bionicle log 1

I'm still sad that there's not enough (none at all?) post-Mahri Nui arc Hewkii/Macku like you can't just not tell us what happens to the cutest couple in Bionicle!!!

[randomwriteronline]

Water for Gali was a sister, a second half, an extension. In the water she was whole, embraced, with nothing to fear.

Water for Nokama was an escape, a bubble of respite. Somewhere nobody could snag her, bother her, search for her.

Water for Hahli was a home and battle ground. She was invincible within it, untouchable, unbreakable, unreachable.

Air for Lewa was a safety net, a support; a pair of outstretched arms always ready to catch him before it was too late.

Air for Matau was a vehicle, another means of transport; something he had to master lest he break his bones upon it.

Air for Kongu was a second skin, a third limb; he knew better than anyone its shifting secrets, its so quiet language.

Fire for Tahu was an old rival. It curled on him, molded itself in his image, quipping amiably as they fought together.

Fire for Vakama was a tepid gaze. It reached out timidly, barely still burning, asking to be allowed in his hands again.

Fire for Jaller was a solemn promise. One he would need to hold tight, strengthened by discipline, to do right by it.

Ice for Kopaka was a taste of wilderness, carelessness, freedom; it was howling alone, dancing wildly in the silence.

Ice for Nuju was a breath of stillness, study, tranquillity; it was gazing in endless white to decode the world on his own.

Ice for Matoro was a scent of expectation, fear, tenderness; he entrusted to it his footprints, hoping they'd last.

Earth for Onua was peace and quiet. The songs it rumbled through him soothed him like kind hands easing his worries.

Earth for Whenua was reflection and wait. The stories it had written on its skin kept him company like many old friends.

Earth for Nuparu was knowledge and innovation. He heard in it his own voice as he mumbled during tireless workdays.

Stone for Pohatu was a rough comfort forced soft; when he wrapped it around himself like a blanket, he felt safe, warm.

Stone for Onewa was a tough tool forced smooth; when he shaped it according to his vision, he felt in control, certain.

Stone for Hewkii was a lean muscle forced strong; a part of himself that he exercised apart, to carve it into its zenith.

Macku and Hewkii running through Ga-Koro's beach 🧡💙

This one is a fanart I made back in 2021. You might also notice the shaky coloring and that's because back then I had just taken off my cast after healing from an elbow fracture and was still recovering from said fracture's surgery 😂

I found no better way to celebrate my recovering than by drawing these sweethearts in a kinda Bohrok Online Animations style 💙🧡

pondering how to draw pre-rebuilt Mata Nui matoran in my current style

I want you to imagine:

Hewkii having so much difficulty describing his relationship with Macku to Gresh and

Gresh's just: "Oh, yeah, Dating."

And out of nowhere Macku grabs him by the shoulders and spins him around and yells "THERES A WORD FOR IT?"

Gresh's invited to their wedding two weeks later

Toa Inika. jaller, Hewkii, Hahli, Kongu, Nuparu, and Matoro

Was about to make a post about how i find weird that Hewkii Mahri has no chest armor and how it bothers me a little, but looking at him closely i realized he is both very bare in general but also has lots of parts.

The blades on his shoulder, the chains, the spiked kneepads all contribute to give him a sharp and complex appearences, but his torso and arms have none of the armor other mahri have. The legs are the only parts that feel "complete".

I am not aware what the real world reasons are, but i feel like this would be a deliberate choice in-universe.

This, along knowing what his personality is like, leads me to a peculiar conclusion: Hewkii exploring the Pit with his Titties out, bare-chested barbarian style.

Metru Nui guidebook was my fave growing up & a big reason was these blurbs abt Matoran businesses here

Also favoritism:

[angryraptor13]

Hewkii is actually a Lawyer

So. On the island of Mata Nui, disputes between Matoran are settled with Kolhii matches, right?

So, what do you do if you're being Wronged, but you're injured or sick, or you just suck at Kolhii?

Obviously, you convince someone who's *good* at Kohlii to represent you in the courtroom Kolhii field!

And Hewkii is *very* good at Kolhii.

He's also very popular in Ga-Koro. Sure, "sports star" is a possibility, but maybe Hewkii defended someone from Ga-Koro in a critical legal match & became popular that way.

Brown Matoran. What's with most of these guys being weirdly consequential to the plot?

[crystaltoa]

Interesting to think of why the Turaga chose their respective right and left-hand Matoran. Like, Jaller was probably an obvious choice for Vakama, having been a good friend if his back in Ta-Metru… but Kapura? Being a bit of a misfit with some unusual capabilities, I think Vakama saw a lot of himself in the eccentric Matoran, and by elevating him to a respected position, Vakama is trying to make sure other Matoran won’t be bullied the way he was for his differences.

Nokama, rather than picking a former top student or respected teaching colleague, instead picked Macku and Kotu- a pair of free spirited pranksters who love weird sea creatures, to be her right and left hands. This may in part be pragmatic- she wants them where she can keep an eye on them, perhaps, but I like to think she wanted to be able to get input on her leadership decisions from the perspective of people very different from herself, especially since she was now going to be living far away from her brothers…

Onewa, I imagine made Hafu, former Master carver of Po-Metru his left hand rather than right in the hopes that it would take Hafu’s famous ego down a notch or two (lol nope), and Hewkii as someone with a complimentary skillset to Hafu’s to balance things out.

You know its true that out of the four stone toa we know Onewa is the exception due to being An Asshat but i think we could focus more on Pouks being the white sheep of a flock of goats. Hes the only one of them who was like, formally employed and working an actual job as a toa. His siblings are just his coworkers. I dont think he knows a sport. He was so glad Pohatu and Hewkii were nothing like Onewa for all of twelve seconds before dreadfully discovering that they are exactly like Onewa, just in previously unimaginable ways, such as the batshit circumstances of their toahood and accidentally kicking a ball into each others face at mach speeds for fun

Small MackuxHewkii sketch I made last year because love is canon and Greg can't tell me otherwise

She's so smol 💙

[user-without-a-cool-acronym]

if you haven‘t seen it yet, i can strongly advise you to watch this new bionicle fan film. It is simply beautiful and depicts one of the most pivotal moments in the entire story. It is also dedicated to Theshadowedone1, one of the biggest biotubers who sadly passed away close to one year ago.

(i did not make this, all credit goes to the creators who uploaded it on youtube)

I think the reason the Toa Inika look mostly samey aside from masks, weapons, and color schemes is that none of them registered that they'd been toafied until after they landed.

They weren't thinking about the ideal toa form at all, so the red star just went "Oh well, default mode it is. -ZAP-"

HOWEVER

When they became the toa mahri after a zap from the mask of life, they absolutely had a mental image of what the ideal toa should be, and THAT'S why they look so different.

Kongu became a juggernaut

Hewkii turned into conan the barbarian

Hahli ended up a valkyrie

Nuparu turned into what I can only describe as an underwater stealth bomber

Matoro- well. He's a beanpole. can't help that.

And Jaller is just... a guy. Tahu must have really lowered his estimates, huh.
