#spop Adora

[saturn-leia]

this was supposed to be just a warmup...... so anyway pit fighter adora as a treat!!

[manic-sapphic]

nope this isn't me talking about save the cat again~

and no, ofc it totally doesn't center around adora choosing to jump after catra... again. and yes, i am lying. lotsa lies with lotsa love <3

-- promise just renewed - of course adora's gonna jump after catra. whether you think she did or didn't break the promise the first time doesn't matter, the point is, she's not breaking this one. decided, confirmed. --

adora's finally fully seen just how much their promise had meant to catra - and her heart's been ripped open the entire time she's been forced to fight her - since the moment she sees catra and hears that hello. her mind's gotta be flooding with so many damn emotions that had either been repressed or she'd simply been conditioned not to recognize or consider relevant enough to acknowledge - which i would imagine, especially w her past trauma, had her feeling an insane amount of mental distress, since so much of what she was feeling, she couldn't hope to really identify or even describe. so, she probably doesn't quite entirely understand or even realize it - but suddenly, she's fully feeling just how much their promise had always meant to her, too.

it definitely seems to be what's determining every damn decision adora makes, even before she's there on prime's ship. before she's even seen catra. that promise lit up blinding bright in her brain during that comm's call w catra- she couldn't ignore it. she "can't just leave her there." but really, she just didn't want to. if i was tryna explain it to adora herself in terms i thought might help her get it, it'd go somethin like -

"know it or not, this was a moment where what you care about, arm-wrestled what you're supposed to care about, and broke that bitch's wrist, ok"

alright now my patented sorta-silly/serious whiplash, sorry --

-- forcefully pitted against each other, after it being so long since the two of them last fought - and with catra now basically a puppet on a string, carelessly subjected to all kinds of injury and pain, and never showing even the slightest response to it on her face - everything she's seeing and experiencing gives adora a horrifying display of what prime had done to catra and how much she must have gone through for him to have been able to warp, flatten, and take control of her like that - and all because of something she chose to do for her. (which tbh could be phrased in a similar way to adora's "i can't just leave her there" with "i can't just let her come here")

yeah. it's like throughout it all, the promise once again became the everything to adora she'd forgotten it always was.

so of course she follows after catra into the shadows.

she can't and won't just leave catra alone in the dark.

Adora isn’t even her own character, she is just a end game object the creator uses to Make catra look badass or abuse to look hot and then get with Catra at the end, she is the main Title character yet she feels like a background character to catra, that’s unfair to her.

Adora deserves better!!!

being an adora fan that is also a spop anti is so damn hard cuz 99% of the fandom is literally just:

ship art ( mostly c // a )

victim blaming disguised as 'adora crit' or 'analysis'

"*adora does literally anything* she's thinking about catra!!!"

"*adora-posts about anything adora-related* she's lucky to have catra // catra is lucky to have her"

insulting adora for no reason

making abuse jokes about adora for no reason ( *still haunted by the 'property of catra' posts )

catra angst // redemption.

DO WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING OURSELVES HERE???

[alcarian-does]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

angry Adora

[ceoofsapphicangst]

I've been rewatching She-ra and I think there's more symbolism behind this version of catra than we thought.

One of Catra's design points is her heterochromia. She has one blue eye and one yellow eye. Adora just so happens to have blue eyes that are a similar shade. The blue eye represents Adora and Catra's connection to her. In this episode, Catra tells Adora that she would never go with her. The corruption of her blue eye symbolizes her truly trying to cut Adora out. Her outfit in season 4 had the one black long sleeve representing the corruption, showing how she's still trying to cut her out. In the episode where they go back to the crimson waist, when Catra hears that Adora is there, she sends Double Trouble after her instead of going after her herself. She's trying to move on. Obviously, her eye goes back to normal, but that's because Catra failed to truly cut her out and stop caring about her. In season 5, she helps Glimmer escape Prime to keep Adora away and out of danger, and in the finale (she also loses the long sleeve), she admits that she always loved Adora.
