THINGS I REALLY WISH GARM HAD THE BRAINCELLS TO WISH FOR USING THE MEGA WEAPON...

(I'm just pissed someone got their hands on a wish granting souvenir and basically... wasted it)

1. A wish to instantly turn Ninjago into his image. - (sighs) My man did everything he could to get to that point without just wishing for it instantly himself and taking the easy route. I fucking love this guy. ❌

2. A cure for the goddamned venom. - you'd think this one would be the most obvious of them all right? But apparently our Dark Lord didn't see that it was so here we are. (Though, sometimes I headcannon that he DID in fact try it, but it didn't work. I mean, the Golden Weapons were made by the FSM and even HE couldn't cure his own son so...) I'll give this a pass. ✅

Okay, I know the first two are the obvious ones. But let's move on.

3. Go back in time and I don't know...maybe STOP the Devourer's bite from happening in the first place, I GUESS? For fuck's sake, my dude literally DID use the weapon to go back in time in Episode 19, but did he decide to use it for this? Oh hell, no. ❌ But imagine if he DID though, but something goes wrong and Wu gets bitten instead. And the next thing he knows, he's pulled back to the present (because I'm just going to pretend the Mega Weapon has some screwed-up time limit) and sees the future he caused...and tries to fix it. (Because absolutely nothing goes as planned in canon and fanon)

4. A wish to strip his son of the prophecy. - Look, I get it. You're horrified you have to fight your own child to death and you've somehow managed to kinda accept it in later episodes of Season 2. Okay. So why not just wish Lloyd wasn't the Green Ninja? It wouldn't even hurt him. - The wish could still somewhat backfire by the role going to someone like Kai or the other ninja for example. But do you have to still stomach the realization you have to destroy your own son? Well, not really, huh? ❌

5. A wish to turn Lloyd back into a child. - So he was ambushed by the ninja in Episode 19 and that was when he first saw his son's...growth spurt, I guess? He was straight up horrified, but was it because he realized Lloyd lost his childhood or because he knew that this meant the Final Battle was drawing closer? An easy fix would be to just make him younger instead of... opening a portal into the past. He'd have more time to prepare and plus, this would also mean Lloyd could still have a childhood. And I don't think the ninja would try to pressure Lloyd to take Tomorrow's Tea again, now that he's got a second chance. Maybe Lloyd would argue though, but I doubt they would've let him.

Just so everyone is clear on where I stand: I love getting @'d in posts. I love it when people want to show me things. I get so happy about the fact that you saw something you thought I might like. I don't care if we aren't mutuals. I don't care if you think I might have already been tagged. Please never be afraid of just showing me shit. Thank u.

HELLO PEOPLE LETS TALK ABOUT NINJAGO LLOYD, HIS ELEMENTAL POWER AND PHYSICS

im utterly pissed off with people totally ignoring the physical part of elemental powers in ninjago universe so here i am explaining to all of you everything

so what do we think about when we hear "elemental powers"? we think about avatar the last airbender, of course! fire, water, earth, air. maybe you're a weirdo who watches a kids show and analyses local events from physical part (☠️) and you think about, i dunno, ice, lightning, speed, shadow, sound etc... its okay. me too.

but when you think about the fire, earth or shadow you know its origin, you know where this came from.

when you think about lloyd montgomery garmadon and his elemental power... tsk, here comes the tricky part.

what is lloyd garmadon's elemental power exactly?

well, google says this

which is accurate since his power is energy

but i think that some of you folks don't actually understand what energy is

let's get back to google

the capacity for doing work ?

google says that lloyd can shoot energy beams at the enemies but how ? the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. he can't just, well, do energy out of nowhere

and let's clear that up: i know that it's a kids show and it don't have to be that deep. i just want to have fun so we're going forward

theoretically lloyd can do energy out of nowhere. here's how

standard model is the code of our universe. everything (you, your pet, your dinner, your singing, your thoughts are made of it) & ! as you im guessing already tumbled to; even the energy made of it! (you can learn more about it here)

so the first spinjitsu master and green ninja are able to manipulate the quarks gluons and bosons. they use the kinetic energy of bosons constantly pumping out everywhere and make an actual thing out of it

we have decided that yes lloyd's power is energy

but we have another opinion about it; that lloyd's power is, well, power

and i have to say that, unfortunately, it's not

just google that shit up! and everything is clear

power is time rate of doing work. not an actual thing

so today we found out a lot about power of green ninja! learn the physics kids cause it's fun

“UNAGAMI WILL CHOOSE YOUR OPPONENT.”

Lloyd watched the screen in front of him flip through various characters for him to potentially face off. He was shocked to find that many of them were people he knew from his life, and more importantly, people he was reluctant to fight–either friends like Clutch, or especially bad enemies like Aspheera. He thought he even saw an image of Harumi flicker onscreen for a second, and his heart did a little leap as he feared what he would do if he had to fight her.

The screen froze and disappeared before he could have a good look at what opponent had been chosen for him. Rows of glowing blocks materialized in front of him and formed a person.

Lloyd took in a sharp breath. He felt so numb, he almost dropped his sword.

It was worse than Harumi. Much, much worse.

In a quivering voice, he softly called, “Dad?”

It wasn’t just Lord Garmadon. It was Sensei Garmadon–uncorrupted, with two arms, gray hair, and a friendly smile. His eyes were soft, unlike the harsh red glow in his oni form, and he wore the same robes he had passed on to Lloyd the night he sacrificed himself. The wrinkles around his eyes crinkled as he smiled at the green ninja.

“Lloyd,” his father greeted warmly.

Lloyd’s limbs shook. Many emotions flashed through him at once–pain, nostalgia, yearning–but he chose to focus on his confusion. “You’re supposed to be corrupted,” he said.

Garmadon walked toward him. Lloyd knew he should have been tense, but there was too much comfort in that warm smile, and in the slight limp in his gait that Lloyd had grown so familiar to in his years spent training in his dojo.

“That monster is not me,” Garmadon promised, then spread an arm out for a hug. “I’m sorry. We have a lot of missed time to catch up on.”

Lloyd felt a sob push its way to his throat. He knew it wasn’t very leaderlike, but tears welled up unwillingly in his eyes. He dropped his sword and embraced his dad, and suddenly he felt twelve years old again, hugging his dad after a long day of training to use his golden powers and fight without fighting.

There was a dull pounding on the forcefield around the arena. Jay was yelling something inaudible past the barrier, but none of that mattered to Lloyd. All that mattered was soaking up the soft silk of Garmadon’s robes, the warmth from his form, and–

A sharp pain flared across Lloyd’s back. He cried out and pushed himself away from his dad. Garmadon stood back, and in his hand was a dagger dripping with pixelated blood.

Lloyd gripped his injury and stared at Garmadon. “Dad…what…why?”

Garmadon’s expression didn’t change. He still wore that warm smile and those soft eyes, but paired with the dagger, they had become unnerving.

“I’m sorry, son,” Garmadon said, not sounding sorry at all. “I have to do this. Surely you understand.”

Lloyd looked up and finally noticed the red health bars that had appeared above both their heads. A pain squeezed at his heart, more painful than the injury in his back.

An opponent. He was an opponent.

Garmadon stabbed him again, too swiftly for him to see, just as skilled as the real Sensei Garmadon had been. Lloyd hissed. The health bar above his head shortened.

The green ninja hurriedly picked up his sword from the floor and held it aloft. The two fighters circled each other slowly.

“You don’t have to fight,” Garmadon said, his voice as smooth as running water, same as Lloyd remembered. “Just surrender and turn back.”

Lloyd glimpsed at where Jay and Nya stood, trying fruitlessly to pound their way into the arena and yelling something Lloyd couldn’t hear. He knew what they were trying to say now. This wasn’t the real Garmadon, and Lloyd knew it.

But it looked like him. It sounded like him. It even moved like him. The way the sun shone against his skin and made his hair look like glowing silver made him seem realer than any photo he had of him.

Garmadon lunged again, and Lloyd narrowly blocked his blade. He knew he should attack back, but the weapon felt heavy in his hands. The tears in his eyes were threatening to spill over.

It was cruel, as simple as that. Lloyd would have gladly fought harumi, or even his dad in his corrupted form, but this…

“I can’t,” he croaked, his eyes stinging and his chest sobbing. “I can’t fight you. I don’t want to.”

But the lines of code wearing his father’s face left him no choice.

I'm soo tired and that made me not finish.

Anyone remember this post?

............................

Sorry to interrupt your scrolling but hear me out; SOG season...but with Lloyd's hellspawn.

So I'm just gonna pretend the kid's kid is around 4 or 5 by the time Sons of Garmadon rolls around. And.... she's a girl — Basically Lloyd's carbon copy with pale blonde hair and red or green eyes etc. I have no idea on what Lloyd would name her, but he loves her to death, and of course, she's also got four super-powered uncles and two aunts who love spoiling her...you get what I mean.

Now back to what I was saying about SOG. So I was thinking about Lloyd junior living with him in the city during the year they're searching for Wu. And then I wondered about how she would react to...(cough, cough) a certain Jade Princess.

Long story short, she hates her. Loathes her inside out. She doesn't know why, but something really doesn't feel right with Harumi. It doesn't help much that she knows her dad is smitten with her. And then when the ninja have baby Wu on their hands, Lloyd's kid and her are best buddies, but Zane and Jay both know that actually means chaos. Then when Lloyd and Harumi get stuck together in Prime Evil's Eye, she's basically ballistic on the bounty. I hate to say this but...the ninja don't realize that she's actually right until they find out. They just think she's just upset her dad won't pay attention to her anymore because of Harumi or something. Well, it's no surprise that they'll soon feel like jerks when they realize Harumi's the Quiet One.

And here's a bit that no one asked for about Hunted. Emperor Garmadon has kind of a...soft spot for her I guess? Damn, idk how this will even fit. 😭

But just hear me out, please. What if the same soulless demon resurrected from a satanic ritual who also just recently beat the shit out of his own son, has something left in there for his grandkid?

Okay, I'm shutting up now.
