Every Birthday Until Kai Was However Years Old And Became A Big Brother He Had The Same Birthday Wish

Yes yes yes i know big great crystalized just dropped and everyone’s worked up about it but look at this

WHY DIDN’T FIRE CHAPTER GO LIKE THIS

THIS LOOKS SO COOL

Like imagine the ninja somehow losing Kai in the pyramid and thinking he’s dead

But him getting lucky and surviving, waking up, seeing all this chaos and kinda just assuming that the others are dead

And the main fire chapter plot being about Kai going on this solo adventure, living in his car, fighting Pyro Vipers all over Ninjago, mourning his friends’ “deaths” and being realllly depressed, kinda like Lloyd in S9

While the ninja are fighting Aspheera in Ninjago City and mourning Kai

There are a lot of details to figure out, but come on, this would’ve worked

I think that probably the most realistic scene in Crystalized is the fight between Jay and Kai.

They're both stressed out. They're both grieving. They're both trying to cope, just in a different way, and sometimes, grief can get the best of us.

But I'm actually surprised that Kai hadn't snapped sooner. Because Nya, the reason he joined the ninja in the first place, Nya, his sister who he basically raised, his family – is dead.

And Jay has the audacity to act as if no one else cared that she was gone. As if he was the only one affected.

Kai is trying to hold it together. He's trying to move on, because he knows he can't change what Nya has done. And he knows that Jay is grieving too and he does his best to not blame him.

Yes, he accidentally knocked the glass of water, but he instantly apologized for that, knowing what it means to Jay.

In other words, I'm on Kai's side on this one. I think that he had every right to point out Jay's bullshit. He should have done it sooner.

I think the reason why I love Kai and Nyas dynamic so much is because of three reasons

1) I’m a sucker for any sibling dynamic

2) the entire fact that their childhood consisted of only each other + they know each other so well; probably better than they know themselves and I could go on and on and on about how 10000 different reasons why Kai and nya ( +Lloyd!) have the best dynamic in the entire show and that’s why this same show GATEKEEPS THEIR MOMENTS LIKE BRO. GIVE US KAI AND NYA HUGS/MOMENTS/THINGS/TALKS/EVERYTHING IN S16 TO MAKE UP FOR SEABOUND.

3) their elements

I believe that out of all the elements in Ninjago ( or in any other show, or LITERALLY just nature itself ) fire and water are the most unique because of one reason: they are the elements that are embedded with the convergence of opposites. creation, and destruction. life, and death. light, and darkness. for example:

Water provides shelter for sea creatures. Water keeps us hydrated, nourished. Water can provide us with energy (dams). Yet, water causes floods and tsunamis. Water can cause you to drown. Water takes lives.

Without the sun we would die. The sun helps plants grow and protects us from the cold and is the source of all our food. Fire burns down forests and destroys homes. Fire inflicts pain and burns on human beings. Fire turns anything in its way to ashes. Fire takes lives.

See? good and bad, bad and good. And the fact that both their elements hold these concepts is such an amazing thing to me because that just seals the wholesomeness of their dynamic even more.

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

impossibly stubborn, jumps straight to the most extreme course of action imaginable, presumes his sheer will can see him through, despite near-impossible goals that require nothing but the very peak of his abilities, yet is extraordinarily determined and ultimately refuses to give up, and is someone that would be voluntarily be your loving older brother

yes that sounds like kai

really hope ninjago united series is gonna be with our ninja

it cant be over...

gosh my anxiety is KILLING me

So in Season 4 when Chen uses the staff, it doesn’t seem to effect him. No glowing eyes, no change in behavior or personality, nothing. He remains exactly the the same no matter how many more elements he hordes in it.

Yet almost as soon as Kai touched it, he falls under some type of corruption — red eyes and all — and the hidden envy he’s been harboring is brought to the surface, causing an inner fight control to ensue, which Kai loses. His flaws are then amplified to such an extreme that Kai is no longer even the same person, and may as well just be another Chen.

My point is, the Staff had no effect on Chen because he was already that vile and power hungry. It literally couldn’t make him more twisted than he already was.

So I think it speaks huge volume on how good of a person Kai actually is by this point for the Staff’s power to warp his personality and flaws so far into such an unrecognizable state.

If you're still doing requests, then how about something with Lloyd discovering his candy-consumption threshold?

Or maybe one of him after eating too much in general?

gathered some sweets from around the bounty (mostly from jay and cole) and chowed down before anyone could find him.

Imagine little Kai walking around the village with little Nya. They find some pretty lil flowers and Kai helps do up Nya's hair so he can put the flowers in her hair, she takes one from her hair and puts it into Kai's hair...

is anyone else like super scared and excited for part two of crystallized like I wanna watch it the moment it comes out but at the same time I never wanna watch it but I’m excited about Lloyd and garmadon and the oni but

I’m terrified that someone might die or that lloyd might get even more traumatized (the poor kid) or that we won’t get the kai and nya scenes we have been begging and pleading for or the development arcs

like tommy anderson has done so good and so horribly bad at the same time

man idk how to feel about this.
