Someone in my YT comments made this joke and I think it’s hilarious! 😂

Btw, if you’re interested in checking out my indie animated film, Alicia and the Kingdom of Starlight, here’s the teaser trailer: https://youtu.be/fUhlHr41xLg?si=SNd7qY0LnWyoqst3

By just the design alone I'm really curious and can't help but to craft a story of my own but I wanted to hear yours the most.

Well, keep in mind that this is just the beginnings of the idea for my story, and it may change in time. But this is what I have so far right now:

Zod and his wife had separated. He had long been thought of as odd, wrathful, and formidable by those who knew him as a general on Krypton, and the older he got (and the worse the decay of Rao and Krypton became) the more mad he seemed to become. Their love had grown cold, Zod rarely went to see them, he was always working, and so Lor-Zod was raised almost exclusively by his mother.

When the chaos of Krypton’s end truly unfolded, Lor and his mother were among many Kryptonians who attempted to flee the planet. Amidst the bolts of blaster cannons that raged across the sky and through the atmosphere, their shuttle tried to escape and enter FTL. Right as their ship activated its FTL-drive, they were hit, and the resulting malfunction caused a rare phenomenon. The Oans had discovered it millennia ago; a slipstream of space-time that exists in-between dimensions. The Phantom Zone. There, no one ages, and all sense of reality becomes broken. Lor’s ship had managed to fall into a crack caused by the malfunctioning FTL-drive.

Lor and his mother managed to survive there—for how long, they had no idea—until at last a ripple in the blanket of reality allowed Lor to slip out of the Phantom Zone. Alone. He was stranded on a strange world, among strange people, and had changed much during his time in the Phantom Zone. His mind was not that of an ordinary child, but it was not that of an ordinary adult either. He could see things others couldn’t. The bends and cracks in reality, the way light and energy flowed through the universe, the secret code that constructed the very essence of solid matter as we know it.

The people of the world he was on tentatively cared for him for a little while, regarding him as unusual (and more than a little creepy), until the day when Brainiac came. That night, Lor awoke to see the village set aflame and people shrieking and running. Strange cyborgs were descending from a ship, taking children and raw resources whenever they found them, including Lor. The cyborgs said they had come to rescue him and the other children. That they were benevolent.

Lor was brought to their spaceship where he discovered an army of machines and children, but he was not placed with the others. He was brought before Brainiac himself. Lor was Kryptonian, and in Brainiac’s eyes he was like a precious jewel, statistically near-impossible to find by chance.

The indoctrination began. Lor was told that Krypton was dead, destroyed by mad men. Those who remained fled to a secret place called New Krypton, but they were pursued. A man called Superman was there the day that New Krypton fell, and all remaining Kryptonians were killed… except for Superman. He fled back to a planet called Earth, alive and well, leaving Dru-Zod—Lor’s father—for dead. Superman was a war criminal, an enemy of Krypton, a mad tyrant, one who must be stopped by any means necessary. Brainiac had crawled his way from the wreckage of Zod’s mangled ship, and kept within his programming the living memory of Zod, and his final wish was to destroy Superman and avenge his people! As well as Lor’s mother. Would he fight for her sake? Would he fight to find a way to free her from the Phantom Zone? Make her proud?

Lor believed everything Brainiac told him, still having something like a mind of a child, and would lead the other children in their growing army, going from planet to planet, “acquiring” resources, “rescuing” more children, and preparing for their assault on Earth. They would destroy it entirely, leaving only a few scraps behind to remember it by.

I absolutely loved your teaser @pinkiemachine and I’m still so excited for your project to be made into reality! To show my further support, I wrote you a song based on it. I hope you like it!

[Lyrics]

I never knew the sky could open wide,

Like a dream I’d kept inside.

Every star a lantern, glowing bright,

Guiding me into the night.

Whispers float on silver streams,

Carrying hopes, carrying dreams.

I step inside, my heart takes flight,

In the kingdom born of light.

Oh Starlight Kingdom, shining high,

Where every wish is born to fly.

A thousand voices fill the air,

I feel the magic everywhere.

Starlight Kingdom, hold me near,

Show me how the dreams appear.

In this place, I understand,

The night was painted by gentle hands.

I see the wishes drifting through the sky,

Soft as wings, they learn to fly.

Every heart that dared believe,

Left a star that never leaves.

It’s more than just a sky above,

It’s a map of hope, it’s made of love.

Every light’s a story told,

Every spark a dream of gold.

Oh Starlight Kingdom, shining high,

Where every wish is born to fly.

A thousand voices fill the air,

I feel the magic everywhere.

Starlight Kingdom, hold me near,

Show me how the dreams appear.

In this place, I understand,

The night was painted by gentle hands.

All the things I’ve ever longed to be,

Are written in the stars I see.

If I believe, they’ll guide me through…

And every wish will lead me to you.

Starlight Kingdom, endless skies,

I see the world through brighter eyes.

Every dream, a shining flame,

No wish too small, no heart the same.

Oh Starlight Kingdom, let it be,

A timeless song that carries me.

Here I stand, my soul takes flight,

Hello Dreamers!!!💫

Go check out my first ever video collaboration with @pinkiemachine! This video was made to discuss the Disney movie rankings that were shown in Pinkiemachine’s video series where she and her sister Bloodrayan briefly and comedically showcase their rankings on the films! (I recommend watching those as well 👌)

Thanks again to Rhapsody for inviting me to share my thoughts and rankings with her!☺️💖💕

I had an absolute blast getting to talk Disney with my friend, and I hope you all have just as much fun watching!😋🎉
