Another thing about the GSR's geography that contrasts between story-derived purposes and in-universe lore:
The Southern Islands are twin chains of islands, one for each leg of the GSR. Story-derived, they mostly exist for setting: As remote, mostly uncharted and supposedly empty lands. Miserix is imprisoned on one of them. No mention of any villages or cities there.
Lore wise, why would the Great Being create these islands? What purpose do they serve for the GSR's functioning?

If you were to cut off the Great Spirit Robot's head (bear with me a second here) and line it up with its torso, it would take up a considerable portion of the space in there. So, with that in mind, and considering that the island of Mata Nui covered the GSR's entire face, does that mean the island of Mata Nui was as large as, if not bigger than, the two "continent" landmasses in the robot's chest?
That doesn't seem right, but like look at it.
It would be pretty close.

WORLD THAT FEEDS THE WORLD
Full Size Version (Recommended)
The ground trembled faintly beneath. The air was still oppressively hot, though the magma of the chamber had begun to cool. Alhalu groaned off to the side where he crouched, holding the Thing at arm’s length.
“Shut up,” Seah hissed. “Pathetic excuse for a Toa. If it hasn’t done anything to you yet, you’re fine. Be happy it didn’t evaporate you like it did Ekket. Bad intel, I say...”
Toa Jovan ignored them both. He focused his mind through the mental aperture of the Kanohi Suletu, sending out another telepathic burst into the empty shell of the Toa of Stone that sat cross-legged on the volcanic stone before him:
“Report. Satha, have you found it yet?”
The reply was somewhat faint, preceded by a burst of static. The connection of Satha’s Iden was being stretched, it seemed.
“Jovan...I am far...traveled... <Static>...Layers of magma...earth below... <Static>...Strata of the Great Beings...<Static>...Dark...almost there I think.”
“How far?”
“<Static>...Kio downward...sending data... <Static>...Seah can interpret.”
A set of calculations and numbers washed through Jovan’s mind. He printed the figures magnetically onto the metal datapad in his hand.
“Check the tether,” Jovan sent. “This mask is risky.”
“Affirmative... <Static>...Tether is thin...still secure. I’m passing through... <Static>...Wait, there’s a barrier here.”
“What kind of barrier?”
“Physical only... <Static>...Should be fine...I think this is it, Jovan--pushing ahead.”
“Proceed with caution.”
Jovan raised his head and glanced around the dull red chamber. Seah was watching him from several bio away, tapping her foot impatiently. Jovan signaled all well, resting back on his heels.
There was a sudden telepathic shriek that made Jovan wince. He blocked the mental aperture for a moment to let it pass, then opened it again:
“What is it, Satha?”
The reply was even fainter now. Worrisome.
“Brother... <Static>...Can see...vast hollow beneath us...the air glows...”
“You’ve made it through? Good. That data is all we need, now--”
“--such power,” Satha continued, as if he hadn’t heard Jovan. “<Static>...power for the whole world...”
“Satha, confirm my message. The data is sufficient.”
“Light is fading here, Jovan... <Static>...It’s dying, and the world... <Static>...Fading out...No time to waste.”
“Turn around.”
Silence.
“Turn around, Satha.”
“<Static>...barrier...can’t... <Static>”
“Say again.”
“Jovan, the tether... <Static>...Too thin...too far...”
“Satha? Pull back; that’s an order. It’s time to turn around. We’ve already lost one Toa today.”
“Too far... <Static>...this barrier... <Static>...Strange interference, can’t... <Static>...losing resolution.”
“Hold on.”
Jovan dove into the mind-space of his comrade, and his vision of the world went fractal, crystalline. He groped with psychic fingers, seeking his goal. He had to find it. There! The psionic tether was stretched taut, but still holding. They had been warned that this method of astral projection was dangerous, but it was the only way they could probe so far so quickly, and there was so little time...Still, he wished now that they had chosen another way.
Jovan readied himself, as he had been trained, and then took action, pouring his psychic energies into the link, to fortify it and give Satha the strength to overcome whatever strange obstacle he had encountered deep below. Fragments of words came through the link as he worked:
“Tearing at me...it’s strong...storm of energy...almost...no...”
“Keep going!”
“Trying to...tether is decaying, Jovan...”
“You can do it.”
“I...yes, I’m almost... <Static>...The barrier...no!”
A psychic shock echoed along the link, stunning Jovan. He let go, and for a moment an insane roaring filled his brain--a roar of energy, of measureless power. A storm of cosmic fire that rent and fused the fabric of the world, of the body, of the mind.
Jovan snapped back to his physical senses.
“Satha!”
Silence crackled in the mind-shell of Toa Satha.
“Satha, pull back...please...”
Nothing, and then, very faintly:
“Jovan...Jovan do you read? <Static>...I’m unmoored, Jovan... <Static>...No control...”
“I...I hear you,” he replied, helpless. “Can you still hear me?”
“Can hear, but fading...I’m moving rapidly, Jovan... <Static>...Interference here.”
“You’ve got to try on your own then. Try to get back.”
“I’m trying, but there’s too much... <Static>...Gone too far.”
“Don’t tell me that.”
“Jovan it’s no use... <Static>...I’m weary...”
“Unacceptable.”
“I know, but I think... <Static>...I’m adrift, Jovan...moving faster every second... <Static>...I’m falling.”
“I said that’s unacceptable, Satha!”
“Will report what I see... <Static>...More intel for you...to finish this...<Static>...All I can do.”
Jovan did not reply. He cursed quietly. The mind-voice continued:
“Something’s pulling me in...vortex of energy...hard to see beyond. I’m moving through...It’s spinning...bright--”
Static.
“I’m through. Would’ve made me sick if I wasn’t just a spirit...”
Static. A long pause.
“There, I can see now...By Mata, I can see it all...”
Static.
“It’s a sphere...a great sphere. Beneath the foundations of stone...to think I would look upon it...”
Static.
“Like the oracle said: the core of universes...the World That Feeds the World. Ah, I understand--”
“Stop, Satha. I’ve heard enough.”
Static.
“I can’t stop, Jovan. I’m sorry...Not in control. This is destiny, my friend--Destiny takes everything from us, in the end. Remember that.”
“Yes. It takes all.”
“...I’m heading further...deeper...”
More static. Another long pause.
“It’s dark now...Moving faster...Caverns and empty spaces...I see--”
“--huge beyond imagining--”
“...there are machines...vast, empty...They move...”
“...I’m falling...can you hear me?”
“I’m here, but Satha, please--”
“--I’m sorry, brother...I’m falling... <Static>...Can’t hear you... <Static>...Oh! By Mata...”
An interminable moment passed. Jovan waited, waited.
Waited...
And then, weakly:
“Endless...endless dark and cold...there are...”
Static.
“There are stars!--”
The voice cut off. The aperture snapped shut. Jovan trembled and released his clenched jaw slowly, expelling a shuddering sigh. The body of Toa Satha sat before him, peaceful.
Toa Seah was at his shoulder.
“So, what’s new?”
A moment passed.
“How’s Alhalu?” Jovan asked.
“Terrified,” Seah replied. “How’s our old Toa of Stone? He’s been out for a bit.”
“He found what we were looking for. Had to go a bit farther than expected, but it’s there. I’ve got the data.”
Jovan handed over the datapad.
“We’ll go immediately.”
“Shouldn’t we wait for him to...get back to his body?”
“He’ll be fine. He said it was urgent for us to go. The others on the surface will be down soon to watch over him.”
“He’ll be fine, huh?”
“Yes.”
Seah smiled, “Liar.”
She straightened up and walked away. Jovan rose slowly to his feet.
“Alhalu,” he called across the Chamber of Life without looking. “It’s time. Your task is next. I expect you to acquit yourself like a Toa of the Great Spirit, as have others today.”
The eyes of Toa Satha were blank, staring at Jovan from that accursed Iden.
“Seah,” Jovan continued. “Ready the Olmak. Start your calculations.”
“Already started, boss. Do you know where we’re going, exactly? Hopefully a cooler climate.”
“Farther than we’ve ever been,” Jovan replied, “or ever will go.”
In his mind the words echoed:
A great sphere...the core of universes...the World That Feeds the World...Ah, I understand--
What did you understand, my friend? Perhaps you can tell me one day, if we meet again.
In the endless dark and cold.
Where there are stars.

A Bohrok‘s duty
For some time now I was quite bothered by the fact that the only apparent task the Bohrok has was shaving the robot. It seemed like a weak reason for av-matoran to lose all their autonomy and consciousness in masses. Sure it’s creepy and makes 02 with the dead matoran mecs very weird. But other than that, i feel like the Bohrok aren’t doing enough even tho their ONE task is quite important.
So I’m not sure if that’s canon or not but what if the hive is also responsible for creating the camouflage? Would explain why it was there so quickly
But also what if the Bohrok are there to maintain the outer hull of the robot. Cleaning it up. So in conclusion. The hive is there to camouflage the robot and scrub its outer shell. Can’t have the thing rust or have other problems with its frame
I could also imagine Va and a small swarm of Bohrok are send out to gather resources on foreign planets, because I can’t imagine the great spirit robot being able to pick up smaller things with his big mecha claws

This is probably my best one yet.
Hold onto your butts.
Parallels
Or
Seeing Patterns in Things that Aren’t There
Part 16
Dead Gods and Empty Shells.
1. The Owl House (2019-2023) (fuck you Disney!)
“I think King said it best once. “I am both king and queen. Best of both things. Haha. But “Dad” works just fine.” - Papa Titan. - Watching and Dreaming.
2. Bionicle (generation 1) (2001-2010)
“But you are looking at an empty shell, the remains of what might have been a great ruler, the guardian of his people.” - Mata Nui. - The Legend Reborn.
This is probably the most obvious one yet. But I had to make it since I saw the TOH finale in April.
As soon as I saw it I was shocked beyond belief, but in a good way. I cried and the similarities brought back all kinds of old memories.
I wasn’t expecting it.
I’m only getting to it now because I was busy.
The Titan’s corpse would form the Boiling Isles and it’s people would form their settlements in and around his remains.
While the prototype robot built by the Great Beings would eventually lay the foundations for the villages and homes of the Agori tribes after the first experiment went to shit and the robot blew up.
And in turn the successor to the prototype, the Great Spirit robot (housing Mata Nui’s consciousness) would house the Matoran Universe and its inhabitants.
The similarities are most likely a coincidence.
I think…
Make of that what you will.
Feel free to reblog if you want.

Being Ackar must be Wack at One Point
Imagine being Ackar, fighting battles on a regular basis for hundred of thousands of years (even moreso after Malum left to become a sand hippie), wasting away as he collects trophies as to not turn insane from the looming hopelessness of Bara Magna and being the only reliable fire Glatorian that Vulcanus has to offer. He'd prolly accepted his fate of being struck down by Strakk and finally relieved from his duties as it would mean the Agori would further lost faith in him, when a stranger with golden-yellow paint, with a beetle (basically unusual color scheme and idt it exists in any other tribes) intervenes and performs what can only be described as magic. The stranger then refuses their victory and sticks with him until he gets home.
Further down the line the stranger transforms your rusty sword to imbue it with powers that only the Elements Lords has wielded as of yet. The stranger then also proposes to link up all the villages and then do reckless quests, speaking of legends such as The Great Beings and Great Spirit Robots. Also spoke of how something akin to an evil god will make its way to the land. Then they brought a cube and transforms into a giant freaking robot.
Another freaking bigger giant robot arrives. With minions pouring out of its toes. What.
Another stranger with your color scheme wearing golden armor, possibly with nonsensical alien biology arrives and then blasts the yellow minions away into their empty shells. Your first stranger, now a friend, smashes one of the freaking moon (or a very big flying rock, depending on your preferred canon) into the second giant robot. Then they start to bring life into your barren world, plants that you don't even know of, water that both the Agori and Glatorian fights for bursts in unthinkable quantity, creatures chirping and making noises its deafening compared to the deathly silence that everyone is used to.
Also your yellow friend is now a talking mask and decided to be comatose.

Thought Process of the Great Beings Regarding the Design of the Great Spirit Robot
This post is going to be a long one, so buckle up. Hopefully my ramblings below make sense to you all.
I’ve been thinking lately of the design of the GSR and how at first glance it doesn’t seem to make any sense. The Great Beings had two problems that they built the GSR to deal with:
Fixing the Shattering of their home planet into 3 pieces
Figuring out how to avoid the cataclysmic war that led to the shattering of the planet in the first place.
So, they build the GSR, a giant mechanical system that had the power to fix the planet (once the pieces stabilized and with the help of another mechanical) and could go out into space to observe other cultures to see how they deal with war. However, beyond that, the questions about why they made the GSR the way they did keep building up:
Why make it a giant humanoid robot? Wouldn’t other shapes be more efficient for the completion of the task?
If the nano-machines inside the robot that kept it running (the Matoran) were never meant to be sentient, why give them a universe inside the robot with diverse islands, seas, skies and wildlife for them to inhabit? Wouldn’t it have been simpler to just build the sections required to keep the robot running and then place service corridors etc. for the Matoran to travel between areas?
Why are there species inside the robot other than the Matoran when it appears that it’s only the Matoran that are essential to the functioning of the robot?
Why are the Toa needed at all? They are there to protect the Matoran and ensure they can keep working, but the Matoran Universe is a closed system, so why create a universe that would have dangers that the Matoran would need protecting from in the first place?
Why, when observing alien cultures, does the robot land in their world’s oceans and disguise itself with an island over its face? Surely observing them from space would be more efficient. Also, if you are wanting to observe their culture as it is, why introduce to their planet a very noticeable new landmass basically overnight? Wouldn’t that cause a massive disruption to the very culture you were trying to observe?
However, I think there is actually a very sound logic to all of this, and its all linked in with the secondary mission of the GSR – observing and documenting other alien cultures.
I think that nearly every non-Matoran / Non-Rahi species within the Matoran Universe (with notable exceptions such as the Makuta) are a biomechanical representation of one of the alien species that the GSR encountered along its 100,000-year journey through space, created within the Matoran Universe to act as a physical storage medium for the data gathered, as well as acting as a way of simulating that species and its culture for further study and experimentation once the GSR leaves their planet. This would explain why there are so many different species within the Matoran Universe, each one is a different alien observed by the GSR (I know canonically that the different species were all pre-programmed into the GSR by the Great Beings to be created later, but this could have easily just been the Great Beings loading the already known information about these species into the GSR for it to build upon later with actual observations). This would mean that the Vortixx, Skakdi etc., all exist in some form out there in the wider galactic universe, with biomechanical copies now also existing within the GSR.
If this were the case, it explains why the Matoran Universe needed to be an actual universe – it was not for the benefit of the Matoran at all, but instead so that the GSR could create a better simulation of the natural habitat of the copied species for their biomechanical representations to inhabit and thereby enabling further study to be as accurate to the real thing as possible. Mata-Nui can manipulate the universe inside the GSR to have any landscape or conditions that he wished, which means that each island can be shaped perfectly to match the conditions of the planet that species was copied from, allowing for a better simulation of the species going forwards. This can also explain why there was such a preference for islands within the Matoran Universe – each island in its own dome, linked by the silver sea, was analogous to planets in space. Each species (other than the Matoran and the other exceptions) was largely restricted to one island, but the potential for travel and mixing between the species was possible via sailing the silver sea, representing the possibility of these cultures developing space travel and going to each other’s planets. That way, Mata-Nui could simulate what would happen if these alien cultures were ever to meet and interact, something that would provide further valuable insight: would they go to war with one another? How would those wars be resolved?
This, by extension, explains the need of both the Rahi and the Toa. Rahi were created to better the simulations, filling these recreated worlds with wildlife and therefore making them more realistic and making the simulations more accurate. Toa were needed to make sure that the Rahi and the newly simulated species did not interfere with the work of the Matoran in keeping the whole GSR and Matoran Universe running. Though, the other species were still allowed non-disruptive interactions with the Matoran as this allowed for some simulation on how these other species might interact with the Agori society that the Matoran were based off of.
This mission to observe other cultures I think also explains why the GSR landed on planets and created an island above itself. The island didn’t just act as a way to disguise the face of the robot, but it also allowed for an extremely valuable research tool that wouldn’t have been available from other observation methods: a controlled environment. The sudden appearance of a large new island practically overnight would entice the populace of the planet being observed to travel to it to investigate it. They would likely also settle it as new land to expand into due to it being a new source of resources they could use. We already know from the canon that the island created by the GSR’s camouflage system can be fully manipulated as we saw Makuta Teridax do just that during the ’01-’03 storyline to create storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc. to challenge the Toa Mata with. So, Mata-Nui could use the exact same system to create situations for the newly settled alien cultures on the island to deal with and observe how they handle them, with all this feeding into the data gathered and being used to create their simulations within the Matoran Universe buried beneath them.
Because the island can be manipulated as Mata-Nui see’s fit, it can also be used to generate a situation that would allow him to re-create the starting conditions of the Core War, minus the Energized Protodermis. For example, if Mata-Nui observed that this planet/culture was lacking in a particular substance, he could manipulate his systems so that the island had an abundance of it. Once this was discovered, he could observe how the natives reacted – would they go to war? If so, how was the war resolved? If not, how was it avoided? By using the island as a controlled space from which he could manipulate certain aspects, Mata-Nui could experiment on the native population to gain insights into the answers he required, rather than just passively observing them and hoping the situation would come up (this is rather morally questionable of course, purposely starting wars and all, but hey, the Great Beings aren’t exactly known for their ethics).
All in all, while it may seem strange at first glance, a logic as to why the Great Beings made the GSR the way they did can be seen if you dig deeper. Did the story team intend for all of this to be the underlying in story reason for why things were they way they are? Almost certainly not. But its still fun to think about nonetheless.
And as for why the Great Beings built the GSR as a giant humanoid robot? Well, I think that the answer to that one is far simpler.
It’s rad as hell.
That’s why.

On the other end of the horror-
Imagine the GSR inhabitants exciting the GSR, whether it's still standing under Makuta's control or toppled over.
And they finally realize what their universe was.
And they see part of sheer scale between them - people - and the GSR - continent-sized. They can't spot the top of it. They can barely take in a whole limb.
Imagine standing in the shadow of this gargantuan entity. You're less than an ant in terms of size compared to it. It's incomprehendible.
