#catra & shadow weaver

[cletusthurstonbeauregard]

another old-account exhumation, for those who missed it the first time.

[xenaisnumber1]

I've wondered why Glimmer was so quick to forgive Catra.

But then I realized that she experienced Shadow Weaver's manipulation herself. You see Shadow Weaver do the same thing that she did to Adora and Catra to get what she wants. And after Glimmer mom has just died she more susceptible to Shadow Weaver influence.

And what Shadow Weaver does to Catra that she has no doubt done before.

And after Glimmer realized that Shadow Weaver used her, she has to realize that Catra experienced worse with Shadow Weaver, which is why she is the way she is.

And the fact Catra both saves her and is actively trying to change makes it easy for her to forgive Catra. And you have to wonder if the reason why Glimmer was able to resist Shadow Weaver influence more than the other two was because she actually knows what a mother's love feels like.

Shadow Weaver: I have raised Catra and Adora to be so strong

Glimmer: You fucked up some perfectly good lesbians is what you did. Look at them. They've got anxiety.

Thinking about how Hunter was probably so touch starved he sought out any comforting touch he could get even if it was just manipulation (I’m in the trenches)

HE’S JUST A BOY!!!!! HE WANTED TO BE LOVED!!

since we don't know much about scorpia's history and she was introduced to catra for the first time once they were both late teens already, i have to wonder based on the implications there why scorpia wasn't part of shadow weaver's segment of the fright zone? or at least, how does that system work and who's running the others, such as the one scorpia was probably a part of? and why were they kept apart if they didn't know each other existed before (aside from the fact scorpia had already been a force captain while catra just became one, but it still seems like they should have interacted sometimes)? this also goes for adora too, especially if she would have stayed and filled her new promotional role. additionally, scorpia was present in the portal’s alternate reality with catra and adora, so i’m not sure if that says anything…?

i just don't buy the idea that the kids we saw grow up together were only confined to each other for so many years. it could've helped catra to know there was another humanoid hybrid just like her earlier in life (i don't count rogelio because he's not really human enough at all and doesn't seem to speak or communicate effectively with words).

i mean, it would make sense for such a powerful sorceress who seized control of the black garnet to have a watchful eye over the princess whom that runestone belongs to. plus scorpia knew she was a princess and that it used to belong to her (although she didn't know forging a connection would give her magical powers and/or set off the heart of etheria), so it's not liking hiding anything from her was necessary, and the way she talked about her family lineage so openly made it seem like it wasn't very secretive or shameful in the horde.

i dunno, just some random thoughts while being reminded of the s4 finale events. if anyone has any interpretations and/or explanations to add, that would be awesome!

It drives me insane how misunderstood Catra is, both in-universe and in-audience. I can talk about this forever. But for now I just hate how people don't understand that no actually Catra isn't lazy or a slacker. She's just a pragmatist. They already showed us multiple times where she did put in the effort and tried her best, both in general (the training simulation flashback in promise) and regarding shadow weaver's approval. Especially the latter. She did everything right. Succeeded when everyone failed. And yet not only was she not proud of her, she didn't even acknowledge her or her work, I think in after princess prom it finally solidified in Catra's mind (for the first but not last time) that it doesn't matter what she does, shadow weaver will never treat her or see her differently.

Thought I'd go ahead and just drop all the Spop but bad characters

Shadow Weaver's PR team told her not to talk to Catra and Adora.

I've been thinking about this comic for weeks.

[canibalistic-brownie]

Okay so we’ve already figured out that to propose or get married that Adora gives Catra her pin:

Super cute! It’s the first thing that signified her defection and something she holds near and dear to her heart and is always wearing! Love to see it!

But what did Catra give to Adora is always the question I see and I haven’t seen a solid answer but here is my hypothesis:

You see that gem on her head? Look familiar? No? How about now:

I think that Catra kept those shards from her mask. I think that was the only jewelry or gem she had and so she shined that bad boy up and put it in a tiara.

To Catra those gems signified her breaking free from her abuser and finally turning the scales. It meant showing not only her abuser but showing HERSELF that she was strong enough and I think it meant just as much to her as the rebellion pin did to Adora.

So yeah, it’s fuck shadow weaver o’clock 24/7 here and I stand by that. If anyone has made this theory before I apologize, I simply did not find it.

Glimmer: I understand now why I shouldn't have trusted Shadow Weaver. Adora told me she was dangerous, why didn't I listen to her?

Catra: Let me guess, she never explained WHY she was dangerous or how she had hurt us. She just gave you vague details and expected you to make decisions with long term effects based on trust alone. Am I right?

Glimmer: Wha-- YES! How did you..?

Catra: ...

Glimmer: Oh... Ohhhh.

best way to realise that she-ra 2018 is not specifically about War is to realise that the princesses who have unquestioned rule over everything call themselves The Rebellion when they fight back against the evil invading horde who has actually not managed to invade much of anything at all
