was starting to like this.
You kept riding him through your orgasm and he thought that you were done but he was wrong. You kept grinding on his face as moans poured out of your lips. Lloyd tried to breathe but all he could breathe in was your scent and you continued to ride his mouth. He felt light headed as you rode his mouth till you came again with a cry of his name. You gripped his hair tight and you pulled his head away so he could breathe and you panted softly smirking down at him and you tugged his hair one more time before you pulled off of him after you rode out your second orgasm and you laid against the bed next to him.
You smirked over at him and you caressed his cheek softly as you laid on his pec softly. “You know, I do love you. I know it’s fucked up but I did fall in love with you the more time I spent with you. I couldn’t help it. Yes, you were my capture but you took care of me but I realized I didn’t want to be your good little wife. Then I thought to myself, what’s stopping me from turning you into my good little wife?” You smirked as you pressed your lips to his cheek in a soft kiss. “Don’t you worry your pretty little head. You’re my little wife now.”

today, me and my sibling made death battle machines and pitted them against each other. the one with the ninjas piloting is called “wu’s team building exercise” and the one with the flaming tit on top is called “diarrhea johnson’s freedom-licious nutbuster 3000”.
diarrhea johnson’s machine can only go in one direction [circle] and wu’s teambuilding exercise can only go in every direction all at once. it has 11 wheels and 6 joints/swivels for maximum teamwork difficulty. kai is in charge of main steering from his post on top of the double-decker couch, and due to an error in lower-couch capacity calculations, the secondary steering mechanism had to be moved to the very front of the vehicle last-minute, but lloyd is braving it like a champ. cole is on back right steering and zane mirrors him with back left steering. wu’s job is to hold The Skull.
in the end, diarrhea johnson won with only a single illegal nuclear rocket booster knocked off from the impact, and wu’s team building exercise was broken into 4 pieces. among the detached was the expresso machine/main and only engine in the back that jay was put in charge of constant monitoring, as well as the emergency shut down explosion button [and only form of breaks] on the very back of the vehicle. lloyd was flung across the floor and hit the dishwasher head on. he is still in the ICU. however, when the illegal nuclear rocket booster was knocked off of mr johnson’s vehicle, it also set off a nuclear explosion and rendered everywhere within a 100 mile radius an instant-death zone. diarrhea johnson did not survive. however, we concluded that the ninja are probably fine, because they are only glowing green, and as everyone knows, lloyd’s power glows green, so nothing is out of the ordinary.
perhaps most impressive of all is that The Skull was not once knocked from wu’s hand. truly a legendary battle was had today, but i think the true hero here does not lie in the winner - but in each of us.
#ninjago#lloyd garmadon#zane julien#cole brookstone#jay walker#kai smith#wu garmadon#diarrhea johnson#wu’s teambuilding exercise#diarrhea johnson’s freedom-licious nutbuster 3000#lego#look. i had a really boring day at work and i had to get all my energy out somehow#we spent like 2 hours building and then destroying these abominations#i’ve only had some of these mini figures for like 24 hours and i’m already torturing them#emergency happy#ultimate favorite#sibling shenanigans#we helped each other build these with lots of parallel play and then made up everything as we went laughing our asses off the whole time#honestly i felt like a kid again. i haven’t played with legos in years. i love having stupid silly fun

Ninjago characters and things that actually happened when I was in a group home for a year and seven months
—
Lloyd: hey Kai, check out this candy I found!
Lloyd: *gives Kai the middle of one of those chalky dish detergent pods*
Kai: *eats it*
—
Zane: Kai, Cole, Jay, and Lloyd have drugs in their rooms
Kai, Cole, Jay, and Lloyd:
—
*throwing paper airplanes around the rec room in the Monestary*
Lloyd: *leans to catch a plane while on a stool*
Lloyd: THIS IS LEGITNESS
Lloyd: *falls backwards off the stool*
—
Kai: these skates are hurting my feet
Zane: well they are figure skates.
Kai: do I look like a figure skater?!
—
Cole: *driving the ultra sonic raider down a hill in neutral*
Jay, in his head: is this even legal
—
Jay and Nya: *kiss in public*
Kai: PDA!!!!!!!!
—
Cole: I wonder what hand sanitizer tastes like
Cole: *squirts hand sanitizer in his mouth then proceeds to freak the fuck out because of the taste*
Wu: I can’t believe I have to keep hand sanitizer out of reach of these idiots
—
Yes all of these actually happened. No I am not going to elaborate because I barely remember the context for literally any of these.
Look, when you live with a bunch of teen delinquents for a year and seven months you’re gonna run into some weird ass fuckin dumbassery. Also some fun facts about these under a read more because why not
I only heard about the first one by word of mouth but yeah I don’t doubt that it happened considering I knew the kids involved and that was why staff had to give us the dishwasher pods, which were kept locked up
The second one prevented me from seeing February 2019’s lunar eclipse which made me all kinds of pissed off
The kid in the third one was like 12 at the time that happened and staff was seriously letting us throw paper airplanes around the living room for some fucking reason
The fifth one is based on something a staff literally did, and yes it is in fact illegal to drive down a hill in neutral where I lived at the time
The last one is why the hand sanitizer was kept in the staff office.
Tbh I’m considering moving back to that town and working at that group home when I’m 21, I’d have to learn to drive first tho. Not something I’m eager to do but eh, just being at that group home was an experience lol

What are some of your favourite movies?
Thank you for the ask! (Don't take the numbers too seriously)
Midnight Cowboy (1969), dir. John Schlesinger - Joe Buck the Texan dishwasher goes to New York to hustle women but falls for the little scammer Rico Rizzo who offers him a place to stay when he in record-speed becomes homeless.
A New Leaf (1971), dir. Elaine May - Henry Graham, a rich man who has been living a very unsustainable lifestyle, is now broke. He wants to find a wife, kill her and then inheret her wealth. He ends up with Henrietta, a rich, family-less, botanist who is also a big clutz. ROMANCE.
Gilda (1946), dir. Charles Vidor - Johnny Farrell (bad bi rep) goes to Argentina and gets rescued from being mugged by the casino owner and tungston cartel boss Ballin Mundson, and starts working for him. One day Ballin has found himself an American wife, Gilda. Surprise, surprise. She's Johnny's ex. Drama. Amazing. Women's rights, as Johnny and Ballin are peak misogynistic.
The Roaring Twenties (1939), dir. Raoul Walsh - Eddie Bartlett returns home from the war and its rough being a veteran. He ends up working for the mob and then teams up with George Hally (who is >:)) and they go right to the top. There's like a love-gemoetrical shape. Jean Sherman, a performer, likes Lloyd Hart (friend of Eddie who works for him) but Eddie wants Jean. The singer Panama Smith yearns for Eddie. George and Eddie are married and divorced at the same time. Amazing. Love it.
Deadhead Miles (1972), dir. Vernon Zimmerman - Alan Arkin and Paul Benedict drive a truck. That's it. The music is great. The dialogue is interesting.
Harvey (1950), dir. Henry Koster - Elwood P. Dowd, a pleasant man living with his sister, has an invisible rabbit friend. People think he is mentally unwell, and his sister wants him put away. Pleasantness prevails! Long live kindness!
3:10 to Yuma (1957), dir. Delmer Daves - Dan Evans must regain his fatherly masculinity, he thinks, after his sons see him willingly hand their horses over to Ben Wade and his gang of outlaws etc etc. Because there's a drought, the Evans family also needs cash (for their little ranch), and so Dan agrees to help get Ben to prison in Yuma, aka. on the 3:10 train to Yuma. In Contention City, Dan and Ben are in the bridal suite, and Ben being a slut temptress tries to bribe Dan with cash into letting him go while >:) on the bridal bed. Amazing. Iconic.
The Wicker Man (1973), dir. Robin Hardy - Police sergeant Neil Howie goes to Summerisle to find the missing girl Rowan. Everybody there are unchristian sluts to Howie's horror. Unbeknownst to him, he is a fool. Very good.
Real Life (1979), dir. Albert Brooks - A fictional version of Albert Brooks wants to make a movie about real life! He gets himself a family and some scientists to study this thing. The problem is that Brooks is not completely stable and well... what is 'real life' on camera. Amazing! Love it!
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), dir. Philip Kaufman - Aliens are taking over and look just like us. Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams are so <333333. If you've not seen it, it's kind of fun having seen the 1958 version first (the book isn't all that) so you get the little thing about the man running around all :'0. And, it's a good movie. Both are good.
I have many more. These are the ones I remember now :))) Thank you again :)))

Sean Bean in marriage with Nicholas Walker celebrates the relationship that lost its fizz
marriage★★★★
“Marriage for 27 years? It’s risky.” Sean Bean said in a recent interview about his role opposite Nicola Walker in the BBC drama. marriage. But in the opening scene, in which Ian (Ben) and Emma (Walker) bicker over the exorbitant cost of a bag of tomato sauce and the benefits of potatoes as you stand in line at a monotonous Spanish airport, you might wonder if the actor was momentarily confused about the show he was discussing.
marriage It is exactly what is on the box. An unadorned title couldn’t be more accurate. Written and directed by Stefan Golashevsky.my momAnd the he and she), is caught in the middle of Ian and Emma’s long and enduring but perhaps turbulent marriage. Fizz got away with the relationship a long time ago. According to the traditional metaphors of TV drama, we have come to witness a marriage in the midst of his death.
Nicholas Walker and Sean Penn in Stefan Golashevsky’s drama Marriage.attributed to him:Rory Mulvey
They are an ordinary couple living an ordinary life in what appears to be an ordinary town in Britain. Ian was recently laid off from his (unspecified) job. A tough guy in his late fifties and early sixties, he’s eccentric and clumsy. His mother recently passed away and he is struggling to fill his day with meaningful activities. Watching him trying to find a certain shampoo in the supermarket or ironing about the condition of the elevator makes one laugh and cry at the same time. It became a square dowel in a round hole that probably wasn’t made for these times.
Emma is distracted by her job as a lawyer at a lesser-known suburban law firm. Jamie (Henry Lloyd-Jones), her younger, smarter, and arrogant boss, takes her for granted. She leans loyally on her wicked and ruthless elderly father, Jerry (James Bolam), who relieves frustration over his plight at his understandably resentful daughter. Their fraught relationship is an insight into a generational conflict that is rarely seen.
Although Ian and Emma’s interactions are cliched and boring throughout the four-part drama, it’s fraught with familiarity, realism, and a distinct sense that this is how two people who have endured a very long partnership talk to each other.
The viewer must work for the redeeming returns in the marriage.attributed to him:Rory Mulvey
But in many ways, marriage It is an elaborate game of misinformation. Beneath the everyday boredom that Golaszewski separates with an unhurried, long, and natural camera, there are other dramas lurking. Ian and Emma’s boring conversations about dishwashers (and potato jackets, while we’re at it) boil with unresolved tensions. Ian urges Emma to Jimmy and what he thinks is happening between them, each oblivious to the other’s emotional blind spots. Some conflicts erupt, and most don’t, but what we understand about this couple who were able to say nothing and everything at the same time is that this is the fabric of their enduring marriage.
It’s hard to imagine actors other than Walker (who wistfully invested in every onscreen moment across four seasons of not forgotten) and Bean (recently seen in the serious prison drama time) Get rid of this kind of natural or balance between boredom and joy. Both have the ability to point to deep waters running through silence and provide lines full of overt and secret meanings.

He's in the kitchen doing the dishes when the thought comes to him. it sneaks up on his absent mind quietly, with very little fanfare. Ghosting through his head as a whisper of an offer, planting a seed thats roots grow deeper and deeper even if it may never flower.
What if you left it all behind?
He rinses the bowl and sets it in the dishwasher and resolves never to think of that again. Never. It was absurd, it was outlandish, it was cruel. He wouldn't abandon his family, his girlfriend, his home- not even if this place was filled with reminders of trauma and pain that made his mouth taste like pennies when he thought about them too hard. Not even if his time in the Never Realm had distanced himself from his life so badly that he felt only vague, ephemeral emotions towards the people and place that used to make him feel home.
They always have an emergency go-bag packed and waiting.
What if you left in the middle of the night? you could leave a note explaining everything. you could leave without a trace.
Cooking dinner for his family feels empty. Going through the motions, a pinch of salt dashed just to do it and not because there was love behind it. No matter how many times he adjusts the recipe, his strawberry shortcake comes out a little less sweet than before.
He adds things to his go-bag and doesn't try to dwell on what that means.
What if you were happier out there, on your own? What if you could finally heal? You've been on your alone before. You survived then.
Another stilted, awkward conversation with Lloyd. Training where he's out of practice and clunky, where his moves don't quite line up with the others, where he's always a step or three off. They want him to be someone else- the Zane from before. His life is split like that, into befores and afters, only this after is the furthest hes strayed from who he used to be. Cole's eyes land on him after a joke, hope extinguishing as Zane doesn't laugh.
There are irreconcilable differences between the man he is and the man he was. They miss the before. They do not want the after.
Whats stopping you?
It's pitch black outside, the moon swallowed up in the darkness of the sky. It's warm out and the weight of the bag comforting in his hands.
Well... nothing.

Never Put Off Until Tomorrow
Prompts: Chores and Video Games
Word Count: 4,850
Characters: The squad + Pixal
Timeline: between seasons 11 and 12
Trigger Warnings: None
Summary: …what can be done today, yada, yada, yada, we all know the saying. So do the ninja- when Master Wu is drilling it into their heads every minute of every day, it’s kind of hard to forget.
Naturally, it only takes them a week (and the biggest new video game in Ninjago) to do so.
Read on FFN.net
Read on Ao3
Tumblr work under the cut
“Get that gun out of his hand! Without it, he’ll be defenseless and we can take him down easily!”
“I’m trying, Jay!” Lloyd said through gritted teeth. “One wrong move and he’ll get me with that thing!”
“Use your powers!” Jay raised his sword and dove at the enemy, forcing him to turn and face him. As their swords clashed with a loud clang of metal, Jay quickly pulled back as Lloyd shot a blast of power at the attacker, who promptly collapsed to the ground.
“Alright! Way to go, green ma- look out!”
Lloyd shrieked as someone suddenly jumped on him from behind, skewering a sword through his skull. The green ninja fell to the ground and vanished in a puff of smoke.
The ninja blinked at the scene before them, speechless.
Jay suddenly let out a whoop, leaning over to high-five Kai. “Way to go, bro! You’re so good at this game!”
“He came out of nowhere,” Lloyd huffed, tossing his control to the ground. “He didn’t even give me a chance to fight back.”
Kai reclined, putting his hands behind his head. “Work smarter, not harder, green machine.”
Lloyd scowled, and Nya shot him a sympathetic glance. “Hey, Lloyd, you lasted a whole ten minutes longer than last time! You’ve drastically improved.”
“Don’t feel bad,” Kai winked. “Even Jay couldn’t beat me, I wouldn’t expect you to.”
Cole shook his head. “Dude, you’re unchecked! We’ve only had this game for a week and already, you’re insane. Let’s just say I’m very glad you’re on our team.”
“I’ll say,” Zane agreed. “The Critical Conquest Gaming Tournament is going to have some of the best gamers in Ninjago. You’re good, Kai- we all are- but we all need to be at the top of our game if we want a chance at winning.”
“We got this, guys,” Nya assured. “We’ve fought off serpentine, ghosts, the Overlord, Oni- winning a city-wide video game tournament should be a piece of cake.”
“Speaking of cake-”
“No cake,” Jay snapped at Cole. “Not until we’ve won this thing. I need you to practice.”
“Dude, chill, I’ve been practicing!”
“Then can you show me your double twist dash-melee maneuver?”
Cole blinked at him. “My what?”
“That’s what I thought. Here, let me show you. We’ll try until you’ve got it down.”
“Who put you in charge?”
“You did. Literally. You guys chose me to be the team captain for the competition.”
“Whatever.”
“Lloyd, come here, so he has someone to practice on.”
“Why me?”
“Because you need to work on your stealth. Kai got that jump on you surprisingly easily. You’re a good fighter, Lloyd, but fighting doesn’t matter if your enemy kills you before you have the chance. Practice your stealth and dodging on Cole.”
“Ready to get your butt kicked, bud?” Cole reached his hands out, cracking his knuckles before picking up the controller.
“Ha! You wish. The only one who will be getting their butt kicked is-”
The sharp rapping of something against the floor interrupted him, and they turned to see Master Wu standing behind them, his gaze disapproving as he clutched his staff firmly in hand.
“Students, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Uhh, practicing for the Critical Conquest tournament?” Nya said. “I thought that was pretty obvious!”
Wu glared at her. “I know what you’re doing. But I’m afraid I’m going to have to cut all this short. The six of you have many chores to do.”
“Chores?” they cried in unison.
“The past week since you bought that game, you have done nothing but sit around on that couch and play it. In all that time, your chores have piled up. Now, I’m cutting you off. They need to be done, now.”
“But Master!” Jay pleaded. “The tournament starts in only a few hours!”
Master Wu smirked. “Well, I guess you better be fast, then.”
---
The ninja stared down at the alarmingly long list Master Wu had given them, no one speaking a word for nearly a solid minute.
“Why,” Kai groaned, “did we ever put all of these off?”
“Why didn’t Master Wu just let us wait one more day to do the chores?” Jay complained. “The tournament would be all over then!”
“Well, he didn’t,” Cole said. “So there’s no use in complaining. We might as well get started.”
“Alright, guys, if we’re going to get through all of this before the tournament starts, we’re gonna have to divide and conquer,” Nya said. “Let’s see. Zane, Lloyd, you guys take the kitchen. Jay, Cole, you can check the vehicles to make sure they’re operating properly- wait, scratch that, Cole doesn’t know shit about mechanics. Besides, putting you two alone together is never a good idea.”
“Hey!”
“Zane, you go with Jay on the machines. Cole, you’re with Lloyd. Kai and I will work outside on raking and fixing the training course.”
“Hey, no fair, you just gave yourself the easiest job!” Cole grumbled.
“I’ll inform you that raking leaves is very mundane!”
“Yeah!” Kai snapped. “Especially when it’s cold out like this. I’m gonna freeze my fingers off!”
“You’re the fire ninja, you’ll figure something out,” Nya snapped. “C’mon, let’s go.”
“Hey, Cole? You think this is so easy? We can trade places! You wanna trade places?”
“Actually, I’ve decided to be nice and let you take this one.”
Kai glared at him. “You’re only saying that because you know I hate it!”
Cole leaned back against the table, smirking. “Maybe.”
“Come on, Kai, we’re going.” Nya grabbed his hand and yanked him out the door.
“I guess we better get working,” Cole sighed. “Jay, Zane, you guys need a copy of your tasks?”
Zane shook his head. “I’ve got the list committed to memory. And there’s a lot to do, so we better go.”
As they left the room, Cole turned to Lloyd. “Put a check mark or something by the things the others are doing, so we can see what’s left for us.”
Lloyd made little marks next to the tasks, his pencil slowing as it reached the end. His frown deepened. “I swear, this list is getting longer. Some of these are just ridiculous! Polish the counters? Clean out the oven? Dust the tops of the cabinets? Who does these things?”
“Normal people, Lloyd. It’s not my fault that we’re so busy saving the city that you’ve never done anything more than the most basic chores in your life.”
“I’ve done chores!”
“Darkley’s doesn’t count, bud. I bet the only thing you did there was clean spiders out of your bed.”
“They were fire ants,” Lloyd grumbled.
Cole turned on him with wide eyes. “What?”
Lloyd stiffened, suddenly seeming to realize what he had just said. “Uh… I mean… don’t tell Kai, okay?”
Cole stared at him for a moment, before sighing. “I’ll let it go, this once. But only because you’ve had a lot worse things than fire ants since then. Those kids are jerks, though.”
“I know.”
“... They really did that?”
“Yes, Cole! Do I need to show the scars to prove it?”
“No! I was just- you know what, forget I even said anything. Let’s get to work. First up, doing the dishes.” They turned towards the sink, where dozens of dirty plates and cups had accumulated.
“Seriously? Doesn’t anyone ever clean off their dishes after eating?”
Cole shot him a look. “Name one time you did that.”
“Okay, so never, but we’re ninja, not dishwashers! What do you expect?”
“Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today, Lloyd.”
Lloyd groaned. “I can’t believe I’m missing Critical Conquest for this.”
---
“Jay! You’re supposed to be repairing the sentry cannons on the Land Bounty!”
“Chill out, Zane, I’ll get to it in a minute-”
Zane suddenly snatched the remote control out of his hand. “Jay! We’re never going to finish in time for the tournament if you don’t focus! Stop playing with toys!”
“It’s not a toy!” He gestured towards the small remote-controlled robot. “This thing is going to be a major distraction! It could make it or break it for us in battle!”
Zane eyed the robot skeptically. “This. Distract our enemies?”
“Well, I was going to make it into a smoke bomb, but someone kept pestering me!”
“Look, Jay, this isn’t the time to work on your inventions. You can do that later. Right now, you need to fix the sentries.”
“I already looked at the sentries,” he whined. “They were completely fried in our last adventure. I have to rewire the whole thing.”
Zane blinked at him. “Isn’t… that kind of your job?”
“Yeah, well, it’s hard work! I don’t want to do it! I’ll take any other chore on your list.”
“Well, someone needs to do it, and you’re the only one who knows how.”
“Not true! Why don’t you ask Pixal?”
He gestured towards the nindriod, who was tinkering with what appeared to be a small metal box.
“Pixal,” he called, walking over to her, “do you know how to rewire the sentries?”
“Yes, but I know for a fact that Jay does, too. I’m not doing it for you.”
“Aww, come on, Pix,” Jay groaned. “Why don’t you have to do anything while the rest of us are all working our butts off?”
She glanced wryly at Jay’s little robot, who was waving cheerfully at her. “I wouldn’t exactly call it that. But I’m not helping because I already did all my chores while the rest of you were playing video games.”
Jay went pink in the face, and even Zane felt himself avoiding Pixal’s gaze.
“Critical Conquest is very important,” Jay muttered.
“More important than making sure all our weapons are operational? Or restocking the medbay?”
“We can do those things any time! The competition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“Actually, there is another one next month-”
���Shut up, Zane. With our luck, we’ll probably be fighting evil nindroids or will be locked inside a different realm by that point, anyway.”
“I’m not helping you,” Pixal sniffed. “So I don’t know why you’re still here.”
Not taking Pixal’s… not-so-subtle hints, Jay leaned in towards her. “Whatcha workin’ on?”
Pixal eyed him warily. “... It’s a jetpack. I wanted to make something more compact in case I was in a situation where I couldn’t use the Samurai X suit.”
“That’s cool! Although, it might work better if you recalibrated the engines to-”
“Jay,” Pixal said sharply. “I know what I’m doing. Please go work on your chores.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he grumbled. “No one ever lets me have any fun.”
Zane shook his head, wandering over to the Earth Driller where he was working on replacing the paneling that had been damaged in the Oni incident.
He couldn’t have been doing so for more than fifteen minutes when the sound of a small explosion interrupted him.
Zane jerked to his feet, dashing over to where the sound had come from.
Jay had jumped back from Pixal’s jetpack, which was now black and smoking.
Of course it was.
“What happened?”
Jay scratched his head nervously. “Well, you see… I really didn’t want to work on those sentries, so when I noticed Pixal stepping out of the room for a moment…”
Zane sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Are you alright?”
Jay grinned. “Right as rain. Not even a scar like last time!”
“Okay, that’s good, now I feel less bad for saying this- what were you thinking?”
“I couldn’t help myself, Zane! She calibrated it all wrong!”
“Well, evidently, you were the one who did it wrong, seeing as it exploded within five minutes of you getting your hands on it.”
Jay jumped nearly a foot in the air. “Pixal! You’re back! Ah… um, I’m really sorry about your jetpack, I was only trying to…”
Pixal marched forward, snatching it off the floor. “It doesn’t matter, it’s done now.”
“I can fix it-”
“You’ve done quite enough,” Pixal snapped. “Why don’t you just go finish your chores now?”
“But-”
Pixal held up the burnt jetpack, shaking it lightly. “You owe me.”
“Fine,” Jay groaned. “I’ll rewire the stupid sentries.”
---
“If I have to rake one more pile of leaves, something is going to end up on fire.”
“Well, luckily for you, that was the last of them.” Nya set down her rake, rubbing her hands together. “Now we just have to dispose of the leaf bags.”
She and Kai glanced over towards the towering pile of leaf bags, and Kai groaned.
“It’s going to take forever to throw these all away!”
“Kai, the dumpster is just on the other side of the Monastery wall!”
“Yeah, but we can only carry a few bags at a time, and we’re going to have to make so many trips!”
“Well, unless you’ve got a better idea, we don’t have a choice.”
Kai paused, his eyes lighting up. “Wait-”
“No, Kai, we are not burning the leaves.”
“I wasn’t going to say that! Although… it’s not a half-bad idea…”
“Kai!”
“Okay, okay, no burning! What I was going to say was, why don’t we just toss the bags over the wall and into the dumpster?”
Nya frowned. “We’d miss half of them and then have to go over there anyway and pick them all up.”
“No, we could do it like in Critical Conquest! Remember? The ground-bash move? This is just like that!”
“Kai, that’s just a video game. This is real life!”
“Yeah, but wouldn’t it still work?”
Nya frowned, stepping forward and eyeing up the roof of the Monastery. “I suppose if we got the right angle… we’d have to make sure an ample amount of newtons were applied with each hit to reach the correct velocity… and of course we’d have to take into consideration factors like density and wind acceleration per second and its tendency to carry-”
“Okay, okay, enough with your science-y nerd stuff!”
“It’s just basic physics, Kai. I mean, there are a lot of external factors to consider that wouldn’t be present in a lab setting, although I still think it would be quite simple-”
“Would it work or not?” Kai interrupted. “Yes or no, I want a one-word answer.”
“Yes. We just need to get the proper positioning-”
“Can I be the one bashing the bags?”
Nya sighed. “Only if you do exactly as I tell you-”
“Whoooooo!” Kai cried, running off to grab the rake as he swung it around fiercely. “Who’s ready to bash some leaf bags?”
“Kai! I said to do exactly as I say-”
---
Despite Nya’s initial trepidations, the process did not end up being a total disaster, and they actually ended up getting the chore done decently quickly. Now all they had left to do was to test and recalibrate the training course.
Nya glanced down at her watch. Only an hour and a half until the tournament started. Her chances of getting extra practice on those tricky combos were looking slimmer by the second. Hopefully, Kai’s mastery of the game, Jay’s high skill levels, and Cole’s advanced items and power-ups would be enough to help them beat-
“Nya!” Kai shrieked. “I said, turn it off!”
Nya snapped out of her thoughts, glancing up at her brother, who had been knocked to the ground by a whirring training dummy. “Oh, shit!” She spun towards the controls and shut them down, jogging over to Kai. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I think so, I just-” Kai reached for her extended hand, pulling back with a sharp cry as they made contact.
“What?”
“My hand,” he grimaced. “It hurts like hell.”
---
“You can’t throw out the Eggo Waffles!” Lloyd insisted, grabbing at the box in Cole’s hands
“Lloyd, they expired three days ago.”
“So what, they’re still edible.”
“They’re going.” Cole gave the box a strong tug, jerking it out of Lloyd’s hands and dropping it in the garbage. Lloyd huffed, crossing his arms.
“Kai would’ve let me keep them.”
“No, he wouldn’t have, because he doesn’t want you to get food poisoning.”
Lloyd paused for a moment, before amending, “Jay would’ve let me keep them.”
Cole sighed. “Yeah, and then you guys would’ve eaten them, and we would’ve ended up with two sick ninja.”
“I wouldn’t get sick! I have these super cool powers that protect me-”
“We don’t have any proof of that. We still don’t know exactly what your powers do.”
“Which means we can’t rule that out yet!”
Cole rubbed his head. “Out of all the people I could’ve gotten stuck cleaning out the freezer with… it had to be you. The one who gets emotionally attached to frozen waffles.”
“I am not emotionally attached-”
“Are you kidding me? He can’t play with this on! This thing is stiff, it seriously restricts his movement!”
“It’s not a question, Jay, he needs to keep it on!”
“Is it actually that bad, though? Couldn’t he skip it for one game?”
“Not unless you want it to get worse!”
Cole and Lloyd exchanged a glance and stepped out into the hallway, where the other four ninja were gathered.
“What’s going on?”
Zane opened his mouth to speak. “There was-”
“Kai!” Lloyd interrupted suddenly, darting over to him. “What happened to your hand?”
Cole blinked, realizing for the first time that Kai had a swathe of bandages wrapped around his hand.
Kai yelped in pain as Lloyd touched it, and the green ninja recoiled, his eyes widening in guilt. “Oh my gosh, I’m sorry!”
Nya rolled her eyes. “Don’t apologize, Lloyd, he’s fine. He’s just being a big baby about all of this.”
“Am not. It hurts!”
Zane stifled a sigh. “Kai, it is only a bad pulled muscle. Apart from being painful and needing plenty of rest, it’s nothing serious.”
“Well, you don’t know what it feels like,” Kai snapped. “It’s a lot worse than ‘nothing serious.’”
“I scanned you. I am quite certain my diagnosis is correct.”
Nya snickered, and Kai shot her a look. “Shut up, you. You’re the one who did this to me.”
“You’re the one who wasn’t paying attention!”
“Yeah, well, you’re the one who was supposed to be-”
“Guys!” Jay cried. “Can’t you see we have more pressing matters at hand? Severe injury or not, Kai can’t play Critical Conquest like this. And he’s our best player!”
“Alright,” Lloyd said. “So we don’t have our best player anymore. That’s bad. But Jay’s still a beast! And Cole, and Nya, and everyone except me, basically-”
“He could be the worst player in all of existence and it still wouldn’t matter,” Cole pointed out. “We need six players to compete or they will disqualify us.”
“But if Kai can’t play, we have no one else! There are no backups!” Nya huffed, turning on Jay. “You’re our team captain! Why didn’t you prepare any backups?”
“Because we know no one else! We live in an isolated monastery at the top of the tallest mountain for miles, what did you expect? Besides, I wasn’t anticipating this to happen!”
Zane frowned. “Well, if Kai can’t play, and we have no backup, then our only choice is to drop out-”
“Wait!” Jay cried suddenly. “I think I might have an idea of someone.”
---
“Please please please please-”
Pixal raised an eyebrow at him. “Do you really think begging is going to change my mind?”
“Please, Pixal, we need a sixth player, and you’re the only person I can think of!”
“Why would I help you after you blew up my jetpack?”
Kai gaped at him. “You what?”
Jay fought back the heat spreading across his face. “That’s not important right now! Pixal, I promise I’ll fix it, just please compete with us!”
Pixal frowned at him, which wasn’t the most reassuring answer.
“C’mon Pix- I’ll do anything.”
“I don’t know, Jay-”
“We’ll do all your chores for the next month.”
“What?”
“We will?”
“Jay, what the heck! We never agreed to that!”
Pixal smiled at him. “I would’ve accepted it if you offered a week, but that’s very generous of you.”
The others shot him smoldering glares, and Jay groaned. “It doesn’t matter, we don’t have time for this.” Glancing down at his phone, he sucked in his breath. “We’ve only got an hour until the tournament! Zane, can you teach Pixal how to play?”
Zane blinked at him. “In an hour?”
“Just cover the basics. We don’t have time for perfection. Just teach her as much as you can before the tournament starts.”
“Alright, I’ll see what I can do.”
As soon as they were out of the room, Jay wheeled around, moaning. “We are so hooped! She doesn’t know how to play! Kai, how could you be careless enough to injure yourself?”
“Oh, sure, blame the victim!” Kai snapped. “Would it kill you to show a little sympathy to your injured teammate?”
“You pulled a muscle, you baby!” Nya groaned. “Pixal’s a fast learner, hopefully, she’ll get the hang of it.”
“Fast learner or not, nothing can beat hours of experience,” Lloyd said. “Let’s just hope the other contestants aren’t as good.”
---
“These dudes are insane!”
Jay continued to scroll through the queued-up players, examining their stats, his jaw dropping. “How much have these people been grinding?”
“So much for an easy win,” Lloyd grumbled.
Zane and Pixal walked into the room, holding their controllers. “I think I’ve done everything I can with Pixal. The competition starts in five minutes, I suggest we get ready.”
“Alright.” Jay turned towards Pixal as Zane worked on setting up the game. “We’re going to need your help, but since you don’t have experience, I think the best move is to have you stay behind us and play defense.”
Pixal smirked. “I’ll do my best.”
“Guys, we have to queue up!”
“Are the headsets working?”
“They’re ready, what about the controllers? All charged?”
“We really shouldn’t be checking these kinds of things literally three minutes before the tournament, but yes, they are.”
“Hurry, guys! It’s about to start!”
Zane blinked at the screen. “Jay… you named our team the Fast Chickens?”
“It’s a good name!”
The others groaned, and Jay glared at them. “We’ll see who’s complaining when we win this thing!”
Jay fidgeted through most of the opening speeches from the hosts of the competition as they went over rules and procedures. And, after what simultaneously felt like both a million years later and only the blink of an eye, the game was finally starting. They got lucky with their spawn point, and after a few minutes, were able to collect some good resources and get a good start. Cole, Zane, and Nya were able to take down some of the weaker groups before they collected supplies while Jay and the others continued collecting and building up defenses.
Checking the score count, he could see there were already twenty teams down in various parts of the map, and he knew his team had been responsible for felling three of them. Jay couldn’t stop himself from smiling. It seemed like nothing could be going better.
That is, until they suffered a major blow on the southwestern flank of their territory against a high-level team- the CrownViolets, they called themselves. (Which was nowhere near as cool sounding as the Fast Chickens, Jay totally wasn’t insecure about that at all.) After a fierce fight that ended up costing them several lives- and robbing Zane of his last, taking him out of the game- they realized they couldn’t win this fight and backed down, sacrificing a sizeable chunk of their turf.
While still monitoring that boundary, they decided to primarily focus on expanding in the other direction. Their tactic seemed to be working well, and although the CrownViolets kept on encroaching on them from the boundary, the other teams weren’t backing down, and although none managed to defeat the rival team, they were certainly taking their tolls on them. Jay hoped that the other teams would eventually take the Violets out for them, although he had to admit that would be extremely lucky.
They were getting down to the last few teams in the tournament. When the top ten were remaining, special, more deadly weapons were hidden around, and with them, teams began to fight back harder. The Fast Chickens held their own, but by the time they were down to two teams remaining- them and the CrownViolets- both Jay and Lloyd had been killed and eliminated. Only Cole, Nya, and Pixal remained. The CrownViolets still had four players left, but they were weak. If the ninja were strategic enough, they could still win this.
But Pixal was a major hindrance. She had been plenty good at holding back and defending them, but now, with so few left, she was going to have to start playing a more active role. If only Kai had still been there.
“Alright, they’re somewhere around here.” Nya’s character pulled up her radar. “There seems to be two of them right up ahead-”
“Alright, Pixal.” Jay leaned over her shoulder, coaching her. “You’re going to have to start getting offensive. Nya says there’s only two, so there shouldn’t be a problem, but there could be an ambush, or these two could have higher health. We don’t want to take any chances. While Nya and Cole rush them, you should stay back and shoot at them with your launchers. Your character has good accuracy scores.”
There was a flash of purple, and muffled shouting, and Nya froze. “There they are! Let’s get them, guys!”
The three plunged into the fight, and although it was a tough battle, their opponents were relatively low on health, and they ended up eliminating the two CrownViolets- unfortunately, with the loss of Nya before doing so.
“It’s just the two of us left, Pixal,” Cole said, “but there’s also only two of them, as well. We can do this. Just stick close to me. They’re around here somewhere.”
“And that somewhere is here!” Pixal shrieked suddenly, whirling around.
Cole’s eyes widened. “One of their teammates must’ve sent out a distress signal before they died!” He grappled for his weapon, but in his haste, his grip was sloppy.
Pixal, however, barely hesitated, diving at their opponent and attacking in a flurry of blows. Jay’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head as she performed a complex combo it had taken him a full day to learn.
Zane smiled at all their gaping mouths. “I told you to have faith in her.”
Cole was evidently shocked too, and within a few moments, he was dead- although not before delivering a nearly fatal blow to his opponent. Pixal quickly finished him off before turning to face the last remaining player.
“Be careful, Pix,” Jay warned. “She still has pretty high health. Don’t get cocky, or take dumb risks.”
“Dumb risks are your thing,” Pixal corrected, not even batting an eye as she darted past her opponent, slashing her with her sword.
The CrownViolet wasn’t giving up, though. She pushed back, throwing down a smoke bomb and suddenly pushing Pixal down from behind. Pixal rolled out of the way, missing her sword by inches, and sprung up, taking the moment of surprise to her advantage to knock her opponent down. As the rival started crawling away, Pixal’s character took a potion, powering up a special move. The opponent knocked her down as she was waiting to power up, but before she could get a good attack in, Pixal was ready and was blasting her a beam of light.
The girl’s avatar fell to the ground, dead.
There was a beat of silence, then their living room erupted in cheers.
“Pixal! You did it! You won the game for us!”
“I can’t believe it! We actually won! Without Kai!”
“Hey,” Kai yelped. “That didn’t sound like it was meant to be a compliment.”
“What do you mean,” Lloyd said. “That was totally a super nice thing I just said about you.”
Kai narrowed his eyes. “A bit backhanded, don’t you think?”
“Guys, none of that is important!” Cole cried. “We won! Out of all the gamers in the city! We actually won!”
“But I have to know,” Jay insisted. “How did you get so good at the game?”
Pixal shrugged. “I guess you pick up a thing or two watching your team play a game obsessively for the past week.”
Jay blinked. “You’ve been watching us?”
She scowled. “I’ve been doing the chores in here, lightning brain! Repairs, laundry, picking up after you- you’ve just been too obsessed by your game to even notice me!”
“Oh, really? Uh, that’s my bad…”
“Speaking of which, you promised to do my chores, and I’m looking forward to a nice, relaxing evening off.”
“Did I?” Jay laughed nervously. “Hey, did I ever mention that the tournament winners get a cash prize-”
Pixal handed him a mop. “Nice try. Although I still expect my fair share of the earnings by the end of the week. Good luck.” The ninja just gazed at her in horror, and she laughed.
“You’re going to need it.”

All of the ninja’s parents in one room talking about how great their kids are but they also throw in some of the embarrassing moments of their childhood. The adults (parents subdued) are laughing while Cole, Kai, Anya, Jay, Lloyd, and Zane are just like “please stop. I beg of you, please stop.”
I raise you: the ninja being able to laugh at themselves.
They’ve been through a lot and a lot has happened, so when their parents start breaking out embarrassing pre-teen stories they get a little embarrassed but also laugh with each other, nudge the other with their elbow “dude, I can’t believe you did that,” “oh you’re one to talk--” and it’s just a night full of laughter and light teasing, but mostly just a warm atmosphere that makes everyone there feel at home.
(And maybe also some crying because there are super soft moments when the parents look at the kids like they’re their whole world and tell them how proud they are and how much they love them and, come on, how can you keep it together hearing that--?)
The parents tell of embarrassing moments, the ninja tell about a whole lot more because, come on, dude, they’re a bunch of teen’s living on a ship in the sky, the amount of stupid stuff they’ve done when not saving the world is ridiculous, and you bet they’re gonna be sharing the story of the time Kai thought it would be a good idea to dry his clothing with his elemental power and ended up lighting his shirts on fire; and the time Jay tried to charge his phone and ended up making it explode instead; and literally any one of the hundreds of pranks Lloyd pulled before and after getting doused with Tomorrow’s tea; and the time Cole made his chilli, which melted the wooden spoon he’d been using to stir it (they still don’t know what he put in there to make it do that, and no one is really brave enough to find out klsdfad); and the time Zane blew up the microwave; and the time Nya tried to speed up the dishwasher with her powers and ended up making a pipe burst and turn the kitchen into a lake-- By the time they’ve gotten through a story each their parents are just impressed their even alive at this point and haven’t died from dumb skskdlfmaweofi
But really, they’re disasters who love each other, and love to laugh with each other about dumb stuff they’ve done, and you can’t convince me otherwise
(Also, they maybe laugh at an experience that they realize half-way through isn’t as funny as they’re imaging and is actually just traumatic and their parents are SO CONCERNED and everybody get’s therapy YAY ASLKDFMAWOEIF)
