thinkin bout how gay i am

 

That made me think of just how diverse the members of this site are.  We've got anime addicts, a Muslim, an atheist, some Christians, some trans folks, a pair of lesbians, a gay guy, gender fluidity, and whatever EmperorWhenua is.

Really dealing with the whole box of crayons here.

youd be really surprised at how diverse this site actually is, its just that a lot of people might just not ever talk about a lot of that kind of stuff. idk if this is still how it is since ive been largely inactive as of late, but i know as recently as just a few years ago - especially before the server upgrade in 2011, when the site was really active - this site had a LOT of specifically conservative christian people. needless to say, it fostered a rather ... unpleasant environment, at least to me

i for one know like, a dozen trans women alone who are/were members of bzpower, myself included. i also happen to be a lesbian myself, if my original post was any indication

good ol bat man

i heard that movie was good btw ?? i want to go see it

thinkin bout how gay i am

artwork of what looks like a movie-style rahkshi. very classic

thank u everyone xoxo especially micah and becca, both ur images have been making me lose it all day and i love u both and also i love u bryan for making this topic and i love u all for responding i hope u all had a good day today

i cant believe homestuck finally ended

very simple, but honest and straightforward

an avatar that makes a statement ... and one i wholeheartedly agree with. i love them both.

it looks like an experiment with bees and the beehive has all this honey but in different colours strategically placed through training and conditioning bees to know and understand art. you could make a lot of money being an artist in this as-yet unexplored medium

every time i come into this topic its always somehow after youve posted and every single time i fail to come up with a witty way to describe it. is this why youre associated with doom? will my consistent failure to describe your brand be my ultimate demise? deep stuff ...

feels like something out of a 2007-era sprite comic. very uh ... retro?

i think life on mars deserves a reboot. it holds a certain significance (at least, to me) as being the only space line where the goal of the human and extraterrestrial characters doesnt involve violence between each other, but cooperation and friendship. i know being able to swoop a spaceship around and have heroic humans defend themselves against antagonistic aliens is fun to roleplay and is usually a fun concept i guess? but i feel like theres some merit in considering something ... less violent, i guess, especially considering how many of legos other themes are also more action-based. at the very least, it could have humans and aliens teaming up against a common threat, instead of having a weird divide of humans vs aliens

 

plus, we could see some sweet mech designs, hopefully in interesting colours. a return of sand red and sand purple would be out of line probably, but we could still see robotic sets and vehicles in colourful shades similar to life on mars, as well as cute new martian minifigs

 

The problem with Life on Mars, I think, is that there wasn't any obvious conflict to help drive the plot. Yes, there was one in the actual story (with one traitorous martian trying to sabotage relations between the martians and humans), but that kind of political intrigue doesn't really resonate with kids and wasn't even self-evident in the set designs—it was years before I realized the blue martian was the "bad guy" in the story.

 

I think a new theme with human and alien collaboration is definitely possible in the future, but even if you did do something like that you would still need to have some sort of conflict play in order to create a more obvious story structure. A theme like Space Police could easily achieve that simply by including both humans AND aliens teamed up for both the police AND criminal factions. Granted, you'd want a more unified design language for the villains in that case (to make clear which side every character was on), but you could still achieve that by making both the police and criminals uniformed factions—Blacktron, anyone?

yeah i guess youre right ... like i said though, they could at least have humans vs aliens teaming up or something. the idea youve got w/ space police seems pretty cool and i wouldnt mind that

really, im just kinda tired of humans vs aliens and want something a little more lighthearted in spacefaring, but thats. probably just me lmao

i would describe your sig, but your banners got me all worked up about the new star wars again ... i cant wait

i decided to watch age of ultron again yesterday, because i had forgotten what it was like for the most part b/c i hadnt seen it since it came out in theaters. but now i remember why i forgot most of it. it just. wasnt really that good at all? it killed some of my hype for future mcu movies, leaving my enjoyment peaking with gotg

i havent seen ant-man yet. so idk how that is.

do all those other languages also say your name? i only recognize matoran :l

unsure if it counts but ... i got a ticket to see the beach boys in concert next week 8)

that piece would be better if they went back to using neutral colours for it

for a moment i thought he was holding a gun

you better get on finishing your collection before the new sets roll out

where does sans get his chub from if hes a skeleton anyway. does he wear multiple layers underneath his jacket

a charming fellow with a charming sense of humour
