The way Adora refused to get in between this lesbian argument was fucking hilarious to me. She was like "Ohhhhh noooo I know how this goes I am NOT getting involved."

Netossa has a midlife crisis after the series, and decides of that since she figured out how to make individual ropes, she's just going to be Spider-Man. Meanwhile Spinnerella is just sitting on a bench with a pair of reading glasses reading an old romance novel and pretending to pay attention.
Hell yeah, I can absolutely imagine Netossa rambling away to Spinnerella about how she is basically Spiderman but better.

Fleshed Out AU Introduction
The long awaited (okay, not really that long, and not really that awaited) secondary AU I am putting on this blog is now out and ready to be properly introduced!
The Fleshed Out AU is simple: it is simply fleshing out minor (yet reoccurring) side characters in a way that wouldn’t disrupt the original narrative and plot of the show. It is basically presenting ideas for how the crew could maybe have better worked with some of their well liked yet underutilized side characters or made their stories more impactful.
The idea is to be able to flesh out (and maybe give arcs to) these minor characters using only the time they are given on screen (plus a little extra) and one episode (per group. Ex: A rewrite of Protocol, maybe an episode before Season 5 that can actually make us care about Netossa and Spinerella). If some of the ideas introduced in the little bits and pieces I will spread throughout the show sound super interesting, then I can make little spin-off/side-story things.
For example, I’ve been putting a lot of work into my rewrite of “Protocol” for this AU, and I added a (relatively important) bit in which Rogelio has what is basically an audio/video diary. This is one of the ways we get to see his inner thoughts and perspective, and I just thought it would be kinda cool and add a little something to his character. I liked this idea so much, that I ended up making it into its own fic. That will basically be a side-story for this AU.
I also have an idea of introducing a potentially mini spin-off (would probably be a comic) to the show following the Horde Squad after they left the Horde, and it focuses on a lot of side characters and even extremely minor characters. It would probably give off some zombie-apocolypse/western vibes. It could be so much fun. I can list random ideas for that off the top of my head and have tons of fun with it.
Basically, this AU is what I initially wanted PPHS to be (still keeping PPHS, just not gonna confine it to the show), but it’s also its own thing.
I’ll present more ideas, but those will be in their own posts.

A massive problem with how fandom - particularly queer rep - is going right now on this website is how quick people are to jump ship onto the next thing and then immediately start trashing the everliving shit out of the old thing.
Steven Universe (not a perfect show by any means) while it was coming out was celebrated constantly. The Garnet reveal? Pearl being in love with Rose? The Rupphire wedding? SU was revolutionary and has been quoted by cartoon creators now for being a big reason people are allowed to bring their stories to life. Say what you want about the show, but it broke boundaries and set precedents for a lot of the shows that you now love. And the show's plot lines regarding the diamonds has been taken in completely bad faith - do yall really think the half Jewish queer person meant for you to get "Let's all forgive Nazis" from the Diamonds redemption arcs??
After Steven Universe ended a large majority of people jumped to She Ra and the Princesses of Power and when they mentioned SU at all it was to put it down as a show with terrible representation and all round bad writing.
During SPOP's run it was massively popular, with a lot of buzz around the main ship, Catradora. I know this is gonna be taken in bad faith so a quick note - while I do like Catradora, I do feel that there should have been another season for Catra to properly acknowledge the harm she did to Adora and actually grow as a person before entering into a relationship. Catra was forgiven too easily, but that was in part due to Netflix not wanting to give the show another season to properly flesh out the redemption arc. The final season was rushed as all hell, and so many story points would have been better with another season to flesh them out further.
But I digress - during the show's run it was constantly talked about for it's representation, having multiple queer characters, including a nonbinary character.
The show ends and again, the fanbase jumps. This time, it's to the Owl House. People start talking about how SPOP was actually horrible representation and, my personal favourite, they "added gay people as a cash grab."
Yeah okay guys, I'm sure a queer nonbinary creator is writing about queer people because they actually dislike the gays and want to wring money out of us. That is definitely the situation here.
And now I'm worried that in a year or two we'll have the next big queer cartoon and the posts will start popping up -
"Amity Blight is the mean lesbian stereotype."
"Raine and Eda's relationship is problematic because-"
"Amity and Luz started out as rivals, which is toxic because-"
"The romance didn't start until later in the show, it was added at the end for a cash grab."
Again, I'm certain there's gonna be bad faith takes on this -- I'm not saying these shows are perfect. They all have flaws somewhere. No media is completely without it's faults and its good to recognise those faults, that what critical reading is. But calling someone an abuser for enjoying SPOP, or a Nazi sympathiser for liking SU (actual accusations I have seen on tumblr.com) is frankly a little ridiculous.
As for the bad rep argument - every show on this list has one thing in common: a queer creator. No one experiences queerness the exact same way - the only thing that harassing queer creators for not showing your experience does is make other queer creators... not want to write queer characters. No one wants to receive death threats because, for example, they based a character with their sexuality off of how that actually affected them and someone on the Internet decided they were feeding into a harmful stereotype.

She Ra Headcanon - Entrapta was the Frosta of the first Princess Alliance (youngest member) and became friends with the members of the alliance. She was so happy to have friends again because she watched all her other friends die in the war.
