And the winner of the Biggest Daddy Issues contest by a long shot is Lloyd Garmadon!

I can’t say I’m surprised. From being destined to fight him at such a young age to being forced to banish him to a cursed realm, only to have him resurrected in his worst, evilest form, most of Lloyd’s traumas are related to his father. He even almost beat Lloyd to death, declaring he has no son, attempted to kill his friends in a very gruesome way, and finally, replaced him with a potted plant. That’s messed up on so many levels.

But to tell you the truth, Mao Mao is the one who inspired me to make this poll. Shin Mao favored his older daughters and neglected his son all his life to the point he never even got his name or age right, but Mao Mao still looked up to him, giving him unconditional love and unquestioned respect. I think the last part is what truly makes it tragic. Shin Mao doesn’t treat Mao Mao half as badly as Garmadon treated Lloyd and is described as passive-aggressive, rather than downright abusive. Yet it amazes me how many episodes focus on the long-lasting psychological effects that Shin’s treatment had on Mao. Mao Mao’s self-esteem is extremely fragile and inconsistent to the point where he’s either egotistical or self-depreciative with almost nothing in between, and there are a lot of suppressed fears, insecurities, emotions, and desires that constantly bubble up and affect Mao and everyone else around him.

Despite all this, he still tries to be the best father figure for his little apprentice, encouraging her dream and reassuring her of her own fears and insecurities.

While Lloyd’s past with his dad is the most scarring, he rarely shows those scars, unlike Mao whose entire personality and day-to-day struggles are based on it. Lloyd and his friends are often shown processing their traumas in their different ways (usually in the first episode of the season), but after a while, we return to the status quo and there are very few notable changes in the ninja’s personalities. Like, let’s wrap this up quickly, guys, there’s a new villain in town! This, to be fair, makes sense given the overarching story of Ninjago whereas Mao Mao’s more slice-of-life, over-the-top cartoon hijinks style allows for more moments in which the characters can breathe, get a good look at themselves, and address their personal issues. Mao Mao even goes to a therapist every Thursday, which is something we’ve all agreed for years that Lloyd desperately needs.

Monkie Kid is somewhere in between, having both a lot of lore, but also some more laid-back episodes, especially in the first seasons. Since unlike Lloyd and Mao, Red Son isn’t the main character, his relationship with the Demon Bull King doesn’t get as much spotlight, but it’s still pretty tragic when you think about it. Red Son waited for centuries after his father was imprisoned under a mountain, and the first thing the Bull King does after he returns is treat him like a henchman rather than a son. They do get noticeably better after a while though.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who voted!

I didn't expect so many people to be interested so I decided to turn this into a full Daddy Issues tournament. Feel free to check it out if you'd like.

Jack: Hey, do you know the password to Kimiko’s computer?

Raimundo: Screw you, Jack.

Jack: Hey!!

Raimundo: No, you misunderstood, the password is “screwyoujack”.

Jack: Oh, no numbers? Not very safe.

Chase: *cooking*

Dashi: *kicks down door*

Dashi: *grabs knife from Chase’s hand*

Dashi: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR?

Chase:

Chase: What.

Dojo: He’s trying to tell you he wants to cook.

Lloyd: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be?

Cole: Maybe a bit tipsy?

Nya: Drunk.

Jay: Wasted.

Kai: Dead.

Dashi: Chase, keep an eye on Guan today. He’s going to say something to the wrong person and get punched.

Chase: Sure, I’d love to see Guan getting punched.

Dojo: Try again.

Chase, sighing: I will try to stop Guan from getting punched.

Dojo: Why are you two always out during rainstorms?

Chase: It’s so peaceful and refreshing. I like the smell of rain.

Dashi: Guan bet me I couldn’t get struck by lightning, but he’s WRONG.

Chase: Guan, if the Chi Creature gets me and I lose my chi, promise me you’ll use this.

*pulls out the Fist of Tebigong*

Guan: Chase, I couldn’t!

Chase: Not on me -- on yourself. I don’t wanna be the only one to suffer.

Dashi: No one’s losing their chi. We’re all going to make it home alive, right, Dojo?

*Dojo is missing*

Dashi: So no more negative talk!

Movie Nya: I'm going to fight the next person who insults Lloyd. Movie Lloyd: I hate myself. Movie Nya: Alright, square up.

So, last night I re-watched Finding Omi and you know there's so much talk in the Fandom about Chase Young and Omi's mentor-protege relationship, and I get it, it's unique and interesting, even charming in a way.

But I find it interesting that Chase was willing to lose everything, including Omi's loyalty for the chance of adding Kimiko, Raimundo and Clay to his jungle cats army. I mean, Omi is obviously his favorite but he also sees potential in the other monks.

During his first episode, Chase wanted to see them all in action before ultimately choosing Omi for his fighting skills.

And in "The Evil Within" he knew Clay by name even if they never really interacted before. It seemed to me that he respected him in a way he clearly didn't respect Jack.

Then I started to wonder what if the monks lost the showdown and joined cat Omi.

Chase could put Raimundo in charge of those weird pterodactyl things, like some sort of airforce. You know, since Raimundo can fly using his wind powers.

He would force Kimiko to burn entire villages and cities to the ground. Or take advantage of her quick temper until she does it on her own.

Have Wuya teach Clay how to create his own army of rock monsters.

It's like a weird Heylin found family AU, featuring the monks, Chase, Wuya and probably Jack since no one can get rid of him.

Lloyd: Kai just insisted Nya and I remember a code word in case we're ever confronted by his evil clone or a cyborg doppelganger and we're not sure which is the real him and which is the imposter.

Lloyd: Some families have a fire escape plan, but not us.

Dashi, about Wuya: Can I tell her she looks nice?

Chase: Sure.

Dashi: Can I tell her I respect her?

Chase: Maybe, if she asks.

Dashi: Should I show her an oil painting I made of us surrounded by our giant dragon and four rock monsters?

Chase: …

Chase: I’d save that for later.

Guan, watching Chase do something stupid: Dashi, you're officially only the second highest risk here.

Dashi: Hell yeah! I'm gonna-

Guan: Don't finish that sentence, you'll move back up.

Spoilers ahead!!!

I really like how in the new Dragons Rising season each RGB sibling gets a trainee (kid) of their own

I mean there's Lloyd and Arin...

Lloyd: This is my student, Arin, he's so sweet and amazing he makes me want to be a better person.

Nya and Sora...

Nya: This is Sora, she's so bright and talented she reminds me of myself when I was her age.

And then there's Kai...

Kai: This is Wyldfyre. She's got rabies.

A Lego Brick Separator?

PERRY THE LEGO BRICK SEPARATOR?!

I don't know if this has been said before but I like how the heroes of each new generation of my favorite shows are just some random orange fangirl/boy of the old generation.

I rebloged this before, but I thought I'd also share my human Perry separately

My version of human Perry is a bit different than most. He's about 22 years old, Phineas, Ferb and Candace's older brother and Linda's adopted son.

He's acearo, completely verbal (mostly for plot-related reasons). He's somewhere on the ADHD spectrum and gets bored very easily even in the face of life-threatening situations if it's something he's seen before.

He doesn't mind blood and has an incredible pain tolerance, yet he's a big germophobe and really hates dust.

He is Monty's role model and Monogram thinks of him as a son (much to Carl's frustration). He's also an honorary Doofenshmirtz. He loves Vanessa like another little sister and Doctor D's crazy antics always manage to put a smile on his face when he's having a particularly bad or dull day. No Perryshmirtz though. Heinz is really more of a quirky, fun-loving uncle we all wish we had

RGB Sibs + Hugs

The way they hold each other, I can't 😭

Yes, finally someone said it! Listen guys, I'm all in for representation and all, but I think people who make human Perry short and mute are kind of missing the point. Perry is short and mute because he is a platypus, not for a platypus. He is at least avarage size compared to the other platypuses we see in the show and he definitely can comunicate in the usual way with other animals.

Like that one time he asked that beaver to free him from his bubble.

Even Layla seems perfectly able to understand what he's saying for some reason.

And if it's because of that time Phineas and Ferb built an animal-translator, I'm pretty sure he was just trying to keep his cover so he just made a random noise.

So yeah, I don't see any reason why human Perry couldn't be verbal.

Why's perry the human always mute? Dudes always talkative as an ANIMAL people just cant understand him. Its more realistic if human perry speaks only Ferblatin or something like that with doofenshmirtz to fuck with him and then goes home and speaks normal english with the flynn fletcher family

Dashi: As your best friend-

Guan: Chase is my best friend.

Dashi, holding the Sword of the Storm: As your best friend-

Kai: So what, now I'm just supposed to do everything that Nya does? What if she jumped off a cliff?

Lloyd: If Nya were to jump of a cliff, she would have done her due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry. So yes, if you see Nya jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff.

Kai: You jump off a cliff.

Lloyd: Gladly, provided Nya did first.

Same energy
