Damn.. Nice deal there

https://www.amazon.com/He-Man-Masters-Universe-Complete-Original/dp/B07VVV4VW5/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/140-9078215-2760069?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07VVV4VW5&pd_rd_r=b5625935-b2a4-4313-9aef-d64b9c51d66e&pd_rd_w=ygOPL&pd_rd_wg=ecQPx&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=37TESG641CPDDAZBFQSA&psc=1&refRID=37TESG641CPDDAZBFQSA - and $53 for the complete series plus two movies (granted, they're the same ones as She-Ra). Damn.

(considering one season of NCIS is about the same price. A *season*. And we're getting a complete series for under $100???)

For complete series and a movie.

saw an SDCC exclusive I like - Rock Candy She-Ra. Please let that get a proper release someday..

(also, as a quick shout-out to a friend - they also have all the Jem issues up to the current issue and they're also up to the current issue on Winx Club)

saw some original concept art for She-Ra on one of the She-Ra pages I follow
let's just say - those are some unique looks..

I keep wanting to play with Bow's rather long hair..

okay - family trees
Brothers - Keldor, Randor
Keldor marries a young woman named Lilla and has a daughter named Neferure [yes, I was looking at a book on ancient women when I was naming her]
Randor marries Marlena and has Adam and Adora
Duncan has a love affair with Jean [because I forgot to rename her Teela-Na] and has two daughters, Teela and Ilona
Adam falls in love with Ilona and has two sets of twins and a single by her, Dare and Ry [set 1], Thais and James [set 2], Cole [Cole was via a trip to the past]
Dare goes to a prep school, James to an art school, Ry and Cole go to a military academy, and Thais goes to a school for peace and love
Adora falls in love with Kyle [aka Bow] and thus far has a son by him, Skylar [which is the explanation for the Sky Dancers tag]
Teela thus far is single

over in a different part of the neighborhood -
Kimber Benton fell in love and married Mary Phillips [Stormer] - no kids *yet* and they have a little girl named Skyla [and there's the Jem tag] (so, that will lead to Skylar and Skyla eventually meeting and getting married)

now, to figure out who Skylar's cousins are going to fall in love with...

edit:
The game doesn't recognize family relations between Cole and Neferure so they're together [not married yet, just dating]

edit again:
crap, I killed Rory [Riot]. Somehow he caught on fire [didn't see the how - I was off managing Jerrica/Jem's singing jobs] and there was a table in the way so Shana couldn't put him out. RIP Rory. [at least until your widow gets the quest to revive you]
However, he did manage to toss me a daughter before he copped it. Enter Tamara from Jewel Riders.
Dare discovered Ingrid [Minx] and those two are chummy, while Ry.. Ry, I'm questioning your sanity at the moment. Phyllis [Pizzazz]. Out of all the females in this universe, you had to pick Pizzazz. Fine, sure, whatever. [I'm slightly curious as to what the kids will look like..]
Aja's happy with Craig [forgot to mention that earlier]
Tamara's off in art school.
Oh, and Dare was all "I wanna join the political career" - so I let him and nearly died of laughter when I saw who his boss was. Grandfather Randor! [I can just hear the cries of nepotism now..]

really, self? Starting a He-Man neighborhood is one thing, plotting a Lady Lovelylocks one is another - but really? Trollz? How the hell did that one reappear on the radar

edit: and a holy crap, I randomly decided to visit the official site - it's still up and running. How old is this site?!
for those eager to see it: http://www.trollz.com/home/index.php?a=gotflash

castiel-knight-of-hell: Which half of your OTP starts Christmas morning by casually leaning in the kitchen doorway, reading a book, acting like they don’t know there’s mistletoe right above their head and which half walks past them while mumbling sleepily “Your book is upside down”

Just need to figure out which OTPs I'm going to tackle

edit: bouncing through fandoms (will be updating throughout the day)
Dragon Flyz:
Ilona/Z'neth - Ilona is definitely the one that walks past Z while mumbling sleepily "Your book is upside down" [there are days when she absolutely hates how much of a morning person he can be where as she needs a couple of cups of strong tea to even pass as human - of course, this gets neatly flipped on its head if he's been on duty]
Apex/Cifex - Apex is the one casually leaning in the kitchen doorway, reading a book, acting like they don't there's mistletoe above their head. She also makes sure there's a ton of mistletoe floating about the apartment she shares with Cifex [who totally misses the first few hints and has to get help from Apex's brothers to figure out what the deal with the plants is]
Peak/Nora - they flip-flop, depending on who's feeling more romantic on that particular occasion [although, Peak's the more likely suspect to be holding the upside down book]
Aaron/Iranda - she's the one that hung the plants so she knows where they are, he's the one with the book, she pretends to not see them (kids roll their eyes every year, with Summit swearing he'll never be like that)
Summit/Miriam [ry_sabir's creation] - remember the bit about Summit swearing he'd never be like his parents, oh that boy lies like a rug! Not only is he the one that hangs the plants about their shared apartment, but he'll even make sure there's a sprig ready for him to hang up when he pays her a visit at her place of work. Miriam lovingly calls him a dork but she likes the little Christmas tradition and will make subtle reminders once December rolls around
Zarkan/Amod - Zarkan's the one with the book upside down and Amod's the sleepy one [Amod needs at least a cup of coffee before he'll put up with Zarkan's flights of whimsy regarding mistletoe]

Masters of the Universe:
Adam/Teela - Teela swears he's a huge dork doing this but she will get bent out of shape if he so happens to forget a year. So, Adam is definitely the one who puts the mistletoe up, holds the book upside down, while Teela, on the other hand, is only pretending to be half asleep and missing the fact that there's mistletoe dangling over Adam's head.
Duncan/Sorceress - Duncan has to get extremely creative for this even to work since they live in two very different locations and are trying [unsuccessfully mind you since by now Teela's gotten a good idea who her mother is and what that might mean for her destiny - although, she plans on taking a page out of Queen Veena's playbook regarding that..] to keep it a secret. Needless to say, it confused more that a few people to see Duncan giving a kiss to the top of Zoar's head on one occasion [Ram-Man declared that he needed therapy from that]. So, Duncan tries to make sure he has it all set up for when he pays visits to Sorceress at Castle Greyskull.
Adora/Bow - Bow still wonders how Adora missed the signs for the first several years. But yes, he's usually the one that sets it up only for Adora to not register it right away. [Now She-Ra on the other hand.. Bow appreciates her catching on a little quicker than Adora - and yes, he knows Adora = She-Ra by now, still confuses the hell out of him though]
Randor/Marlena - [Moss-Man has no idea what the big deal is over a tiny little plant so it takes much coaxing for him to help but..] Marlena sets it up every year and Randor needs a swift kick before he realizes what his wife has done, again. [Adam finds it embarrassing that he caught on faster than his own father! Adora wonders if this is why she's so slow to pick up on it when Bow does it for her - which leads her to snarking loudly that she's definitely her father's daughter in that regard and that Adam's a total Mama's boy]

Star Wars [not touching anything from 7 since I haven't seen it yet]
Leia/Han - Leia finds herself being continually surprised that the nerfherder has such a romantic side [which he'll deny of course - wouldn't do for his image]. Still, she wonders where he finds the plant and has time to hang it [of course, ignoring the fact that he probably bullied Threepio into hanging it for him]
