Orko’s Favorite Uncle

The evil wizard Tauron casts a spell to summon an evil tamagotchi, which allows him to cast another spell to summon beings from another dimension, so that he can cast another spell to control them. He winds up with Orko’s kindly Uncle Montork and his pet Gark and makes do. He-Man and Orko look for a way to break the spell and eventually succeed with the Power of Love.

Episode Highlights:

Gotta catch ‘em all!

I guess he didn’t like the fish.

Nobody ever suspects The Butterfly

Once his power is gone, Tauron goes full Winter King and just wastes away to nothing. Sweet dreams, kids!

Rare shiny foil edition Montork

Moral: The most wonderful magic of all is just being alive.

Merry Charisma Wrist here’s Orko standing in the air with a backwards ass

[cyndalyssa]

Doodle Dump Time Again? Yeah, Doodle Dump Time Again

Pulling out some more random work scribbles (and a couple other drawings from home) because I’m bored. Mainly Orko and Trollan stuffy stuffs because that corner of the MOTU franchise is free real estate for headcanon junk.

 Warning, we got a couple pics with a bare baby Trollan face in here!

Decided to ‘Trollanize’ myself, adapting one of my favorite shirts (I love me a nice hoodie tee) into a decent Trollan outfit. 

This is just me brainstorming a design for Teela in my AU. 

You might see a more refined design for her later. 

And also coming up with how the “Orko saves Adam when they first meet” thing goes in the AU. There’s a flash flood involved. 

Oh, hey, look, I drew Cringer. Honestly, I find Cringer kind of annoying, but he’s too important of a character to leave out, so I’m gonna figure out how to draw the tiger (well, his adult self anyhow). 

Not gonna lie, I have too much fun drawing him in his ‘Oracle’ outfit.

(Although I’ve ultimately decided that his scarf should be white instead of purple like I’m implying with this, for some reason he seems more powerful and important when wearing a white scarf.)

I had the strange idea of drawing Uncle Montork as a child, along with his little sister Ilyne (Orko’s mother). He might as well look kind of like Harry Potter. 

An attempt at my AU’s He-Man, with his little wizard pal, Orko!

Here, have a Sorceress and Teela thingy. 

I dunno, I had a dumb thought of “What if Orko could sense magic in Teela?”

(Sensing each other’s magic signatures is no big deal on Trolla, it’s how they identify each other since they don’t show their faces, but for some reason, it never occurs to Orko that it’s not all that common on Eternia.)

I wanted to draw the ancient Oracle (who I’ve named Arzon) being cool.

Here’s a younger Montork when he was on his Sorcerer’s Quest, rescuing a kid from danger (said kid would grow up to be Orko’s father... I’m kinda undecided on the name). 

This is one of the options in my mind of how Orko broke his wand shortly after coming to Eternia in this AU--he lifts a ton of floodwater with it (when he tried freehand it didn’t work right) and transports it elsewhere, and it was too much for the wand. 

An attempt at Loo-Kee.

Fooled around with the idea of Montork having had a lady love of his own when he was younger. 

Her name’s Esso, and she’s a spunky lady who’s got a way with animals. 

Welp, I guess we’re getting into the darker parts of Trollan lore in the AU. So this was a result of me asking myself, “What if the Unnamed One had a following on Trolla?” Granted, I did rearrange some puzzle pieces on the Unnamed One story because I found the stuff on him in Classics kind of disappointing, but, we’re talking about an AU that’s just me messing around, so, uh...

Anyway, the Unnamed Order is a terrorist cult on Trolla that’s been causing misery on the planet for thousands of years. The Order is like a cockroach--no matter how much you nuke it it just won’t die. They’re experts at cloaking magic, so nobody knows who they are, and often nobody can see them coming. They’re mainly seeking to get the power necessary to break out of Trolla’s dimension and to where they can free their dark master, so that the universe will belong to them. They also tend to punish regular Trollans for growing weaker and more complacent over the years, as opposed to the glory days when Trollans were respected archmages in the universe. 

Edelia was Gorpo’s wife, who was 100% behind him in his attempts to take over the universe. When he was banished, well, she wasn’t too happy... but she found a special crystal to communicate with him, and thus carry on work for him. Thus, she indoctrinated many friends, relatives, and wayward souls into her newfound Order, and no matter how long it takes, they will claim the universe. 

Members of the order have shown up in Orko’s Sorcerer’s Quest post. 

Drawing out an idea for who the Spirit in the Horn of Evil is in the AU. Her name’s Rethilsa, she was the first of the Destroying Angels of the Unnamed Order (who regular Trollans refer to as Cursed Ones). She caused a lot of chaos in ancient Trolla until a song mage that bore the Oracle Ring Mage Emblem (the highest and rarest of the mage emblems) destroyed her with a special song. 

Her bones were made into the Horn of Evil, which when blown into releases her to cause chaos and destruction and stuff. That chaos can be reversed by the special song, though it works best when sung by a song mage. 

Part of Montork’s backstory in my AU is that he actually fought the latest of the Cursed Ones, who suddenly popped up after a few generations without a Cursed One attack. He’s celebrated for his victory over that scary powerful opponent, but Montork himself doesn’t like talking about it.  

It was the day he lost most of his family after all (the only survivor was baby Orko). 

It was a pretty rough fight. 

Okay, darker moment over...

Now, it’s time for Orko and Dree Elle family hour!

Trollan wedding attire in two different universes. Sadly, I made Dree Elle look kind of weird in the first one. XP

I’m one of those people that headcanon Trollans wearing wedding earrings, plus I kind of have a headcanon that Trollans always wear earrings (if they wear them) in pairs--save the wedding ones, because one earring goes to each spouse because the couple are a pair themselves. However, I implemented that for the AU and not the Filmation verse because OG Orko looked kinda weird wearing an earring. 

And here are my fankids, Eddym and Nyxie. Despite having only made two, I actually imagine Orko and Dree Elle having a bunch of kids, I just haven’t come up with any others (well, I do have an idea of the youngest being a little boy named after Orko’s uncle). I end up imagining others’ Orko/Dree Elle fankids as placeholders. 

There’s something about Orko being a dad that’s kind of addicting. 

(Note to self: Draw more of Dree Elle being a mom.)

Drawing Ed in two different styles.

Honestly, Nyxie in the AU style is not much different from the Filmation style.

I dunno, I just wanted to draw a moment like this between them. 

I dunno, I just wanted to draw Protective Father Orko. 

You don’t hurt baby Ed. You just don’t. 

There’s no doubt in my mind that Trollan toddlers would be resistant to hiding their faces. Eddym was especially bad with this, since Auntie Teela thinks he’s adorable, so he keeps showing off his face for her. Orko and Dree Elle had a heck of a time trying to be patient with their son (and Dree had a hard time resisting that little boy’s smile) and teaching him about the sacredness of Trollan faces. 

“Apa” = “Dada”. Orko cried the first time Ed called him that. 

Have a grown up Ed and Nyxie... well, for the AU. I’ve yet to come up with a good design for the Filmation-verse versions, because squishing these to OG Orko’s size... honestly doesn’t work out that well. ^^;

I’m also undecided about Ed’s title when he’s an adult. 

An Old Orko giving advice to his uncertain-about-whatever-situation-this-is son.

And that concludes the family hour, and this long-as-heck post. Hope you had fun, and I’ll see you on the next post. Ta-ta! 

[emperorsfoot]

All right. In response to the "How About We Do the Ships Thing", let's hear your opinions on MOTU.

*vibrates with excitement*

Whispers: That's the fandom I was hoping for.

otp - I don't have ONE true pair, I have two true pairs: Keldor/Lyn, and Trap Jaw/Tri-Klops. Please don't make me choose between them.

favorite canon pairing - Keldor/Lyn. FOR THE DRAMA!

worst pairing ever - Adam/Skeletor. Yes, even in the continuities where they're not uncle and nephew. I get that everyone loves the "enemies to lovers" trope, but I only like it when they're on equal footing. But even when you change Skeletor's backstory to remove the incest, Adam and Skeletor STILL aren't on equal footing. There's still a significant age difference between them. If people are gonna cry and scream that Skeletor is "too old" for Evil-Lyn, then guess what! HE'S ALSO TOO OLD FOR ADAM WHO IS YOUNGER THAN LYN!

guilty pleasure pairing - Skeletor/Hordak, again, for the drama.

a pairing you want to see more - honestly, any pairing that doesn't involve Adam. Duncan/Sorceress, Randor/Marlena, Keldor/Lyn, Kronis/Evelyn, etc.

that pairing everyone likes but you’re like “lol no” - Lyn/Orko. I like them as friends, but I don't like them as romantic partners. After Skeletor, I think Lyn needs to be on her own and unattached for a while before she gets into another romantic relationship.

favorite non-romantic pair - Lyn & Orko <3

[kirinda-ondo]

Aight I mentioned I had some actual Orko family headcanons so lemme just haphazardly drop these bad boys

Montork raised Orko since he was itty bitty. I feel like Orko's parents were probably pretty powerful mages in their own right, and before going off on some important mission to help protect Trolla, they left Orko with Montork for a bit having every intention to come back, but they just... didn't. Like they succeeded in their mission, but either died or disappeared in the process (nobody's sure and I personally would wanna keep the option open for potential plot reasons). Bravery does run in the family, after all. In any case, whatever their fate, Orko doesn't remember a thing about them, but at this point in his life he's pretty okay with that.

That said, if they were around, I feel like Orko's parents would have really cool and powerful vibes, but like once they actually start talking, you realize they're just absolutely massive dorks lol. I also don't think they'd be disappointed in him at all, they'd be quite the opposite actually, just downright embarrassingly proud of their little baby boy lmao

There was a line in the Marvel Star comics implying Montork has frequent contact with Orko's mom (who I guess in that canon does in fact exist but is just kinda distant?) so I'm rolling with the idea they were siblings and he's the uncle on her side of the family.

Montork being Orko's favorite uncle implies the existence of a least favorite uncle. Do with this what you will.

Either due to just his generally easygoing nature or because of a sense of guilt about Orko having lost his parents, I feel like Montork probably kinda spoiled him a bit and tended to just let him get away with stuff, which would also at least partially explain a lot of Orko's current tendency to just... do things, consequences be damned.

But also like the whole "not having to clean his room" thing? That's not a Trolla Thing, that's just a Montork's House Thing. So long as Orko kept the mess contained to his own room and didn't get buried in stuff, he probably didn't fight him too hard about it after seeing how utterly impossible it would be to do so. After all, you don't have to worry about stepping on or tripping over stuff if you just float lmao. And if it bugged him enough Montork would probably just straighten up a bit himself anyway.

Bathtime on the other hand was non-negotiable don't listen to Orko about water not touching his body he's a LIAR and Montork can and WILL tell you CHRONOLOGICALLY every time he ever had to drag him into the bath kicking and screaming lmao

Montork being head of the Trollan Academy of Magic probably unintentionally gave Orko a good deal of unnecessary anxiety. That's an awfully big hat to fill and of course he doesn't want to make his favorite uncle look bad! Montork literally wouldn't have cared one way or the other about that just so long as Orko did his best, and there were likely many, many late night conversations assuring him of this. But y'know, that kind of anxiety is hard to turn off, and it probably was a pretty big motivating factor outside of having a generally strong interest in magic for Orko getting as good at magic as he is. It's one of the many reasons he's so desperate to prove himself to him in that one episode.

Montork probably does brag a lot about Orko to other people, but not a word about him being Orko the Great. Not out of any kind of fear or secrecy or anything, he's actually quite proud, but because he sees that boy's emotional complex about magic from a million miles away and is not about to go making it worse by hyping him up like that lmao. That's why he's always emphasizing the importance of the person over the magic to Orko, even if he greatly prides himself on his own magical ability.

But yeah unless you were in the know already, talking to Montork you would probably have no idea his sweet little nephew Orko working all the way in Eternia was fucking Orko the Great and not just someone who happens to share the same name. (given the names of assorted concept Trollans, names ending in -orko are pretty common, i.e. Dorko, Zorko, and Korko, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility--)

Then again, it's probably for the best, as Montork has very likely also shared a lot of funny stories about Orko with his students and if Orko knew what all they knew he'd probably die if they ever put two and two together--

Meanwhile the minute Montork comes up in conversation Orko is just out here like "YEAH THIS IS MY UNCLE MONTORK HE'S THE BEST MAGICIAN EVER AND ALSO THE HEAD OF THE ACADEMY OF MAGIC AND ALSO TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW" Like he could become an actual god and still hype the hell out of his uncle lmao

As has been previously discussed, they're a VERY affectionate little family. Orko takes it up to 11 on his own obviously, but get the two of them together and they get very sappy, doesn't matter who else is there. Neither of them find this even a little embarrassing. That said I think that kind of environment combined with general emotional immaturity contributes a lot to Orko's lack of emotional object permanence on Eternia, as they're not nearly as blatant in their affections. Like how is he supposed to feel loved if you don't explicitly tell him you love him?

[whymustablogbenamed]

There is a tiny detail in Orko's favorite uncle, when Tauron is summoning, during the resulting storm, Orko keeps blinking (oddly, with sound effect), and even reacts a bit slower to Adam and Cringer leaving for shelter, and after they are in the cave, it's small, but Orko clearly shakes. Not sure, but maybe they tried to hint that Orko feels this storm is similar to what pulled him from Trolla and it scares him?

Yeah, just watched the scene, heacanon accepted. They clearly animated him as being at least doubtful/hesitant about the storm, although I doubt they were intentionally referencing the cosmic storm.

And speaking of that, you'd think Orko might be inclined to fear storms considering being brought to Eternia sounds like it would be traumatic, but none of the canons have really touched on that much. I could see him being at least a little anxious or having trouble sleeping when it's thundering outside.

Monster: Bogel and Weerd (Henceforth known as B&W), Werewolves, Amalgamation of the 13 Ghosts

Interests: Gosh I still love that chest design. Mystery *Flying* Machine. Shaggy is flying, they were aiming for Hawaii, end up over the Himalayas. I remembered Shaggy’s redesign, forgot Daphne got one too... it is not good. Daphne and Scrappy to to land their crashing plane . A very eastern european town in the middle of the Himalayas. Show really wants you to know what kind of character Flim Flam is, with both the name and a Music Man reference. Flim Flam is selling Lotsa Luck Joy Juice. Removes unwanted curse, jinxes, and evil spells (but not the wanted ones I guess). Also great rocket fuel and dandruff remover. The 13 Ghosts cursed this town to turn into werewolves every night. Townsfolk don’t want faux-gang 3.0 to leave with this knowledge? So they try to force the gang to stay. A vampire named Ghoulio sings a song. Daphne drinks a mug of the house special ... freshly squeezed wolf’s bane... (Okay pause. Squeezing a flower for juice? Also... super poisonous. Also ... WHY ARE WEREWOLVES DRINKING IT? BANE! TO CAUSE STRESS, HARM, OR RUIN TO! I don’t know why this has tilted me so much, I need a break) “That’s the stuff that turns people into werewolves” No Scrappy. No it isn’t (I need another break... came back for exactly two sentences) Vampire turns into a werewolf, whole bar turns into werewolf, including Daphne. Flim Flam’s juice cured Daphne of her werewolfness; Shaggy and Daphne hug. (After getting to the temple the sky is blue, but the towns people are still werewolves) Flim Flam juices some townsfolk, even an ox was werewolfed. Years ago, the townsfolk are the ones who locked the 13 ghosts away. B&W puts on a Lets Make Em Squeal show, which is Scooby and Shaggy’s favorite. Trade in a new car for their Mystery Flying Machine, a doggy dreamhouse, or THE BOX! (Lets see whats in the box. Nothing! Stupid! You are so stupid!) 

Episode 2: Scoobra Kadoobra

Monster: Maldor the Malevolent, Trees, Dragon, Rat Guards

Interests: Also forgot that the Mystery Machine is gone and replaced with bland gadgety red van. Chest has a seat belt on. Faux-gang 3.0 is approching Maldor the Malevolent, master of black magic from the Dark Ages, he seeks the Wand of... Zaggraz? to amplify his magic so he can rule the world. Wand looks like a spoon, and is located in the castle of princess Esmerelda. Maldor looks like a warp digivolved version that one He-Man character, (Orko, had to look it up). Scooby and Shaggy decide to have a picnic in the middle of a haunted forest, instead of staying i nthe van. They both eat a chicken leg and fix a sandwich. A wet crystal ball can short circuit. Giant inflatable duck makes a return from last episode. Sing-a-long of Row Row Your Boat in Scooby’s speech pattern. A lot of 4th wall breaks from Vincent. Rabbit transformed into a dragon. Dragon breathes fire and... SPECIAL EDITORIAL FROM THE SCOOBY DOO SHOW. Shaggy is a news anchor. Scrappy is reporting from the Department of Television No Nos, interviewing Loretta Cutitout. She cautions about the fire in the last scene. Scrappy presses her saying she hates dragons. Dragon is crying, Scrappy continues to say she wants to the poor dragon to be out of work. (wait.. is the voice of Maldor Peter Cullen? IT IS!) Zaggraz: “There is no way out of here” Flim Flan “Have you tried the exit?” *camera pans over to a door the two large Exit signs, one flashing saying This Way Out* *Zaggraz takes off and cleans his glasses* “ I never noticed that before” The party gets separated, Scooby and Shaggy land in the kitchen and deside now is a good time to make Scooby-Doo Stew. Scooby sings part of the intro from New Scooby Movies. Scooby uses the want to stir the stew, Causing animals to jump out of the stew, and when Scooby taste test causes his head to change to a bunch of different animals.Daphne gets capture. “Spell of darkness. Trance so deep. Now and forever sleeEEEEEEeeeEEEEP” Scooby and Maldor have a wizard battle. Scooby-Doo Where Are You. The sleep spell can only be broken by a great danish prince “Hey my uncle Scooby is a great dane!” ... What do you think you are Scrappy? Princess Esmerelda was also a great dane, with a speech pattern like Scooby, she chases Scooby as the episode ends. 

Episode 3: Me and My Shadow Demon

Monster: Shadow Demon, Griswold (A giant spider), Queen Morbidia, Monsters of The AFLCIM.

Interests: Shadow demon breaks a cystal ball in Vincent’s house. Faux-gang 3.0 have a specter detector, Coal Mine is loaded with ectoplasm. Shadow Demon steals the chest, which is bad because tonight the powers of darkness will be at their strongest ever, strong enough to destroy the chest. They must travel to the foot of Bald Mountain to Befuddle Manor. Scooby, Shaggy sing Me and My sHadow Demon. AFLCIM: Associated Federation of Crazy and Irresponsible Monster, so irresponsible and crazy they throw in an L that doesn’t stand for anything. Queen Morbidia looks like a cross between Lily Munster and Elvira (.. actually Elvira wouldn’t have been a thing yet? It is only 85 and think that was a late 80′s thing?) Shadow Demon isn’t with Queen Morbidia. Jail cell with massive space between the bars. Shadow Demon saves Scooby. Faux-gang sing Goodnight Ghoulies in an effort to delay for the sun to rise (I can’t quiet figure out what melody this is, I am a dumb. Kinda sounds like Oh Susana?) Scooby holds final note till the sun rises and Queen Morbida turns into just a pile of her clothes, that is put in the chest. 

Episode 4: Reflections in a Ghoulish Eye

Monster: B&W, Mirror Demon

Interests: Vincent sent a telegram, instead of just normal crystal ball. Scooby-Doo is famous. Paranormal Convention. Oh the telegram was faked by B&W. A mirror eats a maid. Scooby-Doo Where Are You. Faux-gang 3.0 must find the Amulet of... Ishkabibble? Flim Flam sings a song. Two more people get sucked into the mirror. Faux-gang 3.0 sing Auld Lang Syne to trick someone into thinking it is New Years, while in reality it is June. Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby are sucked into the mirror, it is very M.C. Escher. The Amulet opens a portal that spits everyone back out. Unnamed Mirror Demon gets suck into a vacuumed and the mirror melts. Reprise of the earlier Flim Flam song. 

Episode 5: That's Monstertainment

Monster: Zomba, Frankenstein’s Monster

Interests: It is 2am, Daphne decends from the stairs in a robe, rest of faux-gang 3.0 are up watching a scary movie. Tonight’s move on Spine Tingling Movies is The Son of the Bride of the Ghost of Frankenstein. Scrappy’s favorite movie, Flim Flam’s too. Everyone gets zapped into the movie. Zomba eats some popcorn. Frankenstein and Egad pass their roles over to Scooby and Scrappy because they are sick of doing this over and over. Gotta heat up the crystal ball. Daphne is the bride of Frankenstein’s monster, but also the fiance of Frankenstein? Shaggy is the lawman. Dog version of Frankenstein’s Monster. They overheat the crystal ball’s mystical fluid, causing massive explosions, trapping the Monster. Monster asks for help and Scooby eats some Scooby Snacks (again spelled Scooby Snax) and the Popeye theme plays and a spinaches effect happens. Monster now calls Scooby momma. Zomba’s spell was broken when she got boxed. The Monster follows them into the real world. 

[subternia]

Did you know that in season 2 episode 3 of revelation that right before the government mandated heterosexual kiss scene they actually cut straight to a 24 minute episode break of the return of orko's favorite uncle? Did you know that it's possible orko may be an only child? Have your eyes experienced childlike wonder?
