Hi yeah sorry me again with more DOTD thoughts, it still makes me lose my mind sometimes I know this is probably all in my head just because I think about these two characters a concerning amount but it always interested me how Cole paralleled/contrasted Morro on a scaled-down level. I can't get this out of my brain in a way that makes total sense but bare with me here. I just can't get over the going-it-alone-out-of-anger/desperation-and-the-terrible-consequences-that-followed. He goes after Yang out of anger and desperation and unleashes the souls of departed enemies (accidentally) on his friends. He fought through all of Yangs students on his own to reach Yang himself in a confrontation surrounding an interdimensional rift, and we get yet another scene of a Sensei trying to talk sense into a student except this time Yang is the one forcing Cole to let go and not the other way around, sending Cole back to life instead of to another death. After everything is said and done he has a bright green scar/rift on the left side of his face which always reminded me of Morro's bright green hairstreak on the right of his. The visual parallel is less important to me but still neat yk. Also one being sent high into the air and one being sent deep into the sea, floating temple vs. underwater tomb, yeah. You don't have to tell me that I'm overanalyzing this and looking for connections that probably don't exist because I know I am, but I still lose it everytime. Cole only survived because Morro was able to remind his friends and Sensei that he even existed and it sent them to go find him and give him the strength he needed to keep going. It just makes me think about how Morro could've turned out in different circumstances constantly. Like, what if he had sources of worth and love that weren't tied to the idea that he was the green ninja. What if he had friends to keep him grounded like Kai or family to worry about or an identity of his own before ever being introduced to the idea of the green ninja like everyone else did. God day of the departed should've been so much longer I wanted SO MUCH MORE out of it ALSO also would've loved to see Cole and Morro actually interact. In my head they're such a duo and I care about them greatly I'm also definitely not insane over Wind and Earth and their twin connection to death and also destiny and legacy. Definitely not. Topic for another time I've rambled too long

[razzle-zazzle]

you have a sandstorm au?

I have a wholeass playlist for it, too 💪😌

I've summarized it before but it's been a while and some things have been updated so here's another quick summary, under the cut because of allusions to suicide:

Cole kills himself prior to canon by way of train, and ends up in the Cursed Realm. He meets Morro, and initially the two of them don't interact all that much until Morro figures out Cole's supposed to be the master of earth. Morro teaches Cole how to fight, Cole teaches Morro ballet because he doesn't want to owe anything to Morro, and they bond and it's nice and sweet and the Preeminent is looming over everything!

When the Cursed Realm is opened up and Morro and Cole slip out, Morro possesses Lloyd as per usual. Where things change is that Cole comes in separately and pretends to be enemies with Morro, allowing him to get in good graces with the ninja. He sticks around, helping them in their attempts to get the Realm Crystal before Morro can, and finds that it's actually... not that bad, hanging out with these guys.

But Cole knows where his loyalties lie. When the ninja get their hands on the Realm Crystal, Cole steals it to bring to Morro, who uses it to free the Preeminent as they planned. But Cole's time with the ninja had an effect on him, and he really cares a lot about Morro. Like, a lot. And while before that saw him being willing to follow Morro wherever, now (with some nudging from Wu) it's got him moving to work with the ninja to stop the Preeminent. There's a brief fight between him and Morro that doesn't do anything but affirm that they both really care about each other.

When the Preeminent's defeated and the ninja are victorious, where does that leave Cole and Morro? Wu offers to house the two, but Morro needs time and space after everything, so he and Cole set off to parts unknown. They don't return until Day of the Departed, and even once they have bodies again they're still not certain about their future. But they're here, and they're together, and there's a whole wide world and a whole wide life for them to live. So why not try?

So we got how clingy Lloyd will get with Kai in the coming season but what about him with the other Ninjas? How clingy do the other Ninja get with each other for example after getting Zane back or after skybound?

NINJA PILE!!!!!

(no seriously they're like GLUE every time they think they've lost someone forever—)

It’s 5:20 am I go at last to bed

brief break to inform you all that ahe is to die/death, ta'eta is madness/insanity, and wai'o is to harm/hurt. notably as well, hio also means to sparkle/glitter/gleam and the only other word listed as a term of enderament means jewel/gem. also there are gendered words for siblings but spouse/partner/mate is neutral. also he/she/it are the same third person singular pronoun. there is a plural and paucal they. as well as two "we"s and 3 "you"s

and some other neat words. "huwe, particle; a reminder of information the listener ought to have according to the speaker, but seems not to be acting upon" i love you makehu.

Morro: [waking up] Time for another day of being better than Lloyd

Kai: [walking past Morro's door in the hallway] Keep dreaming, windbag!

Morro: Fuck you, hair gel!

May and December.

It's the same silly. Just prettier.

I just realized, from the leaks, the part 1 finale is basically DOTD reversed

spoilers under the cut

We have a villain(Ras/Yang) using a specific phase of the moon(blood/yin-yang) in conjunction with a magical artifact(gong&mallet/yin blade) to open a portal to revive someone antagonistic(forbidden five/Yang himself), which is stopped as one of the ninja enters the portal instead(Cole becoming human again/Kai being trapped with the forbidden five). Really hope they at least put in a little reference to day of the departed, because this is an awful lot of coincidence otherwise
