Wu the type to write cringey love songs and then play them outside your window at 3am lets be real

Wu and Garmadon except Garmadon once tried to mess with Wu when they were younger saying the tickle monster is about to attack him and after Garmadon chased him around for an hour with wiggling fingers and left Wu dying on the ground Wu, in all his younger sibling glory, used his element of creation to make an actual tickle monster not realising the consequences of his actions.

Both he and Garmadon learned that day that they should definitely start getting along.

The fsm was not impressed when he was jumped by both his breathless sons, before he too got jumped by a 8ft blue furry creature with googly eyes and had to fly kick the thing far into the air.

Years later? All of them forget it ever even happened.

Until Lloyd has to deal with the consequences of his family’s actions again when one day after Lloyd pranks all the ninja he’s walking through the bounty’s deck when a blue 8ft furry monster fall on him and starts tickling him.

It took Wu saying the ninja would have to alphabetically sort all of his teas and scrolls if they don’t help Lloyd for them to actually stop the tickle monster from hyperventilating Lloyd.

Wu watched happily as all his students got attacked from the tickle monster. He made sure to record it all so one day he can show it to Garmadon.

I wanna be a banana. Like in that one music video of princess Luna dressed as banana i want to be sweet and yellow and a banana.

Princess Luna and Garmadon would absolutely get along wth they’d definitely talk crap about Wu and Celestia

Every time i see kid Morro with Wu and they’re just playing or bonding or whatever i remember that that was what they had. Past tense. Had. And it’s not something they could ever get back.

Isn’t Garmadon the creator of Daddy issues in Ninjago or smth

Like the Fsm doesn’t count we don’t even know which one is his dad

But Garmadon? Man he’s the creator of Daddy issue what is UP with him

“You…you were always his favourite.” DAMNNNN POOR WU 😭

I got bored so now I’m slapping you all with Lloyd headcanons from someone who percieves him as a stupid teenager. Yippe.

Lloyd, despite everything, is the BEST when it comes to money. Especially with negotiations. If the original price of something is ‘unfair’ to Lloyd, he will make sire that price of 300 drops down to 20 bucks. No one understands how he does it, least of all Ronin who feels like he just got robbed of 280.

Lloyd’s hair is naturally blonde, the same shade as Wu’s, whose hair was exactly like Lloyd’s grandfathers, the Fsm. Misako, Garmadon, and Wu all already knew that Lloyd got the blonde from the Fsm, but Lloyd, oh poor innocent dumb 10/15 year old (early seasons, so right after the tea and after they met Misako) Lloyd, had a crisis over it. After finding out Misako and Wu were almost a thing, and having no idea how the Fsm looks like, he waddled over to Wu one night, tears in his eyes, and asks his uncle why he has blonde hair. Wu, not thinking much of it, was prepared to start explaining science to him as well as show a picture of the Fsm. Until, he saw the rhetorical worry and the accusation in Lloyd’s eyes.

“Ah…nephew. What are you really asking me right now?…”

“Wu…Garmadon is my dad, right?????” And Lloyd’s about to start sobbing. Wu had to sit him down, explain he would never, and bombard Lloyd with photo’s of the Fsm and young Garmadon, who looks exactly like Lloyd. Safe to say that the next day Zane began teaching Lloyd everything he should’ve learnt in school. Specifically science.

Lloyd, after losing his element by almost dying, learnt how to manually make his eyes glow. So sometimes it’s a dim light, other times he rivals a flash light. He loves using it in staring contests, he cackled the first tike he used it on Jay who yelped back and couldn’t see anything other than a weird shadow light thing for the rest of the day. Jay then bribed Zane to do that to Lloyd, who learnt his lesson to only ever flash his eyes at Kai.

Lloyd used to read fanfiction on Wattpad years ago in Darkley’s, so sometimes when he’s captured or in a situation, he starts narrating like a 14 year old girl with a crush on BTS/Harry Styles/One Direction. “My glowing green emerald eyes stared deeply into the abyss, hoping someone, anyone would come save me…and slowly, as my lean and strong body wiggled for freedom, I saw Fritz Donnegan-” “LLOYD I SWEAR WHEN WE GET OUT-”

Lloyd knows how to tap dance. To doom.

Once, Lloyd tried to be Spider-Man by using his element to make green lasso’s or smth. Little did he know he almost blew up half of Ninjago city when everything he grabbed with them started blowing up. You learn something new everyday. Though, the Commissioner didn’t like that excuse all that much.

Lloyd enjoys growing his extras two arms out and then hanging off of Cole’s back like how baby’s do with the baby carriers. He didn’t like that comparison all that much, Kai.

Lloyd is the type of person to do things so reckless, especially when it comes to emotionally attached villains. He will happily cuss out his dad when he’s on a oni rampage, yes he will go out and have coffee with Harumi, the girl who is knows to all of Ninjago city as the quiet one and call her “Salumi” the whole time, yes he will summon Morro and tell him all the cool stuff he did as the real green ninja, yes he will visit Pythor and give him snake food as a present. All of them are concerned and/or annoyed.

Not many people realised how much Lloyd looked like Misako until he wore her glasses as a joke. She started lecturing him about how bad his eye sight could get if he kept doing that, and all he said was “I’m not even human, i don’t count.”

Once Lloyd went to a place that prides itself for its inclusivity, and then had no idea if he should go to the mens bathroom, the dragons bathroom, or the oni’s bathroom. After taking a peak into the latter two, he quickly decided the mens bathroom is safer. Much safer. He dragged Nya to help him complain to the restaurant about there being no dragoni bathrooms around here and got free food out of it. So worth the embarrassment of saying “How am i supposed to reach the toilet??? HOW????”

Just imagining Garmadon having to accept that Lloyd will always be more like Wu because Wu was in his life when Garmadon couldn’t be.

Garmadon’s banishment to the underworld, if things went a little differently:

Wu, who almost just got murdered by his brother before his glowing clothes somehow saved his life, as he watches his brother fall down a dark hole: NO!

Wu: *runs towards the possibly endless hole smack dab in the middle of the monastery* GARMADON! GARMADON?? BROTHER PLEASE, WHERE ARE YOU??

Wu: *straight up pleading towards what looks like a dark abyss of nothing, begging to hear, to see, his brother once more as he feels tears well up in his eyes.*

Garmadon: *lying on his back in the sinkhole that was unfairly dark in his half human-half oni form, completely and utterly embarrassed and ashamed by his over the top venom-induced tantrum. Pouting with his arms crossed as he tries to figure out how to make this as dramatically cool of a disappearance as possible before one day returning in a similarly dramatic sense.*

Wu: *reached his limit of common sense as he’s yelling down what could possible be a portal so he probably shouldn’t use his bare hands to climb down like a madman, sobbing uncontrollably in guilt* GARMADONNNNNNNNN BROTHERR WHEREEEE AREEEE YOUUUUUU?????????

Garmadon: *mumbling* oh. Oh good God what do I do.

I have a small AU where on the Day of the Departed some souls are able to go down to Ninjago to see their loved ones.

(Such as souls who have recently died, souls who are remembered, or souls who are trusted enough to go down (when a dangerous soul is one of the first two they either are not allowed to go down or must travel down with a ‘Guardian’ such as Garmadon with Morro (yes this is a Morro AU are you actually surprised)))

So imagine how Cole feels when years down the pipe line something triggers his previous ghostly-ness (maybe evil Garms resurrection) and he sees Morro and Garmadon bickering near a Lloyd, Cryptor making fun of Zane and Pixal, Dr Julien admiring all the changes that has occurred, his mom admiring how big he’s gotten, and the damn First spinjitzu master snorting at Wu and (evil) Garmadon bickering.

No Kai he’s not hallucinating Harumi’s birth parents and adopted parents hovering over her what the hell.

Imagine how baffled he would be when he sees some random blonde woman and a guy who looks way too familiar babying a Jay who has no idea why Cole both looks traumatised and amused when looking at him.

I like to think that sometimes the ninja have elemental accidents that makes them deal with the wrath of Wu. I also like to think that sometimes those accidents actually help them.

Kai: starts to uncontrollably shoot fire from his mouth, and in a mission where they need to light a bunch of pedestals near the same time, it really comes in handy.

Zane: can’t help but freeze things each time he touches it, and in summer best believe everyone is clinging onto him for that refreshing ice to cover their skin.

Nya: When tied up and captured with the release button behind her, Nya is awfully thankful that for the past week her hair has been incredibly heavy with water and will not dry, since now its heavy enough for her smack the button with.

Cole: keeps making rocks float in the air, and has found a new past time making them spin around someone’s head each time they get a concussion. He likes shaping them into dumb stuff too. He also specifically does it around villains, so when they realise them in their confusion he can throw the floating rocks directly at their foreheads.

Jay: becoming a lightning rod is one thing, Jay being really worried as he shakes Lloyd who is slowly dying before accidentally electrocuting him, getting yelled at for doing it, only for Lloyd to shoot up and start breathing again is another.

Lloyd: When Lloyd can’t stop glowing green, he becomes an oversized flashlight when they have to go on a mission in a deep, dark cave. Lloyd is terrified like a lil baby since he has to lead and keeps screeching each time any noise is made. No Lloyd that wasn’t your father it was a rat.

Bonus+

Wu: once kept creating things out of his hands and couldn’t stop. Mystake and the Fsm loved it since he kept making tea cups out of his hands. Mystake swears that that was the first time she had gotten so much business.

Garmadon: kept shooting destruction beams out of his hands when he was younger and would have to keep his hands as fists so the Fsm wouldn’t realise. After being sent on an errand to the town they regularly visit, he accidentally opens his hand and shoots a beam at a house. Instead of getting yelled at by the people surrounding it, the people with yellow hats turned out to be construction workers who were tasked to break down the house for a new one to be built. They were literally just complaining about how long it would take when Garmadon shot it down to dust. The Fsm got ten letters the next day asking for Garmadon’s help.

Morro: once saw someone struggling to breath and panicked, cover their mouth, and after the the past week of accidentally making the wind stronger or weaker where the training grounds was destroyed multiple times and Wu had to tie everything floatable down, Morro accidentally became an oxygen mask as he pushed and pulled the air from the person periodically. After the person began to breathe properly again, Morro burst into tears because he thought they were struggling to breathe because of him. Wu had to sit him down and explain exactly what had happened. Now, in the present, Morro likes to make people shut up by taking away their breath for a second.

Euphrasia: once couldn’t stop making everything float before she got dragged into helping people move stuff around since she made it easier. She keeps having old grandmas asking her to carry stuff around and help renovate homes. She’s gotten sick of hearing ‘a little to the left- ohhh no more to the right!’.

Sora: kept accidentally breaking things and once broke some rich guys toaster. She then proceeded to try fix it only for her powers to go haywire and make a toaster deluxe 5000 when it can fry, grill, and toast bread to perfection with added on butter. She had to block the guy five times after he kept asking for her fix his microwave.

Wyldfyre: she became super sweaty after over using her element only for Kai to realise that the only reason his fire was able to make the bottle he was holding blow up was because it was coated in sweat from Wyldfyre’s hand. They tested it out and whilst Wyldfyre’s flames and normal ones can’t make it blow (if her flames did she’d be blowing up 24/7 and normal flames aren’t strong enough), Kai is perfectly capable of making her sweat into bombs. Ghost Wu is not amused when he sees his monastery on fire.

Pixal and Arin begin to not only be sick of all the elemental accidents, but also appreciate them for their usefulness, since Arin likes to use Kai’s flaming mouth to help bake pies.

Resurrected Morro AU except Morro purposely stays and hides in caves to guilt trip the ninja with his trauma.

“Oh, so you want me to die in a cave AGAIN???” The water ninja pauses where she was gonna cause a cave in, raises her hands up, and steps back.

“Hey, if you and the earth ninja team up, maybe you can recreate my death by adding lava!” He says to the fire and earth ninja, who proceed to trip over their feet as the earth ninja stares at him horrified, the fire one seeming to actually contemplate it for a second.

“At least i won’t be alone in my untimely demise this time.” As he side eyes Wu. Who is trying to either drag Morro out of the cave or die in there with him this time.

And the only reason he does it is because not only is he petty, but he’s sick of Lloyd and the others guilt tripping him constantly. Like ok, sorry i turned you into a ghost and gave all of you trauma and took away your free will, but tbh is it really my fault?

Yes, Morro, it was.

(SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR DRAGONS RISING PART 2 IN THE LAST TWO SENTENCES)

Damn. So you’re telling me BOTH of Wu’s ‘first’ students turned evil?

You’re telling me BOTH the Fsm’s ‘first’ students turned evil?

You’re telling me both of them had a ‘technical’ student (Nineko for the Fsm and Aspheera for Wu) and an ACTUAL first student (Garmadon and Morro)??

And now you’re telling me Lloyd already has a somewhat ‘evil’ or at the very least ‘morally grey’ student????

Man Lloyd is gonna go through it.

Thinking about the villains who left a lasting impression on both us and on the ninja is a journey.

Cause first you have Garmadon, the reason daddy issues exist.

Then you have Morro, the reason Wu is terrible at sharing secrets, and who also has his own issues of both an inferiority and superiority complex.

And then we have whatever went on with Harumi, the reason consequences should be considered. With her own, massive daddy issues. (Seriously, why would you ask THE Garmadon to be your dad)

Oh my GOD

One was Lloyd’s dad, one was Lloyd’s (technical??) cousin, and one was newly adopted sister (???) whose like those evil adopted step sisters in Gacha music videos. Man how did Wu and Lloyd survive in that family, and why’d Misako think they were a great family to marry into 😭

Do you think before Lloyd, before the mention of the green ninja and before the prophecy of the green ninja became such a big deal, that Wu was “The chosen one”?

Do you think people looked to Wu, every time anything and everything happened, for an answer or plan or words that will help them?

Do you think Wu always had to lead wars, train individuals, be as wise as possible, and even more just to ensure one of his badly made decisions doesn’t end in lives being lost? That he couldn’t afford to make bad decisions because not only were peoples lives in danger, but so was people care and respect for him?

Do you think he sat, feeling the weight of his burdens, of all the expectations, of all the responsibilities and power, weigh him down until he only wished he could become dust under such a heavy rock? Knowing that he will never get to escape it all because he knew no one else could stand up to his position?

Do you think he felt grief overtake his mind when he realised he could no longer rely on Garmadon as a rock anymore? The venom eroding him away?

Do you think he felt despair, and regret, as well as resignation, once he saw Lloyd in his old position?

Do you think the Fsm once stood in the position Wu now is, only able to watch a kind and powerful soul be burdened with the world, cause no one else could be?

I wonder if Garmadon looked at Morro that same way. A child in his position.

At least the brothers had the chance to change one of their children’s lives.

What the ninja like eating straight in the morning, when they can’t be bothered to make anything before training:

Lloyd: Tea and biscuits. He makes it scalding hot and complains when it burns his tongue, always manages to pour some onto his hand when carrying the hot cup. His first biscuit always breaks and falls into the cup.

Kai: he likes eating fish. Lives by “breakfast is the most important meal!”

Nya: cereal, drowns it in milk, and chugs the milk down at the end.

Zane: he eats five breakfast cereal bars, the ones you can get at any supermarket.

Cole: what ever is in the fridge is his to munch. Doesn’t matter if theres a label saying don’t touch, his fingers are wiggling towards it.

Jay: breakfast is a scam. Zane shoves cereal into his mouth and Nya makes sure to add milk.

Pixal: she likes grabbing screwdrivers and taking a huge bite out of them. Kai began getting fish for her too, he got sick of a pouty Zane and the crunch the screwdriver makes.

Sensei Wu: the sweat and pains of his students.

Bonus+

Morro: grass. He likes eating grass. Wu couldn’t stop him.

Skylor: makes a five course meal, can’t finish it, gives it to a random cat and dog that is always near her house in the morning.

Garmadon: he likes eating ice cream, the fsm once put broccoli into his favourite ice cream tub and it made Garmadon not eat breakfast for a month straight.

Personally, I think if Morro ever came across the weird golden ball of energy that is Wu in Dragons Rising, he’d laugh his butt off.

Like sensei, what kinda two-bit ghost are you 😭

Sensei, no no, sensei you don’t need to be this special please???

Do you guys ever think about how Wu must’ve sat right at the edge of the portal/hole his brother fell down, not knowing that it would be ten years later he would see the man that had been by his side since the day they were born, the last time he would see his brother, the last time he would see his big brother who knew him so well and always knew how to help him, the last time he would ever actually get to call Garmadon his brother without the word being tainted, waiting for him to climb back up?

Do you think he sat, planning on how he would apologise to Garmadon once he saw his scowling face poke above the holes edge? Hoping for an apology of his own for almost dying by his hand?

Do you think he sat pondering how he could help Garmadon handle the snakes venom after he climbed out of the hole? Planning on doing more to find a cure?

How long do you think he sat, waiting?

I think he sat for a while. I think the only reason he even moved was when he heard the cries of his baby nephew, and the shaking voice of his sister-in-law, asking what has happened.

Do you think he knew, at that moment, that it would be the key starting point of everything?
