#Orko my beloved

[turret-dorito]

I saw it in several places so I wanted to do it with my favorite character and love in the whole world, Orko! <3

I made the Orko from Masters of the universe 200x it was drawn by Mike Young Productions :3 (Because is my favorite 0w0)

Although Orko originally belongs to FILMATION, because he was a character created for the first series

Hope you like it hehe

I think I drew Mike Young's style quite well -u-

[upn-the-sky]

Not gonna pretend, I am absolutely in love with Greek saga, but it has a bunch of controversial plot moments which much easier to ignore than try to explain. And despite my love to GOW Ascension especially my mind really straggles to logically tie some things from there with the previous games.

BUT

I just figured out huuuuge plot connection and was like holy shi!1

Yesterday I walked around a Blood tasks, which made Kratos belong to Ares. Orkos said Ares planned Olympus endgame for many years, because, well, he needed to deal with two prophecies: about God of war, who will cause the destruction of Olympus, and about Marked warrior, who will take down the walls of Olympus. Ares needed his warrior because as everyone know, Olympian gods are not able to fight each other directly. This is their law. And after a fail with his own son, he chose Kratos. He kept an eye on him and waited for him for many years. Ares tested him, his power, his spirit and morality long before he showed himself to Kratos. And during making preparations for this moment he allied with Furies to device the perfect sealing for his bonds with Kratos.

So Ares wanted Kratos for himself and conditions for him were:

spill the blood of your enemies

spill the blood of the innocent

spill the blood of your very own

Aren't they cunning? The question is always in wording and interpretation, in other words if you overthought this shit it is your problems.

Conditions insidiously uses the word "Spill" all three times. Not kill. Okay, Kratos oneshoted Alrik with Blades, and new powers+his own pride made everyone his enemies from this moment. But you can spill a 5 litres of blood or cut a heccing finger and spill a couple of blood drops. And it still will work, because there is no words that says that you need to spill a certain amount of blood!

Second point. Blood of the innocent. You see it? THE One Innocent, not innocents, not 1000 of innocents, not anyone who were specifically chosen by Ares himself. Kratos can kill someone literally by accident, dropping a wall on him or her or whoever it can be, or just cut a finger of this absolutely random innocent person. Because there is still no limit of blood spilling. Well, here just like with Alrik Kratos was very okay with killing by order or not, so he killed MANY innocent people because he was able to.

And the third one. Blood of your very own. This condition is such a lowkey trap, I can't. 'Your very own' is what YOU regard as your beloning. It didn't have to be a direct descendant like Calliope, who was his daughter, or a loved one like his wife Lysandra, who was the closest non-relative to Kratos. Well, who else, you ask?

Remember that Ares put an eye on Kratos for a long ago? Already has an idea who was Kratos's very own BEFORE his daughter or wife?

It was Deimos.

Yeah. Who was taken by Ares as if 'by accident'. Everyone thought Ares made a mistake by capturing the wrong boy. Because it is common to think that Ares is dumb. (Well, maybe he is dumb in comparison to Athena, but not by definition). Ares hid Deimos at Thanatos's place (who was his debtor in mythology, Ares saved him once from a trap), althought he could just kill him. But what if I say, that he kept him as a reinsurance. There was always a chance that Kratos won't have family or friends or won't love them as much as it need to comply the last condition or they will accidentaly die before Kratos called for Ares to help him. And if this happens, Ares would just get Kratos's beloved brother from the basement and throw to him for spilling the last blood. From the Deimos's finger. Or shreded guts. Just like that, captivation of Deimos became not only a catalyst of marked warrior prophecy itself and a seal for Kratos's personality, his strong and weak sides. It didn't leave Kratos a chance to somehow avoid the blood spilling. AND STILL. If all of Kratos's relatives failed their role, Kratos was able to comply it with his own blood! What is more your own than your own body?

You see how it works now? All three tasks consider every options of the upcoming events. Kratos can be loyal to him and complete the tasks, simply obeying the orders. He can be absolutely unloyal and do only what he wants as a general, and still accidentaly complete the tasks. He can murder everyone on his path and complete it, or don't murder anyone at all and still complete all three, accidentaly hurting people around him. And what the main point, there is absolutely no need for Ares to have any participation in it. Completing tasks doesn't need his direct orders or will or even presence, only Kratos's actions mattered.

After that what can i say. Maybe Ares wasn't a virtuoso in tactics, but the language of jurispredence is truly his mother tongue.

I know, someone will fight me by saying that Furies did the whole job for this dumbass, but you can consider all this nuances only if you know every inch of the person you want to bond. Ares acknowledged Kratos's nature from the heels to the edges of his nails, every bit of his heart, mind and soul. And what speaks loudly: he absolutely succeeded in all his goals. From making his perfect warrior to killing Zeus by his arms.

What really let Ares down in this masterful plan? Well, when Kratos was in his arms already, Ares couldn't stand and succumbed to impatience. And I even can't blame him ahah, after decades of waiting, bet he was quite pleased with himself and with Kratos. His loyal and favorite warrior finished the final task (sat there, holding his dead wife in his arms). Finally ready for taking Olympus down standing side by side with his master. He should wait juuuuust a bit longer without saying a word, wait until Kratos's first shock will fade. If only Ares stay quite and wait, soon Kratos would come to his master's arms for consolation by himself. And Ares would be able to mold whatever he want from him.

But it would be a different story.

Guess I'm getting hyperfixated on MOTU again. Have some custom Magic cards!

I used Card Conjurer for these. The quality is so much better than Magic Set Editor, but it's going to take a lot of getting used to.

Prince Adam is beloved by all, so he gives a boost to his allies, even if he himself is a little wimpy. I had a hard time figuring out how to give him consistent access to the Sword of Power, and the first draft had him tutoring for it like Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar. Ultimately, it felt right to just put it in the Command Zone. To be honest, I still have no idea what it does.

He-Man shows up to save his friends! Whenever he arrives, his allies tend to relax a little, so they no longer get the +2/+2 boost. They do, however, get a nice shield of protection when he attacks.

As for the color identity, Adam/He-Man is very solidly white, being a caring prince and a protector of others. He's also fairly emotional (R), and is the champion of an ancient magic that flows through Eternia (G). I would have left it at that, but then I realized if I make more cards like this, how would Man-at-Arms fit into a Commander deck, or Orko, both incredibly blue characters? Eventually, I decided that the flavor was easy enough to justify as Adam wanting to improve himself, and He-Man relying on Adam's naturally clever mind to accomplish anything brute force couldn't.

I designed Skeletor first, being one of my favorite characters of all time. He's got an incredibly Wile E. Coyote thing going on, constantly failing, but never giving up. He doesn't get his hands dirty if he can help it, though, and often sends his minions to the front line to fight for him. Whenever they (or he) fail to accomplish a plan, he leaves his underlings to get captured while he escapes. His color identity should be obvious.

I've been thinking about designing two Commander decks, with these two as the primary face cards, and Adora/She-Ra and Hordak as the secondary ones. The themes would be Heroes, equipment/auras, and combat on the good side, and Minions, instants/sorceries, and sacrificing for power on the evil side. I'd also want to represent a variety of MOTU media, if I could find cool artwork and photographs. We'll see.

Adam's and He-Man's art are from the first episode of MOTU Revelations. Skeletor's is from a statue by Iron Studios, though they don't have the item up on their website (you can find the image at online toy stores). Finally, the set symbol was modified from the logo for a cancelled MOTU TTRPG called Legends of Grayskull.

Orko my beloved part 2 the electric boogaloo

[leafytaffy]

orko for the ask game :]

ORKO MY BELOVED 💝

Realistic: okay this one isn’t really Orko specific? Butttt anyways. In the original MOTU canon (80’s Filmation series) and I think the CGI one as well, where Orko was a great wizard on Trolla and not. Hated and shunned. The reason that Dree and him IMMEDIATELY fell in love (other than the fact it was standard hetero writing for the time) is that Dree had a sorta celebrity crush on Orko the Great.

Unrealistic, but hilarious: Trollans are felines pretty much, so Orko gets crazy high/drunk off catnip. Catch him and Dree in his room acting like a couple doing bong rips together except it’s whiffs from a bag of catnip.

Heart-Crushing, but fun: In any other canon that isn’t the Filmation or CGI ones, where Orko was hated and ostracized on Trolla, trans Orko is actually. A BIG part of it. Yeah, the funny wizard faced incredible transphobia </3 it’s part of why he still kept Orko over Oracle, part of why his parents hated him after placing so many expectations on him (fucking SAME, little pal), part of why everyone else on Trolla (save for maybe Dree if she exists) laughed at him… He still has a ton of internalized transphobia towards himself. Thankfully, in a maybe-existent Revelation/etc canon where he and Dree meet, Dree is also trans so. She helps him get though it <3 Also the reason Dree has to raise her little brother on her own is because she got thrown out by her own abusive transphobic parents </3

I will disregard canon: not all of Trolla died off in Revelation, at the VERY least Dree survived <3 I just. I can’t bear to think about Orko COMPLETELY alone and loveless and without consolation </3
