Because I couldn't stop thinking about this idea, have a silly fantasy AU! A certain elf is NOT enjoying his first time in the dungeon...

Hello, my name is Yukiko and I used to have a fictional crush on Nuju as a child so of course I had to doodle a Bonkle as a hot human 😳

I finally drew the Toa Nuva as magical girls, as promised! I'm really happy with some of them. Some of them were easy to figure out and others were a struggle (Pohatu I'm looking at you lmao). Like I've said these aren't going to be in the Bionicle Sports Anime proper but I just like drawing cute dresses so here we are lol. Most poses are referenced from @adorkastock except Kopaka's and Onua's.

Design notes under the cut!
I really wanted to commit to everyone having skirts or dresses, but for Lewa I figured maybe it was better to give him shorts so he's not flashing everyone while soaring through the treetops lol. Which is too bad because he would rock a skirt. JUST HIM THOUGH everyone else MUST wear a dress. This is not optional (I also wanted to avoid making anyone look embarrassed or upset to avoid the "haha man in skirt uncomfortable with it" thing because. Yeah)
This is also our first time seeing everyone next to each other with relative heights! Tahu, Kopaka, and Gali are all approximately the same height, Onua is a short king, and Pohatu and Lewa are the tallest. I base human Bionicle heights on vibes almost exclusively.
I didn't set out to give everyone white gloves and shoes, it just sort of happened. Initially no one was going to have white in their outfit except Kopaka, but it's a good neutral colour if used sparingly that helps break up some of the otherwise very monochromatic look I've given them. I also gave Pohatu a couple of orange accents because I felt like it :P
Each of them has their Nuva symbol in a different place on their outfit, like Tahu's boots and Lewa's earrings. I meant to give them each their elemental symbol as well, but the only ones who wound up with it anywhere are Tahu (chest and hair clip) and Onua (gloves and boots).
One of the hardest things for me when designing magical girls is shoes. Shoes are hard in general because I never think about them ever, but especially magical girl shoes. Gali's are based on one of Lagoona's sets from Monster High, and Pohatu's are inspired by the shoes and socks in Idol x Heroine Miracle Tunes. The other thing I have a hard time with is hairstyles and I just kept them the same for this lmao I really didn't want to make magical girl versions of all these hairstyles. In hindsight I do wish I'd put some braids or beads or something into Onua's beard.
I figure they all have their own callout when they transform, like at the end of his sequence Tahu would say something like "the raging flames of the inferno! Toa Tahu!" and Kopaka says like "the silent fury of the blizzard...Toa Kopaka." or some shit lol. And then once they've all transformed and said their piece they pose and go "Unity! Duty! Destiny! We are the Toa Nuva!" idk maybe it's the PreCure talking lol but yeah I do love a team callout

… I had this whole neat little blurb written, and then tumblr refused to upload this page to y’all. Anyway. I’ll go back and edit the buttons in a bit because I’m not at my computer to edit things…
See, even though I know what is going to happen next, it is still sad to see it unfold haha I don’t enjoy breaking characters like this, contrary to popular belief. Poor poor Lewa. Anyway! I’ll (hopefully) see ya’ll in a week for the next page! I have some crazy big assignments due over the next two weeks, and then things slow down a little.

More Bionicle SCP AU Ideas
Now with added angst! For simplicity, I will not be using their assigned numbers in this post. Also the [REDACTED]s are not all censoring the same event, time period, or person. Thanks again to @bionicle-ramblings for this AU.
Keetongu is an anomaly resembling a mushroom/Sasquatch hybrid, who used to wander around healing the sick prior to his capture.
Onewa and Vakama get along much better in this AU than they do in canon at the start, because Onewa can actually understand Vakama’s feelings of stress and resentment from being treated like less for something he can’t control, plus he can appreciate a fellow artist. Onewa isn’t all sunshine and daisies with him, but Whenua gets much more of his ire than Vakama does. He and Vakama actually balance each other out a bit, as Vakama felt guilt for things he shouldn’t, while Onewa didn’t feel much guilt at all for some things that he actually should.
Onewa was able to hide the early signs of his rocky skin patches as being a form of ichthyosis (a skin condition that resembles scales, depending on the type), at least until he developed his telepathy skills and the patches became more obvious.
Nuju is actually related to Agent [REDACTED], but did not find this out until after the [REDACTED] event, during a conversation in the [REDACTED] period. The agent in question was also unaware, as Nuju had been thought dead by the family and was thus rarely or never mentioned out of grief.
Nuju’s first vision was his sister being severely injured while she tried to protect him from being taken into custody by SCP Agents after he came to visit her and her young child (whom he hadn’t gotten to meet yet) upon returning from his mountain climbing trip. He stayed away to protect her, and chose to let her think that he had died in a mountain climbing accident. His last vision as a free man was the agents coming for him and Nokama.
Takua’s crystal form (Takanuva) is actually incredibly heat resistant. It is also incredibly hard to damage in other ways. Any scars that do form on it resemble rainbows or opal-like streaks. After the [REDACTED] event, he has several of these scars.
Vakama receives his first real hug in years whilst in custody from either Takanuva or Nuju.
Sidorak has a fondness for exactly two (2) anomalies.

A self-indulgent idea for a human Bionicle AU:
Vakama: I used to have a crush on Onewa at the beginning, unfortunately.
Vakama: Then he opened his mouth. My crush was gone after the third time because he was so insufferable and an asshole.
Onewa: Hey.
Vakama: Am I wrong?
Onewa:
Vakama:
Onewa:
Vakama: That's what I thought.

Vakama in “Then the lizard takes another”
[ID: human!Vakama, an older man with long hair and a long braided beard, sits on a bench in front of a fire pit, elbows resting on his knees, one hand resting on the opposite wrist, gazing into the flames. The picture is rendered in browns, greens, and orange. End ID.]
I debated for a while about how to draw him but I'm happy with how he came out :) if it feels like there's less of the light greens it's because I used them in the fire effect lol
(Colour palette: "then the lizard takes another" from @color-palettes)

So I made this some time after I made that one art of Ackar and Mata Nui post here
Ofc I had to make an art of my favorite Glatorian the second Glatorian of Tajun Kiina!
I decided to do one of my signature sleeping art I do with my headcanons for Kiina (ie, the necklace, tattoos, hair especially the braids and biomechanical parts)
I wanted to have her tattoos symbolize in a way in things that are important to her, the green butterfly for her closest friend Gresh, the Bara Magna symbol for her loyalty to her Glatorian role, the infinity symbol is not much thought of honestly, the one on her shoulder is actually something I don't even know (I tried to get closer looks but I still don't know) and ofc the Three Virtues because after seeing it in the hidden caverns she feels it's super important in a way she gets it tattooed on her)
Her biomechanical parts I had an idea of them that their added to boost certain things of a person but also have their downsides, Kiina had her surgically given to her a few days after being taken under the care of her grandparents as a kid and she's grown used to the sudden shift of metal and flesh from them, her hands help her have stronger grips and harder punches, her knees and thighs for better speed, her elbows for better arm throws and her abdomen area for better stamina but unfortunately due to the placement it gives her fertility issues
Her necklace is a reference straight from the 1997 Fox film Anastasia of Anastasia/Anya's necklace and music box from her grandmother Marie, Kiina's comes from her parents and the music box as a minutes figurines of the Lord of Water inside it, unfortunately for a good chunk of time the music box is still in her old village until she and Gresh finally go to get it
As for Kiina's hair, the braids are for when she wins a Glatorian battle for Tajun, an extra one is in the midst from Gresh from a half victory he deems for Kiina for almost beating a Skrall in the arena (before they cheated and broke her ribs by firing a Thornoraxx at her which bit her chest, which was how her biomechanical upgrades were discovered), the blue highlights are completely natural though and it's still unknown where they come from (but for me I'm still trying to decide for it)

The KNPS Toa/Turaga Metru from @magicalgirlmascot's Kini Nui Public School fic
On the left is how they looked as Toa circa 2004, on the right are the Metru as Turaga in late 2024. In descending order: Vakama, Nokama, Onewa, Matau, Whenua, Nuju
The challenge with an AU like this is having to humanize the Great and Noble forms of the masks in a way that still looks like the same person 20 years apart. As well as being a modern AU with no facial markings, cybernetics or weird accessories to clearly mark who's who, so the characters have to inherently be a bit Just Some Guy looking at first glance. Anyway, there's a lot of little details that link to their canon masks and aspects of the story, so I'll be curious to see which ones people pick up on.

I wanted to give another shot at my humanized Gali Mata design. I think I'll try to make a merging of the two designs in the future, but I really like the second shot I gave Gali here! Here's the previous design if you need something to compare with. (Putting it under the keep reading cause the picture makes the post longer :P)
Alrighty, hope you guys like it!

Based on this post from @crystaltoa, because oh my god. Nuju you bitch. How often do you think Matoro has to pull the "his language has become too difficult for me to understand" bit. My guess is once a day at least

So if you are a subscriber on my ko-fi you could read the entire chapter sketches... but you'd notice that this bottom panel is very different from what was initially planned! Idk I thought that this looked better than what was there initially.
Also, these backgrounds... may not be like, super detailed, but trying to figure out how I wanted them to look was a challenge. Artistically, I just wasn't sure how to do it lol
