Catra looks into ecoterrorism. Perfuma learns about stranger danger. The Netherlands are canon, I guess.
Transcript/Image ID below the cut
[Image Description: A cover and 14 comic pages from the She-Ra mini-comic, “A Most Unpleasant Present”.
Cover: Starburst She-Ra stands in a fairly small meadow of flowers, smiling at Flutterina as the latter lands. Perfuma stands between them, also smiling. The Princess of Power logo takes its customary place at the top of the page, while the title of the issue breaks from tradition and sits directly below it, reading "A Most Unpleasant Present" in violet, with a whisper of a black border surrounding it. At the foot of the page, on a wavy-striped green strip, the copyright info reads "Illustrations: (copyright symbol) Mattel, Inc. 1985. Hawthorne, CA 90250 U.S.A. PRINTED IN TAIWAN. All Rights Reserved. (registered trademark symbol) and TM designate U.S. trademarks of Mattel, Inc." Which is actually a little weird, because this is issue 8 and was released after Fishy Business. I guess they weren't necessarily produced in the order they were published in but huh. Huh!
Page 1: A pale lilac caption box reads, "Never was a garden in Etheria more lovely than the Laughing Swan Inn's. Perfuma tended her flowerbeds with care. Where a flower had bloomed and faded, she quickly planted another. Dainty lady's slippers and sweet candytufts, bright Dutchman's breeches and soft buttercups—each flower was a lovely work of art." Great, now the Netherlands are canon.
Perfuma is walking through a garden with a basket of flowers in her arms. The artists don't share in the writer's proclivity for flowers, as they've taken the names literally and drawn literal lady's slippers, a pair of jorts overflowing with flowers like a scarecrow that's been chopped in half, and several flowers full of hard candies and candy canes, which is double stupid because candytufts aren't even named after candy (It's from Candia, former name of Crete's administrative capital). Which isn't to say the writer knows all that much, because those flowers would do pretty poorly if subjected to identical conditions. But perhaps Etheria has some kind of magical ability to filter its sunlight and soil drainage for individual flowers. Behind Perfuma is the Laughing Swan Inn, which is shaped like a giant pink swan. So I guess this is another of those things Mattel and Filmation had distinct designs for.
End Page 1.
Page 2: A pink caption box reads, "A bustle in the hedgerow took Perfuma by surprise. Looking up, she found a pretty cat-woman was standing at her side." Perfuma meets eyes with a sly-looking Catra, who's in her Scratchin' Sound Catra outfit, sans mask and gloves. Catra is emerging from a flower bed that might once have been a hedgerow but certainly isn't now.
"My my! Your flowerbeds are beautiful this time of year," says Catra, grinning with a little too much tooth.
"Won't you plant these seeds too? They're a special gift," she says, holding a neatly wrapped present out to a pleased Perfuma. It's wrapped in yellow paper and a blue bow.
End Page 2.
Page 3: A pink caption box reads, "Perfuma quite unwittingly obliged. In an instant, pigweed and poison ivy sprang up everywhere! She found herself trapped in a tangle of briars with no hope for escape!" A startled Perfuma raises her arms and looks down at more plant names taken literally, with several shrubs sprouting pig heads and skull-and-crossbones blossoms. Poison ivy and pigweed are both used to refer to a series of weeds found primarily in eastern North America, especially further south. They're prickly and tend to snag, and of course poison ivy is an allergenic, irritating the skin and causing rashes, but neither of them has thorns so I wouldn't really use the term 'briar'. Like you're going to be pretty itchy and covered in seeds for a while, but you could simply walk out.
"Soon all Etheria's gardens shall look like thisss!" says Catra, grinning again.
End Page 3.
Page 4: Oh, I see. This and page 3 form a two-page spread. Catra is standing on the other side of a meadow of weeds, arms held out and away from her body as if she's basking in the light of the sun, her face lit up with an exultant smile. There are more skulls and pigs heads around her, plus a few evil-looking fiddleheads that vaguely resemble ram horns.
"Full of weeds… wonderful weeds!" says Catra, gesturing at her handiwork. Girl it was one seed bomb this is hardly guerilla gardening.
End Page 4.
Page 5: A pink caption box reads, "Flutterina watched from a second story window at the inn. Spotting Catra, her face darkened. She knew she had to fly to Crystal Castle for help." Flutterina is standing on the world's smallest balcony, like I think as small as one can be before it stops being a windowsill. But it looks OSHA-compliant, so good for Thaymor. Perfuma and Catra are visible in the field of weeds below her.
"So, Catra's up to her old tricks! I must get help quickly," says Flutterina, flying towards the Crystal Caslte.
End Page 5.
Page 6: A pale purple caption box reads, "Spotting Flutterina in the air, Butterflyer took wing to meet her. Breathlessly, the young girl revealed Perfuma's plight. Her words echoed through Crystal Courtyard as Princess Adora listened secretly." So Butterflyer (usually called THE Butterflyer) was a carrying case released with Wave 2 of the toys. In-universe she was discovered by She-Ra in 'the beautiful caverns deep beneath Crystal Castle' sleeping in a cocoon and woke her up, whereafter she carried She-Ra and her friends around Etheria.
The illustration shows Adora watching Flutterina land in what's apparently called 'Crystal Courtyard', where Bow and a very green Mermista receive her. Like, her hair is green, her outfit is green, I literally wouldn't know this was Mermista aside from the necklace and seashell bodice. It doesn't help that (the) Butterflyer is nowhere to be seen despite being featured in the caption.
A pale purple caption box reads, "She knew they would need her help. So she drew her Sword of Protection and said…" Adora holds the hilt of the sword, just in-frame.
"For the honor of Grayskull…" says Starburst She-Ra, transforming with her arms spread wide, "I am She-Ra!"
End Page 6.
Page 7: A pale pink caption box reads, "She-Ra leaped between Butterflyer's wings and beckoned her friends to join her. "Quick, everyone! We must help Perfuma stop Catra from ruining the beautiful gardens!" She-Ra said. In an instant they were airborne, heading for the Laughing Swan Inn." Oh good, we're back to quotations in the caption boxes. Bow and Mermista seem to be riding comfortably astride (the) Butterflyer, while She-Ra is like… floating alongside her? Her right hand is resting on her, but her left arm is held out and away from her body, while her legs float in free space. Flutterina flies along behind the Butterflyer. Mermista's hair is closer to teal than green on this page, so we're getting there. The Crystal Castle recedes into the distance behind them, sitting atop a beautiful pink mesa.
The Butterflyer is slightly smaller than her toy, proportionally speaking, being only about twice the size of the figures here. She's all pink, including skin and hair, though it's lighter and darker there, respectively. As a toy, her skin is a pearlescent white almost the same color as She-Ra's outfit, and her wings are a different, more flexible plastic, used as handles to carry the figures around. This picture is slightly off-model, as it shows the Butterflyer with her arms held back against her side aerodynamically, whereas the toy has them clasped in front of her and holding a white butterfly. She also has a different neckline; the toy has a scoop neck with a patterned border and the picture features more of a poorly-defined feather look. It's also sleeveless, instead of the elaborately patterned opera glove/sleeve combo of the toy. We can't even say they were keeping it closer to the Filmation design, because that one doesn't HAVE arms.
End Page 7.
Page 8: Catra swoons extremely dramatically as a huge flower emerges from Perfuma's back and emits a large yellow cloud. A pale purple caption box reads, "Meanwhile, Perfuma had used her magic sleeping power to put Catra in a deep sleep. But she knew her power was only temporary and Catra would be awake soon." The skulls and pig heads are still there.
"Oh my, I must have dozed off! Your power is strong, Perfuma, but not strong enough!" says Catra, who's awake again, after a single panel.
"Oh no… here comes She-Ra!" says Catra, looking mildly concerned.
End Page 8.
Page 9: A pale purple caption box reads, "Down, down Butterflyer dived. Perfuma grabbed Bow's arm and off they flew leaving Catra behind in the brambles." Okay but if you just wanted to escape why not do it for the 5 seconds she was unconscious? I thought the idea was to stop her from seed-bombing the whole planet. Bow is floating off the side of the Butterflyer now too, his arm wrapped around Perfuma's waist to lift her to safety. Mermista and She-Ra are beaming at him. She-Ra has her sword raised ineffectually and Catra is seething in the meadow below.
"You butterbrains! Flee before you feel my fireweed at your feet!" says Catra, hurling what appears to be a flaming dandelion after them instead of the pioneer species also known as rosebay willowherb and bombweed. This time it seems not to be intended as a literal reference, at least.
End Page 9.
Page 10: A pale purple caption box reads, "Mermista quickly put out the fireweed. Caught in the spray, Catra ran for cover. Swooping down, Butterflyer made a perfect landing at the Laughing Swan's front door." The Butterflyer smiles at a small explosion, as Mermista shoots a jet of water from her necklace at the fireweed. Mermista, Perfuma, Bow, and She-Ra are atop the Butterflyer, and there's a pair of butterfly wings behind Perfuma so I think the implication is that Flutterina is now, too?
"Hurry, everybody! We have no time to waste!" says She-Ra, gesturing for her friends to spring into action now that they're all on the ground.
End Page 10.
Page 11: A pale pink caption box reads, "She-Ra and her friends worked quickly to save Perfuma's garden. Bow began pulling weeds, but Catra hurled a tumbleweed that sent him sprawling. Waist-deep in tarweed, Mermista was helpless to stop him. Perfuma was certain Catra could not be stopped, but She-Ra had a plan." The princesses look on in mild concern as Catra gleefully throws a gross, fleshy, hollow orb at Bow. Honestly it looks like the mace of a nutmeg, without the nutmeg. There are still pig heads and skulls and such around everyone. The Laughing Swan Inn looms in the background but does help balance the composition a bit.
"It's time to give Catra a taste of her own medicine!" says She-Ra.
End Page 11.
Page 12: A pale purple caption box reads, "She-Ra sent Perfuma inside the Inn. When the girl returned, she held two tiny seeds—one in each hand. She-Ra told Perfuma she must trust the magic of the Sword of Protection and gently waved it over the girl's open palms." Perfuma looks down at her palms, held face up with a seed in each, as She-Ra holds a very short-looking Sword of Protection over them and lifts her other hand as though casting a spell. The sword and Perfuma's hands glow with sparkling purple magic.
The seeds, about the size of blueberries, are coated in a golden light.
They grow larger, more the size of cherries. "Why, look!" says Perfuma.
They grow larger, now the size of kiwis. "The seeds have tripled in size!"
End Page 12.
Page 13: "Now quickly, Perfuma! Throw the seeds at Catra's feet!" says She-Ra.
A pale purple caption box reads, "Huge snapdragons and dogwood sprang from the ground—their bark worse than their bite. Catra quickly darted away, quivering with fright." A dog-headed plant barks at Catra, while three 'dragon' plants snap. Catra looks apprehensive, rearing away from them but not yet running. Perfuma and She-Ra watch from the background, smiling wide.
End Page 13.
Page 14: A pale purple caption box reads, "Perfuma's eyes were full of tears. Catra was gone indeed, but she had left her weeds behind! She-Ra gently spoke to the girl with words both wise and kind. "Catra plays some nasty tricks; but we can help you make your garden pretty again. Perfuma, I think we can all learn a lesson here!"" Is it the lesson that semicolons function as conjunctions and as such you should never follow it with a second? No? Just that you should always take plant names literally?
She-Ra puts a consoling hand on Perfuma's shoulder.
"Oh, yes! I know now that it's dangerous to take gifts from strangers," says a crying Perfuma, in the orange-ish red of recent morals.
"Come on everybody and pitch in! We have work to do!" says Bow, holding a hoe.

what sports i think the metkayina trio + spider would play modern au headcanons!
second part to what sports i think the sully children play!
slowly but surely trying to get thru this writer block & hiatus 🤞🏽
ao’nung
swimming and/or water polo
— he probably just naturally has a build built for water sports so he excels in it & is super cocky about it too (#blessedgenes)
— was defeated not given the choice on which sport he’d play when he was younger. both of his parents probably did either sport so they’d want him to also do it as well. or they at least wanted him to do one
— i don’t see him being the team captain but he’d def be co-captain or an alternate. he loves the sport don’t get him wrong but not to the extent where he’d be team captain. he already has enough pressure to perform well & doesn’t need that kind of title placed on him
— def see him being a butterflyer or a backstroker. like he much rather do those strokes in a swim meet than the other two
— is 100% the type of kid to have “eat my bubbles!” sharpied onto his arm or lower back during meets. probably begged his mom to write it on there too 😭
— also has to have the order of his races written on his arm so he doesn’t forget the order & where he’s supposed to go
— sees no point in wearing a swim cap
— always challenged himself by trying to score a point higher from his last game in water polo or get a better time in whatever stroke for swimming. he’d make sure to ask his parents to like reward him or something so he’d have the drive to do it. but even then, he’s still able to do it without the prize
— wears sandals everywhere. period. no arguments.a
— has such a bad swim trunk tan line. he really tries to get it even in the summer or during swimming season by wearing speedos lol
tsireya
volleyball (indoor, sand, + grass)
— girl is graceful asf on the court
— position would probably be setter or outside i feel like. she might not have the height for it but def has the hops. like a secret weapon of sorts. you’d never expect it
— is 100% the team captain
— she is so supportive of her team & always makes sure that one of her teammates is not stuck in their head or blaming themselves for a bad play
— i can see her number either being 1 or some random ass number, like 49 or 27
— always has the best hair-dos on the court. she seriously goes all out
— def the designated braider of the team so she has to make sure her girls are looking fresh asf on the court too 🫶🏼
— very humble about her accomplishments & wins. she very much believes that an individual does not win a game, a team does so all of that congratulations should be projected to the team rather than on an individual level
— probably has this pregame ritual where she gets there super early to get used to the size of the gym/court. peppers by herself & gets into the zone 100%
— does volleyball literally all year around. so she’ll do school & club for indoor, sand in the summer, & grass for fun. it’s her whole life tbh
— ronal is 100% the team mom. no questions asked
swimming
— i can also see her doing swim, but like only for a club during the summer when she doesn’t have anything for volleyball
— her & ao’nung are the best sibling duo in this sport 100%. they’re always paired up for a medley relays
— she likes free style more than the other strokes so that’s her main event during meets usually
— isn’t as passionate about it as her parents or brother. would much rather do & play volleyball than swim
— is also the kid to have “eat my bubbles!” written somewhere on there body lol
rotxo
soccer
— i can def see him playing soccer & being like a striker or a forward
— is def the one that annoys the coach to no end & ends up causing the team to run laps bc of it. sometimes it’s totally not intentional. it just happens lol
— team clown 100%
— he doesn’t really score a lot of goals but he does assist his teammates in their scoring. has the most assists on his team (idk if that’s a thing in soccer)
— has the most weirdest celebrations ever whenever he does manage to score
— been playing since he could walk fr
— jersey number is probably something like 14 or a random even number. bro likes even numbers for some reason
— is a really versatile player & if need be, can play goalie or be a defender if a player is out sick or injured
— def plays for his school & local town club
baseball
— can def see rotxo playing this as well
— most definitely a catcher (idk why but i just see it)
— probably only got into it to work on his soccer skills somehow or to work on his eye & hand coordination since he’s quite good with his feet & eyes
— only plays for his school since soccer usually takes up most of his free time
— lowkey has a wicked curveball
— he likes the catcher uniform bc it looks like he’s an autobot from transformers lol
— surprisingly somehow became captain & doesn’t know what to do with that title most times
— really good at determining calls for the pitcher & suggesting what they should throw next
spider
hockey
— no one would expect someone like spider to play this sport so everyone’s shocked when he says what sport he plays
— probably a defenseman & has the most penalties on his team lol
— ^ will literally fight everyone on the ice if need be. he plays dirty & truly doesn’t give a single fuck
— not a team captain but probably one of the alternatives. he’s more on the silent side regarding his “captaincy” but has the ability to talk his teammates up when they aren’t playing very well. bro has a way with words fr
— a lot of people think he’s a playboy hockey player but that’s FAR from the truth. he barely has enough confidence to talk to a girl on & off the ice. poor boy just shuts down
— since he’s like 6’0+, his build is really intimidating & he uses it to his advantage. def slams others into the boards as hard as he can when they’re down however many points. like, just imagine a 6’0+ dude like spider skating down the ice at literal lightning speed to slam you into the boards. i’d be shitting my pants fr
— started playing at the age of like 4 or 5 probably
— he loves skating so much that he goes to the rink or puts on rollerblades & just skates around to calm down or let out some steam. it’s really his outlet
— his number is most definitely 69 or 96. some funny shit like that
— will also defend his teammates with his life on the ice if someone were to fuck with them. that’s his family. he’d do anything for them
— ^ especially their goalie. bro is only gentle with their goalie & if anyone fucks with them, you best expect his gloves to be thrown & knuckles bloody from how hard he punched. ride or die fr
— nicknames probably consist of spider (obvi), kilometer (for miles lol), socks (for socorro), ironfist (for how much he gets into fights), & oreo/orro (for socorro)
— has the talent & ability to potentially go to college for hockey. he puts so much time & effort into his skills & the sport & it def shows through how he plays

Adventure of the Blue Diamond
Frosta learns about stranger danger, Catra blots out the 'daystar', and She-Ra smashes a priceless gem for no discernible reason.
Transcript/Image ID below the cut
[Image Description: A cover and 14 comic pages from the She-Ra mini-comic, “Adventure of the Blue Diamond”.
Cover: She-Ra stands in a snowy field, staring at something. Double Trouble, Frosta, and Bow stand behind her, none of them dressed for cold weather. Bow has an arrow nocked, and his embedded ‘heart’ is situated low on his torso, more where a belly button would be. All parties look vaguely concerned. The ‘Princess of Power’ logo stands in sharp contrast to the indigo sky, while the title ‘Adventure of the Blue Diamond’ is a washed out azure with insufficient lining to read well against the lighter purple background and blue of Bow’s pants.
Page 1: A yellow text box reads, “The duties of the day behind her. PRINCESS ADORA indulges in a rare moment of quiet reflection. But her sweet peace is to be short lived… For all is not well in Etheria… ”
Adora is looking into a mirror, brushing her hair despite still wearing her crown and high-collared cape. She’s smiling peacefully.
Adora notices something in her reflection, pausing in her brushing.
What appears to be a window glows gold in the reflection of the mirror, and she stares at it with a concerned frown.
Kowl bursts into the room, frantic, calling, “Oh, fair princess, woe is me! DANGER! DANGER… all I see! QUICKLY! You must follow me! HOOT! HOOT!” Adora whips around to face him.
“Good heavens, Kowl! What IS the matter?” she asks. The words ‘Adventure of the Blue Diamond’ appear on a title scroll at the bottom of the page. ‘Blue Diamond’ is rendered as though made of cut gems.
End Page 1.
Page 2: “Just look and listen!” says Kowl, leading her to the open window of the Crystal Castle. A strong and ominous wind hisses outside.
“CATRA! Up to her old tricks! I’d recognize that voice anywhere!” says Adora, looking out into a gathering storm.
“She’s gone too far I fear! Etheria’s DOOM is all too near!” says Kowl.
“Not if I have anything to say about it!��� says Adora, with a confident smile.
“BY THE HONOR OF GRAYSKULL… I AM SHE-RA!” she yells, holding the Sword of Protection aloft. Magic swirls around her, and the word ‘BOOM!’ is printed in big red letters. Her crown inverts, but does not cover her eyes as a mask.
“I must find the source of this dark trouble at once! Kowl, summon BOW and DOUBLE TROUBLE… quickly… I’ll need their HELP!” She-Ra says to Kowl.
End Page 2.
Page 3: A yellow caption box reads, “Moments later…” and we see that it’s begun to snow. A large vehicle with lepidopteran wings, somewhere between the Butterflyer and the Flutter Plane in design but colored to match Double Trouble’s outfit, is parked in front of the Crystal Castle, where She-Ra meets with her allies.
“Brave Bow, far greater is the force of Catra’s folly this day than I have ever seen it! I know not the SOURCE of her dark powers, but we must NOT let her EVIL TREACHERY SUCCEED!” says She-Ra.
“Never have I seen Etheria look more DESOLATE and DREARY! Whatever Catra’s up to… It must be a vile TRICK indeed!” says Bow.
“She-Ra, surely you must have some sort of PLAN!” says Double Trouble.
“Indeed I do and much of it depends on you, Double Trouble., with your SPY DISGUISE you can make it into Catra’s camp UNDETECTED! GO NOW and discover for me just what wretched scheme that fiendish feline has up her sleeve!” says She-Ra.
Double Trouble stands with her hands on her hips, wind buffeting Bow behind her. “And when I have your answer?” she asks.
“Then send a SIGNAL skyward. The FLUTTER PLANE will bring Bow and me to your side in a but a moment!” says She-Ra, so apparently that is in fact the Flutter Plane, just riffing on the earlier two-seater concept art that Filmation discarded and Mattel never produced. Cool.
A yellow caption box reads, “A clever scout, Double Trouble soon finds herself on the evil Catra’s trail…” and we see Double Trouble slogging through the snow, following a very neat and precise course.
“FOOT PRINTS! Catra has been here all right!” she says, following them as it continues to snow. The ground is now completely covered.
End Page 3.
Page 4: “... and up ahead… a CAVE!” says Double Trouble, trudging through even deeper snow, approaching, you guessed it, a cave. “If I don’t miss my guess, the SINISTER FELINE seeks shelter from the storm inside!”
“Just as I suspected! BUT WAIT… What’s this? The fiendish feline holds a PRISONER!” Double Trouble thinks to herself, peering into the cave to see an exultant Catra, wearing a silver fur cloak, gloating over a woman with long blue hair tied to a stalagmite.
“AT LAST! The treasured SNOW CAPE and its powerful SECRETS are mine… ALL MINE!” says Catra.
End Page 4.
Page 5: “HELP! Somebody HELP ME!” yells the prisoner. Catra smiles dismissively and pulls out her mask and says, “FROSTA, my dear, you are a FOOL! There is no one to hear your cries, nor anyone to interfere with thissss…
“My most diabolical plot to SEIZE CONTROL of all Etheria!” she declares, putting on her mask.
The space between panels reads, “Unleashed by Catra’s evil threats, Double Trouble CHANGES into her SPY DISGUISE - a face that Catra recognizes as a FRIEND!” followed by a four-panel sequence of Double Trouble shifting into evil mode.
“CATRA! What have we here?” she asks.
“WHA…? Oh it’s you, Double Trouble!” says Catra. “This foolish girl has given me her precious SNOW CAPE, and with its secrets, Etheria will soon be MINE!”
End Page 5.
Page 6:
“HOW? What secrets? Tell me your plan!” says Double Trouble.
“I took Frosta’s powerful WAND and FROZE ETHERIA!” says Catra. “But its freezing effect is only temporary! Fear not, friend—I’ve discovered a MAP in her cape that will lead me to the BLUE ICE DIAMOND! And I will have the power to freeze Etheria FOREVER!”
“Double Trouble, guard Frosta until I return!” says Catra, running from the cave.
A yellow caption box reads, “Above Etheria’s moonlit horizon, Bow and She-Ra watch… and wait…” and we see the Flutter Plane flying over a snow-covered landscape.
“LOOK THERE! It’s Double Trouble’s SIGNAL!” says Bow, pointing at a flare of magic from the pilot’s seat.
“GOOD! Let’s take ‘er down…” says She-Ra.
End Page 6.
Page 7: “She-Ra, Etheris is in the greatest PERIL! Frosta, QUICKLY, you must tell She-Ra everything you know!” says Double Trouble, as she emerges from the cave, supporting Frosta. Bow and She-Ra run towards her.
“So LONELY have I been here, in the frozen north, for Catra’s TRICKERY I was an easy mark! A day ago, she befriended me… but it has COST me DEARLY!” says Frosta, beginning to cry. Double Trouble holds her closer in support.
“Go on, tell her about the SNOW CAPE!” she urges.
“Foolishly, I GAVE my snow cape to Catra in exchange for her company! Inside the cape, there is a map that will lead her to the Blue Ice Diamond!” says Frosta, dripping tears.
“THE BLUE ICE DIAMOND! Catra will use the gemstone’s powerful magic to turn Etheria into a frozen wasteland FOREVER! We must STOP her!” says She-Ra, evidently horrified.
A yellow caption box reads, “With Frosta in the lead, She-Ra and her stalwart cohorts race across the Dreaming Mountain! But can they reach the Blue Ice Diamond in time?”
The Flutter Plane flies overhead while Double Trouble and Frosta (who has been mistakenly colored to look like She-Ra) ride in another vessel. It’s a sailing sledge (an iceboat meant for dry land) with an unstayed mast & single lateen sail, long and narrow in the style of a stereotypical viking ship, complete with an ornate figurehead of a bird of prey. The entire ship is a similar shade of green to Double Trouble, including the sail, which is feather-patterned. There are struts visible in later panels which confirm this is a sleigh and not a magical land-ship of some kind. The whole thing is reminiscent of the Sea Harp in shape, but that hasn't been designed yet.
End Page 7.
Page 8: A yellow caption box reads, “... or does Catra ALREADY hold Etheria’s fate in her grasp?” as Catra gloats over a gem, which glows a vivid green.
“CATRA!” shouts Frosta, now colored correctly, “HALT! Or I shall FREEZE you where you stand!” She climbs from the sailing sledge and brandishes her Snowflake Wand (which is really more of a staff).
“You’re TOO LATE Frosta… TOO LATE!” Catra calls back, lifting a faceted gem to her face as she smiles in evil glee.
End Page 8.
Page 9: “LOOK! Etheria’s bright daystar DIMS even as I speak, and a CLOAK OF DARKNESS SWEEPS THE LAND!” she yells, gesturing at what I think it’s safe to assume is a sun and not the planet Venus because it’s flipping huge, “Soon I shall rule FOREVER!”
“WHISSSSHHHH,” goes the Snowflake Wand, which now more resembles a scepter, then “ZZZAAA,” in a spidery, electric sort of style. Sparkles emerge from the wand and Frosta looks pretty pissed.
“--KRAKK!” finish the onomatopoeia, as we return to Catra, who’s surrounded by sparkles as the sun darkens behind her.
We zoom in closer to reveal she’s frozen solid, still cackling.
The focus shifts to the sun, now completely dark.
End Page 9.
Page 10: Frosta falls to her knees in despair, burying her face in her hands as Double Trouble tries to comfort her. In the background, the Flutter Plane lands and She-Ra leaps from within.
“Oh She-Ra, I have FAILED! There is NOTHING we can do to save Etheria from darkness… it’s all MY FAULT!” sobs Frosta as She-Ra lays a supportive hand on her shoulder.
She-Ra doesn’t respond immediately, trudging over to Catra as Bow reaches the sledge.
“Perhaps there is MORE to this blue ice diamond than meets the eye!” She-Ra says, plucking the gem from the frozen Catra’s grasp.
“BOW! Stand fast and make ready an arrow! I have an idea!” she calls back over her shoulder. Bow moves forward obediently. Frosta is still kneeling in the snow and Double Trouble’s still in the sledge.
End Page 10.
Page 11: “The SECRET of this gemstone’s POWER may lie WITHIN…” says She-Ra, setting the blue ice diamond atop a rock.
She lifts her sword. In this panel and the next, she’s shown with her inverted crown functioning as a mask. “... so, if we CRACK it…”
She brings the Sword of Protection down with a huge “SMASH!”
“... we can set its magic FREE!” she finishes, revealing that there was a second, smaller diamond inside the first diamond, matryoshka doll style. For some reason.
“Now, let your arrow FLY!” she says to Bow, as he ties this smaller diamond to an arrow. It glows a soft yellow. She-Ra’s crown is no longer a mask.
End page 11.
Page 12: Bow aims directly at the darkened sun.
We get a close-up of his face, deep in concentration, as he releases the arrow with a loud “SPUNGG!”
The arrow sails towards the sun.
Double Trouble, Frosta, and Bow look on. Bow lowers his bow.
The arrow disappears from sight, leaving only the darkness and the blotted daystar.
Double Trouble, Frosta, Bow, and She-Ra watch in silence.
The sun remains dark
End page 12.
Page 13: “BULL’SEYE!” hollers Bow, lifting his bow to the sky in jubilation as the sun goes “BUH WHOOM!” and begins emitting light once more. He slings a celebratory arm around Frosta’s waist, like he means to hug her but is just too excited about archery to bother.
Catra begins to defrost beneath the heat of the sun.
She comes to staring at her now-empty hand, startled and soaking wet from the melted ice, the snow cape falling from her shoulders. We see that beneath the snow, this was some kind of arid plain, which contradicts its earlier description as being the “Dreaming Mountain”, as the Dreaming Mountains are the home of Castle Chill (and thus, chilly) from Filmation.
“CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!” shouts Catra, sprinting into the distance.
End Page 13.
Page 14: “YOU’VE DONE IT! The daystar glows brighter than ever!” says Frosta, clapping her hands together in delight.
“Etheria is SAFE once more and I am FREE at last of Catra’s EVIL MAGIC!” she says, holding her snow cape over one shoulder like a jock with a letterman jacket.
“Yes—Etheria is SAFE and BEAUTIFUL once more!” says She-Ra, walking over to her.
“Bow, Double Trouble, time to go! The CRYSTAL CASTLE and NEW ADVENTURES await!” says She-Ra, looking over her shoulder to her friends.
“But WAIT! How can I ever REPAY your kindness? Perhaps my coat…?” says Frosta, holding the snow cape out to She-Ra as Double Trouble and Bow climb into the Flutter Plane.
“Fair Frosta—haven’t you learned a moral after all that’s happened? REMEMBER THIS!” says She-Ra:
“FRIENDSHIP can’t be bought or sold… it must come from the HEART! And from OUR hearts to YOURS—a friendship that’s EVERLASTING!” says She-Ra, in the traditional red text they use for morals. Everybody smiles at each other.
The End.

more losers swimming au richie headcanons...
richie's back is so fucked up. he's been swimming since he was seven and he's been a butterflyer since he was ten and you can see it in his posture.
the muscles in his shoulders are horrifically tight to the point that sometimes just touching his shoulders can cause him pain
he's pretty used to it though and he isn't typically even aware he's in pain. ben will remind him to straighten out his shoulders and ask him if his back is sore and he'll be like. oh wait. yeah you're right it does hurt.
he frequently bothers his friends into giving him massages. they'll be watching TV and he'll sit down on the floor in front of their legs and just whine until they give in lol
none of them know how to do massages though lol
he loves cracking his back when he's with eddie or stan. he'll just randomly twist where he's sitting and his back will make a horrible rice krispies noise and they'll be horrified and disgusted.
if he wants eddie to pay attention to him he'll just crack his back and eddie will whip around like "WAS THAT YOUR FUCKING BACK?????"
richie hates having wet hair. he loves getting his hair wet, that part is great, but being out of the water and having wet hair is one of the worst things in the entire world to him. but he starts putting it in a bun when it gets longer so it'll fit under his swim cap and having it up in a bun makes it not that bad
while we're on this actually, when richie started swimming he had short hair and could easily put his swim cap on, but when it got longer he couldn't figure out how to get his hair to stay in his cap so he had to get his friends to cap him <3333
OH ACTUALLY! okay um this is kind of hard to describe but theres this thing where person A will be in the water and person B will be standing on deck and person B flips a swim cap inside out and fills it with water and then drops it on person A's head and if the stars align it'll flip back to the way it's supposed to be AND be on person A's head (they do it at the 1:10 mark in this video if you're curious). so anyways, richie loves doing this to eddie. eddie will train without a cap since his hair is short and richie loves dropping a cap on his head when he's not looking. 99% of the time it doesn't work because eddie will notice him and spin around to see him and then it like falls off the side of his face. but like. that's also funny so.
richie always always smells like chlorine. like most swimmers smell like chlorine, but it just sticks to him more than others for some reason. it's way stronger on him than most people. he has had multiple people ask him "why do you smell like chlorine" when he's sitting next to them at school.
he loves the smell of chlorine though so it doesn't bother him lol
once he gets his license he's always bringing food to practices. it'll be like 9pm after practice and him and the rest of the losers are hanging out in the dark on the floor of the activity centre they train at eating donuts richie picked up
when he's younger his hair is awful, if you rub it between your fingers it'll make a sandpapery sound. but then when he's older and growing it out he starts buying fancy swimmer shampoo/conditioner and it makes his hair so nice lol. all of the losers are horribly offended that he has such good hair as a swimmer.
ACTUALLY. i know this is a richie post but. blonde hair eddie agenda... the chlorine lowkey bleached his hair and now at the wrong angle it looks green. he is deeply offended by this, especially since none of the other losers are suffering as he is.
richie's skin is so dry oh my god. he breaks out during the off season because his skin is naturally oily, but then he has the opposite problem during the swim season because his skin dries out so bad and it clears his acne but also his skin is so cracked and dry lol
a lot of swimmers have perpetual knee bruises that almost look faded? from getting out of the pool and banging their knees on the edge so frequently, but i think richie just bruises easily so his are not faded at all and he just constantly has very purple and green bruises on his knees from the pool.
big shouldered richie my beloved... he has massive swimmer shoulders and his wingspan is huge. eddie is normal about this.
richie helps coach the little kids at the club and he loves getting to shout (kindly, swimming pools are just loud) out instructions and the kids love him because he's always willing to get in the water and he plays games and tells jokes when they're waiting forever for their race at swim meets.
he is number one running hater, he hates it so bad and he thinks it's cruel and unusual, he has thrown up before after running stairs and it was awful and terrible. he considers ben and eddie to be traitors of the highest order for not only being good at running but liking it.
#i know this might come as a shock to you but guess whos back has been acting up again.#guy who can't stop projecting#richie tozier#it 2017#it 2019#it stephen king#it chapter 2#eddie kaspbrak#reddie#posts afflicted with a strange sickness#strange ramblings

Austin,Elvis x reader!
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: you have some insecurities after some "fan" girls trying to put you down in front of Elvis, he's just a lovely boy and trying to comfort you with all is love,
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: fluffy, a lot of love, self-Insecurities, insults.
This is my first story, if there are any grammatical errors please let me know, there will be other stories in the future and who knows if they will be more spicy than this✨🌶️
————————————————————————
You were in your apartment eating, You didn't seems so happy, maybe because when that evening you were out for shopping you You met some girls who followed you all the way you did, at first they were not so obvious, then they started throwing things at you and started looking like bullies from School, laughing and started talking bad and untrue things that were Visibly fake, all of This behind your back, literally.
At some point, you turned around and tried to always ask in a polite tone, even if you didn't know how to mantain your nerves calm, what had gone through they're head, they laughed and did nothing else. After a while then they walked away.
After going out with Elvis one day you were shocked by the crowd that every seconds stopped the two of you from going in a restaurant or in Another place that possibly was dedicated to a date, You Remembered that in that crowd were only fan girls.... Hysterical girls screaming and rattling in the presence of your boyfriend, except for some, 4 of them, the same ones you met today, were much calmer and after approaching Elvis you could feel eyes fixed on you, you tried not to get caught up in anxiety, you knew that it could be normal for someone to be jealous of the relationship you had with Elvis, but sometimes it was difficult not being able to destroy your bad feeling and your insicurities.
They were all around him, all 4, he was just happy like every day that he Meet new fans, he didn't think anything bad, he was just so glad with his fans that they were supporting him.
You started hear that they were "joking" about you, like how could he be with such a witch, fatty and you better be at home rather than walk down the Street with that kind of clothes, something like that. Elvis was in front of them sign autograph and when they were talking about you he would just staring at them with a fake smile, you could sense that he was tense about that comments, after a few minutes he bite his bottom lip and tried to act in a polite way, like always, at some point he could see you standing there behind the crowd, behind him that you were uncomfortable, and after all the kind of comments that they could tell he snapoed out:"listen here... If you have problem with my girl you have to say that, i dont want trouble, i dont know why you act like that but Im sure as hell that all of you are ridiculous, i dont Wanna hear another comment from your fucking mouth or else dont ever show up in front of my face again" he said in a calm tone but that could leave a sign on that girl's faces, and then he walked off from the crowd, you Heard everything and you didn't know how to react because he never did something like This in front of his fans. He took your hand and took you inside the restaurant, at one point he took your chin with his fingers to make you look into his eyes, and you could just let out a little gasp from the sudden contact.
You're faces were just 2 inches away from eachother, you could feel his Ocean blue eyes peering at you from top to bottom.
You felt butterflyes in your stomach.... You were on fire in that moment... And then he spoke:" darlin, i would never leave you, for no one!
You are the love of my life and will always be, i love you so much" he didn't even let you make a word that his lips were crushing in yours in a second, in a passionate kiss...his lips that were dancing with yours... you were happy, really happy... But in a little part of your dark mind you you felt something that would ruin you slowly...
You knew that Elvis loved you and you know that he didn't care about anybody else, he loved the way you looked the way you always treated him, he was so in love with you, but even after that fabulous day that he showed you who he really love, you could still feel that strange feeling in your stomach.
The words that every obsessed and jealous girl were always saying were now stuck in your little head.
"you are trash" "why he choose me? " "why me?" "am i ugly?" "He doesn't need me"
After that day with him, you always had unexpected "visits" from unwanted fan girls, who always tried to knock you down even with a Look.
So you were sitting In the kitchen and you were just feeling sick again and again. You didn't finish your plate, so you put it in the fridge and walked away from there and went in the bedroom, You felt your stomach burn and felt tears fall down your cheeks, you werent sure if you were sick for real or what.
You always loved Elvis but day by day, the time that passed all the things that you were hide,really destroyed you, You didn't want to make Elvis weigh this, you knew that he already had his problems to deal with for new songs and with the colonel, he never had a free moment, even if every time you saw him he showed you that he was you were always the first choice, the light of his life, he gave you everything you dreamed of, even if you knew that you didn't want to be annoying.
After a while you fell asleep, you tears were now Dry, and your pillow was a waterpool for how much you cried. You got up and all of a sudden you felt someone grabbing your shoulder "Aaahh!" you jumped out the bed and turn around immediatly just to see a tall figure with balck hair and a sad smile on his face.
"Elvis you scared me! Jeez... So how was work?" you said trying to sound normale as possible, but you failed, he know you too well to not notice your visible tears on your cheeks. "hey darlin... Are you alright? If you have something in mind you can te-" you stopped him "no no Elvis ehy its totally fine, i was just tired that's all" you said trying to put on a fake smile on your face "honey..." he said and slowly put both hands on your cheeks "honey i know something is on your mind, please tell me, Im so sorry i couldn't be home soneer, but now Im here, with you only you and me" he said trying to comfort you, but you didn't know how to tell him without sounding paranoid, and finally after staring back at him for.... You dont know how much, and he was just caressing your cheeks with his thumbs waiting for you to open up.
"i-i.... Elvis i.... I-i dont know Elvis.... Im afraid..." your voice was little and you were trembling he grab with one hand your waist and the other remain on your face "no no darlin hey look at me....why you're afraid?" he said in a gentle tone with his deep voice that could make you melt in any second, you take a deep breath and take all out "Elvis Im sorry, Im so sorry but.... I-Im afraid... That... You will choose someone else because you-you know there are other girls that-" he didn't let you finish "ehy ehy stop! Dont say such a stupid thing like that, i love you okey? You are thinking about that stupid girls dont you?....from the other day...?" he questioned and you nodded back "I fall in love with you for the first time that i put eyes on you, i love you and i would never leave you for someone like that okey? You have always been close to me in my time of need, you have always supported me from the beginning and I could not be happier than that, I thank you for everything darlin, you dont have to worry about anything because i will always love you, okey?"after that you didn't know what to say, you were full of Joy and love, you never realized how much you were lucky to have a man like him, youre eyes were expressing feelings that you couldn't understand, but you were finally happy again.
Then he gently pull you in a passionate kiss, youre body couldn't pull away, you don't want to tho, and the same thing him, you searched for each other in every breath you took, squeezed you closer and closer to him, you put your hand in his dark and now Messy hair... "i love you" he said with a huge grin, his face was full of passion, "i love you too" you said back with a big and shy smile...
You couldn't be so happy, you were so lucky.
————————————————————————
