So I found out about an old non-canon Bionicle comic made for the Lego Adventure magazine and it is... something else.

Instead of artwork it's almost like renders in dioramas with a filter placed over them.

The dialog ranges from standard to comically bizarre in the context of Bionicle, just take a peek at this page:

I could preface this by saying I hate drama, or I usually keep my mouth shut but like. Nah. I just want to say that y’all need to stop plucking people’s posts out of their very limited and isolated contexts to make rallying cries. Some people are dead serious about their takes of questionable nature, and other people are likely posting it with the intent to joke around. Just because you’re annoyed by it doesn’t entitle you to air people out who are otherwise minding their business and doing their own thing.

i am making a MISTAKE

The latest ending of Ahsoka really made me realize one of the big problems with Felony's writing and why so much of the Masndo-verse and Felony's modern writing falls flat compared to OWK and Andor. Shock value. A BIG twist cliffhanger that leaves us all mouth open and HYPING up the next episode in hope and filling the forums with discussions in anticipation. Understandably, he can't write what we wrote in our heads for 7 days and top that. 1.

2. But once that shock is gone when the story has moved onto the next big thing, or you watch it again when you know what it pays off in, or watch the whole series or season again, it just doesn't hold up. It's empty. Vapid. Because it's all about the shock. The twist. The discussion. The hype fodder. It's not saying anything or adding anything. OWK and Andor was a lot better at that, without the use of the nostalgia baiting that Felony relies on. 3. It becomes an endless circle of low lows and high highs, while OWK and Andor both slowly built up to the crescendo of discussions and speculations and both have stayed in the fandom consciousness alot longer thanks to that. And because they have something to say, both to the world and to the viewer. While with the Felony and the Fraudrou verses, it's just a constant barrage of oh wow, moving on, what's next? ehh, it's over, let's move on.

I feel like one day I'm going to do a longer analysis on why exactly Filoni's writing feels weak to me (where I try to be more fair than I'm usually feeling about his writing), because I don't think he's without a lot of talent and there's certain things he really does get about Star Wars, but I think so much comes back to that he's a writer who is caught in a difficult position--playing in someone else's sandbox but has to now establish his own new corners of that sandbox and I'm not sure he's strong enough to be a big picture kind of guy when he works better in smaller focus. His work on TCW and Rebels is content that we do come back to again and again for analysis, during my rewatches of both those series, those shows hold up! But I think they're ones where he had stronger guardrails up, and he was forced to stick to things in one place. I think live action has been bad for Filoni's writing because of the way so much is structured, that there are multiple series going on and I feel like his writing doesn't have the patience to actually tell a story in a single space, that's why we get Grogu's story being split between The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, that's why we get Mandalore's story being splintered across Rebels, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and now Ahsoka. We still haven't even seen half of the events that happen in the Mandalore bigger story! And you're right that he and Favreau both lean too hard on the cameos and echoes/rhymes for nostalgia's sake. And those reference points are often extremely fun in the moment! And I'll grant that the Luke episodes are ones I go back to fairly often, because I think there's some really good content in there about what attachment actually means. But I don't think it's that surprising, looking back, how quickly the Favroni shows fell apart for us and how it doesn't feel like they're establishing anything that can support a bunch of books and comics. I suspect that Disney's not allowed to have books/comics/etc. based on Favroni's shows because they want creative control over those characters while they're still actively writing for them, but also I look at the OT and the PT and look how much was built off those movies+TCW as a foundation, I look at how much you're able to still watch those and find new things to analyze, and I just don't feel that with Filoni's writing anymore, not since Rebels, not to that level, anyway. (I'll grant that I've been a lot more excited about the Ahsoka series and what we can say about it/find in analyzing it than I expected, I expected nothing but shitposts like we did with Mandalorian s3, but I've had fun with serious meta in Ahsoka! I was genuinely excited to come on-line after episode 4 and talk about themes and structure and how well Filoni did with that there!) Ultimately, I think Filoni (and Favreau) both have a lot of talent, but I think they're being pushed too hard to make too much too quickly and that it shows that they're making this up as they go along, rather than that they had a vision they've been crafting for years and any kind of idea of where they want the end goal to be. Like, yeah, Lucas wrote some stuff on the fly, he changed his mind about things along the way, but he had an end point in mind for his story, so the echoes/rhymes felt more resonant for me. Favroni don't feel like they have any idea where they're going and so much winds up feeling like shock value and self-reference for nostalgia bad for me instead of something that's Going Somewhere.

hiyaa :) ask game so we can tag phan!! shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up + if you think they can be related to DnP or not. Copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals!!

💀 y'all kill me alright fine but im in a yapping mood so ur getting the sparknotes version too

• lucky - dermot kennedy

this one is actually fully fanfic fodder bc I'm picturing transfemme lesbians who fall in love before coming out to themselves and each other. im also picturing the relationship opening up and transfemme!phil gets a new girlfriend, and this song is from transfemme!dan's perspective as she talks to the new girlfriend about taking care of phil.

• hated you from hello - downplay

this one cracks me up cuz I'm more just thinking of all the times Dan's told phil he hated him, or referencing the whole "enemies" or bitter exes thing, it's fully a shitpost but it makes me laugh.

plus idk this just makes me think of the tour & YouTube 💀

• willow tree - twin wild

i mean, this one could be obvious but it just the vibes y'know. plus tour again

but yeah i mean every line of this screams Dan's existentialism, them changing over the years into new people and wondering how much more there could be for them

• cherry red - waterparks

this song is SHOCKINGLY shorter than i remember it being but this gives early relationship drama vibes

like I'm picturing dan angry with phil because of their relationship and just generally drama (not projecting (<- is projecting))

• no 1 else - shYbeast

you get the idea

i love your designs so much !!!!! i wish i could buy one but i am simply a broke college student and shipping to europe is always very expensive 😔

keep doing what youre doing and dont listen to the dumb people <3

Thank you!! 💖

Yeah, shipping to Europe is ridiculous and only getting worse every year. Even just to Canada is super expensive these days :[ I wish I could do something about it but I'm many years off from anything like being able to have a European shipping hub.. Maybe someday...

And don't worry! I'll just keep using them for shitpost fodder as always 😁

Fundamentally Trump fucking sucks for so many reason which is why it makes me so mad that he’s so objectively good at posting

gods problematic fave shitposter. his shit takes are worth their weight in gold with meme fodder
