went to go work on raising hell and ended up missing Skylor, so!! I will always have so many emotions about s8/9 and the aftermath of it, here's another gallon of them.
Two months after theyâve taken back the city and the street lights are finally starting to work again, Lloyd shows up at the restaurant an hour past closing time, sporting a spectacularly bruise and enough blood across his gi to make the Ninjago City Blood Drive teamâs day.Â
âHi, Sky.â Lloyd waltzes â or attempts to, itâs more of a stumbling collapse â right in as if nothingâs amiss in the slightest. âSorry, Iâm, uh. Was in the neighborhood and I wasnâ sureâŠwhere else tâ go.â
Skylor, still frozen over a stained tabletop with her dishtowel in hand, stares at him.Â
All things considered, she should be fully prepared for something like this. It should practically be in her restaurantâs training manual, that at some point youâll end up confronted with a bloody, half-dead ninja in your door. But given how slow the past few weeks have been, coupled with the sheer exhaustion of dealing with the lunch rush and the dinner rush and the late-night somewhat-inebriated people rush, her guard is apparently down enough to leave her reacting with a simple, useless, âOh god.â
âThaâs my grandfather,â Lloyd says. Thereâs blood at the corner of his mouth â coupled with the bruising, Skylor thinks (hopes) itâs simply from split skin or a bitten cheek, instead of crippling internal bleeding.Â
Crippling internal bleeding is enough of a concern to finally spur her into action, dropping her towel and rushing over to help Lloyd finish stumbling through the door. She spares a moment of thanks, that thereâs even a door at all â repairs in the city have been slow, since Harumiâs brief reign of terror, and the insurance provider is still holding out on her.Â
But the door was a good thing to prioritize, she thinks, bolting it firmly behind them.Â
âSorry, again,â Lloyd murmurs. His jaw is working in the tight way it does when heâs biting back pain, his bottom lip bruised and bleeding. Skylorâs stomach twists.Â
Youâd think, after all sheâs been through, sheâd be more accustomed to seeing the people she cares about in pain. That sheâd be desensitized enough, to fight back the aching nausea and the gnawing desire to look away.Â
Or maybe sheâs just a coward. That would track, she thinks.Â
âShush,â she says instead, maneuvering Lloyd further into one of the nicer booths, careful of the blood thatâsâŠeverywhere. âWhat did you do to yourself this time, huh?â
âI didnât do anything,â Lloyd grumbles, his voice steadier now that heâs sitting down. Unfortunately, heâs only paler under the yellowy restaurant lights, and the blood looks about ten times worse. âI justâŠslipped. A bit.â
Slipped. Skylor could smack him, if he wasnât already hurt.Â
âLemme see, then.â She bends down to where she can tug the folds of his gi back, trying to trace the blood to a source. She finally finds it â an ugly wound in his left shoulder, several long gashes across his forearm. A knife, maybe. Possibly a sword, but it looks close-up and quick. Itâd need to have been quick, for whoever was wielding it to land this many hits.Â
Or Lloyd would have to be sloppy.Â
Lloyd gives a stifled, shuddery exhale, a dangerous preamble to tears. Skylor pauses, just for a moment, and deliberates.Â
Sheâs got Nyaâs number, carefully keyed into her phone ever since she and Kai started visiting the noodle house. Thereâs no doubt in her mind that sheâd want to know about this â and thereâs less doubt that Kai would want to know. if anything, sheâs surprised he hasnât burst through the restaurant doors already, summoned by whatever sixth sense he has that goes off when Lloydâs in danger.Â
But Skylor also knows thereâs got to be a reason that Lloyd came here, despite his claims. Just as thereâs probably a reason he didnât call Kai or Nya, or any of the others.Â
And perhaps she feels just a little proud, that Lloydâs chosen her to come to.Â
Itâs quickly lost in the blood that coats her hands as she begins patching the wound in his shoulder, but the feelingâs there nonetheless.Â
Itâs a nice feeling, being relied on. Being trusted.Â
âWho got you this bad?â
She speaks up mostly to break the quiet. Lloyd isnât quite like Kai, who likes talking simply to fill a space, but she knows he isnât fond of silence, either. Itâs one of the things they share in common.Â
âNo one.â Lloyd sucks in a breath as she draws the bandage tight across his shoulder, wrapping it beneath his arm and back over. His eyes close briefly as she ties it off, forehead scrunching up, before he lets out another shuddery exhale. âSome guy, uh â guy on the way home, near the subway. I had answered a call earlier, and I guess â ow, heyââÂ
âSorry,â Skylor winces, as she finishes dumping antiseptic across the slashes on his arm. âIt hurts less if you arenât expecting it.â
âThatâs a lie,â Lloyd says, pointedly.Â
She shrugs. âSo, random subway mugger?â
Lloyd looks away, his cheeks darkening. Itâs a relief, to see any color in his face at all. âSort of.â
He leaves it at that, lapsing back into silence. Skylor looks down, focusing on the butterfly stitches sheâs placing across his arm. Were it anyone else, sheâd have panicked for actual stitches, but Lloyd heals with an uncanny quickness. She remembers Nya complaining about it, back during the Resistance â how Lloyd threw a fit when his skin healed over the stitches, and theyâd had to cut him open all over again.Â
Sheâd probably throw a fit of her own, to be fair.Â
âWell, if you see him,â she says, reaching for the roll of bandages. âPoint him out. I could use a punching bag.â
Lloydâs lips quirk, a ghost of a smile.Â
âThank you.â
Itâs quiet enough she mightâve missed it, if they were any further apart. Skylor doesnât miss the meaning, either. She simply shakes her head, wrapping another layer around his arm.Â
âIâm just glad you came to someone,â she says. âInstead of half-assing it yourself.â
Lloydâs fingers twitch. âI wouldnât do that.â
âUh-huh.â
She canât pretend she doesnât understand. Her childhood is filled with fun little memories of patching herself together, hiding wounds from Clouse or her father in an attempt to convince them she was better than she was.
Not that the people Lloyd is hiding from are anything remotely like her father, of course, but thereâs an overlap between people you fear and people you love, and trying to convince them youâre stronger than you are.Â
âThat should do it,â she nods to herself, surveying her work. She feels unusually proud of herself â Skylorâs never really stayed with a team long enough to have many chances to patch people up. Itâs rarer that people are so open to her touching them, once theyâve learned what her power is. The ninja are an exceedingly kind exception, but it still makes her feel warm, being given this kind of trust.Â
She glances up, eyeing her patient. Lloydâs still pale, but itâs far better than the ashy color from earlier anymore. âAnywhere else?â
âNo.â Lloyd stares at the strip of bandages across his arms, shoulders hunched over on himself.
âI have Nya on speed dial, you knowââ
âIts just a few scrapes,â Lloyd rolls his eyes. âItâs nothing.â
Skylor sighs. âLemme see.â
Lloyd grumbles, but he lets her grab his arm again, wincing as she dabs antiseptic over the smaller cuts. Thereâs nothing serious â just a few nicks and scratches, the kind you get from eating the ground mid-fight. Heâs got one uglier scrape, but itâs about as nasty as a skinned knee, and easily eclipsed by the scar it bleeds through.Â
Her fingers falter. She knows this scar â she was there when Kai struggled to patch the wound it once was, back on her fatherâs island. Itâs an ugly, jagged scar, a testament to how Kaiâs hands had shook as heâd tried to be gentle.Â
In hindsight, it had been a terrible moment. Kai wasnât sure if Lloyd had picked up the wound from the underground tunnels, Chenâs cultists, or his own brief slip into the madness of the staff. Lloyd wouldnât say where it was from, even if either of them had been much for talking. And Skylor had been an awkward, purple-scaled fixture next to them, holding the medical kit while the others planned how to kill her father.Â
And yet, it was the lightest sheâd ever felt.Â
Skylor bites her lip.Â
Sheâs never told Lloyd, what exactly heâd meant to her. He likely has no idea, what heâd represented when sheâd first met him.Â
The son of one of Ninjagoâs greatest villains â and people loved him.Â
Kai loved him.Â
If Lloyd could overcome the hurdle of his parentage and choose to live the way he wanted, if people could look past the dark stain of his legacy and love him anyways, then maybeâ
Heâd been hope, when she needed it most. And Kai had lived up to that hope, taking Skylorâs half-formed, frail dream and fueling it into a blaze.
Her eyes close, briefly, and she shivers.Â
âAre you okay?â
Blinking her eyes back open, she comes face to face with Lloydâs concerned expression. She shakes her head, looking away.Â
âIâm fine, Iâm fine.â Embarrassment pulls at her. âJust a bit ofâŠaftershocks. You know.â
Lloyd frowns, clearly not knowing. âAftershocks,â he repeats. âFromâŠâ
His eyes go wide, only for his expression to immediately crumple. âOh.â
Skylor waves her hands. âItâs not bad,â she reassures him. âI can barely feel him â his power â anymore. Just pins and needles in my hands sometimes, thatâs all. TotallyâŠtotally normal.â
She hopes. Garmadonâs power had burned, in the way bitter cold feels against your skin, so a bit of numbness is pretty decent tradeoff, if she says so herself.Â
Lloyd looks down, expression shadowed and hidden. Skylor could curse herself â she knows better, than to bring upâ
âHere.â Lloydâs suddenly holding his hand out, looking at her earnestly. Itâs an almost childish expression of sincerity, one that makes him look much younger â a little more like the Lloyd she met on her fatherâs island, who beamed when his father ruffled his hair.Â
Her chest aches fiercely, and Skylor holds out her hand before she can hesitate. Lloyd takes it carefully in his own, and she watches in fascination as the low shimmer of green engulfs her fingers. Lloydâs power is as gentle as he is â nothing like the ravaging purple storm that was his fatherâs.Â
âOh,â she says. âThatâs nice.â
Lloyd makes a humming noise. âIâve been practicing. H-his power doesnât get along with mine, that much. So it kindaïżœïżœmakes room. For whoeverâs stronger, at the moment.â
Skylor fights back a shudder. Realistically, she knows she shouldnât feel ashamed, that Garmadon overpowered her â heâs Garmadon. The reminder of how his power felt still stings, though.Â
Itâs a reassurance, that Lloydâs power is stronger now. His element, if you can even call it that, is probably the one sheâs the least familiar with â sheâs never tried to copy Lloydâs power. She isnât entirely sure if she could, or if she should. Dipping into Garmadonâs power was dangerous enough. Skylor isnât stupid enough to pretend she has the willpower to meddle with the power of the FSMâs family much more than that.Â
âIt feels like cheating, kinda,â she finally says. âThat fighting fuels his power. How are you supposed to fight back?â
Lloyd shrugs, letting her hand go. âYou donât. You get really good at dodging.â
Skylor leans forward, propping her chin up in her palms. âThatâs stupid.â
âWell,â Lloydâs lips twitch, just the slightest bit. âThatâs Garmadon, so.â
His expression immediately fractures, and Skylor can spot the battle in his eyes as he tries to grasp for composure. Her teeth worry at her lip.
She should really call Nya, now. Or try to track down Kaiâs number. Or anyone else â itâs nearly two hours past closing, the kitchenâs still a mess, and Lloydâs blood is all over her dishrags. Lloyd himself is hardly in better shape, the ghostly pale of his skin reminding her horribly of when she first saved them from the Sons of Garmadon, and Skylor isâ
Not enough.Â
She ought to know that, by now.
But the fact still stands, that Lloyd came to her. A part of her clings to that, and another selfish, awful part of her, the part that festered on her fatherâs island for so many years, the part that still flinches beneath the weight of her last name â well.Â
Misery loves company, is probably the best way to put it.Â
âI shouldâŠI should probably get going,â Lloyd says, uncertainly. He doesnât make any move to get up, though, still small and weary where heâs hunched up in her booth.Â
Skylor stares at him, and thinks of sitting for hours on the edge of her fatherâs island, staring at the sun on the water until her eyes ached.Â
âHey,â she says, a bit breathless, twisting her fingers together. âWanna go skip rocks?â
Quite fairly, Lloyd stares at her like sheâs lost her mind.Â
They end up on the rickety end of one of Ninjago Cityâs abandoned docks anyways, a mismatched selection of somewhat flat rocks spilling out of a Chenâs to-go bag. Lloydâs left arm is tied up in a mangled sort of sling they fashioned from Skylorâs old sweatshirt, leaving him to turn a rock over in his right hand awkwardly.Â
âSo, funny thing,â he says. âI donât, uh. Iâm not very good at this.â
âThatâs okay,â Skylor says, sifting through the rocks theyâve gathered. âIâm not, either.â
âYeah?â Lloyd sounds hopeful. âI mean, you at least know the trick to it, right?â
âI donât,â she shrugs. âIâve neverâŠIâve never skipped rocks before.â
Lloyd stares at her.Â
âItâs not that weird,â she huffs, fighting back the urge to hide. âI mean, I never really had the chance, but I aways thought â I grew up near the ocean, and all these lakes, so I always thought itâd be fun to, yâknow, skip rocks, since I didnât really haveâŠanyone else, toâŠâ
The rest of the sentence is about to turn even more humiliating, so itâs a relief when Lloyd interrupts her.Â
âI havenât either.âÂ
He immediately flushes. âThatâs why Iâm not good at it.âCause Iâve never actually skipped rocks.âÂ
âOh.â Skylor looks at their bag, then back up at him. âWell, cool. Weâll both suck, then.â
âHow hard can it be, anyways?â Lloyd says, sorting through their rocks. âYou just find a flat one, right?â
âYeah,â Skylor says. âThen you sort of just, frisbee it. I think.â
âHm.â
âYou havenât thrown a frisbee either, have you.â
âOh, like you have.â
Skylor presses her lips together, snorting. âWas wondering when your snark was gonna show back up.â
âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â
âDo you not remember half the stuff that came out of your mouth, back at the tournament?â
âYou wouldâve been out of your mind too, if you had to herd the guys around then â also, bold words coming from you, ooh, how dare you call me a traitor, even though itâs totally dead-onââ
âThat wasnât even close to what I said, and alsoââ Skylor snatches a smooth rock before Lloyd can, hefting it up. âItâs not like I was gonna admit to you all I was a traitor. That defeats the whole purpose of betraying. Lying my way out of a corner was the smart choice.â
âYouâd be surprised,â Lloyd mutters, as Skylor flings her rock across the water.
They both watch as it splashes sadly, sinking instantly like, well. A rock.Â
âOkay,â Skylor cringes. âThat was a warm-up.â
Several warm-ups later, neither of them have made any progress whatsoever, save to torment whatever fish are hanging out on this side of Ninjago Cityâs harbor with relentless rock barrages.Â
âThis is ridiculous,â Lloyd huffs, watching as his rock all but torpedoes into the water. âWhatâs wrong with us, that we canât get one stupid rock to skip?â
âMaybe itâs in the wrist?â Skylor flexes her hand, angling it one way then another. She winds ups, throws the rock out, and â nope.Â
âI think weâre getting worse,â Lloyd remarks as Skylor sputters, wiping the seawater that splashed up from her face.Â
She canât help but agree. Theyâre down to a few rocks left, and neither of them have made any progress, much less skipped a single rock. At some point, they give up altogether, seeing who can throw their rock out the furthest instead.Â
âThis oneâs goingâŠâ Lloyd raises his arm, closing one eye and squinting as he angles higher. He finally pauses with his hand pointing upwards toward Ninjago City. âRight through that weird oval thing on Borg Tower.âÂ
âDonât hit it too hard,â Skylor says. âThey just got it back up last week.â
âIâm not hitting it, itâs going through it, werenât you listening?â
âTo you? Nah. Iâve heard you suck at public speaking.â
âWow, after you forced me into the live broadcast and everythingââ
As if to emphasize his distress, Lloyd takes a running start, hurling the rock forward. They watch as it arcs across the skyline, before plummeting somewhere in the harbor.Â
âSo close,â Skylor murmurs.Â
Lloyd flops on the ground with a dull thump, legs sprawling in front of him as he leans back on his elbows. Skylorâs makeshift sling isnât doing much at all anymore, though it looks like he doesnât need it to.
That, or heâs hiding pain stupidly well. Which wouldnât be surprising, if disappointing.Â
âDefeated,â he mourns. âOverthrown by rocks.â
Skylor dusts gingerly at the ground before sitting next to him. âThey sure got the best of us, this time.â
âMaybe itâs a learning curve,â he says. âThat or we missed, like, the optimal rock-skipping development time.â
âMmh. Maybe we need to recruit a teacher who actually had a decent childhood.â
âIf you find someone, lemme know.â
They both laugh, breathless and hollow, because theyâre not much else they can say, to that.Â
Lloyd sits up suddenly, pulling his knees to his chest. His arms wrap tightly around them, eyes glued forward. Instead of asking, Skylor follows his gaze to the skyline of Ninjago City, the darkened scars left behind by Garmadon and Harumi painfully pronounced this late at night.Â
It couldnât have been longer than two weeks, could it? Their rule over the city?
It feels like years.
She canât imagine what it mustâve been like for the others â canât imagine what it was like, ending it.Â
It pains her, but Skylor doesnât remember much of Garmadonâs defeat. Sheâd thrown everything she had into controlling his power, and when it had snapped back on her, ravaging through her like a cloying poison, everything had gone dark and hazy.Â
It kind of sucks, because sheâd done all that just to miss the most important parts, butâŠit is what it is.
What she does remember, besides Nyaâs steady voice and Darethâs panicked yelling, is the blazing warmth that was Lloyd carrying her.
That and his painfully bony shoulder digging into her stomach.Â
âI was trying not to get us crushed,â Lloyd mutters, cheeks turning pink. âSorry my shoulder wasnât up to cushion-y standards.â
âAnd Iâm trying to say thank you,â Skylor sighs. âBut seriously. Put something on those bones.â
âMeh meh meh,â Lloyd mocks. Thereâs a lack of his usual energy in the action, the dullness to his eyes only made worse by the bruise-like circles beneath them. But itâs still very Lloyd â a flash of the friend she knows.Â
âI really do mean it,â she says. âThank you. For carrying me out of there. For saving me.â
Lloyd stares at her with dark eyes. Not as dark as they were, back when heâd lost his power, but the glow is almost entirely absent.
âYou shouldnâtââ he bites off, frustrated. He tosses the rock heâs holding, up and down. âIt was never a question.â
He glances at her. âBesides,â and thereâs the closest sheâs seen to a real smile. âYou saved us first.â
Not nearly soon enough, she thinks.Â
She shouldâve told him, should have asked â should have let him know how it felt to watch her father fall deeper into madness, told him what it felt like to lose hope â what it meant, to move on.Â
To cut ties, before they strangled you.Â
âHow are you,â she says, as gently as she can. Then, because gentle doesnât always get you through the walls they buildâ âFor real. Not how people want to hear youâre doing, or the answer you think they want. How are you.âÂ
Lloyd stiffens. Thereâs a flicker of fear in his expression, his mouth moving on instinct.Â
âIâm doing okay.â
Tremors lace through his hand where he holds the rock, shuddering fingers tracing over the rough surface.Â
âOkay as I can be.â He looks down, the rock slipping from his fingers as his arms wrap around himself. âI know that isnât the answer you want, but I donâtâŠâ
He looks back up, the lights of Ninjago City misty in his eyes. Â
âI donât know what people want me to say,â he whispers.Â
Skylor wishes heâd screamed it. Wishes heâd snap, wishes heâd find the anger where it simmers inside him and turn it outwards against the world, rather than violently projecting it inwards like a masochistic missile all the time. Anything at all, instead of this hollow brokenness.Â
It reminds Skylor a bit too much ofâ
Well.Â
âI know I â things areââ Lloyd swallows. He pauses, raising his hand to scrub at an already-bloodshot eye. âEverything happened so fast. It was like â like getting hit with a bus, then another bus, then she â put the bus in reverse and ran me back over, and I never really had the chance toâŠtoâŠâ
âTo get back up?â
Lloyd nods. He picks absently at a bloodstained patch on the leg of his gi. âAnd I know thatâs just a stupid metaphor, but getting back up isâŠitâs reallyââ
Lloydâs pulling threads loose now, tugging hard enough that heâs likely to start unraveling holes in his gi.Â
âCan I tell you something? Something thatâs notâŠnot so good.â
âHey, you know me.â Skylor elbows him. âIâm an expert at not-good.â
Lloydâs eyes are a little too knowing. âYouâre really not.â
And sheâd turn a mirror on him, if she could. âWhat is it, then?â
Lloyd looks away, one unusually-sharp tooth gnawing at his lip.Â
âI know my dad â my dad I used to have â he loved me. I know he did.â Lloyd sounds, rather devastatingly, like heâs trying to convince himself. âBut now that heâsâŠnow that heâs like this, and after everything that happened, I almost wish â I almostââ
He cuts off, covering his face with his hands. âNever mind.â
Skylor stays still, her gaze fixed ahead on a dark spot in the city skyline. If it were her, sheâd wantâ
Lloydâs voice is a muffled whisper. âI wish heâd never loved me at all.â
Skylor lets out a long, shaky breath.Â
Lloyd gives a dry, horrible kind of laugh. âThatâs terrible, isnât it? Itâs so selfish, itâs â Iâm a horrible person, for thinking that way. But it â it hurts now, to think that â that maybe, now that Iâm different â and her â that even my dadââÂ
âIt hurts,â she murmurs. âTo lose it. To think that itâs your fault.â
Lloyd brings his arms over his head, the bandages on his left arm a stark white in the dimness as he buries his face in his knees. Curling up, as if he can make himself small enough the world will finally forget he exists.Â
SkylorâsâŠfamiliar.Â
But then again, is she?Â
She swallows. Her father was one thing, but if â if he came back now, after sheâs worked so hard to move on â at the height of his madness, what would she do?Â
Sheâs out of her depth, as sheâs always been.
But there was a reason she answered the call so fervently, a reason she followed Lloyd without hesitation. Skylor doesnât put much stock in the Green Ninja, doesnât put much in any kind of prophecy. But she does care, very much, about Lloyd, and she thinks thatâll take her a bit farther.
âYou know.â She looks down, running her finger over their last rock. âYou were one of the first people that gave me any hope that I could change. That, uh, someone could love me.â
Lloyd startles, emerging just enough that she can see the green of an eye. âHuh? Me?â
She nods. âBack on my fatherâs island, during the tournament. I was convinced thatâŠthat after everything Iâd done, with who I was, there wasnât a chance Iâd find someone who loved me.â
Lloyd frowns, lowering his arms so he can look at her fully. âBut I didnât â Kai was the one who reached out to you. He was the one that saw you. I didnâtâŠI didnât really do anything.â
âYeah. He did. But he reached out to you, first.â
Lloyd stares at her, eyes wide. Skylor smiles at him. âYou were good. No matter how bad your family had been. And itâŠit had been okay, for you.âÂ
The mistiness returns to Lloydâs eyes as he looks back to the skyline, his lip caught tightly between his teeth.Â
âWeâre doing okay, right?â Skylor pulls her own knees up to her chest. âYou and me. I mean, we helped, a lot. We fought back for the city. You did a lot more than me, obviously, butââ
âDonât say that,â Lloyd sounds pained. âDonât compare it, like Iâm â I do a lot more harm than good, sometimes.â
âYou donât say that,â Skylor snaps.Â
Lloyd flinches. She bows her head, staring down at her feet.Â
âWeâre good,â she says, hating the way her voice wobbles. âWeâre different.â
Itâs occurring to her, how cold it is out here on the water. She hopes Lloyd doesnât get home with a cold, on top of everything else.Â
âWeâre different,â Lloyd echoes.
âYeah.â Skylor swallows. âThat has to count for something, right?â
Lloyd makes a small noise, but it isnât one of disagreement. Thereâs a rustling as he reaches for the bag, then holds out their final, sad rock.Â
âWanna give it the last try?â He gives her a crooked, half smile. âMake it count?â
Her fingers close over the rough surface, cold against the warmth of his hand.Â
The brightness of the sun against water on her fatherâs island in her eyes, Skylor flings the rock as hard as she can, far enough that itâs swallowed entirely by the harbor darkness.Â
If she tries, she can imagine it skipping, just once, across the freezing waters.Â
She tells herself, it counts anyways.

literally nobody asked for this buttttttâŠ.
Here are my HCs for what everyone would be studying if I were to do a Ninjago College AU because if I have to suffer so do they!
Zane: culinary arts. I think if he didnât have to worry about saving the world all the time, heâd love to just cook for people as a job.
Nya: engineering. Specifically mechanical engineering. Sheâs already got a clear inclination for it, and we love to see a woman in STEM.
Jay: engineering again, but this time electrical. I feel like that oneâs for obvious reasons. Just combines his inventing/STEM interests with his powers.
Cole: double major in psychology and art. Iâm a big fan of artist Cole, and itâs something I think heâd really focus on if he had the time. Psychology because heâs grounded enough to consider the idea that art may not lead him to a lucrative career even if he wants it to. He wants to help others. Specifically I could see him studying child psychology.
Kai: hear me outâpolitical science but with the intention of going to law school. He has a very strong sense of justice and would want to make things he sees wrong with the world right. He wants to be the type of lawyer that sticks up for the little guy.
Lloyd: sorry but weâre skipping Lloyd because in a modern/college AU thereâs no tomorrowâs tea and heâs still in high school. He has no clue yet what he wants. Heâs considering studying astronomy though. But heâs kinda like âthis is a future me problemâ and a bit scared to think about his future.
Pixal: computer science girly!! She loves coding and finds it relaxing, so she thinks âwhy not do this?â. She accidentally stays up til 3 am sometimes because sheâs genuinely having so much fun on her studies.
Skylor: like Zane, culinary arts. She wants to own her own restaurant one day. Zane is the first of our 6 ninja she meets and befriends in this AU because of this.

I love thinking about children looking like their parents, what with the Ninja looking so much like their own.
Do you think Lou has to make sure he doesnât accidentally call Cole Lilly because heâs the spitting image of her? Do you think once, after Lilly had first died and Cole hadnât been sent to his school yet, that Lou accidentally called Cole âLillyâ and Cole thought that she was back, she was there and here with them and when he glanced around to see her he realised that his father was looking at him in guilt? Do you think ever since then, before Cole found peace within himself, he looked at the mirror and only saw his mother? His motherâs face, her smile and kind eyes, reflected on his own?
Do you think when Cliff Gordon held Jay, the new born baby of Libber, that he only saw her face reflecting back at him? The adorable freckles and the curly hair? Do you think when Libber died, Cliff Gordon couldnât look at the last thing Libber ever left him, and had to give Jay away less he broke down?
Did Wu look at Lloyd and see his brotherâs young face reflected back at him? Do you think Wu wonders if Lloyd is what Garmadon couldâve been like?
Do you think Misako looked at Lloyd and saw her husbandâs innocent face staring back at her, a lost memory that could never be her present or future?
Do you think Garmadon looked at Lloyd and saw all the things of Wu and Misako and knew that when the day came that he saw himself in Lloyd all he would-could- do was cry?
Do you think Kai looked and Nyaâs young face, freshly orphaned and alone, and saw his motherâs gentle eyes and comforting softness? That when he would wake up, blurry eyed and tired, he would look at Nyaâs face and have to make sure it isnât his mother finally coming home?
Do you think Nya only barely remembered her father, so when she looked at Kai, old enough to actually remember and recall, she automatically thought he was her father?
Do you think Dr Julien looked at Zane and knew that this child was everything he could, and couldnât be?
How many times did Chen look at Skylor, only to look away is disgust once he saw a face he wished he could never recall?
Man, i rlly need to stop with the do you think bull, its getting repetitive đ

BEHOLD, THE EPIC 26-CHARACTER POLY/FAMILY/PET FANART!!!
Youâve got ships! Youâve got adopted kids! Youâve got old man snail yaoi!!! I hope you all enjoy and have a happy new year! đ©·â€ïžđ§Ąđđđ©”đđđ€đ©¶đ€đ€ HD version here since yâall know how tumblr is LMAO
(Tag with any ships you want! Ship hate will be blocked lmao)
Artists commentary under the cut đ©·
There wasnât supposed to be 26 characters in this. It was just gonna be the core 6, and then I was like âwhat if wyldfyre was here! I should probably add sora and arin too! Oh pixal canât forget about her! May as well add morro while Iâm at it! And Geo and his kids!â And then 25 characters later my bestie @dojothegreat was like âyou gotta add the snail manâ and I was like âfuck I gotta add the snail manâ so now thereâs 26 fucking characters here!!! AND I DREW THEM ALL!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHHGHGHGH *dies*
Just tagging all the characters is gonna be awful. My heart goes out to all the people who tag just the core 4 with multiple things lmaoâŠ.. let aloneâŠâŠâŠ..everyone elseâŠâŠâŠnot even including all the sub ships lmfaoâŠâŠâŠ god fucking help us all :âD
