I have gotten into chapter two of my hanahaki disease fic, but I'm leaving it be for an essay centered around a Facebook post/poll on a fan group. It got me thinking how and which animals would work for Darkstorm. Cravex's animal totem is fine, and at most would need an update on appearance. It's almost akin to an analysis fan work I wrote for Skywarp ages ago, but it was more he reminded me of one for symbolism sake.

Here, this one is more about how this animal could work for him thematically-speaking between two rulers who are in a constant stalemate, and how it better reflects certain attributes about him (personality and skill wise). Sure, the Swamp Mollusc can be menacing but if most of the time he's getting slapped in the face, then it loses most its presence because of it.

Also, if I must pick an Earthly animal for Cravex it would be a crow. That animal acts way more opportunistic than a vulture, it has affinity for collecting knick-knacks and shiny things, and I thought it would be funny if this happened in the show.

(Cravex tests Arzon's patience while in the air.)

When will it be out? I have no date set, and I never set dates for any of my fan woks. I only have a general idea when it will come out. :P

Introduction

Welcome to my second ship manifesto, and this time I would like to re-visit an old topic I already talked about a few years ago. I’ll be talking about Cravex and Mortdred, and why I love this couple so much!

Yes, Visionaries is the cartoon that just keeps giving because I’m still finding things to talk about. And yes, I’m going to be talking Mortdred and Cravex, again. But, it’s in a more romantic angle than my last study about them. Mainly, I can’t hide my bias with these two and I feel this will allow me to explain some points further than last time.

I know some people will feel as though I’m reaching with this one. Don’t say it because I have my moments where I feel like I am. But, this is a ship manifesto so this is more for fun. It’s also mainly, due to how short this series is, a lot of it is my own interpretations and speculations on these two because they’re were one of the many characters that didn’t get it a chance. So, some of it is more covert in nature (I’m looking at you, Cravex). So please excuse me for becoming unhinged in this work. As I said before, I’m biased about them.

So, I will be retreading some areas if you haven’t read my character analyses about these two, and relationship study. Also, I wanted to talk about some new things I’ve found along with some points I’ve missed in my relationship study. Plus, an interpretation I had of Mortdred that in hindsight was completely wrong.

And without further ado, let’s get right to it.

( The Full Manifesto )

Has it been four years since I'd written this? Man, time does fly. So, I mainly talked about why I liked the Star/Marvel comic interpretation of Lexor more than the cartoon's. Despite it being six issues long -and being cancelled half way through a four-part storyline-, I'm impressed that the writers decided to leave some room for Lexor to grow as a character; we can see where he can improve and/or becoming worse.

I have been pondering on a fanmade third-part of the cancelled storyline where Lexor and Mortdred are teamed up to outsmart Ectar and Witterquick to obtain the Fire Crystal. I also have a headcanon for Lexor's kingdom having the crystal, and because of it they're the best place to get armor, weapons, and other items because it's made fast because of the amplified fire and heat.

You can read it here on AO3 or go under the cut if you like!

Mortdred is one of those characters where the character gag should have been used sparingly or kicked to the curb never to be seen again. I wrote an essay discussing how much of a hindrance the "lol, he's a sycophant!" gag becomes in the cartoon. When in the comics, there's a glimpse of it being more than a joke; where it's more of an examination of his character and why he does the things that he does. Sadly, in the comics were cancelled and so that idea will never be expanded upon.

Well, here's the AO3 link, here, or you can read it down below, too.

Current Mood: sick

This one goes back to 2016 during my time with Transformers IDW; I was reading some G.I. Joe comics for the Hasbro-verse since Skywarp was going to be with them for a while. It was a weird time to be alive when they decided to give it a shot, and it was rather mixed to say the least. But, it did bring attention to M.A.S.K. and Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light (the latter I enjoyed the most).

Going back on track, here's the speculative character essay of mine. I don't think I can recapture the feel and inspiration I had when I wrote this, so don't expect it getting any updates anytime soon. It's more of a screenshot in time where I was still enjoying writing essay-long meta pieces about my favorite characters. I have to thank my 12th grade literary exploration teacher for allowing some creative topics about the books we've read; I had a lot of fun writing.

Here's the AO3 link, or you can read it down below.

I posted this back in June 18th, 2020 for the March Meta Matters Challenge along with Meta Manifesto 2020 Fest. I'm still proud of it and I find myself re-reading it to this day.

I wanted to write about my favorite Darkling Lord, Cravex, because he has many (potential) layers to his character than most fans will ever talk about or even explore in fanfiction. In essences, I wanted to share what I thought of him and maybe someone felt the same way that I do.
