📌[PINNED POST]📌
Hello! I am MeatMensch, 3d modeler guy and creator of the Minerva Gems webseries. I have been working on MG for the past 10 years, and we're working on the finalized pilot right now!
I do NSFW and SFW stuff, so expect a wide range of content. I mostly do NSFW of my Gem Gals, Staurolite and Olivine. Sometimes I write or post lore about my series.
I got a Discord server, DM to get access!
Fan art of any sort of my characters is welcome and appreciated! The Contest is still under construction, but I hope to get everything in order soon.
If you wanna ask me stuff, or request something featuring my characters, check out my StrawPage!

@vickyickystink@Alaizia12 His close tie to Brandon Herrera is a little sketch. He's shown up in Herrera's gun meet up videos. Despite that, I generally think Wendigoon is an example of a well meaning but severely uninformed/ignorant moderate conservative. You meet em a lot of you live in the south.
Sorry for lack of stuff. Been sick with... idk actually. Just kind of on an off fatigue, sleepiness, and muslce pain that lasts for a couple days then subsides. Then it comes back. Been to the doctor already and they don't got much answers for me.
It's whatever at this point.
At least I have these stinky things to keep me company
I think it comes down to if the people working on it are stable?
For my project my biggest helping hands has been my GF. She used to be able to be more a part of it but due to irl work it's been more slow going. She laid a lot of the groundwork for the story and characters and i had to take over. Still, having her be a quality check on most decisions has been vital for my approach to our project.
I found all of the games to be very cumbersome and stiff in the way the game works. I was always told it was for "difficulty" reasons but i never believed that. You can especially see it in user made modded levels which can apparently only use native assets in the game itself, thus making all user levels feel the exact same. I believe the intended affect was to make the game feel oppressive and sterile like portal but the way the game functions is so utterly minimal it feels more like a lack of detail and fore thought than an intentional design choice.
First Haydee is for sure W goon design but that's about it. There's also some kind of bigger "story" implied but so little effort is done to convey it, it might as well not be there.
@I_AM_SONICC I will never understand the fucking pup stuff fetish man. Someone tried pitching the leather pup masks to me once like "oh it's an affordable alternative to fur suiting" bro that shit is uncanny af, hell no.
@Skylandersfan69 It was also especially BS that fans tried to sate the desire for Bionicle media, that fan made game that was being made, and Lego took it down, they're pulling the "It's my IP to sit on and do nothing with!" bit. It's just frustrating. Not unexpected, but frustrating
This makes me angry on a primal level. Not for what this is, but for the fact of how much fan fair, THIS fucking gets while Bionicle, THE THING THAT SAVED LEGO FROM BANKRUPCY has been thrown out like trash. Arguably Ninjago was what killed the entire constraction line of figures Lego has too. Just very very bitter about this as a Bionicle fan and i will admit it's a irrational bitterness but Lego has been disrespecting Bionicle's legacy for YEARS now.
I know that. Bionicle g1 had its time and deserved a break, it's later revival was handled very poorly and pretty much killed it dead.
I will rephrase my issue here a bit. I believe it is time for them to shelve Ninjago. As someone who was a fan of the original series from 2011, it has to go. They haven't tried too many new things lately. (To my knowledge just monkey kid and exo knights?) They seem quite happy to ride off of their over priced branded stuff.
I just wish they would take more chances, or even try older things again now that the early 2000s generation is absolutely begging for that stuff. Exo-Force, Power miners, hell even Chima. They keep releasing damn star wars and marvel crap when those 2 franchises have been barely relevant in the past 10 years.
The feeling of disrespect comes from how they keep nodding to bionicle every now and then, especially the first year of bionicle, then do nothing else with it. It's like they're teasing us. Growing nostalgia for it is at a all time high. People have been begging for a retry of the first year. Honestly had they never done the gift with purchase or the mini-fig I would have let go long ago. But it's clear they can, but just won't. So every 5 to 10 years they'll nod at bionicle but will never do something with it.
There was a low head dam that used to be a swimming spot my grandmother took me to called Perry's Mill when i was like 10ish. This place was notorious for people drowning however despite that it was a hugely popular spot to swim because 1, it was free, and 2 the water was crystal clear.
The last time I went there, I was at the top of the dam when we were about to leave. The water at the top was shallow enough that you can walk across the Sandy ground to get in and out of the river, except for one specific part. I had unexpectedly reached an area of the top that was much deeper than the rest, it was under the shade of a tree so I couldn't see the drop. After dropping into the deeper water, I very quickly realized, not only was this just a deeper part, it was a busted part of the dam at was sucking me in. I couldn't reach a firm part of the ground and by that point the flow of water was much too strong to swim against it. I was gonna go over.
After second of helplessly trying to swim against the current, I hit brick and stone, scraping the front of my legs, stomach, and chest, luckily my arms were able to grab the ledge and I held on. I was fully underwater. I couldn't pull my head up to breath and I couldn't move even a little less I lose grip. I didn't see anyone else around me when I went under, for a moment I thought "this is it", I was gonna go over into the drowning machine of the water below, or hit a rock o4 whatever. Didn't know what was below me but knew it wouldn't end good. So I just held for as long as I could.
Then. I saw someone approach. He stopped in front of me and said something, couldn't hear because, ya know, im under water? Then he repeated what he said. Still couldn't hear so just used the last bit of air I had to yell. He grabbed ahold of me, and pulled me up, when my head was out of the water he said again in the thickest possible southern hick accent
"AY YO LIL BUDDY YOU NEED SOME HELP?"
I was pretty dazed Still so just said "Huh?", he replied
"YOU NEED SOME DANG OL' HELP?"
"Uh, yeah... thanks..."
"YUP"
He took me back over to the river side and set me down. I was so exhausted I just sat on the dirt for a bit.
"YOU GOOD FROM HERE LIL MAN?"
"Uh huh.."
"YUP."
Then he walked back into the river like nothing happened. By this point my grandma rushed over to me and dragged me back to our car. She saw the whole thing. She barely gave me a chance to catch my breath before rushing away back home.
A while later something similar happened to someone else, unfortunately they weren't as lucky as me. Afterwards the area has been closed off after who knows how many people died here, and I could have been one of them if I wasn't saved by what im convinced was a king of the hill extra.
To this day I think I have such bad luck because I used up all of my good luck at that very moment lol
