Inspiration for SPOP Glimmer's design
To start out, the overall design of SPOP Glimmer is quite similar to her Filmation counterpart:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her design is also probably inspired by Filmation concept art of Glimmer, as seen in the Filmation She-Ra series bible:
Tumblr media
There are other influenced from the series bible, that didn't make into the series proper, like Glimmer being a teen:
Tumblr media
As well some elements of her personality:
Tumblr media
Indeed, it also presents the idea Glimmer has multi-colored hair, like she has in SPOP. Of course, Filmation Glimmer also was quite similar to this description, but Filmation and SPOP Glimmer also have similarities in terms of personality, and even stroylines.
Glimmer's staff (in SPOP originally Micah's) is also something she had as a toy and in comics and books:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Justine Dantzer's (the creator of the most prototypical versions of She-Ra cast) very original design of Glimmer, was another possible influence - having wing-like cape (like SPOP Glimmer's cape resembles folded bird wings), or folded angel-wings (also connecting to Glimmer's angel-wings birth mark, and temporary wings she got when she assumed the role of the Queen, and full power of the Moonstone in "The Coronation") (you know, aside from being Angella's daughter), shoes with wings, and an asymmetrical motive:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(it also seems Justine Dantzer's design for Glimmer was split into Glimmer and Queen Angella)
Glimmer's hair is interesting, as it has influences outside Filmation and MOTU. Specifically, Glimmer's hairstyle for first 3 seasons, is based on that of Cutie Honey:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was even further referenced in Glimmer's fantasy in "Roll with It", were she imagines herself as Cutie Honey-like heroine:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(It also confirms Glimmer is an Etherian equivalent of weeb XD)
Glimmer's (as does Queen Angella's) hair also have further inspiration and symbolism - they resemble the sky during dawn:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The fact Glimmer has stars in the purple part of her hair, while Angella doesn't, also signifies that during Angella rule, the stars were absent from Etheria's sky, while Glimmer, if accidentally, "returned the stars" during her rule as queen, and they stayed that way.
Glimmer's short eyebrows, also probably reference the Japanese Hikimayu tradition/fashion among the Japanese royal court and latter female (and sometimes male) aristocrats in general, of shaving or plucking natural eyebrows, and painting shorter, rounder ones :
Tumblr media
This is probably to emphasize Glimmer's (Etherian Equivalent) of East Asian descent from Micah. This also present often in design of characters in anime, particularly of some level of noble or royal descent:
Tumblr media
Izumo Kamiki from Blue Exorcist
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki from Naruto and Boruto.
Glimmer's design in seasons 4 and 5, is also intentionally closer to her Filmation design, but also resembles Nate Stevenson's initial design for Glimmer:

80s Hordak is old and strange
Unlike He-Man and Skeletor, who were created by toy designers, Hordak seems to have been created at Filmation, by the late Larry DiTillio.
Tumblr media
The character went through a variety of designs, at one early stage being a rather barbaric-looking man with a prosthetic arm. Some later designs gave him a much more inhuman head and two regular arms, with it eventually being decided that his arm would transform into a cannon.
Tumblr media
DiTillio’s script for “The Secret of the Sword” AKA “The Sword of She-Ra” (credit also to Bob Forward, who wrote Part 3, “She-Ra Unchained”, as divided for TV) also introduced Hordak transforming his entire body into a rocket and a drill.
The other important thing to note about TSoS is that the Sorceress of Grayskull reveals to Adora and He-Man that the reason she was raised by Hordak is that he stole her as an infant from her birth parents, the king and queen of the planet Eternia, because they repelled a Horde invasion. With him throughout the invasion was his favorite student... Skeletor.
Tumblr media
(Note how Hordak looked completely different below the neck a couple decades earlier. Similar to the armor of Horde Troopers, in fact.)
By Episode 17, “A Loss for Words”, the animators had expanded on this ability to make him transform into a four-armed wheeled vehicle, a different drill machine, a tank with arms instead of a gun, and a different rocket.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
... what even are you, Hordak? A blue muscleman wearing a helmet who casts spells to transform all or part of your body into machines? That, but with an exposed skull for a head, like a more alien version of Skeletor? Or a Transformer (that can eat pie)?
But let’s backtrack a bit. Before all this was finalized, a toy designer took a Filmation model sheet and modified it for the character’s action figure.
Tumblr media
His head became more organic, less smoothly metallic. The black wrist bands turned into gloves, he got a cape and his skin turned gray. He had the same loincloth as He-Man (which was also true of the Filmation model sheets) and the same muscular chest under his armor, making it clear that THIS Hordak was not a robot or cyborg.
I say “this Hordak” as not only did he look different but the Horde depicted in the mini-comics packed with the toys was blatantly a different continuity from She-Ra and cartoon He-Man ... until it wasn’t.
Tumblr media
And IMMEDIATELY upon citing the She-Ra cartoon as canon, writer Steven Grant drops this bombshell:
Tumblr media
King Hiss was magically banished thousands of years ago to a timeless dimension, but he knows who Hordak is! So Hordak himself must be at least that old, a fact there was no hint of in She-Ra.
Nor was this just a quickly-forgotten reference. Continuity was pretty tight in the 1986 mini-comics with King Hiss, continuing into 1987.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So not only is Hordak thousands of years old, he was once an engineer who knew how to conduct Good and Evil into a building like they’re electrical current or something. Clearly there’s much more to this guy than just being an evil dictator.
That, I think, is key to the mystery of why Hordak was so nice to Adora, rather than abusing her into becoming evil (as the writers of the 2010s DC comic considered only logical). Besides it being a cartoon appropriate for little kids, of course.

Thoughts on Talia joining the batfam with her own bird themed vigilante identity?
it could be fun, but it doesn't really fit Talia imo. we see in her lexcorp era that the change she wants to bring happens at a higher level. she can and will fight with words and play mindgames all day, surround herself with people she loathes to take them down. even earlier, she's not someone who enjoys fighting physically. she's great at it, but it's satisfying for her the way it is for someone like Bruce. she has other ways of pursuing justice, and she doesn't need a mask for those.

I've been thinking again of a SPOP - Classic Mega Man crossover and thinking about how interesting a meeting between Adora and Rock would be. If there's someone who could use the "It doesn't always have to be you" lesson it's Rock.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rock choosing the burden of Mega Man because someone has to do it while still feeling the pain that comes with being his world's champion as opposed to being raised for a great destiny like Adora would create great contrast between, both with Rock being a robot and much younger than her.
Like the excellent song The Message From Dr. Light by The Megas that was later put in Mega Man's comic adaptation says: The burden in Rock's heart was not given to him by his father. It's not part of his programing, it's something he built for himself looking at the chaos brought by Dr. Wily. "Mega Man" is his curse to bear to create the world where humans and robots can live together that he and his family dream of. If not Rock than who?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Much as it pains Thomas and Roll to see their son and brother have taken on this fight everyday, they know they could never stop him from being Mega Man, but what Adora could help Rock with is making him realize that he doesn't have to carry this burden doesn't till it burns out. He has his family with him, he doesn't have to carry on alone, even if it's his choice. Being Mega Man doesn't have to be a burden if he let's the people who love him help him carry it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just my thoughts on this cooky idea of how two of my favorite characters meeting would go.

SPOP Catra inspiration
Another part of my series. Catra, as others takes inspiration from multiple sources. Catra's costume/design in the first 3 seasons (and also her season 4 and 5 looks), seem to be inspired quite a lot by one of Filmation's designs for her, one younger and more girlish looking compared to the final one:
Tumblr media
Early Filmation concept art of Catra
Tumblr media
Catra in seasons 1-3 of SPOP
Tumblr media
Model sheet of Catra is seasons 4 and early 5
Tumblr media
Catra in season 5
This design has a very visible influence on Catra's overall costumes in SPOP, as well as her wild mane of hair, and a rather younger looking design.
To be clear, Catra's also takes inspiration from her Filmation design, with her colors, mask design, these being especially visible in her season 4 (and early season 5) look:
Tumblr media
It's also quite obvious this early concept of Catra, also has a lion mask, as Catra was to originally transform into a lioness or (maned) were-lioness, as conceived by her (and Princess of Power) original designer, Justine Dantzer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The original concept by Justine Dantzer, also seems to have influenced SPOP Catra's design
Catra's design went through a number of iterations.
Another one was of a literal cat-girl (or it seems, tiger-girl):
Tumblr media
Indeed, Catra still turned into a tiger in the UK She-Ra comics:
Tumblr media
These concept arts seem to have influenced Catra in SPOP having leonine and tiger-like traits, and well being a literal cat-girl.
Another one was closer to her final design (but still having visible elements from the first Filmation concept and and that by Justine Dantzer):
Tumblr media
Other Filmation concept art of Catra, including her transforming into a maned lioness/were-lioness, and another wearing her lion mask and having a tail:
Tumblr media
The mini-comic and toy designs of Catra (which had a tail) seem to be another influence - specifically Scratchin' Sound Catra:
Tumblr media
Another is Showe Power Catra, especially how she was portrayed in the Princess of Power minicomics:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Outside of Masters of the Universe inspirations, the Puma Sisters/Twins, Anna and Uni, especially as portrayed in the original Dominion manga by Masamune Shirow (adapted latter into the Dominion Tank Police OVAs), seem to be an influence, up to Catra having heterochromia like them:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Anna and Uni are gynoids though)
(Catra's heterochromia probably also signifies her being torn at multiple points in the series, especially season 1, but also her potential for good and evil).
Another possible inspiration, are Thunderians, especially as portrayed in the 2011 ThunderCats reboot:
Tumblr media
A particular inspiration, especially for Catra's season 4 and 5 outfits, might be concept art for 2011 Cheetara's outfit, as noted by @two-sides-of-the-same-smexy-coin . Specifically the first two from the left:
Tumblr media
This is also not the only connection/possible reference SPOP has to ThunderCats, specifically the 2011 cartoon.

Out of curiosity I looked up 80s Netossa
Netossa is significant for being the only black doll in the original SPOP. She had a grand total of four episodes (which sucks bc I feel like out of the characters her design is one of the best). I believe she also had no powers in the original solely relying on manmade nets vs. Generating energy ones in the 2018 version.
As far as I know, there has been two versions of Netossa made. One released in 2013 figure (sadly with no brushable hair) and ofc the original figure from the 80s
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While the 2013 suit is more accurate to the cartoon design, there's just something charming about her 80s figure. Plus those nets look more accurate to the cartoon than the 2013 version. Either way, she truly lives up to her name as a captivating beauty!
Interestingly there's a backstory for her on the 2013 figure's packaging.
Tumblr media
She was also supposed to have a doll in 2016 here's the prototype
Tumblr media
What could have been... A perfect blend of 2013 and 80s.

Imp
Footnote to “80s Hordak is old and strange”:
It’s pretty baffling that they gave Hordak a Kid Appeal sidekick, Imp, who uses magic to transform into both inanimate objects and animals (and an apple...), has blue skin and Hordak-like ears without ever saying “they’re related.”
Tumblr media
Instead, let’s say “this thing is Hordak’s brother.”
Tumblr media
I can just imagine the headaches the reboot writers’ room gave themselves before settling on “Horde Prime will just look like Hordak because he’s a clone, so we can make Imp a baby clone.”

More than Meets the Eye
She-Ra fanfic  Comedy Rated PG (mild rude humor and “bad” words). Adora, Bow, Entrapta, Hordak (and mentions of other characters) Inspired by conversation on Sweary She-Ra.  4th wall-breaking by Entrapta, but not a Sweary-specific fic.   Summary: An alternate universe from the end of the Beast island arc.  Hordak joins the Rebellion against Horde Prime and shows everyone a hidden talent of his.   For @lemaistrechat (No, you don’t have to send me cookies. My Mom’s Christmas cookies got squished in the mail.  Yours will, too).   _____________________ More Than Meets the Eye Adora had no shortage of surprises in her life for the last several months.  First, as the war had progressed, Glimmer had become more and more ruthless.  She was taking dark turns that made Adora wonder if she was even the friend she used to know anymore.  Shadow Weaver was living in Bright Moon. Flutterina had turned out to be an enemy-spy – and a shapeshifter whose true form looked nothing like Flutterina.  To top it all off, Horde Force Captain Scorpia had defected and had come to the Princess Alliance for aid, claiming that Entrapta had been sent to Beast Island by an overwhelmed Catra.   That was how Adora, Bow and Swift Wind had found themselves traveling to Beast Island just over a month ago.  To tell the truth, this was another surprise for Adora:  There were rumors told among the cadets around the Horde that Beast Island didn’t actually exist and that it was a euphemism for summary execution.  One of the older cadets she’d known was certain that Hordak just had liars, traitors and various screw-ups shot and their bodies cremated in the skiff-cleansing ports.  Well, the fabled place of exile actually did exist, and, as per Shadow Weaver’s warning, was far worse than the usual scary stories about it.   And then they’d found a king.  While hunting for Entrapta (hopefully not dead), they’d found Micah, the once King of Bright Moon, thought long-dead!  And he was a badass sorcerer!  (And more than a bit of a goofball).   And then…there was Hordak.   They’d come across him wrapped up in the despair-inducing vines that grew throughout the island that had been trying to consume them all.  He was calling out for Entrapta, crying over his failure to save her and ranting, tearing and screaming at the vines (he still had some fight in him) and he was yelling something about “Prime’s self-lubricating asshole!” as a general curse. Bow asked Adora if She-Ra could bleach his brain.  She told him that she didn’t think the powers worked that way because they were not working for her that way. Adora, in She-Ra form, took pity on him and freed him from the vines.  Entrapta showed up when she had him at sword-point under threat not to make any funny moves.   The rescue went better than expected, although it took Entrapta wrapping the warlord up in a hair-cocoon to keep the signal and the vines from getting at him again.  Adora had never seen a man so depressed!  He kept going on and on to Entrapta about his unworthiness of her, for “believing that treacherous Force Captain!” and getting her into a deadly situation.  Entrapta handled it with her usual aplomb, claiming that Beast Island was a “PARADISE of forgotten technological horrors!”  And Adora couldn’t believe it…she saw a smile on his skull-like face!   He’d found out that Entrapta was here, apparently, when he’d caught a strange, disconcerting recording from his Imp and did a check over some surveillance-footage caught by the Fright Zone’s cameras that someone had apparently attempted to erase.  Though the white noise and screen-snow, he had been able to make out a familiar feline figure and familiar twin-tails of hair.  He had put his spy-child in charge of trusted soldiers and had taken his speediest skiff straight to the island.  He had not even bothered to deal with Catra, leaving her to her own devices. They say that war makes strange bedfellows. No less than three members of the Horde had joined with the Rebellion recently: Scorpia, Entrapta and… most surprising of all, Lord Hordak!   Entrapta read ahead in the canon’s script and let Hordak know what was in store for him should he reunite with Horde Prime. He had to face full-on that his indoctrination and memories were faulty.  He could rejoin his master god-brother or stay with his mad scientist girlfriend, not that him even being on Beast Island to rescue Entrapta hadn’t already made the story an alternate universe fanfiction, anyway, but that’s neither here nor there.   Entrapta had an ass that wouldn’t quit, so his choice was clear.   And this was how Hordak decided to join with the Etherian Rebellion against Horde Prime!  And this brings us to the present after this long ramble.   “It’s been glossed over,” Entrapta says to you, starting at your soul through the text on your screen, “but give the fanfic author a break!  It’s Christmas Week and she celebrates! Although if I’m telling the truth, she’s also pretty lazy.”   “I heard that.”   “Of course you did!  You’re typing it!”   “So, anyway,” Entrapta chimes, “Hordak was really sad and conflicted by all of this, but I kissed him better, so you don’t have to worry about him.”   “Who ARE you talking to?” Adora asks.   In the weeks that followed the Beast Island rescue, Hordak became invaluable to the cause.  He knew how Horde Prime operated.  He educated the Rebellion on the nature of Horde-clones.  He was watched carefully, but he proved himself to be fully on-cause for the freeing of Etheria.   “That’s because he didn’t want to be lobotomized!” Entrapta throws your way.  “I mean… I had to show him the script, but I got through to him!  Also, he didn’t want to see me dragged around by my hair, or be ordered to shoot me, so we totally decided to make this story an AU!”   “AU?” Bow asks, “Entrapta, are you talking about gold or something?  On the periodic table of elements?”   “Nope!  I’m talking to the readers!  AU stands for Alternate Universe! It’s what happens when something goes different in a timeline and the world is fundamentally changed, even if there are other versions of you in it!  Like Rick and Morty!” “Huh?”     “Shouldn’t we be concentrating on getting Mara’s ship worthy to go into space?”  Adora asks.  She is exhausted with bags under her eyes.  She has been trying to protect everyone from robots and clones and has been running herself ragged without her She-Ra powers. She’d only now gotten back safely inside the magic-barrier of the Bright Moon war-camp.   “Yeeeah… she still lost the She-Ra powers,” Entrapta helpfully explains to you, the reader.  “The Heart of Etheria activated, popping us straight out of Despondos! There are stars in the sky now!  It’s WONDERFUL! Well, except for all the war and invasion and constant danger of death!  But that’s what makes it so exciting!  The clone-ships arrived and it’s been a real mess!  Glimmer got taken up in a tractor-beam.  Hordak explained what it was when we saw it.  It’s been a WILD time!  And Adora broke her sword because she didn’t want to be forced to activate the weapon, which is kind of disappointing actually, because the explosions would have been EPIC!  We could have gotten so much data!” “Entrapta!”   “Okay, Bow, okay!  I think the readers understand what I’m getting at!”   “How are you coming along?” Adora asks her and Bow.  She takes a look at Hordak, seated in a chair under the tent where Entrapta and Bow are working with the blueprints to Mara’s ship and miscellaneous computer-parts. “Any luck, any of you?”   “Well, we’ve gotta patch up the outer layer of the ship super-super tight because one hull-breach and everyone’s dead! Suffocated in the vacuum of space!  There are so many FAAAASCINATING ways to die in space!”   “With the exception of myself,” Hordak rumbles. “My people can survive short jaunts into the void.”   “Yeah!” Entrapta pipes up, “With his unique cyborg-physiology, he can TOTALLY get spaced and come out alive!”   “All the same, I would rather not test it. Open space is… unpleasant.”   “He’s already tracked down Horde Prime’s main signal!” Entrapta exclaims, beaming with pride.   “What? Really?”  Adora asks, taken aback.   “I am… as I was… cut off from the hive mind,” Hordak explains, “but I can still overhear some of the mind-whispers of my brothers on a low-level when they are near.”   “We also went near to one of the spires while Bow made you take a nap yesterday!” Entrapta tells her.  “I know, I know” she says with a wave of a tail of hair made into a hand, “It was super-dangerous.  He almost got captured!  And it gave him a massive headache, but he could feel the coordinates!” Hordak retrieved something from a bag in the shadows by his chair.  He held up a slim data pad with… a smile?  Hordak had the goofiest smile on his face that Adora had ever seen.  In fact, seeing him so much as crack a simple grin filled her with a terror born of the uncanny valley.   “So, are we ready to go save Glimmer, then?” Adora asks hopefully.   “Not unless you want to get sucked into the crushing void of space!” Entrapta chimes, pointing a hair-finger in the air.  “The ship – I named her Darla, by the way – she took a lot of damage rusting away in the desert for all those years! Centuries!  Oh, and the escape from Beast Island wasn’t too kind to her, either!  We’ve been working day and night – Bow insists we get rest, I just think we need more espresso (it comes in tiny mugs)!... I estimate we’ll get Darla spaceworthy in, oh…about five years?” “And we don’t have that long,” Bow says with a worried look at the sky.   “There’s got to be a way!” Adora nearly wails. “Please!” Hordak stands up from his chair and walks out of the shadows.  “I believe I have a solution,” he says. “What? What?” Adora demands, “We modify some of the Fright Zone stuff?  If anyone would know how to make a skiff space-worthy, it would be you, I suppose… I mean, you built the Fright Zone from a crashed ship, right?”   Hordak calmly holds up a hand.  “Cease at once!” he barks.   Adora straightens, her soldier’s programming kicking in.   “I have a solution that is far more simple, albeit, unusual.  Please step back from me.”   Dumbfounded, Adora and Bow step away. Entrapta has a knowing, all-too excited grin on her face.   Hordak suddenly goes straight and stiff. He holds his head down and pins his ears back.  He balls his fists at his sides.   “Is he… trying to fight constipation?” Bow asks.   Suddenly, sparks of electricity flow over his form.  His armor shifts and it seems… like his very skin splits and turns to re-arrange itself in strange plates!  The mass starts growing, as if Hordak’s interior was larger than his exterior would have a viewer believe. In less than a minute, where Hordak was standing – there is a large rocket.   “Huh? What?!”  Adora and Bow exclaim as one. People all around the Bright Moon camp gasp and gawk.  Entrapta’s eyes sparkle as one who has just witnessed the revealing of a very special secret that she had been waiting a long time to share.  She has the biggest shit-eating grin on her face.   King Micah screams.  Shadow Weaver huffs and inspects her fingernails.  Frosta can be heard saying “Aaaaw, BADASS!”  Someone tells her that kids her age should not use the word “Ass.”   Adora stares up and up and up.   The rocket… has Hordak’s face on it.   “Ha-ha!” Entrapta laughs.  She looks up at the Hordak-rocket.  “You said you didn’t think you could do it anymore, but I knew you could!”   “It has been… a long time,” the Hordak-face says stiffly.   “His face…is moving…” Bow says with a shiver. He hugs the nearest person to him for support.  Thankfully, he latches onto Scorpia, who is a great hugger and also needs the moral support. “I swear I had no idea he could do that!” Scorpia proclaims.   “Maybe you should explain, Hordak!” Entrapta encourages.   “Very well.” He answers, his mouth and his brows moving in an organic fashion that was most disconcerting to see upon something resembling a nuclear-payload-capable intercontinental ballistic missile.   Where had his arms and legs gone?  It appeared that they had turned completely into fins.  Bow looks down at the end of the rocket pointed toward the ground with a growing wariness.  Was that his...?  Wait? Was it? He supposed it made sense that his posterior would become…that.   What did a Hordak-rocket require for fuel? Spicy food?   “I…am a cyborg,” Hordak intones.  “All of Horde Prime’s clones are, as well as Horde Prime himself.  We have organic parts and technological parts.”   “Wait,” Adora says, scratching her head, “Can they ALL do this?” “No,” Hordak answers.  “I modified myself further to compensate for my failing health and to suit the environment of Etheria better, as well as… let us say I tried some schemes in warfare in the past that failed and was left stuck with the results. I rarely use my cybernetic shape-shifting abilities as they can be quite…painful.”   Entrapta wraps her arms part-way around the cylinder that is now the bulk of Hordak’s body.  She wraps her hair around it, too.  “Aw…”   “I will…deploy an opening and…no more than three of you… can climb inside of me and we can storm the flagship to rescue your queen.”   “Inside…you?” Bow asks.   Adora makes a face.   Everyone in the camp (except for Entrapta, who is beaming) cringes.   “Ew…” Scorpia says flatly.   “Eh…can we take a raincheck on that?” Adora inquires.  “I mean, I’m sure with some extra TLC we can get the other ship working?”   “As you wish,” Hordak says.  He squints that strange rocket-decal like face until his body shifts in reversal of what it had done before.  Once he is in humanoid form again, he sways and Entrapta catches him.   “It’s the thought that counts,” she assures him, patting him on the back with her hair.   Everyone in the Bright Moon camp cannot stop staring.   “What the fuck just happened?!” someone shouts. Adora cannot help but think she dodged a bullet.   The last thing she wanted to think about was “being inside Hordak.”   THE END.
