#shera confessions

[tippenfunkaport]

I like to headcanon that Melog is just the biggest busybody. It's been bored and alone on a dead planet for decades with no one to talk to, the mundane day to day drama of other people is such a novelty to it, it can't get enough. Plus it can become invisible and doesn't have a great grasp of privacy so it's forever listening in on conversations and generally getting way too invested in everyone's personal business.

Which means Catra, to her vast dismay, knows everyone's secrets. She would really REALLY rather not and has tried to teach Melog about boundaries but the creature does what it wants. But it means that sometimes she finds out about some misunderstanding or missed connection going on that is so downright stupid that it's just going to drive her nuts if she lets it continue so she begrudgingly has to insert herself into this drama to match-make or clear up an argument literally just so she doesn't have to hear about it anymore.

Which means, to her absolute horror she gets this reputation of being near psychic, so good at resolving personal drama that people come to her with their problems no matter how she tries to deter them and meanwhile it's really because Tealog over here is addicted to gossip.

Shera introduced me to fandom culture and oc making and IT SHOWS

That show rewired my brain so bad lmao

[avidbeader]

Heh, just saw the new round for that AO3 ships poll, and this one made me stop and wish for a third option to eject them both out of the poll and into hell:

[jellyfishcharm]

“in every universe?”

“yeah in every universe”

BAKUDEKU ISNT EVEN MY FAVORITE MHA SHIP AND I HAVENT WATCHED SHERA IN YEARS BUT THEIR PARALLELS MAKE ME GO INSANE ITS SO GOOD PERFECT CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO RIVALS TO ENEMIES TO CONFESSION TO LOVERS

[1anthophobia]

The most lesbian situationships from non sapphic couples!

rewatching s5 of shera has awaken smth in me, so i present to you:

1. Petrigrof

the most obvious one, tho we cant deny the reason. seriously? your unrequeired love of thousands of years sacrificed herself for your safety? and during those thousands of years you both yearned for each other, even in madness? if this is not your typical wlw situationship, I don't know what is.

2. Azicrow

not sure if these count as non sapphics but they will for now. anyways

6000 years, and you only kissed ONCE AND immediately broke up? I fear those two might actually be THE standart for a lesbian friendship-with-benefits. (also the way the s2 finale can be easily paralleled to homophobia? cmon)

3. Payneland

there is nothing more sapphic then saying that telling your after-life soulmate is gonna be your "best mate for eternity" after he confessed his love for you on the literal stairs of hell. they also look very good genderbended so that's saying smth also.

4. CherryCrush

their whole feelings back and forth and the entire "were just friendly friends I'm not going to ruin it *proceeds to make out*" thing is just so sapphic. honestly I really want them to be lesbians it would make the comic million times better (/j)

5. Kavehtam/Haikaveh

honestly this one is a bit controversial for me since their relationship feels the least wlw to me, but at the same time. roommates with 5+ old situationship? cmon now

honorable mention!

Ricky x Jane doe

I can't quite put this one into words and not sound completely insane, but I feel that they have smth not straight going on.

thank you for reading this masterpiece of a post I spent whole 15 minutes on :3 pls follow me im very funny (and im desperate for moots)

OC art!!

These are two of the antagonists in my oc lore.

INFO DUMP!!

Volta is a genderless bug alien with shapshifting powers and has the ability to drain others' magic. They are inspired by Queen chrysalis(mlp), double trouble (shera), and the Butt Witch (twelve forever). In my head, they are voiced by Matt berry.

Libidine is a genderfluid succubus/incubus(half human but doesn't know that yet) that has the ability to seduce people and feeds of sex. Inspired by noel fielding (in the early 2000s) and 6arelyhuman. In my head, she is voiced by noel fielding.

Volta needs to get more powerful so they can get off earth and back to their home planet they do this by draining the powers of other monsters/creatures. Libidine is contracted by asmodeus to go to earth and basically corrupt as meny humans as possible. She does this by using a human form and becoming a famous rockstar because who doesn't want to fuck a rocstar? They met as volta could sense how much magic power libidine had, but they became friends and eventually started dating (but volta only planned on using libidine as a kinda feeding source of magic). Libidine is very much in love and would do enything for volta, so he helps volta by finding sources of power so they can get home as he also wants to get off Earth because then the contract will hold no power over her.

However, the pair tries to capture the vampire king, vitsca (who is the main character of my oc lore) as he has very powerful gemstones. They try two times, and on the second try, volta realise that they are not powerful enough to fight vitsca, so they drain all of libidines magic, and confesses that they never loved him and was using him the whole time. But when volta drains his magic, it's revealed that he is half human. Draining his magic just made him human, but he had never taken care of his human needs, making him extremely malnourished and sick.

Vitsca and his friends defeat volta and take care of libidine, giving him his powers back.

Your SheRa/Utena fannart has inspired me. May I please present: Catra's confession scene at the Heart. But with Utena dialogue. "You still don't know / The only time I was ever happy was when I was with you."

[alilweirddragon]

I'm SO oblivious to romance snnsjdjd when I was watching shera I didn't know that bow and glimmer had feelings for each other until they were literally confessing to each other

Things I want to see in Final Fantasy VII Remake part 3

-Angst

-More angst

-Even more angst

-The party finally realizing that Cloud is being possessed (having him attack everyone)

-More Evil!Cloud scenes (like Anakin in Revenge of the Sith after he becomes Darth Vader)

-Rocket Town (side note I don’t know why but I imagine Shera being voiced by Hynden Walch (aka Princess Bubblegum). They’re both scientists, that’s really the only reason why.)

-You can now play as Vincent/Cid

-The conclusion of Yuffie, Vincent, and Cid’s character arcs

-Cloud and Tifa finally confessing their love (I already talked about this in a post from a few weeks ago, check it out baybeee)

-Safer Sephiroth (A lot of people think he’ll be called Seraph Sephiroth but I think Savior Sephiroth would be a better fit, given his fallen angel aesthetic)

-The synergy attack between Vincent and Barret is a Pulp Fiction reference (they remind me of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in that film, and Barret definitely would say Sam Jackson’s favorite word if the game were rated M)

-A strong focus on the party’s relationship and their importance to Cloud

-Vincent and Cid get flashback sequences (get ready to cry again, mwahahaha!)

-Resolution scenes where Cloud talks to whoever (like in Remake near that game’s finale)

-Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon (I don’t know how everyone will fight EW underwater, maybe give them biosuits or something)

-Being able to fly around in the Highwind

-Supernova (can you imagine how awesome it would look with PS5 graphics ooh wee)

-Potential subtitles (Renewal, Return, Refrain, Reunion, Resurrection, Resolution, Revelation, Reconciliation, Repentance, Redemption)

And now, the fun part: the game’s boxart!

The game’s subtitle will be blue (judging from Rebirth’s boxart showing green (Remake) and red (Rebirth) for Cloud and Sephiroth, with Zack’s section being blue (Revengeance)) and the boxart reflects this by having the party standing on the deck of the Highwind with Zack and Aerith in the background to the left out of focus (representing hope), looking as if they’re praying since…y’know. The right side will have a storm cloud/fire from Meteor with our friend looking all menacing (you know who I’m talking about).

Anonymous in case konami stans try to harass me again, literally had to make a new blog for this

@curesweetbea27 is a friend of Konami's and is also the admin of blogs like @western-magical-girl-confessions and the shera s5 critic blog, two blogs notorious for posting negative confessions about black characters while positive confessions about black characters are always posted last. One look at the admin's likes page and you see dozens upon dozens of posts that support inc/st ships (also worth noting that those ships are always m/m and m/f) even though one of the reasons why they hate CA (a lesbian ship) is because it's ""inc/st"" and ""based on an actual abusive relationship"". This isn't a "my friends can have different view points than me" situation, this is a blatant display of hypocrisy and undeniable proof of misogyny, racism and lesphobia in fandom spaces.

Anti Catra/Catradora

This series has always felt like the Catra Show, and so much so that even Hordak never felt like the main villain. And nothing drove that point home more than season five proving once and for all that this series moral line(or lack there of) is REALLY about a Villain Protagonist when the character that increasingly became a MONSTER for FOUR SEASONS still got everything she wanted in the end.    

Catra is the poster child for the moral bankruptcy of this series.  

I can't buy her ''redemption,'' or her relationship with Adora, because she WENT TO FAR.  

Therefore nor can I buy the HYPOCRITICAL mental gymnastics that arise when she is a topic of discussion in the fandom.  

For four seasons I watched this character WILLINGLY and GLEEFULLY jump rope with the moral event horizon. She eventually finally broke it to the pieces when she deliberately GENOCIDES everyone on the PLANET, because of her sick,evil obsession with being better than Adora.  

Loved all this time my behind.

Catra was a vile person from her introduction, and just got increasingly more poisonous as the show went on.  

Season Five wants us to treat Catra like a bad friend that said a few mean words here and there, and therefore all she has to do is sincerely apologize then friendship can begin again.  

Here's the thing Catra wasn't just a bad friend, but also an ABUSER and a FASCIST.  

She had multiple opportunities to leave the horde,and had no reason to stay in the first place, gleefully attacks the resistance, is the reason Angela died, tried straight up multiple times to end Adora’s and her friends lives, and was just an abomination to even the ones on her side....    

On the flip side we have Adora who doesn’t give a damn about Catra for four seasons. She’s too busy enjoying life with her REAL friends. Try and recall, was there ever a moment where Adora was...concerned for Catra’s safety? Pining for her in any way romantically? Ever? Even once during the first four? Because I don’t. Honestly Catra wasn’t important to Adora until Catra showed up on screen. And then they both wanted to kill each other. Any moments of Adora thinking about Catra it was in the context of Catra being her ENEMY.

But I'm supposed to believe in their romance based on what? 

Catra's toxicity? Adora's nonexistent romantic feelings for pretty much the entire series?    

In season 5 all Catra had to do was one act of atonement and out of nowhere, like Adora has been possessed by the ghost of Queer Rep, she suddenly can’t get Catra out of her head. Also note Catra didn't save Glimmer because she realized her past actions were evil; no it was all for Adora's sake i.e. the person she is toxically obsessed with.  

Back to Catra, her redemption is handled with the most condescending of kid gloves. It’s like she was replaced by a clone for season five. She’s just accepted. It's like seasons 1-4 didn't happen. The forgiveness was excessive and forced so we could be okay with this ABUSER / WAR CRIMINAL being chummy and romantic with her victims.

For example Glimmer cries over her, hugs her, kisses her cheek etc... Yet Catra is responsible for her MOTHER’S DEATH, the WORLD ENDING once before, trying to KILL her, war crimes against Bright Moon/HER KINGDOM...  

Then Entrapta also forgives Catra like it’s nothing even though she sent HER TO DIE, and apparently she was in this hell space for a YEAR.  

Same with Scorpia who forgives Catra's toxicity in five seconds.  

But everything is suppose to be wonderful because an ABUSER ends the series ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED WITH HER VICTIM?

When Adora said you made your choice now live with it THAT should have been the end of any reconciliation either platonic of romantic.  

Even her flashbacks are her being abusive. You see her in one of them( in her so called redemption season at that) SCRATCHING Adora's FACE to the point it left BLOOD,and JUMPING ON HER STOMACH just because Adora DARED to be friends with other people.

This was pretty much every childhood flashback they showed.

She would emotionally and physically abuse Adora, and then Adora would take her back. 

This would continue even as near adults. It was a PATTERN(red flag) that Adora unfortunately didn't escape.  

But.....I always loved you,says Catra.  

For ADORA'S own mental health/closure she could forgive,but only if she also makes it clear that she doesn't want her abuser/war criminal ex friend back in her life.    

I could have tolerated that ending instead of Adora becoming a COUPLE with her ABUSER.  

Basically this villain sue ends the show getting everything she wants even after evil manipulation of several characters, genocide, war crimes against her own people, repeated attempts at murder,physical and mental abuse(especially toward Adora), and just being a complete psychopath to anyone within spitting distance of her toxicity.

She gets to be pretty much a abusive scum bucket for four seasons, on top of ACTUALLY DOING THE SAME THING PRIME WANTED TO DO, yet whiplash forgiveness and Lesbians 4 Evah is her ending.    

"So we're all just okay with this?", says Mermista incredulously of the war criminal Hordak. 

Good question,but then I remember you all seem to be okay with war criminal Catra who is pretty much Hordak's parallel soo ....  

Her mirror Hordak, according to the showrunner, is sentenced to beast island for his war crimes. However, my question then becomes where is Catra's sentence? Oh, that's right if you're the creator’s pet you get to be a war criminal in peace.    

It's also convenient that Mermista was chipped,and therefore didn't get to say anything to the girl who helped bring down her kingdom with a smile on her face.

Funny how that worked out.  

It's even more convenient that her victims gave their lighting fast forgiveness.  

Can't have icky things like abuse and war crimes get in the way of that ending smooch you know.  

I suppose we also just need to look at Angella as collateral damage while we smile as her daughter hugs and kisses her killer I guess.    

I also find it odd(since were loving abusers and war criminals) that Shadow Weaver point blank doesn't get forgiveness from Adora, and she even ends the series dead. However, she defected to the hero’s side in season two(regardless of any impure motivation), and stayed there and helped the protagonists until her season five death. But Catra, who not only stayed with the conquering organization the Horde for almost the entire series as well as eventually becoming their LEADER, was not only forgiven but also rewarded a romance with her victim. Curious.  

I'm tired of this abominable trope invading every piece of media. An antagonist crosses the moral event horizon, and some even break it to pieces, but somehow the story gets selective amnesia and thus they are free to join the protagonists with their numerous sick crimes ignored or a sob story is bsed into a justification onto why we should ignore physical and emotional abuse and/or the numerous bodies piled up.    

When you don't have a moral LINE in your narrative then that means you have already made a mockery out of morality and numerous victims.  

The only way I can stomach her season five ‘’redemption’’, and lighting quick forgiveness, is if I forget the monster of four seasons didn't exist. 

Problem is I can't do that.  

Why should I get any catharsis that the protagonists prevailed over Horde Prime when you have two characters in particular(Hordak,Catra) that are pretty much him with a sob story attached. If THEY get to kumbaya with the hero's then Prime should to because that's honestly where the morals are at in this story.    

I had to stop watching two shows(Vampire Diaries and Once Upon a Time) because I got tired of this sick trope. There were SEASONS worth of whitewashing and selective amnesia for two sick and evil characters(Damien Savatore and Regina), to the point their VICTIMS became their BIGGEST CHEERLEADERS and LOVE INTERESTS.  

There is no justice when this vile trope is in play.  

The moral event horizon exists for a reason. It means once a character has jumped over it then there should be no moral way they can come back from it. Humanizing them is a good narrative choice,but that humanization doesn't and SHOULDN'T erase their heinous crimes.  

Thus the only true ending that moral event horizon characters should get are redemption equals death or thanks for growing a conscious and helping us out, but you're STILL going to prison for life afterwards kay. They don't get to kumbaya with their victims while the other one's, THE DEAD BODIES, stay cold.  

But you know if I HAD to I COULD have TOLERATED Catra and Hordak going on an atonement journey so they could help the people still living that they made homeless/ lives they ruined. Also they can do this while they both get the therapy they badly need.  

I needed CONSEQUENCES that STUCK.  

Instead Catra (ADORA'S ABUSER) gets to make out with Adora(HER VICTIM), and also become her girlfriend. She also becomes the best friend of her other victims.  

So it seems this show's message is no matter how much emotional and physical pain a person does to you it's okay to not only let them back in your life(damn your mental health I guess),but it’s also fine to enter a romantic relationship with them as well.   

Yes, that's what children need to see.  

It's also hilarious that some of her fans say she's Zuko.

No.

She's what would happen if Azula and Kylo Ren were made into one character.

I did my research on the show runner, and the creators pet/villain sue bias became clearer. 

Catra is HER, and Adora is her wife.   

That explains EVERYTHING, and not in a good way.   

What the show's title should actually be called: 

She-Ra:The Story of a Villain Sue Antagonist,War Criminal Abuser,That Gets a Happily Ever After With Her Victim; Whom She Emotionally and Physically Abused for Four Seasons.    

Another alternate: 

She-Ra: The Story of Lesbian Reylo.

[etheriankid]

adora, taking the picture: "guys, smile for the camera :D"

catra and melog: 😑😑

[apureillusion]

it’s always ily and never dygiilyiahspjtos

[soranis-sunshadow]

Catra's not latina, she's a teenage alien catgirl. Hordak is not white, he's an alien clone, Glimmer is not asian, she's Etherian royalty. None of the social context of race applies in a fictional fantasy world. These people don't have the history and social context for real world interactions between them to be racially representative. I wish people would stop doing that in fiction. The fact that they have certain physical features doesn’t mean that they have the same social context. Let aliens be alien pls.  (i agree with this confession so, so much)

as a latina girl, i have an issue with noelle saying she “considers” catra to be latina. being latine isnt a race, it’s being born in latin america an having its culture. catra does not have a SINGLE trait that indicates that she’s latina or at least connected to our culture, and also;; LATIN AMERICA DOESNT EXIST IN ETHERIA. noelle should just have said that catra is a woc and end her tweet. and also, the fact that catra is a “latina” woc obsessed with a white girl and has +

+ animalistic traits and.. an aggressive behaviour (which, she is a CAT and that’s fine, but. she’s also the only “considered” latina character.) which are harmful stereotypes. so yeah. i kinda dislike latina catra and i feel that if i share ny thoughts her stans will attack me :)
