Momaport and I watched more She-Ra. We have now watched up through Princess Prom.
Some highlights and lowlights (because she didn't like these episodes as much as the last ones we watched)...
"Catra puts on a cocky attitude but she's just a scared kid." So true.
"Why does Castaspella have Goofy ears?" Truly a thing I ask myself constantly.
She has become a walking cliche because she can never remember Glimmer's name and calls her something different every time. She spent her entire discussion of Princess Prom calling her "Crystal" which pains me deeply.
She also keeps forgetting Mermista and calls her "fish one" which is just really funny.
Because of her complete inability to remember anyone's name ever, the whole Light Spinner is Shadow Weaver reveal was a legitimate plot twist to her which amused me.
She is a Glimbow truther, was on ship team day one even without my influence despite not liking Glimmer and not knowing what "shipping" meant, mostly because she loves Bow. I was given a passionate speech about how obvious it was that Glimmer and Bow love each other and only you, Tumblr, can appreciate the irony of someone else giving ME that speech and not the other way around. I mentioned that a lot of people claim they "came out of nowhere" and she was absolutely indignant and refused to believe that was a thing.
Relatedly, she doesn't believe Bow had a crush on Sea Hawk, she said he was "just fangirling." (She knows he's bi, that's just her read on that episode.)
Long impassioned speech about what a horrific childhood Catra and Adora had and how it's no wonder Adora is a stressed disaster.
She started talking about Princess Prom totally on Bow's side and mad at Glimmer and by the end of her speech somehow talked herself onto Glimmer's (oh, excuse me "Crystal's") side and was annoyed at Bow which was just funny to witness happen in real time.
"Entrapta reminds me of that one character... you know? The science lady? With the glasses?" I never found out what she meant by this. For all I know it means Entrapta reminds my mom of Entrapta.
"I don't understand why people these days are so obsessed with shipping, Why can't you just watch the show and enjoy the nice friendships?" (Mom is judging us)
She likes Catra and Adora a lot individually, but there is some naysaying about them becoming a couple, we'll see if she comes around. (She has never watched before, but knows most of the endgame ships just bc of hearing the kids and I talk about it.)
She's mad at me for showing it to her grandkids, because it's too violent and she doesn't approve. (I've been cancelled.)
*me explaining that Entrapta is autistic and people read Adora as ADHD*
"Does everyone have to be something these days?"
(alas, mom is still a cranky old person who wants us to get off her lawn but honestly she's far less cantankerous than I thought she might be about this show so I'll let it slide)
After Princess Prom, she said, "It's cute but I don't understand why you're all so obsessed with it. To me it's exactly like every other cartoon I've ever watched." which is an ARROW directly to my HEART but we'll see if she comes around once the plot really gets going. She generally doesn't like animation and is a straight boomer lady so I figured we'd have an uphill climb but STILL. Pain. We're going to keep watching it either way though because she said she likes hanging out with me and we're having fun. (I am a delight)

O'ravi with her mother and sisters! (Technically half-sisters, but I don't think Sunseekers care to make that distinction.)
Back row, left to right: Xolne, Feerkima, Tahja
Front row: Vaulsi, Ravi, Zarha (Ravi's mom!), Dyalani
Xolne and Vaulsi are full sisters, as are Feerkima and Tahja. Ravi and Dyalani are their mothers' only daughters.
Lore fun facts and extra shot under the cut!
O'vaulsi is a huntress, treasure hunter, and adventurer in her own right, and she sometimes joins O'ravi on her quests (such as the Mhach raids).....usually uninvited, but hey.
O'xolne is something of a big game hunter, frequently does clan hunts, and she was also one of the first of the tribe to make the move from the Sagolii to Dravania during Shadowbringers.
Feerkima is a very bubbly energetic person, and a huge social butterfly. She teases O'ravi for her crush on Aymeric, teases Aymeric for his crush on O'ravi, and is generally mischievous. She spends most of her time teaching O tribe children various life skills such as reading, lighting and tending fires, skinning animals, and maintaining weapons.
Tahja is studying red magic, though she also does alchemy and weaving.
Zarha is one of the tribe's premier weavers. She is famously calm and levelheaded in every situation, which balances out her husband O'lirhu Nunh's impulsive tendencies.
Dyalani is a seamstress and jeweler, and the orphaned daughter of the nunh's brother. (Her dad was a tia and idk when or why he died, but I'm thinking it was a hunt gone wrong. Not sure what happened to her mom.)

If you could relive any memory of your past, what would it be?
great question! it’s hard for me to say. past a certain point, my memory just starts getting… vague. i remember that important events happened, and i remember how i felt, but i don’t remember the physical experience of having been going through them.
i think i’d like to just relive a normal day at elementary school. i remember the words people used to describe me when i was that age, but i don’t remember what it felt like to BE me at that age very well. i know i was able to hold conversations with my mom’s scientist coworkers (which they were all impressed by), i know i was frustrated when, in the bathroom, girls who knew my twin brother would walk up to me and go “oh! are you [name]’s sister?” because i was referred to as his sister more often than my own name after a certain point (just what happens when your class is the same group of kids for 4 years ig). i know i was sensitive, and prone to tears. but i don’t remember what it felt like to just. go to class. and do my homework. and Exist. yanno?
i think being able to remember what it felt like to just be 8 years old and going about my 8 year old day would give me a lot of insight into why i am who i am now. i want to remember the little girl that i was better
