Ok looked into it and yeah. That is the reason.
However. The last spinner that came out before Lloyd’s… was chokun’s… he has short legs??
Ninjago team what
I was on my way back from work today when i remembered that little fun fact about how the entire reason they hit Lloyd with tomorrows tea was because lego needed an adult minifigure to be able to put him on the little spinny toys they were selling at the time. I love being obsessed with a longform toy commercial
WAIT THATS WHY?! I thought they just didn’t want a 9-10 year old fighting the BBEG— that’s crazy…
Aged up for bay blade..

Thinking about a scene from a ninjago roleplay I had in highschool and the missed angst opportunities 😔
It was a wonderful rp and wish I could read it again but alas the accounts used to create it are deleted

First off: that name is adorable, molten??? Oml so cute.
Second off I’m going to consume your art this is fantastic. Eating this meal
i drew this in a fit of rage and passion after reading too many posts in which lava and lostshippers both lost their minds at each other (ignore the fucked up speech bubbles)((i havent drawn in one thousand years pls forgive me))
i think they hold hands in a little triangle
"kai is the shortest ninja!" "no, jay is!"
have y'all ever considered they are the exact same height? and are constantly arguing who's taller because 1) shoes affect your height and 2) kai's hair?
dunno about y'all but this is what i'll be believing for now on
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.
first time posting on here lol. so hopefully the algorithm doesnt work against me

I had a dream last night that we got 2 kai spin offs and the second one had his classic design.
Wonderful addition. Thank you for your contribution this is amazing. Rotating in my head like microwave
Kais self care routine gets so much longer after monstrosities (hair routine included) and I will not be told otherwise.
Mans is treating every day as a spa day bc he spent so many days not being able to do even the most basic of self care tasks. And honestly as he should.
Ok but also I really like the centipede Kai idea and now I’m picturing him figuring out what self care for his bug bits looks like
Breaking news: fan fic writers have obligations in real life!!! We have lives outside of writting and don’t have time to update every day <3
I have no sympathy if you turn to ai for updates and fuck over the author like that. Theres a special spot in hell for that shit.
Maybe if people updated more we wouldn't turn to ai
You’re a pathetic, impatient loser. Fanfic writers owe you nothing, and their writing is their own, not yours to do with as you choose, you entitled brat.
“Red flags” by tom cardy but it’s Kai and drix
Kai: what’s your faviort movie?
Drix trying to flirt: human centipede ;)))
Kai: D:
Drix: [shoveling flowers in his mouth]
Yeeesss exactly!! You get it!! Kai already very much talks with his hands and there’s no way the mandibles don’t get added into that 🥰
Love body horror and freaky shit as much as the next person but honestly the idea of Kai having little mandibles is kinda cute to me idk why. Like that’s just my silly little bug blorbo being a silly little bug your honor

Growing pains (bug kai one shot)
Tw: blood, body horror, body horror
Uhhh idk where in dragons rising this takes place so just plop it in whatever spot makes sense to you
—————
Kais middle name may as well be repression with how well he was keeping up apparenences. No one knew about his time in the land of monsters, no one even knew he’d been there.
But there were some.. side effects to his time there that couldn’t be shoved down.
Which is why when he began to feel that sharp pressure in his back he nearly leaped out of bed and snuck to the nearest bathroom, tearing his shirt off in hopes it wouldn’t get ruined. Pepping the first aid kit and as many bandages as he could find before crawling into the tub for easy clean up.
It did t take long for the pressure to become unbearable. He grabbed a clean was cloth and shoved it into his mouth. The fabric tasted awful but it was his best bet at keeping this all a secret
Kai gritted his teeth as it began, grasping and clawing at the edge of the tub. warm crimson dripped down his back filling the air with a metallic stench as a pair of forcipules tore their way though layers of fat, muscle, and skin. It took everything in him to bite down on cloth he’d grabbed and not scream his lungs out.
He didn’t want to wake anyone. Hell. He didn’t want anyone to know about this. Not yet. He wasn’t.. he wasn’t ready for that.
He’d rather suffer in silence then risk any of them finding out what had happened.. what he’d become
Kai gagged and gasped and the squelchy ripping sound coming from his waist, his mandibles extending and releasing the cloth. He reached for it, only to fall back into the tub as the twin to his new limb followed suit, causing the master of fire to writhe and squirm in pain, his vision going white as a scream tore its way through his throat despite his best efforts to keep this whole ordeal under wraps
His mind dizzied and body nearly imoblized by the pain he did the only thing he could think to do with his pityful rag just out of reach and not down on his hand to muffle what he could, praying to the first master that no one had heard him, or at least brushed it off when it seemingly stopped.
Kai whimpered against his wrist. Squeezing his eyes tight. Hoping this time he’d just wake up. It wouldn’t be real, he’d wake up and his body would be normal again.
He HATED this new.. form.
His torso being slightly elongated and segmented every few inches, with each section slowly gaining its own pair of forcibles. His mouth being able to just.. open like that. Having to be constantly awear of how he was holding his jaw so as not the let it just open like a tarp and let the cat out of the bag.
He already felt like a monster. He didn’t need everyone else seeing just how much of one he was becoming.
His eyes began to well up before soft knock on bathroom door shook him from his thoughts
“Is. Everything alright..?” Zane asked gently
Fuck.
Someone HAD heard
Kai took a deep breath. Unsure if he trusted his voice to stay stable with the throbbing in his back. “ I’m. Fine” he managed. “Leg cramp.” That. That was a reasonable excuse for screaming at what.. nearly 3 in the morning?
“Kai. I heard that scream. I can smell the blood from here. I know you are injured. Please let me help.. I am worried..”
Kai whimpered, his mind was starting to get hazy from the blood loss. He was in no condition to stop the bleeding himself let alone clean and bandage the wounds . at this rate if he didn’t accept help.. it wouldn’t end well
“Don’t. Freak out. Ok?” He gulped, trying to force himself to sit up only to wince and give up
“I promise not to freak out.” Zane assured him
Kai wasn’t sure if that was possible given how the tub and what remained of his pajamas were soaked in fresh blood and he was slowly turning into a fucking centipede person.
He let out a shakey breath “ok.”
The door knob turned slowly, the door creaked. Zane poked his head in, his eyes widening as he saw Kai “first master..”
Kai frowned, instinctively curling up in an attempt to hide himself “promised..” he said weakly
Zane’s expression softened, grabbing the first aid kit kai had prepared before kneeling in front of the tub “it’s going to be ok Kai.”
Kai nodded. Trying not to waste his energy on a response.
Zane quickly got to work, helping Kai shift positions so his back faced the former and allowed him to apply pressure to the wounds in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
Kai tried his best to stay still, but there was no pain like this. He flinched and squirmed from Zane’s hands dispite being so very gently. “Ive got you kai, yoh are going to be ok.”
Kai almost believed him.
Almost.
Sure he wasn’t going to die from blood loss now, but once one person knew it was only a matter of time before everyone in the monastery knew he’d become a fucked up creature .
Zane hummed softly, trying to calm the fire starter who’d started to cauterize his wounds as his powers manifested his anxiety into something more physical “almost done..” he said softly
Kai nodded. Not having the strength to give a verbal reply
Zane wrapped the bandages around kais torso. Trying to push the questions from his mind. Kai was in no state to answer them.. and the master of ice had a hunch he wouldn’t want to either way. “There.. now. Let’s get you to the infirmary. You likely need a transfusion with as much blood as you’ve lost..”
“Can’t.. move” Kai forced out
“You do not need to. Just, try to stay awake for me, ok?”
Kai nodded, and with that zane gently wrapped his arms around the shorter boy, taking great care to avoid touching his back, and carefully pick him up.
Dispite the pain he was in kai couldn’t help but lean into Zane. He was so tired of hidding it all.. maybe now.. that could come to an end..? It sort of had to. Didnt it
Zane carried the injured fire master to the infirmary, carefully setting him down in a way that was likely to cause the least amount of pain before quickly looking through their supplies to grab what he could.
Kai was pale, but not deathly so. He was going to be ok.. Zane had gotten there in time.. and thank the first master he did.
Zane melted into the chair next to Kai’s hospital bed with a sigh. His color was starting to return to normal and he seemed to be getting some of his strength back. “..I. Must admit I’m rather confused about what happened.”
Kai looked away from him, picking at the edge of his nails “it’s. Along story. I don’t think I have the energy to get into it..l
“Thats.. understandable..
“…are you going to tell the others…?”
“I.. I can’t lie to them about you being injured. But, if you want me to… avoid what your ..condition is..”
“No its. It’s fine.. but let me tell em.. please? Just. Cole, Lloyd, Nya, and pix. You’re the only ones that need to know right now.”
Zane nodded “of course. It is your choice kai.”
Kai gave a weak smile, “thanks tin can.”
A tad worried about that. But also,,, angst fic ideas,,,
Fellow ace here
RB if your blog is a safe, accepting space for asexuals!

I regret absolutely nothing
Good
It's crazy how one trailer got more attention than 8 leaked episodes.
