[gigarom]

I'm not a MOTU expert but I find it harder to translate it to The Iliad context.

First of all, Horde Prime has gone through different interpretations in comics and cartoons. I'm going to let out the UK comics because I haven't read them but I think Prime is a part of the Unnamed One, Hordak worked for him but I don't think they are related any further.

MOTU Filmation: Horde Prime and Hordak are brothers. Hordak works for him and his mission is to conquer Etheria. Also Prime has a son (Prince Zed) but he was only addressed in one episode.

MOTU Classics: Follows the same line as Filmation, except there is no Prince Zed. After killing their father, Horde Lord, Prime took the throne of the Horde Empire. Hordak works under his comand conquering more words for the empire. There's not blind loyalty from Hordak to Horde Prime.

MOTU DC: Horde Prime is the father of Hordak and Zodac. Hordak killed his father and then his brother to become stronger. Prime's soul is trapped in the skull of power.

I'm not sure why they choose Hec-Tor and Anillis as their names, none of their iterations have a clear reference to Hordak taking away someone/something valuable for Horde Prime.

But, what if we use Prince Zed as Patroclo? Zed befriended the rebels and promised he would make a difference the day he ascends to the throne. Prime might see this as an act of corruption, blaming things on Hordak. Maybe the influence of The Rebellion was so great on Zed that he abandoned the Horde Empire, making this a big loss for his father. In Filmation series there was no loyalty between villians, so a fight to death between Prime and Hordak is feasible.

Anyway, I really like your take on SPOP. Prime loosing his perfect empire in the hands of Hordak (and She-Ra) is pure poetry.

Iliad? In my She-Ra cartoon? It's more likely than you think

Some of you may know that og Hordak and Prime (from the motu franchise) also have "normal" names. Sooo, you know how long it took my dumb ass to realize that Hec-Tor and Anillis are spelled and pronounced suspiciously similar to Hector and Achilles - u know, the heroes from Homer's Iliad??*

I have no idea if this lil trivia fact is an intentional reference or not or if this specific choice of characters is supposed to mean anything at all. But it means everything to ME

Because why Horde Prime of all people was given the name of a hero?? Why Hordak, his brother, was given the name of his enemy and his victim? And why do these names fit the 2018s versions of these characters so well?

!I'm not an expert in ancient literature or greek mythology/history or anything close so my knowledge and understanding of the Iliad and its characters is literaly on the surface level! I'm only making this post cause looking for parallels is fun c:

Horde Prime as Achilles

The mythological hero, Achilles was often reffered to as the beast, or pure element, force of nature, or even a star. Not a person, not a human being

He was an exceptional fierce hero known for his passion and determination, but also his arrogance and stubborness. Noble yet often selfish and capricious, understanding and caring yet cruel

The one who possesed arcane knowledge about the fate of humanity, and with it - about his own destiny

The one protected by the gods, who was so close to godhood himself, whos body was immortalized in the river Styx

And yet, one small part remained vulnerable, a part of him stayed painfully human. And once it was discovered and aimed at, he was as good as dead

The one who was driven by horrific almost animalistic rage. Rage that came from pain and grief. Rage that came... from love?

Achilles lost someone dear to him and this loss blinded him with desire for revenge, made him chase after the warrior who took his loved one from him. He refused to let go, not even letting go of Hector's corpse

Hordak as Hector

Described as "deserving of love" Hector was a great warrior, deeply devoted and loyal to his home and his cause

A brave unstoppable leader who nonetheless made many mistakes by letting his human emotions and traits make him act unwise, arrogant, reckless and naive

The one who believed in his gods and trusted so many, but in the end was only deceived and lied to. And this lie was the reason why Hector could not escape Achilles' wrath

The cause and the victim of Achilles' rage. His personal enemy, the one who killed his beloved. The one who feared Achilles so much yet in the end stopped running away and faced him in their first and final duel

The one who lost everything. Doomed to die tragically by Achilles' hand. Hector didnt even beg for mercy, only for his body to be treated with respect, but Achilles could not be reasoned with. Instead he dragged his corpse behind his chariot for days on end, not letting him rest. Not letting Hector return home to his family

But wait, who is Patroclus of this story?

Funny how this part of Achilles' story fits Hordak a lot more, since it was him who lost a dear friend and it was him who was consumed with grief and fury. Thus, in a way, Hordak is both Hector and Achilles and Entrapta is his Patroclus. But what's Prime's deal then?

We can always enter fanon territory and headcanon that Prime might have lost someone a long time ago and grief turned him into a monster. Could be a lover, could be a friend or family, could be his old self even. But then what Hordak had to do with it? Why he became the target of his rage?

Perhaps in this version Patroclus isn't even a person. An idea of perfection and control. Hordak's imperfections ruined the image of his ideal world where everything goes his way, ruined his own image, the facade of an all mighty god who could not make a mistake or create something less than perfect. In a sense Hordak's defect and later betryal killed everything Prime was working on and was trying to achieve, everything he believed in

Perhaps Hordak is both Hector and Patroclus. A brother Prime loved so much, but only when he was still a perfect obedient doll with no name. But once Hordak began to change, showing his personhood and becoming harder to control, becoming unrecognizable, HP could not accept it. In his mind Prime lost a brother, and someone who named himself Hordak was his murderer

Again, I have no idea why the hell they chose these names for their aliases. Achilles and Hector were in no way pure or flawless people, but... they were still heroes. Does this say anything about the characters of Horde Prime and Hordak or their dynamic? Especially their motu versions**?? Or was this just a reference for the sake of reference? (oh maybe im only seeing things and its not even a reference??) They could've chosen an iconic pair of tragic brothers instead idk on the surface it'd seem more fitting :/

But i'd rather keep my tinfoil hat on and think that it was all intentional, because I'm LIVING for the implications regarding Prime's humanity .з.

**Motu fans and experts if you're reading this, i'd love to hear your thoughts on this, you have to know more than me!

Huevember Day 4 - Emerald - Prince Hec-Tor

Another entry for the Where One Fell verse by @revasnaslan. This time I drew Hec-Tor (Hordak) along with one of his prototypes, Trinket. There are some AU inaccuracies (I don’t actually remember if Trinket is supposed to look this close to Emily’s design, for example), but I had fun!

I love reading about Hec-tor’s creativity in this AU <3

[emperorsfoot]

Learning that Hordak is gonna be in the CGI show has really rekindled my interest in Entrapdak!

Does anyone have some good Entrapdak fan fic recs on hand?

[EDIT]

Squick and triggers:

The Catradora ship (and just Catra in general) is a big squick for me. Please do not send me recommendations that feature Catra prominently, or feature the Catradora ship at all.

Thank you for your understanding.

[revasnaslan]

look either you’re spending your evening writing really intense scenes between your leads or you’re making shitposts in discord about how i need a hero would go on hec-tor’s spotify playlist if he had one

Naming Seremony

Horda- no, Hec-Tor. He'd have to get used to saying that again. It was strange to reclaim his old name, he hadn't been called that in- what has it now- 40 yernz? No. 39. 9 long solar-cycles on the frontlines and 30 acursed ones on that backwater mudball planet. A world of stailmates and incompatence. He felt like he lost IQ points only by being there. Nothing good came out of that world... well...

That brought him back to the matter at hand. There was one good thing, one wonderful thing that he would endure a thousand yernz of Etheria for.

Entrapta.

Who was in the middle of swinging from the ceiling side to side. The ex-Princess bounced from pipe to pipe, decorating the briefing-chamber. The main corridor was already covered in ornaments and so were most of the rechargeing-chambers. She just seemed to have limitless energy at all times. It was astaunding.

Suddenly without warning Entrapta flung herself into Hordak's arms, cousing him to drop his warm drink. He cought her of course, luck enough he had his armour on, if not his arms might've just snapped off from their sockets. He gave her the same look he always have her back in their Sanctum on Etheria, a look Entrapta was all too familar with. The 'You could've hurt yourself, please be more careful' look. The frown was met with the scientist's smile and the worry melted away quickly.

"Not bad." They heard from the war-table. Despara looked over the decorations on the walls, "A little more lights than necessary, bbbbbut not bad. For a native." She stated hands on her hips.

"Despie." Hec-Tor narrowed his blood red eyes at her. Entrapta didn't seem to have cought the meaning between the lines, so she just thanked her for the complement. Hec-Tor knew that things were going to be tence when he announced that Entrapta was staying with the team onboard the Annihilation. Clones hated natives. Any natives. Manufactured clones not belonging anywhere was a hard sense of reality to tackle, especially when you visit so many worlds, with some many 'normal' species. Everybody considers themselves normal and the constant, and many 'proud' races wished to mention that to the clones' faces. A lot. Normal became a negative concept. And native became an insult.

Hec-Tor wouldn't have that, not to Entrapta.

"What? I didn't mean anything by it." Despara spread her arms out and up and shrugged off the stare. Her gaze returned to a holographic list displayed on the war-table, breaking eye contact and exiting the converstaion.

Entrapta planted a small kiss on the ex-General's forehead with a giggle, "I tried my best to make it look as proper as possible. I got a few pointers from Moe. I know how important this tradition thing is to you." She said as she booped the tip of Hec-Tor's nasal cavity.

Hec-Tor felt like he could melt.

"Thank you. I hope... I hope you don't feel obligated to do it. No one is forcing you to do this. I wish for this to be a comfortable space for you."

"Oh it is. I have company in the rafters with Imp and Vultak. I get to bake cupcakes with alien ingredients, I can explore the ever-expanding universe with my lab-partner and the TECH! Oh the tech! It's all such a gift. I just wanted to thank you for what you've given me."

Hec-Tor was speechless, no words would've ever done justice to this woman. He met her forehead with his, ears low, and began to chirp to her ear as he pulled her in tighter. She wrapped her arms around his neck and Hec-Tor felt her hair coil around his torso, even a small sneaky tenticle crept under his skirt.

Luckily for Despara, who tried her best to ignore the two, they heard the hanger doors open and the rest of the squad walked in. Almost as if an invisible wall formed between them, the two parted, rose red eminating from their cheeks. Hec-Tor was the first to clear his throat and speak up.

"Mission went well, I hope." He stated nerviously.

Modulok turned his two heads to him his right head spoke, "Yeah, yeah, got two guys tied up in the undercarriage. Oh hey! You got the ornaments ready."

"Ya hah! And I also made cake." Entrapta stepped forth and exclaimed.

"We know that's why we threw it out and I baked a new one. To void mass food poisoning, you understand." Mosquitor mentioned matter-of-factly with a finger swirling around.

"Correction. We threw out most of the old cake, there's a slice left. Cakes all cut up so no one knows who'll get it. Like a birthday Russian roulette." Modulok gestured jazz hands as he sat at the war-table.

Dragstor sat down beside him, "I don't know what any of those two things you just said were. But I'll risk it. I'm starving... seriously I just got out of a three month recharging coma." He said taking off his breathing apparatus, straight away taking a spoonfull of cake into his left port in his cheek.

"Just don't clog yourself like you did back in the bar. We know you can only consume liquids." Vultak stated as he perched on a metal beam above with young Imp in his lap.

Mantenna, Leech and Zed sat down in silence, eyes rolling at the nusence coming out of the others' mouths. Dylamug turned on the jukebox they stole a few raids ago, filling the room with calming atmosphereic classical music. Hec-Tor and Entrapta joined the rest at the table. The mad-scientist turned to her lab-partner with stars in her eyes, "Happy Naming Seremony, Hordikins."

"Thank you... for everything."

"Prrrrrtttt! Oh-ho lord! A'right, I got the bad slice." Modulok scrubbed his tongue in haste.

Entrapta and Prince Hec Tor from Everything But A Door by Revasnaslan on AO3.

[emperorsfoot]

Or, hear me out here, what if Hordak was never a clone to begin with and actually IS Zed. That’s why his hair isn’t white and his teeth are red. He inherited his coloring from his mother. Prime, fearing Zed would usurp him one day mind-wiped him and brain-washed him into believing he was just another clone. 

Dumb idea for She-ra on Netflix:

Somehow the name Prince Zed is going to be worked into Hordak's story.

-Horde Prime mockingly gives the name to the mind wiped Hordak, especially as a jab to the Etherians.

-Hordak doesn't get his memories back (completely or immediately) and everyone wants to distance Entrapta's boyfriend from the negative past he can't even remember.

-Hordak recovers, he and Entrapta become an official couple, they somehow (science!) have a baby boy together with pale purple hair and long pointy ears.

Ask Back for the Fan Fiction Ask game: What inspired you ro write "Survive Another Day"?

Ohhh, this is a pretty big answer ;)

I think it started when I watched season 3 of She-ra and the Princesses of Power, and after being convinced of Entrapdak, I joined my first Discord group for a fandom. And I met a lot of cool people, specifically @thewitchoftherock and @b-dazzled, who created their versions of post season 3 fanfics, on AO3. B_Dazzled's "I'll be Your Lab Partner, if you be my life partner" introduced the idea of Prime having children, including her version of Prince Zed (based off of the 80s show's version of Zed) I would say that the period between Season 3 and 4 was a boom of Entrapdak art and such, and come Oct 2019, I made a fanOC named back then as the Violent Gremlin. An offspring of Horde Prime who acts as his executioner, displaying the might of the Galactic Horde.

I can't really remember exactly when I made the desision to make a fanfic, but I kept creating different scenes with all these characters (Keen followed after the creation of Violence, and also a clone named Delta), and I get inspired by different content (specifically "Sonnie's Edge" from Netflix's Love Death + Robots, Ava's Demon (webcomic), Little Nightmares (game), Starport by George R. R. Martin (graphic novel), Wakfu (Netflix), moments from Fate Zero, RWBY, Daughter of the Lilies (webcomic), and a remix of a fanOC of The Spectacular Spider-man).

I had the idea that  these three kids found the transmission and then decided to explore for themselves (and their goal of defeating Prime) and then many, many things happened that involved more fanOCs, more fan lore, and getting inspired by different fan content and the increasing desire to make more OCs who are based off of me (such as Princess Corva of Pandemonia), a family member of Entrapta called Aunt Quib.

Then season 4 came along, and I realized that I wanted Entrapdak to happen much sooner, and then it started to get serious. I had the outline created before the season dropped, which is mostly a scenarios listing. Certain scenes I want to write, how the sequences will play out. I still have the online doc called "Misadventures of Zed, Violence, and Keen."

Highlights include:

Opening: spaceship falling into Etheria's orbit. Zed, Violence, a clone ('ghost', Horde Delta) and Keen are on it, and they land in the Crimson Waste.

According to Zed's intel (really a group chat of his friends of First Ones descendants, including Adam), the coordinates revealed an old First Ones project that Adam's family want to reverse the damages, amid political powers.

Problem: no outside connection aka Wifi's down.

There would have been an Overseer who helps the group, and also, manipulated events so that Hordak would go to Beast Island, and possibly created chaos. (this is now scrapped as it would’ve been too much like Deus ex Machina, but the possibility is there)

The group goes to the outpost, where they stand out and Violence makes quick work of destruction and establishes herself as the Strongest. They meet Huntara, who tells them of the Horde and the Rebellion. Zed is scared, but curious over Hordak.“The one that got away Father talked about.”

Zed gives Huntara a handshake, which allows him to see through Huntara’s memories of the Horde, the Crimson Waste, and of the Rebellion. Huntara sees Zed’s memories, and after the ordeal, is shaken. In a private booth, Zed talks with Huntara and learns about the Horde and the Rebellion.

Huntara pays for their meal, and after the trio left, Huntara tells the waitress her thoughts. “Those three are going to spell chaos for all of Etheria, for the good and bad.” The waitress said that Violence dumped an entire bottle of extremely spicy sauce on her meal and ate it all without trouble.

The group is torn over going to Bright Moon (Zed wants to learn more about magic *he can do healing and raw light manipulation* while Keen wants to go where the tech is for science, and “don’t you want to help our brother?! The one who saved us?!”) Before making a decision, they got what they needed from the ship. Keen switches backpacks, making last minute instructions to the ship.

Catra would've controlled the Horde, officially, and then a new ally arrived and caused havoc, trapping Catra.

Zed and Keen brought Hordak up to speed about Prime. (“Yeah, he’s a bit pissed you’re alive. He’ll be even more pissed when he finds out that you’re, yanno, a person.”)

The planet is dying, due to the Heart absorbing more and more magic, and in response, more and more shadows are taking over. The choice: Activate the Heart to get Etheria out of Despondos and in the pathway of Prime, or let the planet die a slow and painful death.

There would have been an appearance of King Randor (or a godly figure), and he would have mentioned how Hordak looked familiar: “There was a young boy, in our youth with the man you know as Horde Prime. I almost forgotten his name, but it was Hec-Tor Kur.” And this name triggered a memory overload that rendered Hordak unconscious, and then the Best Friend Squad (Adora, Glimmer, Bow, Catra; people who have interacted with Hordak and Prime) underwent a journey into his mind. Inception Style.

As you can see, a lot of things are Very Ambitious.

And I officially started writing the early chapters and various scenes of Survive Another Day, on March 19, 2020. And kinda flying by the seat of my pants, because when writing, new inspirations happen and apparently, scenarios get expanded on and chapters are becoming longer.

I made a buffer before the final season dropped, and I’m now even more determined to continue my fic, because I wanted to focus on character interactions, lore, and it’s more of a Wish Fulfillment because while the show is good in terms of emotional things, it was lackluster in disability rep and in resolutions. And Launch. May that episode rot

Fun thing: I did NOT plan to have the Horde Trio play a larger part in my fic when I was doing the outlines several months ago, but when I was writing that chapter, things happened and now I have a focus on character interactions and delving more into the Etherian history and why and how the Horde gained power. Bascially, a Wish Fulfillment of how I wanted Season 5 to really address.

I had the help of @thewitchoftherock for feedback, beta-reading, moments of character RP, and help. Sidenote, read her spacebat space soap opera called Synth. It’s so good X3.

Hope that answers your question! I gotta say, it’s wonderful to go down this memory lane, and to reconnect with a love of fan-writing, and to be a part of a creative group that encourages this!

Things I've learnt from the Grayskull wiki: Hordak's real name apparently Hec-Tor. And Horde Prime has a son named Prince Zed who's a smarmy ginger elf.

Welcome to cursed knowledge club.

Some Little Known Hordak Facts!

So, being new to the She-Ra/MOTU universes, I was reading Hordak's Wikipedia page to better understand his past versions and found out a lot of cool lore stuff I may incorporate into future prompts! I thought I'd share. :)

According to his original action figure box, his true name is Hec-Tor Kur, second born heir to the Horde Empire.

He has a brother or brother-in-law, named Horde Prime who rules the galaxy-wide Horde Empire who travels in a ship called the Velvet Glove. In an episode of She-Ra, 'The Peril of the Whispering Wood', Horde Prime's son, Prince Zed, calls Hordak ‘uncle.’ Also in this episode, in a letter, someone calls Zed ‘your nephew’ to Hordak. Though never ‘confirmed’, many versions of the show and their lore reflect this as being true. (The UK version explicitly states they are NOT related, however, Hordak looks different than in She-Ra.)

His home planet is known as Horde World. (The UK version says his homeworld is Acedemica.)

Hordak was Skeletor's mentor and saved him from acid burns, giving him his skeletal face and new name of Skeletor.

Hordak was betrayed by Skeletor and trapped on Etheria. He then worked hard and got to Eternia.

He defeated the Snake Men to rule Eternia, but was then defeated by King Greyskull and banished to the dimension of Despondos.

(King Greyskull may also be Hordak's brother?? According to a bio description??)

He's able to transform his mechanical body parts into weapons.

He may be able to astral project because he's been seen is astral form.

His She Ra and the Princesses of Power version has armor made of First One's tech and gives him super strength.

And, that's it! If anyone sees anything I got wrong or could add, please let me know!

SHE-RA: FYI

For those who don’t know of the Mattel’s Masters of the Universe Canon and the recent She-Ra and the Princesses of Power:

Lord Hordak was once known as Hec-Tor Kur, the second born Prince of the Horde Empire which is an technology advance Vamperic-like race.

Coming from vastly superior race of mixing magic and technology and known conquering other planets and Demensons, Hec-Tur actually joined a group of sorcerers and save the universe from an unnamed evil.

Yeah he was once a good guy and hero from the past thousands and thousands years ago. Before King Greyskull, He-Man and She-ra and the others.

At some point he betrayed his comrades for power—absolute power.

That is something you guys need to think about.

Huevember Day 4 - Emerald - Prince Hec-Tor

Another entry for the Where One Fell verse by @revasnaslan. This time I drew Hec-Tor (Hordak) along with one of his prototypes, Trinket. There are some AU inaccuracies (I don’t actually remember if Trinket is supposed to look this close to Emily’s design, for example), but I had fun!

I love reading about Hec-tor’s creativity in this AU <3

[emperorsfoot]

Question for Hordak fans: If someone were to write an AU in which Hordak actually was Horde Prime’s younger brother and not a clone -like in the original- how would you feel about the narrative calling him by his old name ‘Hec-Tor’ instead of Hordak? Would it enrich the world-building, or just be confusing?
