Everytime I see a really good analysis on here it's like someone injected the feel good juice directly into my veins. I like sigh and my head goes tingly because yes op yes that is so correct. That's the most anyone's been correct since forever that's so real
Monstrosity is really recontextualizing that Kai and Lloyd reunion in everyone's minds, huh?
Like now I can't help but imagine that the two of them just stood hugging each other like that for a really long time, neither of them saying a word, because Lloyd was so incredibly lonely and of course was overjoyed to have his big brother back, but then he notices that Kai is holding him just a tiny bit tighter than normal and maybe even trembling a bit, and from Kai's pov he's not giving anything away about how close he is to breaking down as the reality washes over him that he finally has one of his loved ones back, because it's Lloyd and he always has to be strong for him, he can't have him worry about him, but Lloyd notices anyway that something is wrong and let's him hold him a bit longer, knowing Kai won't tell him anything about what he's gone through to make him seek comfort like this but wanting to give it to him anyway because it's the least he can do for the one who always protected him.
So I had a bag of pancakes just sitting around and decided to have some as a snack. A little munch. It's was the afternoon and it was hot ok
One thing is that it was infested with ants. Not an ungodly amount, like maybe a few 10 or so. Still, in my hunger induced apathy, I still mixed in the milk, eggs, and even some overripe banana we had lying around. It was kinda clumpy, and the color was weird, but it said it wasn't expired so it's probably fine. It's fine right
Im writing this from the er, after almost dying via suffocation after my throat seized up
In a sick turn of events, the ants inside were an actual colony. Mama ant, babies, and the like. So
The venom immediately attacked my throat and esophagus, and after a few minutes, my throat became kinda stuffy. If the stuffy was on fire and itchy. Also, it had an ingredient I was allergic to. god really said fuck you today
But like the madman I am, I did not give a single shit. I kid you not, I laid on my couch for two hours while my breathing progressively got worse. At one point, I was holding my breath because inhaling air was becoming akin to drinking fiberglass from a cup. I got dizzy once, but I forgot when. Maybe it was the lack of oxygen
After the third hour, it started to settle down a little. I could breathe now, but only through my nose. My mom walked in the room, and I wanted to tell her, but speaking was an agonizing endeavor. So I just. Waved at her. I'm a fucking idiot
By the fourth hour I told her. She then rushed me to the er even though I TRIED to tell her I was fine. It's about half an hour since we got here and we're almost clear for discharge. Eeeee. I remember the drive there and all I could think about is 'I'm so posting this on Tumblr later.'
So this is my of saying I'll be taking a break for a while. Will be back soon!!! The grind never stops even when you're about to die
(Edit: back home after an hour and a half!! I'm all good now but mom is pissed oops)
Rewatching the trailer again
Rewatched that episode earlier, and the signs were so obvious. When the eye thing first came out, it hit KAI first. Of course, when being thrown into somewhere unfamiliar, you go for the first familiar thing you see.
And Kais face after?? After Lloyd runs past him his expression just changes from annoyed to 'God not this guy again' then to 'Ok how can I survive this.'
Then, when him and Nya land the final strike, he says: 'Let's send this monster back to where it came from!' ...I'm sure you know where that is buddy.
Do we think the giant purple one eyed creatures coming through the rift at the cloud kingdom in season 1 was from the realm that Kai’s gonna be stuck in.
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
i think they’re trying to make me go absolutely batshit insane on purpose at this point
Crazy to think that Kai just told the ninja he was travelling the merged lands and wasn’t forced to fight for his life in order to get back to those he loves.
CRAZIER to think that in the first few episodes of season 1 in Dragons Rising this scene of Kai and Lloyd seeing each other again
Is so much worse because Kai seems as if he’s reacting the way he was forced into with all the monsters stronger than him. He and Lloyd are equal in terms of skill, so seeing Kai with zero reactions and just letting himself be flung around? To put it simply, it seems as if he was just so tired of fighting that his mind and body literally wouldn’t let him react appropriately after finally having the chance to stop.
LOOK AT HIM HES CURLED UP??? PROTECTING HIS FACE???
@theyaremanycolors ......
What the shit is wrong with you. What could have possibly possessed you to write this. Why. I was fine a minute ago. My dude. This was extremely uncalled for and honestly I'm offended. All pos but im still really fucking upset you know. Ouchie. That hurt right there in my chest.
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.
If I don't post anything tomorrow I have died
