Hc that Jay absolutely had one of the worst missions out of all of them, straight from the pilots.
And that was teaching Zane, Kai, Cole, and then even NYA, what modern society was actually like.
Zane: What is this strange device? Why are there people stuck within the TV?? Jay. Jay this is horrible how do we save them???
Jay: Zane. This is a video game.
Jay: Oh you poor, poor thing.
Jay: And this is chirp! Basically, it’s a place for people to share their thoughts and lives to everyone else and-
Jay:…because they want to?
Jay: Yeah?? Practically everyone does-
Jay: If you don’t stop looking at me with your JUDGY FACE I SWEAR-
Cole: Jay. Jay oh my GOD.
Jay: Cole?? Dude are you okay-
Cole: Jay don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me.
Jay: Cole. Buddy. What did you do.
Cole: I accidentally bought 130 glitter unicorn plushies.
Cole: Jay they have free will none of them come with a remote.
Cole: THE SALES PERSON WAS REALLY PUSHY OKAY
Jay: Nya. Nya please. PLEASE tell me you’re normal.
Nya: Jay, trust me, I definitely know more than the other three do.
Nya: It’s not what it looks like.
Jay: Nya. Why are you standing in front of a stack of books all related to if movies are real.
Nya:…I, uh. It’s not what you thinkkkkk?
Jay: One of the books is titled “Will movies steal your soul? A complete guide to prevent your life from being someone else’s entertainment!!!”
Jay: uuGGHHHH FINEEEE ILL WATCH TRASHY MOVIES WITH YOU.
The only one who understands his suffering is Wu, who was stuck with Mr Garmadon “I’m gonna run away and train with Chen for the foreseeable future nonstop with barely any contact with the outside world” when he decided to help with the Serpentine war.
And then LLOYD comes along and Jay had never been happier. This ten year old knows what a game is, he’s watched movies before, he’s seen social media. He knows how to mess with pushy salespeople. He’s amazing. All Jay has to teach him is how to fight and be a functioning healthy kid. Easy.
Jay cries into his pillow every night Lloyd makes him so sad thats his baby brother right there.
