@siren-darkocean

You're in luck you kinda got both. Maybe they should take their training somewhere more private next time

mildly insane inventor who keeps making crimes against humanity on accident

former mad scientist assistant (bat-shaped)

After years I finally could understand that those words are not random. Well, a few of them.

"Universal" = Universal Studios (The studio that made this movie or maybe another meaning)

"Bara Magna" = the planet where the role happens.

"Lego" = Pretty obvious. No explanation needed.

"Mata Nui" = The Great Spirit (Dude in yellow)

"2009" = Year the movie was released

When talking about the Bionicle books with fans, Greg Farshtey (the real world author) would sometimes take a page from J.R.R. Tolkien and say that the stories were actually texts from the Bionicle universe that he "translated" into English. Which got me thinking, if these were stories that were written in the Bionicle universe, who wrote them?

And I thought the cutest answer would be, it was the Chroniclers who wrote them! And the more I thought about it, the more I realized this theory works surprisingly well! There were 3 main Chroniclers (Takua, Hahli, and Kopeke) corresponding to the 3 series of Bionicle books (Chronicles, Adventures, and Legends)

Takua was Cathy Hapka, and the primary author of the Chronicles series, relating the adventures of the Toa Mata to the island of Mata Nui. In some cases it was implied that he was either there in background of the events, or simply heard of them from the Toa themselves during his many conversations with them. The exception was Tales of the Masks, written by Greg Farshtey Hahli. The Tales are included in the Chronicles as they take place during that time, though as they are the story of how the Turaga decided to reveal Metru Nui just before the Kohlii Tournament, they were only revealed and published after Takua ascended to the ranks of Toa, and are the first events she recorded. Mask of Light was also written by Takanuva as a final chronicle relating his own journey to find the Seventh Toa. It is often grouped with the Chronicles, though as he was no longer officially the Chronicler, it is sometimes considered separately.

Next is the Adventures, written by Hahli, translated by Greg Farshtey. You can really see the distinct writing styles between Hahli and Takua emerge here. She recorded the Adventures as she was canonically there for almost all of the Turaga's council sessions where they told the Toa Nuva.

The Legends series was written by Kopeke, who became Chronicler after it was discovered Hahli had also been transformed into a Toa. Kopeke learned of many of the events that took place second hand from Hahli, who canonically told him of the events in the Pit, and probably told him of the adventures on Voya Nui. Having been given his stories from the previous Chronicler, Kopeke's writing style is noted fro being highly similar Hahli's both written by Greg Farshtey. Kopeke also later learned of the events in Karda Nui when the Toa Nuva returned home. Much of these Legends had to be written in secret during the Reign of Shadows, as a hope to keep the stories of the Toa heroes alive during the dark times.

But then of course there are the Bara Magna books, and I believe these were recorded by Berix, who took on the role of Chronicler in Mata Nui's band of Glatorian in their adventures. After the Reformation, he worked closely with Kopeke to recount the events of the Battle of Bara Magna, leading to his style being heavily influenced by Kopeke's and Hahli's Farshtey styles.

Prompt Prompt 5 of 31

Prompt - Early Morning Walks

Fandom - G1 Bionicle (Mata Kids AU)

Ship - None, all Platonic Found Siblings Babyyy

Characters - Kopaka & Berix

Archive Warnings - None

Rating - Teen and Up

Extra - The most random close siblings idea I had but I love it, Berix's trauma results in higher senses than most water tribe members, found family fluff, eppy Berix just wants to join his big brother on patrol

“You did not have to join me on this patrol if you were going to be nearly asleep through most of it.” Kopaka told him breaking their silence. Berix rubbed his eyes, “But I wanted to, so you have backup in case something bad happened in one of these one day.” He whined out, a yawn escaping his mouth near the end of his sentence showing rows of sharklike teeth a common trait amongst the water tribe.

Kopaka shook his head in amusement at that as he continued walking down the sidewalks of the street with Berix trying to stay awake on his back.

In the wee hours before early morning just before sunrise a Toa of ice patrols New Atero's streets as a long old habit he had with his old village on the island, and joining alongside his usual patrol is a tired halfie Glatorian Agori child that is his adopted sibling

I published this either day before yesterday or before that and forgot to share it here

I'm still working on prompt six, motivation while the upcoming Trunk or Treat this Saturday and ofc with it trying to get everything ready as well

So apologies I'm behind and trying my best here to get them done

I may try to finish up 2024's Flufftober prompts because I was eleven off from being done on that so I need to finish that anyways

I don't really ship bionicle characters that much (Hewkii & Macku being one of my few exceptions)

But.

I think the idea of Kiina and Mata Nui is hilarious. I don't really even ship them romantically, I just chuckle at the thought of this eccentric glatorian putting the moves on someone who's essentially God.

Kiina constantly dropping the worst pick up lines and innuendos, and every single one just flying right over Mata Nui's head.

Meanwhile, Gresh is absolutely dying of laughter, Berix is mortified, and Ackar is just stonefaced and refuses to explain any of it. "Oh Mata Nui, you sweet summer child."

Of course, after the reformation, you can imagine the psychic damage the toa get from finding out their Glatorian coworker made a pass at god.
