When you like the attention, but your sister doesn’t:
Lewa was stopped by some Le-Matoran Paparazzi.
Gali is annoyed by their excitable nature.
Lewa looooooooooves it.
(Oh, and here’s the traditional version)
Two more drawings done on stream to raise money for the LA fire victims

The other Bohrok are annoyed they don't have a day of the week they can steal.

Random bionicle headcanon:
Avak can shred
I like to imagine that the guitar in avak's dynamo from bionicle heroes is actually done by avak himself. Also the fact that he's supposed to be the "stone" piraka only furthers my point of him liking rock music

Stuff that actually happens in Bionicle:
Sexy snakes invent capitalism and then face severe regulation by a bunch of demonic mad scientists.
One of said mad scientists impersonated the mayor of a Frutiger Aero dystopia and put all of the citizens into The Pokéballs That Make You Smaller.
There are six fish-themed warlords with (for the most part) really on-the-nose names. They weren't always fish-themed, they just happened to be in a prison that became flooded with The Water That Makes You A Fish. Their main underling is a four-armed squid-man, who is naturally immune to The Water That Makes You A Fish.
The setting's equivalent of Hephaestus made a bunch of useful stuff, including but not limited: to the first six protagonists, the leader of the Bionicle CIA, some cool planes, and the Bionicle CIA's prison-warden robots.
One of the Magic Frisbees that are the central macguffins of the 2004 arc was stuck between the teeth of the Bionicle equivalent of The Bloop.
Some shark guys who were the antagonists of the 2006 arc got put into the Water That Makes You A Fish. They got turned into eels.
There's an entire group of heroes who were brought together to protect the mad scientist I mentioned earlier, then got turned into tiny lizard creatures by one of the sexy snakes, and they didn't get turned back until thousands of years later.
A random villager from an underwater city (which is directly next to the prison that got flooded with the Water That Makes You A Fish) was transformed by the main macguffin into said prison's jailer, who by that point had already been dead for several millenia after being shanked by the blue fish-themed warlord.
There's a substance called Black Fire, which isn't literally black fire. The CIA's warden robots are filled with (and presumably powered by) it, and can shoot it out of their giant impractical swords.
The Makuta devolution scene.
Bionicle Frankenstein's name can also refer to his private island and also a giant plant monster.
It’s not graffiti, it’s art!

I love how BS01 describes the roles of the members of the Voya Nui resistance
There's Garan, the leader. Balta, the second-in-command and a skilled tinkerer. Dalu, the team's best fighter. Velika, a Great Being in disguise and the team's inventor, even more skilled than Balta. Piruk, the spy, their eyes inside the Piraka stronghold.
And then there's Kazi. He's a realist. His job is to stand there and remind everyone how utterly boned they are.
They could have made him anything, he could have been a medic, or a hunter, or a scout, but no. His title is "realist." Not even an allusion to him being the secretive one who knows about Axonn before everyone else, no, Kazi is defined by how he makes sure the people around him remember their circumstances and don't have too good a time. Icon, honestly.
FUCKING getting you! get here so I can get FUCKING get you!
painful to think about how Nuju and to some degree all the Turaga and even the Toa Mata fostered an expectation in Matoro that there are some things that can't be shared with anyone and that he needs to handle enormous responsibilities on his own. but we don't talk as much about how Ko-Matoran culture in general does this to all the Ko-Matoran as well as Nuju and Kopaka. in Ko-Metru and Ko-Koro, the idea is that you should be intensely independent, that the most quiet and dedicated scholars are the most highly valued members of the society, and that sharing with others is an annoyance. in their isolation, I figure a lot of them even lack the social skills to know how to share something or ask for help that would be expected in other cultures, and likewise, they might not know how to support a friend in need.
this is part of why Kopaka always seems so taken aback by Pohatu wanting to help him so much and Gali expecting him to be able to express himself and have deep conversations with her. it's also related to Nuju being so unwilling to rely on his siblings. those aren't things that Ko-Matoran do.
I'm sure there are other Matoran in Ko-Koro who would have done exactly as Matoro did if they were in his situation. we talk a lot about Nuju teaching Matoro to act that way, but less about how the whole culture revolves around that isolation and how Nuju also learned this from his peers and no doubt his Toa too. it's interesting to me because I believe Lhikan picked Nuju for his ferocity as well as his cleverness, but did Nuju ever know that? or did he just think Lhikan chose a competent scholar with a reputation for his independence? anyway, the point is Matoro wasn't the only Ko-Matoran who needed to hear the message that he didn't have to do everything on his own and should ask for help and support sometimes, and Nuju wasn't the only one who taught him otherwise

Honestly I need to appreciate the Voya-Nui resistance team more.
-The Piraka are absurdly overpowered and way too eager to kill, so trying to take one on directly is suicide and trying to take one out through subterfuge is still an abjectly unfair proposal.
-There are six of them, so even with their constant power-jockeying, even if the resistance did manage to take one down, the other five would immediately crack down hard.
-Also just. Zaktan. Protodites. There's jack shit anyone can do about that.
-Also they have all the mind-controlled matoran as hostage collateral who would be punished for even lesser forms of resistance.
-The Piraka broke their trust in Toa, and then with the Nuva, in the ability of real Toa to meaningfully help them. The Inika do show up and win eventually, but for the most part the Resistance team is operating on the assumption that they're not getting any help, they can only do this themselves.
Like, they were objectively fucked six ways from sunday no matter what, but they still decided yeah, fuckit, we're not gonna stand for this shit. Dying free is still better than a life in chains, and we won't run away and leave the rest behind, either. And I have to really respect that.
