OHHHH THATS GENIUS WAIT
No u fr cooked with that
I'd love to add that with your permission!
Very rough outline of my monstrosity au. I call it Odyssey!Kai. Yes it's an epic the musical pun. I'm very happy with it
Oooo been thinking about this for a hot minute. Was in my drafts for longer.
In this one, Kai doesn't find the bounty. Nya does. So she finds Lloyd first and traverses the merged lands for information. This, of course, creates irreparable damage to our boy. He does not go home early this time.
The imperium arc goes different too, Lloyd getting sentimental seeing Wyldfyre, her being fire adjacent and all. After they get back to the Monastery, Zane actually becomes Wyldfyres mentor. The reason is that he finds her endearing and sees himself in her (not knowing who you are or where you came from). I have concept art rotting in my gallery, but it's not done yet sowy.
S2 has 4 major changes. Wyldfyre is slightly calmer, Lloyd has visions of both the bloodmoon and a mysterious figure cloaked in fur and blood (that he can't help but feel pain for, he doesn't know why), Nya learns dragon rising technique first, and Cole gets sacrificed instead of Kai. Besides that, mostly the same. Maybe they struggle a bit with the Ras showdown, but it ends the exact same way with Nokt free.
S2 p2 has the most differences. For one, Geo and the finders live with the ninja now. He feels guilty for letting Cole 'die' like that, so he's thrown himself into training.
Next, Cole isn't doing that bad in the ns. He's got bonzle, and enough stories to last a lifetime. He's fine.
Zane and Wyldfyre bond more. He tells her about Kai, and how they'd get along, and she is ecstatic. Another fire user, how exciting!
Arin and sora are still looking for his parents. Still find the matriarch.
Meanwhile, Kai has all but lost it. He isn't insane, but his morals have all but been destroyed. The only thing he cares about is getting back to his family, and anything and anyone that comes in between that has died or burned to death. The guardian dragon and fire knight mech are his permanent companions, and respect his decision to change his values. One cannot survive being in the land of the monsters without becoming one themselves, anyway.
The tournament of sources plays out the exact same. Although, when Jay and Nya fight, he actually comes very close to winning. That is, until a fire ball the size of a car chucks Jay into the nearest wall.
When the source dragons send out those little messages for each elemental master, Kai actually gets one since he hasn't encountered ras yet. The messenger dragon leads him out of the realm of monsters, but it's still pretty far. He gets there, but it takes a day or two. Or three. That's why he's late.
The reunion is short-lived, as he's arrested for interfering with a match. At least attempted to. You cant really try when He destroys all the bots faster than you can blink. Oh yeah, the guardian dragon and fire knight mech are there too. So.
He beelines to Nya, hat and mask coming off, and they hug in a mess of limbs on the floor. Theres sobbing, and its not from the girl I'll tell you.
That's all I have so far. Will update hehehehe
To celebrate my return from break (and to release my pent-up thoughts), I proudly present: Bie's ninja headcanons! 1 silly, 1 angsty LEZGO
Kai first!! (Because fucking duh have you seen my blog)
– Has a separate bathroom for all his skincare and haircare stuff. The team makes fun of him for it regularly, but whenever there's another time crunch mission or something extremely stressful in general, he always looks the best. Maybe some eyebags here and there, but other than that, he's glowing.
– His coping mechanism is self blame. Team falls apart? His fault. Mission accident? His fault. Ninja captured? His fault. Innocents hurt? His fault. His friends in actual fatal danger? HIS FAULT. He used to lash out at others because of this mindset, but now he just sits with himself while anxiously waiting for someone to tell him what to do (in fear of messing up things even more) it's what drove him to the sidelines during planning and battle, he's afraid his "reckless" attitude will jeopardize everything. (He doesn't acknowledge that he's gotten better. He doesn't acknowledge that most of his hotheadedness is a farce. He won't acknowledge that his fears are irrational.)
Zane aww the baby the dude the little awww
– Has been betrothed to Pixal for YEARS already. Like, shortly after s10. He saw Jays proposal, saw Pixal have a physical body, and it just clicked in his head that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with his other half. He was so touched that he spent hours sourcing the perfect yinyang pendant, planning everything to the tiniest, most insignificant detail, only for her to be the one to get down on one knee. He cried a little (a lot)
– Was so genuinely hurt and upset at the administration calling him "equipment." When he got back to the Monastery he instinctively tried to find his safe place (Pix), only for him to be absolutely crushed when he realized that she simply wasn't there. He drowned himself in analytics and background work simply because if he thought about it too much he'd have a breakdown. But he can't have that. He needs to find pixal, right?
Cole ceo of goober town
– Is an actual god at cooking now. Seriously, he can make anything taste Michelin quality with a handful of ingredients. He prefers baking, though, for obvious reasons.
– Was isolated from his peers while he was in school, solely because he fought a lot. Kids would run away from him, spread rumors, or try to avert his path on a daily basis. Faculty tried to contact his father whenever things would escalate, but he was too busy drowning in alcohol to pay attention to his sons education.
Nya!!!!
– Contrary to popular belief, Nya is absolutely a bigger hothead than Kai. On a bad day, you can sniffle, and she'd just go off on how unhygienic the monastery was and start spite-cleaning only for the others to offer to help out of pure fear. This is her way of getting out of chores. Kai is onto her but finds it so funny how everyone scrambles to keep her from exploding.
– Her first word was "Hungry." She knows this. When she asked Kai what her first word was out of curiosity, he lied and said it was "mom." She went to ignacia for a simple errand and that was when she found out. An old shopkeeper said he remembered a barely 4 year old girl with sunken cheeks point at his produce and babble "hnngry.. unggry." Now, when people ask what her first word was, she'll still say "Mom."
The Master of jig (Jay)
– LOVESSS his parents but hates to admit it. Not because he finds it embarrassing, but because his folks will not shut up about it even after months. He'll go, "Yknow I love you a lot, right ma, pa?" And they will throw a legitimate PARTY FOR IT. When the ninja found out about it, the teasing lasted for exactly 7 months.
– The only thing he remembers after the merge are calloused, wrinkly hands holding him like he's the most precious thing in the world. He doesn't know who, or why, but he's determined to find out.
Laloyd
– The softest, shiniest, bounciest hair you will ever feel. He has never touched a single hair product in his LIFE. It's been Kai's mission to ruffle that hair atleast twice a week ever since he did it back when they were younger.
– Has burned every single photo of him and his father together after the events of s10. Every time he's reminded of how much he aspired to be like him when he was younger he gets physically sick. He could never idolize someone like that. Who views lives like collateral damage. Never. Never again.
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
You must let go of what once was
Let it go as a wave
You must leave it all to survive
You must get back
(I will draw something actually better later I don’t have good time right now sorry folks </3)
THE ORIGIBAL PIC IS SO CUTEEEE WHY ISNT THIS MORE POPULAR (rgb sibs too ofc)
Redraw from this cute pic :3333
i'm sorry (not) to people who know me irl
Thought came to me randomly, but thinking about influencer ghost Cole. Wait hear me out it's hilarious
He has this YouTube channel where he goes to abandoned hotels and buildings and just... haunts them for a few days. Like 2-3 days but on a really boring month 5 days. He then leaves a complicated and well thought out review on how enjoyable it was to haunt the place, then inevitably leaves a rating of 1-10 like;
Cole: Ventilation is good, same with the area, but the lack of people to scare really lowers the whole experience. 5/10 maybe might haunt again.
And plot twist, thousands of ghosts actually take his reviews very seriously so hotels and homeowners have to leave a 'Not accepting haunt reviews' sign on the entrance to make sure they don't scare away guests. But Cole goes In anyway during closing hours because thats when the haunting stuff really starts tbh
Ive never been more related to a post in my life
My own mother who birthed me doesn't even know how much I love this silly Lego man
Kai
totally forgot to post this here too
Monstrosity is really recontextualizing that Kai and Lloyd reunion in everyone's minds, huh?
Like now I can't help but imagine that the two of them just stood hugging each other like that for a really long time, neither of them saying a word, because Lloyd was so incredibly lonely and of course was overjoyed to have his big brother back, but then he notices that Kai is holding him just a tiny bit tighter than normal and maybe even trembling a bit, and from Kai's pov he's not giving anything away about how close he is to breaking down as the reality washes over him that he finally has one of his loved ones back, because it's Lloyd and he always has to be strong for him, he can't have him worry about him, but Lloyd notices anyway that something is wrong and let's him hold him a bit longer, knowing Kai won't tell him anything about what he's gone through to make him seek comfort like this but wanting to give it to him anyway because it's the least he can do for the one who always protected him.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH "I have to endure." "I have to continue." "So I can see them again." "I can't lose myself." pfp creds to Kindaasrikal :)
