disclaimer: I’ve only seen every season of shera once whenever each one dropped, including for this latest season, so some of my recollections may be fuzzy or even incorrect. if that’s the case, feel free to correct me, or to disagree — but do so civilly. a lot of these are also just my opinion and interpretation! while overall i love shera as a show, but it is much more of a mixed bag to me, and my reviews of season five and the series reflects that. if you don’t want to see any critique of shera, this might not be the post for you.

shera s5 review, spoilers galore

PROS

hands down the best season of the show with s1 as a close second

overall liked catra’s redemption arc but still could’ve done with it Starting, more so, internally like. half a season ago. that being said, “i made a promise to look out for [adora] a long time ago. it’s time i made good on that” was magnificent in the volumes it had and i loved it.

wrong hordak. Best Boy!!

first five episodes were really strong and so was the 2-part finale

it was just fun to see catra interact with glimmer and bow as well, warming up to them over the course of the season, and of course with being on better terms with adora - but more on that later.

altho it was mostly a plot device for letting the characters sneak by things, i did really like the magic cat and its bond with catra. very sweet.

i loved having more of an emphasis on bow’s internal struggles and him having support (largely from glimmer) rather than him doing emotional labour for everyone else.

was also very nice seeing his dads again and, if irc, in a more plot relevant way.

all of catra’s lil blushes.

catra having been plugged into the hive mind and mind controlled was continually used not only to inform her own experiences but also the plot. it could’ve easily been an already satisfying “one and done” episode thing, but it wasn’t and i loved it all the more for it.

maybe i notice them every season but. adora’s she-ra muscles. we love to see it.

glim/bow was incredibly sweet and that confession scene with the emphasis of “i love you. i love you.” was soooo good. i’ve been casually shipping these two and seeing the signs since s1 and it was cute/nice to see it come to fruition

glad we got to finally have netossa and spinerella’s relationship being confirmed this season with two kisses and netossa calling her “wife.”

scorpia and perfuma were adorable and seeing someone whole heartedly, selflessly, believe in scorpia was amazing.

i was glad to see another one of shera’s more ‘filler eps’ that still contributed really to plot and character, like the DnD ep a couple seasons ago, without Breaking Tone or narrative momentum.

liked seeing entrapta/hordak too, very cute!

adora. i’ve always loved how shera questioned the ‘chosen one’ narrative and what it actually means. from her solidifying her own legacy, getting her happy ending, being selfless but learning that she didn’t have to be, and her re-design / new transformation sequence, it was sooo good.

horde prime’s culty vibes were creepy and consistently foreboding. great endgame villain.

i liked that since horde prime was hordak’s primary abuser, he got to get rid of him himself. it’s something we don’t see hardly enough and adora had her hands full

i actually loved the final scene between hordak and adora. just that flashback to her as a baby, being discovered, to where they were now, as poignant and powerful and just. what a good end

adora and catra’s individual endings, and together, were amazing. and then as its own section, lmao:

Catra and Adora. I’m gonna talk even more about this in the series review, but I loved how in s5 in particular it felt like they were developing a Romance, clearly, explicitly. Not just a platonic bond that turned romantic near the end (which is what Korrasami felt like, and is still a good dynamic! but something more obvious was very welcome). Blushes, handholding, working out the bumps, and proving once and for all just how much these characters flat out care about each other, and that Catra cares more about Adora than anyone even if she’s only letting it rise to the surface now. There were so many sweet smiles and moments between them this season and I loved it. And the angst. Can’t forget the angst.

As for their canonicity, I’m honestly not surprised? I know some people were doubtful or didn’t think there would be a kiss, but I wasn’t doubtful or surprised at all. I wasn’t sure if they’d get to do all the lead-up as explicitly as they did (which was partially out of thinking Catra and Adora might only reunite later on in the season than they did) but I watch a LOT of Netflix cartoons and Dreamworks shows in general. Neither are shy about explicit rep, with TDP having three same sex couples, an onscreen lesbian kiss two seasons in with more on the way, and Dreamworks always being a company that pushes boundaries (just look at the dual disabled protagonists of the httyd franchise, or trollhunters/3below with some political commentary particularly in the latter). I guess people were worried after Voltron, which I always saw without a doubt as the show-runners fault, not Dreamworks itself. Looks like I was right.

So yeah, I always thought Catradora would 1) get together, and 2) kiss to confirm it. The I love yous were a beautiful bonus and what we deserve. (Looks like jumping off cliffs and having season finale I love yous is going to be a trend for my otps, now; I have zero complaints.)

WE LOVE!! TO SEEE IT!! i knew s5 would be the tipping point of either the show doing some new things, but also re-treading ground, or whatever it would set a whole new standard for queer rep, and i’m so, so glad it did the latter.

CONS

micah saying “baby girl” all darkly? weird vibes, thanks i hate it

swift wind.

horde prime’s hair reminds me of dreads and i’m not saying he’s black coded, but it is a little. uncomfortable? mostly because he’s the only villain with absolutely zero redeemable qualities.

after episode six while i was interested in how all the characters and catra would interact, it definitely felt more directionless in like, where the characters Wanted to go beyond a vague “we have to somehow defeat horde prime” that unfortunately didn’t go away until like, the finale.

theme of friendship and togetherness felt particularly heavy handed. sometimes less is more

still white washing mara. ok

shadow weaver’s “sacrificial redemption”? bullshit. why would she suddenly care about etheria being colonized by horde prime when she was genuinely trying to capture and rule it with hordak? hell, why wouldn’t she side with horde prime? esp when she was pushing glimmer to use the heart last season? and continued to try and manipulate adora and catra in s5 until she made a singular nice decision for both of them? bullshit.

double trouble was brought back in s5 pretending to be someone who would’ve been extremely important / useful, was saved, and then... amounted to nothing?

i didn’t really care about any of the princess b-plots (esp frosta and micah’s, but also entrapta + mermista and the others). the princesses to me have always felt like the weakest characters, personality and relationship wise in comparison to other characters on the ‘villain side’ like scorpia, lonnie, and kyle originally, but more on that in the series review.

also no defective squad this season, either, which is unsurprising but then sort of jarring to suddenly see them show up

the mind controlled princess fights got boring really quickly, because i never felt like anyone of them were going to be seriously hurt, i knew it was all going to be perfectly reversed by the end,

i feel like i watched good pacing slowly die (that b-plot of shadow weaver and castapella just... walking through the woods and having the argument twice) before it was suddenly revived for the finale. rip.

Things that went completely unacknowledged, particularly between Glimmer and Catra (kidnapping, that Catra opened the portal that led to Glimmer’s mother dying, etc.) and between Adora and Glimmer.

I appreciated having more focus on Bow, but the fact it was at the expense of more focus on resolving Glimmer and Adora’s friendship — because Adora couldn’t focus on Catra and Glimmer, apparently — is unfortunate. that being said i also felt like the drama between adora and glimmer in s4 was kinda contrived, anyway? so it didn’t bother me very much.

while i was happy hordak was the one who got rid of horde prime, and while that wasn’t his ultimate end, hordak just. lifting horde prime up and letting him drop was anticlimatic as hell

OTHER THOUGHTS:

This scene initially left me feeling quite conflicted. I was sad for Catra and Adora, who had spent almost half the season at this point rebuilding / re-strengthening their bond, to have been torn apart for half the finale. And while I’ve always been a Catradora shipper and that’s never changed as the series went on, I’ve also been evaluating canon for signs that the relationship wouldn’t actually be healthy (beyond the obvious). So to me, Catra choosing to flat out leave Adora because she thought her friend didn’t love her back in the same way, did send up something to be examined as “conditional support”. But Catra then proved it didn’t matter, as she chose to go back, stand by Adora anyway, and laid herself bare to save her friend, and was clearly surprised when Adora said, “I love you too.” So, we all good.

This nod to where Grayskull (ie. honour of graykull) came from was also very cool and a nice little touch.

Now, onto the series as a whole.

shera series review

Short-form? Solid 7/10, liked the main cast, satisfying conclusion overall, and nice queer rep. Might rewatch someday.

Long form down belong:

PROS:

The core four. I’ve always loved Adora, Bow, and Glimmer’s relationship with one another. All are great protagonists, even if sometimes I was frustrated with Glimmer and wanted more focus on Bow individually. Adora is a beyond fantastic protagonist for everything the series wanted to explore, in addition to being funny, properly heroic, flawed, and sympathetic. Catra is her equal deuteragonist and near equal in development, sometimes more so. They’re an amazing main cast with always endearing or interesting interactions and I’m so happy they’re happy together.

The villains. The antagonists and villains in She-ra, whether you love ‘em — Catra, Scorpia — like ‘em — Double Trouble, Hordak, Entrapta — or hate ‘em — Horde Prime, Shadow Weaver — have always been significantly sympathetic, threatening, cunning, or all three at once. (Here’s looking at you, Catra). All have very distinct personalities and relationships with each other and with the exception of Double Trouble and Horde Prime, have season spanning, over arching arcs. There’s twists and turns and are always entertaining. Catra and Scorpia are easily the standouts then, and Shadow Weaver will never be in my good graces, lmao.

Theme. The choice to tackle abuse so heavily surprised me when I first watched season one. Up until “Promise” the show had been a very standard “power of love and friendship” as its main theme, so to have the opposite side of it — the dark underbelly — made perfect sense but was still a definite turn to the series as a whole. I’m not a massive fan that every villain except Horde Prime got redeemed, but Catra and Hordak made sense to me, and before that, Scorpia and Entrapta. In terms of Catra and Adora both being characters able to leave the cycle of abuse they grew up in, and Hordak as another, I thought on a whole it was done sensitively and executed well. She-Ra’s friendships between the Best Friend Squad held up the happier half of this deep dive into interpersonal relationships just as well.

Animation style. I miss 2D Western animation, She-Ra’s style is cute and unique, they always have good water animation (thank you for my life) and I always appreciated that a more ‘girly’ art style was used for a decidedly action oriented show. It’s not my favourite animation style for 2D cartoons right now (that would have to go to “Carmen Sandiego” hands down) but it’s cute and I like the hugs.

Dissection of the Chosen One trope. Where Adora’s character and arc has shone strongest, tbh. I’ve always been fond of Chosen One stories — of someone being given a mantle they could not choose, as we are often saddled with responsibilities or obligations we didn’t choose in our own lives — and how they deal with those responsibilities. The reluctant hero has been a particular fave. Mara’s “I never wanted to be a hero; I won’t be remembered as one” broke my heart. Light Hope’s “You do not choose. You are chosen” sent chills down my spine. But this shining sentence from Mara illustrated what She-Ra has been driving home this whole time, successfully, and a lesson I know myself and others could do with more of. Bravo, truly.

Catra and Adora’s relationship, not even necessarily as a romance, although yes, that too, has always been one of the strongest parts of the show. She Ra is consistently at its best when these two are interacting. I remember coming out of S1 alone thinking that not only would these two be endgame, but that they had one of the most complex, developed relationship between two women on TV, period. All their development (particularly with the S3 finale as another turning point, and S5 as their conclusion) only emphasized this. When Adora was seeing multiple Catras walk towards her in season five — hive mind, childhood friend, enemy, etc. — I was reminded for the umpteenth time what a complicated, layered relationship this is, and how satisfying it was to watch it reach its natural end. The fact that it’s here and queer is even better and means a lot to a very queer me.

CONS:

Too many non-distinct relationships and one-note characters. Remember how I said I didn’t care about the princess b-plots in s5? Yeah, that basically goes for any season. And I just... don’t care about the other princesses? I just never got a sense that I got the best personality read on them, or that they had distinct relationships between that independent of the Best Friend Squad. Like I could tell you how Frosta and Glimmer’s relationship works, because I remember that one ep they devoted to it, but like. I cannot tell you how Frosta feels about literally any of the other princesses as anything other than a group collective, and the same goes for the rest of them. I feel like I know like, two or three traits about Perfma, Mermista, and Frosta respectively. And for these three in particular I think that’s a genuine problem because like, I can list flaws and good characteristics for Lonnie and Kyle, Scorpia and Entrapta, but the princesses? Of Power? We’re with these characters every season, and I feel like I barely know them whatsoever.

I remember Netossa being competitive once and Spinerella being nice? All the princesses are overall nice? I had a similar issue with Double Trouble (beyond them being another nonbinary non human / shapeshifer character who’s also. a villain. and the only nb character in the series. Moving on) and Bow’s dads. These characters may get 15-40 minutes (or more of screentime) but all seem very one note. And that’s not a bad thing, it’s fine, but it’s not gonna get me invested. Meanwhile I have characters in other shows, like The Dragon Prince or Trollhunters, where a character has only been around for 27 episodes, or is there for a few or one, but I feel like I really, really Know who they Are, and I’m way more attached and invested. I really felt this when Catra joined the Rebellion (I get why Scorpia was mind controlled bc we Like Her, but like — missed opportunity for her to be around Catra and resolve things between them, too?) and like. All of the princesses had exactly the same reaction with very few differences and none of those differences indicated anything about their characters or long standing, complex opinions about an enemy who didn’t mean anything Significant to anyone outside of the Best Friend Squad.

This lack of individuality also led to weak worldbuilding, imo. Like, the princesses sometimes back out of the Rebellion, but you always know they’re gonna come back. There’s very few cultures of each individual princess explored (except Perfuma, I think back in S1). Any of the more animalistic humanoids like Regelio or Catra ever seem to really interact with the world any differently than ‘fully human’ counterparts. Etherians are either on the side of the Rebellion, isolationist, or in the Horde. Those are the three things — and that tends to be the lines drawn in most war (ie. either one side or the other, or neutral) but like, there’s detailed subsections or subgroups or reasons why.

Kyle is in the Horde and exists differently in it than Catra, Adora, Scorpia, or Lonnie does. The same can be said for the rest of them. They all exist differently, have multiple distinctive relationships (ie. Lonnie with Kyle, Lonnie in the group, Lonnie with Catra, and with Scorpia, etc).

Can’t say the same for the princesses. This is why I didn’t care about their B-plots. Because it’s almost always a princess having an interpersonal relationship — one of them being a more one off character, like Huntara with Perfuma, or one off conflict, like Glimmer and Frosta — and it’s resolved because they’ve learned How to Be Friends, and that’s that. Every time. And again, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, to not care about the side cast, or to want to teach lessons about friendship to a younger audience.

It’s just not by thing

Worldbuilding. She-ra has never had the most solid worldbuilding. Which is fine, because lots of fun things don’t. I don’t need to know all about the planet of Etheria, or any other planet, or have explanations behind all the princesses’ powers, or whatever. However, whenever the show does do worldbuilding or make it plot relevant, it never feels... all that solid? I still have no idea how magic works beyond the princesses having a rune stone, we never see how it works for anyone except Glimmer (which turns void once she becomes queen and doesn’t need to recharge anymore I think??) and Scorpia. Magic and the princesses’ powers can do whatever the plot needs it to, or needs it not to, without any tangible limitations or repeated consequences to over-usage, if that’s really even possible. (Again, I think Glimmer had issues, but that was it). Adora’s struggles with She-Ra happen more often, which makes sense, and I always felt like that, and She-Ra, was explained enough. The glimpses we get of Etheria’s history — the First Ones being colonizers, and not colonizers (war/colonization as a backdrop, not a focus, but more on that below) but Etheria’s saviour is also a First One etc. — as an example I found confusing / couldn’t keep straight. A wider galaxy is hinted at and presumably Horde Prime’s fall means all those other planets are free, and the Best Friend Squad does say they’re going to return magic, so it’s nice it’s acknowledged but... what does the return of magic, mean, really? How does it make any of them more powerful? So yeah, I kinda feel like I know nothing? Which wouldn’t be a problem, if She-Ra didn’t also try and act like it Has solid worldbuilding, sometimes. Because, in my opinion, it really doesn’t, and the expanding scope of every season didn’t really help matters when even simplicity was never really expanded on.

But like, in regards to the powers thing? Let little girls have their “I have cool super power” hero fantasy characters. I’m not gonna judge for it as a whole — kids aren’t going to be thinking about how the shopkeeper in s5 who was like “You’ll always be welcome here” doesn’t even have jurisdiction for it because she’s not mayor of that town.

Tone. Again, in the vein of: maybe I’m just getting too old, or don’t have a nostalgic filter for it, and She-Ra’s direct audience is for younger kids/girls than the cartoons I usually watch, but tone is something I feel She-Ra often struggled with. It would swing back from being a very serious, sometimes uncomfortable exploration of abuse, and simultaneously having a talking horse. And I get it, the show is made for younger girls.

But it does make me think of two of my favourite movies. Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1996) is a masterpiece of animation and music, with an engaging and overall dark story to boot. But even without the talking gargoyles (although they don’t help) the move is tonally inconsistent. When it’s talking itself seriously, it is incredible. When it doesn’t... it flounders, and keeps the film from being the full on masterpiece it could be. Dreamworks’ “The Prince of Egypt” (1998) released only two years later is a story with a similar serious tone and also deals with religion, imo, in a way that’s even easier to mess up than critiquing the Church. The protagonist, Moses, even commits man-slaughter on screen at one point! Babies die! And it’s still very much a film for kids, and there’s jokes here and there, but overall, “the Prince of Egypt” is a serious film — and it acts like it. It sticks the tone and the film is so much stronger for it, and reaches heights that THOND just couldn’t.

Shows like ATLA are also ones I would let a five year old watch, like She-Ra, but it balances it’s sometimes very different tones excellently. She-Ra never quite managed to for me, and this is in some ways the series’ biggest problem. Like I said above, I was pleasantly surprised that the s5 “filler theme ep” was like, good, because except for the DnD episode a couple seasons ago, the one in s4 was a massive hit for me, disrupted tone and then we had to wait to get it back on track, and really slowed narrative momentum. And I remember thinking, “Oh, we’re doing this again?” back in s4 so. Not a solitary problem, either.

This is also why I had an issue with some of the show’s humour, like Swift Wind. Like even this past season, when Shadow Weaver and Castaspella were bickering over who got to reveal what they’d found, it felt like something only put in there to be funny. Not because it was actually in character. And while humour doesn’t always work for me even for characters I know are comic relief (like, Scorpia is consistently hilarious and endearing) even when their jokes miss, it always felt in character that they would make that joke. Didn’t usually get this feeling from She-Ra.

Also nothing can ever make me like Swift Wind. Never. If I never rewatch She-Ra in the future, it will single handedly be because I have asked myself, “Do you want to put up with the talking horse again?” and the answer was a resounding no.

(That being said: may do a rewatch one day, and will defs be a show I show nieces/nephews in the future when they’re the right age for it, so, we shall see.)

Other thoughts:

The fact that Hordak never realized that conquering Etheria was wrong (or like, that Catra, Scorpia, or Entrapta did, either) didn’t surprise me because the war has always been used as a backdrop for driving interpersonal challenges and questions for characters more than anything else. The focus on war itself was never going to be there, but the show made it clear what themes it was going to focus on early on. Even if it may be a little odd in retrospect but like. I’m not mad at it, so whatever? Like I said: for other thoughts.

Conclusion

She-Ra is a beautiful mixed bag with some truly great arcs, characters, and rep. It’s not for everyone, but it made me happy and I enjoyed my time watching it. It’s impact on raising the standard of what queer rep can be and dynamic relationships on female led projects will last for a long time, and I’m very proud that Dreamworks (my fave animation studio) took the leap with them.

For the honour of grayskull! (And till next time!)

hi I’m spooky welcome to my age regression blog! est nov 2020🐻 🌈 plz read my about below 🧇

intro 🧸

about my big self: real age in my 20s, as my big self im a boy. im bi, im an artist, im mixed latino, and i live in the us

about my little self: my ‘little’ vibe is somewhere from four to seven? idk I don’t rlly know what kids of different ages are like, i don’t hang out with them very much - i might not match a specific age milestone wise, specially cuz im autistic. i don’t feel v gendery when I’m regressed so they/them or he/him pronouns are good! i go by spooky or frog here but u can jus call me nicknames too :)

about my regression: regressing is something i do, or try to do, consciously, rather than an innate reaction. it’s a therapeutic technique for me. trying to vibe with the idea that it’s never too late to have a good childhood. mental health is pretty frequently shaky n regressing relaxes me and makes me happy and helps me get into the right mindset to take care of myself :) ill probably reblog aesthetic and positivity here and make some of my own moodboards and outfits and stuff and maybe art and activity sheets! activity likely to be irregular cuz i don’t have a very good memory and hyperfixations jump around a lot. also cuz when i’m regressed the last thing on my mind is Posting on my Blog a lot of the time tbh. usually when i’m posting i’m not regressed, i’m just archiving stuff to look at later or that i think other people might like.

about my brain: im autistic! i also have adhd! i was an anxious child and im an anxious adult and that’s just the vibe im gonna be bringing to this place

community stuff: when i got into regression there was a ton of like inter-community drama and discourse that was so totally sucky and not kiddo-friendly. fortunately it seems like that has calmed down a lot in the last few years; still this blog isn’t affiliated with any specific community or term. i’m just vibing here. i’ll tag with agere and agedre and i use the terms cg/carer and little because i’m used to them, idrc what other communities use them. i post no ns/fw interaction or content or cg//I of any kind. please respect my dni please :)

dni please: anti-regression/agedre (obviously), interaction from kink/nsfw blog, lgbt+phobic, pr0-4 or th1nsp°(!), pro-p4r4 blogs (if u don’t know what these mean then ur good don’t worry about it). ok to follow/like from your main even if your main is not 100% kid-friendly, mine isn’t so i get it.

other: im also a selfish¡pper and i’ll probably make regression content related my f/o’s - i like imagining some of them as regressors cuz i like relating to them, when i’m regressed i just think of them as my friends - i imagine others of them as carers cuz i don’t have one irl and they comfort me :) my f/o list is super obscure and distinct so if u recognize me from any of them shhhh no u don’t please

petre: i think petre sounds really fun and pet regressors are super cool people and automatically my friends, i haven’t tried it but i might cuz seems relaxing and fun

It wvould complete the look though. caepaecaesurae I may try a half-and-half garment of some sort soon. brackishbarracuda plz take pictures i need this shit caepaecaesurae I do lovwe my selfie tag. brackishbarracuda s cause its good shit caepaecaesurae Howv do you feel about breasted, marginally nsfwv pictures of me? brackishbarracuda im down caepaecaesurae http://caepaecaesurae.tumblr.com/post/130431613390/speaking-of-anons-d brackishbarracuda v nice dam tho where tf did u get half those scars brackishbarracuda impressive caepaecaesurae I don't normally showv much skin. The large round ones on the legs are from an air battle invwolvwing laser cannons, during the game. brackishbarracuda uh first off fuckin ow caepaecaesurae Pff. Yes, but wve wvon. brackishbarracuda secondly i get it if u aint comfy w it oar w/e but u ought show more a it imo and that right theres why caepaecaesurae A good half of the scars you see there are from my first century on Alternia. ...at the end of wvhich, I began wvearing neck to wvrist to ankle bodyarmor, of the sort contained in that package. Havwe you stopped by that hivwe yet, by the by? brackishbarracuda shit yeah i did i thought id said thank u btw caepaecaesurae You may havwe, I'm scattered lately. brackishbarracuda pike seariously i aint been in a searious scrape in a while but pike dam i cant get away from nofin w/o bleedin it feels like caepaecaesurae Armor that no one knowvs you're wvearing can be a wvonderful game changer. It turns a knife in the ribs into an invwitation to play. brackishbarracuda as much as i like it and the apron tbh shit is nice brackishbarracuda u probably made clams night more than mine w the armor caepaecaesurae I hope it servwes wvell, or entertains. Or that the flavwor vwials do. brackishbarracuda hes the one whos gotta stitch me up half the tide caepaecaesurae A good role for a quadrant. If you elect to wvear the vwest, at least he'll only be stitching up limbs. brackishbarracuda lmao yeah fair also i should punch u in the nose for the fuckin shit u sent me pike it was so good that it legit made me mad how tf caepaecaesurae ... Hope player. "Beyond belief" is my playground. brackishbarracuda throws my dam hands caepaecaesurae I can make things that I can imagine. Cae*fora* made things that *She* could imagine. brackishbarracuda shit is fucked up caepaecaesurae A bit. ... I usually try to make things that are slightly less... Intense... than that... I hope it wvasn't too much? brackishbarracuda isle survive but my tongue aint gonna b happy w anyfin ever again this is me jokin mostly i aint upset at u oar anyfin caepaecaesurae ..Still, pardon. brackishbarracuda s aight cae ur good brackishbarracuda seariously tho why aint u show off ur scars more 38? caepaecaesurae Enough of them havwe unfortunate sources for it to be uncomfortable wvhen specific ones are indicated and remarked on, much of the time. caepaecaesurae ... Mostly, I don't like taking my armor off, evwer. I'vwe been getting better at removwing it long enough for selfies though. brackishbarracuda well dam the one u just showed me took some fuckin guts then didnt it caepaecaesurae Heh. It wvas taken during a period of amnesia wvhere I didn't remember wvhere most of them wvere from. brackishbarracuda do u think u could do it again caepaecaesurae Possibly, though I think my selfie tag could use more less sexual things. brackishbarracuda u oughta take a pic w arlequin oar somefin then how tall efin are u btw pike are u taller than he is oar shorter or caepaecaesurae I'm a good foot and a half shorter than him, last I checked. brackishbarracuda well that makes me feel beta at least caepaecaesurae My adult height in sevweral centuries ought to be near wvhere he is nowv. brackishbarracuda yall are entirely too fuckin tall u kno that caepaecaesurae So I hear. If it makes you feel any better, all the humans top out somewvhere in the six or sevwen range I think. They all look somewvhere betwveen fivwe and six nowv. The carapacians are a foot or twvo belowv that. brackishbarracuda pike im saury i realize u probably hear that alot but i am half a arlequins now hight an he was talkin pike sixteen feet an im overe here pike dude ur gonna b over three times my size how tf is that gonna efin work caepaecaesurae Carefully and wvith gusto. brackishbarracuda aight tru tho caepaecaesurae Havwe you evwer done the thing wvhere you rest hip to hip wvith a partner and pretend theirs is yours and marvwel at the difference? Some trolls enjoy that. I think that one wvill only improvwe as he ages, for you. caepaecaesurae "Look wvhat I'm packing nowv" brackishbarracuda i havent and now im kinda wonderin wtf ive been doin w my life caepaecaesurae You're wvelcome. .. Then again I'vwe used googly eyes in the bedroom before, so maybe my advwice isn't the best. brackishbarracuda bouy nah fuck that im gonna get a pack and use em on dirk that shit is perf caepaecaesurae My partner grewv annoyed and ripped them off, wvhich is honestly all I could hope for. brackishbarracuda tbh hell probably laugh till he cries which i count as a win brackishbarracuda but yeah tbh rippin em off sounds pike a good idea brackishbarracuda u kno me an u oughtta hang out sometide caepaecaesurae WVe should, I imagine wve'd get into heaps of trouble if any wvas avwailable. brackishbarracuda trouble is kinda my thing yeah brackishbarracuda i eel pike youd enjoy some trouble caepaecaesurae Once upon a time, maybe. It's been a wvhile, and I might be a bit more boring nowv. Nice things, good stories, and good laughs? Those are dear to heart. brackishbarracuda now sea mr suns out guns out tenta tattoo false boob ampora w the hella scars i aint believe you wouldnt enjoy a little trouble caepaecaesurae I'vwe had a vwery interesting life. I'm relearning howv to enjoy trouble. brackishbarracuda isle sea if i cant think of some baby trouble steps caepaecaesurae Sounds like a treat to me. caepaecaesurae Let me knowv sometime, alright? brackishbarracuda yeah def at the v least ur fun to talk to and anybody i can b a bad influence on is aight by me u feel caepaecaesurae Aye, I hear you It'd be nice to lean back in that direction somenight. I'vwe been sitting around drinking tea a wvhile. brackishbarracuda s easy to get restless i aint efin alternian and sometides i just need to move and tear into somefin before that somefin becomes me caepaecaesurae Aye. ...I sail a ship around sometimes. Transport pads to get back to hivwe often. Plenty of wvild lands out there to explore. brackishbarracuda theres plenty a world here to sea if u ever decide u wanna we aint managed a drone yet be in a week oar so probably caepaecaesurae The mile-high deer? Aye I'vwe a curiosity. I'm relievwed that you're considering the drone. brackishbarracuda im uh considerin more than the drone tbh caepaecaesurae Aye? brackishbarracuda been thinkin a puttin my crown on and meanin it caepaecaesurae Lacking in context, I'm imagining you calling yourself queen of a single hivwe surrounded by largish deer. brackishbarracuda i mean in all technicality i earned the fuckin thing i blew up my planet i killed the empress so by right etc etc blah blah blah i just been runnin from it since brackishbarracuda no u aint wrong i gotta start somwhere fuckin ridiculous as it is if they aint anybody else on the planet isle take it theres a small frozen planet my ex red left me so thats two off the bat ig caepaecaesurae If there's no one else it seems a bit... abrupt. Then again, givwen a single wvorking mothergrub, one is nevwer far from an empire. I suspect Arlequin wvould havwe mixed feelings. brackishbarracuda ive convinced my spade to let me sit w em and do some political diplomatic shit and i aint lookin to be a bloody conquerer im just lookin to stop runnin from what i was hatched for mayb do some decent shit w whatever authority i got somefin betta than home was anyway caepaecaesurae I wvish you luck wvith it if you do. brackishbarracuda thanks 38/ caepaecaesurae It's hard to get in trouble wvhen you're in charge. brackishbarracuda why u gotta do me like this caepaecaesurae WVell... Ask Tyfora howv much fun her powver is. brackishbarracuda id rather naut caepaecaesurae Ask Arlequin howv much he wvants to strivwe for a newv flag -- at least, this early. brackishbarracuda i oughta talk to him aboat it tho yeah caepaecaesurae Powver is complicated. That's all. caepaecaesurae More so than you might be preparing yourself for. brackishbarracuda i aint trynna rush into anyfin aight an isle talk to arlequin i kno shit aint easy it aint somefin im thinkin aboat lightly caepaecaesurae Then I wvish you luck. I'm cautious about swvearing loyalties lightly, but you'll likely havwe me on call if emergencies strike. brackishbarracuda i dont take that lightly either cae thank u i afishiate it caepaecaesurae WVe'll see wvhat comes. I'm afraid it's late though. Another night? brackishbarracuda a course thanks for talkin at me caepaecaesurae Looking forwvard to it. Rest wvell wvhen you go. brackishbarracuda yeah sleep good
