Y'all, I Tell You, I Almost Passed Out When I Clicked The Notification And Read The Post. I Feel Honoured

Y'all, I tell you, I almost passed out when I clicked the notification and read the post. I feel honoured that the chaos my mind creates could inspire someone so much as to make them create a whole AU

This is brilliant, magnificent and other synonyms. I love it. I'm making fanart of her as soon as I'm out of the spiral, that is, trying to pass all my university exams. Words can't describe the feels I'm feeling right now. This is amazing, wow.

I also love the story for this character. I would read the whole thing if it was an actual-written story, probably in one day, forgetting that I even exist.

Your art is amazing by the way! <3

Okay, so I got inspired by this post by @skylinx2o some time ago, and wound up spiraling into making a whole OC and AU out of it. Close ups of the different drawings and their explanations (numbered in chronological order) are below the cut:

This is Cassidy/Arra/Artara. She is our unlucky isekai protagonist. She was just kind of a regular lore fiend with little going on in life before getting ganked by some unknown force and turned into something cat-adjacent. At least, whatever passes for a cat on Spherus Magna; cats don't have metal bones, teeth, and claws.

She's got the Hordika brain problem, hence a lot of the catlike mannerisms. Very helpful when it comes to survival and flying under the Makuta's radar, but also really embarrassing.

#1 is our focal character, freshly fished out of Aqua Magna by Gali during one of her routine swims around Mata Nui.

This is the face of someone who has not only been thrust into an alien world out of nowhere, but got turned into some kind of beast in the process.

The Ga-Matoran presume her to be just another weird Rahi, and let her bum around the village for a while as she recovers. If there is any advantage to be had as a cat, it was that Matoran have little desensitization to fluffy things, so weaseling a free fish or two was pretty easy.

#2 features Arra catching her lucky break, moving to Ko-koro to live with Matoro.

Her attempts at learning the local language lead her to repeat words and phrases she hears from the Matoran. Tagging along for the Kolhii tournament, she repeats Takua's name following Jaller, and Takua delightedly named her "Arra," meaning "echo."

They wind up dropping her off at Ko-koro during the search for the Toa of Light, as they figured things would be a little too dangerous for a soft little Rahi like herself to tag along any further. Matoro takes her in as a companion, figuring that a warm fluffy Rahi like herself would be good for Nuju's sleep troubles.

He winds up taking her with him to Ko-metru following the migration back into the GSR, and they live happily together for many months, up until he gets a visit from Jaller and she realizes what comes next. She tries to warn him about Voya Nui, but learning how to put together a full sentence from just a few months of observation is beyond difficult, and he simply promises to bring back some dried fish when he returns, leaving her in the care of Nuju.

She would never see her friend again.

#3 shows Arra's less than eager reaction to being approached by the Order of Mata Nui. After a struggle, she is locked in a basket and brought to Daxia by force.

The Order has eyes everywhere, and a future-predicting Rahi just running around would screw up a lot of their plans, so Helryx ordered her capture.

Like, Arra understands the motivations, but at first she thought she was getting kidnapped by the Dark Hunters. It's at this point she learns her claws are properly metallic, scratching the shit out of her captor.

#4 shows Arra with Helryx. Upon being kidnapped by the Order for future prediction crimes, Arra's presented a choice: either join the Order as an informant, or be its prisoner. She picks the former.

Helryx commissions a translation collar from Artahka to allow for ease of communication, after realizing that the critter barely speaks any Matoran. Once that's squared away, Arra tells her everything. I do mean everything.

This information goes forward to prevent a lot of unnecessary deaths over the course of the story, and prepare the Order for the epic shitshow destined to take place later on. In the mean time, though, Arra winds up getting a little side job as Daxia's resident therapy cat. They need a lot of therapy.

Arra's particularly fond of Axonn as a perch, but Helryx herself tolerates Arra's shenanigans during meetings.

#5 is Artara enjoying head pats from Lewa.

Might've mixed up the timeline a little, but then again, he'd probably pat her with or without the collar. He seems like the kind of person who'd gush over a "tiny Muaka."

This sketch was originally Axonn's hand, but I realized his hand would be way bigger relative to her body, so I modified it to look more normal. Axonn could probably hold her like a baseball.

Artara's the nickname she gets during more "formal" occasions, when acting as an agent of the Order of Mata Nui (albeit mostly as an advisor). Up until the epic giant robot showdown, she's working with Helryx and the others to minimize the casualties when Makuta ultimately falls.

After that... well, Helryx starts giving her a little more freedom. Artara's told her already that her knowledge cuts off after a certain point, and with the Order's psychic protection training she's far less vulnerable to mental incursion than would be a serious risk.

Arra only really asks for one thing once things have settled down some: to see the Mask of Life. "Not to touch it, obviously, I don't want to get cursed."

#6 showcases Artara's Agori form, attained after the Order of Mata Nui retrieves the Mask of Life and allows her to see it.

Originally, she went in with the intention of saying her goodbyes to Matoro, seeing the Mask as his grave in an odd sense. But as she rambles mournfully, she expresses frustration at her situation. She has lost her ability to communicate without an aid that can be taken away at the will of its donor, she can't even hold a stylus for herself, and worst yet she can't even cry for her friend.

It's at that moment Mata Nui decides to remind everyone that he can still hear them, and temporarily reforms to have a chat.

As it turns out, the Mask of Life was what turned her into a lybik (the Spherus Magnan cat species), during its escapades clinging to the back of Vezon's head. An unexpected portal, probably having something to do with Brutaka's broken Olmak, spat out a being very high in the air that the Mask knew would not survive the fall. So, it turned the being into something that would survive. Only, it got sidetracked looking for a new host, getting chased by the Piraka, Teridax's scheming, and all that other stuff, so it never had the chance to follow up with the mysterious outlier.

Until now.

Mata Nui admits he cannot send her home, and it'd be a bad idea to turn her back into a human. From what he can tell using the Ignika's power, her old form would likely collapse into a broken mess due to the planet's higher gravity. But, he points out, he can give her something that works just as well, and brings her up to touch the mask...

And as the light fades, she realizes she has hands again. And starts bawling like a baby.

Beyond the story bits, she now has shapeshifting powers. They are limited to mostly organic beings (so, she can't pretend to be a Toa), as her original form and her cat form were organic in nature, but she's just glad she has hands again. She can partially transform to do things like grow claws, speak more clearly as a beast, or in most cases just forget to put her tail away in Agori form.

#7 shows Artara trying to socialize with local Agori, this time with Kirbold. They... don't really know what to make of her.

In general, Agori tend to be at least a little xenophobic by default, and an interdimensional alien that knows the future is kind of a lot to deal with, even beyond the shapeshifting and slightly immodest dress.

While I imagine hissing and growling are probably things Agori and Glatorian can do naturally, based on the vocalizations of the Vorox and Zesk, it's considered extremely rude. She does it all the time out of habit.

I haven't figured out what she does after this point. She just kinda hangs out with her old Matoran Universe buddies most of the time and confuses the shit out of any poor Spherus Magnan she runs into. Maybe she lends a helping hand to the Sisters of the Skrall and throws a monkey wrench into Velika's plans, but otherwise I'm open to ideas.

I was about to buy some games, since there's a spring sale, but then I remembered that around a year ago I promised myself to never buy a game if I can get it for free, and so I didn't. We don't buy games here, we pirate them like real men (or wait till it's free, because free is a fair price).

Eyo, listen! So... I often create fake scenarios in my head. And the one I like the most is ''a human gets teleported to a different world (often from some series), what do they do?'' And like, there are millions of variations of this scenario. And I do this with Bionicle too. I have a version where a human just wakes up in Bionicle world totally unchanged, a version where they are reincarnated as a Glatorian or a Toa, or even Matoran or Agori... In some versions they understand language spoken, but the versions where they don't get really interesting lol But in all those scenarios the human keeps all the knowledge about Bionicle that they remembered from our world.

(Wow, the amount of fanfiction I could have written basing them on this concept alone is astronomical)

And recently, I found a new scenario to run. What if you were reincarnated into Bionicle world... As a Rahi! While a humanoid has pretty clear options: stay hidden, don't interfere, just live your life until someone reads your mind and finds out all the knowledge you possess about our world and Bionicle history, or actively try to change things with either keeping the knowledge to yourself (until someone reads your mind, this is pretty inevitable at some point) or telling everyone the truth. Unless you just wake up as a normal human there. Then you have a lot of explaining to do either way.

But as a Rahi? What would you do? Only a certain few could understand you, and even then, would they believe an animal? What could you even change? There are very intelligent Rahi like Keetongu, but I would imagine a human would be reincarnated as some wolf or cat Rahi in this scenario, and not a legendary being.

Normally I don't talk about the scenarios I create in my head, but I'm really curious, what would you do if you suddenly woke up in Bionicle world, with all the knowledge you possess about it, but as a Rahi?

(By the way: I wrote it at 1AM, so if what I wrote sounds weird [or like I'm a lunatic lol] that's why. In the morning I would have only check the grammar mistakes and sent it as it is Xd)

I was dead for about two months now, but I’m back, and I have brought the promised Bionicleified Hatsune Miku!!! :D

It’s just how I imagined her, you’re free to dislike the design lol

But now, let me explain the concept for her. In my opinion, she would be a Toa of sonics. I know that all Toa, Turaga and Matoran of sonics are male, but she’s still a girl. She would be alive like 1000 years after the reformation of Bara Magna. The machine that makes Matoran could have had the restrictions turned off by then.

Her hair isn’t real. It’s magnetic, so you can just snatch them off of her hair. When I think about it, most cosplay wigs for Miku has detachable ponytails lol (Also, they were inspired by Rodaka’s hair. I imagine she looked at some Vortixx and was like: This! I want whatever they have on the back of their heads! LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! ) Her hands have this armor thingy to emulate how her sleeves work. Legs and hands are also black to look similar to her outfit.

Toa of sonics are gray. Like, just different shades of gray. Also, they mostly have yellow eyes. But I still wanted to keep some of her original colors. So she just has some rare pink eyes, and the splashes of blue are just paint. The paint still kinda works in world, since blue is kinda a feminine color, and it probably helps her not to get misgendered haha

Oh, and I almost forgot. I wrote her number 01 in Matoran alphabet on her arm. I imagine she wrote it herself to be like: Yes, I am number one Toa of sonics lol

I choose Kanohi Calix for her, since in many music videos Hatsune Miku often dances, so I thought it would fit her, and help her pull off those perfect dance moves!

As a Toa, I imagine she would travel a lot, and help those in need along the way, and when she stops in some town or city she would sing for everyone...

I think that’s all! Hope you like her design! :)

✨🍈Melon Boy🍈✨

Here's my new OC! He was commissioned from and designed by @theghostshost The art on the third picture was also made by her <3

Alright, so a little sneak peek at his story: Mel used to be a regular old monkey, living on the Flower Fruit Mountain. That is, until one day he ate a magic melon fruit. He was instantly transformed into a monkey demon after consuming it. After some adjusting to his new form, Mel was assigned by Wukong to supervise MK as he learns to control his powers. Wukong partially genuinely thought that now that he's more human like, he could use spending more time with humans, but he also didn't really know what else to do with him :/ I mean, he has MK to worry about already, and what was he supposed to do when one of his monkey subjects suddenly turned into a demon? Xdd

Anyway, I want to make a comic about his adventures. We'll see how it will go :)

Also, there's this weird file that keeps attaching itself to my post, and I can't delete it.... It's only static, but I can't delete it. ... 🤔 Oh well, it's probably fine....
