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!!!

[beesgav]

all of my "oh yeah I like bionicle" posts wind up being Takua and/or Jaller so. switching it up this time

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 💙🧡

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

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

Ok so if a Matoran's idea of a Toa informs what they'd look like as a Toa, does that mean a hypothetical post-2007 Toa Macku could look like Hewkii?

[takuas-eyebrows]

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

Also favoritism:

[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.

Matoran Macku

Having made a scuffed lightbox for a different project, I figured it was time to share my matoran gang, starting with my favorite.

My parts choice for this model was to get as much color variety as possible in order to build the characters I wanted, AND, I absolutely wanted to use the mctoran foot for Mata-Nui authenticity.

From there I wanted to get as much poseability as I could, because I love posing figures.

I like juuust a hint of sexual dimorphism in my Bonks, so Macku and other Ga-Matoran I've built have a slightly longer axle and a set of spacers in their hips. The classic Gali chest piece was also used here but that steadily became a non exclusive trait as I built matoran in stranger colors and needed the socket pieces to fill out their schemes.

I consider this body configuration to be the post-bohrok rebuild, with a little Mask of Light mixed in.

I'll post some more later because I built a ton of these gremlins.

[kolhii-head-chronicler]

My dumb complaint about Mask of Light is that we didn’t get any cute Hewkii/Macku moments. I appreciate the adorableness we got with Jaller/Hahli, but the absolute disrespect to the og bionicle couple :c

I feel like it would have been so easy to include something too?

That part when Guurahk is tearing apart Ta-Koro and we see the two ta-matoran huddled together inside the hut? Could have been Hewkii and Macku. Or that part when they’re all fleeing Ta-Koro across the bridge and Macku is holding hands with that random ta-matoran? Could have been Hewkii holding her hand. Even just like, having them in the background comforting each other after Ta-Koro was destroyed.

I realize this is a dumb thing to complain about but it’s been 20 years and I’m still salty about it hELP.

The Chronicler's Company on Metru-Nui befor the Mata-Nui. Takua, Macku, Kapura, Kopeke, Tamaru, Hafu, and Taipu

[malwarewolf-mocs]

Watch in horror as I deliberately destroy the value and integrity of a 22 year old happy meal toy just so I can store it better.

[beesgav]

been wanting to take a stab at a Toa Macku design for a while and I'm pretty happy with how she turned out

[zesk]

I watched the playthrough of mnog 2 for the first time, and Hewkii and Macku are just as sweet as ever. i drew them resting with their little plushes :]

[sandiaheadonline]

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

She's so smol 💙

[byz-was-here]

The Chronicler's company being transformed into toa, but no one's element is what they expected.

Six Matoran touch the Toa stones at kini nui as they guard the Toa Mata's escape route from Mangaia and get WAY more than they bargained for.

Toa Kapura blinks and suddenly every Magnet on Mata Nui goes haywire.

Toa Macku yelling because suddenly everyone's thoughts are in her head all at once

Toa Tamaru secretly being relieved that she doesn't Immediately start flying, and then all the plants around her grow up to ten feet high and burst into bloom.

Toa Hafu laughs- but the joke stops being funny when his Carving tools get metalbent when he tries to activate his powers over stone.

Toa Taipu looks thoughtful as he picks up a rock, and then calmy watches it drift weightlessy into the sky like an untethered balloon.

Toa Kopeke is silent for a long time. Then, without a word, they zap a stray Infected Rahi with a lightning bolt.

Once Takua picks his jaw up off the ground, he probably says something like, "At least I'm still a normal Ta-Matoran, thank Mata Nui."

...No one lets him live that comment down after the whole Mask of Light incident.
