this has gotta be the last one right??
with 4:22 to go???
EDIT, THIS WAS THE LAST POST I'M FINALLY DONE
"It's time for you to go."
(I feel it! I feel the cosmos! dot gif)
He screams!
And a black-and-green thing sort of erupts from his body and explodes
isn't that where they had the portal Adora was taken from as a baby
OH. IT WAS. this is a flashback I think
good lord they made her eyes HUGE
he's so quiet when he says this
ngl this is kind of sweet???
Entrapta throws herself at him :D
yeah!!!
GAYYYYY
Catra walks up. "Hey...Scorpia."
Scorpia just lifts her up. "You know I'm a hugger."
Don't get me wrong I think Catra should take the time to actually apologize, and I assume she does, but also Scorpia's already forgiven her.
Mermista says what we're all thinking lol
GIRL YOU DID IT. YOU SAVED THE UNIVERSE.
They show cool birds and dinosaur-looking things in the woods
Catra's little "Adora?" is so soft ;_;
Catra's purring omg
Adora: "he's gone."
Catra: "good riddance"
I'm emotional
dorks
Catra's ears being just barely visible omggg
Bow: "So....what're we going to do now?"
(I MEAN, my answer is "get a ton of rest and also a great deal of therapy" but)
Adora: "we can bring magic back to the universe!"
I wonder if Nate et al are frustrated that like, very few people wrote fics about that lolol
AND THAT'S IT. Show's over!!!
(and I have three hours before Easter Vigil starts, fucking SUCCESS)
TWO MONTHS OF DOING THIS LOLOL
and now I have no excuse not to work on my fic aaahahaha oh god
the tag for my writing, if you've missed it, is here
and my ao3 account is here
and you can read all these rewatch posts starting with the first episode here
and you can see progress on my Catra cosplay (and photos of the whole thing once it's done) here
If you've read any portion of these I appreciate you, thank you for your time and patience, I love you, be gay do crimes
LAST EPISODE
s5 ep13 heart pt 2
LET'S GOOOOOOO
it's 1:21pm and I have laundry to do AND Easter Vigil service starts at 8pm, can I get this all watched before 7pm?
Or am I gonna sit there in church vibrating in place for two hours knowing I have three minutes left on the episode or some bullshit lol
(That's longer than usual, yes. Easter Vigil is actually one of my fave services of the year--we start outside lighting candles (the ones inside have been out since Thursday night, even the one we otherwise never put out), then walk into the dark church, then sorta speedrun bits of the old testament (with a hymn after every reading) and then we decide OKAY IT'S EASTER NOW :D and turn on the lights and make a lot of noise and sing a few more hymns--we don't sing or say alleluia during Lent so all the hymns have that in it. There's often MASSIVE amounts of church incense, too. Anyway by the end it's a bit of a party. Apparently some churches have an actual party after the service.)(side note if you're new-ish to these posts that I'm Episcopalian, like, the priests at my church are a gay man and a woman, we're cool people mostly I promise)
See this is why these posts take forever. Why do I keep infodumping shit. This is what it's like to watch things with me in person, though.
If I get through this episode before Easter Vigil my reward is gonna be coming home and taking an edible and rewatching the last two episodes without screenshots so I can just cry over them.
oKAY
eh? that's new. like putting that on screen like that in dead silence. No intro sequence.
oh right Adora is injured. :( And it's some kind of magical monster thing that did it--a security thing put into the Crystal Castle by the First Ones
when she touches her wound the Failsafe glows, and it's making static-y noises and looking glitchy, that can't be good
the nasty tentacle monster thing is still there buT SO IS CATRA YAYYYY she shatters at least one of its eyeballs? I think?
my brain: this is like Caitlyn helping Vi after she got stabbed by Sevika, the wound is even in the same place :D me: wrong person has the red jacket on also Catra isn't going to buy some illegal potion thing to dose Adora with
(you should watch Arcane)
DOES SHE EVER SAY IT LIKE THAT BEFORE THIS?? oh god she sounds so breathless and relieved
Adora: "You can't be here! It's too dangerous"
And she stands up and starts to fall over and fucking Shadow Weaver helps her stand up, uGH
LOOK AT MY BB KICKING ASS
oh god so Shadow Weaver basically drags off Adora, Catra's like "I'll catch up, okay?" and Adora's like "no no Catraaaaa" her voice is cracking and everything, she doesn't want to do this without her and also worries about Catra and that tentacle monster thing
I'm not gonna screenshot it but poor Glimmer is fighting her dad, who is still chipped and Evil.
Bow is fighting Scorpia, also chipped and Evil. Oh hey Melog shows up and makes Bow invisible.
Micah is MEAN when chipped. He calls Glimmer a failure.
Glimmer: "My mother raised me to be brave. My friends taught me to be kind. And I'm stubborn. I get that from you. I will never stop fighting! And I won't lose another parent! I love you, dad."
She blasts him with enough magic that he collapses.
Bow, invisible, types away on Entrapta's computer she set up in the Horde thing, but when he gets it to start to do its thing he gets excited and says "I've got it!!" and Scorpia hears it and blasts him and is standing over him about to get him.
Bow: "Prime may have made you do a lot of things, but he can't turn you into something you're not. So, right now, all I need you to do is trust me."
Her eyes get normal for a second and she yells, and Bow slams a button on Entrapta's computer. There's a bright light.
Where Sea Hawk is holding Mermista, her chip goes dead and falls off. We get a lovely montage of other characters from all over Etheria, like Huntara and the folks at Elberon, who'd been chipped having their eyes go back to normal!
Scorpia: "oh my gosh I am so sorry!!"
yeah she's definitely back to normal lol
up on Horde Prime's ship:
lol
"My device worked! I knew it would!"
Bow: "Hey, everyone. I'm Bow."
(lol there's so much story in just this frame alone)
But yeah they show people from all over Etheria stopping to watch him speak, including his dads.
"Right now, we're the only thing standing in the way of him controlling it forever. You might be feeling hopeless. You might be thinking "We don't stand a chance." And maybe we don't. Prime's too strong. His army is too powerful. But that's not gonna stop us. We need to show Prime we're not afraid of him, because we have each other. And we have love. We can't give up. And if we go down, we go down together. We need you. All of you."
"It's time to fight. For She-Ra, for our homes, for each other!"
Broadcast over, back to Horde Prime. "Put an end to this mockery."
Catra injures the tentacle monster thing, but now that green is spreading into the room, and as Catra runs down the hall towards the Heart, she stops as Horde Prime shows up in hologram form
"I had such high hopes for you." like what, dude. keeping her around and chipped like a fucking puppet as an example? eugh. (something something about how her speeches to Adora while chipped were an obvious reference to people proselytizing high-control faiths)
the moment of distraction is enough for the tentacle monster to grab one of Catra's legs and she screams in pain D:
also there's still a bunch of earthquakes happening as these two limp towards the Heart
Poor Adora is just weakly going "No...no...wait" Shadow Weaver: "Don't lose your focus. We're so close."
What's this WE shit.
But also damn one thing Shadow Weaver and Horde Prime (and Light Hope!) have in common is they both believe love and affection and "attachments" are weaknesses. Shadow Weaver just cannot seem to get it through her head that Adora's love for Catra (and vice versa) is helpful here. Not a detriment. Love isn't a distraction!!! It gives us a stable ground of security and safety from which to do hard things!!
Meanwhile poor Angella told Adora "take care of each other."
This is pulsating, and so is the Failsafe on Adora's chest
OH NO oh god Okay being near that much hardcore magic is making Shadow Weaver powerful--her hair does the floaty thing for the first time since, what, s2? And she starts reaching for it, but THEN--
Adora yells Catra's name and starts walking back towards her, and Shadow Weaver's hair falls down again and she says the most weirdly desperate-sounding "Adora, wait!"
Prime's hologram is still torturing Catra along with the actual tentacle monster
(someone has drawn rule 34 of that thing but I'm not looking for it. I am content to know it exists.)
AND THEN THE MONSTER GETS BLASTED BY SHADOW WEAVER AHAHA NICE
about time she was useful amiright
okay so is this Shadow Weaver actually realizing she's been wrong about The Power of Love, or is this just her begrudgingly accepting that these two are Sold as A Set, Do Not Separate, and unless Catra's there Adora won't be able to use the Failsafe because she'll be looking for Catra the whole time???
Like is this an emotional epiphany or just pragmatism?
oh god so she magically shoves Catra away (towards Adora), but Catra runs back to Shadow Weaver
And y'all I know I talked about this a LOT way back in earlier seasons but I cannot tell you how accurate this keeps being in regards to dealing with an abusive parent. Like if you'd asked me, even after I cut off contact, if I wanted my dad to die, I would've said No! Of course not! At that point I didn't know whether the no-contact thing was temporary or not. I just knew I needed time and space to not be constantly stressed and anxious, for a notification on my phone to not immediately fill me with so much adrenaline my hands shook.
Anyway Shadow Weaver puts up a magical shield to keep Catra back
Shadow Weaver's response is amazingly calm and quiet. "Please, Catra. You need to make sure Adora reaches the Heart. The magic must be set free."
Her fight with Tentacle Monster isn't going well.
Catra's voice is heartbreaking here. "Stop it! It's going to kill you!"
"But you, this is only the beginning for you."
;_;
STICK THAT KNIFE IN AND TWIST IT! YEAH!
Catra's crying "no...no..." and a hand reaches out and grabs hers
LOL FINALLY HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT okay going to reblog
what a moment for it pfft

A Good Friend (Platonic friendship! Scorpia x reader)
Description: Etheria was finally free after years and years of being at war with itself. Peace was brought back, and everyone was celebrating. Only... you had a lingering feeling of sadness and guilt inside you, and the magic that would heal your heart was a hug from your friend Scorpia. But a strange sense of shyness seemed to hold you back.
Fanfic type: Hurt/comfort
(Here you go, more hurt/comfort for one of my fave characters cause I’m a slut for that kind of fanfiction. This isn’t a romantic ship fic, more like a friendship between the reader and Scorpia, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it nonetheless. This might just be really bad but I enjoyed making it, gotta have the fluff. Anyways hope you enjoy!)
Everything just seemed... grey for the past week just gone by.
Etheria was thriving once again, glowing with contentment and basking in its bright, beautiful magic having defeated Horde Prime once and for all only a couple of months ago. It seemed like the murky grey cloud fog had lifted, letting in sunshine and cerulean skies that had been shying away for such a long time. A celebration was ongoing, it called for it. Multiple victory parties, love, peace, reunion, recovery, redemption, unbreakable friendships. It were all cherished like never before. Life was just right.
Only, for a while now, you felt a surreal sort of emptiness. Almost a sense of insincerity. Up until now you had been celebrating the liberation of Etheria, but recently, something inside you sort of changed. You took a look around you, seeing Adora and Catra so complete together. The same went for Bow and Glimmer. Scorpia and Perfuma. Mermista and Sea Hawk. Entrapta and Hordak. Even Spinnerella and Netossa. All of these happy couples had such a solidarity to the point where you felt... left out. Forgotten. Yes, Frosta may not be in a relationship either, but for someone as young as herself, it was understandable why she wasn’t. Regardless, you felt as though you weren’t as welcome in the squad anymore, even though in reality that wasn’t the case in the slightest, you were always welcome in the squad.
Not only this, but you had also been haunted by insecurity, doubt, and even a strong sense of guilt that ate away at you. Looking around, seeing everyone’s amazing abilities and contributions to the rebellion. You felt as though you were nothing of value, even though that wasn’t the case either. Everyone in the rebellion appreciates your abilities.
And to top it all off, you had been slightly sick for the past week. This hadn’t affected you as much as your overwhelmingly negative thoughts had, but a lingering headache, stomach cramps, mild dehydration and lethargy was definitely bearing a burden on you. Thankfully whatever you had wasn’t too contagious.
All of these problems combined into one big, ugly internal demon caused you to go very quiet. Even when the rebellion would have post-war reunions where everyone would visit Bright Moon for a couple of days. Lately you had been spacing out a lot more, not really talking to anyone and sitting alone, for you felt silenced by your feelings of loneliness. It seemed like this ugly internal demon could be chased away with only one thing. A hug.
Scorpia. Whenever even thinking of the word hug, you instantly thought of your friend Scorpia. Despite being from such an uncaring place such as the Horde, she was notorious for being a hugger, and a great one at that. Not only did her kind, sunny personality always made you smile, but it also seemed her arms were made of magic. Not just physically with such strong lightning powers, but emotionally, for being cuddled in between her big, muscular arms was enough to soften any heart and heal any and all feelings of sorrow. One of Scorpia’s hugs was just what you needed.
However, you didn’t speak a word about this, you were too shy to ask. You and everyone else knew that she was in a relationship with Perfuma, and your feelings of isolation mingled with this known fact, forming an obsessive, discouraging worry. Observing Scorpia and how happy she was with Perfuma and how she spent a lot of her time with her, seeing them hug and kiss each other, seeing them talk to each other and garden together, it made you feel happy for them. Although this caused you to develop an irrational fear of somehow ruining this beautiful bond between them.
This created a horrible scenario in your head that you’d ask Scorpia for a hug and she’d coldly decline, glaring at you and trying to shoo you away with her big scarlet claws, even though you knew this was completely out of her character and these thoughts were illogical, but they still played on your mind. This thought was followed by another equally as desolate thought that you asking for a hug would wreck hers and Perfuma’s relationship somehow, as though that simple little request was now a bomb ready to explode and destroy all your friendships. The mere thought of this broke your heart and caused you to grip tighter to the cushion you were hugging as a makeshift Scorpia while you were heavily spaced out.
All of a sudden, a large, muscular pair of arms wrapped around you, snapping you out of your disorientation. It took you a few seconds to realise who it was. It was Scorpia, giving you a hug. The much-needed hug you've been wanting to ask for for so long. You looked at her in mild astonishment, it was as though she read your mind.
"(Y/n), are you alright? I noticed that you haven’t been acting like yourself lately, you seem upset, and I just wanted to check in with you, is everything okay?" As she spoke, it felt as though all the things you were going through were finally being acknowledged. Your throat tightened and hot tears began to blur your vision, slipping down your cheeks. The scorpion woman's brow furrowed with concern once she saw how upset you were, it saddened her.
"Oh no, you're crying... Come here-" she lifted you up and embraced you in her clawed arms, bringing you into another hug as you broke down into sobs. "It's gonna be okay..." she spoke softly, trying to reassure you.
You wept into her shoulder for a good while, letting out all the tears you had been holding back, as though you were releasing all the pain that sweltered inside you. Scorpia hugged you very carefully yet closely, caressing your back slowly and soothingly, hoping that you'd feel better. She cared about you, so seeing you cry made her want to cry too.
After a while of weeping in comfortable silence, you dried your teary eyes and asked her shyly "Can I... can I talk to you?" to which Scorpia placed you back down to where you were seated, put her arm around you and replied "Of course you can, you can talk to me about anything!"
"I've been going through a tough time recently, and I wanted to ask you for a hug as your hugs make me feel better but I felt too shy to do so because I know you're in a relationship with Perfuma so I was worried that I'd make you feel awkward and ruin yours and Perfuma's relationship, and I was worried that you didn't want to be friends with me anymore-"
Scorpia was very perplexed by what you were telling her. To think that her, the certified best hugger around, the CEO and queen of good cosy cuddles, would retire from her hugging expertise and reserve it for just her partner?
"(Y/n)... of COURSE you can have a hug. Just because I'm in a relationship, that doesn't make me any less of a hugger! You shoulda seen me at one of the victory parties, I was just hugging everyone out- maybe I was a bit tipsy, I dunno, but the point is, I'll always be there to give you a hug or keep you company when you need it, you don't need to feel shy to ask, you're my friend, and I wanna help you. You won't make things awkward at all, I promise!”
A playful gleam in her sepia-brown eyes, Scorpia extended her arms towards you. "Now come here, I'm gonna give you such a good hug that all your sadness will disappear!" At her relieving words, you felt as though the worry that had been bottled up inside you had all been drained out, and you wrapped your arms around her and she wrapped her arms around you, lifting you up in one of her signature hugs. Her arms truly were made of magic, you felt a lot better already.
"You have no idea how much I needed to hear that..." you mumbled appreciatively, with tears spilling down your cheeks once again. But these tears were filled with relief and happiness and freedom from the thoughts that had trapped you for so long.
After a few seconds, Scorpia piped up once again. “Also you mentioned you’ve been going through a tough time, do you wanna come hang out with me and Perfuma? In that way you can maybe talk to us about what’s been upsetting you, we’ll be able to help for sure! And plus, Perfuma’s real good at giving advice-”
This request for you to join them delighted you, and you nodded in reciprocation.
It felt as though the big, ugly internal demon of negative thoughts had shrunk into a little speck of dust. The senses of insecurities and problems still lingered, but now you had both Scorpia AND Perfuma to talk to about them. They’re sure to chase those insecurities away. Life seemed to be getting brighter, at last.

Which SPOP characters do you think would thrive in other cartoon worlds, and why?
AMAZING QUESTION!!
Okay so I’m just gonna go through the characters and say where I think they would fit best.
Adora: ATLA-verse. She would fit right in with all the other super powered children with magical destinies. They’d really understand her in a way that not a lot of people can.
Catra: Also the ATLA-verse, mostly because they’re fighting a war there, and Catra is REALLY GOOD at fighting wars. When she was evil, she was SO good at her job. She’d be such a good strategist, maybe she could even go toe to toe with Azula (maybe.) Plus Adora’s there, so that’s where she’d go.
Glimmer: This is a really tricky one. I’m gonna say ATLA-verse for her too, because of her ginormous power and her bravery. She’d definitely be a great asset to the group. Steven Universe-verse is another option, but friends are really important to Glimmer, and I feel like she’d have a better time connecting with the ATLA crew.
Bow: The Boiling Isles! He’d just really like the friendly vibes from Luz and her friends, and also he’d stare at everything and be the giant eyes emoji the whole time he was there and he’d love it.
Angella: Steven Universe universe! This is where all the supportive mother figures live, so it’s got to be there. Also any other cartoon universe would be incredibly chaotic and that’s just not her thing.
Perfuma: DEFINITELY the Steven Universe verse. She and Pearl would get along really well, I can just see it. She’d love Steven too. They literally sang a song called « Peace and Love on the Planet Earth » she belongs there.
Mermista: Definitely Gravity Falls. She’s the only person who could look all the terrifying weirdness in the eye and then just kick everyone’s ass without even blinking.
Sea Hawk: Gravity Falls! There’s lots of craziness and adventure over there.
Scorpia: She’d love it anywhere, but the Steven Universe crew are huggers, so she’d probably end up there. They would totally appreciate her and give her the love she deserves. Also Perfuma and Entrapta would be with her.
Entrapta: DEFINITELY the Steven Universe universe. Have you SEEN all of the tech there? She would be in absolute heaven.
Frosta: Gravity Falls, for sure. She would just throw herself at every weird monster that came her way, and she would love it.
Spinnerella: She’d probably love the Boiling Isles because she’s so powerful and loves children, but she also might pick the Steven Universe world, because she’s a Hufflepuff and her wife is there.
Netossa: She’s a fighter and a strategist, but also wholesome and a mom figure, so I guess Steven Universe for her. Best of both worlds.
Double Trouble: The Boiling Isles! Seriously, can anyone else picture them guest starring in a TOH episode? Because I totally can.

Top 5 Comfort Characters
I was tagged by @darkshrimpemotions (danke!) and this was... kind of interesting to think about because I have comfort shows/movies more than actual characters. So! I have made an attempt and tried not to overthink!
(In no particular order)
Garnet, Steven Universe
I have not watched past s3 except for a couple episodes but. Fusion gem. Ruby and Sapphire... Stronger Than You... the wedding... she's made of love... she really got me through some shit in 2015/2016.
Scorpia, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
She's a great hugger and an amazing friend. She is just the embodiment of friendship; literally friend-shaped. Watching her interact with other characters makes me feel like I'm being enveloped in one of her hugs. Just... pure unconditional love. I want her to be my friend and aspire to be a friend like her.
Catra, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
She's awful and toxic and does terrible things and is still loved and redeemed in the end. The catharsis of her redemption and the fact that her and Adora's gay love for each other saved the universe made me ugly cry on and off for two days. I still get choked up when I think about the finale. I love my problematic lesbian.
Dean Winchester, Supernatural
(Shocker, I know) Middle-aged toxic and closeted gays with all of your vices and psychological bullshit dialed up to 11 is something that is just so personal. I am destroyed by destiel and the idea that good things do happen to people who have a lot of baggage and have done some awful shit. I reject the finale and accept sinnabonka's fic Hope as the canon ending. Also, watching s1e3 made me realize I need to get back into therapy and that I want to transition. Have I made any attempt to do either of those and not just try to work out my shit by watching an awful tv show? Absolutely not. Have I mentioned that I'm terminally deancoded?
Y Tu Mamá También
Yes yes I know I'm cheating and this is a movie and not a single character but the relationship between Tenoch and Julio and the whole coming of age ~vibe~ of the film is so comforting to me. It's my go-to when I'm in a funk. Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal knocked it out of the park and Maribel Verdú is amazing as an outsider pulled into their friendship. I HIGHLY recommend watching but you need to make sure you get the unrated/uncut version. To me, this is the perfect film.
[film ending spoilers below]
What isn't comforting about boy best friends roadtripping through Mexico with an older woman who they both want to (and do) have sex with? You might ask if there's a common denominator with the above characters. Well, one of the last scenes is Tenoch and Julio making out and strongly implying they have sex. Which yes, it destroys their friendship but it's a truly phenomenal film where the ending makes NO SENSE in the R-rated US release because they cut the scene of them kissing and just skip to the next morning.

Scorpia~~
Why I like them: she is just... the sweetest girl i love her
Why I don’t: uhhh i don’t don’t like her??
Favorite episode (scene if movie): i really like her one-off episode where she told catra to fuck off as kindly as she would (: loved it, loved her leaving catra who didn’t deserve her kindness.
Favorite season/movie: S4, so happy that she got her redemption arc
Favorite line: “you’re a bad friend”
Favorite outfit: her formal outfit is so pretty!!
OTP: adora and scorpia
Brotp: entrapta and scorpia, also hordak and scorpia
Head Canon: i think she might have wanted siblings?
Unpopular opinion: i hate perfuma and scorpia as a romantic ship. it’s a very pair the spares ship, and i can’t help but feel like they did that because it got scorpia out of the way for catradora to become canon cause scorpia was one of the two other characters who had actual chemistry with catra (the other was DT)
A wish: that she hadn’t been shafted so bad in S5... like she just forgives catra even though catra was so horrible to her.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: what happened in S5 with regards to catra hahahaha thanks i hate it
5 words to best describe them: friendly, great hugger, sweetheart, uhhh... idk what else
My nickname for them: i don’t think i really have one??

I'm gonna try to calm down with the SPOP posting but DAMN what a great show. 😭❤ I really, truly recommend it as I think it's absolutely beautiful, in depth and has earned its place as one of my favorite pieces of media ever. Just...DAMN. I'm so sad that it's over, but it ended so beautifully. 💕
Buuuuut, in relation to the primary function of this blog tho, I got a few vorey things to say lmao:
I love the idea of Adora eating Catra to comfort her, especially in her She-Ra form. They both struggle with ptsd, and I think Catra would gain a lot of comfort from being surrounded in a full body hug from her gf, just totally encompassed by the woman she loves. Adora would feel comfort from her dearest being as close as possible to her and using her body to protect Catra in the most literal sense. I like to think it would really relax and reassure both of them, both sensory wise and just...the super heightened intimacy and closeness to someone you love, in protecting and being protected. Especially after all they've been through.
Scorpia is also a super protective pred and as a known hugger, likes to eat those she loves (with their permission ofc). She gets really zealous and excitable over it and is big on the idea of comfort food... Rather, the idea of comforting the food. 10/10 pred.
Entrapta really likes vore for the science of it, specifically being intrigued by mechanical-y insides. She wants to know how things work, and is super in love with Hordak's inner workings--at first it's for science, but then she likes the feeling of trust and closeness that comes with being that close to Hordak. It's also sensory and special interest bliss, lol. He is hard pressed to admit how much he enjoys his little gf being in his tummy and complimenting/gushing/nerding over his freaky innards, but it makes him really happy.
Digestion/Fatal Warning - Horde Prime...I hate the motherfucker, but he'd be so good for fatal and fearplay vore. He's an absolutely horrible pred who loves mind games and uses vore as punishment, torture, and fearmongering. He's cruel and terrifying, and will strip every bit of your will away before digesting you, laughing about it, and then forgetting the whole ordeal five minutes later.
AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN COUNT THE WACKY G/T HIJINKS THE CAST COULD GET INTO

She Ra:Princess of Power, Season 1, Episode 5, First Impressions!
Okay, so I have a ton to gush about in this episode, but before I do that, I do have one criticism to get off my chest. It’s far from any kind of deal breaker, and it’s really not that big of a problem, but it is something that I hope improves as the series goes on.
And it’s that the plots are pretty basic.
I don’t just mean the premise or the set-up, I mean the episode-by-episode plots and how they play out. They’re not all that removed from the cheesy, merchandise-oriented plots from the source material. And that’s fine, it gets the job done, and the plot isn’t remotely the main draw of the show. But it still feels like kind of a missed opportunity, at least so far.
Look, there’s been a lot of comparisons between SPOP and the new Ducktales, mainly due to them sharing a lot of the same creative minds and an overall “voice” when it comes to their characters and humor. And one of the things that makes the new Ducktales special is that it is clearly well aware of the story conventions and even cliches established by the original and everything the original inspired. So the show will often play homage to those conventions, seem to set them up, only to subvert them in increasingly clever ways that come off as affectionate, but sometimes also gets played for great drama. It’s a bit of cheeky self-aware meta writing that plays tribute to the source material and the fandom around it while also poking fun at it.
And it shows that you can have a meta-narrative that puts the original on a pedestal without degrading your own product, Colin Trevorrrow!
So what I’m saying is that I hope to see that same subversive touch come to play in this show, because there is a ton of material for them to play around with in regards to their plots, much as they’ve already done with their characters.
Okay, now that I got that out of the way, let’s get with the gushing!
First of all, Mermista! Okay, I was looking forward to meeting this character, and I know some of you were probably waiting for my reaction to her, and I love her! I mean, I’m preprogrammed to be biased toward sassy, blue-haired mermaids (I wonder why), but the fact that she pretty much is an aquatic version of Raven from Teen Titans is perfect.
And don’t think I didn’t notice that blush when you were paling around with Bow! I mean, I can’t say I blame you, but I still noticed!
Also, Glimmer was kind of my spirit animal here. “Look, we got a very important job to do and I’m the only one actually trying to do it, so stop goofing off and help me!” Ugh, basically me at work all the damn time.
Sea Hawk was a ton of fun. A little more light-hearted take on the whole braggart that needs to be taken down a few pegs, and I feel we got to that part a little quickly, but he was still a joy to watch. More shanties please!
Here we meet Force Captain Scorpia. She is big, she is intimidating, she’s half freaking scorpion, and...she’s a hugger! See what I said about every character essentially being a wacky goofball no matter what side they’re on? Why yes, I want more scenes with her annoying Catra, thank you very much.
Speaking of which, we finally got Catra confronting Adora, and it was packed with emotion. I knew Catra was going to be pissed, but I didn’t expect her to go HAM on Adora like that, what with all the slashing and everything. I once heard her whole thing is that she mainly shows up and flirts violently with Adora, but I didn’t think that the violent part would be so literal.
Unfortunately for now it seems a bit one-sided. I know that Adora has a lot on her plate right now, but I would like to see them explore her feelings toward her ex-bestie and current rival.
On a side-note, I wish these episodic shows would just do a two-part episode every now and then. I know that the Mermista part was what was important, but after that sea monster bit, I totally would have been down for the trio just boating around for a full episode while Sea Hawk tries to show off, Bow fanboys over him, Adora keeps clumsily saving everyone’s asses, and Glimmer rages about all the time being wasted.

I thought we were best friends (Part 5)
She-ra Masterlist
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4,
Ao3
***************
It had been three months.
Three months since Catra had broken up with Adora. And she was still not over the blonde who had her heart. Catra had tried coming up with an apology for weeks but how was she supposed to apologize for the traumatic events she faced when Adora had gotten adopted?
Adora had left her.
If anything...Adora was the one who had to apologise, right? She wasn’t sorry for her emotions because they were valid.
Adora had made no contact with her whatsoever when she left the orphanage and it hurt her every single day but...saying that all she had felt was lust for Adora at Mystacor...that was incredibly harsh. It might’ve a little bit but she wasn’t lying about wanting to be with her.
Catra stared at the tv in the apartment, trying to focus on the movie she was watching but she never could.
All she could think about was Adora.
She was grateful for once that they did different majors. Adora majored in Sports Science whereas Catra majored in Politics. Catra eventually switched the tv off and decided to get a coffee from her favorite coffee shop. Maybe it would help her feel better.
“Scorpia, I’m going to the coffee shop! You want anything?” she yelled as she got her bag, wallet and keys.
“Yeah! A matcha latte would be great! I’ll meet you there!” Scorpia yelled back from the bathroom.
As she walked out the door she remembered the day that they had reconnected. When they had seen each other on the volleyball court that day of their match...it had been quite a moment for the two of them.
*******************
“Yo! Captain Catra, we are going to kill this season with you on our team!” one of Catra’s teammates said as they stretched their muscles in the changing room.
“We are going to beat those princesses today. They’ve had the trophy for too long!” Catra grinned and they huddled.
“Let’s go Horde!” they all shouted before walking to the sports hall.
The screams were loud as they stepped onto the court but they were deafening when the Princesses came on. Catra wasn’t surprised, it was the Princesses home game so naturally they had more supporters. Catra turned to face her opponents when she felt her breathing stop. The blonde hair, clear, determined blue eyes and the smile that could make flowers grow.
“Adora?” she asked and it felt like everything happened in slow motion.
Adora turned away from her teammate and her jaw dropped, “Catra?”
They seemed to stare at each other for hours but a sharp whistle broke through the air.
“Okay ladies! Let’s get this game going!” yelled one of the coaches and before either of them could say another word, the ball was in the air.
After an hour, the ball slammed down on the Princesses court and the Horde shrieked as they won their final point.
“Catra! Catra! Catra!” her team chanted as they picked her up and carried her back to the changing rooms.
Catra tried to get a good look of Adora but she was hugging her teammates and saying encouraging words to them. After a warm, refreshing shower, Catra walked out of Brightmoon High School and to the gravel parking lot with her team.
“We should totally get celebratory milkshakes guys!” said Kyle, their water boy, as they trekked across the car park.
“That sounds good-” Catra started but heard quick footsteps behind her and her reflexes kicked in, causing her to face her attacker but instead she saw the bluest eyes.
“Catra!”
She was hit with a heavy weight on her body and she stumbled before opening her eyes.
“Adora? It’s really you?” she whispered and Adora laughed.
Catra felt the overwhelming urge to push Adora off of her and scream.
Why are you so happy to see me when you never visited? Why are you acting like we’re still friends?
“Oh Catra, I’ve missed you so much!” she exclaimed hugging her harder and Catra felt her anger disappear.
“I...I missed you too,” she said softly and hugged her friend back.
Her ears twitched as she picked up a gasp from her teammates as well as Adora’s. The Princesses and The Horde were strict rivals in volleyball and it had been going on for years. Catra also wasn’t a hugger at all. So she could only imagine what her teammates were thinking when she accepted a hug not from any old person but from a Princess.
“Congratulations on your win! I’m looking forward to our next one but don’t be too cocky. We’ll definitely bring our A game!” Catra rolled her eyes but grinned.
“Get used to losing, Adora. It’s not going to be easy with me as Captain.”
Adora smiled but the competitive streak was gleaming in her eyes.
“Oh really? Well then, why don’t we meet up after school sometime? Maybe you can have some extra practice with me and get used to losing again,” she said with a wink.
Catra could feel the blush rising to her cheeks and she knew that she had to respond. Adora was teasing her and she damn well knew that she was doing it just to get a reaction out of Catra. She couldn’t look like a complete dork in front of her team, The Princesses and Adora.
So she did the next ballsy thing she could think of.
She took a step forward and kissed Adora lightly on the cheek. It was soft, lingering but Catra knew what she was doing. Adora smelt like her fresh pine scent, something that never changed. She could feel Adora freeze up and she was sure Kyle had fainted. She heard Adora gasp softly and she smirked as she leaned close to the shell of Adora's ear.
“Heh, nice try Adora but you’re going to have to try a lot harder to let my guard down. Anyway, I have some celebratory milkshakes to get with my team. Till next time,” she said smoothly.
Before she walked away, she felt Adora’s arm on her shoulder.
“Fine, if you want to play it like that,” Adora scoffed and turned Catra’s arm around so that her wrist was exposed.
Adora wrote her number down in a marker and she smiled as she finished. “When you’re done reaping your win, message me,” with that she winked and walked back to her teammates who began assaulting her with questions.
Catra knew she was going to get the same treatment so she mentally prepared herself as she turned around to face her team.
“Catra…? Are you going to explain-?” Lonnie asked as they turned away from the scene and began walking.
“She’s an old friend. Not a big deal but this will definitely make the matches a lot more interesting,” she smirked as the left the parking lot.
“But you- you kissed-?”
“Kyle, it was just a bit of friendly rivalry teasing.”
“That sounds ridiculous,” Lonnie annoyingly.
“Do you have a problem with how I run this team Lonnie? Or do you have something you want to say to all of us?” Catra glowered and that seemed to shut her up.
Afterwards the tension eventually lifted and they collapsed into friendly conversation and talking about the highlights of the game. Catra on the other hand, kept glancing at her arm to make sure Adora’s number was still there and not fading away.
She never wanted Adora to fade away from her life ever again.
****************************
Adora sat in her apartment drinking tea. It was a lot colder now and she made sure she bundled up. She looked out the window, the clouds grey but held no promise of rain.
Don’t worry Adora! You’ll get over Catra in no time!
Glimmer had said that exactly three months ago and she wished she could but nothing worked. She had tried clubbing, meeting new people, drinking so much that couldn’t remember what had happened the night before (Bow and Glimmer were there for her when she woke up and kept her from doing anything stupid at the club) as well as throwing herself into her studies. There was one thing she hadn’t tried but she knew it would end in disaster.
Dating.
Technically, Adora could date someone but she knew she wasn’t ready. She still cared deeply about Catra and she kept wondering back to the day that Catra had broken up with her.
“You left me, Adora. How was I supposed to ever believe you were going to be there for me, when you left when I needed you the most? I sent you letters! I snuck out and tried phoning you and you never visited. And you promised you would.”
Adora had tried to come up with ways to apologize but it all seemed futile.
How do you apologize for never contacting someone after four years?
She had faced her own set of problems when she had been adopted like getting used to her new family, going to Brightmoon High School and trying to fit in. Being an orphan all your life meant not really keeping up with the latest fashion and pop culture and Adora had made Adora an outcast for the first few days at school.
Eventually Perfuma came into her life and after helping Perfuma with saving her gardening club, they had become good friends. She then met Frosta and Mermista at the volleyball team tryouts and was ecstatic when they all made the team. Perfuma attended every volleyball game to support Adora. Adora then met Bow through archery club and they became friends quicky with Bow’s patience to teach Adora how to hit a bullseye. Spinnerella and Netossa where the Captains of the volleyball team and were the oldest. Adora saw them as mentors and they always treated the team after winning a game. Entrapta and Adora had briefly met but she transferred schools soon after. She began throwing herself into school and her new friends but she never forgot Catra. She did get her letters and she read them all but she would get side tracked with homework and volleyball practice.
That still wasn't a good excuse for never visiting.
Adora sighed and put her tea down on the coffee table in front of her and she pulled her legs to her body, making herself as small as possible. She felt tears in her eyes but she didn’t try to stop them.
“If only I had been a better friend. Why did I just abandon her like that?” Adora sniffed and buried her face into her knees, crying quietly.
“Adora! We’re home! We bought your favourite cookies-” Bow exclaimed, with Glimmer behind him, but then he stopped, seeing the state of his friend.
“Oh Adora,” Glimmer whispered and she took a seat next to her and hugged her. Bow took out the cookies from the shopping bag and sat down as well, trying to calm the crying girl.
“I’m sorry guys. I know it’s been months since the break up but I can’t just forget about Catra or our history. I want to talk to her so badly but everything I think of sounds pathetic!”
Glimmer looked down guiltily and Adora squeezed her friends hand.
“Stop, you know it’s not your fault that we broke up, right? If anything...it revealed a whole lot about Catra I didn’t know about. I...I don’t know if I ever would’ve known if you hadn’t punched Scorpia in the face...even if it wasn’t the best thing to do.”
“I know- it’s just...I feel like I made things ten times more difficult for you. Scorpia is...actually super nice.”
Adora and Bow looked at her in confusion.
“You...you met up with Scorpia?”
“Yeah, a few days ago actually...I wanted to apologize for punching her in the face. She was a little surprised that I wanted to meet up but we sorted it out. She’s...she really cares about Catra a lot…” Glimmer trailed off. “Turns out that I have really low alcohol tolerance and drank too much. I think running out into the cold after being at a hot club was what made me really sick and the hangover did not help. I was insecure about making friends and you were the first person I met here. I wanted to be a good friend after hearing about your break up...I wanted to protect you from Catra. She caused you so much hurt and I was angry that she didn’t seem to see it.”
“Scorpia...she didn’t poison you?”
“Oh goodness no! Scorpia would never do that!” Adora nodded and put her head on the back of the couch. “But...did you really have a crush on me?” Adora asked and Glimmer blushed.
“Yes...I did. And I was jealous of Catra and how well you two just clicked. But Bow helped me sort through my feelings. I knew you and Catra were inseparable and I never should’ve stuck my nose into your business.”
Adora nodded and laid her head on Glimmer’s shoulder. “I just wish I knew what to do. Or just to forget about it for a little while. Everything I try just makes me think of Catra.” she murmured and closed her eyes.
Glimmer and Bow shared a smile.
“Which is why we downloaded this app on your phone!”
Adora’s eyes snapped open and she stared her phone that Bow was dangling in front of her.
“You did what?”
“Adora, it’s not a dating app, we know you aren’t looking for anyone right now. It’s more of a meet up and talk app. Look we know you miss Catra but when was the last time you talked with Mermista after high school?” Bow smiled.
“Mermista is on the app?”
“Yeah! She wants to meet up with you for lunch today It’s already been arranged.”
“Guys…I’m not sure...” Adora mumbled.
“Adora, we understand you don’t want to necessarily talk to anyone right now but you’re going to evolve into a hermit crab if you spend another day in this apartment.” Adora looked at the app and scrolled through the messages that Mermista and Bow had exchanged. If anything, it just looked like a normal meetup. Nothing weird or trying to set her up with someone new.
“Okay fine. I’ll go but you two owe me for making a profile of me without my permission!”
************************************************
Adora shifted nervously in the both were she was meeting up with Mermista. Her iced tea was too sweet and she felt sweaty all over. She had arrived a few minutes early just to mentally prepare herself.
“Adora, long time no see,” Mermista’s velvety voice said as she slid into the opposite side of the booth. Mermista was a Marine Biologist major and went to the same university as Adora, it’s just that their campuses were quite a distance from each other and it was difficult to meet.
Mermista hadn’t changed much since high school, same chic style and ‘I don’t care’ attitude but she had gotten a nose ring, which Adora thought suited her personality.
“Hey Mermista! It’s been ages!” Adora said a little too loudly and Mermista blinked slowly.
“Yeah it has...what are you having it looks good.”
“Oh, iced tea! It’s really...sweet! Yeah....sweet!” Adora said and realized how awkward she was being trying to advertise her drink.
“Adora...are you okay?” the girl asked as she ordered her ice tea. The blonde was silent and she sighed heavily.
“I...I’m not. I’m sorry that you dragged yourself here to catch up-”
“Adora. It’s fine,” Mermista said with a rare look of concern.
“It...it is?”
“I know that you and Catra broke up and I...understand that you’re still healing. I...I know what you’re going through,” she said softly and realization clicked.
“Did...did you and Sea Hawk...?”
A waitress placed Mermista’s iced tea down and she took a long sip.
“Yeah. What’s funny is that he broke up with me. He said we needed space which is freaking weird since he was the one who couldn’t stop spending time around me when we started dating! I guess...I guess I became too possessive of him when we got to university. I understand his reasons for ending our relationship but…” Mermista trailed off and Adora saw tears in the dark girls eyes.
Sea Hawk and Mermista had been the power couple in high school. Everyone thought it was hilarious how he would try to do these huge acts of romance and Mermista would constantly reject him. Eventually, he saw no point in trying to be with her and stopped, making Mermista realize that she liked him and how he treated her (even if it was a bit much at sometimes). Mermista had asked all her friends to help her pull off a grand romantic gesture (which ended in disaster) but Sea Hawk had been brought to tears. They went out on their first date and had been together since then.
Hearing that they broke up...it pained Adora to see Mermista so sad even though she wasn’t one to show usually her emotions.
“I miss him. I think of him all the time,” she choked out.
Adora gently put her hand on top of Mermista’s and she gave the girl a small smile.
“Looks like we're in similar situations. How about we ditch this place and go for a walk on the beach? I know the sea helps you think.”
“No...not the beach...Sea Hawk took me there all the time. How about the park?”
“Uh...let’s not go there...Catra and I had most of our dates there.”
“Well shit, we can’t go anywhere without remembering our exes, huh?” Mermista laughed.
Adora felt her heart squeeze a little at the mention of the word ‘exes’ and she tried to not think too deeply about it.
“How about....mini golf? It’s not too expensive and it opened a few months back. We can go check it out!” Adora suggested hopefully.
“Hmmm, sounds tedious but...that’s what I need right now,” Mermista nodded, a small smile on her face.
The two of them walked out reminiscing of their high school days and laughing.
***************************************************
Catra turned around from the cashier to watch Adora and Mermista leave, two coffee cups in her hand. She hadn’t heard any of their conversation but they had just left together, laughing.
No...it can’t be. Mermista...Mermista was dating Sea Hawk right? That goofy guy who sang sea shanties all the time. Wait, maybe they’re just friends? She seriously couldn’t be dating-?
She was trembling slightly and rushed to the bathrooms. She locked herself in a stall and tried to control her breathing.
“Has...has Adora...moved on?” she said whispered and felt her throat close.
She gasped and phoned Scorpia.
“Hey! I’m at the coffee shop! Where are you sitting?” Scorpia answered and Catra let out a strangled gasp, trying to get air into her lungs.
“Catra? Is everything okay?”
“No...no it’s not,” Catra managed to say before she cried. Her tears hitting the wooden bathroom floor and staining the floor, almost like how Adora had stained her heart.
