Fixing (maybe) the Red Star
As a concept, this broken afterlife slaps — but it also derailed my brain and a good chunk of lore. I think it was a problem for Greg Farshty, too, since he immediately had to go back and specify why the Machine That Resurrects Everything couldn't exactly resurrect everything. (RIP Toa Mangai)
There's a lot going on with the Red Star. I think the easiest fix is to narrow the its field. Why back up millions of brains when most matoran, etc. were meant to be drones? Instead, make the Red Star a failsafe for key systems figures. Leaders. Guardians. People like Artakha, a few Order of Mata Nui members, the Toa Mata, the Great Spirit himself. Oh, and Karzahni. The Barraki. The makuta.
A few narrative implications and plot bunnies:
• Imagine accomplishing the impossible and killing a makuta, only for him to appear in a new body a few months later and tell you no matter how many times you end him, he'll always come back. He can never not come back.
• Immortality messes beings up. Die, return, die, return. After a few times, every other being feels less real than you are. Expendable.
• @herora-nuva (hi! love your work!) theorized on his YouTube channel that The Pit exists to keep the worst of the worst from being reincarnated, and that idea still tracks here. Bonus points if knowledge of the Red Star fed the Barraki's god complexes.
• Makuta Teridax can't kill specific people in his way, and that's enough motivation for him to break the afterlife. Or, if this Red Star decays on its own as the original did, the game changes drastically one day. The beings keeping him in check aren't dead, but they also aren't here, and things in the GSR are about to get messy.
• Maybe another being breaks the Red Star to keep the immortals dead. It doesn't go quite as intended.
• To modern matoran eyes, resurrected beings are...strange. The populace of the GSR has upgraded and evolved over the millennia, but the Red Star only has the original designs. Resurrected bodies can be modernized, but there's still something off about them.
• The Red Star's purpose fades from memory, but clues drift throughout the myths.

Everyone did need a nap tho
Toa Hordika pack sleeping together.
I had this idea when I remembered Matau saying something along the lines of "I better be with my pack-team!" And thought they would look lovely all snuggled together like actual rahi lmao
That was far from happening tho, they were very dysfunctional during that time 😵💫
#vakama on the bottom like 'you're a member of this family whether you like it or not'#'now stay put and cuddle dangit'#toa hordika#bionicle fanart#bionicle

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

Game night with the Toa Metru: what not to play.
Vakama: Poker. Counts cards. Plays dumb about it without actually denying that’s exactly what’s up. He can do this with many card games, but Go Fish never got him tackled by Onewa, so. No poker.
Matau: Charades. He doesn’t even need the Mask of Illusion, his creativity is 100 and his dignity is 0. His team will win. Also sweeps the entertainment category of trivia games.
Whenua: Charades, but for exactly the opposite reason as Matau. He is hopeless and your team will lose. Overthinks every prompt and his clues are obtuse at best.
(“The card says ‘gukko,’ why did you start stomping??” “Because gukko derives from the Old Matoric ‘ugukk,’ meaning ‘stomp,’ describing their nesting habit of stamping in a perfect circle-")
Also opposite of Matau, he wipes the floor with every trivia category except entertainment.
Nuju: Chess. Duh. And he refuses to go easy on anyone. The only person who plays him is Vakama, but even he only wins 16% of the time.
Nokama: Any word game, at all, ever. Did you think she was too nice to be competitive? Think again. Words are her thing, and being willing to die for her team doesn’t mean she'll let any of them beat her at her thing. She kicks ass at Pictionary, too.
Onewa: Jenga. He has an artist’s fine motor skills and an architect’s intuition for structure. Jenga is also banned after The Incident — Onewa has not beat the “moved the floor during Matau’s turn” allegations.

I have precicely zero evidence to back this opinion up but
The Toa Metru were probably the greatest team of toa in the entire Matoran Universe.
This is not because they're the most powerful, (that's the toa nuva)
Or the oldest (Lesovikk's team), iirc the Metru were only toa for 3 years, tops.
It's because every. single. one. fights dirty, is completely unpredictable, or is just completely unhinged.
They're toa speedrunners.
They punched through the GSRs face
They took the entire population of metru nui, the largest city in the matoran universe, and flew them somewhere else.
They got the visorak horde to just get up and go home, while outwitting the most notorious backstabber in the known universe
They sucker punched the master of the xanatos gambit Makuta Teridax.
Vakama held the concept of time hostage.
They found Ko Metru's bigfoot and got him to casually un hordika them and fight the visorak
They may be dysfunctional as hell, but I dont think anyone could have gotten away with half of what they managed.
I dont think any other toa team would even believe everything the toa metru did.
Admittedly most of the crazy is Vakama's doing, but still. Wild.
And to cap all of that off, Almost no one knows that they even freakin existed.

always headcanon that one of the Toa Mahri is incredibly squeamish and can't stand the sight of any injury but i can never decide which one. eh maybe all of them. and trying to deal with an injury is the most chaotic nightmare any of them have ever had. who knows
most of the time they come across as very put-together for their newness but when this happens more experienced Toa are like "someone help these children"

I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.
It's right-handed
I am right-handed
There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly
I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.
There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.
I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.
A homo erectus made it
Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.
Who were you
A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?
Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?
Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?
Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?
Who were you?
What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?
What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.
Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?
Or has it always been divine?
Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?
Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.
The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.
Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?
I'm not religious.
But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine
I don't know what is.

Kualus probably stopped wearing his scarf as a Rahaga after he tried to use his back mounted Rhotuka for the first time and nearly throttled himself.
Iruini never let him hear the end of it.

A Whenua headcanon I got after reading Voyage of Fear:
In his flashback sequence about Mavrah, Whenua seems to be a biologist or zoologist. He’s one of only three people studying dinosaurs/sea monsters in an extremely secret project, so he clearly knows his stuff.
But when we meet Whenua later he’s an “archivist” — a broad title, but he seems like more of a librarian. He mentions cataloguing. Toa Lhikan finds him doing what looks like data entry on an exhibit of nondescript mechanical bits.
After Whenua almost died on the job, after the project was scrapped and Mavrah vanished (presumed dead), when all he and Onepu could do was mourn privately and keep their mouths shut…I bet Whenua transferred himself to a different field.

One of the heroes in the prequel arc got temporarily fused with a cave wall and was conscious during the whole thing. Unfusing him was a touchy process and dude was not okay for a minute.
The citizens of God’s Brain live in fear of authoritarian robocobs with mind-control powers and no chill. Said robocops had really 1984-esque flash animations, but the full ramifications of their existence was never fully explored in the movies or books.
Both the CIA and the mafia perform horrific experiments on their members. You might get permanent and inconvenient invisibility. You might turn into a giant praying mantis. How either of these organizations retains membership is a mystery.
Reblog with your favourite piece of Cursed Bionicle Lore.

thinking about Onua with perfect auditory retention and Kopaka with perfect photographic memory. don't say anything or do anything you don't want them to be able to recall in complete detail for the rest of eternity. Artakha thought they might need to solve a murder together one day (they will), and also that Lewa might need the help remembering... anything. hey he has good muscle memory okay

Not to mention the hilarity of how the Great Disk even got there. I’m picturing two options:
A) Whoever hid the disk (Great Beings? Order of Mata Nui?) decided a disorganized closet was the most inscrutable hiding place and they weren’t even wrong, it stayed there for millennia.
B) Some archivist stumbled upon the disk Indiana Jones-style in a much more dramatic location, shrugged their shoulders, and chucked it in said closet. (Bonus points if they realized what it was later and tried to go back for it, but couldn’t remember which closet.)
