Kai and Nya VS Kai and Lloyd VS Lloyd and Nya

i’ve lately been seeing a lot of people comparing the rgb siblings relationships from one another... so I’m here to give my thoughts. before we begin I just want to clarify that I do NOT believe one relationship is more significant than the other. kai loves nya and lloyd EQUALLY, lloyd loves kai and nya EQUALLY, and nya loves kai and lloyd EQUALLY. ok! point made! jolly! also just a quick read on the image: colors correspond to each ninja (green= lloyd, etc), and the arrows work like this: 

kai-----(kai’s relationship with image the arrow points towards)---> nya

Kai and Nya:

now, in their childhood, I believe kai played the parental role more than the older brother role (this still remains unchanged). nya simply played the roll of a little sister. HOWEVER. as nya got older, i believe her relationship with kai changed. instead of playing the little sister, she ALSO slowly accustomed herself  to a parental role with kai, and before doing so playing the role of an ‘older sister’. Im thinking until around the age of 12 she played little sister, maybe after 12 and until she became samurai x an ‘older sister’ and then after samurai x she accustomed  herself into a parental figure toward kai. Also, I do think as nya got older kai slowly eased himself out of ‘ parental’ and into ‘older brother’, but parental is and will ALWAYS be the default relationship with nya. Naturally, both are ‘parental’ in different ways: kai focuses much more on emotional support for nya, offering approval, comfort, nurturance, and love. nya focuses on self-affection, meaning supporting kai in terms of accepting himself, showing that she loves him (not directly, but through gifts/actions), etc. both ‘parent’ eachother in ways the other needs it

Kai and Lloyd;

this one is easy. kai was an obvious father figure/older brother figure to lloyd since day one, and we’ve seen him rotate between them both frequently. kai’s ‘parental’ style remains the same as it was with nya, he offers lloyd approval, comfort, nurturance, and love. and as an older brother, protects him and teases him (just like he does with nya). lloyd played the role of a younger brother, even considerably a son throughout the show. he looks up to kai as a role model, etc

Nya and Lloyd:

both are younger siblings. thats it. THATS ALL. because nya protects lloyd and loves him, lloyd loves nya and they spent lots of time (DEF DOING MISCHIEF.) when the others were out on missions (when lloyd was a kid and nya was not a ninja). they have a rlly mischievous bond, and definitely a lot of chaos when together

-----------------------------

first off, the BIGGEST similarity when it comes to how  kai treats nya and lloyd (two slightly different relationship) is: parental LOVE. kai openly loves them both and always SHOWS it.

now, the biggest ‘difference’ is kai. nya and lloyd both have a more ‘respectful’ relationship with kai. yes, if nya got the chance she would soak him in water and if lloyd got the chance he would pour flour on kai. yes, kai and lloyd are double trouble and kai and nya are partners in crime. which is why im not talking about chaos, bc all three relationships have equal heaps of it. im talking maybe that nya and lloyd wouldnt curse in front of kai as often, and maybe listen to kai more than they would listen to the other (for example, if kai said to do ‘x’ then nya and lloyd would probably do it, but if nya/lloyd told lloyd/nya to do ‘x’ then theyd be stupid and ‘fight’ abt it). idk. just thoughts.

SAY IT LOUDERRRRRR JAY HAD SO MUCH SCREENTIME NOT EVEN JUST IN SEABOUND BUT EVEN BEFOREEEE OMGG I JUST WANT RGB SIBLINGS GRIEF IM SO SICK OF THIS

after crystalized first aired there were so many people who were like “jay should’ve had more grieving screentime” like shut UPPPPP kai and lloyd should’ve had more then 1.5 minutes each and kai should’ve ripped the shit out of jay. kai deserves to kick his ass

SO FUCKING TRUE ANON YOU GET ME!!! Jay needs LESS screen time good god I don’t care anymore he got TWO seasons to himself LET KAI AND LLOYD GREIVE THEIR SISTER!!!!!

They have the same reaction and facial expressions when they realize that Lloyd is missing.

(У них одинаковая реакция и выражение лица, когда они понимают, что Ллойд пропал.)

Koko and Kai are very worried moms

(Коко и Кай - очень обеспокоенные мамы)

sibling angst is best angst

your honor, I indeed firmly believe that nya and lloyd are taller than kai

people ask me why I’m so distraught over ninjago ending and when you tell them it’s because your emotionally attached since it’s been there since your childhood and you’ve grown up with it and even though it does injustice to your favorite character it still has your favorite character and you sound like a crazy person when in reality you just can’t let go of something that brings you comfort so easily even though it’s just some stupid tv show

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

Every single day of my life I think about how Kai has so so SO much love in his heart. He loves people so genuinely and he wants them to know it. He hugs Nya SO MUCH and always encourages her. He supports Cole with words of affirmation and physical touch. He playfully teases Lloyd and ruffles his hair. He has so much love to give and doesn’t hide it even when he’s been through so much. It’s not in his nature to be angry and prickly, that’s a defense mechanism. It’s in his nature to be caring and loving.
