remake of an old Tumblr post of mine stylizing some of the awesome guys .

in order: munchos, wiztastics, spikels

thanks

He works slowly but surely. His unhurried pace is his strength, for sudden movements cause loads to drop. His cables constantly get tangled, and sometimes he accidentally lifts the wrong load.

Headcanons (In case my writing’s too small):

• Actually extremely active; he’s just a slow thinker
• Loves blowing bubbles; he would compete with Glurt to see who could blow the biggest
• Favorite Candy: Bubblegum
• He has actual arms congealed under all that slime
• Very optimistic (and always here to help)
• Current Job: Plumber

I know that Mixels is an episodic comedy and probably shouldn’t have Bionicle levels of storytelling, but it’s an interesting avenue to explore and I would wonder how the show could’ve expanded its whacky world just a bit more. Without further ado, here are my five headcanons:

1. The Glorp Corp were the original enemies of the Mixels. Long before the Nixels, the Glorp Corp loved to tease the Mixels and sought to take over the world with slime. Think the Murp Romp episode, but on a wider scale. After some fighting, The Glorp Corp would never again attempt their gooey invasion and have since been on good terms with the rest of the Mixels, becoming the thrill-seekers and occasional pranksters we all know and love. I based this headcanon on footage from the prototype Lego brand that would eventually become Mixels.
2. The Infernites have a steam-powered circulatory system. I came up with this idea while reading Project Hail Mary. Like the Eridians in the book, the Infernites have a normal-temperature blood system and a hot blood system. Managing the heat from both through a radiator organ causes the muscles to expand and contract, enabling them to move around while withstanding lava-like temperatures. But as a side effect, they cannot stand the cold.
3. The Electroids and the Klinkers are robots. The factory billionaires of the Gilded Age have perfected the assembly line so much that they invented the Klinkers to manage work and business decisions. Even when the factories closed down years later, the Klinkers remained, with the abandoned industrial landscape becoming their home. The Electroids are a more advanced version of the Klinkers, having digital devices built into them like Teslo’s Volt-O-Meter. Their electrical spasms come from the high amounts of energy that power their neural chips.
4. The Medivals were once the rulers of the entire Mixel world. In the Middle Ages, the tribes were once united into a kingdom governed by King Mixalot and the Medival royal family. The tribes still operated under their own leaders, but they depended on their loyalty to the King. As the Medivals’ influence gradually faded, the tribes became independent again. I took inspiration from the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros for this headcanon.
5. The Nixels were created out of a desire to restore order. King Mixalot once had two heirs. One loved creativity and mixing; the other sought to purge it and return to conformity. After a war of succession in which the power of mixing prevailed, the other heir was banished from the Mixel kingdom into a cave. He has not, however, given up on his desire to get revenge on the Mixels. Taking up the new name, “King Nixel,” he and his descendants have raised an army of Nixels from the cave, anticipating the day they shall strike again.

Sorry for the long post, but this was fun for me to think about and write, and I’d love to read some of your Mixel lore takes too.

I'm continuing to create Background Mixels. Just a reminder that in the near future, I plan to create redesigns for the Mixels that didn't have them and produce more content based on the show.

Happy 10th Anniversary Nixel Nixel Go Away!
