”there has been a dire shortage of trained air traffic controllers for years”

“the FAA director resigned on inauguration day because Elon Musk demanded he quit”

“trump’s hiring freeze means no new air traffic controllers are being hired”

“Musk’s ‘resign or get fired’ email went to every ATC too”

First deadly commercial air crash in the US since 2009 occurs

“It’s because of DEI!”

holy shit fuck off

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

Genuine question for trans girls; (keep in mind I am AMAB, identify as nonbinary but comfortable being perceived masc((facial hair and the like))) what were some activities that helped "Crack the Egg"?

Orga, my Av-Matoran (hidden as a Le-Matoran) self-moc

(Idk why my bionicle art looks like Spartans from halo lmao)

wow girl your aura is so powerful and intimidating

There's something so appealing about the dichotomy between light and sound and Av-Matoran vs. De-Matoran colour schemes. Where Av-Matoran can literally be any colour of the rainbow and beyond, while De-Matoran are monochrome. Especially when also considering that Shadow Matoran are just as colourful as Av-Matoran.

Something something in Bionicle Elemental Shadow is more of a perversion of Elemental Light than an inversion, and Elemental Sonics is its true equal and opposite counterpart.

Sometimes family is an angsty blacksmith, a hot teacher, a surprisingly well-adjusted SCP Foundation employee, a wacky test-pilot, a carver, and an astrology twink.

Sometimes family is a (literally) hot-headed knight, a cliff-climbing scuba diver, a chill dude with giant claws, a flying lumberjack who can talk to bears, a cowboy with cool shoes, and a quiet edgelord.

Sometimes family is a former guard-captain, a barbarian, an inventor, a pilot with two giant guns, a retired footballer, and Bionicle Jesus.

Sometimes family is 6 knights who are sometimes lizards.

Sometimes family is a hoverboarding superhero, a blank slate with death-flags wedged into every gap in her armour, a totally trustworthy ghost-lady, an edgy DnD rogue with a magic scythe, and a bunch of expendable extras (including four guys with the same primary powerset). This won't end well...
