wow girl your aura is so powerful and intimidating
I'm not sure how to do it organically (hehe joke) but i think if this hypothetical Bionicle team could just spend a bunch of time camping on a beach and having to do arts and crafts or concept art using very basic/ancient techniques. How would a robot on a beach build shelter? Gather supplies? Defend itself? I get where you're coming from and I think a good way to accomplish that would be deconstructing (hehehe) our idea of Pacific islanders in general.
im avoiding homework by thinking about bionicle but i really think a retelling of 2001 needs to drop maori and indigenous polynesian imagery/language as much as possible.
not entirely (obviously the names of characters and toa are kinda permanent, as well as the name "mata nui") but anything that rips off the culture needs to go. mostly.
it would be cool if bionicle was able to pull off a respectful representation of the culture but i think all good will has been shattered due to what lego pulled in 2001 and maybe just focus on heroes saving villagers, robots fighting robots and uncovering cool mysteries at this point
"but bionicle's roots are intertwined with polynesian culture!" ok? and they fucked that up hardcore decades years ago. it's soured forever. focus on the other cool parts about bionicle.
robots in wilderness will always be cool. you can throw a hint of polynesian culture in there but it sure as hell better be respectful
Found this beauty in my latest bonkle haul, wings are still in great condition. Figured I'd put in on display for my bug collection
Having a billion dollars is just... Unimaginable. Like, I could, immediately, buy my dream 2 story lake house, a car, furniture for the house and moving fees, driving lessons, therapy for a year, medication, all the food I need to fill my cabinets, and then I'm left with what, still roughly a billion dollars??? Like does money mean anything at that point??? Then I guess I can go on a more aggressive spending spree...
So that's a food truck, paying for the wages of workers, the rights for my food, business paperwork... Okay I just started a small business. Fuck that's only getting me more money, and I still haven't made a dent. Um uhh I buy a boat, a small one because I just need it for my backyard lake. Alright okay. Umm how about a cat patio? Alright that costs literally nothing now what. Make my house fully wheelchair accessible. Pennies in comparison to what I have.
I need to go bigger this is ridiculous.
A local homeless shelter with free and comfortable rooms, clean water, mental health programs and attached free-access food bank? Okay cool that actually made a dent how many more of these can I make.. Holy shit how many?? I can scatter these to cities with major poverty levels and not break a sweat. I've made a minor dent in my single billion dollars and the cool 2 million I put in the bank has an interest rate that can keep me alive for a lifetime so I can literally drain my billion dollars all I want.
Several food locations based on the food truck I made a few weeks ago. Still have money. Filling those food banks I funded to the brim, still have money. Get married. Still have money. Take a honeymoon to Denmark to see the lego museum. Still have money. Get bottom surgery. Still have money. Give a cool million dollars to each of my close friends and family. I still have money. Find clean water and food solutions for impoverished countries? I probably still have money. I've paid all of this in cash and up front. I literally don't understand.
I have no instinct to keep a billion dollars, let alone 44 billion or 100 billion. I don't comprehend why you want to save it up. You can literally live a beautiful, loving and perfect life for a drop of it, and save billions of people with the rest. Live your dreams, conquer your hindrances, help everyone you know. I literally can't understand saving it. Especially when you've created a successful company and *you're just getting more.*
People who have this much money, and don't do any of this with it, are absolutely without a doubt evil. Billionaires are not your friend, and I have no idea why you'd think otherwise unless they're legitimately, tangibly helping people as fast as possible with as much money as possible.
My partner had a vision, so I gave it life... help...
