Hey I just realized that most of ur Ninjago fanart has Kai with a blind eye. Wats ur headcanon for the cause of it?
Hii! So that hc is a couple of years old and I don't really remember the full story I had for it ^^'
Moreover, I don't even have that hc all the time anymore. I'm trying concepts and stuff bc I still like the idea, as you can see here:
...but I'm not completely set on any one of them. So for now I just play around the design/idea, like a fluid hc.
The new story I have for how he got the scar is also somewhat flexible (I like the idea of playing around with it), but the basics of my current version are these:
It happened between seasons 7 and 8. The ninja are all divided searching for Wu, but after a couple of months with no results, they start to get desperate.
Some of the guys they fight notice how careless they've gotten because of that desperation, and with the advantage that they now usually work in pairs, they set a trap.
It's Kai and Zane who fall into the trap. There're too many enemies and they're both badly hurt. Just when one of the thugs is about to basically break Zane, Kai steps in to protect him, and gets hit in the face instead, getting his scar and losing his eye.
Zane panics but manages to escape with Kai and get him to the hospital. The ninja take the news of what happened somberly, and Kai spends a lot of the time of the timeskip learning to adapt with now limited vision. The ninja have also realized that it was their recklessness that allowed the bad guys to do this and so they start to be much more careful. Zane also reflects on what happened and is frustrated at his own uselessness when Kai was hurt, so he studies to become a doctor/medic to help his team whenever they are wounded (just like they repair him whenever he breaks).
That's basically it. There's a lot of angst potential to explore and also some opposite stuff because it’s still my fav ship of the show :>
