Whatever you say, dude

I wonder why a little purple creature was escaping the caves of shintaro [aka. my friend and I were watching master of the mountain and I was like "dude what if geo was Mr. Sparkles". Another crack theory] [context under the cut]

today is my birthday! 🫶

this is actually inspired by a fic description i saw but have not read yet, so basically; post-canon jingyi who starts to doubt his position and purpose on the sect, but then the time finally comes were gusu lan starts noticing an absence of options for sect heir. although sizhui should be a good— if not perfect, choice, it's either 1) the elders are against a wen child taking over as SL + he's not a clan member by blood, or 2) sizhui doesn't wish to be anchored and become sect leader because he wants to explore the world outside cloud recesses.

automatically, hanguang-jun won't even be an option even though he has the rights as the sect leader's brother. but seriously who would think that hanguang-jun would even accept that role?

anyway.

so those are the hopefully reasonable excuses to make this AU work, and why sizhui will be unavailable for the position. and so, one night, a conflicted sizhui— and THOUGH there were two options, i already imagined that sizhui would be against taking the sect leader role from the start— opens up to jingyi about it and it gave jingyi an IDEA. full on ‘urethra! 😀☝️’ moment bro.

coming back to the ‘jingyi concerning his purpose on the sect’ and being lowkey insecure due to his UnLan–Lan™ reputation; jingyi had the most unbelievable thought.

‘i could be a sect leader for fun or something— i can volunteer on sizhui’s behalf. if i were to miraculously be accepted as sect heir/leader, sizhui could be free of responsibility and it could ease his burden. he won't be anchored to gusu lan. convincing the others to let him go and live like a rogue cultivator will be difficult, but hanguang-jun and zewu-jun can vouch for him. it won't be just for him, it would also be for me.’

and that’s where jingyi started PLOTTING. aaaannnddd i have no more other detailed thoughts about that.

i've been thinking about this for awhile now because i am such a sucker for jingyi and the jingyi-centered fics in ao3 are not enough and i need more thousands of them.

this is so serious to me guys i just found the concept BEAUTIFUL and although my heart wishes to write a fic about it, i’m too damn lazy and i don’t have the time and motivation for it 💔 i guess i'd just keep the epic scenes i made up in my mind for myself for now 🤸‍♀️

okay so remember when i said that i no more detailed thoughts after that? i lied. i have more. specifically during jingyi’s leadership. and maybe, MAYBE, this could be heavily ooc due to my bias and appreciation for jingyi. you are free to listen to more of my rants and thoughts about this!

(a hint of zhuiyi? platonic, romantic? up to you hehe.) anyway, i pictured that jingyi was in that phase wherein he’s experiencing an existential crisis when he became sect leader. although he probably shouldn't have taken such a vital role when he's still trying to figure things out, he couldn't resist and WANTED to do something for sizhui. sizhui had been such a responsible person for so long, and jingyi knows it's slowly taking a toll on him. as childhood friends, he had helped jingyi so much, and he wanted to pay him back by giving sizhui a choice, freedom.

yeah, jingyi's still such a mess and yet to set his own goals. and yet, he volunteered anyway. (and is such an act not already a motion worth of a sect leader?)

SO. i do not have a clear blueprint for the plot yet, and i'm struggling to write down my thoughts because there is so many! however, take note that:

jingyi does NOT half-ass work that he knows will have significant impact. ↓

even though first-time-leader jingyi has no experience or formal sect heir training, jingyi doesn't slack off to things that really matter.

he hates political/conference meetings though.

jingyi made sure he led with his heart and sense of justice and righteousness. with his wei-qianbei's stories about the jianghu and more detailed explainations about the reality of the sects and sect politics, jingyi is more open-minded and wishes to LEAD instead of control the people.

jingyi heard stories about his wei-qianbei's life in the streets and investigated deeper regarding the life of the strays and the beggars. safe to say that jingyi had established multiple orphanages along with a few certain sect leaders (ahem, jin ling and zizhen).

those orphanages gives chance for those who stayed and lived under it to discover and hone skills, which can be used to find jobs and works to provide opportunities. (safe to say that people—especially children— who grew under this orphanages are heavily grateful to jingyi)

jingyi is that type of sect leader who personally checks issues within his territory, no matter how major or minor— whenever he has time. it helps to form connections, improve reputation, and acquiring information personally. (it more than improves his reputation, everyone adores him. imagine xichen, but more genuine, sorry lan zhongzhu.)

have i mentioned that he developed polearm arts and voice cultivation along the way? maybe not, the roots of my polearm jingyi was during a fateful day when i thought about how hot and sexy raiden ei fought that one guy from the commission during her story quest and imagining jingyi perform it. that was it. it was the start of me thinking thoughts about jingyi using a long ranged weapon. and about the voice cultivation, ooh boy. i thought we all agreed jingyi would definitely be a voice cultivator? and i hc jingyi has a good singing voice so.

and. here's the last one. probably. how can i explain this clearly? basically, jingyi used a different method to implement and teach the sect's history and rules to the sect, in a way that he taught them to respect the rules, but not be heavily reliant for one's moral codes. he saw how the previous teachings affected hanguang-jun, he saw how the previous teachings affected zewu-jun. errrm, something something like, ‘acknowledging and respecting the ancestors' will and legacy, but do not let it be the main thing that will cause your doom’ OR WHATEVER. think about that time when cangse took revenge on qiren because he had prioritized following the rules that almost cost jiang fengmian and wei changze's life. jingyi could use an example like this, how sometimes there would be moments where you are forced to let go and break the rules, or when the time would come where not even the rules could help you with your choices. ↓

he modified the curriculum, handpicks and inspected the teachers' skills and capabilities; making sure they are all focused into developing and assisting the students' improvement. made sure they used effective teaching methods that won't bore them out yada yada. he personally thinks that there's nothing .. bad about their current methods. but there are areas for improvement. this will be good, for the students, and the sect.

furthermore if jay had ANY indication jon reciprocated, he would shoot jon dead, and it would NOT because he was "jealous".

“I never realized…just how young you were.”

“I never realized…just how young you were.”

The Elemental masters are like gods (basing this on Greek mythology) where the most prominent elements are the ‘Olympians’. Those being Kai, Nya, Cole, Zane, Jay, Euphrasia (wind would be important and Morro is dead), and Lloyd as the King of the Gods

The other elemental masters take the places of other gods, each with their own dominion, Skylor being the Goddess of Mimicry and Feasts, for example.

Wu and Garmadon take the place of the Titans (older than the gods and stronger), minus the eating-their-kids part.

And also: some non-elemental characters that would be cool for the au (and Morro)

Harumi being a witch who could perform resurrections

Morro being the ferryman to the Underworld who has to track down Harumi’s resurrections

Dareth

Ronin claiming to be a messenger of the gods and telling people what the gods want them to do

Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3

Lloyd: No offense, but you are the cause of like 90% of my problems.

FSM: Don’t worry, I’m also the cause of 90% of my problems as well.

Lloyd: So like what’s the deal with misogyny? How’d it happen? 

Lloyd: *squints suspiciously* it’s not your fault right?

FSM: I left humanity unsupervised for 3 centuries and I came back and women had no rights.

Lloyd: No but seriously, how old where you when you created Ninjago?

FSM: Hmm, I was around this tall *Holds hand to his waist*

Lloyd: Okay that's concerning, but like, how old where you in years?

FSM: I would have been around the equivalent of an eight-year-old human.

Lloyd: Okay that's really concerning, but how many years had passed since you were born?

FSM: Oh, I don't actually know how old I am in years. My parents died before I can remember, and no one else knew I was alive until I told them.

Lloyd: ... I'm sorry?

FSM: Don't be, it worked out it the end

FSM: Sort of.

Lloyd: So, just to be polite, what are your pronouns?

FSM: My what? Isn't that the name for descriptive words?

Lloyd: No, that's adjectives. Pronouns words to refer to people as like he, she, they.

FSM: Oh yes, I know those, but what do you mean 'what are my pronouns?'

Lloyd: Um, you know, how do you want to refer to you.

FSM: Whatever you wish Lloyd. It has never bothered me. To be perfectly honest, I had a lot of trouble with gendered pronouns when I first learnt they existed.

FSM, thinking: Not 'it', however.

Like are we still on the Ras x Lloyd drill????

Cause what if they have so much homoerotic tension thats some people start to assume they are a freaky gay couple, who fights as part of foreplay

And then this rumour just spreads, people start writting articles, making conspiracy theories about it

Now let's teleport to the Spectral Lands. What if Morro is not the only inhabitant? What if our dear Lord Garmadon came back to his senses? What if he became a chaotic fusion of sensei & lord self, something like him in early seasons (just a centuries old theater kid)

And he spawns there, starts vibing there. Maybe he can't leave for some reason, either a spell or any other means PHYSICALLY disabiling him from leaving Ninjago's equevalent of hell

Maybe he tries to find any news on the ninja, especially his son

AND THEN Morro brings him a newspaper??

AND THERE'S AN ARTICLE TITLED " ARE THE LEGENDARY GREEN NINJA & DARK WARLORD RAS DATING?" with the most gay image from their fights attached

And Garmadon reads VERY carefully through the whole article. And then he nearly sets the whole room in flames

Oh no he's not angry at Lloyd. No of course he isn't dissapointed & he is NOT homophobic like wtf.

He is DEEPLY concerned though.

Lloyd is a young, passionate, kind boy, who is VERY trusting. & just look at this Lord Ras! He looks like the most evil being in the universe! What if he hurts Lloyd? Worse, what if he ends up coaxing his boy into a relationship & then betrays him?? What if he traps him an an abusive partnership?

Just imagine the amount of images swirling in g's head. And he finds a solution to this

Lord Ras has to be neutralised (read as: killed)

Morro is like: uncle, i think you might be overreacting-

Garmadon retorts: oh you are one to talk when you took away my son's free will and traumatised him

Morro just shuts up at this

And then Lord Ras endures at least 2 assasination attemps weekly for the next 6 month
