Hey long time Ninjago fans, when you talk about watching the early seasons do you ever feel like an old person sitting on their front porch about to tell the neighborhood kiddos about how "back in my day, Ninjago only had ONE version of Garmadon" ?
He's a danger to us all now :(
...... I come home. without a snake. and with three bites
I don't think they were bites of appreciation :( bye noodle noodle. leaving you in the woods. Going to treat this stuff now
Damn! This looks good! Thanks for drawing her by the way.
Lucky belongs to @general-yasur and hellspawn belongs @namelysane (btw I hope you don’t mind me giving your oc a general name ;-; it just felt empty without it!)
Under the cut is the version with no info or drawing #1:
Im so sorry if I got anything wrong about them (such as age or coloring and or powers.) I tried to find as many descriptions or drawings you all had of them but I did take a couple liberties in the end-
Either way, I just wanted to draw my oc with her inspirations as if they were siblings.
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
When Lloyd and hellspawn go out do they have to put on disguises? Do they also put on like contacts or something? Does hellspawn love dressing up or does she hate it?
Initially, Lloyd never really saw any need for that because he never once took her out with him after she was made...spawned?
Keep in mind this was after the Final Battle — a.k.a back when Lloyd had to show up to ceremonies all over Ninjago and was busy as heck. On the days when he was on break, he always spent them at Garmadon's monastery and never left because he was desperate for some peace and quiet while trying to take care of her. The furthest he even went with her was just outside the monastery.
And yeah, maybe also because the thought of wearing a disguise didn't cross his mind at the time. Sigh.
(Garmadon, teach your son how to shapeshift. i'm begging you.)
At Zane's funeral, they just passed her off as a distant cousin of Jay's from Edna's side of the family. And then the team split, leaving Lloyd to spend nearly all his time at the monastery during the first few weeks contemplating things to the point he really needed a distraction.
So the only one he was left with was Nya, who was basically like: Put on a hoodie and take her out to the park. The weather's good.
Lloyd: But you guys told kid me i looked terrible with my hood up.
Nya crosses her arms: That was Kai.
Lloyd, sniffs, looking away: Whatever. Still hurts a year later.
Nya, lets out a sigh: Lloyd—
Lloyd: Not happening. It'll make me look like a kidnapper.
Nya looks at him warily: What kind of movies have you been watching, again?
Lloyd pretends he didn't hear her: Or maybe I could grow a moustache.
Nya stares at him: I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.
Lloyd: But I'll look good—
Nya: I'm disowning you.
Lloyd: I was joking!
Nya: Just wear a hat. I'll even buy you one.
And so, Lloyd went with a fedora and green contacts to cover his red eyes & started taking her out more often — with Nya occasionally tagging along. It's mostly just walks in a stroller in which he just pretends to be his kid's older brother who's supposed to be watching her. Overall, it's fun. One day there were old ladies who came up to them commenting on how adorable the baby was, causing Lloyd to be like: there's no way i made this.
And fortunately, she was asleep at that moment, so her eyes didn't give Lloyd away.
When Nya isn't there with him—and it's also one of those days he blames himself for Zane's death, Lloyd finds himself spilling everything to hellspawn and then feeling really bad about it later. His only comfort is that he knows she won't remember this—he really hopes she doesn't.
After s4 and pre s5, Lloyd started getting sick of having to pretend to be his own kid's brother instead of her father so he decided to dress more maturely to look older, even putting on a fake moustache & goatee to complete the look and took her to other places to not be recognized. Kai could no longer see his baby brother anymore & was sad for a week.
But after s5...well that was where the real challenge began.
After the press found out the Green Ninja actually had a child, Lloyd was hysterical. They'd been so careful, so careful and now it was all gone. Great. She's gonna go through the same thing he does now all because she's stuck with him for a dad.
She's only two. Lloyd can't make her wear contacts every time they're out and Zane says that isn't advisable either. And considering he can't keep her isolated on the bounty for the rest of her life, he decided to get some wigs, hats and literally anything else to make her as unrecognizable as possible.
And she hates it.
Well the good thing is, her eyes look more brown from afar instead of red, so there's no need to worry about that. She really despises wigs though. Lloyd eventually decided to just dress her in toddler hoodies — which he made — or cover her face with a blanket after finding that out the hard way.
And before s8 and some time after Lloyd's eye color changed completely, she started taking an interest in green colored contacts just to match him because his eyes weren't red anymore.
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.
Istg, season 5 feels like the writers realized the fandom was getting sick of lloyd getting the majority of the screentime and decided to have morro take him out of the picture but also give him more trauma because that's definitely mandatory.
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.

Or; Lloyd accidentally creates a kid before s3 and ends up balancing both the life of a ninja and raises a mini him through the seasons.
that's child endangerment
