where would I start watching joe hills stuff? seeing your posts makes me kind of want to get into his videos
HELLO and WELCOME
Joe Hills is on youtube HERE.
I recommend watching his Hermitcraft season 9 videos since they're the most recent (and I'm watching them at the moment and they're a lot of fun!!). You don't really need to know any of the other folks on the server to enjoy them and you'll just kind of pick up the broader context through episodes. Unlike a lot of other smps theres not a huge amount of roleplaying or ~deep lore~ so it's easier to get into imo (though I'd advice watching the episodes chronologically anyway).
Joe is easily one of the funniest people I've ever seen anywhere in my life, a kind and thoughtful member of the community AND a talented and brilliant builder (they're building a massive scale model of a working pinball machine in survival minecraft based on the James Webb telescope images and it's insanely cool). They write haikus and share them at the end of their Hermitcraft episodes as patreon rewards. They dress as Beetlejuice on stream (the Beetlejhost) and every time they hit a tip milestone they make their facecam bigger. They pay their discord mods a living wage. They make puns and portmanteaus all the damn time and they're usually good. They're from Nashville, Tennessee. They're willing to kill for the LGBT+ community. They wear lime green cat eye prescription glasses and lime green fishnet fingerless gloves. They don't believe in monarchies. They do typography irl and also in Minecraft, and they're REALLY GOOD AT IT, which is impressive because typography in Minecraft is HARD. One time they spent many hours transporting four TMNT-themed frogs through all three Minecraft dimensions and it was the scariest most stressful thing I've watched in years.
They also stream twice(?) a week on youtube and twitch, one Minecraft stream where they make things on the Hermitcraft server and one arts n crafts stream where they make things in the irl fleshrealm real world, both with ZombieCleo (another minecraft youtuber I also love and highly recommend <3).
They also have a tumblr and a twitter where they are hilarious and brilliant in text form and reblog lots of neat fanart and such.
I also really like the unaffiliated tumblr account @joe-hills-said, which collects his many many many wonderful things he has said in videos and streams.
There's also this decade-old video of them doing minecraft 'cooking' based on the My Drunk Kitchen youtube series and it brings me much joy.
Hope this helps!! Vote Joe Hills for MCYT Sexyman!!!
#the amount of joy and peace and happiness I get from joe videos is unquantifiable#and I am more than happy to share this and spread the good word#also i'd really like them to win the competition it'd mean a lot#i think he deserves much more recognition and getting this much exposure to potential new fans and supporters would be pretty fucking cool#vote joe hills

I hope all the racist Percy Jackson fans eat a dick bc even Rick is on y’all’s asses. Y’all have been harassing a 12 yr old and have gotten both of her Tik tok accounts banned bc y’all cannot stomach the idea of annabeth being black. But guess what? She is and she’s here to stay. Read it and weep you racist pieces of shit.

Chris Rock deserved to get the shit slapped out of him for that tasteless ass joke. I’m not the biggest fan of Jada, but she did not deserve to be ridiculed like that over something out of her control and something that she has voiced her struggles with multiple times. I’m on Will’s side, idc what anyone non black has to say bc it ain’t about y’all.

I’m not one to judge people for wanting to sleep with fictional slasher characters like; Jason, Michael, billy& Stu, and whoever else. But I can’t be the only one who’s a little off put by the sudden surge of people who want to fuck the grabber from the black phone….Like correct me if I’m wrong about the things I’ve heard about the character but it’s odd that a child [redacted] is who some of y’all wanna fuck all of the sudden.

I’m going to TRY and do a live reaction(?) to the rottmnt movie. (Idk how I didn’t watch the show sooner but I’ve grown to love it, in the last week and half that It took me to watch it. and I hope that the show& the movie has been streamed enough for the show to get a third season) ANYWAYS I’ll start reacting in a second so wish me luck I guess

My #1 post of 2022
The ppl in stranger things stay treating Joyce like she’s crazy when she peep’s something weird is going on, but after what I’m guess is like 3 maybe 4 yrs of that bullshit you would think they would learn not to question her ass 😭 it’s like when has she ever been wrong?

Starlight's Weekly Finds 3/20-3/27
Hi! My name is Starlight and I want to push myself more to post more of what I like on my account, so what better way to do that then to throw all my niche interests in a post to encourage others to talk about them too! This newsletter will consists of a read, a music wrap, and a movie of the week. As this goes, I'll add more or less depending. thanks for tuning in this week and I hope you come back for the next.
Read of The Month
This week I'd finally gotten around to getting a digital library card from @queerliblib ! The Queer Liberation Library is a free digital library the is entirely comprised of books created by LGBT+ BIPOC authors. They have such a ride variety of audiobooks and scanned copies that I feel there's something for everyone. To apply for a library card is free, however please be mindful it may be a bit of a wait for your library card depending on when you apply. I was lucky and received mine within like a few days of applying. All info to learn more and to apply will be on the @queerliblib socials.
I'm currently reading Between Perfect and Real by Ray Stoeve. It follows a trans guy named Dean who is recently cast as a major male lead in a school play. The story follows how Dean navigates his transition while also juggling graduating school and making it to an acting school in New York. I'm about halfway through and I highly recommend.
Music Wrap of the Week.
Okay so this section alone will probably turn into it's own individual post at some point considering I finally am getting into KPOP. I'm focusing on girl groups right now and I've listened to ALOT this week. Here's only a few of my favorites from the week.
QWER: Secret Diary
youtube
Okay, I give. This first song is technically a band as opposed to a girl group. However, their music is so good I have to let it slide. Debuting on October 18 2023, QWER is a South Korean girl band consisting of 4 members(shown below). QWER is such an interesting Kpop group to me with the members pulling inspo and influence from American bands like Slipknot and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They bring something a little different that I really love.
Pictured left to right: Magenta(24), Hina(23), Chodan(25), and Siyeon(23).
XG: Winter Without You
youtube
The next on the list came as a pleasent surprise, because I didn't know I had heard a song from them before. You may know this 7 member group from their song Shooting Star, which is a great song, but just a little played out after the sped up version went viral on TikTok. Winter Without You leans more into the RNB aspect of the group's concept, and it makes me feel like Christmas should be here again. If you like modern holiday songs or were a big fan of Ariana Grande's album Christmas and Chill, this song was made for you.
Pictured left to right from top row to bottom: MAYA(18), Hinata(21), Juria(19), Harvey(21), Cocona(18), Jurin(21), and Chisa(22).
Loossemble- Real World
youtube
LOOSSEMBLE is a group that caught my eye from their single Sensitive, but Real World I feel is an underrated song on their debut album. Debuting September 15, 2023 LOOSEMBLE consists of 5 members(PICTURED BELOW). This is a new subdivision of the girl group LOONA, with some members also being from LOONA 1/3 respectively. Just like with my other recs this week, the whole debut album is a bop tbh. Honorable mention for Strawberry Soda track as well. I haven't really gotten in my LOONA bag just yet, but if it's anything like LOOSSEMBLE, I'm fully sat.
PICTURED LEFT TO RIGHT: Go Won(23) ,Hyeju(22),Hyunjin(23) ,VIVI(27), and Yeojin(21).
Movie of the Week : TMNT (2007 Film)
To say I'm a TMNT fanatic would be an understatment. No matter what gen TMNT is in, I can always find something to cherish about every form of content that been pumped out ofer the years. More praise should be given to this film as a whole. Yes at points the animation of the turltes can be a little.... jarring to say the least.
However, the storyline is so good I can overlook the jumpscare that is having to look at them during certain scenes. This is one of this first instances on screen prior to the Michael Bay films that I felt really allowed Leo to be more than just a leader to his brothers.
Leonardo in most depictions up until recent years was always shown as the levelheaded leader who rarely has a genuine spat with his team and if he does, it usually has to do with the stress from being a leader and not neccesarily with having to be a brother.
This film follows the turtles after Leo returns from what was supposed to be a few months' mission that turned into a year and him trying to recollect his team. You have Mickey and Donnie who are elated the Leo is home, while Raph carries on as though nothing has changed, almost mad that Leo had the gull to come back.
This boils over into a moving fight scene between Raph and Leo, but the difference from this onscreen arguments between the two than the ones at the time were that they allowed Leo to argue, even physically fight Raph but not as his leader. It was a his genuine brother. They allow Leo to get fed up and tired of Raph's attitude enough to give into the preconceived notion that Raph thinks Leo has about him. If you haven't seen it, I would make it a point to. Especially for this scene alone. Def a 5/5 in my book.
And that's a wrap! Thank you so much for reading my first put together blog post!

I forgot about LGBT TMNT week. Oh, well. October is ADHD awareness month, and Mikey is the poster child.
Wait, it’s LBGT TMNT week? COOL. *cracks knuckles* Headcanon: gray-asexual aromantic Leo, panromantic demisexual Don, aromantic pansexual Raph, gray-asexual demiromantic April, pansexual genderfluid neurogender demiboy Mikey, trysexual panromantic Casey. Games of Twister are fun. It took me a while to figure Raph out. To me, he’s not a bubbling cauldron of hormones as much as a nervous pupper needing solace. A reader once asked why Gaia and Raph only had sex in the astral plane since Raph was so physical, and I said that that the point - Raph didn’t want to hurt anyone, no matter how much Gaia assured him about her fibromyalgia and cerebral palsy. In the spirit plane they can be as kinky and intense as they want. “Apriltello” always made me feel weird precisely because I always see April as on the ace spectrum when not paired with Casey. The reason she was with Casey was because Kevin and Peter didn’t want her with a turtle and the turtles were most likely asexual themselves. But that was Mirage, in the 1980s, and it’s the late 2010s now. 2003, 2012, and IDW have shown that Donatello had a small crush on her. In my stories I very specifically ignored that in favor of pure platonic squishes, but I know it at least used to be there. In the “Cold Fire Rising” sequels where I introduce my pansexual OC who has my disabilities, I involve Mike and Don in a polyamorous triad with her. Since she’s a telepathic neuropsychologist who is really fucking open about love, therapy sessions involve sex. For Raph and Leo, it’s astral plane only for Reasons. I know people don’t read “CFR 3: Lightning Crashes”, but it’s important to the AU, even with the “OC has sex with all four brothers plus Karai” thing. Besides, the award-winning “CFR 4: Crossfire” might be a little confusing without it. So much comfort sex. Ah, shit, that reminds me. “CFR 5: Mind Games” will finally have Mikey come out as autistic after Gaia and her sister Rhea blatantly point it out after Mike helps Donnie with a thing and Gaia’s like, “Guys, he’s autistic as fuck how did you not realize this? Oh right, isolation underground.” I know he (and Don) are aut in “Mikey The Lifegiver” and “The Sunshine Child” but if I’m going to give my OC my disabilities, well, blah blah blah. Fanfiction AU allows for many liberties. Also I surprised myself with how much attention I’ve been giving Donatello in my fics outside of his relationship with Mikey. Donnie’s the fandom darling so I have my reasons for being so extremely Mikey-centric. But Donnie is growing on me as a point of view character. That means he’s in trouble.
#everyone is bi#pansexual mikey#genderfluid mikey#polyamorous mikey#cfr mind games#canon adhd#autistic headcanon#My oc has my disabilities#mikey and Donnie are healers together#donnie and mikey are geeky telepaths together#headcanon autistic#mikey the lifegiver#my fanfic#I have too many headcanons#donnie and mikey are cuties when donnie isn't yelling and mikey isn't pranking#lgbtmntweek#oc gaia#Gray ace leo

LGBT Headcanons /Orientations
part of Day 4 for @lgbtmntweek, I thought i’d give my headcanons for the turtles (since none of my plans really involve any of them this week) along with my headcanons for some other characters. Mostly 2012 stuff really
Leonardo
- Demisexual
- Appreciates aesthetic attractiveness but not big on a romantic relationship unless he feels he knows them
- Wishes he was a hopeless flirt like Mikey but turns out to actually be hopeless at flirting because he is A Mess™
- Thanks to the heteronormative romances with his childhood heroes growing up, Leo doesn’t consider a mlm relationship for himself an option until it’s too late and he realises he’s fallen for a guy. Cue double whammy of sexual identity questioning followed by an intermission of internal screaming
Raphael
- Greysexual
- Has zero understanding of relationship drama and hates when people come to rant to him about it. Highly likely to give terrible advice on purpose as a result
- Closet romantic who puts every ounce of energy into not crying during romcoms and period dramas
- Definitely did not make out with Casey that one night they got drunk.
Donatello
- Bisexual
- Transgender, which is a headcanon I have @onthespectrumwriting to thank for
- Started referring to himself as a boy as a toddler. Splinter found it odd at first but respected Donnie’s gender identity when he could see Donnie was serious about it
- Swears he wouldn’t touch Casey Jones with a 10ft pole. None of his brothers believe him
Michelangelo
- Asexual-Panromantic
- Hopeless flirt but pretty light-hearted about it (he’s a sucker for damsels in distress because then he gets to use his cool heroic one-liners)
- More frustrated than he is amused when his brothers fail at flirting (Leo what are you doing that was not flirting that was falling flat on your face)
- Does not get homophobia/transphobia and frankly doesn’t want to understand those people ever
April
- Bisexual
- Started to crush on Harmony until she realised this cute girl was actually the daughter of her friends’ sworn enemy
- Kind of traumatised that Irma turned out to be Subprime because she had a little crush on Irma
- Kind of crushed on Shinigami but then she flipped out and tried to kill her with her mind powers
- Bi and ready to cry from her bad impressions with girls
- Plays “Hot or Not” with Casey in their corner of the cafeteria
Casey
- Bisexual
- Bi Trash™ and ready to thrash
- Also a hopeless flirt for the sake of one-liners and looking cool. Aborts mission if the flirtee is ready to Kill And Means It
- Definitely made out with Raph that one night they got drunk.
- Plays “Hot or Not” with April in their corner of the cafeteria
Karai
- Bisexual
- Queen of the bi squad tbh
- Not as keen on boys as she is girls, but enjoys toying with the former if it fits with her job
- Has known Shinigami was The One but the way she was raised and all her self-doubts make her a ridden ball of angst over it
Shinigami
- Lesbian Idol
- Can have any girl in the world because look at her, but is too much into Karai to consider any other girl
- Is better than you. She knows it, you know it, the whole world knows it
Renet
- Asexual-Demiromantic
- Trans girl
- Left her timeline to become a timestress apprentice because of how she wasn’t able to be herself in her own home
- Can recite a timeline of events of LGBT rights movements that span milennia across the multiverse and yet confuses Earth slang and lingo all the time
- Went back in time to witness several Pride marches undercover

@lgbtmntweek
Anyway, Krang and Ch’rell aren’t my solitary OTP. But since I did them all last year, I’d show off the other one I’ve just kind of kept on the side of my mind for a while...
That’s Churk and Yoom.
Yoom loves everything about Churk except his snoring.
(I also headcanon that Churk is trans or gender fluid, though Utroms have a different perspective and terminology on how that works. Trans/gender fluid to humans, basically.)

TMNT boys (general, you can choose universe) having their gay awakening [they see male reader and are like… wait… I wanna kiss this guy]
if you are comfy with LGBT stuff that is. If you’re not pls don’t respond with hate, just delete.
A/n: nah there no hate my pansexual self isn't gonna hate on a gay awaking. Thank you for requesting
Summary: you were the boys gay awaking
Version:2012
Donatello
He figured he was straight and he had a crush on April
Until he met you
You were one of Casey's friends and he wanted the turtles to meet you
You were just standing there shocked as you looked around
When Donnie seen you
He just stared as you opened his mind a little more
He was shocked to fine out he's bi
But he's not ashamed of it
And yes he stopped going for April and went for you
And you also helped him see how horrible April was to him
So he is very glad be met you
Michelangelo
He knew he wasn't straight but he didn't know what he was
But he knew for a fact he wasn't straight when he met you
Donnie had met you a week prior and wanted you to meet the family
Mikey was blown away when he met you and quickly took you away from Donnie just to show you around and introduce everyone
But mainly because he wanted to meet you before hid other brothers
So yeah everytime you come over he'll tackle you in a hug and just be super excited your there
Leonardo
He always told himself he was straight but everyone could see he wasn't
So when he met you because April want to introduce you to them
He was shocked
His mind went places he never expected
He was so shocked you were his gay awaking but boy was he glad
He always wanted to hang out with you and talk about space heros
Bonus points if you like space heros two
Everytime your at the lair he trys to hang out with you and if you agree he'll be beyond happy
But he'll never try and take you away from his brothers
So if your hanging out with them he'll wait for another time
Raphael
He wasn't so shocked when he met you because it took him a hot minute to realize that you just awakened the gay in him
So he just treated you like any new person
Well he was going to but he struggled to talk to you mainly because his mind was so stunned by just you
So that's when he realized you were his gsy awakening
And unlike his brothers be try and hang out with you but he always wanted to be around you
And it was obvious
Everytime you were at the lair he would basically follow you in a non creepy way
So he was basically following you like a lost dog
And loved it when he talked to him
And yes that was also obvious
A/n:I hope you enjoyed the turtles having a small gay panic

Hello fren could you maybe do hcs for the 12' maincast reacting to a friend coming out as genderfluid?
-🐚anon (I'm probably gonna be back lol, ur very big brained)
I THINK YOU MEAN THE TMNT 2012 MAIN CAST, RIGHT?? IF I GET THIS WRONG THEN PLEASE TELL ME! I'll do the turtles! ALSO I'VE NEVER BEEN CALLED BIG BRAINED, IT FEELS ODD SINCE I ALWAYS CALL MYSELF PEA BRAINED LMAO -------- I'm gonna start with Raph, he's the first turtle I decided to try and research </3 I might take 2012 off my list, I didn't realize how much I forgot about it! --------- Raph!! - He'd be confused at first. What did that mean? - You'd have to explain it to him! ... Repeatedly. Again, again, again. He can't just seem to get a hang of it at first! - Raph ends up getting frustrated with himself (and you a bit) because he can't understanding it - Until you explain it in the DUMBEST way possible! - Then he semi understands! - You seem scared, though, so he'd gently place a hand on your shoulder and smile at you. "While I don't ENTIRELY understand... I'm no jerk- kinda. I accept you for who you are. Heh, I mean- Look at me! I'm a turtle! Who am I to judge?" - AND IT'S??? ODDLY COMFORTING?? - He'll get the hang of it eventually! Just tell him what you're feelin' that day or if you prefer anything and he'll do his best! Just remind him if he messes up! - He'll... Kinda understand better after a month or two! Leo!! - He's also confused at first, but he's way more calm about it and understands it faster. - Leo... Compares it to something he's seen in his show- I'd imagine there's some character in there that's doesn't really follow gender! - Yeah it's not the most flattering thing to say, but he's supportive! - "Thank you for trusting me with this... I promise, I'll do my best to remember. I accept you." - He gets stuff after a week or two, he's a fast learner! - Leo isn't afraid to correct others, he definitely helps Raph remember to use your pronouns and stuff! - If you change anything about your appearance? He notices first! "Oh, hey! Your hair!" - The second worst at understanding, Raph's the last Donnie!! - Donnie understands immediately... Immediately after asking a ton of questions. - He knows what being transgender is! He knows the genderfluid label, he just wants to understand how YOU experience it! - After you open up and explain how you experience your gender and stuff, he'd open up and explain how he feels about his... He might be trans! Donnie just needs to learn more! - You can go to him about gender dysphoria if you experience it (not all trans people have dysphoria!), he's always open to help! - "Thank you for trusting me with this, (Y/n)... I'm always here for you, ok?" - If he ever builds you something? He'd paint a lil' pride flag on it for ya (if you're comfortable with that! He'd ask first!) - Donnie would slip up once or twice but he'd get the hang of things quickly! He's also not afraid to correct people, even if it's some villain they're about to fight! - "You're weak, (dead_name)-" "Uh! Actually, it's (Y/n)!" "O-Oh-... *coughcough*... You're weak, (Y/n)..." Mikey!! - You'd have to explain what it is to Mikey at first, but he'd immediately get it! - There's quite a lot of lgbt things in comics, even old ones, so he'd seen the concept before! - He'd simply ask about the stuff you prefer before looking at you like you're the most important person! - "You're so cool! I wanna be like you one day!" - He really looks up to you and he's so happy that you told him! - You're so strong! In so many ways! He knows how humans can be awful, he's experienced it before... So you've gotta be so strong to be so open about your identity! - If you're still closeted socially then don't worry! He's got your back! - Aggressively compliments you when you need it, using certain terms and all that to make you feel more valid! Which you already are! I tried my best to not force anything onto the label! People experience these things differently so I left it more vague so you guys can comfortably read! >:]

a little introduction [2023]
hey, my name’s Alpurrt, otherwise known as alpurrtwhizkersss here on Tumblr, and I’m 18 :)
i decided i’d do an introduction post because i’m thinking of starting to write on here.
Masterlist: https://www.tumblr.com/alpurrtwhizkersss/698998070518644736/i-love-you?source=share
i’ll be writing on my own, so i don’t rely on requests but they’d be really great to recieve!
you can find my pronouns in my bio, they may change quite often so i’m not going to put them here because i can’t be bothered coming back to edit this post every week :’)
i do lots of things! my main passion is art, but i’m not sure how much of that i’ll be posting on here, so i’ll mainly be posting about my other passion, which is writing!
here’s the good bit that you all probably care about, what fandoms i write for! okay, actually, first i’m going to tell you my rules for writing:
feel free to request things using the ask box! i’ll always have in my bio whether my requests are open or closed, and i’ll try and get to requests (if i get any) as soon as i can, but since i’m currently at school they may take a while, so please be patient with me :D
I will not write:

Aww that’s okay; if anything I’m sorry that a show and fandom that used to be enjoyable on the majority have turned into something exhausting and even triggering for a lot of people. What kind of shows are you into at this moment? I’ve seen a lot of people get interested in Danny Phantom lately (the full series is up on Hulu and apparently the season 2 finale anniversary is next week) but I’d love to hear what you personally like these days.
Hope you don't mind me taking the chance to place some recs! For these are really good and can use more attention.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
A Dreameorks cartoon on Netflix now confirmed for a 2nd season! Its a colorful post apocalypse world where most humans went underground and animals mutated and evolved to rule it. It has a very Ghibli vibe to it in feel, especially falling animation. Of the humans that are our leads, all three are poc, two African Americans and Kipo is African-Asian (possibly Korean with her naming a pig Mandu). Also has an openly gay character, making it another in the DW roster to include LGBT characters.
Glitch Techs
Sadly canceled the first few months out, too expensive for Nick's taste which is a shame since Glitch Techs is one of the most fun cartoons I've seen in a while, and the animation is so fluid. Its a true love letter to gaming, so many references that gamers of all kind can pick up, and has a very diverse cast, with both leads are biracial (Five is Chinese-Hispanic and Miko is Japanese American). This is also one of those shows that fo siblings right. While cancelled, there are some unreleased eps, hopefully more views can help get the rest of s1, and maybe Nick will fo more with it.
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This has become my favorite adaptation of TMNT made thus far. It has a new fresh spin on characters and set up, fluid animation with small details that you can catch later with a rewatch, really funny and the turtles feel like teenagers and siblings, a very flawed and human Splinter, and April is black in this one and is easily my favorite version of her. Its wholesome, funny, action packed; those in Canada can watch it on Netflix. It is a different take on TMNT, but to me its refreshing and thry are changes I like a lot.
Amphibia
One of two Disney cartoons I've been liking. About a Thai American girl teleported to Amphibia, a world of anthromorphic amphibians. Very wholesome, colorful, and funny. It has some Gravity Falls vibes, though the mystety is more background and its more family focused.
The Owl House
2nd Disney cartoon, a spiritual successor of GF, of sorts. It matches GF in weird and dark tones and designs. And its a fascinating world to see. Luz is full of life and I'm rooting for her to succeed in becoming a witch, Eda is a literal hoot and has a lot of mysteries to her, and King is adorable. I am curious to see if there is something more to him as a lot of fans theorize.
Now this is where we move to rewatch list. Gradually rewatching Spop with my brother (his first viewing) and its been golden. Also been rewatching Inuyasha and AtLA.
For new shows (for me) is checking out Card Captor Sakura for the first time (very cute), and the Pokémon Sun and Moon anime, which has been a lot of fun so far. I will also be checking out s2 of 3Below sometime but, honestly not too excited do its been the back of my list.
And those are all the shows I'm into atm.
I got some fic ideas for AtLA and Trollhunters, here's hoping I can get them going.

Change of Plans (Bopsteady)
This is unfortunately last-minute as I have been busy. I wanted it to be maybe a bit longer, but I’m glad with how it ended up, even short and sweet.
So this is my part for Day 2: First Date as part of @lgbtmntweek ! (I’m pretty sure Bebop and Rocksteady are an old battle-ready married couple in canon now)
—
They're two hours late for dinner when Bebop next checks his watch. How did ten minutes turn into two hours? Then he hears another explosion, followed by Rocksteady's hearty laugh. Oh yeah, that's how.
It was supposed to be their first date. A nice, peaceful first date, with a nice dinner and some candles and some classical music playing in the background. But instead, Shredder decided to send them off on a job to deal with Don Vizioso for the night. The mob boss tub of lard was working on more anti-mutant weaponry, and that was a conflict of interest with the Foot Clan seeing how most of Shredder's top men were freaks of nature.
"Beebs! At your six!"
Bebop dodges a blast from the mob's scavenged kraang tech and fires a counter himself. "Don't think so!" And the masked goon gets knocked over a table. "...Did you just call me 'Beebs'?"
"Is new pet name!"
One sabotage of basement operations and snagging some samples for Stockman later, Bebop and Rocksteady were stuck dealing with the last of Vizioso's men. On date night. On first date night.
"Heads up!" Bebop yells as he dodges a swing and kicks a goon towards Rocksteady. A big grin spreads across his rhino face as he grabs the goon and sends him barrelling into a row of others.
"Ha! Strike for me!"
This should have been a quick job. Get in, get out, go have a romantic dinner. He'd had everything planned for an evening for just the two of them, on their first date, and what were they doing? Playing errand boys for Shredder yet again.
There's a buzz at Bebop's ear and he answers his earpiece. "Busy here!"
"You're busy? We've been slaving away to get things set up for your 'surprise date'! What is taking you idiots so long?"
Bebop huffs as he spies a goon, who is best described as a cinderblock in a suit and tie, walking into the area with a hulking machine gun in his arms. "You want those baseball cards or not, Xever?"
"Shhhh shh shh! I thought we agreed to keep our arrangement private?"
He dodges out of the way of machine gun fire. "So long as you and everyone else keep your ends of the deal!"
"Bebop! Do the batter up!" Rocksteady pulls the pin from a grenade and tosses it over. Bebop kicks it towards the machine gun and takes cover from the explosion.
"Exactly how much longer are you going to take? Tiger Claw is getting pissed keeping your fancy meal from getting cold."
"We're working on it!" Bebop yells into his headset. He looks over at his partner, having the time of his life bashing heads and taking names. Rock's in no rush to get back. Much as Bebop wanted to give the big lug a nice dinner, they weren't leaving anytime soon. Truth be told Bebop wasn't in a mood to rush out either. "Actually, y'know what? Scrap the dinner. We're gonna be here a while."
"What?! But what about-"
"I'll keep up my end, relax, you'll all get your stuff!"
"Ay... Fine. But you'll regret wasting our time like this." And before Bebop can join back in the fray with his date, he hears Xever's voice before he cuts the line. "He's called it off. Ice the food."
"WHAT?!"

My Review of Masters of the Universe Revelation - Better late then Never...
It has been two months now, and wow... Not, not many fans of the entire franchise like the Kevin Smith Masters of the Universe series do they? As an aspiring writer myself I can't say I blame them.
I know this comes literally on the heels of the LATEST series being released (obligations to projects, work, family and other things got in the way) and I have to say I wasn't all that impressed with it. If anything, compared to the dumpster fire that was Season 8 of Voltron Legendary Defender that season was more enjoyable than this first part of the mini-series.
And if I am being honest from the first leaks of Skele-God, to the drama with YouTubers like Clownfish-TV and others, to the "race swapping" of Andra and King Greyskull, to spoilers Kevin Smith himself even made, I would give Part-1 a GENEROUS D-Minus. This is a shame because I really wanted this series to exceed all expectations and be equal to the original like 2012s TMNT is or 2011s ThunderCats. But there is too much against it.
First, let’s talk about the animation. It was absolutely breathtaking! It was crisp, the world-building in just the scenery was a masterpiece. Out of what I saw of all of part 1, spotted one goof - dealing in episode 1 with Evil-Lyn's staff, which shows that their animators care of what they produce. I loved the animation so much that if the rights to my favorite anime were purchased by a studio to do a continuation from 2005 or a second reboot, I'd gladly give Powerhouse Animation my salary for the next 5 years!
The music, the music was gorgeous! But then I am biased towards Bear McCreary. Even though He-Man seems a bit knew to compose music to, he immediately got my vote of confidence when it was announced he was attached. Reason being, his work for the movie Godzilla King of the Monsters! His music made me actually tear up during that movie. Something I didn't do since another Godzilla movie.
With the exception of Mark Hamill - as shocking as it comes and Sarah Michelle Gellar, the voice acting was phenomenal! I loved Kevin Michael Richards as Beastman, Tony Todd as ScareGlow, even Liam Cunningham as Duncan! Chris Wood was spectacular as Prince Adam/He-Man for just being introduced to him. But the one who really stole the show for me was Lena Headdy. She killed it as Evil-Lyn, so much that if the Eternity War Saga or 2 part crossover event ThunderCats and He-Man/Injustice vs Masters of the Universe were made into live-action or animated movies, I'd pay whatever she wanted just to have her return.
I also want to applaud the effort of getting a diverse group of voice actors. Something which I noticed few if ANY have. Actors who are both known for their VA resumes and those who are new to voice acting. But also the actors themselves, besides the white and black VAs there were if I am not mistaken a Native American and I think 2 Mixed-Race voice actors. I don't remember if there were any Asian or Middle Eastern VAs, but it is always Part-2!
As for Mark Hamill, at first, I was excited that he was going to do the voice of Skeletor. But upon hearing him as Skeletor, I'm not sure anymore. Granted this is just the first part of the mini-series, but it didn't feel like Skeletor if that makes sense? To me, it felt like he was trying to mix Joker/Alvin the Treacherous/and Firelord Orzi all into one character.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is another one I wasn't sure about. I admit I found it hard going in unbiased because I never liked Sarah. Not as Gwendy Doll, or Andromeda, Daphne and certainly not as Buffy - mainly because I preferred Kristy Swanson as Buffy, but that is beside the point. She had some nice emotional spots, but for the majority of her performance as Teela, it just wasn't there for me. If the writing and script had been better than what it was, she could have won me over for Teela, but as I write this I am more excited for Kimberly Brooks to voice Teela.
Now let’s talk about the things I hated. This will involve anything from Characters including designs to the writing and other things. If you don't want to be triggered I advise you to stop reading this and move on. If you are still here and get triggered, like one person who always seems to be, don't say I didn't warn you. I am always open to engaging others civilly in talking and debate. But if you can't even do that, don't bother engaging. These are my opinions and MY THOUGHTS, and I will hold nothing back regardless of the topic. You have been warned!
The story, the story absolutely sucked! You can tell the writers, if you can call them that, just didn’t care about what they were doing. I’ll go into this shortly. But those writers should be ashamed to even call themselves that. Sure it was catered to be modernized and appealing to potential new fans, but they should have been more aware of what they were doing. Just in this first part, there are so many plotholes and questions I was asking myself that I filled 4 whole pages of paper asking questions and thoughts - which to the fanfic writers I will put in at the end of this if you want to explore them.
I watched the mini-series five times now, trying to be as objective as I possibly could as an aspiring writer and not as a MotU fan, and each time got even more painful. Let’s be clear on one thing, I wanted this series to succeed. But too many things brought it down, and like with Ghost in the Shell 2045, I’m not sure I want Netflix to release part 2 or that I would watch it if they did.
Let’s start with how it was advertised as a “direct sequel to the original.” It was not a direct sequel to the original. I have seen someone bring this up and I have to agree with him. This mini-series is more in line with Nickelodeon’s Voltron-Force from 2011. I remember watching that series when it premiered and then had to hunt down my VHS tapes that had them to get a feel for the series again.
Both played off their respective originals as direct sequels, but both are in fact pseudo-sequels/soft reboots. They have the characters we grew up with and we can identify these characters because they are close to their original counterparts, but that is as far as the “sequel” goes. They bring in newer characters who we know nothing about or characters who have maybe been unimportant to the main characters, but we have to accept them now. It was like that with Mona Lisa in the 2012 TMNT who I enjoyed WHEN they used her, Larmina of Voltron-Force being Allura’s niece, and Andra of Revelation who had maybe 2 or 3 appearances in the entire run of the Masters of the Universe franchise.
Like Voltron-Force, Revelation, had no real ties to the original. There were no mentions of battles, events, and characters who played critical roles in the original. Instead, it starts off with a narrative deposition to set the series up (not matching how the original ended) and just starts in with new adventures. For it to be a direct sequel to an original, you need to have more than just characters we can identify as He-Man/Skeletor/Keith/Lotor/Allura/or Teela.
Next, let’s talk about the length of this mini-series. This is still a bitter subject amongst Voltron fans because so much Netflix could have done more with it if they didn’t do four seasons that were 6/7 episodes. We can all agree that with the “story telling” they wanted to do, just five episodes just were not enough for the first part and potentially the second part. The amount of time needed to portray the journey from Adam’s death to Skeletor taking the power sword and becoming Skelegod could have easily been an entire season. Even 9-10 episodes would have been acceptable with the proper writing that wasn’t going for deliberate shock value goals or “shipping.”
With a 9-10 episode first part, they could have given everyone what they wanted. They could have had He-Man solidly in the first 3 episodes killing him off in the 3rd in such an emotional way it would leave us old-timers not only devastated but eager for more. Use episode 4 to transition into a dying magical world trying to survive with the loss of He-Man and Skeletor and set up the following episode where we see Teela and Andra meet, rather than “next episode we meet Teela and her ‘friend’ Andra on a practically dead world.” Hell, if this was supposed to be a series which wanted to emotionally cripple old timers like me, I’d have been fine if were three season 13 episode series where He-Man dies at the very end of season 1, season 2 picks up with the aftermath of his death, and season 3 is He-Man’s return to defeat Skeletor.
Let’s now talk about the plotholes in this series which tie together with the amount of episodes. These are the biggest things that damage the series the most! The biggest plothole and the most important one is “SPAN OF TIME!” How long has it been since Prince Adam’s death and we see Teela with Andra - days/weeks/months/years - WHAT?! When did they meet? Where did they meet? What happened to Eternos? Did King Randor go all Mad-King Targarian or was Eternos get sacked and destroyed now that He-Man was no longer there to protect its people? Did King Randor put a bounty on Teela’s head for leaving? Remember she was a sworn member of the guard to the King. I doubt he would have just let her leave unless he had a good reason not to go after her. What happened to all the other Masters - Clamp Champ/Ram-Man/Stratos/Buzzoff/Tusk Man and many others in the aftermath of Adam’s death? These are questions and things fans should have been focusing on rather than “will Teela and Andra be together?” Kevin Smith said this series had what others didn’t... STAKES. What are those stakes?
Speaking of Teela and Andra and I know this will be a touchy one for most. I feel that their dynamic is directly done to “queerbait” people. Now I am not saying we can’t have LGBT couples in series, it’s just that writers either need to commit to establishing these couples or not at all. Only doing glimpses or hints at, is for a lack of a better term a Kobayashi Maru - (a No Win Scenario for the Non-Star Trek fans) like it was with Shiro in Voltron Legendary Defender. And if and when this blows up in their faces, like it did the Voltron writers, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Star Trek Lower Decks like every other Star Trek since “The Next Generation” have no qualms in establishing certain characters as LGBT. It is how you do it, and many of these shows need to follow the example from Star Treks TNG/DS9/VOY/LD. This series are a clear testament that you can have Straight/Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual relationships without “queer-baiting” or overtly shoving it in people’s faces.
The writers have made it clear that there is something between Teela and Andra but while also making it clear there is still something between her and Adam. Which regardless of how part 2 ends is liable to upset the fans they “catered” this series to. Who do you make happy and who do you ostracize? And with today’s social media are you going to handle the backlash of giving one and not the other? I personally would prefer Teela and Adam to be what kids today call “Endgame,” but ever since the Keith & Allura tradition was soundly destroyed in Season 2 of Netflix’s Voltron, that when it comes to Netflix series I just simply don’t care anymore who ends up with who, I want a well thought-well developed story.
The character designs of Teela/Andra/Evil-Lyn I understand they wanted a more “modern” realistic feel to them, which I am neither for nor against. Because let’s face it spandex-clad or barely covered barbarian fantasy women with chainmail is a product of the 70s/80s/90s. It is alright to have modern designs for characters but not too modern. Especially when we have shows like Game of Thrones and others to draw references from.
I do admit, I am not a fan of Teela’s design. I understand the reasoning is to make her a “Strong Female Character” but there is more to being a strong female character than looking strong. Strength is also one’s character, how they grow and develop. Teela’s stubbornness, fear, and anger at her “past life” are preventing her growth. If this is the way they portray a strong female character then they have no business doing so.
Kimberly Brooks’ Allura is a far stronger woman than this Teela ever will be. The burdens she shouldered, admitting she was wrong and not gloating when she was correct, the forgiveness of a race responsible for the genocide of her’s, being a diplomat while also being a warrior, sacrificing her well being for others all contributed to her growth from “Princess who just woke up” to Strong Female Character by the end of Season 6.
Teela understandably was hurt by the lies that filled her life. Sure she built a life away from those lies, but she was running away from them. Rather than confront the reason why she became bitter and ran away essentially. She was only forced to confront those lies to save Eternia and the universe and even then there really wasn’t any humility about it. Instead, it is all about her. Not once in this series have I seen growth for Teela’s character like Legendary Defender’s Allura, and let me be perfectly blunt - I had no love for Allura after Season 2. Not once did she admit she was wrong or apologize. Not once was she willing to sacrifice her life for the greater good - instead she was willing to let the whole universe die because of the lies she was fed her life.
Now let me address the whole Race-Bending “controversy.” As with the new designs, I am neither for nor against them. I understand the arguments on both sides when it comes to Andra and King Greyskull. One side argues it appeals to young black girls and boys while the other argues they are being tired of being handed “Hand-Me-Down” characters. Both sides have valid arguments. But honestly, as an old Masters of the Universe fan, it took the so-called “race-swapping” of Andra for me to even remember her because she was never that important and even betrayed Teela for Faker in the Injustice vs Masters of the Universe comics and even then she appeared in maybe 5 panels at most.
Now King Greyskull, at first I was against, I’ll admit it but then I changed my tone looking at myself and my family. See I am Bi-Racial, my mother is white and my father is black. My father’s sister married a white guy and had 6 bi-racial kids. Two who in turn gave birth to white-skinned blond-haired blue-eyed kids. Had they gone the “bloodline” path Prince Adam could have been a representation of not just blacks, whites, but bi-racial and mixed-blood peoples.
I realize this is coming out on the eve of that new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, which as a He-Man fan since 1984 (when I was potty training) I will give it a shot, maybe even write a review of it. But I still have my reviews of Godzilla: Singular Point, Pacific Rim: The Black, Star Trek Lower Decks, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2045, and other series to write on top of work and my family life.
-------------------------------~ Question and Thoughts Time ~---------------------------
As I mentioned above, had many thoughts and questions which I believe were pivotal in the development of this series. Questions and thoughts should have been vocalized during the writing stage rather than fans asking them. These are of the first 3 episodes and some of episode 4. If you are a fanfiction writer who wants to explore these feel free to do so, I will be more than happy to read if they answer these questions and make the mini-series more enjoyable.
Keep in mind these are questions and thoughts I had because I am also an aspiring writer of my own fiction - that I am keeping close to my chest until I feel ready to release it.
Any true He-Man fan would question why is He-Man on a mechanical horse when he would be using battle cat
I do like the celebration happening at the same time quote-unquote He-Man is approaching Castle Grayskull it makes you think Adam is missing out on an important event
In the original series, Castle Grayskull had defenses that the Sorceress could call upon to confuse and combat an enemy who breached its walls how did Skeletor learn about the true secrets of Castle Grayskull when it should only be the Sorceress that knows of such secrets
If the Sorceress is so powerful and so smart why was she tricked by the faker He-Man he doesn't have the power sword?
I love that Orko is still a bumbling magician in Eternia’s realm. Shows how different realities have an effect on others
Adams entrance to “I have the power” let alone his playful jab at who “He is” should have been a hint to Teela
I do like the scene between Adam and Teela in the hall. It really makes you think that they actually are friends from childhood that grew up together and possibly have a future together.
My knowledge of the 38 years of the canon may be a bit shady now, but hasn’t Skeletor always needed the Power sword to get into Castle Grayskull like he always needed it in the comics?
They hinted that his mother knows he's He-Man and that she does reveal that he is He-Man after the battle. I know a mother knows these things about her child. But how did she learn Adam was He-Man and how did she not tell King Randor
Again how did Marlena know He-Man was her son and not tell her husband?
King Randor’s response is feasible but Teela’s response, because everyone lied to her is understandable - but she's a warrior. She is also a sworn captain of the royal guard, sworn to the King. She can’t just quit like that, can she?
How much time has passed between the death of Adam and when we see Teela with Andra
What has happened to the Royal Family in this time? What about Eternos? Has King Randor and Marlena revealed that he-man was their son Prince Adam? With He-Man out of the picture Has Eternos Fallen? Did Randor go all Mad-King Targaryen and become a ruthless tyrant?
What has happened to all of the other Masters? Ram-Man/Buzzoff/Clamp Champ/Fisto/Stratos/ and so many others? Were they killed off? Did they disband? Or were they exiled, WHAT?!
What about Snake-Mountain? What happened in the aftermath of Skeletor’s apparent death? Did Triclops and Beastman betray Evil-Lyn?
How did Teela meet Andra? What is the “When, where, and how” behind their meeting? What did she do to gain Teela’s trust when she felt betrayed by the world?
What is Andra’s background or history in this series besides being an engineer?
When old hag gives Teela and Andra their mission you can obviously tell it's evil-lyn
He-Man flashbacks are kind of nice but it would have been nice to have a build-up for such flashback or have a series season before his demise with such flashbacks that way it could be more poignant
I do like the idea of Triclops and Trap-jaw building a technical but what put them on the path for this techno cult
The cult kind of feels like the Borg as much as I like the idea of Trap-jaw and Triclops making a cult I don't know how I feel about it being Borg-like
This may be controversial but Andra feels like the stereotypical POC Rooky sidekick you see join the main character on their quest.
Like Grace Randolph said this whole Teela/Andra angle may come up and bite everyone in the ass later on if they don’t follow through which will piss off all the old-time fans and if they don’t follow through with the Teela/Andra angle and make Prince Adam/Teela are a couple then all the LGBTQ fans will be pissed off about that
I can already foresee it happening just like it did with Voltron Legendary Defender with Shiro being gay and his ex-partner Adam being killed in combat
We do get a hint of what the king did after the final battle but still what happened in that time after Prince Adam was killed? Did king Randor go off the deep end and become a dictator, what? These are questions that needed to be asked and answered during the writing stage
When did Evil-Lyn, Cringer, and the Sorceress make an alliance to save what little magic is left and in essence the entire universe?
I have the suspicion that was the Sorceress finally trying to tell Teela she's her mother Ford Shadows that the Sorceress is going to die and Teela is going to take her place
Did Teela really name Cringer, or was it something to boost her up in this mini-series?
Did cringer really tell Tela the Adam loved her?
Thus Begins the quest to reforge the sword to go to heaven and hell to get the parts and rebuild the Power sword thus queue Duncan
How much time has passed between the end of the previous episode and the beginning of this new one?
How is time measured on Eternia?
If Skeletor truly wanted to kill He-Man why didn't you take his power sword when he was shackled up?
Kevin Conroy is ma as Mermaid Man if he gets more roles as mermaid man he might grow on me
Instead of gloating, why didn’t they take He-Man’s sword if it was their prize all along?
Typical 80s cartoon ponds very nice
If Evil-Lyn preached that Man-at-Arms was the most dangerous man in Eternia why didn't they act like it why did they act like He-Man was the most dangerous one?
I do love the jobs both Teela and Evil-Lyn take at each other because they are pretty much the same. Evil-Lyn is Skeletor’s version of the Sorceress and Teela is practically He-Man sorceress when she accepts her destiny.
Teela has seen her father fight hundreds of times how could you not recognize his fighting style?
I like how beast man's loyalty never swayed from evil when I also like Kevin Michael Richardson parentheses? As Beastman I thought I would like him as King Grayskull but I I do like him as beast man
Orko like Castle Grayskull does provide a little hint as to King Randor’s reaction to Prince Adam’s death. I feel this is something they should have put into the series
I feel that all of Orko's scenes in episode 3 and my Following episode 4 are tainted because of Kevin Smith revealing he gets killed and why he decided to have Oracle killed
Why should Beastman show a little fear to Andra who is she to him?
I like that you can still see that Man at Arms still loves the Sorceress and I also find it funny that when it comes to that one huge secret something always gets in the way
Again I hate how they portrayed the span of time in this?
How did they go from a Forest Village so halfway across the world?
Something's been nagging me lately could Evil-Lyn be related to both Teela and the Sorceress somehow?
It could be a reference to how similar the Figures were in the 80s but in some scenes, Teela and Evil-Lyn’s facial structures look almost identical could you be separated sisters?
The further this point it's funny how Evil-lyn and Kela can just cut through the bullshit between their infatuation with He-Man and Skeletor
Again what time something happened between evil-lyn and Merman we don't know what just that he seems bitter that she didn't take over the land while he took a while he tried to take over the seat
It seems that there are undertones to a massive war and the wake of Prince Adam’s death.
I kind of like how even evil-lyn kind of shows that she may be afraid of subterranean
With half of part 1 ended could Skeletor have them influencing her? Why did she have to retrieve the Havoc staff head?
How does Evil-Lyn know so much about the Subterranea?
Teela facing a false He-Man could be a hint of her feelings for Adam. But I think it would be more of a visceral scene if it was Prince Adam and not He-Man.
Was that a hint of Teela becoming the new sorceress?
Scenes between Orko and Lyn were a nice touch. Maybe a better connection between Orko and Lyn than Teela, He-Man, and the others?
Orko’s sacrifice could be the beginning of the Dark-Orko storyline?
Was that the Sorceress’ most recent ancestor, Teela’s Grandmother or GREAT-Grandmother?
Why didn’t Adam finish the chant? If Kevin Smith borrowed aspects from everything relating to He-Man, then why didn’t Adam finish the chant? A few times Adam has been run through in which he could finish the chant to become He-Man.
If Teela is such a badass, why didn’t she attempt to stop a reconstituting Skeletor from stabbing Adam?
Really Andra? You are going to sass Skeletor? He doesn’t know you and would sleep like a baby dispersing you. You are nothing to him, you are lucky he didn’t decide to run you through with the power sword.
And really Skeletor? Because no woman could love a face like your’s? Thats your motivation?
