Lloyd is an eight (maybe ten) year old stuck in an adults body.
Lord Garmadon had used the golden weapons to deage the 'crontour', basically a dinasaur. In the process the ninjas got deaged as well (which is pretty weird in Zane's case). The only way they were able to solve that issue was using an age tea? Travelers tea? Which Lloyd had to use in the middle of a losing battle. The tea obviously affected him as well.
In the beginning of this same episode Lloyd was complaining that he couldn't do stuff other kids could do: play, read comic books, etc. Kay reacted saying he wasn't like other kids and that he had to train if he wanted to face his father (kinda harsh when you think about it). He lost what little he had of a childhood to save his friends. He also had to mature a little too quickly.
What I'm trying to say is that he is still a child. One literally stuck in an adults body.
Does he still wish to read comic books and go out to play? Has he ever regret helping his friends? Is he trying to act mature? Is it all just an act?
Welp! Almost 10 years later (and probably more) this finally gets discussed in the new season (series?...) of ninjago. When Lloyd, as the green ninja, came of age he had to go to some place to train. Since he didnt get the opportunity to grow as a normal kid and was immediately thrown into adulthood, then situations like the video below happened.

This is a part of my wheelchair/cane user Danny AU, and while I first had plans to draw Vlad and Dani in this AU- I just had to try my hand at drawing Cujo.
Cujo is a mobility assistant dog, he provides Danny with an additional level of balance support when Danny walks. He also has other tasks like item retrieval and "opening" doors.
He's also a trained diabetic alert dog! May as well put those heightened ghost dog senses to work.
More design explanation and little "rambles" under the cut, as always!
Someone in one of the other posts mentioned Danny using a hurrycane, and while I originally gave Danny a non-folding acrylic one for the aesthetic, I did want to give drawing different cane styles a go. This one has a wider base that swivels as he walks, and a small model of Pluto attached to the strap.
I imagine that, even though Danny would probably take the NASA designation very seriously, Pluto would become his favourite 'planet' after he develops his ice powers. Plus, in roman myth, Pluto is the equivalent of Hades- Hades has the dog Cerberus. And Pluto is a dog name- it was just too perfect.
When Danny brings Cujo to school with him, he brings a pouch of specialty ectoplasmic dog treats and Cujo's squeaker toy. He keeps those attached to his hip with a carabiner
Danny's new cane in this art has glow in the dark star stickers stuck all over it.
Cujo is modelled after a mastiff and bully- for no reason other than I wanted him to have the mastiff fur pattern and big ol' cheeks
Cujo being a diabetic alert dog actually comes from a gag line from a comic I've been working on. Danny was trying to get out of detention and fight a ghost, but Lancer rejects each of his excuses before he can make them, and one is "No, you may not go get Sam some juice or a snack, if she has low-blood sugar, I will get something for her."
But then I think it could just be a nice thing to train Cujo to do; I imagine that when Cujo is out with Phantom, he's alerted to a few random citizen's blood sugar levels
Cujo's full list of tasks include:
balance support for Danny while walking
"opening" doors (touching his nose to them to turn them intanglible for Danny)
item retrieval (less used due to how difficult ectoplasmic dog drool is to clean)
circling (where Cujo paces around Danny's chair in crowded places to give Danny space to move, stand up, or sit down)
wheelchair pulling (this is NOT an average mobility dog task- this is EXCLUSIVELY because Cujo is a ghost, he's got ghost strength)
and diabetic alert for Sam and other civilians.
More design rambles
Cujo's muzzle is non-restrictive. It's merely there as a signal to Cujo that he's still working, even if one or both of his vests have been removed.
The mobility assistant vest is inspired directly by a harness from Bold Lead Designs. I chose that one due to the adjustable height of the main bracer, but made a few changes; there is a leather bracer in front that's short and stays upright. The metal bracer can rotate back to lay against Cujo's side when it's not needed- and the plastic handle is moulded to curve around the shape of his body to make it lay flatter. There's a wool lining around the main parts of the vest for Cujo's comfort.
Here were my reference images:
The patches on the purple vest include "Mobility Assist" and "Diabetic Alert", a "Danny Phantom Certified SAFE GHOST" patch, another patch that says "Service Dog: Do Not Pet", and Danny's Casper High ID.
The light and dark gradient of Cujo's eyes is the reverse of what the humans have. Humans have highlights at the top of their irises and darker shades at the bottom, but Cujo has dark on top and highlight at the bottom.
Cujo's Axiom Labs dog tag has been replaced with a Danny Phantom tag.

Phew. That's a big list. Hope I didn't forget anything.
And that's about it for now. Like I said, I have plans for Vlad and Dani- but for now I just want to say this:
Thank you all so so much for the overwhelming support on my original post for this AU. 2K notes on the first drawings I did is insane- I have been blown away by how kind and excited ya'll have been about my design choices and art! And I'm so so so incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful people who gave me their feedback and advice, and corrected me on some of my mistakes.
I hope that as I post more, I continue to learn and improve.
also if I knew it was going to get so much attention I would have drawn backgrounds for the first two posts. They look so unfinished to me now ;-;
When I get time I'm going to go back and add some simple backgrounds to those two posts.
Thank you for sticking around and reading the rest of this post!
I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.
This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.
If you frequently find yourself in random situations while your friends happen to be experiencing problems maybe you, too, are too smart for the narrative.
I was watching a movie on Netflix called Spellbound.
It's about a girl whose parents got turned into monsters
Spoilers Ahead
Ok then. Parents got turned into monsters cause they were fighting (They were in a forest where if dark thought consumed you, then there would be consequences)
The daughter (Ellian, 14) had to take over their duties until they turned back, which lasted for around a year (now she's 15)
Luckily she got in contact with the oracles (very cute couple btw) who told her she needed to travel to to a place of light beyond the dark forest (it was literal light on giant rock hands)
So along the journey her parents learned to speak and eventually remember and recognize her as their daughter.
They also remembered (or more like the light showed them) how they got turned into monsters.
They were fighting
But Ellian didn't see that so when she saw her parents refusing to enter the light and saying they couldn't and not saying why just that they needed to talk to each other.
Well she snapped and darkness started consuming her too. She believed that since her parents didn't love each other then they mustn't love her either.
Her parents seemed to have realized the harm they were doing by hiding it all. They tried to help her amd explain what really went down but the soldiers caught them (did I forget to mention that there was an army looking for the monster that hurt and kidnapped their princess?)
Moving on, they escaped thanks to a little furball army and we're able to save their daughter and explained everything
Movie shows a year later on Ellian's 16th birthday. She mentions her parents now lived in two different houses. When this is mentioned the results were clear: the parents divorced. They were still cordial and even nice to each other on the birthday celebration.
I don't know it's just weird but a good kind of weird. I wish I had seen a movie like this as a kid. Maybe I would have learned earlier on that it's alright if my parents divorce cause they'll still love me even if they don't love each other.

I recently found this YouTube channel called Multiversal Wisdom and they have videos of batman's contingency plans against almost every cartoon character (Ex.: The Incredibles, Ladybug and Chat Noir, Ben Ten, Sportacus (Lazy Town), Danny Phantom, etc.)
And I remembered the movie or Batman's contingency plans getting leaked and being used against the heros.
And my mind went wild on that cause then it wouldn't just be The Justice League (typically stationed in the USA) that were affected but heros of all over the globe and some from other planets or dimensions
There have to be adult KND operatives. At what age does a teen spy age out? They don’t. They become mandated reporters. Social workers. Foster parents. Pediatricians. They become the people you go to when you need help beyond what the KND can do.
If you’re seriously hurt, you go to the doctor who never charges, never asks.
If your parents are cruel, you tell the guidance counselor with a small number on their lapel.
If you need to crash, they’ve always got a spare bed and breakfast in the morning.

My friend didn't like the 3rd one that much and at the beginning of the book I agreed with her.
Feyre's attitude and personality did a 180. Half way into the book it got more interesting especially when she left the Spring Court and it got me hooked until the end.
The second book is my favorite out of the first three.
I'm still in the beginning of the fourth one but it's kinda boring... I'll probably start obsessively reading it later though.
