10.The warm, gentle pace.
All of my stories have the power to bring gentleness and softness into a world where there IS NO SOFTNESS, and where every single TV channel is bombarded with noisy programmes for kids and loud, fast paced adverts. I get it, some stories like The World According To Humphrey and The Boy Whose Wishes Came True can be overwhelming, but my stories aren't, especially 'A Brother's Warmth', which is full of gentle charm and lovely slice of life moments.
9.The setting.
There is no king in this world, which is a Thundera-style Cats Lair palace with golden walls where Orko, his nursemaids, his little sister and his uncle live. There's also the meadow, the beach and the blossom orchard, which gives Furaha's love of nature a tone fit for the story. Orko has a love of nature too, and they love to share in their surroundings together, adding to the gentle tone of the story.
8.Its inspiration being the 2011 Thundercats series.
There are a lot of moments in the 2011 Thundercats series which aired on Cartoon Network a long time ago - Lion O using the Sword Of Omens for the first time, Clawdus' death, Tygra being adopted from birth by Lion-O's mother and father, Wileykit and Wileykat's dad being caught up in a twister, separating him from his family...all this terror isn't included in this gentle story, which sees Orko and his family live a peaceful live in this paradise.
7.Uzuri.
Uzuri is Orko's favourite amongst his nursemaid sisters. She was the one who gave birth to Furaha in this universe, and allowed her little brother to comfort and cuddle her, and help bathe her. She also helps with the cooking, cleaning and other household chores, which she does with ease. She is also a good mother to Furaha and sister to Orko, always playing with them when she has the chance.
6.Busara
One of two male characters in the story besides Orko, Busara is Orko's uncle. He has brown fur, reflecting his pride as a diverse lion in the family. Yeah, all families are like that these days - they're called blended families, or mixed families. Take Rudy from Sesame Street for example, when his dad married Abby Cadabby's mum, they had to move in with her family. Well, that's one way to teach kids about blended families! Me, You, And...is about accepting your family no matter what you're born into, and A Brother's Warmth is one of them.
5.The lessons.
Hmmmm....let's see...hmmmmm...there aren't a lot of lessons learned, really, just a glimpse into life according to a royal wizard, WHO DOESN'T LIVE ON ETERNIA ANYMORE!!! Sorry, I needed to feel Orko needs a bit of respect because he came from the 2002 He Man series. Some lessons from the 2002 He Man series, you. Can't. Trust. From the most abusive man in the universe.
4.The colour scheme.
I've chosen yellow for the document I've written two days ago, because it fits well with the royal theme. It's like using white bread and brown bread to condemn how we can get along with each other should we start accepting people of different races...and Disney, you are doing a terrible job.
3.The tranquil tone.
Kids' TV is dominated by the same shows every time due to the streaming era. Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam, Henry Danger...all those shows that'll make you want to rip your hair off your head! There's no sign of the tranquillity British TV used to bring to us kids, whether it's stop motion favourites like Noddy or Postman Pat or kooky live action preschool legends like Teletubbies or Tweenies. Luckily, I'm planning to bring that tranquillity back through my stories. Capiche?!
2.Orko
Orko brings a feeling of warmth and tenderness into my stories, and I've been honoring him ever since I first added him into my stories last year. He's the 2002 version, but I honor the 1980's version too. Shame he didn't appear in The New Adventures Of He Man, but in my stories, he gets more attention than he did in the 2002 He Man, which treated him like a punching bag, especially to Man At Arms, who here is voiced by the same guy who did Optimus Prime in the 2000's Transformers series. Darn you, Alexis! And stock footage from Transformers Cybertron too!
1.Furaha
Ah, now the overlord is sure to find Furaha cute and cuddly. Here, Uzuri has given birth to her instead of Ua, and she lives her life full of laughter and happiness, especially with her mum and her brother by her side. That's what this story is about - love and happiness. Near to the end of the story - spoilers - Furaha becomes upset that she may become queen one day and stop being a kid, but Uzuri reassures her that it's okay to be a kid, and yet she can stay with her brother forever.
Aaaaaawwww....
