  1. From BS01: I always assumed Glatorian were closer to peak human strength, or maybe just above that given their metallic bone structure, but even then in comparison more than a ton would be a lot. And yeah you're right that they would probably be pretty equal for quite a few years, but I was thinking farther into the future. Although maybe the Agori's loyalty to the Glatorian would create an irreparable rift between the two societies? I think I remember him hinting that somewhere, so maybe over time they would gain powers somehow. But I don't think their weapons would give then nearly as powerful control over an element as that of a Toa. Also I think the only time the Matoran ever fought alongside the Toa was out of necessity when there previously had been no Toa to fight for them, such as on Voya Nui and Mahri Nui when the Matoran had been defending themselves for a while. Yeah, I think there's more than double the number of Glatorian than Toa at the moment (EDIT: I think I remember Greg saying there were about 100 on Bara Manga at the time of the 2009 storyline, but I'm not 100% sure on that), but I'd assume that the number of Toa would increase with time. Haha not that much of a happy ending in that case, but it may happen. Although I didn't really consider evolution; as primarily organic (and mammalian) creatures maybe the Glatorian would eventually evolve in such a way that would grant them powers.
  2. Whew, flexing my topic-making muscles for the first time in a while here. So from what I understand, the Toa are basically superior to the Glatorian both in terms of physical strength and in terms of powers (considering the Glatorian have no natural powers of their own). After the MU and Spherus Magna societies have integrated into one society, what would be the place of Glatorian in that society? If the Toa are basically superior in every way, what role can the Glatorian even take? Would they simply become regular citizens? Or would they become lower-level guardians, maybe law-enforcement, while the Toa become more of a military power? I can't imagine that both the Glatorian and the Toa would be on the front lines together simply because of that huge power difference. Or maybe I'm over-analyzing and there would be no societal effect at all. Thoughts?
  3. should've been titled "Mewtwo Returns"

    haha wow this is pretty goo- ohhhhhhhhhhh nooooOOOOOOOOOOO in all seriousness though this was a very fun read. nailed the personalities of all of the Toa
  6. Been pretty stressed myself, what with homework and sleep deprivation and prama and homework and ah jeez so much homework. But I'm almost to spring break so that's a relief. But yeah good to hear that you're getting a bit of a break now!

    This is the Week

    HAH NO PROM JOKE FOR YOU sry sprt ;-; oh boy that does not sound like fun at all. i'm planning to just go on a mac-and-cheese and ice cream based diet for a few days
  8. So this is the week of everything. Which sounds like every week in high school but. Tomorrow we test our physics project: a windmill that, when powered by a fan, has to lift a 100 gram weight one meter off of the ground. The catch: we're graded by our time; the person whose windmill lifts the weight in the shortest amount of time gets a 100%, and the rest of the grades are based off of that. The lowest time gets, at most, an 80%. It's worth three lab grades. While I get why the project is graded this way, as it's impossible to predict what times people will get and you can't give everyone an A+, it's still pretty nerve-wracking. But last time I checked my relatively simple windmill had one of the highest times in the class, so I don't have too much to worry about. I also have an English research paper due at the end of the week. What I have so far is pretty shoddily done, which is sad because I like English and writing is one of my passions. But there's too much Skyrim to play to do a good job on it so Finally, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday. Half curious, half nervous, half terrified of what's gonna happen, but I'm probably gonna lock up my cell phone so that I can't do anything stupid with it while under the effects of the anesthetic. In better news, I have found another prom date. Another good friend of mine who didn't have a date yet agreed to go with me; she was very excited about it and I had flowers and everything which made it pretty nice. In addition, I talked with the friend I was going to ask before (see my last entry). Turns out that she was feeling the pressure of her friends asking her to date her best friend (me), and so she panicked when she learned when I was gonna ask her to prom. She admitted to and apologized for not taking the best course of action; it was a really heartfelt apology. I really am not the person to be mad at people, so we decided to pick up and be chill again. In addition I've been working on a super secret writing project that you guys will hopefully see in a couple of months. But all of that was last week. This is this week. It's gonna be a doozy. back to skyrim i guess
  9. Well, welcome back to BZP! Have fun on the blogs. It's pretty weird around here.

    The Upcoming Day

  11. So I walk up to my friend and he's eating a sandwich, and I ask him what kind of sandwich it is. He tells me that it's ham and cheese on ciabatta bread. So I say, "Come on, man, ciabatta be kidding me!" I still tell him this joke regardless of what he's doing/eating. He might hate me now.
  12. Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like? Are you space? How many space? Can I use this question to congratulate you on finding a profession that you enjoy and say that I admire you for it?
  13. What the entire G1 BIONICLE story really boiled down to, regardless of all of the subplots, was the forces of Mata Nui against Makuta (Teridax, whatever): that was the main conflict. It really couldn't have ended any other way other than with Makuta's death.
  14. Ultimately voted for Matoro, but it was painful turning down Dume & Nivawk and TSO. Matoro just looks so much like the original set while at the same time keeping with the aesthetic of G2. Best of luck to all the finalists!

    Hey Guys

    Thanks guys, it's much appreciated. ^-^
  16. Haha, yeah that does not sound like the most sanitary practice. Maybe if you guys use mouthwash directly after drinking something? Do not do that, that is a bad idea, I do not know how wind instruments work =(

    Hey Guys

    So my promposal got turned down today. Kind of, I didn't even get to ask, she avoided me in the morning when I was gonna ask her and I later had to find out second-hand that she was going to say no if I asked. She never told me up front. Gave the flowers to my mom so I guess that's nice. Don't worry too much about me, I'm handling it as best I can. And today I got to see how much my friends really cared about me, which was incredibly heartwarming. If anyone has any corny jokes, puns, gifs, or just general comforts that would be appreciated. I'll probably explain the whole situation in entirety later, but for now I'd rather not. Thanks. Peace.
  18. First off, hi there! Been a while. I'll post a life-update thing soon-ish. Anyways, my high-school orchestra conductor may be one of the nicest, most supportive people I have ever met or will ever meet. He's an older man, but he's always full of a joyful energy and can often be seen with a huge grin across his face. He always tells us that he loves us and that we're his favorites, and it's one of the most adorable, fulfilling things to hear him talk. So a few days ago (last Friday, to be exact) we come in for our daily orchestra class. We're all pretty worn out- it's been a long week. He picks up on this, and after we tune he selects me, one of my good friends, and maybe about six other kids and tells us to follow him as he briskly walks out of the classroom. We have to struggle to keep up as he exits the music hall and strolls into the school, finally stopping at the vending machines. Once we all get there, he pulls out a big wad of cash and starts inserting money into one of the vending machines and ordering drinks. He gives us all money and tells us to do the same, and we finally pick up on what he's doing- he's buying drinks for the entire orchestra. And there's maybe about 30-40 kids in the orchestra, too. So we do what he says and buy a bunch of beverages from the vending machines, and then once we've bought a sufficient amount we carry them all back to the orchestra room and distribute them. All the while he's just smiling and watching us enjoy our treat. To think that spending an hour a day with a bunch of high-schoolers makes someone so happy that they would spend their own money to cheer us up. I can't think of any words to describe him. He's just an amazing guy. Just think the polar opposite of J.K. Simmons from Whiplash.
  19. If you need more Water people I'd be fine with being Water. If you need more. Up to you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    this is it

    ...jurassic park opens at midnight?
  22. Glad that I got a fittingly violent ending, fitting for a Triplet at least. but dang the Shadow though did not see that one coming. High-octane end to a similarly high-octane story, with just enough loose ends to be satisfying but not infuriating. and probably a good end to the entire mafia story idk about that, if i have the time maybe i'll go back and read them

    Questions

    1. Lewa =( 2. Call me cliche, but Takanuva because nostalgia 3. Stone? 4. Plasma was pretty cool 5. Eat it, probably 6. Tahu finds quaza and becomes Billy Blaze. Nah, probably reintroduce Matoran, Turaga but make the island (not Mata Nui or Okoto) bigger, maybe like part of an archipelago or something, and have more female characters. or something idk 7. i'd tell it to mind it's own business and get off my face please 8. cinnamon with a hint of honey 9. see first part of 6 10. dolphins 11. Probably not that advanced, but then again they do have gattling gun blaster things so 12. then the toa should just pack up and get out of there, like no point even trying, game over 13. cower in fear, go home, hide underneath sheets 14. they killed laura palmer 15. bring in the clowns
  24. there is still hope for side character cyrix Ehks' death was really well done, and from what I've seen in this story a pretty good conclusion to his character arc (I'd assume that it would have been much better had I read the other parts of the Mafia storyline). But no yeah things aren't looking good for anyone, like you warned us but dang (also yay references! although i only counted two in this chapter, pinocchio and breaking bad, and even then they might not be direct intentional references but whatever)
