Cringetober Day 12: Niche Interest
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two of my favorite things: Ancient Egyptian mythology & sentai motifs. They have their flaws but I love them anyways.
I also made a self insett for Mummies Alive: the Pyramid's caretaker Chesney, who wields the amulet of Princess Aida. Her patron is Hathor and I ship her with Rath.

And to complement her I made a self insert for Egyxos too! A human woman who inherits Isis's power and eventually becomes Kefer's queen.

Propaganda under the cut
Nefertina X Apep - Mummies Alive
These two are so tragical and I wish they will end up together. Nefertina is a mummy who needs to protect the reincarnation of the prince Rapses, and Apep is literally the serpent god of evil who wants to kill him for a revenge against his family. They had a love at first sight, him not caring at all that she is undead and they have similar tastes and a great romantic and flirtatious relationship, but she is good and loves the child shr protects while he is evil and literally tries to kill him. And even when he straight up renounces his revenge for her (WHICH MEANS A LOT FOR A LITERAL EVIL GOD) they can't be together not only because her job is fulltime and because he only respects her and doesn't hesitate to endanger people just for reaching his goal which horrifies and angers her. But if Apep himself could already give up on a godlike revenge for Nefertina, I hope everyday they would end up working things out one day
Scarab X Heka (Hekarab) - Mummies Alive
Ok Scarab may technically not be a monster but a very old human, to the point he looks very dry and literally white, plus he does take a big scarab form at some point. And Heka is literally is staff who is sentient for some unspecific reason, this is like shipping Jafar with his snake staff. But GOODNESS do they scream old married couple, bickering, sassing each other, him not hesitating to betray anyone but her, she being very loyal despite her sarcasm, caring and being concerned for each other, him including her in his master plan, and being so casual like she just asking him to get milk on the way while he goes for a rampage... heck they even share a kiss!

Okay I’m back on my Mummies nonsense and I’m thinking about the untapped potential of Amanda Carnovan and wanting to bite something.
Like, I get that this is a late 90s Y7 show so of course the normal adults aren’t necessarily going to be involved very much given who the target audience is but we could have had SUCH FUN DYNAMICS between Amanda—technically mother of the pharaoh and also a certified Egypt nerd—and the Mummies. The Mummies, who would be an ancient civilization researcher’s WET DREAM because they’d be the ULTIMATE primary sources to their era of ancient Egyptian history. I may be projecting a bit, but having people who LIVED IN a civilization three thousand years ago AND who would be able to verbally talk about their experiences (biases and all) would be so cool.
Plus, I think Amanda and the Mummies would have gotten along so well. Like, they canonically respect her despite never really interacting with her purely on account of what Presley says about her.
I can see Amanda talking parenting and leadership with Ja-Kal and them confiding their doubts and hardships to each other that they wouldn’t talk about with anyone else. Like, for example, Amanda is a single mother working a full time job, and Ja-Kal struggled with balancing his responsibilities as the prince's guard with his duties as a father and husband. I think both of them would have a lot to talk about regarding work-life balance. Plus, Ja-Kal in the show was edging very close to "dad who stepped up" territory. I'm not saying that Ja-Kal and Amanda would get a romantic subplot (Amanda doesn't seem to be interested in looking for a boyfriend and Ja-Kal isn't either) but I feel like they'd become platonic co-parents in the right circumstances.
I can see Amanda just absorbing every historical and arcane lesson Rath gives and chiming in with her own knowledge. They’d butt heads and argue over specific facts for hours, both being entirely too stubborn at times to give the other an inch, but at the end of it all they’d do it again because they’re both nerds and love the pain of their research.
I can see Amanda and Nefer-Tina becoming gal pals, maybe at first being friends solely because they’re the only women in the group but ultimately enjoying each other’s company; Amanda affirming that Nefer-Tina isn’t wrong for being fascinated by modern advances while Nefer-Tina gets Amanda to break out of her shell a bit by dragging her along to experience the modern world with her (I can see circumstances conspiring to get them stealing a car together and I think I’m right about it).
I can see Amanda and Armon bonding over cooking and exchanging recipes from their respective cultures, even if they may have to substitute a few key ingredients for Armon’s recipes (I doubt Amanda would be able to get her hands on hippo steak, sadly).
Plus! I also want to see Amanda’s reaction to hearing that 1) her baby boy is the reincarnation of a murdered Egyptian prince from three thousand years ago (and one she made a full exhibit about and probably rambled to Presley about for months), and 2) the man who killed him the first time is still around in present day trying to not only do that AGAIN, but use her son’s soul to attain immortality for generally nefarious purposes.
What I’m saying is I wish we could have seen Amanda’s reaction to the Mummy Nonsense because she would have been a WELL of interesting character interactions and also likely caused Scarab headaches personally by beating him up for trying to repeatedly murder her son.
And don’t even get me STARTED on Walter! He was presented to the audience as Presley’s best friend but we hardly see him at all! We could have had Walter as the best friend sidekick! The non-chosen character stuck in the chosen’s orbit! He could have been a Toby Domzalsky or a Connie Maheswaran before those characters even EXISTED! We could have had Walter struggling with pressure from the Mummies to be as dogged and dedicated in his defense of Presley as they are because they see Walter as Presley’s last line of defense, someone who can protect Presley where they can't. After all, the Mummies can’t follow Presley into school and have to be careful about going out in public on account of their whole undead situation. It could be really interesting to see Walter get continuously pressured by these adults who literally died in the line of duty to follow in their footsteps, even if it meant meeting the same fate as them. It would have been interesting to see the Mummies be struck with the realization that they made themselves forget that Walter is a kid too and someone very dear to Presley, and that they were wrong to try and pressure him into becoming a warrior like them. It would have been interesting to see them try to atone for the way they treated Walter as another soldier for their cause. It would have been interesting to see how Walter buckled under the pressure the Mummies heaped on him and even more so if Scarab tried to exploit it because in his darkest moment, Walter would have just wanted all of this Mummy Nonsense to STOP and for everything to go back to how it was before (even though that’s impossible) and almost costing Presley his life because of it.
And Elaine! How cool would it have been if she didn’t have her memories conveniently wiped and she just elbowed her way into the Mummies’ and Presley’s crazy world of gods and monsters out of rabid interest in getting the truth, even if she has to learn a lesson about how not all truths are created equal and sometimes lies and secrets are made and kept to protect the innocent! We could have had an episode where Elaine gathered proof of the Mummies and Presley’s involvement with them and was SECONDS away from publishing before she’s confronted with the reality that Presley keeps his involvement with the Mummies under wraps (ba dum tss) because the anonymity surrounding his modern identity is the only thing keeping an immortality obsessed madman from turning up on his doorstep or in his class to LITERALLY KILL HIM AND EAT HIS SOUL. We could have had her be the reason Scarab learns Presley’s modern identity and her having to atone for putting him in MORE danger.
Ugh. There's just so much wasted potential and it makes me sad.

Being the team’s token girl member, Nefertina got the most costume changes, personally I think she looks cute in hats. She was so much fun! She liked to race cars (chariots back in ancient Egypt) and fight but also to wear gowns and sing. She was a gal who could do it all.
She had to pretend to be a male in ancient Egypt because only men were allowed to drive Chariots and serve as warriors. She shortened her name to Nefer and bound her chest to achieve this.
Her armor was cat based and her patron goddess was Bast. In fact she had a problem with Bast in one episode, and her weapon was a whip and her claws ala Catwoman lol.
I love her relationship with Rath, they had opposite personalities and acted like siblings but when push came to shove they were always there for each other♥️🐈‍⬛🐍

(Will post more in the reblog. Damn you pics number restriction)
Props on Mummies Alive not to fall in the trap of making everyone in Ancient Egypt white for weird reason like peplums and the shows back then nor Netflix's modern trap of making everyone black, but make everyone varied since Egypt was a trading empire in the middle of 3 continent and so cosmopolitan with a mixed population
Armon and his mom are black, I would say they could be of Nubian origins since Egypt and Nubia were very close in terms of society and religion and there had been a Nubian dinasty of pharaohs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chantra looks mixed black to me. When her hair is covered her face reminds me of Nefertiti and the generally thinner face traits of Ethiopians, but her hair is straight and her skin which is not as dark as Armon's and his mom's suddenly becomes more apparent while with the nemes on she for some reasons looks darker to me lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rath looks what anthropologists call Semitic, and how generalizing people may wrongly call Arab. He is dark skinned, has light eyes (they are green) and his nose is straight and lips quite plump
Tumblr media
Scarab has similar facial traits as Rath's but is lighter, because not all people of Maghreb and Middle East are dark
Tumblr media
Nefertina looks neither too light nor too dark, her skin tone is technically light but it seems to fall into a very light brown shade if you look well. Hair black, eyes grey, nose straight but thicker than Rath's. She could look like a modern Egyptian woman
Tumblr media
The royal family is very much mixed. Rapses looks like Presley, who looks like a mixed white boy with brown hair and greeb eyes with a tan, but his mother looks darker with darker eyes and more "local looks" (she seems to be like Rath and Scarab) and his father looks like he is mixed black kind of looking like a lighter version of Ramses from the Prince of Egypt. And that servant looks like she is mixed of a bit everything too
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the former Captain looks ambiguous too, he could be Berber or Semitic or mixed both, he is old and wrinkled/flabby so it is harder but he def looks Mediterranean

Whatever continuity these 2 are essentially Gomez and Morticia just a slightly more realistic way since they can be jealous and fight. They adore each other, respect each other, are hot together, the Captain is protective of his wife and her son he sees as his treating her better than men she knew before him, they had a love at first sight and since then have co-led the haunted house together like a power couple. A vampire and a skeleton-like ghost who are both fuckable in-universe, jackpot.
