Some Light Heatwave And Kade Angst. I Absolutely Adored Their Dynamic! Complete Jerks To Each Other Until

So what else is going on during the Elemental Fighters AU?

Hi anon! Just wanted to say that my day has been going absolutely horrible and this ask cheered me up, so thanks for that!

Honestly, this AU kind of just started out as a joke, so I don’t have many actual plot points, but I’m more than happy to talk about what I have currently!

Okay so I already mentioned to @prime-pulse that I think it would be really funny if when they’re all dropping out of the plane onto the island to hunt Nya, Chen didn’t add any extra parachutes for Clouse. So when it gets down to the last parachute, the only ones left without on are Clouse, Garmadon, and Lloyd. Naturally, it turns into a free for all. Garmadon is fighting Lloyd to get him to take the parachute, Lloyd is fighting Garmadon to take the parachute, Clouse is fighting both of them for the parachute, etc.

I want to have lots of Garmadad and Garmason angst with them now being pitted against each other and Garmadon dealing with this new chaotic power that encourages him to fight and get involved in conflict when he really doesn’t want to fight anymore, but so far most of the AU is just season 4 except Garmadon and Clouse are duking it out in the background the whole time (well more than usual for that season anyway).

One thing Leaf and I wanted to make a comic about is Clouse (unknowingly) being the buffer between Garmadon and Lloyd being pitted against each other because every time Chen turns his back, Clouse is rearranging the fights so that he and Garmadon are opponents. Chen probably noticed after like the 10th time and is just like…. Well I wanted drama and to create strain in the father-son relationship, but this is so much better

Hmmmm another thing I want to be apart of it is maybe some Clouse angst? Like towards the season finale (this is @prime-pulse’s idea btw) Chen kind of lumps Clouse in with the other elemental masters and betrays him (cue Garmadon dragging Clouse kicking and screaming into a redemption arc and by redemption arc I mean becoming the weird uncle who only appears during family reunions and reads in the corner the whole time)

I would also want to explore Clouse vs. Garmadon fighting styles. Garmadon practices the art of the silent fist, but Clouse is freakishly fast and strong, not to mention his dark magic. Add in the fact that Garmadon’s powers feed on conflict and hatred and he could potentially exhaust himself quicker while refusing to fight because of that, etc, etc.

Honestly at this point I’m just throwing everything at the wall and I don’t really have a plot. I would absolutely love to finesse the story and possibly make an Elemental Fighters AU ask blog, but right now motivation has been in low supply and I got kneecapped by a new fandom, so I hesitate to do that in fear of creating an ask blog, posting 1 or 2 things and then just vanishing. But feel free to send in asks because I still have a lot of Thoughts about this AU and I would love to share!

(Oh and I should add that when Leaf and I first thought of this it was seriously just Garmadon and Clouse throwing hands every ten seconds, but then @keliharuza opened my eyes to the Garmafam angst! Thank you, it’s really helped the AU grow)

The people have spoken and Garmadad won by a LOT. So as promised, here is some WIP!

"Did I ever mention I once placed first in the Mother-Son Skate Off?" Jay asked, skidding down a bar without any issue. He giggled self consciously, but his smile didn't dim in the slightest. "I should have never admitted that."

"Weirdo," said Mr. Pale, skating by. Garmadon rolled his jaw, stamping down the flicker of protection in his chest. Jay was unharmed by the comment, and the other fighters had every reason not to trust or like them.

"Let's all go to the Royal Arena!" Chen declared excitedly. "Come on, chop chop!" He was wearing skates as well. What was this?

"If most of us have already fought, why are we all in skates?" Skylor asked.

"Ooh, good question!" Chen said. "Two of you will have Jadeblades, and the rest of you will... well, I don't want to spoil it. Come on now!"

"Who's fighting?" Jay asked, gliding past Chen. "I'm dying to know."

"The Master of Form," Chen said, grinning sharply. "...and the Master of Energy."

As Chen and his cultists swept out of the room, anger began to burn in Garmadon's chest. He knew Lloyd would have to fight eventually, but the fact that everyone was involved somehow was not lost on him.

Doodles of the Overlord from the Sensei Lord Garmadon AU! I love this AU (and this jerk) so much! You can find the AU here: @ask-sensei-lord-garmadon

The design for the Overlord belongs to them and I would highly advise checking it out! The art and story are absolutely amazing!

Doodle 1 is just based off of the cat with the knife pointed at it, because the Overlord has the same smug energy. All the time.

My dude is lying in Doodle 2 because he will say this and then get offended by an insult ten seconds later.

As for Doodle 3...

Never leave him alone with a child. Ever. He’s a horrible babysitter.

And Doodle 4 exists because that’s just the Overlord in a nutshell.

Sketches from Hiatus Mega Post

So I lied in the title, these are from my whole sketchbook not just from hiatus, so some of the sketches will be kinda old

This is one of the very first Oni Warlords related things I drew, and it was practice for the Oni masks making different expressions

This one is from the first time it was mentioned that the SLG Overlord WILL bite/eat Clouse’s spellbook. Why? Nobody knows (yet)

SLG AU: @ask-sensei-lord-garmadon

This was also from the SLG AU, where it was mentioned the Overlord is banned from Mystaké’s tea shop for enchanting tea pots

I do not remember the point of this page lmao

So apparently it’s just me drawing the Overlord a lot… again

This page contains 1 Overlord smoothie, 1 Overlord sandwich (a joke about the You Left Me At Subway post), and another sketch from the Communist Garmadon thing that happened that one time

These two were also Oni masks practices (or maybe trying to figure out what Ha’eed and Venge would look like wearing their masks? I don’t remember)

This is my favorite drawing of Venge (that I’ve made)

I refuse to give context for this

Just practicing drawing some of my favorite Garms (don’t worry, just because s1-s5 Garm(s) aren’t here doesn’t mean I don’t love them (/p))

Also this one is old(er), there is a more recent version coming up… IN THE NEXT PART because I hit the image limit… whoops

Every Time Clouse And Garmadon Interact Ever

Designs for Clouse and Garm belong to @prime-pulse!

I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW HYPED I AM FOR THE DEPARTED LORDS AU (found here @ask-the-departed-lords)

So @leafdragon16 and I have been developing an AU that we like to call the Elemental Fighters AU, where basically Sensei Garmadon ends up joining the Tournament of Elements as the Elemental Master of Destruction and because Clouse has decided that Sensei G is Not Allowed To Have Nice Things, he persuades Chen to let him join the Tournament as well to counter Garmadon (and lots of shenanigans ensue. Elaborated on a little bit more here https://prime-pulse.tumblr.com/post/659092677064900608/ok-so-not-really-a-headcanon-but-frost-and-i, @prime-pulse come get y’all juice)

So here’s Garmadon’s gi designs for the Tournament, there’s 3 with and without mask variations. I wanted to give him one but got attached to all the designs so I decided “hey, why not have all 3?”

Leaf and I will probably make more about this, so keep an eye out for it in the future! (If you’re interested of course, no pressure :) )

Here’s the finished product of Seth and Celebrant playing Minecraft!

@frostbite-the-ice-dragon I FINALLY DID IT

I hope I did your girl justice!
