so I'm writing on my kaingst ideas and i genuinely don't know what's happening anymore in the one I'm writing rn (affectionate) but ??? anyone want to Read some parts I'm proud of?

I should probably just refer to this as Garm Adopts Kai au bc like,,, that's where we're heading, that's the end goal lmao

so update on this (in which I'm thinking about ways to continue the Kaingst / Garm Adopts Kai thing)

i wrote the Kai Gets Back To The City and his Shitty Apartment thing and i- slowly realising this is just becoming Kai collecting parent figures like- damn Kai who allowed you to have THREE sets of parents (me, I did) (it's Ray and Maya, Garmadon and Misako, and this middle-aged couple who owns a small grocery store Kai kind of got a job at. also another little sister in the form of a small girl who gave him a stuffie while he was spiralling in said grocery store. and a grandma! who he met at a laundromat and gave him better Wise Mentor Words™ that stuck more than anything Garm or Wu will ever tell him lmao)

LIKE- love is stored in strangers helping other strangers actually <3 and this trainwreck needs some mundane normalcy <3

thinking about ways to continue the Garm Adopts Kai thingy I'm writing,,,,, I've written Kai having a breakdown (grief and shit catching up) and either i write the next day or the next week at Garm's monastery,,

OR i write Kai running away back to his apartment,,, could finally describe that place more than it being shitty,,,, could write the emotions and memories,,,, the realistion of how much has changed,,,,, moving around like a ghost in a past home,,,,, the feeling of belonging yet a stranger in your own home,,,, (nostalgia? i haven't figured out what that emotion is yet lmao),,,, Kai maybe slipping up,,,,, going through the motions on autopilot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and then, a week later, returning to Garm's monastery :) staying much shorter time now bc we're nearing the start of S4,,,,,,,

hhhhhhhh much tempting,, might go with it

I'm bored and impatient to start writing while not knowing where/how to start so here tried to make how I imagine Kai's apartment to look like during the Red Shogun era in my kaingst ideas :) I'll rb with the 3D tour video thingy of the bathroom too once this posts hopefully

also this is legit the first thing I made with this app so????? everything might not be perfect and I definitely don't know how to rotate the camera, but it's one step closer to what's in my head so it's okay :) (also please imagine there's a lonely lightbulb hanging from the middle of the room)

the song in both videos are Real Boy by Lola Blanc (and possible volume warning?)

the only actual description of the apartment I've given is 'shitty little apartment with rotten walls and disgusting sewer scent' but it's also just,, cables sticking out from the walls, there's definitely mold in the bathroom and there's... rather suspicious marks on the floor. It's on the brink of ruined and the entire building from the outside looks sketchy as hell and honestly quite abandoned. It might actually be smaller than I made it in this, but half of the furniture was there when Kai moved in and the other half is either bought to the cheapest price possible or, um, stolen. Like the club sign, that's stolen. The books below the TV are either stolen too, or rescued from the street. It's not visible here, but most of his clothes during this era is the same as the books, and no matter if it's found on the street or stolen, he still tries to clean it. (I even gave him a washing machine! look how nice i am :)) The Nazar eye is actually a gift from one of the Serpentine on the Slither Pit (or... someone else he woke up next to whoops) (sometimes it makes him feel Watched in a Bad Way and he turns it around or throws it into the closet)

The floors + walls are all supposed to look like those kinda tacky (?) ugly thingys from like??? not sure on century, but it's supposed to look decades old at the very least. Like it's just old. The chairs are probably something from a dumpster, or stolen. No matter, it definitely reminds Kai of Lloyd :) The desk below the TV he found in a dumpster and painted+decorated himself whenever between fighting at the Slither Pit and drinking himself unconscious. (He probably picked blue for Jay and Nya both :)) Not much more for this room? The panel shielding the bed I thought was a nice touch to give it a little bit more privacy and hide away. Also it's obviously way dirtier then this, I don't think Kai leaves this place better than when he came to be honest. (maybe between S4 and s5 if he cleans the entire place but yeahhhhh no)

anyways here's the bathroom too (from this post bc video limit where I talk about the main living space and the design thoughts behind it)

This is how I imagine Kai's bathroom to look like during the Red Shogun era, except more dirty and in ruins.

(song is Real Boy by Lola Blanc, possible volume warning)

As you might have been able to tell from last post, there's really not much that screams 'Kai' at all. This is fully intentional, I want the apartment to reflect how far gone he's really gone (especially mentally) and how he drops off the face of Earth Ninjago and cutting all contact. In my HCs the time during s3 finale and the start of s4 is around two years, I imagine he fully cut all contact around a year in, maybe more. Anyways, he has a tiny washing machine, shower (imagine there's shower curtains too), a small shelf and the sink. The two towels and the toothbrush holder are one of the few red things in this apartment at all.

The walls are old bricks and I imagine there would be cracks and mold in both walls and floor as this apartment hasn't been very well looked over or taken care of in decades. This might be the only room without any loose cables though, even if it's just concealed with duck tape and paste.
