Y'now what really fascinates me about the Heterodynes~?~ It's a running joke that telling a monster "I AM YOUR CREATOR OBEY ME!" never works, but with the Heterodynes it does work mostly. I don't know if it's their extra strong sparks or just treating their creations with respect but Heterodyne monsters are loyal and the same goes for their minions. This is why I can like and root for all of the Heterodynes, even the old evil ones. I just have a soft spot for loyalty like that.
(publishing because honestly we need the whole fandom in on these things)
It seems that way with the Heterodynes and it has something to do with generational loyalty that is also contagious. But it is very different.
If a Heterodyne actually tries the “I AM YOUR CREATOR OBEY ME!” it doesn’t work for them!
See! it didn’t work. They work it by saying “IM THE HETERODYNE” because there is a good chance they arent the creator of the monster they are ordering around! A whole lot of monsters that each Heterodyne commanded were created by their predecessors!
I can’t find the page but the Castle wanted to do something that Agatha didn’t approve of so Agatha just yelled “HETERODYNE” and it complied with her wishes.
Gil was able to get the dingbot to work for him by saying it was helping its mistress (not creator)
The Heterodynes are not their monsters “creators” they are masters.
Similar loyalty is found in the Muses as they were created to serve the Storm King, whoever that is. The Storm King being their master, whether the king created them or not!
Tarvek’s not the original storm king, he didn’t build the muses, but they are completely loyal to him!
THANK YOU SIS
and look it calls Agatha “mistress” not “creator” (because she didn’t create the castle)
There is a part where Agatha screeches at a monster that she’s not its creator and that it should not obey her and it works.
...shortly followed, I must remind, by the monster's creator demanding it obey him, and, well.
