    So here's a question, what are your "Favorites"?
     
    Now what I mean by this is that sometimes when you're asked the question, "What is your favorite _____" you can't think of an answer. Maybe you don't have a favorite food or a favorite song for example. But you do know for example what your favorite book or your favorite movie is. So that's my question, what are some things that you know are your favorites.
     
    My favorite toy growing up: LEGO/BIONICLE
     
    My favorite food: Pizza
     
    My favorite TV Show: Avatar the last Airbender
     
     
    So what are your known favorites?

    Simple question.
     
    Let's say you're given a (1) million dollars. What do you do with it?
     
     
    Personally, I'd probably try to knock out the essentials such as buying a house, getting a car, buying other needed materials and then probably investing the rest and continuing work. What about you?
     
    What would you do with a million dollars?

    Simple question, what are your goals in life?
     
    I'd say that most people (not everyone) have goals in their life, whether they're long term or short term. So what are yours?
     
    For me, I've got a few. Here's my goals:
    Getting my doctorate in psychology.
    Becoming a school psychologist.
    Get married and settle down with a family.
    Complete book series I'm writing.

    So what about you?
     
    What are your goals in life?

    Here's a question:
     
    You can have any super power, what do you pick?
     
    Pretty simple question although I'd like to point out that super power doesn't necessarily have to be what's most commonly associated with super powers. Literally any power that you've seen a character have in some form of media, comics, literature, whatever is valid.
     
    My Answer:
     
    I've always been a fan of the power of foresight, to be able to look into the future and predict the movement of others around you. It seems like just the right amount of overpowered-ness.
     
    So what about you?
     
    If you can have any Super Power, what would you pick?

    I felt depressed so I wrote a poem. None of it is actually related to anything going on with me, it just flowed well.
     
    Masked Feelings
    By Soran
     
    "A smile is all I need," he said
    While beaming right at me.
    I forced myself, nodding my head.
    "That's what I like to see!"
     
    I slowly found my way right past,
    And sauntered all the way.
    I thought of things that did not last,
    The things that didn't stay.
     
    I dreamt of love, I dreamt of life,
    The goals of human kind.
    Of laughs, love and evening strife,
    The things that weren't mine.
     
    I wandered through my mind's sad haze,
    The broken dreams of you.
    While lost in thoughts and in a daze
    I thought of what was true.
     
    Life is no test it's simply cruel,
    There is no fairness here.
    "And without me you're just a fool,"
    Were tunes upon my ear.
     
    I settled down, slowly returned,
    Into this world of ours.
    The world I left; what wasn't earned,
    I counted down the hours.
     
    "My time is long, but could be short,"
    I looked upon the date.
    The final day to end this sport,
    The day I took my fate.
     

    Optional "Happy Ending" Stanza And so I am, free of my chains,I try my best to boast.
    Now simply free, without my pains,
    I'm just a spooky ghost.

    Here's a question:
     
    What did you want to be growing up?
     
    Doesn't matter whether you achieved it or not, or whether it's physically possible (like wanting to be a firetruck or dinosaur). Just what did you want to be?
     
    --------
     
    Mine was different than most kids I knew because I didn't have a job in mind, I simply wanted to be a father growing up.

    Here's a question:
     
    What's the coolest weapon or tool?
     
    This one is tough for me, since I just think of many iconic weapons in stories. The main one to come to mind for me is the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda. What's yours?

    Simple question, what is your favorite invention of mankind? It doesn't have to be the most complex of answers or the one that pushed mankind the furthest or anything; just personally for you, what is your favorite?
     
    I'll be honest, thinking long and hard about this I'll have to say modern plumbing. From sinks, to toilets, to showers, the invention of modern plumbing has brought the modern person so much comfort and use on a daily basis. Through modern plumbing we have easy access to water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and waste disposal. It's absolutely amazing.
     
    So what about you, what's your favorite invention of mankind?

    Here's a question:
     
    What's an interesting quirk about yourself?
     
    Literally anything applies, whether physical or mental, good or bad, etc.
     
    ---------
     
    Mine is that I have better control over my left side of my body (but I'm right handed). So my left thumb is double-jointed but my right isn't, and I can move my left ear but not my right, etc.

    Recommend a Book!

    By Soran,

    I'm interested in getting into some reading this summer and I'm curious as to what books you guys have read. Are there any stories you find particularly interesting? What did you enjoy reading? I want to know!
     
    So if you could recommend an interesting book to read over the summer, what book would you recommend?

    Simple question. If you could dress up as anything perfectly, meaning you could look like the character in its entirety, what/who would you dress up as? Essentially it's, "What character would you shape-shift into?"
     
    I'd probably go with… Toon Link. It'd be pretty entertaining being this cartoonish, small character who only speaks in "Hyah!"s. Also the vast arsenal I would have is tempting.
     
    So if you could dress up as anyone perfectly, who would you dress up as?

    Here's a situation.
     
    You're a ghost and you're able to haunt a place but you can't move. You can also haunt an individual person but you must follow them.
     
    Who or what do you haunt?
     
    -----
     
    Personally, I'd haunt a movie theater. Free movies.

    Here's a situation:
     
    Everything you have ever lost is returned to you one day. What is the first thing you try to find?
     
    I have a couple games that I misplaced that I'd like to find if given the option. Either that or some stuffed animals.

    Failed Poetry

    By Soran,

    I was suggested the idea of making more elemental poems, so I decided to give it a shot with making "The Tale of Ice". Didn't work out so well as you can tell from the title. These are all fragments of the poem. Specifically, they were different ways to start it. Here's what I got.
     
     
    Let me tell you a fun, wonderful tale
    of sights to behold beyond this white veil,
     
     
    Mirror, mirror, oh help me find my way.
    Please find me some warmth, and a place to stay.
     
     
    Crystal clear,
    like that of a mirror.
     
     
    Mirror, mirror, oh please tell me the tale;
    of bright white blankets that cover the land.
    Tell me of the sights beyond this white veil,
    Oh please, won't you help me to understand.
     
    Tell me of ice, the coolness of it all,
     
    The stoic blizzard that never will stall.
     
     
    "Mirror, mirror, oh please help me to see
    beyond this white veil, the places I'll be.
    Warn me of the danger, of what's to come,
    find me some shelter before I am numb."
     
     
    "Little one, do not fret, as I am always here.
    Snow is not your enemy; yours is simply fear."
     
    "Its fear of what's to come which causes me to yield,
    Please, mirror, oh mirror, protect me with your shield."
     
     
    I came up with one idea of making a poem based around the Mask of Life's challenge for Matoro in the dark cave, of helping a friend through the dark. Besides this idea and the elements, I've got nothing.
     
    Any of you got any good ideas for a poem surrounding BIONICLE?

    Self Portrait

    By Soran,

    Howdy, I got bored so I drew a self portrait.
     



     

    Link to Self Portrait

     
    I was recently practicing drawing realistic faces based off of memory and I got bored… So I drew myself. I went with a more serious expression this time and I tried to add as much detail as I could overall. I think I'm pretty satisfied with it, it definitely looks pretty well off.
     
    I'm the one on the right.

    2 Truths and a Lie

    By Soran,

    Can you guess which one is the lie?
    I can wiggle my right ear.
    Despite living in the South (U.S.) for most of my life I have no southern accent.
    I have more control over the left side of my body.

    What's yours?

    Need Authors

    By Soran,

    Howdy,
     
    I need some people who consider themselves to be pretty fancy authors for a large-scale project. Basically I would need you to create little mini quests/story arcs within the BIONICLE universe. I'm in search of another point of view (or various points of view) regarding storytelling. If any of you are interested either comment down below or send me a PM.

    Long but good ideas

    By Soran,

    So I just came up with a pretty good idea. At least, I think it's good.
     
    It's a play off of my "The Road to Home" series. This time, it's literally a "Choose your own adventure" in the book sense. Your goal would be to make it to the end. It would be a whole collection of posts in a topic which would all link together in some way. So for example:
     
    Post #4 gives you 2 options at the end of it. Option 1 links to post #5 and option 2 links to post #17.
     
    It's literally a giant web. And the idea of it is to, like most "Choose your own adventure" books, keep the main character (Soran) alive to the very end. What this means is that in this comic there is the option of killing Soran. It's a game to keep him alive and home. The world of BIONICLE is a dangerous place and literally the smallest of things could kill Soran. It's all about picking the right options and seeing just how much you can get done in the story.
     
    One topic would be comprised of the entire comic which could theoretically be 500+ comics/posts. Another topic would be the "Review" topic which would be for feedback on the series; did you survive, where did you die, what was your favorite quest, etc.
     
    This to me seems like a brilliant idea. It's also a very time consuming idea because I can't release the comic in installments, it would have to be all at once. So if I get around to doing this, be sure to stay tuned in (probably) 1-2 years.
     
    What do you think of this idea? Good? Bad?
  25. Soran
    Simple question,
     
    A genie appears willing to grant you 3 wishes. What are your 3 wishes you would make if presented with the option.
     
    Rules:
    No wishing for anyone to fall in love with you.
    No wishing for the death of anyone.
    No wishing for anyone to be revived from the dead.
     
     

    My wishes My wishes would be,
    Comfortable finances.
    The talent to do what I wish.
    Healthy life.
