Chapter 1
Adriens pov
I stood at the gate of the terminal with Natalie, I wasn’t quite sure who I was supposed to be looking for but I got the idea when a boy nearly identical to me timidly stepped out. Natalie began to speak while waving him over “this is your cousin, he’s moving in with us for a little while due to issues with his father and at school. His mother hoped that sending him here would put a stop to his fathers actions while getting him away from certain people in his school.”
I wasn’t entirely sure what any of what she had said meant but I figured I would just ask him later if I wanted any semblance of an explanation.
“You are la Lloyd correct?” Natalie says to him earning a grimace
“it’s just Lloyd, but yes. Is Mr Agreste not here?”
“No. He had to take care of some important business so he sent me with Adrien to come get you.” Natalie at least had the sense to look sympathetic, the kid had just come from a whole other continent and the guy he’s supposed to live with isn’t even here to meet him.
“Alright, well it’s really stuffy in here and I just spent 12 hours on an airplane (pulled that number out of my ass) so I’m gonna go get my bags so we can leave.”
The car ride was awkward to put it lightly, despite how it had sounded in the airport Lloyd’s French wasn’t as good as I thought it was and my Mandarin wasn’t quite close enough to ningargon to really hold a conversation. I could tell that Natalie didn’t really know what to make of Lloyd which I could understand because I wasn’t sure about him either. What I did know was that plagg was interested in him, I had to shove him back in my pocket every couple minutes to prevent him from flying out and I knew Lloyd was getting suspicious of it.
When we got to the house I could tell Lloyd was surprised, his eyes went really wide as he looked around and I couldn’t help but laugh a little bit.
“This bigger than your old place?” I teased leading him to look at me with a sarcastic expression
“I lived in a two bedroom apartment one room in there is probably bigger than my house.” Natalie glanced back at us as we erupted into giggles, I wasn’t expecting us to hit it off this well and I could tell she wasn’t either. I couldn’t help but think that maybe Lloyd being around would make my home feel a little less cold.
Lloyd
Why are they so rich. Like genuinely what are they doing with all this money other then buying a massive house and doing nothing in it, furniture is so scarce in here and I bet it’s because not even the best interior designer in the world can figure out what to do with all of this space. During the ‘grand tour’ I discovered that they don’t even have anything in some of the rooms of the house and it might be the ‘grew up in an apartment’ in me but everything about this place screamed money hoarding. I did find out that Gabriel Agreste is a world famous fashion designer and his son was a model, and while it did make a lot of sense I just couldn’t see modeling being something Adrien would enjoy even though I’ve only known him for like four hours now.
“This is the state of the art security system that will be triggered whenever there is an akuma alert within 500 meters of the property.” Natalie mentioned while walking past a control panel. This made me freeze ‘what the hell is an akuma’ I thought to myself as Natalie kept walking, not noticing my pause. At the end of the tour, I sat in my new room with Adrien playing cards.
“So what is an akuma?” He looked up at this, as if not expecting these words to come out of my mouth.
“Oh it’s these evil butterflies that possess people with negative emotions and try to destroy paris to lure out ladybug and chat noir to try and get their miraculous.” I stared at him for a solid minute before i could even begin to comprehend any of the words he just said.
“You’re telling me I left one city to get rid of an insane maniac trying to destroy the place just to move somewhere where everyone is at risk of becoming an evil maniac trying to destroy the city if they get a little bit sad?” Adrien laughed a little at this
“yeah pretty much” i glanced out the window making sure not to make eye contact as I began making my decision.
“So how is it handled, do you have super heroes or is the police force competent enough to defeat them?” Adrien seems ed a little shocked at my immedimmediate assumption of super heroes
“yeah actually we have two superhero’s in Paris, ladybug and chat noir. They defeat and purify the akumas and the revert Paris to the state it was in before the akuma attacked.” I know he thinks I missed the stars in his eyes when he brought up ladybug but I’m not that dumb, Mr fanboy also seemed like he knew more about the heroes than he was letting on, I humored the thought that he could be one of the superheroes, I know most would be certain he wasn’t but something about his face when he talked about them held an air of familiarity that went beyond admiration he knew more and in order for me to decide if my assistance was needed I needed to know what he knew.
sometimes a piece of media just! grabs you by the throat and says, "hey buddy! I'm gonna irrevocably alter your brain chemistry now! have fun with that!!"
and then you just ! gotta deal with that ! you guess !!
what if after s18/Dr s2, Lloyd develops kampanophobia (the fear of bells) from the whole doom gong thing?
So, if dragons can travel between realms… and all the realms are merged now…. Does that just mean dragons can fast travel?
I made this last year in June when I saw the original floating around so I’ve determined it’s now tradition that I post it every pride month
I find it so funny that the administration kept insisting Zane was nothing more than an object because like…. they have agents who are Nindroids. Are those guys okay with their coworkers thinking of them as just items?
Oh hi tumblr account of mine I definitely remembered you
This isn’t canon I just wanted to draw Kate as a mermaid (:
This is Kate Garmadon. She’s Lloyd’s older sister, the elemental master of creation. I made her so long ago and have had to fix and alter her character because fun fact her old personality wasn’t very good and she was wayyy too over powered.
Kate’s pretty chill now though, she’s a nice person and generally gets alone with others. She does have a past that she isn’t too proud of (more on that later) and gets into drama since she’s a ninja and fighting people is kinda what they do.
She’s in the same age range as Cole, Kai and Jay and her birthday is the 29th of May. She has so many friends that started off as a running gag then I accidentally developed one and then went from there so be prepared for that.
Yeah that’s pretty much the basics this was nice to finally get off my chest and just let lose a bunch of lore. I’m impressed if anyone has made it to the end of this but thanks for reading if you did.
I finally finished the drawing I started literally 1 YEAR ago😭😭😭
Look at her :3
I tried to change it a little so it matches my current artstyle better but idk😞
it's been 9 years now and I still don't get why or how Garmadon gave Lloyd his robes while chained up in the Cursed Realm. What's up with that
I've been thinking a lot about Kai and Morro again, and specifically their parallels (dangerous thing, I know) and I just really wanted to ramble about what I've taken to calling the inferno of destiny parallel.
As a beginner ninja, both Morro and Kai dealt with arrogance, recklessness, and anger. We see this in how Morro took extremely dangerous risks to get Wu to save him, with how he assumed he was to be the green ninja when Wu told him he believed Morro was to wear green, and how Morro reacted when the weapons didn't react to him (ripping off the sliding door). We see this in how younger Kai jumps into situations without a genuine plan, how he gets angry and often (literally) explodes with fire when something frustrates him, and how he kind of defaults to the coolest person on the team/the hot one/the center of attention/etc when that's just really the immature persona he's thrown up to try and be the best.
Both Morro and Kai want to be the best at what they can do, and when they heard about a chance to be even better than their original concepts of the best (becoming the Green Ninja), both of them jumped at it.
Morro trained so hard he ended up hurting the kids he was training against and worrying Wu
Kai tried so hard to be the green ninja he ended up placing unnecessary strain on his relationships and even went so far as to risk letting people get hurt/die because he was prioritizing what he thought might get him closer to being the Green Ninja (a competitive line of thinking that Kai's been known to buy into in addition to his constant needs to try to be the best in the situation before he matures) (btw I'm talking about him originally trying to get the fang blade instead of. yknow. the CHILD about to burn lol.)
So, where do we see the shift from heroic to villanous in these two suspiciously similar characters? Well, it's when both of them are placed in an inferno scenario where they have to choose between pursuing their perceived destiny and their true destiny; hence, the inferno of destiny parallel.
Morro
When Morro searches so long to try and find a way to become the Legendary Green Ninja and rewrite destiny, he eventually finds himself in the Caves of Despair. We don't have the details of what happened, but we see the ninja try to escape Morro's fate in season 5 episode 7 titled "The Crooked Path". Here we see them encounter geysers that are releasing poisonous gases at an alarming rate, and they also spray boiling water/steam out in addition to rising the temperature to an unbearable level in the cave. It's reasonable to assume that Morro experienced a cave-in due to the caves' lack of structural integrity (also experienced by the ninja)* and then was killed either from burns from the hot steam and/or due to inhaling too much of the dangerous gasses.
The point of Morro's inferno: Morro couldn't accept the fact that he was not destined to be the Green Ninja, so he wasn't willing to turn away from his perceived destiny to save his own life. He wouldn't leave the cave because he couldn't let go of the fact that his perceived destiny wasn't his true destiny.
Kai
When Kai trains and practices to become the Green Ninja, making rash decisions (like jumping down for the Fang Blade again) and reckless choices that hurt his relationships (like barricading himself into a room to fight Garmadon for… literally no reason other than his desire to be the Green Ninja), he eventually finds himself in a similar inferno: The Fire Temple. An ancient temple constructed inside a volcano that once held the Sword of Fire, this is where the fourth and final Fang Blade is located and where the ninja must fight against Pythor and the other Serpentine generals for it. The volcano begins to erupt and collapse in on itself, and Kai ends up with a choice: save young Lloyd from his inevitable death in the erupting volcano, or try to reach the Fang Blade before it ends up in the hands of Pythor. This is the critical moment* for Kai, as he has to choose between his percieved destiny (becoming the Green Ninja and getting the Fang Blade) or his true destiny (protecting Lloyd in the hopes of saving both of their lives). In the end, he chooses to give up the thing he'd been working towards for most likely months now to try and be the best in the favor of saving a kid that used to be a massive pain in the ass (no offense, little Lloyd).
The point of Kai's inferno: Kai gave up his perceived destiny in the end, and only then was he able to unlock his True Potential in addition to being able to escape the Fire Temple safely with Lloyd and himself still alive. He was able to save himself and Lloyd because he gave up something that had felt like such a core part of his being, that he believed was his destiny, even though it turned out not to be.
He even says this himself to Sensei Wu: "I knew when I had to make a choice. I wanted the Fangblade so badly, to prove I was good enough to become the Green Ninja. But then I figured it out. All of my training to become the best ninja wasn't in preparation to become the Green Ninja. It was… to protect him." (s1e10, titled "The Green Ninja")
Kai and Morro both experience infernos that threaten their lives and rely on their ability to relinquish their percieved goals in favor of the objectively best choice in the moment. Morro was unable to give up what he truly believed was his destiny, and he ended up dead and sent to the Cursed Realm as a result. Kai was able to give up what he had been working towards for so long, and was able to save his life and Lloyd's life (especially entertaining when you remember that Kai had to give up trying to be the Green Ninja to… save the Green Ninja, lmao)
The critical moment I noted with a * for both Kai and Morro is that this point is the moment where each of them have to decide what's more important to them: what they believe is their destiny, or what would save their life. Morro tried to push through to his "destiny" and became too hurt or sick from the fumes to escape, and eventually died there. Kai gave up his "destiny" and just barely managed to escape with his life and Lloyd's.
So yes, I love the inferno of destiny parallel quite a bit! All three of these characters are very near and dear to my heart and they're rotating in my brain like a rotisserie chicken lmao
This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever drawn
But oh well
Lord Garmadon
I have always been a little bit of a ninjago enjoyer, and seeing dragons rising s2, was really fun so here's some Ninjago designs
Very clearly these are like before the merge or something and I chose to use the movie outfits for the civilian/casual design because I think they're really cute and fun to draw!! Maybe one day I'll make a design for the DR characters.
Close ups + Zane alt version
No civilian close ups because that's too many images
IVE OPENED COMMISSIONS!!!!!!!
I'm still new to all this stuff so I wanted to make them pretty cheap - I'm trying to move out and support my pets so if you like what you see shoot me a dm!
some TOS: half price expected to be paid prior to starting, second half to be paid upon completion. I reserve the right to post any of the commissions I make online - if you dislike this please send me a DM and I will take it down. Prices are non-negotiable.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and I look forward to this new venture in my art journey 🩷
Real
I'll admit. you really just gotta feel bad for nokt escaping stairs hell only to experience the most baffling and infuriating 5 minutes of his life
Yesssssss, this needs to happen!!!!! Aaaaaaaa
quick comic about nya and kai after the fall. i think nya tends to blame things on herself and in situations where she fails or thinks she’s failed, she tries to hide how much guilt she feels. but kai can always see through her facade
Here’s another one that can summarize one of my fav seasons:
A group of teenagers go to find their robot, only to find out that a different version of Silco (from arcane) who likes buttons and is not mentally sane, is trying to trap them in a evil conspiracy theory. And is Silco’s bff, Sevika is a emo middle aged man who loves snakes…
I'm bored so here is a Ninjago tag game for y'all:
Explain a Ninjago scene VERY BADLY
Me first: four local teenagers bully a child who just wanted candy (I start pretty mild I just want to see chaos ensue)
@penofwildfire @nyaskitten @fernaldoishere @gravyhoney @a-big-chicken-nerd @user-without-a-cool-acronym @iamsonormalaboutninjago @bravetheperson go nuts
Edit: forgot to mention that I will try to guess them
Hello y’all.
I have posted a poll. Please respond. Bye bye.
Hahahahahaha whyyy
Hehe that’s where he was going.
I can’t get over this fucking scene I was genuinely crying with laughter WHERES HE FUCKING GOING
I cried.
Dragons rising season 2 spoilers
Man, can we talk about how Jay and Nya love each other so much that she was able to IMMEDIATELY tell that what she was seeing wasn't real
Like, Arin believed his parents hated him, Lloyd thought Wu was disappointed and chose wrong making him leader and Sora was dragged back to Imperium, and they all thought it was real, but Nya took one look at Jay not remembering her and was like "nah, my man loves me this shit ain't real"
Me with my friends: *cries over my nonexistent love life*
airjitzu shipping because i think they’re super silly and cute god bless their little souls also ft sora being bewildered by arin’s non existent yet infinite rizz
Help.
Why tf did I laugh???😭😭😭
Call the police.
Kai : stuck in an evil dimension that only opens every I don't remember how many thousands of years ✨️
Lloyd : repeated panic attacks after the 17 seasons of trauma caught him up ✨️
Arin : looks more and more like Morro, this close to fall in the dark side ✨️
Jay : amnesic and forced to be an agent at the pseudo Matrix ✨️
What a great start for this season 😀
This is my life rn. Don’t worry tho, I am insane.
Jumping on the evil arin with another theory
He does not actually join Ras, but the offer is tempting. Maybe he even actually considers and to the others it looks like he actually takes it, just for him to turn his back on Ras and rejoin his friends. Not as heavy as the other alternatives, with the only angst coming from the time when the others don‘t know he‘s just pretending yet.
Alternatively: He takes Ras‘ offer, learning shatterspin or some other power. But then he uses it to defeat and actually kill Ras. He decides that he is no longer worthy of being on the team and takes off on his own, woth the others and especially Sora looking for him. Maybe Lloyd also has a breakdown, believing that to his fault. Much angstier than the first version anyway.
Just some random alternate ideas for an „evil“ Arin arc, idk
OKAY. OH OKAY. I AM INSANE RN.
THE FIRST IDEA IS PROBABLY SMTH THE DR WRITERS WOULD ACTUALLY DO TBH..BUT UGHDHDJSJJ THE DEVASTATION EVERYONE ELSE FEELS WHEN ARIN HAD 'TURNED' ON THEM WOULD BE SO WUDHRBEJJRJEKSJJS
AND THE SECOND ONE....WOW....WOW...CRYING DJKFNSMEKWKEJRJWMQ
HIM TURNING ON RAS, BUT THEN LEAVING THE TEAM AND TAKING OFF ON HIS OWN, UGJSNNRKEMRNDJJA DUDE....DUDE....UGHHSHWJWJDBNA I AM GOING INSANE DUDE BRSHDHDJJEMMW
