#its 6am and im writing catradora meta.. this is just my life now

ive hinted at this idea before but i just, i always believed catradora’s reconciliation was going to be about them finding their way back to the dynamic they had as kids.

in Promise when adora called octavia a “dumbface” just to throw her lot in with catra. the essence of the promise itself, “as long as we have each other.” in 5x03 when catra misses dinner and adora’s like “okay then i am, too!” even with scars still fresh on her face. its like... when they were just kids... when things were simple between them before shadow weaver got in their heads...... love was just, if you’re hurting, then i’m hurting too. where you go, i go. isnt that all love really is anyway ?

we see this theme again when adora jumps off the ledge after catra with no idea if she’d survive. when catra jumps into fire for her, when she decides to sacrifice herself alongside her. idk why the gravity of catras words in 5x12 is just now hitting me where she was like “i made a promise to adora a long time ago that i’d look out for her and it’s time i made good on it.” i think i used to read it as them saying they’d always protect each other, but really it was more about just.. being with each other. catra choosing to stand by adora’s side, to either live or die with her.. it was their promise. “nothing really bad can happen as long as we have each other.” adora had never given up on it and now catra’s faith was restored in it too. and it was finally fulfilled when their kiss saved the world.

this is what i was talking about when i said she-ra sends a message that lesbian love is pure and innocent because their love story is inextricably linked to their childhood. their romance literally is their childhood dynamic!!!! THIS SHOW IS SO IMPORTANT
