#Adora and writing

[ashtrayangell]

i think that childhood best friends to enemies trope is the most tragic thing to ever exist bc like. we’ve both done unspeakable things to each other and there’s no getting back to what we were at the start of this but there’s a part of me that still knows you like no one else could ever possibly know you. the whole idea of trust and devotion turned to a mutual, burning hunger to destroy each other. I hate you this much because i loved you this much. drives me insane.

this was so fucking peak…like okay doomed romance

I think it's a shame that there was never a discworld book involving Moist Von Lipwig facing the elves. Because I would pay so much money to see that. The elves are dangerous and some of them have seriously powerful magic, but for the most part they're creatures of glamour. They entrance, trick, deceive, and intimidate. But the thing is, Moist is even better at it than they are. Moist's primary skills are just his sheer audacity and charisma. The elves are creatures of stories, and Moist knows how to spin a story better than anyone. Plus, it's mentioned elves often try to use their glamour to overwhelm humans with sheer feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. And while Moist doesn't like plenty of things about himself, he's incredibly good at hiding it. As I said, he's a man with audacity. It could also draw an interesting parallel showing how elves aren't much more than he is, just magical con-artists but at least he's trying to be better now. Bonus: Adora Belle Dearheart vs the elves. She has an even more ironclad sense of self-confidence than Moist. Plus she has golems, which would likely be unaffected by both elf glamour and elf swords, and goblins which were formerly enslaved by the elves and are a vengeful people with access to a lot of iron. It would also be funny if they were hyper-sensitive to her cigar smoke or something

"Working" together

Hero: Look, our plans keep getting more and more reckless and also not at all glamorous enough for your usual kind of gig. We´re both clearly not in the right mindset to do this, so can we just move it to tomorrow and go home now? Villain: Oh? Have I been keeping you up all night, Hero? Hero: Yes! And not the fun kind! Villain: …Oh? Hero: Not that! - Oh my god! I meant- fuck. Villian: Well, that... can certainly be arranged.

Shadow Weaver seeing Glimmer not as her own person but rather as a version of Micah that didn’t fail her ohhhhhhh i love the fucked up mentor/mentee dynamics in this show.

[antispopausandstuff]

if Adora left Catra to rot on Horde Prime's ship, i wouldn't blame her.

if Glimmer and Bow tried to talk her out of saving Catra, i wouldn't blame them.

if they succeeded in talking her out of saving Catra, i wouldn't blame them.

if no one wanted to save Catra, i wouldn't blame anyone.

if Adora wanted to 'Katara' Catra's ass, I WOULDN'T BLAME HER.

actually, if Adora did, that'd be badass.

periodically I see posts going "Discworld is great but Terry Pratchett can't write romance--" Friend, that is a feature.

[maxiemumdamage]

What makes me sad is that there are very few RWBY crossovers — in general, but in this case specifically — that explore the hilarity of their weapons.

Like. The fandom has gotten so used to it to the point where we’re shocked when the melee weapon isn’t also a gun. We’re desensitized to things like “sniper-rifle-scythe” or “shotgun-gauntlets” or “katana-chain-scythe-handgun.” Non-RWBY characters, even those from an action series, will not be.

Luz Noceda would be alarmed if someone pulled out a seven foot tall sniper-scythe (though she’d fangirl before she’d panic in most circumstances). Percy Jackson will not know how to respond to a gun when he’s been fighting with a sword from antiquity. Adora She-Ra…is probably not gonna react that strongly, actually, but she’s a child soldier who unlocked magical girl powers and is friends with Entrapta, and as such is uniquely suited to cope with the insane bullshittery of RWBY weapons being thrown at her.

Anyway. Missed opportunity for comedy is all.

Big fan of the whole "You Are The Only Person Who's Fucked Up In The Same Very Specific And Deeply Disturbed Ways That I Am Fucked Up, Thus Making You The Only Person Qualified To Handle My Nonsense™️" ... except its the hero and the villain.

[everythingcatradora]

adora is generally a kind person but she has such an obvious soft spot for catra and it’s so cute… catra will be all grumpy or just nonchalant or something and adora’s just smiling this Specifically For Catra ™️ smile or even with catra’s antics in the horde in their serious training regimens we see that adora still can’t help but still gaze at her fondly like she was whipped!! she would consistently be annoyed with anyone else but she just folds when it comes to catra

You have no idea how long this took, but I made some phone case designs! And you can get them as other stuff, but I started this project when I get a new phone. One of these is transparent and designed for stickers specifically. These are available on both Redbubble and Society6. See my post with details/disclaimers about the platform/quality differences here.

Designs: 1) “Promise?” S1 Sword of Protection (Base Version) Inspired by a season 5 promotional poster (near the bottom). Left to right, the First Ones script says “Promise?” and “I promise.” (Note: I chose to curve the final sound on “Promise?” to represent the upward tilt of a question) Colorways: sky blue (RB / S6), navy (RB / S6).

2) “Promise?” Broken S1 Sword of Protection (Variant) The addition at the bottom is an inversion of “She-ra”, a striking point for the sword. Colorways: sky blue (RB / S6), navy (RB / S6).

3) “Promise?” S5 Sword of Protection (Variant) Updated for season five, colorways are shifted to accommodate the new sword’s color palate, but otherwise it’s the same as the first version. Colorways: sky blue (RB / S6), pink (RB / S6), navy (RB / S6), maroon (RB / S6), lilac (RB only — I ran out of design slots on S6). Can you tell which design is my favorite child (which is funny because this is the last idea I had)?

4) Swords of Protection Decal Meant more for stickers and the like, this is a variant includes both the season 1 and season 5 sword design. (RB / S6)

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

i've been meaning to ask.. is this the same adora from s1? the adora who planned out everything and learned the name of all the princesses and was so hyperfocused on creating a strategy to approach frosta that she barely cared about picking a dress for the prom? the adora who wanted to make a foolproof plan so that catra wouldn't murder her friends in cold blood and make her watch?

even the narrative just dumbs down adora's character entirely for no rhyme or reason. if anything, shouldn't she learn to be more strategic the more time she spends fighting the horde and rescuing people? it makes no sense for adora to become more and more impulsive each season, especially after all the trauma she's gone through and all the times catra took advantage of her kindness.

and sure, catra is smart. but she's only smart because everyone around her is dumb. seriously. hordak did close to nothing for the horde, he was sulking in his room all day. scorpia was all brawns and not much brain (she did have a few intelligent moments but it would have been useful to show that side of her more). entrapta was all book smarts, she was basically a tool rather than an intelligent person.

and the same happens when catra joins the BFS in s5. glimmer, bow and adora were all clever characters in their own right but as soon as catra steps in, they're complete buffoons who can't do anything without her help. and to be fair, while they all individually showed signs of being intelligent prior to this season, the princess alliance as a whole was still dumb as rocks, and it makes zero sense.

catra was winning because she was basically the only character in the series who was allowed to use her brains, and i mean this in the most insulting way possible. it's such a lazy way of writing a smart character, and it's such a disservice to the other characters.

[tippenfunkaport]

Someday I will write an essay about how 90% of the bad takes on Season 4 stem from people not understanding that we are predominantly in Adora's POV and she is an unreliable narrator.

It ultimately doesn't matter whether she or Glimmer is right or wrong because Adora thinks she's right and Glimmer's wrong and that's all that matters to the show from a narrative standpoint.

Just because a character believes something to be true, doesn't mean it's objectively fact. Their perception colors how they view events, that's Writing 101. And in this case, it's the key ingredient for effective conflict because both people are not viewing the same event from the same perspective so they can't see eye to eye.
