I think it’s so funny how many ninjago show fics (both au and canon compliant) have kai going through an ‘I hate this kid so fukcing much he ruins everything he SUCKS’ phase about lloyd at first and then movie fics are almost always like. Hello I’m Kai this is lloyd I met him five minutes ago and if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in the room and then myself and if you say a SINGLE bad thing about him because of his father I’ll kill you too

Five times others noticed something off about Cole + one time it was explained
3083 Words; Coleverlord
Something was wrong with her son.
Lilly couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment she realized it, but something had changed since that disaster of a boating trip. Cole had been more quiet, lately, had been listless and almost eerily pensive at times.
Lilly didn’t like it. It was unnerving.
They never should have gone. It was supposed to be a fun outing for the three of them, a four-hour tour off the west coast alongside some other passengers.
It ended up being a ten-day stay on an uncharted island. It ended up being Lilly in charge of a group of people not quite accustomed to wilderness survival as they waited for rescue to stumble upon them. It ended up being exhausting, and draining, and the exact opposite of a fun outing.
And then they’d finally been found, and finally arrived home—
And now something was wrong with Cole.
It wasn’t what one would expect in this situation, either. Cole wasn’t sick, wasn’t running a fever, nor was he injured—no, it was none of that.
But there had been a drastic change in his behavior, and Lilly didn’t like it. It felt like there was something in her home, something that never should have been let in but had come in anyway, and that something was pitter-patting down the halls with steps eerily similar to her son but just so slightly off.
“Mama?”
Lilly jumped at her son's voice, caught off guard. She was in the kitchen getting herself water and trying to sort through this awful feeling she had. Her seven year old son was standing in the doorway, hand gripping the frame.
Despite the moonlight streaming in through the window onto his face—or maybe because of it—he didn’t seem quite real. Something about the way Cole was holding himself was just… off.
“Yeah?” Lilly shifted uncomfortably under her son’s stare. Something was definitely wrong with this child. Just him standing there in the doorway had the hairs on the back of her neck standing up.
Cole took a step forward. “Had a bad dream.” He murmured.
Lilly set her water on the counter and crossed the kitchen, wrapping her arms around her son despite her instincts telling her to be wary. “Oh, baby, it’s okay,” she lifted him up, bracing him against her hip to hold him more easily. “Do you wanna tell me about it?”
Cole buried his face in Lilly’s shoulder. “Don’t remember.” He mumbled.
Lilly hated that her first instinct here was to set Cole back down again. Hated that, for all that her son was right here and seeking comfort, part of her was convinced it wasn’t him.
Cole was still clinging to her, though, so she returned to the counter to finish her water, holding him close the entire time.
She’d have to tell Wu about all of this, about this unsettled feeling she had, but—
That could wait until the morning.
+=+=+=+=+
Cole had a really weird presence.
Jay didn’t really mind that Cole could sometimes be a little… off. Cole was Cole. Besides, Zane was also weird, but he was no less their brother; the same applied to Cole.
But for how sweet Cole could be, there was still something… unsettling about him. Something that had Jay’s arms erupt into goosebumps whenever Cole was around. And that was after several months of knowing the guy—when they’d first met, Jay couldn’t even look at Cole without his stomach tying up in knots.
It probably wasn’t really anything to worry about, but Jay couldn’t help but wonder why Cole had such disconcerting vibes. And it wasn’t the same as Zane’s uncanniness, because at least when Zane acted uncanny it didn’t put Jay on edge the way Cole sometimes did.
Jay knew Cole… or maybe he only thought he knew Cole. He was probably just being paranoid, but he couldn’t help but wonder sometimes.
He really hoped he was just being paranoid.
+=+=+=+=+
Cole was certainly… odd.
But that was fine. Zane was odd, too. They were both a little odd, but their family still loved them for it.
Sure, Cole’s tendency to occasionally stare westward was unusual, but Cole was Cole. It was when Zane started keeping track of it that things got… interesting.
As they traveled around searching for the Fang Blades, Zane noticed that Cole didn’t stare exactly westward. Rather, it seemed that the angle changed depending on the latitude, as though Cole was looking towards a certain location in particular rather than just out west in general.
So Zane conducted an experiment. Whenever he noticed Cole zoning out to stare west, he tracked the location and angle as best as he could.
Zane collected this data over the course of several days. When he was finally satisfied and had the free time to do so, he found himself a map, a ruler, a marker, and a compass.
It was time to record the data.
“Hey, Zane,” Jay greeted as he came into the room, “Watcha doing?”
“Recording data.” Zane responded, another crisp line appearing under his steady hand.
Jay came over to look at the map over Zane’s shoulder. “Kinda looks like you’re just drawing lines on a map, buddy.”
“That is what I am doing, yes.” Zane drew another line, extending it out until it intersected with the first. Since Jay was still watching, Zane elaborated, “I am marking down the directions of Cole’s… ‘trances’, as it were.”
Jay hummed consideringly. “Looks like they all converge at a certain point.”
Zane nodded. “Yes, it seems they do.” He added the final line, then capped the marker and set it and the ruler aside to survey his work.
Ten lines, crisp and neat, from ten different starting positions. Ten lines that all converged on the same point off the west coast.
There was nothing at those coordinates other than ocean, at least, there was nothing on the map. It was very puzzling.
“Wait.” Jay pointed at a small island just a few degrees north of the intersection. “What’s that?”
It was the only charted island for miles. Small, nondescript, and uninhabited. But it was also the closest thing to the intersection, and probably their best bet for answers outside of directly asking Cole.
“I’ll have to look into it.” Zane made a mental note to do just that as he stood up and began to fold the map.
Jay grabbed everything else. “Here, I’ll help.”
Zane nodded. “Thank you.”
+=+=+=+=+
Nya liked to think she was good at noticing the little details.
And she was! Whether it be the small details of her mech’s innards or the little things her brother did when he was stressed, Nya was really good at noticing small details.
Which was probably why she had noticed so many odd things about Cole. To be fair, a lot of things Cole did or said were just plain odd—and there was nothing wrong with that—but there were some things he did that just… felt off, sometimes.
So yeah. Nya noticed the small things, paid close attention to the boys and their habits and their moods. Paid attention to the small details of their faces, like the way Jay’d stick out his tongue when he was concentrating, or how Zane’s brow would furrow when he was deep in thought; how Kai’s eyes crinkled when he smiled—
And how Cole’s eyes seemingly changed color every so often, for seemingly no reason. How that dusty, tawny brown that looked so much like the sunbaked earth around the shop could suddenly shift into a deep violet. How sometimes it almost looked like his eyes were glowing in certain lighting. How it definitely wasn’t a trick of the light, no, his eyes definitely changed color.
Which was probably not normal.
Then again, their sensei was technically part dragon and had slitted pupils, so maybe Cole’s magical color-changing eyes weren’t that out there.
It was just a little unnerving, to look at Cole expecting those gentle eyes and see foreboding violet. Almost like there was something else there, something lurking behind those eyes. Something that shouldn’t be trusted.
But Nya didn’t like to think that way about Cole, so she just noted that his eyes changed color sometimes and moved on with her day.
She had more important things to stress about.
+=+=+=+=+
Kai didn’t like this.
There were a lot of things about this island that Kai didn’t like, but the way Cole had been acting since it rose was most definitely on the top of the list.
Cole was always pretty weird. And that was fine! What was unsettling was that he was acting differently from how he usually did.
First, they sail out to this random little island in the middle of the ocean because Garmadon somehow managed to get himself marooned out here, and was demanding they come and pick him up. Then, Cole disappears into the jungle with Jay and they trigger something that makes the island rise, revealing it to be some big evil mega island from Misako’s old texts. It didn’t help that Cole didn’t seem at all bothered by this.
Ever since then, Misako and Wu and Garmadon had been furiously discussing whether to stay and explore or leave immediately, and Kai was pretty sure Misako still had her weird grudge against Cole because he’d overheard her calling him a “problem” again, so Kai was staying away from that argument.
And so the ninja were cautiously poking around the edges of the jungle after having moved the Bounty back out to the new coast, and Cole—
He wasn’t acting like Cole.
He’d been muttering, too quiet to make out any of the words, and he’d go silent if you came closer. He stared into the jungle a lot, sometimes zoning out so bad that not even Jay’s bad jokes could snap him out of it.
All in all, Kai was very unnerved. And an unnerved Kai was an angry one, snapping at anyone who came near.
His stress levels weren’t helped by the fact that last he’d seen Cole, he and Lloyd had been wandering into the jungle. Kai had followed, but he’d lost track of them what seemed like hours ago.
So now the whole group was on an island Misako didn’t want to be anywhere near, Cole was acting like he was possessed and had disappeared with Lloyd for unknown reasons, and Kai was lost in the jungle.
“Amazing! Incredible!” Kai kicked at the dirt at his feet, “Oh, this is just perfect!” He had no idea how to get back. Great. Fucking wonderful.
The jungle had no response for his tantrum, just a few faint bird calls and wind rustling the leaves.
Kai huffed. He wasn’t going to be finding Cole and Lloyd anytime soon, so he should probably try to get back to the beach and tell everyone else what he knew. Of course, being lost would put a damper on it, but Kai was reasonably sure he could figure out where he was.
He looked at the trees surrounding him.
He just needed a little more height.
+=+=+=+=+
Lloyd was pretty sure they were lost.
When he voiced this concern, however, Cole just replied with a chipper “oh no, we’re definitely getting closer!” that wasn’t reassuring in the least. So Lloyd continued to trudge through the jungle after Cole, hoping he’d at least get an explanation for why Cole felt the need to drag him along to… wherever they were heading.
Another leaf smacked Lloyd in the face. “Are you certain we’re not lost?” He asked once more. “Because I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the same tree more than four times already.”
Cole didn’t say anything, just took Lloyd’s hand to help him up a small ledge. They continued their little trek, the jungle slowly thinning out and becoming a mountain.
“It’s just up here.” Cole said. He’d been unusually quiet up until this point.
Lloyd looked up at the rock face that Cole was suggesting he climb and groaned. But Cole was already ascending, so Lloyd swallowed his complaints and got to climbing. It was strenuous and sweaty and exhausting and if Cole was only dragging him up here to show him a killer view or some shit then Lloyd was going to scream, but he’d let himself be led out this far so he was going to climb all the way to the top, dammit.
Gasping and aching in ways that shouldn’t be possible, Lloyd hauled himself up onto the top, flopping over onto his back to catch his breath. Why did killer views have to be so hard to get to?
Cole was already moving, striding towards whatever he’d wanted to show Lloyd. Lloyd blearily turned his head towards Cole, not prepared to see anything in particular—
Oh.
That was definitely… something.
A big metal… thing sat proudly atop the stone, with a whole bunch of gears and rings and big metal balls on the end of rods like some mad scientist’s evil machine or something.
Lloyd pushed himself up into a sitting position while Cole approached the metal abomination. “Am I gonna get an explanation, or… ?”
Cole stopped, still facing towards the Big Metal Thing. “It’s the Celestial Clock.” He said quietly. “It’s supposed to count down to the final battle.” Now that he said it, Lloyd could see something that looked vaguely clock-like near the center of the rings.
Lloyd frowned. “It doesn’t seem to be doing a whole lot of counting down.” Which was a relief. Lloyd would like the final battle to maybe just not happen, please and thanks.
“Yeah.” Cole stepped forwards, tracing his hand gently along one of the rings as he moved towards the center of it. “Because it hasn’t been activated yet.” He stopped at the center and put his hands on a helmet Lloyd hadn’t noticed before. “But if you remove the Helmet of Shadows…”
Lloyd stood up very fast. “Uh, Cole, what—”
“Do you trust me?” Cole’s voice cut through the air like a knife. Lloyd stopped where he stood.
“Lloyd.” Cole still didn’t turn around, “Do you trust me?”
“I—” What was the right answer here? What was Lloyd supposed to do?
“Yeah, I—I trust you.”
Cole picked up the helmet and stepped back, his back still to Lloyd. With a grind and a groan, the clock started moving. “Then you won’t worry about this.”
“But the final battle—”
“Isn’t happening.” Cole snarled. “The clock is going to run down and nothing will happen because there isn’t going to be a final battle. We are not fighting.”
Lloyd took a step back. Okay, this was definitely starting to cross the line into Not Okay. “Cole?”
All the tenseness in Cole’s shoulders dissolved. “I’m sorry.” He murmured. “You’re not talking to Cole right now.”
At that, Cole—or rather, Not-Cole?—turned around, helmet still cradled in his hands. His eyes were a brilliant, glowing violet—no iris, no pupil, just pure, deep violet that had Lloyd’s instincts screaming at him to flee from.
Immediately, Lloyd assumed a defensive stance. “What are you? What did you do to Cole?” He demanded, green lighting in his hands.
Not-Cole laughed, an eerie, broken sound. “Relax, Lloyd, I don’t intend to hurt you.” It took a step forward, but stopped when Lloyd stepped back. “Or did you not hear me when I declared that there would be no final battle?”
“You better start explaining,” Lloyd snarled, “Right now.”
Not-Cole nodded. “That is why I brought you up here, yes.” He sat down, helmet still in his lap, and gestured for Lloyd to do the same.
Lloyd dropped the stance, but stayed standing.
Not-Cole sighed. “Alright, let’s start with an introduction. I am the being known as the Overlord. I came about not long after the First Master created Ninjago, as a counterbalance to his light and order.”
Lloyd processed this, turning it over in his head. “Okay.”
The Overlord nodded, then continued. “The First Master and I engaged in a battle for control of Ninjago. What was going to be a stalemate turned in my favor when I created the Stone Army, so the First Master split Ninjago in half and sunk my half, leaving me bound to it.” It traced Cole’s hands along the edges of the helmet, gaze fixed on Lloyd.
Lloyd frowned. “So, what, you possessed Cole when we got here? Is that it?”
It chuckled. “You’re correct, but your timing is off. My vessel first arrived on this island years and years ago, when a freak stroke of luck resulted in a ship washing up here.” Cole—no, the Overlord—sighed wistfully. “I wanted off this island. My vessel was sympathetic enough to let me in.”
Lloyd tensed. “So you’ve been controlling Cole for years, then.”
“No.” Cole said, eyes suddenly back to their normal brown. “We share this body.”
“Cole.” Lloyd put his hands on Cole’s shoulders. “Are you really, truly okay with this?”
Cole nodded, sincerity in his eyes. “Made It promise not to fight you.” He muttered.
And then his eyes were violet, though not the fully obvious, solid violet of moments before. Just the irises.
“There won’t be a final battle.” It said, “That clock will count down to nothing.” It stood up, still holding the helmet. “And nothing will happen.”
Lloyd walked over, standing beside It. “How can you be so sure?”
“My vessel was never supposed to end up on this island. I was never supposed to leave it. And look at us now, sharing a single body.” It strode forwards, Cole’s arms spreading out to the sides in an sweeping gesture as It stared out into the landscape below them. “Destiny has been defied once.” It turned towards Lloyd, extending a hand. “So why bow to such a shitty destiny if you don’t have to? Why submit yourself to a fight none of us want when it’s not even necessary?”
It gestured towards the clock, which was still ticking down. “Just wait. Nothing will happen when the clock hits zero, because there won’t be a final battle. Destiny has no power over us.”
Lloyd watched the clock tick down for a moment, processing what the Overlord was telling him. Could he really trust it?
But then he remembered his father telling him that he was proud of Lloyd, as well as all the things his dad tried in order to stop the prophecy from coming true.
“Alright.” Lloyd made his decision.
“Let’s defy destiny.”

We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow Master List
Chapter 1: Sirens
These last few days have been some of the best days of Minghao’s life. Not to say he’s had a bad one, he actually considered himself quite fortunate in that aspect compared to his brothers. Most of his pack didn’t even know what Minghao had done before he joined them. They just figured it wasn’t anything good. He had this… bad boy aura about him that they couldn’t quite place. So no one really ever wanted to fuck with him, not that he was complaining. I mean don’t get me wrong, he could do some SERIOUS damage to an opponent, he just didn’t want to have to. He was done with and over all the fighting. He fought his whole life. Now, he was tired. Boy, was he tired. He got so tired sometimes that it felt like his bones were scraping each other and if he didn’t lay down in the middle of whatever he was doing, they’d crack and break apart from his body. He’d never tell his brothers that though, he didn’t like them worrying about him. He wasn’t helpless, he was quite capable of taking care of himself and others. He just never had to because he had the Alphas looking out for the pack all the time. It wasn’t his problem to watch out for anyone and he liked it that way.
That is, until he met you. Before you, he saw the world for all its horrors and terrors. With you around, he saw all its beauty and grace. He never thought that imprinting would be like this. He felt almost high when you were around. No one ever really explained it all in depth to him. He didn’t realize that just someone saying your name would make his heart jump out of his chest. He took one look at you and he realized you were all he cared about. Sure he loved his brothers, but he knew if push came to shove they could protect themselves. Apart of him knew that of course you could too, but for the first time, he actually WANTED to take care of someone.
He always needed to be sure you were okay. He’d ask how you slept, if you ate, how you were feeling, if you were happy. It frazzled his brothers, he’d never done that with them. It was strange seeing such a loving side of him. They knew he loved them because they were his brothers, but they absolutely KNEW he loved you because you were his mate. But seeing him worry himself sick over your well-being was… different to say the least. They were actually pretty sure you had replaced him with an identical looking version of himself when they weren’t looking because, again, he just wasn’t even acting like the Minghao they knew.
You didn’t mind of course. You actually loved that he cared for you so much. You were so tired of having to take care of yourself for all this time. You didn’t think you were very good at it and, quite frankly, it was exhausting. You had been on the run for centuries before you met the pack. It was lonely and if there was anything in this world that you actually hated, it was being all alone. You came from a tribe where the bigger the family, the better. You missed it. So when you realized Minghao had imprinted on you, you couldn’t have been more happy. Because now, not only did you get a mate who loved you more than life itself, but you got his crazy pack brothers too. You figured he loved you anyway, he hadn’t actually said the words to you yet, still, you could just… feel it. You could even feel that his brothers loved you. They reminded you a lot of your original brothers. They were loud and rambunctious, and they’d do anything to protect you because you were their brothers mate. It was perfect.
As you both lay asleep in your now shared bed, you cuddled on top of his toned chest like always, you heard a loud, almost in human, scream from outside. It made you jump almost a foot in the air, and had you falling in the floor. You had let your instincts and guard down quite a bit since you came to live with them a few weeks ago because you felt safe. So the terrible noise from outside scared you a great deal. Minghao was quick to act of course, rushing to scoop you in his arms and quietly rocking you to calm you down.
“Shh. It’s okay baby it’s gone now. Don’t worry. It’s okay, I’ve got you.” He spoke softly as he stroked your hair gently, still rocking you in place.
“I- I know I just wasn’t expecting it. Who the hell screams like that this early in the morning?” You questions, both of you knowing it was more rhetorical than anything.
“More like who screams like that in general.” Minghao said, half joking and half concerned, though he was trying his best to hide it from you.
He had come to realize any sounds out of the ordinary could set you off into a panic attack. He didn’t like seeing you scared, and he didn’t like your heart rate spiking for anyone or anything other than himself.
“I just hope it’s over now-” you start, but just as you were about to finish your sentence, another loud screech forced you to jump from Minghao’s arms and hide under the bed.
He knew he couldn’t help it, it was now part of your instinct to hide in the darkest place possible from danger as you were out alone in the woods for decades and it was the way you kept yourself alive. Still, he couldn’t help the small whine that came from within his chest as he saw you hiding. He hated the fear in your eyes, it made him feel so helpless. He tried to coax you out from under his bed by trying to tell you it was just a passing noise. But, once again, the noise came back. Except this time, you actually managed to hear it without the sleepiness or your mating pull clouding it. Oh no! You quickly go out from under the bed and grabbed onto Minghao.
“Hao, where are the other boys??” You asked quickly, the fear in your eyes seeming to amplify.
“Probably asleep, like we should be so let’s-” he tried, still wanting to attempt to get more hours.
“No Hao! We need to find them. We need to find ALL OF THEM right now!” You all but yell as you quickly grabbed a pair of shorts, slipped them on, and threw open your bedroom door.
“(Y/N)! What the hell?? They’re all sleeping come on let’s go back to bed” Minghao whined, clearly not understanding the gravity of the situation.
You ignored him as you opened the door closest to your bedroom, you were greeted with Chan sitting on the edge of his bed, you could tell he was also woken up by the loud scream. Good, he’s safe. Now the others.
You then opened the door across the hall from your room. In it, you found Seungcheol yawning putting on pants in order to try and investigate the strange noise. You then pushed open Joshua and Jeonghan’s rooms, in them, you found both boys to be just as shocked from your actions as Minghao was. But nevertheless they were safe so you didn’t care how crazy you looked. After them, you dashed to Jun and Soonyoung’s shared room, letting out a quick relieved sigh seeing them both already standing close to their door.
You kept doing this until you had finished your rounds of Jihoon’s, Seokmin’s, Seungkwan’s, Wonwoo’s, and Hansol’s rooms respectively. You were so beyond happy that all the boys were okay that you almost cried real tears, they were already brimming at your waterlines.
“(Y/N), we all heard the noise. But it just sounded like someone yelling. We’re all fine. You worry too much.” Seungcheol assured you, giving you a small pat on the head to show gratitude for your care for them.
“No Seungcheol. You don’t understand. That wasn’t just any random villager screaming. That was something more vile than you could even imagine. And it prays on men, specifically horny-” you stopped yourself mid-sentence. “Wait.” You paused. “WHERE’S MINGYU??” you said, realizing very quickly that one of the wolves you were thinking of while saying your piece was unaccounted for.
You dashed to his room and busted the door open. And sure enough, his big ass form was there laying in bed, sleeping like a baby. Thank God.
“Alright. Somebody’s been hanging around Jun’s paranoid ass too long.” Hansol joked your way, earning a chuckle from a few others as well.
“Hey!” Junhui tried to defend himself.
“No you guys don’t get it. That scream, that was a siren’s victory call. I was legitimately worried for your lives.” You protested, Minghao coming up behind you to wrap his arms around your waist.
“A siren? What’s that?” Chan asked as all the boys looked to you for elaboration.
Boy, you sometimes forgot how young and inexperienced with the supernatural they were. They were far better with people than you were that’s for sure, but when it came down to other magical beings, it was like you were speaking a different language. And you only really ever did that with the foreign wolves as you knew both English and Chinese.
“A siren’s one of the most deadly creatures you can find. They look like regular people, most of the time, they’re absolutely beautiful. That’s what makes them so scary, they look like angels. But they’re pure evil, they lure people to their deaths late at night, mostly men. Mostly horny men. They use them for sex, to procreate. Then they kill them in brutal, horrible ways. Afterwards, they let out that God awful scream. That’s why I got so worried with you guys, I thought that…” you trailed off, shrugging your shoulders slightly.
“That what? One of us got our dick wet and our head chopped off?” Joshua laughed out, clearly amused that you considered them all horny men.
“Well yeah, kind of. You can’t blame me. I know what most of you go to the village for late at night. When I realized what the scream was, I just had to make sure you were right. I didn’t want to wake up the next morning to have to go out and find a fucking body.” You huffed as Minghao gave you a small peck on your shoulder to try and ease your tension.
“Well, thank you for caring for our safety. But we’re big boys. We can take care of ourselves. Well most of us…” Soonyoung assured you, standing more proud than he should’ve as he looked at Jeonghan.
“Yeah… that’s kind of what I’m worried about…” you let the joke pass your lips, trying your best not to laugh.
The other boys went into a roar of laughter as Jeonghan tried his best to hide his own amusement behind a fake angry face. The laughter seemed to be just enough noise to wake the life of the party up finally.
“Hey guys” Mingyu yawned. “What’s gonna on? Why are we laughing?”
“Well (Y/N) seems to think we’re gonna get our dicks chopped off.” Jeonghan responded to Mingyu, earning another quick chuckle and a slap from Jihoon.
“Oh well… that’s nice… any particular reason it’s me and you or is everyone else invited to the dick chopping party too?” Mingyu spoke again, trying his best to hide his obvious confusion with a joke.
“No man. It’s mostly you two.” Laughed Seungkwan. “You’re the ones who always seem to need to bury your dicks in something, not us”
You snort as you turn yourself to bury your face into Minghao’s chest, now wanting to go back to sleep knowing everyone’s alright.
“Alright alright you horny kids. All jokes aside.” Joshua spoke up. “(Y/N) how serious is this siren threat?”
“Well I’ve seen one siren take out half a town before. So pretty serious I’d gather. I dont know where all this dick chopping came into the conversation, but I’d say everyone needs to stay inside once it gets dark out until further notice, just to be safe” you mumble out from Minghao’s chest.
“Okay guys. You heard the all knowing wolf lady” Seungcheol said, earning a playful glare from you. “No more going out at night. Not for a while. No exceptions. All dicks must remain in tact” he declared.
“Aw man” Mingyu pouted, he was disappointed but also understood that the pack’s safety came before his hormones.
You let out a small giggle as Minghao lightly laughed as he placed a little kiss on the top of your head.
“No that’s enough excitement for one night. Everyone back to bed. We’ll talk more in the morning.” Joshua decided, ushering everyone back into their rooms.
Once your bedroom door was closed, Minghao picked you up mumbled an “I’m exhausted” before he placed you on the bed, the bags formed under his eyes showing you just how tired he must be. He joined you moments later and hovered himself over you.
“Do you really think the guys will stay inside because of the siren?” He questions while moving a lock of your hair behind your ear. You clasp your hands behind the back of his neck and place with his hair.
“Hmm. Don’t know. I guess we’ll see. If someone wakes up without a dick, we’ll know they didn’t listen” you said with a cheeky ass smile, much to the delight of your loving mate.
“Got it, no dick means they’re the siren’s bitch” he said aloud causing you to chuckle at his thought process.
“I promise I’ll still wake up with mine though” he added, earning a sweet smile from you. God, what did he do to deserve such a cute little mate?
“Good. I’d be real disappointed if you woke up with it gone.” You playfully pout, stroking his cheek during your sentence to further add to your point.
“Well you know how I hate to disappoint love” he said, a hint of mischief in his eyes as he pecked your lips with a bit more passion than you thought he would’ve used this early in the morning.
“I thought you were tired?” You questioned as best you could while he was trailing his kisses down to your neck, nipping at the sensitive skin gently.
“I was.” He mumbled into the crevice of your neck. “But I realized just how hard it is to resist your cute self. So now I’m thinking of some… other things we haven’t quite gotten to just yet” he answered with a playful smirk, making his intention completely obvious to you. Boy, this morning was already off to a fun start.
Another Author’s Note: I know what you guys are thinking, you’re thinking I meant succubus. But I meant Siren. There’s many different versions of both and I just happened to use the Siren version where they sing the men to lure them to their deaths on land. On another note, I finished three chapters in one day. I’m a bit proud not even gonna lie. I hope you guys liked this one. Minghao’s next chapter will be smut as I want to get their first time together out of the way as soon as possible. I don’t really know why. It just feels right you know?

Meeting and Dating Lloyd Dobler
Tumblr media
(Not my gif)(Requested via message)
(I kept the first date because I thought it was cute. Hope you don’t mind!)
- You and Lloyd technically didn’t meet until after he asked you out.
- Remember when you first went to highschool and you had no idea that half the school “existed”; for lack of a better term. And every year you would somehow encounter someone that you didn’t know went to your school but now that you did know, you would just see them everywhere? That was you and Lloyd.
- It was after you entered your senior year of highschool that Lloyd had first seen you in the hallways. He had a thing for you the moment he saw you and spent the entire year arriving at one of his classes late because he just couldn’t take his eyes off you whenever you stood and waited for class to start.
- The only reason he didn’t ask you out during the year is because he just couldn’t work up the nerve, especially knowing that he’d have to see you the rest of the year if you rejected him.
- But soon enough, graduation came and he figured that he just had to ask you out or else he was very likely going to explode.
- So he went to “his office” and searched the phone book for your name, scanning through page after page until he found it and nervously dialed up the number.
- Well, I think you know how that phone call went. He spent the first minute or so rambling which gave you the time to skim through your yearbook and see exactly who was calling. And frankly... you were surprised to see that the voice on the other end of the phone was such a handsome boy.
“Lets go out. You wanna go out?”
- Let’s be honest here, Lloyd won’t relent until he gets; at least, one date with you. And why would you refuse? Like I said before: you saw him and saw that he was cute. And though you really didn’t know him, what was the worst that could happen when going out with someone that was so nervous while just talking on the phone with you.
- So you agreed ...which prompted him to ask you to repeat yourself a few times because he was in complete disbelief. Afterwards, he told you he’d pick you up at eight before saying goodbye and prancing to the living room to yell with his nephew in celebration.
- For your first date, he took you to the graduation party where you spent the night mingling with a lot of his surprisingly chill friends and periodically meeting back with him while he played keymaster.
- Your night; and morning, went pretty much the same after that. You were forced to drive around for three hours to give Mike a ride home, then you stopped at 7/11 and talked while you walked the rest of the way to your house; whereupon getting there he confessed that he wanted to see you as much as he could.
- The two of you share your first kiss a few dates later which only takes about three days since he asks you to hang out nearly every day. He’d just parked in front of your house, both of you saying a cheerful goodbye when he leant over and pressed a chaste kiss to your lips, one you’d returned happily before saying a final goodbye and getting out of his car.
- Well, after that the two of you are inseparable and neither of you would have it any other way, especially not him.
- Constant Pda. Lloyd is sort of obsessed with you and wants to be touching, kissing, and holding you whenever he can, no matter where you are.
-  Hugs. He likes to bury his face in the crook of your neck when you do. 
- Having his arm around you most of the time. He likes having you pressed into his side. 
- Neck kisses. 
- Quick and chaste kisses or long and passionate ones; depends on the mood. 
- Don't mind him, he’s just absentmindedly playing with your hair. 
- Handholding. He takes your hand whenever he can, he likes having that little connection. 
- Bridal carrying and piggyback rides. 
- He’s not a big pet name person; mainly because he loves your name, but if he knows that you like them, he’ll gladly use them just to make you happy. 
- Lets be real here; Lloyd would gladly cuddle with you for hours on end. He loves having you as close to him as possible so never worry about trying to snuggle with him, he wants you to. 
- He’s a big spoon and he will refuse to let you go if you really don’t have to leave. He’ll tell you to go back to sleep or tighten his arms around you whenever you shift, not wanting you to move away from him even for a moment. 
- He’s the best at comforting and reassuring you and he genuinely never gets tired of it. He’ll sit with and talk to you for hours if he has to because the most important thing for him is seeing you happy. 
-  He’s your own, personal cheerleader. He’s always at all your events, clapping the loudest, and turning towards whoever's next to him, saying a “she’s great, isn’t she?”. He’s so proud. 
- He’s always gushing about you to people, even before the two of you started dating. Corey has to hear about you constantly though deep down she really doesn’t mind. 
- Speaking of his friends, you end up getting close to a lot of them, especially Corey. You let her rant to you whenever she needs to and she reminds you how important and special Lloyd is. 
- He sort of tells Corey and his other girlfriends everything so be prepared for her to know if you’ve “made it” or not or when you’ve had your first kiss. She tells you pretty much everything about her so it’s sort of a fair deal. 
- Getting close with his sister and nephew. You love watching him and the little boy play with each other and he loves the fact that you think it’s cute whenever he does. 
- His sister loves to tease him; and the two of you honestly. 
- He never gets annoyed while he waits for you to get ready. He likes having the excuse to watch you while you do your makeup or brush your hair, or just helping you choose an outfit and put it on. 
- Tons of compliments. He thinks you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread and you best believe you’re going to know that. 
- Lloyd is ...so respectful? His mother raised him right and there’s so many points in your relationship where you wonder how you somehow managed to hit the jackpot. 
- I’m just gonna say it: he’s a pushover. You have Lloyd wrapped around your little finger so be nice to him because you’re his world and he’d do anything for you. 
- If you ask him to carry you’re things, he’ll do it. Ask him to do something he normally hates, he’ll do it. Ask to do something most boys would say no to, he’ll do it. He just loves seeing you happy. 
- He sort of jumps to agree with a lot of what you say; especially in the beginning of your relationship, because he wants you to think that the two of you are really compatible and that he’s the perfect guy for you. 
- Having a bunch of pictures together. He certainly has a bunch of pictures of you. 
-  Watching him train, fight, workout, etc. He pushes himself as hard as he can to impress you, occasionally hurting himself because he’s distracted ...so maybe it isn't a good idea for you to be there with him. 
- This boy lives for your praise. Tell him he’s handsome or that he did a good job and he’s all smiles. 
- He sort of loves hearing you talk and learning more about you. He eats up all your stupid stories like they’re the greatest things in the world. 
-  Talking on the phone pretty much everyday. He usually calls to say good morning or goodnight, or to see if you want to hang out. 
- Occasionally deep conversations. Sometimes something one of you says will just spur a sort of existential explanation/speech that neither of you really anticipated.
- Sooo many dates. You have at least three every week. Like I said: you’re inseparable. 
- He’s pretty much willing to do anything with you. He just likes being in your company, he doesn’t really care what you’re doing together.
- Going to convenience stores. 
- Beach dates. 
- Taking walks around gardens and other pretty places. You admire the scenery, he admires you. 
- Driving around with him all night. You don’t even have to talk for most of it, you just enjoy exploring the town and listening to the radio with him. 
- Cuddling in the early hours of the morning because you’ve spent all night out with him. 
- Sitting together in his backseat, either making out or “making it”. 
- He’s always prepared wherever you go. He always has whatever you need and is so considerate that you just want to kiss him. Food, entertainment, extra coats; you name it and he’s got it. 
- He would absolutely be the type of boyfriend to go out and buy you pads. He’s got a sister that he lives with and a friend group that pretty much consists of all girls; I’m sure he’s done it before. 
- You think you’re gonna be free of him when you get sick? Oh ho ho honey; not a chance. He’s calling to check in on you every few hours and stopping by to take care of you himself. 
- He’s not an extremely jealous person, and he’s good at acting nonchalant when he is so you rarely know when he’s actually feeling that way. He’s respectful and he trusts you so he isn’t gonna make a big deal out of you being around other guys, especially since you’re both so obviously in love. 
- And he’s got eyes only for you; there’s no reason for you to ever feel jealous. 
- He’s protective of you in the cutest way possible. He’s always sweetly checking in on you, making sure you’re okay and looking out for you whenever you’re together. You’ll never have to worry about stepping on broken glass again. 
- The two of you rarely ever fight so when you do, it’s over something serious or because someone else has caused a rift between the two of you. He never yells at you, he never really insults you, he mainly just wants you to talk to him, but believe me, when it comes down to it, he’ll argue and argue until one of you can’t take it anymore; usually you. 
- It’s usually you that leaves to get some space and cool off or think things over. In that time, if you refuse to see or talk to him, he’ll continue to call you until you finally agree to make up. He’s the king of persistency; as we saw in the movie. 
- His apologies are usually very heartfelt. A boombox playing your song™, flowers, messages on your answering machine that makes you want to cry. Believe me, it’s hard to stay mad at him.
- At first, he was really nervous to tell you that he loved you. He thinks that telling a girl he loves them is a really meaningful thing so he wanted to know that he meant it before he said it. But after he said it for the first time, he just couldn’t stop, and he loves hearing you tell him that you love him back. 
- It doesn’t matter what the future holds for the two of you; he’d follow you to the ends of the Earth. He wants to be with you for the rest of his life; it’s the one thing he’s really sure of.

do u have any random facts or things about Depth of heaven and ur characters (sfw or nsfw 🤭) even if what you want never comes to light, I really enjoy reading the concepts and asks about ur OCs
Hehehe I haven't thought about the characters and their story in a long time, until recently...but I never put a huge amount of thought into them before either! I kinda just knew I...wished I could make something cool that had everything I wanted in that kind of game lmao. Even if it doesn't happen, I felt like I wanted there to be twists and secrets...if it never happens then nobody but me will ever know about them, huh! But, if it does happen then I'll spoil stuff for later! What to do...ah I'll share about it! But I'm giving it a spoiler warning for something that doesn't exist anyway lmao Also I'm not a writer or a scientist this is all wacky world rules ok xd also there might be inconsistencies idk I never wrote anything down I'll tell u their heights! June: 5'4 Puzzle: 6'3 Koa: 5'6 Adam: 6'1 Keizo: 6'7 Lloyd: 5'11 Static: 6' Cyril: 5'9 Holly: 5'7
In high school June and Puzzle were da weeaboos who listened to vocaloid on their phones at lunch. Puzzle wore cat ears, big headphones, and tutus to school. I think....I decided that because of her old bad design lmao. I thought I had a drawing of her in cat ears but I can't find it 😔 June prolly just wore hoodies and graphic t-shirts. They were each others prom dates! June wore a tux! Okay spoilery stuff ahead!
I have a general idea what I want the story to be, but right now I just see it as disjointed scenes in my head. I posted some June and Puzzle wearing dresses where I wanted a scene to happen in a casino on the ship. Cruise ship casinos are kinda lame though lol, but it'll be as big and cool as I want >:•3 and it's an excuse to have everyone in cool formal wear cuz that's always fun! The cult leader calls for a big party on the ship and everyone has to attend! It's also where he culls the herd...because not everyone is worthy of going to heaven...apparently Koa likes playing video games! He's on the top of the leaderboard for one MMO, and during one event the top prize was blueprints for an in-game item: roller skates! It would make for cool merch to put on your wall or something. There was a rumor among the playerbase that the blueprints could make skates that function as they do in the game. Koa won the prints then used them to custom build his own skates (they look kinda generic now but I haven't put a lot of thought into their design lmao). The combination of materials used and construction give them a magical quality that allows him to skate faster than any human could! He's always pushing his limits, and sometimes it gets him in twubble xd Keizo has an issue with bad dreams...at night he replays all the times in his life where people were rude to him or each other, how he needs to keep peace between them, he just really hates assholes! He has nightmares about them treating him badly and there's nothing he can do, because at his height and with his strength he'd come off as the bad guy no matter what! They push and push 'til he's about to snap...then he wakes up! The rage super heats his blood and his skin glows red and steam pours out his ears! His hair is all wacky cuz it holds it's shape on the pillow from all the heat lmao June and the rest of them find out about it when they see steam coming out from under his door at night. Don't wake him up though! If he's still glowing hot he'll sleep walk while in a berserk state. First, it makes him really rude himself lmao. He'll say all the nasty things he won't when he's awake! Second, if he sees someone doin' shit he don't like, they're gettin' these 🤜🤛 In his happy ending you'd see him with his hair flat for the first time wouldn't that be nice :•3 Adam is always doing experiments on himself, kinda just for shits, kinda because he wants to discover something amazing....!.....?!?!??! When he was younger, his sister, who he loved v much, died. He wanted to become a doctor, not because he wanted to find a cure for the thing that killed his sister...because she died in an accident! He wanted to find a way to make people invincible! He's always injecting himself with stuff hoping it'll make him stronger. He likes Keizo as a friend, but to Adam Keizo is a perfect specimen of an indestructable human. Adam's been fascinated with him for a while, but Keizo also just makes for a good subject for testing against! Also, they met when Adam was studying abroad and Keizo came up on a motorbike and attacked the wheels on Adam's scooter. Cute! :•) Keizo used to be a bad boy :•( Other experiments Adam's done: Eyesight like a HAWK Cat ears but for real Jelly bones(?) Longer ween 😳 Lloyd is a stinky tech wiz who likes playing around with AI's and robotics! He has myassive myega brains and he monitors many of the functions of the ship by himself in his server room. When the captain is captured and thrown off the ship, Lloyd uses his know-how and special accesses to make sure the cult doesn't make a mess of everything. He knows about and can see everything that happens on the ship...for fun he likes video games toooo! And plays with Koa! He likes buildin' lil gadgets n tings for fun too! They can come in real handy! nsfw! Stuff past here!!!!!!!!! June, Koa, and Lloyd are all inexperienced!
As a lover, Keizo tries to be gentle...but once he gets into it he can be a bit rough! If you're into it, just enjoy! Or speak up and he'll slow down! Hmmm I was inspired by a scene from the film Crying Freeman (which I haven't actually watched 8•|) of some ppl doin' it in a closet(?)...it's all dark and cramped and humid and their skin is so shiny and glistening it's probably the thing that awoken me to drawing people super sweaty. I just can't help myself 😳 def wanna give Keizo a scene like that. This doodle was inspired by it actually lmao
Tumblr media
Adam is patient and gentle! Lots of kisses and verbal reassurance and checking in w/ u. He's aware of his age and he doesn't wanna come off badly so he'll let you do all the pursuing. And June will pursue him hard if she has to! He's also gonna make you beg and ask, just so he's sure sure :•) He loves to sit her up on the examining table n do things wit his mouf n fingers 😳 I'd probably make it an option to call him daddy in certain scenarios...up to u if u choose it find out what happens for urself idk 😳😳😳 or don't
Koa likes to tease you, maybe bully you a lil, but when it comes to intimacy he's a wimp! I just like the idea of making the bully bend to your will, but he likes it. It just feels good to wipe that cocky smile off his face! Step on him! Make him whimper! I know June's a virg too, but Koa is just so easy to tease it makes it feel like second nature. BUT the more time they spend together, the more confident Koa becomes. So! Enjoy havin' him under your thumb while you can cuz it might not last forever! Lloyd tries to stay composed when June starts showing an interest. He's usually alone in his server room, but secretly appreciates her company when she comes by. At first he'll act like he's too busy. He's not used to being around women! As his interest in June grows it becomes harder to hide his feelings! So June notices...and teases him! Cuz it's just so easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyYYYYYYY 😩 Seeing his serious expression crack when you put ur hands in his pants is lots of fun :•3 And he shows you a voice he's never shown anyone else before 🤤 He does his research and with your help he'll learn exactly how to worship u 😌 IF it ever happens there has to b a new game plus where u unlock threesome scenes with Koa/Lloyd and Adam/Keizo :•x That's all 4 now! Sorry I'm fuckin' gross and don't know how to type :•|

The Rights Of A Nindroid
Chapter Fifteen
(Prevoius Chapter Here)
(Discord Here)
Been a while since I’ve posted, sorry about that-
I’m supposed to be in school rn lol
When finally taken back to the lockers, after thirty exhausting hours, Cryptor feels as though he’s on the verge of a forced shutdown.
The damn brat had switched out with someone else, claiming something about an internship. And that had at least meant that the one hurting him no longer had a personal vendetta, but it was still painful.
Cryptor hates how close he had come to actually asking them to hurt Zane instead, but he didn’t. Though judging by the way the other looks when the two of them are put in the locker, they hurt him anyway.
DID THEY GIVE YOU A CHOICE TOO?
Zane doesn’t answer for a moment, likely out of surprise or maybe exhaustion.
I DIDNT GIVE IN
Cryptor snorts. Of course he didn’t. He’s a self-sacrificing dumbass, and it had been that knowledge that had allowed Cryptor to hang on himself.
HOW LONG A BREAK DO YOU THINK WELL GET?
It’s a morbid game, really, but the two of them had taken to guessing how long they would get before dragged out for testing or torture.
AT LEAST SIX HOURS WE WERE THERE FOR OVER A DAY
Mulls over the words, Cryptor considers the idea. Zane’s probably right, but he feels like arguing.
OR THEYLL WANT TO BEAT IT INTO US WITH A SHORTER ONE
There’s a pause, and Cryptor takes a moment to hate himself. Yes, start an argument with his one friend, that’s a wonderful idea.
IS SOMEONE HAVING A BAD DAY?
Cryptor snorts. Good, Zane can tell when he’s only pretending to argue. Probably picked that up from his teammates.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
The friendly banter continues for a while, but Cryptor can eventually feel himself shutting down from exhaustion.
He taps out a goodbye and a quick explanation before falling asleep, hoping- but not expecting- that they’ll get today off.
{ { { { { { { { { { ~ } } } } } } } } } }
Jay is starting to lose his grip.
Kai had gotten himself under house arrest by breaking into the government building- which he neglected to tell them the location of before doing so- and since they live on the Bounty, they’re stuck grounded so that the police can make sure that Kai’s not leaving.
Also he’s been sulking the whole time.
It’s already been almost two months, but he still has another four left, and everyone on the ship is going crazy from it.
“I am this close to renting a hotel until his house arrest is over.” Nya holds up her hand so that her pointer finger and thumb are almost touching.
Cole sighs, shaking his head. “I’d join you, but at this point I’m scared of leaving him unsupervised.”
Jay laughs a little. “Honestly, what could he do that’s worse than what he’s already done?”
The two immediately snap over to looking at him.
“Are you trying to jinx it?!” Cole groans. “You know full well how crazy he can get when it comes to protecting us.”
Wincing, Jay accepts the point. “That’s fair. But I doubt he would-“
Lloyd comes running into the room. “Kai left the ship. He tied his house arrest bracelet to the roomba so it would move, and I don’t know where he went.”
Jay blinks. “I stand corrected.”
Then they’re all scrambling to their feet, rushing off to try and find the dumbass hot head that is Kai.
Cole runs outside, probably off to go look at his usual hiding places- he’s run off before, but never under house arrest.
Nya goes to her computer, most likely going to try and track his phone- that’s her usual go-to for when one of them goes off to do something stupid.
He’s not entirely sure where Lloyd’s going, but he probably has some kind of plan.
But before Jay has the chance to come up with his own, his BorgPhone rings with a number that he doesn’t recognize.
A flash of fear takes over him. Oh, Kai better not have gotten captured. What happens if he has? They might hurt him, he might go to prison, he could get into all kinds of trouble!
With shaky hands, Jay hits accept and holds the phone up to his ear.
“Hey, this is Jay Walker. Who is this and how have I ruined your life?” Somehow, he manages to keep his voice from shaking.
“It’s more of your boyfriend who’s doing that.” Sentry grumbles. “I found Kai sneaking into Borg Tower- he was trying to find more hints of ways to rescue Zane. Please come and get him before he gets caught- I shoved him in a back room to keep people from finding him, but he’ll probably find a way out pretty soon.”
Jay curses softly. “Of course he did. Okay, I’m on my way.” He starts to head out even as he speaks, silently complaining about how reckless his boyfriend can be. He loves him, he really does, but sometimes- like now- he really wants to slap him.
It takes him around fifteen minutes to make it to Borg Tower, and when he steps inside, Sentry is standing right next to the door.
“He escapes from the room, so I put him in the timeout corner. He’s handcuffed to the wall, but I’m pretty sure that-“
Jay blinks a few times. “Wh- why do you have a timeout corner? And why does it have handcuffs?”
Sighing, Sentry shakes his head. “The white nindroids were created recently and are pretty immature,” he explains, “so a timeout is a pretty effective way to get them to behave. The handcuffs are for when they still don’t listen- now come on, we should hurry before he finds a way out.”
So Jay lets the nindroid lead him through the tower, trying to stop the way he’s nervously jittering. It- it’ll be fine, it’ll be totally and completely fi-
They come into a back room where Kai is in a chair and in handcuffs that are attached to the wall, forcing his hands above his head.
Jay glances over at Sentry. “Uh-“
“We have two timeout corners. This one is for the nindroids who cause trouble repeatedly. Or in this case, the ninja who does that.” He glares at Kai, but the red ninja looks utterly unapologetic.
“I need to rescue Zane. And you didn’t have to call someone to pick me up, I’m not some child in a school’s principal’s office.” Kai huffs, shifting in his bonds.
Jay starts to try and tell him that he’s totally acting like he’s just got his parents called in an office, but Sentry shakes his head, and speaks up.
“There’s a back door you can take him out so that he doesn’t get caught, but keep a better handle on him next time. We really don’t need him getting an actual prison sentence.”
Glancing at his boyfriend, Jay thinks for a moment, trying to figure out if he’d actually be able to get Kai out of here without being seen.
“I’m going to call Cole,” he decides, “he’ll be able to carry him out of here.”
“I can walk!” Kai protests, looking betrayed. “I don’t need to be carried-“
Sentry nods. “Probably a good idea. He might put up a fight on the way out.”
“I can hear you, you know! I’m right here.” Kai sounds annoyed and frustrated, and Jay sighs, feeling himself cave a little.
“It’s okay, Fire-Hazard. I’ll talk Nya out of murdering you, so long as you promise to actually stay on the ship this time.”
At his words, Kai pales a little. It’s clear he hadn’t thought about how his sister would react to him running off.
“I’ll behave.” He grumbles, clearly unhappy about it. “But I can’t just do nothing.”
With a start, Jay realizes that he’s right. The reason that he keeps doing stupid things is because he needs to be doing something to help- if he doesn’t, he’s going to feel like he’s failing Zane.
So they need to come up with something that he could work on, some way he could get them closer to freeing him.
Maybe if he was working on part of the plan…
Jay looks over at Sentry. “We’re looking for legal loopholes right now, right? Could he help you try and find some? From the computer on the ship, I mean.”
Kai perks up a little, and Sentry looks like he’s considering the idea.
“Will that keep him out of trouble?” He sounds hesitant, but Jay quickly nods.
“He just wants to help, give him a way to do that and he’ll be fine.”
The nindroid looks over at Kai. “Is he seriously going to be able to look through legal documents for longer than thirty seconds?” He sounds unamused, but he pauses again when he sees Kai’s determined expression.
“I looked through a ton of them to break in. I’ll do whatever it takes to get him out.”
After hesitating for only a moment longer, Sentry nods. “Alright,” he agrees, “I’ll send over some I haven’t gotten to yet.”
So Jay ends up only calling Cole so that he can let the others know that Jay found him, and Kai actually walks back without putting up a fuss.
It takes a bit of work to get him on the ship stealthily enough so that any potential cameras couldn’t see, but they manage it.
However, when they step onto the bridge, the three others look annoyed beyond belief.
After a pause, Kai chuckles nervously. “On a scale of one to ten, how much trouble am I in?”
“Eleven.” Nya’s smile expresses anything but happiness, and Cole and Lloyd look only slightly less upset.
Somehow, Jay manages to uphold his promise, talking Nya out of giving Kai some five hour lecture that would probably make him regret existing.
Lloyd grabs Stabby and re-attaches the house arrest bracelet, and it’s not long after that the red ninja is in front of the computer, having about seven files open that he’s comparing and researching.
Later, Cole comes up to him. “The research thing was good thinking; it’ll keep him distracted while still allowing him to help.”
Jay flashes him a smile. “What can I say? I actually have good ideas sometimes.”
Cole smirks. “That’s debatable.”
“You literally just told me that I had a good idea.” Jay reminds with his own grin.
With an overly thoughtful expression, Cole strokes his chin. “Did I? I don’t remember that.”
“Wow, and here I was with the idea that elephants never forget.” Jay snarks back, barely containing his snickers.
Mock gasping, Cole puts a hand over his chest. But as he starts to teasingly reply, his smile fades, and he looks down.
“... Zane loved mock arguments.” He murmurs softly, pain suddenly written on his face.
Jay feels his own cheerfulness drain a little. “It took a while to teach him how, but he got pretty good at them.” He quietly agrees as he remembers the difficulty Zane had used to have with humor.
“He got pretty good at them though.” Cole’s smile is more pained now, but it’s there.
With a soft chuckle, Jay nods. “Absolutely trashed us with them.”
But then the emotions are over taking him, and Jay feels himself shaking at the thought of his titanium boyfriend. Who knows what they’re doing to him, from Kai’s recount they���ve been outright torturing him, he-
Cole puts a hand on his shoulder. “It’ll be okay.” He speaks softly, and his voice is uncertain, as though he’s not really sure of himself, even though it sounds like he’s trying to keep it steady.
Jay nods weakly, feeling tears burn at the back of his eyes. “It’ll be okay.” He repeats softly, desperately trying to believe the words.
In the end, Cole has to coax both him and Kai into bed with gentle reassurances and promises that he sounds slightly unsure of, but at this point, Jay’s too desperate to think about how he might be wrong.
He just wants Zane back… is that really too much to ask for?
Apparently, because it doesn’t seem that they’ll be getting him back anytime soon.
That night, even when cuddled in the arms of his other boyfriends, he cries himself to sleep.
Zane will be okay. He has to be okay.
Jay won’t be able to take it if he’s not.

Whumptober 1: Let’s Hang Out Sometime
Waking up Restrained
Happy spooky season! We’re kicking off Whumptober with a good old dose of Jayngst, because it’s about time I wrote for Desolation. (Side note: some of the lines may seem familiar because they were directly pulled from @razzle-zazzle‘s fic: Blood. This is because that happens directly after this.)
Summary: Jay wakes up in a dark room, restrained. He has a bad time.
Trigger Warnings: kidnapping, beating, burning, implied drugging, torture
801 words
Jay woke up with a loud ringing resonating in his ears. He groaned, finding it hard to care all that much about the handcuffs biting into his wrists. He was so tired, he just wanted to sleep.
He needed to get up… he needed to keep looking…
Looking for what exactly? He could figure it out after a short nap. He was so tired.
He needed to get back, Lloyd needed him.
He fluttered his eyes open, staring at the wall. The room was dark, and it smelled like clorox.
What…?
He wanted to go back to sleep.
It was dark and cold and he couldn’t feel his lightning coursing through his veins. 
He didn’t have any energy. He just wanted to sleep.
It was a type of exhaustion that he wasn’t sure he’d ever felt before. His body was empty, his head was numb, were and himself even one in the same? He couldn’t bring himself to care that he was lying on the dirty floor of a dark basement.
That seemed important.
But he could worry about it after he slept.
Why couldn’t he go back to sleep? He was so tired, but it was so cold, and his head hurt so much.
He wanted a blanket and a bed and peace of mind.
His brain was acting all slow and fuzzy, but the discomfort and the fear lingered in there somewhere.
He groaned again, trying to find a comfortable position to fall back asleep in with his hands attached to a pipe or something behind him. There wasn’t much that was comfortable.
He kept fidgeting to the best of his ability, the fuzziness slowly going away as time passed. His head swam violently every time he shifted, but even so, he couldn’t make himself sit still. He needed to know why he was here, and more importantly, he needed to figure out how to get out.
What must have been hours passed in dead silence, the only sound being that horrible ringing in Jay’s ears.
Until he heard footsteps.
He didn’t bother to sit up, staying slumped over in the sort of not so painful position he’d managed to find. 
The door swung open.
A man came in from the other side, approaching and observing Jay with interest. Uncomfortable now, Jay sat up awkwardly.
The man crouched down, taking Jay’s face and roughly turning it side to side, then all but forcing his mouth open and examining his teeth. It was kind of like the most creepy dentist appointment ever.
Jay tried to jerk away, but the man’s grip was firm. 
“Hmm, let’s see,” he muttered, now tracing his fingers over Jay’s chest, and before Jay could do anything about it, the man punched him in the jaw.
Jay cried out, his vision filling with black specks as his head swam. 
His captor grinned. “Yes, I think you’ll do just fine,” he said.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Jay asked, yelping when he was hit again. His captor just smiled wider.
Jay jerked at the restraints, hissing at the metal biting into his wrists. “What do you want?” He demanded. “Let me go!”
The man only laughed. “I’d say that it’d hurt less if you don’t struggle,” His captor bared his teeth. “But we both know it’ll hurt regardless.” Jay’s captor stood up then, pacing back and forth.
“See, I’m a very audio-sensitive person. The little sounds people make do so much more for me than words ever will. And the sounds a person makes when they’re hurt?” There was a gleam in his eye, a kind of hunger that made Jay uneasy.
“Those are the best sounds of all.”
Jay tensed, panic beginning to truly set in. That… didn’t sound good.
“You know what I’ve been just dying to try?” He asked, pulling a lighter from his pocket.
He pressed it against Jay’s chest, flameless. If he wasn’t going to burn him then what—?
Jay screamed at the sudden sensation of fire against his skin.
“That’s right,” his captor said, grinning. “Keep singing for me.”
More burns followed, each one similar to the first. Jay grit his teeth, trying his best to keep quiet, if only to spite this bastard, but the startle of the pain, not to mention the pain itself, was making it difficult.
He’d always hated fire.
His captor’s eyes narrowed as Jay finally managed to get a handle on his cries.
He hit Jay in the chest, hard.
When that didn’t work, he hit him again, this time right over that first burn.
Jay screamed.
His captor smiled again. “There, now, that’s better.” He pressed his hand against the wound roughly, Jay whimpering in pain.
“I have a feeling you and I are going to have a lot of fun together.”

Did someone say continue projecting More Ace Kai headcannons!?!?!?
-Kai had no idea what anybody was on about when he was younger. If any of the other boys pointed out who was "hot" he'd just agree. When they'd ask who he'd like he'd mostly just say girls that were nice or he respected. He convinced himself that was what a crush was.
-Kai was desperate for a girlfriend. He figured once he got one it would all magically make sense. 
-He just about ripped his hair out when he dated Skylor and nothing was making any more sense than it did before.
-Kai tried dating Skylor twice. Both times he ended things because he knew it wasn't working right. She was really patient with him and let him figure himself out. He feel so much guilt for the whole thing and is grateful Skylor was so nice about all of it. He knows he hurt her, but continuing to pretend wouldn't have been better.
-He know she feels....something....sometimes. He has no idea what to label himself as except ace (demi? grey? lith? flux? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) It bothered him at first that he couldn't pin it down, but he stopped stressing about it as he accepted it more.
-He overdid it with Skylor at first because she was the first person he felt anything like sexual desire towards. (he thought "this is it! This is 'The Right Person' I've always been told about!)
-He still loves Skylor, and she sometimes makes him feel *vague gesture* but it's not a reliable reaction, and it doesn't even happen enough for him to really inspect the feeling.
-It scared the crap out of him when he realized. He didn't want to "come out" to anyone. He tried to convince himself he was making it up.
-It bothered him for about a week before Lloyd, who had long since figured out something was wrong, demanded an answer.
-Kai had to force himself to say it out loud.
-After he told Lloyd he decided to tell Nya, and then it wasn't as scary anymore.
-Like I said before, Kai knows he's attractive and there are plenty of girls that would die to date him. He felt so guilty for a long time. He didn't want to change himself, he liked how he looked, but he also hated breaking anyone's heart.
-Kai struggles with the fear of leading people on. (hence the very abrupt end to the flirting habit) The other ninja help remind him that it's not his fault if he's attractive. If he makes his lack of interest clear, nobody has any right to be upset with him about it, no matter the reason. It's not any different than Jay having a girlfriend. 
-When he went public, he was very vocal about it. Part of it was his fear of leading people on, he wanted to advertise it almost like a disclaimer. The other part was false bravo. He was scared and confused and covered it with confidence.
-Lloyd thinks he might be ace too, but isn't sure if it's a tomorrow's tea thing that'll go away when he gets older or not. He doesn't want to claim it publicly, but Kai has given him express permission to say he's ace, even if he changes his mind later.
-Jay started tentatively making jokes soon after Kai came out. He was scared he'd offend Kai, but Kai loved them.
-Joking actually helped Kai a lot with getting more comfortable with being ace. Made it more normal.
-Kai gets caught between "why are you telling the ace this?" and "I don't want to hear that about my sister!" jokes/excuses when Jay comes to him for advise with Nya
-Kai uses his Ace Status as a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free-Card whenever they start talking about relationships and ....other things.
-One of the only times Lloyd will, out loud, refer to himself as ace, is following Kai to Nope Out of the conversation. (They go get ice-cream and talk about super heroes instead)
Thank-you! I'll be here until I get my act together! (I'm never doing that.)

3. 6. 11 for sfw. 3 and 7 nsfw with dahlia and the seeds. any or all
I choooose all, cause I am a seed thot and it be like that. Plus, I feel super bad choosing one over the others, even though they’re fictional, I don’t wanna hurt their feelings. 
Also these mostly assume to be like, in wholesome, no cult AU, cause the whole end of the world, noncon, stockholm syndrome, trapped in a bunker, kind of fucks up the chance for a lot of soff in canon
3. Who fixes the vehicle after a breakdown?
Dahlia and Jacob would be the two of the family to take care of vehicles when they break down. Dahlia is the most mechanically inclined, with her experience with motorcycles and helping Lloyd fix up vehicles. Jacob as the oldest was more often on the farm of the foster family made to help repair equipment and vehicles, usually with lots of screaming and violence if he messed anything up. So, he doesn’t have as fond memories of repairing things. 
Faith and John would call Dahlia or Jacob, or a mechanic, if a car broke down. I feel like Faith never got her license even and one he was adopted, while the Duncans failed in every other aspect of parenting, he never had to worry about fixing his own car. 
Joseph is decent with his hands and isn’t completely lost when it comes to fixing up small things, but generally he’s better off leaving it to Jacob and Dahlia. 
6. Going out to eat: Who pays? Who orders the most food? And who has dessert?
John always offers to pay, without fail. He was taught for years basically that money is the way to show affection and love, so regardless of if it’s him dragging Dahlia out to a nice fancy dinner or the entire family is out at some cheap family joint.
Dahlia usually offers to pay no matter who’s she’s with or to split it, but if they’re insistent or she’s in a kind of mopey mood, she’ll take offers to pay it. Which John, Jacob, and Joseph always do offer when it’s one on one, because they’re older and as much as they know they don’t have to, some of those gender roles pop up in their head of men should pay. It tends to be more even between her and Faith since there’s less of that, Dahlia even probably treats Faith a little bit more, because it makes her feel good and Faith is the only Seed who doesn’t act weird about it in some way. 
Most food is a tie between Jacob and Dahlia, if they’re both going wild.they can eat a lot. Jacob is a bigger guy and isn’t ashamed of his appetite, food is important to him in a lot of ways. Him and Dahlia both have a history of having to go without, so they tend to want to get their fill and then some when they can. However, Dahlia is definitely more of a dessert person than Jacob. He doesn’t know if it’s age or what, but that stuff is just too sweet for him. 
Faith is the kind of person who oohs and awws over desserts on the menu before she even orders and swears to wants this cake or that pie. But halfway through her entree she’s full and never ends up actually ordering her dessert. Some day Faith, some day. 
John and Joseph both tend to be the most mindful of what they eat out of the entire family. Joseph like healthy natural foods because he wants to take care of himself, so he doesn’t indulge too much. Definitely a person who’d consider like just fruit a dessert. John is a bit more into health for vanitys sake. He wants to look good, plain and simple. 
11. Baths or showers? Together or separate? Any bubbles or bubble fights?
Dahlia on her own is generally a shower person, she plays some music and sings as she gets clean. 
Jacob is a shower person, in and out, he’s there to get clean and move on. Jacob and Dahlia don’t really bathe together, if they do it’s after some pride swallowing and asking by Dahlia. Though it’s not unusual, after a while in the relationship, for if they catch the other showering to just step in and join. Jacob will make some justification of it being practical, but he just likes the closeness of it. 
Joseph is typically a shower person, but his pick of all else is using like natural springs and water falls, cause he’s that kind of hippie. It feels much more calming and relaxing to be surrounded by nature as he cleans himself. 
Joseph loves bathing with Dahlia, he’s soft and kind, just wants to wash over every inch of her and hold her as close as possible. He doesn’t like too many bubbles, though occasionally he can be more playful with it. But he likes seeing her through the water.
John is one of those weird cold shower people cause it’s good for the skin, Dahlia thinks he’s nuts. But, he will also take bougie hot baths when he feels like he wants to pamper himself and relax. 
John would shamelessly ask Dahlia to join him in the bath and shower, he’d also jump into her shower if he catches her showering. He sees no reason not to jump at the chance to be wet and naked with her. He definitely indulges in some bubbles, though he mostly likes an intimate atmosphere in his baths with her, she likes to pick fights and will fling bubbles at him. And he always rises to the bait. 
Faith is the biggest bath fan of the family, she likes tons of bubbles, nice scented goodies, and just melting into the warm water. Showers are just if she’s exhausted and wants a quick clean. 
Faith absolutely loves taking baths with Dahlia, lots of bubbles, any bubble fights are very teasing and playful. Faith liking to gather handfuls and blow them at Dahlia, making her swat them away like a cat. 
NSFW UNDER CUT (this got long)
3. Any kinks they clash on?
There’s not a lot of kinks that she clashes with with any of the Seeds, other than hair pulling. Jacob and John both like pulling hair; they’re rougher with Dahlia than Faith or Joseph. But for Dahlia having her hair pulled is actually triggering and upsetting for her, because of previous abuse. So, that’s a clash that’s usually worked around with just pressing on the head, neck, or ya know a leash/collar if need be. 
Dahlia doesn’t a hundred percent get Joseph’s foot thing (Joseph has a foot thing, fight me), but it’s a non issue. She may not get why he like touching her feet or having her foot on his dick, but hey, it makes him feel good and she likes doing that. 
 Faith and Dahlia I don’t feel have any major clashes or even many semi clashes. I feel like maybe Faith is a bit more comfy with being out in the open, in nature during sex, where as Dahlia is a bit more shy. But, that shyness still leads to some…excitement for it on Dahlia’s behalf. 
7. Genital headcanons?
I can’t describe genitals
This is like the hardest thing for me to do, I remember when I did NSFW ABC’s I was struggling
Jacob has the biggest dick, big and thick. Some prominent veins. I feel like he does some shaving and trimming of his pubic hair, nothing crazy but he likes feeling like he’s doing at least some taking care of himself. His pubes are very thick, course ginger hair, a few shades darker than his head of hair. 
Joseph I feel is longer than average but closer to average in thickness  ( still bit more than average cause they all have big dicks okay, Im fantasizing let me live), i feel like he probably does the least in terms of shaving/trimming down there, cause hippie boy is hippie. It still doesn’t grow crazy and he still does some maintenance. I mean his beard isn’t insanely long or anything, so I presume he likes some trimming and care put into his appearance. Plus he just doesn’t have super crazy body hair, some kind over average thickness dark brown hair. 
John isn’t much longer than the average but is on the thicker side definitely. (I hate describing dicks and vaginas, iTS SO WEIRD) In terms of maintenance, John had the biggest difficulty growing his beard, which was frustrating, but he’s thankful for slower body hair growth when it comes to his pubes. He trims and maintains the most when it comes to the bros, the vain baby he his, he likes it neat and well taken care of. What he has is thick and dark brown. 
Faith has a very cute vagina (that sounds weird, but ehhhh) you can just see the inner lips through the outer lips, a kinda small clit that swells and peeks out when she’s turned on. Soft pale and pink skin. Her pubes are pretty well trimmed and shaved down. Sometimes she shaves it down completely, she likes feeling neat and clean, but sometimes, she can’t be bothered. It’s thin and the same sandy color of her hair. 
Dahlia also has a cute vagina (I DONT KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE PUSSYS), she has more compact and closed outer lips, very little of the inner lips or clit showing, if any. The vulva is soft and a little chubby, puffy, squishy, idk the best word. Her natural tawny tan skin and a bit of deeper redder pink to her sex than Faith’s more light pink. Her pubic hair is thick dark brown nearly black and she does trim and shave, but still keeps a patch of hair there. She mostly focuses on it not itching or getting caught in zippers. She feels weird being completely bald down their though. She did it once and it was just itchy razor burn as it grew out.

This is kind of a vent story, but it’s still a story that I thought I’d share. I got bored, and didn’t feel like using my characters, so I used Morro and Zane. It felt fitting considering Morro’s abandonment issues. Thank you for your time. I hope you enjoy. 
Morro was pacing about in his room, his abilities to create wind had been acting up the last few days. He knew why, he just didn’t care enough to talk to people about it. He couldn’t trust them; he couldn’t trust anybody. What was different now from back then?
              What changed? Nothing changed, Wu was still the bastard he always would be. Lloyd was scared of him. Kai was an asshole. Jay was scared of him too, and Cole didn’t know how to feel. Then there was Zane. Zane was sweet, always. He was loving and kind and was the best boyfriend a man could ask for, but there was something about that. Morro was needy, and needed constant affection. Zane hadn’t the time for him lately, hadn’t the time for his neediness.
              Morro yearned to tell Zane that he needed more attention, but he was too scared. He didn’t want Zane to think he was too needy and get rid of him. Not like Wu had done. Not like his family had done. It wasn’t like he was an important person. He was just some villain turned good by the love of a cute android. He hated the way he was. He hated how needy he was.
It wasn’t like it was something that he could control very well. No, he was very needy due to being abandoned so much. He had abandonment issues up the ass. Though he did like taking things there, that wasn’t what he wanted there. He was currently pacing about his room, chewing on his nails as he thought over the issue he was having.
There was a tight feeling in his chest, a feeling of longing. He missed when Zane gave him a lot of attention, but unlike him, Zane was a public figure. Zane was a busy man. He had to go to things. But Morro worried, what if Zane was cheating on him? What if he wasn’t good enough? He constantly worried about Zane telling him that he loved him… but he didn’t want him anymore. That he would get rid of him too. What reason did Zane have to keep him after all? Was it pity? Was it actual love? Morro didn’t know. Morro was scared though. So very scared.
Morro continued to pace about his room in the monastery. His foot fall was the only thing that could be heard. He was starting to tear up. Zane was supposed to be back by now. What if he really was cheating? Morro remembered that Zane also really liked Pixal once upon a time. Maybe they were getting back together behind his back.
He pulled on his hair and let out a frustrated screech. He was glad no one else was around to hear him. Everyone else had gone out, not a soul decided to tell him about it though. He was so wound up; he was about ready to explode.
“Morro?” Zane’s smooth voice made him feel sick.
“Yeah?” Morro turned to face the blushing android.
“Are you alright? I heard you scream.”
“When did you get back?”
“A few minutes ago, did you not notice?”
There Zane was, making him feel dumb for noticing something. He snorted, he felt irritation rising in his stomach. Anger was a secondary emotion, not that Morro knew this, and in the end, Morro felt hurt. He was angry and upset because he was scared. So scared that Zane would leave him that he was even questioning his feelings for the nindroid.
Did he love Zane? He wondered sometimes. He didn’t know anymore. He thought he did, but emotions were hard, especially love. What did love even feel like? Was it that high that he originally felt around Zane? That feeling had faded a while ago.
Morro looked away, before he continued to pace about.
“Is something on your mind, Morro? Are you alright? Do you have a fever?” Zane’s eyebrows knit together.
“No, it’s fine. I’m fine.” Morro replied. In the end, he figured this was his fault. His fault for being the way he was, his fault for always messing things up. That’s why everyone left. He always screwed up. It made him yearn for someone who would stay, but he knew better. No one would ever stay. They would say they would but they wouldn’t.
“That is not true, why are you lying?” Zane bit his lip, he glanced to the door before turning his attention back to Morro.
Morro was beginning to shake now. He didn’t want to hurt Zane’s feelings but this was tearing him apart inside. He figured it didn’t matter. Wu should have let him drown. Wu should have never picked him up off the street. He was a fuck up, a screw up that only made mistakes. Hell, his own death was a mistake. He simply miscalculated something, and that was the cause of his untimely demise.
“It’s nothing, Zane, just leave me alone.” Morro grumbled.
“I cannot assist if you continue to push me away.” Zane sighed.
“I’m not pushing you away! I just-just need some time to think!” Morro snapped.
“Oh.” Zane reeled back a bit.
There it was, Zane was still scared of him to some degree. Or maybe he was just worried about pushing Morro over edge.
“Please… When you are ready, tell me what’s wrong.” Zane turned and began walking to the door.
Morro fidgeted in spot for a minute or two, “Fine! You want to know what’s wrong?! I don’t trust you!” He hissed.
Zane froze up, turning back to Morro, his eyes wide.
“I don’t trust you.” The tears that had been welling in Morro’s eyes spilled over. “I can’t trust you. You’re just going to abandon me again! Hell, you’ve even started showing signs that you’ll do it! You’re just like everyone else! I thought things would be different!”
“Morro-” Zane began.
“No!” Morro snarled. “No! You shut up and listen!”
“Morro, I’ve-”
“I can’t ever trust you.” Morro was beginning to pace back and forth. There was a pit in the bottom of his stomach as his chest felt like it was being constricted. “You’re just going to leave me like everyone does! Everyone always leaves! So just go already! You’ve got Pixal! You don’t need me!”
“Morro-”
“You’ve been doing the same things everyone else who’s ever gotten rid of me is doing! You keep making excuses as to why, but I know why! You’re cheating on me! Or you just don’t love me anymore! Just go ahead, say it already!” Morro was starting to shout.
“Morro, I love y-”
“No. No, you don’t. You’re just a liar. Like everyone else. You pity me. You’re only hear because you feel like if you weren’t, I’d kill myself. What reason do I have to live anyways? I’m just some villain, a bad guy! Someone who people don’t want around their kids.” He was spiraling out of control and his powers were beginning to react to the emotional turmoil inside of him.
“Please calm down.” Zane tried to approach but the wind knocked him back and over.
“Shut up!” Morro screamed, his eyes starting to glow a bit. “You’ve just been holding me back.”
The look in Zane’s eyes made Morro hurt, but he couldn’t keep living a lie.
“I don’t need you! I don’t need anyone!” Morro was pacing even faster. “Especially not ones who lie to me!”
Zane stared; his eyes wide.
“All you’ve done is lie to me.” Morro snarled. “And for that, you deserve to suffer. You shouldn’t use people!”
“I would never-”
“Yes, you would! You used me! You used me to make Pixal jealous so you could get back together with her!”
“Morro, that’s not-”
“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?” With a small flick of his wrist, his wind slammed Zane into the wall beside the door.
“If you would just let me-”
“No! I won’t listen to your lies anymore! I don’t want to be told you love me! I don’t want to be told you’ll stay because you won’t! No one does! I’m not worth it! I’m not worth anything! So, shut up!” More tears fell from Morro’s cheeks.
“Oh, Morro…” Zane sighed and tried to stand, only to be knocked over by a gust of wind.
Morro fell silent as he stared at Zane, he turned his attention to the window. He could fit through it, right? He needed to get away. To escape. He didn’t want to deal with this anymore. He couldn’t handle dealing with this anymore.
“Morro, please.” Zane was tearing up.
Morro rushed the window, pushing it up and slipping out of it. He didn’t want to be in the monastery anymore. He didn’t want to be near Zane anymore. He was tired of this all. He found his way to the stairs and ran off.  It was the only thing he could do. He didn’t need anyone. He didn’t need Zane. He had himself, and that’s all he’d ever need.
                                            The End.

terrorize y’all’s neighborhood
I can’t write short fics, you guys. I tried. 
Anyways, I know DOTD is the canon Ninjago-Halloween-equivalent thing, but I wanted to write about the ninja having a normal holiday, because in what world would Lloyd not love an opportunity to dress up and eat all the candy he wants?
(And the title is completely stolen from Thriller. Completely.)
Hope you guys are having a great holiday!
"Kai."
"Kai, look."
Kai rolls his eyes, glancing skyward briefly before turning.
Sure enough, Lloyd is holding a bloodied, rubber eyeball up to his own tightly closed one, his face screwed up in a grotesque expression. "Agh, my eye fell out!"
Kai leans one arm against the shopping cart, the other on his hip. "What did I tell you about picking stuff up we aren't gonna buy?" he says, even as he suppresses a snort.
Lloyd's expression falls, and he sticks his tongue out at him. "You're not fun," he grouses.
"I'm lots of fun," Kai says. "I'm just trying not to raise the Green Ninja to be a corrupt child criminal who steals bloody eyeballs from Walmart."
"I'm not stealing," Lloyd protests. "Look, I got it from the Halloween section, it's right there!"
Kai looks up and realizes that he has, indeed, made the crucial error of wandering into the Halloween section with Lloyd in tow, when they're only supposed to be getting a few groceries.
"Oops," he mutters.
"Oooh, look at all the fake blood they have…"
Kai quickly makes to drag Lloyd away before he's forever swallowed by aisles of plastic skeletons and cheap ghoul masks. "C'mon, bud, we've still gotta get stuff for meals," he says, as he tugs a reluctant Lloyd toward the food aisles. "We can't all eat rubber eyeballs for dinner."
"Aw, but they have so much cool stuff," Lloyd pouts, watching the Halloween aisle disappear forlornly. "What's the point of Halloween if you guys aren't even gonna let me celebrate it?"
Kai is only half-listening what Lloyd is saying, too intent on the scrawled shopping list he's got in his hand. He brings it closer to his face, squinting. Why do they keep letting Nya write the shopping lists? Her hand-writing is terrible, they should just appoint Zane as secretary from now on.
"-and that's why Halloween is clearly the best holiday in the entire world," Lloyd is still rattling on. "It's way better than those other dumb holidays, kris-ness, or whatever-"
"You mean Christmas?" Kai gapes at him. He shakes his head. "Boy, we're gonna have to change your mind on that one…"
Lloyd shakes his head. "Halloween is definitely the best, because you get to dress up and scare people, but most importantly you get-" He stops abruptly, eyes going wide as Kai desperately tries to drag them to the next aisle.
"Candy, Kai, can we stop, please, please please-"
"Lloyd, I told you, we're only here for groceries."
Lloyd groans, hanging off the shopping cart as Kai struggles to push it forward, kicking at Lloyd with his leg. "Just some of the mini snickers bars? The ones with little ghosts on them?"
"Lloyd-"
"I'll die without them."
"You've been hanging out with Jay too much," Kai huffs, dragging Lloyd up by his arm. "Look, if you're good, maybe I'll buy you a candy bar at the check-out."
Lloyd brightens immediately at that. "Okay!" He says. "What's next? Do we need cereal? 'Cause the cereal's right here. Can we get Froot Loops?"
Kai rolls his eyes, but he can't help but grin at Lloyd's enthusiasm as he practically tears down the aisle, the sleeves of Jay's old hoodie (that's still way too large for him) flopping over his hands again as he does.
The grin slides off his face as Kai glances back down at the shopping list, highly conscious of the tiny numbers Nya's scrawled at the bottom of the page. Those are painfully legible. He drags a hand over his face. They're not scrapped for money, per say, but after everything - the loss of basically all their belongings on the Bounty to the Devourer, the cost of keeping up with rent - they really do need to be keeping an eye on things, financially. They aren't terrible, but it reminds Kai uncannily of the days he spent struggling to support himself and Nya on the blacksmith shop.
It also means he can't buy Lloyd anything he wants - not even cheap little bloody eyeballs.
Kai glances over the list again, chewing on the inside of his cheek. They can't not get ibuprofen, that's a big no-go. Basic medical supplies are a must, obviously, and he can't skimp on the milk or Zane'll kill him. They could maybe skip the anxiety meds this time, but then Kai would feel awful if anyone had trouble-
"What's wrong?" Lloyd says, craning his head over Kai's arm. "Do we not have enough money? Do you owe some to somebody? Are we in trouble with the mob?"
"Are we - what?" Kai blinks. "The mob - no, Lloyd, geez. How do you even know about that?"
"Gene had an uncle in it! He said they would go yank people off the street, then they would like, steal their kidneys an' stuff if they couldn't pay you back," Lloyd says, gleefully.
Kai stares at him, mentally despairing. He finally decides to let this particular one go. "No, Lloyd," he sighs, wearily. "We're not in trouble with the mob. We're just…a little tight on stuff, right now."
Kai winces. How is he supposed to explain their financial woes to a kid? "Sorry kiddo, we probably won't be able to get those snickers today."
"It's okay," Lloyd says, with surprising nonchalance. "I know we're not super rich or anything. Stuff cost a lot. Before I was with you guys, back when I was on my own, I would try to buy food and stuff, sometimes? But it cost so much. Who even has that much money, anyways?"
Kai winces even harder, feeling the same frustrating mix of pained anger he does whenever Lloyd brings up his childhood thus far.
"-anyways, the point is, I totally get why people become bank robbers, because imagine if you had that much money, you could buy, like, so much candy-!"
"And that's our cue to check out," Kai says, a hand on Lloyd's back as he ushers him past the employee eyeing them suspiciously. "Didn't I say we were trying not to turn you into a corrupt child criminal?" he hisses.
"It was just a joke! You're never fun, geez-"
They get through the check-out line mercifully quick, and Kai's total ends up being slightly under budget, so he caves and buys them a snickers bar to split. Lloyd is seemingly pacified, so Kai decides it's a good time to bring something back up.
"Anyways, back to the whole 'we're tyrants who won't let you celebrate Halloween' thing," Kai says, as they pile the now-bagged groceries back into the shopping cart. "Where'd you get that idea? We're obviously going to celebrate. You can even go trick-or-treating with the other kids in Ninjago City, if you want. Or we can hit up Jamanaki, or Cole's hometown, I guess."
Whatever place is safest at the moment, Kai decides, as they head out of the store.
Lloyd, to his surprise, doesn't exactly look thrilled with that idea. "I dunno," he says, dully. "I don't really wanna hang out with the other kids. Can we just watch scary movies at the apartment?"
"What's wrong with the other kids?" Kai says, frowning. Lloyd isn't usually shy - maybe a little quiet around new people, but he's definitely not one to shy away from any opportunity to get candy, regardless of who's around.
Lloyd shrugs, looking down as he toes a scuff on the linoleum floor. "There's nothing wrong with them," he mutters. "It's more kinda...me."
Kai blinks, coming to a halt. "What?"
Lloyd gives a jerky little shrug. He grins up at him, a toothy one that shows his slightly too-sharp teeth, his red eyes flashing. "'Cause I'm the spawn of evil, duh, they all fear me!"
He says it brightly, still grinning fiercely, but Kai catches the slight waver in his voice, the fake edge in his smile.
Oh. Kai's heart twists.
He opens his mouth to give a rebuttal, fully prepared to insist to Lloyd that nobody even notices those things - and stops. Kai hesitates, thinking back to their trip in the store so far. You'd think, living in a place where literal snake people ran around constantly, red eyes wouldn't draw much attention. But living in a place where Garmadon is relatively well-known…
There'd been that shopper passing by who had done a double-take at Lloyd, her eyes quickly skirting away from his. Kai had shot her a death glare, and Lloyd thankfully hadn't noticed, but…still.
Kai's jaw tightens, and he feels about ready to bare his own teeth.
"You just…you just gotta show 'em it's nothing," he opts instead, trying to sound encouraging. Cole is usually much better at this positivity stuff. Or Zane. Or Jay, really, just anyone other than Kai. "Just be yourself," he finally says. "Once they actually meet you, they'll like you, no sweat."
"Just be yourself? What kind of stupid advice is that?" Lloyd glares. "You didn't even like me when you met me."
"Wha- that's not true," Kai says, frowning. "I-"
"You guys hung me from a roof!"
Kai cringes. "Ah, yeah…um….look, in hindsight, that was super uncool-"
"And then you all hated me for like, a month, until you found out I was the Green Ninja-"
"Hey, woah, now that's not true," Kai says, grabbing Lloyd's shoulders firmly, forcing him to look at him. "We definitely liked you before then, and you know it. But c'mon, Lloyd - you acted like a total brat, you know that, right?"
Lloyd huffs, but he nods, looking sour. "Yeah, yeah," he mutters. His expression falls a bit. "But…you guys are different. No one else has ever liked me. All the kids at Darkley's hated my guts."
Kai is dying, just a bit, on the inside. Like the I-Need-To-Light-Someone-On-Fire-For-This kind of dying, the kind where he goes out and does something stupid-
"Except for maybe Brad," Lloyd mutters, hand on his chin. "I think he sorta liked me, a little bit…"
Kai finally cuts in, his voice only mildly venomous. "Well, the kids at Darkley's were all little assholes-"
"Nya says you're not supposed to use that word," Lloyd says, suddenly very serious. He'd taken his "language learned at Darkley's is not acceptable language if you want dessert tonight" lecture very seriously, it appears.
Kai huffs. "Okay, those little jerks - they don't know what they're talking about. They're a bunch of brainless rock heads."
Lloyd gives a slightly happier giggle at that. "Like Cole?"
Kai gives him a side eye. "Be nice."
"Cole is way cooler than anyone at Darkley's, anyways," Lloyd amends.
"How about this," Kai says. "We all go trick-or-treating together, so if anyone decides to mess with you, I light them on fire."
Lloyd lights up brighter than the flashing electronic pumpkins next to them, and Kai mentally congratulates himself.
"For real?" Lloyd says. "You'll dress up and everything?"
"Cross my heart," Kai draws an x across his chest. "Now hop on," he says, patting the shopping cart handle. "I'll run and push us across the parking lot."
Lloyd whoops, hopping up on the cart.
"Okay," he says, as Kai puts one foot up. "I lied. You're sometimes fun."
"Oh, just sometimes, huh," Kai grins.
"On weekends, and holidays, and-"
Kai never does learn when else he's fun, because Lloyd is too busy laughing as they careen down the parking lot, shopping cart rattling loudly in their wake.
******
Nya thinks them all trick-or-treating a great idea, and she claims that she can make fake blood all on her own - so by the time Zane agrees with her, nobody stands a snowball's chance in hell of saying no to that particular team-up of puppy eyes.
Cole tries arguing that they don't have costumes, until Jay wickedly reminds him that they've still got the pirate outfits from the whole thing with Captain Soto and his men - but by that point, Cole isn't resisting much anyways. Lloyd's excitement is infectious, and it's fun to celebrate holidays with a family this big.
It's something none of them are quite used to, but it's welcome nonetheless.
"We're only sticking to this neighborhood, okay?" Cole tells them, for the hundredth time. "It'll gonna be crowded enough that I doubt anyone will notice it's us, and they're running a haunted house in the middle, so-"
"A haunted house?" Lloyd says, looking up from where he's finishing off the blood splatters on his own costume. "Can I take back what I said about Ninjago City being lame? This is awesome."
Lloyd, economically, has decided to as a ghost, which only requires Nya's old bedsheet, eyeholes, and a good deal of homemade fake blood splattered over it.
"I've gotta be a scary ghost," Lloyd tells Jay, seriously. "The more blood, the better."
"You got it, kid," Jay says, who's getting pretty liberal with the blood himself.
"You're a pirate, Jay, not a zombie," Zane says, ducking the drops of red paint that go flying.
"A zombie pirate," Kai offers.
"A zirate," Jay grins. Cole groans.
Nya's the last to dress up, and she's ended up going as a vampire, to Lloyd's eternal delight.
"You look like me!" he says excitedly, as Nya gives him a sharp-toothed grin.
"Yup," she says, running her tongue over the plastic fangs and making a face. "They feel kinda weird, because they're just lame fakes, but they look super cool, right?"
Lloyd's own fangs (which is a generous term) are tiny in comparison, of course, so they really look absolutely nothing like each other, but the megawatt grin he's got on - Nya's playing the long game here, and Kai has to respect her for that.
This means he's gotta get those snickers bars with the little ghosts on them later, though.
******
Trick-or-treating ends up being a lot more fun than Kai had been expecting - then again, he's never really been himself that he can remember, so maybe it's a new experience for all of them.
Well, except Jay and Cole. They're both far too invested in making sure they hit every single house possible.
Kai grins as he watches them head back from their latest house - Lloyd makes the cutest little terror of a ghost he's ever seen, swamped in the sheet as he is. Albeit a very bloody ghost, fake blood dripped gruesomely all over him. But he seems happy enough, flapping his sheet-covered arms around at anyone who dares get near them.
Well, he had been. Lloyd had discovered, much to his dismay, that it's almost impossible to eat candy with a sheet draped over his face - though there were an amusing few minutes where he had tried vainly to shove several Starbursts through the eyeholes at once. He's finally given up and shoved the sheet back over his head, where it drapes over him like a very bloody cape as he surveys his bag of candy. He's beaten them all by a ridiculously large margin, but that's just because they're all suckers who are slipping half their own candy into his bag the entire night.
"Hey, you got any chocolate you wanna share?" Cole says, reaching his hand toward Lloyd's bag.
Lloyd opens his mouth and snaps his teeth together. "I'll bite you," he threatens. "Like a shark."
"Ooh, Lloyd the Fangfish," Cole pretends to shudder. "Watch out, he's got rabies."
"I do not," Lloyd huffs, but he grudgingly hands Cole one of his Kit-Kats.
"Don't eat too much in one go," Zane reminds him. "You don't want to make yourself sick."
"Aw, c'mon Zane, it's Halloween," Jay says, through a mouthful of his own candy. "Lighten up."
"Hey, Zane can't help being such a mom," Kai says, slinging his arm around him. Zane shrugs at him good-naturedly, not hard enough to actually shake him off. "One of us has to be."
Zane rolls his eyes long-sufferingly. The moon dips behind a cluster of clouds, darkening the streets a bit, and Kai's about to suggest they head home - when a voice echoes across the street.
"Lloyd - hey, Lloyd!"
Lloyd's head snaps up. "Brad?" he says, almost incredulously, as the boy runs up to them, tugging on the hood of his own costume.
Kai stiffens, and he's distinctly aware of Nya giving the kid the stink-eye where she stands off to the side. Sure, Lloyd kind-of made-up with his friends after they lured them all to Darkley's and tried to re-evil-brainwash him, but years of being demon brats don't just go away (look at Lloyd). That, and Lloyd's words from earlier are still pretty fresh in his mind.
Kai narrows his own eyes. Lloyd can handle himself against one little tyke, but just in case…Kai isn't too opposed to shoving some kids in a trash can tonight.
Lloyd and Brad have gone quiet, carefully eyeing each other. Kai holds his breath as they size each other up. Brad was the one Lloyd said might have liked him, right? Maybe this can work in his favor, then. If Lloyd can just be chill for five seconds, then maybe-
"Your fake blood is lame," Lloyd finally says. Nya smacks a hand against her head.
Apparently, it's the right thing to say when you're an ex-evil hellion of a kid, though, because Brad immediately relaxes, jutting his lip out in a half-pouting scowl.
"Is not. Where'd you get yours, anyways?" He gives the ninja a wide-eyed glance. "Did you get it from somebody they killed?" he whispers.
Zane sputters as Cole claps a hand over his mouth, holding back snickers. Lloyd rolls his eyes.
"Nah, they'd never actually kill somebody. They're good guys, remember? Nya - that's Nya, by the way! - she made it."
"Cool," Brad says, looking a little less nervous. "Hey, Gene's over at the playground - wanna help scare him? We still owe him for the fake spider thing, right?"
"Oh - uh, yeah, obviously," Lloyd says, and Kai almost snorts at the gleam in his eye. Gee, you spend all this time trying to reform a kid.
The two fall into easy conversation - mostly plotting an unfortunate Gene's demise - as if they'd never been strained at all, and Kai watches as Lloyd runs off with him to the other kids, feeling a little abandoned and a lot protective.
"Just one little hair," he says to Nya. "I'll just singe one off."
"Kai, he's his friend, look," Nya sighs, gesturing at Lloyd and Brad where they're now tearing around the playground with several other kids (who are, no doubt, equal hellions). "They're just having fun."
"Yeah, well, I don't trust 'em."
"Well, Lloyd can always blast them across town with an energy burst, if they give him any trouble," Jay says, tossing a chocolate bar at Cole.
Zane frowns at him. "That's…not exactly the use of power we should be teaching him."
"What, you don't want Lloyd to protect himself from bullies?"
Zane considers the point. "Perhaps, if the situation called for it…"
"Great!" Jay stands up, linking his arm with Zane. "Then who's up for the haunted house with me?"
Cole takes a step back. "Nuh-uh, you know how I am with creepy houses. I don't do that kind of stuff-"
"You do with us!" Nya says cheerfully, grabbing one arm while Kai wrestles the other. Cole sputters indignantly as they drag him along. "Come on, let's see if Lloyd and his little demon gang wanna join."
******
"Welp!" Jay throws the door open with unnecessary dramatics as they pile back into the apartment. "We're banned for life. I hope you guys are happy."
"Hey, I wasn't the one who drop-kicked the chainsaw actor," Kai mutters.
Cole flushes. "I'm a ninja, I can't help it - it was reflex!""
"Was the high-pitched screaming reflex?" Jay says. Cole elbows him in the gut, and Jay snatches the candy bar from his hand in retaliation. Cole gives an indignant yelp.
"Hey! That was my last chocolate bar!"
Nya roll her eyes as she squeezes past Jay, who's loudly chewing Cole's candy bar in his face. Lloyd totters in behind her, half-buried in the pile of candy he's amassed in his bag. He's giggling manically, and the look in his eyes is genuinely more terrifying than anything Kai's ever seen.
"Pace yourself on that candy, alright?" Kai says, eyeing him. "I don't wanna wake up to you puking your guts out tonight."
"Nuh-uh," Lloyd says, through a mouthful of taffy. "I don' ge' sick from candy. S'impossible."
"That's what you said the last time," Cole says, snatching the bag from Lloyd's hand and ignoring his cry of displeasure. "That's enough for tonight. You can eat yourself sick again in the morning."
Nya strides by them, falling onto the couch next to Kai with a a thwump. Kai watches in amusement as she rubs a hand across her eye, smearing mascara and eyeliner across her cheek in a raccoon-like smudge. Nya notices his stare, glancing at her hand and huffing.
"Remind me not to wear costume makeup again," she mutters, as Kai snorts. "At least I didn't ruin it for the picture."
She digs into her bag, pulling out a slightly-rumpled but still glossy photograph.
"Not that it matters," Nya continues. "This is the worst picture of us I've ever seen." She makes a face, staring at the picture the workers at the haunted house had snapped of them before they went in.
Kai shifts on the couch so he's looking over Nya's shoulder, squinting at the photo. "Is that supposed to be Zane?" he says, pointing at the blurry figure on the right.
"May…be?" Nya says. "At least you turned out alright."
Kai grins at where he's taking up half the picture, Lloyd wrapped in a chokehold around his neck that could be considered a hug if generous, both of them grinning wildly.
"Someone's gotta bring the beautiful," Kai says. He looks up to where Lloyd is being accosted by Cole, having somehow gotten his hands on yet another chocolate bar.
"Lloyd, I said that's enough. Lloyd, don't - no! Stop!"
Lloyd's hand stills, the chocolate bar hovering inches from his mouth.
"Put it down," Cole hisses. The chocolate bar moves half an inch closer. "Lloyd! No!"
Lloyd shoves the chocolate in his mouth before Cole can blink. "Lloyd!"
Lloyd springs from the chair, cackling wildly as he runs. Cole tears after him, seething. "I'll use you as a toothbrush for the Ultradragon, you pint-sized punk-"
"I'm surprised Sensei Wu hasn't come in and killed us yet," Jay says, flopping down on the rug below Kai and Nya, fumbling with the remote.
"He went out for the evening," Zane says. "Which means you can scream as loudly as you want over the movie."
Jay chucks a wrapper at Zane's head. He snatches it easily, tossing it back at Jay. Their worn TV finally flickers to life just as Cole and Lloyd finally wind down, Lloyd looking a lot less gleeful with his decision.
"O-oh, too much candy," Lloyd moans, clambering onto the couch next to Kai.
"You puke on me, I'm tossing you off the roof," Kai says, but he wraps an arm around him nonetheless, pulling Lloyd against his side.
"No you won't," Lloyd yawns, eyelids already fluttering as the movie starts. "You'd miss me too much. Wouldn't ever have any fun without me."
"Oh, I wouldn't?"
"Nope. I gotta…keep you from getting boring."
"No worries on that one," Kai says, grinning. He bites back his own yawn, settling further into the couch as Lloyd nods off, curling up against his side. "No worries at all."
Lloyd is soundly asleep against his side in seconds, snoring softly. Kai's getting all sorts of looks from Jay and Cole, but he masterfully ignores them - for now. Nya's taken to nodding off on his other side, so he's kinda sibling-sandwiched at the moment. Upsetting them isn't worth putting Jay in a headlock tonight.
"Here," Nya suddenly whispers over the movie, waving the picture up at him from where she's using his shoulder as a pillow. "Wanna put it in your modeling portfolio?"
Kai maturely sticks his tongue out at her, but he still snatches the picture. "Nah, but I'll keep it as a reminder of what massive dorks you all are."
They settle back to watching the movie, and he glances at the picture again. It's a pretty cute one - not that he's gonna admit that. It's a keeper, at least. They really don't have a lot of pictures of their team, and hardly any at all with Lloyd and his disaster-haired self.
Ah well. He can take more later. They've got plenty of time.

Y-you have Lloyd as Jake headcanons???? Do you mind sharing them?
heck yES
Okay so Imma start with some reasons why Lloyd is Jake to me
So, Jake says in Upgrade “my parents won’t be home so it’s all right, they laundered money now they’re on the run… which means the house is empty so that’s fun”
Jake’s parents are criminals and he’s alone, Lloyd’s father is evil and his mother left him at a boarding school for bad boys and essentially he is alone.
Both Lloyd and Jake essentially had no one to teach them and guide them in life, therefore both of them have trouble being a good person sometimes
Jake, for example, knows that Rich isn’t the best person, but he kind of just let’s him be an a-hole. Not to mention, when Jeremy is writhing in pain on the ground at Sabaro’s, Jake’s initial reaction is “the freak’s freaking out”
Lloyd, for example, was not the best kid (being left at Darkley’s didn’t help either), he was essentially / technically a criminal and thief and he didn’t always treat people the best.
After I Love Play Rehearsal, when Jake talks to Christine, he mentions how he feels the need to be the best all of the time, and how much pressure he feels to, essentially, be himself.
Lloyd is the freaking green ninja. He constantly feels the need to be the best and constantly feels pressured to be the best and to be strong and such.
They both feel like they have to be happy because you can’t be popular in school if you’re sad and you can’t save the world if you focus on your problems. You can’t lead after school activities or lead a team of ninja if you get too much in your head.
Speaking of activities, let’s talk about the fact that Jake literally does almost every after school activity and leads a good chunk of them. He most likely does this because he’d rather be at school all day long than in an empty house all by himself. He also throws parties that he invites so many people to, because he’d rather be with too many people than no one because he’s been alone so long. It’s a good distraction.
Lloyd distracted himself from absentee parents by trying to be evil, by absorbing himself into all of this evil business, into revenge, freeing the serpentine and pitting them against each other, even perhaps with comics and training later on.
They also both had a broken leg (or legs Jake sorry hun :/ ) at one point
Okay so I feel like Kai would be Rich and let’s be real here, Kai would burn down a house to save Lloyd in a heart beat (which is essentially what Rich did, he burned down Jake’s house to kill himself so that his SQUIP couldn’t control him and spread the SQUIPS)
Okay but Lloyd would dress like Britton Smith’s Jake rather than Jake Boyd’s Jake. Like, he’d start by dressing like Jake Boyd, with the red jacket and jeans, but when he grows more confident and more comfortable with himself, especially after the “SQUIP situation” (or Nadakhan situation because Nadakhan is the SQUIP to me lol) and he’d feel so much more comfortable being as colorful as he wanted!Lloyd isn’t as “smooth” as Jake, but he is definitely as adorably oblivious to some things
Speaking of, after the Nadakhan / SQUIP incident, he works really hard to be a better person and not to be as ignorant to the way people treat each other and how he treats people but sometimes he still falls into old habits and he can act like an a-hole towards others but he feels so trashy after he realizes what he’s done or when someone tells him
He moved in with Kai / Rich after the incident too, because he finally talked to someone about how much he hated being alone all the time
The whole gang is all about self-care and such now because they all realized how much they needed it because they can’t save the world and help each other if they can’t love themselves and Lloyd’s way of self-care (aside from moving in with Kai) is dropping activities and things that cause extra stress
On that note, if this AU is still kind of a high school AU then it’s clubs that he absorbs himself into (as well as thievery and young!Lloyd season one stuff), but if it’s not school, then along with the thievery and such he is still in like a bunch of clubs and teams like bowling or a book club as well as working like three jobs because he’s alone in the world, but drops almost all of it (aside from a job) so that he can take time to do other things that he needs to do and and get his life back on track. He still has fun, he just makes sure that he doesn’t try and do everything just for the sake of not being alone, because he realizes that he’s not anymore
Even though he had the jobs, he still did (borderline) illegal things because he wanted to impress his dad and maybe his mom (he knew nothing about her, for all he knew she was evil too, she did drop him off at Darkley’s) but he didn’t want to be a complete thief because at the same time he really didn’t want to be like them because they left him and so he stopped himself from being terrible
He still struggles with not focusing on living up to standards that the world and his title as the Green Ninja created for him. His friends help him with that as much as they can but taking the pressure off of his shoulders is hard
It’s also a little scary for him because all of his life he knew he had to be this, and act this way, and just be the way the world perceived him because of his dad and his title as Green Ninja, and attempting to break free from that and be more relaxed and more openly him and not what everyone wants him to be is difficult.
(I love the word essentially in case you couldn’t tell) That’s the most I think I can like… articulate right now? I’m having trouble wording some of it, particularly the happier ones- a lot of these were kind of sad??- maybe I’m just more tired than I thought lol, but I can picture it all so clearlyyyyyyy! I hope those made sense? I like… lived in a BMC / Ninjago AU for a solid few weeks straight and I still think about it a lot so I have a lot of feels and opinions on this! (also Jake Dillinger is like… my 1.5 favorite BMC character for so many reasons and I’ve done character analysis’ on him so many times like when I’m driving I’ll speak them to myself or I’ll think about it as I fall asleep or in the shower or during school when I daydream… I love this boy he’s so underrated !) ((actually… I don’t think I’ve ever fully written one out for him… I know I’ve written an eight aged long Chloe analysis / oneshot type thing but I don’t think I’ve ever officially done Jake… I’ll have to do that someday…))
anyWAYS I love my boy Lloydie-G (thank you for that so much by the way I love it ahh) and I hope that made a lick of sense! Have a great night or day or whatever time it is for you when you read this :)
(this is what I mean by Britton’s clothing vs. Jake Boyd’s red jacket and jeans and tank tops and stuff. Like I can see Lloyd in those, but like… I get more of a Britton Jake vibes more than Jake Jake vibes) (BUT I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS OF JAKE EQUALLY BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH EXTREMELY TALENTED AND BOTH STYLES ARE AMAZING AND FIT AND I LOVE OKAY BYE)

Lloyd, Luke, and Kashuu?
Send me a character
Lloyd:
First impression: I thought his name was funny for a jrpg hero lol, and thought he was cute and dorky.
Impression now: He’s a great character, very attuned to the people around them and their emotions even if he’s not book-smart, and he’s sweet and caring and wants everyone to be happy
Favorite moment: Without a doubt, the scene in the anime, I forget which episode it is (one of the United World ones) where Zelos betrays them and pulls Colette over with him, and Lloyd says to him “You’re not a fool, so why do you act as if you are?” It may seem like a small moment, but that line is SO indicative of Lloyd’s character, and how he sees right through Zelos’ act and knows that he has deeper reasons for doing what he’s doing. It’s just a great moment overall and just shows so well why I love Lloyd ugh
Idea for a story: This has probably been done a hundred times over, but it’d be nice to see him and Kratos forming a closer relationship if the latter decided to not be a dick and leave him behind for Derris-Kharlan.
Unpopular opinion: I don’t know if this is unpopular or not, but the ending where Zelos dies? Lloyd would NOT accept that happening so casually; it is so out of character for him I can’t even begin to describe it. I really hate that ending okay ;slkdjffkld;dlkf
Favorite relationship: Lloyd and Zelos, definitely strictly platonically, thank you
Favorite headcanon: I’d like to think that Lloyd and Yuan form some kind of close-ish relationship after the story ends? Since none of Yuan’s friends are left, and Lloyd is without Kratos now, and Yuan probably spent some time with baby Lloyd in the past. Idk it would be nice.
Luke: (there will be major spoilers for Tales of the Abyss)
First impression: Thought his brattiness was a little annoying, but amusing; I knew he’d get better so it didn’t bother me too much except a few times.
Impression now: Luke is, without exaggeration, my favorite fictional character of all time; he has the most incredible character development I have ever seen, and his whole story and character is so heartbreaking, emotional, touching, beautiful, awe-inspiring, human, I could go on and on. His changes are so realistic and natural (again, human), and the way he struggles to find a reason for his existence and then finally finds it and fights so hard to keep it, it left such a huge impact on me, as I know it does everyone who plays Tales of the Abyss. His wishes, and desires, and fears, and insecurities, and depression are so relatable despite the fantasy setting of the story, and that’s why I love him so much, and why so many others do as well.
Favorite moment: How on earth can I CHOOSE??? But if I had to choose, it’d be the Tower of Rem scene where Luke is crying to himself that he doesn’t want to die, over and over again; and then the scene near the end of the game with Luke’s speech to Asch about why he deserves to be alive, right before their duel. I can’t choose between them, both of them are some of the most powerful scenes I’ve ever experienced in anything, just UGH
Idea for a story: Ion lives and is with Luke and co for the rest of the game to react to all the terrible stuff that happens in the last third. just that. because i need it. i need Ion to be there for Luke okay im so sad lskdjfjd
Unpopular opinion: Since apparently this is an unpopular opinion (or at least it seems like it…), Luke is the one who came back in the end, canonically. People can make AUs where it’s others, but Bamco made a mistake by saying “it’s up to interpretation”, because everything points to it being Luke. Not even just talking about the worldbuilding evidence here; even ignoring all that, the narrative itself does not work at all unless Luke is the one who comes back in the end. Making it anyone else completely destroys the theme and message of TotA, and Luke’s entire character arc, and saying that it’s anyone else canonically does a disservice to both.
Favorite relationship: Luke and Ion, and Luke and Jade. Can’t choose, sorry.
Favorite headcanon: Luke spends a lot of time with Florian post-game, and they visit Ion’s grave sometimes and Luke tells Florian about him.
Kashuu:
First impression: “He’s so pretty and fashionable and sassy; I like him. Look at those nails, even.”
Impression now: Kashuu is wonderful; he’s funny, cute, sometimes sarcastic, and he doesn’t voice his true feelings easily but he cares deeply for everyone, especially Yasusada (and someone else). He’s very strong mentally and emotionally, just like Yasusada is.
Favorite moment: In episode 12 of Hanamaru season one where he says to Yasusada “I wanted to protect Okita too… because I love him!” :’) 3 
Idea for a story: I’d really like to see him interact with Okita, since we know how Yasusada has. Share your innermost feelings, Kashuu yes there’s the above line but I want more
Unpopular opinion: Idk if it’s unpopular or not but he really does care about Okita, despite what happened to him at Ikedaya? He’s got all these bitter feelings about being abandoned by Okita and can’t help but hold that against him somewhat (and the things he says about wanting to tell him to treat him more carefully and stop getting blood all over him), and he’s moved on to their new master and isn’t held back by missing Okita all the time like Yasusada is, but deep down he truly does care about him and feels sorrow about what befell Okita, and has to realize that him breaking wasn’t his fault, even if it’s hard for him to acknowledge that to himself.
Favorite relationship: Kashuu and Yasusada
Favorite headcanon: He probably goes around threatening to paint people’s nails if they annoy him or if they lose a bet they make with him lol. The tantous probably like it when he does theirs, though.
Thanks!

Stuck Inside Media Diary Week 2
Tumblr media
New week. New movies I had never seen before. Only one was on the DVR so now it’s just like a glorified streaming guide and for that I apologize. There were three movies this week that I had seen before, but I’ve decided, because rules are important, that I won’t re-watch a movie until I watch a new one. Does this matter? No. But it has made me realize that I might be exposing my ass in the upcoming weeks, because we all lie about saying we’ve seen some movies when we actually haven’t. Not the case for this week, but it’s impending.
Sunday, March 29
Tumblr media
Warrior, O’Conner 2011 [as of now this is available on Amazon Prime]
As a person who doesn’t really care about MMA or UFC or boxing or bum fights or bare knuckle brawls I went in under the impression that there’d probably be some kind of barrier in my way of enjoying it, despite knowing its esteemed reputation for being man-weep canon. Any movie that opens and closes with a song by The National is fairly transparent about the type of movie its going to be, despite having an extremely yolked Tom Hardy as one of the main characters. My first cry came at a very unexpected moment, especially because Frank Grillo had a significant role in making that happen (though I will say, I had no idea Frank Grillo was in this movie and about midway through I thought “man, that guy kinda looks like Grillo, but he’s kinda small and has a fashion mullet”). However, I’m a cryer, so I don’t want to set the expectation of you will cry at this you piece of shit! but you might and it’ll come out of a good place, because this movie doesn’t trick you into crying by manipulating you into it (okay, it does at one point, but it involves Moby Dick, so again, it’s kinda unexpected). It opens with “Start A War” and ends with “About Today,” a top 5 sad boy song by The National and I’ll be damned if I didn’t listen to it once a day all last week.

Working Girl, Nichols 1988 [as of now this is available on HBO]
Sometime in college, I think in a detective fiction class I took, we talked about knowing a reference to something before knowing what it’s either paying homage to or directly referencing. For example: the first time I read The Long Halloween (which is a Batman comic by Jeph Loeb) I had no idea that basically everything involving Falcone is just ripped from The Godfather, because I had never seen The Godfather at that time in my life; literally the first page of the book is “I believe in Gotham City.” Or in Django Unchained when they go to Mississippi and the title card moves across the screen just like it does in Gone With The Wind (Tarantino movies are generally just long homages and references to other things, so if you need another example, just look to really anything he’s ever worked on). There’s probably a German word for this feeling of recognition and I just don’t have the energy to look to see what it would be, but I felt it while watching Working Girl in two regards. 
The first was that I didn’t realize that School Of Rock is essentially just Working Girl and when you have a realization like this, you feel kinda dumb, because you just assume everyone figured this out before you did. The second was that Joe Swanberg has tried to model his movies after Mike Nichols ones like his life depended on it and he just can’t or rather hasn’t. Also I’m not a person who was alive in the 80s and I’m sure there’s some modern day equivalent (potentially her daughter) who I defend out of some weird sense of contrarian obligation, but what’s uh, what’s going on with Melanie Griffith and her as actor?

Better Call Saul 
“Slip”, “Fall”, “Lantern” [Season 3 finale]
BCS season 3 really stepped up to the heights of Breaking Bad and I think I might like it just a little bit better than it? I haven’t watched Breaking Bad in long time, I find it pretty difficult to re-watch (it’s very fire works factory for me) so I’m sure there are some BB highs that I just don’t remember fully, but that BCS can juggle being three different shows all at the same time and do it excellently really has me taken aback. It’s like watching the Coen Brothers jump from genre to genre and not be worried about the end result.

Say Anything..., Crowe 1989 [as of now this is available on Hulu]
I’m unabashedly in the can for Cameron Crowe, which is a semi-embarrassing thing to admit, but whatever. I saw Aloha in theatres and watched We Bought A Zoo when it was on FX once (in real time too, so that means with commercials-this was also the only time I’ve seen We Bought A Zoo, but I think I’d do it again); you can’t hurt me. I think I kept my distance from Say Anything... for so long, because it was one of those things that I’d be annoyed at because it’d resonate with me too much, because feeling that is kinda hacky and embarrassing, but if there’s one thing that Cameron Crowe movies put an emphasis on of importance on, it’s being sincere. And I sincerely loved it (hot, HOT take). Thanks to Russillo for recommending it on Simmons’ podcast last week.

The Graduate, Nichols 1967 [as of now this is available on Amazon Prime]
Sucks that this movie has been used by a certain type of dude who use it as a blueprint for their life and how they view relationships. Other than that, good job everyone. [I definitely thought it would be clever to watch this after watching Say Anything... because I just assumed Ben Braddock walked so Lloyd Dobbler could run-I was kinda right, whatever]

Hot Rod, Schaffer 2007
While April Fools Day means nothing to me I do try to watch a comedy on the day, because...eh, why not. Hot Rod is maybe a perfect comedy and I think I could spend hours talking about it. I don’t know how there hasn’t been some kind of programming that’s been done around The Lonely Island and their catalog, because it seems very obvious. 
Hot Rod with Digital Shorts played before and after and then Wayne’s World
MacGruber and you play MacGruber shorts before and after and then whatever grotesque 80′s action movie you’d want, maybe Commando
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping with Lonely Island music videos before and after and then This Is Spinal Tap
The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience sing-a-long followed by The Lonely Island pilot and  either a collection or the entirety of I Think You Should Leave
maybe this is all a lead-up to Palm Springs, a movie I have’t seen and know very little about other than they produced it and Samberg is in it

You Can Count On Me, Lonergan 2000 [as of now this is available on Amazon Prime]
I say this as a very big fan of his, but! Timothée Chalamet, consider yerself on notice for borrowing heavily from the Mark Ruffalo school of acting. Also, I get it now with Laura Linney, who I’ve liked before, but thought she might kind of be overrated by some people. Also, Matthew Broderick made this after Election (and also Inspector Gadget), so quite the infidelity streak for Brody, probably not a double feature.

De Palma, Baumbach & Paltrow, 2015 [as of now this is available on Netflix]
The definitive documentaries for the directors of this friend group are basically perfect in their own ways. That this is just De Palma talking about himself and his career and movies, sometimes being incredibly critical of his own work and others. He seems pretty self-aware, probably the most of that group of directors, while still coming across as incredibly cocky. De Palma is perfect for Brian De Palma. However, if anyone wanted to make a 10 hour documentary on Scorsese, Spielberg, Coppola, De Palma and Lucas in this style or it’s just the 5 of them interviewing each other moderated by like Fincher or someone, man....I could really go for that. (I mean if Michael Jordan can get one, why not these guys?)
Tumblr media
The Other Director Documentaries
Spielberg, 2017 (HBO) [Interviews and retrospectives about Spielberg’s career, with personal highlights. It’s essentially Spielberg in a nutshell: big, flashy with a lot of time on particular moments that are more important to him than they are to you]
Empire Of Dreams, 2004 (Disney+) [Ostensively this is about Star Wars, and it’s made by a company-man, it says so much about Lucas, a man who hated how institutions told him what he could do so he unintentionally created one that has copied what he hates]
Heart Of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, 1991 [A truly wild ride, tells you everything you need to know about Coppola]
Italianamerican, 1974 [While a new documentary about Scorsese is probably what I covet most, he’s a pretty open book about his controversies and he’d probably enjoy talking about other people’s work more than his own-catholicism’s a helluva thing]

The Godfather Pt. I & The Godfather Pt. II, Coppola 1972 & 1974
I don’t know if I necessarily endorse watching both of these back-to-back; I guess I’m glad I did it, even if the motivation was mainly to just see if I could. Obviously these movies are important and good and are about so much more than just gangsters and thugs, but a lot of the time it just feels like eating vegetables for me. I did not grow up in a household that emphasized the importance of The Godfather so maybe that’s part of it, but I’m definitely not as dismissive of these as I used to be (though part of that could be the mental Stockholm Syndrome Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan and Sean Fennessey have given me). Once I finished Pt. I, I felt like I could re-watch it; once I finished Pt. II I felt like my eyes were melting out of my head and onto my hands (this could be because I had just watched 377 minutes of a story). I will probably never do it again, unless it’s the weekend after Christmas and AMC is just going for it-at least then I’ll have intermissions every 20 or so minutes telling me to go shop at Target.

deh pets headcanon
ok so i made another headcanon before about phones and things they would all have and mentioned that evan would probably have a dog. so then naturally i just started thinking about all of them which resulted in this. another warning that it’s midnight and im half dead soooo yeah enjoy??? 
jared:
he would be the kid that BEGGED until his parents got him whatever animal he wanted
like he has a lot of pets idk
the first thing that comes to my mind is a bird
and i’m not talking like a cute little parakeet
im talking like an annoying ass huge bird
like they used to keep it in the house but it was just,,,, , so loud
so now they keep it in the shed
(don’t worry he takes great care of the bird even tho it’s in the shed)
i keep picturing a parrot
is that even llegal? idk 
don’t ask me
the bird’s  name would either be like something he named when he was little like “rainbow”
or it would be literally just meme
like
the bird’s name would be meme
there is no in between don’t fight me on this
he would also have a guniea pig named something really stupid too
idk what it would be probably dat boi or another old meme 
but he would love that freaking thing
he would like constantly hold it or like carry it around his house
or he would show up at evan’s house holding it and evan would be like “what why”
and he would be like “oh yeah. this is dat boi and he’s coming inside with me”
he wouldn’t have a dog tho
they probably had one when he was little but it passed away and they didn’t think anything could be better than that dog
aw now i’m sad
maybe he would have a hamster at one point too but it would like probably get annoying and he would give it to connor
oh thats another thing for later
long story short jared loves animals
connor:
connor would probably be like “i hate all animals. i hate everything. angst blah blah blah
but jared one day just showed up with a hamster like “just tAKE IT”
and then left
so he was like uhh okay
and he ended up becoming secretley obsessed with this hamster
like when he was feeling really angry and about to freak out he would just watch it run on it’s little wheel and it would calm him down
he wouldn’t name it because “he didn’t want to get too attached” 
(he was so attached. he loved it.)
he would buy so much stuff for it
like he would come home with bags and bags of little tubes for it to run in or a bunch of different wheels to try out 
his mom would be like “connor what is that” and he’d be like “nOTHING”
it would be a hamster mansion
p.s. zoe wouldn’t know about the hamster
she would be completley oblivious somehow
his parents did tho and didn’t really care
evan was the only person that knew about the hamster other than that
and he loved that thing so much
like whenever him and connor would hang out he would just be constantly holding it
evan probably named it in his head but never really says it out loud 
and one day he lets it slip
like
“aw can we take out hammy?”
and connor’s like “whatthefuck”
and evan gets all nervous and stuttering 
but they eventually just start calling it hammy
it would be a really tan almost orange looking hamster btw
and it’d probably be really fat because evan likes to give him treats
side note: the only other animal connor would like is evan’s dog which i will talk about later
alana:
alana would always love animals but she never really acted on it much
like she would know anything and everything about animals but would never really vocalize it 
until one day zoe starts talking about how she likes animals
then she just goes crazy
like she’s a Certifed Animal Lover™
but anyway
I feel like she would have a little dog
like not a chuiwawwawawaw i gave up on spelling that rip
but like a little rescue dog
it would probably look like a puggle 
and while she’s doing homework the dog would just like sit in her lap
(if u haven’t already noticed this is heavily based on how kristolyn lloyd mentioned alana having a dog or something with her on stage and tbh i agreed hard core)
this dog would be so freaking spoiled
like im talking huge beds made for golden retrievers 
purple sparkly collars and harnesses and clothes (the dog’s color would be purple. dont fight me on this) (wow i can’t believe i just gave a dog a favorite color rip)
she would make it wear shoes sometimes and take funny videos to post on her instagram
this dog would have the most extra name of all time
like Persephone or athena or some goddess name 
i didn’t include this in the other hc but she would DEF have a vlog channel
and she would be like “hey guys! this is alana and dionysus (yes i just googled that im sorry) and welcome to todays video!”
either that or she would have a guinea pig
but i more see her with a dog
she would love that dog so much
zoe:
golden retriever. for sure.
she would be the kid who BEGGED their parents for a dog for years and years
like every school essay would be about why she should get a dog
and she would like tape dog pictures to the fridge and on her notebooks at school
she would be s’cute
but when she got into high school her parents expected it to kind of drop off
but no
not at all
she only wrote more essays about why she should get this dog
and they were still like “mehhh no”
(actually cynthia would be fine with it but larry would be like hell no hell no hell no)
so the day she turned eighteen she was like “screw this im an Adult™ now”
and just went out and got a dog
and when she came back home with it everyone was like “what have you done”
and she just shrugs and is like “i’m an adult now i get to do what i want”
and nobody really says anything after that
she loves that dog so much
it would be a girl named kiwi
or something weird but adorable like that
and she would sneak it into school sometimes 
she would totally get caught but it would be worth it to her
she only did that when the dog was a puppy tho
when kiwi got big she loved her even more
omg this dog would know so many tricks
like im not talking “sit” and “roll over”
(but obvi she would know those)
im talking like dance and jump and speak and play dead
that dog would be so smart
zoe would work really hard to train her tho
she would try to bring her everywhere
like when all of them would hang out she would make the plans around wherever place was dog friendly ya know
her parents would be like “no dog on the bed!1!1!”
but no
i mean the dog would obviously have a dog bed 
(and it would be damn comfy tbh)
 but she would always sleep in zoe’s bed
not at her feet but like right up on top of the pillow like she’s a human
ok I’ve gotta stop now time for evan handsoap
evan:
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: i love evan so much okay
just a reminder
anywho
evan would never really be the type to beg for a dog
but heidi got one for him at the beginning of senior year just bc she thought it would be good for him
(she tries so hard i love her too)
and at first he was like “oh ok hi dog”
but then he’s like “ohmygod i love u”
it’s def a dachshund/wiener dog don’t fight me on this i know it’s a thing
he would name it bonsai 
i know he would
my hear is melting just thinking about this s end he lp
but he would love that thing so much
he would love taking hikes or little nature walks with her
(the dog would be a girl btw idk how i know this i just do)
and the dog would be very fit
like she would never be fat
she wouldn’t know very many tricks
like  only sit and high five
but it’s ok she’s an angel
she’s probably  like very light tan almost blonde (if u google a pic of a light tan weiner dog you’ll see what I mean they’re so cute I cant)
and when he’s anxious she can always tell
so she goes up to him and just like sits next to him and kinda whines bc she’s worried?? idk you know what i mean
but at night she sleeps curled up into evan’s side
like wiener dogs when they sleep literally curl into a little burrito 
she does that
it’s so cute
when connor stays over the dog sleeps between them
oh yeah
that’s the only dog connor likes
like he hard core loves that dog
when he sees her he uses this high pitched baby voice
you know the one im talking about
it’s adorable
evan thinks it’s the best thing he’s ever heard actually
he loves that connor loves his dog
i just thought of this but what if it was a therapy dog
like he could bring it to school when he had really bad days
and she would be v friendly and love people
and in class when he got anxious he would just stick his hand down and pet his dog
(if u can’t already tell idk how service/therapy dogs work someone educate me)
he wouldn’t bring her with him a lot
bc people would want to pet her and he would get all flustered
and once he got kicked out of a store because the worker thought he just brought in a dog and evan was too nervous to explain that it was his therapy dog
poor boyo
but zoe and alana and connor and jared would BEG him to because they all love her
so when they got ice cream at a la mode he would always bring bonsai just to make them shut up
and the employees there know bonsai and always give them a free vinalla cone for her
ah i just love the idea of him having a dog

Lloyd Garmadon Headcanons
My headcanons for The Child™ Lloyd, as requested by that anon who asked who my favorite Ninjago character was.
Bear with me on some of these because I’ve only watched up to the end of S5 (they don’t have anything past that on Netflix) and I dunno much about the later seasons past Hands of Time involving some serious timeline bullshit of Homestuckian proportions.
Sometimes he has nightmares where his dad is accusing him of betraying him and yelling at him for sending him to the Cursed Realm. He wakes up sobbing and usually with a lightbulb blown because his powers surged while he was dreaming.
The first time he ever kills someone, he doesn’t think much of it at the time. But when the reality of what he did sets in after the adrenaline fades, he locks himself in his room for a week and refuses to talk to anyone. He’s never really the same afterwards.
He hates it when people treat him like a child, but he also hates being given too much adult responsibility.
“Kai I don’t care if I was 10 when I met you I’m mentally a teenager dammit don’t treat me like I’m little.”
“SENSEI I AM LITERALLY LIKE 12 WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE I’M AN ADULT I CAN’T EVEN DO CALCULUS AND REMEMBER TO FEED THE FISH LET ALONE TAKE CARE OF THIS PLACE BY MYSELF FOR A WEEK”
When he’s depressed, he’s extremely self-destructive in one way or another. Sometimes it’s actual self harm, others it’s self neglect like not eating or sleeping.
He’s less likely to cut himself than he is to purposely give himself bruises.
His least self-destructive tendency is working out excessively, until he strains his body so much that he can’t move for about 15 minutes.
He color codes his clothes most of the time, but sometimes he just can’t can’t be bothered to or he doesn’t feel like wearing green so he’ll wear dark jeans and a black jacket or hoodie.
Sometimes he thinks about Morro and wonders if he would have ended up the way he was if Wu had warned him that there was a chance he wasn’t really the Green Ninja.
He also thinks about all the things that Wu doesn’t tell any of them until its too late and it makes him really mad.
He cries every time he thinks about his dad for more than 5 consecutive minutes.
Kai is his best friend in the whole world but sometimes he really resents him and he can’t figure out why.
He looks up to Zane and/or Nya as sort of pseudo-mother figures when his own mom isn’t around.
He’s really good at drawing and painting but he prefers not to because he thinks people will take him less seriously if they find out.
His preference is nature drawings, namely vines and flowers because he can repeat patterns and such and he finds it calming.
He prefers to paint when he does do anything artsy, and usually uses watercolors.
When he draws/paints anything other than flowers/vines, he tends to do portraits of people in oil pastels. So far he’s got portraits of his mom, dad, Kai, Zane, and Cole... He’s planning on drawing Wu, Jay, and Nya at some point too.
He holds grudges like a boss... But only against people who deserve it.
That said, he can be incredibly petty if he wants to be and there are a few boys from Darkley’s that he has grudges against for things like “he looked at me funny”.
He was kicked out of Darkley’s for “lacking the motivation to be a villain” (canon), but in reality he didn’t really want to be evil, he just wanted to be able to make his dad proud of him, which is why he kept trying even after he was expelled. If he had really wanted to be evil, he probably could have taken over Ninjago in half the time it took his dad to attempt it.
No matter how old he is or what universe he’s in, he always has a sweet tooth. Always. He just learns how to control himself after a while.
In same-age AUs, his friendship with Kai has the very real possibility of turning into something else due to how close they are and how compatible their personalities are.
It’s still possible in the main/canon timeline, but it’s less likely because even if he liked Kai, Kai would probably be incredibly hesitant due to Lloyd really being so much younger than he is and Lloyd wouldn’t want to make him uncomfortable.
He lowkey thinks that Cole and Jay are secretly gay for each other.
He also thinks they both might be a little gay for Zane.
Loud noises and big crowds make him uncomfortable, but absolute silence and total loneliness terrify him. He has a hard time finding a proper balance of sound/silence and the right amount of people.
When in a situation where he has to sit still for long periods of time, he spends the majority of it bouncing his knees, drumming his fingers on stuff, and chewing on the insides of his cheeks and on his bottom lip.
In modern/real world AUs, fidget cubes are his best friends.
In the High School AU, Lloyd is outwardly sarcastic and sassy to everyone around him, but below that salty exterior he’s actually a really sad and vulnerable kid.
He’s super sensitive, too, but he’s trained himself to hold in his emotions until he’s alone.
Any time he’s criticized or yelled at, he cries.
If someone calls him out on how he acts, he gets hurt deep down but externally tells them something that rhymes with “Duck Glue”.
When he finally reaches his “rebellious teenage phase” he ends up with a really foul mouth for a couple months but grows out of it. He still drops the occasional F-Bomb from time to time but mostly he manages not to curse.
When the day finally comes that Sensei Wu dies, all the ninja are utterly devastated. Lloyd is the only one who doesn’t collapse into emotional turmoil, remaining, for the most part, outwardly calm.
Kai takes it entirely the wrong way and explodes on him about it, saying a lot of things that he later regrets very much. (”You don’t even care, do you?” “I guess I should have expected something like this from Garmadon’s son.”)
Lloyd locks himself in his room afterwards and doesn’t come out until Cole talks him into coming out to eat something because he’s hungry. He spends a few weeks being entirely apathetic to Kai but eventually their relationship recovers and they go back to being bros.
When he gets frustrated he spars with Cole to take out some of his aggression. It works pretty well for both of them because they can both fight almost at their peak without having to worry too much about hurting each other.
Somehow, some way, he still has a little bit of his Golden Power locked up somewhere. He knows it’s there but refuses to try and use it because the longer he leaves it alone the more it starts to replenish itself. He kind of hopes that one day he’ll have it all back, but even if he did he’d only use it in extreme situations.
Some of the Devourer’s venom did get passed on to him, but his Golden Power and status as the Green Ninja kind of quash down the “evil” aspect of it, making it surface mostly in small ways.
When he gets really, really, really mad, his eyes turn red.
He has little fangs and whenever he’s so mad his eyes turn red, they get bigger and sharper.
He’s a really good liar because hey you know snakes are deceivers.
Also his whole grudge-holding thing? That’s another thing caused by the venom.
Movie Lloyd (Luh-loyd) has some severe depression, anxiety, and abandonment issues that are constantly perpetuated by Garmadon being an huge deadbeat.
Every time Bad Blood played in the trailer it was because Luh-loyd was thinking it because he’s secretly a meme lord.
If Lloyd and Luh-loyd ever met, Luh-loyd would probably resent the fact that Lloyd’s dad actually knew his name and cared about him, but then would immediately feel bad about it when he finds out that Garmadon is Garmadead.
Okay seriously I have more but I think this is more than enough for one post.
