How were the ninja managing to take care of little hellspawn throughout the seasons? Did her existence changed certain events or did the seasons plot stay the same?
Also little hellspawn hugging her daddy when he's sad after the oni trilogy and being adorable comforting him
P.S: i can't think about any right now but how about names that start with L to match her dad? maybe search some on google?
Hmmmm. Well, I would say MOST of the events stayed the same with her existence. Not all, but MOST. I'll answer until Season 10 first.
So she would have to be born during Season 3, before Lloyd lost his Golden Power. There are two options here. One is that it was an ordinary day at Garmadon's monastery and Lloyd just happened to be experimenting a little with his powers, while the other one is that she was born while Lloyd and Garm were on the run from the Overlord. It's also Lloyd's fault for not listening to his dad about being careful of overusing his powers. Take your pick.
Although I personally love chaos * inserts maniacal laughter *, I'll be using the first one for this post. (I might write another one about the second option if there's a lot of interest in it though, but right now that's kinda hard to work with)
Rebooted
She's like six months old here, and Misako takes the kid while Lloyd and Sensei G are on the run from the Overlord. Garmadon still isn't quite happy with the fact his son just spawned a kid at the age he currently is, and Lloyd on the other hand is still a disaster when it comes to children. They somehow manage to work it out though. She's also present at Zane's funeral.
Tournament of Elements
The season where our new dad literally leaves his kid sleeping in his dad's monastery to compete in a noodle guy's tournament. (Sigh) She's about a year old here. And eventually, her grandad leaves too but his is actually an attempt to knock some sense into her father, but even he doesn't come back either so...
Possession
About fifteen months old.
While helping Wu set up the tea shop, Lloyd left her alone long enough for her to get her hands on Montrositea and use it on a plant.
While being possessed, Morro would often torment Lloyd by showing him nightmarish visions of him hurting her whenever he tried to fight back. On one occasion, he had a nightmare that he caused her death while being possessed, and without even a single ounce of control to stop it from happening.
Skybound
Around 2. I like to think that Lloyd would be the type of person to keep their kid out of the spotlight ya know?Considering how much the press had been on him after the Final Battle. And, I also like to think that the fact that the Green Ninja even had a kid was leaked shortly after Stiix. Just imagine the fan girls scene in the first episode of Skybound... but ten times worse.
While they were in jail, the kid got taken by CPS. After they broke out, Lloyd found her and gave her to Dareth in the middle of the night after literally breaking into the dude's apartment. Since the events of Skybound were erased, this no longer happened, and no one remembers this.
Day of the Departed
3 years old. She goes with Misako & Lloyd to light a lantern for Garmadon in the Corridor of Elders. She also thought Pythor was actually an overgrown tape worm, well maybe that's what he was in the Great Devourer's belly.
Morro felt really guilty for what he did to Lloyd while possessing him. So much so that the guy even apologized.
Hands of Time
Still 3. (I can't do much with this season because I didn't really finish it) But let's just say, Krux thought her eyes were a bit creepy.
Sons of Garmadon
Well, I think I've already explained this one before.
But if you're interested in some pre SOG info : The kid started to notice her dad's voice pitching deeper but whenever she points that out, Lloyd just laughs. It's only until the team comments about it in The Mask of Deception does he actually realize she was right. During the year the team is searching for Wu, he lives in the city with her and Pixal—who's a lifesaver whenever he gets a bit clueless on things about children's development. She's about 4 here by the way.
Bonus; she fell really ill at some point during the year they were searching for Wu and Lloyd took her to Mystake, hence explaining Mystake's familiarity with Lloyd in Season 8. (This was before his voice completely settled btw)
Hunted
The kid stays with Lloyd in Ninjago, and does her best to cheer her dad up after the death of his friends. It goes to a point where Lloyd actually snaps at her, something which makes him feel utterly terrible moments later. (It's stress from everything bruh. His friends just died and the city's under the rule of his tyrannical resurrected father. Give him a BREAK)
And do you remember that scene where Misako and some of the EMs got arrested by the SOG? Little hellspawn was one of them and this really sent Lloyd and Nya into fucking panic mode for the most of the season.
However, she was actually unharmed. Emperor Garmadon basically took one look at her and decided he kind of liked this kid, I guess? (* insert Harumi seething in the corner *) Kind of like Maleficent and young Aurora vibes, if you get what I mean.
The season ended like it originally did though. The Resistance members in Kryptarium broke out, and Garmadon was arrested.
March of the Oni
Nya bought her a green kimono while shopping for her own blue one. Hellspawn also caught Jay practicing his proposal to Nya but decided to keep it to herself.
Garmadon also requested Lloyd bring her while visiting him, but Lloyd decided not to and went alone. Garmadon wasn't quite pleased.
When the ninja heard about the dark cloud thing happening in Ninjago City, Lloyd told his kid to stay in the monastery, but of course—like a certain demon child that once snuck on a Serpentine bus—she snuck aboard the bounty. Lloyd almost lost his shit when he found out.
After Garmadon was released from the prison, he tried to get closer to the young hellspawn while on the bounty, getting to know her etc. Lloyd wasn't happy with that, and told him off immediately, having very little trust in this version of his father.
Hellspawn helped Garmadon to understand humanity after Lloyd yelled at him about survival in The Fall. He doesn't quite understand everything, but he gets a somewhat picture of what it means. Of what there's more to life than survival means.
When it was time for the final fight in the monastery, Lloyd suddenly picked her up and handed her to Misako despite her protests & attempts to bite him.
At the end of the season, Garmadon doesn't immediately leave. Instead, he attempts to stay behind as his four-armed resurrected self merely to remain close with hellspawn (maybe it's also cuz she begged him not to leave when he wanted to lol). But what I'm saying is, the only reason this guy is still in the monastery is hellspawn, not Lloyd, not Wu, not Misako. Just this tiny young girl who looks a lot like a blonde boy he faintly remembers. But Lloyd here believes his father is up to something and (I really hate to say this, but for the sake of Crystalized's events I have to 😭), but Lloyd basically just yells at Garmadon to leave, and he does. Poor guy's trust issues are damn severe.
And hmmmm, names starting with L it is.
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
I think i broke the kai ai
You know your an old Ninjago fan when you remember...
When the original 4 ninja had to use the golden weapons to use their elements
When Nya was "just Kai's sister"
Thought Lloyd was just the silly villian of the week
When finding out Zane is a nindroid was a big twist
When everyone thought Kai was going to be the green ninja
⬆and Lloyd being the green ninja was a major twist
When you thought Zane's death was permanent
When the serpentine were villains
Jaya wasn't canon
When Wu went by "Sensei" instead of "Master"
When Cole did the Triple Tiger Sashay for the first time
When the Overload was their toughest enemy
Zane's funny switch
When Lloyd had a bowl cut
When Garmadon wasn't a deadbeat dad
Reblog with your favorite early season moment
'i can fix him' 'i can make him worse' well i can pick him up like this.
Inspired by thay one MP100 post but Trans Lloyd meeting Garmadon for the first time in *checks watch* since he was a baby and Garm is like "Hello my daughter..." and Lloyd just blurts out "Dad, I'm a boy." And Garmadon, who was 1) dead 2)then stuck in the realm of madness and 3) not, like, at his peak mental state is like oh no. Did I forget my kids gender? No it's fine I can save this and just goes "I knew that."
Guess who's back from the dead with a new hyperfixation?
Would hellspawn eventually go to school or is she homeschooled?
If she is how will her first day go?
How would the fam react?
How would lloyd feel?
Needless to say, at first, that wasn't even a possibility...because Lloyd here had absolutely no plans of doing such a thing.
After having missed out on 90% of his education and being sent to a school for future overlords, Lloyd didn't really see the need for school. I mean, it wasn't like anyone would even use anything they'd learned from there either.
But actually, his excuses are pure bull because what's actually going on is that this idiot still has Darkley's trauma.
Which is why it wasn't until Nya raised the question to Lloyd one night during dinner — at some point after MoTo — that it finally crossed everyone else's mind that this already-five-year-old-fetus should already be in a classroom.
Well Lloyd immediately pushed for her to be homeschooled because he's not planning on doing what his mother did, but of course that didn't work out. Nya and the others weren't planning on holding back. "She should be making friends, Lloyd— no, Dareth and us don't count, I mean friends her age, and NO you idiot, you are definitely not her friend!"
So yeah, she actually goes to kindergarten one day after a bunch of protests from her aunts and uncles — and after a LOT of research about the school by Zane & Pixal. (at Lloyd's insistence)
Her first day is basically like this :
Everything is fine until the two of them enter the building, and it's time for Lloyd to leave. Hellspawn starts begging him to stay and then Lloyd gets Darkley's flashbacks. For a moment, it's just like that day again — Misako finally letting go of his hand, Misako murmuring promises that she'll come back for him, him starting to feel that something was off, him being told again and again over the years that she hadn't wanted him.
But in the end, he manages to do it. Even though he ends up feeling like a massive jerk for the next few hours until it's time to pick her up. And surprisingly, she had a pretty good day.
Lloyd and Lord G are my coping mechanism. I'm also on FFNet and AO3 And yeah, I can't draw.
