Image dump of cute images of the She-Ra Princesses of Power cast and crew that I stole from Twitter because I'm worried we'll lose them otherwise.

She-Ra Crew Art Wiki Page

So I've never been a fan of the She-Ra wiki but here's something cool I just found. A rare She-Ra Wiki W if you will.

IT'S A PAGE CONTAINING ALL THE ART THE CREW OF THE SHOW PUT OUT THERE

Not sure if it has everything, but it's cool that someone made a page for all this. Hope this helps you out!

I just finished a slew of fanfictions to be released later.   Anyway, while I was working on them, I came across this Youtube analysis of J.K. Rowling that I was watching / listening to of all things.  I was never much into Harry Potter.  I saw the movies like most people in this wide world, but I never read the books.  It just wasn’t something I ever got into.  It was tailored to a younger crowd than I was at the time, it was a bit overhyped, etc. Or maybe I just have an aversion to most things that take place in a school-heavy environment because I am still traumatized from being the Weird Kid.  Whatever. I still find myself interested in media analysis of the work in regards to the fall of the author in the public eye, how she went from progressive icon to cancelled.   The guy doing the media analysis was a cis gay man who was a big fan and spoke of how it helped him form his identity as a kid, even helped him in his journey to come out, and while he is not trans, he knew trans people who had a similar journey, and therefore everything going on with Rowling feels like a betrayal.  I’ve personally wondered “was this always even there with her, beneath the surface?  Or are her Terfy-views entirely new?  After all, people do change, their worldviews included, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.  I mean, the me of 15-20 years ago was an obnoxious evangelical and a lot of my current views couldn’t be more different. I went from conservative --> progressive, utterly sincerely and I think that the opposite can happen, too, people being sincere progressive ---> conservative, because we’re all a bunch of humans and no one and nothing is completely “pure.” Maybe the person who wrote those books really was a completely different person than the one who exists now, holding the authorship rights.   Anyway, since this is a She-Ra fan blog... getting to the point.  Watching this media analysis made me think about how I feel like I have an advantage in certain fandoms I choose to be in, and what seems to choose me.   Harry Potter fans, by and large, seem to have the inability to divorce the story from the author.  This is a fundamental part of how the story is set up.  The books have a single origin-point, this specific author. Films and games and other media are a group-effort, but they all center back to the origin-point of a single author.  The story is inexorably tied to one person, so anyone who is in fandom for it - even if they’re making their own art and stories from it, have to process the fundamental truth of a single origin-point of the thing they’re doing their own derivatives of.   The analysis I watched made no judgement on how people process their grief, as it were.  The host said that he’ll spend no more money on the franchise, but that he’s not giving up his enjoyment of what he once loved and already has.  He knows others the same way - people who refuse to let even the author herself take the good thing they enjoyed away from them. Some, of course, choose not to engage.   I spared a brief thought to “What if someone on the She-Ra crew did something that I thought was really awful?”   And that’s when I realized some of them have.  Not J.K. Rowling levels - obviously, the entire show is incompatible with that.  There are actual trans characters, gay characters, racially diverse characters, disabled characters - they can’t do much that’s really anti-progressive.  But... a few of the creators have said things that I know some of the fans have found off-color... I remember a fiasco when one of the voice actors on Twitter made a joke about Entrapta working for Trump because she’d want to be in the Space Force and she just got reamed by the fans over that.  (She seemed to have forgotten that Entrapta is not white, for one thing).  Then there was the debacle where a joke was made about Bow’s family in the writer’s room that came out in an interview that seemed to me like it was “innocent, but tone-deaf” - like it wasn’t meant as awful, it just “You weren’t thinking, were you?”   In-series, on-screen, the “Let’s leash Entrapta, the confirmed character with autism” joke was...um...it was a thing.  And yet, I’m here, in a fandom, doing fanwork, unbothered by it for the most part because... I think it’s because Spop isn’t tied to a single vision.  It was a group-effort with many writers, a director that conferred with the writers, character designers and story-boarders who eventually got their storyboard running gags into the series (I heard that Rogelio x Kyle wasn’t originally going to be a thing until it became a story-board crew’s running thing).  The writers, artists, voice actors, etc. all had different takes on what they were doing, and to boot, the whole thing was a derivative-property to begin with, a reboot-adaptation of something that existed before some of them were even born.  (I think a lot of the Crew-Ra are younger than my nostalgic and modern-animation loving ass).   Enjoying this property isn’t as much intrinsically tied for me into any single-point origin.  Some people treat it as “N.D.’s vision,” but I divorce it a little from even him, because he didn’t handle all of the story aspects.  (In particular, I’ve heard that he wasn’t much interested in dealing with Hordak, so much of Hordak’s arc was handled by others).  My “side” of the fandom has taken this football and run because we know that the “main creator” wasn’t really the “parent” to our blorbos, that Entrapta and Hordak were largely handled by others on the crew.  So, you know, there’s just not this worshipful “my creator must do no wrong” thing for me at all.  It’s almost like Death of the Author is particularly strong with this property.  I am very much an advocate for Authorial Rights - like, if an author says “my work means this” that fans should listen.  I mostly am into this because I do original work, myself - not that I’m ever going to become well-known, and I just...really, really don’t want far-right bozos pretending my work means something it doesn’t and adopting it as their own, which happens to way too many authors.  (That poor guy who made the frog cartoon even tried to kill the frog off in story, but people still did their own thing with the image and I just feel sorry for the guy).  At the same time, I do believe in a degree of Death of the Author, because, obviously, I write fanfiction and create my own stories, and sometimes my own stories are really off-the-wall of the canon, and purposefully so.   A couple of my upcoming collection stories have... “Ugh, I know that this plotline is so out of character for Etheria, I honestly don’t think it would happen if canon continued beyond a certain point, but I need to include it to make MY plot work!”    I guess I just want to say that I have an easy time of this in fandom because I seem to become most enamored with fandoms that really are “group effort” and are generally cooperate / collective-owned from the get-go with no One Shining Idol-Person to put on a pedestal.  Zelda is a big fandom for me, too, and it’s like that.  In fact that property has some Ship of Theseus shit going on with changing crew working on it over the 30+ years the games have been a thing.   I just wonder if it’s easier to “divorce creator from fandom so you can ignore problematic creator-bullshit” is just easier to do if you know that the base canon has tons of fingerprints from lots of different creators on it.

how do people still call c//a a tragic shakespearean romance when s5 entrapdak exists?

#lord that “what have you done to me” STILL gets me #it's so corny but also so so heartwrenching #the way entrapta changed him for the better helped him find his own path and identity #made him believe that he was beautiful no matter what his abuser said #catra could never #i'll never forgive crew-ra for the way they prioritized c//a over entrapdak #spop #she ra #entrapta #hordak #spop hordak #spop entrapta #entrapdak #entrapta x hordak #💜💙

there's something about the wit being a gay allegory and having Fitz and Nighteyes both fear that once Fitz gets with Molly (dream happy ever after girl I don't truly love but carries my fantasies of a happy life and nuclear family) she'll force them to break apart and comply to a bond-less life

(for the record, I don't think Molly would care. It's the imagined fear from Fitz I think is interesting)

#from RA it's being established that Molly and Fitz are a known comfort to each other #but not really love because Molly deserves better and they fight as much as they make out #Molly's presence in his mind during AQ is very “the version of me that lives in you is kind to you right bro?” and for Fitz the answer is n #fitz projects his insecurities onto her and distances himself out of fear of them being confirmed #he could stand up to Starling and the entire mountain crew and explain the Wit - and then bonded with them so much more #there's something about both Molly and Fitz wanting to protect their childhood memories of each other that makes them lie to themselves #rote

feel like pure shit, just want her back

#james talks #riverdale #miss the whole crew really but Betty especially bc Lili was so magnificent #god as perfect as the finale was (and it really was one of the greatest finales ever) i wish we had gotten another season #they had as good a run as a show on that network could hope for but there are few shows on there that eclipsed the network like Riverdale #like the list includes like. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Gossip Girl. and ig The Vampire Diaries. and that's it. #(that list is for shows almost exclusively produced by the CW. CXG DID have other producing companies but it was largely the CW). #no show will ever quite be like Riverdale ever again and no show will ever reach the heights it did. #especially not on their shoestring CW budget. #like honestly i just need more Riverdale in my life. #like RAS and the writing team found such a great way to turn their weaknesses into strengths. #as an article on the show once said [paraphrased]: it was a great show that was really good at pretending to be bad. #even now nobody gets the show like i do. #everyone thinks it's some silly little show about crazy shit with crazy plotlines and pretty lighting and aesthetics but no substance— #when in reality it's an incredible pulpy anti-fascist text questioning the role of authority using those aesthetics for a larger purpose #but i'll save the real analysis for whenever i get around to actually making the Riverdale video essay i need in my life #unless Quinton Reviews or SuperEyepatchWolf beat me to it first. they're the only people who i think will actually understand the show. #like SuperEyepatchWolf's video on the show is already pretty fun even if it's a little dismissive of the substance of the show— #(tbf to him it only covered up until the S05 mid-season finale and S06 hadn't released yet) #but like he at least feels like he gets the spirit of the show. especially with the wrestling comparison. #and i hope i don't need to explain why Quinton would get it. #anyway. i need the Riverdale crew back.

i will never forget nor forgive grown people in the crew-ra making fun of kyle, who's a literal teenager. he may be fictional but it just feels unnecessarily cruel. considering this show is about friendship and acceptance, i will never understand who thought that bullying a harmless kid was a good idea.

but she’s a hero, you know. the strong kind, the hold-up-the-sky kind, the too-good-for-this-world kind. she’s a hero, and she doesn’t deserve this.  because she is kind, too-good-for-this-world kind, and i think that’s what makes her a hero. her heart is too big, and she carries it in her hands and i think it’s as heavy as the sky anyway and even if atlas was never a hero, she is.  and she’s a hero, and she doesn’t deserve this, but we all know how this story ends and even if you rip out the last page it doesn’t stop the story from ending.  she’s a hero, she is, and one day it’s going to kill her. because her heart is too big, and she carries it in her hands, and no one can hold up the sky forever.

the She-ra crew didn't have to give us a super long sequence of Scorpia's shoulder and arm muscles in the peekablue episode but they did...I hope their skin is clear to this day and ten years from now for that

#the episode was about her not just being the muscle but i was still looking at them and appreciating them #she-ra thank you for feeding the lesbians and the bisexuals #scorpia is sO-*implodes* #she ra and the princesses of power #shera #scorpia #i want to send the shera crew thank you notes for everything they did for 2020 me #thank you thank you thank you #shera had so many strong women i was enamored

A while back i saw a post saying how accidentally autistic-coded characters tend to be better rep than ones who are actually intended to be autistic(using Mob from Mp100 vs Sheldon C///ooper as examples)and ngl i feel that applies to trans rep regarding She Ra AKA Bow vs Double Trouble💀

#like bow works so excellently as a trans man-a gnc one to boot!-and it wasn't even on purpose while double trouble is a walking hate crime #crew-ra was wildin' when they wrote them #this is NOT an invite to talk shit about glimbow btw fuck outta here with that nastiness #bow spop #she ra #💌 #letters from summer
