Grief: Kai And Jay

So ninjago finally ended. Had to make a quick sketch to celebrate since I've been following the show for nearly a decade now. Congrats to it for being the first franchise I ever remember making fanart of.

Respectfully, some of you in the ninjago fandom REALLY need to get this in your ears:

the amount of grief jay felt about nya’s death IS NOT LARGER THAN THE AMOUNT OF GRIEF KAI FELT.

familial love and romantic love are two different things. and yes, depending on circumstances and the people themselves, one can be stronger than the other.

BUT NOT IN NYA’S CASE. KAI AND JAY LOVE NYA EQUALLY. JAY DID NOT MISS NYA MORE THAN KAI. KAI JUST HID HIS GRIEF, AND MAYBE IS COPING IN A DIFFERENT WAY. KAI AND JAY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. BUT THEY LOVE NYA EQUALLY.

so stop saying jay was more upset over nya’s death when kai literally held her when she was a child and raised her and was there for nya her entire life. nya missed them both, and they both missed her. thats it.

hey you.

Kai 🤝 Lloyd 🤝 Nya

Everything bad that’s ever happened is my fault

AND I AGREE?? WE HAVE THE SAME THOUGHT PROCESS I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH MITZLE

and again, adding to all of this, it’s also sometimes easy to forget that ninjago is a kids show- which is exactly what angers me more. Kids should be shown romantic relationships are important; there is nothing wrong with that. However hundreds of kids could relate to a sibling relationship, and could maybe even learn from Kai and Nya, and get closer to their own siblings! When I was younger I looked up to Kai, because he was an older sibling and I could relate to that. Other kids could do the exact same!

The writers have indeed diminished the value of Kai and Nya’s relationship, overlooking it and portraying to so many kids that romance reigns over family every time. I just wish they would change, because Kai and Nya are siblings and downgrading the important value of sibling relationships seems to be the writers ultimate goal. And honestly? This really needs to stop.

Wu: You’re violent.

Kai: Yeah but I’m short, so it’s adorable.

GUYSSS!!! Kai is AMBIDEXTROUS!!

I WAS REWATCHING THE OLDER SEASONS AND, he holds the sword of fire with his LEFT HAND. AND IN RECENT EPISODES  holds swords in both hands and USES THEM with both hands and HOW HAVE I NEVER REALIZED THIS?!?!?
