Will Little Hell Spawn Inherited Her Dads Power Or Will She Have A Different One?

Movie AU Shenanigans

Lloyd and Morro go ghost hunting which ends up on them running back to the monastery

Yes Morros first instinct is to carry Lloyd because he probably would freeze

Bonus:

It was Nyas Idea and they’re definitely showing everyone else

I headcannon he's physically 19 in SOG, and maybe 21-23 in Crystalized. In DR he just looks like a late twenties dork to me. His mental age is probably just 4-5 years younger though.

I'm sorry Dragons Rising Lloyd is NOT 18-19, maybe Crystalized Lloyd, but in Dragons Rising that is a young adult man he is like 23/24 years old he is NOT still a late teenager !!!

Headcannon Cliff Gordon had auburn hair like Jay but dyed his hair black to play Fritz Donnegan.

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.

Had a dream last night where the whole fandom got together to write a collective Ninjago fanfic and it was terrible. Like, one person would write 500 words, and pass it off to the next person, and the next, until it was an incomprehensible, disgusting, masterpiece of different ideas and headcanons and bad jokes. People were fighting to introduce their blorbos to the plot in 500 words. Writing styles suddenly changed in the middle of conversations. People would use their 500 words to kill off major characters only for someone else to bring them back in the most contrived way possible.

So my dad has this habit of sending me random quotes every morning in hopes something will go into my brain for once, and today's quote was this:

Got reminded of the last chapter I posted for So You Came Back To Me and now I'm wondering whether he's secretly reading my fics or is this just a coincidence

What usually do Hellspawn when his dad suffer the consequences of his adventures?

If he's injured or just are like, sad or then Morro with nightmares

She does something specific?

I love your au!

For nightmares or when he's sad, she has this thing where she snuggles up to him and pats his chin, saying absolutely nothing. And it kind of works. Lloyd's eyes widen for a while until he eventually relaxes. It really grounds him. It reminds him that he's here and not wherever his dreams convinced he was.

She did just that when he was moping around about Harumi and when she realized he wasn't feeling the greatest after banishing her grandpa in s4.

But with Morro, it usually doesn't help much. He has all these dreams about his possession causing him to hurt everyone he cares about so he'd like to keep himself as far away from his offspring as possible for the first hour since waking up from that. Healing takes a while.

When he's hurt and in forced bed rest, she usually ends up sitting by him and just staring because Aunt Pixal & Uncle Zane are like "it's not advisable to jostle anything at the moment." She eventually got the idea to make him a get well soon card and set to work.

One time, they ran out of paper so she decided to scribble a 'get better soon' on his face when he was sleeping. She meant well but yeah Pixal was not amused. When Lloyd woke up, he spent ten minutes wondering why the heck everyone else was cackling.

Glad you like the AU!

I’d honestly love it if throughout the new season, the entire “Crystal King” character is built up by everyone to be the most powerfully corrupt, dangerously despicable form of evil the ninja have yet to face, and there’s practically no chance of defeating him…

Only for Oni/Evil/Corrupted/Whatever new version of Lloyd to completely Oh-Koh him in one shot without breaking a sweat while he’s in the middle of his evil speech of something, and suddenly the rest of the team realize who the real final boss is.

What are Misako’s brothers like?

Oh man,,, I have actually personified Misako's older brother and her one younger brother and youngest sister only... but here's what they're like

Most of Misako's brothers have been, unfortunately, conditioned to be woman haters. It extends to the only girl in the family, since Montgomery keeps on having wives to 'protect' the family name. All of them, even Misako's younger siblings, had children before her, and while her own family line is severed, Lloyd has a bunch of cousins in the central part of Ninjago.

So, here they are

-

Itsuki (壱城)

Since Montgomery means king of the mountain, his means 'one castle'

Oldest of the entire Montgomery family, three years older than Misako.

He and Misako are the only fully biological siblings, since their mother died during his younger sister's birth

Itsuki never forgave her for this, because... he's being petty and he's copying his dad.

He's the one that looks and acts mature, but he's definitely not emotionally developed

He has a resting poker face, no matter how many times his dad tries to get him to smile in photos.

He actually respects Misako and her passion, but just like all the rest, cut her out of the family completely and never brought her up again.

He's the smartest of all the siblings, barring Misako (she's arguably a lot smarter than he is) and the scholar of the family. His siblings didn't like him for his so called haughty nature, but that's probably because he was

He didn't marry, because according to him, he didn't want girls to suffer the fate of being forced into marriage with him. He also has a hatred for children.

Maelstrom

Second son, younger than Misako for one year

The opposite of Itsuki; a lot more extroverted, less emotionally constipated, and very hands-on with his involvement.

Prefers Misako and her adventurous nature more to Itsuki's quieter and anti-social one. That is, until Montgomery started to teach him Women Bad

Is actually the most tolerant of the brothers, but he does the bare minimum so don't get your hopes up.

Had four children with one wife- after she died he refused to remarry and turned to drinking. It does more harm to his family than good.

He hates Misako after disgracing their family name and leaving her promised husband to another man. In drunken times, his kids could hear him swearing about her.

In times when he's sober, he actually does a good job managing the household and having rationally-inclined thoughts

Ayumi 彩美

Her name means vivid beauty, because I like to think Misako's kanji also had a beauty character in it.

The youngest of the Montgomery family, she was just a year old when Misako left them, which was like in her early twenties.

She's a little less 'smart' than Misako, but that's more like she lacks the spacial awareness around her surroundings. She's a very nice kid, though, and she's just a really kind and nurturing person.

So that the Misako controversy won't ever happen again, Montgomery and his third wife arranged Ayumi with her childhood friend, Haneul Ahn, immediately when they started taking a liking to each other. TAGOMJTR readers if ur reading this u already know what's happening

She and Haneul married at 16, and immediately had their firstborn girl at 17. She was pressured by her father and her own husband to have another Heir, and this is when her marriage with Haneul started to break

She's basically Misako except she hadn't escaped her situation

I'll probably draw them at some given time, especially Ayumi and Haneul.

One of my favorite things about the difference in the Lloyd and Garmadon fights in SoG and Hunted, is the music. Yes, they have a marked difference in tone just listening to them, but if you pay attention to the leitmotifs used, they also add to the story. (Leitmotif = a recurring musical phrase that represents a character or idea.)

“Garmadon’s True Potential” (which plays during the fight in True Potential) is primarily focused on Garmadon’s theme (the Sons of Garmadon theme is incorporated into Garmadon’s theme, showing their role in his revival) and the Garmadon family theme, with absolutely no usage of the Green Ninja theme. The one time the Ninjago theme is used is when it cuts to the other Ninja, it’s never used to symbolize a heroic moment by Lloyd. When Lloyd starts fighting in earnest, at the end, there’s no desperate-but-heroic rendition of the Green Ninja theme - it’s the SoG theme followed by the Garmadon family theme.

Being scored like this makes the fight basically entirely about Garmadon; Lloyd doesn’t get any victories, in the animation or musically. Lloyd goes into this fight with the intent to save his father, not fight him, so the music reflects that by emphasizing the Garmadon family theme. Garmadon’s theme is dissonant and evil sounding, while the Garmadon family theme is sad, bringing down the whole mood of the fight. Because there’s only one cutaway to the other Ninja, there’s also no reprieve; while the music does get quieter/less noisy in some moments, it’s six straight minutes of unsettling dissonance and tragic violins/vocals.

To contrast, “I Can Resist You” (which plays during the fight in Green Destiny) has all three themes, and more (for example, some interjections by the Resistance theme when it cuts to the other Ninja). It actually focuses less on Garmadon’s theme. This time, when Lloyd argues with his father, the Ninjago theme is played. When Lloyd grabs the Dragonbone Blade, we hear a modified Green Ninja theme. When he deflects a bolt of Destruction, Green Ninja theme.

Like the fight itself, this time the music feels like an actual fight instead of a one-sided beatdown, because Lloyd is musically represented by the Ninjago theme and Green Ninja theme. Garmadon’s theme and the family theme are still there, but the different instrumentation and harmonization lessen the impact on the mood. (Garmadon’s theme especially is played less and harmonized differently to make the overall music more melodic and thus feel less creepy.) Also, the music has “lighter” instruments like a flute, which the composers tend to associate with the heroes.

The unreleased portion of the soundtrack which plays after this track (starting when Lloyd gets the idea to use the Art of the Silent Fist) follows in a similar vein. During the parts where Lloyd is fighting Garmadon, the Resistance theme plays instead of Garmadon’s theme. When Lloyd gets his power back, the Green Ninja theme plays.

Musically, this shows the tide shifting as Lloyd starts winning. The Resistance theme is hopeful, really bringing up the mood. Garmadon’s theme only plays once more, at the very end when he’s lost his powers completely, and even then instead of being elaborated on in the usual continuation, a less dissonant variation is played which leads directly into the Green Ninja theme. It’s unified - there’s no interjection from Garmadon’s theme except at the end, signifying that the real fight is over.

tl;dr: In True Potential, the leitmotifs used are almost only Garmadon’s theme and the Garmadon family theme, which centers the scene on him and makes the fight one-sided musically. In Green Destiny, the Green Ninja, Ninjago, and Resistance themes give the fight more balance and focus on Lloyd’s victory. Also you should listen to the soundtrack because it’s good.

(Side note: Some people say that what I call the Garmadon family theme is simply Emperor Garmadon’s theme (and that he has two themes, I guess), but the Garmadon family theme only gets played in relation to, well, the Garmadon family. It’s just that a lot of the time, Lloyd ends up nearby when Emperor Garmadon gets screentime. Just listen to the musical cues for when he isn’t, though, and the 3-note theme gets played, not the family theme. [Unless he’s talking about Lloyd, which he does a lot.])
