Every Ninja Has Their Own Unique Telltale For Lying That No Person But The People Within The Ninja Can

if you had the chance to redo kai and jay's fight in seabound,how would you do it?

glad you asked, dearest anon.

firstly, I would keep the fighting. but i'd make it LONGER. kai and jay would fight, but they'd argue alongside it too. i need to kai to say "she's my sister jay," PUNCH "i loved her so fvking much too" KICK and then i need kai to shed some tears and then i like to think his power is kinda linked to his emotions so he's crying and the flames are getting bigger and bigger and kai's winning the fight and then yk more arguing and tears and angst because im insane and then:

i need water nya to address jay AND kai. the fact that she only addressed jay HURT ME IN WAYS I CANNOT EXPRESS.

misc ninja part II <3

part I here

1) leader cole for sure

2) Kai hasn’t lost this trait but I want more scenes of him being his adorable affectionate self

It’s well known that as the seasons went on, Jay lost the ‘inventor’ side of his personality, but do any of you think that there were other character traits that the ninja had that disappeared over time? Are there traits that disappeared that you wish had remained?

crying screaming sobbing on the floor because no one loves nya and lloyd the way kai does

he’s always looking at them with unconditional love

What if Crystalized ends like MotO but this time Lloyd goes with the FSM to another realm (under the impression his golden oni-dragon powers are too powerful or something) and the new series in 2023 just is the rest of the ninja training to fist fight God to get their lil bro back?

well my dearest anon how I wish and pray you will be correct. I love this idea so so so much. maybe garmadon ends up staying behind too, training the ninja alongside his own brother to get his son back. angst. fighting. goddd. there is so much leftover potential for ninjago but the writers keep messing up certain things (ex plot holes, nonexistent kai development arcs) and it just makes me wish the fandom could seize the writers and just become them ourselves

[Cole, Ray, and Kai hanging out in the kitchen]

Kai: oh hold up let me get you a plate

(Climbs on the counter like a five year old)

Cole: Kai?

Kai frustrated because he still can’t reach: what?

Cole: you want some help?

Kai: shut up cole I can do it myself dickhead

Ray: Haha wow kid I didn’t think you’d come out this short. Wonder we’re you got that from? Your mom and I are pretty tall.

Kai: Well yeah that’s what malnutrition will do to you

-heavy silence-

-Rays face of horror and realization-

Cole barely holding back laughter: kai what did you just say?

Kai: Malnourishment is a bitch.

Kai getting off the counter: haha! Finally! Stupid plate-

Turns around to see Ray face and Cole laughing his ass off

Kai: uh? Did I miss something?

every birthday until kai was however years old and became a big brother he had the same birthday wish and that was having a sibling and when maya was pregnant with nya I will bet you my soul that kai was the happiest kid you’d ever meet and that’s why he was so excited when nya was born and held her like she was his everything and you can’t change my mind

Why Kai's not allowed to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters

Kai: These are for you [gives a few mini candy bars to a kid dressed as Cole]

Kai: Here ya go, kiddo [gives a bag of cookies to a kid dressed as Zane]

Kai: For you two [hands two full size candy bars to two little girls dressed as Samurai X]

Kai: Here you go, take these little guy [gives six mini bags of Skittles and a full size candy bar to a kid dressed as Lloyd]

Kai: Here kid. This is from my friend Zane [gives an apple to a kid dressed as Jay]

Kai: And for this awesome little dude... Bam! [Gives a whole unopened bag of candy to a kid dressed in a Fire Ninja costume]

Nya: KAI! STOP DOING THAT!

I know a lot of people are saying that Kai and Nya had a babysitter and whatever, but guess what.. who cares? Allow me to explain:

A Babysitter is someone who comes for a short amount of time to take care of kids. A babysitter needs money. This ‘babysitter’ definitely had her own family and I don’t think a random stranger or even if the babysitter was a good neighbor would raise someone else’s kids and provide for them and support them and love them for free. She most likely came in only to feed them, and left. Or left the minute Kai turned ten. Maybe she gave up when no more money was coming her way, and she only came to feed them for a year and that’s it. We don’t even have enough information to conclude any of this, especially not if she was a good, loving babysitter, which she was likely not. Because if she was, Kai and Nya would be mentally healthier.

When kids are growing, they look up to their parents, because they are emotionally connected with them. Kids mimic emotions from their parents, and look up at them for validation of their own. Nya was really young when Maya and Ray were captured. Kai was very young too, but old enough to know what love is because he most likely remembered his parents loving him. Now on the other hand Nya probably had little to no memory recall of her parents at all, much less the idea of what ‘love’ is.

When Maya and Ray were captured Kai was the only person left who Nya was emotionally connected with. Kai was the only person who could fill the role of being a loving person in her life, someone she could relay on and trust with vulnerability. I don’t think some children would just suddenly trust a random adult in their life, especially not Kai (remember how hesitant and suspicious he was when he first saw Wu). 

If this babysitter was that awesome, dependable, or trustworthy, Kai would not have trust issues, Nya would not need to feel independent, etc etc. Again, Both siblings would have a little more healthier mindsets.

Kai, as a child, loved Nya since the beginning. When Maya and Ray disappeared, he did raise her. You could interpret this sentence in many ways- raised her by love, raised her emotionally, raised her by providing for them both, raised her by protecting her. I strongly believe in every one of these and more, but this furthers on to my point: babysitter or no babysitter, at the end of the day, Kai did raise Nya. And I think for a small child who was just as lost and scared, he did his very best.

A child forms their idea of love normally by looking at their parents relationship, and by observing how parents treat them. Kai had a slight foundation in this already, since he loved Nya since the beginning. Nya however, as I mentioned before, likely had little to no memories of her parents. So, everything Nya learned about love, how to love, etc was from Kai. And with this, Nya had understood and developed her own love languages, and proceeded to use what she learned from Kai and reciprocate it. This was undoubtedly Kai’s biggest mental support during his childhood. And with what she learned from Kai, she started to also love Jay.
