NEXO KNIGHTS FANS UNITE!

I wrote 3,4k of Moorington family angst centered around Merlock finding Clay as an orphan. Voila.

[i-am-evilsylveon]

MHA x Nexo Knights

Backstory time baby!!!!

Since Clay was orphaned during his infancy if I’m correct, Merlock found the poor thing in a farm on the outskirts of the countryside. The wizard would then take his nephew to the Knights Academy to train to become a night.

In this Academy, there are dorms where two or three students room together. Builds either team building or healthy rivalry! Lance and Clay would room together and not get along from the start due to Lance’s… change in attitude.

Clay was the only one who saw right through Lance’s self centered act. The blond boy would sometimes sulk by himself during free time while he would play with a lighter most of the time. Sometimes he’d stare at the flame longingly, as if it were some place he’d could never get to. During this, Clay would try and console his friend the best he could without pushing Lance’s boundaries. But whenever Clay did try asking Lance about the lighter, the blond would give him a death glare before telling him to go away.

Later on, Clay would meet Toga. The girl reminded him a lot about Lance from her blonde hair to her gorgeous canary yellow eyes. She’s sometimes flirt with him just to be funny, but he never picked up on it. However, he would see Lance smile and brighten up a bit whenever he was around his sister. Sometimes Toga would sneak into the academy and try and teach the boys how to do magic while it was lights out for everyone else.

Clay did exceptionally well with a few baby tricks, while Lance struggled in making anything happen. However, Toga eventually stopped coming to visit altogether and Lance went back to sulking and fidgeting with his lighter. Clay would try and get him to be more focused on his schoolwork, but found Lance more focused on a certain spell Toga tried teaching him a few days ago.

A certain… fire related spell~

Lance Richmond was flanderized since Episode 1 and I’m kinda miffed about it

Lance fans I’m calling you out, tell me all his redeeming moments, every time he made a peasant joke I immediately forgot them all

[nervouswreckhere]

Look, do I like the whole Wanda/Ruina reveal? Yeah. But I like star wars so that's not surprising.

But I find her whole plan very conditional - what if Merlok had told Clay the truth? (She knows her brother ig so maybe that's why she knew Clay wouldn't have been told but still!)

What if when Clay confronted Merlok about his parentage Merlok revealed their relationship? Clay would know his magic isn't what is making him evil simply because his mom is evil - they might have even investigated more, tried to replicate that cleansing spell or whatever. Merlok's jump to conclusion frustrated me bc his sister was obviously affected by sth with the whole black cracks spreading and glowing yellow eyes and he never once thought that Clay might be experiencing something similar. Like he was under mood-altering spells or sth? No, it was immediately, his magic is what's making him evil - like... no??? Why would something that has always been a part of him be changing him unless it's due to an outside reason

Ruina was damn clever bc she knew her enemies intimately - she knew of Clay's strong moral codex and that once all the anger died down he would remove himself from the equation simply because he already did that once before. The whole desert seclusion thing - she knew about that and she planned accordingly. Like yes, props to that. Anger him enough to become a liability in his own eyes and he will be off the chessboard

But how did she know if the knowledge of their relationship would be enough to push him overboard?? He might have pulled a Luke and decided that their relation won't dictate his future! That the powers they share don't mean that he will repeat her mistakes! He might have seeked alternative methods of control.

Did she base everything on his reckless decision-making? Did she think that Merlok wouldn't be able to talk some sense into him? I mean yes. They needed to revert him back to human and what better way than the whole to unresponsive stone and then breaking free.

But after he broke free why didn't he think he was evil??? Why did he just think everything was okay?!

*takes a deep breath*

...this became a rant and I'm sorry. But still. Merlok should have done more. Just saying

[yoshimickster]

Okay so...Merlock is...just a wizard version of Sensei Wu right? Friggin Lego.

S5 JESTRO!! Finally finished this after 2 weeks of procrastination. I drew my headcanons for s5 jestro for my silly au/fan season/ headcanons for nexo knights. Basically at some point during s3/4 Jestro finds out he is distantly related to Monstrux which is why Monstrux was so determined to use Jestro as his scheming buddy. Magic in thr Nexo Knights universe is a genetic thing- you either have it or you dint and genes can also play a role in what type of magic you can use. Monstrux comed from a long line of necromancy and while necromancy itself isn't inherently 'evil', it can become evil. Nexo magic is kind of like an anti evil. It can be used to clense evil magic of its negative energy. Although with the forbidden powers it can be corrupted, although this is hard to do.

In s5 Jestro begins to practice his own form of necromancy, which im thinking his little monster fellas could be like puppets and ventriloquism?? Since Monstrox zapped him it kinda activated his magical abilities like Clay. But cuz of his previous corruptions it's still kinda evil on its own. He and Clay combine their magics together and wait for it... Nexomancy!! Clays magic can be controlled without using a weapon or a staff etc but Jestro uses an old staff he and Merlock found when they were researching the origins of necromancy. He doesnt have a shield because he didn't actually graduate from the Knights Academy but after he proves to knights that he doesn't want to be evil any more he becomes an Honorary Nexo Knight. Yes this is literally just me brainrotting Jestro being magic WHAT OF IT?? HES MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER SO I GET TO DO WHAT I WANT WITH HIM!!!

Also Jestros little family crest is a crow. He doesn't actually have an official one cuz orphan and he don't wanna be associated with Monstrux- he already has a few of his characteristics e.g sharp teeth and cat-like eyes. Clay designs him a family crest when he finds out Jestro is gonna be made an Honorary Knight. Why a crow? Crows can symbolise transformation and change, which is kinda symbolic of him changing himself froma villain to helping the knights. Also crows are often associated with death and evil which i think kinda resembles his magic in a way (necromancy is associated with death). Also Claystro both have matching bird crests yayy!!!

Probably will ramble about this au more in future/when i actually have a solid plan for a plot and ruina/clay lore figured out cuz IDK!!

[hugsandchaos]

Y’all know that audio “It’s Wizard Time, mother fucker! Fireball!”, right? I thought of Nexo Knights while it was playing in my head and now I can’t unsee/unhear Merlock saying that.

[melpomene-malstorm]

So, I was looking up Nexo Knights characters and...Ava digitized herself!! (In the never-gonna happen season)

The wiki just says in so nonchalantly--

I know Ava and Robin would have been older in the next season but still. The girl gave up her physical form.

The angst potential--The knights, for one thing. Ava was a kid for most of the show, and I bet she just did all this without telling them. Imagine the guilt, especially from Clay and Macy. Did they do something that made her feel that this was the best option?

And Robin--would he feel like he isn't doing enough? Does he feel he isn't doing enough if Ava did this, and that's its his fault.

Merlock--I know he was captured, but when he learns what Ava did, he would be horrified! He knows what its like to loose your physical form, and he wouldn't wish it on anyone--especially Ava.

And Ava herself--when space of mind was she in? With Monstrux gaining ground in the digital world, was it helplessness that caused her to do this? Or did she feel, without helping Merlock with his powers, that she was a useless part of the team? Did dhe think everyone would be happier with her as a digitized valkrie? Did she think the team only saw her for what she could do?

Why does no one talk about this?

[starrbuggie]

I need more images of merlock drawn over those wizard memes.

[themonsterandthefool]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but doesn't jestro already have magic in the show? like hes able to use a wizards staff and in the knights of the realm part 2 i think hes shown using a wand and turning stuff into pigs. so do you think anyone in knighton is able to use wands/staffs or do you have to be born with the ability to use them in the first place?

hiiiiii! Sorry for the very late response. I haven't watched any online media of Nexo Knights since I was watching it on TV at the time. You are actually the one who brought the online media to my attention anyways, now that I know about this:

Everyone is born with varying amounts of magic. Some can channel it without devices, and some need devices to channel their magic. Jestro is the latter and becomes the former as time goes on, however, he was a late bloomer when it comes to magic (changing kotrp2). Merlock did some tests at Jestro's request but couldn't find anything magic-related in him (RIP), so jestro became bummed ::( when the whole tower goes boom boom happened (I really need to rewatch nk) it finally unlocked that magical potential so yay

MHA x Nexo Knights

There will be a ton of changes to the plot and characters of the show. Right now, let’s focus on the crossover part!

Firstly, Lance and Toga will be siblings in this story his home life is close to what Toga grew up with. Lance and Toga aren’t twins either, Lance is a year older than Toga. They never got along due to Lance being self centered while Toga was more humble. The one thing they did agree on, was that their parents sucked.

Sure, Lance got everything he wanted, but his parents made him become a knight as it was traditional of all the male heirs to do so. He wanted to be an actor or an author of some kind. His creativity was immeasurable as his sister would support him despite their petty feuds. His parents were also very strict with him since he was the first born son in the family. He would go on to become a knight like his parents wanted him to, he would accept that but still try and find a way to make it into the world of cinema. He thought Toga wouldn’t be hammered by tradition since she was well… a girl and the second born child. Oh, how wrong he was.

After he left, Toga was hounded into being the perfect woman to bear children. Stuffed to the most gorgeous yet painful outfits just to look presentable for any man to oogle at. Toga would tell her brother this and break down crying over what was repeating in her new life. Lance would later come across Merlock as he finished up his conversation with Chase. Lance would plead for his sister to be saved from their parents. Merlock felt pity for the boy, and would devise a plan on doing so.

Merlock then personally asked for Toga to be his student. He needed someone to be his pupil so that he may pass down his legacy onto them when he eventually kicks the bucket. The Richmond couple were delighted as this was perfect for bragging rights and would cash in plenty of suitors.

Lance would reunite with his sister, but only for a moment before Toga would be taken to the castle to train under Merlock for the next couple of years. As the years passed, the Richmond parents would then demand their daughter be returned to them as they had found her the perfect suitor for her to marry. Merlock wouldn’t tell this information to either of the Richmond siblings, as he would send Toga away on wild quest for ancient artifacts lost to time.

Lance would only find out about his sister’s “quest” until her came home for a holiday or something like that. His parents were enraged by Merlock lying to them about not returning Toga to be married off. They prepared a wedding gown and everything.

At this, Lance would come up with a plan to burn the dress and everything his parents placed up for the engagement party. This fire would inspire Lance to love such an element as became a symbol of freedom to his sister. Now this self centered attitude was becoming a front. A character in a movie he must forever play in order to make sure no one knew about Toga or what he had done to keep her out of his parents’ grip.

Angst TW: suicidal thoughts/attempts. Amd very sad things

Clay was mentally unstable when his mother went missing.

Jestro’s parents used to hurt him (mentally and physically) to get what they want from him

Monstrox died of an overdose but then came back by merlock.

Monstrox and the other jesters were his true family jestro that he ever had.

At a young age lance and the other popular kids used to mock jestro and clay for being “too close” making him have a bleeding nose.

Macy wants to be confident, but is scared that her insecurities will get the best of her.

Knightro’s biggest insecurity is his eyes. (Two different colors)

The jesters had actually names before they changed it.

Electro’s actual name is ben.

Jestro’s name is George

Knightro’s name is andy

Eviltro’s name is ross

knightro is very protective making him the strongest jester

electro really likes science but it was hard for him to understand the process of science

(and to the nexo knight fandom, you all can have self inserts if you want)

when you realise you have been spelling Merlok's name wrong for the entirety of your existence
