rebloggin both because of the usefulness of this doc and because, well shit, I didn't know Mattel was also a part of the companies to be boycotted for doing Zionist Bullshit (They're at the bottom, for the record)

That's gonna be saddening to @therobotmonster, and for those who know the industry better, it's probably worth compiling a list of MotU Origins alternatives for those who're saddened at this turn of events too.

Tho I will point out in terms of ethical alternatives to MotU, @therobotmonster is in fact likely going to be one of them, given he has an old MotU-like 3d printable action figure sculpt he's updating to be better for more conventional PLA (He's already done the update for the riding beast, which is available now for free), so keep an eye on his Cults3d page for those!

A reminder that Jazwares CEO - the company behind toy brands like Kellytoy, Squishmallows, Bum Bumz, Hello Kitty, Pokemon (in North America), Nerf, and many others - is a staunch supporter of Israel, with half of their recent intern cohort from Reichman University being called back to fight in the IOF. Not only this, but he and his wife Laura are working with the organization known as Brothers For Life that gives aid to Israeli soldiers, as well as supporting the infamous Canary Mission, which is responsible for doxxing pro-Palestinian students.

Buying new Jazwares products is going towards a CEO who supports genocide, please continue to boycott Jazwares brands and seek out alternative brands or strictly buy from secondhand sources when looking for new gifts for yourself or your loved ones. Do not continue to put money in Jazwares's pockets.

Alright, a specific iteration won, but nobody said what itteration in the replies. So now we gotta do another poll!

What iteration of Masters of the Universe?

[callaofmageros]

I had this musing for an AU for Prince Keldor where he has Henry VIII type problems like the wife gives birth to like, four daughters, and King Miro just gives up waiting and makes Randor his successor.

Stuff like this occurs to me because I'm really interested in how tweaking a variable or two affects subsequent happenings like ripples in a pond.

Does Keldor turn into an abusive tyrant like Henry VIII before vanishing to become Skeletor or does he remain kind to his wife until he disappears?

Just stuff I think about when I'm bored.

I wish Dare and Skeleteen had interacted with each other more.

They barely even appear in the same panel together! Across the entire Classics-Line comics, Dare and Skeleteen only appear together in 3 panels, and in only ONE(1) of them are they even interacting with each other.

He-man and the masters of the universe explained

Evil-Lyn, He-Man (80's) Not as happy with this one but eh, it is what it is.

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.

Another possible reference to SPOP in MOTUC

Am earlier, and a bit more questionable one than the one with Micah in Hunga's Bio, but still a possible one. It's in Horde Prime's second Bio (as Horde Supreme), that curiously was posted May 18 2020, 3 days after season 5 of SPOP aired:

Being described as "a fanatic convinced of his own superiority" fit's very well the SPOP incarnation of Horde Prime.

The idea Horde Prime started as a mortal being, that somehow absorbed demonic energy/partly merged with a demonic entity, resembles theories Horde Prime, like Light Spinner/Shadow Weaver merged with a demonic shadow spirit - due to how Horde Prime's spirit looks fairly similar to shadow being summoned by Spell of Obtainment, and which merged with Light Spinner:

As well as both Horde Prime, and Shadow Weaver needing to practice a form of vampirism to survive, suggesting (and giving rise to a theory) Horde Prime also merged with a similar, or identical type of entity in distant past in SPOP. This maybe inspiring this Bio's idea of the (partial) merger of Horde Prime and Hordeous.

It's also similar to the idea Horde Prime is the Unnamed/Nordor, as would be revealed in the 2002 comics, but I think it's more similar to the possible/theorized situation in SPOP.

This is though a more questionable reference, even if the timing does kinda suggest it.

"OH, BUT NEVER HAVE I HELD SUCH RAW POWER IN MY FISTS!"

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a splash page of Skeletor threatening the "doom of Eternia," from the pages of "MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE" Vol. 1 #3. February, 1983. DC Comics.

"I have traveled the length of the multiverse, wreaking havoc... bringing terror wherever the shadow of Skeletor's boot fell across the cowering populace. Billions of souls... countless worlds... universes beyond counting... all have fallen to my might! Oh, but never have I held such raw power in my fists!"

-- SKELETOR to Teela and He-Man

Chaos Lord 10

The Tenth Lord is Orko from MotU. Yes he's kinda lame but we all love him,right?

[ladyblueberrymuffin]

Fine. I will do it myself.

I can't believe nobody makes like fanart of Classic Catradora. Like their relationship in the original show is so fucking funny, they're like two cunty mature queers roasting each other.

And it's the total opposite of their relationship in the reboot, Catra is so sick of She-ra's shit.

[callaofmageros]

Ending the year with a bang and so is Shadow Weaver apparently.

[emperorsfoot]

Who is the Unnamed One? Horde Prime? Nordor? Gorpo?

Gorpo

He used to be one of the Overlords of Trolla and, in fact, helped to forge the Power Sword, but was corrupted by ambition and tried to steal the Power Sword and the Power of Grayskull for himself.
