If anyone can hear me pls don't leak monstrosity
Let's all react to it simultaneously
Like rabid animals getting a singular piece of meat
Cmon
It would be so much fun
Kai after he gets home, looking in the mirror and just. Practicing.
His smile. His laugh. His quips. Practicing how to seem like himself so Lloyd doesn’t worry.
Eyyyy let's go I was half right
Kinda hoping for the arin confrontation to be a realistic and slow process instead of a quick "It's okay not to have Elemental powers you're just as good as the rest of us!!!!!!" Between Lloyd and arin, because the writers have done such a good job at emotional scenes so far.
hoping to have some big bro kai scenes too. Because arin, sora, and Wyldfyre are so similar to kai in regards to their own self worth and how they view their contributions to their team
Arin feels useless because of his lack of elemental power and wanting to grow stronger through not so peaceful means? Kai's whole green ninja spiel and the entirety of the tournament of elements.
Sora feels guilty about arin and feels as if she's only gotten this far because of her Elemental tech? S11, S12, S13, Powers stolen, Powers Lost, Powers negated by Vengstone.
Wyldfyre? Just look at her. Look at kai. She's basically a carbon copy
Conclusion,
Kai best dad, also they all need group therapy
Imagine me, in the middle of the afternoon doomscrolling, seeing a notification that Lego uploaded a new video.
Then, thinking it's a Dr s3 video, click it all excited thinking I can get some Kai crumbs.
Holy shit.
Years. Years of watching seasons full of comedic relief Kai, with seasons with SPECKS of Kai screen time. Just waiting for the day that he gets the spotlight he so deserves.
Just waiting for the writers to take advantage of his angst potential instead of automatically going to Lloyd or killing Zane for shock effect. Watching DR s2 over and over and over again because that's the only way I can see my boy in his beautiful developed self.
Reading fics and comics and headcanons because that's the only way I can really see his trauma acknowledged. Only way I can see how much he cares for his family. Writing my own oneshots out of PURE DESPERATION to see him actually put something into the plot.
Then.
I see it.
Kai fans. We won.
Why thank you :3 I try
Thinking about Kai's fighting style in the realm of monsters, and how creative he had to get whenever he was (on the rare occasions) fighting without Rusty or Daidan to help him.
All of those monsters are impossibly bigger than him, and he needs to use something to hoist himself up in order to actually reach the head and neck. Him using his fire to heat his soles so it sticks to the skin in a mess of boiling flesh. Using daggers to anchor himself repeatedly to go upwards, then finishing it quickly with a slash to the back of the neck and hoping it falls forward instead of backward.
Then when other monsters gather around the new corpse, littered in a linear pattern of scars and burns, all in a line, same as the other few, a rumor spreads among the half sentient monsters.
A giant centipede of fire and steel, some say.
It finds a victim and coils around it, using its hundreds of legs to constrict it before finishing off in one strike, one says in awe.
It never eats it prey, leaving it to rot on the ground instead to show dominance, another says to its mate.
Even with its size, it's never been seen. It burrows underneath the ground, waiting for a chance to burst out and strike, a mother says to its young. Warning.
And the rumor grows, twisting into something more fantastical. Until one day, a lizard made of rotting wood and bone stumbles upon Kai, right on top of another monster, covered in black blood, catching his breath. The lizard scurries to its nest, and the rumor twists into something closer to the truth.
There is no centipede, it screeches. More gather around it.
It's small, and that's its way of trickery. It hides in plain sight, waiting for something to grow confident. To grow complacent and take its size for weakness.
It moves like no other. In flashes of red and orange and waves of blood and muscle. The fire and shadow are fond of this one, always hovering around it. Keeping it unseen.
Its eyes are as hollow as the abysmal ocean, devoid of mercy. Any it sees are guaranteed death, and those it spares are left mangled. Dying of their injuries. It never eats, never takes, only kills in slashes of flame and iron. It was never seen until now, no name it holds either.
After the rumor spreads further, more seeing the nameless monster in person, Kai develops a title. A warning for the ones who know it. There are many, some still calling it the fire centipede, another calling it the killer of giants, but there is one name that has gained popularity. That has made its way into the stories of every mother whispering to their young.
And now, when Kai pulls out his sword in a blaze of yellow and red, he finds that some scurry away. Screeching something he swore he could make out.
Fire Demon, they scream in fear, running off. Fire Demon, they cry out, warning others. Fire Demon, they think in horror, as none have survived it.
Fire Demon.
This is what happened I was the mergequake
Still holds up to this day. I'm shaking
Something that hasn't really sunk in yet is the fact that monstrosity is canon. Like wdym it's not something my Kai-deprived brain made up in order to fill the neverending void in my heart???? Really??? Are you sure?? The thing I've been begging for actual years and then some really happened?? No joke??? Actual Kai material?? Character development?? Lore importance?? ANGST, SICK MONSTER DESIGN, AND BODY HORROR??? 2D FUCKING ANIMATION!?!?!?!? AND ITS ALLL KAI??????????? JUST HIM?????????????????
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH "I have to endure." "I have to continue." "So I can see them again." "I can't lose myself." pfp creds to Kindaasrikal :)
