Glimbow Week 2022 Day One: Future and Family

This is my first time doing anything like this, so let’s hope this goes well! @glimbowweek​

This blurb also includes my Glimbow fankids, Glow, Angel, and Stella, and small references to a bigger story I’m working on (read: imagining in my head) about Glow and his other next gen friends.

Also to avoid any confusion, Angel goes by he/they pronouns, and both are used in his section.

Some swearing is used, fyi.

Waking up at six in the morning had not been Glimmer’s idea.

Bow had insisted that the Royal Family of Brightmoon’s annual portrait be done at seven in the morning, so they could get it out of the way and have the rest of the day to do whatever they wanted. 

And, like an idiot, Glimmer had agreed, not fully realizing that she would have to get up at the ass crack of dawn to get their stupid family portrait done.

“Glimmer…Glimmeeeeer–Time to wake up.” Glimmer braved open one eyelid, and saw Bow, infuriatingly already dressed in his finest, gently shaking her shoulder.

“Hrrrg.” She muttered, rolling to face away from him.

Bow laughed softly, crawling onto the bed on his knees and kissing her jawline. “I know, I know. Let’s just get this over with, and you can go back to sleep, okay?”

“M’kay.”

“…”

“That means you have to get up, Glim.”

“Ugh…fiiiiiiiine.” said Glimmer, doing her best Mermista impression. She rolled back over and sat up, rubbing her eye with her fist.

Bow beamed. “Alright. While you wake up, I’ll go get the kids ready.”

At Glimmer’s nod, Bow kissed her cheek and strode determinedly out the door. Glimmer sighed, and looked over to where her sparkly purple dress had been laid out for her, then looked back at her pillows, which still had the indent of her head pressed into them.

“Five more minutes.” She thought to herself, burying her head into her pillows once more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bow walked through the halls of Castle Brightmoon, already regretting making their portrait appointment so early. Despite his outward awakeness, he felt like he could fall back asleep at any moment.

Shaking himself awake as he arrived at his daughter’s door, he knocked, not expecting the cheery voice telling him to “Come in!”

He opened the door, and saw Stella at her vanity, brushing her dark brown curls. 

She looked at him in the mirror and grinned. “Morning, Dad!”

“Morning, starlight. You look…awake.”

“I like waking up this early! You can see the sunrise. It’s beautiful.” Stella put down her brush and grabbed two rubber bands. “Can you do my hair?”

“Sure thing, hon.” Bow smiled warmly at his youngest child. Using the brush and the bands, he pulled two sections of her hair into two puffs at the top of her head, leaving the rest curled on her shoulders, mostly on autopilot. He dreamed of shedding his fancy clothes and crawling back into bed with Glimmer, all while Stella babbled about the portrait and the upcoming Princess Prom.

“...really don’t think I need two separate dresses, but Kitt brought up the point–Dad…? Dad?”

Bow jerked himself out of his half-snooze. “Huh? Wha–oh. Sorry, twinkle. Guess I dozed off for a bit there.”

Stella smirked, turning in her seat to face him. “Feeling the consequences, eh Dad? Glow told you that having the portrait done this early was a bad idea.”

Bow stifled a yawn. “Yeah, yeah. I’m sure I’ll get an earful when I wake him up. I’m going to grab him and Angel, so get dressed and meet us all in the Great Hall.”

“Okay!”

Bow kissed Stella on the head and left the room, while she called out after him; “Don’t fall asleep on the way to Angel’s room!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel’s room was so unlike Stella’s that it took a moment for Bow’s eyes to adjust. They had put thick, deep purple curtains around the walls and windows of their room, making it look almost like a tent.

And unlike Stella, but very much like Glimmer, Angel was asleep in bed, snoring. 

Bow tiptoed across the room and grabbed one of the curtains. With one yank, the whole thing fell with a muted fwump, and early morning light streamed through the room.

Angel actually hissed, something he’d definitely picked up from Catra, and pulled his blanket over his head.

“Good morning, sleepyhead.”

“Go ‘way.” they muttered. 

Bow rolled his eyes and grabbed hold of the blanket, pulling it off of them. “C’mon, kiddo. It’s portrait day.”

“Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Stars, It’s so early!” Angel smacked his hands over his eyes and rubbed hard.

Bow winced. “I know, I know. That’s on me. But think of it like this. After we get the portrait out of the way, you can do whatever you want for the rest of the day.”

Angel huffed, and a lock of pink hair was blown out of their eyes.

“Plus, I’ll give you full rein over my next tech project with Entrapta.”

Angel considered for a moment, then rolled his eyes in a very Glimmer-like way. “Ugh. Fine.” Swinging his legs over the bed, he stood up and stretched. “But I’m gonna complain about it the whole time.”

“Yeah, that’s fair.” Bow chuckled and ruffled their hair. “Get dressed; in your nice clothes, please. Meet us in the Great Hall, I just need to get your older brother.”

Angel shot him a thumbs up as they rifled through piles of clothes on their floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glow wasn’t in his room, but that didn’t surprise Bow too much. An arrow was stuck to the door with a note that read; 

Hi Mom and/or Dad. 

No, I haven't forgotten about the portrait. I had nightmares couldn’t sleep, so I went to Finn’s place for a sleepover. Yes, Catra and Adora know I’m there. Yes, I will be back by seven. And yes, I did bring my fancy clothes and my tiara.

See you in the morning,

Love, Glowbug.

Bow frowned at the scratched off line, but decided not to worry about it for now. Glow was always running away to go see Finn or Zephyr, who lived near the Whispering Woods, and sometimes even to see Flora in Plumeria. He hated sitting still, especially after last decade’s disaster of a Princess Prom.

Pushing those bad thoughts from his mind, Bow changed course and headed over to the Great Hall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was streaming oh-so brightly into Glimmer’s eyes as she slowly came into consciousness. She was having the best dream, unlike the dreamless sleep she’d been having before Bow woke her up for–

“The portrait!” Glimmer yelped and shot out of bed so fast, it made her dizzy. She quickly checked her tracker pad, and, yep. She only had about five minutes to get ready.

She yanked off her nightgown and wiggled into her pretty dress in record time. She pulled a brush through her hair with one hand, and applied lipstick with the other, taking the cap off with her teeth. She slathered on foundation (so she didn’t look too much like a corpse), mascara, and eyeshadow.

Too late, she realized, she forgot to brush her teeth. Oh, well. She’d just have to pose with her mouth closed.

She pulled on a pair of golden sandals and hooked her cape around her shoulders. Barely stopping to double check herself in the mirror, she wrenched the door open, only to almost run into Glow and, to her surprise, Finn, who were standing in the doorway, preparing to knock.

“Stars! You two scared me!” Glimmer huffed a laugh, breathless from her morning rush. “And hi, Finn. When did you get here?”

Finn saluted her, tail swishing. “Same time Glow here did.”

She frowned and looked at Glow. “Did you go to Catra and Adora’s last night?”

 Glow nodded sheepishly, wings drooping. “I…couldn’t sleep. But Catra and Adora said I’m always welcome at any time!”

“Of course, I just wish you’d woken me up. I could’ve teleported you there.”

Glow shrugged, then brightened slightly. “Oh, yeah, I forgot. Dad wanted me to come get you. He’d figured you’d still be asleep.”

“Whaaaat? Me, asleep? On such an important day? Never!” Her point was mitigated somewhat by her loud yawn.

“Alrighty. Since you pink and purple freaks are gonna go do boring royal stuff, I’ll be in your room, Glow.” Finn punched him lightly in the arm “Don’t take a thousand hours.”

Glow rolled his eyes, but grinned at his friend anyway. “Okay, see you in a billion hours.”

Finn punched him again, gave a half-hearted bow to Glimmer, then scampered away.

Glow yawned slightly, and Glimmer laughed. “Who’s asleep now, sparkler?”

“Hey, I’m not the one who wanted to get our portrait done at early-as-fuck-o’clock in the morning”

“Yeah, you can thank your father for that one.” Glimmer cringed. “Speaking of which, we'd better teleport over there before he sends your siblings after us.” 

Glimmer held her hands out to Glow, and in a flash of sparkles, they were gone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Great Hall was a beautiful, open space, decorated with gold and the kingdom’s signature colors of pink, purple, and light blue. Other portraits lined the walls, the most notable of which showed Queen Angella, King Micah, and a two-year-old Princess Glimmer. This was the last portrait the small family ever did, as right after, Micah was “killed” in battle.

Angel and Stella–blessedly awake and in their fancy clothes–sat on a magenta colored chaise, watching Bow talk to the Salinean artist who would be doing their portrait.

“Ah, good morning, Your Majesty.” As Glimmer and Glow teleported in the room, the artist pulled away from Bow and swept himself into a bow. Angel snorted, and Stella smacked him on the arm. “I am called Tilapia, the most renowned artist in all of Salineas. I come with recommendations from Princess Mermista herself.”

“Yes, I know. Thank you for agreeing to do this so early.” Glimmer smiled, trying not to yawn again.

“Of couse, my Queen Glimmer. I know that you and your family must have very busy schedules.”

Bow came up to Glimmer, pulling her into a side hug so he could whisper in her ear. “You fell asleep again, didn’t you?”

“Hahaha–yeah.” Glimmer giggled. “Sorry, babe.”

Bow rolled his eyes. “I knew I shouldn’t’ve left until you’d gotten completely up.”

“Yeah, okay, but I’m not the one who placed our portrait appointment at the ass crack of–”

“Ahem.”

Both Glimmer and Bow froze, looking at Tilapia, who had set up his huge easel and gotten his paints ready. “Shall we begin, your majesties?”

The couple broke apart, muttering apologies. The kids were all snickering from the chaise sofa.

“Alright.” Glimmer clapped her hands together, teleporting herself and Bow behind their kids. “Let’s get this over with so I can take a fucking nap.”

I've been looking at Chantellier (and she's so cute!), and I see Muse and Cadence showing up sometimes. Can you talk about them?

Of couse!

A few things about the Shifting Flames sisters:

Muse: Older sister by two years, but is a big pushover and socially anxious, so she's always mistaken for the younger. She's the one who gets fire powers/connects to the Fire Opal. Prone to tears. You know those little kids who latch onto their parents and scream when they're being dropped off at nursery school? That's Muse. Certified Good Girl

Cadence: Younger sister, but oft mistaken for the older one. She's the one who always gets into trouble/leads Muse into it as well. Has inherited DT's big shit-eating grin. And proficiency at shapeshifting. Very litle actually bothers her. At most, something is an inconvenience that she needs to find a work-around for. Shapeshifts into a guard or palace staff to avoid trouble. (This would work great for her until she visits Bright Moon and Glimmer notices two Juliets.)

Both are good at dancing, but Muse is the only one who actively enjoys it. Muse is more delicate, Cadence is more rough-and-tumble. The two of them are either the best of friends, or frenemies.

OC question "🌼 ~ favorite flower" for twins!

(and additional question; maybe some nice/bad memories with that flower?)

i dont know how to answer the second one aksfbjkjs but i can add some symbolism for the twins.

Mira-Yarrow, esp red ones. From what I read up on yarrows is that it means healing and love. OG Mira was gonna have healing powers but I made her not have powers anymore but she does still have healing hands like she is good and mending wounds and stuff. + if i ever do her story lmao, she does stuff and she needs a lot of healing and a lot of love

Micah-Daffodils. Again from what I read they mean like rebirth and new beginnings and in one way it matches since he is named after his grandfather and can use spells as well. Idk if it makes sense but I still think they would like them anyway

Parenting articles on Etheria are like, "At what age can your child get their first boob window?"

WIP.

This is what happens when some poor bastards thinks that kidnaping Lord Hordak’s wife and child is a good idea.

Entrapta is not amused.

‘An unexpected visitor’ - Part 3: It’s finally here! The ‘visitor’ is Skeletor, Hordaks old mentee! I love watching the episodes of ‘Heman’ and ‘Shera’ from the 80s. It’s so silly and some of the villain insults is the perfect combination and dad jokes and Shakespear!

catchradora 🌟 family outing Rory was so excited to see the stars only to doze off right on Adora's shoulder.

[capndragn94]

Bow: Um, I'm not judging or anything, but is it really safe for you to work with a baby strapped to your chest? A lot of things tend to explode around here, especially near you.

Entrapta: Early exposure is important for her scientific development, besides she loves explosions. Watch.

*Entrapta pulls out a bazooka and blows up an old Horde tank as Bow watches in horror*

Despara: *Giggles*

Entrapta: See.

Hordak: I was going to search that for parts.

Happy family

Another commission by @crispygothcowboyhairdo . For the thread of Kyle as He-Man, here’s princess Dare, Kyle’s and Lonnie’s child, surrounded by her loving family

[tippenfunkaport]

Princess Arrow of Bright Moon

First born child of Queen Glimmer and King Bow.

Nickname: Ari

Named specifically because Arrow wasn't a name ever used before in the Bright Moon lineage and her parents wanted her to feel free to be her own person, free of any pressures or expectations.

Wields the same moonstone powers as her mother: light blasts and teleportation.

As a child, she was a being of sparkles and pure chaos. That... did not change much as she got older.

Loves to take things apart to see how they work… not so keen on putting them back together again.

Closest to Entrapta of all her "aunts." The combination of Bow's tech smarts and Glimmer's complete lack of impulse control mean they are both a terrible influence on each other.

While most similar to Glimmer in temperament, she's closer with her father because they share so many interests. (Bow also has YEARS of experience dealing with a temperamental sparkly princess that can teleport!)

Glimmer spent most of Ari's younger years trying to find a balance between parenting her own way and trying not to become her mother, especially since her and Arrow often clashed about the exact same things. But as Arrow gets older and there's less rebuilding taking the queen's attention, the two figure each other out, sparring with their powers and studying sorcery together.

As a child, Bow taught Princess Arrow archery, expecting her to lose interest in it once she was old enough to receive her moonstone powers. But because her moonstone powers are so limited (she shares the power with her mother and brother, Prince Glow), her archery skills ultimately came in handy. To Glimmer's immense irritation and Bow's distress, though their daughter only has the simple sparkles and limited teleports she started out with herself, Arrow taught herself to concentrate what little power she had into deadly bolts of light that she could fire from her bow making her twice as destructive as Glimmer was at that age.

Arrow's prized possession is her bow. Her grandfather Micah enchanted it she can summon it to her side instantly, same as Glimmer's staff. Her father made it for her along the same design as his own, but in rose gold at her preference. Though he modified the design slightly it tribute to the princess' love of unicorns and her familiar, Horkey (one of Melog's brood).

Arrow considers Finn their unofficial big sibling. Despite the significant age difference between the two (Finn's about five years older than Arrow), they consider each other equals in matters of sneaking around Bright Moon and getting into mischief.

Arrow is very close with her Aunt Adora, who she actually preferred to everyone for a brief period in her babyhood-- something Adora lords over everyone for the rest of eternity--, but delights in antagonizing Aunt Catra to the dismay of everyone within earshot when her aunt gives it back as good as she gets.

Appears in the following fics...
