Shameless simp for Horde Prime and spacebats. No longer active in spacebat fandom as of 2023ish. See original scifi romance comic at https://technocratcomic.com.
NOTE: I am no longer active in the spacebat fandom as of 2023-ish; my main focus is my original scifi romance comic which you can find at technocratcomic dot com. Leaving this post up for posterity. Also note, for those asking after Doberaptor, AFAIK they are OK and just left the fandom to focus on IRL.
Most of my writing has used the Galactic Horde (and Horde Prime) as a framework to explore topics like mental health, anxiety, and self-worth. And by “explore”, I mean “gratuitously indulge”. Expect very little angst and a whole lot of utterly contrived excuses for fluff and/or smut. :D Most OCs featured are nondescript Smols intended for reader-insert, all the better to focus on the spacebats.
HERE ARE ALL THE FICS, under the cut. Some are smut, some are dark, be warned, read the tags on AO3.
THE SMUT:
To Desire Perfection
My OG smut NOVELLA, my arty-prose magnum opus. Prime/Clone/Clones group ritual, mild dark, heavy religious-kink overtones, self-worth themes.
Finished, 22k words.
Prime Sees All
LONG, meandering Prime/OC/Clones fluff, smut, mild crack. Much less organized than TDP above, it’s essentially a tongue-in-cheek sandbox playing with a different kink every few chapters.
Almost finished but low on motivation to do so; 35k words and counting.
Tribute of Surrender
Clone/OC comfortsmut, follows ‘Terms of Surrender’, see below. Service top + powerbottom vibes.
Finished, 8k words.
Usurper
OC/Bottom!Prime, tongue-in-cheek dubcon. Features Young Prime, an OC created by Evouno; essentially a softer, more “flexible” version of Prime.
Finished, 5k words.
Envoy of His Light
PWP - featuring a suave, servicey clone concubine, and a human queen very much enjoying her privilege. 6k words and counting.
Unfamiliar Cravings
Collab with @ApocalypseOnlooker, featuring their clone OCs Lemon and Anemone. Sweet, feelsy, fluffy first-time smut. 8k words, not quite finished but steady progress.
THE FLUFF (and fluffsmut):
More Bat Than Usual
Fun, shameless monsterf--kery; comedy and fluff leading into smut. An Etherian wildlife researcher encounters a winged, feral spacebat in the Whispering Woods. Think 'The Shape Of Water' meets 'How To Train Your Dragon' meets 'George of the Jungle' meets ‘Gargoyles’ (...meets gratuitous spacebat smut). Finished, 11k words.
Care and Habilitation of your Ex-Horde Clone
In which a well-meaning Etherian woman volunteers to adopt a refugee Brother, who turns out to be a trained Envoy (the same designation as featured in Envoy Of His Light). Misunderstandings, awkwardness, steaminess, and fluff ensue. Slightly more worldbuilding in this one, focused on spacebats adapting to Etherian culture - and vice versa.
Finished, 50k word NOVEL.
THE THERAPY (all shorts, all finished):
Be At Peace
Prime/Reader oneshot therapy fic, allusions to depression/anxiety. I’ve been told it’s an excellent lullaby.
Finished, ~1k words.
Cast Out the Shadows
Prime/Reader oneshot therapy fic addressing negative self-talk.
Finished, ~1k words.
Terms of Surrender
Prime/OC short hurt/comfort exploring existential despair. Very arty prose.
Finished, ~1k words.
Anesthesia
Prime/Clones/Reader, ASMR-inspired medical-kink (nonsexual) and personal attention. Emphasis on vulnerability, some anxiety.
Finished, 5k words.
I can't stop thinking about the clone that Prime petted in Save the Cat. This clone is a background character with no lines, but I'm still emotionally invested in him for some reason. He probably spent the rest of his day being happy about Prime petting and approving of him. He's probably upset that Prime died. He's probably extra vulnerable to abuse due to (what little we see of) his personality. I hope no one else hurts him, I hope he achieves self-actualization, and I hope he has a good life.
I feel like @ladybinary named both of those clones...
Why yes, yes I did! :D That scene absolutely CAPTURED me; I had a lot of the same thoughts as anon here. Here's where I claimed the two attendants (though of course they're so lovable that I'm sure many others have done so as well <3 )
I call our sweet breathless clone 'Vess', short for 'The Vessel'... it's not so much a name as it is his dearest wish. ("When one vessel fails me... I simply elect another." ~headpets~) Admittedly, my thoughts on the matter veered... a bit less wholesome. Because I, like our Vessel, am a shameless simp. :P
The 'Vessel' scene was the original inspiration for my darkly steamy, somewhat tongue-in-cheek Prime/clones smut novella To Desire Perfection. Mind the tags!
Prefer a lighter tone? Vess and his companion Ako (short for The Acolyte) also show up in my silly, steamy Prime/DoubleTrouble comic series - a more lighthearted AU. See DoublePrime Comics Masterlist, particularly 'Double Escort'. (Spoiler alert: 'tis a happy ending for our sweet spacebat duo; Double Trouble takes good care of them :3)
Time to play the tumblr flag roulette! :D plees let me post this I worked so friggin hard on it lulz. Tagless in case it's too steamy. Nothing explicit is happening... (yet)
In which I attempt to actually paint a thing, with moderate success. Guh there are so many lighting layers here. Featuring Lukas, a spacebat OC from Care And Habilitation of Your Ex-Horde Clone, somewhere around chapter 22.
Spacebat OC from Care And Habilitation of Your Ex-Horde Clone. No shibari scenes in the actual fic, but I had the excellent fortune of a trussed-up model for reference, so how could I resist?
Art from the fic that is quickly becoming my new magnum opus: Care And Habilitation of Your Ex-Horde Clone. Above is from Chapter 14. Lukas' hair hasn't quiiite grown all the way out yet :3
Below the cut, a height chart in underclothes.
Kierah is Smol And Soft And Round. Lukas is... none of those things. :3
Tried to go kinda body-positive here, drawing a stylized version of my own pear-shaped figure... but the gods of THICC compelled me to exaggerate the proportions a little. I figured, those huge hands could use some extra squish to grip.
See the Chapter 20 end notes for the art that's too steamy for Tumblr <3
All inspired by @doberaptor's The Softness Of Ears, because Chief Medical Engineer Lucky Dog + Little Brother The Welder is absolute OTP material. None of this art is canon to the story (so far); I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM HAPPY, DAMMIT
Below: utter crack, inspired by a conversation that Welder's extra-delicate ears are so cute they might land him some kind of skincare ad.
And some snuggles. I need them. I NEED THEM TO BE OKAY.
In which I continue my prolific love affair with @doberaptor's Primevessel clone OC, Big Cedar (as featured in later chapters of our fluffy collab A Smol Favor); usually via the proxy of an increasingly furry Smol. I really have no excuse at this point.
Yes, I'm just dumping everything at once since I haven't updated Tumblr in forever. I rarely post art outside of Discord since I'm allergic to social media (and I'm never sure how much steamy is acceptable on Tumblr).
Fun with fisheye perspective!! This one was quite the challenge but I love how it came out.
Increasingly suggestive ones under the cut, nothing explicit but probably NSFT.
Above: in which... the Smol is a highly curious creature; Cedar is happy to indulge her; and, Lucky is... concerned. Alt title: willitfit.jpg
Below features Riva, another Primevessel clone OC from @pancakesdraws aka MushroomHunting on the Discord. Because who could say no to DOUBLE the Primevessel snuggles?
Yes, it took me *this long* to make an Etherian clone OC. (Well, at least, one with a name and full character design... the feral bat doesn't count. :P ) In the current chapters of Care And Feeding of an Ex-Horde Clone, Lukas hasn't quite adopted the above "Very Fancy Concubine" look yet, but expect that ponytail to grow out shortly.
Also Kierah, who is smol and round and soft. She has no idea what she's getting into by "adopting" an Envoy clone. :3
Yall up for some shameless, plotless monsterf--kery?
I was inspired by @spacebatjello and @yunta0722 and various other wonderful folks in the spacebat Discord to steal draw the feral bby below. He is having a Rough Day. Remember, he's more afraid of you than you are of him.
Then, of course, a fic happened. There will, needless to say, be smut.
Anatomy practice turned into more arts for @doberaptor, because their OC Big Cedar is illegally hot (naturally, being a "spare" Primevessel). Lucky Dog approves.
Bonus sketch because those thicc soft dreadlocks are a perfect napping spot for lil' Smol. Cedar has no idea she's in there.
More doodles featuring the titular mini-Etherian from 'A Smol Favor' collab fic with @doberaptor. Yep, spoiler alert (not rly) - she gets EVEN SMOLLER. Because how could I resist an excuse for ridiculous fluff like this.
The amazing @doberaptor's Medical Engineer clone OC, Lucky Dog, has utterly captured my heart; so much so that we've been co-writing a fluffy slice-of-life fic to introduce readers to Lucky and his found-family on Etheria (post-S5).
A Smol Favor
Originally the POV was reader-insert, but now the titular Smol is a... whole thing of her own. The Tol + Smol dynamic is food for my fluff-loving soul, and the whole thing is ridiculously, panderingly, weapons-grade cute, because dammit, Lucky needed some fluff in his angst-tank of a life.
Needless to say, there is arts.
Height chart for your convenience. Yes, spoiler alert, she can get *even smoller.* Because I have absolutely zero shame and I want to draw tiny cutefluffs held in big spacebat hands.
A gift - or perhaps a curse - for the legendary @bat-burrito, who rocked the world with their blursed SwiftWind/Prime fic I Would Dive Through Worlds in an Ocean of Gelatin Just to Braid Your Tail. The opening of said fic held a gun to my head and forced me to draw that fur coat drop.
Under a cut for VERY suggestive and also deeply cursed. But you have to admit He looks great in fishnets.
SPOP lore from the creators has it that Horde Prime's original design had four arms, but that was nixed because it was too difficult to animate.
WELL, THEY WERE RIGHT. This shiz is SO HARD TO DRAW. It took forever to figure out the secondary shoulder muscles.
He sure do look happy about it, tho.
Mind you, in the show canon, Prime hardly ever *does* anything with his hands anyway. He's not constantly tinkering on projects like Hordak is; he doesn't wield his own weaponry; all he ever does is make grand gestures and BadTouch. So, it logically follows.... what would he use extra arms for? Even GRANDER gestures... and even MORE touching. :D
