Some more Maukta Vakama thoughts because I think Vakama would make a decent villain in some kind of AU

Isn't evil for the sake of evil. He knows what he's doing isn’t 100% right or to the Toa code, but in his mind, he is doing the right thing, doing what he must to save the Matoran.

Has the feeling of, "You need me more than I need you," towards the other Toa Metru. It hurts them to hear it from their brother, especially because they're too late to get him back. There's nothing they can say to change his mind.

Why did he switch sides? Story-wise, it's up in the air. Maybe he and the team pushed each other too far, and Vakama was the one to break. Maybe after Lhikan's rescue, Vakama is accidentally left behind by the team, or stuck on the other side of the massive door and he gets swarmed by Vahki, coming to bound and at the mercy of the Makuta Teridax, who Vakama knows isn't the real Turaga Dume and who either manipulates Vakama into joining the Brotherhood of Makuta or makes him the offer because while Teridax does have plans for all of Metru Nui, plans he doesn't want the Toa to thwart, he will need help running the show, amd Vakama is less a show-runner and more a behind the scenes guy, and he can have his old friends back, if he so desires. He can't be turned back into a Matoran, but he can have his friends, the ones who really cared for him, the ones who never doubted him or made him feel insignificant. Either way, Vakama agrees and joins up

Similar to how the Dark Hunters had Nidhiki and Krekka partnered together, Teridax gives Vakama to Sidorak and Roodaka, because the two need to keep an eye on him and Vakama won't be quick to backstab them or hide any plans. Both would like to turn him again the other, or at least use him to get the other Toa, maybe to kill them all, but it becomes clear that there will be no trickery of any kind with the ex-Toa of Fire because he's already planning ahead by using his invisibility to spy on them and gather intel for his own purposes

All villains have a laugh. Vakama does have a villain laugh, but it's terrifying to hear because he sounds like he's just as scared as the person hearing him laugh, like the control on himself and his own fear and despair that he's fought so hard to maintain is slipping and what's left is an ex-Toa who has screwed up in a way he will never recover from and the only way to go now is forward

Roodaka does try manipulating him and scaring him to her side, but she does so by threatening him with the Visorak, more specifically knocking him out and throwing him in a room with A BUNCH of them without his disk launcher and with his hands bound. When he comes to, he's not cocooned in webbing or mutated. He's surrounded by Visorak and they do go to scare him, but Vakama asks them to stop showing off and get it over with, assuming they're going to kill him. They don't. They're more frozen where they are, even when Vakama shouts, asking them what they're waiting for and, in his rage, sends out a burst of flame that scares the Visorak and frees Vakama. They leave him be and Vakama, unable to get out of the room he's in, sits against a wall, staring at the ceiling before he has a vision of himself sitting on a firey throne with the Visorak around him. When he 'awakes' from the vision, a Boggarak approaches and joins Vakama's side, not wanting to anger a Toa with nothing to lose. He swears that he will ensure their freedom, so long as they help him with something of great importance

Over time, the more he's away from the Toa, his armor changes color. It's not really red or red mixed with the gold and orange like the Movie design. The red stays, but it darkens to a burgundy or crimson color, the gold fades to a more tarnished silver, and the orange is black. He's kept the red armor as a reminder of where he's from and the home he's fighting for.

"Reunions" had between him and the other Toa Metru are TENSE. For one, they see what's become of their brother when he's not with them. They also see that he's a force to be reckoned with because, as they soon realize, he's been planning circles around them, rigging the archives to be IMPOSSIBLE to get in and out of, booby trapping roads and ally-ways so that someone gets shot by a disk launcher or even a Rhotuka spinner, sneaking behind them until they see a shadow or until their path is blocked by fire or something else happens. When things allign too well, they know Vakama was behind it

He doesn't fully understand his visions, but he's at the point where he can make educated guesses amd those guesses are good enough that he's VERY close to the mark

the trope of you accidentally catching a peek of someone having sex with another and instead of fucking off you stick around and hope they don't find out except they already know but:

you're roommates with active military soap and it works because he's hardly there, he's real easy to be friends with and when his hands wander it's not totally repulsive because he's hot.

and then he brings his boyfriend over and you'd only meant to get some ice cream from the freezer but they left the door cracked open. you, as the good friend he doesn't fucking deserve, close the door while keeping your eyes glued to the ceiling and go about your day.

(you're so teasing him about the fact that he sounds like a bleating sheep while getting rawdogged lmaoooo)

but the one that catches you in the kitchen minding your own business isn't soap. it's his boyfriend. and his boyfriend is as forward as a freight train on a downhill slope.

"saw ya lookin' at us."

? you did no such thing.

"if ya were lookin' for a fuck, coulda just said so."

you were doing no such thing but it doesn't matter because you're but a simple hot blooded individual and having two doting meat heads fighting over who gets to taste you first is something out of a romance book.

Final Bug Fact:

The world NEEDS bugs. They keep the soil healthy, pollinate, control pests, and contribute to the worlds' ecosystem. By the end of the century, it is estimated 40% of insect species may go extinct due to habitat loss. Yes, that is very scary. But with even one beetle spared, one caterpillar rescued, and one Hollow Knight comic of all things, things will change. Because I know there's a lot more Dewi's out there than most people realize. Stay curious.

Thanks for going on this adventure with me. ♥︎

Comic Thoughts and Pictures Below!

I wanted to put here how amazing and sweet everyone has been with this comic. I finished a 75 page comic in 3 MONTHS. I am at a loss for words. That sounds crazy and it IS crazy. But man was it fun. Even on days were I wasn't able to draw due to fatigue or business, I loved working on it from start to finish. And guess what!? This is my first ever FINISHED comic :D I'm so proud of myself. I know there's some things I want to change and the art is wonky in most places...... but I'm content to let it be. What an amazing summer adventure!

I'm hoping to post the full comic on another Comic website. I may or may not edit some of the art ^w^ So I'll let y'all know when I release it.

Interested in learning what you could do to help your local insects? This is the basic stuff. Maybe make some Insect Hotels if you have the time!!! And never forget to spread the word about bugs. They need our help just as any animal on earth.

Still Here? Well you can look in the tags for little lore dumps if ur looking for stuff like that ;)
