Curate, connect, and discover
Your Hellspawn au is pretty fun so I wanted to ask a couple of questions
1. How did Lloyd creating her actually go? Did he realize what he was doing in the middle of the process and couldn’t stop it? Was he just fooling around and suddenly heard a baby cry somewhere? I really want to know his initial reaction there
2. Was Hellspawn aboard the bounty when the merge began and was she separated from Lloyd for awhile? I really wanna know how they each handled that if so
1. I guess you could say he was fooling around.
It all started one day when he had a break during his tour and was spending it in Sensei G's new monastery. Basically, he had the thought that if his god grandfather managed to create anything using the same confusing essence that he recently won in the lottery, then he could too, right? And with Garmadon now occupied as a new teacher and Misako often aiding him or studying new scrolls, this idiot realized he needed something to do.
It started small. He managed to make a leaf after several hours and later on succeeded having a flower on his palm. But the problem was both of these were things he hadn't planned to create. All he did was think he wanted to make something and try to focus on that only to end up with a completely different object—unlike the fsm who'd had centuries to master his abilities before fathering two sons.
Lloyd's sessions went on for a few more days until one afternoon when he was concentrating on trying to create a kitten to bring with him when he resumed his tour. Considering his experience so far with all this, he didn't have very high expectations but hey, it was worth a try right? Besides, if he ended up with some other pet, it could still be a great companion. (accepting awards on the other side of the country does get lonely after all)
Slowly, he could feel a strange weight gradually getting heavier in his arms, so he figured he was doing something right and didn't stop. Well surprise, surprise it wasn't a kitten.
The next thing he knew, he was looking at a newborn. Perfectly healthy, ten fingers and ten toes—a living, breathing, baby.
Then, said baby began to cry and he immediately panicked.
Misako started calling him for lunch not long after. He took a long time to show up, and his face was completely bloodless.
2. During the merge, she was on the monastery porch just playing with her toys. And yes, she was separated from Lloyd for about five years, I guess. (That's how long I assume the time-skip between the merge and dragons rising is) Lloyd was a mess for most of that time — thank fsm that Kai was at least with him. For hellspawn though, I'm gonna need to save that elaboration for when part 2 of dragons rising comes out. I need to get a full picture of what kind of world the merge is making everyone deal with here.
What are Lloyd and Hellspawn's ages throughout the seasons?
So Lloyd had her about six months before s3, so I headcannon he'd just turned physically 15 then (mentally 11 but in the end, he makes it work)
Rebooted
Lloyd: 15 Hellspawn: 6 months of chaos (& Lloyd almost in tears from stress)
Tournament of Elements
Lloyd: 16 Hellspawn: 13 months (can walk & say two other words than sugar now)
Possession
Lloyd: 16 Hellspawn: 15 months and wondering where the heck her dad went.
Skybound
Lloyd: 17 Hellspawn: A 2 year old menance
Hands of Time
Lloyd: 18 Hellspawn: 3 year old begging to be taught spinjitzu but being told she's too young
Sons of Garmadon, Hunted, MoTo
Lloyd: 19 Hellspawn: 4 year old who wants her dad to stop feeling sad
The Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu & Prime Empire
Lloyd: 20 Hellspawn: 5 (kindergarten is getting fun)
Master of the Mountain
Lloyd: 21 Hellspawn: 6 year old who never expected to end up in an underground whirlpool with a princess, uncle cole & her granduncle. Papa u lie. U said it was a vacation.
The Island & Seabound
Lloyd: 22 Hellspawn: 7 (what happened to aunt nya?)
Crystalized
Lloyd: 23 Hellspawn: 8 year old who wants harumi sent realms away from her dad & left to die
Dragons Rising
Lloyd: 28 (he's somehow very old in her eyes) Hellspawn: 13 year old who won't stop asking her dad how he burned tea after finding out from sora
Does little hellspawn name her plushies and make little pretend advantures and tea parties and games with them? (At least until she befriended luke at kindergarten)
Since I imagine that although she's in a very loving environment it could still get boring and even lonely being the only young child and that sometimes the gang and co get to busy to play with them being the protectors of the realm.
You're right on that one.
With four uncles and two aunts, she has a LOT of plushies. Her favorite one is the stuffed dragon that used to belong to her dad but the other Mr Cuddlywomp toy Jay got her comes in at second place. (To Lloyd's brief disappointment, she named his dragon Wing and named the Cuddlywomp toy Mrs Cuddlywomp)
And of course, she loves them to death so she decides they deserve a tea party.
One time, she attempted to use Wu's big teapot for one of her tea parties and yeah... that didn't end well. It wasn't even filled with tea and already pretty heavy—that's already Wu's arm workout other than whacking ninja with a bamboo staff lol, and she's like three. Long story short; she almost broke it because Wu came in to save his friend just in time.
From that day on, Wu realized how bored and lonely she was getting while everyone else was on missions so he guesses he can kinda do something about it.
In the end, she still gets the chance to throw some tea parties but this time she invites Wu along with her toys. It's like their little bonding activity while her dad and everyone else handle some criminal. And as long as he gets to sip tea with someone who won't burn or spit it out like his hopeless students, Wu isn't complaining.
What usually do Hellspawn when his dad suffer the consequences of his adventures?
If he's injured or just are like, sad or then Morro with nightmares
She does something specific?
I love your au!
For nightmares or when he's sad, she has this thing where she snuggles up to him and pats his chin, saying absolutely nothing. And it kind of works. Lloyd's eyes widen for a while until he eventually relaxes. It really grounds him. It reminds him that he's here and not wherever his dreams convinced he was.
She did just that when he was moping around about Harumi and when she realized he wasn't feeling the greatest after banishing her grandpa in s4.
But with Morro, it usually doesn't help much. He has all these dreams about his possession causing him to hurt everyone he cares about so he'd like to keep himself as far away from his offspring as possible for the first hour since waking up from that. Healing takes a while.
When he's hurt and in forced bed rest, she usually ends up sitting by him and just staring because Aunt Pixal & Uncle Zane are like "it's not advisable to jostle anything at the moment." She eventually got the idea to make him a get well soon card and set to work.
One time, they ran out of paper so she decided to scribble a 'get better soon' on his face when he was sleeping. She meant well but yeah Pixal was not amused. When Lloyd woke up, he spent ten minutes wondering why the heck everyone else was cackling.
Glad you like the AU!

Legend says the First Spinjitzu Master never had a wife to father his two sons, having created them with the gold running through his veins.
As his unwilling successor, Lloyd sometimes wishes he'd known that piece of information sooner.
Or; Lloyd accidentally creates a kid before s3 and ends up balancing both the life of a ninja and raises a mini him through the seasons.
How did lloyd and hellspawn did on the time skip after season (and by that i mean how bad)
For a long time—and especially during those first few weeks before being reunited with Kai, Lloyd was a total mess.
Imagine this, he was already hysterical in season 9 when she was taken along with the elemental masters because of Harumi and that was only for days. The time-skip after the merge is like, 5 years. Poor guy. Not only did he just lose everyone he grew up with and knew, he also lost his kid.
At first, he stepped out of the monastery for a bit to find everyone, but later returned home alone. Then he tried fixing Wu's destroyed scrolls to make some sense of them but that didn't work. Nothing seemed to work.
By the time Kai found him — you heard that right, Kai found him — green boy was a depressed mess who looked like he hadn't slept in weeks or seen anyone. He's definitely lost weight since Kai's last seen him, and we're not looking at a Morro situation.
So they talk. Kai tries to console his baby brother but it's not helping much. Lloyd spends most of his time either in Wu's library or in his room staring at a damaged stuffed dragon. At this point, Kai's the only reason he's a functioning adult and tries to get him to eat and shower but yeah, one day Kai had enough.
He drags Lloyd out of bed one morning after greenie mumbles he's not hungry and forcefully sits him down to get some sense into him, which is funny because that's usually Lloyd's job.
Yeah, she's gone. She's not here in this monastery right now with her dolls or playing tag with Luke after school—but he has to remember that she needs to have someone to come back to. They all do. Not taking care of himself like this isn't helping anyone. So could he please pull himself togethe—
I'm still waiting until part 2 to decide where the heck hellspawn ended up though. All I can say is that, it took a long time for her to finally understand what on earth was going on and why she's no longer in the monastery with everyone. Man, she's only 8. Only 8 fucking years old and all alone, what have I done. I'll elaborate more on her after we really understand dragons rising.
So uh, I have both good news and bad news.
The good news is, the hellspawn au is finally getting its first multi-chaptered fic. I'm planning on doing one per season following the spawning (it's still weird using that word lol even a year later) of our dear hellspawn. And since I started this AU last year with a tumblr post of Season 8, I guess it's only fair that's the season for the first fic as well.
So, you're getting some chapters about Lloyd's sub-par-but-trying-his-best parenting skills, a chaotic mini him, the other ninja trying their best to be helpful & Harumi being the walking red flag no one wants to acknowledge but her dad is head over heels for.
The bad news is uh...(you're all gonna hate me for this 😭) her name isn't starting with L.
Hello namelysane! I wanted to ask what age was hellspawn when the merge happened? Btw this is for fanart reasons, cus I wanna draw my oc (Lydia garmadon, yes, I’m yellow rose lady and the one with the dad Lloyd au similar to yours) with hellspawn.
I also wanted to ask if this is not to bothersome, how would hellspawn react to a lil’sister like Lydia who is pretty bratty and very greedy with Lloyd attention? (Cus ya’know, she was raise with only her dad and her dad’s full attention, she’s gonna be pretty territorial over him and his attention? Ya’know what I mean???)
Anyways, I’m just asking so I can draw ideas for what it would be like if they were in the same universe. If you don’t like it that’s okay, hellspawn is your oc and I can respect and back off of drawing her with my oc if you want!
It’s up to you and what you’ll consent to your oc being used for (in this case an what if au merge)
Just to ask because I’m curious and think it would be a pretty cool idea, what If hellspawn turns out to have golden ninja powers but like, full time? The powers don’t disappear or go away cus she was made form them?? Idk , I’m just blurting out ideas now.
If you wanna check out my au you can go to my blog where I post about the au: @yellow-rose-lady :)
Don't worry, it's not bothersome! Thanks for asking me beforehand!
Before the Merge, she's like 8. During Dragons Rising she'd be about thirteen.
And oh yes, she'd be really territorial. For all this time, it's been just her, after all. And don't worry, you're free to draw her how you want.
But about the golden power thing though, I'm really sorry, I've already picked an element for her 😭 but thanks for the suggestion though.
Check your messages, it's there 🤫. Consider it as my thanks for drawing her.
Where is hellspawn jawing dragon rising?
As much as I'd like to keep her with Lloyd throughout the entire time he was alone, it's uh...*sweats nervously*...it's not gonna happen.
(Fuck, this feels like commiting a crime, but I need to keep things realistic)
Does Lloyd deserve to be happy during his time alone? Well, yes. Is he going to be? Um, no.
:(
...I'm so, sorry green bean.
So she gets separated from Lloyd during the Merge and he hasn't been the same since, just staring at the damaged stuffed dragon in his hands as though that's gonna tell him where she is. Kai does his best to be there for him but there's only so much he can do. In the end, he makes a promise to himself to bring her and everyone else back to his baby brother and leaves with the bounty.
What's the time skip between crystalized and dragons rising again? 5 years? If that's actually confirmed, that would make her a teenager. FSM, how time flies.
And poor Lloyd. He knows he's missed it.
Every time he looks at Arin and Sora, he ends up thinking of her—especially when he sees Sora. He initially maintains a cheery teacher persona around his two students but it slips when Sora finds a photograph of a blonde haired little girl who's with Lloyd somewhere in the monastery. She calls Arin to check it out, and Arin—the ever obsessed fan boy tells her everything.
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.
How many people at school or in general tried to befriend hellspawn just so they could get to meet the ninja or have the ability to boast about being connected to them through hellspawn? Cause, like, there is no way this won't ever happen.
A lot, unfortunately.
They'd ask all sorts of questions like what the inside of the monastery looks like and whether she can teach them Spinjitzu. (Well she can't. Blame Lloyd for saying she's too young for anything) Cue them later asking what the ninja are really like and whether Kai's hair is actually real. Does Zane need to be charged before battle? Is Nya still with Jay? What does Cole do in his spare time? Why are Lloyd's eyebrows suddenly so different? Is Wu really that old? Are they allowed to come to the monastery?
You'd think getting that amount of attention and interest would be fun for someone that young but it's the opposite actually. It's great at first but starts sucking after a while. No one really cares to ask her about her after she told them she doesn't have Lloyd's powers or anything like that. A conversation with those kids almost always involves someone asking something about her dad or Uncle Zane or Uncle Jay and she gets bored. Speaking of which, what's so interesting about her dad, anyway? He picks his nose, he burns tea—
And then there's this boy who basically worships Kai and all hellspawn's thinking in her head is the last time there was a fire in the courtyard and her Aunt Ni looked like she wanted to murder someone. He says he really wants to meet Kai someday cuz he's cool, and definitely should've been the Green Ninja instead of Lloyd who barely deserved it. As soon as hellspawn heard that she was like: what did u say.
To spare you the details, she got into some *cough* minor trouble — which Lloyd freaked out at because when he was at Darkley's, he was the one being hit and the last thing he wants is for her to end up like one of Gene's goons at the age of only fIVE.
So naturally, he spent at least twenty minutes giving her a whole lecture about why she should never hit others and how wrong it is, causing her to sulk and tell him what the heck happened.
Silence.
Lloyd: He's right.
Hellspawn, blinks: What?
Lloyd: Kai should've been the Green Ninja.
Hellspawn: But—
Lloyd, shrugs: Well he trained, he worked hard — he wanted it a lot more than anyone. I was just some dumb kid that ended up with it. *forces a smile* Destiny's weird, don't you think?
Hellspawn: ...
Later, she finds Kai who's in the middle of sharpening his sword and asks him about it.
Hellspawn bites her lip: Do you still wish it was you?
Uncle Kai, stares at her incredulously: Of course. I could've FIXED Lloyd's whole life—
Hi.Since hellspawn is created the same way spinjitsu brothers are,shouldn't she age slower and/or be semi-immortal?Are Oni interested in her,because she looks human, has Oni blood,but also Dragon aura or smth bc she is created by the golden power?Also,how does she take Nya's departure in Seabound?
I would say she ages like Lloyd did but is semi-immortal just like him — well, the latter is what he hopes. (He's not planning on outliving her because of his fucked up heritage) He's still learning what traits his powers managed to give her that day, but genetically, she's all Lloyd.
So far, the only actual Oni she's ever spent time with was Mystake — and that wasn't even for very long or under good circumstances. All she got from that tea addict during S9 was that 'she's a curious case' — whatever that means. Lloyd doesn't get it either but he's too exhausted being the emotionally drained character in Hunted to ask.
Her quarter demon grandfather smelled that she was part Oni in Hunted at some point while holding her captive, but she didn't understand what the heck was going on other than this was her Grandpa who she hadn't seen in...a while. And he now looked weird too.
She didn't interact with any full-blooded Oni in MoTo, unfortunately. :(
She has some dragon traits too though — the frequent chewing on Lloyd's hair and any attempt to eat any object within distance is the dragon side speaking. And Lloyd remembers having the urge to purr while holding her when she was a baby—and actually doing it on one occasion. Now, he's not sure if that was from the Oni or Dragon...or just him. Sensei G never said anything about doing it when he was younger. And Lloyd never blurted out the question either—in his defense, he thought it was weird at that time.
And in not Sensei G's defense, he was passing by Lloyd's room when it happened so of course he knew what was happening—only, he didn't say anything. Just smiled and remembered the moments a much younger him used to soothe his newborn son that way.
Nya's departure doesn't feel real to hellspawn until after they've had her memorial. That's when it truly sinks in that her Aunt Ni's really gone. It's quite odd for her to think about—Nya's always been so untouchable.
But then she finds out Nya isn't actually dead and just...left. She left but they're holding a memorial. She left but they're acting like she's gone for good and will never come back. They're mourning her.
Well, a while after that she realizes the difference between dead and gone for good. Aunt Ni's still out there but she's never coming back. She can't come back. Whatever she did to save Ninjago won't let her walk through the monastery doors and get everyone to stop being sad. She'll never be in the hangar bay working on something with Aunt Pix & Uncle Zane or hoard all the coffee with Kai. She'll never be in the kitchen helping Jay fix something that's perfectly fine or dance-training with him in the courtyard. She'll never be seen painting Cole's sketches and showing them to him. She'll never firmly tell her dad to get some sleep or sit with him when he can't again.
She'll never be in front of her listening to her talk or take her for another swim. She'll never come back.
She's not coming back.
Hellspawn becomes very quiet in the months after that. Lloyd notices it and has a talk with her even though he knows he isn't fine himself. But all hellspawn does is nod and bite her lip at whatever he says.
How does Hellspawn handle the idea of her dad dating?
Harumi? Horribly. That woman could drown in Great Devourer bile for all she cared. Akita? She's cool. Great temporary therapist for her dad but Lloyd doubts he'll see her again.
But the idea of her dad dating? It's...weird to be honest. Two of her teachers seem like they have a crush on him and she's really hoping he doesn't ever date them. That, and she can never really understand what people see in him. He's just normal???
(Lloyd didn't quite enjoy that comment so Kai used it as an excuse to get him to get more sleep)
Hellspawn would totally ask Lloyd where her mother is especially at a young age. He chokes whenever she asks.
Absolutely, lmao.
It's bad enough that it was her favorite kids show that started the question. And after her young mind pieced together that a 'mother' was basically a female version of someone who took care of you & spent time with you like your dad, she wondered who that was to her.
Obviously Misako was too old, and Pixal didn't have a physical form yet so she never really interacted with her often. Only Nya was left, but then she remembered that Nya was Aunt Ni and not Mommy.
So one day while they were all having lunch on the bounty...she decided to ask Lloyd.
And boy was he unprepared for that question.
Eventually, Cole just decided to awkwardly tell her that she's a special case and her dad is literally also her mom—which led to her soon asking why she doesn't call him mommy. Kai cheerfully told her that she could if she wanted to and Lloyd immediately kicked him under the table after that one. Zane suggested that Lloyd just tell her the complete truth and after a "I'd rather get possessed again" and some convincing, Lloyd finally agreed to tell her he made her with his powers.
After somewhat absorbing that, she asked whether she could have a little sibling—no surprise there. The rest of the team spent at least fifteen minutes laughing at the look on Lloyd's face.
Man... having the talk with her one day is definitely gonna be something.
When Lloyd and hellspawn go out do they have to put on disguises? Do they also put on like contacts or something? Does hellspawn love dressing up or does she hate it?
Initially, Lloyd never really saw any need for that because he never once took her out with him after she was made...spawned?
Keep in mind this was after the Final Battle — a.k.a back when Lloyd had to show up to ceremonies all over Ninjago and was busy as heck. On the days when he was on break, he always spent them at Garmadon's monastery and never left because he was desperate for some peace and quiet while trying to take care of her. The furthest he even went with her was just outside the monastery.
And yeah, maybe also because the thought of wearing a disguise didn't cross his mind at the time. Sigh.
(Garmadon, teach your son how to shapeshift. i'm begging you.)
At Zane's funeral, they just passed her off as a distant cousin of Jay's from Edna's side of the family. And then the team split, leaving Lloyd to spend nearly all his time at the monastery during the first few weeks contemplating things to the point he really needed a distraction.
So the only one he was left with was Nya, who was basically like: Put on a hoodie and take her out to the park. The weather's good.
Lloyd: But you guys told kid me i looked terrible with my hood up.
Nya crosses her arms: That was Kai.
Lloyd, sniffs, looking away: Whatever. Still hurts a year later.
Nya, lets out a sigh: Lloyd—
Lloyd: Not happening. It'll make me look like a kidnapper.
Nya looks at him warily: What kind of movies have you been watching, again?
Lloyd pretends he didn't hear her: Or maybe I could grow a moustache.
Nya stares at him: I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.
Lloyd: But I'll look good—
Nya: I'm disowning you.
Lloyd: I was joking!
Nya: Just wear a hat. I'll even buy you one.
And so, Lloyd went with a fedora and green contacts to cover his red eyes & started taking her out more often — with Nya occasionally tagging along. It's mostly just walks in a stroller in which he just pretends to be his kid's older brother who's supposed to be watching her. Overall, it's fun. One day there were old ladies who came up to them commenting on how adorable the baby was, causing Lloyd to be like: there's no way i made this.
And fortunately, she was asleep at that moment, so her eyes didn't give Lloyd away.
When Nya isn't there with him—and it's also one of those days he blames himself for Zane's death, Lloyd finds himself spilling everything to hellspawn and then feeling really bad about it later. His only comfort is that he knows she won't remember this—he really hopes she doesn't.
After s4 and pre s5, Lloyd started getting sick of having to pretend to be his own kid's brother instead of her father so he decided to dress more maturely to look older, even putting on a fake moustache & goatee to complete the look and took her to other places to not be recognized. Kai could no longer see his baby brother anymore & was sad for a week.
But after s5...well that was where the real challenge began.
After the press found out the Green Ninja actually had a child, Lloyd was hysterical. They'd been so careful, so careful and now it was all gone. Great. She's gonna go through the same thing he does now all because she's stuck with him for a dad.
She's only two. Lloyd can't make her wear contacts every time they're out and Zane says that isn't advisable either. And considering he can't keep her isolated on the bounty for the rest of her life, he decided to get some wigs, hats and literally anything else to make her as unrecognizable as possible.
And she hates it.
Well the good thing is, her eyes look more brown from afar instead of red, so there's no need to worry about that. She really despises wigs though. Lloyd eventually decided to just dress her in toddler hoodies — which he made — or cover her face with a blanket after finding that out the hard way.
And before s8 and some time after Lloyd's eye color changed completely, she started taking an interest in green colored contacts just to match him because his eyes weren't red anymore.
Oh this is a horrible idea
What if Kai taught Hellspawn "self-defense" or whatever these kids did to the Kalamaar cut out during the time skip?
No it's a GREAT idea.
It wouldn't happen during the time-skip though but I can see it happening throughout the time between s11 & seabound, when Lloyd isn't looking.
I just think the ninja were estranged from some point after seabound, so during the time-skip to crystalized, hellspawn didn't really see the rest while Lloyd cleaned windows.
And after finding out, Lloyd asked her to put some moves to use the next time they see Dareth. He still remembers the bruise he got when Dareth taught her one of his own.
What is hellspawn's favorite thing to do with each member of her family and her friends?
Lloyd
- Depends on the day, really. It usually alternates between chewing on his hair and burying her face into his neck. But mostly, it's the first one.
- Dragon rides work too, I guess.
Nya
- Swimming — if they ever get a chance to go somewhere. Both of them agree that the hot tub doesn't count, unlike Kai.
- Pranking the rest.
Kai
- Listening to the 'Long Tales of Little Lloyd Garmadon', some of which Kai completely made up to damage his little brother's reputation.
Jay
- (Tragic) Tag
- Smuggling Starfarer comics from Lloyd's room to Jay's because Jay sacrifices some of his candy stash in return.
Cole
- Sitting on his shoulders because it's a lot higher up compared to the others.
- Piggy back rides.
Zane
- When she got older, she started enjoying watching him cook because that's when she gets to debate with him about whether or not that dish even needs vegetables. Somehow, Zane doesn't mind it and finds it amusing and just explains why vegetables are necessary for a healthy diet.
Pixal
- Passing her stuff in the underground base when she has nothing to do.
Do you think Hellspawn and Lloyd have the connection type thing Garm and Lloyd had in S8?
Oh I wish they could. :( But I don't know whether the FSM himself had that kind of link with his two sons or not. Hellspawn and Lloyd having this type of connection would only make sense if his grandfather did too, unfortunately.
If hellspawn ever met Echo, how would they get along?
Echo would be really confused on how her existence is possible and Zane would explain that it's similar to how their father made them.
But yeah, they'd get along.
She'd sit there curiously watching Nya, Jay and Zane repair Echo after being caught spying on them and they'd all talk until Lloyd finally finds her and puts her down for a nap.
She made a get-well-soon card for him after Nya told her he was 'sick' and that's why they were fixing him. Echo's kept it with him ever since.
After finding out that he and Zane are brothers because Dr Julien created him too, she ran to Lloyd asking for a sibling. Lloyd immediately told her NO.
I think it would be funny if after crystallized hellspawn gained some level of respect for harumi but still hated her guts, and especially the idea of her dating her dad. And even after constant reassurance that it ain't gonna happen she still would not take any chances whatsoever
Oh they dosing off kinda close to each other? Cue hellspawn climbing on the couch literally kicking harumi off and snuggling into her dads side and other shit like that.
Everyone thinks its adorable
Also sorry i didnt do the get to know me thing, truth is im too anxious to post things on social media, even starting to comment and send asks took me a while to gather courage to do. But hey, maybe one day
The couch scene is automatically canon—it would be a crime not to put it in considering I can now not remove the image from my head LOL.
But she respects her...a bit. There's a tiny bit of respect for her considering the only reason she died was because she saved a family—but there's none for what she did to or is currently doing to her dad. Her great grandfather forbid there to be.
And hellspawn recruited Luke to help her make Harumi's life as miserable as possible. Kai & Nya know what she's doing but say nothing to Lloyd about it. They love the fun—plus, Harumi deserves it.
Wouldn't it be funny if when hellspawn... well spawned garm/misako called wu and the ninja to try and tell them to come over (and bring baby stuff while their at it) but the situation was so chaotic that the ninja only understood a small part of it and, with the little info they had; concluded that lloyd was turned into a baby?
Takes place sometime before s3.
Don't get him wrong. Cole had always been someone who liked kids.
Just...just not these kids.
"Being a teacher is hard work," Kai complained, plopping down a nearby chair as soon as he could step into the break room. His usually well-gelled hair was beginning to droop miserably. "If my work of art gets another spitball when my back is turned again I swear I'll—"
"Work of art? FSM, who told you that lie?" Nya snorted, only to receive a very nasty glare from her brother at that comment. "That's a mess."
"Those kids are the mess," Kai grumbled, hands reaching up to comb through his hair to find any remaining atrocities. "They're even worse than the baby gremlin version of Lloyd. Can you believe that?"
"You're telling me," Cole rubbed his eyes. "I come in ten minutes late and someone lets Ninjago's most poisonous scorpion walk around the classroom."
"How did they even bring one in, again?" Nya sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose wearily. "Enough said. We need stricter rules."
"As if that'll stop them," Kai huffed, chucking his file across the room. "Keep dreaming."
" 'Educating the future of Ninjago' my butt. Wu definitely hates us."
"Bad day too huh, zaptrap?" Cole winched sympathetically, watching Jay's head dip in a depressed nod as he made a beeline for the freezer.
"We went from saving Ninjago to needing to be saved," Jay stressed, eyes scanning through the contents of the refrigerator before then widening. "Hey. Who took my pudding cup?"
"You had a pudding cup?" Cole blinked, his gaze briefly falling on the empty plastic container in front of him on the table. At that, Jay's eyes locked on it as well. "Um...sorry?" He tried, grimacing at once.
"Bullied by my students, and now bullied by my friends," Jay said miserably, slamming the fridge door shut at once. "This is just great."
"Perfect for a villain arc," Kai said helpfully, only to receive incredulous looks from everyone else in the room. "What? Literature is finally growing on me."
"I can't believe I got stuck with history," Jay groaned, sounding as though he was tempted to bang his head against the table. "Zane's the walking textbook. He should be teaching history."
"Unfortunately, that would leave a vacancy for the science teacher position," Zane replied, walking into the room — weirdly percent timing, Cole thought suspiciously. "I believe Wu does not wish to look elsewhere for a replacement."
"Yeah," Kai rolled his eyes. "So he can continue to pay us like—"
"But Nya could teach science," Jay suggested, looking at her pleadingly. "Right, Nya?"
Nya seemed to contemplate that thought. "I guess I could—"
"See?"
"But you're gonna have to take over math," Nya told him, chewing on the inside of her cheek. "You have to spend the rest of your life hearing those kids talk about how much they hate you and—"
Jay blinked. "Wait, what—"
"Yeah," Nya shrugged. "And then, they start debates with you asking why the heck do we have to learn this—"
"Well that's normal for me," Jay said, and then frowned. "Anyway, why are we forced to learn math, again?"
"I often wonder that myself," Sensei coughed.
All of them nearly jumped at that, not having seen him enter. The old man merely shook his head.
"You five have become less vigilant," he stated exasperatedly, the bottom of his bamboo staff colliding with the floor as he continued to step forward. "Such carelessness could be your downfall."
Kai just stared at him in disbelief. "So is that why those brats keep scheming against me?"
"Probably," Jay suggested, only to earn a scowl in response. "And by the way Sensei, I kinda have a teeny, tiny little request as a teacher—"
"Oh, I've already heard that," Sensei replied, giving him a brief knowing look. "As long as Nya and Zane are alright with this new arrangement, I don't see any reason to refuse you."
"I have no issue with this," Zane chimed in, and Nya nodded in agreement.
"Oh, those kids don't know what's coming, alright," she grinned mischievously. "I can't wait for the experiments—"
It was then when the sound of ringing cut the air.
Cole's eyes immediately fell on the telephone.
"I will get it," Sensei told them, before any of them could bother getting up. Cole felt his eyebrows knit into a frown. Hang on, hadn't the last time that phone had gotten a call been when—
Jay's face was suddenly as pale as a sheet. "Please tell me they aren't going to enroll in another—"
"Hello. This is Darkley's Boarding School For Great Children how may I — brother?" Sensei blinked, sounding genuinely surprised at the fact the former dark lord was calling him at this point of the day. "Is everything alright?"
Cole watched questioningly as the old man's expression suddenly tightened, before then proceeding to take the deepest dive into confusion in the history of Ninjago.
"What do you mean?" Sensei asked incredulously, both of his eyebrows rising high enough to be concealed by the shadow of his straw hat. "Brother, of all the methods you could use to antagonize me—"
"What the heck is going on?" Jay whispered.
"No idea," Cole mouthed, continuing to listen intently with a deeper frown. Had Garmadon sprouted another pair of arms again or something?
Then, suddenly, the old master stilled, his golden eyes far wider than they had ever seen them. The knuckles of the hand holding the phone were visibly white with how tightly he was gripping it.
It was a while until he managed to bring himself to speak once again.
"A baby, Garmadon — what was he thinking—"
"What?" Nya gasped, and Kai's jaw dropped open at once, the hothead looking as though he was about to faint. Even Zane was no different.
What. On Earth. Was Going On.
"He is more like Father than I thought," Sensei lamented miserably, as though he very much regretted that fact.
He, Cole realized, taking note of that detail immediately. That could only mean Sensei was referring to—
"Alright, alright," Sensei sighed, his grip on the phone faltering slightly. "We'll be there, brother."
Then, he placed the telephone back on its holder, pushing it away immediately.
"What was that about, Sensei?" Nya asked.
The old master met her gaze tiredly, appearing as though he regretted hearing the sound of ringing in the first place.
He heaved out a sigh. "Garmadon has called."
Kai shot him a deadpan stare. "Yeah. We could tell—"
"I'm afraid we will need to leave the academy in the care of Dareth until we return," Sensei said, running a hand over his face wearily. "Garmadon requires our presence. As soon as possible."
"Well care to tell us why?" Jay crossed his arms. "And what was that about a baby?"
"You also used the third person pronoun 'he' at the three minute and thirty one second mark of your conversation," Zane pointed out, sounding genuinely curious. "That would most likely mean—"
"—that this is something related to Lloyd," Cole finished, unsurprised that the others had pieced it together too. "Master," he then asked hesitantly. "is Lloyd okay?"
"What the hell is happening?" Kai yelped.
Sensei closed his eyes, raising his head as though to stare at the ceiling in despair. "Dear First Spinjitzu Master."
"I think we broke him," Jay whispered mournfully. For the first time in his life, Cole was forced to agree.
"I believe this will be easier to explain once you have seen it for yourselves," Wu finally admitted, his voice painfully strained. Cole held back a grimace. "In the meantime, gather as many items that can be used to care for an infant as possible—I'm sure Garmadon will greatly appreciate it," he told them, giving them all a weak smile. "Now excuse me, I must go find Dareth."
Jay looked at them all in bewilderment after the old man had turned around and left. "But we don't even have baby stuff—"
"Exactly, so screw it," Kai hissed, something in his eyes now ablaze. "I'm going to head there now and storm the place until I find out what's going on. Who's with me?"
"Me," chorused four other voices without hesitation. After that, Nya suddenly furrowed her brow in concentration.
"I just really don't understand the baby part," she muttered, her forehead creasing as she continued to ponder on that thought. "You know, at first I was convinced that Sensei G and Misako had welcomed a baby — but then, that thing about Lloyd came along."
"Or maybe Lloyd's the baby?" Jay offered.
Cole's mind went blank.
"What?"
"You're kidding me," Kai said, his tone edged in disbelief. "No. There's no way."
"But what if there is?" Jay begged. "I mean, didn't Sensei mention something about Lloyd and the FSM?"
"He is correct," Zane confirmed with a nod. "There was a moment where Sensei expressed regret at their similarities — thus hinting that the current matter at hand is something the First Spinjitzu Master experienced himself."
"And what does Lloyd have that the FSM did, again? Power," Jay said, flailing his arms for emphasis. "We're not talking about just any power here — the golden shit."
"So you're saying Lloyd turned himself into a baby," Nya actually sounded more amused than scandalized at the suggestion. "Actually now that I think about it, that makes sense."
Cole stared at her like she'd just conjured a dragon. "Sense?"
"Yup," she hummed, and then gestured to Kai as though she was showing all of them an artistic masterpiece. "Just look at who's his mentor."
Kai let out a pained groan as all eyes fell on him. "Why is it always me—"
"I had hoped you would have an explanation for that," Zane said dryly. Kai buried his face into his hands.
"My baby brother, here I come," he mumbled, shaking his head.
Wu to Lloyd later : There is something I haven't told you—
Thanks for the ask!
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.
Hellspawn's birthdays throughout the seasons/years?
1st birthday
pre s4
Sensei G's monastery
unfortunately, it wasn't really a good one, because Zane wasn't there — we all know why :( — and the team was pretty much a split up mess. It was fortunate the other three at least made an effort to show up, but it really felt like there was something missing.
Kai bought his honorary niece some baby hair clips — cuz hair is priority — and Lloyd sucks with his own hair, so he's trying to help the kid out.
Nya, on the other hand, was like "I'm gonna turn this kid into a future builder" so she got her some blocks.
Cole and Jay each got her an onesie...the same one. (sigh) They ended up bickering about it during the entire party.
Sensei G and Misako gave her a stuffed dragon that... looks familiar to Lloyd in a way. Wu just nods at Lloyd knowingly.
Meanwhile Lloyd wanted to make her first birthday as special as possible even though he knew she wouldn't remember it so he made her a mini version of his gi. Sadly, it didn't take long for her to grow out of it and that gave Lloyd some grief....well, lots of grief.
2nd birthday
This one was shortly after Stiix
a whole lot better than the first. They celebrated on the bounty
Zane was there (Yay!), and baked the cake. He (and Pixal) also got her some of those sortable shape toys to exercise brainpower. Nya just says it's because no one wants hellspawn to get Lloyd's iq and... Pixal agrees.
Lloyd bought her some finger paints...which she loved so much that she used them on his hair and face. Her excuse was that Unca' Zane had taught her that paper was bad for trees so naturally, she decided to go for another green source.
Jay got her another version of Mister Cuddlywomp, while Cole showed up with a toy piano — his dad's idea, actually. "Introducing kids to music at a young age is a great way to encourage brain development"...(and turn them into musicians, goes unsaid)
Once again, Kai was like "my niece better be stylish and not have little gremlin Lloyd's horrible taste" and got her a leather jacket — toddler size, of course. This guy even brought some sunglasses and a hat. Nya thinks it looks ridiculous.
Meanwhile, Nya came with some bath toys — which she designed herself to be durable enough against the strong waves of the sea. (She's still not over her new Master of Water status)
Misako got her a book full of children's stories — maybe a collection of legends would be more accurate. She's the historian of the family for a reason.
Dareth gave her a mini plushie of himself and she kept pointing out how much the plushie's eyebrows don't even look anything like his real ones.
3rd birthday
some time before Day of the Departed
on the destiny's bounty
Hellspawn wanted to learn airjitzu but that was quickly out of the question — she's too young. And for FSM's sake, she hasn't even learned spinjitzu yet. So that was instantly a no.
So, Misako was like: just do what your father did with you. He didn't listen to me, but you turned out just fine — I still do not understand how you even turned out just fine!
Which was why Lloyd decided to put her on his shoulders and spin around until they were both surrounded by green. Mission accomplished.
But it is only that he realizes that he'd forgotten the fact she'd just eaten some of the cake earlier and has the stomach of a nauseous toddler. Too bad it's too late to do anything. Lloyd ended up needing a shower shortly after that. Jay got a picture :(
4th birthday
pre s8
The apartment Lloyd was stuck living in during the year they were looking for Wu.
Dareth decided that she was already old enough to learn a 'sacred' karate move he personally invented. After learning it, she ran to use it on Lloyd.
Misako couldn't show up because she was too far away, but the others managed to come. Except Nya, but she still joined via face time and sent a parcel.
Lloyd made a cake himself instead of relying on Zane and it actually turned out to be edible. Kai was wondering if they'd entered the apartment of an imposter.
But actually, Skylor helped. So yes, the real Green Ninja has not been kidnapped by aliens. Lloyd can be trusted living on his own. A new invasion isn't coming, So Kai, stop setting chopsticks on fire, Nya can't save your ass—
5th birthday
At the monastery, post MoTo
Unfortunately, there's a reason Garmadon isn't here (I've added it in that post about how the ninja managed to take care of hellspawn)
That morning, Wu finds a strange package left outside, with a note that just says Happy Birthday in messy, familiar handwriting. He knows very well who it's from and opens the package to find a plushie of a plant...an unusual choice from someone like him.
Wu then just lies that it's a gift from a fan and the ninja believe him. So Lloyd lets hellspawn have it.
He ends up despising the gift during Crystalized. 😭
6th birthday
pre s13
celebrated in kindergarten. Which Jay jokes was merely done because Lloyd doesn't want their presence.
But actually, Lloyd does. Because he's getting too many stares and questions from the other kids and he's only doing this because hellspawn wanted to after she saw her classmate do something like this. They celebrated again at the monastery hours later.
And Lloyd gets to meet the boy hellspawn made immediate friends with and finally has confirmation that he's being overprotective over nothing.
Does hellspawn make new friends at school?
Do they go on cute misadventures together?
So far, the idea is that she'll be friends with a boy named Luke, and they'll cause a lot of shenanigans as she ages...and give Lloyd some well-deserved heart attacks (Kai's laughing about karma right now)
One time she and Luke basically just snuck off during a field trip to the zoo and they freed a baby elephant, which made its mother go vicious mode — to this day, Nya is still wondering how the heck did they even do this. I mean...to be fair it isn't as bad as her father releasing tribes of snake people but...really? I can't have even ONE rational person in this family?
And at first when she joined her class, there were a few kids that pointed a lot at her red eyes and found them creepy. Well...Lloyd actually showed them red eyes when he found out and basically just showed them a younger pic of himself to tell them that yeah, the Green Ninja they idolized used to have red eyes too so it doesn't mean that she's the spawn of Satan who eats children for lunch. ( "cries as I remember that she is still called hellspawn" )
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.
Hellspawn au
You know how in the darkly's episode in s2 its implied that lloyd knows how to do needle work and stuff?
You know how clothes for little/baby girls can be annoying?(smaller than boys clothes of the same size, words printed on can be disturbing, always tight, always glittery frilly or pink, bikinis for small girls, pink tax. Youknow all that shit)
So what if lloyd was done with this and started making hellspawn clothes on his own? I think it would be so cute!!!!
YES, AND IT IS CUTE!
And Lloyd once dressed her in his old black hoodie when he found it, even though it was obviously too big. She ended up wearing it again when she got a little older.
Ok, so i know that we already established that hellspawn hates harumi with a burning passion. But i need more than that.
How is their dynamic?
Does harumi still tries to "connect" with her only for her to retort with an impressive amount of sass for a 4yo? Does she think of how when all of this is over she will bash that brat's head into a wall?
Does hellspawn cling to her daddy's leg and give her death glares in every possible situations? Does she try to prevent any "romantic" moment/chemistry between the two?
And after harumi is revealed and the ritual "failed" is she going "I told you so" to literally everyone? Does she try to comfort lloyd saying stuff like; "you can't be sad because of her daddy thats what she want" or "there are far better possible mommies out there" or maybe even "im pretty sure she snores in her sleep anyway"
And lastly will there ever be a situation (maybe in s16?) That suddenly golden blond hair becomes long platinum braids, eye color becomes one she saw in the mirror every day, and even the scared look on her face became suddenly painfully familiar as harumi watched for mere few seconds as the green ninja's daughter image was replaced with her younger self
I have to say...that this is by far, my favorite ask from you.
I think Harumi would still try to connect with her, even though their dynamic is initially , 'seemingly nice princess tries every possible way to make a wary child as comfortable as possible in her presence' — I'm saving most of the sass for s16, when hellspawn's only sees this woman as a psycho.
But for s8, (at first) it's more like she's clinging to Lloyd's leg looking visibly uncomfortable. She knows that something is off, but she can't tell what. The ninja don't see anything wrong, and neither does Lloyd. Maybe she's shy. Or maybe the princess' makeup is scary. That's probably why she's acting like this.
Then in Dead Man's Squall, we get to see the death glares thing, which Lloyd reprimands her for when they're alone. The other ninja think it's cute because it just looks like she's jealous of the attention the princess is getting. And when Lloyd tries to stand beside Harumi in the control room, hellspawn reaches for his hand. She doesn't like it when her father and the Harumi are alone in the same room and FSM does something feel off.
But fortunately, after Dread on Arrival, Lloyd finally apologizes to her for dismissing her suspicions. We get to see some father-daughter comfort after that but it's mostly hellspawn doing the comforting because her dad just got himself some trust issues and a broken heart.
"And lastly, will there ever be a situation (maybe in s16?) That suddenly golden blonde hair becomes long platinum braids, eye color becomes one she saw in the mirror every day, and even the scared look on her face became suddenly painfully familiar as harumi watched for mere seconds as the green ninja's daughter image was replaced with her younger self."
YOUR MIND. OH DAMN, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT
To answer that one, there should be. I hate Harumi's redemption arc in crystalized but it would be nice to see this lol — especially because, now that I think of it, hellspawn does look a lot like Harumi. Even though this woman's prepared to make this girl's dad's life a living hell and throttle his midget, I can see this happening. Maybe these two could get into a situation where Harumi has to choose whether to save this child or let her die. Or maybe the Overlord needs her for something — she was created with Lloyd's Golden Power, you know. Gosh, I love this. Thanks for the idea!
Ok ok here me out...
Hellspawn and vania?
just realized i haven't done anything post S10 yet for this AU. Gotta work on that lol. 🤣
They make an interesting dynamic, if you ask me, and this is mostly because of Lloyd's severe lack of trust in every other princess in existence and, the fact that hellspawn actually likes her. She's got really nice gold hair and seems genuinely nice and funny, doesn't give off suspicious vibes when she interacts with the ninja, seems like a better match for her Uncle Cole than Aunt Cake, and besides, she's going to become Queen someday. Hellspawn also really likes it when Vania gushes enthusiastically about the ninja's previous adventures — cuz it gives her the chance to chime in with some behind the scenes thing that no one but the ninja know.
Lloyd, on the other hand, doesn't like it. Harumi gave him trust issues as a parting gift, so that's that. He remembers everything Harumi put him through, every waving red flag that he had been stupid enough to miss. He remembers the ritual. He remembers the things Harumi also did to his daughter, a literal child. He'd been too blind to protect her back then. He wasn't now though.
So it's like Season 8 in reverse. And it drives Lloyd absolutely crazy.
Hellspawn stays with Vania and Wu while the ninja go to the dungeons to search for Cole and when Cole comes back without the others, you can kinda guess what happens. The whole Vangelis reveal thing happens as it originally did but with a 6 year old being chucked into it. Fun times.
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.
Hellspawn au because i refuse to let it die
In s8 was hellspawn also needed for the ritual?
I imagain so
And if so, how did they get her did the sog took her in the midst of the crabby fight? Maybe even used her to lure lloyd to the bounty to capture him (even tho we know he would have done so anyway)?
Makes you think how much darker it would make everything from the way back to the castle to the ritual itself considering the fact that this poor, tiny, 4-5 year old girl was there for the whole thing, probably scared out of her mind and threatened constantly with her dad and grandma only being able to watch and not able to actually comfort her on top of everything else thats happening and OMG this is some real angst material
...why didn't I think of that? I— I —
And yes, hellspawn was involved in the ritual. It wouldn't make sense if she wasn't involved in it otherwise — she's literally Garmadon's grandchild. I don't know why my brain even forgot that crucial detail.
So timing-wise, she was taken during the giant crab fight — when the crab burst out of the river in the first place. The commotion was enough for Ultra Violet to grab her on Harumi's orders. Kai notices it, and yells at everyone to stop her, which of course, leads to one-brain-celled Lloyd Spinjitzuing his way onto the bounty — which then leads to his inevitable capture. Harumi successfully kills two birds with one stone...everything is going according to plan.
They reach the Palace of Secrets with two hostages. Lloyd begs Harumi to keep the girl out of this but of course, Harumi doesn't give a shit. Lloyd gets put into his cage like he originally does, and Misako is horrified that her granddaughter has been captured as well. So since Harumi's insurance policy only has room for two cages, hellspawn gets put somewhere else; in one of the secret passageways that survived the SOG's attack on the palace. It's a small space with pitch black darkness. Really a one-way ticket to claustrophobia.
Lloyd doesn't shut up for even a second during his stay in his cage, shouting himself hoarse as he demands to know what the hell they've done with her. The same goes for Misako, but of course, Harumi's a sadistic bitch. It doesn't matter to her.
