Do You Think Kai Took Liberties When Heading To The Monastery? Do You Think He Stood Infront Of A Mirror

i think they’re trying to make me go absolutely batshit insane on purpose at this point

Just finished dr s3.

IM IM IM IM IM AAAAAAAAAAAAA

KAI. KAIIIII YOU BEAUTIFUL AWESKME PERFECT INTELLIGEN6 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Saw a ninjago post with a tag that I said "I love continuity!!" And that's my answer whenever someone asks me if the shows I watch have plotholes

Monstrosity Kai desperate for one of the ninja to appear before him, desperate for one of them to appear and give him hope, desperate for one of them to save him, save him from the nightmare, save him from the horrors, save him from the hell he is in.

But most of all, desperate for one of them to save him from himself. Desperate for one of them to appear and make him see he's more than what he's become. Desperate for one of them to appear so he can just cling to one last shred of humanity, for their sake.

If I'm going insane over a trailer I might not watch the actual series because I'll actually die. I'm not even exaggerating it's a problem

Kai's vision in the phantasm cave was simple. Very simple. All there was was a mirror, about the same height as him, with a black stand and body. It swayed a little in the wind, the wood creaking, maybe due to age or decay. At first, he was confused. Maybe he looked around and couldn't see anything. Maybe he just shrugged and cracked a joke about missing his reflection. Besides, what's so bad about a mirror?

Then the air changed.

Maybe it grew thicker or carried something more foreboding. Deadly. Maybe the ground felt slightly rougher, jagged rock digging into his soles more evidently, harder to ignore. Maybe his skin felt itchy, like something was crawling under it.

Maybe everything suddenly became familiar.

Then he looked back at the mirror.

And it was him.

No, not him. Him. Not the Kai, who was reliable and strong, the Kai who was everything a ninja and hero should be. It was the ugly, dirty part of him. The one who gave up their morals in order to survive. The one who he'd long thrown away and pretended never existed.

The real him.

Back in his leather robes and monster fur coat, the smell of dirt thick on his form, the katana he forged with his blood sweat and tears attached to his side. Like it always was. His face was covered, his hat planted firmly on him. It was like he never left. Or it never left him. Something wet coated his arms as his reflection stared back at him, unblinking.

And maybe Kai thought, painfully, that it was over.

Then, as suddenly as it started, everything was back again.

The whiplash was strong, but years of resilience made him good at hiding those things. He quietly looked around, maybe pinched his arm, making sure he was back. For real this time.

He could hear Nya behind him, telling Lloyd that she broke out because she knew it wasn't real. And she's right. She knew Jay could never forget her, and because of that she knew her vision wasn't real, just a fake scenario made to test her.

But Kai's vision was.

It was real.

His fear wasn't becoming a monster,

It was returning to being one.

I can't believe im just learnin you're jubieew on ao3 lmao. In insight, that makes sense.

Atte. The one that leaves you stupidly long reviews.

Helloooo Wyld! I saw you on here once and went "Oh that's my commenter. Sick."

Yeah, I changed my name from jubieew to bie-tch on a whim because I thought it was funny but ended up actually liking it. So it's kinda my fault you didn't notice until now 🙃 btw, always grateful for your reviews!! As they get longer I always get so nervous to reply but I have the one from ch 10 printed on my wall. I really liked writing that one ha. ha. ha. Wonder why.

Uhm *throws at you then runs away*

The ninja and the mech and the dragon having to hang out with each other without Kai is so funny in a tragic way.

Lloyd: What’s your name?

Mech and Dragon: …

Lloyd: How do you know Kai?

Mech and Dragon: ….

Lloyd: Great talk. Okay. Yeah. Nice to meet you, guys?

We also know very little about them other than the fact they are probably not the most upright moral people just because of their circumstances. But I feel like the only information they’d give out is that Kai did everything he could to get home to them. Everything.

Ominously said. But they mean it kindly.

(Context here)

YES YES YES YES YES this is exactly what happened. They would be quiet not out of disrespect but out of awkwardness. Maybe because they were the people Kai was blabbering about while on their journey to the city of temples, and his descriptions of them were a little... overdramatic. Then again, you can't really stop Kai "family man" Smith from bragging about his family (and trying hard not to forget them)

Kai: Oh and don't get me started on my sister, Nya. She's strong, confident, the second best looking in our team if I must say, and did I mention she was the original samurai x? She was able to build all those intricate and complex gadgets at such an early age, and managed to keep it a secret too! Her power over water is also great, and even though she could do better in terms of love interests, I guess Jay is good enough. Oh, and don't forget, she even beat the preeminent when she unlocked her full potential! She's amazing, isn't she?

Rusty and Daidan, not knowing half of what the fuck he's saying: Sure, that's great sweetie.

Kai: It is! Then Lloyd is—

Rusty: O-oh, isn't that the city? I think we're getting close. So. We should focus lest we get off course.

Kai: Ah. Right. I'm sure I can multitask. Lloyd is the green—

Um. The entire trailer is red if you raise the saturation high enough

Like what

Also don't ask me how I found this out. Sometimes ninjago transcends the naked eye
