Hey, amidst the chaos of... everything on the internet, pay attention to Hawaii/Hawai'i!
There have been plans from a non Hawaiian organisation to build a 5 acre parking lot, 13 lot subdivision and a comfort station for tourists on the ridge of the sacred Pololū Valley!
This project doesn't acknowledge Pololū Valley as a wahi pāna (a celebrated and storied place in the cultural traditions of Hawaii/Hawai'i) and instead treats it as just plain land that can be sold to a highest bidder.
Pololū Valley is anything but that.
So please sign the petition to stop this project! As of writing this, 883,470 people have, but we need more!
Petition to protect Pololū Valley
Reblog to reach more people, please! Don't just like and move on, sign the petition and make sure more people see this!
After thoroughly getting their asses kicked by their fellow toa during their first training sessions, the Toa Kaidra have realized that being a Toa isn't all it's cut out to be. Still, though, they'll push through it.
“Somehow, we'll become Toa.”
Sorry the wait time, life got the better of me, but now I'm able to post this! Hopefully I'll get back on a regular posting cycle soon :)
This is the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, a telescope that assists in allowing us to see X-Ray sources in the universe, allowing us to document things like the first observed Gravitational Wave Source, and other groundbreaking phenomena.
It is part of the four Great Observatories, all of whom have been replaced/will be replaced in the near future… except Chandra. Its funding has been cut by 40%. I know there are more important things going on in the world right now, but Chandra assists us in understanding the universe in many ways, and is an invaluable asset.
Some older designs for the Toa Kaidra, here's the Version 1's.
And the V2, I couldn't find Tila's for some reason :(
And finally, the V3's.
It's amazing how much you can progress in just two years. Thank you to the wonderful people in the many Bionicle Discord servers, and here on Tumblr, for putting me on this path, and giving me the confidence and skills capable to make these. @vitaevictuals, @ghost-mantis, @toa-kohutti, and many more. You're all truly terrific friends and guides, I couldn't be more grateful.
Life, burnout, and other things are a bitch, LOL! I promise, I haven't abandoned this place, I've got plenty of things in the works. One thing in particular is pretty damn big.
On this, the anniversary of the lunar landing, let us also celebrate the greatest post-mission achievement by a crewman.
I refer, of course, to the time Buzz Aldrin (age 72 at the time) cold-cocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist straight in his smug face after being accused of being a coward, liar, and thief.
Yes, someone was indeed dumb enough to tell a man so unafraid of death that he was willing to go into the void on a fragile explosive rocket, a coward.
Said dumbass was filming this confrontation as some sort of proof of moon fraud, but has instead captured this glorious moment of near-cosmic justice for us to loop for all time.
Aldrin was not charged with any crime. He should have been given another medal for public service.
Even after the reformation of Spherus Magna, a Toa's job is never done. The Toa Nuva, along with the Toa Hagah and Toa Mahri, are among the last of the Toa, and have sworn their lives to protect the people of Spherus Magna.
(Ignore the different arms on the hagah, that render was made pre-arm lengthening)
An ancient Makuta, she was one of the few tasked with creating Flora as opposed to Rahi. She had to do it while lacking eyesight, as she possessed a withering stare that killed most anything she laid eyes on.
When Teridax took over, she joined his cause, but was not blessed with the trust the other members of the brotherhood had for each other. When the rest of her species began transforming into beings of antidermis, she for unknown reasons did not. This final rift between her and the rest of her kin caused her to be banished from the brotherhood. She now lives in solitude, in distant woods, bringing new flowers and trees into being that she will never truly see.
