Really Hope Ninjago United Series Is Gonna Be With Our Ninja

Even MORE episode descriptions...

Theory: I think the first one will have every scene of Lloyd running in the temple, from Mr. F and Vangelis, as well as the Overlord walking in front of the crystal, and awakening his army. The second one is the one where Lloyd falls from the sky, runs from Harumi, and Nya saves him before he falls.

I ALSO think Aspheera is the unlikely ally, as a way to repay him for freeing her and helping her escape the monastery.

Kai Version: Isn’t it so incredibly interesting how both smith siblings handled their trauma in drastically different ways?

Kai  has low self esteem/self worth (depends on people, powers, and statements to determine his value), constantly needs to prove himself, and is immensely dependent on external validation (his obsession social media is a prime example of this). He invalidates himself, dismissing his emotions/feelings, and needs regular reassurance (tendency to blame out-of-control situations on himself, likely derived from the mindset that his parents purposely left him because he wasn’t good enough, and i’ll bet my soul he stayed awake  nights wondering that if nya was firstborn, would his parents still leave?) .

His fear of being useless is also likely derived from that same mindset and as such he portrays himself through a cocky/prideful ‘persona’. This is false portrayal of himself, simply to appear stronger in the eyes of others, because if others think he’s of value they won’t leave him, because with or without this ‘mask’ not even he knows who is truly is.

He tends to dissociate during emotionally intense/overwhelming situations, or go into a state shock/confusion. He developed unhealthy coping mechanisms (violently self destructive) with situations regarding loss and grief. All of these things are results of and/or mechanisms he developed from his childhood trauma.

but. despite everything i’ve written above.  he loves nya. raised her. protects/supports her. took lloyd under his wing. he loves lloyd. throws heaps of physical affection towards cole. he loves cole. accepted jay as a brother in law, was so supportive of jaya and helped jay in proposing. he loves jay. makes things fun for zane, reassures him. he loves zane. showed master wu to believe in himself. he loves wu. he loves his entire team and expresses it in ways that value each of them individually. he makes friends with dragons. he loves dragons. he taught/worked with kids. he loves kids. despite what the disappearance of his parents did to him and nya, despite nya’s refusal to show her parents love (valid, btw) kai loved maya. he loved ray.  he loved his parents all over again, he loved his parents again so easily. he loved and loves and keeps loving.

trauma gave him self-destructive mechanisms. trauma instilled insecurity in him. trauma took away his sense of self worth. trauma emptied him of self-love. trauma stole his sense of identity. but kai held on to the ability to protect others, to care for others, to help others. he held them close to his chest. because like hell he’d let his trauma take that.

kai refused to let trauma strip his ability to love. his ability to love is unmatched.

Inspired by this post:

I love people who genuinely observe and analyze kai’s character. people who truly believe and know that his“selfish and egotistical” personality is all just a facade. people who understand that kai isn’t stupid or dumb, but is actually very clever in his own special way. people who can portray him better than the writers of ninjago themselves. people who understand the reasons behind his actions. people who don’t have him as their favorite character but don’t stamp him as the egotistical member and recognize/ analyze all his good qualities. people who have him as their favorite character and continually post about him. people who take their time and understand. just I love you guys so much <3

I don’t think we talk enough about the scene where Lloyd farts on screen

rgb sibling doodles

Smith sibling headcannons ft jay and cole <3

nya uses Kai and Jay to workout like who needs weights when you have your surprisingly light brother and yang (cole fights over kai and jay with nya bc he needs some ninja weights too!!)

nya cannot touch her toes and kai does take advantage of this (nya doing touching toe exercises and kai touching his toes AND bending his body into a pretzel to show off)

kai is a feral cat and kid!lloyd was his feral accomplice in crime (present Lloyd has a part of him that still is..)

kai and nya as kids used to have a tradition of having a ‘sleepover’ and doing each other’s hair when either of them were upset. this passed down to Lloyd too

jay falls asleep during a movie? let’s hope Lloyd and Kai are far away from any nearby sharpies. just saying…

Out of the three smith siblings kai is the best cook but it’s not his fault the kitchen keeps lighting on fire he swears by this and yet we have no proof..

all three of these lads (kai, nya, Lloyd) suck at art (Lloyd is considerably decent since cole helped him with this since cole is the teams artist)

kai likes to read, preferably historical fiction (he became a history teacher guys+ I think it would be really cute that someone as energetic as Kai would like to read and I love that ) and Lloyd likes comics and so whenever nya goes out with jay or alone or something, she makes sure to bring back a book and comic for two certain people

random ninja fam hcs?

anon YOU READ MY MIND I WAS GONNA POST SOME JUST NOW LOL

--ummmm of course they all collect squishmellows

-Cole, Kai and Jay would inflate an air mattress for the sole reason of riding it down the stairs

- The team makes clay rings together and for eachother (wu comes home and it’s a clay-tastrophe)

- WATER BALLOON CHALLENGE but nya kills everyone so its over in the first five seconds

- BLINDFOLD COOKING with zane and kai but somehow they always end up making the best food ever (the others are not allowed to participate bc they can’t even cook with their eyes open)

-everything jay owns has his name on it but the others still steal his stuff.. sorry jay..

- lloyd always wins prank wars. everyone is a victim except kai bc kai has older brother privileges

-KARAOKE NIGHT..... but cole is banned from singing. dw he can dance though

- kai hosts face mask parties bc he has a drawer dedicated to facemasks

-who needs a slushie machine when you have ZANE!

-kai does nyas makeup +hair +chooses her outfit when she goes out on dates w/jay
