Kai And Nya Are The Epitome Of “I Cut All Off The Sleeves Of My Shirt Because My Sibling Is 90% Of

Lloyd: I wrote down all the plans we shouldn’t try again

Wu: “Jay improvises breakdancing”

Wu: “Nya pretends to be a guidance counsellor”

Wu: “Zane jumps off a cliff, again” underlined

Wu: This one says “throw Kai at enemies like a cat”?

Lloyd: Oh, that one works every time. Put it in the to-do pile

Do you think kai would playfully embarrass Lloyd when they’re on the news?

Yes but in the “look at my lil bro LOOK AT HIM” kind of way I think

dearest ninjago fans I have an announcement

found this gem

Your hc about kai being spared from prank wars bc of big brother privileges is so right I love you. I can imagine a massive prank war going on and kai having no idea its happening because lloyd specifically intercepts any pranks that would affect kai

anon… I love you MORE!!

imagine Kai just waking up on the morning wearing cat slippers and walking outside and he sees all the ninja on the floor and he looks at Lloyd and Lloyd shrugs and says, “prank war.”

half the time kai doesn’t even know a prank war is going on because

1) the master of pranks (Lloyd) does not touch him

2) anyone who lays a prank on Kai is to be demolished by the master of pranks

misc ninja part II <3

part I here

If somebody says one more time that Kai deserved to not only get kicked but also beaten up by jay in that one fight scene in crystallized I will THROW HANDS. No, I DO NOT hate jay. But I DO HATE tommy anderson

we know why jay acts the way he does. we have information about his past. we have an entire season about him and how he perceives himself (sky bound). Nadakhan literally pointed out that jay uses jokes to cover up insecurity. His true potential showed that he was insecure about being himself (until nya talked to him etc). We got like three seasons of him being the hero and saving entirety of Ninjago.

We were given Information about Cole’s past. We saw his childhood with his gorgeous mom. We saw in his true potential how he desperately wanted to be accepted by his dad. We saw Zane’s past. We saw how he sacrificed himself for the Ninja, understanding and acting upon the same words Kai had told him, “it’s about family, not numbers”. The writers could dive into Zane more, but we got something. And we also got some Nya, why she’s a perfectionist, why she isn’t that verbal, why she’s Independent; Kai said so himself, after all. Even though I wish we saw her talk with Nyad more, we still got her. And the entire series is about our boy Lloyd. And even though every one of them could be explored so much more, we got something. And for a few ninja, we got a lot of something’s. But not Kai. Rarely Kai.

Kai’s true potential was protecting someone. And I loved that, I did. But that’s it. If anything, it literally points out that no, he is not selfish. We never got a season truly revolving around Kai’s childhood struggles/trauma. Why is he reckless? Why is he protective? Why does he never cry? While the other ninja have their spotlights, Kai never had his. He is such a complex character (that ninjago refuses to dive into) and that’s why I love him so much.

I know. I know Kai can be rude to Jay sometimes, and bully him, but if it came down to it, Kai would die for him. Because this is the man that makes his sister happy, because jay does mean a lot to kai. Kai doesn’t show it - frankly, he doesn’t show a lot of things. And I know this doesn’t entirely excuse the way he acted toward jay before, but why. I want to know why he acts like that. But the writers never dwelled on it. Jay is allowed to confront and express his feelings about how Kai for ‘bullying’ him, but not like this ( by the way, idk if I guys noticed but lately Kai has been complimenting/hyping jay up a lot now.)

And when jay, who is grief stricken, leads him self to believe only he loved nya in the entire world, kai is allowed to get angry. Kai is allowed to feel anger towards someone acting like no one else loved nya when Kai raised her. Protected her. Did everything for her. Just because we did not see as much of Kai grieving as we did of Jay, does not mean Jay was more upset. For all we know, Kai was dying on the inside. She was his sister for gods sake.

Kai did not “deserve” that kick. And if you genuinely think that, i honestly do not know what to tell you.

thinking about how Kai has always been a shell of a person and has never had time to understand who he really is because he’s always trying to help other people and be Needed because he’s only ever a reaction to what other people Think he is or what they Want him to be. He always has to fill a role. Parent. Brother. Teammate. He plays the part he’s needed in and nothing else.

You know, the saddest thing about being head-over-heals for the RGB sibs is that you know the show probably won't fulfill that need for us... no will they have Lloyd call Wu "uncle" again... why are we losing so many cool familial things here??? I just want Kai and Nya and Lloyd to interact and be siblings... :(
