monstrosity kai vs prime empire kai avatar concept art
Welcome to Tumblr stranger!!!!
Joined Tumblr right as the Ninjago Monstrosity trailer dropped….my fyp is already ROTTED💀
Inspired by this post lmao
🐜: srksrkkksrksrrk.
Kai, crouching: What?!?! She said that?!??! No, you're joking.
🐜: srrkskrsrkkrksssrk, sksrkskkskrkkk!!!!!
Kai: Wait, she might've been a bitch but you can't say that. You're a bug. And I don't think the f word is something bugs can say–
Nya steps on the ant: Kai, why are you crouching?
Kai, horrified: NOOOOO DIANAA!!!!!
Nya: Uh, Kai???
Kai, dialing back: Y-you stepped on the ant! What did she ever do to you?!?! She even made sure to stay out of your food whenever you dont finish it!!!
Nya, half asleep: ...I'm gonna go now and check on Jay. You, uh, continue whatever it is you're doing.
Kai: She was the queen bee!! Or, queen ant? But no, there's already a queen ant... anyway, you've incurred the wrath of her clique. I can't save you this time, sis. Just know I warned you.
Nya: Kai, eat some breakfast. Now.
(For the next few days, Nya would get 3x as many ant bites as normal)
🪱: ghlhgllhllgghlglhlghh...
Kai, holding 🪱 in fear of the diane situation happening again: Yeah, I know. Hopefully, she's learned her lesson by now. Ants never let things go.
🪱: ghslhshshghlhgghlglhlg.
Kai: Oh right, how's your furniture decorating coming along? The housing crisis in the monastery garden is hell right now. Heard it from Fuschia.
Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug Bug
Making a list of Kai / Zane quotes that sound like they're out of a fanfiction.
Thinking about how Zane just came up with a plan to gain the trust of the Sons of Garmadon, that involved letting Cole get captured. (Yes, in case it wasn't clear, it was part of this plan to get Cole to sing and put on the "wrong song" to get the spotlight on him.)
And the best part of that plan was... Zane had no plan for rescuing Cole. Zane, the calculating machine, didn't bother to map out an escape plan for Cole. He just fully believed that Cole would be able to escape on his own.
And you know what? Cole did escape on his own, using nothing but his own wit and strength (and terrible singing). And he never bore a grudge against Zane for using him and putting him in danger without even telling him first.
These guys just have 1000% trust in one another and I am here for it.
asrik please SHUT UP /pos it's 2am where I'm at rn I do not need to be crying over legos .I'm busy looking at the bug boy this was extremely uncalled for
Everyone’s talking about how Kai was all happy in Dragons Rising the whole time after what we learnt he goes through in Monstrosity, which is set before DR season 1. I have also talked about how Kai is sm sillier and happy despite all that and theorised it was a mask.
But have we considered how it’s another clear example as to how the ninja are so desensitised to their suffering? How they quickly move on?
Please we need to recognise how they’re slowly becoming less affected by each horrible situation GUYS CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING
hey bro writing a thing. watchu think about the curse of centipede/bug but its the result of a promise that couldn't be kept. a failed promise, if you will.
what if kai takes on the promise, and its one that will kill him by the end of it all?

I like it a lot :) it's aaa very good idea :)) you should finish it :))) quickly :))))
Thriving over here
How it feels to be a Kai fan in 2025
.....
You little fuckers.
Oh my goodness gracious.
Im... genuinely speechless. I have no words, actually.
Thank you so much for 5k hits and 270 kudos?????? OK?????? Hello??????
That's like.. 270 actual people who read my stuff and LIKED it. That's crazy. Wow.
Im so grateful for this HOOOOOOO ok im tearing up wow. Thanks so much for the support on this wreck of a fic. I've had so much fun writing this and learned so many skills aswell. Seriously, thank you. Update coming soon. I think.
Do you think Kai took liberties when heading to the Monastery? Do you think he stood infront of a mirror making sure he looked and acted the same before the merge happened? Do you think he cracked more jokes and laughed too hard when he was with Lloyd? Do you think he quietly mumbles the names of the people who helped him leave the realm of monsters in fear of forgetting them? Do you think the reason he talks to himself more is because its become a habit for him? Do you think he was relieved when Nya broke them out of the fear vision, and that he really was back home? Do you think he got deja vu seeing rontu and egalt? Do you think he found the nether space comforting? Do you think the reason he was so calm during everything is because he was desensitized? Do you think he's okay?
Because I don't.
Im learning dragon anatomy wtf is going on
You hardcore started cooking with oddy!Kai I just imagine how Nia and Lloyd would be freaking out/worrying about Kai especially by his appearance and entrance
(Tips hat) Oh, why thank you, Anon! My brain has also become fried by this au. I can hear it sizzling.
Context here ok go read it first!!
THEY WOULD PANIC. HEAVILY. Imagine seeing your supposedly dead brother walk in with a dragon and a sentient mech while just being oddly violent out of nowhere, looking completely different—scars, darker outfit, flinchy—and Nya’s first reaction is pure shock before she goes into full panic mode. Lloyd’s trying to stay calm but he’s internally freaking out because Kai was his first sensei and now he’s like this?? looking like a very dirty feral cat??? It feels like the start of a bad pun.
Thanks so much for the ask! The worms rejoice!!
How many generations removed do you think the centipede fire master was from Kai? Where the fire master line (???) originally from this dying/dead world and eventually escaped or did he enter the world for a reason many questions I doubt will be answered but delight me anyway.
Oooooooh now this is a QUESTION
Im thinking like 1-2 generations before Ray, maybe some years after the fsm made ninjago and the other realms? Also, very much vining with the whole "Masters of fire originally came from the realm of monsters" theory, cause it makes sense.
Like, imagine the og master of fire chucking his only remaining kid to ninjago before he was eaten by the centipede monster, then the element of fire being past on to them after, then they get a partner and have Ray? I think it's a pretty solid theory. Also gives another reason why Kai struggled with unlocking his element and true potential.
Ah, but alas, it shall only be answered when June 12 arrives. Until then, we wait impatiently patiently
Thanks anon for this ask!!! I liked it a lot and I'm so sorry for the late answer!!
I don’t know how i haven’t realised until now but omg
Omg is that my art as your pfp
Im gonna squeeze you bro omg
(Wheezing) ok cAn you let me go now my vision is blurring
Needed me a pfp that differentiated myself among the other monstrosity pfps and... ur art... is crunchy :)
To celebrate my return from break (and to release my pent-up thoughts), I proudly present: Bie's ninja headcanons! 1 silly, 1 angsty LEZGO
Kai first!! (Because fucking duh have you seen my blog)
– Has a separate bathroom for all his skincare and haircare stuff. The team makes fun of him for it regularly, but whenever there's another time crunch mission or something extremely stressful in general, he always looks the best. Maybe some eyebags here and there, but other than that, he's glowing.
– His coping mechanism is self blame. Team falls apart? His fault. Mission accident? His fault. Ninja captured? His fault. Innocents hurt? His fault. His friends in actual fatal danger? HIS FAULT. He used to lash out at others because of this mindset, but now he just sits with himself while anxiously waiting for someone to tell him what to do (in fear of messing up things even more) it's what drove him to the sidelines during planning and battle, he's afraid his "reckless" attitude will jeopardize everything. (He doesn't acknowledge that he's gotten better. He doesn't acknowledge that most of his hotheadedness is a farce. He won't acknowledge that his fears are irrational.)
Zane aww the baby the dude the little awww
– Has been betrothed to Pixal for YEARS already. Like, shortly after s10. He saw Jays proposal, saw Pixal have a physical body, and it just clicked in his head that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with his other half. He was so touched that he spent hours sourcing the perfect yinyang pendant, planning everything to the tiniest, most insignificant detail, only for her to be the one to get down on one knee. He cried a little (a lot)
– Was so genuinely hurt and upset at the administration calling him "equipment." When he got back to the Monastery he instinctively tried to find his safe place (Pix), only for him to be absolutely crushed when he realized that she simply wasn't there. He drowned himself in analytics and background work simply because if he thought about it too much he'd have a breakdown. But he can't have that. He needs to find pixal, right?
Cole ceo of goober town
– Is an actual god at cooking now. Seriously, he can make anything taste Michelin quality with a handful of ingredients. He prefers baking, though, for obvious reasons.
– Was isolated from his peers while he was in school, solely because he fought a lot. Kids would run away from him, spread rumors, or try to avert his path on a daily basis. Faculty tried to contact his father whenever things would escalate, but he was too busy drowning in alcohol to pay attention to his sons education.
Nya!!!!
– Contrary to popular belief, Nya is absolutely a bigger hothead than Kai. On a bad day, you can sniffle, and she'd just go off on how unhygienic the monastery was and start spite-cleaning only for the others to offer to help out of pure fear. This is her way of getting out of chores. Kai is onto her but finds it so funny how everyone scrambles to keep her from exploding.
– Her first word was "Hungry." She knows this. When she asked Kai what her first word was out of curiosity, he lied and said it was "mom." She went to ignacia for a simple errand and that was when she found out. An old shopkeeper said he remembered a barely 4 year old girl with sunken cheeks point at his produce and babble "hnngry.. unggry." Now, when people ask what her first word was, she'll still say "Mom."
The Master of jig (Jay)
– LOVESSS his parents but hates to admit it. Not because he finds it embarrassing, but because his folks will not shut up about it even after months. He'll go, "Yknow I love you a lot, right ma, pa?" And they will throw a legitimate PARTY FOR IT. When the ninja found out about it, the teasing lasted for exactly 7 months.
– The only thing he remembers after the merge are calloused, wrinkly hands holding him like he's the most precious thing in the world. He doesn't know who, or why, but he's determined to find out.
Laloyd
– The softest, shiniest, bounciest hair you will ever feel. He has never touched a single hair product in his LIFE. It's been Kai's mission to ruffle that hair atleast twice a week ever since he did it back when they were younger.
– Has burned every single photo of him and his father together after the events of s10. Every time he's reminded of how much he aspired to be like him when he was younger he gets physically sick. He could never idolize someone like that. Who views lives like collateral damage. Never. Never again.
Im weirdly overjoyed 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 we love accidental representation
@theyaremanycolors ......
What the shit is wrong with you. What could have possibly possessed you to write this. Why. I was fine a minute ago. My dude. This was extremely uncalled for and honestly I'm offended. All pos but im still really fucking upset you know. Ouchie. That hurt right there in my chest.
Thinking about Kai's fighting style in the realm of monsters, and how creative he had to get whenever he was (on the rare occasions) fighting without Rusty or Daidan to help him.
All of those monsters are impossibly bigger than him, and he needs to use something to hoist himself up in order to actually reach the head and neck. Him using his fire to heat his soles so it sticks to the skin in a mess of boiling flesh. Using daggers to anchor himself repeatedly to go upwards, then finishing it quickly with a slash to the back of the neck and hoping it falls forward instead of backward.
Then when other monsters gather around the new corpse, littered in a linear pattern of scars and burns, all in a line, same as the other few, a rumor spreads among the half sentient monsters.
A giant centipede of fire and steel, some say.
It finds a victim and coils around it, using its hundreds of legs to constrict it before finishing off in one strike, one says in awe.
It never eats it prey, leaving it to rot on the ground instead to show dominance, another says to its mate.
Even with its size, it's never been seen. It burrows underneath the ground, waiting for a chance to burst out and strike, a mother says to its young. Warning.
And the rumor grows, twisting into something more fantastical. Until one day, a lizard made of rotting wood and bone stumbles upon Kai, right on top of another monster, covered in black blood, catching his breath. The lizard scurries to its nest, and the rumor twists into something closer to the truth.
There is no centipede, it screeches. More gather around it.
It's small, and that's its way of trickery. It hides in plain sight, waiting for something to grow confident. To grow complacent and take its size for weakness.
It moves like no other. In flashes of red and orange and waves of blood and muscle. The fire and shadow are fond of this one, always hovering around it. Keeping it unseen.
Its eyes are as hollow as the abysmal ocean, devoid of mercy. Any it sees are guaranteed death, and those it spares are left mangled. Dying of their injuries. It never eats, never takes, only kills in slashes of flame and iron. It was never seen until now, no name it holds either.
After the rumor spreads further, more seeing the nameless monster in person, Kai develops a title. A warning for the ones who know it. There are many, some still calling it the fire centipede, another calling it the killer of giants, but there is one name that has gained popularity. That has made its way into the stories of every mother whispering to their young.
And now, when Kai pulls out his sword in a blaze of yellow and red, he finds that some scurry away. Screeching something he swore he could make out.
Fire Demon, they scream in fear, running off. Fire Demon, they cry out, warning others. Fire Demon, they think in horror, as none have survived it.
Fire Demon.

The ninja and the mech and the dragon having to hang out with each other without Kai is so funny in a tragic way.
Lloyd: What’s your name?
Mech and Dragon: …
Lloyd: How do you know Kai?
Mech and Dragon: ….
Lloyd: Great talk. Okay. Yeah. Nice to meet you, guys?
We also know very little about them other than the fact they are probably not the most upright moral people just because of their circumstances. But I feel like the only information they’d give out is that Kai did everything he could to get home to them. Everything.
Ominously said. But they mean it kindly.
(Context here)
YES YES YES YES YES this is exactly what happened. They would be quiet not out of disrespect but out of awkwardness. Maybe because they were the people Kai was blabbering about while on their journey to the city of temples, and his descriptions of them were a little... overdramatic. Then again, you can't really stop Kai "family man" Smith from bragging about his family (and trying hard not to forget them)
Kai: Oh and don't get me started on my sister, Nya. She's strong, confident, the second best looking in our team if I must say, and did I mention she was the original samurai x? She was able to build all those intricate and complex gadgets at such an early age, and managed to keep it a secret too! Her power over water is also great, and even though she could do better in terms of love interests, I guess Jay is good enough. Oh, and don't forget, she even beat the preeminent when she unlocked her full potential! She's amazing, isn't she?
Rusty and Daidan, not knowing half of what the fuck he's saying: Sure, that's great sweetie.
Kai: It is! Then Lloyd is—
Rusty: O-oh, isn't that the city? I think we're getting close. So. We should focus lest we get off course.
Kai: Ah. Right. I'm sure I can multitask. Lloyd is the green—
Random classmate: Oh bie you space out a lot, what are you thinking about?
Me: ....
If I was being completely honest, It's that stupid red lego. Every waking moment and every second I draw breath it's spent thinking about Kai. It's not even willingly. I don't want to hyperfixate on him anymore. It's been 6 years. SIX. Ever since late mother fucking 2019 I've just been giggling about a bitch with bad hair. Why. Release me from this. I don't even find it funny anymore. My family have shunned and shamed me. They too found it funny at first but when it spiraled they became disgusted. I don't blame them. This isn't normal behavior. I am not sane. I have spent my teenage years watching a lego show. This character has consumed my thoughts and I fear he's coming for my soul next. Do you know how many assignments and classes i have flunked because of this? Too many. I say I'll take a break, but it just drags me back like a toxic ex. I've tried other fandoms, but deep down I just use them to wait for another season of ninjago. Please it's getting so bad. Don't even get me started about monstrosity. No seriously don't. Why is my life like this. Free me. Help
Me: Just the weather. How about you?
i think they’re trying to make me go absolutely batshit insane on purpose at this point
Rusty and that sopping wet fucking cat that he pick up from the street
Fuck this show is so cringe but I like what I like and this is sick
I came up with that idea a few days ago so I DREW this!!!
Some of them have inspiration from Pinterest and some of them from my imagination sooo yeah that's it
