BIONICLE 24/7

When I was a kid, I wanted adventure. I wanted action. I wanted fun. And when Bionicle first came out, I was excited to receive all these things and more from an excellent franchise. One of the things that stood out about Bionicle, however, was its lack of romance.

As a kid, I absolutely hated mushy lovey-dovey stuff (and let's be honest; I still do). So for me, romance not being canon in Bionicle was like a breath of fresh air. Ask yourself, dear reader, how many stories do you know where romance is not only avoided, but nonexistent within the entire universe in which it takes place? I don't know about you, but I personally think Bionicle should be applauded for making such a bold choice in making romance non-canon. If you're upset about the lack of romance, why not celebrate it instead? It's a unique part of an incredible story.

So many people want pairings of all kinds. And there is a time and a place for that sort of thing, like fanfictions and headcanons (as much as I may disagree with their relevance from time to time).
