Ooh Now Im Thinking Of Writing A Fic Where Lloyd Notices This - Tumblr Posts

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….
