When Stinkor was created for Masters of the Universe, Mattel executives were told when presenting him to the cartoon studio Filmation that this was terrible and there was nothing they could do with him if he appeared but fart jokes.
A year later, the She-Ra line had a figure whose gimmick was “smells good”, and Filmation gave her one of the best episodes, “Flowers for Hordak”.

So what I want to see is a fanfic in this continuity where they meet. Hordak is plotting an invasion of Eternia, but he needs to know where Skeletor will be, so he sends scouts to grab whomever's guarding Snake Mountain and bring them in for interrogation. It's Stinkor. Hordak and subordinates have no idea how to deal with this until Perfuma waltzes into the Fright Zone to see Hordikins again.

LOVERS OF BOTH GENS REPRESENT
One thing that I think is rarely mentioned is that ok like. He-Man right? The thing about He-Man was that he was supposed to be a power fantasy of children, and thus, SUPER-ADULT which to the creators, bless their hearts, meant he sounded 40+. His voice was DEEP. He sounded like he had already beaten up every bad guy ever and was just sort of punching Skeletor because that's what you do when new bad guys show up. His sounding old, was meant as part of the power fantasy, IE "Imagine not only that you are big and tough, but you're like, Dad-aged, maybe even older."
And then She-Ra. Did. The Same Thing.
Which sounds so obvious the way I've written this all out but you have to understand a woman is not EXPECTED to be older and more powerful the same way a man is expected to, but in 80's She-Ra, that's EXACTLY how it went down, and it was amazing in a way that as a child I never understood until I got old enough to look around and see how messed up the rest of media was about feminine power. She-Ra of old was, like He-Man, 40+ which only made sense because they were twins, and that choice, to have them be the same age and get the same "power as in being the age where you'd be in congress or president" was quietly revolutionary.
And She-Ra was a Serious Woman Doing Serious Work when she transformed. (Same as He-Man was a Serious Man Doing Serious Work, also both of them are Kind Of Tired Of Your Shit, Skeletor and/or Hordak) and I don't think I appreciated at the time how age was treated so differently in this show that like, most other media. For both He-Man and She-Ra, being a bit older was part of the power fantasy, and it really worked, because both of them sounded older than their alter egos, their appearance always gave you the same thrill of "OH SHIT SON YOU MADE DAD AND/OR MOM MAD" and it's only after a lifetime of being conditioned to NOT think of age as power (to some extent for men but to a BIG extent for women) that I see how that was unusual.
None of this is to take from the very specific joy that 2017 She-Ra weaves by very specifically being about youth of course, because it's doing something very different about the relationship between age and power. It's still doing something with age and power though, which is that it openly criticizes adults who misuse theirs, and applauds those who do not.
Both are awesome. I love both She-Ras. Make more please

I finished watching She-Ra’ reboot and i can tell it’s amazing and colorful. And now i’m watching the classic series. The most impressive is the great change of generation and aesthetics that both have!

It's been a long day of hearing petitioners at the local meeting house and the King and Queen of Bright Moon would like to be done now.
For the @glimbowweek prompt, Trends and Memes, I had to do a redraw of this...

It is certainly different than any other iteration.  From what I have picked up from toyline lore and from the Filmation-series, there, Hordak was an actual literal little-brother, Imperial prince who was foisted off into the Horde military to keep him from being a power-challenge to his older brother and "Prime" was a title, not a name.  I remember OG Hordak musing that he would "get to be Horde Prime someday."  -  Which makes it an interesting irony how the reboot-Princesses of Power universe DID have him "become Horde Prime" for a few minutes (literally, through possession) and he DEFINITELY DID NOT WANT.
“Imperial prince who was foisted off ... to keep him from being a power-challenge” only comes from bios on the packaging of some Masters of the Universe Classics figures (2009-2016).
All those other details go back to the Filmation series. J. Michael Straczynski (later known for the live action science fiction show Babylon 5 and then some Marvel Comics runs) had Hordak muse in “Into the Dark Dimension” that “not knowing where you are or where you’re going” was “like being in the Horde military”. JMS claims that he was uncredited story editor on Season 1 along with Larry DiTillio, the show’s creator at Filmation, so odds are at least 50/50 that he saw and approved the scripts making Horde Prime the father of Hordak’s elf nephew and it being a title currently held by that being.
“Horde Prime Takes a Holiday”, credited to both JMS and Bob Forward, added the detail that (the current) Horde Prime is so old, he hasn’t had a vacation in 500 years. And while this isn’t something JMS or DiTillio would have been aware of, his brother being vastly old dovetails with Hordak being a name King Hiss recognizes after thousands of years in a dimensional void in a 1986 Masters of the Universe mini-comic.

I know we make fun of Spop Worldbuilding or lack their of but I do wonder if some details were not locked down until later seasons.
One big one is Hordak origins, for I do wonder if early on they were going to have it where Hordak did come with a alien army much like his original 80's counterpart and not just by himself.
Another one is Horde Prime and I do wonder how deep into the series they were when they decided Horde Prime and the Galactic Horde was less Galactic Empire and more "Evil Religious Cult of Hive Mind Clones"
From the rumors I heard (and keep in mind, they are only rumors, things I've seen passed around in the fandom), they didn't have Hordak's origins and some of the greater stuff locked down during Season 1. I think I heard that they didn't even know if they were going to get to use Horde Prime - that being able to mention him was in negotiation. He premiered on the original She-Ra, not really in the MotU line in the beginning (and has had many iterations, not unlike Hordak), but the whole "Are we allowed to have this character?" I think was... a thing? Early on? And once they got the go-ahead, they were freer to form out the story. I'd heard that the entire clone/cult thing came about as a bit of inspiration that struck one of the writers during the show-writing, as in, that wasn't originally planned and came as a eureka!-moment when the crew was stuck on some plot-points. It is certainly different than any other iteration. From what I have picked up from toyline lore and from the Filmation-series, there, Hordak was an actual literal little-brother, Imperial prince who was foisted off into the Horde military to keep him from being a power-challenge to his older brother and "Prime" was a title, not a name. I remember OG Hordak musing that he would "get to be Horde Prime someday." - Which makes it an interesting irony how the reboot-Princesses of Power universe DID have him "become Horde Prime" for a few minutes (literally, through possession) and he DEFINITELY DID NOT WANT. Spop Hordak and OG Hordak could swap some stories.
