The Lunacy of LEGOman Values

LEGO is perhaps the ideal toy. It fosters creativity, and from that creativity and freedom flow myriad works of breathtaking calibre. The LEGO fandom at its best is an incredible creative force, producing amazing works of scale and complexity beyond our wildest dreams, rendered lovingly in perhaps the most versatile childrens' toy there is.

That's not the part of the fandom we're here to celebrate.

This one's for the unintentional comedy the LEGO fanbase so often affords. The quirky, offensive, uneducated or otherwise unintentionally funny comments on forums and news sites alike. The fan art and writing of questionable calibre. The hastily slapped together MOCs. The senseless loldrama. And above all else, the people who take it all far, far too seriously. Ladies and gentlemen, here's to the very bottom of the barrel that is the LEGO fandom.

A side note: we (probably) don't hate you. We actually don't hate anything at all! We just find your words or actions really funny, and we're sharing the incredible mirth with the world.

So this is supposed to be Vriska Serket.

um

look I appreciate that bonklestyle MOCs of creatures which are generally humanoid are difficult to accomplish, but that doesn’t absolve that sorry excuse for a face or shirt.  Also I am almost certain that Vriska’s jacket doesn’t ever have tails like that, which is a bizarrely common feature in bonklestyle MOCs of her.

One day I am determined to have a crack at a decent Homestuck MOC, pretty much because of things like this.  Of course, I kinda have to reteach myself to MOC first.

Oh, LMB.  How I’ve missed posting you here.

I thought it would be interesting to build a larger version of Natalie Breez with more human proportions.

“human proportions”

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

At least he realises the tits and ass are just appalling and intends to fix them, but that doesn’t save the rest of it.  Tits and ass aside, that neck needs absolutely critical attention.

(also note the claw thing jutting out from the weapon in such a way that you can’t see it head-on and from the side it looks like a giant sharp penis; that has to be intentional)

may contain references to this monstrosity

nope nothing to see here

sometimes I really, really, really worry about the Hero Factory set design team

for example, the summer 2012 set Stormer XL

how does this thing even stand

how does a set designer look at something so incredibly top-heavy with practically no legs and go “yup that’s a good set right there”

how does this even happen

this is like my entire beef with Hero Factory set design rolled up into one godawful package

it can’t be that difficult to whip up something that looks decent, even with set design constraints, but no, again and again the HF team proves that they just have no fucking clue at all

BAC THE OFFICAL FANCOMIC by tamroc7

Sonic once again manages to make a bad comic terrible

I’m starting to get the impression that as the Bionicle fandom slowly fades away, the Ninjago fandom will become our new main source of terrible things.

Yum! http://pic.twitter.com/Yrxz4O1K

so Crack Jag attempted* to order Black Six a pizza with Six’s own money

this is actually a significant improvement over that hacking horseshit and it’s actually pretty funny, stalker implications aside, but yeah it’s obvious that he’s snapped

*and by attempted I mean failed; maybe using Six’s email address was a bad idea because y’know, they allow people to cancel the order

this might just be the best burn I’ve ever heard from the LEGO fandom, and a very well-deserved one at that!  a tip of the hat to mr. CCC

There are several immutable facts of the way the world is, but the most important and relevant ones are:

  • LEGO’s Cuusoo service will inevitably attract a torrent of submissions for licenced products based on popular media
  • As has been proven lately, licenced products gaining popularity on Cuusoo will never go down well with the LEGO fandom
  • Mudkip is the best Pokémon

The power of fandom is an inevitable force of nature on the internet.  Hell, this blog itself is a product of that fact; if fandom wasn’t this influential a thing, would I feel the need to be a dick to little children? (yes I would, I’m a monster, I know) When LEGO opened the doors on the international version of its Cuusoo service last year, then, it was inevitable that Cuusoo would be flooded with proposals for most everyone’s favourite fictional works, with Sturgeon’s Law applying across the board.  As it turns out, though, there are some people who just can’t handle even the good ones.

WHY

(minor update: he did the same thing for 3DS and DS versions of the game

like exactly the same thing, except a little smaller and a different border

even his description of it is almost completely unchanged

and also who even does both DS and 3DS versions of a game)

sometimes I wonder if VTP actually does drugs of some sort

and then I look at his comics and realize that the thought that he doesn’t is actually much more horrifying
