Nice try, Garmy, nice try… ;D

Why is everything forgiven to one soul? Destiny will punish everyone in any way!

Tell me! Why does no one pay attention to literature? Yes, I know it's unnecessary, but! This is our story! Writers have put their soul into their creations, so let's thank them the same. Remember what you read when you were young. Remember those tales that your parents told you for the night.

Remember something bright in this world of darkness! 😞

@dinogaby @ninjakitten1699 Am I the only one who sees Koko as a broken girl? Per possible she lost all her relatives in the war? Where do we know from? Maybe she's lost hope for life. Imagine that your thread of hope is in someone else's clawed hands. What would you do? Or maybe someone's life is at stake? You will do nothing but start praying. Pray for salvation! Pray for hope! 🙏

What an interesting picture.

Who wanted real characters?

Get. 😁

I advise you to see. 🤣😂🤘

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.

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 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.

What would have happen if Hellspawn was on the bounty at the end of S8?

Well, first of all, this would make Lloyd despise Harumi (and maybe even Garmadon) a lot more because it's partially her fault hellspawn & the guys just got crushed by the Colossus. The beginning of season 9 would also be well...more depressing, I guess. Nya, Misako & the others know deep down that nothing they ever say will console Lloyd — she was his kid, for FSM's sake. She was his kid. And now, he's lost her along with his brothers and uncle all because he was too trusting.

And as for hellspawn, she's having the time of her life, aside from missing her dad. (Poor Cole tho — he's got two kids to babysit) I think she would've gotten along really well with Faith and child Wu, but she'll be a little disappointed when teenage Wu comes into the picture because he barely pays any attention to her. (Not that he hates her, he's just too focused on finding Faith and the dragon armor, that's all) I also think that Iron Baron would've scared the shit out of her (to be fair, that guy's fucking creepy) and other than that, she finds Kai's S9 stress episodes absolutely hilarious, which is odd considering Zane had tried to get Kai to calm down because he was worried Kai was scaring her.

Back to what's going on in Ninjago, I'd say Lloyd and the others remain in their depressed states until they find out the guys are alive when they see the Traveller's Tea at the bounty's wreckage. Hunted then ends as it originally did.

also ‘you could stay’ ?

Time-travel fic where after Misako leaves her young son at Darkley's Boarding School, she meets a familiar-looking teenager on the way back. The teen looks startled upon seeing her — as though they've actually met before, which is odd, because Misako can swear she's never even once seen him.

After a while, the teen then introduces himself as Montgomery — which surprises Misako, because that's her last name. So they talk a bit, and Montgomery tells her a made-up story I haven't decided on yet, but it's just to make it seem as though he has nowhere to go. This causes Misako to say he can stay with her for a few days, and Montgomery agrees.

Misako then takes him to her home, all while noticing how interested Montgomery seems to be in where she's been living with her son after Garmadon got banished. During his stay there, Misako spends most of her time researching the prophecy, desperate to find a way for it to just be words on a scroll. One day as she does so, Montgomery notices a photograph of her with a young child that looks a lot like him, and asks whether that's her son.

Misako is very startled at the question, and hesitantly nods. Montgomery then comments that he hasn't seen any children around here. Misako replies that he's at school, and that it's a boarding one. Montgomery merely raises an eyebrow at her, before pointing out that the boy looks too young to be on his own. Inwardly, Misako can't help but agree with that, yet she still calmly states that he'll manage. At that, Montgomery goes quiet, which surprises her. However, Misako does not question it, and merely goes back to her research.

As the days pass, she notices how interested Montgomery is in Lloyd, and how often the teenager tries to question her about her son. He asks Misako all sorts of things, like whether she's writing to him and when she's planning to take him home or visit him. Misako manages to dodge the questions though, saying it's only been a few days since she's sent him there and he needs to learn to be on his own instead of having her coddle him. Another thing she notices is how much Montgomery resembles her husband, but she brushes the detail off as just a coincidence. And speaking of Garmadon, Montgomery also asks a lot about her husband as well.

Eventually, the day Montgomery's supposed to leave arrives and he does so without even trying to stay any longer. After he leaves, Misako shifts all her attention to her research to find a way to save both her husband and son, and this goes on for a while until one day when she....

....gets a call from Darkley's headmaster telling her that the son of Garmadon is missing.

Misako goes frantic. How could he have disappeared? It hadn't even been a week since she'd left him for FSM's sake!

However, some time later, there's a knock on her door. Startled, she opens it, only to see little Lloyd standing there with no one else in sight, and no luggage with him other than a stuffed toy which she doesn't even remember getting him. Upon seeing her, little Lloyd starts crying and reaching for her, telling her about how mean the other kids and even the teachers had been to him.

It nearly slips her mind to ask him how he even got back home in the first place, but eventually she does. And that's when her heart drops.

The fic ends with Misako deciding to officially take little Lloyd out from the school and bring him back home, promising to never leave him again. How could she have even done that, she thinks. How had that even crossed her mind?

What are Misako’s brothers like?

Oh man,,, I have actually personified Misako's older brother and her one younger brother and youngest sister only... but here's what they're like

Most of Misako's brothers have been, unfortunately, conditioned to be woman haters. It extends to the only girl in the family, since Montgomery keeps on having wives to 'protect' the family name. All of them, even Misako's younger siblings, had children before her, and while her own family line is severed, Lloyd has a bunch of cousins in the central part of Ninjago.

So, here they are

-

Itsuki (壱城)

Since Montgomery means king of the mountain, his means 'one castle'

Oldest of the entire Montgomery family, three years older than Misako.

He and Misako are the only fully biological siblings, since their mother died during his younger sister's birth

Itsuki never forgave her for this, because... he's being petty and he's copying his dad.

He's the one that looks and acts mature, but he's definitely not emotionally developed

He has a resting poker face, no matter how many times his dad tries to get him to smile in photos.

He actually respects Misako and her passion, but just like all the rest, cut her out of the family completely and never brought her up again.

He's the smartest of all the siblings, barring Misako (she's arguably a lot smarter than he is) and the scholar of the family. His siblings didn't like him for his so called haughty nature, but that's probably because he was

He didn't marry, because according to him, he didn't want girls to suffer the fate of being forced into marriage with him. He also has a hatred for children.

Maelstrom

Second son, younger than Misako for one year

The opposite of Itsuki; a lot more extroverted, less emotionally constipated, and very hands-on with his involvement.

Prefers Misako and her adventurous nature more to Itsuki's quieter and anti-social one. That is, until Montgomery started to teach him Women Bad

Is actually the most tolerant of the brothers, but he does the bare minimum so don't get your hopes up.

Had four children with one wife- after she died he refused to remarry and turned to drinking. It does more harm to his family than good.

He hates Misako after disgracing their family name and leaving her promised husband to another man. In drunken times, his kids could hear him swearing about her.

In times when he's sober, he actually does a good job managing the household and having rationally-inclined thoughts

Ayumi 彩美

Her name means vivid beauty, because I like to think Misako's kanji also had a beauty character in it.

The youngest of the Montgomery family, she was just a year old when Misako left them, which was like in her early twenties.

She's a little less 'smart' than Misako, but that's more like she lacks the spacial awareness around her surroundings. She's a very nice kid, though, and she's just a really kind and nurturing person.

So that the Misako controversy won't ever happen again, Montgomery and his third wife arranged Ayumi with her childhood friend, Haneul Ahn, immediately when they started taking a liking to each other. TAGOMJTR readers if ur reading this u already know what's happening

She and Haneul married at 16, and immediately had their firstborn girl at 17. She was pressured by her father and her own husband to have another Heir, and this is when her marriage with Haneul started to break

She's basically Misako except she hadn't escaped her situation

I'll probably draw them at some given time, especially Ayumi and Haneul.

Wilted... 👀👀👀

A.k.a an attempt at writing dysfunctional Lloyd & Misako content 🤣.

This takes place some time after Prime Empire. The ninja begin noticing that Lloyd's been acting a little off for the past few days, and he's a lot more distant than usual. Nya immediately assumes that he's hiding the fact he's sick or something but when she checks on him, she soon realizes that he isn't. Kai and Cole try talking to him as well, but Lloyd keeps assuring them that he's fine—that he's just tired and every other unbelievable excuse in the book. Jay suggests to the others that the kid might've had a secret break up that none of them know about, while Zane & Pixal decide to do some detective work.

Eventually, it spirals into Lloyd actually losing control of his powers — something that really takes the team by surprise because this hasn't happened ever since Lloyd was literally a child. (It's kind of like what happened to Nya in the beginning of Seabound, but just replace Water with Energy) That means flickering lights, breaking bulbs, exploding toasters, blowing up transformers and Lloyd himself being more exhausted than ever because most of his power is unintentionally being used in excess. It's around this time everyone realizes that there's something seriously wrong.

Of course, when they ask green bean about it, Lloyd keeps denying it and says that maybe it's because he hasn't been training with his powers that much recently. Everyone around him knows that's pure bull, because 1) how on Earth does an Elemental Master who spent years mastering their element suddenly forget how to control it, and 2) it's Lloyd talking. Even Wu's already had enough with his nephew at this point, and sternly tells him to stop playing games with the team because this was clearly serious. There's even a moment when Wu loses his patience by threatening to strip him of his element with Chronosteel if he doesn't explain at all, but Lloyd still doesn't tell him.

However, the ninja really have to do something about his powers blowing up every nearest electrical appliance so they make the decision to put a vengestone bracelet around his wrist that he himself can't remove. This pisses Lloyd off so much, but at the end of the day, it was definitely necessary. And considering that green bean's still not saying anything, it's gonna be a long time until they'll take it off because they can't solve his issue right now.

So this goes on for a while until Nya suggests something that just might work; finding Neuro. (Honestly, you would've thought this would be the first thing they would've thought off) The ninja and Wu waste no time doing this, and soon, they find out what's going on.

Needless to say, it's something that is definitely the most unexpected, but at the same time, it's not surprising.

So apparently Lloyd has some unresolved abandonment issues with Misako which have recently worsened for reasons they do not know yet. And yeah...she isn't here right now either.

Kai & the others aren't really happy with Misako after finding out about this, while Wu is kind of in denial because he thinks Misako's been quite present after reuniting with Lloyd in the museum. It takes him a while to realize that the answer is actually... no, just no.

So unbeknownst to Lloyd, the ninja & Wu start trying to get hold of Misako to get her to come back to the monastery. That's easier said than done by the way, but after a while, they manage to do it. They don't tell her about what they found out from Neuro though.

As for Lloyd, he's like really surprised that his mother finally came home after like...(2 seasons) And he's also not stupid either. They all know — that's why she's here — it's as simple as that. The ninja don't admit it when Lloyd confronts them, which frustrates him. Thankfully, Wu interrupts the argument and tells Lloyd to make the most out of what his friends have done for him by finding Misako, and leaves. Lloyd utterly hates that.

Then the next few days are literally just the ninja trying to set up Lloyd with his mother. (Imagine your friends setting you up despite your protests, but instead of a date, it's bonding time with your parent) This goes on for like multiple chapters until Lloyd's powers go back to normal, and him and Misako have a relationship as close as the one he had with Garmadon.

And that's literally the wip.

Gee Garmadon and Koko, how come your mom lets you have two La-loyds?

Modifying figures is fun.  These are all ‘prototypes’, though, I’ve gotta fix things here and there but the idea’s working so have a preview.

Cole is now a single father of three and they’re all the same child.

Made a baby La-loyd figure (and then had a family photo shoot).  This one’s a ‘prototype’ of sorts.  His head and body structure are made from perler beads, his face is the same one I drew for my plush, and the cloth is just cloth.

Fun fact: perler beads are a perfect fit for lego headgear.
