Plot Twist, Jay's Not Actually A Freakin Cockroach, Somebody's Actually Setting Things Up Perfectly To

Plot twist, Jay's not actually a freakin cockroach, somebody's actually setting things up perfectly to make sure he survives everything. Maybe Zane? Pixel? Dareth?

Once Jay becomes self-aware of his seeming inability to die, you just KNOW hes gonna start testing out its limits. Like, he and Lloyd setting up increasingly convoluted and fatal obstacle courses and skate rinks - like, rings of fire, toxic clouds, acid pits, like Lloyd's really putting his Darkleys education to good use when designing this thing - only for Jay to just narrowly escape each death trap purely through luck and durability. And then they turn around and set up a bigger, even more dangerous obstacle course. At some point they even rope Pixal into helping with the construction, because she lowkey really wants to test out all her new mechs and weapon designs.

Like. Im just saying that when Jay realizes hes a freakin cockroach hes gonna be absolutely insufferable about it

The ninja argue about who to send out to gather EMs and Lloyd just texts them while he waits for the argument to end.

Considering Lloyd had Skylors number and not Kai, I wonder how many other contacts Lloyd has from the other EMs that the Ninja don’t know about

This is legitimately one of my favorite headcanons!

This AU was birthed from midnight thoughts about s1 and spiralled from there.

So! AU where Garmadon is like really, really good at videogames and is secretly Lloyd and Jay's rival and neither of the two know it's him.

Oh gosh, now I'm the one that's totally fine, definitely not crying. How could you do this to me? There was no warning.

No no yeah im totally not emotional over the fact that, despite the fact that his vision of Aspheera blasting him caused him visible distress, the moment his friends were in danger he not only allowed the vision to come true, but he actively fulfilled it himself. Even though it had troubled and upset him. When push came to shove, he made the vision come true. It was his love for his friends that caused his undoing.

And no, im definitely not emotional about the fact that even though he didnt know if hed ever see his friends again, he still took the time to make a farewell recording for them. He didnt even anticipate them seeing it, instead addressing some unknown stranger in the distant future. Hoping someone, anyone, would know who he was, know he was there, know that he loved his friends very much. His farewell message didnt talk about his accomplishments, or even how he ended up in this mess. He just listed off all the people who matter to him. And this was perhaps the last thing he would do with his free will for the next 50 years. Zane's last act before having all the love torn from his heart, was to tell his friends how much he loved them. His last act before having his sense of self destroyed and his identity warped beyond recognition, was to make sure someone, anyone, knew who he was and what had happened to him.

Yeah, im totally fine, dont worry about it. Not feeling anything at all.
