Recently redrew an old She-Ra and Catra piece I did a couple of years back. I redid a fair amount of the line work, fixing old issues and beefing up some proportions. Then I recolored the whole thing. It's kind of amazing to see how much my coloring has changed in just a few years and how much that affects the overall look and feel.

A Map of Etheria (and other details)

Hi everyone! If you've been following me for a while you would know I was working on a map of Etheria, but I never ended up finishing it.

Then, I noticed I was nearing 1,000 hits on my fic Alliance of the Heart, so I decided I would remake it and type up some things about each country.

Also, thank you to everyone who created the She-Ra Fan Wiki because it came in clutch for this map.

Anyway, here's my info dumping about my head cannons regarding the geographical features of each land.

Etheria

Etheria is a planet about the size of Venus located on the outskirts of the Eternian Solar System. Since it is so far away from the Ethernian sun, the planet is sustained by its moons and the magically created heat they give off.

Each moon gives off a certain temperature, so the different climates are based on what moons travel over the most.

Bright Moon

Bright Moon is the third largest kingdom in Etheria, but they are the richest. They are located in the middle of all the major countries, meaning they are a crossroad for trade among the kingdoms. They also possess the territories of Mystacor and the Whispering Woods.

The climate is temperate and is akin to a cool spring season. The country has mostly different types of forests and meadows with some rivers and lakes scattered around.

Salineas

Salineas is the second largest kingdom in the form of an archipelago. The northern part is cooler with more rocky beaches, and as you head south the area becomes progressively more tropical with sandy beaches. The country has some mountains in the valleys when you get inland, but the country is mostly flat.

The country is also located on a tectonic plate line, so whenever the weapon inside Etheria is fired, more islands are created.

The Kingdom of Snows

TKOS is the largest kingdom of Etheria and is almost completely covered in snow. Despite being the largest country, it has a population that is close to Scorponi. The people live mostly on the coast and in large cities.

Dryl

Dryl is a country that spans the largest mountain range on Etheria with a couple of clearings. Its population lives under the mountains in one of the Six "Systems" of Dryl, which are large, carved-out areas within and under the mountains, containing the homes and mines of Dryl. As of the beginning of the series, the Crypto Castle is the only structure on the surface.

The climate is relatively cool, with more snow as you travel further north. The area also has large patches of pine forests and other small shrubs and flowers.

Scorponi

Outside of the Fright Zone, which was the site of an ancient meteor crash, the kingdom of Scorponi is relatively dry. It's relatively flat with expansive planes, sparse forests, and a couple of canyons.

The Crimson Waste

The Crimson Waste is a desert area with large patches of cacti, rocky areas, and large canyons.

Plumeria

Plumaris is one of the small countries with the smallest population with most of the area consisting of agriculture, forests, and flower fields.

Another aspect is the territory they technically have a claim over is an area I created called The Out Fields, which is where the Watch Tower is located and where Hordak found Adora. It's a large, expansive area of tall grass.

The Unnamed Kingdom

The Unnamed Kingdom belongs to Spinnerella and Netossa, which used to be two before the girls got married. The kingdom has a climate similar to Dryl with its own Mountains and forests.

Sweet Bee and Peekablue's Islands

These are tropical islands out of the way of the other kingdoms, helping them stay out of the way of the war. They are considered humid by Etherian standards and are densely forested with many flowers and fruit trees.

The Star Sister's Island

This is a collection of islands similar to the Kingdom of Snows with a cold temperature and mountain terrain.

Beast Island

Beast Island is off the coast of Scorponi and used to be an information hub for the Eternians. As time went on, water damage corroded the tech, causing it to corrupt and branch out into the forest and create the virus affecting the island.

Conclusion

If anyone wants to use this map, please ask me (and maybe tag me because I want to see what you need it for). Also, you can adopt as many headcannons as you want, but I would like some sort of acknowledgment if you use my idea of the Outfields.

Also, if you made it this far, thank you for reading and your patience regarding me creating this.

FEMININE BUT NOT IN A BINARY GIRL WAY

juxera︰a gender relative to female, but is something separate and entirely on its own. for some, it can be strongly connected to or aligned with femininity without being woman aligned.

nymgirl︰an abinary girl, a person who identifies as a girl but in a way removed entirely from the gender binary.

neogirl︰a gender with a connection to femininity, but in a way that's largely different from how women are connected to femininity

neofeminine︰a gender with a connection to femininity, but in a non-traditional way, different from the way women and fiaspec people experience gender.

etheria︰a gender that is strongly connected to femininity, girlhood, and womanhood, but not in the same way as a human woman/girl would be connected to femininity, girlhood and womanhood.

Okay, so also, one of the things that truly got me into AU crafting and Warhammer40k in general is my own wild head cannon. U wanna hear it? Of course you do. Okay, here is something I totally believe is cannon and u can prove to me otherwise.

She-ra and the Princesses of Power takes place in the WH40k Universe!!!!!

Okay, so allow me to elaborate.

So first off, I was a Shera fan BEFORE I was a warhammer fan, but after I really started to get into warhammer, something clicked.

I was painting some of my first minis when, for background noise, I decided to throw Shera on for the umpteenth time. Then I started to notice it.

Shera is a Scifi x Fantasy series, so there is already a precedent for the two to flow well together. But then u start getting into the workings of Etheria's Archeo-tech.

So let's start with who settled Etheria. We see through holographic projections/recordings along with our two confirmed First Ones in the series (Adora and Mara) that First ones were clearly human or close to humans.

Suspending a little disbelief, and it's not too far a jump to claim that the First Ones were humans from the dark age of technology. Further proof is in the show how powerful and advanced First Ones' tec is! Also, it is extremely valuable as only two to three people can work/manipulate it properly. (Two of those three are hyper intelligent geniuses)

Let's move on to one of my bigger points, the portals.

During season three, Entrapta and Hordac work to get her to retrofit Hordac's tech with First One's tech. This taps into the planetary magic and the integrated (for lack of an in universe term) warp engine. Unfortunately the portal becomes unstable and fucks with time and reality.

Eventually, after removing the "key" from the portal, the planet returns to realspace.

Oh did I forget to mention that up until that point the entire planet and it's moons we're in a nebulous in-between dimension that could only be accessed by a cataclysmic event on the inside or a freak anomaly from the outside.

This then lends credence to my main argument/ claim Adora, She-ra, Princess of Power and guardian of Etheria is a primarch!

Febuwhump Day 18: living weapon

"You are She-Ra, Etheria's champion, appointed by the First Ones to protect our planet." "Once you balance the planet, all will be clear." "The Heart of Etheria... when the weapon is activated it will channel all it's power into you. You don't get to refuse."

The planet is a weapon and you are the key. You do not get a choice.

Seconde version (première après celle de l'ouverture)

Rejoignez-nous sur The Fall of a Kingdom qui s'est drapé de bleu pour les événements qui arrive très bientôt ♥

Scénario à découvrir ci-dessous

Nour est née quelques minutes avant Shirat, par un chaude nuit d’été dans la région de Helston. C’est le genre de personne qui se laisse emporter par le courant et qui s’adapte à tout et tout le monde. Ainsi, même si la vie familiale était difficile, Nour évoluait comme un poisson dans l’eau. Bien que jumelles, les soeurs Asghari ne pourraient pas être plus différentes. Elles ont passé leur jeunesse à être constamment comparées, ce qui a parfois insufflé un climat de compétition entre elles et une étrange jalousie malgré l'amour féroce qu'elles se portent.

Consciente du désir de sa sœur jumelle de fuir le bercail dès que possible, c’est Nour qui propose de partir à l’aventure en s’enrôlant à l’Académie des Chevaucheurs. Là-bas, Nour trouve sa place, sa vocation, alors que sa sœur a du mal à s’intégrer. Plus les années passent, plus le fossé se creuse entre Nour et Shirat. Nour tissera un lien avec un Étheria au cours de sa troisième année, et chaque nouvelle présentation aux différentes races d'Étheria est devenue d'une amertume insupportable aux yeux de Shirat qui en est venue à abhorrer le succès de Nour.

C'est sans un mot de félicitations que Shirat disparaît lors de la graduation de Nour. C'était il y a trois ans, et malgré ses lettres à l'Académie des Elementariste où Shirat a trouvé refuge, Nour n'est pas parvenue à rejoindre sa sœur depuis...

Caractère Les deux sœurs sont aux antipodes. Là où Shirat une femme discrète, solitaire, rancunière et colérique, Nour est pétillante, aimable, sociable et nonchalante. C'est une personne qui s'adapte facilement à son environnement et à ses interlocuteurs et qui parvient à se faire aimer de tout le monde. Ambitieuse et déterminée, Nour semble tout réussir avec aisance, mais en réalité, elle vit avec l'univers sur les épaules depuis toujours.

Le FC Golshifteh Faharani comme avatar, parce que j'aime bien sa bouille et qu'elles ont des traits physiques semblables. L'avatar est également négociable, mais je vous demande de vous restreindre à des faceclaims aux origines dans le moyen-orient pour un soucis de cohérence.

Résumé : jeune gradé de l'académie des chevaucheurs, lié à un Etheria (au choix) avec un ancrage (au choix) et une relation complexe avec sa jumelle.

Glimmer + Bow - She-ra and The Princesses of Power 2018

[thepastisalreadywritten]

At the end of the fourth century, a woman named Etheria made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Her journal, discovered in 1887, gives an unprecedented glimpse of liturgical life there.

Among the celebrations she describes is the Epiphany (January 6), the observance of Christ’s birth, and the gala procession in honor of his Presentation in the Temple 40 days later — February 15.

This feast emphasizes Jesus’ first appearance in the Temple more than Mary’s purification.

The observance spread throughout the Western Church in the fifth and sixth centuries.

Because the Church in the West celebrated Jesus’ birth on December 25, the Presentation was moved to February 2, 40 days after Christmas.

At the beginning of the eighth century, Pope Sergius inaugurated a candlelight procession.

At the end of the same century, the blessing and distribution of candles, which continues to this day, became part of the celebration, giving the feast its popular name: Candlemass.

Is Hunteela a thing? I guess it is now. In the comments section of a 12 year old fic, I somehow found my way into an impromptu round robin story with @cinder1013 . The Captain of Eternia's Royal Guard comes to Etheria looking to get her own back on Prince Adam for his salacious suggestion...and finds herself drawn to a fellow warrior from another world.

AI and the Dark Feminine: Unveil the Power of the Divine explores the profound intersection of artificial intelligence and the sacred feminine. This blog delves into the psychological, spiritual, and artistic dimensions of AI-generated art, focusing on themes of femininity, masculinity, and the dark sacred feminine. Through the lens of AI, we examine the shadow side of the divine feminine—the aspects of mystery, power, and transformation that often go unnoticed.

As we journey through the digital creation process, we seek to unveil the hidden depths of the psyche and the archetypes that shape our understanding of the feminine and masculine energies. This blog isn’t just about art; it’s about how AI can mirror and amplify the psychological truths within us, revealing both light and shadow.

Join us as we explore the untapped potential of AI to evoke emotional and psychological responses, pushing boundaries between machine and human creativity. Through this platform, we invite you to experience the alchemy of AI art and the divine feminine in ways that provoke thought, ignite creativity, and inspire transformation.

NOTE:

This blog draws inspiration from Etheria, also known as Egeria, one of the earliest female travel writers in history. In the 4th century, Etheria journeyed to Jerusalem, documenting her pilgrimage with rich detail and insight. Her writings are among the first recorded accounts by a woman, offering a unique perspective on spirituality, discovery, and sacred places. Like Etheria’s journey, this blog is a pilgrimage of sorts—into the sacred feminine, the psychological, and the power of AI art to reveal the unseen.

looking for label help!

my gender feels very masculine/male (im ftm btw if this is needed for anything) but in certain scenarios/on occasion i dont 100% identify as a guy, i feel more 95-85% male.

i dislike the label transmasc nonbinary and most other partial-boy genders (like demiboy or boyflux) and i dont necessarily feel genderless or inbetween identities if that makes sense? usually when i feel 'non-binary' its more 'creature'-like or animalistic leaning. i cant find any label that applies or feels right to describe my gender.

do you think you could help me? itd be very appreciated 🙏

(used ' ' as "sort of descriptors". i dont mean to sound rude by using them like that, i apologize if i come off that way!)

I am thinking maybe genderspike / spikegender ? Both meaning that youre usually one gender but occasionally feel a different gender intensively ! Then if its during certain scenarios then perhaps mutogender ? For the "creature-like or animalistic" part , I was thinking of maybe a gender neutral version of etherio / etheria but you might have to coin your own term for that !
