Lost and found ninjago

Asks for this au are more welcome, including ones directed at the characters ^^ there will be no oc’s in this fic

I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

THIS IS ABOUT SEASON 2 OF DRAGONS RISING NOT 3

Anyone else thinking about how the ninja team combo vehicle  looks like the ultra sonic raider a bit? Anyone else thinking about how many good memories it brought back for the ninja, even though sora had no clue about it and it wasnt intentional? No? Just me? Okie dokie then.

Awww ty 🥰 I do my best thinkin at 2 am when I’m tryin to go to bed <3

Expanding on Lloyd’s nesting habit

In the winter time he straight up steals Kai outta his bed to add him to the nest. Often times he’s either barely awake or sleepwalking.

In the summer months Zane gets the same treatment. They’ve all just sort of accepted this reality and go along with it

When hes really tired he collects his friends/family and they act as his horde

I was thinking about how Sora, Arin and Wyfy are fellow new ninja, which means they interact with each other a lot more off-screen. So I was wondering what their trio name is. But like I couldn't seem to find any. So this is my proposal.

All I’m thinkin about is how I’m gonna handle morro in my au bc no way am I leaving him out <3

I love when I check the ninjago wiki to double check that I’m correct about something before Info dumping to my friend about it and discovering new information that I cannot for the love of me find where it came from.

Like what do you mean ronin is the one who sold Zane to Chen? I mean it checks out but when was this said?? Am I just forgetting a line of dialogue or something?? What??

Thinking about a scene from a ninjago roleplay I had in highschool and the missed angst opportunities 😔

It was a wonderful rp and wish I could read it again but alas the accounts used to create it are deleted

Lost and found, arc 1: buried treasure

Part 1: new arrival

(next) (masterpost)

Lloyd wasn’t sure how long ago he’d left darklys (totally because they weren’t good enough for HIM) a year? Two maybe?

It didn’t really matter.

He’d been alone for long enough it hurt.

He missed Brad.

He missed mom.

He missed.. dad.

Neither of them ever picked him up. Neither of them ever showed.

Lloyd did what he could to make it through each day but. Wondering around on your own left you hungry.. and. Lost..

The young garmadon had no CLUE where he was. Or where to go.

So, he did the only thing he could, he wondered the land of ninjago in search of food and shelter.

“This is so stupid” he huffed, he’d grown accustomed to talking to the wind

“that stupid school wouldn’t know evil if it hit them in the face!” His face scrunched into a scowl, he drew his leg back, attempting to kick up a patch of sand, landing square on his back instead with a resounding ‘oomf’

“AGH!” He shouted in frustration “can’t even kick SAND right. Gene was right.. maybe I am better off lost..” his red eyes welled up with tears, he shoved his sandy palms to his face, trying to stop himself from crying, failing miserably as he had everything else in his young life

He sniffled as the wind blew sand over and around him. He felt as if he could just stay right there and let the earth swallow him up like a peice of gum

His heart stopped as the realization hit him, the earth was swallowing him.

He was sinking.

it wasn’t his imagination

His tears turned from despair to fear as he desperately tried to scramble away as the earth tried to swallow him whole “HELP!! SOMEBODY”

He screamed at the top of his little lungs, trying to grab onto something, ANYTHING to avoid getting sucked in but it didn’t matter.

His hand slipped from the sand as he screamed. Sure he would die. The earth around him became so.. warm. Comforting almost. Then hot. Scolding. Unbearable before-

PHWOOSH

The lord terror in training shot right out of the earth in a firey geyser. His screaming followed by the thud of his tiny body smacking into sandstone and a snap

Lloyd yelped,pushing himself to a sitting position, wincing as shook the sand out of his hair and he blinked the sun out of his eyes

“Where the hell AM i..?” He frowned, taking in his surroundings. Piles of junk cascaded nearly every inch of the place. He was lucky he didn’t skewered.. “is. Is anyone here..?” He asked meekly to the garbage heeps

Something clattered nearby

“Hello?” The frail boy asked, trying to push himself to his feet only to be met with pain in his ankle. He seethed from the white hot fury of putting any weight on it “h-hey-! I need help!! If some one’s there you should. Uh. You should come out already!!”

This time Lloyd’s cries were met. A purple faced teen with teeth the size of Lloyd’s wrist poked their head out. “Are you.. hurt?” They tilted their head to the side. Trying to get a look at the boy from a safe spot.

“Obviously!!” Lloyd rolled his eyes “I just fell like a bazillion feet!!”

The teen chuckled, making their way over to young new comer “the geysers don’t get quite that high,”

Lloyd tensed. “Well it sure felt that high… where even is this place?”

“This. Is the land of the lost.” The purple one explained, kneeling by Lloyd and checking on his ankle before grabbing pieces of scrap metal “I’m geo.”

“land of the lost? Am I supposed to know what that is?”

“No, probably not. It’s just a place where everything that gets, well, lost, ends up.” Geo shrugged, setting the prices of metal on either side of the frail child’s ankle, hovering his hand over it. It glowed as the peices fused together.

“Woah.. how did you do that?!” Lloyd gasped

“I donno. I’ve just. Always been able to?”

“That’s so cool..! Can you teach me?”

“Uh. I can try to? but first What was your name?”

“Oh uh,” the smaller boy hesitated “Lloyd. Lloyd garmadon.

“Well Lloyd,” geo offered his hand, pulling his new friend to his feet and acting as a crutch for him “I say we worry about that ankle first, and then we talk about cool powers, ok?”

“yeah. Ok.” Lloyd smiled for what felt like the first time in ages.

And suddenly, he didn’t feel so lost anymore.

Thinkin about my sleepy ninjago hc post and ive decided actually wu and garmadon ALSO subconsciously make nests bc they’re part dragon. Wu’s better at making himself seem more human so his nests aren’t as obvious but they are there

Garmadon kinda. Stopped giving a fuck about how human he seemed as his corruption got worse, so his bed was more nest then mattress (misako just went with it bc she love her hubby 🥰 and woo nest cuddles are even more cozy)

Wait omg little wu and garmadon making pillow fort nest combos together (lloyd making one too when he moves into the bounty and wu gets all sentimental and everyone’s like ???? But he’s like 🥰)
