Garmadon Ninjago - Blog Posts

I was just thinking the other day about what would happen if you showed a 6 year old from 2011 the future seasons of Ninjago —yes, while there are many much more interesting developments such as Nya being a ninja and Cole learning more about his mother — you're all forgetting another, very crucial thing that seriously changed.

Lloyd and Garmadon's relationship.

Imagine some kid happily watching Garmadon rescue his son from the Fire Temple and thinking wow, for Ninjago's greatest villain, he isn't that bad of a dad. His own son's gonna be his downfall and he's actually proud of him for that. Wish he's my dad.

And then you show them crystalized and they're like:

...what the fuck happened.

I just had to do this.

Lloyd's not going down without a fight.

Inspired by this post:

Not me rewatching pirates vs ninja and laughing at the fact a four-armed guy and his reptile army got locked in the bounty's brink by some pirates — said four-armed guy's the demigod son of the first spinjitzu master, what the heck is going on—

New favourite headcanon.

So, in crystallised, the episode with Garmadon explaining where he's been, Garmadon gives a pizza delivery man one of Vinny's cameras.

But I like to think that it wasn't.

Vinny was at work during this time, right? So he had the camera with him. Yes, it could be a spare. That is most likely the truth. But going off Vinny's character, it doesn't seem like he would leave it out for Garmadon to break, at least not to me.

But I personally like to belive that it was a random dudes. Some paparazzi jerk who tried filming Garmadon when he was out so he stole it and ran. He still had it and so feels no remorse in giving it away to some delivery driver.

Plus we've seen Garmadon cares for Vinny in his sentiment "wipe your feet, Vinny just vacuumed" so it's clear he values Vinny efforts and work. Yes, Garmadon could just be a double sided asshat you doesn't give two shifts about Vinny's belongins in the tike of need and food, but it's a funny thoigh nonetheless.

This comes across more as a theory than a headcanon, but what you you think? Either way I find it funny.

Hello! I really like your teenage garmadon fanfic on ao3 and was wondering if you were planning on continuing it :)))

I'm really happy you like the fic!

So the reason the answer to this question is so freaking late is because...well there's not really much of an excuse but don't worry, i'm not abandoning that fic. It's haunting me too much.

I just updated.

It's been a hot second since i watched season 4 but imagine a scenario where when they were checking all EMs for the anacondrai tattoo they were also checking Garmadon.

Homeboy dodged a bullet then and there when no one went to check him. Sure the ninja know he's on their side but the other EMs would instantly lose faith in the ninja.

They're harbouring this random old guy who's not even a part of the tournament and just forced himself in in the first place, Chen's being actively antagonistic to him (a ruse?) and now to top it all off this guy is apparently one of Chen's goons hiding right under their noses.

In canon that got exposed so late when all suspicions were already cleared. But any earlier and it would have been a mess

My favorite headcannon is that Lloyd really liked keeping plants until christofern came along. After that, they just cause him rage.

Gotta love the fact this is Lego's way of saying think twice before getting a tattoo.

How did hellspawn react to Lloyd Oni form?

She's just...frozen. There's no way that thing attacking the Overlord is her dad even though she just saw him turn into it, right?

Sure, she's seen him angry before. She's seen him frustrated — she's seen him annoyed on several occasions. But she's never once seen the rage. Not from him. That's never been him.

Yet, it currently is now. And it's... quite a sight.

She ends up seeing it again after crystalized— apparently, one of her grandfather's awkward attempts to mend things with her dad just happens to be helping him further explore and control his Oni side. If Lloyd had his way he'd pull himself as far as possible from that part of himself and never think of it again, but Wu makes him do it with a "Face your fear before it faces you", a.k.a another dose of hated wisdom no one asked for.

In the end, he's standing in the courtyard with the father who made the fucked move of faking his death, and is now letting him help him.

And of course, there just has to be a whole crowd secretly watching even though he'd very much like it if they minded their own businesses but in his experience, nothing ever goes his way.

At some point, Garmadon voices his curious thoughts of whether hellspawn has an Oni form. Lloyd adamantly told him there's no way in hell he's dragging her into this and Garmadon kept quiet...for now.

One night, Lloyd got really violent—apparently Lord G pissed him off so horribly just to get him to turn into an Oni and as a result, he ended up destroying most of the courtyard while attacking Garmadon. His friends tried to step in to get him under control but that didn't work—nothing worked until hellspawn called him fearfully causing him to suddenly stop what he was doing and look at her. Realizing she's genuinely afraid of him, Lloyd turns back.

But as time passed, Lloyd started getting more in control of his Oni form to the point he has no problem whatsoever with walking around the monastery in it. Oni are a LOT more overprotective over their young—which is annoying to hellspawn but his fur and horns are nice.

Hi.Since hellspawn is created the same way spinjitsu brothers are,shouldn't she age slower and/or be semi-immortal?Are Oni interested in her,because she looks human, has Oni blood,but also Dragon aura or smth bc she is created by the golden power?Also,how does she take Nya's departure in Seabound?

I would say she ages like Lloyd did but is semi-immortal just like him — well, the latter is what he hopes. (He's not planning on outliving her because of his fucked up heritage) He's still learning what traits his powers managed to give her that day, but genetically, she's all Lloyd.

So far, the only actual Oni she's ever spent time with was Mystake — and that wasn't even for very long or under good circumstances. All she got from that tea addict during S9 was that 'she's a curious case' — whatever that means. Lloyd doesn't get it either but he's too exhausted being the emotionally drained character in Hunted to ask.

Her quarter demon grandfather smelled that she was part Oni in Hunted at some point while holding her captive, but she didn't understand what the heck was going on other than this was her Grandpa who she hadn't seen in...a while. And he now looked weird too.

She didn't interact with any full-blooded Oni in MoTo, unfortunately. :(

She has some dragon traits too though — the frequent chewing on Lloyd's hair and any attempt to eat any object within distance is the dragon side speaking. And Lloyd remembers having the urge to purr while holding her when she was a baby—and actually doing it on one occasion. Now, he's not sure if that was from the Oni or Dragon...or just him. Sensei G never said anything about doing it when he was younger. And Lloyd never blurted out the question either—in his defense, he thought it was weird at that time.

And in not Sensei G's defense, he was passing by Lloyd's room when it happened so of course he knew what was happening—only, he didn't say anything. Just smiled and remembered the moments a much younger him used to soothe his newborn son that way.

Nya's departure doesn't feel real to hellspawn until after they've had her memorial. That's when it truly sinks in that her Aunt Ni's really gone. It's quite odd for her to think about—Nya's always been so untouchable.

But then she finds out Nya isn't actually dead and just...left. She left but they're holding a memorial. She left but they're acting like she's gone for good and will never come back. They're mourning her.

Well, a while after that she realizes the difference between dead and gone for good. Aunt Ni's still out there but she's never coming back. She can't come back. Whatever she did to save Ninjago won't let her walk through the monastery doors and get everyone to stop being sad. She'll never be in the hangar bay working on something with Aunt Pix & Uncle Zane or hoard all the coffee with Kai. She'll never be in the kitchen helping Jay fix something that's perfectly fine or dance-training with him in the courtyard. She'll never be seen painting Cole's sketches and showing them to him. She'll never firmly tell her dad to get some sleep or sit with him when he can't again.

She'll never be in front of her listening to her talk or take her for another swim. She'll never come back.

She's not coming back.

Hellspawn becomes very quiet in the months after that. Lloyd notices it and has a talk with her even though he knows he isn't fine himself. But all hellspawn does is nod and bite her lip at whatever he says.

Do you think Hellspawn and Lloyd have the connection type thing Garm and Lloyd had in S8?

Oh I wish they could. :( But I don't know whether the FSM himself had that kind of link with his two sons or not. Hellspawn and Lloyd having this type of connection would only make sense if his grandfather did too, unfortunately.

Right, this is gonna sound really fucked up — and you're all going to hate me for this — but I actually want Lloyd to die at some point in the show.

And that...is because of these two:

Give me a dumb scene about Kai and Garmadon yelling at each other because of each other's grief and eventually having this moment of clarity where they realize that Lloyd wouldn't want them to do this and all that shit. Give me Kai spitting out "he was my brother" and Garmadon replying with an anguished "he was my son" and them connecting with one another through their grief. Give me a plot of a season that doesn't end with them bringing Lloyd back. Get Garmadon and Kai to sort out their differences throughout their shared loss or whatever. Y'all don't understand how much I need this.

Headcannons for the Hellspawn AU

The Kid

Basically just like Lloyd. Pale blonde hair, red eyes. Kinda has her dad's fangs.

Has a sweet tooth even worse than Lloyd's and Cole's. Lloyd used to give in to her demands until Zane knocked some sense into him about why not to give too much sugar in children.

Of all the ninja and other than her dad, Cole's her favorite. Just look at his interactions with little Wu and you'll see why.

As a toddler, she was a mischievous little runt, and once when lloyd was trying to take something from her, she bit him. Yes, she bit the guy who GAVE her the fangs.

She drove Lloyd crazy when she was an infant. Greenie was literally about to burst into tears when Sensei G noticed one night and decided to help him. In the end, Sensei G had two kids to console. One was his crying grandchild, and the other was his stressed out son.

Her first word wasn't papa or dada. It was sugar. Lloyd still hasn't forgiven her for that, but the others find it hilarious, considering that he'd once said he couldn't love anything more than candy.

Once, she got her hands on Lloyd's sword because of amazing parenting. Yeah...just thank the fsm that Kai was there before she could get other ideas.

But on another occasion, she managed to get her hands on Nya's knives by sneaking into her room on the bounty. The first thing she did when she toddled out was chase a shrieking Jay while holding them. My poor man was hysterical.

Because of her father's request, she was kept out of the spotlight all her life. The media didn't know Lloyd had a kid until after Stiix. And yup, that just means the fan girl craze in S6 was even worse.

She used Montrositea on a plant during Wu's Teas. And it also went after Jay.

Lloyd

Poor bean suffered some minor hair loss in S3-pre S5. Half of it was because his kid kept pulling it while the other half, was actually the result of him often pulling at it in frustration at how hard it is to raise a mini version of himself.

But don't worry, he's fine now. (Kai just threatened to kill him if he even dared to touch his hair for no reason, and Pixal recommended some other ways to help him calm down)

At first, he was really hesitant to let her ride with him on his dragon because of the fear of her falling off. However, when he saw Cole give her the ride she'd been asking for quite a while and nothing happened, he finally stopped being paranoid. (It totally wasn't because he was jealous of Cole)

Funnily and sadly enough, the first bedtime story Lloyd ever read to her was Jack the Rabbit — a.k.a, the book Wu read to him in Season 1 in Never Trust A Snake — a.k.a the one about not trusting snakes. Well to be fair, she could've also inherited his brain cells and stupidity and do the same thing his nine-year-old self did so.....yeah, this is completely warranted.

He sews his kid her own clothes when he has the time — we all saw his sewing skills in that Darkley's episode — he's good at it, guys.

Sometimes, he wonders if there will be a day she'll inherit his element and he'll lose his powers. Not that he's being selfish — he's just worried about how he's going to continue being a ninja without his powers. He had a kid young so he's going to lose his powers young. That's kind of a tough pill to swallow, especially considering how he was at the beginning of S9.

He often thinks that he's the worst choice of a parent but despite that, he still tries his best. Even if he knows he's still trying to figure out things.

Nya

Hellspawn usually calls her Aunt Ni, because when she was younger, "NI-YA" was a lot harder to pronounce. So Ni just stuck.

She's the best aunt — who also won't hesitate to reprimand her little brother's offspring when necessary. And give Lloyd a piece of her mind for enabling her on some occasions too — which are a lot of occasions, actually.

Nya loves dolling her up, you know? Helping her do her hair, buying her clothes etc. And she teaches Lloyd different styles to do it himself when she has the chance (cuz this dude was panicking the entire time of not knowing how tf to do hair)

She taught hellspawn swimming when she was really young. Kai thought she was trying to kill her lol.

Also, she constantly loves cheekily comparing how raising S1 Lloyd was to helping to raise his hellspawn. Lloyd's daughter is a little better behaved than the 'lil terror Lloyd was, so she guesses somebody must be doing a good job, then.

Kai

Kai often gives Lloyd some tips about childcare since he practically raised Nya himself.

He told his honorary niece about the time Lloyd had a wannabe overlord phase and demanded candy from an entire village, so Lloyd put green dye in his hair gel.

Ever since he made Lloyd a sword, hellspawn's been pleading for him to make her one. Jay always begs Kai to not do it each time (well to be fair, the poor guy's still traumatized from that one game of tag. we can't blame him)

She spends the most time with kai during winter because that's when this man feels like a fucking furnace. Like, she'll just lie in his arms with no intentions of leaving them until the season's over and not even Lloyd can take her from him.

Jay

Jay, being the Master of Lightning, was the one who comforted her when she was afraid of storms.

Just like Lloyd, I believe this man has a candy stash...and one day when she couldn't figure out where her dad hid his candy after she found it the night before, she decided to go after Jay's.

Jay and Nya teamed up to build her a little toy for Christmas once. She loved it so much that she threw it at Lloyd to show it to him and it hit him squarely on the face. (ouch) But the toy survived though!

Cole

The favourite uncle, self-explanatory.

Won't hesitate to pick her up when she asks. She really likes sitting on his shoulders since it's higher up than the others.

She actually likes it when Cole sings, and the Glow Worm song is her favorite. Jay's just convinced that the song had damaged her hearing at some point which is probably why her ears love Cole's singing. Oh well.

When Cole was a ghost, she was sad that he couldn't hug her like he used to but she eventually got used to it. She then ended up loving running into Cole and phasing through him whenever she could and since Cole was a ghost for more than a whole year, it was hard to make her remember the fact that running through him right now wasn't such a good idea.

Zane

Zane taught Lloyd some tricks such as the one where parents blend vegetables into smoothies so kids don't taste it. Lloyd's first thought was that Zane had definitely done this before when he'd been younger, while Cole remains horrified to this day that his favorite cake contains beetroot.

Zane often helps her with her homework when she doesn't understand something.

During summer, she does the same thing she did with Kai during winter. And Nya's the only one who can get her off him, mostly because hellspawn can just ask her to splash her instead.

Ninjago AU: What if Lloyd sacrificed himself instead of Garmadon?

Don’t know if this has been thought of before but I’m going to continue anyways

We all know during the tournament of elements Garmadon sacrificed himself for the elemental masters to win but instead while he’s about to be taken by the cursed realm something pushes him away and when he turns back it’s Lloyd getting taken away and his last words are that he wishes for his father to live a good life even if he’s missing despite Garmadon shouts that he doesn’t do this but it’s too late as the realm has taken his son he’s paralyzed by the pain and just breaks down in sobs and pleas for the cursed realm to take him instead and to give back his son all to no avail.

They build a memorial for Lloyd but the pain Garmadon feels is unimaginable. He is in constant grievance shutting everyone out and just wanting to be alone. Taking frequent trips to the memorial where he’ll spend countless nights there because he doesn’t want to go back where everything feels empty without him. Wu and Misako try everything to cheer him up but nothing works yet they don’t give up and keep trying until Garmadon snaps at them which is when they give him space. Not only is he mourning but he’s trying to find a way to get Lloyd back without needing a sacrifice and without raising suspicions from others.

Then comes to the events of Possessed and Morro is free from the cursed realm in search of the green ninja but he doesn’t find anything in the city but spots an old man that reminds him of Wu and follows him to the gravesite of the green ninja much to his dismay as he wanted to take him down instead he appears and demands the man to take him to Wu before immediately getting blasted away which makes him realize the man is Garmadon, Wu’s brother, putting the pieces together he sees that he is mourning over the green ninja which just so happens to be his son and his son looks identical to a certain blond haired boy within the Preeminent.

Morro then gets an idea of how he’ll get the realm crystal and starts by telling Garmadon that he’s seen Lloyd and knows how to get him out(lying about getting him out) and Garmadon so desperate to reunite with his son agrees to help him even though it’ll mean fighting against his brother but he doesn’t care, his son will be coming back and that is all that matters. And well, you can imagine the rest from there ;)

Will there be any new chapter of “so you came back to me”?, I just finished reading it, it’s absolutely amazing! Your writing style is soo good!

It's great to know there are people still finding my fics. ❤️:D And the answer is yes, there will be new chapters of So You Came Back To Me.

However-

I have a national exam in late Feb, which is why I haven't been updating my fics as of late. It really sucks cuz there's a LOT of stuff I want to toss into my fics, but at the end of the day I guess I have to hold myself back if I ever plan on getting into college. :( Hopefully I'll be back to writing around mid March — when I'm finally done with highschool. I have every mind of finishing So You Came Back To Me. I just need to put my focus on some stupid papers first. Really sorry for the lack of updates.

Shackles Broken, Enemy Awoken

Starset - Something Wicked

Is this where the liar ends?

Dark where the light had been 

Lost at the war within

Out of myself, I feel it crawling 

How can I tell if this is the ending? 

Out of myself it began evolving 

I am not well, repent I'm guilty

---

[A scene that I had planned to be in a fanfic of mine that was discontinued but has a rewrite in process. Enjoy.]

From the moment his son had cleansed his blood of the evil that was the Devourer's venom, Garmadon was a good man.

Or at least he had tried to be. And here he was, chained up in a realm he could no longer remember the name of, memories drifting further and further apart until he was stranded, alone. But still, he held on.

He missed his son. He missed Lloyd.

Garmadon only wished he was able to see him again. It had been too long, a memory of Lloyd's face, green eyes like his filled with the torment that Morro had brought upon him, along with the permanent eye bags that crinkled with Lloyd's uneasy smile.

Time kept stretching on under endless sky, or what he could judge of it. He was losing faith. This was what he deserved anyway. Endless imprisonment, a price paid for sacrificing himself. Or was it for destroying the lives of many?

Then he heard it. A call from beyond. From the emerald green murkiness, came a feminine voice. Garmadon yelped in his spot as winds suddenly whiplashed him as they passed, heading in a certain direction. He could do nothing as the air-turned blades slashed at his skin.

A laugh followed. Garmadon looked down at himself, attempting to distract himself from the pain. A chill washed over him, instead of the relief he so desperately wanted. A line, dark as night, began to snake up his skin, turning all it touched into the same colour.

His left hand was already in such condition, lines thickening as they curled up his arm, reaching deep into his bones and stealing away the warmth that lay underneath. Like a bad omen, he felt its evil grasp him in its unforgiving grip.

It was not yet done. Garmadon whimpered quietly, attempting to fight it with crumbling memories of a family left behind, torn apart by his departure. There was no stopping his unbecoming. His return to the old self.

A scream tore itself from his throat, tormented cries lost in the raging wind that hurtled past him. Something he could no longer feel on his skin. A scream so raw it left what remained of his lungs aching with heartbreak, with the great loss that came with this, tears beginning to stream down his face.

No one else but him heard.

And then the worst came.

''I call upon thee lord of many names. Lord of Destruction! King of Shadows! Lord Garmadon! Garmadon!'' The voice called again, this time clearer despite the wind.

''Who... calls... me!?'' The growl echoed from him. But it wasn't him, it couldn't have been... Garmadon had worked so hard... but to come back to this? The chains rattled in their place. He felt a heat searing his eyes, red briefly covering his vision.

Then it was gone. Like he had just begun a race, Garmadon- no, Lord Garmadon, began to pant, leaning over. The rattling suddenly became a pain in his ears. Another growl and he tugged at them. A strength that wasn't there before clawed at his restraints.

Lord Garmadon snarled as he began to break free, the metal breaking under newfound strength, then looked around as he tried to locate the source of the voice that had called to him.

The last of Sensei Garmadon was gone once both of his restraints were broken. And whoever needed him now, whoever that was, now only a blurry memory of a boy with blond hair that would never get him back.

Her voice came again. Garmadon stumbled towards the sound, relying only on his hearing, his sight useless to him. All that mattered now was the voice. And only the voice.

It all fell silent. The wind stopped. He faltered. There was no familiar sound, the one thing he had grown to want to get to was gone.

Lord Garmadon screamed at the walls, clawing at his confines, falling to the ground as his twisted hopes were dashed. He narrowed his eyes. There was a way.

And he was going to escape.

At the Temple of Resurrection, the altar lay bare of the items it once held, the room dark and emptied. Then, the room was lit with purple flames.

A hand emerged from the pedestal.

Something wicked this way comes.

Can't believe that these live in my head while starring the most hurtful line in Ninjago history.

Lloyd comes home with his report card: Dad, I failed Chinese—

Garmadon: I have no son.

........................

Lloyd, comes out as trans: I don't think I belong in this body, Dad.

Garmadon: I have no son.

.....................................................

Garmadon: I have no so—

Lloyd interrupts him: But you still owe me about nineteen years of child support—and yes, the Tomorrow's Tea actually counts.

...........

Bonus,

Garmadon: I have no son.

Also Garmadon moments later: picks up Christofern.

The Garmadon comic is confirmed canon, and it ends in a place where they could make more of it, but my brain is unable to reconcile the comic Garmadon and Crystalized Garmadon as the same character

With his track record and absolutely terrible excuse of signature luck, you would've thought that nothing could surprise him at this point. But in his defence, Lloyd supposes that not ever expecting this warranted an excuse at least. Especially during a time like now.

...all he'd done was gone to sleep. For crying out loud—that was basically it, so how the hell—

Or; Five days after witnessing his brothers' deaths at the hands of the Colossus, Lloyd gets a chance, a chance to go back, live again and fix it all, while in the body of the kid he hates the most.

And surprisingly, it soon turns out that he isn't the only one with such luck. .

It's probably gonna be just me, but does anyone else wish there could be a scene in the show where resurrected Garmadon saves Lloyd in a volcano?

This might seem like I'm a sucker-for-angst-starving for a callback to Season 1 about their relationship, and that's true. I just really want a reference in the show to when Garmadon saved little Lloyd from falling into lava fifteen seasons ago and start crying as I compare it to the scene in The Green Ninja.

And imagine current Lloyd's emotions when he realizes why this feels so familiar.

So my dad has this habit of sending me random quotes every morning in hopes something will go into my brain for once, and today's quote was this:

Please, how were they even supposed to know that a teenage Lord Garmadon would end up at the monastery?

an underwordly visit for the wip thing?

An unfinished fic written from pre-pilot Garmadon's pov (after he was banished, of course) and it's just him having a seemingly normal day in the Underworld only for a portal to suddenly open up and spit out two unconscious strangers at his feet.

....yeah. 😅

One of them is none other than our resident Green Ninja — who Garmadon suspects is a student his brother recruited and sent to the Underworld to challenge him, while the other one is a girl around the Green Ninja's age with the most bleached pinned up hair he's ever seen in his life.

And on top of that, there's also something else lying on the ground; an Oni Mask.

So Garm does the obvious. He snaps at the Skulkin to shove these two in a cage and takes the mask for himself to examine it — it's definitely an Oni mask, alright, but how the heck did these two have it?

Some time passes, and he receives news that one of the prisoners has awakened. Hearing this, Garm wastes no time making his way to the Underworld dungeons, and sees the conscious one is none other than the Green Ninja.

Upon seeing him, Lloyd's eyes go wide. Garm is highly confused at this, and just when he is about to make a sarcastic remark about trespassing, Lloyd calls him Father. That completely takes the King of Shadows by surprise, but it doesn't last long, because the next thing that happens is that Garmadon immediately slaps him.

Garm then starts snarling at him for stooping low enough to masquerade as his son, because 1) he hasn't been banished long enough for him to suddenly have an almost adult son and 2) last time he checked, Lloyd had red eyes, not green. It's only then that Lloyd realizes that he time-traveled.

Unfortunately, when he starts asking Garm what year it is, Garm's only thought is that this ninja's screwing with him — which really pisses off our Dark Lord, by the way. After a while, Lloyd starts getting frustrated himself and Harumi wakes up. Garm's just about to snark something at her as well but goes silent once he sees her reaction to him. She looks excited, as though she's just met her idol. Lloyd gets really irritated seeing this and these two get into an argument with Garmadon confusedly watching.

Inside the cage, Lloyd's basically just putting all the blame on Harumi by accusingly saying that she definitely did something with the mask, and now it's her fault his own father doesn't want to believe he's his son. Harumi's just unfazed at this — because technically, she got to meet Garmadon. This infuriates Lloyd even more, and soon, there's nothing other than yelling coming from the cage.

This goes on until Garm himself steps in and barks at them both to stop. The two go silent — which is an absolute relief to Garmadon's eardrums (who can blame him?). Then, he starts asking who they are, and why they have the mask. Lloyd opens his mouth to once again say he's his son only for Harumi to cut him off by saying who she is.

...and after that, I don't know what to add lol.

This one is one of those time-travel fics I promised I would chuck in the No Parties To Crash So Why Not The Past series — but obviously, there's only one fic currently in that thing — so yeah, this one's still depressingly unfinished at that moment.

Whens the next chapter for so you came back for me coming out🥲

I need to know what happensss

It'll be a while, I think? *sweats nervously* Although chapter five's already at 4.5k words so far, it's far from finished. I guess this one is going to be a bit longer than the rest I've put out so I apologize for the wait. 😅

Do you wish that garmadon didn't become evil?

I do, because first of all, this family definitely deserves to be happy without a baby snake's venom screwing it over — but then again, Garm not being evil would take so much away from the show and make it boring without the whole "doomed to fight your own son" thing so I guess...

It was right making him evil.

BUT SOMEBODY GIVE THIS GUY HIS HAPPINESSES PLS😭

With his track record and absolutely terrible excuse of signature luck, you would've thought that nothing could surprise him at this point. But in his defence, Lloyd supposes that not ever expecting this warranted an excuse at least. Especially during a time like now.

...all he'd done was gone to sleep. For crying out loud – that was basically it, so how the hell –

Or; Five days after witnessing his brothers' deaths at the hands of the Colossus, Lloyd gets a chance, a chance to go back, live again and fix it all, while in the body of the kid he hates the most.

And surprisingly, it soon turns out that he isn't the only one with such luck. .

Basically what if current Lloyd meets baby him. Logic is a foreign concept, you have been warned.

Lloyd to his younger self : What on Earth possessed you to get that haircut?

Younger Lloyd : What on Earth possessed you to look like this? Did you fill in your eyebrows or something?

Lloyd : uh, no—

Younger Lloyd cuts him off : and why are your eyes green anyway? Did you put contacts on because you disowned dad? Are...are you ashamed of dad?

Lloyd : .....

Younger Lloyd crosses his arms : Well?

Lloyd : I — I —

Younger Lloyd : yeah, you what?

Lloyd, literally about to break down sobbing : He disowned me!

This was funnier in my head lol.

THINGS I REALLY WISH GARM HAD THE BRAINCELLS TO WISH FOR USING THE MEGA WEAPON...

(I'm just pissed someone got their hands on a wish granting souvenir and basically... wasted it)

1. A wish to instantly turn Ninjago into his image. - (sighs) My man did everything he could to get to that point without just wishing for it instantly himself and taking the easy route. I fucking love this guy. ❌

2. A cure for the goddamned venom. - you'd think this one would be the most obvious of them all right? But apparently our Dark Lord didn't see that it was so here we are. (Though, sometimes I headcannon that he DID in fact try it, but it didn't work. I mean, the Golden Weapons were made by the FSM and even HE couldn't cure his own son so...) I'll give this a pass. ✅

Okay, I know the first two are the obvious ones. But let's move on.

3. Go back in time and I don't know...maybe STOP the Devourer's bite from happening in the first place, I GUESS? For fuck's sake, my dude literally DID use the weapon to go back in time in Episode 19, but did he decide to use it for this? Oh hell, no. ❌ But imagine if he DID though, but something goes wrong and Wu gets bitten instead. And the next thing he knows, he's pulled back to the present (because I'm just going to pretend the Mega Weapon has some screwed-up time limit) and sees the future he caused...and tries to fix it. (Because absolutely nothing goes as planned in canon and fanon)

4. A wish to strip his son of the prophecy. - Look, I get it. You're horrified you have to fight your own child to death and you've somehow managed to kinda accept it in later episodes of Season 2. Okay. So why not just wish Lloyd wasn't the Green Ninja? It wouldn't even hurt him. - The wish could still somewhat backfire by the role going to someone like Kai or the other ninja for example. But do you have to still stomach the realization you have to destroy your own son? Well, not really, huh? ❌

5. A wish to turn Lloyd back into a child. - So he was ambushed by the ninja in Episode 19 and that was when he first saw his son's...growth spurt, I guess? He was straight up horrified, but was it because he realized Lloyd lost his childhood or because he knew that this meant the Final Battle was drawing closer? An easy fix would be to just make him younger instead of... opening a portal into the past. He'd have more time to prepare and plus, this would also mean Lloyd could still have a childhood. And I don't think the ninja would try to pressure Lloyd to take Tomorrow's Tea again, now that he's got a second chance. Maybe Lloyd would argue though, but I doubt they would've let him.

@l0on i hate (/j) that you've relogged bunch of art of them and now i've been thinking abt these two orz

Oh and ig they're more or less 10 years old here

Also *drops this and run*

Does the fandom still remember that during episode 12 or episode 13 of Season 1, Garm was basically about to buy Traveller's Tea to go back to the Dark Realm? It was only when he saw the Great Devourer destroying the city that he decided to stay in Ninjago to help the ninja. Okay, but what if AFTER THAT he went back to Mystake and bought the tea???

Well the Mega Weapon wouldn't exist, for one — that's unless my dude decided to still take the Golden Weapons with him to do FSM-knows-what though. I just don't think he would've made the Mega Weapon. There's no Golden Peaks in the Dark Realm right?

I'm basically rambling about a Season 2 AU where instead of staying in Ninjago after defeating the Great Devourer, Garmadon went to the Dark Realm like he'd initially planned to. The ninja train Lloyd like usual, and of course — this kid just had to have ended up with double the abandonment issues. Maybe the Final Battle would have actually happened years later, since Garm wasn't in Ninjago so he didn't find the Dark Island. And yeah, the kid wouldn't have missed his childhood because no Mega Weapon = No Grundle. There's no Soto either. No Bizzaro Ninja. But there's still the Serpentine Generals and Skales to cause trouble for the season.
