One Tenth Scale Mata Nui

Mata Nui is a cool place, but did you ever feel that it was a bit...big for what it was?

The official maps put the island at 357 kio long, which if you take to be a stand in for kilometres¹, would make the island 357 kilometres long.

This lines up roughly with what we can see in the concept art: they say that Mata Nui is around the size of Denmark, the real measurement being 368km, and it matches with what we see in the Mata Nui Rising cgi video.

So that's all well and good, Mata Nui is 357km long, the GSR itself is 3300km tall, all hunky-dory, as long as you ignore some guy named Greggory yelling about how the robot is actually much bigger, but its fine to ignore him.

But now, actually consider what this means. Denmark is by no means a small country, it has a population of 6 million and would take hours to drive across by car on modern roads. Now that isn't an issue really, but in most media depicting the island its shown to be a place that can be traversed by foot or on animal back in a reasonable time frame.

But now let us look at this earlier map:

Initially the most interesting thing to me on this map was the 3rd measurement: the height of the Mangai volcano²

Now on the one hand, this was cool, now I know how tall to make the volcano, on the other hand... 23km seems pretty big.

It is. 23km is higher than Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in the solar system, standing at only 21.9km. So that's pretty big. This made me start thinking about how far various things are apart and how long it would actually take and using some very VERY generous numbers I started plotting out how long it would take to actually get from place to place.

It wasn't very pretty. In the Mata Nui Online Game it would have taken Takua roughly 5 hours to walk from the beach to Ta-Koro, and another 18 to get to Onu-Koro using the highway. Now this would be fine in an epic like Lord of the Rings, but in Bionicle Mata Nui is consistently treated as a place people can pretty quickly get around on.

The Toa are running all over the place and bumping in to each other. Kopaka getting in to the Caldera at the top of the Mangai volcano isn't the equivalent of climbing 3 Mt Everests in a row, its just something he does. Takua travels all over the island in a pretty small amount of time, unless we're supposed to insert day long journeys in between every screen transition.

But then I noticed something. Something very interesting.

Now lets look at the two keys for the sizes on the released and the early map:

Seems pretty consistent, the sizes of the island are the same, a Toa is 1.6 bio on both (incidentally a real Toa figure is approximately 16cm tall), everything seems to match.

But then I counted the zeroes.

The old map has a kio being not 1000 bio, but 100!

You can even see it on the other version of the map.

Now this is incredibly interesting! This shrinks Mata Nui to 1/10th of its commonly accepted size! It goes from being the size of Denmark to being the size of the Isle of Man.

Which....really works a lot better! This turns Takua's trip from the beach from a 5 hour hike to a short half hour walk. This turns the cable car to Mt Ihu from a massive 70km mega structure to something that's dwarfed by real world constructions.

I don't think this is a mistake either, looking at the details of the map.

You have much finer details, such as these ice shelves collapsing in to small icebergs, whereas on the full sized map some of the larger chunks of ice are kilometres across.

One of the major things it includes are the mesas that can bee seen in many of the promotional renders set in Le-Wahi which are nowhere to be seen on the final map. At this 1/10 scale the plateaus seen would match up well with the massive mesas seen in monument valley in terms of size, but with the final size they would be absolutely massive (10 times as big if you can believe it!)

So suffice to say, I don't think this is just a case of a zero being dropped, it really seems to line up with the level of detail on this earlier map.

But what does this do to the GSR? I hear you cry, well it varies. Going by the earlier numbers it would simply be 1/10th the size, so 330km tall instead of 3300km, so still very large, but depending on the size relationship between the robot and the island it could be as "small" as 180km

The island in this picture is roughly the same size as normal, just covers more of the GSR. The final GSR's head is so proportionately tiny compared to its body that the Mata Nui island had to be very small to cover it. But in any case, a robot "only" 180km tall standing up is still going to tower over anything, its many times higher than airplanes fly, its taller than most clouds, really it would be quite consistent with this render:

So, in conclusion, an earlier concept of the island of Mata Nui has it being 1/10 of the size of the final, and that size seems to work better with what we see in various media from the time, and works better with the story.

Personally this is what I'll be going with in terms of the scale of the island going forward, as it really fits with my vision of the setting and works well with all the story and media from that time.

¹-I don't care about someone saying a bio is 4.375966487787¾ feet, feet aren't real and neither are you. ²-Mt Ihu is NOT the highest point on the island, the GSR isn't Pinocchio with a big pointy nose, this has never been reflected in any visual media.

thank you for reading/have a nice day

Now I've joined this party really, very, awfully late, so I'm sure this has been said before. But I need to say it nonetheless.

Their outfirst are essentially made up of the same elements.

I mean, let's see.

• Jacket ✔️

• Waistcoat ✔️

• Shirt thingy ✔️

• Trousers ✔️

• A tie of some sort ✔️

• Belt ❌ – oh but wait. What is a belt maid for? To hold up trousers. So can suspenders be the equivalent of a belt? I think so ✔️

• AND while Azi is sporting a pocket watch, Crowley's got a wristwatch ✔️

Crowley's glasses should probably be mentioned. Other than hiding those serpentine eyes, they're also very good at hiding feelings, eh?

Well, here's Aziraphale's take on that:

Again, somebody probably already posted about this before, or it might just be obvious. Wasn't obvious for me, so enjoy.

What is bullfrog’s height?

let’s find out shall we?

So According to Fandom.com’s character profile wikia, Jade is 5’4” or roughly 165 CM.

if Bullfrog stands up to half her height then he’s about uh…idk 3 feet??? Idk I got something wrong with the calculator or what? I thought they were 4 foot something though.

Rayman is canonically something like 149 centimeters so 150-151 could fit here too.

& I didn’t pull that height out of my ass, Here’s a chart someone here made!

Credit to @raygirlramblings for figuring out this out.

that means that if Bullfrog is canonically slightly taller than he’s about 5 foot sharp. Meaning whoever pulled 5 foot 4 for Jade was wrong? Idk.

Kinda spoilery

Now that all the normies are gone...

So you know at the end of bugsnax when filbo says something along the lines of "these bugsnax will take a long while to wear off" before he offers to stay with you... So i wonder..

What about liz and egg? Do you think the bugsnax will wear off on them? What would happen if they did? Bugsnax 2?????? Idk really just a thought

Okay guys. Horrific thought: it’s October, the Lovejoy tour is almost over. Wilbur is should be coming back to the QSMP soon. And Tallulah is still gone. But he doesn’t know that.

Imagine with me for a moment, Wilbur returning to the treehouse to look for Tallulah and there she is!! Which her maracas that’s she’s shaking about and her signs that say “Welcome home Papa.”

Now imagine Phil logs on. He sees Wilbur’s online and he goes cold. Tallulah is still gone. She’s been missing for weeks. Wilbur trusted him to take care of his daughter and he lost her. Not once but twice, and she’s not home yet. He has to break it to Wil that she’s gone. But there’s hope, she spoke to him once a few weeks ago. With that in mind he goes to find Wil.

He sees them, running across the wall to go try the parkour course. Them. Wilbur and Tallulah. But Tallulah is gone. He feels a flutter of hope in his heart, maybe Chayanne is back. He approaches them, calling out to the two of them. Laughs as Wil fails the glass neo, and stops dead in his tracks when Tallulah demonstrates how to do it properly for her Papa.

Now Phil doesn’t want to diminish her accomplishments. But Tallulah has asthma, she can’t do that. He watches her bounce around without trouble where she normally stumbles.

That’s not Tallulah. That’s code. Wilbur is in danger.

He questions it. If he’s seeing what he’s seeing, but he knows his eggs. Tallulah isn’t here.

He pulls out his sword and goes for the kill.

Now let’s go back to Wil. He doesn’t know about the code. The only person he’s seen since coming back is Phil, and little Tallulah of course. Yet here Phil is trying to murder his daughter for no reason.

He shouts. He screams. He puts himself between Phil and his daughter. He could try to stop him but Wilbur doesn’t have a sword on him, and he could never beat Phil in a fight anyways.

Phil is shouting at him to move out of the way, but Wilbur can’t hear beyond the pounding in his ears. Why is Phil, the man he trusted to take care of his daughter, trying to kill her?

And Phil is dying inside. He doesn’t want to hurt Wilbur he really doesn’t. But that’s not Tallulah, he’s sure of it now. Wilbur is still screaming at him.

How can he explain that this isn’t his daughter and that the daughter he trusted him to take care of is lost and has been for weeks?

Observation #1:

I have not needed to use my cane since my surprise!appendectomy 2 weeks ago.

Obsevation #2:

Hypermobility is still present in many of my joints, and my back and shoulder pain have remained unchanged.

Hypothesis #1:

My appendix was clearly what was causing my hip issues.

Hypothesis #2:

Each Problem Joint has a connection to an organ in close proximity to it. Remove the organ = remove the problem.

Will report back after further research has been conducted.

The Interpretation of Shadows Theory: Tom's Shadow.

Once again, before I get started link to the comic and one to the webtoon too.

So we haven't seen Tom's shadow yet in the story, and we may never see a shadow of Tom. Right?

Wrong. I'm going to propose that we saw Tom's shadow in "The Hour Earlier" parts 2 & 3, and it isn't even a shadow.

It's light, for some reason, Tom's shadow is a halo-like light.

And I think its unique structure will give it immunity to all other shadows, so if anyone else comes into the comic with a shadow-based ability, Tom will be immune to them too.

However, it could be that Daph's ability doesn't work on Tom because Tom just doesn't have a shadow, giving him immunity to abilities that interact with a person's shadow.

The final possibility is that it's because of Tom and Daph's past or relationship.

I know, I know, I've just listed all possible options, but my guess is the first theory that I suggested.

Have you ever wondered why the lady in waiting uniform in TTS is like this? I mean, a bit conservative? My theory is, the design for this specific attire was Queen Arianna's brainchild. I'm assuming this because she wears quite moderate attires as well. Perhaps, she has a liking for this kind of clothes.

Hypothesis

I hypothesise that love is not limitless.

It is finite in its ability.

Love will stretch, elasticate, and reform.

Love will shape into its need, filling in the cracks of each gap.

Love will bend to its will, until it can no longer take the tension.

Love is conditional.

A clause in a contract, hidden in fine print.

Love is not invincible.

It may want to be.

It may pretend.

But love has its limits.

Some even that love cannot comprehend.

I hypothesise that love is human.

And that love has an end.

Ga-Koro is floating?

Just an interesting interpretation of a couple QFTM cards

The way this is phrased seems to say that the islet that Ga-Koro is on is sinking.

This does match with the map, as the arrow is pointing to a teeny tiny islet, not somewhere on the mainland.

So this island is sinking, from water leaking in. This is quite an interesting scenario so I did a quick sketch of how I think it might work.

Basically there'd be some sort of large hollow cavity within the islet, and the empty cavity sort of helps it with water displacement, turning it in to a bit of a boat. So it doesn't float away I had it still somewhat anchored to the ground, but as the hollow cavity floods it affects the buoyancy of the islet and makes it start to tilt, causing Ga-Koro to begin sinking. Once Gali plugs up the hole the island can stabilise again.

Could work lol.

"It takes more faith to be an atheist," claims the theist.

"Rejecting a hypothesis does not require faith. Accepting it does," replies the atheist.

The message appears to be that “faith” has lead the atheist to believe incorrect things are true and yet be unable to detect the problem. A problem which is exacerbated in proportion to the amount of “faith.” Making it clear that “faith” is unreliable; it can lead to incorrect beliefs which cannot be corrected.

This isn’t so much an argument against atheism as it is a denunciation of faith, the one and only tool in the believer’s belt.

Let's assume there's God. Let's assume there's heaven. Let's assume there's hell. And here on earth, let's assume there are claimants to love.

This is what will be a hypothetical test of love. If God puts two lovers before his hell and tells, 'either of you must jump into it for the other to enter into the heaven.' There will arise only three possible outcomes:

The worst will be when neither of the two will be willing to jump into the fire, thus proving that both of them were utterly fake and false in their claims to love.

The next worst thing to happen will be when one of them plunges himself/herself into the fire while the other was not willing to, thus proving that it was a one-sided love affair in which only one was true while the other was making a hollow claim.

Then comes the best of all situations in which both of them will be willing & ready to throw themselves into the fire so that the other could be saved. This then is the case where their love was truly a success and probably heaven is a place for such lovers who have passed this test of fire.

Our earthly life is nothing but a hypothetical test of love. How much are we willing to undergo pain for the other to have all the pleasure? How much are we ready to sacrifice so that the loved one could live?

The acts of bravery, heroism and altruism are filled throughout the human history whether it be between parents and children, or between masters and disciples, or between two romantic lovers, or even between two friends.

The ones that are true to their core - they will spill their own blood, sweat and tears so that there could be life, ease and joy for their beloved ones.

What is heaven but a place of reunion for such lovers who were ready to give their all for their loved ones!
