I'd Like To Think That Kai Used To Be A Shy Kid

Im in some sort of depression slump right now

I dont know what im doing, he probably does tho

I can't be the only one who acts like this:

THE WRITERS BEEN COOKING LATWLY LETS FUXKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey ninjablr are we talking about this thing??? i would like to talk about this thing

IMMEDIATELY noticed that top marking resembles "K" in Ninjargon, OR:

HIM.

Now at first I wasn't sure if that was intentional, given the added line at the bottom and the other symbol- but then I realized what the bottom shape reminded me of, having watched the Monstrosity trailer before Season 3 Part 1.

THIS? Like a very stylized version of this centipede-thing's face? Maybe?? The top symbol could also be the Fire Mech guy instead of Kai (whats with all the K's in the Land of Monsters I have so many concerns seriously)

The other shorts between season releases (What the Mech?/Wyldfyre Shorts) added some minor details to the following episodes (Kronosteel mechs/Wyldfyre character development) so if my theory holds up, maybe the Land of Monsters will have some relevance to the main plot? I'm not sure. Either way that is a Very Important Rock (in the land of Lost Things no less?) and I'm looking forward to the Lore.

This was him after going through the most traumatic event of his life btw

Soooooo in love with @pisha's forbidden five!Kai au (which is so insanely cool and awesome and like the art??? Hello literally masterpieces) that I scoured ao3 for 2 hours to find a fic. I found one. Literally there's just one. One singular fic and I am so scared to read it because once I finish it I'll be inclined to write my own. Oh no, what have I gotten myself into this time

Kai after he gets home, looking in the mirror and just. Practicing.

His smile. His laugh. His quips. Practicing how to seem like himself so Lloyd doesn’t worry.

Monstrosity is really recontextualizing that Kai and Lloyd reunion in everyone's minds, huh?

Like now I can't help but imagine that the two of them just stood hugging each other like that for a really long time, neither of them saying a word, because Lloyd was so incredibly lonely and of course was overjoyed to have his big brother back, but then he notices that Kai is holding him just a tiny bit tighter than normal and maybe even trembling a bit, and from Kai's pov he's not giving anything away about how close he is to breaking down as the reality washes over him that he finally has one of his loved ones back, because it's Lloyd and he always has to be strong for him, he can't have him worry about him, but Lloyd notices anyway that something is wrong and let's him hold him a bit longer, knowing Kai won't tell him anything about what he's gone through to make him seek comfort like this but wanting to give it to him anyway because it's the least he can do for the one who always protected him.

I admit that I rarely check my activity tab and notes, but really??

What???? 196 notes????

The post itself isn't even good (in my opinion) and my theory for the centipede mural has changed very drastically. This post is now inaccurate. Now terminating

No hate to those who actually like it!! I'm just being silly because I'm high on caffeine and it is 1:30 am!!!

Oh my fuck.

It's a loop. And the masters of fire are in the middle of it.

You can see at the start that the centipede eats who I assume is a fire elemental, who then goes through a cycle to become one of the centipedes. Then, right below it, you can see a cluster of EGGS that look eerily similar to the ones inside the centipede. Basically:

Centipede: Eat

Person: become centipede

Personpede: lay egg

Egg: become person

Repeat

Imagine Kai, after finding this out, just looks at his hands and arms and face.

And sees a monstrosity.

Me too girl me too
