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 ðŸ˜) her name isn't starting with L.
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.
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.
what the hell is wu studio and why am i getting asks about it????? this is really funny but what???
I know the Ninjago fandom is pretty small, maybe 500 at most?
I’m going to ask everyone who is an active member of the Ninjago fandom (Not just a side interest, etc.) to PLEASE Reblog this. I want to find out how many people there are.
Maaaan imagine Lloyd going on his Oni rampage, and everyone is helpless to watch because they know he’s probably in a lot of emotional pain and obviously no one wants to hurt their baby brother/the one person 2/3rds of the ninja were deigned to protect, and then:
Kai: I can’t do it!! We can’t fight him like this!!
Garmadon, from nowhere: *rolls up sleeves* I sure can tho
Basically what if current Lloyd meets baby him. Logic is a foreign concept, you have been warned.
Lloyd to his younger self : What on Earth possessed you to get that haircut?
Younger Lloyd : What on Earth possessed you to look like this? Did you fill in your eyebrows or something?
Lloyd : uh, no—
Younger Lloyd cuts him off : and why are your eyes green anyway? Did you put contacts on because you disowned dad? Are...are you ashamed of dad?
Lloyd : .....
Younger Lloyd crosses his arms : Well?
Lloyd : I — I —
Younger Lloyd : yeah, you what?
Lloyd, literally about to break down sobbing : He disowned me!
This was funnier in my head lol.
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)

I feel like one of the biggest letdowns when it comes to the C.O.C.K was the lack of a REAL Vangelis and Cole rematch. They're the only ninja/villain pair that actually HAD that massive rivalry, Cole tore everything from Vangelis, his power, his throne, the adoration of his people, and his child (at least how he sees it, Vangelis literally disowned his daughter but acts like Cole turned her against him lmao).
It would have been fucking AWESOME to have seen an actual, enjoyable fight between them, not just a teensy bit of fighting and some banter or whatever. The original fight between Cole and Vangelis was, and still is, one of the greatest fight scenes in the entire series, and I feel like, had Crystalized done better and actually given them a longer fight, there could've been an even better addition to the greatest Ninjago fights ever...
Ninjago AU: What if Lloyd sacrificed himself instead of Garmadon?
Don’t know if this has been thought of before but I’m going to continue anyways
We all know during the tournament of elements Garmadon sacrificed himself for the elemental masters to win but instead while he’s about to be taken by the cursed realm something pushes him away and when he turns back it’s Lloyd getting taken away and his last words are that he wishes for his father to live a good life even if he’s missing despite Garmadon shouts that he doesn’t do this but it’s too late as the realm has taken his son he’s paralyzed by the pain and just breaks down in sobs and pleas for the cursed realm to take him instead and to give back his son all to no avail.
They build a memorial for Lloyd but the pain Garmadon feels is unimaginable. He is in constant grievance shutting everyone out and just wanting to be alone. Taking frequent trips to the memorial where he’ll spend countless nights there because he doesn’t want to go back where everything feels empty without him. Wu and Misako try everything to cheer him up but nothing works yet they don’t give up and keep trying until Garmadon snaps at them which is when they give him space. Not only is he mourning but he’s trying to find a way to get Lloyd back without needing a sacrifice and without raising suspicions from others.
Then comes to the events of Possessed and Morro is free from the cursed realm in search of the green ninja but he doesn’t find anything in the city but spots an old man that reminds him of Wu and follows him to the gravesite of the green ninja much to his dismay as he wanted to take him down instead he appears and demands the man to take him to Wu before immediately getting blasted away which makes him realize the man is Garmadon, Wu’s brother, putting the pieces together he sees that he is mourning over the green ninja which just so happens to be his son and his son looks identical to a certain blond haired boy within the Preeminent.
Morro then gets an idea of how he’ll get the realm crystal and starts by telling Garmadon that he’s seen Lloyd and knows how to get him out(lying about getting him out) and Garmadon so desperate to reunite with his son agrees to help him even though it’ll mean fighting against his brother but he doesn’t care, his son will be coming back and that is all that matters. And well, you can imagine the rest from there ;)
Sketch commission done for @ninjas-and-coffee for winning my Dtiys!
She wanted angst and both of our Lloyd designs, so I obliged :)
Lloyd and Lord G are my coping mechanism. I'm also on FFNet and AO3 And yeah, I can't draw.
