uh oh. is this gonna be me when I finally let my ideas spill out of me?
I see this a lot with writers on ao3 actually, at some point they're like "woops I went a completely different way than originally intended"....."oh well!"
I’ll make a plan for my fic, I said. I’ll stick to it loosely, I said.
PFFFT YEAH RIGHT- no way José, you can’t stop me from almost completely diverting from it lol
I just found this and now I'm going into my microwave
I guess I’m calling this the Lightningbot AU now???
Basics:
- Ed and Edna wanted a child, and having access to all the scrap in the junkyard, made one of their own! They never told him what he was, because they didn’t want him to feel different.
- Jay booted up for the first time without a power source being added at all. His element powers him on its own. This baffled his parents at first, but they just went with it.
- Contact with vengestone causes Jay to shut down if he touches it, which the ninja chalk up to him passing out. The second vengestone is no longer in contact with his body, he reboots. Before he knows he’s a robot, he refers to this as a “freak vengestone allergy”.
- Jay finds out that he’s an android during Hunted, where a rough landing from the portal severely damages his body. The group struggles to repair him with their limited resources. A scrap of foil isn’t gonna fix your face, sorry Jay.
- Over the course of Hunted, he acts largely the same as he does in the original, and treats his robot body’s reveal as something funny and insists everyone just “go with the flow” and not worry about it. Meanwhile the others are OBVIOUSLY concerned, and wonder if the crash is making him malfunction. At some point he snaps out of it and it hits him all at once and he freaks out for real.
- Pixal knew the whole time, literally since S3, and never mentioned it because she assumed they all knew already. Queue Jay having flashbacks to all the little hints she dropped in previous seasons (ie: implying he may need “repairs” or a “tune-up” after a fight, which Jay would shrug off as her simply wording her concern awkwardly).
- When they make it back home, they cannot figure out how to recreate the artificial flesh on his body, and he goes home to the junkyard for repairs and confronts Ed and Edna.
- The “junkyard boy” insult hits him much harder after he finds out, and is extremely self-conscious about the fact he was literally built out of trash.
- He returns to the lighthouse out of guilt and brings Echo back home with him. They bond over being made out of actual garbage.
- His head is a plasma globe filled with a mess of electrical impulses that make up his brain. When people touch it, it acts like a plasma globe, and makes Jay feel odd things (tickling sensations, lavender smell, the taste of kale).
- Once he’s aware he’s an android, he can learn to “possess” other electronics with his element/soul. His mastery over electricity gives him an instinctual understanding of electronics and how they function, which has unknowingly contributed to his love of inventing.
- Much to everyone’s dismay, being a robot opens up a whole new world of puns and terrible jokes for Jay to abuse.
happy january :)
bonus content; the aftermath
I agree, he needs to be at LEAST 75% more annoying
Does anyone else fw the idea of Kai just being incredibly embarrassing for Nya, Lloyd, and Wyldfyre.
Like Lloyd completes one (1) simple task like finishing laundry and Kai’s yelling “YOURE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!” to Lloyd’s dismay
or Nya comes back from a successful mission and he’s bragging like “GUESS WHAT MY LITTLE SISTER JUST DID????” As she’s just wanting to unwind and rest.
Or Wyldfyre gets a move or stance down that he was teaching her and he insists on taking a photo of her. He puts it on the fridge and shows it to everyone, like “LOOK AT MY STUDENT GO!!”
I think we as a fandom should make him more annoying.
why buy a yarn holder when you've got one already?
I'm actually gonna cry
I've just seen major character death tag in sparks.

Holy shit Red Son true form is taaaaaalllll (MK our short King baby boy you better climb your man)
And yeah, they are in a cell in heaven, and MK freedom is on the line, and this is the most crazy and out of the place time and place for this. But it's THEM. Of COURSE they would have their first kiss in the most crazy of the situations.
I don't know if I have the words for how much stupid silly "12-years-old-girl-screaming-energy" happiness gived me this chapter. I had 2 weeks of 11 hours of work every single day, I lost countless hours of sleep and hadn't seen the sun in days, but man everyday after 7pm, knowing that i got to draw this part was what at the end of the day gave me back almost all the energy and motivatiom.
They are so stupid and in love your honor, I love them so much.
