"By the Power of Grayskull, I HAVE THE TOOOUUUCH!!!" - He-Mech

Here's a thing that I'm miffed doesn't happen more: a Crossover of Transformers and Masters of the Universe!

With his Sword of Leadership, He-Mech protects the world of Cyberternia from the evil forces of Skeletron

This was a blast to make and I hope you all like it~

He-Man & She-Ra fanfic: She-Ra’s new form: 1/1/2023: by Hero Central:

Hi guys hero central here with the first pic of the new year, something towards my future He-Man 2022 & She-Ra crossover fan fiction. The new master from She-Ra will take on in the story and a new sword once its connection to Grayskull is re established. Along with new powers.

"I had a sword this whole time!?"

will still always be the funniest line in all of the new Masters of the Universe. and its in the first episode. yeah, the show did have other funny moment and one-liners, but nothing ever topped that. they literally had their best moment in the first episode

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

FUN FACT: I SPENT A TOTAL OF $120 BETWEEN THESE TWO COMICS -- TRUE STORY!!

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on THE greatest Skeletor cover of the entire 1980s decade (IMHO), cover art to "Masters of the Universe" Vol. 1 #12. March, 1988. Star Comics (a Marvel Comics subsidiary). Cover artist unknown.

PIC #2: The flipside to the Skeletor cover -- Cover art to "MOTU" Vol. 1 #13. May, 1988. Star/Marvel Comics. Artist unknown.

Resolution at 1000x1527 & 996x1524.

Anyway, I've been completely obsessed by this Skeletor cover ever since I first laid eyes on it many years ago, and I just couldn't pass up owning the shit when I found it for $80 on eBay a few years back. Didn't even think twice about it, I just bought the shit no questions asked! As for the He-Man cover, that one ran me a bit less, at $40 flat, but it was the proberbial Yin to Skeletor's Yang, so, I absolutely needed to complete the "set," so to speak.

Adora & Catra in the Sims 4!

For the honor of Gayskull Grayskull! I wanted to add more of my favorite animated characters to my personal Sims 4 world and decided that the save file didn't have enough chaos in it so Adora & Catra were born. I really like how both of them came out but especially with Catra as I had to make ALOT of her stuff myself to fix her canonical design. I tried my best to replicate her feline features like her tail and her ears but when it comes to cat ears in the sims you can only make them sit at a certain angle on the model and sometimes it doesn't always fit with the character you are trying to make but that's ok! As always if anyone has any sapphic character/couple recommendations let me know! As of now these sims are not for download but I guess in the future if people really want them I could put them up for download. I will try and include as many downloads down below as I can but if you are looking for a specific item that is not listed fill free to yell at me for it.

Episode 29

Oh dang so Yichen knew right from the get go that Zhao Yuanzhou had taken the scale out of the box.

Exactly this!!

(And he's gonna be stuck in that danger whilst you guys all stand around having a leisurely conversation about this!)

Pretty sure he wants it for you girl...

Will you PLEASE go fucking rescue Ying Lei?!!

Oh wait what? Bai Yan kept the baize token?

Well how the fuck did that happen? Did Li Lun do it during the brief time he had possession of it?

Ooooh so they didn't kiss in the previous ep, it was just a forehead touch... and sneaky Zhao Yuanzhou used it as a chance to do a quick health check on her...

Oh shiiit that don't sound good?

So now we have yet another dilemma! Restore the sword (and save Bai Jiu)... or save Wen Xiao?

Oh fuck, of course... she needs them to restore the sword to save her son...

Oh. Fair do's, I did her an injustice...

Oh fuck yeah... that is NOT a power that you want Li Lun to have control of...

Ugh Zhao Yuanzhou's faaaaace.... 😭

All this time she's been worrying about everyone else dying - Zhao Yuanzhou, Zhou Yichen, Bai Jiu... and it turns out she is the one who is going to die first...

I feel like it needs to be pointed out here... to Li Lun in particular... that it's Bai Jiu's body that is poisoned. If he doesn't want to die... he could move to another, non-poisoned, body. Sure, Bai Jiu's body was the perfect type of body for him, with him being descended from a tree god etc, but like... anything's better than dead, right? If Ao Yin really was willing to die to save him, he could put his core in her and possess her?

God damn Li Lun, you're a self-pitying fuck. You literally did all of this to yourself...

Oh righto, fucker's planning to go out in a blaze of glory...

Every previous baize goddess has taken on an apprentice to pass the torch onto though haven't they? She hasn't. Maybe she should, before it's too late.

Love how the minute they've got a confirmed diagnosis she is suddenly deteriorating/showing symptoms...

Fair point girl.

Yeah and it also chose YOU dumbass, didn't it?!!

YESSSS RIP THAT FUCKING CONTRACT UP!!

(Then kiss, damn you)

😭

Welp, you're dying anyway girl, might as well ride that demon while you still can.

So surprise surprise it was fucking Wen Zongyu behind it all again. Ugh I hate this guy so much.

So... lemme guess... he can cure her... if you give him Zhao Yuanzhou's core?

Oh so Wen Xiao and Bai Jiu are poisoned with the same thing?

BINGO

Problem is, if you offer that solution to Zhao Yuanzhou, he WILL fucking offer up his core to save Wen Xiao. You know it.

Oh fucking hell, we ALSO need Zhao Yuanzhou's core to fix the fucking sword. Jfc, can the gang ever get a break?

Is there a single fucking dilemma in this show where the solution is NOT Zhao Yuanzhou needs to die?

Oh fuuuck so they can use the ever-burning wood without killing Zhou Yuanzhou... but it will leave him weak and unable to use his power for a while.

That sounds like an excellent whump scenario to me, bring it on!!! 😁

(Also though... will using the ever-burning wood for this purpose like... use it all up? Cos that's the only reason Wen Zongyu even wants the core, right?)

BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!!! 😂😂😂

Oooohhhh....

He's such a little shit. I love him so much.

He's crushing jade for him?

My fucking heart....

SINCE I CHOSE TO BE YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND

FUCKING KILL ME NOW

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKING ZIJI. THEY FUCKING WENT THERE!!

Yeah nice thought but that ain't gonna happen is it

This is sounding awfully like goodbye, Zhou Yichen. Like you are thanking him for everything he's done for you before... before...

God the fucking affection in the way he looks at Zhou Yichen

Thank you for your... life-saving grace? As in... giving up your life to save Wen Xiao?

I fucking KNEW IT!!!

Oh GOD he just opens his arms to let him do it....

Ohhhhh fuuuuck did he manage to draw the ever-burning wood from Zhao Yuanzhou's core into the sword? Cos that's what Wen Zongyu actually wants. not the core itself...

Oh well that makes it all SO much better Zhao Yuanzhou!!!

BUT HAVE ANY OF YOU ever fucking stopped to wonder WHY he wants the ever-burning wood and what he intends to do with it?

Cos he has straight up admitted his plan is to destroy ALL demons. And it's a pretty sure bet that he needs the ever-burning wood for that exact plan.

Like... I know you want to save Wen Xiao and Bai Jiu but please.. a little critical thinking here?

Personally I'd want to try out the antidote and make sure it fucking works before I'd give him shit!

Of course Ao Yin fucking appears and swipes the antidote.

Well, Wen Zongyu made the antidote, he can fucking make more. Snatch that ever-burning wood back and make him come back with more.

Ah yeah, stab that fucker! Damn right Yichen!

Meanwhile... you've left Ao Yin unsupervised with the precious antidote on the ground near her...

Well that was stupid! Couldn't happen to a more-deserving fellow though... Bye bye Wen Zongyu, you were the worst.

Will you PLEASE go get the antidote instead of just standing there watching the dude burn up?!!

Aaaand it's empty anyway. Surprise surprise the fucker double-crossed 'em.

Yeah I had a feeling that would be the case.

Oh here we go... so who's gonna volunteer to save Wen Xiao? Zhao Yuanzhou or Zhuo YIchen? Ao Yin will definitely volunteer to save Li Lun.

There she goes.

Why did Li Lun suddenly collapse though?

So. End of ep 29 and the Chongwu camp bad guy is dead and along with him, hopefully, his plot to kill all demons. The Cloud Light Sword is restored and you've got an unconscious Bai Jiu/Li Lun right there so tie/lock that bad boy up and you can sever his primordial spirit and save Bai Jiu as soon as Zhou Yichen gets back.

That just leaves the thorny issue of which demon is gonna sacrifice themself to detoxify Wen Xiao...

Hi :3 I noticed your pfp and description and I just wanted to say I also love Glimmer and it's nice to see someone else who does :D

(I know it's my own fault for getting exposed to a lot of Glimmer hate since I made her do morally dubious stuff in my fic but oh well ^^`)

I hope you have a nice day :3

I love Glimmer - including when she does morally dubious stuff :-)

She's such an multifaceted character. On one hand, she's a fundamentally good person who will try her very best to do what's right. On the other hand she has a thirst for power and a willingness to let the end justify the means. That little whispered "for the honour of grayskull" when they first found the sword speaks so much about her character.

Glimmer rocks :-)

Chinese dramas may have censorship… but they also the Ruoyi Sword Dance.

In which a beautiful girl runs her fingers down a man’s blade, like the entire length of his shaft, then coyly says “you’ve got a good sword”… proceeds to lead him into an intricate floaty dance in front of a large crowd… which inspires her ex boyfriend to start playing zither to accompany them… which inspires an old scholar sword deity dude to jump in with the flute… which inspires their repressed martial arts bestie to leap on the rooftop and bust out some poetry. The whole thing ends with our dancing swordsman holding up his erect sword to the sky (like He Man channeling the power of grayskull), it bursts into a magnificent display of magical qi and flower petals and our girl looks pleasantly spent.

The crowd murmurs in awe, too stunned to clap or cheer cause… I mean… should you?

The dancing couple have publicly consummated their relationship. I consider them married at this point.

As if to second the motion the old scholar sword deity tosses his flute and comes down to officially congratulate the two. He even gives them both wedding gifts.

Like… I can’t make this stuff up. I wish I could, cause I’d be churning out wuxia novels.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe minicomic: Double-Edged Sword

[therobotmonster]

My Cults.3d Store Is Open!

Shapeways may be dead, but my designs aren't!

I'm going to be uploading them for printing as test prints are completed.

For now, the first batch is new stuff:

Test prints by Good Morning Cybertron's Blunghole, thanks blung!

I'm launching with a 5-pack of Wacky Weapons with 4mm (Masters of the Universe / Turtles of Grayskull / WWEternia / nearly every other figure between 5.5" and 6") grips!

The weapons include:

Pizza Gutter

Manhole Cleaver

Dire Hyrant

Sewer Scepter

The Rattleshank Sword (based on the Sewer Sword roleplay toy (see below)

Each a blend of MOTU barbarian swagger and good old fashioned Turtle Power, perfect for those Turtles of Grayskull figures, Skeletor's latest scheme, and fun in general.

STLs available individually for $2.50 each, or the set of 5 for $9.

I'm going to be uploading more accessories for MOTU, Transformers, TMNT and just about everything else as I go, with figures, vehicles, and even riding beasts to follow.

If you don't do the 3d printing thing but still want to help out, I've got a paypal.me here, or you can grab me something off my wish list here.

Also, trying a new thing where anything I get off the wish list will result in a sort of 'dealer's choice' design associated with said item going up in the store. if you got me the thing, you get the inspired-by .stl. Process is spoon-dependent.

Karen LaCroix + Donnelly Lifts Dark Cacao’s Sword (CRSL)

I decided to make some Cookie Run Sugar Linkage art to celebrate the release of Tower of Adventures and the new Dark Cacao update!

First up is Karen LaCroix, the Linker of Cream Soda Cookie in Linked Form!

She’s a high schooler and someone who just oozes inspiration when it comes to her fellow students. And she always never asks to speak to the manager- we can get behind that!

Here’s her Civilian Form, btw. I made it in Picrew.

Anyways, the 2nd pic is to celebrate the new update for Kingdom, and it’s Donnelly finally pulling out Dark Cacao’s sword as the final test of his training regime.

And yes, I did pull off a He-Man/By The Power of Grayskull for this pic.

And if you’re asking, “Why does he look like Samurai Jack?”, it’s because this is after he got home from a disastrous Korea trip (It was for work) and he had to do a massive training regimen if he wanted to get back in shape. And this is before his wife, Kiera, gave him a much needed clean shave.

She-ra (2018) Official Merch

I've made a loooong post about She-ra merch and its weirdness, but I wanted to summarize it in the most comprehensive list of official merch for the 2018 Netflix reboot that I could assemble. I'm sure I've missed some stuff, though, so I'll update this if I find anything. Thanks to everyone who contributed, especially Clare and Tippen.

I did deep dives (with pictures and details) on con exclusive and promotion exclusive merch. Basic info on those is included below the read more of this post.

Everything with [L] at the end of its bulletpoint - or an * inside one - has a photo in the long post. I provided links to official photos/listings when possible, but most of them are defunct.

Pins/Accessories/Clothing (active):

A bunch of jewelry (necklaces, rings, earrings) and enamel pins from Han Cholo (+ one iron-on patch). I've seen resellers claim the chibi pins were exclusive to a convention, but they're up on the website. The long post* has pictures of these if they ever go down, and the actual convention-exclusive ones can be found in the con post.

Amazon print-on-demand clothing (+ tote bags and pop sockets) with a lot of different designs that are hidden on the site but still purchasable, see this post for details, and here's the direct link. Once you find a design you like, you can search its name in the regular search bar (for instance, there's a shirt design called "Power Stripes Catra," for that one you have to search just "Stripes Catra") to see all the kinds of items it comes on, usually a variety of tops/outerwear, maybe a tote, and sometimes pop sockets.

Bioworld also had licensed merch, but some designs are hidden on their store page, so the link shows everything available but includes both the reboot and the 80s original. As of writing, they have one lunchbox, two adult t-shirts, one adult crop top, and two youth shirts for the reboot.

Media (active):

A DVD of just the first three seasons (there's a box sleeve version that includes stickers and it's never clear in listings if this is the only version and they just don't show the sleeve or if they're two separate things). This is still for sale at multiple retailers, but there's no way we're ever getting a full boxset.

There were a couple of books: the Rebel Princess Guide, the Legend of the Fire Princess graphic novel, and then some small "novels." These are still available at multiple retailers, but the novels weren't made by the crew and at least some of these contradict basic facts from season one, so they're less canon than many fanfics despite being licensed.

Everything from this point on is out of production and only available via resale.

Toys/Figures (defunct):

Eight fashion dolls. The line had Adora, Glimmer, Bow, Catra, and She-ra (season one version), Battle Armor She-ra (2-pack with a model of Swift Wind featuring their Battle of Bright Moon looks), and a deluxe She-ra & Shadow Weaver 2-pack (SDCC 2019 exclusive). These dolls were supposed to be Target exclusive, but the rollout was botched and now they're collectors' items. There were also four cancelled dolls that were supposed to be part of the line.

Two Super7 action figures in a Catra & Adora 2-pack with limited articulation. They're rare collector's items too, though this time it's just because they were a limited run. [L]

A plastic toy Sword of Protection and shield sized for children. The sword lit up and said "For the honor of Grayskull!" when you lifted it. The gem was semi-transparent and had a picture of She-ra under it. This was a Target and Amazon exclusive (Mattel & Target are always holding hands 🤝). [L]

Clothes/Dress-up/Accessories (defunct):

Four licensed She-ra costumes (season one version) of varying quality: a Target-exclusive one in limited sizes, one from Disguise in a wider range of sizes, one from Party City (as well as a wig and Sword of Protection prop licensed under Classic Media) for children, and one from Rubie's Costume Company (with a season one Catra costume to match, as well as separate accessory packs and wigs for both characters) that was also available at Party City. [L]

Her Universe used their Netflix license to make three shirts, two jackets, an earring set, and a wallet. Photos in the long post* if these links go down (they are discontinued, after all). Bioworld (remember them?) are actually the producers of the earrings with their name rather than Her Universe's branding being found on the backing card.

Hot Topic made a few shirts (like, three. I don't have the primary link for the third design). [L]

Misc (defunct):

Zaks Design-A-Tumbler, a plastic see-through drink tumbler with a sticker sheet provided so you can place the character graphics inside as desired. Features the key character art seen on most other merch for the Best Friend Squad as well as the sword, the moonstone, Swift Wind for the horse girls, and some random sparkles and hearts to fill space. It was available via Amazon and Walmart.

Comcanroll made a Sword of Protection keychain, also defunct. [L]

Beneath the cut are con exclusives and promotional items that were not for sale (at all, or at least by themselves) but that you can still probably hunt down online. Also... still available apps.

I can't believe this is real but there are two apps. She-Ra Stickers is available on iOS and Android and is exactly what you expect: "stickers" (pngs) to send in texting conversations. She-ra Gems of Etheria (also still available on iOS and Android) is a match 3+ game. It doesn't have micro transactions or ads (since, you know, the whole thing is an ad) so it's actually better than most things on the app store.

@tippenfunkaport also made a post about "digital merch" (backgrounds, printed papercrafts, etc) that Dreamworks posted online.

Promotion Exclusives:

I made a separate post for promo-exclusive merch. Things marked with an [L] still have photos in the long post, but photos are better gathered for all of these things in the promo-exclusive post, so please look at that one if any of these interest you.

Lootcrate/Lootwear made a pair of socks, a notebook, and a tumbler all featuring the season one She-ra silhouette. These were only available as part of their subscription service and not for individual sale. [L]

A Sonic kids meal tie-in that featured: magnets of the characters, funko-esque She-ra and Hordak figures, Swift Wind & Imp "straw buddies," and a small inflatable toy Sword of Protection. [L]

The following is promotional material that was never available to the general public:

A statuette of She-ra sent out to family bloggers to promote season four. Very limited due to the tiny production and being fragile. [L]

An equally rare metal lunchbox was sent out exclusively to influencers to promote season one.

Media press kits included a number of items that made it to the public as con-exclusives (see below for more details): collectors cards, buttons, and a foam tiara.

Stickers plugging the Dreamworks Careers' socials were also produced, likely for recruitment. [L]

Gray zip-up hoodies with a small sword on the front (pocket area placement) and a larger logo on the back were made for the crew and never available outside of Dreamworks.

A shirt featuring a graphic of She-ra riding Swift Wind with the She-ra logo in the corner - distribution & source currently unknown. Looks similar but is distinct from an existing Amazon POD design. Best guess is it was given out at an event (con, reviewer promo, employee event, etc), but I'm putting it here since I have no clue where it was from.

Con exclusives (defunct):

I made a separate post for con-exclusive promo items. Some of these still have photos in the long post, but photos and details about which cons they were available at and such are gathered in the con-exclusive post.

Button pin sets (4 sets, 4 buttons each) were at comic cons. These were possibly also available on Amazon for a time but I can't find confirmation on that beyond a backing card logo that could just mean the backing card itself was produced by Amazon. They aren't for sale now either way.

A foam She-ra crown and flat plastic/foam Sword of Protection, handed out at multiple cons.

She-ra socks designed after her uniform (including a cape on the back) seem to have been given out at cons. Photos are only in the long post* because they aren't good and I ran out of room.

There's a number of official poster designs that were handed out (mostly as mini posters) at cons, but most listings online are reprints.

Collector's cards were handed out at cons, probably SDCC.

Temporary tattoos, stickers, bookmarks, and coloring sheets were handed out at Power-Con (years unknown) and possibly other locations, likely those that sold the Scholastic books. [L]

A plastic shopping bag, made to be a disposable advertisement, exclusive to Anime Expo 2019. This one also don't have a photo in the con exclusive post because it's just one of the poster designs already in there, but there is a (wrinkly) photo in the long post*.

Profiles in Villainy Redemption

Catra

A feline humanoid from Etheria, Catra was orphaned in her early childhood and taken in by the sorceress known as Shadow Weaver.  Catra became a cadet in the ranks of the Evil Horde, serving Lord Hordak in his quest to conquer the realm and put down the Princess Rebellion. Although she was greatly skilled and shrewd, Catra’s oppositional nature acted as an obstacle in her obtaining the rank of Force Captain.  

Catra became close friends with her fellow cadet, Adora.  The two were inseparable and Catra harbored an unspoken love toward Adora.  As such, Catra was emotionally crushed when circumstances led to Adora’s defection from the Horde so to join the Princess Rebellion.  Appreciative of Catra’s abilities and passion, Hordak awarded her the rank of Force Captain and assigned her the task of capturing and returning Adora.  

Adora had unlocked the Sword of Grayskull and was transformed into She-Ra, The the Princess of Power.  Adora’s return to the Horde was a lost cause and Catra sublimated her broken heart by dedicating herself to an ambition goal.  She set in motion a series of schemes that would ultimately enable her to usurp Hordak as the ruler of the Horde.  

When Hordak Prime came to Etheria, however, Catra found herself rethinking her attitudes.  She aided She-Ra in ultimately defeating Hordak Prime. Herein Catra professed her love to Adora.  Adora felt the same toward Catra and the two became a couple as Etheria entered into a new era of peace.  

Catra’s tale was different in the original narrative of She-Ra.  In this earlier iteration, Catra was C'yra of D'riluth the Third, a powerful shapeshifter and priestess of the Magicats. Assuming the title of ‘Catra,’ C’yra acted as a Force Captain for Hordak.  Although an often loyal lieutenant to Hordak, Catra harbored ambitions of her own and sought to conquer Etheria by becoming Queen of The Magicats.  She was thwarted in this scheme by her bitter rival, She-Ra, The Princess of Power.   

Actress AJ Michalka provided the voice for Catra in She-Ra and The Princesses of Power; first appearing in the debut episode airing on July 18th, 2020.  Whereas actress  Melendy Britt voiced the villainess in the original She-Ra: Princess of Power; first appearing in the first episode, airing on September 9th, 1985.
