Ninjago Lloyd - Blog Posts

i have a love hate relationship with each of the ninja

A Christmas Lloyd, inspired by a gift fic that Cultured_Spaghetti on AO3 made for me :D

Cultured_Spaghetti’s work and Ninjargon translation below the cut:

’Cheer? Cheer isn’t a word where I come from!’

The 'cover' for Daughter of Darkness: Rise of the Snakes.

Next im gonna explain where he got his scars, it's gonna be a little graphic, so don't read past here if you're sensitive to that

His scars are the mixed result of bullying and fighting his dad- the 'oy' his right hand is bc of someone carving 'garmaboy' into his forearm with a rusty knife, and the facial scar is from someone throwing a broken glass bottle at him in the street. The one on his left hand is bc he fucked up his wrist in a fight and opened up a huge gash. He probably just failed miserably to throw a sword at garmadon's mech to disable it, and ended up with it in his wrist.

I’m going to add this to the list of things I want to write fic about. Holy frick I’m going to be busy after surviving my AP tests next week. Wait. I should be studying for that. Soon. Maybe.

IMAGINE!!

seeing the aftermath of lloyd becoming the conduit has me wondering what would happen if the conduit connection between him and the source dragons was suddenly severed

consider the sheer amount of power that was being shoved and channelled through lloyd brought on an onslaught of nightmares, visions, exhaustion, as well as a new long-term weight of responsibility

consider that same amount of power being ripped out of his body

i picture everything goes quiet, still, and empty in his body now that it’s not being used to channel the power of the fabric of the universe.

it makes him sick and aching. his body essentially goes through withdrawal, not being able to understand why the source dragons have left him like this

he can’t hear them anymore

I love being functionally illiterate in my technical first language. To anyone wondering, 딸랑 (tta-lang) is an onomotopia for bell sounds.

Dragon Rising Lloyds Review

Does anyone have any good fics about Lloyd struggling with dissociation because greenbean boi is canonically traumatized and stressed and I wanna read that. Or I guess I could write it myself. I might have to just write it myself.

The things I’ll do for my fandoms—

Can someone remind me about this after AP season is over? I want to write something. Like I’m serious please can someone spam me to write at least a oneshot for this after May 7th?

Do ya'll think this will have any psychological consequences or it'll just be another thing that happened to Lloyd once that's never brought up again

Silly Game Time: WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! Why are you being cancelled?

*sigh*

I messed up.

*strums ukulele*

I’m sorry.

*stares straight into camera*

I’m a greenflame shipper.

Nya: I like writing on walls fuck you society, Dan Nya

Zane: Dan Nya this is actually a door not a wall regards, society Zane

Arin: follow your dreams

Lloyd: I literally only have nightmares

Sora: question everything

Jay: why?

Kai: yo girl on a scale of one to America how free are you tonight?

Pixal: that's a great line but underneath it someone wrote

Cole: Germany 1942

HOLY SHIT THIS FIC IS SO GOOD

Also, if I had a nickel for every time I bookmarked a really good fic titled “Numb” I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

NUMB, a post-s3p1 one shot

By me @/flyingdutchman on ao3

As things come back to him in bits and pieces, Lloyd copes with the events of S3PT1.

I’d love to hear what you guys think. and I hope you enjoy the deep dive into Lloyd after this hell-of-a season.

I can’t get over how someone who may or may not have the power of energy/life can have a deaths per season rate of like 20%.

new and updated theory on the source of lloyd’s power!

in dragons rising there definitely has been lore dropped here and there but more than anything I find ammunition to power my long winded theory that lloyd’s powers come from his heart, in theoretical and just elemental sense.

doc wyatt has established there isn’t a set explanation (YET) in show, but he did like one of my tweets regarding my claim that Lloyd’s power resonates within the heart and soul.

starting out, lloyd’s power has never been defined. it is hinted by the writers that lloyd has no idea what it is, though what we do know is that it—-

1) can create life and destroy it (the book of elemental powers)

2) draw energy from the elements

3) shield oneself / very powerful in attack

4) does not belong to the source dragon of energy but belongs to the source dragon OF LIFE

5) has some sort of connection with the FSM

and lastly, by LEGO GROUP’s definition.. it’s ENERGY.

energy can have have different meanings. energy in lightning’s case seems to be the electrical sense, but energy can .. power up things, it makes things work -

energy is also used as a synonym for life force, this is demonstrated when referring to the act of draining source dragons and the whack-rats.

what i am getting at, is I believe that energy in the sense of lloyd’s powers is that he holds the essence of life itself. his power works hand in hand in his survival as well as keeps him alive.

now to connect him to LIFE , a source dragon, was very interesting but made a great deal of sense. Life is in everything, energy can create life.. who created life?

THE FSM used elemental powers to bring Garmadon and Wu into existence, he also holds the ability that past his death, he could steal lloyd from the mortal world to speak to him in the grasslands.

the elements of creation can be drawn from in their energy for lloyd, but the elements of creation were the core four.

LIFE = Lightning, Ice, Fire, Earth

so….

that also makes sense as to when he was dying in mystake’s tea shop that they had to use their elemental powers of creation to revive lloyd or heal him.

now jumping into the theory that will always be my favorite, and the show itself actually jumped into it was elemental powers being felt or drawn from different places depending on the elemental powers, ie nya with veins, zane with his mind, etc etc etc—

lloyd’s power comes from his heart in my opinion.

firstly, life—- energy is what makes the heart beat, you cannot live without that.

mentally, lloyds power has always been his true self, his heart, the way he cares so deeply for people (even if they do not deserve so)

green in spirituality also represents the heart chakra, it is very similar in description.

but as someone so close to his mortality, and who i believe is always aware of such, it makes so much sense.

in s8, when his element is fighting for him as he’s succumbing to his wounds in the fight in krytparium it sparks on his chest,

following this— the elemental master figures that were released in the SOG wave depicted different elements and where they were located differed on the ninja, lloyds was insanely insanely obvious—

overdrawing from his element has caused him great sickness multiple times. we see this with golden power, then we see this with him fainting while using his element against griefbringer in MOTM (something very opposite to his element— death)

the fact that his power kept him alive but also left him for a bit after he almost was on the brink of dying in s8

now with dragons rising and the conduit putting him in a semi coma for several days because of his mortality

he puts his hand on his heart when he approaches the imperium source dragon when saying “this place, i feel weird”

him believing he’d die from conduit power…

it’s justttt…

but that being said there is so much they could discuss about lloyd in show, whether discovering his powers, or seeing the actual scope of what they do

lloyd is very hesitant and he out of anyone never talks about his powers or how they work

but there’s so much there, like what if his elemental power could heal people or bring people back to life (other than himself LOL)

Kai and Cole's is cracking me up.🤣🤣🤣 I wonder what Lloyd's would be?👀

Omg he is made of candy

Om nom

literally cant believe i havent posted this here

"Kai is not selfish, he is selfless". That's what my friend once said.

There were often phrases from other characters in the series that poked at Kai's selfish nature (which I've never seen?). Poked at the most unnecessary moment... "First you wanted to be the green ninja, now this. When will you start thinking of something other than yourself?" when Zane died. I'm still sure that Kai thought it would be better to lose him rather than the nindroid, but he was misunderstood. "You're just worried about yourself" when Lloyd almost died, but there were huge risks of losing all of their powers and then the whole of Ninjago. I noticed that all this shit follows him literally the entire series, almost right up to season 2 of dragon rising. It seems to me that only Zane didn't call him selfish (that's why I drew him standing aside with his hands down-). And what did everyone get for it? Kai regularly risked his life to save his teammates. They didn't get a bad response, but only "close the gate, don't worry about me."

Damn, even when Kai felt love and affection from his parents for the first time in many years... The only thing Nya said was, "I bet he loves being treated like a baby." Girl...

I'm sure that words don't go away without a trace. Perhaps they haunt him like some kind of ghosts of those who said this.

I want to talk about it, I want to remind you about it.
