Round 1, Matchup 32

[rogelio-rp]

Hi I'm rogelio It's nice to meet you you can ask me any questions and hear something.

Adora and catra are parasites I can't get them off seriously they always guess my password What do I do?!

[baggebythesea]

What do you consider a rare ship in SPOP fandom. A real one not like a crack ship. Like I guess off the top of my own head Catra and Perfuma

I'll never stop gushing about the good ship Glimmer and Double Trouble. As much as she loves her life as high queen, Glimmer needs to woo her a scoundrel now and then.

Catra and Perfuma is surprisingly sweet. Much like Glimmer, Perfuma - or should I say Tara - has a thing for reformed (or not so reformed) Horde hotties. I could see her having a fling with Lonnie as well.

Adora and Mermista have some really good fics. A bit Spinnerella and Netossa-vibes.

They rarely get over the dating stage, but I do find Bow and Perfuma really sweet (and I see no reason not to bring Glimmer in to get a constructive resolution of their prom woes).

Speaking of, Glimmer and Perfuma are very cute together. And Glimmer and Mermista (especially when Glimmer is young and naive and look up immensely to the cool pirate princess) and Glimmer and Huntara is great fun in "spoiled brat tries to chat up the badest butch in the biker bar" way and... dangit, I'm just recapping Glimmer Dates Everyone again, aren't I?

For some non-Glimmer rarepairs (which is fine too, I guess) Wrong Hordak and Double Trouble are fun in the 'cupcake + scoundrel' kinda way. Perfuma and Mermista can be sweet if you build on their friction in the show. Entrapta, of course, can be shipped with any piece of sufficently advanced technology, ai or princess that needs 'auntie trapta' to show them the ropes.

I don't exaclty know if Shadow Weaver and Castaspella counts as a rarepair - the ship has a dedicated following. Shadow Weaver and Angella on the other hand definately counts, if you are into toxic yuri milfs. I also kinda like to write Castaspella with just the tiniest lingering crush on Angella, and just a tiny bit of resentment that her bro asked her out first. I have also written a fic with Angella and Hordak, that even if it is a horribly wrong politically arranged marriaged can be a foundation to build on.

Bow and Sea Hawk need to go on hot pirate adventures together, and more often than not I like to bring in Mermista. X marks the spot. For whatever reason I also like to give Kyle some high see adventures with hot pirates. Oh! And Double Trouble flirting with Sea Hawk in the Peekablue episode never gets old.

Scorpia is immensely shippable. I don't count her being with Catra and Perfuma as rarepairs, but there are some wonderfully sweet Scorpia and Entrapta (with Emily as a child). I see her with Adora and even Mermista, and of course some glitter cuddles with Glimmer (dangit, I promised to stop bringing in Glimmer).

This is more of crack fick territory, but Horde Prime is useful in a 'bath her and bring her to my chamber' kind of way, as long as the object of his affection gets to bust his fucking orb before the story is over. There is lots of really sweet and thoughtful clone shipping that deal with the concept of intimacy, the hive mind and learning what it means to be your own person.

Oh, and Octavia and Huntara should totally be bitter exes.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. the Spop show is really good at presenting attraction, and that gives us so many fun ships to play with.

[stanlunter]

I'm kinda curious why you don't like catradora? Is it just not your thing or do you have reasons? Just kinda curious as I almost always only see the "they were enemies! And that makes it too toxic!" But I saw you like catra/glimmer so yeah, just curious as someone who personally likes it but also hasn't watched the show in ages

Thank you for your question

Yeah, I do hate it, mb not its fans (or at least not all of them, cuz most of them are actually super annoying, but anyways) tho. Also sorry for my bad English

As for the reasons, there are actually many reasons:

Starting with, like you said

1. Being toxic. But the difference with Glitra is that in their way It's not like Catra abuses Glimmer, no, they hate each other mutually, there ia no "abuser x victim" dynamic, bc they hurt each other mutually. Also there are no manipulations, guilt-trips, gaslighting and etc, they are completely honest with each other. While with Adora, their dynamic is rather "abuser x victim" than "enemies to lovers" bc Adora never wanted to hurt Catra, she was always only ensuring what Catra's doing and saying. Adora was always holding back, never tried to kill Catra or make her feel like nothing or hate herself and all her fights were litterally either self-defense or defense of her friends or other people who were attacked by Catra. While Catra always tried to hurt Adora, both mentally and physically, tried to kill her many times, tried to make her hate herself and etc, etc. She was the reason why Adora had such a strong hero complex and always wanted to sacrafice herself. Adora litterally had panic attacks bc of Catra. And the whole "it was a war" argument doesn't work here bc being a war criminal doesn't make Catra any better and bc Catra was toxic to Adora even when they were on the same side. She was always jealous, controlling, possesive and didn't want Adora to have other friends. She wanted Adora to belong to her, which was shown many times. Also she physically hurt her many times, gaslighted her and etc. So their relationship would be much more abusive than Glitra relationship. And what makes it even worse is that Catra has learnt all her abusive traits from SW - recognized Adora's abuser. Catra litterally copies everything the main abuser who has traumatized Adora in the forefront does, which is actually creepy af too. Even she tortures Adora in s4 she says that she took the idea from SW. So she just takes the abuse she (and Adora) has been throught and intentionally uses it against Adora

Even if you have a kink for abusive ship, you should write them well and not put them in a kid show, normalizing abuse by this. There are examples of good enemies to lovers in kid shows which aren't abusive and It's fine (like Dipper/Pacifica, Talon/Penny, Bubblegum/Marcelin kinda, Amaya and Janai (It's good and It's wlw too), even Glimmadora would work since they were enemies too and etc).

2. The whole being "basically adoptive sisters" thing. They aren't actual sisters, but they were actually implied to be so. I won’t even mention every time the CREW referred to them this way (however, there were many times), but the main problem is that their whole relationship is fully based on the "Skapegoat & Golden child" dynamic. And SW is a mother figure who loves one child and hates the other one, who always tries to earn her love and jealous and hate the favourite child. Some people say SW was just a teacher and not a mom figure, but it would be a lie at least bc 1. The crew has stated SW as a mother figure, so It's canon anyways 2. It was said by Adora that SW was like a mother to her 3. You don't try to earn your teacher's LOVE like Catra does 4. The whole thing that SW sees herself in Catra and wanted fulfil her ambitions throught Adora. Also SW wasn't a mother figure for other cadets, it wasn't actually her duty to teach Lonnie, Kyle, Rogelio and others. She was a right hand, not a teacher and she was there only for Adora bc she decided so and for Catra bc Adora wanted so. So, even if you're trying to ignore it, It's a huge part of the plot and a base of their relationship. Oddly enough, but many catradora shippers actually love to admit that "SW was a bad abusive mother", "Catra & Adora have mommy issues", "Adora is a favourite child" and etc, yet when you point it out, they start denying it. I find it strange.

Another thing is subjective, just my personal vision, but I highly dislike all "childhood friends" ships (mb with exceptions if they always actually had feelings for each other, but in catradora case we find out about it only later, especially from Adora's perspectice). Also there is a biological theory that if kids know each other since the age under 6, they see each other as siblings anyways, especially if they grow up together in the same house, especially with the sams parent figure. So, even tho it's subjective, It's an important reason to ms. And I actually did thought of them so and thought everyone does untill I joined the fandom. So even if I don't recognize "see each other as siblings" thing when it comes to usual friends who haven't been grown up together, I do with those who have. Flr example, Renora. This ship was always weird to me and when they become canon, it didn't make me love it. I don't think It's problematic, but it absolutely does make me feel uncomfortable. Like, if you haven't developed your feelings for each other for during these 10 years you were together, where are the feelings suppose to come from later?

But yeah, childhood friends thing is my subjective reason

3. Catra's redemption arc was horrible. And redemption arc is one of the most important things when it comes to enemies-to-lovers, since It's the thing that suppose to help them become canon. Everyone immidiatly has to forgive Catra and no one calls Catra out for what she has done. Even Glimmer, who's mom was killed bc of Catra or Adora who has been abused by Catra for years. And so Catra doesn't even actually changes. She just swaps sides and immidiatly becomes Adora's gf. That's the problem. If you write enemies-to-lovers, do it well

4. The whole way the shis was handled. It just doesn't make sense and completely ruins the whole development of almost all characters. Adora's development is getting destroyed and she just comes back to s1 Adora. Her whole arc was about stopping blaming herself for Catra's actions, separating from her abusers and getting a life. But she just ends up forgiving Catra and considering Catra a victim of herself. And starts blaming herself for "leaving" Catra again. They just forget everything they've been throught. And what about Catra? Catra was obsessed the whole time. She hated Adora and liked hurting her. Catra was litterally addictive to Adora. It wasn't love, it was possesion. And giving an addict a drug isn't a way to go. Catra should separated from Adora, learn how to live without the idea of being "either with her, or againt her". That's why I think her leaving the Horde with Scorpia and going to a Crimson waste would be the best happy ending for her. She would get a life, get what she wanted (being loved), what she needed and what she deserved and let her issues go. So they just aren't good for each other. Having Adora around was always hurting Catra, Catra never was able to fully show herself when Adora was with her in the Horde and she even saya that Adora leaving gave her a chance to fulfil her actual potential, so Adora leaving was the best thing happened to her. Even if Catra wasn't fully agree with her own words, it was basically truth, bc Catra actually did feel bad bc of Adora when they were together (it wasn't Adora's fault, but still). Catra was always blaming Adora for her problems and didn't stop even in s5. So It was bad not only for Adora, but for Catra as well

Also Adora never even loved Catra before. If Catra's possesion can be called love at some point, it doesn't work this way with Adora. Yeah, Adora cared about Catra as a friend, but DT was right, Adora didn't need Catra. She didn't have such big problems with letting Catra go. After s1 she forgot Catra and never recalled her as a friend, only as an enemy. So her whole "I love you too" thing just came out of nowhere and was a lie. Just like "I never hated her" bc Adora did and it was shown. Adora got new friends who care about her and getting Catra was absolutely unnecessary for her. It doesn't work even as a Stockholm Syndrome or a trauma bond, bc it was never shown and Adora got a development

Actually, if it did make sense, mb I would like it, but unfortunately it really doesn't and only ruines everything the show has been building for years, which is sad, cuz I used to love both Catra and Adora

It's also strange to me how shippers compare catradora to so many actually good wlw couples like Korrasami, Harlivy, Caitvy, Lumity, Bumbleby, Chaggie and etc, while in reality their relationship is much closer to Tauradonna (which is actually hated by Bumbleby shippers, which is ironic) and Citrus and actually Shin Soukoku and Simon/Grace, or even some actual/ almost actual siblings like Vi/Jinx, Zuko/Azula, Rapunzel/Cassandra, Claudia/Soren, Qrow/Raven, Maki/Mai, Nightwing/Red hood, Thor/Loki, White queen/ Red queen and etc.

But I would prefer to compare it to Shin Soukoku tho

So, these are the main reasons. Actually I don't understand why can't catradora shippers just admit that their ship is problematic and enjoy it as it is, bc it doesn't really make sense to just make ship a full ooc and make it romantic and sweet to like it, bc it litterally goes against the whole point and everything it always has been. So I have a big respect for those shippers who do admit the problems and enjoy it without lying to themselves and gaslighting others tbh

Anyways, thanks for a question, it was actually interesting to answer it and you can feel free to asnwer, desagree or agree, Im not a hater or smth

I Fucking Hate You

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

You watched as Catra aimed to claw Scorpia's face. Luckily she back away just in time. You looked around, trying to see if anyone would stand up to Catra, but everyone was avoiding looking at them.

"You can't treat her like that!"

Catra looked towards all the cadets, "Who said that." She pointed a finger towards you all.

They all took a step back, leaving you at the front line. "Backstabbing snitches," You groan under your breath.

"What do you know about being Force Captain?" She asks, walking closer to you.

"I know how to treat my teammates. No wonder Adora left."

You knew the moment those words left your mouth you were a dead woman. Lonnie was about to speak up, but Catra raised her hand. "Everyone leave."

"But-"

Catra whips around towards Scorpia, "LEAVE NOW! ALL OF YOU." You were about to turn around, but Catra points towards you, "Expect you... Y/n, right?"

"What does it matter?"

She didn't speak until the last cadet left the room. But, not before Scorpia looked back, giving you a look of sympathy.

"You stepped out of line, Soldier."

"I sure did. And I would do it again. You were out of line-"

Her laugh interrupts you. She gestures to the room, "Do you know where we are, Y/n?"

"The Horde?"

"Hell. We are in Hell. This isn't Princess land, you've got to look out for yourself."

"That's a terrible thing to say, Catra."

"Well, it's true and that's why I'm Force Captain and you're just a Soldier."

"Yeah, but you're also willing to step on anyone that gets in your way."

"Maybe you should be more like me."

"I'd rather be dead."

"Well, if you ever," She steps closer to you, causing you to step back, "Try standing up to me again, I will give you death." She retracts her claws, bringing them close to your face.

You gulp, tilting your head up.

"Don't ever cross me again."

----

For the past two months, since the incident, Catra had decided to keep you close. She didn't need anyone thinking they could act like you and step up to her. If they saw that she kept you in line, they'd learn there are consequences.

She had you on cleaning duties, but she was always present when you did it. She said it was to make sure you did it right, but you think she has a sick twisted pleasure in watching people suffer.

You snarled, scrubbing at the walls of the cafeteria. Catra sat at one of the tables, her feet propped up on the table. She leaned on her hand and you looked up at her frustrated.

"Can I stop now? I've been doing this for 5 hours."

"I haven't broken a sweat."

"I hate you."

"I'll live. Besides I don't care."

You roll your eyes and continue to scrub. Catra gets up from her seat, stretching out her back. She sighs, before kneeing to your level, "Come with me."

"Where?"

"You ask to many questions. Come," She uses the 'Come here' motion.

You begrudgingly and reluctantly follow behind her. She took you down familiar paths and doors, before leading you to Cadet Rooms. You hadn't been in these rooms in ages.

"Lay down," She gestures to the bed that you assumed was once hers and Adora's.

You awkwardly lay on the uncomfortable bed, struggling to fit inside the small compartment. She laughed at your struggle and you glare at her. She jumps on you, practically sitting on your bladder, just like a fucking cat.

"God, Catra, can you move?"

She rolls her eyes, but moves her legs and scoots up your chest. She puts her pointer finger on your forehead, lightly pushing you back.

"Why don't you just lay down, Y/n?"

"This isn't a very comfortable bed, Catra."

"Nothing's comfortable in the Horde. Now shut up," She shoves you down, hard.

You groan when feeling the hard concrete-like beds slam into your back. God, you were now realizing why you had back problems. She slowly rubbed herself on you, confusing you.

You were going to question what the FUCK she was doing, but you heard her whimper the name 'Adora' and you made a face of realization. You tried pushing against her, but she quickly grabbed your hands.

"If you let me do this, you'll never have to clean the food court again."

You spread your legs and pulled back your hands, "So what are we doing?"

"WE're not doing anything. You're going to shut up and I'm going to do what I want," She gets off you, before grabbing something from a cabinet.

You were scared, but it was just a cadet's headset. You were confused, but she put it on you and your vision was obscured. You could no longer see Catra, but you could feel her rubbing against you.

"You're such a bitch," You could feel her hands grip your throat. You reached for her, trying to stop her, "I don't know why you left. Why you think those stupid princesses are better than me."

You could feel your face redden at the buzzing sound of Catra's voice. Where these helmets always bad at taking in sound? Huh, maybe you had a hearing problem? You could feel the removal of your pants and you froze.

"Um Catra-"

"Shut up, Adora."

You could feel her sharp claws get threateningly close to your neck. She slowly thrusted into you back and forth. The only thing you could hear was her light moans of Adora's name and 'Yes! Mmmm, yeah! Ahhh.' Man, you wish you were on whatever the hell she was on.

You then felt something wet run across your cervix. The claws you were terrified of, but would never admit due to your pride, were circling around your clit, pressing into it. You could feel her stick her tongue down your vagina, and squish your gummy walls.

Catra could feel your gummy walls squeeze and flush against her sharp tongue. Your body shivers as you feel her little spines roughly groom your insides. She licked up your opening, making sure you're soaked.

There was a long drown of silence and you thought it was over. That was until you felt Catra grab one of your thighs and lifting it up. She pushed her pussy into your, causing you to loudly moan.

She heard you, causing her to smirk to herself, "Aww, look at you, enjoying it?"

She wasn't actually asking, it was just teasing. She continued to thrust into you, her moans echoing in your ears.

"Adora... Adora... ADORA!" She moaned loudly, before everything slows down.

You can hear her get off the bed and what sounds like her putting on clothes.

"If you ever tell anyone about this, I'll kill you."

You nodded your head, totally on board with keeping this between you both. And then you heard the door shut. You went to move your hands, but you quickly realized you were immobilized.

Oh god, did that bitch tie you up?

[adorawasright]

i don't think it's a very popular ship but what do you think about catra x lonnie?

obviously they had zero romantic interactions in canon, but just based off their personalities, do you think they would make an interesting couple? i feel like a rivals to lovers trope could be done between them, if written by actually good writers.

Now... that's a ship I never thought about, honestly.

I mostly think of Adora x Lonnie personally, because I feel like canon Catra and Lonnie's relationship is too hostile to me. But you know, I would've liked Lonnie to have a bigger role in Catra's arc. Or a bigger role in the Horde, honestly. It surprises me Lonnie was never Force Captain or something like that. Like maybe she proves herself and she and Catra start working together. Lonnie resents Adora for leaving as well, so maybe they could bond there? From the little we know about Lonnie, she seems cynical but also observant of her surroundings. That could've worked with Catra, I believe, who refuses to let anyone see her insecurities. And instead of shaming Catra for it, maybe Lonnie reluctantly starts having heart-to-hearts with her.

As much as I like Scorpia, Lonnie seemed to actually take things seriously. And of course, her having more of a role would actually deepen the supposed friendship Catra and Adora have with the Horde trio.

Well, this is all I could really think of, and I hope it makes sense. I still can't really see anything romantic between them, even with these scenarios I came up with, but I do think it would be better than C//A lmao.

[spopsalt]

Hi friend, today we are gonna discuss or talk about Rogelio x Kyle ship because the ship is not but actually so scary/srs

let's stars: Scorpia says out of the blue that Kyle has a crush on Rogelio but if you pause and take a minute to think it it's wierd and disgusting because Kyle is a person and Rogelio an animal. Remember that Rogelio is not like C*tr*, his not a human, his a lizard . I mean what the shows says is that a person ( in this case, Kyle ) has a crush on an animal ( in this case, Rogelio ) and that's zoophile. I mean, it took me hour to realize why i felt the ship was wrong and then i realize Nate created a zoophile ship. Idk ic C*tradora counts too because yes C*tr* is an animal a cat but she's also a human so idk but still awfull. But well, i don't have any questions but i would like to know your opinion about this

I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who feels this way! I love Kyle but Rogelio is a literal lizard, he is not shown to be able to talk like Catra, he only speaks in grunts and him and Kyle are never shown to understand each other, Rogelio and Lonnie are the only ones shown to understand each other consistently, Rogelio is never shown to understand Kyle, and Kyle is never shown to understand Rogelio, which just makes the ship really icky for me. At least Catra, despite being a horrible person who did not deserve Adora was shown to speak and understand Adora.

[antispopausandstuff]

no one asked, but here we go:

.

every spop-centered AU i have so far ( most of them are not public and just live in my brain or in some discord chat )

.

Virtues Universe - A universe that centers around Adora and Catra's ( positive ) sisterly relationship, Catra joining the Rebellion alongside her sister. Includes Adonnie and Catfuma ( Adora x Lonnie, Catra x Perfuma ) and Adora becoming a Rebellion Leader before becoming She-Ra ( in s2 ). I think this is the one AU I have where Catra isn't a bad person, lol.

Her Heart Universe - A universe where Adora is an alien on Earth, and is in the care of Mara and Razz. Includes learning values, social struggles, and episodic stories turning into a serialized "we gotta get our shit together or die" story.

Two Suns Universe - A universe where the key sibling relationship is Adora and Kyle, rather than Adora and Catra. Includes loving siblings, redemption arcs, Crimson Waste Kyle, and Kyle x Rogelio x Bow. Lots of Kyle love.

The Wilted Flower Universe - A universe where Adora's 'dead' ( bc Catra ), but her spirit resides, and She-Ra has taken over her form, desperate to keep her wielder alive. Includes a lot of violence, arguing, and blood, as She-Ra is unhinged in this universe and I love it. Not self-cest or a She-Ra x Adora AU, don't be weird.

Pearl Of The Sea Universe - A universe where Adora is a mermaid and Entrapta finds her in her boss' lab. Includes lovers to enemies to ??? ( entrapdak ), found family, and typical corrupted workforce.

Until It Ends Universe - A universe where Adora suffers from amnesia, She-Ra is an unknown entity, and the only thing she remembers is the Sword of Protection and is meant to serve it and its legacy. Includes folklore, forming friendships, ??? to enemies ( catra ), and discovering lost memories. Inspired by BOTW.

Ready To Go Universe - A modern universe where Adora and co use social media to boost their cafe's reputation. Includes Angella being Adora's mother figure, long distance relationships, found family ( again ), and cutting ties.

The Ghost Of Her Universe - A universe where Adora is a ghost, and a friend of hers tries to figure out how she died. And Glimmer and Bow are there too. Includes abusive background, manipulation of the higher-ups ( SW and Catra don't talk about why she died ), and friendly, but sad ghost.

To Be Loved Universe - A universe in the process of being reworked, but is essentially a s5 rewrite ( with some rewritten details of previous seasons ), and Adora is allowed to swear. Incluces Catra being a cunt and getting told to fuck off, rebuilding friendships, and an unexpected pairing.

Can't Sleep Universe - A universe focused around my c*tradora kid, Elizabeth Randor ( Izzy ), who is very bitter and angry with her parents ( mostly Catra ). Includes abuse, divorce arc ( that's a thing, apparently ), and healing.

The Whispering Woods Universe - A universe where Adora is raised by Madame Razz and Light Hope and is a fierce protector of the Whispering Woods, setting up traps and making spells. She-Ra most likely doesn't exist in this AU. Includes learning about the past, Grandma // Grandkid dynamic, and Adora being a nerd.

Desert's Flowers Universe - A universe where Entrapta raises Adora instead after the little one runs away from the Horde. Includes loving mother, family to complicated, strangers to allies to friends to ??? to enemies ( entrapdak again ), and Horde Prime being a douche.

The Lightning's Song Universe - A universe where Adora was locked away in the Prison Dimension for 100 years, and is considered a 'corrupted heroine'. However, Glimmer and Bow decide to unleash her, hoping she'd be their best bet against the Horde. Includes discovering the truth, unhinged rageful Adora ( we stan ), and earning trust.

The Soulmates Universe - A more historian universe where Adora and Bow have to fake-marry for social reasons, and struggle with internalized queerphobia as they fall in love with people that aren't each other. Includes best friends, what love really means, and identity metaphors.

.

Cross-Over Universes

Danganronpa - Adora is the Ultimate Warrior, who may be considered the 'second Mukuro', depending on who you ask. Is best friends with Sakura and Hina ( including others ).

Teen Titans - Adora gets involved in a freak accident and is sent to the TT universe and joins the group. Adora x Starfire is a thing.

Sonic the Hedgehog - Light-hearted fun, mainly just Adora thinking Sonic is really cool and vice-versa.

Mario - Again, simply light-hearted fun, Adora thinks Peach is amazing and has her as an idol.

Voltron - I know. I know. But she'd be best friends with Lance, and that's all the reason I need.

almost all AUs feature Catra getting her ass whooped.

[call-me-double-trouble]

💚

Sorry it took me so long to get to this! I have had ZERO free time recently.

I want to talk about WrongTrouble, AKA, Wrong Hordak x Double Trouble. It was the first DT ship that I liked, and I think it has really cute potential. As another Tumblr user put it (can't remember their username, sorry!), WrongTrouble could be like the Roger and Jessica Rabbit of the SPOP universe. I know a lot of people like this ship, as well, so let's get into it!

Long post under cut.

Aside from how cute they'd be together, I think a big reason a lot of people ship them is because Wrongie and DT are among the only of the cast that don't pair off with anyone at the end. Adora gets Catra, Glimmer gets Bow, Perfuma gets Scorpia, Mermista gets Sea Hawk, and even Hordak gets Entrapta! Lonnie, Kyle, and Rogelio have a polycule situation going on, Huntara is PROBABLY living her best lesbian life, and Swift Wind is a horse. There aren't many hot singles available in their area after the finale.

However, Wrongie and DT don't have a "there's no one left, so you're my last resort" vibe, even if that may have influenced their pairing for fans. There's just something people love about the trope of a dopey, silly guy pulling a suave sex-bomb with how genuine and funny he can be. He doesn't have to match their rizz, he just has to make them laugh, and I think Wrongie could be a refreshing relationship for DT.

Wrongie has this naiveté about him which makes him charming and cute, but he does genuinely want to be helpful and did his part to take down Horde Prime after being freed from the hive mind. I think we're also able to avoid the "born sexy yesterday" trope here because DT is not the first or only person Wrongie knows, so he does have people to compare them to, and DT is far from a generic, bland self-insert for the audience.

I think Wrongie would be an easy target for manipulation by DT at first, that maybe they'd trick him into saying something embarrassing in a meeting or pulling some pranks with them. I feel like the other SPOP characters might even warn Wrongie to steer clear of DT, but something about them draws him back in. They're just so much fun, even if it may be at his expense sometimes, and they're so clever and attractive, so it couldn't hurt to keep spending time with them, right?

DT enjoys their new toy, and he's pretty easy on the eyes, too. But he's just someone to use, nothing more, nothing serious. Ok, so his smile might be contagious, but DT is too much of a professional to fall for someone, especially someone as gullible as Wrong Hordak. He's a real peach, for sure, and they do value their friendship with him--he's made staying at Bright Moon a lot more entertaining--but that's all this is, just a platonic companionship. Definitely. 100%. ...

Wrongie gets feelings first, but he doesn't know what to make of them. He's never experienced such an emotion before. Why is his heart palpitating when he's near them? Why did a tingle run up his back when they leaned against his shoulder at the meeting? Why does he get sweaty when they hold his hand while they run away together from the scene of a prank? Why does he value the sound of their laugh more than anything in the world?

He seeks answers from the person who's taught him the most--Entrapta. Luckily, in her studies of people, she's able to find the answer he seeks. She explains attraction and romantic inclinations to him in a scientific manner, and this helps him understand better. Entrapta tells him he can make his feelings known by "flirting." Wrongie isn't sure if he can do that correctly, but he'll try!

His first attempts make him look more foolish than anything, and they don't really read as flirting. Perhaps loudly declaring that DT's jokes were, "VERY COMEDIC! DON'T YOU AGREE, BROTHERS?" at dinner wasn't the best move, nor was telling them that their scales were "SMOOTH AND GREEN, MUCH LIKE NOURISHING AMNIOTIC FLUID!" once again, loudly. Holding the door open for them worked the first time, but then when he insisted on opening EVERY door for them, including to the bathroom, they told him to go "help" someone else for awhile.

He wasn't going to give up, yet, but he needed to ask someone else for advice. His friends were all so good at loving relationships; surely they could help him! He confided in Glimmer and Bow first, who were shocked he'd fallen for DT. Glimmer tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't hear it. Bow actually thought it could be a good idea to give DT some entertainment that wasn't at the detriment of others. He felt that Wrongie could be a good influence on them, and that they probably were a little lonely since their bestie, Catra, had been spending more and more time with Adora and less and less time with them.

Now, if you asked DT, they wouldn't admit to being lonely. No, they were doing perfectly fine! They had themselves--the best company they could ask for--and their darling Wrongie. They didn't need that lousy Kitten--they didn't even MISS her! She wasn't paying their bills anymore, anyway, so she didn't matter to them anymore. Why are you giving them that skeptical look? They swear, darling! She's dead to them! So, why are they staring at her and Adora with jealousy? Erm, no reason. Just collecting blackmail--spy stuff, you wouldn't understand. Now scram.

Wrongie got some good advice from Bow on how to go about expressing his feelings. DT had caught onto his sad attempts at flirting, though, and decided to flirt back just to tease him. After turning his face bright red and short-circuiting his brain, Wrong Hordak blurted out that he wanted to take them on a date. DT laughed, but eventually decided, "What the heck?" and agreed.

The date went so well that DT ended up asking him on a second, and they had a mini-crisis about it. Them? Falling for someone? Impossible! But he was such a charmer, in his own way, and they hadn't ever been with someone who was so genuine. It was a refreshing change of pace, and even though they hated being wrapped around anyone's finger, they decided it may be worth the risk for Wrongie.

They started dating steadily, and though DT denied it for awhile, they became an official couple. As soon as DT stopped letting their pride get to them, they were the worst perpetrator of PDA, constantly nuzzling and hugging and pecking Wrongie every time they saw him. Wrongie was just happy to make them so happy. They worked together surprisingly well, and Wrongie did end up being a positive influence on DT and kept them out of trouble...well, out of catastrophic amounts of trouble. No one can contain their chaos.

Thank you for the ask! I really appreciate it!

Summary: After the school decides to do a majors switch Adora, Catra, Glimmer, Bow, you and Scorpia are mixed and everyone is sure as hell out of their element, but then Adora gets to know you

—————————

When Principal Lightspinner announced the major swap project, half the senior class groaned, while the rest exchanged nervous glances.

“Remember,” she said sternly, “this is an opportunity to broaden your horizons, step out of your comfort zones, and learn from your peers.”

Adora shot a confident grin at Catra. “This will be a piece of cake.”

Catra rolled her eyes. “Sure, soldier girl. Let’s see how you handle a month in the animal studies program.”

Meanwhile, you sighed, nervously glancing at Adora. Sharing a major with her felt like a dream and a nightmare wrapped into one. Adora was effortlessly charismatic, impossibly cute, and the main reason your heart skipped every other beat.

But now? Now, you’d be forced to work alongside her in military prep. Fantastic.

The first day of the swap set the tone for the chaos to come.

Catra, unsurprisingly, adapted to engineering with ease. By the end of her first workshop, she’d reprogrammed a drone, earning Bow’s awe and the scorn of the other engineering students who’d struggled to keep up with her natural knack for mechanics.

Bow, on the other hand, had a much rougher time in military prep.

“What is wrong with you, Bow?” barked Lonnie, the most intense cadet in the program.

Bow stammered, fumbling with his rifle during a drill. “I-I’m trying! It’s—”

“Drop and give me 20!”

He looked so pitiful that you couldn’t help stepping in. “Hey, go easy on him,” you said, earning glares from the other cadets.

Adora, already smitten with your kindness, found herself watching you closely.

As for Adora in animal studies? She was… enthusiastic but clumsy. Within the first hour, she had been pecked by a goose, nipped by a ferret, and had fallen headfirst into a pile of hay after tripping over a water bucket.

“I thought this would be relaxing!” Adora groaned, holding up her bandaged hand.

You were struggling in military prep too but managed to avoid outright humiliation. However, your constant efforts to shield Bow from the wrath of Lonnie and the other cadets didn’t earn you many friends.

After two weeks of disasters, the organizers decided to pair the students with their original major partners to help each other adapt.

Catra rolled her eyes. “Great. Now I have to babysit Bow while he learns to solder.”

Bow laughed nervously. “Thanks, Catra. Really looking forward to this.”

Glimmer and Scorpia were bickering even before their first session together.

“This treaty is fine!” Scorpia snapped, gesturing to her mock negotiation notes.

“Yeah, if you’re trying to start a war,” Glimmer replied, her smile never faltering.

Meanwhile, you and Adora began working together to make sense of your swapped majors.

On training field Adora was a surprisingly patient teacher.

“Okay, you’re doing great,” she encouraged as you practiced disassembling and reassembling a rifle.

You gave her a skeptical look. “You say that, but I just dropped the bolt for the fifth time.”

Adora chuckled, her eyes softening. “Hey, it’s better than Bow. He dropped the whole rifle.”

The warmth in her voice made your cheeks heat up.

But later that day, your attempt at an obstacle course ended with you slipping off a rope and twisting your ankle. Adora was by your side in an instant.

“You’re hurt,” she said, her tone serious as she helped you sit on a bench.

“I’m fine,” you muttered, wincing as she examined your leg.

“No, you’re not. Let me take care of it.”

You were reluctant, but her insistence—and surprising skill with a medical kit—left you quietly impressed.

Two days later, it was your turn to guide Adora.

“You’re telling me I have to give that a shot?” Adora asked, staring nervously at a grumpy-looking goat.

You nodded, holding the syringe. “Yes, and it’s not as scary as it looks. The goat’s just being dramatic.”

Adora hesitated, biting her lip. “What if I hurt it?”

You smiled, your voice soft. “You won’t. It’s for her own good.”

Adora exhaled deeply and took the syringe. With your guidance, she administered the shot, flinching more than the goat did.

“You’re braver than you think,” you told her, patting her arm.

Adora felt her heart skip a beat.

In the common room one evening, the group gathered to decompress. You and Catra sat side by side, chatting comfortably while you absentmindedly braided her hair.

Adora watched from across the room, her stomach twisting. She’d never seen Catra so relaxed with anyone else before. Was there something going on between you and Catra?

Later, when the others had left, Adora cornered Catra.

“So, uh, you and her… are you two, like, a thing?”

Catra snorted. “What? No.”

Adora blinked. “You’re not?”

“Wow, Adora, jealous much?” Catra teased, grinning.

Adora’s cheeks turned bright red.

Catra smirked. “Relax, lover girl. If you’re so interested, why don’t you just tell her?”

The month was almost over, and Adora couldn’t keep her feelings bottled up any longer. One afternoon, while working with you at the sanctuary, she blurted it out.

“You’re amazing, you know that?” Adora said suddenly, her voice trembling.

You looked up from the feed bag you were carrying. “What?”

Adora took a deep breath. “I—I really like you. Would you maybe, I don’t know, want to go out with me sometime?”

You froze, staring at her in shock.

From a distance, Catra and Glimmer watched the scene unfold.

“Told you she’d crack first,” Catra said smugly, holding out her hand.

Glimmer groaned and slapped a ten-dollar bill into her palm.

Back at the sanctuary, you broke into a shy smile. “Yeah, Adora. I’d like that.”

Adora’s face lit up brighter than the sun, and for the first time all month, she felt like she’d finally done something right.

Adora x Lonnie has that yearning from the other side of the battlefield thing that people claim C//A has, but absolutely does not.

It's a shame they have so little fics (maybe I'll fix that one day), most of the ones I found in their tag was Lonnie being jealous of Catra because she had a crush on Adora. Do no get me started on the fic I saw that featured Adonnie as an abusive relationship that Catra had to save Adora from.

For sureeee I’m in love with Adonnie 🩷 As a concept, mostly, because I get why it’s difficult to put these two into practice (Lonnie is a character by the skin of her teeth). I wrote Adonnie only once before and… God, it was nice. It’s hard not to want to see these two together because of the respect they’d no doubt have for each other as people, soldiers, veterans, (as She-Ra)…

Absolutely swing some fics my way (links in inbox or DMs) if anyone wants to share their Adora ships >:)c

It would really make my day to read some sweet, narratively compelling Adonnie! Write those fics, Anon! Be the change you wanna see in the world!

What if character X became She-Ra?

Adora - the show

Glimmer - All the powers she ever dreamt on PLUS the political power as defacto leader of the princess alliance PLUS the one everyone looks up to for moral judgement calls and the one everyone expects to save them from all the ills of the world. I'm sure that responsibility and call to her overwhemling hubris won't target her crippling insecurities or anythying.

Bow - Wait, who's that masked stranger? It's BOW-RA! HERE TO SAVE YOU, CITIZEN. Plays really well at defence but not the offensive force for the Princess Alliance that Adora was. Also, you know how stressed he is to be the Friend Guy that tries to keep everything together? Now he's the friend-guy with the entire WORLD.

Catra - The Horde is fucking WRECKED in a week. Hordak is dead. Catra sits on the throne. Shadow Weaver… bows for Cat-Ra in deepest respect. She tells her that she was wrong to treat Catra the way she did. She always, secretly, respected Catra. She… YOINK! SWORD STOLEN! HAH, CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT.

Shadow Weaver - Run. Just run.

Angella - Finally she can keep everyone safe. The sound of cannons outside the wall? If she tries REALLY hard sometimes she can block that sound out.

Micha - Would turn out pretty much like Adora, I think.

Lonnie - the war is over in a day. I hope your opinion of "peace" is "magically enforced military dictatorship", because that's what you are getting - regardless of which side she is on.

Entrapta - SCIENCE! Forget heroics, someone just handed ENTRAPTA the master admin password for the entire PLANET! She can run Doom on this thing. Just look out for when she starts overclocking.

Mermista - SEA-RA! (Being a hero is too much like work, once the heroics grow stale. But everything considered the war wouldn't be TOO different from the main show. Also - Sea Hawk would be even more insufferable, singing her praise).

Perfuma - Good vibes for EVERYONE. She would try SO HARD to find peaceful solutions, but once in awhile give in to the temptation of hitting people with flowers.

Frosta - WINTER'S BANE WILL PUNCH EVERYONE UNTIL THE GROWNUPS STOP BEING IDIOTS ABOUT EVERYTHING!

Scorpia - Oh, gosh... um, sorry about breaking stuff?

Hordak - On no, magic is heretic. Not even Horde Prime… can… stand… against it… punches a hole in reality, stomps up to the Velvet Glove "HI FATHER-BROTHER, ARE YOU FINALLY PROUD OF ME?"
