Hellspawn's birthdays throughout the seasons/years?

1st birthday

pre s4

Sensei G's monastery

unfortunately, it wasn't really a good one, because Zane wasn't there — we all know why :( — and the team was pretty much a split up mess. It was fortunate the other three at least made an effort to show up, but it really felt like there was something missing.

Kai bought his honorary niece some baby hair clips — cuz hair is priority — and Lloyd sucks with his own hair, so he's trying to help the kid out.

Nya, on the other hand, was like "I'm gonna turn this kid into a future builder" so she got her some blocks.

Cole and Jay each got her an onesie...the same one. (sigh) They ended up bickering about it during the entire party.

Sensei G and Misako gave her a stuffed dragon that... looks familiar to Lloyd in a way. Wu just nods at Lloyd knowingly.

Meanwhile Lloyd wanted to make her first birthday as special as possible even though he knew she wouldn't remember it so he made her a mini version of his gi. Sadly, it didn't take long for her to grow out of it and that gave Lloyd some grief....well, lots of grief.

2nd birthday

This one was shortly after Stiix

a whole lot better than the first. They celebrated on the bounty

Zane was there (Yay!), and baked the cake. He (and Pixal) also got her some of those sortable shape toys to exercise brainpower. Nya just says it's because no one wants hellspawn to get Lloyd's iq and... Pixal agrees.

Lloyd bought her some finger paints...which she loved so much that she used them on his hair and face. Her excuse was that Unca' Zane had taught her that paper was bad for trees so naturally, she decided to go for another green source.

Jay got her another version of Mister Cuddlywomp, while Cole showed up with a toy piano — his dad's idea, actually. "Introducing kids to music at a young age is a great way to encourage brain development"...(and turn them into musicians, goes unsaid)

Once again, Kai was like "my niece better be stylish and not have little gremlin Lloyd's horrible taste" and got her a leather jacket — toddler size, of course. This guy even brought some sunglasses and a hat. Nya thinks it looks ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Nya came with some bath toys — which she designed herself to be durable enough against the strong waves of the sea. (She's still not over her new Master of Water status)

Misako got her a book full of children's stories — maybe a collection of legends would be more accurate. She's the historian of the family for a reason.

Dareth gave her a mini plushie of himself and she kept pointing out how much the plushie's eyebrows don't even look anything like his real ones.

3rd birthday

some time before Day of the Departed

on the destiny's bounty

Hellspawn wanted to learn airjitzu but that was quickly out of the question — she's too young. And for FSM's sake, she hasn't even learned spinjitzu yet. So that was instantly a no.

So, Misako was like: just do what your father did with you. He didn't listen to me, but you turned out just fine — I still do not understand how you even turned out just fine!

Which was why Lloyd decided to put her on his shoulders and spin around until they were both surrounded by green. Mission accomplished.

But it is only that he realizes that he'd forgotten the fact she'd just eaten some of the cake earlier and has the stomach of a nauseous toddler. Too bad it's too late to do anything. Lloyd ended up needing a shower shortly after that. Jay got a picture :(

4th birthday

pre s8

The apartment Lloyd was stuck living in during the year they were looking for Wu.

Dareth decided that she was already old enough to learn a 'sacred' karate move he personally invented. After learning it, she ran to use it on Lloyd.

Misako couldn't show up because she was too far away, but the others managed to come. Except Nya, but she still joined via face time and sent a parcel.

Lloyd made a cake himself instead of relying on Zane and it actually turned out to be edible. Kai was wondering if they'd entered the apartment of an imposter.

But actually, Skylor helped. So yes, the real Green Ninja has not been kidnapped by aliens. Lloyd can be trusted living on his own. A new invasion isn't coming, So Kai, stop setting chopsticks on fire, Nya can't save your ass—

5th birthday

At the monastery, post MoTo

Unfortunately, there's a reason Garmadon isn't here (I've added it in that post about how the ninja managed to take care of hellspawn)

That morning, Wu finds a strange package left outside, with a note that just says Happy Birthday in messy, familiar handwriting. He knows very well who it's from and opens the package to find a plushie of a plant...an unusual choice from someone like him.

Wu then just lies that it's a gift from a fan and the ninja believe him. So Lloyd lets hellspawn have it.

He ends up despising the gift during Crystalized. 😭

6th birthday

pre s13

celebrated in kindergarten. Which Jay jokes was merely done because Lloyd doesn't want their presence.

But actually, Lloyd does. Because he's getting too many stares and questions from the other kids and he's only doing this because hellspawn wanted to after she saw her classmate do something like this. They celebrated again at the monastery hours later.

And Lloyd gets to meet the boy hellspawn made immediate friends with and finally has confirmation that he's being overprotective over nothing.

Gotta love the fact this is Lego's way of saying think twice before getting a tattoo.

I'm sorry, but I just cannot take season 7 seriously no matter how hard I try. The writing and dialogue always feel so clunky and boring that I can never truly find myself invested in it. The only positive of this season is the Time Twins, but even they feel messily written at times! The animation also doesn't help at all, it always feels too "glossy", for lack of a better term.

ALSO, I have a deeply rooted hatred for "The Attack", mainly because the way Machia gets the Time Blade is because Lloyd waves them in the air for too long. That makes no sense to me but whatever.

Idk, I wanna hear your guys' opinions on this season actually! Do you guys hate or love it, or are you mixed on it? Let me know! I'd love to hear how you guys view it!

Headcannon Cliff Gordon had auburn hair like Jay but dyed his hair black to play Fritz Donnegan.

Wilted... 👀👀👀

A.k.a an attempt at writing dysfunctional Lloyd & Misako content 🤣.

This takes place some time after Prime Empire. The ninja begin noticing that Lloyd's been acting a little off for the past few days, and he's a lot more distant than usual. Nya immediately assumes that he's hiding the fact he's sick or something but when she checks on him, she soon realizes that he isn't. Kai and Cole try talking to him as well, but Lloyd keeps assuring them that he's fine—that he's just tired and every other unbelievable excuse in the book. Jay suggests to the others that the kid might've had a secret break up that none of them know about, while Zane & Pixal decide to do some detective work.

Eventually, it spirals into Lloyd actually losing control of his powers — something that really takes the team by surprise because this hasn't happened ever since Lloyd was literally a child. (It's kind of like what happened to Nya in the beginning of Seabound, but just replace Water with Energy) That means flickering lights, breaking bulbs, exploding toasters, blowing up transformers and Lloyd himself being more exhausted than ever because most of his power is unintentionally being used in excess. It's around this time everyone realizes that there's something seriously wrong.

Of course, when they ask green bean about it, Lloyd keeps denying it and says that maybe it's because he hasn't been training with his powers that much recently. Everyone around him knows that's pure bull, because 1) how on Earth does an Elemental Master who spent years mastering their element suddenly forget how to control it, and 2) it's Lloyd talking. Even Wu's already had enough with his nephew at this point, and sternly tells him to stop playing games with the team because this was clearly serious. There's even a moment when Wu loses his patience by threatening to strip him of his element with Chronosteel if he doesn't explain at all, but Lloyd still doesn't tell him.

However, the ninja really have to do something about his powers blowing up every nearest electrical appliance so they make the decision to put a vengestone bracelet around his wrist that he himself can't remove. This pisses Lloyd off so much, but at the end of the day, it was definitely necessary. And considering that green bean's still not saying anything, it's gonna be a long time until they'll take it off because they can't solve his issue right now.

So this goes on for a while until Nya suggests something that just might work; finding Neuro. (Honestly, you would've thought this would be the first thing they would've thought off) The ninja and Wu waste no time doing this, and soon, they find out what's going on.

Needless to say, it's something that is definitely the most unexpected, but at the same time, it's not surprising.

So apparently Lloyd has some unresolved abandonment issues with Misako which have recently worsened for reasons they do not know yet. And yeah...she isn't here right now either.

Kai & the others aren't really happy with Misako after finding out about this, while Wu is kind of in denial because he thinks Misako's been quite present after reuniting with Lloyd in the museum. It takes him a while to realize that the answer is actually... no, just no.

So unbeknownst to Lloyd, the ninja & Wu start trying to get hold of Misako to get her to come back to the monastery. That's easier said than done by the way, but after a while, they manage to do it. They don't tell her about what they found out from Neuro though.

As for Lloyd, he's like really surprised that his mother finally came home after like...(2 seasons) And he's also not stupid either. They all know — that's why she's here — it's as simple as that. The ninja don't admit it when Lloyd confronts them, which frustrates him. Thankfully, Wu interrupts the argument and tells Lloyd to make the most out of what his friends have done for him by finding Misako, and leaves. Lloyd utterly hates that.

Then the next few days are literally just the ninja trying to set up Lloyd with his mother. (Imagine your friends setting you up despite your protests, but instead of a date, it's bonding time with your parent) This goes on for like multiple chapters until Lloyd's powers go back to normal, and him and Misako have a relationship as close as the one he had with Garmadon.

And that's literally the wip.

My take on the Lloyd/Harumi arc (Ninjago s8-s9) (feel free to see this as more of an au idea)

(Because I thought the plot didn’t make too much sense as I detailed here)

Still think it would be interesting if Lloyd thought evil Harumi was hot. No idea how that would possibly work? Like it has the potential to be mega toxic. Or maybe Lloyd was just trying the old “the best way to defeat an enemy is to make them your friend”. Actually I think that would work really well because that did defeat the first son of Garmadon (s1 Lloyd). And it may just justify Harumi’s redemption

I just don’t want Lloyd to be as attached to her as he is in canon because mans really just met her 2 days ago, didn’t really know her, she kissed him like once and then was hung up over her for 3 seasons like man, shouldn’t he be used being betrayed by friends by now (snakes, pythor, his dad, his mum technically, technology, the tournament, the museum guy, the postman). Like this wasn’t anything new

Maybe he was a similar opinion to Nya when first meeting the royal family, that they’re cringe but develops a crush on Harumi when she thanked everyone personally, and instead of being “girl… 😃” he actively tried to deny he had any feelings because he took a look at LITERALLY EVERYONE in this series with their truck loads of relationship drama and went “no no I do not need that noise please omg I don’t need to feel this”. Like it would be funny. He saw a girl and now he’s going ballistic.

Then he kinda ignored it when her parents died because read the room

*lloyd and Harumi in the temple*

Harumi: I have a confession

Lloyd: me too! Let’s say it at the same time

Simultaneously: I’m actually the quiet one and I want to resurrect your evil dad // I’m in love with you

PLEASE IT WOULD BE FUNNY

And then she kidnaps him

While she’s walking him to the ritual he’s just *mimicking kai* “just tell her how you feel Lloyd! What’s the worst thing that could happen?”

At some point in s9 they’re alone fighting and while he’s still like “f u, you brought my dad back” she asks him tauntingly, why he liked her and he basically redoes his confession

And that he thinks that there’s genuinely good in her, that despite everything she cares for her found family (the SoG) and she’s just hurting. And that he knows what its like because he relates to her. He once felt backed in a hole, doing anything to make himself bigger. And he knows that deep down, she doesn’t want a dystopian Ninjago. She just wants to feel okay again.

And she’s like “… shut up” but really that’s what she needed to hear.

And that’s what we’re thinking off when she dies.

Also it ties into Lloyd’s arc of “finding his voice”

Also Garmadon doesn’t adopt Harumi. Or at least, he makes it clear that he does not care about her.

Harumi: I’ll be your daughter

Garmadon: if that’s the delusion you want to live, then so be it. But make no mistake, I no longer care for any child of mine

Harumi: …I’ll take it!
