#cable rants

Once I said as a joke that Lloyd was raised by only siblings and how that would impact his own ability to parent but I also meant that for real. Even if the oldest sibling is in charge that still doesn’t substitute for a parent, the relationship will always be different.

And Lloyd having no proper parental figure to show him how to act or handle a bunch of kids? He didn’t even have a childhood of his own, really, constantly put in charge of the world and of others, so how could he be expected not to continually ruin the childhood of these two? He doesn’t want that for those younger than him and who he now has to take care of but there is literally nothing else he knows. There is only so many times he can tell Arin to keep going before it gets too much and he has to tell this kid that Maybe It Just Wasn’t Meant To Be, meanwhile the other one, Sora, is following his footsteps almost perfectly— also bad, because by god he wants these children to be happy in their lives, but what can one do against Destiny at this point?

Things I am specifically worried about: these two titles paralleling each other in their structure

Because I think we all agree that Truth And Lies will be the episode where Arin gets told abt his failed Object Spinjitzu from the Blood Moon fight, so there would be no more lies after that right? But the second title suggests MORE secrets that are going to be tied in with the first one and these sandwiching Shattering Sword I justahagauAAAAAAA

I don’t know whether they are going to parallel season 4 with the whole spy/ traitor thing and it being unknown to us. What I think is far more likely is that we, the audience, will know exactly who this traitor is (Arin) and that he’s the one who has to try his best to keep it a secret that he’s sabotaging the ninja (kinda like an eye-for-an-eye situation with him also keeping a secret.)

Alternatively this could be about Jay, but I’m too tired to get into that right now

I came here because I just wanna say...

HOW DARE PEOPLE — I want to know more about your green cousins AU! (I know it's not called that ;-;) I thought people show interest. Am I taking what you said too seriously? You said:

“I don't care if people don't want to know more about this AU, I'm still going to talk about it anyways.”

and you know what? That's the spirit >:)

I want more PLSSSS I'm so curious about this AU! I admit that I'm not a big Morro fan specifically — I still love him though! And the AU's he is in :D Your art is Awesome too by the way! I want to know Lloyd and Morro's dynamic AHHH their relationship PLSSSS

FDBSHUBJIN THANK YOU ASGAHSBHBH

I read this and literally became so happy what the heck. Okay, well. First off, I wasn’t expecting people to really care about this au, no, especially not my random manic rambles. But now, second off: obligatory doodles and art.

I think the most important thing to note is that they are both brats, even if Morro is an adult by the time the show starts— He is an *asshole*!! (/affectionate)

Now. In my head I have it that Morro moves out of the monastery at some point because he’s sick and tired of being around Wu (who at this point begins training Lloyd and other students as well), so he just. nopes the hell outta there. Gets himself a little apartment, yeah. Lloyd goes to “visit him unannounced” sometimes (breaking into said apartment).

For some reason I’ve decided to make Wu really strict? Like, he doesn’t allow Lloyd (neither allowed this for Morro btw) to go out and hang out with other people are try new things unless he’s with him— so obviously Lloyd goes to Morro for when he craves a burger or just wants to hang out in the city without hawk eye supervision. And, like. Morro has a motorbike. What 8 year old doesn’t want to ride on a motorbike with their estranged older cousin? (Another part I shamelessly ripped off from Jason Todd 😔)

More old art (the last one being the oldest traditional art I could find this being all the way back from… uhhhhh… July of last year):

The gist is. Lloyd is really confused as to why Morro is so distant so obv the only viable solution as being to annoy the shit out of him by continuously showing up at his doorstep.

Morro just wants to try and have a normal life without being constantly reminded that he’s a failure, but sadly he still cares for this little brat (and Wu of course, but no one tell him I said that). Half of his monthly wages are spent on buying Lloyd dino nuggies and random shitty toys that he sees in market stores. They also do pranks together. Oh so many pranks.

And Wu is just trying to figure out why tf his students keep not listening to him and disappearing (it would probably help if he stopped being a Bit of An Asshole (he is mostly concerned that they will do something stupid like he did as a child, so he compensates by keeping them tight under locks)).

(Also, just fyi, usually every new line means a new thing is on screen, I sometimes paused to write out my reaction and then proceeded)
