Liushen AU where SY transmigrates into SJ's older brother, and subsequently nopes them right out of the slavery backstory by using his general knowledge of the story and actually being an adult in a kid's body to just leave (basically) with SJ and YQ.

SY carts them both up to Cang Qiong for the next sect trials. It's actually not all that hard, the trickiest part is getting enough to eat and finding safe places to sleep between leaving the slavers and taking the trials (SY manages just barely, with considerable help from his new little brothers.) Nobody bothers to go after them because it's before Qiu Jianluo and this style of human traffickers mostly operate by virtue of their merchandise having nowhere else to go. Chasing down runaways is an expense not worth indulging, given that most of them either come straight back or die of exposure.

Anyway, they take the trials, and as expected YQY gets chosen to become a personal disciple for the sect leader, and SJ gets chosen by the Qing Jing Peak Lord, but also as (kind of) expected (by SY alone) nobody wants SY. He's older the Yue Qi, so too old, and unlike YQ and SJ his cultivation potential isn't striking enough to make any exceptions for him.

SY, however, can't leave it at that. He's spent more than five minutes with the street kid codependency gang, so he's gotten attached to both of them. And he knows what will happen if they're left to their own devices and The Plot proceeds accordingly. (Also, they keep threatening to not stay at the sect if SY doesn't stay too, for some reason.) So with a heavy heart and internal candle lit for himself, SY heads to Bai Zhan Peak. Which is the only peak that accepts disciples by way of them turning up and refusing to leave.

SY's not much of a fighter. He actually really hates the atmosphere on BZP, he's not bad at physical cultivation (his health's pretty good in this life, ironic considering how much worse his situation was) but the random ambushes and survival-of-the-fittest stuff is just not his brand. But that's okay, because it turns out that BZP actually DESPERATELY needs disciples on the actual peak who are interested in things other than fighting and cultivating their own strength. Stuff like, filling out requisition requests for An Ding every time things break, apologizing to An Ding every time things break again, organizing schedules, browbeating senior disciples into actually teaching, educating disciples on virtually any artistic or social skill, hosting lectures on how to beat vicious beasts without just overpowering them, and etc.

Okay so some of this stuff isn't and has never actually been on Bai Zhan's curriculum but Shen Yuan is going to make this place tolerable. And stop these children from needlessly getting acid burns or lyme disease or scurvy or whatever. He keeps internally chewing out Airplane for designing a sect system that means there are a lot of largely unsupervised 12-year-olds running around the wilderness on a mountain picking fights all the time. (When he actually meets Shang Qinghua and figures him out he switches to doing it in person, of course, in twice-monthly bitching sessions that look a lot like budding friendship.)

Of course one of the worst offenders is the Liu kid, who SY would suspect was actually raised by wolves if he didn't know for a fact that Liu Qingge has a younger sister, and also the kinds of nice clothing and letters from home that strongly imply not only does he have a family, but that the family is pretty well-off. Liu Qingge is at first deeply offended by SY being a BZP disciple. He rarely fights anyone, and uses tricks and evasion tactics whenever a fight can't be avoided. And he does other annoying stuff, like pestering him about meals and baths and lecturing him on identifying dangerous plants and the early signs of qi deviation. This is not what their peak is about! He should get with the program already! Just fight stuff until you're too tired to keep fighting stuff!

Also SY's younger brother, SJ, is pure evil (at least according to baby Liu Qingge) even though his other younger brother (?) is cool and nice.

Anyway, Liu Qingge stops complaining about SY after their first mission together, where Liu Qingge doesn't lose a fight but does get into a kind of pyrrhic victory situation where he's really badly hurt, and it's SY who helps him win (correctly identifying the monster and then pointing out its weakness) and takes care of him afterwards and gets him safely back to Cang Qiong. SY expresses surprise at LQG actually being polite to him, and LQG realizes that he's been a colossal ass if people think he wouldn't be grateful to someone who saved his life, so the usual Liushen dynamic proceeds from there. Liu Qingge starts bringing SY fans he leaves behind and hunts down animals that are supposed to be useful for bolstering weak cultivation, SY invites LQG to tea and keeps the critters as pets, etc etc.

SY doesn't get the Head Disciple position, because that's only acquired via beating the current peak lord in combat and lol no. Also he's not interested in stealing it from Liu Qingge, to whom it rightfully belongs (in his mind). But that's fine, because Liu Qingge takes the position when the next generation ascends and then he lets SY exclusively handle all the peak duties SY actually likes (mainly teaching). It's perfect -- Liu Qingge gets to focus on his War God antics and occasional administration/meetings without having to deal with students his has no patience for, but the disciples of BZP don't get neglected because SY is actually teaching and organizing classes and student care. BZP hasn't enjoyed a golden age like this since it was founded!

Things are pretty good overall, but Shen Yuan knows that it's only a matter of time before The Plot shows up, and so he can't rest completely easily.

Meanwhile, the will-they-or-won't-they bets on Liushen have been going strong for a while now. The thing is, most of their martial siblings are convinced that these two are already "together", and just being circumspect about it. Those who know SY well (like SJ, YQY, and SQH) know better but think that SY's romantic obtuseness is to blame, whereas those who know LQG well (LMY, WQW, and MQF) are pretty sure that it's actually LQG's obtuseness that's the problem. Of course it's actually both of them, so efforts to "fix" matters by getting through one of their thick skulls inevitably run afoul of the other's.

An additional complication is of course: SJ doesn't like LQG (mutual), and now that he's the leader of his own peak, he wants to poach SY to come and live there. Not only so he can have one of the 2 people he trusts actually close at hand, but also because SJ also hates actually teaching the atrocious little brats on his peak, and would like to have SY come and do it for him. YQY is still a total pushover for him too, and is also now the sect leader, so YQY agrees that SY can change peaks if SY and LQG both agree to it.

Liu Qingge, of course, is a no, but he's a variable "no". He's not going to hold Shen Yuan against his will or anything.

As for Shen Yuan, it's... complicated. He doesn't really like BZP, but it's gotten a lot better than it was at the start. These days he's actually pretty proud of his accomplishments, and it's more comfortable, but it's still a rough and rowdy place with fewer creature comforts, libraries, or other appealing points than QJP. Also, if he goes to Qing Jing to teach, he can personally ensure that SJ doesn't go around persecuting any of his students!

But... SJ never lived with the Qiu family in this AU, and even though SY's not totally clear on what the PIDW backstory for SJ was, he knows he's a better guy now than the scum villain in the book was. He has a reputation for making cutting remarks, not for being an abusive snake or a lecher. SY's honestly less worried about him doing anything bad at all, and there are other people on QJP who can teach. It might even be good for SJ to promote more people to fill out a social circle he can rely on! That guy needs more friends, seriously.

And QJP really doesn't need more layabout literary intellectual types who get into pointless arguments, which is all SY would be if he went there. Just yet another nerdy scholar for the rich kids with middling cultivation that the peak favors to ignore. At least on BZP he's filling a gap.

SY is clearly torn, and the fact that SY's considering it has LQG upset, and LQG doesn't handle being upset very well, so of course they have an argument about it. SY storms off to cool his head and LQG is like, this is it, he's gone to Qing Jing Peak, I've drive him off by being too aggressive and he's probably remembering all those times I told him he didn't belong here and oh no what have I done maybe if I build him a heated bath and get him books he will come back???

Turns out that SY just went to An Ding to vent at SQH while SQH was like "I think you would have fewer problems if you and Liu Qingge just got married and my disciples could call you Shigu to your face instead of behind your back" and SY threw melon seeds at him and sulked on his fainting couch (which is always cold for some reason...)

Thus begins the Liushen Divorce Arc where SY tries to be anywhere but BZP or QJP, Liu Qingge tries to figure out what thing he can punch to fix this not-punchable problem, SJ is like "I don't see what the big deal is they should break up Liu Qingge is awful and I want my brother to teach my classes for me" like the spoiled youngest sibling he's finally allowed to be, YQY is trying to moderate this Hades vs Demeter situation and is all "well maybe SY could spend half the year on QJP and half on BZP?", and Liu Mingyan is going "I know my brother if this doesn't work out he is going to die single and pining like an idiot" and so keeps conscripting other disciples to y'know, lock SY and LQG into storage closets together (ineffective: LQG can punch through walls) or at least get them in the same room (underestimating SY's willingness to yeet himself out of windows to avoid awkward social interactions.)

By the time Luo Binghe joins the sect (as a Qiong Ding disciple), the drama is in full swing and is the main topic of gossip across most of the peaks.

#svsss #scum villain's self saving system #liushen #long post #sy doesn't even realize lbh has already arrived until someone mentions 'luo-shidi' on qiong ding in passing #he nearly has a heart attack #why isn't this kid on qing jing peak?!#(why would he be on QJP now though? SJ's not gonna want him not even to pathologically torment and he's promising enough for QDP)#SY: well I guess... that settles that? not enough reason to move to QJP if luo binghe isn't even there. everything can stop being weird now #LQG: then we shall have a spring wedding #I like to think the changes to the world are so substantial that the setting just shifts to a less angsty action/adventure story #now the cang qiong crowd are the colorful side characters instead of complicit in lbh's many torments

Im sitting here reflecting on new years of 20 years ago. Of course, this leads me to BIONICLE nostalgia.

We’re going back to December 2003.

Bitch, the entire damn BIONICLE world was just shaken up by the phrase “You were not the first toa!”, but before you even got to that part in the comic, you saw these two pages:

This was extremely confusing to 7-year-old me because I don’t believe I knew anything about metru-nui before seeing these sets. My eyes immediately went to Nuhrii because he is objectively the coolest metrutoran. Of course, he was the first I bought when these sets showed up in stores. I think I even opened him in the store and read the comic that came with him, of course leading to Mindfuck Part 2: THESE NEW TOA HAVE THE SAME NAMES AS THE TURAGA??????

I also remember trying to figure out which one of them was “touched by darkness”. I decided it was Orkahm because his description said his “dangerous plot” could lead to “the end of all matoran” (was that just the stupid chute implosion?). I think even my mom knew it was Ahkmou just based on these descriptions alone.

I don’t remember much about how BZP reacted to this news. I should go back and read some of their older articles and see if I somehow remember them. The point of this all is just me looking back 20 years ago and seeing what memories I still have. This is one of them. Also, I’m now on the hunt for a near-mint sealed Nuhrii because I’m fucking stupid like that. Thanks, nostalgia.

I’m having the bionicle dream tonight again, aren’t I? Happy new year.

Star Trek: Discovery Narrative Highlights

So I really like Discovery, but differently than I like other Star Treks. My love for Voyager, for instance, is based off the sense of found-family in the face of sci-fi shenanigans. I could pick out favorite episodes, but my favorite episodes don't necessarily represent the epitome of what I love about the show, y'know?

It's different with Disco. There are concrete moments from through out the show that made me go "Okay, I like this, I want this. More of this." Here's some of them! This is indulgent and all from memory

Season 1 - Klingons Speak Klingon

In a story about Klingons fearing the Federation as an institution which will irrevocably alter their culture, the Klingons actually speak Klingon. Love it. Season 1 - Gabriel Lorca

I loved seeing a Star Fleet captain who seemed to have ascended because of his skill at war: a trait which ordinarily would not elevate one within Starfleet service, per se. It made him interesting. Your mileage may vary on where this went, but. He's still a big appeal on rewatch.

Season 2 - Queer People Helping Queer People

The introduction of Jet Reno is one of my favorite hallmarks in the show. I love Jet, and I love the way she serves as a foil to every other character. But best of all, I loved the scene when she is talking to Hugh Culber about how distant he's been from his husband (since coming back from the dead, so, you know) and helps him by relating her own story about her wife, who is now passed. To say I'm happy to see queer stories on Star Trek is a massive understatement, but this was the moment it locked in for me. In the world of the Federation, there's no difference between being queer or straight and anyone could've talked Hugh out of his funk. But in our world, it's usually queer people helping queer people make sense of their experiences. Recognizing the importance of that distinction and going with the queers-helping-queers take is a really big deal for me.

Season 2 - Amanda

This is hands-down the best representation of Amanda we've ever been given and she is so wonderfully human and warm that it helps you understand Spock and Michael so much better. I don't know what to say other than that, I love her.

Season 3 - The Future

I love that they went not just into the future, but further into the future than any mainline trek lore has gone. Hell yes. I'm bummed it's kinda a post-Utopian mess, but I get storywise why that's the case. I love the future starships, I love the future technology, I like that we just "BZP" to wherever we want to be in the ship now. In a show increasingly steeped in centuries of canon lore, it's smart and challenging to try to do "a millennium in the future."

Season 3 - Queer Family

Queer Family! Queer Family in Star Trek! This is my queers-helping-queers point but dialed up to 11. Love it, would do anything for it.

Season 4 - Artificial Intelligence

The ship is alive and she's named herself. This comes to a head in an episode in Season 4 where Paul Stamets feels very hesitant about this, after the plot of Season 2 was trying to stop AI from destroying the galaxy. There's this whole Measure of a Man but Not Quite Because Its the B Story thing going on, but at the end of it, there's a twist. Paul eventually learns to accept his new crewmate, but then he asks the person in-charge of the inquest "What would you have done if I said I wasn't comfortable serving with an AI?" and the dude goes "I would've assigned you to another ship. This was never about whether she has a soul or whatever, it's about if you can learn to accept that with you 22nd century brain." And that's.... that's great.

Season 4 - Mental Health

Mental Health is a thread running through some of Discovery (Season 2 flirts with Spock's neurodivergence, for instance) but never more than in Season 4. Hugh Culber, the ship's ray of sunshine and de facto counselor, is in bad shape, mentally, and he needs help. But the best moment is when the away-team is beset by chemical memories of panic and basically rendered useless with fear... except for Detmer, who helps them all get through it. When asked why she was unaffected, she says "Oh I totally was affected, but after my grievous injury during the war, I went to therapy for the PTSD and learned some coping strategies" AND THAT'S WHAT SAVES THE GALAXY.

Anyway, this is very indulgent and probably nobody reads this, but thanks if you did.

#star trek #star trek discovery #disco #Jet reno #Michael Burnham #Hugh Culber #Paul Stamets #keyla detmer #i will probably delete this

This is part 2 of 'allegations' against SJ

"Oh, SJ is a child abuser who abused talented disciples." Okay... Just name three disciples he abused other than LBH. Or give me one statement about it given by the great lord Airplane shooting towards the sky. Do you have any? No, right? It came from an unreliable shit called Shen Yuan who, from his hcs, had always believed SJ abused talented disciples. If SJ did abuse some unnamed disciples, then why didn't they come to testify against him? It was only LBG who cried to others about how he was uuuuuuuu..... abused by his master.... 😭 Then again, isn't this another way to manipulate people? I'm not saying this isn't canon. But isn't this exaggerating more than what actually happened? Even your YQY 'who has always been biased towards SJ' claimed that his treatment towards LBH was wrong. No 'xyz/abc/lmn' disciple, only LBH.

And okay, maybe he did, in modern terms, abuse his disciples but in ancient China, it is fucking normal. There are so many novels in which whipping their disciples is a method of discipline. The perfect example is in MXTX's 2nd book MDZS. Didn't LQR whip his disciples? Isn't LWJ's back full of whip scars? Then how come SJ whipping LBH or his disciples is abuse?

Even in SVSSS, LQG abandoned his disciples, and when he comes back, he beat them black and blue until they all needed to end up at QCP. Hell, even your 'Holy mother of God SY' has abandoned and abused his—no, no, no, not his but SJ's disciples mentally. I'll never call them SY's disciples. They have to deal with BZP regularly. They have to pay for the damages caused by BZP from their own allowances. And what did SY do? He was annoyed by it and continued to coddle LBH. He has the audacity to claim himself as SQQ PL of QJP. Then shouldn't he take responsibility for the Peak and their disciples? No, his only priority has always been LBH—only to save his own ass, might I add.

Also, 'Holy mother of God SY' directly abused some BZP disciples. He was 'punishing' them using their Shifu as bait. He made LQG beat up his own disciples only because they were abusing LBH, no MF, no NYY or any other QJP disciple. Only because they were abusing LBH."

I saw these prototypes on Twitter, and I thought I’d share since some people might not’ve seen ‘em.

Original post featuring the red helmet was made by BonkleChaser.

Second gold helmet and other parts were shared by TheRealTBOC.

The helmets were apparently BZP give aways.

Finally built all the 2006 combiners:

Botar - 11/10. This made me realize *why* Axonn was built so weird while Brutaka was a killer solo set; it's in order to meld them both fully into Botar. If you only have time/budget for a single combiner in your collection, this is the one you want to get. How small the pile of unused pieces is when your done is *shocking,* it might be the smallest ratio ever amongst combiners. I don't want to spoil it too much, but it's great.

Kardas - 3/10. Points mainly come from an interesting chest and wing build, but *all* the limbs feel wrong. Wrong to look at, purposeless and spindly vibes as you build it, squandered use of the piston pieces. I've table scrapped better arms and legs. The neck barely stays upright, and falls over from a stiff breeze. Loses points because of: how annoying it is to need to rebuild Vezon from the waist up and the Fenrakk skull; I lost a 3Long pin in the Kardas skull when rebuilding it into Fenrakk, truly bad design there; it doesn't conserve pieces in order to provide pins for Vezon to stand on, he's just hanging off the chain in the promo pictures even.

Whereas Brutaka and Axonn combine beautifully, Kardas needs another draft to incorporate V&F. I think an opportunity to make the axes the hands of the dragon exists, but serious work would need to be done on the legs and neck. Not worth your time, unless you're the kind of mad lad who wants to rebuild it better AND you have the budget to buy three titan sets, or already have some of them. (Tangentially, I have a vague memory of OnuaNut doing this on BZP with the Mata Nui titan set but I don't know how to find it again, anyone seen that thread?)

Lava Hawk - 9/10. Similar to Botar, I now get that the matoran looked That Way to accomodate this satisfying build. Also just a great looking bird. If your combiner budget isn't super high, this one is an easy second to Botar.

Dagger Spider - 7/10. Body build is neat, but another spider? After all that visorak stuff? C'mon man. The Matoran look That Way for this again. Solid little build, slap it together if you have the sets but you don't need to seek out another four legged spider, there's already a dozen of those.

Jovan - 5.5/10. It's... Nuparu but bristling with metal. Totally devoid of the blue or yellow from Hewkii and Hahli. Iunno. Maybe this'll be good for people who buy the Batman or evil Star Wars sets made of only black and grey. It's not doing anything for me. Neat use of Hewkii's chain but it is, truly, just another Inika build, if slightly wider. Bonus half point for staying upright, unlike Kardas. But it's also unsalvageable, unlike Kardas - I don't see a way to nullify the problems here. Skip this one, even if he's the only non-Takanuva Toa set to control an element that's not one of the main six.

Irnakk - 8.5/10. Honestly, this is as good as the Lava Hawk, but I'm docking half a point because you can't build it with just the sets, you technically need five extra pieces. Still looks *really* good without them, and the build is even fun unlike some on this list. Next to Zaktan, it does look like something that would fuck him up. Give it a whirl.

Protodax - 7.5/10. Bahahaha. This one was made for me specifically. It's goofy and silly AND it looks better than most of the 2005 rahi combiners. YMMV but I loved it. Good use of a piraka spine. The build isn't anything to write home about, but I looks like a blorbo, if a blorbo had three heads. Adding a half point purely because of the out-of-the-box design that may be the most unhinged *while-still-cohesive* build I've seen simultaneously. This is the anti-Jovan in a lot of ways. Look, just build it for me so you can have a good laugh as well, okay? Great.

#what all do I tag this #Bionicle #Brutaka #Axonn #Vezon #Botar #bionicle combiners #Irnakk #open to debate on this because again Your Mileage May Vary with any of these #but I feel confident I got the numbers in the right ballpark

Hey, I decided to go digging around my PC files for anything interesting from that time and I found a lost sprite kit made by my old friend Xanis, the Xaniskit 2.0. It never got wildly popular like some others so it's likely very hard to find this online.

It's missing from the BZP Comics wiki and the creator's deviantArt account (here's 1.0 btw). The only other upload of this that I could find is on a random user's Brickshelf account here.

The Greg Farshtey Recap #2

Welcome back to the Greg Farshtey Recap, where we’ll be looking through every available Q&A session and forum thread featuring the author of the BIONICLE comics, story serials and majority of the books, in order to understand what’s really important about those threads. Today we continue going through the BZPower interviews preceding the Official Greg Discussion Topic. Without further ado, let’s get to it!

“Q: How do the Toa/Tohunga/Turaga(etc) eat and drink and breathe?

A: Well, we know they breathe, and I assume they breathe the same way all the rest of us do. I don't know if they eat or drink at all.”

While in MNOG the Matoran were seen eating (for example in the scene where Matoro gave Takua some Bula berries), that appears to not have been officially determined by the story team, as many creative decisions in the aforementioned game came directly from its developers. About a year later, a confirmation would be presented in "Tales of the Masks", which outright shows Onua and Whenua having a snack during one of their adventures:

Later, the Toa and the Turaga sat in a small cavern and shared a meal from their packs. -Tales of the Masks

—————————————————————————–

“Q: How long do you see the Bionicle biz to keep going?

A: Well, let me put it this way. The BIONICLE storyline is divided into "books" by the heads of the story team. The books are different lengths, and I believe that at end of this year we will only have completed one. There are at least 7 books that I know of in existence, possibly more. So as long as there is an audience for it, we have stories to tell.”

This would be the first mention of the famous “Seven Books of BIONICLE” (from which only three got to be told), if not for the fact that in an earlier interview someone already asked a question using that terminology:

“Q: Would you call this "Book" (2001-2004), the "Book of Makuta"? If so will this be the ultimate end of makuta? Or is this just the beginning of what Makuta has got in store for us?

A: Well, I don't know what I would call the book... I do know the movie will offer some resolution to the conflict with Makuta, but I honestly cannot say whether that will be the last time he appears. At this point, I know the story plans through '04, but not much beyond that, and I know there are plans that go well beyond '04.”

It’s speculated that the first mention of the Seven Books actually happened when Greg initially explained that the BIONICLE line wasn’t being discontinued in 2003, as this was the main reason he came to the BZP boards in 2002 in the first place.

-—————————————————————————–

“Q: Will there be any type of "before time" story of the krana and every other creature? (krana could of been an intelligent race but were turned into small masks and lost there free will because of the bahrag)

A: That's possible, but I don't think it will happen in the immediate future.”

Once again, when Greg doesn’t deny something there’s a reason for it. In this case it’s most likely in reference to the prequel Books, as at this point the Metru Nui story was already in development, and we know from the author of the concept of Books, Bob Thompson, that the next prequels would go back in time even further. Another interesting thing is the backstory for the Krana proposed here by the fan, as it brings to mind the Zyglak, who were a byproduct of the Great Beings making Krana. I doubt that the suggestion was used years later, especially since Greg wasn’t allowed to read fanfictions so he couldn’t be accused of stealing someone’s idea, but it’s an interesting coincidence nonetheless.

—————————————————————————–

“Q: In the video of the "New Invention Saves Onu-Koro" update on Bionicle.com it says that when a Bohrok looses it's Krana it can't move, but in the first Bohrok comics Vakama says that if a Bohrok looses its Krana it can be humbled, can you clear this up?

A: In some cases, Bohrok who lose their krana aren't moving, but that's usually because they have been stunned (making it easier to get their krana out of them). Bohrok with their krana removed do not freeze up and shut down... they basically become like cars still in drive with no drivers. They wander aimlessly until someone comes along who can essentially reprogram them and give them direction again.”

That is a surprisingly thoughtful detail, and most importantly one that would play a role in the story, as after the defeat of the Bahrag, the Kranaless Bohrok get reprogrammed to help Matoran rebuild the villages. The relation between the Swarm, Krana and Matoran is a very interesting one and there will be many more questions that will give us a chance to explore it.

—————————————————————————–

“Q: Why are the Toa having trouble overcoming their differences? Didn't they already do that?

A: Yes and no. They have been forced to work together, because they weren't powerful enough individually to stop the Bahrag, or Makuta, etc. But some, like Kopaka, really don't like working in a team. And after months of constantly being together, they are starting to get on each others' nerves. Add to that suddenly they have this new power and think they don't need each other anymore, and it makes sense they would split up. (After all, you probably have some good friends, but do you want to be around them ALL the time?)”

This is something that the fans argue about to this day, and personally I’ve always shared the interpretation given here. It feels more relatable that you don’t always learn a lesson or grow past your flaws in just one adventure. Sometimes, it takes time and many tries (especially here, given how polarizingly different personalities some Toa have).

—————————————————————————–

And with this we conclude the second entry in our recap series! Like the first time, let’s quickly go through what we have learned from each question about the state of things in late 2002/early 2003: -eating and drinking by the Matoran wasn’t determined yet, even with MNOG showing the former -some fans were already familiar with the concept of the “Seven Books of BIONICLE” -Greg didn’t deny the possibility of flashback stories -Losing Krana on its own didn’t cause the Bohrok to freeze -Greg saw Toa constantly splitting up as something that would make sense for those characters

Once again, shoutouts the The Great Archives and I’ll see you again (hopefully) on Ankut Nui day, with something quite special...

How to boof meth

What is Boofing Drugs or Alcohol?

Boofing drugs is sometimes also referred to as plugging drugs. It is the process of inserting drugs or alcohol into your anus to get a more immediate high. Because your anal cavity has a high number of blood vessels and a thinner surface layer, substances inserted into this area are absorbed at a faster rate than with oral consumption. People can boof several different drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, and alcohol, but there are several dangers of boofing drugs – it could even be fatal.

How to boof meth? Boof meth is a potent psychoactive drug that can produce powerful hallucinations. It is also known as BZP, benzylpiperazine, or "party pill".

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid this drama due to stepping away from the Bionicle fan community for a while…buuuut I am too curious for my own good. So I’ve got to ask, what is the drama surrounding the TTV Canonization Contests?

They have been handled extremely poorly.

Round 1, Helryx, is something I've explored here. To give a TL;DR, it had basically no rules and extremely limited moderation. People made whatever the hell they felt like and called it "Helryx", and the whole thing was eventually dominated by a very obvious shitpost entry that attracted multiple coordinated brigading efforts because it sucked so bad. One of TTV's site mods actually DQ'd it instantly, but Eljay reinstated it for basically office politics. It was ultimately defeated by an entry that, IMO, looks less like a Toa and more like a Voyatoran-style Turaga, and the builder was a massive asshole who harassed and bullied other members of the community off-site. He also deleted his build-breakdown video (required by the rules to ensure no modified pieces or illegal techniques are involved) and replaced it with a link to a video of a farting hippo, because Rickrolls are just too mature for some people.

Round 2, Artakha, went relatively smoothly. However, it was almost entirely run by former TTV member Kini-Hawkeye, while Eljay and Meso did very little to help. Hawkeye did make a few mistakes, mainly not giving late-submitted entries to the art rounds time to correct rule-violations, and making a bit of a mess of the polls, but the resulting MOC and art were universally beloved by builders, artists, and Greg alike, everyone... except the artist, who in response to the recent drama has requested their name be struck off of the BS01 page for the character.

Round 3, the Toa Hagah, started in May, and has been running at a glacial pace ever since. Eljay and Meso have dragged their feet massively, citing work and life issues (fair), stalling to release updates on 8/10 (questionable), tiredness from attending Brickfair VA (no), and being sad over Sokoda's anniversary diorama dying again (fucking ridiculous) as reasons for their lethargy, and have also been radio silent through a lot of it. The fandom has gone increasingly stir-crazy, often devolving into open rebellion, demonstrating that they can run this shit better than TTV can, calling TTV out for their BS, etc. And all this for a contest to decide the appearance of four unmade clone sets. Also the dickweed that made the winning Helryx won again with a Bomonga that used Metru torsos for all of his limbs, but was presented in such a way that actively thumbed the nose at TTV's rules and moderation... and he got away with it because Eljay and Meso were actively not paying attention to the entries.

We just had a big external survey that indicates that while a lot of the fandom remains pro-contest, they are deeply unsatisfied with TTV's handling and may prefer it to be either conducted by an alliance of Bionicle fan sites (Including TTV but also BS01, BZP, Mask of Destiny, and Red Star Games), or given over to one of those entirely.

It's been ride.

I see some people get defensive here in your blog about SY's deserving a name or not. I don't have a completly firmes opinion on that, I've seen valid points in both sides. But saying that SY didn't earn his name is not necessarily hating on him. I don't dislike him. And I don't blame him for getting SJ's life, since he had no choice in the matter, he Just did his best in the situation . But It doesn't change the fact SJ is the one who worked for It. Those points are not contraditory.

THANK YOU!

I don’t say these things out of disdain for SY. In fact I have grievances about his character that don’t even revolve around him holding SQQ’s title because in canon it’s understandable why! The constant degradation of SJ because of his treatment of Bing is what’s upsetting me because it’s usually hypocritical when you also have these people loving on child abusing LQG (because let’s be honest BZP is abusive and violent and it’s literally canon. I do still like lqg but you have to admit he’s violent and physical most times) this is not a jab at LQG or his fans just an example

I don’t say these things out of malice either. I’m just stating what I see. SY holding the name in canon because of his placement is understandable. I only stress that in fandom I- ME- MOI will not be calling him that. Shen Qingqiu is Shen Jiu and will stay Shen Jiu. Unless canon compliant to SY’s body snatching He will not be called Shen Qingqiu.

I’m glad you understand that I’m not trying to cause any drama or make anyone upset. This is just MY personal opinion on who’s named what.

#shen jiu #shen qingqiu #shen qingqiu is shen jiu #Shen yuan #svsss chat #svsss #mxtx #hate me if you want but it’s my opinion #I don’t care if you don’t like Shen Jiu #you have to admit that he worked hard to get that title #Shen yuan wouldn’t have survived a day in a peak under the same circumstances

Ik I'm late but Reply to: https://www.tumblr.com/danmeiconfession/739733352626749441/why-are-we-fighting-over-who-in-svsss-is-morally

Anon, it isn't about who rly is morally right in svsss. It's about how you stan your fav who is immoral. But hate on SJ, who only did 1 thing wrong; which is singling out LBH, might I add a PROTAGONIST, and abuse him. Cos if LBH wasn't a protag, no one would've care if he abused him or not. Cos I've some examples in svsss who did abuse children but got away with it.

SY is a lazy, 2nd Generation young master, neet and an internet hater. He bullied SQH to change his original plot, then had the audacity to hate on it. After transmigrating, his only plan was to survive, not to change LBM or the plot. He was okay if LBM DID turn out as a tyrant, as long as he is alive with his LIMBS INTACT. Had 3 yrs to prepare for LBM's abyss arc and stopping LBM's blackening fully. But instead, he DID NTH but to lazy around the Peak, coddling and spoiling LBM, giving him an assurance that demonic cultivation is okay in CQMS and when the time came, accused LBM of being a demon and pushed him in abyss after stabbing him. LBM wouldn't have turned out the way he did, if SY didn't pull that shit. He isn't a good teacher. He emotionally abused QJP disciples, abandoning them, getting irritated if anyone starts crying but coddles LBM if he did the same. He had also abused BZP disciples indirectly, using LQG to beat up his disciples ONLY COS they were bullying LBM, not any other QJP disciple. He still continued to abuse SQH, a fellow transmigrator. He is also a groomer, might I add, he was grooming LBM into a tyrant, who'll listen to him, tho he didn't know he was unintentionally grooming LBM sexually as well. And his biggest crime is till the end he is impersonating someone else, ik he didn't have a choice but he could've come clean that he isn't who they all think he is.

LBM is an obsessive freak, manipulating SY into having his way, he tortured SY just cos he 'thought' he got rejected by his shizun. Beat up SHL, used some innocent cultivators to satiate XM's hunger, tried to SA SY and last but not the least, tried to merge the 3 realms and killing n no. of innocent ppl with it.

Okay, LBG makes my blood boil, he is the worst out of all the immoral Gays out there. He is everything SJ was accused for! He is a mass murderer. He did genocide, he is behind the destruction on 3 realms, killing so many innocent humans and cultivators alike. He is a rapist, raping innocent women in 2 digits. He is fucking abuser himself! He abused and tortured SJ for years. Turned him into a human-stick! Just bcos he couldn't handle some whipping, which was a simple form of punishment in ancient China. He wasn't even abused to the extend SJ did, but had the audacity to cry about it to everyone, about how horrible his shizun is. He had also tortured SY and tried to rape him. And had to look pitiful when SY rejected him. Only cos SY was a nicer version of his shizun.

LQG may try to be a righteous man, but trust me he isn't. No righteous man will belittle anyone. He looked down upon sex workers. Belittled SJ, who he knew nth about. Abusing his own disciples, abandoning them whenever he felt like it. In Jinlan city arc he kidnapped civilians so MQF could experiment on them. Pls don't tell me it is morally right to you.

YQY's biggest crime is his silence. He was silent when PLs were accusing SJ and spreading rumours about him, when he knew about SJ. He never stopped those rumors from spreading. He never stopped the PLs to shit on SJ. He kept his silence. He was silent when SJ warned him about SQH. He NEVER listened to SJ, whenever he tried to warn him about smth and then SJ had to deal with the outcome. He was silent when LBG came to accuse SJ of his crimes. He NEVER opened his mouth. He never asked his martial siblings to get along with SJ, but expected that from SJ. He knew his brother but still believed the crimes against him.

SQH, og or airplane doesn't matter, is a mass murderer. He killed innocent young cultivators in IAC. He was conspiring with demons against his own kind! The only difference between them is, airplane was a little bit kind. Cos he didn't unleashed, dangerous and deadly monsters. He tried to help SJ when LQG accused him of backstabbing or gave him an advice for future Lingxi Caves event. He isn't rly that kind either. PIDW ended the way it did cos he got corrupt. He started licking his benefactors feet. Og did everything on his own volition. He never cared for anyone in this world.

MBJ, just like SQH, is a mass murderer. He is the mastermind behind the demon invasion in IAC, killing innocent young cultivators. He also abused SQH constantly.

Looking at your fav none of them are morally right but when it comes to staning one of them only SJ gets the backlash and says, "Stop staning SJ, stan SY he is kinder version of SQQ," "uwu LBH/LBM/LBG is a traumatized little meowmeow. He ended up like this cos he was abused in the past," "YQY is a traumatized little guy, he scared to loose everything in his life!" "SQH is forced to do everything!" And last, "LQG is a righteous cultivator, he'll never do anything wrong!"
