Something interesting about Bionicle is that this is very much about the Toa being the heroes who protect the Matoran, but the Matoran fighting their own battles and even saving the Toa has been a theme since the beginning since MNOG

Bionicle, unlike other franchises, doesn't see the civilians as tokens to be protected, but fully autonomous people who can take care of themselves, it's just that the Toa are giants and have super powers

Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

i feel extremely fortunate to live with two cats that are super affectionate.

i do, however, wish they were slightly less prone to crime.

Everyone is saying that the professor is grinding the Pokémon into candy, but consider the following:

• The professor frantically running around with assistants, inspecting hundreds of thousands of pidgeys a day, getting bitten and screeched at while they try to figure out if this pidgey has been tagged yet so they release them back to track their migration

• Panicked interns trying to scoop the ekanses back into their tank because theyre freaking out the rattatas

• Three caterpies climbed into a vent and evolved into metapods that are too far in to reach so six underpaid college students are trying to dismantle ductwork

• Theres a big door marked “KEEP OUT” because a dozen oddish evolved into a squad of Vileplumes and until they stop releasing stun spores the entire room is just off limits

• Hundreds of researchers running on red bull and determination trying to tag and examine all the Pokemon but having to turn off the machine every once in a while to the discontent of trainers who are all getting a “Sorry, the servers are currently down” message at LEAST twice a day

• “GPS not found” flashes while returning a big group and suddenly Florida has been gifted 6,000 mankeys right in the middle of Epcot

• Someone in the back room up to their waist in stale dog treats with a bunch of little stamps. They sigh deeply at how gullible Pokemon trainers are that they think these things actually do anything other than excite the Pokemon so much they evolve

• Actual science professor surrounded by chaos and interns and a budget just too small

There's also probably something to be said about Dume having much more knowledge of the great spirit as a whole. The Toa Metru only left Metru Nui after the cataclysm, but Metru Nui had stuff like exports so Dume probably knew a lot more about the day to day runnings of Metru Nui. Not to mention his time as a Toa. Dume has been stated to have done missions outside of Metru Nui. It's how he met Lhikan. I would assume it would end up with the turaga as being regional governors dealing with anything inside Metru Nui. Once it got to anywhere outside of it, that's when the Matoran/Turaga went to Dume.

Okay but

When the Mata Nui matoran returned to metru nui

Did any of them actually listen to Dume? Or did they just treat him like an old man yelling at clouds and just go ask their real turaga instead.
