18 and 19 for the ask game

18 - It's absolutely criminal the fandom has been sleeping on: Rhotuka Spinners. Rhotuka Spinners are such a fascinating concept. Every being in the Matoran Universe possesses the ability to generate a Rhotuka, but can't do so without a launcher. The launcher is just an externalization method for a power latent in its wielder. That's such a bizarre concept and I love it. And then there's the fact that every sapient character has a unique power. It's like Mask Powers 2.0. And quite frankly I'm shocked that I haven't seen more discussion or theorizing about what various characters' Rhotuka powers might be. I get that we only know a handful of characters' spinner powers and that makes it hard to determine a pattern, but I still feel like it leaves a lot of room for imagination and fun fan-talk.

19 - You're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like: Okay, look. Just. Hear me out, okay. That post, the other day. The one about the Toa Mata's many parents. Where we all kinda established that Artakha is effectively their father, while the closest thing they have to a mother is Helryx. A very distant, work-obsessed mother, but she did still welcome them into the world and arranged their training and saw to it that they had everything they needed. Yeah, now I kind of...ship Helryx and Artakha. Like. Just a little bit. In a weird, semi-platonic, semi-not way. Like, the precursor to the Order of Mata Nui was the Hand of Artakha, but Artakha himself had nothing to do with the organization, it was just named after him. And I can see him mentioning it to Helryx at some point and her actually getting a little flustered because sure, it happened millennia ago, but at the time, she and the rest of the grew were big fans of Artakha, so to speak. She's basically meeting the closest thing she's ever had to an idol or a role model when he shows up in the Core Processor. I don't know, something about two ancient workaholic recluses finding kindred spirits in each other appeals to me. I can see them sharing a drink, or standing together very stoically watching over their shared superhero children. Barely exchanging more than a handful of words but sharing a mutual understanding of safety and comfort in each other's presence. Yeah, I don't know why I'm like this either.

#the Nowhere Man who waits and the God of Stories who watches

sorry this interaction wouldn't leave us alone

if you ask me. being a good storyteller and love are inherently entwined. you cannot tell a good story without loving the people in it and loving those you tell it to. because to tell a good story is to understand it and its impact. to love is to understand how something moves through others and how to deliver it the way it would be best received. and how to breath life into something that did not exist before. storytelling is an act of creation sure but i do believe in all creation, there is love too. that there must be

So Lucifer Morningstar, the fourth of the fallen, (retired) ruler of hell, the Devil himself, is a character in DC comics, appearing in the Sandman comics, his own solo run and various other comics

He is absurdly powerful

The thing is, Lucifer still has access to his Divine power, unlike other fallen angels, and is actually more powerful than other angels

What does this mean?

Lucifer was the guy that shaped the matter to create the stars, an ability he still has
