Queen Angella reimagined

A WIP for now, I have to finish some important Uni assigments and idk how long will be until I finish this XD

For some time now I’ve been imagining an AU based on both Spop and classic MOTU, trying to figure out where each character fit the narrative. Entrapta and Hordak are my favorite so far, but Angella fills a place there as well.

She is basically immortal, somehow managed to be the only Queen on Etheria and leader of the Alliance, she has to be God knows how old. Married a powerful sorcerer who is the head of Mystacor, and opposes the Horde with all her might.

My head went back over and over again to the character of Jessica Atreides (Dune 2020) while drawing her and wonder how her personality would influence others. In my head, she isn’t the sweet and merciful Queen everyone seen to be fond of.

Catradora fan here but I wanted to ask if you think it would've ever been possible for catradora to be done well by the show? It's obviously not a perfect ship but I wanted to know if you thought it had any potential at any point as a viable ship or not? /genq

first off, props to you for being respectful and open to different opinions! it's the bare minimum but not a lot of c//a shippers do that, so i really appreciate it.

secondly, yes. i think the ship did have some potential and there were definitely ways to make it less toxic (and not incestuous) so let me just go through a few things i would change if i were to rewrite this ship:

1. catra and adora would not be raised by the same parent or portrayed with a sibling dynamic. instead they're just close friends, and shadow weaver would be either catra's or adora's adoptive parent. i personally think it would be interesting if shadow weaver was catra's adoptive mother, and hordak was adora's father figure.

going on a tangent here, there's a bunch of reasons why this would be a good choice. one, apparently in the 80s she-ra, hordak was like a father figure to adora, since he's the one who found her and brought her to the horde. the latter is also the case in the reboot so they really could have given us an interesting father-daughter dynamic with these characters.

two, it would create an actual connection between hordak and adora. in the show, we barely see them interact at all, despite them being enemies. it was always adora vs catra, and not adora vs the horde (and hordak). hordak doesn't even have to be abusive or toxic towards adora, in fact, it would help a lot with his redemption if he was actually a decent parent. teaching adora wrong morals, of course, but ultimately caring about her. it would also increase the emotional impact when adora leaves the horde, because she would be cutting ties with a person who genuinely loved her, despite being an evil warlord.

2. catra would show some restraint when fighting adora. the thing that most stuck out to me in spop was how remorseless catra was when fighting adora. it's not even that she's fighting to win or because she had to, she just liked seeing adora in pain. there's no coming back from that.

so i would write catra to be a little more compassionate and not hurt adora more than necessary. i would also add in parts where she's shown to care about adora, despite being on opposite sides. catra wouldn't brainwash adora and revel in seeing her go beserk, or try to gaslight her into staying, and for most part, she would try to avoid a fight with adora.

this would help the story stay true to the “i always loved you” dialogue, because it shows that catra cares about adora deeply, instead of telling us. what spop did was show us catra hurting adora over and over again with zero guilt or remorse, and then have other characters talk about how much catra loves adora or how perfect their chemistry is. not convincing in the slightest.

3. catra's redemption is more detailed and starts earlier, preferably in s4, after the portal incident and angella's death. this goes without saying because her redemption was the worst part of c//a. instead of having her do one good thing and slapping the good guy label onto her, i would show her actually facing consequences of her actions and trying to do better.

the characters wouldn't just gloss over catra's actions but would instead hold her accountable. and she would actually work on her toxicity instead of just saying “sorry i got angry, i'm working on it” and then proceeding to not work on it. i would only get them together after catra is at least 90% redeemed and in a healthier mindset to be in a relationship.

4. adora's arc would get more focus and a satisfying conclusion. in s5, adora's search for her origin and identity is abandoned in favor of c//a. this is so disappointing and just shows that the writers could not give two fucks about adora, the main character. so yeah, while c//a would still get its moments, i would not sacrifice adora's development or arc for it.

5. c//a would not be the “heart and soul” of the show. one of the many things i hated about s5 was how everything revolved around c//a.

glimmer and bow were reduced to the wingmen and paired spares, none of the other characters mattered, angella was completely forgotten, hordak didn't get enough screentime, and horde prime was a weak and badly written villain. all of this was because the creators focused too much on c//a (and even then, failed to make it romantic or appealing). so yeah, while i would still write c//a as a canon ship, i wouldn't sacrifice everything else just for this ship.

thank you for your ask, this is something i've wanted to talk about for a while now!

It is confusing that out of those 13 princesses, we know the majority of them (Angella/Glimmer sharing the same Runestone, Spinnerella, Perfuma, Mermista, Netossa, Scorpia, Frosta) and the others are unknown like, Minotaur Princess ?? That would have been so cool in terms of design and all 😭

It would have been really cool. I wonder if at some point they did intent to have more princesses but just decided against it at the last second because in Princess Prom Glimmer says something along the lines on "if we get Frosta the other princesses will follow." even though after Frosta joins no one else does. Maybe they were going to make some new characters at some point but in the end wanted to stick close to the characters of the 80s show.

does Etheria have politics?

(going back and reading this, I realize how much of my writing is just stream of consciousness.)

OKAY SO

I feel like by now everyone here knows that I spend way too much time thinking about unnecessary details when I should really be writing, but what else can I do to procrastinate other than spend time building the story.

ANYWAYS

This is going to be the more unhinged version of that previous post, since when I wrote it, I was feeling very academic after doing some anthropology in government homework, but now I'm just trying to pull things from memory.

ALSO

Google has been extremely helpful in helping me clarify a lot of things, so some of the theories will be pulled from the wiki of the original 80's show, the reboot, and some of my own thoughts.

I know there's a post of the whole galactic hierarchy, but for the purposes of this post, I will be focusing on the politics of Etheria itself. I might also make a separate post about spiritual beliefs, but I make no promises.

So for history, not much is known (at least to me) about Angella's predecessors or how they came to be in power of Bright Moon, but as with everything that can't be explained, I'd like to chalk it up to magic and the connection to the Moonstone. Also, because Micah isn't a direct descendant of that line, I would see him as more of a Consort instead of acting monarch. I would believe he's a close political and strategical advisor, as we saw how much of a prevalent role he had in the beginning of the war, but that's about it. Although after the war, I believe he goes back to doing King things to give Glimmer some respite from having a whole kingdom on her shoulders.

Also, I know it's not cannon, but there is hot gossip in Etheria, and I'd like to believe that there's news reports for each village, and a worldwide newspaper. Is it called The Daily Etherian? Perhaps.

Down to the nitty gritty:

So I've kinda created a flow chart in my head about the people in power in Etheria. First, there's the planet as a whole, obviously, and unlike Earth, the separated countries, in my opinion work together. To relate it to something I know, I choose to think about the EU. I would also believe that Etheria kind of works in the way that the US does, but the EU is more international, so that's why I'm using that. Also, I wouldn't think that villages had presidents, I think the highest you should be able to go is Mayor or like Elder.

So basically there's kingdoms, regions, sects, and factions that all work together in the political system, with the only region known of is the Crimson Waste, which contains a faction of people who are outlaws/ex-horde/or chose to leave their kingdoms. For kingdoms, there are the standard Bright Moon, Plumeria, Salineas, Dryl, Mystacor, Kingdom of Snows, and the Scorpioni. But there are also some that aren't mentioned that hold Royalty such as the Star Siblings, Prince Peekablue, and Sweet Bee. Those kingdoms won't be considered too much in this analysis, but they are factored into the greater whole.

Side note: where does She-Ra live? Does she not get a kingdom? Where would she go if Adora didn't stay in Bright Moon? Is that all she's going to get, a spare room in Bright Moon? Is the Crystal Castle just a place for training and information or can it be used as an actual castle?

Also, is Madame Razz a part of a village or does she just live in the woods like Bow's parents? Are there a lot more like them, or is it just them? IDK

That then got me to thinking about the every day grievances that the townspeople may have. While it isn't mentioned, it is known that there are villages fairly close in relation to the kingdoms, so I'd like to believe that these villages are governed by the kingdoms they are closest to. We also know that there are Mayors and Elders, and most likely Shamans, and Spiritual Advisors in existence in Etheria, so I'd like to imagine they all work similarly for simplifying purposes.

Also, I'd like to say that each Princess may choose how involved they are with the surrounding kingdom. For example, Perfuma is very involved in her community, but the other Princesses remain in their respective Castles and don't interact with the people in the villages.

So for example, if a townsperson had a grievance, they probably wouldn't immediately go to Queen Angella for it to be solved. They'd most likely go to the Mayor of their village, then to the acting Princess/Prince/Queen/King of the surrounding Kingdom, then to Queen Angella. And that would be a totally different thing for the town in Bright Moon, they'd probably go directly to Queen Angella, or the towns representative.

ALSO

If for no other reason than transportation purposes, I'd like to believe Etheria is smaller than your average planet. Maybe during the war, everyone stays in Bright Moon in their rooms, maybe they all travel extremely quickly. But how in the heck does it take them so quickly to get from place to place to village to village. Is it a short walk? Am I too reliant on Glimmer's teleportation devices? The world may never know.

Okay now for the laws. I'd assume there's a basic law that governs Etheria, kind of like the constitution, but then it'd also be broken up into different laws that are associated with different kingdoms/villages. For example, why would a landlocked village have a fishing ordinance? That would most likely work best in Salineas.

We also know that the biggest form of commerce in Etheria is trade. Plumeria probably provides textiles and crops, Salineas would be boats/the seafood market, etc. I believe that's how every kingdom keeps their pockets full. There might be different regulations in every kingdom about the different kinds of trade they have there. I know there is a monetary unit, and it's most likely coins, but I have no idea what each coin would equal and how valuable it is, given that most Etherians live humbly.

NOW ONTO THE HORDE

We know, according to like earth's standards, what the Horde is doing in the show is terrible. Like actually horrible. I'd generally just use the Geneva Convention's standards, because that is pretty much what a lot of us would go by. There is a wiki page on the different war crimes that the Horde, Glimmer and Horde Prime all had during the show, so that was pretty cool to look at. I'm just genuinely interested on how it wasn't stopped quicker and how it escalated to be such a big problem. But that's a post for an entirely different day.

How does Etheria have a trial?

So, similarly to the grievances scenario I had thought of, I'd assume that's how the court system would work as well. Also, what would the punishments be? Does Bright Moon even have a prison? Are there even police? How are civil disputes settled? Do people get divorced? Do people abuse? I'd assume they're capable of it, if what we saw from the Horde was anything to go by. Then again, that could have just been the influence of Hordak.

ANYWAYS

For little cases, I'm pretty sure that they can be settled among the village, but for big disasters such as what happened in Plumeria, they'd probably need the help from other Kingdoms or even just Queen Angella herself.

Big trials take place in Bright Moon, kind of like Supreme Court ones. Shadow Weaver’s will be a bit different though. For hers, it's not going to be much of a spoiler, but it's the explanation that I didn't know how to fit into the fic without making it sound like I'm forcing it in there. It's supposed to be common knowledge for everyone there, so they wouldn't think to explain it to an outside audience.

Especially for this, since it was directly associated with the Alliance, think of the Princess Alliance as a jury, but instead of jurors, they're treating it more as an election with representative democracy, with each Princess being the representative. Because Shadow Weaver is the last remaining head of the Horde besides Adora, who had no willing part in the Battle of the Whispering Woods, she will get a full tribunal.

That means there will be an audience, no "lawyers" or whatever the Etherian equivalent would be, and all of the Princesses will be there to give their input since her destruction affects their kingdoms, even though they aren't a part of the Princess Alliance. This is basically just a "we know you committed x, y, and z crimes, we're going to make you aware of them and decide what to do with you."

I was genuinely thinking about having the Horde become a prison, but I just don't think anyone would go for that. Having a condensed population of criminals in a place that just so happens to house the leading faction of people the rebellion we’re fighting against doesn’t sit right. Maybe each kingdom should have their own version of a jail. Would they need a jail? How many bad guys are there?

Kazari Primer

Kazari the Magicat of Havok is a fan project focused on creating a new She-Ra sequel series. This is not an official release and we are in no way affiliated with Netflix, Dreamworks of ND Stevenson.

SYNOPSIS

Many years have passed since the defeat of Horde Prime. Everyone has settled down and started families. All seems well until Micah takes in the familiar student who shakes up Etheria as old ghosts return from the past.

Characters

The New Best Friend Squad

Kazari/They-Kho(She/They) (19)

Kazari is a transfer student from Planet Xiseaus, under Micah’s tutelage. Kazari is constantly at odds with Catra and especially Adora. She is a bit of an asshole and has a habit of getting herself and others into trouble. Still, for all this, Kazari is a genuinely good soul with everyone’s best interests at heart.

Finn (They/Them) (18)

Finn is the son the Catra and Adora.(My version of Finn is more masc. presenting, so they wore something like a red neck bandana and a white seth rollins-style vest and black trousers) They had a deal with a lot of bullshit, chiefly Adora’s manic-depressive episodes and PTSD fueled freak outs, as well as clinginess and overbearingness. Still, Finn loves both their mothers very much, but while they try to stay positive, they’ve become quite jaded.

Iyexi (She/Her) (18)

Her name is a pun off the phrase .EXE. Iyexi is the daughter of Hordak and Entrapta. Pretty much an strange goth girl with the

Archer (He/Him) (18)

Archer is the son of Glimmer and Bow. Imagine a lightskinned Lil Nas X but with Glimmer’s hair. He wants to live up to his parents legacy, much to their chagrin, as they want Archer to make his own way in life.

New Super Pal Trio

Malia(She/Her)(18)

Daughter of Seahawk and Mermista. A mermaid-pirate princess who wants to decide whether to be a pirate or a princess.

Riley(He/Him)(18)

Son of Spinnerella and Netossa. Bit of a nerd. Voice of reason

Rose(She/Her)(19)

Daughter of Scorpia and Perfuma. Rose somehow grew up to be an emo.

Others

Adora (40s)

Everything was supposed to be fine after the war, but things can’t be that simple. Adora was still a child soldier in a war, and the events of the Horde Prime saga had left her with severe PTSD and Manic Depression. Sometimes she is able to control it, but she has suffered some very public freakouts. Still Adora tries to be a good person and she loves her family very much, has even managed to get a handle on her mental health. She has an antagonistic relationship with Kazari, and things get especially complicated when something happens to Catra.

Catra(She/Her)(40s)

Somehow, someway, Catra was mentally able to recover the most from the war, she had even found it within herself to forgive Shadow Weaver after many years. Along with Bow, Catra seems to have her shit together, until she comes down with leukemia and has to leave Etheria to take care of it.

Queen Glimmer/MoonDust(She/Her)(40s)

The current queen of brightmoon has tried many times to reabjegate to throne back to Angella, but she refused each time. Glimmer has been trying to run to kingdom, and while she’s done reasonably well, the pressures have caused her lingering trauma to manifest as a slightly psychotic alter-ego named MoonDust (Parody of WWEs Stardust character).

King Bow(He/Him)(40s)

He’s doing his best. While a bit more emotional, he and Catra has the dubious honor of being the only ones with their shit together.

Retro Adora(She/Her)

From the 80s cartoon, Retro Adora is a constant visitor of the main dimension. She is known for relentlessly pursuing her world’s Catra and being functionally Finn’s aunt! There is a running gag that when she says “I am She-Ra!” someone always says “WE CAN PERFECTLY SEE THAT!” to which Retro Adora responds with a snide remark

Mara(She/Her)

Thanks to mysterious magic, Mara, as well as the other She-Ras were resurrected. While most of them found refuge on what used to be Beast Island. Mara is content with staying with Razz and being Finn’s godmother. Mara knows something about about Kazari that nobody else does

Hunga the Harpy I drew this a long, long time ago, as in BEFORE SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER WAS MADE! I was a fan of the classic show as a kid and I was re-watching the old show, particularly the episode where Queen Angella goes all badass on some harpies who have her husband, King Micah, who just escaped from Hordeworld kidnapped. The ‘80s Filmation style is a lot simpler than this. I decided to make Hunga - my style. It’s on my Shadsie account on Deviant Art. I forget when I posted it... 2016-2017? Just me watching old, cheesy classic show and drawing an interesting character. I happened to have it in my art records, so here you go.

#she-ra #classic she-ra #hunga #hunga the harpy #80s #80s cartoons #she-ra the princess of power #masters of the universe #motu #there is a blink and you'll miss it part where a version of hunga shows up in spop #in Peekablue's grotto #one of the party scenes #past sea hawk and mermista in a shot if I remember correctly #both the spop style and classic motu style are different from my drawing style #I wanted to do my style with detailed feathers

WiP Wednesday - Guardian Angel

“I’m fine!” She wheezes as she tries to calm down. “I’m fine.” But she’s not, and the air on Etheria is so…

“Etheria’s atmosphere has proven to be a complicating variable in my experiments. I just removed that variable. Tell me, Force Captain, how is your breathing?”

Funny. It’s thin really, at least compared to the heart of the Fright Zone where the humidity and heat make a special sort of hell. But the ship was- the Velvet Gauntlet was- She clasps a hand over her neck, expecting flashes of lives she never lived but nothing happens. She’s not connected to the clones anymore. Catra quietly counts her breaths and lets Angella’s soft rose gold glow provide comfort.

“It’s alright if you’re not.”

But it really isn’t.

#catra #angella #she ra #spop #wip #wip wednesday #fic guardian angel #she's having a great time being home after Prime I promise #tfw you're having basically a panic attack but don't wanna annoy people #I really swore there was a quote in the show about how thick the air on Etheria is but I couldn't find it #anyhow I think a lot about how Hordak must've felt a little like he was drowning planetside before he got used to it #(I live where there's 0% humidity most of the time and when I've been places where there's 80%+...not plesant)#and then I think about how the Velvet Gauntlet air must have felt thin and stale to Glimmer and Catra #I mean considering how Hordak acts like he rarely had an atmosphere like the one on etheria I assume it was ''thin'' compared #idk I just think about it a lot and how uncomfortable it must've been #like athletes who live at sea level come at train in my hometown because of the elevation difference #personal hc is that clones can survive in the vacuum of space longer than a normal humanoid #not LONG mind you #but longer #just long enough to perhaps get a single task done #angst #whoops all aboard the angst train whoo whooooo

You know about your 2018 She Ra meeting the 1985 one, I can imagine the MOTU Netflix having a crossover that centers on Horde Prime of the 85 show messing with the multiverse and it brings in 2018 Catra, 2018 Angella, 2021 Duncan/Man-At-Arms and 2021 Ram Ma’me/Krass as 85 Adam works with them to bring all three home. Also 2018 Catra being taken the moment she was in Horde Prime’s ship and said crossover expands on her redemption.

Thanks for the ask!!

This sounds like such a funny set up! Anyone from the newer shows in the 80/85 show is always hilarious.

Angella would bond with Randor and Marlena but have a few words for the Sorceress. She’d also probably want to know more about Eternia because it’s Adora’s home world.

2021 Duncan would have a giant shock (and so would Krass but for different reasons). In this universe, he’s an adult, Teela is his daughter and he’s a mentor to Adam. Also not everyone uses the power of Grayskull which confuses him.

Krass is both shocked at how different the universes are but also because of Adam. He’s so different in the 80s world but somehow similar. She’d also be shocked to know that that worlds version of her is a guy.

Krass: I sound like a guy. A really buff guy.

Catra, especially pre redemption Catra, is beyond confused. On the one hand, she’s glad to be off Prime’s ship and free from him. On the other, she needs to get back for Adora. When she talks to Adam about Adora, he says that he can take her to her. Catra is reluctant because she isn’t sure how any universe’s Adora would feel about her but she goes to meet 1985!Adora.

It’s an experience.

Catra now has a lot to talk about with those in the 2018 universe.

I love the new She- Ra but i also really love the old one.

When i was a littel kid one channel, had old series and then i watched always She-Ra. I knew She-Ra before i knew He-Man.

The old serie also really had it's moments.

And Micah and Angella where both alive and at same place in the old. I really wished to see them together in the new one. (Most times. It had pretty much episodes, and I don't think I saw all of them)

I got the picture of the old one from Grayskull, Wiki side for the 80' it's really good.
