Wu: You’re Violent.

very dearly beloved yet incredibly detested ninjago writers, since you cannot do it yourself, allow me to give you some guidance. introducing: a guide to writing kai

1: childhood. coping mechanisms, emotions, relationships, and so many other countless things are originated from our childhood experiences. show us how kai took charge, how he reacted when his parents left. did he break down crying, suck it up and get himself together for nyas sake? did his fear of being useless and his habit of undervaluing himself originate from the fact his parents had left him? I want to see kai move on as a child and yet stumble and fall at the same time. i wanna see the unresolved trauma please because we all know our boy has lots of that

2: green ninja. what’s wrong writers?? are you afraid to tell us his true motives for him wanting to be the green ninja? it’s because his constant fear of being worthless leaded to his wanting to be the green ninja? was he scared he couldn’t be able to protect those he loved? did he want to be green ninja out of fear of being undervalued and left behind by the team, like his parents left him behind? so many question so little answers

3: bravery through love. kai canonically represents bravery, but the ninjago short only presented this bravery through physical action. kai is one of the bravest in another act as well: love. kai’s continuation of love and care toward the team and kids in general has been shown time and time again in the show. physically affectionate, supportive, understanding, and caring to each ninja individually is literally kai’s thing. he readily loved his parents even though they ‘abandoned them’ long ago, when nya was not brave enough to (valid, btw). he is very vocal on how much he loves people, especially nya and lloyd. he loves kids and animals alike (making friends with dragons, naturally affectionate with kids). he wholeheartedly loves people despite the fear of not being loved back, and despite his childhood trauma, and i think thats the best and most beautiful kind of bravery. and i think if the show points this quality out for those who cannot see it, it would contribute so much to his character. kai is such a loving person he loves everyone i think i might cry

lloyd is the epitome of that one quote

“he didn’t need to be stronger, he needed to be safe,”

literally all the ninja are

just slap them on a poster with that quote and boom therapists come rushing

I'm still continuing on this.

Do you think kai would playfully embarrass Lloyd when they’re on the news?

Yes but in the “look at my lil bro LOOK AT HIM” kind of way I think

Idk about you guys but in my opinion, as much as i love lloyd, we should give Kai and Nya an entire season so we can see how they really grew up without ray and maya and see them confront their childhood trauma and insecurities

And in the process come out bigger and better and with much more of a bigger bond than before and we can finally see more found family with them and in the upcoming seasons they always have eachothers back whether the other know it or not

Idk just my opinion

Add Lloyd as their lil bro ( cause he is 🥹 )

Yeah this makes me feel existential dread, drop it

what if lloyds favorite animal is a llama because of the double L’s

like yk how movie garmadon said la lloyd instead of lloyd? what if he also calls llama’s : La llamas
