my SPOP universe pt. 2 - character bios ( still very long )

.

disclaimer // note - it'll be SPOP-focused, but i do take a 'few' things from the original show and implement them here.

preferred style(s) - ATLA // LOK, ROTTMNT, LMK ( s1-s4 ), Spiderverse, or Kill la Kill

( part of the reason for these styles is the VFX, battle coordination, and creature // environmental design, esp with vibrant media like Spiderverse, ROTTMNT, and LMK )

.

theme song - something akin to "The Call" by League of Legends or "The World That Ends in Three Days" by Koji Kondo, ROZEN, & Celica Soldream.

rating - PG-15 ( i'm not a writer for young children and don't handle things in a very kid-friendly way )

note - here's some gender // sexuality hcs of the characters, though it isn't all of them.

.

established changes:

the runestones don't exist

the cast is 18+ unless stated otherwise

roles will be changed for plot relevance or sense ( for ex, neither perfuma, entrapta, scorpia, spinerella, or netossa are royals )

the first ones are not evil

mara and adora are the only she-ras

most ships will remain noncanon

there's no white people here, sorry

.

cast ( pt. 2 ) . . .

Light Hope - First Ones' Artificial Intelligence, Mentor of Adora, Old Friend of Mara's. Age is unknown, 7'0, was created by the First Ones to aid in She-Ra's journey of heroism. however, due to an incident, she has lost a few memory files relating to the past.

having suffered the loss of Mara, the incident she doesn't recall, and being forced to dormancy, Light Hope became repressed in her emotions and thought process, only focusing on She-Ra and her destiny. but there are moments where her original programming takes over and she is warmer with Adora. it is very sporadic and can come off as off-putting.

despite her orders, she is much like the heroine herself, craving connection more than anything else, but her coding doesn't fully understand this. as a result, Light Hope is unintentionally self-destructive or sabotaging, overriding her desires with the objective of her creation.

the sorest point of hers is it frustrates her most that she can't even remember the name of who created her.

design would be inspired by Spark by sleeepybacon, Vahagn by ollyc_herb, and Heidi by boots.ocs. instead of a hologram, i decided to make her a robot ( partially for personal design reasons ), and she'd have at least minor rusting on the metal plating.

theme song - Oath to Order by Koji Kondo & Aaron Grubb

-

Mara - First She-Ra, Protector of Eternia, The Last Star. Late 20s to Early 30s, 5'9, was a Princess turned General at a young age and had been involved with the First Ones her entire life. history of her is limited and scattered over Etheria, but it's evident that her end was devastating.

before her time as She-Ra, Mara was a kind, genuine soul with a passion for nature and magic. the First Ones always had trouble with her from childhood to early teenhood, where she had a tendency to wander around and run away from home at any hour to explore.

but, due to her training, amongst other things, she did not have any peers. at least, not ones that wanted to spend time with her. so, when Light Hope was created, this adventurous side of her was only emphasized and she desperately wanted to show her new friend the world around them and continue learning.

after becoming She-Ra, she slowly changed. hardly having time for her interests, constantly training and needing to improve, answering distress signals, Mara became worn and a shell of her former self. long gone were the days of adventure, of her talking to Light Hope endlessly, of showing all the exciting things she found. she didn't have the spark in her eyes anymore.

until she made a choice.

and that choice involved a baby.

design would be inspired by Momoka by kienan_lafferty, Kiraya by kleahvii, and Asteria by dewfroq. a young, starry-eyed child to an older, war-torn woman, doomed by fate until the very end. even when she was at her happiest.

theme song - Terrible Fate ( Remixed ) by Theophany

-

Madame Razz ( Regina ) - The Witch of the Whispering Woods, Friend of Bow, Unofficial Guardian of Mara and Adora. 60s-70s ( by appearance ), 6'2, is a mysterious, but very spritely witch that resides in the Whispering Woods, which is why the Rebellion has it as their security. because of her nature and age, Razz is often underestimated.

her memories are affected by her age, which makes her use a journal to write spells and important information she'll otherwise forget. usually, though, Broom writes it down for her.

Razz tends to confuse Adora for Mara, due to their shared features and having a similar name ( 'ra' ), but she wouldn't treat the young woman any differently regardless. she loves them both very much.

but where has her Mara gone?

design would be inspired by Grandma Aldreda by canarywitch, Gnomus by pen.lilixeesketche, and The Outcast Comic by xeonsoda. i looked up Twiggets and, while there's not a lot of information about them, the i do wanna learn more into the nature and obscuring the face aspect of the original.

theme song - Tatl & Tael by Aaron Grubb

-

Mermista ( Elaysia ) - Princess of Salineas, Daughter of King Mercia, The Pearl of the Seas, Best Friend of Seahawk's. 21 yrs old, 5'5, lost her mother in the war at a young age and has a strained relationship with her father, due to his grief leading him to making less than optimal decisions.

taking after her mother, Mermista is ambitious, bold, composed, and a bit of a bookworm. disregarding her father's beliefs of leaving the Horde be, she often isn't home and is instead rescuing prisoners // slaves from Hordak's rule alongside Seahawk, an ex-pirate and old friend of hers.

in her downtime, she's much more laidback and sassy, finding fun in banter, wisecracks, and conversation about literature or history. but she's definitely not against having a few adventures of her own.

design would be inspired by Storyteller by sleeepybacon, Indy by nahusnab, and Silence of Dawn Illustration by elentori. due to her real name and its origin, there might be Greek inspiration in her design and the environments of Salineas mixed in. absolutely want to make her merfolk side more present.

theme song - Zora's Domain by Music Legends

-

Seahawk ( Jeoff ) - The Captain of Solar Sailor, Ex-Pirate of the Seas, Best Friend of Mermista's. 20 yrs old, 6'1, raised by his father, Falcon, until he suddenly disappeared without a trace. for nearly a decade after that, he became a pirate that eventually aided the Horde for some time, until Mermista came along. though the history is unclear, it is obvious the two have a bond that can't be broken.

he's always held regret for his actions and continues to atone for them to this day, showing he is a hardworking and compassionate person underneath. before the Rebellion grew, he and Mermista worked together and apart to mess with the Horde's plans.

during the Rebellion's growth, the two joined after Adora, Glimmer, and Bow aided them in their personal mission. Seahawk grows to have a particular fondness for Bow.

in his downtime, he's usually either sculpting, writing, or darting.

design would be inspired by Marcus and Iulius by distyx and aliceperazzolo, Monroe by reddsmess, and Benny by linxy_animations_official. yeah, he's basically the 1980s' version with some rewritten details, what of it? oh, and he's bulky. good for hugs.

-

Frosta ( Min // Mackenzie ) - Queen of the Kingdom of Snows, Ice Empress of Etheria, The Ice Witch. 18 yrs old, 5'2, became an orphan at the age of 13 and has been Queen ever since, assisted by their royal advisor and guards.

to the people, they are compassionate, understanding, and talkative. but to complete strangers, Frosta is frigid and has a tendency to come off as condescending or hostile, but it sprouts from the protectiveness over their Kingdom and not wanting further pain after the loss of their fathers.

in spite of this, though, they are the warmest with Mermista and Seahawk out of everyone else involved with the Royals. Seahawk even makes them laugh.

design would be inspired by Ria by pearljeli, Ning Suzhen by artzy_paw, Takashi Naoki by meijinn, and Arya by lapstle. i've had thoughts on them being a Magicat as well, for a couple of reasons. unfortunately, i'll have to reinvent the species from the ground up, since Nate didn't do anything with them.

theme song - Midna's Lament by Video Game Players

-

Perfuma ( Tara ) - The Wandering Flower, The Flower Maiden, Nature's Caretaker. 22 yrs old, 6'3, a lone nomad who travels across Etheria, making her very difficult to find if you're not paying attention. she was kidnapped by the Horde, due to her indifference and pacifism towards them. because she didn't make fuss, no one knew she was captured to begin with.

she's very bubbly and energetic, often seeing the best of a situation, even if it's unlikely to happen. having a strong belief in friendship, love, and self-care, Perfuma is always willing to help when she can, physically or emotionally, and thrives on bonding with others, even with her enemies.

because of her outgoing nature and complete indifference to anyone attacking her, there have been multiple stories about her around Etheria, with many people thinking she's either an unstoppable force or a magnet for trouble.

design would be inspired by Bonnie by ayegyolk, Unnamed OC by kleahvii, Sorrel by idolomantises, and Lottie by sleeepybacon. her species would be of an orchid moth ( or moth orchid? ), which i think are very cute and fit her well.

please stop scrolling and take the time to read this.

i don't think people understand the extent of the horror happening in palestine right now. "death" means nothing to people because of desensitisation so let me just tell you what white phosphorus is. it's being used in israeli munitions and has been and will continue to be fired across gaza and the palestinian borders.

white phosphorus burns when it comes into contact with oxygen (at nearly 800°C or 1500°F. the human body can withstand ~50°C for reference.) the air you breathe in ignites and it is near impossible extinguish. it sticks to clothing and skin and is very difficult to remove because it will continue to ignite in air. it burns flesh up to the bone and even past the bone because it penetrates tissue and is absorbed VERY easily. if you inhale it it'll destroy your respiratory tract and lungs. it can cause failure in multiple organs including the liver, kidneys and heart. it is being released in one of the most densely populated places on earth.

the only way to treat someone exposed to white phosphorus is to submerge them in saline or water and to pick out the substance with forceps, and when you undress a wound the substance can re-ignite. this is just ONE weapon that is being used to kill palestinian people right now. palestine does not have access to medical care, humanitarian aid, power, or internet. their hospitals are being bombed. gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world with over 50% of the population being children. many children are the sole survivors of their families. there are videos of children experiencing panic attacks and symptoms of ptsd. the fact that israel has committed war crimes in plain sight means that we can only imagine what will happen to the palestinians in complete darkness.

israel has and will continue to deny this. your interests and fandom will still be here, you will wake up tomorrow morning and see your friends and family, but an entire nation of people are being wiped off the map. being silent is being complacent. reblog, spread information, tell people in real life, attend protests, sign petitions, call your government offices, at the very least be angry and upset and horrified because once you become numb and indifferent and hopeless the oppressors will have already won.

what's happening right now is more than a genocide and once it becomes a part of history we'll wonder how the world let this happen. genocides have been part of all nations. just because it is far away does not mean you don't have to be concerned. the fact that YOUR governments and YOUR idols and the people around YOU are supporting the mass eradication of an entire group of people should scare you. it shouldn't make you feel anything less than sick and angry and disgusted. DO something about it, no matter how small you feel your voice is, because palestinians no longer have one.

+ a further reblog of mine

[edit 2] about palestinians "not having a voice" at the time i wrote this post internet connection was cut off entirely and even journalists weren't able to report for a period of time — that is all i meant by that. they of course have a voice and i never meant to undermine how people are risking their lives in gaza to get information out there and i apologise if thats what people took from it, it was not my intention but it is entirely my bad. please continue to spread information and updates from gaza as they come.

The indescribable tension between an overworked and underpaid smut writer, and his biggest fan hater.

(for @frummpets)

[everytimewetouch-dot-mp3]

cang qiong dragon god shen yuan is probably like so old that time doesn’t have meaning? like he transmigrated into pidw as a dragon and and the system gave him a few missions that functionally amounted to ‘claim this mountain range as your territory and defend it from demons’

sy didn’t realize that he was actually laying the foundation for cang qiong mountain sect before its creation. some terrifying demon demigod (one of the first heavenly demons, maybe?) pursues a band of cultivators to his mountain range, and he protects them. they settle his mountains and start cultivating, and because they’re protected by a literal god (who they call lord canglong, and they name the mountains after him) people want to study there.

so cqms is born, and sy takes a nap. when he wakes up, those cultivators he saved bring another group of cultivators, all named 'wen' to his mountain, and they ask his permission to lead the peaks next. another nap, and he wakes up to the wen generation asking his blessing for the ming generation, so on and so forth up until the qing generation. this time he recognizes names: qingge, qingfang, qingqi. this generation's leader, qingyuan. and the one whose bow is shallow and perfunctory, qingqiu. ofc sy isn't super pressed about standing on ceremony or whatever—he's only experienced like six years in this world, and most of them were spent either establishing the mountain as his territory or helping his little cultivators fight off some world-ending cataclysm or other. but he remembers the scum villain’s name, and he’s not a huge fan of the way sqq’s already proving himself to be an arrogant old shit

just like every other time, after he’s met and blessed this generation of peak lords, shen yuan falls asleep. shit!!! he meant to stay awake this time, but the system putting him to sleep is just too powerful! he’s probably missed luo binghe, damnit!!! what’s the point of transmigrating into this shitty novel if he doesn’t even get to meet the only character worth the pixels it took to type him into existence??

but as soon as he sees that fluffy-haired boy curled up in one of his caves, bruised and weeping and wondering what he’s done to be so universally hated, shen yuan knows. that’s his protagonist, and he’s really too pathetic like this. he’s really just a child. and shen yuan might have been easily annoyed by the concept of kids in his first life, but this isn’t just some whiny kid. this is the protagonist. so he does his best to calm tiny lord luo down.

and at first when lbh realizes it’s the fucking dragon god canglong speaking to him, the poor kid falls on his face kowtowing and apologizing for the intrusion, but lord canglong just…asks him what’s wrong. and then listens. and then he allows binghe to…to touch his hand???? not only that, he pats binghe’s head?? and tells him it isn’t his fault??? that one little head-pat is filled with so much spiritual power that binghe almost passes out, and soon after he recovers, lord canglong sends him back down the mountain with a renewed sense of purpose. lord canglong said binghe wasn’t stupid, wasn’t incompetent, wasn’t a failure, and binghe was determined to prove himself worthy of the sect’s guardian deity’s kindness.

and when luo binghe turns to walk down the mountain back to qing jing peak, that google translate voice pipes up in shen yuan’s ear with an update he hadn’t realized he was waiting for.

[Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations! Important things must be said three times! USER_002 has completed the quest {From the Ground Up}! B-points +500 USER_002 has initiated the quest {Master of Masters}! New skill [Shapeshifter] has been unlocked! Would USER_002 like to activate [Shapeshifter] now?]

shen yuan slammed the bright glowing [YES] faster than any quest the system had ever given him. that’s how he learned that he was, in fact, just naked in front of luo binghe, and the [Shapeshifter] skill didn’t come with an auto-clothed setting. thank fuck he’d already sent the protagonist away!

i genuinely don't care how good a piece of ai generated art or writing looks on the surface. i don't care if it emulates brush strokes and metaphor in a way indistinguishable from those created by a person.

it is not the product of thoughtful creation. it offers no insights into the creator's life or viewpoint. it has no connection to a moment in time or a place or an attitude. it has no perspective. it has no value.

it's empty, it's hollow, and it exists only to generate clicks (and by extension, ad revenue.)

it's just another revolting symptom of the disease that is late stage capitalism, and it fucking sucks.

[egophiliac]

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KNIGHT...

the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin

this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.

you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.

also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.

�� I have a tip jar (ko-fi)!
