Names

Lloyd asks his parents what his name would be if he were a girl. Or if he had a brother and a sister. What followed was something he did not expect at all.

Request from ao3!

"Mom, Dad?" Lloyd was trying to find his parents as he entered the monastery.

"Lloyd?" Sensei Garmadon called him from the hallway." You’re already here?"

"Yes, Sensei Wu let us go a bit early." Lloyd smiled. "Where’s Mom?"

"I don't know, let's go find her."Sensei Garmadon waved.

~~~~~

"What was it, Lloyd?" Misako asked as they sat on the couch.

"Mom, Dad." Lloyd officially stated, though he barely managed to hold back a smile. "I would like to ask you something."

"Go ahead." Sensei Garmadon also smiled a little.

He wouldn’t have laughed if he had known what was coming.

"What would my name be if I were a girl or if I had another brother and sister? What would they be called?"

Misako and Sensei Garmadon exchanged bewildered glances.

"If you were a girl..." Sensei Garmadon chuckled.

"No, no, no!" Misako interrupted him. "I never agreed to that!"

"To what?" Lloyd asked curiously.

"Well, if I had a daughter, I would name her Vulgaria¹."

Lloyd brought his hand to his mouth and started laughing. Misako was left speechless.

"Too good." Lloyd said as he and Sensei Garmadon doubled over with laughter.

"Would it be too good for you to be named that?" Misako asked Lloyd.

Lloyd paused for a second and thought.

"Not really..." he said, scratching the back of his ear.

"Oh come on..." Sensei Garmadon sighed. "You guys just have no taste."

"Vulgaria, Vulgaria?!" Misako shot a stern glance at Garmadon. "It sounds like you're mocking a child."

"Alright, alright, calm down." Lloyd tried to placate his parents. "Mom, how would you name a daughter? What names do you find beautiful?"

"Uff, your names are even worse." Sensei Garmadon emphasized.

"I can differentiate between names I like and names I would call my child." Misako said.

"You see." Sensei Garmadon looked at Lloyd then back at Misako. "That's why she chooses only the most ordinary names. Because of her childhood issues..."

"What issues?" Lloyd asked curiously, looking at Misako.

"When I was very little, I played with children who had the most ordinary names. Like John and so on. And they always laughed at me because I 'supposedly' had a 'weird' name. At least to them." Misako sighed.

"Wow." Lloyd said in realization.

"That's why you were sentenced to a boring name." Sensei Garmadon added. "You should see all the ideas I had."

"Garmadon, you can't name a child dragon." Misako said sharply.

"Hey, I had other ideas too." Sensei Garmadon complained.

"But how did you come up with Lloyd?" Lloyd was confused by his parents.

"Simple." Misako stopped looking at Garmadon and turned to Lloyd. "I wanted Luke."

"I didn't want anything so, let's call it ordinary." Sensei Garmadon pointed out.

"Now I know why Mom chooses 'ordinary' names. What do you have against them?"

"Yeah, it's enough that children last name would be Garmadon." Misako pointed out.

"Montgomery Garmadon." Sensei Garmadon corrected her.

"That's right." Misako nodded.

"I’m Garmadon, my brother is Wu." Sensei Garmadon emphasized. "I want to honorably continue the lineage."

"How then Lloyd?" Lloyd looked bewilderingly at his parents.

"I realized that your mother would not budge, so I took that into consideration." Sensei Garmadon carefully glanced at Misako. "It’s similar to Luke and..."

"Come on, Garm, I understand why you chose that." Misako smiled. "I figured it out from the start. But I was pretending I didn’t know."

Lloyd watch his parents intensely.

"Because Lloyd Garmadon is similar to Lord Garmadon." Sensei Garmadon said and burst into laughter.

"Of course!" Lloyd exclaimed, putting his hands on his head. "Ha ha."

"Don’t tell me you don’t think that’s too good." Sensei Garmadon looked at Misako.

"A little." Misako chuckled.

"But you can't name a child like that." Sensei Garmadon teasingly provoked her, wrapping his arms around her neck.

"Anything is better than your other suggestions." Misako smiled.

"Then I won’t ask you for names anymore." Lloyd glanced at his parents.

"No, better not." Misako replied after exchanging looks with Sensei Garmadon.

"Well, I think I came out pretty well." Lloyd said and hugged his parents.

"You did." Misako laughed and kissed him on the forehead.

"Just keep teasing." Sensei Garmadon mockingly exhaled. "You have no idea what good names you've overlooked..."

"Dad, we agreed no more about names." Lloyd looked at him. "I don’t want to pit you and mom against each other."

"Alright, son." Sensei Garmadon looked at the two of them.

He didn’t want to waste time on an argument. They had already lost enough time.

"What would you name your children?" Misako asked teasingly.

"I'm not thinking about that, Mom!" Lloyd said sheepishly while his parents laughed.

¹That's Mark Oliver's idea that he said on his lifestream.

Crying, screaming, throwing up

Shaking, sobbing, pulling my hair

Scratching at the walls, foaming at the mouth

All over Vashwood, these men have me POSSESSED

Parenting tip: if your kid seems absolutely miserable around you, yet you know they are not so around others, it might be time to look inward rather than blame them

The Trans/Bi Saw Trap of Meeting The Parents

> I bring home a seemingly cis guy. I'm Cured. I'm finally "on the right path". Don't you see? All it took was a Nice Young Man to Fix you. The Perfect Man. I told you he was out there and I was right. See? He loves you, Despite... [broadly gestering to all of me]. Just like we do! 😇 I'm just so happy it all worked out. That somehow, by the Divine Right of our Holy Penis and Vagina Sex (ONLY. AFTER HOLY MATRIMONY. MIND YOU. Even though I had both you and your brother out of wedlock, as I always say, do as I say not as I do hehe 😇) You are free from Sin. In all of your atrocities and affronts to God. I'm just so happy for you, so proud of you 😌

> I bring home a seemingly cis woman. I am deemed to be in a Lesbian 😰😰😰 "Relationship". 😒😒 Okaaayyyyyyy. Well. I would love to meet her 😊🤗 We'd even love to have her stay with us! Just NO SEX. APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR. NO overly sexual kissing. You can hold hands. The same rules apply to your brother and Heterosexual Jessica, of course. What do you mean I'm not this overtly weird about it with them? Are you mad at me. Do you hate me. Do you Hate your Mother 🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

(ps this is Me talking now. OP. You may even know him as Milo. I love you lesbians. However, I, myself, am not a lesbian -- on account of My Gender Identity and what it means to me.)

And dear god. Dear fucking god. If I bring home anyone who is visibly trans or exists Outside of the binary. It's so over. Endless fucking Hell World. I'm So Sorry. Never should have come here

Sometimes I remember sense8 made a white police main character and have him help a black kid who was shot and his partner (who was racially ambitious) were against it. And then he brought kid to hospital and a black nurse said she can't help him in a rude way because idk kid was injured in gang fight and she doesn't care. And white police somehow helped kid to take help and then kid helped him to do police shit against some black group.

Then white trans girl got insulted by a terf who is also black. And her girlfriend who is also black was nothing but her extremely supportive girlfriend no other personality.

Or characters having some shared visions and see some slurs again their own community written on the wall and police characters slur was pig. And German one was nazi. While gay one was faggot and Kenyan one was n-word.

Or one Indian main character having her main storyline her being in love with German guy instead of her fiancé and it was also very tasteless to me.

Or Korean one is good at martial arts and her brother and father is evil and stole her carrier and brother made her go to jail and it's so misogynistic there in Korea.

Like American characters get very detailed and many faced storylines while poc ones get the most basic Stories based on stereotypes and 2d written side characters. .

Anyways and then I became angry out of no reason. It can be such a good show except it wasn't. It was weirdly full of copaganda and racism. And like I see no race style writing.

And then it weirdly became fantasy racism story like X-Men.

I started Starbrew Cafe like maybe a week and a bit ago and already… the bullshit Starla has to go through…

So many people around her are keeping VITAL INFORMATION TO THEMSELVES FOR LITTLE TO NO REASON and Starla has no choice but to TAKE IT AND COPE. Everyone around her keeps dumping their problems on her and treating her as a magical therapist and apparently that’s her responsibility because this cafe is literally INTEGRAL to upholding an ENTIRE TOWN.

Starla did NOT sign up for this oh my god. The only good eggs around her are her empath friend and Otis who are ACTUALLY HELPING HER OUT. Fuck the werewolf for being too pussy to deal with his own hang ups and manipulating her when she’s busy trying not to close down. Fuck the inspector for venting on her when she knows she just got here and has little to nothing to do with her beef. Fuck her aunt for withholding cafe secrets and fucking off; I don’t care if you got a sad past. Fuck the cat, he’s annoying.

When Starla was at one point like “YOU KNOW WHAT? FINE, KEEP YOUR SECRETS. I DON’T CARE ANYMORE!” in regards to her Aunt. And then she was influenced to be like “you know what? Yeah, I’m running from my problems.” NO YOU AREN’T. You are disengaging from a situation that is way above your emotional paygrade where you had to do all heavy lifting. Pissed me the hell off.

And now I have an emo vampire and her annoying wannabe emotionally-constipated fake familiar-but-actually-human friend who is also shoving her issues into my face and refuses to address them when Starla calls her out. CAN EVERYONE JUST FUCK OFF FOR ONE SECOND?

Yaoi has poisoned all of your fucking brains !!

[autisticlee]

that feeling when you're so unwanted and dismissed and disliked by everyone around you...when you offer help and suggestions or try to join conversation or anything and the response you get is always "no/go away/I didn't ask you/etc" it feels horrible and when i ask what the problem is and why they hate me they just say "I never said I hate you/there's no problem" but the way they talk and act SHOWS ME THEY HAVE A PROBLEM OR HATE ME. you can't insult me every time I walk into a room or dismiss every single thing I say without even hearing it all and then say you don't hate me or have a problem with me! it doesn't work that way! either prove me wrong by showing not telling, or just be honest.
