#she-ra 2018

[catras-breakup-song]

so we all hate that a live-action reboot of she-ra has been announced (at least on twitter), but i think there's a misconception going around that the 2018 show will have anything to do with it and that's not true. therefore, absolutely nothing that comes out of it will be canon to the version that we care about.

DreamWorks recently produced the Netflix animated series “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.” However, the live-action version will be a new, standalone story and will not be connected to the animated show.

i've seen various speculations that all the characters will be white, skinny, straight, and cis. that's honestly very likely considering nate stevenson won't be involved in the production, and i especially have absolutely no interest if that's the case. however, it would (probably) be wrong to claim it's erasure of oppressed minorities because that's exactly how they were back in the 80s, which is the source material being used again. it's best to think of the original cartoon and the latest cartoon as featuring entirely different characters from each other:

i'm posting this because i don't want anyone to be disappointed by who the actresses & actors are based on expectations & demands that we should know won't be met. i strongly disagree with potentially choosing to reboot the original show instead of the current one, because those designs are cardboard cutouts made to sell toys and not up-to-date, as well as the fact that the newer characters are much more complex and compelling. that being said, the article says the franchise will be associated with neither, so it could really end up being for better or for worse (i highly doubt it will be as good as SPOP 2018 though). unfortunately, we can't change anything.

my suggestion is just to ignore any news about it if things start to look unsatisfactory and not watch once it eventually releases. it doesn't have to affect the fandom at all. do with this information whatever you will and have a nice timezone.

hopefully this post ages poorly and the upcoming live-action will be decent, even if it's different!

The top two characters will be eligible to proceed into the bracket!

Propaganda under the cut.

Catra:

poor little meowmeow who tried to destroy reality bc she has mommy issues. deserves to win bc she is a lesbian and she is so so hot

Did not give a SHIT that the evil invading force she worked for was evil even though she 100% knew. Instead of escaping she thought 'How do I make this worse for literally everybody including myself?' and then she did that.

She qualifies because she is the most morally ambiguous but she did it all out of love for the woman she loves. She's the best there is.

shes a girlboss plain and simple. shes an abused child who lost her closest friend and decided if she couldnt be the hero shed be the villain. she beat up her abuser and became the top commander of the evil army, just under its leader. she tried to kill her ex best friend sooooooo many times. she briefly found solace in the desert but everything came undone and she ended up activating a portal that would destroy the world. she lived briefly in paradise but things went wrong and she tried to kill her ex best friend again. these two are SO homoerotic just to be clear like its genuinely insane. she became consumed by her work and lost her few real connections in the horde. she sent her friend to beast island to die. she hired a hot shapeshifter who betrayed her and her abandonment issues only escalated. shes deeply compelling and sympathetic. she got abducted and joined the evil space empire. she betrayed them. she got mind controlled. her ex best friend saved her. she saved the universe with the power of kissing her gf who was dying of poison. she did a lot of atrocities while she was being the teenage commander of an army trying to take over the world. shes super girlboss. shes snarky as fuck. i love her deeply. vote catra

Entrapta:

A girl. A boss. She's good... generally. But more than morality, she cares about ROBOTS and SCIENCE. She provided a lot of help to the bad guys because of SCIENCE. But she's not fundamentally bad. She cares about good, but this is accessory.

Glimmer:

that time her mom died and she was forced to become queen and leader of a war that had been going on for longer than she had been alive and all her relationships became strained and ultimately she lost her connection with her two best friends as the rifts between them grew bigger and bigger and they betrayed her and she went on with doing the bidding of an ancient entity who had evil goals because ultimately she had been fighting a war her entire life and it didnt matter what the cost was. safe equaled the horde being destroyed. and she was willing to do anything to achieve that. and then she got abducted by a space emperor and had a really homoerotic relationship with the other problematic girlboss from this show i need to submit and then she was saved and then she reconciled with her friends and beat her mind controlled dad but also yeah she did a bunch of bad shit and i love her. go glimmer. my favorite character fr fr

First two commissions I've completed for @ahmadturk00's fundraiser, one in each style:

Mermista in the option 2 watermelon palette Frieren in option 1 (styled after Mothica for a bit extra)

Thanks to the buyers who chipped in, you're making an impact! If you'd like one for yourself, the link is under the cut; also attached is proof of donation

Each option is 30 USD, but requesting a specific inspo for option 1 is an extra 10 USD. Therefore these two totaled 70 USD, which equals about 66 EUR (the currency they're using for this campaign).

I have now completed my third album cover redraw. This time, I chose Muse's Absolution album and Hordak because I thought the theme went well with his story!

The good thing about not having a canon kiss is that we can make up our own first kiss scenarios. Here's mine! :) It's kinda inspired by my own first kiss, haha. So romantic. 😚
