I wish it was easier to sort and categorize single playlists on Spotify (like literally just being able to add small notes to specific songs) bc otherwise this AUs general playlist looks like it has glee and highschool musical songs in them for no reason BUT I PROMISE THERE'S A REASON!!

CHERIK REVIVAL IM SO SORRY

[fsheryy]

he said it !!! that's the name of the show what !!!!!!

anyway silly idea that popped into my head what if the Ninja unknowingly already came across Jay and smth resurfaces in him

[psychologicalwarclaire]

Wu trained Morro at the same time that Garmadon was training with Chen which MEANS that Misako was around to see what the pressure of wanting and training to be the Green Ninja could lead to.

So later when she had Lloyd and KNEW that he would be the legendary Green Ninja, do you think she thought of the child Wu had once trained? The kid who became so obsessed with proving himself that he put himself in danger time and time again? The little boy who ran off into the night and never came back?

After seeing that, is it any wonder why she didn't want to leave her son-- the actual Green Ninja-- to be trained by Wu at such a young age?

Maybe a boarding school for bad boys would never make him want to be a hero. Maybe it would keep him safe from the destructive power of destiny. Maybe Darkley's was the only way to save her beloved son, Lloyd Garmadon, from himself.

Maybe Misako remembered Morro. And maybe, just maybe, she knew it would be best if her son never turned into someone like that.

Taylor Smith

is the elemental master of fire. He was the 3rd to find the old monastery, the 3rd to connect with elemental masters and 4th to discover his powers. His weapon of choice is a mallet. A close second is a set of twin blades that connect to each other in order to be easily carried and be used as a double-edged and double-sided sword. Taylor has the largest collection of various weapons, as she developed an ability to forge her own. Taylor and Adrian have a set of twin swords that combine to create a large bow, but they are only able to use them when they find a true balance.

Taylor lived in a smaller, newer city a few miles away from Ninjago City. Where he lived was often plagued by petty criminals and their family's shop (an already struggling business) was often the go-to place for petty criminals who just wanted the thrill of doing something bad rather than people in genuine need. After experiencing many break-ins and having an overly stressful time growing up, he became apathetic to life from a young age. They were seemingly unfazed by anything. After high school, Taylor makes music in their free time while helping their parents with the shop. He loved music and knew it was likely one of the only things he cared about outwardly. However, she never wanted to attend a school for music to disappear in a desperate attempt to find their big break. So, at age 20, they look after their younger siblings, slowly take over his parents' business as they grow older, and he tolerates the life he's living. Somewhere along the way, they realised they were generfluid and bisexual and their family were supportive, despite not initially understanding the terms. Their music let them make some extra money, which they put into the family's savings account and kept small amounts so he could get piercings, buy his siblings new clothes and make sure everything stayed afloat. The financing was helped by their slightly younger sibling Yvie, who is 18 at the beginning of the story.

Taylor discovered his powers at 20, completely out of the blue, during a sudden surge of passion and joy, the first extreme positive emotion she'd experience in years. Almost immediately, they made contact with Kai due to their similar feelings of responsibilities for their relatives, which had been part of what caused the emotional influx. However, they do nearly burn down the building they were in, so that was not good.

Taylor was unable to decide about going to the monastery, as he didn't want to just up and leave their family with nothing. So, they broke and told Yvie to receive their advice. Yvie hit him for even suggesting not going. So, as yvie was 18, they became the manager of the family business and was in charge of the family's finances as Taylor left to find the monastery. Yvie and Taylor told their family Taylor had been given an opportunity to travel with a small band for free. As their music continued making money, and as Taylor's younger siblings were able to get jobs to earn their own money, the family were able to save more and slowly become more comfortable in simply existing. Taylor was finally convinced to leave by receiving Avneesh's letter.

Taylor remained apathetic (seemingly just very chill and light-hearted) for a while at the monastery. When they began making a specific team structure, Taylor didn't really care for what position they took. They ended up becoming the media rep for the team; whenever they did interviews, their light-heartedness was often what avoided people panicking and Taylor had a talent for getting people to listen or to keep talking (many years in customer service.) Their fighting style is Melee a majority of the time, their weapons consisting of mallets, swords and katanas however they increasingly use ranged weapons, such as the large bow they use with Adrian. They also later learn to use throwing knives and shurikans, and their morphweapons often include an ability to fire bullets or arrows. Taylor is able to ambush enemies, sneak, and hide easily. He isn't the fastest or strongest member of the team, but they learnt how to sneak from dealing with home invasion and burglary A LOT. Taylor is able to identify risks to revealing locations and often stops the team from stepping into traps by being extremely aware of their surroundings.

Taylor struggles to learn how to harness their powers, often resulting in their coming in strong, uncontrollable bursts, then being very weak and impossible to use. Over time, Taylor learns control the strength of their powers and develops complete control over when and how they use them.

Taylor was happy being around the team and enjoyed the family dynamic they developed over time. Even though she tries remaining at least civil with his team, it is clear he and Adrian do not get on well. They are polar opposites in attitude, fight style, and behaviour, despite their similar desires, worries, and views on the world. This is why it's so hard for them to find balance when working together.

Taylor's family finds out he's a ninja when an extremely violent burglary takes place at their shop. She returns home to support them and brings Avneesh and Kay with them. Their family overhear Avneesh and Taylor arguing about Tay keeping their family completely out of the loop, and the truth comes out. They're supportive but deeply worried, and there's some arguing about only Yvie knowing what's actually going on.
