#poor kai

dammit people

i love you jaya but i i lost count of how many times i re watched this scene (too many)

A little, barely formed antennae, pincers on his mouth or some other insect-related thing somewhere on his body.

Basically, during his stay in this freakish, bug infested realm, he starts developing those insect traits. He starts to literally become one. We all know that - that's what the fanarts are depicting after all, but...

Might I suggest something kinda... disturbing?

He wakes up one day and feels something on his mouth, or well, more specifically near the corner of his lip. He reaches his hand to feel and is horrified to feel something thin and quite frankly long protruding from his face

He retracts his hand in momentary fear. He's barely thinking as he reaches for the blade he has to see his reflection.

He positions the blade and is once again horrified to see a pincer that had most likely grown whilst he was asleep in the reflection.

So Kai is absolutely terrified, realising that the longer he stays here, then more of these mutations will grow.

The realm is not only forcing him to battle these bugs and fight for another day. It's changing him both mentally and now physically.

Kai panics. He has to endure so much. He's slowly losing his sanity, and now his body!? He couldn't let this happen. He can't allow himself to succumb to the realms workings. He has to somehow stop this or at least postpone the transformation.

An idea strucks him, though he immediately shudders. It's not going to be pretty. He's going to have to build up some confidence and psych himself up.

SERIOUSLY- SOMEONE GRAB A DOCTOR-!

AAAAAAAA @lloyd-garmadon-offical LLOYD THEYRE FORCE FEEDING ME CHEMUCALS HELPPPP

Lloyd: oh, hey Nya. What a lovely . . . trident. Did you get that polished recently?

Nya: what do you want?

Lloyd: please there's a giant cockroach in the hallway and I didn't see it until I almost stepped on it and I can't go in my room because it's right in front of the doorway hELP PLEASE.

Yknow- we all know that one scene with Kai trying to barter for a lower price and just ended up making it higher right?

So I’ve been thinking maybe he’s actually only used to bartering for higher prices instead of lowers ones because he had to do that while he was the only one managing the Blacksmith shop and having to raise Nya from such a young age while he himself was so young-

Ong baby Kai had to learn when to spot thieving bastards early on I order to make a living 😭

He would have wanted to make the most money he could have, not the least-

Thinking of it makes his childhood (nonexistent as it is) that much sadder cuz he had to learn things like that so early just to make a living-

No words. Just processing.
