Decades Doever
A little idea I had laying in my bed. The basic thought process was: Ninjago's two characters who have literally been sent to a realm to rot in for literal DECADES. Morro, who's already struggling with his own exile from the departed realms finds a manipulated Zane and manipulator Vex. I mean both of them can't grow too old, and Morro probably would want a redemption for his deeds, the white ninja may be his path to doing it. Zane is interested in the departed realm, hearing that Morro is from it (even if it's not in the most pretty ways), it intrigues him to learn more about the former ghost, and how he may see his father one day. More Info underneath the cut!
Morro's literal backstory Once an elemental master dies they can not only see their family in the departed realm, but if they are not blood related nor can remember their family (cough cough, Zane), they can also meet the departed elemental masters that came before them. The little groupings of elemental masters hold great power, having the ability to traverse the 16 realms but regarded as something different than a ghost, more similar to a peaceful spirit or aura passing by. Unable to be seen by the living, sometimes depending on their mental will having the ability to converse in dreams and visions. When Morro finally get's sent to the Departed realm, as an orphan and being 50+ years old he cannot simply remember his family, so he get's sent and transported to the elemental grouping of Wind Masters. They don't like him. And so after a rather horrid argument the elders, the first elemental master of wind (FMOF), decides to send them down to never-realm, being previously used as a waste deposal of other Elemental Master's (more than just wind) that have gone "rogue" in the Departed Realm. The FMOF graced some mercy to Morro, convening with one of the form masters in order to see that they could return him in some sort of ghostly form, if they sent them down there as is, it would result him becoming living once more. Morro being the wonderous human (ish) being he is stumbles across this conversation, eaves dropping and taking notes. So when the final ritual(?) takes place he lashes out and does his best to ruin the spell, the only thing being that: 1. It works 2. He's not alive, and instead, has been merged with the storm. There he goes barreling down into the artic wasteland that provides an abundance of wind and storms to command, but despite the feast-like appearance of power and his element, Morro knows and regards this as a banishment. Dude got banished from death itself.
How Zane is connected in any of this Being also wonderfully banished and sent to the Never-Realm (via: Aspheera, Nacho Snake lady) he is also lost on his way. The only canon divergence or well difference being, when he's holding a staff he can feel another, stronger, rivaling, presence. Zane tries his best to fix the mech and eventually get's memory wiped by Vex. Back to the main plot line Morro additionally the counteracting sensation of another elemental power, and although it's not as strong as he isn't a master of Spinjitzu, he still senses it and decides to drift off on a storm cloud in that direction. Reaching the cave just when Zane plugs himself into the mech, disregarding the staff in general (in this AU I don't think young Wu would've told him about it), being confused in the slightest before getting a rush of Lloyd's memories he intercepted during possession of the titanium ninja, and dashing away behind the mech when he hears Vex's footsteps. Watching the whole exchange happen before his eyes, he decides to step in at the last moment, using his cool (very new) lightning powers. Being a somewhat super battle with the staff that he's honestly wonders how the ninja got a hold of, and his amplified form. During the exchange he does lay hands upon the staff and his powers go A-wire, somewhat breaks space and time, smacks Zane in the noggin to regain select memories. Vex fleeing the scene and barely recovering Zane prying Morro; who's form and right hand is practically melding into the staff, away from the supercharged stick. Although both mutually dislike each other they suppose they are both in the predicament of needing company for the days, weeks, and unbeknown to them, years to come. Morro not knowing how robotics or in general any mechanics in Zane works, opts for the: I'll just sit here and regret my decision as my partial robot friend has a reoccuring flashbacks for several decades while having an ongoing existential crisis I am little help to. Zane does believe Morro holds some interesting tales and description on, why and specifically how both are here. Morro just thinking it's something he can do to make up for acts, probably go see Lloyd (despite him probably bolting as soon as he see's the green gi), and maybe just maybe get somehow reaccepted back into the departed realms.
Morro's fishy transformation
FSM: We need to find a way for Morro to be redeemed, my son when he was young made mistakes, though his Morro has paid the most for them. Cloud Kingdom: Well you see, we have tried multiple times... He was given another chance as a ghost you see. FSM: That was a singular time and under the grasp of the preeminent and destiny was warped to fit her pleasing. Cloud Kingdom: Fine we shall try the process once more, he is in wonderful hands.
... Cloud Kingdom: turns Morro into a fish.
Morro was a failure, everyone knew that, since the day he was born. His no where to be seen parents saw that, Wu saw that and destiny did too. He had tried and tried again to be something, something that mattered, something that would prove to the three to keep him around. Of course destiny had to constantly screw him over and throw him under the bus.
So the day that his second life has ended his third life began.
This time, this life, he embraced what destiny had out for him. Which was not much, mostly rot and spackle in the water depths of stixx, hear the screams of the cursed, and be crushed by the deathly grip of what remained of his late mistress. A hell hole customized just for him, how lucky.
It was a constant state of torture, the constant pain being branded into his mind as something that would always be there. A fact that living could not be without it. Time passed and nothing would ever change, repetitive cycle that had a beginning but no end. He certainly didn't get used to it, no matter how long it would last he couldn't (getting sucked out for the day of the departed and being trapped in a wax statue of himself didn't help either). Though it became a sense of home for the specter, a shelter from the barrages of thoughts that swirled in his mind. He didn't want to think about his previous lives, and with this treatment he was given, he didn't have to.
Pain reeked with a stench that stained ones mind, worming it's way inside like a weed. Weeds blocked the grain from growing, overwhelming the field and giving the famer an unfruitful harvest. The grain if you couldn't tell was his thoughts, his thoughts. These were of the purest, not warped by the Preeminent, nor tainted with Wu's guidance. And Morro feared them for that very reason.
Confrontation of any sorts never set well with Morro, he was skilled in fighting, not in whatever sort of communication which was this. When he was confronted by Wu he had been given a home and let himself drive himself to something he was not destined to be. When he was confronted by the golden weapons and destiny itself, he left what mattered the most and drove himself to death. The tiny confrontation with Wu, when his sensei offered him practically another life? Nope. He chose to let himself rot in here, for here he could be ridden of this belligerent, annoying, feature of life which was, confrontation.
He wasn't let off the hook that easily. He should've known. He was destiny's personal punching bag after all, he had spited, broke and disobeyed it. So when the glowing figure of the FSM master materialized of nowhere, he should've been prepared.
The pair's conversation was short, mostly due to Morro's stubbornness of staying in this little mindscape he cowered and hid in. Maybe he should've been less antagonistic, maybe the old man should've drank some weird tea to open his eyes and see that Morro was in no state to be given another life. The ex-ghost had clearly tried to convey the message in his tone, curt and annoyed. Though nothing ever had gone Morro's way before, this was not going to be the start.
The next thing that happened he didn't even notice until destiny nudged another in his way... That person was Benthomaar.
WAOW
he looks even prettier with the colors
WIIIIIIP
He looks pretty, doesn't he? he looks nice when he's not angry or worried or sad and stuff. well, he looks nice when he's like that too, but it's good that he's not like that all the time anymore. I always traumatise the shit out of him, but he always ends in happiness
the halo is a placeholder for a cooler effect, trust outfit is mostly what he was wearing pre-capture those ink cuffs represent magic sealwork that can effectively replace actual metal cuffs (only for the most part lol)
Oh I had sooo much fun on this guy's face. The expression is equal parts Disgust and Snarl btw, I think it works 🖤 I made custom greens for his hair bc nothing was quite right. And lots of brass and coppers for makeup and accents! also- there's claws now!!! and you can color them individually! heroforge has come so far i love it so much!
And here he is! My baby boy! mwah mwah His hair is black at the ends bc he dyed it a while back (inspired by a ninblr post that has escaped back to the nether for now) The mask is used when he's trying to disguise himself (either because he's super mixed and that's super dangerous in areas, or because he's the Warlord Garmadon's only child). also featured is more nail options and a sleeve tat! still deciding on what exactly but this one seems likely.
the way i choked—
Well I mean. If we want to look at Morro’s situation in a more positive light, at least he’s finally putting that skill of pushing people away from him to good use.
i keep having to retype :(
anyway ive been calling it monsters au generally because! almost no one is human!
it starts with kai (angel-type) being separated from his chorus/slaughter and captured to be brought to market as a rare specimen.
morro is a harpy who's been hunting crime in oni country lately and destroys the market kai's being held at (among other flammable things)
lloyd is a baby hybrid (himself a child of two hybrids) who snuck into the market while looking for a friend and gets caught up in kai's situation

Do you remember that shot from Season 5 that sparked the theory that Wu tricked Morro?
Вы помните тот кадр из 5 сезона, который породил теорию, что Ву обманул Морро?
And the thought came to me what if there could be more than one green ninja
И мне пришла мысль, что если зелёных ниндзя может быть больше, чем один
Yeah, that's another old drawing
– So you didn't even check if I'm the green ninja!?
– Morro, I can explain-
– We must to check it now
– But we have found out a long time ago that Lloyd is the green ninja
– I SAID CHECK IT!

God that hurts
alright ninjago fandom, which of these we most mad abt today??
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.
If hypotheticly the hellspawn au would take the morro gets resurrected because reason this and that what would be his relationship with our beloved hellspawn? What would lloyd think?
Hmmm...I'd say Lloyd would be quite wary of his undead cousin — well, the guy did try to kill them all, after all (can you blame him?), and this would also mean Lloyd would be hesitant to let the resurrected emo interact with his —niece...I guess? This is assuming the resurrection happens before DOTD and happens just after season 5, so Morro hasn't given a full apology yet. Also, Morro did kinda threaten hellspawn in Lloyd's mind when he was possessing him, so...yeah. Green bean still has trust issues.
But over time, Lloyd starts to realize how wrong he is about his cousin. Other than that, when Lloyd isn't looking, hellspawn likes to toddle to the newest addition to their somewhat family, some weird guy that looks like he feels more out of place than that children's book Lloyd usually keeps with his comics. I like to think that Morro's wind abilities would amuse her and Morro would fly a kite using his wind in front of her just to make her smile. Sometimes, his wind even brushes against her hair like a hair ruffle, which makes her giggle.
Wu notices that he made a new friend immediately and can't hold back a smile when he comments on it to him. Morro turns red, but doesn't deny it. Instead, he merely scoffs that Wu is just seeing things in his old age. The top of Wu's staff collides with his head as a result.
I think Morro would like racing
