ahsterismâ:
  ADORA DOESNâT KNOW WHAT TO DOâ Princess Prom was supposed to be a chance to bring the alliance together, and her confrontation with Catra ( the thought of her, it only brings an ACHE in her chest, a hole left by a missing piece that wouldnât fly from the wire with her ) only led to a mission where they made it outâŚbut with a cost.Â
  Itâs on her hands, she knows itâ if only she had done something MORE, gone back maybe, thenâŚwho knows, Entrapta could have been saved. With everything clouding her mind, she almost FORGOT about the latest Horde defectorâ if sheâs being honest with herself, she never expected Kyle to leave ( orâŚanyone else, but figures Kyle would simply anxiously stick with the groupâs decisions ), and when he approaches her, she finds herself suddenly surprised, walking alongside him now as if they were still young and playful cadets, living a lie.Â
  âHeyâ Kyle. AndâŚitâs fine. About Entrapta, I mean, youâŚdidnât cause thatâŚnone of us could save her.â Gaze cast downwards for a moment, before looking back up quick. âThe kidnapping wasâ yeah, but youâre with us now.âÂ
âI went along with it though.â Though he knew she didnât blame him (through her insistence and remark that he was with them) he still couldnât escape the feeling that she did in fact blame him for his part. Anxiety was a bitch. âThat whole mission was Catraâs idea, and Lonnie, Lonnie was all for it as long as Catra agreed to leave Rogelio back in the Fright Zone.â They both knew Rogelio wouldâve had enough problems in the Kingdom of Snows to begin with, with the fact heâd never handled cold too well.
Lonnie had poured herself into her training. Trying to prove herself the best and he was pretty sure sheâd seen the ball as a way of besting Adora. Itâd eaten her up that Catra was made Force Captain in Adoraâs absence, it seemed as if everyone but Shadow Weaver and Lord Hordak had seen that Lonnie was the superior candidate.
âI can still try to help.â Kyle offered. âThey finished some of the placement evaluations, said the only place I wouldnât screw it all up was mechanics. Itâs not as good as what Entrapta couldâve done but I can try.â Even as he was trying to be optimistic he was unconsciously going back to some of his anxious tics, wringing hands together and pressing around the pressure point between thumb and index finger. He was acutely aware of his voice sounding more tense than usual and it was only at this point that he became aware of the thought potentially crossing her mind that he was going to spy on them. Nope, not an idea he even wanted to consider.
Again, anxiety was a bitch.

Everyoneâs been talking about the big moments in Catraâs redemption arc, and rightly so, but I just want to mention a few smaller moments which I loved because they were just as vital to making it work.
First, when she saves Glimmer Catra says sheâs doing it for Adora, not Glimmer. But there are few other moments which suggest otherwise. Catra visits Glimmerâs cell even when theyâre not talking, showing that sheâs not only going to see her because sheâs lonely.
Horde Prime also calls her out on feeling sorry for Glimmer, much like he called her out on still caring about Adora before, and Catra doesnât deny it. In fact her face gives her away much like it did before too.
And this is backed up further by the fact that Catra goes out of her way to get Glimmer the cake she mentioned wanting in their previous talk.
She was trying to downplay her selflessness to Glimmer so that Glimmer wouldnât convince Adora to come back for her, but Catra clearly didnât only save Glimmer for Adora, she did it because sheâd genuinely come to care about her as well.
Second, throughout this entire season Catraâs single greatest fear is that Adora will end up sacrificing herself to stop Horde Prime, but when she realises exactly what heâs doing to the people on Etheria, she actively encourages Adora to stop him.
Itâs obvious that sheâs truly concerned about the damage Horde Prime is causing, which makes a lot of sense when you remember that Catra has experienced being chipped herself. She doesnât want anyone else to have to go through what she did.
Third, the importance of this scene is obvious but I want to touch on something specific about it. Entrapta is about to leave here, ready to move past everything that Catra did before, but Catra still stops her so that she can thank her and apologise.
This is huge, because it would have been so easy for Catra to just let Entrapta brush it all off instead of bringing up her own mistakes and taking responsibility for them, but she makes the hard choice anyway, because she knows itâs the least Entrapta deserves from her.
Fourth, this moment is pretty funny but also incredibly important. Catra tells Adora sheâs working on her anger management, and follows it up with concrete action seconds later. She doesnât just promise to do better, she actually does the work to change her behaviour.
Words on their own mean nothing if you donât back them up with your actions, and itâs crucial that Catra doesnât just say sheâs going to work through her problems, but actually puts the effort in to make real changes and better herself.
Fifth and last, Catra reassures Netossa about Spinnerella, even though they have no prior bond and she knows Netossa still has every reason to hate her, simply because she feels bad for her and wants to make her feel a little better.
What all these moments have in common is that they show Catra expressing sincere empathy for other people. Her feelings for Adora may have been a big factor in her initial desire to improve, but Adora is definitely not the only thing Catra cares about.
tl;dr - Catra doesnât just choose to stop being bad, she consciously makes the effort to start being good as well, and thatâs why her development this season feels so satisfying and well earned.
