... it is a Missile Tow! Fer reelz!

... it does. Especially when you've gotten used to the 1.5% variety. Yes, 1.5. It's a European thing.

My uncle likes to call non-whole milk "water damaged". He's got a point.

That would make more sense, yes. As well as making it a tad easier to read in the long run. Just put up the odd shameless plug in here whenever you churn out a new chapter, so we know you're still out there somewhere.

Aww, poor gal. :< *digs her out from underneath her heaps of books and dusts her off* But yeah, college likes to do that to you. The things we go through for the sake of our future ...

Have a Tuany hug for the road. ^^ *huggle*

MOUT. YOU LIVE.

You're an awesome kind of weird. :3

I say leave Gali that way, and give the new armor to Tahu.

Um ... QFT?

You said I would like this, ToM ... and yesh, I do. This is almost more Onua than there's ever been Onua since '01. Mask, armour, everything is spot on - not to mention you're a crazy-awesome set designer. That upper arm armour and claw arrangement is incredibly clever and simple. I can see how the leg armour can be considered a little big and over-the-top, but I think it balances the jetpacks quite nicely. Also, sometimes you have to exaggerate to make it look good, and Onua is the epitome of bulk among the original Toa anyway.

Also, you make LEGO look sad. Truly. What's the point of making cool villain sets if the heroes can't match?

This is the kind of stuff that proves what a crazy-awesome staff we've got on this forum.

Nothing like a bunch of ToM spring photos of Tohunga to make you all warm and fuzzy and '01 nostalgic inside.

This remains the most hilarious MoC-adjustment evar. XD

... WIIIN.

... ToM, you are officially made of Win and Awesome.

... WIN.

The part with Maxilos' mask is ... staggering, really. I can only blame my lack of attention for not seeing that myself. That is such a cool tidbit.

And of course, every time you make a word analysis, it's a treat to read.

*finally gets to the last line in the journal entry and bursts out laughing*

Latin weirdness FTW. XD

Yes. You are most Awesome. About time you acknowledged it.

There are probably some things out there in this world that can beat the absolute jubilation of completely-out-of-the-blue walloping a really infuriating test thingie.

But who cares.

Congratulations, Lyg! Now you go savour that extended weekend, man. ^^

This will probably say an awful lot more about me than it will about you, but I consistently find myself falling in love with each and every one of your Toa MoCs.

I agree that the shoulders need to be filled out more, though.

Finally a pipsqueak from the old Dragonling!

Even if it's just an echo.

I think the most interesting part with this blog entry and its comments is the insight into American pronounciation. Since my native language is Swedish, I generally pronounce the vocals much harder.

Interesting deviations are Kraahkan and Avohkii, which I've always pronounced "AH-voh-kee" and "KrAH-ah-khan" respectively.

Hahli generally becomes "Hah-LEE" to me, though it's more a case of vocal length than actual stress. I agree that this version sounds a whole lot better.

Lhikan has always been and will always be "LEE-khan".

Hakann = "Ha-KANN", from the Swedish grammar rules concerning vocals followed by doubled consonants.

I can also note that I too pronounce Jovan with emphasis on the first syllable. Zaktan gets emphasis on both syllables, while Nektann gets a slight emphasis on the second, again due to the double n.

That be my two cents.

... she is standing in snow! Real snow. That's just awesomely adorable.

Such a spiffy mask, that Ice Blue Kaukau. Pity it also costs accordingly. It sure is perfect for Ko-Matoran, though.

--Tuan

Just wanting to say that I still <3 your spriting style, ToM.

--Tuan

I envy your Christmas weather. DX

--Tuan

I want snow too. ;_;

Consider yourself lucky to have snow. That actually sticks.
