Korra and Asami only held hands because Nickelodeon wouldn’t let them do more.  Nick infamously cancelled Korra and put out the rest of season 4 as a webseries only.
Marceline and Princess Bubblegum only kiss in the very final episode because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let them do more.  There are a ton of interviews with Pendelton and with the voice actresses where they talk about the CN censorship.
Steven Universe got as far as it did because Rebecca Sugar fought tooth and nail, and risked the show getting cancelled (which it did in many countries, if not heavily censored), because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let her.  Ruby was often dubbed over with a male voice, and Pearl/Rose interactions were completely cut.
She-Ra managed to do it largely because it was specifically on Netflix only, and even then, Noelle has said they had to build 4 seasons of storyline very subtly around it so they had enough ammo to convince the execs that Catradora was the only logical conclusion to this show they had already aired.  She didn’t just go in on Day 1 and make it gay; she had to plan many years in advance for how to set up her argument.  Her argument, y’all.
And now we have The Owl House.  Which is an absolutely wonderful show.  And it’s so amazing that we actually get to see queer characters get the kind of representation that so many straight characters get.  And it’s amazing we get to see the romance build up, instead of just a quick peck in the series finale!
Let’s not forget that in the US, it was illegal for gay people to get married until 2015.  Korra aired in 2012.  In Texas, it was a punishable felony to even be gay until 2003.  No, literally.  Just being gay was an arrestable offense here in Texas until 2003.  We have come a really long way in 20 years!
But don’t fucking dare disrespect any of these other shows by saying they didn’t try, or that their representation didn’t matter.  The Owl House is standing on the shoulders of giants.  Lumity is only where it is because Korrasami and Bubbline helped get them there.

THIS IS A GREAT SPOP AU READ ON AO3 WEBSITE!! 🌟💯🌟
Tumblr media
Summary:
With Horde Prime defeated, the Best Friend Squad journeyed into space to bring magic back to the galaxy. At least, that was the best outcome among many that fate could have taken them to.
In this reality, when Adora smashes the Sword of Protection, Etheria is instead pulled into a universe with problems far larger than a sadistic Galactic Emperor—a universe where the Hero, the Fallen Friend, and the Once-Queen have no choice but to confront a crisis threatening the very foundations of reality itself.
Etheria is no longer alone in Despondos, and the galaxy is a far more dangerous place than they could have ever imagined.
(Post-Season 4 AU)
Part I: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Chapters 1-16, Complete)
Part II: Catalysts of Change (Chapters 17-28, Posting)

any chance you would do a catradora fic rec part 3?
you’re in luck!!!
break me like a promise - modern au where catra and adora are exes who meet again when lawyer!catra has to work with adora’s company. as kellan and lex’s self-appointed adopted older sister, i just want to say that this fic hit me with a metal bat in the kneecaps, pushed me down the stairs, and then swaddled me in a blanket and handed me a warm cup of tea. i binge read this fic on a saturday afternoon and i haven’t known peace since. 
maps - FLORA MY PAL i hope you know this fic slaps!!! this fic has some of the most lovely writing about catra processing the events of canon... ALSO RAZZ AS HER THERAPIST? ICONIC SHOWSTOPPING BRILLIANT... the entire first portion of chapter four is one of my favorite parts of any catradora fic. seriously. 
if i loved you less - any of sunny’s fics are lovely but this adora character study is just.... yeah. the writing speaks for itself. its beautiful.  
want me down to the marrow - dia calls this his “catra’s hot girl summer fic” and it will devastate you and rip your heart out but my goodness is it good. i remember when i read this and saw the this is how you lose the time war quote at the beginning and started screaming and didn’t stop until the end. dia’s writing is fucking wonderful. 10/10. 
bigger & brighter than space - five times adora represses herself and the one time she doesn’t. by rhys. and who doesn’t love rhys’s fics??????? im just such a slut for adora character studies. 
say it back - another delicious “what if adora wasn’t so repressed” fic in the 5 + 1 style where adora says i love you to catra five times and the one time catra says it back. i love mel with my whole being
the vanishing point - do i really even need to say anything about this one? 
things that matter more than winning - catradora but make it this is how you lose the time war. enemies pining and writing letters back and forth??? sign me the fuck up. 
where the spirit meets the bones - because dia loves to kill me with taylor swift lyric titles and a deep understanding of catra and adora. 
just a summer thing - sexy modern fake dating au that was just completed for you to binge the slow burn all at once!!! 
and there’s part three of my catradora fic recs. i only do ten at a time to avoid having this spiral out of control, but i’m sure there will be a part 4 lol. here’s part 1 and 2.

holy shit this is amazing
i was chilling in the couch a little tired and tHEN I SHOT UP AWAKE WITH THIS IDEA like i just got hyper excited and started walking around thinking………..
imagine that adora and catra don’t go to the whispering woods when adora gets promoted - adora never gets that first contact with the sword of protection.
she lives up to shadow weaver’s expectations for her, becomes the best force captain in the horde, but theres a catch for our dearest sw - she doesn’t go without catra, even with sw saying that catra isn’t worth for her team adora goes ok and takes her behidn sw’s back and wins her first battle as force captain with praises - but she didnt alone of course, while adora was the one planning the perfect attack catra lead the small strike team that made sure the resistence couldn’t escape. hordak promotes catra and sw seethes.
they raise through the ranks together as they promised, adora is cold calculation and catra is vicious but precise attacks, they are better together because adora will make sure they use less tropes than the others captains, knows where to hit and catra makes sures they hit hard.
just - just imagine, after years general adora from the horde, full armor, visible scars, a woman of few words and always on attention - everyone is scared of her, but when the big guys aren’t looking she’s kind to the cadets, pats their heads and tells them ‘good job’ and where she goes there’s general catra with her own scars and lighter armor to fit her role as stealth leader, she got a permanent smirk that says 'i know more than you’, her hair is fuller and people are also scared of her cause while adora carries more victories in battle, catra has more kills - she causes uneasy, but like adora she was a soft spot for the younger cadets, she fixes their stances and ruffles their hair to annoy them….
as they rise, shadow weaver tries to pull them apart, tries to persuade hordak against catra but hordak isn’t having none of it cause they are the most successful soldiers under his command and even him recognizes they do better when put together but when adora hears about it she marches to the black garnet room and stares sw down with a snarl and 'we both outrank you now so you have no power over us… and if you ever try to hurt her again i will kill you myself - yknow hordak wouldn’t mind if i did’ she ain’t playing.
but even as captains, commanders, generals or w/e catra and adora still keep old habits ofc - they sleep in the same bed every night. first they would hide it cause WEAKNESS but as they rise, as their influence grows they stop giving a damn - who would move against hordak favorites? their lord values efficiency over anything and if there’s something they are it’s efficient - so when they stand too close and share whispered words before a battle, a quick hand squeeze before catra goes off do her job.
their affection to each other is contained when they are out, but when they are safe inside their little world they touch each other so deliberately - catra helps adora out her armor, adora changes catra’s bandages after a battle, scratches her ears as catra read through their orders, catra pulling adoras hair out its ponytail when she falls asleep cause shes exhausted after hours of strategize (they do more than that of course, one meeting in the middle of summer adora is wearing a scarf and scorpia asks why and she says shes cold but scorpia is like but youre sweating do you have fever?? catra can’t stop grinning - adora remembers that and in the other day catra is walking funny for some reason)
they are the bane of the rebellion. they take kingdom after kingdom for the horde - capture princesses (never kill princesses, way too valuable) and leave brightmoon for last - the headquarters and last bastion of the rebellion, hordak is estatic - he calls for his best generals before the last battle to congratulate them for the good job.
but there’s a catch.
at her first mission as force captain - the one where she sneaked catra to go with her - she finds out about the evil the horde is doing. she thinks about running away, tells catra for them to run away together but catra is like where would we go? the rebellion won’t take us, we are horde soldiers and adora is like fuck youre right and shes having her identiy crisis cause she doesnt want this, she thought she was doing good but the horde is killing innocents - but then catra reminds her of their promise and adora stops
'we can destroy them from inside out’
'it will take time, a really long time’
'we can do it, together.’
'together.’
and they start it - add another vow to their promise.
they start small and on the inside - reduce the abuse on the cadets to 'maximize efficiency’, make life better for the ones in the bottom of the chain of command - that wins their loyalty, catra and adora as feared they are they are the generals that their troops would die for /them/, not hordak nor the horde, for adora and catra. they go bigger - send info to the rebellion to evacute the max of civilians before a attack to minimize the blow and the casualities through scouts that sometimes get caught but always take the blame and the sentence for themselves (adora mourns their lost soldiers for days, shes her mighty self out there to the eyes of shadow weaver and hordak but at night she cries as catra holds her and whispers promises of vengeance) - they keep the games tide for the horde but never let it tip to let it him, but they cant keep it forever - they can let just enough info leak before suspicion arise so when its time to put a end in this war they decide its now or never
hordak calls his generals, delivers his victory speech and asks for adora and catra to stay so he can talk with them - he praises them (he knows how praises makes a soldier fight harder) they thank him, catra leaves, adora stays and thanks him in particular for his teaching and command, he is taken back but glad and then as soon he turns his back to adora she drives a blade though his back - hes conscious long enough to hear the alarms ring and the rebels screams in the halls outside - catra went to liberate all the princesses that are now tearing his base apart
before the final battle, for weeks adora and catra meet with glimmer in secret to debate a deal where soldiers and minors command officers would get pardon from the rebelion once hordak fell - big bad officers would get death sentence - glimmer bitterly agrees and catra makes her swear on it or else she would get the same end as hordak - she agrees and thats the say adora needed
hordak dies, the horde falls and catra and adora as big commanding officers would get death sentence, but due their actions the rebellion agrees only in life in prison, but - as soon its over, they are gone.
adora wins the war without needing the sword of protection, she only needed catra by her side.

I’m sorry but tinder and bumble? What is the POINT
Don’t get me wrong, I love all the people I’m matching with and nobody’s talking to me when we do match - and I get it, they could’ve deleted the app or have anxiety or something - but honestly?
nO clue why I’m still even trying
I gotta stop........
