Ok can we stop talking about the "gymbo inika were the reason love isn't canon"when there's stuff in the prototype plans that are far more insane and interesting including (but not limited to)

One of the earliest concepts for 06 was set in Mata nui where Toa nuva fought the morally gray Toa Rahna, who served as a more negative reflection of Toa. A major theme for this idea was exploring if toa could be evil.

While 08 always had bat themed villains, initially 08 was supposed to have army builder mooks instead of BoM Makuta. Also originally 08s villains were supposed to be Karda nui natives

That said, Makuta as a species and Brotherhood of Makuta were planned to by the story team as early as 2004, and were already considered to be the villains of 08. Though by this time only the titan sets.

There's at least two different concepts for aquatic villains that vastly differ from the Barraki. One of them were soldiers that were possibly army-builder villains, while the others were traders who weren't necessarily evil(?) Regardless both of them very were starkly different to the Barraki in canon, thoguh the soldier concept is far more align to with what we ended up getting.

The Piraka we know and love(?) seem to be a fusion of the two prototype concepts of 06 villains: A greedy brigand species who terrorize the locals called Hagalakh and the aforementioned Toa Rahna. The Piraka took the aesthetics/lore/culture of the Hagalakh and the "anti-toa team/ group of six individuals who served as evil disorted version of toa" concept from toa Rahna.

In the concept with the Hagalakh as 06's antagonists, their goal was to wake up Tren Krom who was supposed to be the final boss. Tren Krom in this version was supposed to be a dead giant whose corpse hosts a temple and the treasures the villains seek.

In some of the plans the hunt for mask of life started in 07, not 06. 06 instead had a different goal that depended on which version of the story plans wer'e talking about

Some plans had the toa Inika/Mahri be the main team for all three years, while some plans had the team change every year. The plan

Some of the plans indicate the "Matorans" were meant to be different species of beneveloent creatures, as they used different title than Matoran to describe them. These include the Rana and the Ihoian, though the Rana may have been Matoran

Lot of plans had the titan sets be either Rahi, or at least, other Rahi-like creatures and beasts. Many of 06 and 07s concepts had these beasts be protectors for sacred locations or the Mask of Life.

There were plans for character titans. One of the Haglak/TK concepts had the leader of Haglaks, Torak, while one of the prototype Barraki were meant to have their leader be a titan set

06 was designed a shakeup that would revitalized the brand by addressing major flaws the storyteam felt prevented new kids getting hooked. One of the bigger roadblocks was the lack of a main protagonist. This was corrected by introducing a new Matoran protagonist with a connection to Mask of Life who would act as the centerpiece of the Ignition trilogy and eventually become a Toa.

At the end of 06 the Toa of Fire (Jaller??) was supposed to die and be replaced by the aforementioned Matoran protagonist as the toa of fire

Mazeka was the name of a corridor in 06 plans

Takanuva was supposed to use Mask of Life at some point

Toa Mahri were called Toa Awkwa at one point

I want more WoLs on my dash. Reblog this with the oldest picture you have of your WoL/OC, and then the newest photo you have of them. Show off what changed! Did they change race? Gender? Hair color? Hair style? Tell me about it!

[george-rr-binks]

Discovered after the recording had concluded that my computer picked up audio from the wrong microphone the entire time. 10 minutes in feedback starts popping that not only never stops but also gets worse as the episode goes on. That's a whole podcast episode scrapped. God damn it.

cursed creature and the siblings friendly bickering

[onewomancitadel]

I don't tend to like comparative photosets overly much, but the reason I liked the previous monster romance one was because it's not really comparative, it is literally like... interlinked tradition, conceptually via fairytales/myth if not genetic lol.

I was also delighted to see Prince Lindworm there since I read about that one recently.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING?! THIS IS SOME GOOD STUFF RIGHT HERE! AND WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN TOLD ABOUT ALL THE NAMES THIS SHIP CAN BE CALLED?! COBRASILK?! SLITHERWEB?! THOSE ARE FANTASTIC NAMES FOR THIS SHIP!

Some light n' fluffy Zestious <3

read more cuz this is kinda long lol

One of Sir Pentious's biggest insecurities in their relationship is the physical and social power difference between them because it's pretty fucking big. Zestial the oldest and one of the most powerful overlords in hell has somehow become smitten with fucking Sir Pentious, the one Alastor has let live despite his constant attacks because he finds how pathetic he is amusing, the one that was immediately caught spying on the hotel, the one who despite living in hell 136 years has amounted to nothing but a laughingstock. it's a big difference that he notices

Sir Pentious feels like he isn't offering enough in their relationship, he's scared that one day Zestial's going to realize that he could do so much better then him (it doesn't help that a lot of Zestial's associates have said this to him, he hasn't told Zestial yet), he knows what people think about him, he's seen the news, he's seen the mocking stares, and despite his boastful persona he's not so stupid as to be unaware of what people think of him. That's one of the reasons he even wants to be an overlord, to be truly worthy of Zestial's affections

but Sir Pentious does offer something invaluable to Zestial, he offers Zestial the one thing his influence and power can't get him, someone who actually likes him for him. Its lonely at the top, most sinners who try to befriend him are looking for something, they either want to backstab him or use him for his power but Sir Pentious is different.

Sir Pentious isn't using him for his money or to become an overlord (he literally won't even let Zestial help him, he has to do this on his own) Sir Pentious enjoys his company, he likes it when he goes on about his day no matter how boring, he cares to make him his tea just the way he likes it, not because he's scared of angering him, but because he likes to see him happy, he would date him even if he wasn't an overlord because he's a sucker for gentlemanly vampires he genuinely likes Zestial. there's not a lot of people who Zestial is "close" to that could say the same

and Zestial is fucking terrified of losing Sir Pentious, he doesn't think that Sir Pentious is going to leave, he's scared of him dying. Zestial is old, he's seen so many of his loved ones perish either from an Exorcist's blade or a rival looking to get one over on him and it's not like Sir Pentious is being careful (I think trying to fight Alastor like 20 times is the definition of careless) he's picking fights he can't win and the only reason no one's done him in yet is because they know he isn't a threat but Zestial knows it's only so long before someone finishes him off for good.

if you headcanon that their relationship is kept a secret (I don't bc its funnier if it's just public knowledge that Zestial is dating a loser <3) then its Zestial's idea to keep it under wraps. Zestial wants it hidden to protect Sir Pentious, he knows the moment others know they're together that Sir Pentious is no longer be seen as a harmless idiot, he will be someone that Sinners looking to get a head can use. at best Sir Pentious will be killed quickly, at worst he will suffer immensely before the Angelic Spear comes for his head, and Zestial knows this because it happened before.

Sir Pentious thinks it's because Zestial is embarrassed of him, he thinks Zestial doesn't want anyone to know he's dating this guy, a guy who can't even win a fight against a fucking Porn star, No Sir Pentious knows he isn't worth losing a reputation over. He wants NEEDS to be an overlord because maybe then they wouldn't have to hide, maybe if he wasn't such a disappointment then they could have normal dates like going to a play or going to a tea house together instead of sneaking him into the estate through the back to have dinner in Zestial's room, now don't get him wrong, he's very appreciative of those dates (Zestial has some amazing private chefs) but it would be nice if he was Zestial's boyfriend instead of Zestial's secret boyfriend.

and neither of them talk about their fears together because this is hell, and nobody knows how to be emotionally vulnerable with each other, at least until Sir Pentious almost double dies and they're forced to talk to each other

I lied >:}

this would've been done sooner if SOMEONE *cough* @omni-present-god-send *cough* wasn't distracting me with overlord Sir Pentious🙄 (jkjkjkjk i love you)

if anyone has any additions please let me know 🙏
