In one of the discord servers I’m in, here was a conversation on the princesses wearing the fashion of whichever kingdom they were visiting, albeit in their usual colors/with their own flair.
So naturally I had to draw Chanti in some alt dresses.

STEM SISTER SCUFFLE: ROUND 2 MASHUP 8
Raphella La Cognizi (The Mechanisms) vs Entrapta Princess of Dryl (Netflix She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Raphella La Cognizi is an... Everything Scientist! (people said "all sciences"... also she loves magnets)
Entrapta Princess of Dryl is a Roboticist, Programmer and First Ones' Tech Historian/Archaeologist!
Why you should vote for each contestant:
Raphella La Cognizi:
"All of them, probably, focused on chemistry and biology if I had to guess. She's the science officer of the Mechanisms, a band of immortal space pirates. They regularly blow up planets for fun. Raphaella designs them better bombs, tortures poor captives, tortures and vivisects her crewmates, etc. I love her also"
"it's unclear--she's a mad scientist archetype more than anything! she does, however, really like magnets. she's an immortal space pirate. she possibly made herself immortal. she's autistic To me. i love her so much. as cruel and brutal as she is... science!"
"everything? the more unethical the better, although she does really like magnets. Immortal space pirate! so she's got all the time in the universe to do science. until she dies, of course, which happens when (spoilers) she decides to fly beyond the event horizon of a black hole to find out what's on the other side. She's the science officer on her starship, which is just a badass job in general, and she's got WINGS. the wings are mechanical and the reason she's immortal. we don't know for certain if she was born with wings and they were replaced, or if she just went "wings sound fun!" and built some, or much of anything about her backstory. But! speculation is rife and there is a nonzero chance she's immortal because she experimented on herself, which is fun. Also she's just *really pretty*, ok, and has the voice of an angel. She is as cruel and brutal as she is science."
"shes immortal she has time to do all the sciences. well. she does die after like 10 millennia but even that is a final science project! she throws herself into a black hole, maybe to die, maybe to learn something new :) your honor i love her"
"SHES IMMORTAL SHES A MURDERER SHE DOES EXPERIMENTS ON HER IMMORTAL CREWMATES SHE LIKES MAGNETS SHES ***GAY*** shes my beloved"
Entrapta Princess of Dryl:
"She builds robots!!! She's curious and inquisitive!! She loves her robots!! She has the coolest hair and also I want to be her bestie. She's an absolute love"
"autism :)"
"Builds robots and computers for fun and companionship. Can take apart and understand almost any tech she is presented with. Autism lever set to max and I love her. Mandatory boob window in all her outfits and I've never related harder to a character."
"autistic icon, amazing inventor and app round excellent character"
"she has prehensile hair it’s literally the best thing i’ve ever seen in my life, it’s never once acknowledged by any of the characters as abnormal or explained in any way i’m literally obsessed with it. also autism queen"
"PIGTAILS!!!! autism"
"Entrapta is very bubbly and positive. She never lets anything like losing her friends or going to the bad side or getting put on a death-sentence island stop her from scientific pursuits! She actually drives a lot of the conflict in the story, as she explains the technological backstory of the world, and helps both sides be better at fighting. She loves data, doing experiments, and the scientific method. She's also in love with space. She is an autistic queen <3"
"phenomenal canon autism representation without being weird & shitty. also she’s so strange & wonderful & relatable in so so many ways. my computer is named Darla bc that’s what she named the AI for the spaceship in s5"
"She is THE science queen because she loves science so much and her love of it is INFECTIOUS. I don’t know anything about science but Entrapta makes it seem like the coolest thing in the universe. I love her"
"She ourple. I luv her"
"She's so passionate about her work. Takes through notes! Figured out how to hack her home planet!!! She's autistic as hell and I like her overalls."
"You won’t get autism like this anywhere else bestie"
"amoral mad scientist who flips between the good guys and bad guys, loves building so many inventions, ends up converting the head bad guy (for most of the series) to good through the power of love"
"She has outfitted her entire castle to be a maze, and installed electronic locks on some. Her staff seems to be mostly robots she has built herself. In good part reverse engineering or adapting ancient tech found on the planet. She's incredible at what she does and personally fixes, invents and builds a wide range of stuff from space ships to portals to a prosthetic exoskeleton to trackers to war machines. She can do it all. Autism win! Girlie has been criticised for being treated childlike or being unable to understand those around her to a ridiculous degree, but I'm honestly just glad she's not a Sheldon Cooper. Her favorite bots have personalities and therefore implied AI (but not the shitty kind), which means she's pretty fucking good at software too. She likes tiny foods."
"So very autistic about technology. Initially believes robots are way better than people, eventually makes human friends but also very much still has robot friends (I love Emily so much). Gets so excited about finding new First One's tech. Also her happy spinning around in a space suit in that one season 5 episode heals my heart every time I watch it"
"She's the planet's leading expert on ancient tech (sci-fi/fantasy universe) and develops most of the tech in the show and is very autistic about it. i love her"
"She is fun and funky. Chaotic neutral. Definitely some autism coding going on, which is very charming. She has a pet robot? It is cute"
"Bc she is ENTRAPTA!! No srsly she is such a well-written character. At times kinda morally grey but always lovable and great and she is truly amazing at what she does!! I'm pretty sure she's already been submitted but I wanted to make sure :)"

Probably a dumb question, but, why would they try to take back Dryl?
Entrapta is the princess of Dryl, and at that point, they still thought she was with the Hord, so why on earth would they try to take back Dryl when Entrapta is with the Hord and therefore gave it to them?

Happy Birthday Entrapta💜 Give our Dryl princess all tiny food, soup, tech and shera movie she wants 🥰🥹💖
Why she s holding a cat plushie?? I overthought a lot, she could be holding Emily (not Darla cause too big) or Hordak s baby. But then i remembered there was a lot of cat paintings in her castle and no one talked abt it. So here it is🫶
Wanted to create a playlist for her but apparently cant put many songs in one post^^ still, listening to songs while I draw helps me understand her character better so I need to thank people who replied in story and suggested me songs for Entrapta:
How do i craft this again by yogscast/silly @hymn-of-muse Btw go their fanfic!!!!
Technologic daft punk @cheetahniel1504 also go read their fanfics !!!
(Everyone is) dumb dumb by mazie @iamthebluefairie go see her art!!!
You really gave me sm motivation, tysm again 🫂🫂🫂🫂
Not me drowning in assignments and reborning for our neurodivergent january queens Adora and Entrapta. The struggle is real. Can you spot the 3 different brushes i drew with that time??😭😭😭 Also tried a new way to color with a copic brush ❤️‍🩹
Couldnt finish it on time without @lemony-bunny s support, loved her fanarts smmmm🥰💜🥰💜🥰 go see her reel abt their bday too, super preciousss!!!

Profiles in Villainy
Entrapta
A Princess of Dryl, Entrapta had been a member of the Princess Rebellion against the Evil Horde until a misunderstanding led to her defecting and becoming an ally of Hordak.  
Entrapta is an absolute genius in the field of mechanical engineering and theoretical physics.  She is constantly tinkering on new inventions, using her long, prehensile hair to assist her in her work.  Prone to hyper-fixation, Entrapta is not always as mindful over what is going on around her as she could be.  She can become very engrossed in her work and does not always pick up on the language of social cues. Indeed it is possible that she was not entirely aware of Hordak’s malevolent nature... He was interesting and possessed fascinating projects for her to complete and that was enough to fully captivate her.  
During their time together, Entrapta and Hordak grew very close.  Hordak had never known such closeness before and it was difficult for him to accept that he had fallen in love with Entrapta.  Entrapta had likewise fallen for Hordak and was similarly perplexed by the emotions.
Hordak was heartbroken when Catra fabricated evidence showing Entrapta to be a traitor.  Catra had Entrapta banished to Beast Island. This was all a ploy on Catra’s part to break Hordak’s spirit and enable her to lay claim to his throne. 
Entrapta, was ultimately rescued by the Princess Rebellion and rejoined their ranks in the final battle against Hordak prime.  In the wake of this final battle and a return of peace to Etheria, Entrapta and Hordak were reunited and the two went off to start a new life together.  
Actress Christine Woods provided the voice for Entrapta.  the character first appearing in the sixth episode of Season One of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, airing on November 13th, 2018.

Bow's Character Arc
There was a discussion on Twitter from people who were confused about Bow’s character arc and whether he had one (he very much does, and it’s actually one of the clearest / most spelled out in the entire show!). To help anyone experiencing that confusion and because it’s never a bad idea to understand how character arcs work if you want to be a writer/storyteller, I might as well break Bow’s character arc down for anyone who might find it helpful.
Buckle in, it's nerd time!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the most basic, a character arc is a change (usually growth) a character goes through over the course of a story. Usually good (positive change arc) but sometimes bad (negative change arc). It’s very often a reversal aka the character is often in the exact opposite state by the end of the story than how they start it out. It can be trickier to follow in an ensemble story like SPOP because there are a lot of characters with parallel story lines going on and multiple arcs colliding in different ways, but She-Ra does a really good job of giving each of the four leads arcs (with Catradora as the main leads, Glimbow as the secondary) near equal time.
Yes, including Bow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What I think throws people about Bow’s arc is it’s based on hypocrisy.
Meaning…
He encourages his friends to talk it out and share their feelings… while hiding his own feelings from his dads and repressing his frustrations with having to be the middle man between Adora and Glimmer (Season 4)
He declares that average people (such as the kitchen staff at Dryl) don’t need the princesses and are just as capable of fighting the Horde themselves… while he believes himself and his abilities inferior to Princess Entrapta’s
He reminds the others (esp Adora) about the need to accept help… while refusing any help for himself (think about “Don't worry about me. I'm the one who worries about you. Can we go back to that? Please?” in Pulse through to that moment when he agrees to let Glimmer take him to check on his dads in Return to the Fright Zone and literally leans on her)
I think a funny way to sum up his character issue is: Not me, though.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This arc progresses across all five season as he gradually changes. He starts the series out repressing his feelings from both his family and friends while doubting his abilities and refusing to ask for help (he IS Adora’s mirror, after all!). Over the course of the series he learns to express his feelings instead of bottling them up (The Beacon > Reunion > really all of Season 4 but it comes to head starting with Boys Night Out through Beast Island > Stranded), gains more confidence in his tech skills (The Frozen Forest > Signals > Flutterina > Mer-Mysteries > Corridors), and starts to learn to ask for help (The Beacon > Pulse > Return to the Fright Zone).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which of course all culminates in The Heart Parts 1 and 2 where he finally wraps up all threads at once by
a) asking Scorpia to trust him (putting faith in someone else to help)
b) completing Entrapta’s program to unchip everyone (proving he IS as good a scientist as she is)
c) giving the speech to everyone on Etheria rousing the common people to fight Prime (average people can make a difference… which he now fully believes that includes him).
And while you can make the argument that confessing to Glimmer is part of his arc to share his feelings, the fact is that he completes a full character arc without ever behind reduced to just someone’s love interest because none of his character growth is tied to his romantic relationship at all (which was what the original tweet claimed). It's all his inner journey to have faith in himself and his abilities and how they relate to his friends and loved ones.
And thus the guy who starts the series as “only one around here who’s not a princess” with doubt in his tech abilities ends the series as confident Tech Master and future King of the regular people he sought to inspire, which is about as textbook a reversal as you can get.
Does it come out of nowhere?
His character arc progresses and takes significant focus in the following episodes….
S1:E6 System Failure
S1:E10 The Beacon
S2:E1 The Frozen Forest
S2:E3 Signals
S2:E7 Reunion
S4:E3 Flutterina
S4:E4 Pulse
S4:E7 Mer-Mysteries
S4:E8 Boys Night Out
S4:E10 Fractures
S4:E11 Beast Island
S5:E3 Corridors
S5:E4 Stranded
S5:E9 An Ill Wind
S5:E10 Return to the Fright Zone
S5:E12 Heart Part 1
S5:E13 Heart Part 2
That’s 17 episodes out of 52 which means his character development gets approximately 32% of the focus of the entire show… which for an ensemble cast like this where he’s one of four leads is just about dead on as it's over a quarter of the episodes.
That's a significant chunk of screentime with multiple episodes devoted specifically to his character journey.
Is his journey as flashy and action sequence-y as what Adora, Catra and Glimmer get? No, but it's a) a show marketed to girls so it makes sense they get the more cinematic scenes and b) his arc is more emotional and thus didn't need to hinge on big action like theirs did. Though considering the culmination of his arc is him as a 100 foot tall hologram speaking to the entire planet, I personally feel like that was pretty hard to miss.
If you look at all of this and still want to say that Bow did nothing or had no character arc, I think the thing to ask yourself is: why is it so important to you to discount the accomplishments and character growth of this character specifically?
In conclusion, this is the face Bow makes when he spent five season growing, changing and kicking butt as Tech Master and Voice of Reason and you say he did "literally nothing"...

Unused ideas
My notes app had so many different ideas that didn't make it onto the blog, so I thought I'd put them here and talk about why they didn't get included. A little 'bonus content', if you will.
They're in no particular order, just how they were when I opened it.
Catra sorry but afraid to commit. Adora also afraid This was a bit too general to make it into a particular scene, but I did like the idea that they're both afraid to take that big step and ask for/accept love. I think it got touched on, but I couldn't really find a good opportunity to outright say that.
Adora has nothing real. Catra in heart: I finally know what's real, it's me and you. One of numerous rejected ideas for the Heart scene. The notion of Adora not having anything real (Angella not really being her mom, Light Hope not really being a proper guide, She-Ra not even really being the hero she expected) was a cool idea, but I covered it back at the beginning of season 5 and it just wasn't a strong enough motivation to carry through to the finale.
Mara: You're afraid of being hurt. Adora: Course I'm fucking afraid, I got hurt before This was from the 'you're worth more than what you can give to other people' scene. I loved these lines, but by the time I got to that scene, it was clear the story was about so much more than just admitting her feelings to Catra, it was about the idea of allowing herself a happy life in general.
Dryl is like IKEA If I hadn't thought this up after the episode that took place in Dryl, I would have absolutely done this. We just never went back.
Finale is Catra proposing for real - I can't live without you/A world without you is no world/Love yourself because I do/What's the point in creating a world where you can be yourself if you aren't there too? Various rejected lines and ideas for that 'don't you get it' scene. They just weren't as good as what you ended up seeing.
This is the point of you - to love and to be loved. That's all any of us ever asked This one was also for that scene, and played on Adora's repeated asking of "What's the point of me". It's a great line in isolation, but it didn't fit with the others around it
Wanna fuck?/I've gotta save the universe first We ended up with a toned-down version of this, because there's undercutting the tension and there's undercutting the tension. Yup, there are even times where I reject the cruder lines!
Entrapta has a birth mark. Hordak knows. Another one on the slightly cruder side, but I couldn't really find a place that this worked. Maybe next time...
(On Prime's ship) Glimmer accuses Catra of being like SW and that's why Catra decides to help. "You're not perfect yourself, Princess"/"Wow, you can tell Shadow Weaver raised you" In hindsight, this just looks like it's unnecessarily harsh. I get what I was aiming for, a point of reflection for Catra that she may be going down the wrong path, but now I look back, I'm glad I didn't include this.
Corridors - Glimmer: It would be nice if you apologised for being a bitch to me/Catra: That would imply I'm sorry about it This one would have fit a lot better than the above idea, but the two of them bickering whilst fighting was funnier.
And that's the unused stuff! Would you have liked to see it in the blog? Happy that it didn't happen? Let me know!

An interesting Hordak/Entrapta parallel i can't stop thinking about
At a certain point in their lives both of them 1) were exiled and basically sent to die by someone who was important to them and whom they fully trusted (a friend/family/god) 2) got stuck in a strange place, isolated from the rest of the world/universe, all alone (lol speaking of trauma bonds...)
Two very similar and yet very different situations. And here’s the fun part: the main difference between Entrapta and Hordak’s stories is the opposite ways in which they react to their opposite circumstances, cope with and adapt to new changes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Etheria, for all its problems, is a real place to live, while Beast Island is literally a deadly patch of deadly land where everyone dies a deadly death. And yet it’s Hordak who keeps trying to leave the place he got stuck in and return home, while Entrapta just… accepts her fate and stays to explore all the ancient tech lying around
No need to explain why Hordak spends 30+ years building a portal and dreams of his reunion with Prime. He has his moments of doubt tho, even before Entrapta became his reason to stay on Etheria “perhaps Prime was right... I am a failure” *. But after that he still keeps going, he’s not giving up. So, why isn’t Entrapta trying to escape from BI then? Why did she give up? 
She could try to build a boat and escape “Cast Away” style, with all the tech, materials and her abilities she could! And it’s not like the signal was affecting her as much to make her stay (i think, maybe the signal did play it’s part but it’s more interesting to discuss Entrapta’s actions within a scenario where it didn’t mess with her head much) Maybe she tried to save herself at first, maybe she was waiting, hoping for someone to come for her. But at some point, it seems, she stopped trying, stopped hoping. But why? Don't tell me it's all because of the tech >:(
Because what really was there for her back home? Were there people waiting for her, missing her, anyone who wished to have her around again? The princesses? No, she’s their enemy now (plus they treated her terribly even when they were on the same side so-). Her friends in the Horde? Not only did they send her on BI in the first place, none of them came back for her afterwards (in over a year), meaning it was not just a mistake. Their friendship was. She was a mistake. All what would be left for her is to return to Dryl and continue her work all alone, but how different would that be from her current situation?
Hordak too, was believed to be a “mistake”. A useless defect in his God’s eyes. And Horde Prime knows all, he’s always right, thus Hordak, despite trying to prove him wrong, somewhere deep down too believed that he was the problem and that he deserved to be treated like this. And yet he still wanted to return to Prime, still believed that he'd accept him, welcome him back if Hordak proved himself worthy. Hordak is fueled by this irrational, naive, almost childish hope. It gave him a goal in life, a path to follow, a reason to keep going. All while his blind faith and love for Horde Prime was so strong that it outshined and outweighed most if not all of the horrible memories he had from his time serving Prime (like, life in the Galactic Horde is a fucking nightmare and yet-). To Hordak, his whole life and meaning - his everything was somewhere out there outside despondos and he had to escape Etheria no matter what. And never did Hordak think that there might be life for him outside the Horde, a better life without his God (before he met Entrapta of course)
But with Entrapta, it seems, this hope was lost. Not right away, of course. Like I said, at first she might’ve tried to escape all by herself, then she prolonged her stay because of all the tech to explore and focused solely on her research. But perhaps the signal was getting louder and stronger and depressing thoughts would occupy her mind more often. That’s when the “the world outside Beast Island ceased to exist” theory might’ve come up in her head. To help her cope with the fact that it probably has been months and no one still came for her. Such an easy explanation, isn’t it? Of course no one has come for her - the outside world no longer exists! It's not like everyone has given up on her and no one even wonders where she's been all those months!
Okay this part is solely my speculations, u can call them headcanons even, but This theory could've been somewhat comforting even. It leaves the room to some nice warming thoughts - that her friends do want her back despite everything, just physically unable to reach her and get her home anymore. Just like it might've been comforting for Hordak to think that Prime could've already changed his mind. And if only he wasn't cut out from the rest of the universe, HP would search for him and come for him
But then Adora, Bow and Swift Wind show up to save her, proving that the outside world does in fact exist and so are other people, her friends she “had failed”. And if they’re all alive, that means they only never came for her because they didn’t want her back. And that’s when she could no longer resist the signal She gave up, got tired of giving chance after chance - mainly to herself. What’s the point of keep trying to befirend someone if the result is always going to be the same? In a way, Entrapta stopped living in "denial" (unlike Hordak*) and accepted “the harsh truth”
*Even those brief moments where Hordak questions his whole mission are never about Hordak realizing that Prime is Bad Actually, it's always Hordak thinking he is not worthy to return to Prime afterall. And it was the same with Entrapta. She didn't refuse to leave BI because she now hates the princesses or her allies in the Horde for how they treated her, but rather because "people who have given up on me were right" and she's not worthy to return to them and join their side (be it the Horde or the Alliance)
She made a decision to stay on BI because she was afraid of what eventually did happen to Hordak once he returned to the Galactic Horde - she feared that if she came back, all her doubts, fears and self-loathing thoughts would prove to be true. That she’s a failure and a weirdo, that she’s unwanted and despised by those she loves, that she’s a bad friend, that life outside literal murder island would be even more miserable for her 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[i swear these parralels are going to kill me one day]
The most tragic thing about Hordak’s story is that he was actively trying to leave this relatively safe place in wish to return to his cold uncaring abusive god and willingly continue living in literal hell. Because he desperately wanted to be accepted by the most important person in his life. (And was literally programmed to see this hell as the only acceptable way to live exist)
And the most tragic thing about Entrapta’s situation is that we know that there were people who were missing her, who loved her and cared for her enough to come to her rescue. Who would not allow her exile to happen in the first place had they found out sooner. But Entrapta didn't know that for sure and still wanted to stay on this deadly island. Because how was she to know that if she escaped BI and returned home, she would not be rejected or even... sent back to that island again?

Alliances of the Heart
A She-Ra: Princess of Power 2018 fanfiction
For centuries, the All Princess Ball has been a time for the nobility of Etheria to let loose. Flaunting their power, prestige, and fashion for all to see. The ball had always been politically neutral, but, as tension from the war rises, not everyone is so keen to forget what happens beyond the walls of Castle Chill.
Lord Hordak, along with Princess Scorpia and Force Captian Catra, have come to the party to make alliances and find out everything there is to know about their enemies. Careful to not arouse the suspicion of the Princess Alliance.
Princess Entrapta, being the scientist she is, decides to come to the party to decode the secrets of body language, despite getting the same data from every other party she has ever attended.
When the two rulers cross paths, their plans flip on their heads as the two grow closer. Now it is up to Catra and Scorpia to push the two together as Adora and Glimmer stick their noses where they do not belong.
________________
Finally, an update on this fic. I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a while. Hopefully, there will be more frequent updates in the future. The jury is still out on Medical Practices though.
________________
Chapter 6: Failure to Convince
Entrapta was almost ready to leave for the third night of festivities, excited to see her new friends again. While putting on her rubber boots, she heard a firm knock on the door.
“Princess Entrapta, may we speak with you?”
Entrapta opened her bedroom door. Adora and Glimmer stood there, friendly smiles coating their faces.
“May we come in?” Glimmer asked.
“Sure.” Entrapta opened the door fully, letting in the two girls.
Adora and Glimmer sat on a small couch, and Entrapta perched on a bench at the foot of her bed.
“Is there something you guys need?” Entrapta asked politely. “ Do you need me to fix something for you?”
“No, thank you, Princess Entrapta. We came to discuss your… relationship with the Horde.” Glimmer explained, trying to sound as assured as her mother.
Entrapta’s shoulders dropped, bored of explaining the same thing over again.
“Is there something unclear about our arrangement?” Entrapta asked, trying her best not to sound rude.
“We just wanted to make sure what rumors are true.” Glimmer explained.
“What would you like to know?”
“Why did you join the Horde and not the Alliance?” Adora asked bluntly, gaining a side eye from Glimmer.
“They have more technological advancements and a political structure more closely aligned with Dryl,” Entrapta replied, equally as blunt.
“What about all the destruction the Horde has caused? Like all the villages they have destroyed.” Adora questioned.
“What has any of the other kingdoms done to protect those villages? The Alliance has no major armies, just an alliance of super-powered princesses. Those villages are left to fend for themselves most of the time, even before the war. Many citizens that immigrated to the Scorponi kingdom and Dryl are there to seek better lives.” She explained, which was the same thing she told everyone.
“We leave the villages alone so they can be self-sufficient.” Glimmer defended.
“Yes, but many of the nobles enjoy the luxuries of plumbing and other technological advancements while these villages still live as those advances have yet to be made. In Dryl and Scorponi, every home has plumbing, heating and air, and steady jobs.”
“Princess Entrapta, even if what you say is true, the Horde has destroyed so much in their wake,” Adora explained, rising from her seat. “The measures they use are so drastic. Destroying villages. Poisoning the Heart-Blossom. How far is the Horde willing to go?”
“That is a question you will have to ask Lord Hordak. I am on the side of science, and the horde will give me more opportunities than the Alliance can give me. And that is all I have to say.”
“But-”
“That is all I have to say,” Entrapta assured. “Will you please leave me alone now?” She asked bluntly.
“Yeah, will you leave her alone now?” Catra mocked. She and Scorpia stood at the door, Catra leaning against the doorframe.
“Fine then,” Glimmer stood, dusting herself off. “I hope it works out with you.” The two pushed past the two force captains at the door and disappeared down the hallway.
“Are you okay?” Scorpia asked, worried for her new friend.
“I’m fine,” Entrapta replied. “I don’t care about their opinions, so why should I worry?”
“That’s the spirit.” Catra grabbed Entrapta by the arm and led her down the hall quickly followed by Scorpia. “Come on, we got a party to go to.”

“Well, that was a bust.” Adora lamented, leaning on a wall.
“It’s fine. Entrapta made her decision, and we have to respect it.” Glimmer assured, smoothing out her dress.
“Now what?”
“What do you mean?”
“What’s the plan now? The horde still might be planning something, especially Catra.” Glimmer rolled her eyes, tired of hearing about Catra.
“Look,” Glimmer grabbed Adora by her biceps. “This party happens only once a decade. Let’s just enjoy.”
“I know, Glimmer, but-”
“No buts. I’m done wasting my time running after some hermit princess who doesn’t even want to be a part of the Alliance. If she wants to be with the Horde, so be it. There is nothing we can do about it, so why bother.”
“So you want the horde to win?”
“Of course not! I just-” She sighed. “I just don’t want to waste the time we have here. Besides, I thought your whole mission was to get Princess Frosta on our side?”
Adora gave a hard sigh.
“You’re right.”
“Good because I didn’t spend three days picking out these outfits for nothing.” The two girls laughed as they made their way down the hall to the ballroom.
_________________________________
Hordak walked into the ballroom, his black cape fluttering behind him. The top layers of his navy hair were woven into various medium and small braids that led into a ponytail. The rest of the unbraided hair was left to fall on his shoulders. Two thin, loose braids framed the sides of his face.
He examined the growing crowd. He saw the star sisters conversing with Princess Frosta at the foot of the platform that the throne sat upon. Princess Perfuma danced with Princess Netossa as Princess Spinnerella laughed as she watched. Adora talked with Princess Mermista, even though Adora spent most of her time watching Catra. Then he saw Princess Entrapta and Scorpia congregating around a snack table, happily chatting with each other. Princess Entrapta walked on her hair and picked through the tiny confections with glee, and Scorpia was dunking anything she could find into the chocolate fountain.
The warlord’s face formed a small smile.
He wove his way through the glittery nobility, occasionally bumping into one, earning him a glare. After much delay, he made his way over to the princess.
He cleared his throat, and Entrapta turned around.
“Oh, hello, Lord Hordak!” She greeted, slightly louder than needed.
“I got to go! You two have fun!” Scorpia blurted out, a broad smile across her face.
“Bye, Scorpia!” Entrapta shouted as Scorpia hastily walked away.
“How is your evening thus far?” Hordak inquired, watching Scorpia run to Catra out of the corner of his eye.
“Eh, it’s okay.” Entrapta’s hair formed a chair the princess sat on.
“Did something happen?”
“Just Adora and Princess Glimmer pestering me about my decision to side with the Horde.” Entrapta popped a small cupcake in her mouth.
“I am sorry that happened.”
“Nah, it’s fine. I just don’t get why they are so mad about it. They’ve wanted me to pick a side for so long, but they get mad when I finally make one. I get it wasn’t the decision they wanted me to make, but they don’t have to be so petty about it.” Entrapta slumped her shoulders down and rested her head on her hand.
“I have also had some backlash over your decision; however, I have only overheard it. When most people fear you, many of their opinions go unsaid.” The warlord let out a small chuckle but stopped when he saw Entrapta did not find it humorous.
“Does it ever bother you when people are scared of you?” Entrapta asked, cocking her head to the side.
“Hm.” His brow bone furrowed. “It depends on the person. I am perfectly fine with my enemies fearing me. As well as some subordinates.” He paused. “Are you scared of me?” He asked, stepping closer.
“Not at all. You’re my friend after all.”
“Good.” Hordak sighed, hating that he brought this upon her. The whole time the two have been talking Hordak could hear the whispers around them. All the terrible, untrue, and even vulgar things the nobles gossiped about. He hated it so much. Mostly for Entrapta. Hordak was used to the whispers and snide comments, but he would never wish it on this intelligent princess. He felt he should make it up to her somehow, and get her away from the petty partygoers.
He glanced around the ballroom and saw a large doorway leading to a lush garden.
“How much more research do you need to conduct?”
“I’m always doing research.” She replied, half with delight and half with curiosity.
“I meant researching this party.” He clarified.
“Well, I have been getting the same research from other parties. And these parties can get boring.” Her hair chair unraveled, and she rose to his eye level. “Did you have something in mind?” 
“I thought since we are tired of all the backlash we have been getting, you and I could avoid it all.” He explained, gesturing to the extensive gardens outside of the ballroom.
“That sounds fun. Oh, maybe you could tell me more about the grid system in the Fright Zone!”
Hordak offered an arm to the princess, which she gladly accepted.
“Yes, but I’m afraid it needs an update. I have not revisited it in years.” The two began to weave through the crowd. This granted some odd looks from the other guests, which were ignored by the two as they made their way to the gardens of Castel Chill.
“Maybe we can update it when I come over.” Entrapta enthusiastically suggested.
“Perhaps.” He answered with a light chuckle.
As the two walked across the ballroom floor, Catra and Scorpia watched closely. They stood by a tall collom that gave them the perfect place to stay out of the warlord’s peripheral vision.
“I honestly can’t believe it was this easy,” Scorpia commented with a breathy laugh. 
“I know, right,” Catra replied. “I mean, I know the guy is lonely, but still.”
“Catra, that’s mean.”
“It’s true, though,” Catra affirmed as Entrapta and Hordak left the ballroom.
Scorpia rolled her eyes.
“I just hope this all works out.” Scorpia cautioned.
“Yeah,” Catra looked over her shoulder, making eye contact with Adora. “I hope so too.”

NEW AND VERY IMPORTANT POLL:
Important context: entrapta's bots have a fizzy drink dispenser and Adora is gay agitated because she saw Catra fight in the last round (whether this is a bonus or not AU is up to you)

Princess Glimmer and the Day of Many Choices: The only way to stop an evil mom is an evilier mom (29/?)
"Perfuma!" Scorpia cried and hurled herself forward to stop the sparks, but before she had the time, a black and purple seal formed out of thin air, blocking the attack immediately.
"What are you children?" playing at now? came a well known, smooth and rich and only slightly slurred voice.
Tumblr media
"You… saved me?" Perfuma gasped.
"Yeeees, princess," Shadow Weaver smarmed. "I wouldn't want to throw away potential such as yours…" She leaned forward to touch Perfuma's hair, causing Perfuma to take a step back in discomfort.
"YOU!" the Scorpion woman snarled with absolute loathing and hatred in her voice.
Tumblr media
"Scorptra?" Shadow Weaver said in genuine surprise. "What are you doing here? Didn't I already kill you once?"
"You killed my mom?" Scorpia gasped.
"Yeeeees," Shadow Weaver happily said, apparently enjoying the memory. "I killed BOTH your moms. Poison. It was a slooow, paiiiinful death… What? They stood between me and power," she said, as if that would explain everything.
"DIE!" Scorpia's mom snarled and unleashed another torrent of electricity, which Shadow Weaver easily blocked.
"If you couldn't get me back then, what makes you think you can get me now?" Shadow Weaver taunted.
"Because now she's working with me, witch," Angella said with measured voice. "And your loathsome presence in this world has been tolerated for way too long."
Tumblr media
Shadow Weaver looked up and met the gaze of the queen.
"Oh fuck," she said with low voice.
Tumblr media
"Now, die. Be mourned by no one," Angella said matter-of-factly and unleashed a ball of light, bright as the sun. Shadow Weaver scrambled to pull up a magic defense, but the light melted straight through it.
It was only in the very last moment that a plant vine placed itself between the shadow witch and the lighting ball
Tumblr media
"What?" Perfuma said as Catra, Adora and Glimmer gave her a long look. "It's not like I would just let her die. It has nothing to do with her flattering me."
"Very good," Shadow Weaver panted and got to her feet. "You have power, oh daughter of Plumeria (who I totally remember the name of). I hope you don't squander it like others have done." She gave Adora and Glimmer a meaningful look. "In fact, under my guidance you could…"
"Why is my mom here?" Scorpia asked, staring with huge eyes at the older Scorpion woman, currently engaged in finding something heavy to throw at Shadow Weaver. "How is my mom here?"
Tumblr media
"What she said!" Glimmer cried, staring at Angella.
"Enough chit-chat!" Shadow Waver cried. "Follow me! (Except you, Catra. Stay behind and die)"
"Where are we going?" Adora asked, firmly dragging Catra with her as Shadow Weaver oozed down a corridor.
"To that infernal machine Hordak and that cursed tinkerer from Dryl built," Shadow Weaver cried. "If Angella is here, that means the walls between words is not holding as well as they should. We have to stop something even worse from crawling out from the woodworks.
Tumblr media
