I know, I know I've let you down. I've been a fool to myself. I thought that I could live for no one else.

But now, through all the hurt and pain, it's time for me to respect the ones who love me more than anything.

So with sadness in my heart, I feel the best thing I could do is end it all and leave forever.

What's done is done, it feels so bad, but once was happy now is sad. I'll never love again, my world is ending...

I wish that I could turn back time, 'cause now the guilt is all mine. Can't live without the trust from those you love.

I know you can't forget the past, you can't forget love and pride. Because of that, it's killing me inside.

It all returns to nothing.

It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down...

It all returns to nothing.

I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down...

In my heart of hearts, I know that I could never love again. I've lost everything, everything, everything that matters to me, matters in this world...

I wish that I could turn back time, 'cause now the guilt is all mine.

Can't live without the trust from those you love.

I know you can't forget the past, you can't forget love and pride.

Because of that, it's killing me inside.

It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down tumbling down...

It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down...

It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down...

It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down...

I Had A Mental Breakdown

I had a breakdown last night. I remember something I saw in the vent-channel of Essenger's server. Something about how someone lost a close friend. How whenever he'd make new music, he go to ask his friend, only to realize he was dead. How he thought he had to carry on. How he knew deep down that if his friend could somehow speak to him, he'd ask him to keep making music until he died too. Until he joined him. Like if even though his friend wasn't watching over him, left him forever, didn't miss him at all, he still expected him to just carry on. And he could feel that somehow. He doesn't have to carry on! He can miss him!

What if he really was feeling his friend, even though he no longer cared for him.

DAMN STRAIGHT you can recreate those feelings that the older fans felt, even with the newer fans. All of that @2stepadmiral just described, that's it. That's me. Someone who had little to no memories of Bionicle, and yet those exact experiences were recreated for me. I felt those exact same feelings that the children who were fans of Bionicle felt long ago, as if I had known the Matoran, Toa, and Turaga my whole life. From reading the entire Bionicle stories, seeing the three films, playing the Mata Nui online game and the other online animation, and even getting a few of the toys, I swear I've had a real taste of the Bionicle experience.

Bionicle disturbed me so much. And Matoro... I was just as destroyed as everyone else was. That experience this post described was the exact same experience I had. Even now I still worry about that poor bastard, and hope that his spirit is now part of the universe, or watching over his friends in the afterlife.

TLDR, as someone who's checked out Bionicle for almost two years, Herora's right.

So I’ve been getting back into Bionicle lately, I loved it as a kid and I’m on a whole nostalgia trip right now, rebuilding my Toa and Bohrok and rereading the comics/watching the movies, and as much as I still love it, it makes me sad for anyone who didn’t get to experience it as it was coming out.

Like take the MCU, for example. If you weren’t old enough to start watching the MCU before the first Avengers came out, you could still experience the MCU in its golden times. And if you have young kids, who are just getting to the age, where they can start the MCU, they can still kind of experience that by watching the movies in order and building up to Endgame. It obviously won’t be the same, but I feel like if you do it the right way and paste it right, you can kind of re-create that experience in a reasonable proximity.

The same goes for Star Wars, you can have your kids, watch the original trilogy, then show them trailers for each of the prequels before letting them watch those to get them. Excited, then let them go back and watch clone wars and rebels, and let them read the expanded universe books at their own pace. It won’t be the same as growing up with the prequels coming out and being excited to see new Star Wars movies after seeing the original trilogy when you were little, but it’s still a fairly decent facsimile.

But with Bionicle, that feeling cannot possibly be re-created.

You can’t recreate the feeling of being 11 years old and finding out that Mata Nui is dying, and that the Toa Nuva, your traditional heroes, were defeated by the new villains, and that the six Matoran you grew up with since the franchise started are the new Toa who have to pick up where the Nuva left off.

You can’t recreate the shock of finding out that the eccentric village elders who have advised your heroes for three years were once Matoran themselves who became a team of Toa a thousand years earlier, defeated the main antagonist, went through a Jekyll and Hyde mutant phase, and then turned into the Yoda type elders.

You can’t recreate the horror at finding out that Makuta won in the end, his convoluted, millennia long plot resulting in himself gaining control of the universe. You can’t recreate the disbelief that the story abandoned the Matoran on that dark note to explore an entirely new planet with entirely different characters, species, and culture. You can’t recreate the relief when Mata Nui showed up, his presence, carrying the promise that the original storyline would tie into the new one sooner later, and the grim ending was only a temporary pause. You cannot re-create the excitement at seeing the story climax with the final showdown between Mata Nui and Makuta. A final battle that you had never imagined possible, but one that only feels right and full circle.

You cannot re-create the horror and sorrow when Matoro failed to reach Mata Nui with the Mask of Life in time to save him. You can’t re-create the disbelief and terror at wondering where the story can possibly go after that point. You can’t re-create the disbelief and sorrow and morning as you read the pages of that comic, as you see Matoro put on the mask and start to become part of its energy. You can’t re-create the stunned, heartbreaking silence that you felt as the death of Matoro, who you would known for six years, who you had at least peripherally grown up with, whose journey you had watched unfold as he went from a simple but well-known and even iconic Matoran, to a new Toa of Ice, unfolded on the pages of that comic in that curious new art style that you would never quite gotten used to. You can’t recreate the feeling of mourning you share with his friends as they learn that Matoro has died, that feeling of almost being part of this universe as you share in the sorrow of the characters (Matoro’s sacrifice was way better than Tony Stark’s, sorry but not sorry).

And above all, you can’t re-create the feeling of having to wait two months for the next comic or the next book, or the movie to find out what happens next, and filling that time by making up your own storyline, and acting it out with your own toys.

Largely because the story unfolded through books and comics, and through the new wave of toys, and through the movies in some years, trying to re-create, even a close facsimile of that feeling just isn’t possible. And it breaks my heart for any kids I might have one day that I’ll never truly get to share this wonderful franchise with them.

Bionicle Question

Hey is it a misconception when someone thinks the 16 elements represent the 16 personality types, and that those who subvert said steryotypes like Tamaru and Krakua are mentally different/disabled?

Thoughts

I've been thinking about the ending of 9… and how nobody cared about how their souls were forcefully used to bring back the earth without their knowledge. It's days like these that I think about Matoro. I do not like taking hope or comfort in Matoro's death… in any way. It makes me sick.

Did 9 See What Was in the Rain?

Hey, another question... did 9 ever actually happen to see what was in the rain at the end?

Hey... to any 9 fans out there, do you think the ending of 9 was rushed? Did anything about feel distant or cold? And if so, how and why?

Bionicle is secretly existential horror.

Bionicle is a reverse-Pinocchio story, in that it's about an entire species of artificial beings who are sentient, but one of their creators (who is also the being that gave them said sentience in the first place) wants to reverse that.
