Ghost Smith - Tumblr Posts
If I can add some more details from the discord chat! - Red is the only one who believes Smith when he says he just misplaced his body (the others think he’s in heavy denial because when Smith off-handedly mentions appearing in a ‘shower of golden sparks’, they think he died in a fire / his death is related to fire)
- The squad also Smith’s fear of water has to do with his death (so Nya is also in denial through guilty)
- Only the ninja force can see him. They think it’s because of him dying in an GarmAlarm attack on their watch and he just can’t remember it
- Smith possesses the mechs from time to time like he’s a driving school instructor to make sure they don’t crash/do stupid things (he also powers mechs up and appears on the screen)
- Garmadon fights become so chaotic for the Generals, it’ll be like the city itself if fighting them, but Smith’s just possessing a bunch of stuff
- Smith loves possessing blankets and wrapping around the ninja, and even sometimes with posses Jay’s scarf if he really wants to feel some physical affection
- Smith tends to offhandedly mention a lot more things in this AU because he’s stuck as a ghost that only the squad can see.
- “Yeah I once jumped into a volcano to save my little brother.” ~ doesn’t elaborate
Smith: Yeah, fire’s just comforting to me. I- [remembers he can’t spill the secret about having fire powers] uhhhh don’t know why it just does
The Ninjaforce, thinking that his death is related for fire/the volcano: [share concerned glances]
Red, slamming his hands on the desk: I TOLD you guys fire is just calming and comforting, but you all just think I’m a pyromaniac!
- Garmadon’s base is a volcanic island. Surrounded by ocean. There is much panic
"He’s a ghost, how can he be kidnapped!?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!!"
- Smith’s thalassophobia get’s levelled up to aquaphobia
- Smith gets increasingly frustrated over how the squad keeps telling him everything is fine when it’s clear they all feel guilty over something and are hurting but they just won’t tell him what
Smith: Okay, seriously guys, what's wrong?
Nya: Nothing (sigh) don't worry-
Smith, interrupting: -about it Smith. Yeah, okay, let's pretend we've already done the whole, "there's nothing wrong or HEY LOOK AT THIS INSTEAD" script that we keep doing and just get to the point already. What's going on with you guys?
Lloyd: Smith, really, it's noth-
Smith: If you try to lie to me and say nothing is wrong again, I will scream at you guys. You guys are TERRIBLE liars and it's genuinely insulting me that you think I haven't noticed. Now tell me, what is wrong?
Zane: We can't tell you.
Smith: Why?! What is so bad that it's emotionally and mentally messing with all of you, that you can't tell me? WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG?
Jay: BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD, SMITH.
Smith: ...I'm sorry, what
[Cue Jay, with Cole and others but mostly Cole, trying to calm Jay down while he blurts out all the evidence and what it means for the group]
Smith: ...Uh...As solemn as this is, I think I have some clearing up to do
- Red’s conspiracy board/consumption of the forbidden pocky sticks comes in handy once again
Smith: You see, I'm not actually dead, I'm just-
Red: From an alternative world/timeline/planet/possibly from the future or the past though multiverse theory seems the most logical and you're basically astral projecting either intentionally but most likely an accident caused by either technology or magic and you just want to find a way back to your home where your body still is
Smith:
Red:
The other ninja:
Smith: How the f-
- Smith hangs out in the back of class & helps the ninja with homework
- History especially, he’s really freaking good at it [insert the theory that Smith is an ancestor to the Smith siblings here]
- Smith accidentally possesses one of the ninja after seeing them get knocked out in a battle and tries to catch them
Can I join the chaos? I want to know more about the Smith AU's and shenanigans!
Hmmmm how about Ghost Smith :D
Basically this time around, the Megaweapon just kinda yeets his spirit into the M!verse and he sticks around the Main Squad.
Things that happen include:
Smith insisting he isn’t dead, just misplaced his body
Squad not believing him, but not wanting to correct him
Guilt all around since they all think he died in a Garmadon attack, and they know they can save everyone but still
Smith now has another reason to fear water
Wu thinking that Smith is possibly Red’s ancestor since Fire
Smith also teaching the team how to fight
The Chap 20 thing is a lot scarier for everyone because Smith just. Disappears. He comes back dw, but it scares the crap out of them
