Morro Ninjago Has Scabby Knees Pass It On

FGHGHFGH YR RIGHT

[boom-fanfic-a-latta]

Give me more Lloyd and Garmadad fluff (holds dumplings against your face) Let's give the green babey a buffet.

So...TIME TO BREAK OUT THE COOKING SHOW IDEA!

(There is no chronological sense to this snippet, be it its location in the timeline or how much time goes by during the actual competition section, and I apologize for anyone I confuse)

—

“...Remind me why we’re doing this, again?”

“It was Garmadon’s idea, remember?”

“I know, that’s why I’m asking.”

“Kai!” the master of water scolded.

“Kidding, Nya, I’m just kidding...but still, we’re actually filming this?”

“Indeed we are.”

Everyone turned to stare at the former dark lord.

“...Dad?” Lloyd ventured. “What in Ninjago are you wearing?”

“A suit, Lloyd. I’m the host, so I have to look the part.”

“I...I have no idea what to make of this...”

“You’re one of the judges, son, that’s all you need to worry about.”

“I feel like Zane shouldn’t compete, to be honest,” Jay piped up, then at said ninja’s look of confusion, quickly explained, “I—I’m not saying that to be rude, it’s just—he’s too good, and none of us would stand a chance!”

“Ah.” The nindroid nodded in understanding. “Do not worry, I am also only a judge.”

“Hey, I’m just hoping there will be cake,” Cole said, sitting next to Lloyd at the judge’s table.

The three ninja who were competing took mental note of that.

“Now,” Garmadon asked, adjusting his tie, “is everyone ready?”

“I think so,” Nya replied, speaking for the group.

“Then—PIXAL, you may start filming now.”

—

“Okay, who took all the salt?” Nya demanded, sounding both confused and annoyed. “Also, HOW did they take all the salt?!”

“Sorry, I panicked!”

“Jay, all of us need some of that!”

“I said I’m sorry!”

“Who knows where the bowls are? I can’t find any—“

“There should be a selection of bowls in one of your station’s cupboards, Kai,” Zane called over from where he as watching the chaos unfold.

“Oh. Thanks!”

[Kai: Honestly, I have no clue what I’m doing right now. I’m mostly just grabbing things at random—what, I’m making sure I’m checking what I use, I just don’t have...any plan going into this whatsoever. *Shrugs*]

“How is everyone holding up?”

“I think I set my stuff on fire...”

Garmadon sighed. “Let me come check...”

[Nya: ...Look, I don’t know how it happened, okay? One minute everything was fine, and the next, the oven was pouring out smoke! *Sighs* At least I didn’t use all the batter, so I still have enough left for a second try...]

“You all have 15 minutes remaining, so I would start finishing up...I’m still amused that you all decided to make cakes.”

“Come on, why won’t you stay put?!”

“What’s wrong, Jay?”

“It keeps falling off no matter how I secure it!”

“Did you try using fondant?”

The master of lightning fell silent as he thought this over.

[Jay: *Glances behind himself, then turns to face the camera* ...WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME I COULD DO THAT?!]

With a groan, he facepalmed. “I’m such an IDIOT!”

“Three...Two...One...and, Time! Step away from your creations.”

—

“Well, that was...an experience,” Lloyd noted once the camera was turned off. “I did not expect Kai to win that.”

“How did we not know that everyone can make such good cake?” Cole wondered in disbelief.

“I have no idea.”

“Did everyone enjoy this?” Garmadon asked the team, receiving unanimous nods of agreement. “We’ll have to do this again sometime, then. Anyways, you’re all free to go now.”

The Sensei waited in silence as the ninja left the room, then—after he was sure they’d left—turned to PIXAL, who had been working the cameras.

“None of them have figured out the real reason I did this, have they?” he chuckled. “Lloyd certainly looks quite full now...”

The samurai smiled. “Though watching everyone attempt to bake was very entertaining, you must admit.”

“Yes, that was a fun bonus.”

Jay uses a clorox bottle as a waterbottle for the memes (my friend did this, became a huge meme overnight as "cloroxboi" in the club)

Ok like boi I have a lot to say. I rewatched Ninjago after 5 years and please let me say that I love Lloyd and his sword skills are defo more honed than Morro or even Kai ngl. (His stance and grip is like, so good. Morro has decent grip but his stance is wack). I will cry and sob at how much he's progressed as a character. 5 years of not being here and I... need a good cry

asfdg congrats on the rewatch! welcome back to lego ninja pain land :’D that is a moOD though, I love watching Lloyd fight at this point, he’s so over-the-top fancy but you’re right!! he’s also come so far!! in every way and I’m so proud :’D

(on a slightly less upbeat note because i’m me — it kind of makes sense that Lloyd would be the furthest ahead in terms of fighting form and skill by now ((especially in comparison to Morro, who’s spent a couple decades in the Cursed Realm so his style is probably more “unhinged” than anything)), bc not only has Lloyd gotten an extensive amount of training by all four of the OG ninja, but he’s the the only ninja that hasn’t dropped it ((for a time)) at this point. Lloyd’s never had any other option than being the Green Ninja, or at least he’s never let himself consider it, and since he’s been stuck in this role since he was about nine, his life is being a ninja. He doesn’t have a fallback like we see the others do in s4, because Lloyd’s entire existence is about living up to this prophecy and at this point it’s probably something he’s planning on living and dying by, so I can see him being ten times more devoted to having that perfect stance than anyone else because what does he have, if he’s not the Green Ninja, and I’m veering off track again bUT now I need a good cry as well)

I HearD HAM WHERE THE HAM

NO WHERE THERE WAS NO HAM WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[lovely-blue-galaxy]

I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

[spin-in-time]

Tall polite introvert, funny and normal, friendly but slightly negative

I am

Tall

Yes

I'm hesitant to call myself an introvert but the thing is i literally do not know because i am so fucked up as a human being that i cannot tell

Funny and friendly yes (be it not being able to communicate without being dumb and joking or just coping), slightly negative MIGHT be but the thing is i think i worked on that and i'm actually always trying to be positive in the way that i'm more solution-orientated and i - like honestly often don't care enough about things to even be negative haha. Apart from that yes thanks it's the depression

I take personal offense at you saying i give off vibes of being normal

HAPPY TENTH ANNIVERSARY YA FILTHY ANIMALS!!!!

https://octaviawsfe.wixsite.com/spinbitchsite

As promised, this is my final history project, a criticism of Ninjago!!!! Including your favorite terms, orientalism, the white savior trope, white saviorism, and tokenism!

I worked really hard on this website but here is my perspective, as an Asian-American on the problems with Ninjago and the real life impact it has. So anyway, if you disagree with any of the following statements, please go get educated!:

- Ninjago is racist

- Ninjago disrespects east asian cultures

- Ninjago denies opportunity to POC while profiting on a commodification of their culture

- Ninjago’s portrayal of asia is incredibly harmful 

special thanks to posts/discussion from @tianeyuan, @garmadonisbackbaby, @tippydorman, @skylorchen and @snimbusjavy that helped me get educated :))

edit: since this is getting some traction (thank you all, and I’m so glad ppl are resonating both with my experiences and my critiques), I’d like to once again highlight I’m *not* trying to cancel the show or make ppl feel guilty for watching/enjoying it. the purpose is to make ppl think critically about ninjago, asian rep in media, and future depictions of asians/asian led projects. 

additionally, i’m open to questions or debate about this ON THE CONDITION that you, a) have read the site in its entirety, b) will be civil about it, c) are actually open to having your mind changed. 

Also if you catch any mistakes (as some ppl have) please let me know! I’ll fix it asap. I am only one person who hasn’t watched the entire show in some time and I did this project on a lot of late nights. Thanks everyone!

THIS IS AWESOME

EVERYONE GO CHECK THIS OUT ITS AWESOME

Family (Garm and Lloyd centric, domestic fluff drabble)

“My son… Look at you…so grown up, and yet so painfully thin...”

Lloyd couldn’t stop himself from a weak chuckle. Of course he would say that. He shrugged like it was no big deal. 

Wrong move.

Garmadon gripped his shoulders, letting out a shuddering sigh before his lips tug up into a rather scheming smile. “I’m going to make you your favorite dumplings and fill you up until you’re no longer a skeleton.”

No one had heard such a line spoken so threateningly before. And yet the atmosphere was so light and humorous. The battle was won. They could rest a little now. Garmadon picks up his exhausted son, and the wacky little group heads back indoors. Repairs to the monastery would come later. 

Lloyd didn’t remember much of what happened next though. One moment, he had been reveling in his father’s arms, finally alive and good-hearted, and the next he was waking up from murky darkness in his own bed, covered in layers of fleecy blankets.

His heart begins to skip a beat as sweat forms on his skin. Was all of it a dream? Were the Oni even defeated, or ever came to Ninjago to begin with? Is his father- Is he even-

A warm scent breaks him out of his questioning thoughts, and his heart reflexively settles at its familiarity. Noodles in shrimp broth. The wafting fragrance was spreading from the kitchen in the monastery. Lloyd couldn't help but follow the familiar scent all the way to its source, slow on his shaking legs (seriously how long has he been out)? 

As he enters the kitchen, Garmadon notices him, and Lloyd froze like a child caught doing something naughty. However he gives off carefree laughs at his reaction. "Hungry, aren't you?" 

A deep growl from Lloyd’s stomach was the only response he could give.

Garmadon laughs as he begins to serve up the meal. He sits the blonde boy at the table, and gently places down an enormous bowl, steaming hot and full of delicious looking noodles, topped with a generous pile of dumplings and shrimps. As if Garmadon hadn't already gone over the top with the portions, he slides another plate full of pan-fried potstickers. 

Lloyd grimaced at the spread of food before him. Did his father really think he could stomach this much food? He doubted even Cole could. 

Garmadon placed his still warm hand on Lloyd's shoulder and asked, in concern: "Lloyd? Why aren't you eating? You need some nourishment."

Lloyd relaxed slightly at the warmth, picking up his cutlery, his hands trembling ever so slightly. He stirs the noodles hesitantly with the chopsticks and begins to eat.

Almost like a trance he'd suddenly been lapsed into, the nostalgic and authentic taste of his father's absolutely divine cooking overwhelmed his senses. Overcome with emotions; Lloyd did not realize he had picked up the bowl, scarfing down the contents as though he hadn't eaten in weeks. When he finally lowers the bowl in a bid for breath, he comes to the realization he had unknowingly emptied the entire bowl. 

"Oh…" he groaned, stifling a little burp.

"My, you really are starved. Here, the potstickers should help fill you a little more" Garmadon warmly remarked as he shifted the dishes so that the plate of potstickers were in full view and reach of Lloyd. Lloyd was already so full, and yet somehow, something was compelling him to practically inhale the entire plate worth of potstickers anyway. One bite was all it took to make his decision for him, the irresistable taste urging for more. Slowly but surely, the plate was emptied.

He'd finished all the food prepared for him! Lloyd leaned back in the chair, completely and utterly stuffed. He felt so bloated, his stomach full, warm and heavy with food. Resting a hand on his slightly bloated belly, he sighed in relief and contentment. His father only looks on in mild amusement and surprise. "Goodness, what an appetite! I suppose I'll have to make your next meals just as hearty then!"

Lloyd couldn’t help it. He teared up, a wave of emotion coursing through his soul. “I missed you…” he whispered.

Garmadon reached over, placing a hand gently on his son’s own. “I’m here now…”

The pair had returned to Lloyd's room, the elderly man bundling the youthful blonde back into blankets in bed with a firm insistence on rest. Lloyd, for once, felt sleepy as he drifted off to sleep, warm both inside and out, the last thing he knew before his eyes shut was his father's dry calloused hand gently patting his back.

The next few days felt like an absurd flurry of events. The gate was being repaired, the debris had to be cleared and the lamps replaced. A mural was being plotted upon the yard's walls, a depiction of the legacy of the big found family. And yet, even with so much to be done, Garmadon had somehow found the time to cook up a storm, feasts fit for gods in enourmously generous portions that found its way into Lloyd's stomach. The young boy quickly found himself much hungrier - the anticipation of food made so lovingly by his own father. He ate with vigor and voracity unrivaled, an appetite of inhuman proportions.

Garmadon could not be a prouder father. Lloyd had saved him time and again, and to be able to express his love for the teenager through his cooking that seemed to trigger such eagerness in his son, only steeled his resolve to nurse his dearest only child back to the pink of health. Lloyd was still awfully thin, undeniably, but it was clear to all who passed by that the adolescent was beginning to regain a healthier complexion. He just needed more rest, and a bigger abundance of rich heavy meals - plenty of meat and proteins. The oni and dragon blood in Lloyd would hopefully respond readily to the avalanche of nutrients that was to flood his body.

Three meals a day with everyone else quickly grew to include several extra private meals - just Lloyd and Garmadon, the former packing delicious food away most impressively, and the latter cooking just as impressively and accompanying the conversations. It had been a little over a month since the battle, the mural well under way. But the walls were not the only things that began to flush with vibrance. Lloyd had visibly begun to fill out, thriving under the ample love of Garmadon. The fair-haired young man no longer looked sickly pale, a dusting of rose over his cheeks bringing life and color into his face. It was a most precious sight.

The days of peace since the victory against the Oni still felt foreign and strange to everyone in the monastery - for once, there was no one to be fighting, no plans to be rushing. It was all a time of quiet serenity well-deserved. And it was just exactly what Lloyd needed. Having his needs met - a loving parent, a surplus of delicious meals to nourish him, and a lack of constant stress had certainly helped his rest. What had been nights of tossing and turning within nightmares he had to face alone had become long bouts of untroubled slumber. It wasn't long before everyone was pleasantly surprised - for the first time, Lloyd looked relaxed, laughing cheerfully, carefree and genuine. He was running about with the energy he had seemed to lack more and more over the years, his eyes shining with cheeky excitement and vitality. Almost like the child he never got to be.

The liveliness within the Monastery only seemed to grow with his recovery. More time was spent as a family, whether it was in the kitchen learning to cook with his father and Zane, or standing out in the yard eagerly chattering the night away while Kai manned the grill, serving up helpings of perfectly grilled meat with fiery flair that never failed to make eyes roll at his dramatic ways. The family was whole and together again, it was all they could have asked for.

It was almost in a blink of an eye when the Winter solstice came and went, as a new year drew ever nearer. One who saw Lloyd now would've hardly recognized him. No longer was the green ninja scrawny and sickly - no, he had a flourishing glow of health about him that could light up any room with his cheeriness, his now slightly podgy build showing the bounteous love that he received from his family. Garmadon had never dropped his hobby of cooking, and with the help of the ninja, found his new calling. He opened a restaurant that soon became well known for its homely atmosphere and its heartwarming dishes, a direct competitor to the major chain of Mister Chen Noodle House restaurants throughout Ninjago. Wu too, had found his peace in retirement, spending many a day in the monastery carefully calligraphing the chronicles of Ninjago's history.

After all this time... it seemed that the First Spinjitzu Master had finally given its protectors the happily ever after they deserved. Or has he?
