Homestuck Secret Santa 2022 (Late edition) For : @monggay

My part of this year’s @homestuckss event.

Included is a surviving excerpt of The Execu-Cretary’s Diaries, a multipart action novel in the much maligned Ashen Facilitator-surrogate genre. It was being optioned for Alternian Cinema, shortly before the Dooms Day which destroyed the Empire (being widely considered a good move for the art of cinema). The series follows an ambitious 10 sweep old Jade blood (Harley Bequel), whose defied the norms of her caste to become a highly esteemed, and professional Execu-Cretary entangled in the corporate intrigue of Alternian Military Fashion: Sitting between the two most powerful women in Military Fashion, careening through Capital Prime’s streets in the luxury scuttlier at twilight, should have been more exciting. Just being there had answered a sweeps long quest to achieve high and move into the highest echelons of the Empire’s Execu-Cretary cadres.

But here it was less than 3 hours into my first duty-shift and I was bored. The worst possible thing for an on duty Execu-Cretary. 

There wasn’t even nerves. Nerves at least made you more likely to act in an emergency. Boredom made response slow, and meant more danger than ever. Nerves are something you get around someone who commands respect.

The Two Women I was assigned to, powerful magnates with untold influence, had started bickering even before getting into their scuttlier. The Argument had remained the same the entire ride into their office: ‘Were shoulder epaulettes  truly in this year’?  Aradia, who was the more reserved of the pair and surprisingly from the burgundy caste, and she felt strongly against them. Terezi, the teal blood, was much more interested in just having an the argument. 

Even a hard as nails, professional Execu-Cretary like me could see these two were in obvious Vacillations ... And the thought dawned, as an ashen lump in my throat.

‘This argument wasn’t for my benefit, was it?’ I asked myself, a cold sweat forming on my skin. Oh no, the last thing I needed was to be drawn in as the facilitator for a Imperial level power couple...

The blurb on the back of the novel promises a glimpse into the corridors of power, the lap of luxury and wealth, the intrigue of Military Fashion, corruption that spans the hemospectrum, and at least 3 Biotronic Ninjas fights. Owing to her wide array of combat skills, physical prowess, and a  ‘veritable armory’ of gadgets at her disposal Harley can handle any  threat that crosses her path... But she has no defense whatsoever against the two troll’s she  assigned to protect; a distant Burgundy blood with a mysterious past and a mischievous Teal gremlin and their Vacillations for one another.

lego needs to act on this and also AND ALSO BRING BACK BIOTRONICS

okay but can we take a minute to talk about how cute the concept art for FFVII’s field models is

i know some people will say it hasn’t aged well, but personally, i love the little Lego people, i can’t help but feel a potential remake would be lacking in charm if it ditched them

As I understand it--the Micronauts are owned by Hasbro, but Bug himself isn’t based on a Micronauts figure, so he’s an original Marvel creation.  Wikipedia says that he (as well as Arcturus Rann and Princess Mari) were later in a group called “The Microns” as microversal characters with all the trademarked bits sanded off.  Acroyear and Microtron and Biotron are still Hasbro-owned though, I’d imagine.

I kept wanting the Micronauts to show up in the Ant-Man Quantum Realm thing.  (I haven’t seen the latest movie yet but I gather that they still haven’t.)

With all this hype for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, I have been desperately hoping that we get to see one of my favourite guardians, and one who I feel is criminally underrated, Bug!!

(Spoilers for Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest ahead)

To fully explain why bug is so underrated, we have to go back to the Annihilation event. Annihilation was a huge crossover event from 2006 that brought all of Marvel's cosmic superheroes together to fight a common foe, Annihilus. This helped pull the cosmic side of Marvel back into popularity and gave a fanbase to characters who were previously obscure. One of these obscure characters was Peter Quill AKA Star Lord. While not playing a huge role, Star Lord was an entertaining side character who seemed to gain the largest popularity boost from the event.

This takes us into Annihilation: Conquest! Things are kicked off when Star Lord tries to aid the Kree empire in rebuilding after the war. He accidently gets them enslaved by robots. The Kree respond by drafting him into their military and forcing him to go on suicide missions for them. But he's not alone! Star Lord is joined by a cast of characters so obscure, only the most intense Marvel fans would know who they are. Joining Star Lord was Gabriel Vargas AKA Captain Universe, Sharra Neramani AKA Deathcry, Mantis, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and our favourite two toed guardian, Bug! This series reads almost like a blueprint for the Guardians of the Galaxy and is a good read, especially if you're a Guardians fan!! The team goes on missions, people die, and eventually the day is saved!

This brings us to the formation of the modern day Guardians of the Galaxy. Star Lord feels guilty for accidentally starting a second huge space disaster only a few years after the first, so he assembles a team to prevent any more from happening. He does this by grabbing all the heavy hitters from the Annihilation: Conquest event: Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Adam Warlock, and Phyla-Vell. He also recruits every surviving member of his team except Bug, this being: Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Mantis. The team gets a base in Knowhere, where they meet and recruit chief of security Cosmo! Having Bug be the only surviving member of Star Lord's free trial Guardians still standing who doesn't get recruited is pretty awful for the guy, but he does get his moment to shine! When the team encounters drama and half the members quit, Rocket reforms the team, recruiting Bug and Major Victory!! On the first mission of the new team, Bug cracks jokes about how he wasn't good enough to make the original cut of the roster.

From left to right we have: Phyla-Vell (now going by Martyr), Jack Flag (one of Captain America's sidekicks from the 90's), Star Lord, Gamora, and Bug!!

Bug stayed a loyal and dedicated member of the team until the end of the first Guardians comic run, which led to the team being rebooted to match the movies closer, with the only members being Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, Groot and Iron Man (for some reason). As far as I have read, that is the last time Bug has been featured on the team.

Not only was Bug a cool looking, fun character on the team, he had been there pretty much since the start. I would really love to see him in the MCU one day, but Marvel has had issues with the licensing of the character (he's owned by Hasbro), so we might not get to see him anytime soon. I would really love to see him make a return in the comics though!!
