So Basically For This Spell To Work We Have To Get Naked And Rub Our Dicks Together. Yeah For Mana. So

For people who may not know; Florida plants are very oily, and catch fire easily. The foliage is also very dense, a lot of plants trying to choke each other out for a chance at sunlight and other resources. The ground is mostly sand and doesn't hold nutrients very well. Wildfires are a part of the ecological cycle, the ash rejuvenating the ground and allowing plants to grow.

When the Everglades became a national park, Florida started putting out fires before they spread too far.

Throughout the 1900s, one man took a boat out to the swamp and started setting fire to the everglades. He was a wanted arsonist.

Back in 2015, about 20 years after he died, Florida regarded him as a dedicated naturalist. The national park service now does controlled burns of the everglades to maintain its natural cycle.

That man was my great grandfather. A man i think of a lot recently, and how yesterday's criminals are tomorrow's heroes, and that not everything that's right is legal, and not everything legal is right.

@lemonylepid

tweaked my rahkshi model to recreate a moc i made for my partner, which i'll post a side-by-side soon

Some dark variants based on a black light pic, figured they glow cuz they’re an av-matoran

A little theory that I wanna share here: the matoran of light and shadow we got in Phantoka/Mistika years have the wrong color scheme.

'What do you mean, you crazy person?'

I'm glad you asked.

Takua was the only Av-matoran we knew of (even before they had a name) and his color was very much an outlier amongst the Ta-matoran, red and blue (and yellow) in a sea of reds, yellows and orange.

You know what has ties to the light matoran and a blue and red color scheme? Bohrok. A blue kraana inside of a red and orange shell. I don't know if that was intentional or just a design choice, but that got me thinking...

Theory: the matoran of light had similar color schemes to matoran of other elements, with a contrasting colored mask.

But how could this be a theory if I could only draw on one example? So I searched the other matoran of light sets. Blue and black, red and black, Grey and black, green and gray, orange and gray, white and gray. No, no, no, no, no, no. There had to be at least one other matoran to boost the believability of my theory...

Then it hit me. Vican. Black and like green. Just like his supposed Bohrok counterpart.

Of course the lime green wasn't exclusively on his mask but it was something!

Not only that, but when you think about it, Vican could easily have been one of the first shadow matoran, and was definitely the first to start reversing the corruption. So, his color, his light, was returning.

In summary, the matoran of light should have different colored masks.

realized my first model was kind of a fustercluck (i definitely didnt accidentally delete it) and decided to give the Miru another go
