The Krana Told Me To... Told Me To Get A Can... A Can Of Cinnamon Rolls... And Fry Them... Fried Cinnamon

@lemonylepid fanart based on truck driving stream from Monday.

a much more complex animation this time, with SOOOO many moving pieces, I know it doesnt lookit

I really love your "waifu stickers", do you mind if I drew the designs sometime? I really dig the zero-suit look they got and want to try my hand at it. I'll credit you if I post it on here!

Cheers, really enjoying your work so far!

You're legit one of my favorite artists, I would love to see how you interpret just a silly idea I had for stickers for my water bottle lmao I know I just did a zero suit nokama but the original design was actually inspired by Spartan techsuits from Halo. But seriously, go for it

random thing

Got an amazing post for y'all today. This one took some diving!

Color chart of the Mata Nui Online Game Character Creation Kit. Work on this was started by Matoran Onknu and later Takuma Nuva

These sprites are very large, so I'll post a read more below. Onknu's account was lost to time, and Takuma Nuva's account doesn't contain very many kits. Refy's account led me to Roablin, the unsung hero of the MNOLG-style Character Creation Kit. This user took the lost work of Onknu and Takuma Nuva and assembled complete sprite kits.

Bonus test Bohrok that appears to have been made by Refy (not 100% sure)

On the LEGO Group issuing a C&D to Team Kanoho, it's worse than Nintendo, like, hitting yet another fangame with the banhammer, or whatever, right? To me. Because Nintendo has active IPs, with active fans, and are actively releasing product for people to buy. Unlike Pokémon, Bionicle is just dead. Fan projects like this are the only way to keep it alive and if people can't make them, that's it. And just like when Nintendo does it, this now sets a predecent going forward: This Could Happen To You. This is going to kill a lot of hope people might have in the future of Bionicle.

I'm not sure how to do it organically (hehe joke) but i think if this hypothetical Bionicle team could just spend a bunch of time camping on a beach and having to do arts and crafts or concept art using very basic/ancient techniques. How would a robot on a beach build shelter? Gather supplies? Defend itself? I get where you're coming from and I think a good way to accomplish that would be deconstructing (hehehe) our idea of Pacific islanders in general.

im avoiding homework by thinking about bionicle but i really think a retelling of 2001 needs to drop maori and indigenous polynesian imagery/language as much as possible.

not entirely (obviously the names of characters and toa are kinda permanent, as well as the name "mata nui") but anything that rips off the culture needs to go. mostly.

it would be cool if bionicle was able to pull off a respectful representation of the culture but i think all good will has been shattered due to what lego pulled in 2001 and maybe just focus on heroes saving villagers, robots fighting robots and uncovering cool mysteries at this point

"but bionicle's roots are intertwined with polynesian culture!" ok? and they fucked that up hardcore decades years ago. it's soured forever. focus on the other cool parts about bionicle.

robots in wilderness will always be cool. you can throw a hint of polynesian culture in there but it sure as hell better be respectful

Wish we could have an adult conversation about how media has a trend of ignoring male characters getting sexually assaulted and seemingly pretending it never happened. How movies/shows/cartoons etc make male characters go through sexual assault without even mentioning that what they went through is sexual assault. A recent example that comes to mind: Hughie Campbell in 'The boys' getting sexually assaulted in one episode which is treated as a joke and an episode later raped by a shapeshifter pretending to be his girlfriend and how the latter isn't even considered to be a 'bad event' for him but treated as if he knowingly cheated on his actual girlfriend. So often male characters go through shit that make me go: what the fuck? And it's as if the writers don't even register that what they're writing is something a normal human being would be fucked up about because they happen to be writing for male characters. It's not specifically about the example it's about the choice in media to ignore sexual boundaries for men and often treat them getting crossed as a non event or even as a joke.
