I think the best thing about the episode "Fractures" in season 4 to me is seeing Scorpia finally be in a loving, non-toxic environment with genuinely good people. But the saddest thing is seeing this juxtaposed against a paranoid, mentally unstable Catra who has lost everyone because of her own toxicity.

#I just need catra to realize that she has the capacity to be a better person and then fucking do it #go be happy you are only holding urself back girl #catra #scorpia #parallels #spop #she ra and the princesses of power #scorfuma #well its scorfuma adjacent #frosta's there too

Okay but the way that Kit is freaking out about how her dad killed Jade’s dad and she’s worrying about how is this going to affect her relationship with Jade and how Jade feels about her and she’s getting all worked up about it and meanwhile Jade is like “yeah actually I’ve put that particular revelation straight in the maybe-I’ll-deal-with-that-later box and I’m not too fussed about it right now so you don’t have to worry” and you can see Kit’s relief but also the wait what kinda reaction as she totally just gets blindsided by Jade’s “you know what, our fathers whole kill or be killed relationship was their problem not ours” attitude

#like I have a feeling it’ll come up again #especially like how does SCORPIA feel about that whole thing #it being her dad too #but in the moment Jade’s reaction is very meh #and Kit’s like I have a whole speech planned . . . #willow 2022 #save willow #kit tanthalos #jade claymore #tanthamore

spop fans: omg when scorpia asked catra to stay with her in the crimson waste, catra blushed because she was thinking about adora

catra from s1-4: has never once blushed when she was around adora

#like YALL #literally any time catra was around adora or talking about adora she always looked either angry or smug #not once did she look bashful #she was blushing at scorpia in the crimson waste geez #she blushed at scorpia earlier in that episode too #idc what the canon ship is there was no indication in that episode that catra was blushing at the thought of adora #spop critical #spop salt #spop #spop criticism #spop discourse #she ra #anti spop #anti catra #anti catradora #anti c//a #antic//a #anticatra #anticatradora #scorptra #scorpia x catra

i guess i'm kinda surprised that lonnie didn't get to be force captain. i know lonnie doesn't show up much, but maybe that would give some more insight to her character. and i guess it would make more sense than catra of all people getting the position.

#i post #spop critical #while i appreciate hordak not judging catra in a personal way (like shadow weaver does) #it doesn't make any sense for her to be force captain #and as much as i love scorpia #she's kinda incompetent too #i always felt like lonnie took her training seriously #and like. i know i've said before i'm not a big fan of her (might kinda dislike her for being a bully) #but lonnie had potential #i think she was at her best in s4

Alex Rider Producer, Richard Burrell, confirms the Season 3 trailer has been made and he has seen it!

Hopefully we’ll get to see it in the not too distant future!

im rewatching signals and i just fully registered the line "shadow weaver used to tell me about ghosts in the horde" for the first time. like i always just went "fear control tactic, got it" but the way adora then describes it really makes it sound like shadow weaver sat them all around at night for Story Time and its like. i know it was all manipulation but i can totally see how she built a "relationship" with them over the years doing things like that that almost seem innocuous or like bonding and are actually just feeding in propaganda

#adora lists like. a LOT of stories too #like this was a regular occurrence #this isn't new or analysis or anything. im just thinking about it like you poor kids :( #also scorpia is. so cute #she's trying so hard. baby #in a different episode but. god catra is so cute when she's winning #she's also baby #words and thing

more spop world building notes

i was talking with an irl friend about my brightmoon head canons and mentioned to them how odd it was that the boats in spop don't seem to sit in the water, as can be seen from this screenshot of sea worthy:

they also float in the air sometimes i guess.

example of them in the water:

my friend noted that the fins look like hydrofoils , something i hadn't known about. theyre basically fins that go on the bottom of a boat and, qutoe from the wiki--

"As a hydrofoil craft gains speed, the hydrofoils lift the boat's hull out of the water, decreasing drag and allowing greater speeds."

real hydrofoils look like this:

the resemblance is even better with hydrofoil boards.

real hydrofoils have structures that go under the water in order to give the boat/board the lift to be able to rise up like this

but what if the same effect could be achieved a different way?

we know that there's a stark difference in technology between the horde and the rest of etheria, but Horde navel vessels also appear to float just over the surface of the water despite looking much heavier than the other etherian ships we see.

we also know they have other floating land vehicles like the skiffs.

much of their other vehicle technology has a scorpion aesthetic, as it was adopted or stolen from scorpias former kingdom. examples:

we also know that first one's technology combined magic with regular technology, and entrapta seems to be the first person to have been able to reinvent this kind of tech during the events of the show.

We also know that the galactic horde doesn't use magic in its technology at all, as its a major plot point in season 5.

other people have made theories that i agree with, (but don't feel like trying to dig up their posts) that when hordak arrived on etheria, he did so at a time when anti-princess sentiment was already high and was adopted into an existing conflict because he brought with him stronger technology that could even the playing field with people with magical powers. he then would joined with the scorpion nation in this effort in some way-- whether it was mutually beneficial or not.

this is the image of the scorpion nation being taken over by the horde that light spinner showed micah as a child to convince him to help her grow her own magical abilities

it should be noted that light spinner/shadow weaver was at this time a powerful sorceress in illusory magics and is a villian well known for manipulating children in her care (adora, catra, micah). The scorpion kingdom take over could have happened like this or been more of a mutual endeavor and this is just what she chose to show micah because she knew it would compel him to action. Evidence could point either way. Scorpia is the only living scorpion person we ever see in the show, but she's also been treated well (has her own room with a picture of her parents with her on display and a closet full of dresses) and been given status beyond her abilities in the horde. she's supposed to be a force captain in season one, before even catra is made one, and yet when she is left in charge of a crew of soldiers its played for laughs, as if she's never had to do that before in a meaningful way. at least to me, speaks to there having been an alliance between the growing Horde and the scorpion kingdom at least at some point, and maybe a promise to take care of a young princess that was honored.

the textual evidence in support of hordak bringing advanced tech to an old conflict is scorpia mentioning before the prom that the other princesses didn't like her kingdom even before the war, the face that the horde cadets grew up being fed anti-princess propaganda despite the horde harboring a known princess in a position of authority, and the tech that the horde has. As i said before some of it has a scorpion motif like it came from the scorpion kingdom, but some of it does look like what we see of galactic horde tech, notably hordaks lasers and the green forcefield prison cells present in both hordes.

we also know that hordak himself is an engineer, having made many technologies presumably by himself-- such armor to hide and manage his medical condition, something he did not want other people to know about. So its my opinion that all of the tech we seen in the etherian horde is an amalgamation of scorpion tech, galactic horde tech adapted by hordak as well as new designs he invented. none of which use magic before entrapta joins the horde.

so what is my point? well, the other etherian kingdoms other than dryl dont seem to use any modern tech at all, at least at the structural level. like bow and his parents have a data pads they can call each other with, but much of the way people are living in etheria looks almost medieval. the princesses dont seem to have any ground vehicles at all for example.

and yet both sides have floating boats.

one could say the princesses boats are magical while the horde boats use some kind of magnets or some other floating technology we don't have.

OR

you know what they do both have?

FLOATING ROCKS

so all of this to say...

what if they put rocks in the boat and it make it go up instead of down????

#and this is a technology that predates the horde which is why they both have it #but simple enough they dont need the secrets of first ones tech to do it #spop #shera #rambling #scorpia meta #hordak meta #spop meta #thoughts #sorry #this went on for way too long lol #i had a bit about hordak inventing the internet #i left it out cause its too long as it is but theres not much more to it than that #i just think it was him

Russian Roulette update: Yassen's conversation with John towards the end of Командир (The Commander) genuinely made me tear up a bit. Y'all if I hadn't started shipping them at the start of Eagle Strike the first time I saw them interact this scene would've 100% convinced me because the way Yassen was so hesitant about working for Scopia at the start and had considered his other options, but now that John is tutoring him he desperately wants to prove his loyalty and competency. In the jungle John tells him he could leave if he wanted to, Scorpia had taught him enough about disguise - all this he had considered before himself, yet when John brings it up Yassen immediately shoots it down, becomes agitated. Why? Because he feels like John is questioning his competency. Remember what he said? "I can do this." John wants Yassen to not have to walk down the same path that he did, but ironically he is the reason Yassen even cares so much about succeeding in Scorpia in the first place. His cover worked a bit too well and now Yassen has a very fixed idea of who John is, and he will do anything to prove himself to his version of John.

You get it, right? The way they want completely different things out for each other, completely incompatible things, because they do not understand each other. These types of dynamics really just eat me up from the inside

#chaotic ramblings #alex rider #russian roulette #yassen gregorovich #john rider #man they really need a ship name i need SOMETHING to tag these posts with #the fact that yassen's relationship with john is very much personal to him even though he would never admit it #and it just so happens that to him john is basically an embodiment of scorpia #and he wants to impress john so by proxy he decides the best way to do that is to prove himself to scorpia #do you get it. do you get the dynamic #the tension in that scene was phenomenal i felt like i was reading fanfiction #which i suppose means that every fic author in this fandom does a wonderful job of capturing their relationship #just. the way yassen is so on edge whenever john says something about how he could still leave if he wanted to. before it's too late #the way he is so confused as to why john would bring this up because it doesnt fit with the very fixed idea he has in his mind about #who john is. the way he says “i killed some of them” as if to say see? i am like you. i can be like you. please give me a chance #his admiration for and attachment to john is so incredibly unhealthy which is unsurprising given that he has not had a normal #relationship of any sort since he was 14 and everyone he knew died #he wants so badly to be who he thinks john wants him to be. and that means that he will never be who he wants to be or who john wants him t #be or who he thinks john wants him to be. he is pursuing something that just doesn't exist #god i am so normal about these two

That scene where Jade and Scorpia try very hard to kill each other and succeed in beating the shit out of each other, and our gang is so so stressed out and the Bonereavers are just living for it

#they were cheering like they were at a festival #Scorpia seemed to be having the time of her life #to be fair the bonereavers were probably betting on Scorpia winning so weren’t too worried #willow 2022 #willow series #jade claymore #scorpia willow #season 1 episode 5

She-Ra spoilers for the few who haven't watched it yet

Ok so I want to talk about this one scene in She-Ra. Specifically, the scene where Scorpia calls Catra a bad friend.

(forgive me this is my first attempt at an analysis post and I'm too tired for my brain to function properly)

Here.

Scorpia honestly looks so disappointed and ashamed with herself, and I might talk about that another time, but right now I want to talk about Catra's reaction.

I feel like there were around 4 things Catra wanted to do.

Scream at Scorpia and send her to Beast Island or something, punish her in some way, but then again I doubt she would do that.

Laugh and say something like "You're just realising that now?

Break down. Break down and cry.

And then the last thing is what she actually did.

She just looked at her. And if you look closely, she genuinely looks really scared.

But later, in Hordak's sanctum, she protects Scorpia and says she couldn't find the recording.

I don't think Catra looked scared at Scorpia; I'm pretty sure she was scared at herself. Scared at what she was becoming. She still cared for Scorpia, despite how she, Catra had treated her. It's details like these that make me love She-Ra and ND Stevenson's work even more. And I feel so bad for Catra. She's genuinely trying, but all her trauma makes it hard for her, as well as the mountain of stress.

This show is amazing.
