quickkkk dragons rising thoughts but the authority roles we got to see were honestly so ?? well done?and i need to like actually air out these things guys okay
lloyd took these kids in, cared for them, trained them whilst still trying to make sure they have a clean and safe place for them to live in, much like a father- probably things he didn’t get when he was younger so he wanted to make sure sora and arin felt loved
nya was like a big sister to sora, and wanted to guide her- much like her brother was to her. it’s interesting as well how nya had to unlock her own power and find her element within, not without insecurity, and sora is going through the exact same thing- nya being her mentor is so fitting
kai is, again, a big brother to yet another kid he’s picked off the side of the street. kai automatically gravitates to the older brother role- he’s like the older brother of the team at this point- and cares for wyldfire and keeps her in check exactly he did with lloyd. kai now having three little siblings to keep an eye on means everything to me.
zane with frohicky is also a great dynamic, because just like zane felt different and was unable to do/understand things like his human brothers, frohicky feels incompetent despite trying really hard to be helpful. zane guiding him and helping him navigate life post merge is what the ninja did for him when he was establishing his identity as a nindroid and it shows just how much he’s grown with himself.
and cole. we know cole is always just like a father- in the same way i spoke about how lloyd didn’t have a safe and caring father figure, cole’s was distant, cold and rude to him and makes him feel bad about himself. but with these two little kids and their skeleton teen, he is so gentle, he keeps them safe , makes sure they’re fed, has built this entire little home for them even tho their situation is less than perfect.
our ninja are all grown up now. they’ve grown up with us :’)
