🧐 🤔 So MOTU: Revolution made Keldor extra beefy? Him having a pretty face seems to be his staple ever since 200X He-Man introduced him.
I mean... Keldor always was beefy.
Being beefy and having a pretty face have always been a staple of him.

I watched Masters of the Universe: Revolution recently and I thought it was Better than Masters of the Universe: Revelation Part 1 & 2. However there was a Moment in this MOTU Cartoon that completely Surprised me.
SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't seen Masters of the Universe: Revolution yet!
We all thought that Skeletor from Masters of the Universe: Revelation & Revolution was a Demon from another Dimension. The Masters of the Universe: Revelation Comic-Series (the Prequel to the actual Masters of the Universe: Revelation Cartoon) showed us the Homeworld of Skeletor & his Species. But the 3rd Episode of Masters of the Universe: Revolution showed us that Skeletor was never a Demon from another Dimension, but was Keldor the whole Time.
It surprised me too.
I read the tie-in comic they published for Revelation and it used the origin that Skeletor was from another dimension, and they gave him an unnecessary family and made him a hero to his people.
Now, knowing that those were fake memories implanted by Hordak, it actually makes more sense. It sounded fake when reading it, I just assumed Skeletor was an unreliable narrator. Turns out, to Skeletor that was true, but not for the reason I thought.
AND I'M SO HAPPY THEY GAVE ME KELDOR! <3
I love this man!
To finally see him crowned king <3, then watch him deteriorate into the bitter shell of a man his poor life choices have made him, and see him defeated and brooding in a cell under Castle Grayskull~ *chef's kiss* Its the Keldor story I always wanted. The only thing it was missing was unnecessary bisexual mention between Lyn, Keldor, and Hordak. (But I have AO3 for that.)
And they gave me a flashback of his childhood too!
Look at this precious child!
This mischievous little scamp grows up to become the single most evil being in the universe.
He is my son.

There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"

Reminder: Jewish indigeneity is not a threat to any other ethnic group. It’s just a fact. Acknowledging Jews as indigenous to the levant doesn’t actually harm any Palestinians. Palestinian indigeneity does not actually rely on Jews NOT being indigenous. Multiple peoples can be indigenous to the same place.

Sad that she is gone now. But then again, what is magic for...
Especially when it's the power of the entire universe

Been thinking more on my earlier idea of Keldor being faced with Henry VIII type dilemmas.
I figure that Eternian monarchies may not follow *all* of the same rules as monarchies here on Earth. That said regnant queens don't appear too common on Eternia in the Filmation cartoon. I remember the Queen of Phantoms, but I'm drawing a blank otherwise.
Etherian queens reigning in their own right were more common, though kings are also seen.
I would be curious to explore the possibility that perhaps Keldor himself pushes for his eldest daughter to rule after him and maybe encounter opposition from Miro. Maybe the frustration of his ideas being dismissed all the time finally drives him to seek life elsewhere.
I need to do a rewatch, but Skeletor doesn't seem to dismiss women out of hand though he's made a few sexist comments. When Adora pretends to faint he says "eh, just like a woman!"
He does though take Evil Lyn pretty seriously and of all his minions, treats her the most equally and gives her opinion the most weight.
I could see a less cynical Keldor push for his daughters to rule after him.

I had this musing for an AU for Prince Keldor where he has Henry VIII type problems like the wife gives birth to like, four daughters,vans King Miro just gives up waiting and makes Random his successor.
Stuff like this occurs to me because I'm really interested in how tweaking a variable or two affects subsequent happenings like ripples in a pond.
Does Keldor turn into an abusive tyrant like Henry VIII before vanishing to become Skeletor or does he remain kind to his wife until he disappears?
Just stuff I think about when I'm bored.

Valley of Power
Adam and Teela take a field trip to a valley with a magic spring that only flows once every 1000 years. Unfortunately, some guy (look, I know Skeletor can’t be in every episode, but why can’t he be) has stolen an egg from the valley’s guardian bird-pterodactyl-dragon-thing. He hatches the egg, drinks the magic water, and goes on a rampage while Battle-Cat gets a surprising amount of dialogue and He-Man learns to fly the hard way.
Episode Highlights:
Teela in a giant bird nest. She must be having the wildest déjà vu right now.
I’M LEARNING TO FLY BUT I AIN’T GOT WINGS / COMING DOWN IS THE HARDEST THING
The Sorceress’ magic potion lab. She’s got Mother’s Understanding, Baby Love, Anger Reducer, Baby’s Cry, and…. Uh, what’s in that last bottle?
Orko gets into the hard shit.
This shot gets recycled about 100 times in this episode. They worked hard on it, okay!
Moral: Enjoy nature, but don’t mess with it.

An update to the Galactic Horde collab between Draculadana and myself. Here's one extra shiny and eager Horde General ready to serve. 😂 He has even donned some clawpolish for the occasion. The full piece is still in progress, however we're super excited to post the finished drawing soon-ish.

As we enter the second wave of toys, a new She-Ra and Swift Wind have to be explained to the consumer, so Adora and Spirit wander through an interdimensional portal into a beautiful land called Crystal World. Josh is there.
Transcript/Image ID below the cut
[Image Description: 14 comic pages from the She-Ra mini-comic, “Across the Crystal Light Barrier”.
Cover: Starburst She-Ra stands with arms spread high to show off her sparkles, Crystal Swift Wind at her side. They’re standing atop a mountain made of glittering crystal, beneath the Princess of Power logo. At the bottom of the page, “Across the Crystal Light Barrier” is written and actually outlined, though still definitely not the color I would have gone with. Beneath that, in a small font, it reads, “Illustrations: (copyright symbol) Mattel, Inc. 1985 Hawthorne CA 90250 U.S.A. PRINTED IN HONG KONG. All Rights Reserved. (registered trademark symbol) and TM designate U.S. trademarks of Mattel, Inc.
The coloring style from this issue on becomes more pastel, and the gouache is blended more, giving it a softer feeling.
Page 1: A pink caption box reads, “Outings in Etheria are always very special and today’s picnic had been no exception. Adora smiled as Josh and Bow leaned against a fruit tree, the picnic basket empty and their bellies full. Spirit and Arrow stood nibbling at the lumps of sugar Glimmer held out in her hand.” Which pretty much covers the illustration. Adora is sitting on a blanket with the empty picnic basket.
Josh was apparently slated to be the Robin to Bow’s Batman at one point, but he never did get an official design, so this is just ‘generic blond man’. A second pink caption box at the bottom of the page contains the credits, “Produced exclusively for Mattel by: Writer… Tina Harris & Eric Frydler. Penciler… Jim Mitchell. Inker… Todd Kurosawa. Colorist… Charles Simpson. Editor: Joan Dumbauld & Lee Nordling”.
“Want to race, Adora?” asks Glimmer. The composition on this page is leaps and bounds over the previous issue. Whatever Jim Mitchell was doing between waves one and two, I appreciate it.
“Sure! Come on!” says Adora.
End Page 1.
Page 2: Adora and Glimmer mounted up. The second Bow fired his starting arrow, they took off! Galloping down the orchard path, they disappeared from sight. Neck-in-neck [sic], they raced against each other. Adora and Glimmer sped over field and stream, dashing wildly along the winding path.” So apparently we’re just going for outright narration. That’s cool. Kind of a weird decision in a comic, but I’m not a cop. Bow shoots his starting arrow and the girls take off, Adora on Spirit and Glimmer on Arrow.
A beautifully colored panel of the race in partial silhouette.
A rounded white caption box reads, “Suddenly, a mysterious burst of light appeared from nowhere!” and we see Adora rear back on Spirit, who balks at a stylized glow.
End Page 2.
Page 3: A pink caption box reads, “Adora and Spirit slowed their pace. Startled, Arrow bolted, throwing Glimmer from his back”. Arrow is rearing and our heroes are walking sedately into the light.
End Page 3.
Page 4: A lavender caption box reads, “Rounding the bend, Josh and Bow hurried to see the race’s finish. They found Glimmer on the ground and helped her to her feet. "Where is Adora?" Bow asked. "I don’t know," Glimmer replied. "She just disappeared!" "Over here!" Adora cried. I’ve crossed the Crystal Light Barrier." Missed some quotation marks there. Another reason not to use them in caption boxes. Adora and Spirit’s silhouette is distorted by the field of light and Josh’s hair is brown now.
“Spirit and I are lost in a strange and wondrous land!” says Adora.
End Page 4.
Page 5: A lavender caption box reads, “There Adora and Spirit stood, across a bottomless crack. "Arrow and I will save you!" Bow exclaimed. Glimmer begged him not to go and Adora breathed a word of caution. "She’s right. It’s much too dangerous. We’ll have to find our own way back to Etheria."" Adora and Spirit stare down into a foggy abyss, surrounded by crystal.
“Come on, Spirit! Maybe we can find someone to help us,” says Adora.
End Page 5.
Page 6: A pink caption box reads, “Adora and her faithful steed wandered for many miles. Above them shone a bright rainbow sun. All around them, jewel-like mountain tops and petrified flowers glistened under the strange light.” over an illustration of exactly that.
“How beautiful!” says Adora, smiling.
End Page 6.
Page 7: A lavender caption box reads, “Soon they came upon a dazzling sight–a glittering herd of horses, unlike any they had ever seen before! Each horse had a color all its own–and each one shone like crystal! "Spirit, look!" Adora cried. "We’ve found help at last! But who can these beauties be?"" Adora points at a group of seven sparkling steeds, each with a pair of feathered (crystalline) wings.
“We are the Guardians of Crystal World,” says a voice from off panel.
“Who…? What…?” asks Adora, looking around.
End Page 7.
Page 8: A lavender caption box reads, “The voice belonged to a sleek, crystal horse named Crystal Moonbeam. Adora quickly spoke to him. "We came across the Barrier and now we can’t get back." The lavender stallion nodded. "Recrossing the Crystal Light Barrier is certainly most difficult."" And I have to tell you, this horse is not lavender. His toy is a translucent violet, but this comic has him a soft periwinkle, cut through with orange light because he’s made of crystal.
“Quite soon, you and your horse will become like us,” says Crystal Moonbeam, ominously.
“You mean we will turn into crystal?” asks Adora. Neither she nor Spirit seem thrilled at the possibility.
End Page 8.
Page 9: A pink caption box reads, “Crystal Moonbeam nodded gravely. "Yes. Anyone who touches the ground of Crystal World must change." But Adora hadn’t changed at all!” There was plenty of room for dialogue boxes saying this. Why even make this a comic?
“I haven’t stepped from Spirit’s back,” says Adora. “I haven’t touched your world."
“Then, there may be a chance,” says Crystal Moonbeam.
End Page 9.
Page 10: A lavender caption box reads, “Dashing to his herd, Crystal Moonbeam returned with a sparkling filly. "This is my sister Crystal Sun Dancer," the lavender horse whinnied. "She knows the way across the Crystal Light Barrier."" The still distinctly un-lavender Crystal Moonbeam introduces them to a slightly smaller, yellowy orange horse.
“But to cross the Barrier again, you must have the power to fly!” says Crystal Moonbeam.
“The crack is too deep to risk crossing it any other way,” says Crystal Sun Dancer.
End Page 10.
Page 11: Adora raises her arms and becomes Starburst She-Ra, with a long flowing cape with two wrist loops. Swift Wind becomes Crystal Swift Wind, a transparent pink plasticine version of himself. Herself? What are Swift Wind's pronouns this wave? The horse is see-through now. They have wings and a golden pleather mask, complete with unicorn horn. Light and sparkles radiate off the pair of them as they transform.
A pink caption box reads, "Adora unsheathed her Sword of Protection at once and raised it to the sky. In an instant, she and Spirit were transformed. Crystal World echoed with her powerful cry. "For the honor of Grayskull, I am She-Ra!"
End Page 11.
Page 12: "Swift Wind! Walking here in Crystal World has given you a crystal sheen!" says She-Ra, smiling as she reaches around to touch Swift Wind's face.
A pink caption box reads, "Crystal Sun Dancer, Crystal Moonbeam, She-Ra and Crystal Swift Wind glowed with an unearthly energy as they leaped toward the deep opening. With a brilliant burst of color, they broke through the Crystal Barrier and vanished—gone!" as we see all three winged horses take flight, Swift Wind carrying She-Ra, surrounded by glowing and sparkles.
"We'd better change back fast before our friends find out our secret!" says She-Ra, dismounting from Swift Wind and spreading her arms to show off her new starburst cape. Crystal Moonbeam and Crystal Sun Dancer aren't in frame, but they're still around, I promise.
End Page 12.
Page 13: A pink caption box reads, "Meanwhile, in Etheria, Bow, Glimmer and Josh had been looking high and low for Adora and Spirit. Suddenly Bow heard a rustling sound behind him." Right, Josh is here. I forgot about him already. He's a brunet now. He's holding onto his belt and kind of pouting at the panel gutter, while Glimmer stares forlornly at her staff (here a pink and blue rendition that looks more like a clock than the toy-accurate rose-with-jewel). Bow looks over his shoulder at the approaching Adora, Spirit, Crystal Sun Dancer, and Crystal Moonbeam. A mountain range towers behind her, and the few trees we can see are full of orange… bubbles? Transparent fruit? They've missed a few of the leaf portions. Sloppy work, Skip, but you were dealt a poor hand here.
"Adora! Where have you been? We've been worried," says Bow, with an uncomfortable smile.
"Oh Bow! I've been in a wonderful land called Crystal World," says Adora. These last two panels were just close-ups, but the backgrounds have some really beautiful gradients on them. It really seems like they were going for more of a 'storybook' feel from this wave on.
End Page 13.
Page 14: A lavender caption box reads, ""Tell us, Adora, who are your new friends?" Bow asked. Adora made introductions all around and Glimmer fairly gleamed. "Oh Spirit, with your crystal coat, you're more beautiful than ever!"" Josh and Arrow smile on as Glimmer and Bow greet the new, shinier version of Spirit. Adora has an arm slung around Spirit's neck, while Crystal Sun Dancer and Crystal Moonbeam watch with smiles of their own.
"It is exciting to see another land…" says Adora.
"But it's so much better to come home to my friends!" she finishes, in the traditional red used for a minicomic's 'moral'. So… I guess the moral is don't wander into interdimensional portals? Traveling might seem cool but you're going to enjoy going home way more? Who knows. Bow, Glimmer, and Josh have all shuffled places, but they're crowded around Adora now, horses nowhere in sight. Everyone's smiling contentedly.
