Annoys me to no end when people act like Sensei Garm was somehow the truest form of Garmadon that he'll inevitably return to if he wants to be a good person. For starters, as far as we know, he's not even part human, so why would his truest form be his human one? He's clearly comfortable with his oni/part oni self, and there's nothing wrong with that.

When I say I don't want Sensei Garm back, I don't mean I think he should never try to be more active in Lloyd's life or that he should never try teaching again or hell, that he should never try being in a relationship with Misako again. I mean that the obsession with his human form, the version of him that was so clearly trying to be someone he wasn't, trying to fit himself into a mold of "goodness" that just didn't suit him, is weird and uncomfortable to me. Sensei Garm hated himself, it's so blatantly obvious, and while that certainly makes him interesting, it doesn't make for a good ending to a character arc.

Garmadon is not inherently incapable of being a father, a husband, or a sensei, but he was trying to take on those roles when he wasn't ready. He'd spent a lifetime fighting the evil in his veins and the second it was gone he was just expected to know how to be good. So naturally it didn't go very well. People criticize Lloyd's description of his father to Harumi in season 8, ask why he talked only about the time he was evil instead of the brief period where he was good. But it makes sense for Lloyd to have complicated feelings about his father, even before his resurrection when things went to shit, does it not? Yeah the love was there, but so was the strain, the distance, the abandonment, the multiple attempts on his and his friends' lives. A couple years of being on the same team doesn't necessarily make up for that.

Crystalized Garmadon wasn't ready for those things either, but the difference is he knew that, and he was working towards being ready someday. He was doing a parenthood practice round with Christofern, in hopes he could gain the skills to try and be Lloyd's father again. He wasn't in a relationship, but he was learning to better interact and connect with other people through Vinny. He was improving, however slowly.

If we ever do see some version of Sensei Garmadon again, I want it to be a natural progression of where Garm was at last we saw him. I want him to be ready for that role, and to take it on in a way that feels authentic to who he's become. He can't force himself to shy away from his destructive nature, we've seen more than once that his vows of peace don't last long. But he can probably learn to channel it in more helpful ways. The times Sensei Garmadon was at his best were the times he wasn't trying as hard to be serious, the times he teased Lloyd or let himself have a little violence and destruction, as a treat. I think it's entirely possible for him to achieve a functional balance of chaos and order, and I think a lot of that is precisely because of who he became after his resurrection. He's not ashamed of any side of himself, and that lets him harness that power in ways Lloyd can't because he's too scared of who he is.

Idk exactly where I was going with this, I just think I've maybe been a little harsh on the "I want Sensei Garmadon back" people. But a couple stances I'm still firm on: 1) there is no "good half" or "dragon half" or even just "other half" of Garmadon trapped in the Departed Realm or wandering the merged lands, and 2) if Garmadon comes back, it would be a disservice to his character to have him assume a human form, and if he does, they better have a damn good reason for it.

Don't mess with his brother...

Survivalshipping is funny and amazing and i love it but yknow what would make it even funnier? If, on top of Garmadon dating Vinny, Misako ends up dating, like, Gayle Gossip. Completely independently of him, like neither Misako nor Garmadon are aware of the other's new relationship. So then when they both get invited as the plus-one to like an NGTV News company dinner or something, theyre both just kinda staring at each other like -

Meanwhile Lloyd is just kinda dying in the background. He thought his family drama would end with his dads evil corpse disowning him and adopting a plant instead, but nope! Now hes gotta deal with whatever the hell this is

Okay, so..

You have one day. Spread it around before it's too late

One last headcanon for the final of my weekend, sorry Y'all.

Yk that huge fucking open wound in his bloody torso, yk, the exposed ribs bones and that shit? Yeah well that shit didn't heal, it's so funking sensitive and painful for him and he doesn't even notice it until he just nearly brushes it with his arm when doing stuff.

Its icky and when/if he were to shower it would just be purple blood washing away. My man needs a doctor or to fucking sow that shit up with more skin idk :^

Anyway, have a great week and thanks you for reading :]

Okay. I k ow there's, like, 3 of you. (Maybe ome more I missed) who seem adamant about the Lloyd plush [I haven't seen anyone act like this for christofern] so assuming Lloyd plush isn't winning, I have made a compromise.

Christofern will be used for my digital release of the image while "Lloyd plush" will be used for my own painted canvas I made for me. BEHOLD:

Truth is I gor bored of waiting for the poll to end and drew Lloyd and Garmadon on my canvas. Don't worry, Christofern enjoyers- you will have your boy still.

This goes out for them:
