I Wonder, Seen As Lloyds Father Is Garmadon, Do Any Of The Other Kids In Darkleys Have Really Evil Roots

I wonder, seen as Lloyd’s father is Garmadon, do any of the other kids in Darkley’s have really evil roots as well? Not just your average thief or something, like, Skylor could have gone there for all we know. (Before she turned good. Then again, another example of the school failing to educate someone into turning evil.) How many villains has that school actually created? Lol

Had a dream last night where the whole fandom got together to write a collective Ninjago fanfic and it was terrible. Like, one person would write 500 words, and pass it off to the next person, and the next, until it was an incomprehensible, disgusting, masterpiece of different ideas and headcanons and bad jokes. People were fighting to introduce their blorbos to the plot in 500 words. Writing styles suddenly changed in the middle of conversations. People would use their 500 words to kill off major characters only for someone else to bring them back in the most contrived way possible.

Some of the characters’ names in Ninjago are so weird (in a good way). It only occurred to me when me and my friend were talking the other day, trying to find the silliest name in the show, and we mentioned Pythor P. Chumsworth, Hounddog McBrag, Dogshank, Bolobo, Blazey H. Speed, and a few others.

I turn and another friend who doesn’t watch Ninjago is staring at us with an expression that goes “what?? These are characters???” And I still laugh thinking about it because if I was in their position I’d have the same expression on my face, not believing such names could exist and be talked about so seriously lol

This is a haiku written for the bot to catch. Did you find it first?

Hc Morro likes to read.

Anything and everything, except maybe comics, much to Lloyd’s dismay.

Either way, you should never disturb Morro when he’s lost in a book (and I mean seriously. Never. Unless you have a death wish and/or want to die from a hurricane.)

But why does the grumpy greeny enjoy this hobby so much? There’s a lot of reasons, actually. Some of my personal favorites include:

1. He’s able to escape the real world through literature

2. He learns many new things, since he never got a proper education

3. It gives off the impression that he doesn’t want to be bothered

4. It keeps him entertained when he doesn’t want to be social

5. It provides an easy excuse to avoid social interaction and/or interacting with Lloyd and the ninja

And there are many more, of course. I’m not sure why I think this hobby fits him so well, but I like to think that it was Wu’s fault. He got Morro hooked on reading, after teaching it to him of course, and once he showed interest they went to the library of Domu often. Morro would read the Prophecy of the Green Ninja over and over again, as well as read about Ninjago’s history, different fighting techniques, the predicted heroic tales of the green ninja, etc.

This is also how he appears to be quite knowledgeable, despite never really going to school, and was able to use it to his advantage many times (think, navigating to the Cloud Kingdom and knowing about the realm crystal and it’s capabilities).

Even after he failed at becoming the green ninja, (twice, now,) the habit still stuck, and it’s something he enjoys doing to this day. It surprises everyone, but actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Hmm, I wonder what his favorite book is….

I like to think that there were other much better schools Misako tried to apply for, but Lloyd never got in—simply because of the the fact that Garmadon was his father. With a surname like that, there’s only a few schools that would actually want him, and an evil boarding school is probably on the top of the list.

Or if you want the more dramatic option, perhaps Misako wanted to stop the final battle that much, she’d rather her son turn evil instead of the prophesized green ninja :0

man you know what’s wild to me. the fact that Darkley’s was just. Allowed to exist

It wasn’t like some secret mythical school in the middle of nowhere. People knew about it. Did the people in charge of the city approve of it? Why the hell was Wu perfectly fine with a school that created literal villains?? Why was MISAKO fine LEAVING HER SON THERE??????

The existance of Darkley’s truly baffles me
