#adora also has 2 dads

[kraviolis]

i told y’all. i told y’all i was gonna go crazy over this post made by @gummy-goat-galaxy​

full disclosure i drew literally all of this before looking into the details of the AU so this is 70% my interpretation of his original post but i need to explain my thought process so. here’s the post explaining the details of the actual AU!!! and below is what my brain made up on the spot

ok so belos finds tiny child luz and is like “fuck everyone. this is mine now” and treats her like a goddamn princess. to him, she is a Gift From God to remind him to stay on his Righteous Path. an innocent little girl who is just so bubbly and always tries to see the good in everything, including him. she is a reminder of how Pure and Good humanity is, and seeing as though she’s the literal only human he’s had any contact with besides caleb in 400 fucking years, he is never letting the demon realm corrupt her like it did to him.

she’s basically his Lamb and he the Shepherd, and because he’s so desperate to keep her “““pure”““ he strictly keeps her within the castle and even then not all of the castle is available to her. he keeps her contact with witches to an absolute bare minimum.

he entrusts her protection specifically to hunter, despite the fact he’s only 2 years older. his reasoning is “caleb did a pretty good job raising me so this’ll be fine probably.” when belos himself cannot keep an eye on her, it’s hunter’s job. luz and hunter end up being raised in a sorta similar situation to catra & adora from she-ra but they are actually siblings and not just best friends.

(if u havent seen she-ra, basically its their abusive caretaker creating a golden child + scapegoat dynamic, where one kid can do absolutely no wrong (which doesnt mean they cant still be abused/manipulated!!) while the other kid is blamed for literally everything that goes wrong. the caretaker also regularly pits them against each other to encourage competition & keep the all power in the caretaker’s hands.)

similar to catra & adora, the whole competition thing doesnt really work. luz is just too damn kind and too damn good for hunter to ever resent her, and she’s all he really has. because hunter is the scapegoat, he grows wise to belos’s manipulations WAY sooner. it’s easier to figure out when you’re being mistreated when you literally watch ur guardian treating ur sibling so much better than how they treat u.

unfortunately, because luz cannot help but see the good in absolutely everyone and can be empathetic to a fault, she doesnt realize belos’s game until she ends up sneaking out of the castle. she actually really loves belos and is thankful for him taking her in for a long time. she calls him uncle like hunter, despite belos nudging her towards seeing him as a father bcus he sees her as a pseudo-daughter. (but luz remembers her dad, and has no desire to replace him with someone else no matter how much she cares for belos)

belos does love & adore luz, he would do almost anything to keep her happy and “innocent” and “pure”, but not to the extent that he could still end up redeemed. he still manipulates & subtly emotionally abuses her to keep her in line, but it’s only when she sneaks out and meets eda the owl lady does she start getting clued into this. and once luz learns what belos has done to hunter it’s all fucking over.

hunter loves luz. she is his sister and always will be. but while he’s stuck to belos because of his duties as golden guard, she sees how green the grass is on the other side and doesn’t even hesitate to hop over there. watching her slowly grow more and more distant while she keeps sneaking out to visit with her new friends (eda, king, willow, gus, amity, etc.) is one of the most painful things hunter has had to deal with.

he feels betrayed at first, as if luz is replacing him with other people who arent broken like he is, and when luz actually leaves for good- belos lies to the public and says she was kidnapped- hunter is the one who leads the hunt to find her and bring her back home safely. when they confront each other, luz tries to do her whole dramatic speech about how wrong belos is and how he’s been lying their whole lives, but hunter already knows. the only reason he stayed was for luz, but she couldnt even stay from him? it fuckin hurts man.

they end up on opposite sides for a minute. hunter gains no satisfaction from trying to ruin this new life she’s found for herself but goddamnit, he has a job to do. he cant just defect. and then he defects after watching belos try to kill luz because she’s let herself become corrupted by the witches.

thats about all my brain got for this so far. TL;DR basically just listen to the “first time in forever” and “mother knows best reprise” and “broken crown” by mumford & sons and thats pretty much the gist of it.

#the owl house #hunter toh #hunter #luz noceda #the golden guard #emperor belos #philip wittebane #hunter noceda #toh #toh au #the owl house au #ahhhh i dont wanna use the tag for the original creator's au bcus my interpretation isnt technically her au. but i also dont wanna seem like #im stealing her au or something #but i want a dedicated tag for this au including expansions on my initial thoughts #wahhhh #mine #2023 #also she got no shoes bcus her vibe is sorta like. rose quartz/lapis lazuli from SU and neither of them wear shoes #well lapis does now but #you get it

So there is a lot of Saying of how Jim changed characters Such as Draal Strickler Angor and Nomura to name a few but not that much of how the character changed him (especially his friends and family ) outside of bein Supportive.

edit - there Amazing headcannos by @albentelisa and by a few more so maybe i would return on Something that people already Said

Also i am not a Writer i'm so not calming it's 100% (well Claire mabye hehe) jk.

Let's Start with the easiest and Probably the most loyal person to Jim and the first Person after Jim that was introduce was his BFF Toby. Toby Represent Jim mortality the fact that he Can be hurt and injured because toby very easily get hurt and injured because he only human and not in the best of shape but besides that he is able to Keep going Which is Why Jim kept going able to do things despite being only human.

(i am well aware that Jim was the one who push to toby to Keep going as well was the first but Jim a lot of the time felt a moment of weakness that he isn't good enough and toby Should him that isn't true it Kinda go visa versa)

another thing about toby is his happiness and he have a Positive out Look of things toby and Jim become friends a short time after his father Left Which is Why Jim able to Keep going as much as he did because toby was always being besides him.

that's Also Why the rott movie was bad because it tainted that idea.

but isn't canon still hunts me a lot of the time.

overall Jim became much more happy and Much less angsty that he Should've been without toby.

moving on to Jim's Crash and Jim's Soulmate the Lovely but dorky Claire.

Claire represent Jim's fear especially the ones who relate to Losing his Loved ones and become evil Plus Lacking in Self belief.

thanks to Claire Jim able or have much easier time overcoming his insecurities his Lack of believing in self to do Something risky Such as the final Push in the bathtub Scene (Part of it obviously is the fact that Claire herself is a bit of a Dork lol).

the thing that Claire gave to Jim was her Love and acceptance that she trust him and he totally deserve the Love and care that Claire give him. as he doesn't need to be fear that he always feel accepted with her.

She is also extremely Smart So she can her only Second to Blinky so she help Jim with things that aren't trollhunting related and Very Powerful So She can Protect Jim when ever he need a hand.

Claire is Jim greatest Love and i think that Jim feel a lot more confidence and accepted because of her.

even tho Jim Claimed that he doesn't care about his father but he def need one and Blinky was the Answer. i believe that Blinky Represent Jim desire for family and being a Leader because both of them becomes Leaders Jim become a Leader at part 1 of Season 1 and Blinky at the end of Season 2 after the Death of Vendel both were hurt by a close family relative Jim by his father leaving him and his mother as a little kid. and Blinky by his brother Joining the Side of gunmmar both able to make their own family Jim found toby as best friend and brother then Blinky became his troll Dad and ARRRGHHH his troll brother. Blinky befriend ARRRGHHH and Adopt Jim as his son.

Blinky made Jim the best trollhunter change him and give Jim a Parent figure that's all the Most wholesome.

Jim need a father figure to guide him in trollhunting world and Also being a father in general. Plus Someone to share his Knowledge with.

so Overall Jim need a guidance of mentor and a father and Blinky answer that call

ARRRGHHH is everyone favorite wingman i do think AREGGGGG represent Jim entering a role that can be very well take your whole childhood away. both were enter the role of a Warrior in a young age i believe that ARRRGHHH form @albentelisa worlds he understand Jim as a role of trollhunter the Most and Probably Jim has much better time dealing with being a trollhunter thank to ARRRGHHH

Also his big heart and Adorable Personality help Jim have much better time entering a Strange world of the trolls well and Blinky and Draal Obviously.

Draal is Jim troll brother one of my favorite relationships in the Series

Draal represent Jim defined by his father both were defined by their fathers until they able to break it Jim but overprotecting his mom and have carry all the responsibilities in the house and Draal by following his Dad's Job of being a trollhunter which is Why is He was a rival to Jim at first

Fun fact - i thought that Draal would be an Antagonist for Jim after he defeated him but i glad that he didn't became one and instead became an ally.

Draal was a role model for Jim because Jim understood honor of a Warrior and Also build confidence in Battle as well. Draal was Protector so much that Jim carried his wish and Kill gunmmar by his name and his death consider to be the best one in the Series.

Draal was able to Change Jim make him better as a Person i feel lIke because of Draal i believe that Jim is even honor then he used to before (he had a lot of honor before that but still) better Adjust to the troll world because he had a troll for a brother.

@pinkytoothlesso11 and @rexnanorum @yavannah  @seekerofblades idon't know about the following two these following ones your expert not mine so i feel free to add up if i miss Something.

Barbara is Jim's mom and i think she represent his heart Barbara is Super Compassionate and have a Similar heart to Jim by being a Doctor and helping people both Jim and Barbara were hurt by Jim's father when he let the both of them down.

the Desire to help people so no one will be left out is Something that they both share Jim by being a trolhunter and Barbara being a Doctor.

Jim Learnt form Barbara that he doesn't need to be afraid to share the burden that you carry with your Loved ones. and that lies not matter what the intention behind it can and will damage your relationship with your Loved ones like what happen with them in Season 1.

Thanks to Barbara Jim become more honest Person who will have better time sharing his burden with his Loved ones and put his trust in them.

now to everyone favorite avocado troll nerd dad Mister Strickler. Strickler is one of the few relationships that is more antagonistic cuz Jim and Strickler butt heads a lot in trollhuntes in Season 1.

i feel Like what Strickler represent in Jim is the Desire to be Loved and accepted Sure Jim have toby and Barbara but he bullied and for the first part of trollhunters by the trolls because he was a human and Strickler by being a Changeling both however fortunately get the acceptance and Love Jim by Killing Bular and getting together with Claire and Building a family with Blinky ARRRGHHH and Draal

and While Strickler by getting together with Barbara and creating a family with Jim.

Strickler give further Knowledge about troll history and Changeling history to Jim teach him Combat Moves that Blinky won't teach because they cross his Limit.

Also i feel Like the Credit goes to @pinkytoothlesso11 i feel Like when Jim has a half troll Strickler is one who can understand him the most.

Which is Why at the end thanks to Lovely nerdy Strickler Jim is much easier time handling and Seeking things that others might won't understand.

“By the Sea (Drown Me Already)” Fic Notes

By the Sea is done! It took a longer than I was expecting with everything that happened in my life, but it’s also longer than I was originally intending so that's to be expected lol.

Playlist:

This AU was purely vibes for a while, and thus the playlist was mostly vibe-based at first, but a few of these are very good fits.

GOOD GIRL ERA (SIDE A) — UPSAHL. FBL (SIDE B) — UPSAHL. WEEKEND — Betty Who. Silk Chiffon — MUNA (feat. Phoebe Bridgers) Bed — Niko Rubio. Love Seasons — Nina Nesbitt. Yellow — XANA. bad idea right? — Olivia Rodrigo. Casual — Chappell Roan. HOT TO GO! — Chappell Roan. Shy — K.Flay. Naked In Manhatten — Chappell Roan. Borderline — Sigrid. Minute — Kim Petras.

Epilogue Life:

I did more of a traditional epilogue than I usually do, so there’s not too much to say here, but they date working through their issues for six months before Catra officially moves in with Adora and not long after Scorpia, Entrapta, and Perfuma move in together. Catra does stay at the marina for a lot longer than she ever thought she would before eventually getting too fed up with the waves and getting an opportunity to work for one of the resorts instead.

Chapter 1:

⦁ This AU is heavily based on an area I used to visit as a kid, which sucked so much you can bet there was not a single resort there, but it was the basis of my beach experiences, so it inspired certain parts of this set up. I wanted to do a resort-type AU, but there are also some moral issues when it comes to resorts so I focused on the general vacation town angle.

⦁ I made a lot of jokes about not knowing jackshit about what I was writing, which is partially true, but I actually have Some experience related to the water parts of this fic, it’s just rather removed, and I don’t know the first thing about diving. I haven’t even been to a beach in seven years, but I dated a girl with a boat once and I leaned heavily on that experience lmao.

⦁ “Hot surfer chicks coming to the marina might make it a bit more bearable.” Catra, honey, you have Got to stop jinxing yourself.

⦁ Entrapta was right about Perfuma being anxious. She has so much experience trying to decipher emotions that are easily evident to others and picked up on the body language.

⦁ My POV for fics is always somewhat reactionary. If I do a fic that is primarily from one perspective (Adora POV in Roses & Thorns) it’s almost inevitable that the next fic (Catra POV in By The Sea) will swing the other way to balance it out. That’s not planned at all, it just happens a lot. My brain misses whatever girl it got to spend less time with lol.

Chapter 2:

⦁ Mermista’s dad owned the marina for several decades before he sold it to Netossa when he retired because Mermista wasn’t interested in running it and also in middle school. They get a free boat spot for life.

⦁ I mentioned this in a comment but couldn’t expand on it at the time: Adora and Catra’s relationship is very inspired by the setting. It’s a surprise reunion in an unexpected place, which works well with the vacation town vibes, but they’re both also worried about losing it, which matches with the transience of such a place.

Chapter 3:

⦁ Adora’s small talk was actually really important stuff for diving, that just didn’t have any relevance to the rest of the office, nor did Frosta care, and to Catra it just sounded like weather small talk.

Chapter 4:

⦁ Catra kept up most of their photos from high school. There’s one or two she had said something too glowing about Adora in the caption and thus deleted in a fit of spitefulness, but for the most part she couldn’t stand to lose them. Except that one. That one hurt so much every time she read it because it just seemed like lies, and when she was feeling generous enough to not view it was that, it was the ramblings of a best friend who only felt friendly. It was either lies, a goodbye, or a consolation prize to being “friendzoned.” She wiped it from her account and then quickly regretted it.

⦁ On Adora’s part, you can guess, but she wiped her social media in a low fit after her shoulder. The last thing she had posted was a photo taken by the training pool, gushing about how excited she was for the scouting. It hurt too much. Every photo from college did, and every photo from high school had for a while, but those were at least good memories. Now everything from college was tinged with regret and failure. She saved a lot of the old photos — mostly from high school — and even screenshotted some captions or comments — Catra-related, or even left by Catra herself — and then stuck all of that on her harddrive and pretended none of it existed. After she found a life again, she found herself occasionally going back to look at those high school photos, but she rarely revisited the few she saved from college. It took her months to feel like she could post again. It wasn’t until the next summer, when she hoped enough of her college friends had moved on or forgotten either her or what happened, that she felt comfortable doing it, and when she did she went public on her account, trying to open back up her life. Being public also felt like it gave her a layer of separation from those old high school/college followers even if all it really did was add more strangers to the pool.

⦁ I went back and forth on how to describe the age of the account and the timing of the incident, because they’re kind of halfway. Adora’s shoulder got injured at the end of sophomore year, and her social media existence started many months later, after healing time, so her account got remade roughly two-two and a half years ago and she got injured around three.

⦁ The post of Adora getting fancy dinner after the surfboard post was because her friends saw her anxiety and her overworking herself to get the money to get it fixed and knew she would never let them just pay for the repairs, so they took her to dinner instead and didn’t let her pay for the check. She needed a good time with her friends, and the free meal couldn’t hurt.

⦁ The line about crutches in Adora’s caption is actually something I said to my friend once when they were feeling ashamed of their aid. When you need them, you need them, and something being a “crutch” doesn’t mean it’s bad or unnecessary.

⦁ Adora’s injury was her “breaking the sword” moment in this universe.

⦁ It got cut because it was awkwardly shoehorned in the dinner conversation, but Adora’s Serenia bio says she has four years of experience because she actually tried diving while at college, but it was basically just some fun lessons she did that she never expected to go beyond that. It’s part of why Mara took her under her wing so hard, though. She recognized Adora’s trauma with water, but also how it was so tied to her identity and left her feeling like a shell after “failing” at swimming, so she found new ways for Adora to use those talents and find fun in them. And honestly she needed another hand with the town’s growth.

⦁ I’ll be honest: my knowledge of torn ligaments comes not from sports, but from my dog tearing her knee. I remember the vet told us some wild statistic like half of all dogs will have torn their other leg within a year of the first injury but we made all the lifestyle changes recommended while healing from surgery to mitigate risk factors and she never had any more problems! That was like six years ago now and she’s still super peppy. You’d have no idea she’s a senior dog with a knee surgery under her belt. Oh anyway that’s why I mention the injury lingering because yeah it can affect dogs at least so bad they fuck up their other leg the same way from compensation within months.

⦁ Adora talking about being happy in Bright Moon making her realize how much she missed Catra actually was a pretty big revelation for her. College was just hard the whole way through and Adora was distracting herself from her pain (emotional and physical when she overworked herself) by… overworking herself more. Taking a full load, spending too much energy at practice, working a part-time job after school, she had absolutely no room to breathe and honestly the only surprising thing is that it took her that long to get injured. She never had room to look up and see what was missing because she was explicitly avoiding doing that and pretty much everything was a pain point. Once she was healed and happy, the loss of Catra reared its head again and refused to be pushed aside, even if she was more prepared to process it. It was a lot less painful, but still present.

Chapter 5:

⦁ I think Bow 100% is the kind of guy who would enjoy being made into a sand castle but sand is so unpleasant in a lot of places and to get it out of your binder you’d have to take it off and then put it back on, which is kind of difficult on the go.

Chapter 6:

⦁ Okay so the “armor” from the title is Catra’s bravado combined with the emotional armor of making her wants and Adora’s lingering eyes all about desire instead of acknowledging the enormity of her feelings. Adora is doing a similar thing in her head, but she’s also trying to deny her desire too, so her head is a full on shitshow.

⦁ Originally the grocery store scene was going to be later in the fic when they were “Maybes” because I love the casual intimacy of grocery shopping together (romantically or platonically! It’s just fun), but I needed an Adora scene in this chapter to give a little more of a read on where she was at (denial) and the chapter was really short without it, so I decided to write it now.

⦁ I have actually seen a guy “rescue” a grocery store lobster and keep it as a pet for years on youtube. The transformation she went through under his care is insane.

⦁ Apparently cats and dogs aren’t really suppose to have nuts because it’s a big risk to them, but for the most part it has nothing to do with toxins and is just because they’re a choking hazard or at risk of being a blockage since cats and dogs don’t usually chew things up a lot. Anyway there are a few that are actual problems and that’s specifically raw cashews.

Chapter 7:

⦁ I actually wrote the scene with Mara talking about Adora surfing before chapter five, but it was too early in the fic for that and they needed to build more before something that important. The entire point of putting it early was Catra being surprised by how quickly Mara was willing to accept her and thus wondering what Adora had said about her in the past, but 1) it’s honestly still like that even being pushed back, and it’s more reasonable in that regard, 2) it was both too assuring and too insecure for the vibes I wanted.

⦁ Everything from chapter 8 was originally in chapter 7, but then all the swimming/hook up stuff got so long I had to separate them out, so CH7 ended up being mostly transition. I tell myself transitions are important when I just want to write angsty trash make outs lol.

Chapter 8:

⦁ The make out against the pool deck is like The Scene Lite™️ for this fic. It’s one of like two points I was building to early.

⦁ The original idea for the fic was that Adora would live in a house on Mara’s big property out of town, but when I went to write this scene Adora just said some stuff about living twenty-five minutes away and that got abandoned.

Chapter 9:

⦁ Honestly you can take your pick on whether Bow couldn’t arm wrestle Sea Hawk because it would make his arm too sore to drive or the losing penalty was taking shots. Both were ideas.

⦁ The closet scene is The Scene™️ for this fic. I think I wrote it before the first hookup scene in the first outline when things were more antagonistic (more on that later).

⦁ It’s so not relevant to the fic so I’m sticking it here, but Adora’s old swim coach was almost as bad as Weaver, but that actually worked out for her when it came to scouting. The swim coach wanted Adora to go pro for the glory to her team, and she knew Weaver wanted her to go to a local college, so when scouting started, the coach worked with Adora behind Weaver’s back to help her get seen and apply. This made it even easier to hide, and without it she probably would have needed Catra’s help to pull that off, thus assuring Catra actually knew about it and wasn’t totally blindsided. Adora’s coach actually helped her out and drove her to the airport for her flight out since Adora had a total blow-up with Weaver when she found out. It was something Adora needed, but it was still self-serving.

Chapter 10:

⦁ Their whole conversation here was supposed to be a quick joke and then it became the entire chapter somehow and that’s just the story of all my fics tbh. I really wanted it to be quick since I didn’t want people to think I was making light of IRL racial fetishes but I truly do think all of that would function very differently in any world with multiple species, especially the more diverse the species get and thus the less alike. It starts becoming increasingly harder for a human to be wired to find them attractive, and obviously the species in SPOP aren’t that different, but it’s a topic that always intrigued me in Mass Effect/sci-fi fic that there really is nothing like in our reality, so I was interested in at least brushing up against it and that’s how the joke happened. I’ve made some jokes about it before but they were always the quick jokes I meant for this one to be and obviously that didn’t end up happening here.

Chapter 11:

⦁ A lot of people clocked it but the musical song was Dead Girl Walking (not the reprise) from the Heathers musical (which is infinitely better than the movie, god, don’t watch that thing).

⦁ I went back and forth on if Catra would like the Ferris wheel, because on one hand, they have their secret place really high up and she doesn’t seem to be afraid of falling off the railing, but on the other hand, cats getting stuck in trees. Lol no but it is very different when you’re in something that feels as precarious as a dangling basket versus a solid building seemingly made from steel.

⦁ Okay so Bow’s whole thing here was actually written before I had the idea for Adora to ask Catra if she’s aromantic and I ended up turning this scene into that Seed Of Doubt instead of the single mention. It was another thing I meant to be a quick joke (well, Catra to be the joke where she managed to act unbothered so well — to Adora at least — that she screwed herself) but it ended up expanding into a full plot point. Also I should probably mention here I’m greyaro for the people who don’t follow me on Tumblr usually.

Chapter 12:

⦁ Let’s just say that Catra’s work day here is incredibly realistic.

⦁ I know I’ve mentioned this fic spiraling a few times, but the title “Surfboard at Midnight (I Just Might Swim)” was originally on… chapter 5. Okay, okay, it wasn’t that bad because I came up with the name before the chapter contents, but yeah, I was constantly kicking it back. The title belonged to chapter 5, and then 6, and then 8, and then like 10, and then 11, and 12, just constantly kicking it down the road as things leading up to the skinny dipping moment spiraled.

Chapter 13:

⦁ I originally said the POV for this fic was whoever because I wanted to leave the door open for having a scene from Scorfumtrapta’s perspective, but that was back when the fic didn’t have plot, and as the lesbians got increasingly dramatic, the focus on their relationship fell into the background. The main scene I was thinking of was what ended up being turned into the dinner scene. At the time, I just thought it was funny for Scorpia to realize months late that she was in a three-way relationship, but in the fic it turned into this thing about Catra feeling adrift and alone even with her friends, which wouldn’t have come through if I had used Scorpia’s perspective or something.

⦁ This chapter has a Secret Theme. So sometimes — quite often — I’ll write scenes in my head for a fic that I know have no place in it. Maybe it conflicts with the overall tone (in the fic, or just that portion of it) that I’m going for, sometimes it doesn’t super make sense, etc. Some of these things end up repurposed or I do find a way to integrate them, and that’s what this entire chapter is. When I was outlining Catra turning up at Adora’s in the middle of night for sleep cuddles, I wasn’t actually planning to put it in the fic, but then it was really sweet and I realized  fit with the transition of their relationship, so it became an unofficial part of the outline before being promoted to part of the story.

⦁ I did say this entire chapter was from scenes that weren’t supposed to be used, though, so what about the boat scenes? Well, the boat scenes were originally outlined… for Roses & Thorns. Yes, okay, I know. Let me explain. That fic wasn’t supposed to be nearly as horny as this one, but when I was writing the very end of it I had this vision of a scene with the two of them messing around backstage (being vague to avoid spoilers if you haven’t read it). It included some of the dialogue that ended up in the make out scene on the boat, but I knew it wouldn’t fit with the rest of the fic to suddenly have them getting hot and heavy on screen, so I just kind of saved the dialogue with the plan to implement it somewhere else down the line. As I was outlining this fic I had the idea for them to hook up in the storage room at the docks at one point, but I ended up moving it to the boat because that would have necessitated luring Netossa away first if they wanted to get away with it, which was less likely after the summer rush faded.

⦁ So I don’t know how all phones work but on iPhone you can set certain people to break through Do Not Disturb and Adora put Catra on that list because sometimes they would text past when hers activated for the night.

Chapter 14:

⦁ Kinds of chocolate according to Catra: White Dark Super Dark Baking Semi-sweet Sweet Milk Orange (wildcard)

⦁ The “there’s other ways to get these endorphins” thing really goes to show how little Adora understands what Catra is doing. Those kisses are “I love you”s and bids for assurance that Adora just isn’t getting and thus isn’t giving back because she’s so focused on not taking advantage of Catra and the such.

⦁ I’ll be honest I tried to get them together here and it didn’t work. Catra reacted too strongly, too fast. When I first outlined this scene I was thinking about another possible get together (that didn’t end up happening) and wondered how I would even get out of this scene without them getting together and then when it came time and the plan had changed I couldn’t MAKE them talk.

Chapter 15:

⦁ Samantha is dressed like a butch prince and I think that’s great. Also I pulled the name Samantha out of my ass because I didn’t feel like coming up with a reference like a week ago- psyche nevermind the song it's from literally just came on shuffle as I was posting this so it's actually from a Leah Kate song and I just forgot why I picked it.

⦁ This chapter easily could/should be split into two, but I like the flow of it all being together.

Original Outline:

So, this AU didn’t have an outline. It was pure vibes when I started it, with plot just taking vague shape in the back of my mind as I wrote. Pretty quickly I had a few big scenes — the make out at the pool, the closet scene — but I was building the rails as I drove at first. As such, I kept having ideas that pushed the few ideas I started with further out in a spiral.

When this AU was extremely nebulous, there were some different ideas for the concept where maybe Catra worked for the resort so she and Adora were closer to being coworkers, and then others where they all worked totally unrelated jobs on the pier but were hooking up in the “offices” when others weren’t looking, which is closer to what the final thing became, but these were all fleeting ideas before I really started writing. Originally the AU featured more antagonism between them at first too, with Catra denying even being her friend at first, but again, things just happened as I wrote and that didn’t materialize at all.

There was a draft with a very different final chapter/get together, but I honestly might use it in another AU where it fits a lot better (there’s a reason it was kicked) so I don’t want to say what it was lmao. Aside from that, this AU was something I wrote as the ideas came to me, which is fun to do sometimes.

Upcoming:

I’ve got a couple of one shots in the works and then we’ll see what AU takes me, but for now I’m playing around in canon universe (mostly).

Or am I gonna sit there in church vibrating in place for two hours knowing I have three minutes left on the episode or some bullshit lol

(That's longer than usual, yes. Easter Vigil is actually one of my fave services of the year--we start outside lighting candles (the ones inside have been out since Thursday night, even the one we otherwise never put out), then walk into the dark church, then sorta speedrun bits of the old testament (with a hymn after every reading) and then we decide OKAY IT'S EASTER NOW :D and turn on the lights and make a lot of noise and sing a few more hymns--we don't sing or say alleluia during Lent so all the hymns have that in it. There's often MASSIVE amounts of church incense, too. Anyway by the end it's a bit of a party. Apparently some churches have an actual party after the service.)(side note if you're new-ish to these posts that I'm Episcopalian, like, the priests at my church are a gay man and a woman, we're cool people mostly I promise)

See this is why these posts take forever. Why do I keep infodumping shit. This is what it's like to watch things with me in person, though.

If I get through this episode before Easter Vigil my reward is gonna be coming home and taking an edible and rewatching the last two episodes without screenshots so I can just cry over them.

oKAY

eh? that's new. like putting that on screen like that in dead silence. No intro sequence.

oh right Adora is injured. :( And it's some kind of magical monster thing that did it--a security thing put into the Crystal Castle by the First Ones

when she touches her wound the Failsafe glows, and it's making static-y noises and looking glitchy, that can't be good

the nasty tentacle monster thing is still there buT SO IS CATRA YAYYYY she shatters at least one of its eyeballs? I think?

my brain: this is like Caitlyn helping Vi after she got stabbed by Sevika, the wound is even in the same place :D me: wrong person has the red jacket on also Catra isn't going to buy some illegal potion thing to dose Adora with

(you should watch Arcane)

DOES SHE EVER SAY IT LIKE THAT BEFORE THIS?? oh god she sounds so breathless and relieved

Adora: "You can't be here! It's too dangerous"

And she stands up and starts to fall over and fucking Shadow Weaver helps her stand up, uGH

LOOK AT MY BB KICKING ASS

oh god so Shadow Weaver basically drags off Adora, Catra's like "I'll catch up, okay?" and Adora's like "no no Catraaaaa" her voice is cracking and everything, she doesn't want to do this without her and also worries about Catra and that tentacle monster thing

I'm not gonna screenshot it but poor Glimmer is fighting her dad, who is still chipped and Evil.

Bow is fighting Scorpia, also chipped and Evil. Oh hey Melog shows up and makes Bow invisible.

Micah is MEAN when chipped. He calls Glimmer a failure.

Glimmer: "My mother raised me to be brave. My friends taught me to be kind. And I'm stubborn. I get that from you. I will never stop fighting! And I won't lose another parent! I love you, dad."

She blasts him with enough magic that he collapses.

Bow, invisible, types away on Entrapta's computer she set up in the Horde thing, but when he gets it to start to do its thing he gets excited and says "I've got it!!" and Scorpia hears it and blasts him and is standing over him about to get him.

Bow: "Prime may have made you do a lot of things, but he can't turn you into something you're not. So, right now, all I need you to do is trust me."

Her eyes get normal for a second and she yells, and Bow slams a button on Entrapta's computer. There's a bright light.

Where Sea Hawk is holding Mermista, her chip goes dead and falls off. We get a lovely montage of other characters from all over Etheria, like Huntara and the folks at Elberon, who'd been chipped having their eyes go back to normal!

Scorpia: "oh my gosh I am so sorry!!"

yeah she's definitely back to normal lol

up on Horde Prime's ship:

lol

"My device worked! I knew it would!"

Bow: "Hey, everyone. I'm Bow."

(lol there's so much story in just this frame alone)

But yeah they show people from all over Etheria stopping to watch him speak, including his dads.

"Right now, we're the only thing standing in the way of him controlling it forever. You might be feeling hopeless. You might be thinking "We don't stand a chance." And maybe we don't. Prime's too strong. His army is too powerful. But that's not gonna stop us. We need to show Prime we're not afraid of him, because we have each other. And we have love. We can't give up. And if we go down, we go down together. We need you. All of you."

"It's time to fight. For She-Ra, for our homes, for each other!"

Broadcast over, back to Horde Prime. "Put an end to this mockery."

Catra injures the tentacle monster thing, but now that green is spreading into the room, and as Catra runs down the hall towards the Heart, she stops as Horde Prime shows up in hologram form

"I had such high hopes for you." like what, dude. keeping her around and chipped like a fucking puppet as an example? eugh. (something something about how her speeches to Adora while chipped were an obvious reference to people proselytizing high-control faiths)

the moment of distraction is enough for the tentacle monster to grab one of Catra's legs and she screams in pain D:

also there's still a bunch of earthquakes happening as these two limp towards the Heart

Poor Adora is just weakly going "No...no...wait" Shadow Weaver: "Don't lose your focus. We're so close."

What's this WE shit.

But also damn one thing Shadow Weaver and Horde Prime (and Light Hope!) have in common is they both believe love and affection and "attachments" are weaknesses. Shadow Weaver just cannot seem to get it through her head that Adora's love for Catra (and vice versa) is helpful here. Not a detriment. Love isn't a distraction!!! It gives us a stable ground of security and safety from which to do hard things!!

Meanwhile poor Angella told Adora "take care of each other."

This is pulsating, and so is the Failsafe on Adora's chest

OH NO oh god Okay being near that much hardcore magic is making Shadow Weaver powerful--her hair does the floaty thing for the first time since, what, s2? And she starts reaching for it, but THEN--

Adora yells Catra's name and starts walking back towards her, and Shadow Weaver's hair falls down again and she says the most weirdly desperate-sounding "Adora, wait!"

Prime's hologram is still torturing Catra along with the actual tentacle monster

(someone has drawn rule 34 of that thing but I'm not looking for it. I am content to know it exists.)

AND THEN THE MONSTER GETS BLASTED BY SHADOW WEAVER AHAHA NICE

about time she was useful amiright

okay so is this Shadow Weaver actually realizing she's been wrong about The Power of Love, or is this just her begrudgingly accepting that these two are Sold as A Set, Do Not Separate, and unless Catra's there Adora won't be able to use the Failsafe because she'll be looking for Catra the whole time???

Like is this an emotional epiphany or just pragmatism?

oh god so she magically shoves Catra away (towards Adora), but Catra runs back to Shadow Weaver

And y'all I know I talked about this a LOT way back in earlier seasons but I cannot tell you how accurate this keeps being in regards to dealing with an abusive parent. Like if you'd asked me, even after I cut off contact, if I wanted my dad to die, I would've said No! Of course not! At that point I didn't know whether the no-contact thing was temporary or not. I just knew I needed time and space to not be constantly stressed and anxious, for a notification on my phone to not immediately fill me with so much adrenaline my hands shook.

Anyway Shadow Weaver puts up a magical shield to keep Catra back

Shadow Weaver's response is amazingly calm and quiet. "Please, Catra. You need to make sure Adora reaches the Heart. The magic must be set free."

Her fight with Tentacle Monster isn't going well.

Catra's voice is heartbreaking here. "Stop it! It's going to kill you!"

"But you, this is only the beginning for you."

;_;

STICK THAT KNIFE IN AND TWIST IT! YEAH!

Catra's crying "no...no..." and a hand reaches out and grabs hers

LOL FINALLY HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT okay going to reblog

what a moment for it pfft

#april rewatches spop #heart pt 2

Stella Issues Part 2: Her potrayal as an abuser

Stella can be abusive even if it was done to make Stolitz look good but I have to question the portrayal of it.

Stolas acts like it took a lot of strength to stand up to her in one ep but in another he's catty as shit and can stay in the same room as her easily. It honestly feels like Stella went from an abuser to just the general shitty wife sitcom gag.

Also if Stolas gets physically assaulted constantly even if he is experiencing a high most abuse victims will NEVER go out of their way to purposely antagonize their abusers because of the threats of mental and physical violence building up for years especially if they are someone the victim cares about. Stolas seems to hate her so why does he stay? Octavia? Well we never fucking see how Octavia and Stella interact before this so we don't know how Octavia feels about her mom besides maybe favoring her dad. To give Octavia a normal life doesn't work writing wise because of that and especially because we never see what their general home life is like besides joke moments 90% of the time.

Also her motivation to hurt and kill Stolas is a fucking comedy. Its not because he's embarrassing the family publicly by sleeping with Blitzo or her being pissed Stolas cheated on her its because she hates Stolas. But why? Like abusers don't just pick victims because they enjoy tormenting people its either linked to a lot of other shit. Like is Stella choosing to do this because hurting Stolas gives her a sense of control and the imp incident means she's losing that control. Does Stolas remind her of someone in her life? Is she continuing the cycle of abuse? Like Vivziepop bullshits that the Helluva characters are so complex and she makes one of the main antagonist a 90s cartoon villain.

Like the She Ra reboot had a complex and layered abuser with Shadow Weaver and how her actions affected Catra and Adora for years on end. Shadow Weaver has only been after power and she treats Adora like a goddess because of sensing her power as a child but, she also controls and infantilizes Adora and tries to literally mind control her to "fix" her. Adora being the golden child has actually actively affected her psyche to the point where she is 10000% ready to sacrifice herself and die no questions asked and its portrayed as a bad thing and key to her arc.

Catra was treated like shit and actively had her life threatened by Shadow Weaver since she was fucking 6. Catra is attached to Adora because she's the only person nice to her and sees her as a key to her being safe because Adora could convince Shadow Weaver not to kill her. When Adora leaves Catra becomes obsessed and eventually starts to resent her because in her eyes Adora got the easy way out like always and abandoned her just like that for people she knew for a day. It also is related to Catra finally gaining power in the Horde A.k.a. power = safety and security. Then when Shadow Weaver manipulates her to escape we learn at least why Shadow Weaver treats Catra like garbage its because Shadow Weaver sees Catra like herself and Weaver had to struggle to get to where she got. Now she could be lying but it is an explanation we have. I will say the She Ra team fucked up immensely by making Catradora a couple because they are actually adopted siblings and even if they weren't the dynamic they have with SW is eerily similar to irl abusive famial dynamics.

Now Spousal and Famial Abuse are different but they still have a similiar skeleton so that's why i brought it up.

Anon, I think you would be interested in a post by @/hezuneutral

They explained why it didn't make sense for Stolas to stay in the abusive relationship and the bad writing.

My opinions on the abusive relationship is it isn't realistic to how a victim and abuser would act. Abusers are subtle with their manipulation so they don't alarm close friends and family. They abused the victim in private and tried to control every aspect of their life so they can't escape easily. Stella doesn't do both of those things, she publicly screams about how terrible Stolas is and doesn't tried to control him. Stolas on the other-hand is terrible victim rep. He doesn't act or think how a victim would to their abuser. He doesn't walk on eggshell around her and when Stella learned he slept with Blitzo, he is openly happy about it and rubs it in her face instead of being terrified or scared that he made her enraged and started screaming at him again. Stella's motivation doesn't help because it makes her look like a joke and water downs the severity of abusers.

Another reason why the abusive relationship doesn't work is Octavia. Stolas said one of the reasons why he stayed was for Octavia but from what we seen she is unhappy in this situation and watched her parents fight probably daily, she isn't even subtle with her feelings. If Stolas won't divorce Stella for himself then he would do it for Octavia because he wants her to be happy again. Also Octavia is shown to have a bias for Stolas, she goes to him for help, she wants to spend time with him, and she wants his attention. If Octavia was to chose in court which parent to live with, she would chose Stolas. Also the court would be in Stolas's favor too because he is the provider of the family.

1, 9, 16 for the ask game please also thank you for providing a safe space for antis!

It's no problem at all! happy to be here dude xoxo

1 ) Character everyone gets wrong?

*deep breath*

Almost. The. Entire. Main Cast.

But, perhaps most egregiously, Catra.

The reason why sister!c//a literally could not be taken out of the narrative is because if we don't accept that Catra and Adora are sharing Shadow Weaver as a mother figure, a HUGE chunk of Catra's arc very specifically is missing (or, more times than not, horribly misunderstood)!

Catra doesn't hate Adora because Adora is a better soldier. Catra doesn't care about that. She makes it extremely clear that she doesn't care about social status that first episode. She's not bitter and pissed about her commanding officer. She doesn't care about Hordak, so it's not really about approval from authority either.

She very clearly and obviously sees Shadow Weaver as her mother. She wants approval and acceptance and love from her mother. She is upset because her sister is the favorite child of her mother.

*exhales*

It's not a secret that I feel this way, but it felt nice to let that out into the air again...

9 ) Worst part of canon?

Uh, probably when Micah is introduced as this lame dad trying to get Glimmer's love.

And then... not much really coming from it. Why didn't he just stay dead. Why did we have to trade Angella for Micah. Why. I don't get it. To this day. 2/10 would not recommend swapping out parental figures. Especially since the narrative kind of seems like... it has nothing insightful to say about Micah in particular. He kinda starts to feel like DILF bait after a while. That might have been a compliment if I wasn't lesbian and he did a little bit more of that Father Figure thing people talk so much about. But, oh well.

16 ) You can't understand why so many people like this thing... (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)?

Okay, so, we're already in this far, so I'm just going to come out and say: I am actually a furry. IRL. Yeah. No, seriously. I am.

But Catra's? Not??? Fucking? Hot? I just don't see it. She's cute in a purely cat way. But hot???

I feel like people who crush on Catra are closeted furries (sometimes not) and this repression of their furriness kind of... fell on her??? Cause??? What????

But yeah, I'm sorta tired of the characterization that Catra is this ultra hot bad bitch,,, she,,, licks herself clean,,, it's just a little too animal for me. Not even furries really make their fursonas do shit like that. No, seriously. Seriously.

#*longest fucking sigh* outing myself as a furry again. but yeah. mariposa lore. youre welcome. #but anyway #asks / anons #salt ask games #and you know? to add onto the last part #it's not that i don't understand the appeal of catra #but acting like she's OBJECTIVELY hot??? that she's the LESBIAN ICON??? #that's the fucking part that gets me #ADORA IS RIGHT THERE #SHES LITERALLY RIGHT FUCKING THERE #cw: mariposa being more vulgar than usual #whoops! tag rant

[smokestarrules]

Ok, so I'm back. I was pretending to do this in order of appearance but... anyways. I try to number the ideas, so is easier for you to answer :)

1) I think that the part when Luz tells the collector that forgiveness and compassion is not for everyone and the very death of the goop, is just so poetic.

Like, I was just getting Mr wonderful vibes with that message, but then they managed to make the perfect exception of it that make the sentence acquire the full meaning of it.

2) And the death of belos... Incredible. But, do you remember when I also discussed with you that belos was possessing his own death body? I mean, that wasn't his dead body, but you also told me that his human form was just gone.

3) But right before he is stomped to death (I was mid laughing with that, I would have done the same HAHAHA) we see his human form again. AND NOT THE FORM OF "BELOS", BUT OF PHILIP. I mean, I need your explanation for this, for god sake hahaha.

4) I was also kinda disappointed that there weren't so much Lumity moments. I would have loved to see one scene when Amity went full a simp for Luz with her transformation, just as Catra did in one episode with Adora hahaha. But at least we know they will last a lot more as a couple.

5) I also expected another Caleb apparition and, maybe, an Evelyn's one too. But that's Okey, because as Belos was dying as a miserable goop, Luz was watching with the same face and disgust as Caleb ghost/apparition did in FtF. It was Luz but it also felt as it was Caleb. I loved that parallel.

6) Now with the titan itself. I think that the look when talking to Luz was not his real look? I've already read that the titan wanted Luz to be comfortable, so it decided to take that form. It is important, because at first I thought that Hooty was somehow related to the titan and that's why he was so weird.

7) I didn't get why the titan was in the space-in-between. Like, it was dead but also not dead? It was strange. Also because it caught Luz when she died. That means that the titan has the power to bring someone back to life?

8) Also, we get to see the full form of a titan, of the isles, and is really amazing. I assume that is the real form, besides the illusion it plays when talking to Luz.

9) Oh, and the thing the collector narrates at the beginning. Were they trapped in the in-between too? That means that king's dad and the collector were in the same space and could have met or encounter each other?

10) The sequence of the in-between was the most difficult for me to understand. Like, if Luz would have drowned completely in that liquid, that would have meant that she would have died for good? And why did king's dad say that if she "goes down without a portal, indeed she would look dead" (or sth similar, I can't remember well all)? I mean, in the "real world" she was already gone because she turned into a bunch of lights, how could she even look dead when she didn't have a body? Would have that meant that she also would have turned into a rock-looking isle?

11) Ohhh, and the concept of kings dad being, indeed, genderqueer hit me hahaha. I mean, I think that is the most real representation a god should have, because, how a creature that is not from this world could have been ruled by rules of this world? And this applies to binarism and that on.

12) And also, I know this show is about not being the chosen one. Eda makes herself clear in the first or second episode. But at the end it kinda feels like it because Luz is the one to be chosen by the titan itself to give her his powers. I know it's because she was nice to king and she kept her heart opened throughout the entire series and she was so kind to everyone, even with the ones that didn't deserved that (cough... cough... Belos/Philip). But Eda was also very kind to king and was her adoptive mother. You get me. And, at the end, she was almost the only human to be able to travel between realms, and that felt that it was because she was a weirdo and she was the chosen one (for being a weirdo).

13) Also, the titan is dead, so the glyphs don't work. But I don't understand then why witches are able to still doing magic. The magic is supposed to come from the titan and it is already gone. Maybe it can be explained due to the bile sack, but it feels inconsistent to me. Like, the bile sac is only supposed to synthesise magic for the owner using the one the titan gives or segregate, not create new one. Because if that is that way, there's no need for the titan to exist. Like in the human realm. Everyone was able to do magic except Luz, because she didn't have the bile sac. Or maybe is because the magic produced by the bile sac lasts many years? That's a question that has been spinning in my head for a while.

14) And how did they managed to build a portal between realms? The whole season 2 was about that and now, almost all of a sudden they manage to create one? Because I can't find an explanation 😅. Like, did they extract blood weekly from king? Like if that was a blood donation? 😂 Also, it was built in the place the first time Luz went through it and that felt incredibly well hahaha.

15) And I also see some inconsistent thing with the redesigns. I mean, for the timeskip between season 2 and 3, we see a redesign and at the end we see another one. But the first one felt just so different that, only by the looks and how they have aged, I would have said it has been at least 1 hear until they found another way of getting to the demon realm instead of just 2 months. Like, god, hunter grew his hair so fucking long hahaha. And then in the second timeskip it has been 4 years. That's what I see wrong hahaha.

15) But I loved the redesign. What can you tell me about Amity's one? I think she got even more badass, and I thought that wasn't possible hahaha. The undercut with brown is everything, and the clothes she wears. She seems more an adventurer now. And also the detail that she has now more of Odalia's hips now 😅.

16) And I would have loved to see more between those 4 years, but I understand that the crew didn't have more time to do it, so now we will have to be satisfied with moringmark's comics hahaha.

17) Also, I thought the timeskip would be of more years. Like, just to confirm Lumity get their well-deserved wedding hahaha. Not, but talking seriously, it has been theorised so many times that Azura was Luz and Amity's child from the future, that I thought we would have had something related to it, although it was some kind of stupidity cause it crystal clear the answer, hahaha.

18) But it would have been so cool to see them having their child hahaha.

19) But I also think that timeskip is PERFECT, because it shows us that magic hasn't ended and now Luz has a new system of glyphs to learn.

20) I would love more analysis, comments and posts from you about this episode and, in general, about the entire series and how all connected at last

Hoo boy. Okay. I'll go through these under a cut so that this doesn't ruin some peoples' dashes.

2 & 3) Yes, I still entirely believe Philip wasn't capable of being in a human form after King's Tide; if he was capable of it, he wouldn't have spent the remaining episodes of the series running around as a) a really fucked-up looking monster and b) a melting one.

But in the end of this episode, he's just been given a massive power boost. He was attached to the Titan for a fairly significant amount of time, and that undoubtedly gave him enough power to find his original form one last time. This, of course, doesn't last long, and even though the boiling rain surely helped things, I have a feeling he was going to melt into oblivion even if it remained sunny. The appearance of Philip for that brief moment was because of the remaining power left over from his connection to the Titan, but it dwindled extremely quickly.

4) I understand the disappointment, but like I've said before, I'd have rather they cut the Lumity -- a facet of the show that is not meant to be dramatic and uncertain -- than something else in the episode. I think the pacing was about as good as the crew could've made it.

5) I also loved that parallel, and I'm actually working on an entire post about what it means to not have shown Caleb and Evelyn again in the show. It's fascinating.

6) First of all, yeah, that's definitely not how Papa Titan actually looked in their lifetime; the skeleton we see at the end is probably a lot closer to their actual figure those centuries ago. Second, I'm also sure that Hooty is in fact connected to them somehow; Dana said that his origins would be hinted at in this episode, and, I mean, that was a good hint!

7) The Titan gave Luz the rest of their life-force, which I would honestly assume is the only way to bring someone back from the dead in the Demon Realm.

9 & 10) I guess I'm kind of assuming that the Titan wasn't actually in the in-between themselves until they started to die for good; the Collector was trapped in there alone for a long time, and while they may have been near each other, I don't think the Collector and the Titan could communicate between themselves. Also, yes, Luz would have died for good if she stayed in the liquid. That's the implication, and that's where the Titan goes in the very end, too.

12) I can understand why you'd say that, but that's not how I saw that scene myself. The Titan says themselves that part of the reason Luz is getting this second chance is "because [she's] the one here," and in the end, it's Luz who has to choose herself, not the other way around.

13) It's not inconsistent, that's exactly it. Witches and demons have a biological connection to magic, and the Titan's final death wouldn't impair their bile sac in any way. Luz, on the other hand, has spent the entire series doing things in the way that she's Speaking to the Isles, which is why her Glyphs are so different.

14) The Collector made it. That's why his voice rings out when it opens; it's their creation.

15) ...Hunter's hair? In Thanks to Them, I think the fandom pretty much agrees that his hair tends to grow faster than most, due to him not exactly being a regular witch. At the end of Watching and Dreaming, I mean, I'm just assuming he's had multiple haircuts over the years. I'm assuming they all did. Also, Amity's little headpiece is a reference to her Grom Queen, which is something that damn near made me tear up when I realized it.

17) I never liked that theory, and was very happy that they didn't go that route. I liked the time they set the flash-forward in; it wasn't so radically different, but it was just different enough to know good things about the years we've missed out on.

Thanks for the ask!

She-Ra season 2 be like

Plot A: Adora and friends have a Halloween adventure

Plot B: Hordak abuses Catra with strangulation

Plot A: Adora meets Bow's dads and pretends to be a scholar

Plot B: Hordak abuses and jails Catra

iirc season 2 is interesting because catra's just finding out how hard it is to work when you have severe unaddressed emotional issues. like not only does she have to deal w everything about adora and hordak and shadow weaver, she also has to send goddamn emails

“My Friend, My Enemy”

Random classic She-Ra review! Well not that random, since I mentioned this one a couple posts ago.

This one opens with Catra presenting Hordak a berry pie. Hordak is a trusting soul when it comes to his subordinates and gobbles it down. Imp bounces into the throne room with intelligence on the Rebels of Whispering Woods. When they leave the room, Skeletor pops out of hiding to have a chat with Catra.

It turns out that Skeletor does his own baking, and this pie was baked with doomberries, which cause whoever eats them to fade out of existence over a matter of many hours. Skeletor believes that Horde Prime will need him to replace Hordak if this happens, which certainly raises questions about how the Horde appoints planetary commanders. It’s also not clear what Catra’s motive is, since she talks like she’ll still just be a Force Captain. I guess she just likes Skeletor better than Hordak.

Meanwhile, Hordak and a force of Horde Troopers attack the Rebels and manage to whisk Glimmer off to the Fright Zone as a prisoner. But in the midst of this display of competence, Hordak suddenly becomes sick and weak from that pie he trustingly ate.

(The first improvement I noticed in the reboot was that Glimmer’s powers worked consistently.)

So now the Great Rebellion has the commander of their planet’s occupation force as a sick prisoner. So what does She-Ra do? Fly her winged unicorn to magical advisor Light Hope to ask for a cure for Hordak.

OK, considering that by the end of the movie/5-part pilot that introduced these characters, She-Ra was telling Hordak “Leave Etheria forever!”, you’d think this calls for some unpacking, but writer Carol Baxter’s not giving us that. I don’t know if it was the heads of Filmation, some child psychologist they hired (the late Lou Scheimer’s daughter Erika has talked about doing this because they cared about their stories being appropriate to the audience’s age) or what, but this show was allergic to just saying “I still care because, while he’s evil, he’s my dad.”

Anyway, Light Hope tells her that the only cure for doomberry poisoning is tears. So someone’s going to have to cry for Hordak. She returns to his sickbed in Whispering Woods and asks him who might shed tears for his situation. Is he going to say “Imp”, whom he always dotes on and was established at the beginning of this episode? His runaway daughter Adora, for the superhero “you don’t know that I’m...” gag?

“Noah, the old wizard of Woeful Mountain would help me! He taught me my magic.”

Whaaat? Uh, Hordak, exactly how long have you lived on Etheria?

J. Michael Straczynski claims that he and Larry DiTillio were the story editors for She-Ra, and the reason they left between Seasons 1 and 2 was because Filmation wasn’t crediting them or giving additional pay for that work. And in the continuity as JMS understood it, the galaxy-spanning Horde was still in the process of conquering primitive Etheria when Castaspella was ~10 years old.

(That’s a pre-Horde Shadow Weaver with her in the JMS-written “The Price of Power”.) Plus the Sorceress of Grayskull told Adora “we searched for the dimension where Hordak took you but could not find it”, which is circumstantial evidence for Hordak only coming to Etheria after she was born.

Anyway, She-Ra carries Hordak up Woeful Mountain, while Catra attacks them. There won’t be any repercussions for open treason against Hordak in future episodes, which is explained as him suffering memory problems during his fading sickness. They make up to the top and meet Noah, who Skeletor has trapped in a force bubble. So what does the wizard who was Skeletor’s magic teacher’s magic teacher have to say?

NOAH: [to Hordak] Once I would have helped you, but you took all the years of magical training I gave you and turned it all to evil. You're no friend of mine anymore. SHE-RA: Don't you have any feelings? Have you no sympathy for his suffering? SKELETOR: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Of course I don't have feelings! What sort of villain do you take me for? NOAH: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] The only suffering I sympathize with is that which he's inflicted on this entire planet for years... and which he'll CONTINUE to inflict until he's done away with forever. SHE-RA: I don't believe you can just stand there and watch someone suffering, someone you have the power to help! Once Hordak was powerful. Now he's alone, abandoned, unloved! It's wrong... and it's SAD. NOAH: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Naturally he's abandoned and alone. That's because he's an unloving person who doesn't RESPOND to sympathy! What you're asking me to do wouldn't help him at all; it would just let him create more strife all over Etheria! [something about caring] NOAH: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] Oh, they'll care, all right. When he's gone, all of Etheria will cry - with joy! SHE-RA: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE] You don't think that's sad? The very idea of anybody being so feared and hated that others would actually rejoice at their... at their - their... [breaks down and can't continue]

SKELETOR: You're crying for Hordak? I don't believe it! NOAH: How can you cry for someone like him? SHE-RA: I'm not just crying for Hordak. I'm crying for the saddest thing I know: a wasted life. To be given that most precious gift - the gift of living - to do with as we choose... I'm crying because this man has chosen to throw it away. And when he's gone, nobody will care.

... with that, Hordak is cured, Skeletor runs away, and Noah teleports Hordak and She-Ra back to his throne room. She-Ra breaks Glimmer out of her cell and they book it on Swift Wind. Oh, and Bow is in this episode too. The episode ends at an outdoor dining table in Whispering Woods, where the Rebels seem rather blase about their leader saving Hordak’s life and not even keeping him as a POW, which she justifies as “What’s important is that I know I helped another human being, and that makes me feel good.”

(Pictured: another human being.)

Possible plot holes aside, this is a great episode. It’s a victim of the format of American TV in general at the time, in that we never get to see the status quo disrupted. We learn more about Adora/She-Ra’s feelings for Hordak and we learn that he was not an evil man (so to speak...) when he was a magic student, but there’s never a deeper understanding of what Adora wants. After running away from Hordak to join the Rebellion but also treating him like this when he was at his most vulnerable, what’s her endgame?

That’s for the fandom to figure out.

I kind of love this part of v8, the closing of the curtains?

like not only did they learn from last time and remembered to close the curtains before doing anything hdsjakf but also the closing on the past expectations of their relationship to open a new chapter, the acknowledgement of the past and then letting go ahdsjkf

okay, but can you imagine being Mara, coming back to the Crystal Castle one day, and finding the person you love looking themselves but noticeably Wrong.

Did she know what happened? Did they fall in love, knowing that they're on limited time, that, any second, that this could be taken away? Did she try to spend every conceivable minute with Light Hope, terrified of the day she'll be taken away? Or did she fall into their usual routine with a smile, only for that smile to slowly fade away at each uncaring answer, each brusque statement?

Imagine being Mara, knowing she'll die, that she's dying, that all her friends are dead, knowing the planet she has spent so much time caring for and slowly falling in love with, that that planet is about to die, with the voice and face of her love telling her it's her fault? And she knows that it's not her and she knows that the person she loves is gone, but it's them, alone, desperately alone on a spaceship heading towards towards death, and maybe, maybe, as she lay dying, she believes it

it still breaks me how devastated Adora looks when she realises that Catra coming back was just the Crystal Castle trying to lure her into walking off a cliff

[turtle-ly]

Not to have an insane idea based on fanart. But I feel like it’s almost like. More plausible for catra to defect than for Adora. Cuz like canonically catra hated the horde, and she knew they were evil, and shadow weaver abused her so openly and directly, like she hates it and stuff

But adora’s only reason to leave was just that she realized all of a sudden that they were evil, even tho she was their perfect soldier and completely obedient

Also. Hc that if Adora had asked catra to leave not because it’s the right thing to do, but bc she wants catra with her it would’ve worked and catra would’ve left the horde in like. Episode two.

None of this ^ was coherent lmao

lmao it makes sense but. 1. catra has A reason to stay and 2. adora has the opportunity to leave. catra loves her too much to leave the horde, and she doesnt know what's out there! SW got her to crave that twisted validation and the more she grows up, the possibility that she could see the world grows and maybe she would make a dash for it in later missions. but then adora leaves and yknow! Adora on the other hand got the truth about the horde while not being in contact with SW, thats the only way she could believe it and not go asking the soccerer with mind erasing ability (bad thing to do!)

and even if its hurt to think about, the fact that adora has never questioned the horde does lend strength to the mind erasing theory :(

lmao if she had asked catra with love then it def would have changed everything, but adora is unfortunately emotional repressed :/ and they both have the communication skill of a potato chip so.

i actually liked "adora and catra left the horde" fics! sorry if i just want the gorls to be happy 😌 theres also this one where catra left when she was young and got adopted by bow's dads (as it should be), leaving adora in the horde to later have her shera arc. still waiting for updates on that one <3

#she ra #my asks

[fangirlswilltakeovertheworld]

Consistencies Throughout She-Ra that I noticed

Adora still not knowing normal people things (Adora, do you know what aunt means?)

Catra also not know normal people things even tho the audience has seen Adora be introduced to them (they call this a party!)

And Scorpia too

Light Hope also not knowing normal people things (babies don’t remember things!)

This knife

The number of the Dragons Daughter kept going up

Everyone has the hots for She-Ra

“Hey Adora” like a thousand times

Apparently people remember what happened in the portal world? Kyle brought that up once, but I kinda wish we had seen more of that

The Best Friends Squad sharing one brain cell, constantly, always and forever

The Best Friends Squad being terrible actors

Adora being a dumbass lesbian

When you think about it, Adora and Catra really only interacted in season 4 like 2 times, and the only one Double Trouble saw was this

So their portrayal of Adora during their speech to Catra was more flirty because of that

Speaking of Double Trouble, everyone using they/them pronouns for them, we love

Scorpia talking about her and Catra being on a boat

Catra not liking water

Force Captain orientation (that’s probably my favorite running gag of the show)

The Horde making fun of Kyle and blaming everything on him, constantly

Lonnie being a queen, we stan

That time Catra pushed Bow off of a cliff

Octavia remembering that time Catra scratched her eye out

“This is not because I like you”

Drunk Adora being a delight

Scorpia recognizing Sea Hawk as “That Inspector Guy with the Rebellion” for like 4 seasons

Catra using the whip (I really like that this wasn’t a one time gag and that we actually got to see her use it in combat situations) (plus it was hot)

Catra and Glimmer remembering The CaveTM where they duked it out in Pulse

The fact that Frosta pictured Catra in her suit from Princess Prom bc that was her only interaction with Catra until, like, season 5

Horde people preferring the grey ration bars to the brown ones

Glimmer not knowing that her dad was alive until Prime showed her

I could probably think of more but this list is too long already

[sometipsygnostalgic]

Would you have preferred or hated it if She Ra had an explicit love triangle, like Adora being torn between Catra and Glimmer or Adora and Scorpia fighting over Catra?

honestly i feel like it DID have an explicit love triangle... she ra is so openly gay

not just every single catradora scene from the 1st episode onwards (catras tail flicking adora..... <3), but more overt stuff than that, from season 1!

glimmer ABSOLUTELY has a crush on catra and adora, glimmer shares a bath with adora in a spa and leans on her, repeatedly b

scorpia is very clearly in love with catra and wants to kiss her and there are scenes where it seems like catra wants the same with scorpia, and you know, scorpia gets deeply jealous of adora's relationship to catra.

obviously later on we have scorpia and perfuma together which is just fucking beautiful

mermista has a gay crush on adora which is shown off more than once

sea hawk has SEVERAL EX BOYFRIENDS?!?! mermista may also have ex girlfriends?!?! valid!

adora crushing on huntara, and any buff woman in her vicinity

netossa and spinerella being married, though, i wish we saw more of them early on. especially seasons 2 and 4.

bow's dads though once again i wish we saw them more than 2 and a half times in the entire series.

theres that repeated flirtation catra does with entrapta in season 1 while manipulating her, dont ask (also "is this what love feels like?" - trolling adora)

also entrapta in general overtly flirting with girl robots, naming all her machines after girls, and going "it's a date!" every time a girl arranges something with her lmao, this alone is still better than almost any other show.

i bet emily the robot is also gay. get emily a girlfriend. i saw a fic that was emily x scorpia x perfuma and they told emily's mother (entrapta). it fucking was hilarious.

[kemonododo]

Progressive of Power Panel 2 "Highlights"

(First things first, you should probably take an hour and a half of your time to actually watch it and form your own opinions. I'll try to be unbiased but we all know that's impossible)

Catra and Adora were just whispering about dumb kid stuff, obviously. Made up stories about Shadow Weaver, touching each other's hair, etc. There isn't a deep secret about this.

Adora is the repressed Lesbian, Catra is the yearning Lesbian. Adora would get so into their relationship when she actually realizes.

There's a deleted B-plot about Castaspella, Angella, and Shadow Weaver going to the spa.

There's a deleted Princess Prom scene of Angella getting Prom Photos of Adora and Glimmer, except it's they're posing for a court painter. Also a scene where Scorpia shows Catra her weird flying Scorpion car thing we see at the end.

Micah originally commented on Glimmer and Bow's relationship in a protective dad way.

There might be a faction of First One's left, it's a mystery of whether they're still out there. Maybe an offshoot of Mara's Rebellion.

Mara was originally a He-Man character, but she didn't really base her off that character outside of design. The Mara from the reboot was originally a completely seperate character and was jokingly called "Brittany." Noelle chose Mara because she has the same name as one of her favorite Star Wars characters.

Noelle's theory on Madame Razz is that she's basically a glitch in the matrix, when Mara isolates Etheria she gets dislodged from linear time. When Adora breaks the sword and brings Etheria into the greater Universe, she's healed. Also, in the original show Bible, there was a running joke that Razz dated everyone on Etheria. A joking example is her having an ex that was literally a sentient ball of flame.

The flashback scenes were edited to seem more magical and alive, examples include insect calls and Dinosaur noises.

Double Trouble was originally going to be more of a Femme Fatale, but Jacob Tobia helped shape them into the theater kid we love.

Everyone on the crew has an idea on Flutterina and her fate. Noelle believes she was made up by Double Trouble, based on a little girl they watched in a coffee shop that is none the wiser, while the rest of the crew likes to think she's dead.

Noelle supports the Double Trouble and Peekablue ship, but doubts the real Peekablue acts the way DT played them.

Glimbow is a more subtle mirror to Catradora.

The host relays an email calling Entrapta and Hordak good disability rep. Noelle doesn't directly comment on that.

Hordak and Light Hope are parallels, both created for a specific purpose but breaking from that programing.

Shane Lynch called Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket a "boy Catra"

So a white cis straight guy asks Noelle what stories he can tell. Noelle talks about the importance of minority voices and keeping opportunity doors open for POC and other minorities, it's not about what you're "allowed" to write but instead elevating marginalized voices. Noelle hopes that she can use her success later down the line to influence executives, who are often the reason those voices aren't being heard.

Glimmer's "titty crystal" in her season 4 design is just a piece of a queenly clothing. Glimmer doesn't have wings, the idea is that her little wings are sort of like birthmarks.

Two and a half to three years pass between season 1 and 5, the crew was expecting season 5 to be split with a time jump between.

Here's the big one. There was an inside joke that all of Bow's brothers had punny rhyming names. Oboe who played the Oboe, Gogh who was missing an ear, and I quote "Which one of Bow's brothers likes to till the fields? Sow."

Entrapta absolutely built her own robot parents.

There is probably more than one language on Etheria, the crew never really thought about it.

Laura Sreebny likes to think Kyle, Lonnie, and Rogelio open a bar in the Crimson Wastes. Noelle likes to think Double Trouble would hire then for theater.

"Believe in yourself God damn it" is an Adora outtake the crew loves, a lot of Scorpia's dialog was improvised.

Finn probably wouldn't inherent She-Ra

[alectology-archive]

I’ve seen some anti Catradora people say they don’t like the ship on the basis that Catra and Adora have the same mother and are sisters and—ignoring how much of a reach that is—I feel like it plays into the “these two girls can’t be love interests because they’re family” trope? Like I also saw this with Wolfwalkers. Taking the story at face value—a British girl learns that Irish myths are real when she meets a Wolfwalker (people whose souls becomes a wolf during sleep)—is nice. There's some 1)

2) the movie has a clear anti colonialism theme and a condemnation of the church. But it’s enhanced through a queer lense, when you view the British girl and the wolfwalker girl she meets as love interests. The ideas of conforming to a society that doesn’t accept you, undergoing a transformation that doesn’t fit in said society, and coming to embrace your true self mean soooo much more when you view the girls as lesbians. (The quote “the city is no place for a Wolf” also takes on deeper meaning)

3) Even the clear anti church theme, with the evil christian guy wanting to “get rid of the wildness of the forest” and begging god to “help him tame it” and him trying to force the british girl and her dad to conform to his rigid ideals mean so much more if you view her as a wlw and being a wolfwalker as coming out of the closest. (10/10 recommend, btw) But even though the movie is enriched by looking at it from that lenses, people still view the girls as sisters!!! It’s a big problem.

4) Viewing women in love as sisters, both in Wolfwalkers and in SPOP, cheapens the complex stories. But people keep doing it!!!

Okay diaclaimer: I feel really uncomfortable shipping robyn and mebh because they have a pretty significant age gap and they end up becoming stepsisters by the end of the movie. But I definitely feel the queerness in the movie is undeniable when you discuss its themes so I prefer to think that they're both individually queer without being in a relationship with one another.

I just generally feel that the trend of fandoms aggressively pushing for two kids from animated shows to be shipped together is not a good thing since they tend to be so young (and this is why I generally hate every single person in the atla fandom and have all of its tags blocked).

Legend of korra and she-ra are a different story in the sense that their characters are aged 17-21 for both based on the season and feature an age gap of less than a year so I feel a lot more comfortable with them.

But wlw relationships definitely have a tendency to be sidelined and demonised and picked apart and cancelled in ways that mlm ships never are. I think with lok and spop people also tend to forget that both of them were very heavily censored (although spop somehow managed to sneak in so much queer subtext that on a rewatch it didn't really feel like it) which is why the interpretation of THEY ARE SISTERS and THEY ARE FRIENDS exist in the first place, often originating from the homophobic crowd. And akdaksjdk yeah unfortunately all two men have to do is interact politely to get a massive shipping subfandom but even if women literally kiss on screen there'll be a lot of discourse over it and they're eventually forgotten and mocked for not being As Good as the rep in the shows that follow although they laid the foundation for them.
