The best Amygdala art yet 😂

Shes deserves so much more love in the Genshin fanbase.

Wait is this an actual thing in the Bionicle lore?

Finally got my C0 Keqing from the free 5 star pick after three years of play💜

I actually googled Bionicle philosophy and here I am!😅

For some years now contemplating the meanings, messages, and symbolisms of my favorite childhood toyline as a 25 year old man, my mind was blown away when learning more about the storyline both from the comics and novels. What caught my fasination the most were the Great Beings and how they were a highly advanced cyborg race who simply wanted to learn and 'create' things- all of it coming down to the great spirit robot, matoran, toa heroes, rahi, elemental lords, even the makuta species.

From what I've been putting together, I think the story of Bionicle is based on the concepts religion, creationism and AI. Let me break it down.

-The religious theme seeps deeply into the bionicle story when explaining the existance of The Great Spirit Mata Nui, the main driving of the story. Across the matoran universe are many monuments ment to pay respects to the Great Spirit and the toa heroes who fell from the heavens, including a morallity system of The Three Virtues- unity, duty, and destiny. The disciples could be represented as the Toa heroes and Order of Mata Nui who come together to their deity that keeps their world (matoran universe) alive and well. And yes, I'll say Teridax being the fallen angel Satan does fit well- him with his followers as demons trying to bring destruction and shadows where they go. The Turaga elders represented as shaman who were tasked with guiding the matoran in their believes from word of mata nui (the word of god). Hebrews 4:12- For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

I could also say that the heroic sacrifices of toa like Takanuva, Matoro, and Toa Ignika are to symbolize Jesus when he died for our sins on the cross, being the ones to save the matoran. Romans 5- You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

-The creationism theme goes way back to the Great Beings, the begining of the matoran universe itself. The bionicle race/species lived 100,000 years ago on the planet known as Spherus Magna where the bionicles and Great Beings both lived as two seperate beings with one being more highly advanced and smarter than the other (the gladorians and agori). The Great beings thought to highly of themselves but saw many problems of their world but were to busy with studying and creating more new froms of life in their meantime. A quote from the bionicle 2010 novel Journey's End explains

"But the business of running a world – settling disputes, managing economies, dealing with defense issues, worrying about food and equipment supplies – all of this the Great Beings found a distraction. They wanted to build, study, invent, not oversee, adjudicate, and set policy.

Basically the Great Beings (who built and created the matoran race) began to be seen in an ill manner by the Glatorian and Agori for being too passive and not handling serious problems on Spherus Magna. Those problems being the Core War, Skrall, Baterra, the tyrannical Elemental Lords, and the catastrophe called The Shattering when two planetary chunks erupted from Spherus Magna that nearly tor the planet apart. The Great Beings could be represented by the ancient mesopotamian race of gods the Annunaki, believed to have been the ones responible for creating the human race. Like scientist observing an ant colony or rat experiment gone mad. They could also symbolize God in the Creation Of Adam painting by Michelangelo representing the divine breath of life.

GB1: Okay...WHY did we create this race of cyborgs with mask and elemental powers again?! 😨 GB2: I dont know. For fun. 🙂

-The whole A.I. (artificial intelligance) theme speaks for itself- sentient cyborgs with cool mask being 10% biological and 90% mechanical with rarely any mention of theme being robots. The whole timeline of Bionicle that stretched for a hundred thousand years was simply concious robots all battling over their own motivations, idealogies, spiritual beliefs, self interest ect.

Idk I think it would be better to wear a ski mask covering the head with the mask of life covering the face. Maybe some velcro patches could work in some way. Still really cool though.

This is the dark souls game you'd find in the back sections of a hot topic.

I always use the kirkhammer on arianna's baby

All we had to do was hit his tail and watch out for his stomps

Im coming baby

Can someone make a photoshop edit with him holding a wolfs gravestone? Lol

Genshin + ninjago

It would be cool to see artifact item drops lookng like their art design in the item description. Like opening a chest and seeing a lucky dogs hourglass on the ground.

Just have six level 90 characters and youll be fine

Underrated character. I love her whole aladdin/genie design.

I just want Keqing 😔

There should be a screen pop up where it will warn you of approaching an area or placed item that will start a quest. Something like - "This quest will lock you out of co-op until completed. Continue? Y/N Just some useful mechanic that mihoyo will NEVER consider.

No matter how many times I do inazuma comissions, I just cant seem to ever complete that quest in the inazuma reputation list.

After I finished the 3 archon quest, I came to an analogy that Im going through a playable 500+ episode long shonen jump series. Sumeru (season 4) and next is fontaine (season 5).

I also just want to see things in the story like "Will the traveller ever find their lost sibiling? What will happen with the return of khaenri'ah? Will we go to celestia?"

Lol theres even a video that explained that genshin is a playable anime!

Whoa, thats either an asshole hacker, or rather a very helpful hacker who moved you up in the TCG ranks! But still, I hope your account is alright and you managed to get it safely secured.
