Uhhh AU Where Moon Rolls A Nat 1 On Stealth The First Time The Rainwings Get Close Enough To See Her

Uhhh AU where Moon rolls a nat 1 on stealth the first time the Rainwings get close enough to see her and she ends up adopted by them

But WAIT there’s a TWIST

Through a series of misunderstandings and gaslighting, everyone (including Moon herself) is convinced that the voices in her head are just her OWN thoughts (“yeah everyone hears a voice in their heads it’s their thoughts” “but I’ve got like. Twenty.” “Well then you must have a LOT of thoughts”)

And the visions are just products of an overactive imagination or smth (the headaches they come with are TOTALLY coincidental what are you talking about)

So of course she starts hearing from Darkstalker and he’s all hopeful but she’s just like “oh new sound for the thoughts! add it to The Collection! Soon I’ll have a whole PARTY of voice actors in here! :D”

Eventually she recognizes the history cave in THAT vision and she’s too panicked to tell the difference between imagination and reality because it’s just SO VIVID and SO SUDDEN. At least that’s what she thinks until the history cave explodes etc etc

Cue the Jade Winglet realizing “oh, she has Nightwing powers,” followed immediately by them realizing, “OH, tHrEe MoOns she doesn’t even KNOW she has Nightwing powers…”

And from there it’s just a bunch of shenanigans as everyone tries to undo multiple years of gaslighting

As for why Secretkeeper never told her after the Night and Rain kingdoms combined we’re gonna go with she just assumed Moon knew already and it was too late by the time she realized she hadn’t known at all

TLDR

Thinkin about Moonwatcher again

AU where she’s actually terrible at hiding her powers and it’s only through BBC Merlin levels of pure obliviousness that nobody finds out.

She thinks they know. They don’t.

Notable examples of Things That Have Happened Because Moon Is A Terrible Actor include:

- Kinkajou’s mind in music class: “man what’s that song that’s like ‘IF OUR LOOOVE’S INSANITY WHY ARE YOU MY CLARITY’”

Moon: (immediately starts singing Clarity by Zedd because now it’s stuck in HER head too) (realizes) (stops and shuffles awkwardly)

- Moon finally working up the courage to volunteer to read aloud to the class but she suddenly gets The Vision TM and starts reciting the Jade Mountain prophecy, glowy eyes and all, before apologizing awkwardly and continuing right back into the book. She distances herself from everyone as much as she can the rest of the day but nobody notices anything and just assumed she got lost somehow because she DID drop her book when the vision started

- Moon bringing up SPECIFICALLY the moment where Cobra threw Qibli at the wall for stealing her a coconut in conversation about childhoods “yeah my mom was terrible” “yeah didn’t you like steal a coconut for her and she threw you at the wall??? And you were like REALLY young at the time right???” “…I don’t remember telling you that but yEAH she did” (awkward look from Moon)

- Moon slipping up and saying there are “too many thoughts in here” in a crowded room and even as she’s stiffening up and has this SUPER awkward look on her face everyone just assumes she means her brain like anyone else would

-Moon saying “Mood” when the chorus to Noise by Leah Marlene plays and immediately covering her mouth and looking guilty (all jokes aside please check out this song it’s so good)

-Moon winning 20 questions MULTIPLE times in a row. She’s banned from guessing games now. She always asks one or two questions just to be a lil bit normal but it’s like. “I’m thinking of an animal” “is it furry?” “No” “corn snake?” “yEAH ACTUALLY-”

-Moon having designated a lil area that nobody really goes to where she can run off to if she feels a vision coming on and she’s able to run and Peril getting lost and walking in on her a GAZILLION times (bonus points if it’s in Stonemover’s cave purely because that’d be really funny)

And combine that with the canon muttering prophecies in her sleep and knowing immediately what’s wrong with Bandit and it’s just overall a REALLY suspicious picture

So of course she’s VERY confused after the history cave incident when it turns out NOBODY knew.

(Not even Kinkajou, who unironically used the expression “you just read my mind” SO many times around her it COULDN’T have been a coincidence, right???)

I think having at least two band kid ninja and one of them being Lloyd would be so funny because I remember my high school band teacher saying something along the lines of “if a shooter enters the band room and we have to fight them off, I give you my full permission to throw your instrument at them.”

So of course in Ninjago High the equivalent would be “if one of Garmadon’s generals enters you can throw your instrument at them.”

Now here’s the thing about Movieverse Ninjago City: everyone thinks Lloyd’s working with his father.

So just as everyone’s deviously grinning at Lloyd and at least one piccolo has already been thrown at him (one of) the other band kid ninja (prolly Zane if I had to guess) has to be like “And no, this does NOT include Lloyd.”

Something something original Crystallized ending as the fulfillment of the Prophecy of the Golden Master as it’s known by the Serpentine

Aaaalso I’m pReTtY sure the ice emperor theme is just Zane’s death music but “hey what if instead of going down a full step at the end there we go down a half step wouldn’t that be silly goofy fun times”

I was yesterday years old when I learned that the same theme that plays during Zane’s death plays much quieter and in a different key in the scene where Dr. Julien is telling the ninja to go on without him to the final battle and Zane’s being worried

So anyway how’re you doing today

Something something Lloyd being master of energy and literally sucking the life force out of someone who hurts his kids
