Entrapta: Apparently, Hordak is into being tied up by my hair.

Adora: Stop it... I don't want to hear about my father figure's fetishes...

Domesticated Villain Trope

So over in the tag for Trigun - the fandom I am currently active in (I haven't re-watched She-Ra in probably over a year, I'm fully back on my age old space-cowboy bullshit now) someone brought up an official poster-art that appears in the Trigun Art Book for the first 1998 anime. I know it's there, I have that artbook. I don't know if it should be considered canon as the scene was never actually in the show, but it is official post-credits art. If you've watched the show, it's freaking hilarious. Beware spoilers. (Note: No bearing on the Trigun Maximum manga, which goes a different way, nor on Trigun: Stampede, the reboot series which has only run its first season as yet). Anyway, the funniest thing about this poster is that... the good guys of the series, all cheerful and fun-loving? Plus a silly cat? They're surrounding and glomming onto a guy (guy in the red and white spacesuit) who has single-handedly murdered millions of people, including his and his twin brother's mom. And this isn't some Y7 show, the original show was PG to PG-13 (the manga and Stampede are definitely R) and even the lighter original anime had a lot of on-screen deaths. With guns. Quite graphic for a teen-anime, actually (and the original manga is just buckets of blood and full-out gore). Long story short, I flashed back to Hordak and how the She-Ra fandom treats him and debates his redeemability. During the fandom-fights, I always flashed back to Trigun and how both fandom and canon kind of wanted to redeem an actual genocider (Knives was well-crafted and had a sympathetic motivation) vs. "Guy pokes around in his lab all day and does light hands-off torture for lying in his ranks and just sends people to exile and half the fandom wants to kill him. Fun." Conversely, Hordak's fans have done fanart after fanart and fanfic after fanfic doing cute domestic-life stuff with him, making him Entrapta's househusband and having him begrudingly work with the good guys on rebuilding and space-diplomacy missions. Domesticated Antagonist Trope has gotta be one of my favorite things. I'm thinking if I can get more back into She-Ra, maybe I'll do a parody-drawing of that Trigun-poster, even though I suspect very few Spop fans will get it. Hordak crosses his arms, Adora hangs on around his neck like Vash, Scorpia's in the background, there's Entrapta holding Imp and there's an annoyed Catra sitting on the edge of the bench.

27, 41 and 45 for Hordak, please?

Thank you for the ask!

27. Their guilty pleasure Better ask what isn't Hordak's guilty pleasure X) He totally needs to learn how to enjoy things without shame first Anyway, I think the biggest one is his sensitive ears being touched, massaged or played with by Entrapta. He'd never admit that he enjoys it as much as he does, and that he secretly gets upset when she stops And another one is lounging on the sun like a big cat. It seems like Hordak hardly if ever saw the sun back in the Fright Zone (not even talking about the Galactic Horde), less felt its warmth on his skin. The feeling is still unusual to him, yet very pleasant. I call this his guilty pleasure because Hordak thinks its very unproductive plus makes him look too silly 41. If they could have lunch with anyone in the world (living or dead, from any fictional universe or the real world), who would it be? Honestly, I just want him to have lunch, doesn't matter who's sitting next to him. Let the boy eeeat! But for gits and shiggles I'd like to see him hang out with another version of himself. Be it Hordak from the 80s show or any other MOTU Hordak. It'd be fun 45. Their favorite celebrity

Hhhm I can't see Hordak as someone who'd care about or even know any celebs/famous ppl. The only person Hordak stans is his wife! :p However, I still think he'd like someone like Mana-sama or Atsushi Sakurai and find them very inspirational. Because ~gender~

[hordak-sama]

Yeah Hordak-sama 😍😍😍... Ok, I want to make more fanarts making parody The Way of the Househusband

I customized my sketchbook for my Entrapdak fanarts with a fanart I made about Hordak a long time ago 😗.

Well I had made the sketchbook a while ago and I was already using it for my traditional fanarts or sketches about Entrapdak but honestly I told myself I should personalize the cover with one of my Entrapdak fanarts and well here it is 😄💙💜❤️

I made this fanart about Hordak making parody of The Way of the Househusband anime 😆. Here my post about this fanart.

Here my video about my process 😄😄.

[entrapdak-or-hordapta]

When you want to leave quietly but….🤣🤣🤣

Ok here remembering my favorite Entrapdak moments, and these are the funniest for me, I know it's a cliché but I love it anyway, you try to leave fast and quietly and poof! you crash into something and do more than car horn 🤣🤣🤣

I still like Entrapdak a lot like it was yesterday that I started following this beautiful ship (practically canon by the way). And well, this blog is already 3 years old, thanks for following up and continuing to love the Entrapdak 😚😚😚😚💯💯💯

���⏩ Then, the full video of the scene (with sound) or the last one when Hordak faints and she runs to him it's so Awww 😍😍😍

Top 10 Favorite Anime/Animation I watched this year

10. The Misfit of Demon King Academy

This was one of those “it’s new so imma watch it cuz i’m bored” shows but it turned out to be fairly decent. The show was particularly amusing with the magic and completely OP main which is why it made my top 10 for this year.

9.Nil Admirari no Tenbin

When it comes to reverse harem’s, this is a good one! This is adapted from an otome game so if you want to get with all the guys, you can ;). From all the male lead choices I prefer Akira, however it is on my top ten for it’s sheer ability to make me melt with all these sexy 2D men!

8. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

I really thought that Demon Slayer, especially with it’s AMAZING animation and story that it’d be lower on the numbered list, however, despite it’s incredible everything I just found the other ones on my list to be more in the forefront of my mind. it is still an AMAZING anime and if you haven’t seen it (come on, who hasn’t?!), I highly recommend it!

7.  That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

I was suprised when I was thinking of my top anime watched of this year that my mind went so quickly to Slime. It’s my fiance’s favorite anime currently but I found that it was a generally feel good anime with an OP mc. It’s one of those animes you can watch without getting heartburn/be fearful for really bad things happening, which was a breath of fresh air for me (a lot of the time I like watching things that rip my soul out lol).

6. Tower of God

Oookay...Tower of God was sooo good. The animation is a bit rough for the first few episodes but, it being a Webtoon first, I can see why I liked it so much. The story is very ‘hunger games’, and I love that vibe being put into an anime. There will undoubtedly be more of this series in the future (the webtoon is extremely long, to which i don’t have the fortitude to start ^_^’‘) and I can’t wait to see more of it. Also, Bam x Khun ship gives me life.

5. The Millionaire Detective: Balance Unlimited

This anime came out of no where for me! I saw some posts on tumblr of a sexy slicked-back-hair guy and bing-bam-boom, i watched each episode the day it came out. I was hooked and not just cuz I ship both the lead boys together (i mean, kinda a little but..*ahem*) but it gave me the fix I needed for an investigative anime that I’ve been looking for for a while now. 

4. Castlevania (Season 3)

Being incredibly impressed by the first 2 season, it’s no surprise this is number 4 for me. It just got better and better, animation and writing. I cannot wait for the next season! Not to mention that Lenore x Hector ship was all kinds-a spicy.

3. Kaguya-sama: Love is War (Season 2)

Number 3 and for good reason. It has comedy, romance, slapstick, and general fun-time atmosphere that anyone can watch and be entertained. I cannot wait for another season and OVA! It definitely kept the COVID blues away while I was stuck inside.

2. She-Ra & The Princesses of Power (All 5 seasons)

I just recently watched She-Ra on recommendation of @tenkinos​ and it did not disappoint which is why it was #2 spot. A bit quirky at times (Seahawk) and angsty (Catra), and painstakingly stubborn and brave (Adora), every character had something to offer and I love that in any animated show. It’s definitely a Netflix show to remember and watch if you haven’t already.

1. Violet Evergarden Movie: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll

The very best i’ve seen this year has GOT to be Violet Evergarden movie. The animation is like nothing I’ve ever seen and there’s such subtle beauty in everything that’s drawn and written that it was no competition for me. Eventhough this particular movie came out in 2019, I watched it in 2020. I haven’t seen the NEW NEW one yet, okay... ^_^’

***There were certainly MANY anime/shows that I watched this year (being in COVID furlough from my job for the better part of it), so here are some other mentions that were also very very good but I didn’t put them on the top 10 for ‘technical’ reasons b/c I watched them before 2020 or they just weren’t enough to make the list for me. ^_^’

Jujutsu Kaisen (currently watching and it is phenomenal)

Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

The Dragon Prince (Season 3)

Kakegurui

Dragon’s Dogma

The most beautiful scene!!!

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018 – 2020)

[lilyginnyblackv2]

Here is the scene of Hordak defying Horde Prime in Japanese. I’m not really good with tech stuff, so the quality isn’t all that great, and I cut it off a bit abruptly because in the ending shot you can REALLY see me, lol. (you’ll have to turn up the volume a lot probably, my hands are shaky, and you can definitely see me in the background at one point, lol). But yeah, there are some interesting things to note here:

First, I talked about Horde Prime’s Speech Patterns in another post, you can find it on my She-ra in Japanese Masterpost, which is linked to my blog. Essentially, he uses some old man speech patterns. But I want to focus more on some of the things that Hordak says and on something amusing that I found while watching Hordak clips in the previous seasons.

When I checked out Hordak scenes in previous seasons in the Japanese dub, I realized that they made Hordak’s voice sound a bit modified. Like, it was deeper, more intimidating, and it had an almost mechanical, echo-y sort of sound to it (that I don’t believe is present in the English). But, in this season, when his previous armor, suit, and extra stuff have all been replaced and he has been...reprogrammed...so to speak, that aspect is gone. This leads me to believe that the implication was that he was modifying his voice before to sound more intimidating, lmao, he would! 

Getting back to the scene above though. I don’t have anything to really say about Entrapta. She uses female speech patterns and that’s about it. Pretty much all of the female characters do (from what I’ve heard so far) with the exception of one. Hordak’s speech patterns are all pretty common too. Nothing really all that noteworthy there, except that he uses 私 (watashi) like Horde Prime does, and that is a gender-neutral way to refer to oneself. The really interesting thing here are some of the word choices. 

Back in Season 4, Episode 13, when Horde Prime finally shows up in Etheria and Hordak sees him again, Hordak refers to Horde Prime as 兄上 (aniue), this means “older brother,” but it is 尊敬語 (sonkeigo), this is honorific polite speech. This is the keigo you use when speaking about someone who is in a position of power over you. In this case, the sonkeigo being used is a form of address, but while in English there is no real hierarchy to the term “Older Brother,” here in the Japanese they are making it specifically clear that Hordak is lowering himself and placing himself in a lower position to Horde Prime, who he views as his respected Older Brother.

Now, in the scene above in Season 5, we not only have Hordak straight up proclaim that Horde Prime is not his older brother (not his sibling), but then he purposefully never calls him by aniue like he did in Season 4 nor does he refer to him as Prime-sama like the other clones do (with -sama being the sonkeigo form of -san, essentially, with meaning from “Mr.” to “Master” depending on the situation). 

Instead, Hordak refers to Prime Horde here simply as お前 (omae) and あなた (anata), these both translate to “you.” In Japanese, referring to a person as “you” is often viewed as being very rude and/or can imply extreme closeness between two people. Since She-ra is a non-Japanese show and takes place in a made up setting, these rules don’t apply as much, but I have no doubt that was the intention here. Especially because Hordak uses omae, which is often used by men when referring to others they view as equals or below them. So Hordak specifically using omae was like a slap in Horde Prime’s face, because he is, essentially, saying “I see myself as being equal or even above you.”

Lastly, when Hordak tells Horde Prime that he won’t obey him anymore, in the sub he uses the word 従わない (shitagawanai), which can also mean “to follow (a person)” and “to serve (as), to engage in (work).” So there is the added meaning of, “I won’t follow you anymore” to this bit too. In the dub, he states 聞くものか (kiku mono ka), “There’s no way I’ll listen... / As if I’ll listen...etc.”

And when he talks about Entrapta being his friend (his nakama, which I talked about in the general confessions post I made, which you can also find in the She-ra in Japanese Masterpost), he states it in the present tense. 仲間がいる (nakama ga iru), but I think you can translate it into either the present or the “past” tense like how it was presented in the English (I made a friend), to keep that consistency with the original English. So that sentence can read either as “I had a partner.” / “I have a partner.”
