I need another day of the departed episode but Lloyd just lights a lantern for his dad while staring at resurrected Garmadon

Lloyd: [lights lantern]

Garmadon: Who is that for?

Lloyd, without breaking eye contact: You.

Garmadon: I am not dead. Not anymore, at least.

Lloyd: You are to me.

How did hellspawn react to Lloyd Oni form?

She's just...frozen. There's no way that thing attacking the Overlord is her dad even though she just saw him turn into it, right?

Sure, she's seen him angry before. She's seen him frustrated — she's seen him annoyed on several occasions. But she's never once seen the rage. Not from him. That's never been him.

Yet, it currently is now. And it's... quite a sight.

She ends up seeing it again after crystalized— apparently, one of her grandfather's awkward attempts to mend things with her dad just happens to be helping him further explore and control his Oni side. If Lloyd had his way he'd pull himself as far as possible from that part of himself and never think of it again, but Wu makes him do it with a "Face your fear before it faces you", a.k.a another dose of hated wisdom no one asked for.

In the end, he's standing in the courtyard with the father who made the fucked move of faking his death, and is now letting him help him.

And of course, there just has to be a whole crowd secretly watching even though he'd very much like it if they minded their own businesses but in his experience, nothing ever goes his way.

At some point, Garmadon voices his curious thoughts of whether hellspawn has an Oni form. Lloyd adamantly told him there's no way in hell he's dragging her into this and Garmadon kept quiet...for now.

One night, Lloyd got really violent—apparently Lord G pissed him off so horribly just to get him to turn into an Oni and as a result, he ended up destroying most of the courtyard while attacking Garmadon. His friends tried to step in to get him under control but that didn't work—nothing worked until hellspawn called him fearfully causing him to suddenly stop what he was doing and look at her. Realizing she's genuinely afraid of him, Lloyd turns back.

But as time passed, Lloyd started getting more in control of his Oni form to the point he has no problem whatsoever with walking around the monastery in it. Oni are a LOT more overprotective over their young—which is annoying to hellspawn but his fur and horns are nice.

HHHHH I CANT PICK JUST ONE OF UR WIPS BUT UHM- An Underworldly Visit????????

You're the second person who's asked me about this one 🤣. Not that I'm complaining tho.

It's an unfinished fic written from pre-pilot Garmadon's pov (after he was banished, of course) and it's just him having a seemingly normal day in the Underworld only for a portal to suddenly open up and spit out two unconscious strangers at his feet.

One of them is none other than our resident Green Ninja — who Garmadon suspects is a student his brother recruited and sent to the Underworld to challenge him, while the other one is a girl around the Green Ninja's age with the most bleached pinned up hair he's ever seen in his life.

And on top of that, there's also something else lying on the ground; an Oni Mask.

So Garm does the obvious. He snaps at the Skulkin to shove these two in a cage and takes the mask for himself to examine it — it's definitely an Oni mask, alright, but how the heck did these two have it?

Some time passes, and he receives news that one of the prisoners has awakened. Hearing this, Garm wastes no time making his way to the Underworld dungeons, and sees the conscious one is none other than the Green Ninja.

Upon seeing him, Lloyd's eyes go wide. Garm is highly confused at this, and just when he is about to make a sarcastic remark about trespassing, Lloyd calls him Father. That completely takes the King of Shadows by surprise, but it doesn't last long, because the next thing that happens is that Garmadon immediately slaps him.

Garm then starts snarling at him for stooping low enough to masquerade as his son, because 1) he hasn't been banished long enough for him to suddenly have an almost adult son and 2) last time he checked, Lloyd had red eyes, not green. It's only then that Lloyd realizes that he time-traveled.

Unfortunately, when he starts asking Garm what year it is, Garm's only thought is that this ninja's screwing with him — which really pisses off our Dark Lord, by the way. After a while, Lloyd starts getting frustrated himself and Harumi wakes up. Garm's just about to snark something at her as well but goes silent once he sees her reaction to him. She looks excited, as though she's just met her idol. Lloyd gets really irritated seeing this and these two get into an argument with Garmadon not understanding anything.

Inside the cage, Lloyd's basically just putting all the blame on Harumi by accusingly saying that she definitely did something with the mask, and now it's her fault his own father doesn't want to believe he's his son. Harumi's just unfazed at this — because technically, she got to meet Garmadon. This infuriates Lloyd even more, and soon, there's nothing other than yelling coming from the cage.

This goes on until Garm himself steps in and barks at them both to stop. The two go silent — which is an absolute relief to Garmadon's eardrums (who can blame him?). Then, he starts asking who they are, and why they have the mask. Lloyd opens his mouth to once again say he's his son only for Harumi to cut him off by saying who she is.

...and I've got nothing else to add after that. 😅

This one is one of those time-travel fics I promised I would chuck in the No Parties To Crash So Why Not The Past series — but obviously, there's only one fic currently in that thing — so yeah, this one's still depressingly unfinished at that moment.

Not to be THAT person

But Harumi's backstory was clearly written by someone who did not watch the very first season of Ninjago

She claims that when she was a child she was a fan of the Ninja, she had their toys and everything

She said that when the Great Devourer came, the ninja failed to do their jobs, and Garmadon stepped in

Meanwhile (in season 1)

During the attack of the Great Devourer no one knew of the existence of the ninja

In fact

It was during that attack that they became known, that's when they were seen for the first time through the news

And it wasn't until season 5 that they became famous, had their own toys, and made appearances on TV

Furthermore

The phrase "Ninja Never Quit" was not a public thing until Zane said it at the very end of season 3

Harumi's obsession with Garmadon makes sense, but her hatred of the Ninja, especially Lloyd (who, during season 1, was barely participating in the fight due to still being a child), makes absolutely no sense to me

And that loophole could have been SO easily avoided, if Harumi's backstory had just been about idolizing Garmadon because of what he did, instead of trying to make it personal

It would have been perfect if Harumi's hate towards Lloyd had been just because he purified Garmadon, or because he released Pythor, who released the Great Devourer, who killed her parents

But nooooo

It needed to be complicated

I'm sorry for rambling but it just bothers me so much

I don't really like Harumi, but her backstory is so confusing that i needed to point it out

My biggest problem with Ninjago’s writing is how meaningless death and sacrifice are.

The first major character death is Zane’s sacrifice, which is still cited as one of the saddest Ninjago moments, because it was expected that he had died at that moment and the audience doesn’t go into the sacrifice the idea of him coming back. Even afterwards, there’s no strong indication that he’s going to be completely remade and rejoin the ninja team— he lives on, but differently.

Next season, Zane is remade and rejoins the team. The idea of nindroids coming back from the dead is introduced to the audience and the stakes of life-threatening situations are removed for Zane— as long as technology exists, he can be remade.

At the end of Possession, Morro sacrifices himself. This “death” (really his second death) is portrayed as final and irreversible. The quote about Wu only being able to save those who want to be saved seals it: Morro is going and he doesn’t want to come back.

Morro is brought back from the dead for Day of the Departed.

Also, Cole is made into a ghost, which is initially portrayed as something permanent, but Day of the Departed makes what reads like a few quick excuses and undoes it. Between Morro and Cole, it is demonstrated that death is not permanent for ghosts.

At the end of Possession, Garmadon sinks with the Preeminent. He passes on his leadership, lessons, and robes to Lloyd and they sail away. Lloyd goes on to honour his father’s memory and become the leader Ninjago needs.

Garmadon is brought back by Harumi, just as Lloyd has moved on. He demonstrates that death is not permanent for Oni.

In Skybound, Nya is killed, but Jay’s wish undoes the events of the season brings her back to life.

When Cole falls from the Bounty in March of the Oni, he somehow defies the properties of the Oni cloud and returns to the ninja. The show doesn’t even elaborate on that.

Lloyd is crushed in the battle at the end of March of the Oni and meets the FSM, who brings him back.

Prime Empire deaths are reversed at the end of the season.

Harumi, Vangelis, and Aspheera are clearly defeated and Harumi’s “death” was read as heavily implied.

They return, as well as Garmadon, for Crystallised.

Nya sacrifices herself and turns, irreversibly, into the ocean in Seabound. She also returns in her normal form for Crystallised.

Overall, the way the series repeatedly refuses to make character death and character sacrifice meaningful and give these things real, appropriately far-reaching consequences creates a mindset of “oh, this character is dying. They’ll be back.” and makes it difficult to convey the full emotional impact of a beloved major character giving their life in the pursuit of their goals because there’s a heavy precedent of characters almost immediately having their death reversed. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that keeping something like this up will get boring after a few seasons (I acknowledge that Ninjago is ultimately just 22-minute advertisements for Lego toys, but I think I can still care about the plot).

It’s also not just that the characters are immediately brought back, it’s that their death has absolutely no effect on the plot moving forward other than “Ninjago wasn’t destroyed last season”. Sure, Zane is silver sometimes and Cole briefly had a scar, but the characters don’t mention that they literally died (or equivalent), it has no psychological effects*, it doesn’t lead into the next season’s plot points, and it doesn’t affect the narrative at all. Each season that was resolved with a character sacrifice or each arc that ended in a character death could very easily have been resolved any other way without significantly altering the plot in the long run.

*I acknowledge that Ninjago is for kids, but if Ninjago can have fantasy violence, it can have fantasy consequences of violence. I fully believe that there is a way to discuss mental health in an age-appropriate way if a writer wants to put in the effort.

There’s another post to be made about how Ninjago handles side characters’ achievements in this exact same way.

What does the public thinks of little hellspawn after her existence is reveled?

Also did the ninja explain everything at the start to nip every future problems in the bud or did they lied about where she came for?

Is she meme'd in amy way maybe or something?

no words can explain how much I love this rn :D

So the idea is that the public finds out about her some time before the beginning of Skybound — when she's about 2. And since this is also during the time the ninja were chucked into as many interviews as possible, the team gets these type of questions a lot. A.K.A; every single blasted time.

It also doesn't help that the number one theory these interviewers have is a teenage pregnancy.

Gayle Gossip: So Mr Garmadon, (insert shocked pikachu face on Lloyd and all the other ninja), what do you think of the current... widespread interest surrounding the identity of the mother of your child?

Lloyd starts choking: W-Wha—

Kai spits out his water at Jay's face : Are you fucking kidding me?

Gayle Gossip ignores him : Also, a great number of your fans have theorized that your daughter was conceived with none other than the Master of Form — whom you have begun a relationship with ever since the Tournament of Elements. What are your thoughts on that speculation, Mr Garmadon?

Nya (groans) : Oh hell no.

Lloyd, panicking : What the heck is it with you and the 'Mr Garmadon' thing, again?!

Gayle Gossip: My apologies. I did not realize that your father's surname was still a rather sensitive topic.

Lloyd stares at her in shock : That's not tru—

Gayle Gossip (coughs) : Now back to our question. Is the current Master of Form truly the mother of your daughter?

Cole looks at her in disbelief : Excuse me, but does she even look like her to you?

Gayle Gossip : I do not recall asking you the question, Earth Ninja.

Lloyd then raises up a hand, finally fed up : Actually, I made her.

Gayle Gossip blinks in surprise : Why...of course. But surely you did not do such a thing alone, Mr Garmado—

Lloyd cuts her off : No. I mean I made her. As in I made made her. *looks at the others for help but gets none* Uh... It's a long story, really.

Gayle Gossip:

Lloyd:

The ninja:

Then, about literally three seconds later,

Gayle Gossip, pretends as though she actually understands: I see...but who is the mother?

And she is memed. A reporter managed to get a picture of her while she was being held by Lloyd and sticking two of her fingers up his nose. The thing is, both of them are middle fingers, so it really looks something like: fuck you for not putting me down for a nap — it's not my fault you just had to go check out the latest Starfarer comic and couldn't find a competent babysitter. And the caption of the meme is literally 'Your honor, I have every right to choose violence' , which is kinda just how the average day looks like for Lloyd.

Headcannons for the Hellspawn AU

The Kid

Basically just like Lloyd. Pale blonde hair, red eyes. Kinda has her dad's fangs.

Has a sweet tooth even worse than Lloyd's and Cole's. Lloyd used to give in to her demands until Zane knocked some sense into him about why not to give too much sugar in children.

Of all the ninja and other than her dad, Cole's her favorite. Just look at his interactions with little Wu and you'll see why.

As a toddler, she was a mischievous little runt, and once when lloyd was trying to take something from her, she bit him. Yes, she bit the guy who GAVE her the fangs.

She drove Lloyd crazy when she was an infant. Greenie was literally about to burst into tears when Sensei G noticed one night and decided to help him. In the end, Sensei G had two kids to console. One was his crying grandchild, and the other was his stressed out son.

Her first word wasn't papa or dada. It was sugar. Lloyd still hasn't forgiven her for that, but the others find it hilarious, considering that he'd once said he couldn't love anything more than candy.

Once, she got her hands on Lloyd's sword because of amazing parenting. Yeah...just thank the fsm that Kai was there before she could get other ideas.

But on another occasion, she managed to get her hands on Nya's knives by sneaking into her room on the bounty. The first thing she did when she toddled out was chase a shrieking Jay while holding them. My poor man was hysterical.

Because of her father's request, she was kept out of the spotlight all her life. The media didn't know Lloyd had a kid until after Stiix. And yup, that just means the fan girl craze in S6 was even worse.

She used Montrositea on a plant during Wu's Teas. And it also went after Jay.

Lloyd

Poor bean suffered some minor hair loss in S3-pre S5. Half of it was because his kid kept pulling it while the other half, was actually the result of him often pulling at it in frustration at how hard it is to raise a mini version of himself.

But don't worry, he's fine now. (Kai just threatened to kill him if he even dared to touch his hair for no reason, and Pixal recommended some other ways to help him calm down)

At first, he was really hesitant to let her ride with him on his dragon because of the fear of her falling off. However, when he saw Cole give her the ride she'd been asking for quite a while and nothing happened, he finally stopped being paranoid. (It totally wasn't because he was jealous of Cole)

Funnily and sadly enough, the first bedtime story Lloyd ever read to her was Jack the Rabbit — a.k.a, the book Wu read to him in Season 1 in Never Trust A Snake — a.k.a the one about not trusting snakes. Well to be fair, she could've also inherited his brain cells and stupidity and do the same thing his nine-year-old self did so.....yeah, this is completely warranted.

He sews his kid her own clothes when he has the time — we all saw his sewing skills in that Darkley's episode — he's good at it, guys.

Sometimes, he wonders if there will be a day she'll inherit his element and he'll lose his powers. Not that he's being selfish — he's just worried about how he's going to continue being a ninja without his powers. He had a kid young so he's going to lose his powers young. That's kind of a tough pill to swallow, especially considering how he was at the beginning of S9.

He often thinks that he's the worst choice of a parent but despite that, he still tries his best. Even if he knows he's still trying to figure out things.

Nya

Hellspawn usually calls her Aunt Ni, because when she was younger, "NI-YA" was a lot harder to pronounce. So Ni just stuck.

She's the best aunt — who also won't hesitate to reprimand her little brother's offspring when necessary. And give Lloyd a piece of her mind for enabling her on some occasions too — which are a lot of occasions, actually.

Nya loves dolling her up, you know? Helping her do her hair, buying her clothes etc. And she teaches Lloyd different styles to do it himself when she has the chance (cuz this dude was panicking the entire time of not knowing how tf to do hair)

She taught hellspawn swimming when she was really young. Kai thought she was trying to kill her lol.

Also, she constantly loves cheekily comparing how raising S1 Lloyd was to helping to raise his hellspawn. Lloyd's daughter is a little better behaved than the 'lil terror Lloyd was, so she guesses somebody must be doing a good job, then.

Kai

Kai often gives Lloyd some tips about childcare since he practically raised Nya himself.

He told his honorary niece about the time Lloyd had a wannabe overlord phase and demanded candy from an entire village, so Lloyd put green dye in his hair gel.

Ever since he made Lloyd a sword, hellspawn's been pleading for him to make her one. Jay always begs Kai to not do it each time (well to be fair, the poor guy's still traumatized from that one game of tag. we can't blame him)

She spends the most time with kai during winter because that's when this man feels like a fucking furnace. Like, she'll just lie in his arms with no intentions of leaving them until the season's over and not even Lloyd can take her from him.

Jay

Jay, being the Master of Lightning, was the one who comforted her when she was afraid of storms.

Just like Lloyd, I believe this man has a candy stash...and one day when she couldn't figure out where her dad hid his candy after she found it the night before, she decided to go after Jay's.

Jay and Nya teamed up to build her a little toy for Christmas once. She loved it so much that she threw it at Lloyd to show it to him and it hit him squarely on the face. (ouch) But the toy survived though!

Cole

The favourite uncle, self-explanatory.

Won't hesitate to pick her up when she asks. She really likes sitting on his shoulders since it's higher up than the others.

She actually likes it when Cole sings, and the Glow Worm song is her favorite. Jay's just convinced that the song had damaged her hearing at some point which is probably why her ears love Cole's singing. Oh well.

When Cole was a ghost, she was sad that he couldn't hug her like he used to but she eventually got used to it. She then ended up loving running into Cole and phasing through him whenever she could and since Cole was a ghost for more than a whole year, it was hard to make her remember the fact that running through him right now wasn't such a good idea.

Zane

Zane taught Lloyd some tricks such as the one where parents blend vegetables into smoothies so kids don't taste it. Lloyd's first thought was that Zane had definitely done this before when he'd been younger, while Cole remains horrified to this day that his favorite cake contains beetroot.

Zane often helps her with her homework when she doesn't understand something.

During summer, she does the same thing she did with Kai during winter. And Nya's the only one who can get her off him, mostly because hellspawn can just ask her to splash her instead.

Hiii do you know when chap 3 of so you came back is gonna release? The story is really interesting 😊

Aaaaaa, sorry for the late reply! I didn't see that someone had asked me something.

And to answer your question, I'm planning to post somewhere around next week - cuz right now, the chapter's at 2k words and I haven't reached the point where I'd like to end it yet.

Btw, I'm glad your enjoying the fic so far. That means a lot to me.
