“Oooo at least Caitlyn only hit Vi once whereas Catra hurt Adora numerous times-” listen. Listen. A rich bih police officer hitting her partner- who they have locked lips with, established domesticity with, been romantic with- just once- is infinitely worse than a raised as a child cadet hitting their platonic friend- and fighting them, apologizing twice, no longer hurting them, kissing them, and then never hurting them ever again- numerous times. Forever and always.

positions matter more than important than harm caused. Context is key. A finance manager you’ve hired and trust stealing your money is always scarier than a homeless person you don’t know stealing your money. Just like. Think of the surrounding information.

If I had a nickel for every ship I have that has a vague canon status with two scientists

one trying to eradicate their imperfections and the other that tells them their imperfections makes them beautiful I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

a thing about she ra that I think is *criminally* underrated is scorpia and entrapta's friendship.

why? simple. they're some of the only people who actually try to understand and accommodate each other.

when scorpia rambles on about something she already told her, entrapta doesn't get upset. if she's annoyed, she doesn't lash out or demean her. she just checks if she told her with the recorder, and gently remind her she already said that. no yelling at her for being so annoying or loud. just politely telling her she already said that and scorpia responds to it immediately. when scorpia gets insecure in moment of truth thinking she's just bothering her, entrapta is quick to reassure her and tell her she can stay. no getting upset at her for being clingy. just reassuring her she can stay and explaining what was going on. entrapta never gets cross with scorpia for making mistakes.

this goes both ways. when catra shuts down entrapta wanting to drink hot cocoa in the north, scorpia is quick to go get it instead and make jokes about it. she is the FIRST one to defend her when people are too harsh on her, she vouches for her character with no hesitation. hell, she was able to think like entrapta surprisingly well. in my mind, they're very close.

neither of them are "normal" and they get each other. they don't expect the other to understand everything immediately. they just explain and are patient with each other even when they struggle.

(don't tag as ship.)

In the next panel they say, "They're the same picture". The two pictures have been edited to show Madame Razz from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and Lilia Calderu from Agatha All Along.

I’ve seen some complaints that Gabriel had somehow been redeemed in the finale, and that the show was disgusting for celebrating an abuser, and like

No

That’s the exact opposite of what happened

Marinette made it a point to give Gabriel one last chance to take accountability and finally become a good father to Adrien. Not only did he turn her down, but he straight up attacked her and carried on with his plan, convinced of his own moral superiority the entire time

Whether or not his last act was to bring back Emilie or to try to fix the damage he caused ultimately does not matter. It has been hammered into our brains, repeatedly, that making the wish is dangerous, irresponsible, and a refusal to accept the notion of mortality AS A GROWN ASS ADULT. But whatever the inevitable consequences turn out to be — he won’t be around to experience them.

We know what a redemption arc (admittedly incomplete, but hopefully on its way to being wrapped up in S6) looks like in Miraculous, and it’s significant that this jerk managed to miss all the marks a fourteen-year-old successfully hit:

Gabriel will never have to face any legal repercussions for terrorising an entire city for a year, nor for trying to take over the world. He will never have to explain to Adrien what this cruel charade was all for. This poor child is going to break next season, and that statue is 1,000% getting cataclysmed, but it doesn’t matter. The person who hurt him isn’t there anymore. No justice can be achieved.

In other words, he did not get redeemed. He pulled a Shadow Weaver.
