what do you think the dynamics of shuro and his retainers would be in the brisbane au? are they basically a mix of interns and maids at shuro's dad's? some kind of generational role thing?
AUGH ITS TOUGH like. the nakamotos in canon are a lineage of spies who train other spies to collect info for their local lord. which isnt really a job that exists in real life anymore LOL
based on that toshiros dad definitely works for government but not IN government, in some kind of high-visibility position which uhhh ill be honest my knowledge of local gov is being stretched a little thin here SDFJHSDFJH ill have to do more research at some point. i could handwave a bit and just have the nakamotos based in sydney since lets be honest brisbane is not a place where famous people live
for the ninjas i think either interns or some kind of bodyguard detail? WAIRT I JUST REMEMBERED THAT WAS THE IDEA I HAD THEYRE SECURITY PERSONNEL okok. holy shit this post is all over the place im so sorry i cant be fucked to rewrite it though

(Way more than) Seven Sentence Sunday
Tumblr media
Thanks for the tags @jesuisici33 @daffi-990 @diazsdimples @tizniz @spotsandsocks @wikiangela @fortheloveofbuddie @wildlife4life @indestructibleheart @steadfastsaturnsrings @elvensorceress @honestlydarkprincess @spaceprincessem I haven’t gotten to all of your snippets but I will and already know they’re amazing and everyone should check them out 💖
Mirrorball (aka pole dancer Buck) won the poll yesterday so here are some sentences from that (prev snippet here) Unsurprisingly, he is producing as many feels (if not more) as I expected. So, uh, sorry about that (but also not sorry at all).
The pole – warmed by the house lights, previous performers, and heat from the three hundred something bodies legally allowed by the fire marshal – presses through his black mesh shirt, around the vegan leather chest harness, finally grazing his spine. He applies more pressure, allowing it to bear more of his weight, raising his arms and caressing the brushed stainless steel like a lover. A gentle touch he’s never experienced but aches with longing for anyway.
Just after the first musical bridge, a series of twangy guitar riffs and soulful keyboard notes, a member of the bachelorette party – maid of honor according to her hot pink sash – approaches the stage. There’s a bit of a wobble to her gait, but she’s still holding her own as she confidently struts forward to offer some bills she not so subtly clenches in her teeth.
If Buck was interested in her, he would make a show of crawling on all fours and take the proffered cash between his lips. But he’s not, so he holds onto the pole as he swings around, dipping low to pluck it from her with his fingers, giving her a wink as he does.
It’s possible she’s familiar with his act because she pouts a bit at that, even as the rest of her group cheers and wolf whistles, tugging up her cutoff short shorts to further reveal the swell of her ass as she flounces back to her seat. As if she’s daring him to reconsider lest he miss out. And maybe he will, if the offer’s still there at the end of his shift and he’s feeling lonely enough.
Buck tucks the money into a hidden pocket between the waistband of his royal blue hotpants and his dance belt. The stuff is loaded with enough germs, he’s not particularly interested in having it touch his sweat beaded skin before redistributing it out in the world.
When he resumes his routine, letting his gaze drift to the back of the room, he works to quickly recover as his breath catches in his throat. Dark eyes suddenly look impossibly darker – hungry and possessive – as lips wrap around the mouth of a beer. It’s tilted back in such a way that they never break eye contact. Maybe it should scare Buck, make him consider asking Bosko or Williams from security to see him to his jeep. But, strangely, it doesn’t.
The opportunity to let that process or sink in passes when his music ends and he begins collecting stray cash that’s been tossed on stage. In the time it takes him to stand back up, and throw a flirty kiss to the audience, he realizes the back table is empty save for a bottle and a chair sitting askew as if the occupant left in a hurry.

been thinking about the adult timeline, oot zelda went from being this pampered 9- or 10-year-old crown princess with servants and maids and a full royal guard and a giant house and so much food and clothing and safety and anything she could ever want, and suddenly this whole-ass child wakes up one night from a prophetic dream, her father doesn't listen, and suddenly she goes from having everything to nothing, her father's probably dead, the castle is no longer home, her one hope disappears, she and her one bodyguard hide away with the threat of being discovered around every corner, and everything has turned into her worst nightmare overnight.
And now she has to scrounge and steal and barter for food instead of having it handed to her, she has to dress herself with whatever they have on hand instead of having a maid do it, she has to sleep on rocks and in grass with nothing but her bodyguard's arms around her in some semblance of safety. She looks at everyone else doing the same and knows that it's her fault. She looks at impa trying to keep her safe, suddenly forcing her into Sheikah training for days on end and making her work herself to the bone for the first time since she was born, and she complains because she's a royal kid, but she knows that impa's training is going to keep her alive in this new hell she's created for herself.
She becomes Sheik, becomes him wholly and completely because he is quick and silent and smarter than she could ever be, and he won't make stupid mistakes and get his subjects killed because of it, and he is tough and unimportant and dedicated and, incredibly, more comfortable than Zelda ever had been. Sheik can stay alive and fight from the shadows and train for hours on end without dropping from exhaustion. He can survive and fix childish mistakes and help his subjects, though they will never know it's him. and then impa has to leave him for one of her many, many reconnaissance trips, but for once, neither of them are scared to leave the other because he won't get himself killed at the first sign of trouble. And she doesn't come back, but he doesn't fret, because she can take care of herself and he can trust her.
And he still worries, just a little bit.
And then he's seventeen, and it's been so long, but he scouts out castletown one more time, hiding from all of Ganon's eyes like second nature, when a flash of light catches his eye from the Temple of Time. So he sneaks over to the stained-glass window that looked down upon the Master Sword. But the Master Sword isn't in its pedestal: it's being held by a gangly teenager with a green tunic, a fairy, and a blue ocarina at his belt.
And maybe Sheik realizes he finally has a real chance to fix his mistake.
ANYway I'm just saying that child timeline Sheik probably had an easier learning curve for his ninja-assassin training

random hcs about what happens after Crystalized (mostly relationship-based) Garmadon goes back to Vinny (they aren't actually together yet because Vinny is still figuring out what the heck these feelings are for this annoying Oni roommate), they have to stay somewhere else cuz of the gaping hole in Vinny's apartment, but eventually they actually get together and are very much in love. Kai and Skylor get together and it's fine for a while, but eventually they realize that it's just not going to work between them. They break up, Skylor realizes she's a lesbian and Kai realizes he's been in love with Cole since literally forever. Lloyd visits Harumi in prison regularily, and they even try to sort of be like how they used to be. But when "how it used to be" was built on lies, it's hard to figure out how your relationship works. They decide to just be friends and as their trauma heals they grow more into a sibling dynamic (see, I can have my cake and eat it, too!). Jay and Nya FINALLY get married. It's a beautiful wedding. Nya does NOT wear a dress (she has wedding dress-related trauma, guys), Cole is Jay's best man, Pixal is Nya's Maid of Honor and during the Parent Dance Nya chooses to dance with her brother instead of her dad (Ray understands, Kai raised her WAY more than he did). Back to G and V, Lloyd finds out when they start dating and at first has conflicting emotions, but then he sees just how damn happy his dad is, and how much better of a man he has the potential to become. He starts hanging out with them and reconnecting with his father, and his new step-dad is trying his absolute darndest to get his step-son some professional help. Lloyd eventually goes to therapy and also gets a cat (they're easy to take care of, especially when you're going on ninja missions, and Lloyd has always been more comfortable talking about his feelings around animals. Very theraputic). Zane and Pixal are vibing. They've got their lovely daughter and are very happy. That is all.

I need sleep but I am thinking about Nya. Spending her teen years largely isolated bc the boys are a team and she's not there yet. Ignored and underestimated because Wu never thought to question his biases let alone teach his students to do the same. The support character. The babysitter. (All day every day therapist, mother, maid.)
But using every slight to her advantage.
Being ignored is all the better for secrets. Being deemed powerless makes it all the easier to hide the power you have. Staying behind leaves time to build and create. Being someone Lloyd looks up to from a young age means he will see her as strong even when the others don't.
She puts so much work and passion into everything she does. She builds her own strength.
And then to learn now the role she was originally denied is what she has to be, like her choice doesn't even matter. Never given a right to her own power because it didn't serve everyone else yet. She's an accessory until they need her to be more powerful for them. It's not fair.
But it's never been fair. So again she rises.
Most of all, I can't stop thinking about her in season 6. After all of this, an accomplished samurai without anyone else's support, and a ninja elemental master who gained her true potential at an incredibly accelerated pace, to go on interviews and get asked about her love life.
To see herself the target of tabloid magazines speculating her private emotions, to get left out of things still even though she has every right to be with the team, to get asked to teach girls how to do their makeup when she's a martial artist, elemental master, engineer, and pilot.
I just. Wish I could give her a hug at every phase of her life, and tell her she's strong enough. That the rest of her matters, not just her looks or her usefulness at the time. The way her storyline morphs from the narrative being against her to eventually supporting her is just,,, so important to me.
Yeah. Nya.

Sakamaki Brothers: During their younger days headcanons part 1 (Triplets meeting Shu and Reiji)
Part 2
•When the triplets were younger, Cordelia always talked about how they should never interact with Beatrix’s sons for the most ridiculous reasons imaginable.
•She would say they shouldn't even see them because Beatrix and her sons are nothing but competition, and they shouldn't care about seeing them. Or how they are not worth gracing their presence before Beatrix’s sons because they're better than them. All the while trash-talking about Beatrix.
•What a hypocrite Cordelia was, Laito would tell his brothers about how he saw their mother saunter over towards Beatrix and throw passive-aggressive comments about her and her sons. Not to mention she would throw a fit when she doesn't get the desired reaction from Beatrix.
•In hopes to avoid hearing their mother’s tantrums screaming around in the castle, the triplets just stayed outdoors when they want to play most of the time.
•Ayato was free from doing his extra studies, so the triplets enjoyed their time together the same way they always did when they were younger. Catching bats, reading, playing with Kanato’s toys, and trying to have a tea party. Not without making a mess of course.
•One day, they were quite tired after chasing bats all morning. Thus, their minds wandered to the older brothers they never got to see.
•They got immensely curious about their half-older brothers and what they would be like. Surprisingly, it was Laito who suggested that they would take a peek.
“Hey, aren't you curious about them? It wouldn't hurt to look?”
“What? Are you scared Ayato-kuun?” Laito would tease, poking Ayato’s sides
“Shut up! I'm not scared!!! Ore-sama is not scared!!”
“You’ll see, I'll be the first to see them!”
•The next thing you know, all three kids sprinted towards the castle in hopes to find their brothers there.
•They relied on Laito on where to go since he was the only one who has a vague idea of where the music room is.
•The reason why they headed to the music room was that Laito wanted to hear the violin in the music room. He was so curious about who was playing the violin and wanted to see them, but Cordelia always pulled him away before he could see anything other than the person’s back and their blonde hair.
•So, he made the connection that must be one of his brothers, specifically one of Beatrix’s.
•Kanato was not interested in seeing them but didn't want to be left alone when his two brothers will be out and exploring for an undetermined amount of time. Thus, he joined, holding Laito’s hand with his right and Teddy in the other.
•Kanato was rather scared at first when they explored the castle because he never saw any children other than him and his brothers. He was also scared of getting lost.
•Ayato thought it would be fun and always wanted to go on an adventure like the characters in the books he and his brothers read before.
•Ayato even had a silly idea and told his brothers to hide behind furniture and sneak around so the staff wouldn't see them as they approach the music room.
•Although the butlers and maids didn't mind that the triplets were there, they just led them to the music room where they can hear Bach on the violin. “As long as you stay quiet, as the young master is still playing,” the head butler said.
•Ayato was not happy that their sneaking around didn't work. He wanted to feel cool and impress Laito and Kanato. (I guess this is where Ayato’s ninja hyper fixation came from. Other than the fact he moved to Japan and saw Japanese culture)
•They never got to see Beatrix, so the triplets were rather shocked seeing Shu for the first time. He looks so different from them with his blonde hair, they never would have thought that they were related to him.
•On the other hand, Shu wanted to perfect a difficult part in this certain piece that he didn’t even notice that his little brothers were behind him. Watching him play the violin, plucking its strings, and reapplying rosin.
•It was the quietest that they have ever been. Not even a peep.
•Shu only noticed the three when he was finally done with his violin practice that he heard obnoxiously loud clapping, a small voice shushing, a little “eep”, and the rustling of fabric to find 3 little boys on the sofa.
•Then blue eyes met the triplets’ eyes whilst they scrambled around on the couch.
•Shu knows that he has younger brothers other than Reiji, but he never got to see them until now because of all the studying he must do as the firstborn son of the Vampire King and practicing the violin. So, this was quite a surprise.
•It was awkward for a while until Laito decided to speak up.
“How… did u do… that?” Laito asked, pointing at the violin with curiosity brimming in his eyes.
“…Hm, I don’t think you’re big enough for this yet…” Shu pondered out loud, lifting his violin from his neck.
•After putting his violin away, Shu then thought of a solution and held out his hand and pointed at the grand piano with the other hand.
“However, we could try to play that, the piano. Do you want me to teach you?”
•Laito was so excited he took Shu’s hand without hesitation, leaving Shu rather shocked at his enthusiasm.
•Then the triplets spent the entire afternoon together with Shu while he was trying to help Laito with how to play simple lullabies for children.
•Kanato would also ask Shu if he could play Scarborough Fair while he sings. Saying it’s his mother’s favorite and that singing that song makes him and Teddy happy too.
•Ayato would sit next to Laito and Shu trying to play the other piano keys out of boredom, only for Shu to stop him from doing so.
•Ayato would note that Shu’s calloused hands would slap him softly so as not to hurt him. It’s different compared to when his mother hits him… she was always smiling yet kept them an arm’s width away from him and his brothers.
•As for Laito, he had never been so happy in his life. His smaller softer hands are guided by Shu’s more calloused and slender hands, pressing against the piano keys, and making Kanato and Ayato smile in wonder as he’s creating music alongside Shu.
They’ll never know that that will be one of the last times they’ll see their eldest brother smiling so genuinely.
•Reiji was rather exasperated because of the unfamiliar voices ringing around the halls while he was still studying. He ended up searching for the source only to see his older brother with three other children he had never seen before. However, he found out who they were from Kanato’s purple hair and eyes and concluded that these three are Cordelia’s children.
•Ayato saw Reiji immediately and tugged on Shu’s sleeve and asked who the dark-haired boy was, why was he standing by the door, and why did he look so angry?
“That would be your second-eldest brother, Reiji,” Shu said “I’m afraid we interrupted him while he was in the library”
•After having a wonderful time with Shu and hearing about Reiji from him, the triplets were so excited to see Reiji and wanted him to play alongside them.
•Before Reiji could even answer the triplets, Beatrix had already arrived to call Shu for supper.
•Beatrix had to escort the triplets back and warned them not to make their mother angry. Of course, Beatrix has a good idea of what would happen if someone made Cordelia angry.
•Luckily Cordelia was in a good mood when they returned and nothing too bad happened.
•Cordelia was especially pleased when she heard Laito playing the piano. It is basically more bragging points that she can bring up to Beatrix.
•She’ll never know that the reason why Laito desired to play piano in the first place was because of Shu.
•When the triplets were getting ready for bed, they whispered amongst themselves that they will visit their other half-brothers again one day. When Ayato is not bound to his studies, that’s when the time is right.

I would also like to scream in your ear for your erasermic spooky month hcs, love all your erasermic stuff. Waiting until my days off to read the other 2 chaps of the one fic and then the new one,,,as a treat for suffering through Capitalism,,,,
Pulls out my files
They have a big black gothic house that's a mix of traditional and modern styles with bright pink curtains in the windows because Aizawa loves pink and every room is a different theme/vibe, it has three floors to it + a variety of secret rooms [if you've ever seen the Edith Finch game think that] just for funsies
They're somewhere in the Top 50 Richest Heroes list for Japan but neither of them mention it at all because they just don't care. This is how they manage to own about 15 cats [I also used to have 15 cats lol] and they employ a housekeeper called Rukiya
Rukiya is an ex-hitwoman who was sent to assassinate Nemuri but Nemuri liked her vibes so much they became besties. Officially Rukiya is "missing" but unofficially she's working for EraserMic as a housekeeper whenever they're away and lives with Nemuri
Rukiya dresses and acts like a maid but this is because she's committed to the Aesthetic™️
Their kitchen is filled with warm colours and tones and is the neatest looking room in the whole house
When Tensei was paralysed and would never walk again [Stain arc] they immediately set about modifying the house to be wheelchair friendly and completely accessible to him because Tensei likes staying over sometimes
Shinsou's room is a mix of naruto merchandise and real life animal skulls and fossils. All ethically found of course [re: he finds dead creatures and cleans them up before taking them home. Some of these dead creatures have leaked into the other rooms and hallways oopsies]
Eri has the brightest room because she loves bright colours and it's very hilariously jarring to go through this House Of Horrors only to open her door and get blasted by unicorn quilt covers, pawprints painted on her walls and a fluffy rug in the shape of a smiling cartoon dog
If Tokoyami's edgy emo ass ever came to this house he would never want to leave
A slight smutty HC now: the first time Hizashi and Shouta had penetrative sex it was in a coffin in an undertaker's store because they were meant to be spying on someone and locked themselves in it to avoid being seen. They were, like, 18 at the time
Their bedroom is a mix of goth and punk aesthetics with splashes of colour. They have one bedside lamp and no other lights save the sun itself and this is because of Hizashi's light sensitivity
The bed is big enough to fit four people if you squish up because Nemuri and Tensei loved doing that. Now Shinsou and Eri sometimes join them in it if they have nightmares
Shinsou fucking loves halloween but he acts super cool and calm about it guys haha ignore all those outfits and decorations he just bought on impulse it's fine
Eri doesn't really get the full point of halloween she just likes dressing up
Because of what she went through with Overhaul, Eri is surprisingly unaffected by horror movies and will gladly watch even the goriest of them with her dad's without issue. Shinsou, however, is terrified of them and will crawl over the back of the sofa to get as far away from the screen as possible
Aizawa doesn't have any private rooms for himself but does do most of his work in the kitchen because it's closest to all the snacks. He's a chronic snacker which is why he drinks jelly pouches all the time [mood]
Hizashi, however, has two private rooms for himself: a studio room for all his recordings and radio related plans and then another soundproofed room where he can just blast loud music and scream or lay on the floor to feel the bass vibrations. Shinsou also uses this room a lot to de-stress. They have screaming sessions together
I said it in another post but I'll put it here again: the first time Eri attends school she ends up getting stalked in secret by Aizawa and Shinsou, full ninja-like, and Hizashi judges them for it right up until they find him disguised as one of the school staff so he can also keep an eye on her. Eri is oblivious to this
A lot of Eri's classmates are convinced her family are in the yakuza because of how scary and intimidating they look. It's the sleep deprivation and long work hours
People think Present Mic is a purely daytime hero but this is false! Mic is called on a lot by the Underground Heroes to sneak into places in various disguises to get information because he's just one of those guys who can fit in anywhere and is a great actor
Shinsou is a terrible actor because he's not good at on-the-spot improv which has led to some very funny situations for him
This family's idea of fun is to terrorise everyone around them for kicks. You're in a deep dark tunnel with no lights? Well guess what they're gonna jumpscare you and/or make spooky noises that echo everywhere just to watch you shit yourself
Eri moves so quickly and quietly people think the UA dorms are haunted by a ghost
Eri's the only person to have ever successfully snuck up on Bakugou and scared the shit out of him in the kitchens. Shinsou was wheezing to death about it for days afterwards
Had to come back in to add one I forgot about: Aizawa is a borderline yandere for his family and that is canon To Me. I will expand on this eventually
And that's all the ones I can think of at the moment! And HELL YEAH LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR A+ COMMENTS AS ALWAYS! I'm taking a break from writing for a while so there's time to catch up also I am rooting for you to get through capitalist hell retail sucks

what if the rest of the lucina gang got sent to hoshido/nohr
Oh, bby girl you can't enable me like this...
Okay so, for balancing reasons you'd have to split the kids 50/50 so we need both Morgan's and some starting classes would have to be changed.
Hoshido
F!Morgan - Deviner/Skyknight
M!Morgan - Samurai/Sorcerer
Cynthia - Skyknight/Cavalier
Noire - Archer/Deviner
Kjelle - Spear master/Knight
Brady - Monk/Trubadour
Yarne - Apothecary/Taguel
F!Morgan gets deviner and M!Morgan gets Samurai because in their offical art M!Morgan was holding a sword and F!Morgan is holding a tome. Kjelle get's spear master because she starts with spears. I don't know why I chose Apothecary for Yarne, it just felt right. F!Morgan having Skyknight as her Heart Seal class is based on her heroes class being dark flier. Noire having deviner is in reference to her mother's class, deviner and not sorcerer because she's stated to be unskilled at dark magic. Yarne gets his base Taguel class back by heart sealing into it.
Nohr
Laurent - Sorcerer/Apothecary
Lucina - Mercenary/Spear master
Gerome - Wyvern rider/Ninja
Nah - Wyvern rider/Manakete
Inigo - Mercenary/Ninja
Severa - Mercenary/Skyknight
Owain - Sorcerer/Samurai
Nah gets wyvern rider because she's a dragon and I think that woulds be funny. Also I think Laurent should be able to wear the slutty sorcerer fit, I think it would be funny. Mercenary is the only Nohrian class that starts with swords so that's what Lucina gets she ger spear master because lords get lances on promote in Awakening. I feel like Ninja fits Gerome personality wise.
I think only the original trio would be retainers to the royals everyone else would be doing something different. I think the Morgan's would be Azura's equivalent of Flora/Felicia. Twins who serve as Azura's maids/bodyguards which would also make them neutral units. Cynthia would be a Skyknight stationed at the capital. I can see her being an early recruit in Birthright, like she joins you when you first leave the capital. I think Noire and Kjelle would all also be early game recruits while Yarne and Brady would be mid game recruits.
I actually think Nah and Gerome would be Neutral units serving in Cheve. They get auto recruited in birthright/revelations but need to be recruited in conquest by having one of the Awakening kids talk to them. It would be on the same map where you get Charlotte and Benny. It would also give the Awakening units two neutral units per nation. Laurent would join you after one of Corrin's returns to Krakenburg, best time I think would be when they get sent to the rainbow sage. Lucina I can also see being recruited durring the seven fold sanctuary map, perhaps having been sent a head by Xander.
This would also give five more child units for the male characters.
M!Morgan's child would have to have their own version of "Time to tip the scales!" and "Time to even the odds!" I think their gimmick would be remembering what happened in Heir's of Fate and have the starting class of ninja.
Yarne I can see having a child unit that's the complete oppisite of him, bold and reckless who gives him no end of heart attacks. staring class of Oni Savage
Laurent's child unit would be a detective, trying to solve mysteries like Miriel but rather then being a scientist they do dective work. The best starting class for that would be outlaw with Ninja for a heart seal class.
Brady's child unit would be a 'Sukeban' a sterotypical japanese female deliquent. But one who's quite skilled at the more 'high class' activities. Basically Brady but with the Japanese aesthetic and cultural influences because she'd be a Hoshiden unit
Gerome, child unit who has a wyvern named Maria. I think they would have conflict with Gerome baced on being in the deep realm. "I'd rather see you less often as you grew up rather than be stories for you to hear." vs. "I would have been satisfied with stories of you if it meant not being alone." A follow on from "I didn't want heroes I wanted my parents."
I also think they would have a mechanic where if you fight one of the Awakening kids with another they won't defeat each other but will leave each other at 1hp/they will miss any attack that would defeat them.
Oh and Noire would defiantly be able to S support Hayato and have unique dialogue with Rahjat

autonomous. | lloyd x reader | chapter iv
“To my father and his incredible power, to my pupils for successfully unlocking what secrets the Temple of Light holds, and to our newest member of the team for aiding in Lloyd’s safe return,” Sensei Wu says as everyone sits quietly around the table, ravenously eyeing the feast in sight. “May we thank my father for the guidance he provides us even beyond the grave. Our war has yet to be waged, but each day we grow stronger. To the good fight.”  
You glance around in awe as the ninja speak words of agreement before digging into their meals. In all honesty, you’re just astounded that this much food is normal for people in the city! Even so, the tools that the ninja are using to eat are unknown to you. You study the tool carefully and attempt to observe how the ninja are using them. But...they’re eating so fast that their hands are a blur!  
You’re snapped out of your thoughts when Lloyd gently nudges your bicep with his elbow. “What’s up?”
“What…are you using to eat?” you wonder, studying the tools intently. There are two variants available at either side of your plate. “I’ve never seen anything like them.”  
“It’s a dinglehopper,” Kai interrupts, causing Cole to hit him. “Ow!”  
“A dinglehopper?” you repeat, holding up the object and staring at it. What a bizarre name.  
“It’s actually called a fork,” Cole corrects, rolling his eyes. “Kai just won’t admit he has an obsession with princess movies.”   
“Do not!”  
“Yeah right. Who else slips in a reference from The Little Mermaid so easily?” Jay retorts.   
“Shut up! You guys obviously got the reference too!”   
“A fork?” you wonder. “And what’s a...mer-maid?”  
Lloyd chuckles lightly. “Okay, so you use forks to pick up foods that aren’t convenient to touch. You know, if something is sticky or wet. Just so your hands don’t get dirty. It’s also more sanitary than eating with your hands. And a mermaid is a mythological creature – half fish, half human. They’re referring to a mermaid that’s in an animated movie.”   
“Movies? And what does animate mean?”   
“Man, you really live under a rock, don’t you?” Jay states.  
“I do not,” you say, frowning in confusion as you stare at the redhead for clarification.  
“That’s not…” Jay sighs. “Never mind. We have a lot to teach you.”   
Zane offers you a patient smile, taking a moment to elaborate: “But to answer your question, a movie is a story or event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in a theater or on television. Also known as a motion picture or film."  
“Moving pictures that tell stories?” you wonder, trying to visualize what that looks like.  
Lloyd nods as he takes another bite. “Yep. There are tons of them too.”   
“Wow…”  
“Make sure to eat, dear. You’ll need your strength,” Misako reminds gently with a motherly smile.  
“Here, hold your fork like this,” Lloyd says, holding out the utensil in his hand. You study the way his fingers are wrapped around the item, doing your best to mimic it. Your fingers get crisscrossed in the process, though, causing you to frown.   
Lloyd laughs lightly, green eyes sparkling as he sets his fork down. “Here.”   
He gently grabs your wrist, taking a moment to reposition your fingers until they’re correct. You feel your cheeks warming at the close contact.   
“There, like that. Try it.”   
“Okay. Do I just…?”   
“Gently stab your food. Like this.” You watch in fascination as he spears a piece of food with his fork.   
“I don’t understand how we didn’t have anything like this back at camp,” you say, testing the fork out for yourself. “It’s such a simple idea but works so effectively!”   
The others chuckle as you admire the usefulness of the fork while finishing the small portion on your plate. What a useful object!   
“May I ask what it is that you made?” you ask, directing the question to Zane. “This is so much better than condensed evil! And the only other foods I’ve had have come from the island in one form or another.”   
“I’m sorry, one second, let’s back up…condensed what?” Jay interrupts with a confused glance.   
“Condensed evil. Remember when Garmadon had to stay with us? That black stuff he was eating? That’s what condensed evil is,” Cole explains.   
“Supposedly, it’s low in fat,” Kai adds between bites.   
“I prepared a grilled chicken paired with roast veggies and rolls,” Zane answers. “I hope it is to your liking.”   
“It very much is! It all tastes so divine!”   
“I am glad to hear it,” Zane replies with a smile. “Please help yourself to seconds if you so desire.”   
“Seconds?”   
“And thirds. Fourths and fifths if you want,” Cole adds, happily munching on a vegetable. “Hell, I might even go for sixths tonight.”   
“Seconds is another way of saying another plate of food,” Nya interjects, rolling her eyes at Cole. “And trust me when I say that average people do not eat as much as these idiots do. Hungry teenage guys are one thing, but hungry teenage guys that happen to train as ninjas? It’s a whole lot worse.”   
“Another plate?” you wonder, looking back towards Zane for another answer.   
“Of course. I always prepare enough for everyone to eat their fill. Considering everyone trains heavily, it is vital that everyone eats nutritiously so that we may perform our best.”   
“Wow…” Not only would you be able to savor all of the different foods offered in Ninjago, but you’d also be able to eat as much as you see fit rather than how much your father told you to eat!   
With that in mind, you help yourself to a bit more food, missing how the ninja are glancing at each other.   
Dinner – as you had learned it was called – passed by relatively quickly after that. During the remaining time, the ninja informed you that the fork was not the only utensil utilized for eating: spoons and knives exist too for scooping and cutting purposes! Even wilder, Jay also told you that people even use combinations of utensils too, like sporks! That way, you can both stab and scoop food! It’s simply ingenious!   
Now, you’re following Nya to her room, where you’re to stay for the time being.   
“Well, this is it,” Nya says as she pushes the door to her room open.   
“Whoa…this is all yours?” you ask, taking a step inside her room when she goes in.   
“All mine,” she confirms as she walks behind a giant, foldable screen. You take the opportunity to have a look around. There are containers of varying sizes, weapons, armor, more items you don’t recognize...   
You observe as she slings her gi over the top, emerging in a different outfit soon after.   
“I guess you don’t have any spare clothes on hand,” Nya states. “In that case, you can just borrow some stuff from us. If you want, I’ll scrounge up some stuff we don’t really wear that often before you shower.”   
“What is a shower?”   
“Here, I’ll show you.” Nya gestures for you to follow her, so you do. She leads you out in the hallway, where she opens another nearby door. “This is the bathroom, reserved for the girls only.”   
You nod, listening as she explains the various aspects that make up a functioning bathroom. She shows you how to operate everything too, leaving you baffled at what humanity has created to make everyday living easier. Not only that, but people from Ninjago even have specialized cleaning products that differ for hair and body! You can’t help but stare at the different bottles, listening as Nya explains each one.  
“Hang tight for a second, I’m going to go see if I can find you a change of clothes,” Nya says, stepping out of the bathroom.   
Her absence gives you a moment to yourself. After all that has happened today, it’s a welcome change.  
You set the bottle back on the ledge of the tub, quieting down as you take a deep breath. Are these really going to be your last few days on the island? Even though you’re looking forward to what the future holds, it’s still a huge transformation. You know that it’s going to take some adjusting.  
But what if people find you annoying?  
You swallow nervously, taking a moment to look at your reflection. Nya explained that it was called a mirror. You find that looking at yourself this clearly is off-putting. Sure, you’d seen your reflection a few times before - like in the rippling surface of water, or on a glass shard. But never this clearly. It’s strange.  
You avert your gaze to the floor. What will come of this new lifestyle, though? Will it be for the better? And how would your newfound power affect you in the end – will you prevail, or cave to the darkness?   
Your string of questions is interrupted when the door opens again, revealing Nya bearing a stack of folded clothes.   
“Here you go, these should do for the night. When we get back home, after everything blows over, we can go shopping to get you your own wardrobe and anything else you might need.”   
“Shopping?”   
She chuckles, setting the clothes on the counter. “I’ll explain later. Take your time in here, and if you need me, I’ll be right outside. Just yell at me.”   
You nod. “Thank you, Nya.”   
“Of course.”  
…   
The hot water of the shower reminded you of the hot springs you used to bathe in. Would you always have access to a shower now? You shake off the question as you dry yourself, gaze falling on the set of clothes Nya gave you.    
You reach for the article on top, taking a moment to unfold it. It’s…a thick long sleeve shirt with a hood sewn on it, and it’s green – similar to the shade of Lloyd’s eyes. On the front reads the words:   
green bean  
Underneath the phrase is a picture of a green bean with a cute face. After taking a moment to wonder why it has a face, you shrug it on. It’s much different than what you’re used to, but it’s warm and comfy. Next up come the pants, which are simply black and soft. You feel like you might just fall asleep in such a comfy outfit. How can fabric even be this soft?  
Once you’re finished in the bathroom, you step out, gi in hand as you walk into Nya’s room, setting your gi down on her dresser as she told you to do. Then, you start to wonder what to do next.   
“Settling in well?”   
You jump in surprise, turning to face the source of the voice. Lloyd stands there, still dressed in his gi.   
“Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you,” he replies as you walk over to him.   
“Oh, it’s okay,” you say, smiling softly.  
He returns the smile, gaze slipping to your shirt. “Hey, you chose my hoodie?”    
“Hood-ie? Is that what this article is called?”   
“Sure is. It…uh, suits you,” he compliments with a nervous chuckle.   
“Really?”   
Lloyd nods in response. “By the way, I meant to ask… Are you doing okay? Today must have been a lot for you, and I know my team can be kind of overwhelming.”  
“I’m feeling better now, but yeah…it’s just going to take me some time to process that…this is my new life.”   
“I know the feeling. It’s not easy, but I think you’ve been doing well.”   
“Really?”   
“I do.”  
“Thank you,” you say.  
“The others will come around soon enough,” Lloyd replies. “Just don’t take anything rude they might say to heart.”  
You shrug in response, fiddling with your fingers as you turn to glance at the wall. “It’s okay. I understand their apprehension.”  
Lloyd sighs, setting a hand on your shoulder. “But I can tell you really want to do good now. Anyways, you should get some rest. My mom might have found a new lead for us to investigate tomorrow, so you should sleep while you can.”  
You nod, realizing that exhaustion had been lured out of hiding by the hot water of the shower. “Are you going to rest too?”  
“Yeah, they’re making me take the night off from watch duty. Again,” he answers irritably as the two of you start in the direction of Nya’s room.  
“Well, make sure you sleep,” you say.  
“I will, I will. I just wish I could help out more. I feel like I’ve just been sitting around...”  
You flop onto the...ah, what had Nya called it? Something with air. Oh! An air mattress! You sit up, facing Lloyd with a soft smile.  
“You haven’t been just sitting around,” you reply. “You’ve been helping out too!”  
Lloyd shakes his head, chuckling as he comes to a realization. “Oh, if you give me a second, I can get you a pillow. And a blanket, too.”  
You yawn as Lloyd goes to retrieve whatever he was talking about. You can’t really remember what he said, because you find a sudden wave of exhaustion overpowering you as your head hits the bare mattress, eyes closing. Before you’re able to ask Lloyd what a pillow is, you fall asleep.  
“Here, these should...” Lloyd quiets down as he spots you already asleep. “Oh.”  
He chuckles, going to drape the fleece Starfarer blanket over your figure before gently setting your head on the pillow. Man, what even were you sleeping on beforehand that made you fall asleep so quickly on an air mattress? Lloyd had to use it a few times in the past, and he always found that he had difficulty falling asleep on it.   
“Goodnight,” he mumbles, turning the lights off before exiting the room.  
…    
“Order up: coconut cream pie, served well done!” Kai yells as he shoots a beam of fire at an airborne coconut.   
You chuckle lightly as the ninja experiment with their newfound powers, deciding to head back to where the others are.  
This morning had been strange. You had awoken with a soft, large, and rectangular piece of fabric covering you, and with a cushion underneath your head. You don’t remember going to sleep with those!  
Nya told you that they were respectively a blanket and a pillow, and had explained their functions to you. You’re honestly shocked that the people of Ninjago are able to pull themselves away from such intoxicating caterers of comfiness every waking morning! It was a challenge to get up with how utterly comfortable and warm you were.  
But it wasn’t all bad. Mostly because Zane had made a fantastic breakfast for everyone. You learned that humans typically ate three times per day – which, once more, you found absolutely awesome – and ate your fill. Then, you went to observe the ninja as they messed with their new blades.  
Yeah, you might have accidentally cut a few trees down with your cool new corruption blade. And maybe you had destroyed a few coconuts that Jay threw at you.  
But it’s fine.  
Your thoughts return to the present after you make your way to where the Bounty rests, spotting Lloyd standing next to Dr. Julien as he tinkers with a mechanical bird. The blond turns to you, smiling at you in silent welcome as you peer over his shoulder.  
“Every cog, every gear is important. If one piece is missing, or out of place, the invention won’t work,” Dr. Julien explains as he closes the falcon’s panel. “Come now, little one. Time to fly.”   
You observe in fascination as the bird takes off, flying over to where the ninja are. “Wow, you made that?”   
“I sure did,” replies the doctor as he sets his tool down, turning to face you and Lloyd.   
“That’s incredible,” you note, watching the falcon flying around in the distance. “It is so lifelike, and yet…you made that with your own hands.”   
Julien chuckles, gingerly putting his tools away. “Thank you, my dear. All it takes is a bit of thought and ingenuity.”   
The sound of a new pair of footsteps catches your attention. Sensei Wu steps down, staff in hand as he studies the three of you. “It is like you ninja. You each serve very important roles and are key parts to a magnificent fighting force.”   
“If we're all gears, what if I'm the gear that doesn't work? What if I don't do my part? What if I can't defeat my father?”  
“You are stronger than you know, Lloyd,” you reassure, setting a hand on his bicep as you catch his stare. “You will prevail, but you have to believe in yourself and those that fight alongside you.”   
Sensei Wu nods in agreement. “What if there are no more ‘what-ifs’? The Final Battle is almost upon us. When that time comes, we will know the answer to ‘what-ifs’ whether we like it or not.”    
“I know you don’t want to face your father, but there is no other choice,” Nya adds.    
“But perhaps there is,” Misako interrupts, carrying a scroll. “I used to think it was inevitable, but then I found this.”    
The sound of oncoming footsteps catches your attention. The ninja trek down the hill, all invested in Misako’s words.     
“You mean Lloyd doesn’t have to fight? This I gotta hear,” Cole comments.    
“The scrolls say that when the Helmet of Darkness is bequeathed to its rightful ruler, the Celestial Clock will count down to the activation of an unspeakable weapon - the first sign that the Final Battle between good and evil has begun.”    
“Did you just say ‘unspeakable weapon’?” Kai questions as you bite your lip.    
“Uh… I’m still stuck on what ‘bequeathed’ means.”    
“I think you’re right,” you say, swallowing when everyone’s eyes land on you. “I’ve seen the Celestial Clock, and I was there when Garmadon took the helmet. It rested on a little button, I think, and now knowing what you just told me…that is definitely a possibility.”    
“So, the helmet was on a pressure plate or something?” Nya questions. “Well, it’s worth a shot.”    
While you listen to their discussion about stopping the Final Battle, part of you starts wondering if this is really the right thing to do. Isn’t it Lloyd’s destiny to stop Garmadon and the Overlord? Why would they inhibit that? You understand that he and Garmadon are related, but Lloyd’s light has the potential to purify. He is destined to win, after all, even if the battle seems to be outmatched.    
“But if you succeed in putting it back, then what’s stopping any of the foes from simply taking it again?” you interrupt with a frown. “Even if the helmet does stop the clock, that does not sound like a doable permanent solution. I thought destiny designated Lloyd to vanquish my father from this land, not from delaying the Final Battle.”    
“You raise a good point,” Sensei Wu agrees. “And while we are not considering it as a permanent answer, we could use the additional time.”  
“Bequeathed, anyone? Is anybody gonna help me out with that?”   
“Uh, that sounds great and all, and I know we have our new powers, but you expect us to get past his whole army of Stone Warriors and pluck the helmet off his head?” Kai points out.    
“My brother’s right. They’re good, but they’re not that good.”    
Misako looks up from her scroll, expression hardening in resolve as she straightens her posture. “I know. And that is why I am going to do it. I'll just need a little help.”    
The ninja nod, going to listen to her plan. Lloyd tries to join them, but is stopped when Wu sets a hand on his shoulder.    
“I’m sorry, Lloyd. This mission isn’t for you.”    
“But I’m all powered up. I can help!”    
“We mustn’t let you and your father come face to face yet. We’re trying to prevent the Final Battle, not welcome it.”  
“Yes, Sensei,” Lloyd relents, averting his gaze as he sighs.  
“I should remain as well,” you note. “My father will be able to sense when I am near.”  
“The two of you need to save your strength,” Misako notes, the four ninja behind her as they suit up.  
“If you all are planning on disguising yourselves, I would recommend approaching their camp from the southern end. There is a small patrol unit that passes through the area, but there’s plenty of cover available so that you can stage an ambush on them and take their armor,” you advise, folding your arms as you watch them nod.  
“Got it. Thanks,” Cole says. “Are we ready, guys?”  
“I think so,” Kai replies before shooting a pointed glare at you. You shrink back, fidgeting as you look away. “Don’t let your guard down, Lloyd.”  
“Enough, Kai,” Wu states. “You all should get going.”  
“Come on, boys,” Misako chides as they begin hiking through the woods, the sounds of their chattering fading when they are far enough.  
“Ignore him,” Lloyd advises, turning towards you. “He can be a jerk sometimes.”  
“No, it is understandable why he would be wary of me,” you mumble, suddenly wondering if your bloodline would cause many others concern as well. Would that scare people away from you?  
“He will come around eventually. They all will,” Wu notes, stroking his beard softly. “Nya, you’ll be helping with the repairs for the Bounty. You two need to reserve your strength. We will notify you when the ninja have retrieved the helmet.”  
“I have the Earth Driller on standby,” Nya states. “Although, we may not have enough room for everyone.”  
“I can go on foot if needed,” you reply, waving her concerns off. “I know this island well.”  
“That makes sense. I feel like you’d know it by the back of your hand by now!” Lloyd states, tone lighthearted. Even so, you’re not entirely sure what the joke is. You frown, making a face as you inspect the back of your hand confusedly.  
Wu chuckles softly as he turns towards Dr. Julien, Nya giggling at you as well.  
“What is so funny?” you wonder, turning towards Lloyd for help.  
“It’s a...uh, an expression,” he notes, seemingly fumbling for words.  
“We have expressed many things,” you argue, still lost.  
“Well, you know...like, you see the back of your hand so much that you’d probably know it by heart, now, right? Just like how you’ve been here and probably know the ins and outs of this place.”  
“Oh! I see! So, you’re comparing my knowledge of this island to how well I know the back of my hand!”  
“Exactly,” Lloyd replies.  
“I get it!” you cheer.  
“And that’s only the beginning of what you’ll learn,” Wu says, offering you a small smile.  
“I can’t wait!” you say.   
 “Anyway, we’ll have the Earth Driller ready for whenever they get the helmet,” Nya states. “So, if you two want to hang out inside, you can tell us when the falcon’s signal comes through on the monitor. We at least have that fixed.”  
“Sure thing,” Lloyd replies before grabbing your hand. “Come on!”  
“What? Where are we going?”  
“I’m going to show you something,” Lloyd adds.  
You perk up slightly, curiosity eating away at you as he guides you through the ship. Eventually, the two of you stop at a room you’ve not been in yet. “What is this room?”   
“It’s our living room. This is where we relax and take breaks,” he answers, sitting down on the couch. You look around at all the strange objects scattered about the area, wondering what their functions are. “Hey, since we have to lay low until we hear back from the falcon, wanna watch a movie?”   
“Really?!”  
“Yeah! Though, I’ll have to make us some popcorn and hot chocolate. This is your first movie so we’ve gotta do it right.”  
Your mind races with questions, wondering what he’s talking about as you follow him to the kitchen. He opens a cabinet, pulling out an object.  
“See this? This is a bag of popcorn. This clear stuff surrounding the bag is just plastic wrap. That’s so the bag is sealed until use.”  
You nod, studying him intently as you take in every detail that you can. Lloyd then tears the plastic off, throwing it away. “Now, this is how we make popcorn. You make sure it’s on the right side – you’ll know it’s on the right side because it’s labelled. Then, you just plop it in the microwave for about two, three minutes. Depends on what brand it is.” He places the bag in the microwave. “Wanna push the buttons?”   
“Yes, please!” you reply, stepping in front of the blond. “Two minutes?”   
“Yep.”  
You study the buttons on the machine, finger going to press down on what you hope to be the correct ones. “Like that?”   
“Good, now push the one that has the little sideways triangle on it.”   
You oblige, grinning when the device lights up and makes the popcorn inside start spinning. “Whoa!”   
“That’s not even the best part,” Lloyd adds as he looks down at you. “Listen for a few seconds.”   
You fall quiet, expression fading as you hold Lloyd’s expectant gaze, studying his vibrant green eyes. You’re about to ask him what you should be listening for, when suddenly…   
Pop!   
You gasp, whirling to face the microwave. “It popped!”  
“Yeah!”   
“Wait…so that’s why it’s called popcorn?!” you ask, watching as the bag starts to inflate as the popping sound intensifies. You can’t help but giggle at the sound. “That’s so funny!”  
“Yeah, that’s why,” he says, chuckling. “Hey, while that’s running, I’ll show you how to make hot chocolate.”  
“Okay!”  
“All we have is powdered hot chocolate. It’ll do in a pinch, but personally, I think my mom’s hot chocolate is the best.”  
“How does your mom make it?”  
“She uses real chocolate, and sometimes flavoring too – like peppermint or gingerbread. But I don’t think we have any actual chocolate on hand right now. We always keep instant packets stocked, though.”  
“I see,” you reply with a nod. Maybe you would be able to try Misako’s hot chocolate too one day!  
“So, all we have to do for these is warm up the milk. The milk is in here, the fridge. This just keeps stuff cold.” He pulls something out from the fridge, setting the object on the counter. “By the way, we call these milk gallons. Or jugs. Either works.”  
You nod, observing him as you make mental notes of what he’s saying. “Jay made us our own milk warmer. I just measure out the milk in the mugs before I pour it in so I make just enough but don’t waste any.”  
“Got it!”  
“So after it’s measured, we pour it in, and then...we press this button right here,” Lloyd states, pushing a small button located on the front of the warmer. “And we just wait until it’s done.”  
“And then you have hot milk?”  
“Yep! And now, I just prepare the mugs by dumping the powder in.”  
You peer into the mug, watching as Lloyd dumps all of the powder in. You notice tiny white squares present. “What are those white things?”  
“Marshmallows,” he notes. “They’re soft, fluffy, and sweet.”  
“Oh...” you mumble. “Interesting.”  
Then, a shrill beep startles you, causing you to jump slightly as you glance around.  
“Relax, it’s just the microwave,” Lloyd replies. “That means that it’s done.”  
“Oh,” you mumble, watching as Lloyd transfers the popcorn from the bag to a big bowl. Then, the milk warming machine beeps.  
“Now, we mix this with the powder,” Lloyd says, doing just that.  
“It smells fantastic,” you note, spotting the little marshmallows rising to the top. “The popcorn too!”  
“I know, right? Nothing beats this combo for a movie. Well, maybe adding other snacks too. But this will do for now.” He picks up the mugs. “I’ll get these if you’ll bring the bowl.”   
You nod, carrying the bowl as the two of you head back to the living room. “Hey, Lloyd?”   
“What’s up?” he answers as he sets the mugs on the small table in front of the couch.    
“Do I…ask too many questions?”   
“Of course you don’t,” he replies as he sits down. “There’s no such thing as too many questions in my books anyway.”   
“Really?”   
“Really. You have a right to learn about the world around you – everyone does. So...we’ll do our best to teach you.”   
You grin, sitting down next to him. “Thank you.”   
“No problem. Now, since it’s your first movie, you get to pick which one we watch…”   
“Oh, stars...” you trail off, feeling somewhat overwhelmed as Lloyd gestures to the massive stack of cases that they have. “How am I supposed to pick?!”  
“Which one looks interesting to you?”  
You survey the mass of discs, asking about the varying titles before selecting one and sitting back. The popcorn bowl is situated on Lloyd’s left thigh, which is pressed lightly against your right thigh. Lloyd answers all of the questions you ask about the movie’s story and characters too.  
While you do, you savor the new treats you’ve been given. The hot chocolate warms you up in a way that you’ve never felt before, chocolate blending together with the fluffy marshmallows to create a brand-new flavor experience. Paired with the contrasting saltiness of the popcorn, the combination only amplifies your thirst to learn more about what else Ninjago has to offer.  
While watching the movie and snacking on popcorn and hot cocoa, you realize just how foreign this is to you. Watching moving pictures while snacking on treats with the Green Ninja? You shudder upon realizing what your father would do should you fall into his hands again.  
“Hey, what’s wrong?”  
You blink, finding that pictures on the screen have frozen as Lloyd turns to you slowly, emerald eyes seeping with concern. “What?”  
“You’re crying,” he states. “Why?”  
“I...” you brush your cheek with your fingers, feeling the wetness that lingers on them as embarrassment courses through you. You’ve really ruined the moment now, haven’t you? “I’m sorry. It’s nothing. Please, continue.”  
“No, you’re upset!” he says. “What is it?”  
You stare at Lloyd for a few moments, finding yourself somewhat bewildered. Your father would have punished you for showing this kind of weakness. Yet, here Lloyd is, gently asking you why you’re upset. Being concerned about what could have caused your tears rather than shaming you for allowing them to flow in the first place.  
Lloyd says your name softly, taking one of your hands in his. “Hey...if you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine. I mean...after all, we haven’t even known each other that long. But I just want you to know that you can talk to me if you want to. If there’s anything that’s upsetting you, or anything I said...just let me know.”  
Father told you that no one would care about your feelings – that ultimately, they are worthless and should not be paid any attention. And yet...here is Lloyd, encouraging you to explain why you’re upset.  
In other words, you’ve only been with the ninja for less than two whole days and yet you already feel more comfortable around them.  
“I’m sorry, it’s just...” you glance away from him, suddenly finding his stare too intense for you to handle. “It just occurred to me that my father will likely kill me if I’m ever to return.”  
“We’re not going to let that happen,” he replies, voice low. “You’re with us now. We’re gonna defeat him.”  
“My father cannot be defeated. Not permanently, anyway. Even if you do succeed here, he will find a way to return. He will kill me. He will escape and find a new champion. And he will not rest until Ninjago is his.”  
“No. You can’t think like that,” Lloyd states. “We’re going to win. It’s not going to be easy, but we’re going to win. And then, we can show you all kinds of stuff!”  
“I hope so,” you mumble.  
“Besides,” Lloyd chuckles. “I find it comforting that I’m not the only one who’s going to be fighting their evil dad.”  
For some reason, that makes you laugh. Lloyd laughs with you, setting the bowl of popcorn to the side as he takes one of your hands in his.  
“But...seriously. We’re gonna get you off of this island, and we’ll show you what life really has to offer.”  
“I can’t wait,” you mumble, grinning happily as you take another sip of your hot cocoa. “Thank you, Lloyd.”  
“Of course,” he replies, leaning back as he returns the popcorn bucket back to its spot.  
Lloyd is right. Your father’s reign of terror will come to an end soon, and he will no longer hold any control over you. Freedom is well within your grasp, even though it’s going to take one last push to gain it.  
With that thought in mind, you find yourself relaxing once more, finishing the movie with Lloyd as the two of you wait for the signal.

Yuna Genshin OC Redesign
Yuna's redesign is finally finished! Had this in my drafts since April but I couldn’t work on it due to the power being out for a few months. Even now that everything is almost back to normal, we still have some issues that needs to be taken care of from Typhoon Mawar.
❌ NO REPOSTING ❌

Yuna was given a new design since I felt the old one was either too boring or it was all over the place.
Though I did take some elements from her old design because I did love them. Her twin tails especially, in her new design I tried to incorporate the twin tails by having it loop between the buns. You can’t really see it due to the hair accessory keeping her hair in place.
As for the kimono she wears, her old design had an asymmetrical waist coat. I wanted to keep that in her new design so the kimono she wears is also asymmetrical. Another thing is having one arm lighter than the other. Basically meaning, that her left arm is completely covered in the sleeve while the right is a shorter sleeve and has a gauntlet.
The symbol on her back represents the Noguchi clan that she serves for.
I wanted to give Yuna a more dancer/figure skater style, since Yuna does love figure skating and dancing, so part of her design is to represent that. But Yuna is also an armed maid in the Noguchi clan, so she wears some armor as well.
The outfit she wears underneath is heavily inspired by ninja designs. And since this is a reference, I didn’t bother doing any shading or extra details. Just wanted to share the basis of the design.

Hello everyone! I am here to finally tell you a bit about my Ice Prince Zane AU lolol
Basically, the concept is that shortly after the serpentine wars, the elemental master of ice mysteriously dissapeared (AKA somehow ended up in the Never-Realm) and became the ruler and protector of the Never-Realm.
Im not sure whether Dr.Julien was born in the Never-Realm, he somehow got trapped there too, or he can somehow travel between realms(i really need to develop this sheesh) but he was there okay-
Anyway, Dr. Julien built Zane and they bonded like in canon, except there was a woman who was friends with Dr. Julien. Her name was Eleanor, she was an owl formling who would take care of and even learn how to repair Zane when his father couldn't. Her and the young nindroid quickly became friends in the process.
Moving on, the same fake old age death scene happened where Dr. Julien erased Zanes memories. This is where we get to the prince thing lol
Ignoring the criminally underdeveloped Dr. Julien and Ice King lore, the Elemental master of ice had passed away after crowning a new king(and passing his power down onto him), who eventually took Zane in and made him a prince, passing his powers onto the nindroid in the process.
Zanes original purpouse, 'protect those who cannot protect themselves' was switched out with 'become the perfect future ruler'. Eleanor was not happy to learn about what had happened, attempting to get Zane back to no avail. She could only really reach him through her daughter who worked in the castle as a maid, or send him letters. and Zane didnt realise it at first, but he wasn't happy either.
He spent his whole life ignoring his gut, telling himself that this was his purpouse. Because what else would he think? That he was somehow never meant to be a prince and this life wasnt even meant for him? Probably not!
But still. Constantly being served, learning battle & strategy techniques, avoiding being robbed every time he left the castle, being constantly dressed head to toe in fancy garments, all of it made him sick to his core. And yet, this was what he was built for right? To be a prince and a king, to be served and to rule over his nation skilfully and ruthlessly, this was his purpouse.
Well, atleast thats what he thought.
All of it changed on one faithful day when three color coded Ninja were captured and taken as prisoners..
Zane took a big step forward by secretly rebelling against his kings orders, and trekked down into the dungons. After interrupting their argument by unintentionally insulting them, he met the Ninja, who had turned to look at the strange figure in confusion.
And thats when their friendship blooms and he eventually frees them and gets kidnapped by a wolf masked prick with a cult following who wants to invade other realms finds his true purpouse with the help of a little bit of trauma, then makes the big decision to go to Ninjago and become a Ninja like his friends!
So yeah thats about it, have more IPZ art(used a drawing base)

What motivated all of you to choose that costume?
By the way, Jr., you look so cute as ninja *boops your nose*
Spewart: "I make all of our costumes myself! I chose to be a nurse since I have a LOT of spare white fabrics to use. And I also wanted an excuse to tie my hair up... Roy says I look great with it up like this! I have to tie it up in our science class while working with chemicals. He likes chemical days..."
Topper: "Ah, TPOTO is my favorite musical, and we also have a ton of leftover suit pieces laying around, so that was an easy choice."
Hariet: "Well, why shouldn't I be Rapunzel?? It just makes sense, right? Long blond hair, and also, pink and purple are MY colors! Oh yeah, and Spewart has the most experience in dress-making, so. Of course."
Rango: "Spewey agreed to only let one of us have a gorey costume 'cuz he's suddenly bothered by blood for whatever reason... And we all decided to let me have it and be a zombie! The fact that I'm missing a limb really helps with the aesthetic!" *Waves around his arm stub*
Motley: "I thought it'd be funny if Peasley and I swapped roles!"
Peasley: "I'm a clown and she's a duke."
Motley: "Jester. And. Prince. Get it right!!!"
Peasley: *Snickers* "You'd make a great evil queen one day!"
Motley: :3
Roy: *Shrugs* "I just saw the man-sized pony suit on the rack and thought it was funny."
Ludwig: "I didn't want a full-body suit for obvious reasons. But I did want something with long sleeves! This coat is very cozy and keeps me warm!"
Iggy: "I wanted something revealing~! Also- WENDY, I ALREADY TOLD YOU TO TAKE THAT OFF!!!"
Wendy: "IT'S NOT EVEN INAPPROPRIATE!! MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!!! YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!!!" *Walks to a different room with the camera*
Wendy: "... I sorta knew that a cheetah print dress with bell-bottom leg-warmers would piss Iggy off. I thought it'd be funny."
Morton: "Well, ever since I put on that French maid outfit, I've been more comfortable with wearing dresses, so I decided to wear a wizard robe! Basically the same thing!"
Larry: "One word. Minecraft Steve."
Lemmy & Jr: *Just staring at each other menacingly*

CHAPTER 10- PickleBerry Cave- Weird Name for a King's Castle.
-outside the cave.
Clay's eyes looked over every one of the bride-to-be's features.
He wasn't sure if he could trust her.
She wasn't malicious, but at the same time...
She held an odd familiarity that he didn't like the feeling of.
It took everybody to push a large boulder blocking the entrance to the cavern, with MK foolishly yelling "Echo!", which Stephanie copied.
"Stephanie, stay out here," Clay instructed, "It's most likely dangerous." Stephanie begrudgingly agreed.
Clay and MK tried to get Rosie to do the same, but she insisted on coming with them.
"My fiance owns this cave," she reasoned.
-entering the cave
It was dark. In the entry-way, a spider could be seen. Rosie clung to MK, and he clung to Clay. Lots of cobwebs, and an unusual stench.
One that Clay had once smelled, the stench of decay.
-going deeper.
It was getting hard to see. Luckily, a little ways in, a working light system was discovered- already on. There were paintings. One was of Rosie and her fiance, MK figured.
There were photos, many of which were of Rosie. One of the photos was of someone MK had never met. Clay, though, recognized the fellow right away.
He glared at Rosie. And Rosie looked away. MK decided not to intervene.
-deeper.
Nothing of note. Occasionally, they'd come to well-furnished rooms, or be greeted by butlers and maids.
They were with Rosie, so it'd be fine.
-deepest
Sylvester stood on top of a well-made table, gripping the green-clad ninja by the neck, the necromancer's eyes piercing through to Lloyd's soul.
"Just hiking? This is my home. There was a sign- multiple signs."
Lloyd swore he didn't see it. He couldn't tell Sylvester the truth of why he came to this cave. This was something he had to keep to himself.
His students, his brothers and sister, and anybody else could not know.
-storming in.
Before Lloyd knew it, multiple people he's never seen before stormed in.
An armor-clad man, presumably a knight, with a large claymore.
An agile-looking yet strong-seeming boy with a large staff- a staff Lloyd recognized from a book his uncle used to read to him- who also had a soft-looking monkey's tail.
And, the necromancer's soon-to-be wife.
The bride pleaded with her husband, causing Sylvester's grip to loosen.
But the monkey boy's hasty threats caused it to tighten again.
A battle. One Lloyd couldn't fight in. A sharp pain seemed to beat on his ankle like a drum as he was dropped on the ground.
Clay and MK had never fought together. It was clear. There was no harmony. MK gave it his all- the first time he transformed, Lloyd assumed he was a formling. But, the second, third, fourth, and so-on times, he had begun to wonder.
Meanwhile, every thrust and slash of Clay's weapon had purpose. Unlike MK's, his strategies seemed to be all laid out in his head.
Sylvester was stronger, though. And, he broke free from the onslaught and ran- not to escape, but to taunt.
MK and Clay chased, with MK in front.
A natural light at the end of the tunnel where the man-made light ended.
The battle carried on there, but the necromancer King didn't even need to summon anything to defend against these two.
To themselves, they were strong.
To Sylvester, they were but bugs to squash under his heels.
And Sylvester wasn't against playing dirty, grabbing the monkey-ish boy's tail.
He dangled him over the side of the cliff.
"Step away, knight."
Of course, Clay's body moved faster than his mind. He had to take another step to balance himself, but of course,
That resulted in the drop. And before Clay knew it, the strange man he had just met was gone.
-inside the cave
Rosie knew something was wrong. And so she ran off, ignoring the knight's gasps in horror, the ninja's pleas for help, everything.
She knew she was cowardly. She had always been cowardly, and as much as she wanted to run away from her old cowardly self, (s)he was still with her, for better or for worse.
Maybe she wasn't fit to be royalty- royalty, as far as she knew, didn't leave anyone for dead. She was always fit to be a laughing stock, though. Maybe she should go back to that.
After all, maybe her new king could use a jester.
----
-at the base of the mountain
"Wake up, young master."
"Uh..?"
"Didn't you hear me? Wake up."
"Who...are you? Where- who-"
"We're taking back your throne. Don't you remember?"
"Not really."
"You're my king, young master. Now, it's time to go,"
It was almost like he had said it before.
The older man pointed to a large red staff with golden accents jabbed into the dirt.
"That, my king, is your staff. Take it."
The younger man picked it up, and put it on his back like second nature.
It was time to go, then. The older man's face seemed more relaxed. Less annoyed.
--
Asks are now closed until chapter 11.
