This is utterly brilliant and even though it's a bit old, I thought it worthwhile to share it all with you over a network of computers, which allows instantaneous communication between users through its interface from all over the world.
If all stories were written like science fiction stories

Roger and Ann needed to meet Sergey in San Francisco.
“Should we take a train, or a steamship, or a plane?” asked Ann.
“Trains are too slow, and the trip by steamship
So this is a thing I did on other websites that was fun there and might be fun here. Basically post a comment here with a pairing and/or character and an AU (alternate universe, for those who don't know) and I'll write a three sentence fic. Expect long, run-on sentences and semicolons. So obviously you can request Bionicle fics and I'm fishing for Bionicle inspiration, but also anything from any of my other fandoms, particularly SWTOR, Dragon Age and Mass Effect. And My Little Pony.
I don't know? This freakin' website and it's freakin' inability to keep me away from it. Okay, yeah, actually it's been doing a fair job of keeping me away from it, since it's been what, like, a year? Several years? I don't even know anymore. So, howsabout those Bionicles?
Should I write up about why calling the Matoran "Tohunga" was that bad and not just people getting offended over nothing? I mean, I write enough about colonialism and its adverse effects on indigenous peoples enough for school and usually it makes me super depressed because it's a super depressing subject, but part of me really wants to write a whole paper about it and I'm already looking up sources. Most of which are behind a paywall. >_> I'm also a little afraid that it'll make me a bi
So I'm slightly bored cough cough avoiding studying so here's your exciting opportunity to ask me anything. ANYTHING. Nothing's off limits. My weird obsession with asexual alien frogmen? ASK ME ABOUT IT. My spiritual connection to Krahka? SURE. My spiritual connection to Petey Plane? GO FOR IT. Advice on pixel art? BRING IT. Justifications for my crack ships? AWWWW YEAHHHH I CAN TALK ALL DAY. Why I've been here for so long? MAN I DON'T KNOW ASK ME ANYWAY.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVWeqAPQUXc One of my favorite songs at the moment, and Actual!Krahka's theme song. One of these days I'll write some Krahka/Onewa based on this, but eh. Anyway, things with class have been picking up and getting extremely confusing, so I'm a little less than present at the moment.
I kind of miss you guys. I kind of miss what I used to have here, what this place used to mean to me. I've been on Tumblr, mostly, in the SWTOR fandom mostly, and it's been good to me and I follow every BZP person that I remember exists, and I'll always love you all. I guess this was mostly brought on by thinking about the My Little Pony fandom, and how awful it is for young people and how if I were a little girl today, I'd've been in love with that show the way I was in love with Bionicle,
So I've got finals like, tomorrow and after that, I'll be going to GenCon in Indianapolis for four days after that, so that'll be fun. I'm looking forward to that. (GenCon, not finals. Though I am looking forward to this class being over with.) Also my computer's broken so there's why I haven't shown up that much except on Tumblr.
This change in the advertising policy is awesome. That was literally the stupidest rule on any site I've ever been on. That being said, my main blog that I post on is full of swear words, (even though the nsfw tag has only two things in it) so I'm not linking to it. If you know me, you probably know where to find me. (HINT: I'M MOST OF THE SEARCH RESULTS FOR "KRAHKA") But I am going to be posting so many dolls on this thing and you can't even stop me.
Base (Pixel Princess exclusive) So let me introduce you to the hobby of mine that I haven't been able to show off to BZP because of the advertising policy. So dolling. Dolling is a collaborative art process that's based off of paper dolls. People make paper doll Barbie-naked bases and other people take them and add all the hair, clothes, edits, everything to make them come alive. It's a lot of fun. I could explain better but I don't feel like it. If you're interested, just contact me and I c
So I've been thinking of character concepts for the BZPRPG, since as much fun as I'm having with Iokua, I feel like I could be doing even moar. A naive Vortixx inventor who climbed the Mountain with teamwork and ingenuity, and believes this can solve all problems! Also she has a giant mech she built herself and a calculator. A Skakdi of Water who's a pirate with a heart of gold, which is to say, she really likes gold. A Toa of Iron who's an expert blacksmith who only forges weapons for t
So I have an issue with some of the advertisements on this site. Specifically the one selling Donald Trump's cologne. Why would anyone want to smell like Donald Trump? He smells like hairspray and crazy and sleaze and why does anyone listen to this guy and desperation for attention. I understand the concept of celebrity inspired perfumes. I'd like to smell like Nicki Minaj, even if it'd be a hallucinogen, probably. But Nicki Minaj is amazing, not washed up and stupid. I'd mostly like to smell
So tomorrow I'll be starting playing in a pirate themed Pathfinder campaign. I'll be playing a mad elven druid who's been stranded on a desert island for the past five hundred gazillion years. (He lost track at about 308). Long enough to go properly crazy and to talk to animals and plants better than he talks to people and stuff. So should he be a shark druid? Since that's an actual thing you can be. A druid devoted to sharks. Or should he just be an aquatic druid? Or a jungle druid?
I never got a Helryx set. I would pay in blood for a Helryx set. Seriously, I will send a vial of my own blood to anyone who makes a good, non-boob-armored Helryx MOC and sends it to me to treasure forever. (Not really.)
You know that thing about how it's not about your post count, but making your posts count? Well I've got neither, since my posts are pretty pointless. Anyway, I'd make a retrospective, but I don't feel like it. All I gotta say is that if I joined the RPG forum sooner, I'd have a lot more posts. Or maybe not?
So LEGO papercraft comes out about the same time that I get hardcore into, well, papercraft. And just as Bionicle starts ending. Well, um, it looks like I'll be building useless things to clutter my room with more dead trees than petroleum now. But quite possibly with slightly more petroleum than anticipated!
Though admittedly, since much of the appeal of papercraft comes from the fact that it's pretty much free (with the cost of ink and paper, which I'll pay for anyway . . . in large amounts
My blog was Blog of the Week like, a month ago.
I discovered this today.
I discovered this by searching for "Krahka" with the new and magical search engine thing.
I was not searching for myself, for once. I was searching for any fanfic whatsoever that involved Krahka that I haven't already read.
I did not find any.
I did, however, find out that THE MAN could read my drafts.
What the devil.
Yes, I do have like, more draft posts than blog posts.
Here is some
So here's what I've been up to lately, for those who haven't been following me on other websites. Been playing SWTOR. Lots and lots of SWTOR. So much SWTOR. This is probably the main thing you know if you've been following me on other websites. And uhhh, Mass Effect 3 came out. Its terrible, terrible ending was the catalyst (hurr) for my new dream to become a game developer, specifically one who can make people as passionate about language, history and culture as they are about Mass Effect.
I'm gonna just repost something I've done on another blog o' mine. It involves 100 things that are about me. More than you needed to know.
Why? Because. I can.
1. I am a JEDI DANGIT.
2. I hate talking on the phone. A lot. Phones are the pawns of Satan.
3. I'm fond of slightly out of date philosophies that went "out of date" without ever having their time. Seeing as I'm a deist and an anarchist in the not-at-all punk rawk way, but in the more Industrial Revolution way.
4. I
Updates on the life front.
1. So Spring Break. Hurrah. A week in which people reveal their intimate character or something. I reveal myself as an incredibly boring person, because all I'm doing this week is staying at home and reading science fiction novels that people pretend are not science fiction novels, reading everything by Osamu Tezuka that I haven't read yet that I'm able to get my hands on, and playing Fallout. All three of the games. At once.
2. Fallout! So yeah, my sister's boyf
I just joined the BZPRPG. Not with a Krahka. With a Matoran. (Though I've got ideas for a Vortixx character.) Never mind all my other responsibilities, eccentric archaeologists call to me!
So at the moment, my family is driving me to the brink of insanity (more than the usual background insanity I've got) for reasons that I'm not really willing to go into at this time and in this place, but there are times when I am extremely grateful. Today I was playing d20 Future, as I'm wont to do on Saturdays, and we were also playing with Legos as the GM has a bunch of Legos at his place. And among the Lego pieces was Gali's original mask. My brother and I, who both grew up with Bionicle r
Wow, I haven't been on BZP in ages. As in, I hadn't been on BZP for ages before the downtime. Then like, a couple months into it I got back into Bionicle and was like "Hey, whatever happened to the ol' haunting grounds?" And there I had it. What've I been doing? Uhhh, Fallout? And Dragon Age? I guess the Dragon Age thing was while the forums were out, was it? I don't even know. I wasn't paying attention very well. And ponies? Often both at the same time, whether you like it or not? And trying
