I mean, yeah, I have a dozen more since-birth moles myself. The difference is that I can easily see the rest of them in case they start looking abnormal, whereas it was nearly impossible to see the one on my neck due to its odd placement.

I have two but would dream about farm animals for a third.

everything happens so much

I'm proud of you! Glad everything worked out positively.
 
This is still no reason to keep procrastinating on that epic fan fiction you keep teasing us with, though.

We will eventually reach the singularity where all possible movie roles star Benadryl Cummerbund

I'm going to keep suggesting one thing in all blog entries of this ilk until someone finally does it:

Xaeraz imitates a tree in a strong breeze

Xaeraz becomes a unit of measurement

Xaeraz forks over money for something

There's a whole lot of nuance in this matter that gets missed during heated discussions.

Having strong female characters isn't going to help if they're all just one kind of "strong." Your point about inclusivity speaks to that well.

But, but... by that logic, in my fan fiction Tahu doesn't make out with himself...

...

Everything I know is a lie!

Why make Tahu make out with himself when you can make Kopaka make out with himself?

 

Because Tahu/Tahu is HOT!

 

But Kopaka/Kopaka is cool.

 

Back in my days, the Matoran would throw their projectiles WITH THEIR ARMS!

 

Back in my day, they didn't even HAVE arms. They had wheels. And when they launched the wheels, they couldn't move anymore and that was it!

 

Back in MY day, we had WOODEN DUCKS! They rolled around and did NOTHING!

If you wanted to use it as a projectile you threw it at your friend Jimmy! He was trying to lose his two front teeth anyway.

Get off my lawn!

I wouldn't say the door is closed on any possible ties to the old continuity, but I do think that if there are ties, they will be subtle ones, and I would rather they be a surprise than speculate endlessly on how the universes MIGHT be connected.

The new story team should be well aware of what led to the demise of G1—an unreasonably long backstory—and seek to avoid it. The shout-outs are nice, but if they begin tying in multiple universes in a way that's not a cheap easter egg for the old-timers, then at that point G2 would have gone the way of G1.

I guess the point is that a convoluted story isn't necessarily a good story. I hope G2 goes for the latter and not the former.

Congratulations, Sumiki, on being 100% correct and enlightening us with your great and mighty wisdom! As a reward for your highly generous efforts on our behalf, you recieve...a shrug.

 

I'm assuming that's a compliment in your culture.
