Glimmer and Bow Need Therapy

A lot of people in this fandom talk about how Catra and Adora have a lot of trauma to work through but I’d like to elaborate on why I think some other characters have some serious baggage they need to deal with too.

Bow is a nervous wreck and stressed beyond belief. He’s always worried about everyone else and often puts their problems and issues before his own. This often leads to the unfortunate habit of bottling up his emotions (a lot like Adora tends to do), or at least his negative ones. His friends are also a hot mess, so he constantly has to deal with being the “responsible one”, or the mediator, or the “friendship guy”. For someone who’s really good at giving friendship advice and fixing other people’s problems, he doesn’t always practice what he preaches, not when it comes to his own well-being at least. He’s also not above lying, sneaking around, or omitting the truth, if he thinks it’ll protect others or spare their feelings even if it’s only a temporary solution. He also mildly struggles with needing to be needed or feeling helpless. It hurts when it feels like his friends can’t come to him for help because he wants to provide a safe place for them. He wants them to feel like they can open up to him, even though he struggles to do the same. When there’s tension in the group and he can’t seem to fix it (like in S4) he feels helpless, useless even. His friends also have a tendency to take him for granted or dismiss his advocacy for safety and caution leaving him to feel undervalued or underappreciated. He also has a bit of an inferiority complex considering he’s surrounded by powerful magical princesses and geniuses like Entrapta, Hordak, and his dads (and possibly his brothers) who he may never feel like he can measure up to. Lastly, he’s incredibly extraverted, which is why one of his biggest fears is inheriting his dads’ library; being left, all alone, in that big, empty building in the middle of the woods, for the rest of his life. Not to mention all the PTSD he (and everyone else) must have from all those near-death experiences and being a literal war veteran.

Glimmer as the show overtly states, deals with bouts of “crippling self-doubt mixed with overwhelming hubris”, i.e. her stubbornness and pride. An inferiority-superiority complex if you will. She also has a fuck ton of anger issues, grief, and trauma that she never quite learned how to or took the time to deal with properly. She often has trouble communicating how she’s feeling, especially when it’s negative, so it usually leads to nasty comments, aggressive actions, and forceful confrontations. She’s also a magical princess who was born in a time of war. From a young age she was given a lot of privilege, responsibility, and a great deal of expectations for her to meet. Her parents, one an immortal angelic queen and the other a powerful sorcerer and martyr of the Rebellion had cast these enormous shadows for her to live up to. All of that, in addition to the encroaching enemy that constantly threatened her loved ones’, her subjects’, and her plant’s safety, put her under a lot of pressure. That enemy would eventually take both her parents away from her leaving her an orphan. And in both instances she was helpless to do anything about it. She also had a lonely childhood. She’d only ever made a single friend in Bow, until she’d reached her late teens/early adulthood. Her mother was overprotective and, more often than not, would clip her wings rather than support and trust her. Along with unconventional powers and a disposition that never quite lived up to the standard of what a “typical” princess should be, this caused people to underestimate her. Therefore, she was left with the constant, often reckless, need to prove herself, so she could finally be taken seriously (a lot like Catra, in that regard). Not to mention the fact that she got kidnapped and held hostage, twice. She’s endured psychological manipulation, physical torture, and emotional isolation. She was thrust into a position of power and authority she was in no way ready for; Forced to fight her chipped father; And deal with the overwhelming guilt of how the worst decision she ever made (when backed into a corner) nearly doomed the planet and cost hundreds of people their homes, their freedom and even their lives!

So basically, nobody in the best friend squad, or even in the whole princess alliance is ok. They’ve each dealt with a lot, and I just think all of them deserve the chance to be happy and healthy. Which is why I think they all need some therapy.

Shout out to @tippenfunkaport, @baggebythesea, @foolforshera and more for their fantastic and insightful writing about my beloved spop characters. Especially, Glimmer and Bow.

Person: You know, sometimes I wonder if I really deserve my life.

Cane: What, you mean your life like...your very existence? Yeah, I think you can cross that off your list of things to worry about. You and anyone else wondering that kind of thing. You, at the very least, fundamentally deserve the right to exist.

Michelle: Well, in my case, that's debatable.

Cane: Am I going to have to worry about you?

Michelle: You might.

Glimbow x Consent

Glimmer took so long to understand that her feelings for Bow were mutual mainly because he never acted on them. He never tried to kiss her, never cuddled her when they slept next to each other, never asked to hold hands, anything!

Which would have been fine if she didn't know that Bow's main love language was physical affection. He loved giving hugs and comforting others, no matter who it was, horde soldier or rebellion member. He was kind and seemed to have no boundaries for his own personal space, most of the time.

Glimmer, on the other hand, tried to act on her feelings, but she doesn't know how to show love in the normal way. For her, love is about freedom, quality time, that sort of thing. And she does that a lot with Bow already so it's not like she didn't try to tell him about her feelings. She was just afraid of being rejected and winding up alone, all over again.

And after the battle, when they were finally letting out all they had been thinking about each other, Bow asked "Can I kiss you?"

Glimmer was too flustered at the moment to think straight. Her thoughts were all on Bow, Bow's face, Bow's lips, Bow's hair, Bow's eyes, Bow's blushed cheek, Bow's lips. Oh, Bow's lips got her attention the most, and so, she whispered "Yes" back to him and they kissed.

Only after a few days did Glimmer start being weirded out by Bow. They kissed a lot. A lot. A lot a lot, like, making up for all the years they knew each other and didn't kiss.

And yet, before every kiss, every single kiss, Bow asked if he could kiss Glimmer. He didn't miss one chance to ask her permission, and while at first it seemed sweet it just got old. Boring. Glimmer wanted to be taken by surprise with a big kiss from behind, or in the middle of a conversation, perhaps in between meetings so she could feel some adrenaline.

But Bow wasn't like that. He always had to ask, taking away that element. So she tried to make it happen for herself.

Bow was making his bed when he saw her walk in and his face lit up "Hey, Glimmer! I didn't know you were up already."

Glimmer's hands suddenly got sweaty, and so did her forehead. Her knees were wobbly and she felt her heart thumping harder while she walked up to him. There was no reason to be nervous, he was her boyfriend after all. He loved her, she knew that.

It just felt weird taking the first step. Admitting you want affection, committing to that action with the likely reality that you could be turned down, or seen as needy. It was scary to show what you cared about enough to work for it and make it happen.

She got on her toes, nonetheless, and went to kiss Bow, closing her eyes shut, trying to get rid of the nerves going through her mind once and for all. If she did it quickly enough, she'd feel more comfortable, and then she could kiss him again and again and again.

But his lips never crashed into hers. Instead, his hands went up to her arms, a little above the elbow and slightly pushed her back onto her heels. Glimmer didn't understand what was happening, but it felt like her heart was fracturing in pieces, yet still tumping on her ribcage. She opened her eyes and saw Bow's face, equal parts flustered, worried, and confused. He was leaning back, leaning away from Glimmer. Her head spun with shame, and a little flame lit up inside of her.

"Glimmer, what was that? Are you ok?"

"Yes! Of course it is! I just wanted to kiss my boyfriend" Glimmer said, a little harshly while getting up on her tiptoes again.

Bow pushed her back once again "You seem upset. You walked in here with a serious face, barely smiled." he cocked his head to the side, raising one of his eyebrows.

Glimmer rolled her eyes "It's nothing, I just wanted to kiss you" her voice was steady, her eyes were determined, but her cheeks were heavily blushed and burning hot. Her face was probably the same shade of pink of her hair right there and then.

Bow laughed "Well, if that's all you wanted you could've just asked."

You could've just asked.

Asked.

Glimmer's inner fire went out of control "But what if I don't want to ask?!"

Bow's hands shot away from her arms and his light aura changed to a worried one. It seemed like his natural state, always worrying about others.

"What do you mean?"

"I just wanted to surprise you with a kiss! I don't need to ask everytime if I can kiss you just like you don't have to ask me! We're boyfriend and girlfriend, that's part of being in a relationship!"

"But what's wrong with having consent?"

Glimmer groaned "Sometimes, it's sweet. Other times I just want to be surprised, ok? And asking if I want it ruins that."

Bow furrowed his eyebrows "I'm not going to stop asking for consent, Glimmer. Just because we're dating doesn't mean we're entitled to each other. Just because I'm your boyfriend doesn't mean I get to kiss you whenever I want. It's when we both want it."

"Yes I- I'm sorry I didn't mean to say I was entitled to your kisses or anything but- I always want to kiss you, so just stop asking."

Bow glared at her "I'm not sure."

Glimmer was a step away from him and still felt far from him, she didn't understand how he was thinking, which was crazy because she knew him for so long she practically lived inside his mind. She knew how he worked, thought, and acted. But this was destroying her thought process, so she just stayed quiet, awkwardly rubbing her elbow.

"I have that meeting in a few minutes, I guess... I guess I'm gonna go."

Bow looked at her with sympathy "Have a good meeting" and went right back to making his bed.

Glimmer's meeting was not exactly a meeting. It was more of a therapy session thing. Adora and Bow insisted she started attending those after all that had happened, since Angela died and her dad came back. She tried to act happy and upbeat like before but sometimes she couldn't. It weighed her down, and filled her with nothingness. Yes, she had her friends to support her, but it would never replace her mother.

Some sessions were harder than others. And this one was harsh. She left the room trying to hold it all in, thanking the therapist for their time and going back to her room so she could cry, hug her pillow and go to sleep.

She opened her door and Bow was sitting on the edge of her bed. He looked up, saying immediately "I've been thinking about what you said and... Oh." he looked at her face, with her red shot eyes and trembling lips "That bad?"

"Bow, not right now, I just want to be in bed." her voice cracked and Bow's throat went dry as he stood up. He couldn't stand to see other people cry, much less Glimmer.

"Can I give you a hug?"

"No, Bow, I just want to lie down!"

He looked more pained than hurt by her words "Is there anything you want me to do?"

"No!" she screamed out. He stared at her and then started walking towards the door and her mind started racing.

She didn't want Bow to hold her, she couldn't stand it when people touched her when she was in that state. She needed to feel like she was in control of her surroundings and herself. Being touched felt incredibly offsetting and confusing, and she didn't need that then. But she did need Bow.

"Wait. Don't leave." she didn't think he'd just leave the room. Just because she said she didn't want to hug him.

"Do you want me to stay here by your side?"

"Yes."

"But I can't hug you."

"No."

"Kiss you?"

"No."

"Hold your hand?"

Glimmer hesitated. She remembered how her father would hold her hand when she was little and was going through anxiety attacks. How her mother did it after Micah disappeared. Even though touch felt wrong to her in that situation, somehow, someone holding her hand always felt like an anchor to reality. So, she said "Yes."

They said nothing more as Glimmer got in her bed and was covered by the comforter by her loving partner. She held her hand out across the mattress where Bow layed down on, facing the ceiling so Glimmer didn't feel pressured by his eyes on her. He held her hand on his chest, and she felt it in her hand his steady heartbeat and rising and falling chest.

She started to weep, gripping Bow's shirt tightly. She tried to calm down but her thoughts were running through her head so fast she couldn't stop them. So her tears just kept coming out.

Bow looked at her, worried, and reached a hand for her shoulder, slowly pulling her against him. He was trying to hold her, but that was too much touching, too much for the already overloaded system that was Glimmer's body and mind. She shook against it and whispered "No."

Bow let go of her and sighed, still holding onto her hand. So that's what they did for the next half hour. Glimmer cried and Bow cradled her hand in his chest.

After a while, she started to calm down. Her eyes and nose were red, but she could finally breathe easily without thoughts intruding into her mind with no control. She started to get up, slipping her sweaty hand away from Bow as she settled against the head of the bed, crossing her legs and hanging her head down. Bow sat crossed-leg too, in front of her.

"Thank-"

"I'm sorr-"

They tried to speak at the same time and chuckled. Glimmer nodded her head for him to go first and he exhaled loudly.

"I'm sorry, for trying to hug you in bed after you said no. Sometimes I don't know what you need, and I don't want to do something wrong, so that's why I usually ask. But you were so keen on me surprising you and not asking so I thought I'd give it a try because I thought that's what you needed." shame started to seep into his voice, making it crack" I though you'd want a hug in that moment, but you didn't and I'm sorry" his lip trembled and he started rubbing his eyes, who seemed to barely be holding in some tears.

"No, Bow. You were right, you should ask, so I'm sorry. I should be more like you, respect your boundaries and tell you about mine."

"But you were right too" Bow said "sometimes you just want to be surprised, not asked. But how can I do that if I don't ask to know what you need from me?"

"I don't know," Glimmer sighed "but we can figure that out together. Maybe we could have a code for when we're in the mood." Bow chuckled "Or one of those stuffed animals that are reversible and represent your mood."

"You literally have magic powers and you're talking about a reversible stuffie" Bow laughed while sniffing and running his wrist under his nose.

"Well, at least I'm having ideas! I don't hear you making any suggestions" Bow laughed out loud, making Glimmer follow his example. It felt freeing, after all the crying she had done.

Bow looked at her intently and then at their hands. She nodded and they held each other's hand, scooting closer, staring into each other's eyes.

"May I kiss you, Bow?"

He smiled from ear to ear "You may"

i think some people like to think that the bfs’s trauma has just sorted its self out after they got together. i honestly think that this is a very skewed perspective on how trauma brain works, (and i am no means a therapist or anything) but starting relationships during therapy or the traumatic event can often slow down the healing process.

but, after this is said, how do you think glitra/glitradora could work post canon?

I don't begrudge anyone their happy ending kisses, especially when the entire story is so focused around relationships. I mean, it's not like Catra's relationship to either Adora or Glimmer started in the end of the story. Her relationship with Glimmer started at latest in the beginning of season 5 (and I like to think it started earlier than that) and her relationship with Adora lasted the entire show in all its ups and downs.

I'm not a therapist either, but from a narrative point of view Glitra and Catradora have kinda opposite dynamics from Catra's perspective, and I think that would play into how the trauma treatment unfolded.

Adora was Catra's childhood friend (and crush) and rock and a future with Adora was pretty much the full extent of Catra's ambitions as a kid. Everything else in life was horrible, but Adora made it all worth it.

and then Adora left.

after everything that happened in the show, everything Catra did and had done to her, all character growth that was dragged out of her during duress... to finally, finally be together with Adora - for her and Adora to finally have become the people who can be together - that is such a triumph, such a mark of recognition that - yes - Catra can be worthy of love, worthy of the happy future she imagined as a child and such a middle finger to the nagging voice (sounding suspiciously like Shadow Weaver) that tells her otherwise.

But it's also a constant reminder of how much they had to work for that happy ending, how long way they both had to go from the starting point for it to happen, how far from their happy future they actually were when they were children in an abusive system.

Glimmer, on the other hand, was emotionally safe for Catra. She couldn't leave Catra for the rebels because she already was with the rebels. She wouldn't call Catra a 'bad friend' because they weren't friends. Their relationship (however you want to play it in a specific story), as it grows over the seasons is just for funsies. No demands. No sticky feelings. Just fur and spark flying.

and then they get stuck in space together and suddenly Sparkles is literately all Catra got. Oooops.

and we have that marvelous force field scene where they talk and bond and grow together as a couple (platonic or sexual or romantic, whichever you prefer), and then suddenly Catra is prepared to sacrifice her life to get Glimmer to safety and when Adora suggests going back for Catra, Glimmer hesitates for exactly zero seconds before she's fully committed to run back to the place she just escaped with the slimmest of plans for the chance saving their cat.

I feel that in addition to excellent chemistry and much needed challenge, Catra and Glimmer give each other even more needed validation. They see a large portion of themselves in the other - both parts they like and hate. When Glimmer is unsecure about being queen, she sees Catra claiming the throne of the Horde by sheer power of asskickery. When Catra cries about being a bad friend, at least she can comfort herself with Double Trouble's report about Adora and Glimmer shouting at each other. If Glimmer is a bad friend too, then it's not only Catra who's broken.

I think if you write Catra and Glimmer as a couple after the show, one possible direction would be for them to revert to their most bratty behaviour and trying to slink away from processing feelings. a bit of a "we're both trash, we can be trash together" mentality, rather than trying to improve.

With Adora, Catra wouldn't have that option. The very fact that they are together is a constant reminder of how hard they have worked - and have to work - to stay that way.

Or to put it much simpler - for Catradora to work they have to put in work in the beginning of the relationship not to get stuck in the kind of situation they were in for most of the show. For Glitra to work, they would have an easy start but would have to put in a lot of work not to get stuck in a rut. You can see their time in the space ship as them starting that process.

Adora is Catra's Betty, and Glimmer her Veronica, if you will :-)

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BettyandVeronica

If you add Glimmadora to the mix, Glimmer and Adora are each other's Betty with Catra as Veronica for both of them (and if you add Glimbow, Glimmer has two Betties).

Compare and contrast Catra's relationship potential with Scorpia and Double Trouble, who both offered her what she desperately needed but would never accept - a way out. Most obvious in the Crimson Waste where Scorpia straight up told Catra that she could stay there with her and be happy, but Catra's trauma wouldn't let her.

(Obviously this is not the only way to write their relationship dynamics, but this is the way I like to see them).

Possible plot points for a She Ra movie:

Bringing magic back to the universe + bestfriend squad roadtrip

Having Micah and the bestfriend squad find a way to bring Angella back

Finding Catra's family (my headcanon: and finding out they aren't great people and having to fight them)

Learning more about the First Ones and maybe even finding a small colony

Group Therapy!

Bestfriend Squad Shenanigans

Scorfuma and Seamista double date

Glimbow and Catradora double date

Bestfriend Squad acknowledging and confronting Adora on her self-sacrificing behaviors

The final scene being all of them looking like they did in Adora's wish but this time they all have kids or even just one of the pairs getting married.

I just want them happy.

Is there anything you guys can think of that would be good for a She Ra movie if we got one?

Why, to me, Adora didn't solve her trauma. Or at least, it was supposed to be only about that. Spoiler: anti Catradora and anti Glimbow. Please, this are just my opinions. Don't wish my death. These ships are canon anyways so yhhhh you won, ok? Everything is fine 🌈

Yh, I'm doing this very depressing, very akward and inappropriate post at last. With of course, a lot of self-centered story nobody wants to hear because I need examples to explain emotions. Hi.

So. I don't hate Catra. I vibe with her a lot. But I can't stand when people erase Adora's trauma saying Catra's was worse. Everyone has the right to experience their own sorrow. Pain is a subjective feeling.

I was always the Catra while my sister was the Adora. I was the nd who needed to go to the psychotherapist causing my family to spend money, not to mention other healt problems. My sister doesn't even wear glasses. I took three attempts to get a stupid car license and still have panic attacks when I need to drive. My sister is a talented pilot. I was more good at school than her, but she was always better at living. And you can't change that with anything.

Still, I never hated her. Nor was I jelous. I awlays loved her and will always do. We are very different but we balance eachother. You may think that she got it easy. She didn't.

My parents are amazing. And I love them, they never raised a hand on me. But it was hard. It's hard to love a kid everyone depicts as "creepy", "not normal". But they did.

I watched the episode with Catra and Adora's childhood flashback with my sister. We had goosebumps. Before that I believed I was the only one suffering, while in reality I wasn't. It's not easy being the "golden child", "the normal one" either. My sister was so used to being referred as "the non weird one" that she developed a very closed personalty. She is a ray of sunshine, always smiling, but she won't tell anyone if she is feeling bad. She has to be perfect. She has to be all right all the time. I tell her to open up, at least with me, but it's not easy.

Trauma can have many faces. And honestely I blame myself I lot for having caused this to her. If only my parents weren't so focused on me and my so many problems that started since the day I was born (so far I risked to die at least 4 times) they wouldn't have had so much stress. They would have focused more on my sister. We talked about this and she says it's not my fault and honestely after so many years I want to believe her.

Adora has a post traumatic response. She has a martyr syndrome so strong she even feels that sacrifing herself is the normal course of actions. "You deserve love too" means that you also deserve to be heard. Your feelings matter.

Now. *Sighs*. I don't hate Catra, but I don't like Catradora at all.

Another sad story.

I never liked in my life the troupe of the "best friends" who grow up togheter and are supposed to be soulmates. I don't believe in destiny. There's no superior order in life.

I know there are many cute and real stories of couples who start and end togheter. Honestely some years ago I would have felt envious of them, now I fell like the freest of birds.

I had a childhood friend. He was born exately 20 days before me and, since our mothers were best friends, those were the only days in our first 10 years of life we were apart. We grow up togheter like brothers. Of course (of course, because eh you know, hormons, not destiny or whatever) we ended up having a relationship when little.

I didn't have so many friends and he made sure of that. He isolated me from everyone. He was possessive and mean. He was aggressive and now that he is old he is even a racist, sovranist, fascist, sexist and lots of other amazing qualities.

He was my first good diagnosis. Cushing syndrome. So yh, even if I'm super short he is shorter than me due to the therapy he has to endure. (By the gods, I generally don't mind physical appereance, I've even recentely found out I'm panromantic so yh, I don't care about gender either... but dam, can I have a partner taller than me? It's not even difficult.) Honestely, sickness apart...he is not so very good looking. Neither was I when little, I was very chubby. With the difference that I still saw beauty in him, but he never did. He mocked me with his friends. He said things like "If I don't love you who ever would? I've known you for so long, that's the reason why I tolerate you". I always stood by his side when people bullied him for his frail body structure or because he couldn't swim (which in Sicily it's almost a disability). He never did the same for me.

We broke up badly. I wasn't the one who left him but anyways. We don't even say hello to eachother.

I know by some relatives of his (who adored me) that is he depressed and lonely now.

It's... hard. Not to care for him. I know I shouldn't, I don't even want to. But the sentiment is there. I was never enough for him while he was everything for me. I don't love him, I would say I even hate him (and to make me hate someone you really must work very hard). But...hate is an emotion too right?...the point is that he will forever be a part of me. Even if I wish we never met in the first place.

Anyways.

I don't have positive opinions on Glimbow either. I love Glimmer but dam she is possessive. I like Bow but he should have been more true with his feelings and not end up with her only to please her. Choose Sea Hawk or Perfuma.

In a childhood relationship platonic love, habit, hormons, friendship meld togheter in a ...peculiar way. But let's be honest, we change with aging. We are not mature, we are not sensitive enough. Polite enough when little. We are not aware enough.

I'm monogamus yes, but at least sexually speaking. In reality you should have experiences. Know other people to know yourself better.

It, again, may be my bad and traumatic relationship speaking. But said relationship never gave me positive personal growth. It was rather toxic.

Adora, dear. Humanity is not lost. But you can't save everyone. Not by risking your own happiness. Caring for somebody deeply and having sexual attraction for them...isn't enough. And you too Catra. Let it go, there are people out there (cough cough Scorpia) who can and will give you the world if only you let them. Give others a chance. Maybe you are not in love with a person, but with the memory and the idea you had of them. People change, it's not theirs or your fault.

People leave and you don't own them.

Lastly yes, I will put the Entrapdak tag. Really not for visibility, I have more feet than followers (no, I'm not an octopus monster) and honestely I don't give a fuck. (Yhh mean Floxy). I'm just here to say emberassing things and be a stupid fucking nerd.

*inhales*.

Entrapdak=the love of my life. The relationship between two adults. Two people who didn't know eachother and passed puberty (...Hordak baby, you there?) a LONG time ago.

Two people who reason with their minds and not entirely with their hormons. I'm clapping while typing.

No drama, no doubts. I could talk for hours but honestely this no sense is already a pain in the gut of everyone who reads so far.

For the "send me a character" thing - would you do Catra, Glimmer, and Adora?

Catra

First impression: Oh, I liked her from the start. And the instant she refused to tell Shadow Weaver where Adora was, I knew she was going to be one of my faves.

Impression now: My baaaaby. My fave. She’s a complex character who obviously does a lot of bad stuff, but also really works to improve.

Favorite moment: The entire episode of Corridors. She has nothing to gain but she still saves Glimmer!

Idea for a story: this is going to be the same for all of them, pretty much: Post war adventures with the BFS where she has a lot of fun

Unpopular opinion: She wasn’t forgiven too easily. It makes sense that the people who forgave her did so. She literally sacrificed herself for Glimmer, of course the BFS was going to forgive her. Entrapta doesn’t hold grudges. Scorpia uses “I give great hugs” as one of her defining traits. As far as everyone else? They don’t really forgive her. They just have too much on their plates to waste their time demonizing someone who’s already on their side

Favorite relationship: I need more episodes of the super pal trio hanging out

Favorite headcanon: she gets a lot of therapy after the war

Glimmer

First impression: “Why are we suddenly hanging out with this random person? give me back Adora and Catra!”

Impression now: she’s great and I love her

Favorite moment: Any time she’s like “chaaaaarge”.

Idea for a story: post war. she doesn’t really know how to rule a kingdom during peace time. She leaves a lot of her queenly duties to her dad and leaves with the rest of the BFS because she’s hesitant to lead. She does eventually work things out and returns to Etheria with Bow before Catradora does.

Unpopular opinion: I would have been fine with Glimbow not being canon

Favorite relationship: Bow. Their friendship gives me life

Favorite headcanon: her mom isn’t dead and is rescued

Adora

First impression: “Gifted child who’s scared of letting people down? How relatable.”

Impression now: “Gifted child who’s scared of letting people down? How relatable.”

Favorite moment: My favorite Adora moment is actually Catra’s worst moment. Glithced!Catra is all like “this is your fault!” and Adora is like “no, actually, it’s not.” Yes, baby. I love that. She puts so much weight on her shoulder and tries to put so much blame on herself, but at that moment was not willing to take Catra’s shit.

Idea for a story: Post war. On the BFS trip, she learns about the First One’s shady past.

Unpopular opinion: This has more to do with Catradora then Adora herself, but: It was a good thing that Catra left when Adora became super self-destructive. She needs someone in her life to ask her what she wants and not what she thinks she needs to do.

Favorite relationship: Catra. But also Mara! I hate time travel, but I’d make an exception to see them interact

Favorite headcanon: Adora is a descendant of Horde Prime’s family. (I am still convinced that Horde Prime is a First One)

Thanks for the ask!

same anon, i don't ship catradora. I just don't like the idea of Glimmer dating his mother's killer and Adora's abuser. An apology is not going to return Glimmer's mother also,what Catra needs is therapy and someone to help her if we go through canon I think the best option is Bow, I think he can understand her and help her improve since Glimmer and Catra are quite similar.

P.S.. catra and glimmer's personalities together form an interesting dynamic and I like it only in AU,fic but if we go with canon I don't like it, the same thing happens with catradora, I only like it in fic in canon I Hate It.I would have preferred that catra ended up alone, a romance was not necessary in her redemption

You make a good point. At first, I was sceptical about why people would like glitra, especially regarding canon. I didn’t like glitra because Catra’s apology was so lacking. She’d killed Angella, who was just forgotten after season 4. The whole issue with spop is time, or rather, the lack of it and how badly it was used.

Catra needed more time for an effective redemption arc, a good amount of time for Glimmer to forgive her, if she wanted to, that is.

See, I didn’t think Glimmer was given much choice in the matter. Many characters weren’t given a choice if they wanted to forgive Catra or not. How could they? How dare they get in the way of the true and genuine love between Catra and Adora? How dare they hold grudges and have realistic reactions to a former fascist joining their ranks?

Glitra works because of the shared trauma and understanding between the two of them. They’ve both been used, and “left behind”. They have an understanding. But yeah; au glitra is the healthiest form of glitra, an au where there can be genuine apologies, therapy, and actual time for a relationship to form.

I sort of agree with glimbow. Kind of?? I can’t deny that it is very sweet, and there isn’t anything wrong with them. Idk I just think that platonic glimbow is better. But romantic glimbow 🥺

Glimmadora 01!

When I started Shipping it: definitely after the first season but if i had to pick a moment? ... probably the hot springs episode 😂. I mean, Glimmer was my favorite character IMMEDIATELY, so when I saw that, i just knew I was gonna be waaay too invested in them

My thoughts: Too many for one post!

What makes me happy about them: EVERYTHING ASDFGHFGHJ. I just think they balance each other out, and they care more about each other than themselves (which hurts, get some therapy girls) and they just would do anything for each other.

What makes me sad about them: ............................. *points to season five*. I really, really wish that their conflict from season four had paid off in some way. I think... they should’ve realized what they meant to each other. Even if they didn’t end up together, i don;t think there’s anyway to deny that they loved each other in some form. And that they didn’t wanna hurt each other anymore.

things done in fanfic that annoys me: There’s not much tbh. I guess... well, whenever people write/draw Glimmer skinny/pale, but thats not really a glimmadora thing so...

Things I look for in fanfic: happy endings, fluff, completely adoring wives that love each other OR the most heart wrenching angst and sorrow you’ll ever read. There is very little in between 😂

Who I’d be comfortable with them ending up with, if not each other: I don’t mind Glimbow tbh. I spent the whole show thinking they were just best friends so them ending up together did give me whiplash, but honestly? Pure supportive babies who love each other. For Adora... not catra. Literally anyone but Catra. Unless it’s glitradora I really can’t get behind catradora much at all.

My happily ever after for them: I’m working on it! For now though, Im just gonna summarize the first chapter of my fic Cut The Rope and Let Me Fall: they are happily together, Glimmer is a kickass Queen and Adora knows it, they’re both getting some therapy for their issues, and they love each other more than just about anything. ;;;-;;;

Big/Little Spoon: Depends! If Glimmer has wings, then she has to be the big spoon because otherwise she’s gonna break Adoras nose. If not, then you best believe that I will wholeheartedly consume any kind of content in which Adora snuggles her fierce and adorable girlfriend to sleep every night.

What is their favorite non-sexual activity: hmmm this is pure headcanon but after Glimmer gets her wings they like to race (with Adora on Swift Wind), or maybe they just go for long trips on Swifties back (maximum cuddle time)

Thank you for the ask!

Okay. She-Ra. Let me just put down some chaotic, random thoughts. I’ll miss a lot of a stuff but-

CATRADORA!! At the beginning I didn’t think I’d end up loving it as much as I do now, I was kinda torn between some different She-Ra ships (Catra/Scorpia for example, but that got washed away in one of the seasons), but BOI. I was so happy. That whole last season had me !!!!!!!!!!! THEYRE LESBIANS HAROLD

Glimbow was a little more of a surprise, but it’s not out of nowhere and they are really precious. Their confession scene was precious, too. I would’ve loved them as best friends, but I can also stan them as couple. I mean... The ball thing in the first (?) season kinda started to give hints already

Mermista and Seahawk were pretty much teased from the beginning but I never really knew if I liked it or not.... Probably bc I rly love Mermista and want her to be rly gay bc I’m rly gay but I also never really stanned Mermista and Perfuma so HMMM. I... kinda learned to appreciate Merhawk, though. The last season just did so many things right. And them with a piratey aesthetic? Amazing.

on that topic though, my initial thought after Seahawk’s first appearance was ‘chaotic bisexual energy’. He’s bi as hell and at least that dude with longer hair and the eye patch in that one undercover episode was his ex boyfriend, no discussions. Mermista is also bi. Merhawk is a powerful, chaotic bi couple.

Bow? also a chaotic bi or pansexual

Bow is precious af and so are his dads btw. God!!! I was so happy when his dads got introduced like whaaaat!! And then we also saw a pic of Scopria’s moms in one ep and just?? YES.

glad that Netossa and Spinnerella got more screen time tbh. They are so wholesome and we finally got to see how powerful they can be, too! They had so many good moments in the last season, we stan

I’m not..... really a fan of Frosta (sorry!!) but Micah trying to bond with her bc he feared that Glimmer might not like him was really precious and funny. Micah is a really nice character anyway, I also dig his abilities and his character design

Scorfuma is a ship I never thought about a lot but.... it’s cute. They will be so wholesome together, so sweet, so much POSITIVITY!!!!

Scorpia’s dkjsfj singing scene???? GLAMOROUS. We stan a scorpion queen. She’s so gorgeous and so sweet.

actually the whole undercover episode was a blessing. Mermista in a suit and a hat?? I died a little. Scorpia and Perfuma looked really pretty, too.

WRONG HORDAK. he was probably one of my fav things of the new season. he’s so fucking precious omg and some scenes were so funny. such a good addition, and he deserves happiness.

Melog..... is so cute, too. Therapy cat!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!

look, Shadow Weaver, though. She really deserves appreciation as a character. I’m not saying that she’s good; no - she’s egoistic and manipulative. But she’s a damn good and interesting character and she went out with a bang. I felt really torn about this scene and I was a little shocked also, but really, it was perfect, actually. I won’t ramble about her character here now, but yanno

Adora’s new She-Ra transformation. It was even better than the other one and the outfit and hair style are so much better, too!!! Basically, I was Catra when Adora did her transformation she watched her do it. Yep.

I really love Mara (and GOSH she’s SO pretty!!!!) and I would’ve loved to see more of her again, but yea djakfwf

the Adora’s dream of the future scene must be one of my faves.... The lightning, the designs, the playful nature.... IM CRY. Glimmer’s new hair style????? Bow’s hair style???? Adora and Catra’s matching outfits and Catra’s ponytail? UGGHH.

I didn’t care so much about Horde Prime as a character, but actually, basically.... he’s the type of villain I rly like? Cold, well-spoken, calculating, a lil charming, ruthless? Ah, yea. Good concept.

STARLA. I almost forgot about Starla omgggg. The three siblings in general?? Their designs were cool, their fighting styles, too. I would’ve loved to see more of them!!

this show in general somehow managed to make me cry easily and often and about the smallest things - I don’t know how it did that, but it was/is a thing. god.

EMOTIONS

the finale was just so good, so perfect, so many feelings..... There’s so much chaos in my thoughts and heart about it, but in a very positive way

there are just so many details that I could ramble about, but this post would get so damn long. so many good scenes.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

#cryin................#she ra #shera #Sel's talking #honestly dkwjqef #so much to think about #so many small things too #this post is just very basic #she ra spoilers #shera spoilers
