#adora's au is called wolf in sheep's clothing cuz i'm unoriginal

[antispopausandstuff]

i get why people can get tired of the "dead parent // person not actually being dead" trope, but i do like when writers kinda put twists on them.

for example, i now have two AUs where either Angella managed to escape the 'dimension between realms' ( or wtv it is ) or Adora gets trapped there instead and also eventually escapes.

but, either way, it changes them.

inspired by 'Wolf In Sheep's Clothing Reborn' by Set It Off, Adora becomes angry, vindictive, and unapologetic, in regards to Catra and, eventually, the Horde. aside from the scars from when she was on Etheria, there are now 'corrupted' // iridescent scars on her body from her time in the in-between and the blast from the sword. and, on top of that, the Sword of Protection is broken.

with no She-Ra and only her unbridled grief and rage, Adora puts the fear of God in Catra and proves herself to be a danger to the Horde. she is, quite literally, too angry to die. and she plans to make the problem of everyone who dared to scar her.

as for Angella...

being immortal, living in the in-between with no one but vague whispers of the past around her, some from her own people, was a Hell in its own right. she didn't have the peace of dying. of seeing her husband at the end of the tunnel.

with her own grief, she is stuck in a cycle of despair and mental decline. in a sort of memory loss, she begins to slowly forget her own soul, as a form of utter heartbreak. her hope is lost.

then, she comes back.

like Adora would, she has scars from her time in the in-between.

and Glimmer is older. she's Queen.

and Angella knows that there was a time Glimmer was a child. logically, that just made sense. but...

she can't remember it.

Angella's story is inspired by this comic by spidertams.

devastated women.
