neither of his parents have curly hair. william has straight hair, fancy has a slight curl to the ends but her fur is very silky and smooth, unlike the dense, bouncy curls wally had as a child

what if the darlings just started straightening it when he was younger and he just kept up the habit himself because he doesn't know how to maintain/style curly hair otherwise?

does this not sound like a song that fits wu

hell na it turned into an au in its own right because i can't help myself

also with this latest chapter i realized that if morro had stayed with wu and not gotten himself killed in the caves of despair, skylor has a 50/50 shot of even existing in this altered timeline because chen and wu wouldn't have split

meaning wu wouldn't have written that letter to misako for chen to steal and emotionally manipulate garmadon into signing

meaning garmadon wouldn't have had any competition and misako wouldn't have had to choose one brother over the other because one was already taken

meaning they would've never set wu up with libber only for her to get stolen by cliff

and wu wouldn't have roped pythor into things... OH THE SERPENTINE WAR wouldn't have HAPPENED and acronix and krux wouldn't have been turned evil by clouse...

oh wow the more i think about it the more HDWGH's timeline hinges on morro's death

because if morro hadn't died the ninja as they are might not exist

i love butterfly effects

because if none of the above things i just listed happened, then maybe libber wouldn't have married cliff, and jay might've ended up someone else's son and she wouldn't have given him up out of desperation

ray and maya wouldn't have been kidnapped, and the vermillion army wouldn't exist

maybe lilly would've still died, but libber and maya would've still been around because they were all friends

maybe garmadon would still get banished to the underworld, but wu wouldn't have been alone in the monastery for years after. he would've had a partner and at least morro, and maybe misako would've thought leaving lloyd with her brother-in-law a better idea than in the original timeline because wu's not scared of screwing up raising a child, because morro would still be around.

lloyd wouldn't have opened the serpentine tombs because they wouldn't exist. humans and serpentine wouldn't hate each other (at least not that much) so the serpentine would still be living on the surface with everyone else

pythor wouldn't have a reason to unleash the great devourer because he wouldn't have gone insane from decades of isolation and being forced to turn to cannibalism to survive. he'd be perfectly sane and have no desire for revenge against wu specifically because wu wouldn't have wronged him.

meaning harumi would still have her parents.

the SoG wouldn't exist

zane wouldn't be kidnapped by ronin to be sold to chen because chen was never exiled. the tournament of elements wouldn't have happened because chen's not evil here. he'd be another of the ninja's senseis

stiix wouldn't be destroyed by the preeminent, morro wouldn't have escaped the cursed realm to free her because he was never SENT to the cursed realm, as he's still alive.

meaning djinnjago wouldn't have been destroyed and nadakhan wouldn't have a reason to want revenge against the ninja.

actually, it's another 50/50 shot of him even being freed from the teapot to start with.

and the realm crystal might not even be uncovered by the ninja in this altered timeline. they'd have no reason to go looking for the fsm's tomb, or the scroll of airjitzu, because again, morro's alive and on their side.

meaning cole never becomes a ghost

meaning the whole departed rift thing might not happen

in fact, the haunted temple would not only still be haunted but it wouldn't be floating in the sky for reasons i still haven't figured out

wait

if lloyd never unleashed the serpentine (because they were never 'leashed in the first place) then he would never be captured by pythor, meaning wu has no reason to go looking for garmadon in the realm of madness

...

sure, maybe he'd find his way back to ninjago through that freaky glowing blue mountain, but...

no great devourer, the ninja never trust him with the golden weapons

huh

my id still hasn't come in the mail

i even did the math subtracting weekends and that's still 15 days

they said it'd be here in 14

i leave for my trip sunday

i'd rather not go across country without a valid id

i wrote seeya's husband beeya to be a carpenter in my notes

because if that man heard that morro was SCRIPTED TO DIE and end up in the cursed realm he would 100% lose his cool and it'd be entirely warranted

henry hilltop, a 17 year old drug dealer who wally meets after william's death.

i'm not 100% sure if he'll ACTUALLY appear but i was thinking wally ends up in jail temporarily after leaving the hospital (after losing his eye) because william was a VERY influential "man of the church" poor wally is arrested for murder (it's obviously later declared self-defense at trial)

henry is caught dealing and is thrown in the same temporary cell as wally. he mistakes wally for a little kid at first but is corrected.

meeting wally actually ends up being the thing that puts henry off drug dealing after learning that wally's own father had been poisoning him with opium laced painkillers and wally almost died because of it.

wally and henry end up becoming friends. wally is the first adult (and i use adult loosely) to actually listen to henry about his problems and NOT preach religion at him.

fancy darling is a reba reference
