Hybrid Anomaly (Homestuck AU/ Fanventure)

What you’re looking at is the official logo for a now defunct franchise known as Disney Heroes.

Disney Heroes was basically meant to serve as the sister…..or more appropriately, the brother franchise of the Disney Princesses, with the focus being placed on the male heroes of the Disney pantheon.

The franchise initially started back in 1999, but under the name of Disney Adventurers. Not only that, but the line-up was rather small, consisting of the titular protagonists of Hercules, Aladdin, Peter Pan, and their most recent film at the time, Tarzan.

The franchise mainly existed through toys, with some notable merchandising besides that here and there.

The franchise remained this way until about 2003, when it got a notable revamp.

The franchise would get its current name and it would expand the roster quite a bit. The new members included Merlin and Arthur from The Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty, and Li Shang from Mulan.

I also think Simba from The Lion King was a part of the roster as well, I think I remember seeing him on a backpack done for the franchise.

But in 2005, the Disney Heroes franchise had a another revamp…this one notably different from the previous ones.

Although the franchise mainly existed through toys and play-sets that more or less stayed faithful to their respective films, these however…..

Your eyes are not deceiving you….these were actual action figures created and designed by Disney for the Disney Heroes franchise…..and I couldn’t be anymore happier.

Hercules looks like an ancient Greek warrior with the golden armor, plus he’s carrying a big xiphos and a golden shield with the face of a lion.

Peter Pan is now sporting some tan gloves, boots, and ever a mask, carrying a bow and quiver of arrows alongside his trusty dagger.

And Captain Hook has a more swashbuckling look, and his rapier has been replaced with a big ass cutlass!

Prince Phillip and Maleficent were also apart of this line-up of action figures as well.

Phillip had a more knight-like appearance, even having a helmet with a golden falcon on top.

And Maleficent…well, she was in her dragon form.

Sadly, only five action figures were made in this style….

And it’s a shame, given that there were plans to revamp the franchise with a more action-oriented style.

These designs by Disney animator Ruben Procopio for planned future figures for the franchise really highlight this…

Aladdin was gonna look like an Arabian Knight, complete with a dagger and a huge ass scimitar that would make Cloud Strife impressed.

Tarzan was gonna go for a Conan the Barbarian-esque look, complete with a headband, a vest, a tooth necklace, boots, and even a quiver filled with spears, knives, and arrows.

And as you could see, they were even gonna introduce The Beast from Beauty and the Beast as a new member of a roster, with the appearance of a warrior prince and a mace as his weapon.

Unfortunately, these figures never came to be....

Although Disney Heroes franchise was doing decently fine, it was nowhere near the level of success of the Disney Princesses.

As a result of that, Disney slowly but surely phased out the franchise over the next three years.

By 2008, the Disney Heroes franchise silently ended, only merchandising through coloring books and their only new addition since 2003 being....of all characters....Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

So yeah....that's pretty much the story of the Disney Heroes franchise.

It's honestly a shame because I could totally see this franchise being pretty successful today.

And given the rise of nostalgia and crossovers in media over the last decade, I could see this being an absolute goldmine for all parties involved.

And today, I'm gonna share on how I think a revival of the Disney Heroes franchise should play out.

.It would aim more towards a older audience, mostly teenagers, similar to the Disney Villains franchise. It wouldn't really focus all that much on toys like the Disney Princesses, though there would be some figurines here and there, instead focusing on media that's more accessible with a older crowd like novels, comic books, video games, and even animation.

.Unlike it's previous iteration, and to that extension the Disney Princesses, it would be more gender-neutral, featuring male and female representatives of most of the represented films as members of the roster.

.Also unlike the Princesses, this franchise has its own backstory. Various Disney villains have joined forces in other to further their respective goals. In retaliation, a group of various Disney heroes, led by Merlin, have united to fight against the villainous alliance and protect their respective realms. I know it's a pretty simple premise, but I think it's the perfect that way.

.The franchise will have a major focus on action and adventure....which for a franchise like this, should be expected.

.Many of the characters will be receiving redesigns in the veins of the ones done for the franchise back in 2005, which give off a fantasy warrior, almost Dungeons n' Dragons vibe. While these wouldn't be to the extent as say, Disney Mirrorverse, they would clearly by different from the characters' usual attire and makes them come off as more like warriors ready for adventure and battle.

.The series will essentially expand on the worlds of the films and bring in elements from their original source materials, official continuations like the TV shows, and even the cultures they represent.

Okay, now that we got the major elements out of the way, I'm gonna briefly share who would be apart of the roster for this new franchise, and list them in chronological order of movie release.

.Alice

.Peter Pan

.Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip

.Merlin and Arthur

.Mowgli

.Robin Hood

.Ariel and Eric

.Belle and Beast

.Aladdin and Jasmine

.Simba

.Pocahontas and John Smith

.Quasimodo

.Hercules and Megara

.Fa Mulan and Li Shang

.Tarzan and Jane Porter

.Milo Thatch and Kida Nedakh

.Jim Hawkins

.Tiana and Naveen

.Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert

.Merida

.Anna and Elsa

.Moana and Maui

Just imagine.....seeing this iconic heroes going on various adventures, from the hottest deserts to the deepest jungles. Fighting against mythical monsters, thieves, wild beasts, villainous knights, deadly invaders, mysterious spirits and swashbuckling pirates!

Anyway, that's all for now. I'm planning to go more in-depth on this idea, fleshing out the characters and their worlds.

I've been working really hard with HARETWO to create a fan interpretation of a limeblood car within Hiveswap.This was purely off my theories and headcannons with limebloods

Feel free to use the background! just give credit please

Thanks, i fixed it

and yeah, i've never been a fan of the Life aspect's color scheme, it's boring and it doesn't fit with the other godtiers, most GT have one color and diferent variants of the same color on the hoodie, symbol, ect. i made a quick alternative life gt

this is foreshadowed kind of obliquely by one, having chess and pool be exactly the same game in-universe, with sburb taking the form of a collosally complicated game of chess in multiplayer sessions, but taking the form of pool in a single player session, and two, having caliborn switch his king and queen’s appearance, but having them move as if they were the piece they appear to be

vriska appears to be the 8 ball and killing her appears to end their game prematurely, but shes actually the cue ball, and killing her causes a scratch in which she can be placed wherever is most advantageous for the opponent, and english is the 8 ball, and shoving him into the metaphorical pocket that is the black hole from the collapse of the green sun ends the game 

Which links the cueball to Homestuck’s pervasive traditions of Gnostic/Christian, Grecoroman, and Egyptian myth. In all of these stories (but in Gnosticism in particular as far as I can tell), there’s a consistent focus on Eggs as a symbol of both destruction and birth, best summed up by a quote from Herman Hesse’s Damien:

The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God’s name is Abraxas.

(if that sounds familiar, it’s because it also shows up in Revolutionary Girl Utena, another story steeped in Gnostic symbols.)

And let’s not forget that the cueball/egg is also tied to another symbol: That of Homestuck itself. 

So symbolically, The Ultimate Juju/Story of Homestuck is at once three things:

1) It is the world that Lord English has created, that the bird (our kids!) must destroy to be born.

2) It is the cueball. Specifically, it is the IDEA of the cueball. Lord English successfully suppreses all cueballs that can hurt him in physical reality, but is ultimately beaten because he cannot stop the power of the IDEA of the cueball, manifested symbolically. 

3) It is also, simultaneously, an egg–a symbol of inevitable change. Change, whether it be for himself or the world he created, is, of course, the only thing that Lord English cannot tolerate, so it makes sense to present eggs as a weakness for him.

I’ve written about most of this in my essay on Gnostic myths and how they influence Homestuck, which you can find here.

But one last note: Just as important as how it affects LE is what this means for the characters. Homestuck is arguing that none of its characters have been “born”, constrained as they’ve been within the “shell” of LE’s alpha timeline. 

In Act 7, that egg seems to hatch, the shell of the world that constrains it cracking and splintering under the force of the bird’s will.

So what comes next for Homestuck’s characters, if this is meant to be the moment of their birth?

hey there! Could you tell me what you think a Heir of Time would be like? As in, personality, powers, team role or whatever else your beautiful brain can think of.

*Entirely Metaphorical Thumbs-Up gif.jpeg |:|[1]*

I did this once before, but apparently it’s still a thing. Trolls and Humans could not conceive together for two reasons. One : Trolls have an external reproductive agent, the Mother Grub, and individuals release a genetic material, meaning they have neither sperm nor egg, which means they offer no way for a human to become pregnant, or to be impregnated by a human. Second being, even if they DID become pregnant, they are from a vastly different evolutionary template than humans. Yes, they’re humanoid in shape, but that seems to be part of The Game more than evolution, so they wouldn’t be viable whatsoever. It’d be like a Zebra and a cat mating. Sure, they both have four legs and fur, but it ain’t happening.

Okay! So, let’s talk about Human/Troll Genetics, apparently this is a thing we’re doing here today. Upon further inspection of the Credits, I’ve noticed that the one Grub I thought was a Johnkat grub is actually a mix of Karkat and Kanaya! I haven’t been able to identify babies with Troll hair traits, nor grubs with Human hair traits, so that already puts into question the notion that Trolls and Humans are genetically compatible, I’d need to check the babies’ hair one by one and every Kid and Troll’s hair, post and pre-scratch, to check 100% sure if there’s any mix like that. BUT for the sake of this argument, let’s say they can indeed mix with one another, and they can actually have babies together without the Ectobiology process.

First of all, we don’t see any Troll-Human Hybrids, nor is the notion even mentioned once, the closest we come to this is Davepeta, with traits from Dave and Nepeta, and they’re a Sprite, so they don’t count. So chances are if Trolls and Humans can mix, their traits are a mix of both parents, but they can only be a Troll, or a Human. Now this makes things easier- If they’re a Troll, their names will be 6-letters long, if they’re a Human, they’ll be 4-letters long, because that’s how the comic arbitrarily names them and not because of anything specific. To be honest, I bet they could name them any number of letters, but shrug. This makes this question much more easily answer-able.

However, for our next question, the thing we have to answer isn’t who gives them their name- It’s how the family structures would work for these hybrids. Do Humans supply genetic material for the Mother Grub, who then births Humans along with the Troll Eggs? Or do Trolls/Humans get pregnant and raise the Humans or Grubs in a nuclear family environment? Would Lusii actually raise a Human Baby as well? Is there any possibility for Trolls to become pregnant or Humans to become pregnant from a Troll?
