#oh and yes he did try to be a formling when he was younger

[grimbeak]

AU where Jay ends up in the Neverrealm? I’d like to think he’d get adopted by Krag or the formlings or something.

Ooo, yes. 

So Akita’s been on her own for around 13 years now, ever since the Ice Emporer showed up ((also, do we have a canon age for her? I haven’t watched the season in a few months but I’m pretty sure she was there when Zane first took over, so wouldn’t she be in like her 30s-40s? Lloyd’s a minor, ma’am, back off.)), when this... random baby just falls out of nowhere into the snow.

Akita:

Akita: huh 

So she basically goes ‘well ig this is mine now’ and just keeps him, names him Jay, protects him and raises him and stuff. Only really kept him because she was lonely and it got boring sometimes, wandering alone. 

So fast-forward seventeen years, Jay and Akita are out for their daily walk (she needs some exercise in her wolf form, and Jay’s happy to help with that), when they see a random kid in green being swallowed by an avalanche.

...Huh. 

So they save him, Lloyd wakes up to see a wolf-woman staring at him and what looks like a really excited fiftee- sorry, seventeen-year-old also staring at him. 

Jay has never seen another real person before (aside from a few villagers and Akita, but she doesn’t count because she’s his mom- (”I’m not your mom.” “She’s my mom!”)), and he is so excited and wow you have magic powers? I do too! Look! Lightning fingers and hands and basically everything else! 

Lloyd connects the dots of ‘lightning master that Wu couldn’t find-this kid has lightning powers and apparently has been here his whole life’, and it only takes him about a day. He’s still kind of slow.

I don’t have... all the memories of this season so- 

Jay keeps the peace between Akita and Lloyd (a bit easier bc Akita actually has to turn into human form to mom her son a lot quicker), somehow manages to get them all into the ice palace in one piece. Both Lloyd and Jay get captured (Akita is Very Mad at these people who kidnapped her son (and this other kid who she’s starting to grow fond of)), and then they meet Kataru, who is very confused upon learning he’s an uncle now. Jay refuses to stop talking to him, mostly about what Akita’s been up to. 

They get out, stop Zane, Jay’s a bit confused on the whole ‘he isn’t actually evil he’s just our friend who’s apparently 30 yrs older now and probably severely traumatized’, but he gets over it pretty quick once Zane’s interested in Jay’s powers. 

I’m just gonna say it takes Wu and Pixal a while longer to get to the Never-Realm using the tea, so the ninja have a few weeks to help fix up the village and stuff. Also see what this new kid’s (who Wu’s going to be very excited upon seeing) got. 

The bruise happens like this:

Jay, after knowing Cole for 2 days: hi guys this is my boyfriend

Cole: wha- we’re not dating 

Jay: yes we are shut up 

Lloyd is very happy that his big brother finally got a boyfriend. Especially one that Cole took one look at and immediately turned bright red. 

After ab 3 weeks, Jay’s made the decision to join his new friends in Ninjoga, or whatever it’s called. Akita understands, she was growing tired of this child anyway (she really wasn’t, but she won’t admit that.). Plus, if Jay can do whatever the hell he did to get here the first time again, maybe he can come visit. 

And... off to Ninjago they go.
