#ninjago crystalized au

[morroodle]

I think this is probably one of if not the most complex morro designs I've ever made

I was bored and rewarching crystalized so I decided to redo/redesign me and @mochinoodle 's shared baby known as Lizard Morro. It's an au where with the power of the storm amulet morro gets revived by harumin during crystalized and then causes problems on purpose. It hasn't been updated in aged and might be abandoned but I still love him <3

Dark Lloyd (My Crystallized AU)

Story:

When Charlie aka Kura, got to the city of Ninjago without the ninjas and her sister and her father not knowing, until Lloyd found out she was back when he heard her haunted voice while getting kidnapped by her, Charlie was forcing Lloyd to make him watch everything burn around him and torment him, when Ember went on a search for Lloyd, Charlie captured her sister, after she got her sister, she told Ember about how Charlie was born and created that Lilith wasn't the one who made Charlie, it was Ember.

Ember has so much regrets about what she did to her sister, she tried to reach out to Kura and get her back home, but Charlie was unpredictable and has hurt a lot of people, when Ember saw Lloyd badly hurt by Charlie who tormented and torturing him, Ember confronted Charlie of what she has done and she was trying so hard to reach Kura and make up for everything and they can be sisters again, but the couldn't farther from what will happen next.

Ever since the day when Ember defeated Lilith who took her in when the time Ember thought her sister was dead, affirming her motherly love to as she died, and also because Ember doesn't get her trust when she chose to be with her team instead of her sister, Charlie embraced her nature and disowned her on the spot before she went off to Ninjago, everything went to a black rabbit hole of what she's gonna do next.

Charlie found Misako in her hideout, Misako tried to run away from her but it was too late, Charlie was much quicker due to her new speed abilities by the crystal king giving her some of his powers to her. Misako died from being stabbed in the back by Charlie, after she killed Misako, she burned the hideout and vanished to go back to the primeval's eye (the crystal temple).

The ambulance and the firefighters found the hideout on fire, when they took the fire out and got Misako out of the building but it was already to late, she's already dead. Wu, Drago and the ninja's found out in the news that Misako got murdered, they were all devastated, hurt and angry, they all found out that her murderer is Charlie, they're all so angry and couldn't believe that Charlie took someone's life away.

When Ember and Lloyd got back and found the Ninjas, Drago and Wu in the secret base where they can't be found, they found the group looking devastated and sad, they explained to Lloyd and Ember about what happened to Misako, Lloyd was devastated, grieving his loss of his mother and Ember also was sad for the loss of Misako but she was trying her best to comfort Lloyd. When Ember asked them who killed Misako, and she couldn't believe of what she is about to hear next.

It was Charlie who killed Lloyd's mother, they both could not believe what they heard, mostly Ember who didn't want to believe that her own sister could do something horrible just like how Lilith killed her mother, Agatha. Lloyd has became more dark and bitter and the death of his mother impacted him a lot and he is also planning to get revenge on Charlie for taking away his mother like that, his eyes were has turned from green to purple pink color and also wears a black headband to symbolize his character and also the grief of the loss of his mother.

Ember was also impacted a lot, she was going through so much from lack of sleep and rest and she was even overtraining herself, she feels like what happened to Misako was also her fault and everyone is suffering by Charlie because of something that she, Ember herself created a hundred years ago, she accepted the Kura is gone and only remains Charlie. After she, her father and the ninjags were ready to take down the overlord and Charlie, Ember and Lloyd has a conversation about why Ember is willing to face Charlie because she's her sister, but she explained that Lloyd, Micha and the ninjas were right, her sister is gone, there's only Charlie now.

Crystalized AU Idea - Vessel AU

Currently vibing with thoughts for a Crystalized AU (I’ll put it under the cut just in case the spoiler tags don’t work), feel free to send asks or use this as a prompt (just please tag me) or reblog and add your own ideas (just remember to tag spoilers!)

So the Crystal King is the vessel body of the Overlord, right?

...what if the ritual wasn’t to summon him, but to prep a new vessel host? One that’s quite familiar to us?

Option 1) Lloyd

In this version of the AU, the kidnapped Lloyd gets prepped for the ritual, and the Overlord returns possessing the hero that once vanquished him. Lloyd gets Morro trauma re-hashed, his family (who have been tearing out their hair looking for him) finally find him only for him to be possessed by the hecking OVERLORD, and Garmadon gets to have a fun reversal parallel to Season 2 in him calling for his son to fight off the Overlord.

Also Lloyd being alone when it happens, alone and scared and suddenly every bit the kid/younger teen he should be if the tea hadn’t happened, and he can do nothing to stop the Overlord from gaining the powers of Energy and the oni/dragon

Option 2) Wu

Not too many thoughts here, just the fun parallel of Wu being possessed like his brother was in S2, some of Wu’s dragon genes coming out

Option 3) Pixal

90% likely this results in a future where the Overlord wins. The other 10% he’s defeated in 5 minutes by Pixal kicking him out.

Option 4) the OG4 (Kai, Jay, Cole, AND Zane)

Four for the price of one (and my personal favourite of the bunch)! Harumi uses Lloyd to lure the four into a trap and capture them, then use them & their golden weapons in the ritual. The Overlord possesses all four at once (a 1 mind 4 bodies deal), with crystals and glowing purple eyes and slight draconic/later possibly centaur features. Sometimes just one talks for all, sometimes all four talk in sync, and sometimes one starts a sentence and the other finishes it (plus a fun mix of their original voice and the Overlord’s voice). They wield the crystalized version of the golden weapons and all their elemental powers change slightly to match the crystal theme (purple fire, purple lightning, crystal earth, and crystal ice).

The Council is half infuriated over having to bow to the four ninja, half smug over having bested them in revenge with the Overlord in control of them now. There are a few incidents where they see or hear them and nearly attack before remembering.

Also because the Overlord now has his own powers + the four elements of creation, Nya is speedrunning getting her powers back to save them. AND we get a new and improved version of the Replacement Ninja (including but not limited to: Pixal, Echo, Ronin, Fugidove, Akita, Okino & Blazey, Vania & the Upplies, and Benthomaar), and even Morro gets summoned from the Departed Realm because since he has knowledge on possessing people, he possibly has knowledge on how to UNpossess people.

please know i spent like 2 hours on these @volcaberg

[lazycranberrydoodles]

sketches of @ataraxixx’s fic recursion! it’s a swap au of morro and mr. e, plus rewriting of nya’s water ninja arc. i highly recommend it, it dissolved my art block ^^

Emo makeover

[pillowmints4lloyd]

Isn't he so silly :D

Changed the hair design because I liked the idea of him being a natural brunette. The details for this AU can be found here.

Anyway, here's a drawing of this cute little Oni dude. I'm 1000 words into the fic for this YAY. Also 900 into the Wu raising Lloyd AU. Click the photo for better quality cause tumblr is blurrifying it 😓

Exerpt from the fic:

He needed Garmadon's corpse if he was going to correct that stupid mistake his old self made. Besides, he liked the corpse! Sometimes he took it around with him to places, regardless of the gagging that he would sometimes hear from the citizens that would unfortunately cross his way. It was like his father was still there.

My favorite insane boy.

[yeetusthemighty]

Huh I wonder what that blue glow is (spoilers under the cut)

oh.

(Decided to crop this one just in case anyone cared about spoilers)

Phantasm Cave Part 1 (cause the comic was too long)

See, I told you guys I was gonna make a comic for this scene, after all I can't pass up an opportunity for angst :3

Link to part 2

[ogzieoggleton]

My "Lord garmadon is a part of the Crystal Council au" just got an angsty update.

Mentioned auto-cannibalism BTW (only breif buuut)

Garmadon starts to hear the overlords voice talking and taunting and tempting him through ghostly whispers, soething of which makes him think he hears the Overlord from his hand. His biten hand.

Delusional, hungry, tired, and anxious from the overwhelming build-up of evil he can feel, he cuts his forearm off in what remained of the temple of ressurection (upon listening to Butchers Vanity, it turns out I decided he would eat his own arm upin it's removal..)

The pain leaves him vulnerable, and the overlord takes him as his fith and final servant. Garmadon is beyond devoid of life and is basically stone amongst the rest of them, acting more like a silent backup to garumis second in command. (This leads up to an interesting arc for harumi to see her "god" nothing but a dead puppet with blood dripping down his face almost constantly.)

Anyway, when Garmadon is taken by the overlord Wu starts having horrible hallucinations and nightmare if his brother standing right infornt of him in the shadows, his glowing eyes dark, tired, and blank but his glare is pain ridden. Within these terrors, Wu watches as the hand Garmadon cut off pushes itself out of his brother mouth, reaching for Wu with a desperate tremble...

He always wakes up and immediately starts to search for his brother upon last sightings, but it only leads him to the former temple of ressurection- the temple now being wrecked as if it had been attacked.. maybe a certain oni wasn't very happy with the voices in his head?

With Garmadon bow pretty much back at square 1 of his revival (Quiet, complacent..) Lloyd has to struggle with his reawaken trauma, Harumi has to reconsider her decisions, and Wu has to fight against his loss of his brother..

In the final fight of crystallised, Garmadon finds his will to serve the side of good upon having the weight of his existence thrown down on him like a sledge hammer upon a glass table.

Garmadon's attack to retaliate for the multitudes of soul wrecking trauma he had faced in the recent months from the overlord alone, only to find the overlord alone was the reason for his whole life of suffering, did not end well for the oni and left him beaten and weak to where he was dying in Lloyd’s arms.

Lloyd, overwhelmed, terrified, and now heartbroken, he can't avoid an oni form moment of which ends with him spying the body of his father now being held by harumi as he splutters for breath. The sight of this in the crystals' reflection causes Lloyd to look hopelessly at his father before being beaten back and knocked from his oni form..

In the end, Lloyd finds peace with his oni form in the way that the Ninja made peace with their lost powers in that final scene and they rebuild their life with Wu and Garmadon being seen eith each other with Garmadon using his brother as a support for walking..

Morro and lizard autism creatures real

[miqotepotatoe]

I like putting Cole through various scinareos

breif explaination bellow

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Crystal King - Overlord uses Cole as its vessel in Crystalized because Harumi has a sick sense of vengence. What better way to get back at the guy who nearly unknowingly ruined your whole plan by having him be a vessel to the embodiment of darkness, evil and chaos

Source Dragon - The Source Dragon of Strength chooses to live among humans by fusing its soul with a newborn baby. Cole is unaware of his true nature until Dragons Rising when Ras captures him and unleashes the Source Dragon within him

Traveller - Cole leaves the ninja after DoTD thinking they don't need him anymore (still hurt from being forgotten). He does his own vigilantie thing until SoG where he learns of the SoG's plan and steals the Mask of Hatred from both the SoG & the Ninja. To make sure no one will ever get their hands on it, he travels to the other realms with help from Mystake

My Nonexistant Friend - DoTD bad end, Yang returns to life, Cole is stuck at the temple forgotten by everyone. Until 300 years later where the current Master of Earth finds and befriends him. I have a fic written and completed, give it a read if you wish

Elemental Anacondrai - Chen is a bitch. Chen brands all the loosers of the Tournament of Elements as his slaves, meaning they also get snaked in the last few episodes of the season

First Realm - Cole is from the First Realm and lives among the dragons. The ninja meet him when they're stranded and he helps them out by taking them to Firstborne. He ends up in Ninjago in March of the Oni when the First Realm is destroyed so tbe ninja adopt the feral elemental master into the found family

Oni - Omega's a bitch. The Oni find Cole on deaths door after The Fall and turn him into an oni both to save his life and add him to their army. It doesn't work Cole just goes back to help the ninja, now a demon cat

Master & Student - Yang's a bitch. Yang wipes Cole's memory and treats him a like a student, all in a way to manipulate him and make him more willing to take on the temple's curse so Yang can be free. Yang is like a mix of both Mother Gothel & Pink Diamond

i put a not insignificant amount of effort into this for some unknown reason ....

[llannasvsp]

hot take: lloyd in crystalized was not out of character. my reasoning for this is... actually there's a lot of reasoning. one of the biggest complaints people have about crystalized lloyd is how he treats his father in comparison to early seasons lloyd and to that i say: early seasons lloyd had not been disowned nor had he been beaten half to death by his father. i don't think i would be as willing to work with my father had that happened to me. his reasoning (garmadon being oni) may have been flawed, but i also think he was putting his own personal reasonings (being disowned and almost killed) behind, and attacking the thing that didn't include how he was treated.

i understand why people would be mad about lloyd attacking the oni side of his father, given the fact that mystake was amazing and also sacrificed herself for him, but when people are trauma responding, they tend to forget the good things and focus on the bad. lloyd didn't want to bring his own feelings into it, because he has invalidated his own feelings. therefore, he attacks the thing that has nothing to do with him.

DISCLAIMER: i am not attacking nor am i intending to invalidate people who think that lloyd suffered "character assassination" in crystalized. i just feel the need to give my own opinion about it. i will most likely talk about this topic again because i am so passionate about it.
