Shout out to Stuart Sayger for never drawing the mouth on Hahli Inika's mask literally one single time. Could've just been shorthand, but it's so consistent I could definitely see it being intentional.

This like instantly fixes her mask for me without actually redesigning it.

...this is basically her canon look in my head.

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.

i’m having a stroke

Posted this a few days ago but it's on YouTube now: John Oliver goes into detail for half an hour on Project 2025 and how abhorrent and destructive to American democracy and government it will be. Please give it a watch. It's worth your time to get informed.

This is a 5 alarm fire for democracy and preserving it. They learned from the first term and want to wreck everything right out of the gate this time. It's imperative we stop Trump.

On the LEGO Group issuing a C&D to Team Kanoho, it's worse than Nintendo, like, hitting yet another fangame with the banhammer, or whatever, right? To me. Because Nintendo has active IPs, with active fans, and are actively releasing product for people to buy. Unlike Pokémon, Bionicle is just dead. Fan projects like this are the only way to keep it alive and if people can't make them, that's it. And just like when Nintendo does it, this now sets a predecent going forward: This Could Happen To You. This is going to kill a lot of hope people might have in the future of Bionicle.

also did a mouth opening variant

Kinda sus that not long after meeting JD Vance (a catholic) the pope dies, not long after Trump said Vance wouldn't be a good president (I think he's shooting for a new career)
