three — brotp) honestly? fuck chen not caring ahout clouses snake, they were best friends >:(

hes too much of a hermit for me to give him an actual friendship and i refuse to torment garm like that ok shush (/j) anyway friendships with animals are valid and ill die on the hole fight me

four — notp) uhh,,, time twins x chen or any variety of the sort

how does one explain without seeming like an anti hmm. basically: i dont ship the twins with anyone, and it interferes with magicnoodle, and makes me a little teeny bit uncomfy at the same time

five — first hc that pops in my head) he might be an egotistical, power hungry dumbass but he does care about the people around him

ok not everyone cab be heartless especially spending your time around a few people your whole life. except skylor, she can keep her childhood trauma, but for once give me chen carinf about clouse because canon denied me this

we couldnt be more different honeslty but uh. snakes my beloved

seven — something the gives me second hand emberrassment) honestly any time chen laughs

or tries to be funny in general i guess. his jokes are so,,,,, fucking bad its honestly not funny anymore LMAO

That’s Chen and Clouse. Sure Chen is ACTUALLY an evil mastermind (is evil mastermind a career?) but plays a senile self centered man child and Clouse is ridiculously devoted to him beyond all human reason. If it weren’t for the noodle empire guaranteed Clouse would have to leave pizza pockets with cooking instructions whenever he was away and then Chen would find a way to catch the microwave on fire.

Yeah it’s messed up really.

Garmadon’s been around over a thousand years, practically making him older than any of the flings we know of so he probably knows what he likes.

Like his Oni part of consciousness, he likes the power any of his flings/mates hold. He doesn’t mind the strength and fight that happens. Just means stronger young for Oni or a fight for dominance over others.

And the dragon part of the brain would mean he didn’t mind the multiple partners thing, if dragons thought more like real life lizards instead of birds. Basically just a come and go in order to not die out. Also dragons would probably find someone more fitting for the lifelong mate thing anyway if any hatchlings were strong out of that one and only the one. (So basically when Garm split from Misako after so long, it messed him up bad and Krux had to make sure he didn’t do anything... drastic.)

What he does mind however, is the fact that Clouse was absolutely pissed at him for taking Chen’s attention away from him with so much ease. And Clouse had to work for that attention for the longest time. That’s honestly one of the reasons why Clouse didn’t like the Master of Amber either. Even though she didn’t become Chen’s wife in my canon, she still managed to get him away for a while.

The whole ‘Lord’ title tore apart what could’ve happened. Arguments were thrown back and forth until they became physical. A few times, they were shoving each other around. Sometimes, they left with cuts and bruises. Other times, there was a broken bone or something fractured, if not any furniture or equipment broken. It was a constant fight for dominance, if not at times for survival. (That’s not exactly healthy if a relationship somehow came out of that.)

It got worse after Clouse threw him off completely one time and Garm just wasn’t having it anymore and his monster form almost straight up broke him, if it weren’t for Clouse using magic at the second to last moment.

Garmadon leaves after that and when Clouse saw that Garm just jumped from him to Krux, seeing how far Krux was falling apart and becoming pretty boy putty in Garmadon’s hands, oh ho ho! He was absolutely all for hurting them from the inside out. (Clouse: Alright Garm.. You wanna play around like that? Fine. Let’s fucking play.)

Years later, Clouse already grew back closer to Chen, refusing to leave him, because at least Chen didn’t bounce around between people as Garm did back then and he was actually there to talk him through a lot and they’d at least comfort one another where Garm wouldn’t.

Edit: The tension between them wasn’t old affections, because that wasn’t there to begin with. It was remembering what they both did to one another. Garmadon was guilty for quite a bit mostly about losing his mind to his destructive Oni half right on him before they separated and he still was guilty afterwards. Meanwhile Clouse hadn’t let go of the hate for him that he brewed inside and still had the scars to prove it.

Chen thought it differently and got it confused for a short while before hearing Clouse insist on not leaving them alone together. (“Master.. please don’t do that again... don’t leave me alone with him..” “... Alright. If you didn’t like it, then I won’t.” “...You promise, Master?” “Clousey, I may be a villain but I at least take care of my followers first before anyone else.. especially you, my mage man.” “.. Even though you’re trying to favor that other Elemental Master?” “Pshh.. They come and go, this is just a phase for me, but hey, at least you stayed. Isn’t that something, Clousey?” “.. Yeah.. it is..”)

Yeah, Ray and him are friends by now and they were fine with moving on.

Krux of course is still upset but also still trying not to fall back to him.

Chen? Oh boy. Quite a scandal. Not exactly much of a relationship. It was more like this. “See Garmadon. I don’t mind if you and Clousey have play dates, but just know whatever is his is also mine too. And vice versa. We agreed on that a while before you came around... So if you’re his, then you’re mine too. It’s simple.” Maybe a codependency. And yeah he would be the type to think Garmadon’s the one that missed out.

Now Clouse? Yeah, to him, it’s embarrassing. He was actually bitter that Garmadon came in and just took Chen’s attention away from him so easily after he worked so hard under him for so long. He was always fighting him and somehow somewhere along the way there was hate sex and Clouse accidentally found out about Garm’s feral Dragon-Oni tendencies and well... it didn’t end too well.

The two just carried so much tension in the Tournament of Elements Chen could’ve cut through it. (Even though Chen didn’t appreciate Garmadon almost breaking his mage man and he wasn’t looking for a repeat, despite trying to set them up a few times. Chen only stopped when Clouse said to.)

Even during season 4, Garmadon’s wondering “why the hell did you stay with Chen? You knew he was crazy.” And Clouse just retaliates “I know but at least he isn’t crazy enough to jump partners and in between relationships. You’d know all about that.”
