          For once an effective political commentary short that heavily criticizes war and xenophobia throughout history and how war is just an endless battle against those slightly different from us. Our country was already fine and we were barely free. We weren't figuring for freedom, we were fighting to serve the bloodlust of our country.
          
          But imagine if this paralleled the Nixel Armada and their clone army.

Wait, you mentioned the "common Mixmallian language" right? That reminds me of the time I came up with the headcanon that there's native languages in each different land of each tribe but there's a common language that connects them all, and of course obviously it's like our native language though I haven't gotten the full language down. Some phrases I thought of would be "Banzai", an exclamation of delight for Wiztastics, a call of fight or war for the Fang Gang, "Tak" (Polish for "yes") as a possible addition, and since teeth is the most notable thing about the Fang Gang tribe, I assume their language would involve more "k" sounds and they might have a secret code where they click their teeth like Morse Code!

            That's right! I got more things to think of now, cause the tribes would absolutely have different instruments and music based on what's available to them!

            Yup, good eye! Tis the name I've given their language Love that idea for the Fang Gang and what their language could sound like, that'd be so sick to see in action!
            And exact same! I like to think that each tribe had/has their own old languages with words only certain ones would have, since they'd all have different experiences/physicalities! It's actually part of my in-universe explanation as to why they have super specific named stuff (like things that would only exist for us), like Tesla coil trees/Teslo's name.

@TecknoGecko Yeah! Like how I had this one headcanon that the Cragsters were actually mostly silent but only spoke a word or so if it's on urgent matters that need to be said out loud. Now, since the connection with other tribes and helping them fight the nixels (stupid buggers keep popping up everywhere), they've started talking a bit more though they would use less syllables in case more meant the message couldn't get out since nixels do pop up when you least expect em. Besides, makes communication easier to get the point across

Or would you say that a form of marriage in Mixel culture would be two mixels mixing together and staying that way for as long as they wish kinda like Garnet from Steven Universe?

TecknoGecko

@CandyLovely148 
            Yes!! Exactly! That's part of what makes these guys so freaking fun to explore! Mixing and being creative is such a huge portion of their lives, it's in everything they do, from expressing themselves, defending themselves, or just wanting to spend time with someone they care about (platonically or romantically)! It's such a rich dynamic to explore, you gotta love it.
            Heck, in my own flights of fancy about bringing the show back, Mixing is pretty much used that way, to represent harmony, overcoming a challenge, or to show a strong bond between friends or siblings, and if it got that far, it could absolutely be a romantic gesture!

@CandyLovely148 Oooh! Like how some people prefer to stay friends and not do as many "love couple" things and other want to hang out more and do those "love couple" things so mixing can represent different meanings like a way to fight, a friendly gesture, or perhaps a sign of romance if you want!

            Oooh, I haven't seen too much of Steven Universe, but that does seem like a fun idea! 
            I do like how the little guys split after a time, making Mixing something temporary and even more precious, but this also sounds like such a sweet idea! That'd be a really interesting plot to explore, for sure!

So, if the most popular religion is Christianity, but that does not mean other religions like Buddhism and Judaism do not exist, then what if there were more religions outside of Maximism (my headcanon name for the Mixels' canon implied religion of worshipping the Maximum Mixel)? Like one about the rainbow creatures that defended the Planet Chromatia (my headcanon name for Planet Mixel) that had to split into the single-color mixels to escape and confuse their enemies that were sealed into a cocoon that eventually broke into the current nixels? Or obviously, there's gonna be evolutionism with the LEGO Monsters, but what would be YOUR thoughts? For me, that would mean that there could be also specific religious holidays like Maxmore (Christ -> Maximum Mixel, "mas" like spanish "más" meaning "more"), or Nixvade (Nixel evasion, kinda like Halloween though probably with more to do with nixels than paganism in its root origins)

            First off, this is such a unique and cool look at the history of the Little Guys doing Little Guy Things, and your name for their planet goes so freaking hard. And it absolutely would make sense they'd have some varied belief systems and holidays with those systems! 
            And the Nixels having their own holidays makes sense, too! I haven't done a ton of thinking for larger things like that! I do have the individual tribes having their own ceremonies and the like, but that's absolutely something to consider now.

@TecknoGecko Yeah! It's obvious they'd even have their own religion and society (the latter I did once explain to you about) too! Maybe their religion is where two giants created by the Naxinum Nixel were created to watch over the Planet Chromatia (though my reason for it being called "Planet Mixel" was because of the mixels' hatred for the nixels) and then the one day, color seeped form the ground and out came a geyser of elements that overtook the land and out came chaotic monsters that nearly overtook the planet and only Nixelite, the very material of the Birthing Hill (aka a mountain of Nixelite where the nixels would grow in the crystal and break off) could defeat them. And years later, they mimicked their civilization and even their behaviors

Say, do you like Zaptor's less-well-known trait of environmental activitism shown in "Pothole" along with his popular love for hamlonga sandwiches?

CandyLovely148

@CandyLovely148 Dude, tell me about it! I completely agree!

            Honestly, I wish we'd had more time to see them do their thing, the writers had whole stories ready, you could dedicate an episode to each lad and still have a ton of content.

            Yeah! The sandwich thing is hilarious, and I thought the idea of him caring for the environment was really sweet
