The arrival of The Strength can come off as daunting—he may appear too wild or too hesitant from certain viewpoints. But when he tames his raving emotions and casts away all doubt, welcoming a balance and power found only within...there is no force alive that could deter his might. And, with love and luck, perhaps he'll inspire that same inner strength within you.
Upright, the Strength represents Self-Confidence, Inner Strength, Compassion, and Persuasion
When Reversed, the Strength is indicative of Raw Emotion, Vanity, Self-Doubt, and Limited Self-Control

Endings are never really endings—only new beginnings. As an Ouroboros cycles eternally, so too does the energy of all things. Life finds a way to persist—but it can never fully be recreated as it once was, nor completely destroyed either. It may seem daunting, being confronted with this truth of reality...but you perch upon the precipice of fate and smile regardless, ignorant of what the future plans for you. The World is not perfect, but that doesn't mean we give up on it.
Upright, The World represents Ending Before Beginnings, Achievement, Fulfillment, and Decisive Moments
When Reversed, The World is indicative of Beginnings Before Endings, Closure, Delayed Success, and Failures

So how old is every guardian? Including genesis and epsilon?
Well technically the Guardians would be older than the FSM since they trained him in their ways while he was a realm-traveling child (but maybe they were 'children' too at the time, that's fun to think about! Lil puppy Eirlys and baby squid Tawhiri hanging with a teeny FSM ;w;.....but otherwise they're about the same age as each other)
Genesis and the Great Devourer are slightly older than Time Itself (which...we'll get into eventually), and Epsilon isn't even born until S7 (Lloyd is approx 16 at the time), so she's not that old at all

can you rank the guardians (including wojira and GD in book 2) from biggest to smallest
Well, back in 21-22, I had the idea for the Guardians to be able to change their shape and size at whim, but a) I could never figure out why this would be a thing they could do, and b) it never actually made it into a story, therefore it’s not ‘canon’. That being said, their sizes actually vary quite a bit as a result.
The Great Devourer is the biggest for, well, obvious reasons. If she didn’t have the destructive eating/growing thing (courtesy of biting Garmadon), she would’ve been equal in size to Genesis. But of course, she went from being smaller than them to utterly surpassing them.
Genesis/Wojira are next! They’re both about the same size, though they’re moreso long as opposed to being big, they still cut a rather imposing silhouette. They both drawf buildings and make people look like ants in return.
Next is technically Tawhiri. From just her head/body alone, she is the same size as Ruamoko, but her tentacles give her some extra length there. Nothing more terrifying than there being a big ol’ Lightning storm and then a giant flying octopus emerges from the clouds—
Then it’s Ruamoko! He’s pretty huge, being able to hold Cole in the palm of his hand for example, and able to catch a falling building (though that’s mostly due to his crazy strength anyway), but he’s not the size of a skyscraper or anything. As mentioned in the GD fight, he’s just a bit bigger than Eirlys and Vulcanell combined.
Next is Vulcanell, who is essentially the size of a regular lion, if not somewhat bigger. Large enough to hold/carry a few people on his back, small enough for fiery cuddles with a Fire Master.
Eirlys is also only a little bigger than the average wolf (which are actually already pretty big when it comes to potentially dangerous animals). Still imposing despite the relatively smaller stature compared to her fellow Guardians, but not above getting pets and treats from Zane (and Cole) on occasion snksnksnk.
Last is Epsilon, who for a good chunk of the story is about as big as the GD was pre-Garmadon bite. During the NRG Arc she starts to reach the size of a Boa Constrictor, and one day if she is cared for and treated well, she just might reach Genesis’ size as a proper Guardian, as her mother should have before her.

What are each of the ninja's relationship to their respective guardian? Do they ever make time to go visit their guardians? Will they be significant in the focus seasons of their respective ninja, or the focus seasons of their home realm?
They do make time to visit their Guardians when they can, although traveling all the way to the farthest corners of the world can be a tad inconvenient so it’s not terribly often. They also know that they can visit Vulcanell anytime (as he is the closest to the city, until Genesis is on the scene again) who can then summon the others, but they try to save that for extreme emergencies only.
I can promise they’ll definitely be prominent in the Ninjas’ focus seasons during the NRG Arc (Seasons 11-15), but beyond that I’ll include them if I can make it make sense! (We won’t be seeing much of them in S2 as they’re still recovering from S1, but stay tuned!)
As for the relationships themselves:
Zane never feels compelled to visit Eirlys, though when she decides to make an appearance for him he’s certainly not going to turn it down, and will make the most of the time with her. She misses him a lot when they’re apart, but she’d never show it snksnksnk. She acts like a puppy around Zane (and Pixal, and Cole if she’s in a good mood), and everyone else she’s a stoic lone wolf snksnk
Cole also doesn’t go out of his way to see Ruamoko too often (probably because going to the Western Province requires going through West Haven), but when they do get the chance to reconnect he always feels guilty about not trying to do more. Ruamoko never takes it personally, as he too is something of a rolling stone, but he’s always proud to see Cole thrive, and is happy to support Cole’s friends when he can <3
Jay always wants to visit Tawhiri but he never gets around to it (similar to visiting his parents, ha). When he finally makes good on his promise to take Nya to the Floating Ruins though, Tawhiri does not take well to Nya’s presence and that kind of puts a rift between them and it hurts Jay’s feelings. They reconcile during Skybound, though…but the same can’t be said for the other ninja (as they’re always going to be terrified of her temper gkdnslfdj)
Kai lucks out with Vulcanell, due to his close proximity and the amount of opportunities they’ve already had to fight side by side together. Vulcanell is a bit intimidating towards everyone else, but turns into a softie around Kai. Sometimes he sneaks out when he’s feeling particularly bad to go vent to Vulcan (and sometimes he does the same for Nya—she’s pretty close with Vulcan too).
If Wojira wasn’t, well, Wojira, I imagine she and Nya would be pretty close. …Though now I want an AU where Wojira is more benevolent and wasn’t forced to sleep through the terraforming of her realm and had the chance to connect with masters of her elements—
Lloyd also lucks out—when Genesis returns, he’s always patrolling the Central Province via the skies (a la the dragons in Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom) and is quick to come when there’s a drastic crisis (or simply if Lloyd calls him). There’s a strong bond of respect between them, similiar to Lloyd and the GD, but not quite a genuine friendship until some more time passes.
Epsilon basically becomes Lloyd’s pet, so, y’know. He might have a favorite without even trying—

idk if this has been asked before but what do the guardians think of the ninja's significant others?
feel free to not answer this if these are spoilers!!
Vulcanell is extremely wary of Skylor at first when Kai brings her around (and is like a territorial yet protective cat around Kai as a result) but she manages to get him to warm up to her eventually (I would hope so, since he’s made of fire—ba dum tiss)
Ruamoko already approves of Jesse if the Great Devourer fight is anything to go by snksnknsk, but otherwise he doesn’t have any strong feelings on Cole’s love life so long as Cole is happy
…Tawhiri, meanwhile, is of the opinion that Jay should be with the weather girl (Sunni), buuuuut that’s neither here or there (it’s because Nya reminds her a lot of herself, and Tawhiri takes that as a personal challenge lmao)
Eirlys adores Pixal the moment Zane brings her to meet her. She’s the opposite of Tawhiri—she appreciates how similar in temperament Pixal is to her, and they form something of a kinship because of it. (Plus she and Pixal both like messing with Kai, so, instant friendship there)
Wojira doesn’t get much time to form an opinion on Jay as a person, buuuut given the fact that Jay goes psycho-mode fighting against her, I can’t imagine her thoughts would be anything favorable fkfksks
Genesis doesn’t know what to think of Harumi. It’s pity there, more than anything else though. But he adheres to Lloyd’s desires/feelings, whatever they may be at whatever moment in time.
…Epsilon, on the other hand, loves Harumi and no one can figure out why.
(Brad in the back: It’s cuz they’re both SNAKES
Lloyd: Brad please—
Brad: YOU KNOW IM RIGHT)

How do the Ninja’s love interests feel/opinion about their significant other’s guardian?
Vice Versa Question
Skylor loves Vulcanell, even if Vulcan is understandably wary about her first. Treats him like the pet cat she never had. Vulcan also acts a winglion whenever Kai casually suggests a ‘romantic evening ride’ along the coast. Or across the ocean. Either way, Skylor finds it incredibly amusing (and endearing)
Jesse knows Ruamoko is a friendly and (mostly) gentle giant, but it’s really, really hard not to be intimidated when you’re standing beside a giant stone-back gorilla with fists that can rip buildings and start earthquakes…and you are very small and easily breakable. But aside from a surprise accident of some kind, he does feel very safe with Ruamoko
It takes a while for Nya and Tawhiri to reach solid footing—again, there’s a rocky relationship there because the duo are similar in temperament and feel that *their* thoughts are the correct ones, especially if the other disagrees. They can put aside their differences long enough for Jay’s sake, but it takes some time before they have full trust in each other. Sunni, meanwhile, thinks Tawhiri is the most fascinating thing ever because weather-creating octopus?!?!?! Right up her alley.
If Eirlys could talk, she and Pixal would definitely be gossip buddies, or throw shade about others off on the side. Also similar in temperament, but not in a way that causes them to clash—rather, their shared perspective on things makes it easier to build trust with one another (which makes Zane happy to see his girls bonding ;w;)/ )
Jay: *sees Wojira* *breaks bottle over his head* ITS ON SIGHT
Harumi would be more impressed with Genesis if she didn’t meet them around the time Lloyd outs himself as the Green Ninja, soooo…yeah. She does have a small soft spot for lil Epsilon, irony being what it is (the daughter of the bane of your existence is just too adorable to overcome sometimes)

can she tell the difference between an elemental master a guardian a dragon and an oni like if she was trying to find kai but vulcanell a fire dragon and a fire oni are there would she be able to tell them apart or would they all just read as fire for her
For the theoretical Dragon and Oni, Skylor would read them as just "Fire". But since Kai and technically Vulcanell are dedicated "masters" of the Element, their 'Elemental Signatures' would read differently to one another. Vulcanell's would be more like a animalistic wildfire, untamed and rampant, while Kai's would be more subdued yet protective, like a campfire or a cozy fireplace <3
(this process is also eventually analyzed/mimicked by Miranda, and is how Jesse winds up finding Cole during the DotD as mentioned previously)

not sure how much of a loaded lore question this is but how cosmically important/powerful are the 4 main guardians, genesis, the great devourer, wojira, the preeminent and first bourne are in your universe are they god like beings that embody concepts like the fsm and and the overlord or are they just semi immortal magic creatures also sorta unrelated but do you have art of the guardians
Firstbourne/Alpha: Is actually the "mother" of the FSM, and is just a semi-immortal magic creature, but can be perceived as something of a god in the First Realm. Possesses the Essence of Creation and all four Elements, but cannot combine them into the Green Element. While she couldn't wrap her head around the concept of Balance at the time, she still helped her "son" flee the realm after she realized how miserable he was, and always believed he would return in some form.
The Omega: Is actually the "father" of the FSM, and is also just a semi-immortal magic creature, but can be perceived as something of a god in the First Realm. Wielder of the Essence of Destruction and user of Dark Magic (which, as we know via Garmadon and Mystake, enhances inherent Oni traits). When his "son" fled the Realm, he sent the three Oni Warlords to hunt after him, though Mystake found him first, long after he had turned the Realm of the Endless Sea into Ninjago. Having her heart changed by him and seeing the light of maintaining balance, she in turn killed the other two warlords and left the evidence of the Oni's presence in the realm sealed in a temple within Primeval's Eye.
The FSM: Only inherited the Essences of Creation/Destruction from his "parents", which came together as the Essence of Neutralization (or, the Golden Power), giving him to ability to Master Build/Break. Forced to flee from his home realm due to ensuing war over his powers, the FSM had to learn to harness the Elements from other sources, that being the Guardians found within other realms. From there, and after settling in Ninjago, he experimented with the Core Elements, discovering the Derivative Elements and causing the Green Element to manifest within him as well. Only seen a equivalent to a god as he truly has/had no equal, until...
The Overlord: Was manifested directly by the cosmos to balance out the FSM's otherwise peerless existence. Not exactly a "god" either, but is absolutely on par with the FSM himself, although he has the fatal flaw of only being able to exist when a wielder of the Green Element/Golden Essence does. When the FSM realized this, despite his and Genesis' attempts to seal the Overlord away for good two thousand-some years ago, he wound up giving up his life, in an attempt to cut his Element from the compass and thus prevent the Overlord from ever threatening his realm again. This almost worked, except his grandson was eventually born with the perfect genetic makeup to wield the Element/Essence for himself anyway...leading to the Overlord stirring again to beckon to Garmadon amongst other things. The Overlord's initial motivations are to wipe out the wielder of the Green Element/Golden Essence, even at the expense of himself, but after being defeated by Lloyd (and company) twice, he shifts his goals into erasing the Balance itself so he can extinguish Lloyd yet continue to persist for himself.
The Four Main Guardians: As the FSM ran off to establish a new home where he could live in peace, he came across four wielders of the Core Elements that weren't Dragons—Ruamoko, Eirlys, Tawhiri, and Vulcanell (also semi-immortal but very magic creatures). He befriended them all during his temporary stay in their home realms, and came to master the Four Core Elements, which he then went onto channel into the Four Golden Weapons when he forged them at the Golden Peaks. But when the Overlord reared his ugly head in Ninjago, the FSM summoned his old friends to his aid in the resulting battle, and with their four elements combined as one...
Dragon Genesis / The Great Devourer: ...the four Guardians manifested a Guardian of the Green Element, and one for its opposite of Golden Essence. The golden-eyed, green serpent became known as a snake to eventually be called The Great Devourer, while the green-eyed, golden serpent became known as a dragon called Genesis, who became the FSM's personal dragon. Together, the Devourer helped the FSM split Ninjago in two with destructive force despite her small size, while Genesis kept the Overlord trapped on the sinking half of the island, creating an opportunity for the FSM to seal the Overlord away (although Genesis sealed themself too in the process). The Devourer, after the battle, became the sole Guardian of Central, up until she bit the Master of Destruction, in which her venom reacted badly to Garmadon's Oni traits, while Garmadon's essence invoked a restless and destructive appetite within her that could never be satiated, especially without her other half to keep her in check.
As for what's up with Genesis now, well, that's a pretty big spoiler :P (And I know I said that Genesis came from the First Realm in the Compass post but I lied aka changed stuff around. It's been a while since I wrote that post snksnksnk)
Wojira: Long before Time Had a Name, and long before Ninjago was even a thought, the Storm Spirit Wojira soared through the waves and the winds of the Realm of the Endless Sea. Though she was the sole Guardian of what little lands there were (known as the Aquatic Archipelago in today's times), she did less "guarding" and more "causing chaos" creating turbulent turmoil for the denizens that did live there. With the Realm of the Endless Sea being the FSM's last stop during his quest through the realms, he worked with Nyad to quell the beast's reign, and then went on to forge the Golden Weapons at the Golden Peaks and from there create the island of Ninjago to live upon. And, it was witnessing a Master of Water in action that gave the FSM the realization that there were more elements than just the Core Four, pushing him to begin his experiments to begin with. Wojira, meanwhile, has been left in her deep sleep for all this time, but legends lost to time tell that she will return to reclaim all that was once hers...
The Preeminent: ngl she's a little bit complicated since at two separate points she is a realm and also persists within one, BUT eldritch horror is a suitable title for her so we're going with that for now call me back after Season 4

guardian questions was there any reason you choose chima, the never-Realm, djinnjago and the realm of madness to be where the 4 main guardians come from do the guardians home realms have legends about them how did each guardian become connected to their element since ruamoko is from chima is he technically a gorilla legend best and would he have a connection to that tribe is the reason the realm of madness looks the way it does because of vulcanell can genesis realm travel like a regular dragon and can he breath out an element like regular dragons which lloyd dragon does genesis look the closest to ultra, golden, his elemental, his core dragon or golden ultra how did the devourer guard all of central if it was the size of a garden snake while also having no powers how did she help the fsm divide ninjago did she boost his power so they could do that was she bigger during the overlord battle or was she always small until she bit garmadon if jesse had a guardian what animal would it be
was there any reason you choose chima, the never-Realm, djinnjago and the realm of madness to be where the 4 main guardians come from -> aesthetics, mostly
do the guardians home realms have legends about them -> yes, except for Vulcanell + Realm of Madness...but after DR kinda revealed that there ARE actually sentient creatures living in/from that realm, I may have to tweak that a bit. Either way, this gets discussed in Season 5 if not Post-S4.
How did each guardian become connected to their element -> Gets discussed in Post-S4 (and if things go according to plan, is a plot point!)
Since ruamoko is from chima is he technically a gorilla legend best and would he have a connection to that tribe -> Yeeees
is the reason the realm of madness looks the way it does because of vulcanell -> ...Partially (it's the result of an old fight b/w an Oni invasion and Vulcanell, actually)
can genesis realm travel like a regular dragon -> yes, but with limitation
And can he breathe out an element like regular dragons -> gold breath, I suppose, though it doesn't actually have any elemental/essence aspects
which lloyd dragon does genesis look the closest to ultra, golden, his elemental, his core dragon or golden ultra -> Genesis is the Golden Dragon. Ultra, Golden Ultra, and the Elemental Dragon are different entities that are still utilized later down the line, however.
how did the devourer guard all of central if it was the size of a garden snake while also having no powers -> Hey don't judge a Guardian by it's size! Eirlys is just a slightly larger wolf, after all ;P That being said, she mostly accompanied the FSM around from problem to problem, hence why she'd been in the gardens of the Monastery when Garmadon was bit. She then ran off after that, which is why Mystake headed off to hunt her down afterwards.
how did she help the fsm divide ninjago did she boost his power so they could do that -> yes, actually. She is not just the "Guardian of Green", but also representative of the Destructive half of the FSM's powers. Her presence definitely helped enhance his abilities (similar to how the Guardians helped the Core Four during their Great Devourer fight)
was she bigger during the overlord battle or was she always small until she bit garmadon -> she was always small(ish) until she bit Garmadon. Biting Garmadon is what gave her the insatiable appetite to begin with, and from there that's what caused her to start growing uncontrollably
if jesse had a guardian what animal would it be -> Either a rabbit (cuz magic) or a butterfly (cuz of the "surprising metamorphosis"), but those are kinda common picks for ocs, sooo...maybe an axolotl to spice things up. Plus they're usually pink!

So the core 4 guardians live where their weapon was hidden right but why do Eirlys, Vulcanell and Tawhiri live in temples of their elements but why does Ruamoko live in the caves of despair was wu unable to hide the scythe in the heart of the mountain can Ruamoko even access the heart of the mountain and for the uroboros guardians the devourer lived in the monastery since its the closest thing to a temple of the green element (in the light island at least) and epsilon will presumably live with lloyd in the bounty and later the monastery but where will genesis live after he's freed and is there a wind temple since wojira is technically sleeping in the water temple (its not called that but it basically is)
Earth Temple is under Shintaro protection, and Vangelis obviously wasn't just going to let anyone march into *his* mountain willy nilly (even if they are a child of a god). So, Wu chose somewhere else. And it's much more convenient for Ruamoko to get in and out of the caves than it is to crawl out from under a mountain, but he could access the heart of the mountain if he wanted to tho
Genesis, after freedom, roams around Central in its intended role as protector (although Lloyd can call them up when needed). Was gonna say it makes pitstops at the monastery BUT I forgot the monastery stayed burned down for ten seasons straight can you believe that—
Epsilon will definitely live with Lloyd, just like GD lived with FSM~
I like to think there's a temple for every element, actually :V

What realms are the guardians from? I can’t remember if this has been asked before, but are there smaller guardians for the derivative elements?
Vulcanell: Realm of Madness
Eirlys: Never-Realm
Ruamoko: Chima
Tawhiri: Djinnjago
Genesis was originally going to be from the First Realm, but lore with the Devourer got changed during S1 so now you’re gonna have to wait for S2 to get the full story there *finger guns*
There is not smaller Guardians for the Derivative Elements, though whether or not there are creatures out in the sixteen realms that do possess some semblance of these elements remains to be seen. Really, the main Guardians are only Guardians because the FSM personally appointed them to be for Ninjago.

Questions! does Kai's opinion shape Lloyd's opinion of Garmadon a bit? We know Lloyd is pretty attached to Kai.
Is Kais Birthday fic still going to happen or is it put on hold? No rush or pressure I love all your works!
We once heard that Jay had a short crush on someone else and I think I only just realized that Kai was implied?! I always thought it was Chen😂 so how did this crush start? Since Kai was one of the kids who was mean to Jay.
Are there any major or small parts you would want to change in your story? If so why?
Sorry to bother!
1. I wouldn’t say Kai specifically is a direct cause for Lloyd’s change in opinion on Garmadon, but he does have a lot of influence on him.
2. It’s actually basically finished; I just need to polish some scenes and do some more editing…but at the rate I’m going it just might be Kai’s birthday again by the time I get it to my liking. XD I keep changing the middle part haha
3. It was indeed implied to be Kai lmao; before Kai started hanging with Chen, Jay was essentially as immediately smitten with Kai as he is/was with Nya. But then Kai fell into the bad crowd, roughed up Jay, and the feelings started to fade. But it is partly why he was stunned out of his mind (and terrified) when Kai rescued him from Chen in the pilots. Now, I wonder if Kai ever figures any of this out…………
4. From what I’ve written so far? Probably would tweak the first fic so Jesse actually does show up during the Nya/Vulcanell evacuation, and fix the progression of Chapter 11 because it still haunts meeee. As for the second fic, I’d make Olivia as prominent as I originally planned, and there’s also a few teeny extra details/events with Lloyd I would’ve liked to include, but what we have is a lot already, and there’ll be time for it in the future~
