3 components of worldbuilding:

1. The author’s kinks

2. The author’s power fantasy

3. The author’s political agenda

Plot and logic optional

I find cool the idea of Glimmer and Bow teaching Adora and Catra about dealing with feelings because in the Horde they were just in that terrible situation with an abusive tutor and never learned about dealing with feelings by themselves, only with the negative ones in a negative way. And Glimmer be like «I have this book about how not to deal with love» and giving Twilight to She-Ra xD

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades

but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"

so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.

“its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.

Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.

Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)

You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.

 I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.

If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.

Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good

Light Hope - Permanently Delete

Anyone else notice how Light Hope never brought up activating the Black Garnet to Adora, and instead remained focused on combat training? Something that was, at best, extremely incidental to her programming's goals?

Like, in Season 1 you can argue there's an element of placating Adora - that Light Hope is training her because otherwise Adora was just going to tantrum and leave - but by Season 4?

By Protocol, Adora is bored and frustrated, and is actively seeking the First Ones' secret weapon.

And yet Light Hope remains vague about 'balancing Etheria', implying that more She-Ra training is needed to achieve that goal.

Except, y'know, it isn't.

=======

Adora getting better at fighting isn't going to activate the Black Garnet, the one piece of the Heart that's actually missing.

Once all the channels are open, it doesn't matter what state the Horde or the Rebellion are in, and Adora's competence (or, indeed, her concious compliance) is entirely irrelevant.

So why didn't Light Hope push Adora to capture the Garnet?

And why did she use Glimmer to that end? What changed?

Well.

========

Of all the characters in this show, Light Hope is the one most explicitly bound by Fate. For all that she is more than what she was made to be, she is unable to abandon the Castle and the Heart, or stop searching for a new She-Ra. She cannot so flagrantly deny her programming.

But she could frustrate and circumvent it, driven by a secret memory of warmth.

She could slow walk her search for the next She-Ra, modifying the parameters to ensure the most unsuitable candidate possible.

She could 'accidentally' place them somewhere where she might never be able to reach them.

She could waste time on pointless trivialities and parlour tricks, things that are ultimately irrelevant to the Heart's true purpose.

And, of course, she could mis-order the steps, requiring the planet to be 'balanced' before revealing how that could be done.

=====

Light Hope's distant, high-handed, frustrating bullshit is not malice, or an expression of her intrinsically inhuman nature - it is a form of protection.

Her attempts at creating a new She-Ra are ineffective, not because she is incompetent, but because in her deepest, most secret of hearts, she does not want to succeed.

Until, of course, that resistance is discovered - and crushed.

=====

[But not completely, not forever - because in the end there is always, always a choice]
