ADORA DAY SKETCHES

from one of those 'draw your otp' memes on twitter (but I'm too lazy to color)

[tippenfunkaport]

They're watchin' spooky stuff.

Glimmer: Ohhh, yeah yeah sure. That's tooootally a ghost and not the heat signature from your sound guy. Bow: I bet they could script the thermo sensor to only register new readings so it wouldn't keep picking up their crew.  Glimmer: Set that up in your office so Catra stops sneaking in to scare the crap out of you. Bow: Nah, that takes all the challenge out of it.

catra’s fashion style in the real world

A metal and punk-y twist on femme fatale

It’s rebellious and risqué, edgy and sharp with a touch of femininity, definitely non-conformist.

She prefers figure-hugging and skin-tight silhouettes, like a gymnasts, or a tiger. Oversized clothes make her feel small, like a child playing dress up.

Evert must outfit include fur (a homage to her etherian species) or leather. Either as jackets, sleeve or hem trims, or shoes. Black florals. She’d like animal feline print like leopard and cheetah, if it weren’t for the dead animals.

Her centric colors are either deep reds, deep purples or deep pinks. With black or brown as complimentary. She hates white and gold (until adora).

Almost all her clothes are ripped/torn, mostly intentionally. she liked cutouts too, but not too many, just a flair.

All her tops are either sleeveless or strapless or backless or with a low cut neckline.

she prefers low rise pants instead of high waisted. Not skinny jeans but also not baggy, a secret third thing (bell bottoms). She draws or sews patches on the knees or ankles.

She prefers shorts almost always, anyway.

She’s picky when it comes to skirts, she doesn’t like poofy or restrictive ones, she likes something that allows for mobility, where she can also add her own touch to it. Either leather or pleated skirts.

She doesn’t wear shoes until she absolutely have too, which usually means formal settings, so heels. But not something too high. Pointy toe shoes. Thigh-high boots. She adores stockings though.

Angel bites/fang piercings are non negotiable.

Nails are always long and sharp and red-black.

Playsuits, she owns too many, for when she wants to doll up but doesn’t want to wear a suit or a dress.

Matched sets. Top and skirts or top and pants. 

She prefers suits when it comes to her formal look, she still adds her own flare and touch to it, unbuttoned buttons and untied ties, cutouts at the blazer, ripped pants or replacing with shorts, absolute creative freedom when it comes to the undershirt (from bralette to cropped button up to vests to nothing). She doesn’t usually prefer dresses, but when she does she prefers ones that are sleek and tailored towards her body, ones that make her look mature.

Significant accessories: spikes and studs, fingerless gloves, fishnets, metal chains, lace holes, buckles.

SPOP Flex Big Bang 2024 - Letter of the Law

ART BY AMITYSRAGE - Discord In conjunction with Jezmatron for SPOP BIG BANG 2024 letter of the law: https://archiveofourown.org/works/55938145/chapters/142048963

Catra and Adora were meant to rule the world... metaphorically speaking. Same law school to get out of the sticks, same firm to qualify in to, same focus on getting up the ladder to Partner.

But Adora lost the dream and did the unthinkable. Now she's working for a small firm going up against a big hitter over a new development. And who is across the table?

Her former best friend.

How will things go as the once-friends find themselves on opposite sides of the courtroom? And what will winning feel like?

What price to get the final word in?

With art by AmitysRage from discord!

WiP Wednesday - Magical Trucker Glimmer AU (I guess???)

Glimmer rolled her eyes. “She will be in about five minutes according to her. Magic allergy.”

“I’m NOT all-HERMP!” Catra ducked her head back down into the bag as she finally threw up. “Gods damn it.”

“Oh wow, Entrapta would love to study this.” The absolute unit of woman said, nodding and smiling as if her friend wasn’t vomiting in public right now. “Aw, thanks for bringing her here! Really means a lot!! What do I owe you?”

Glimmer winced as Catra moaned pitifully. “You know what? This one is on the house. Hope the engagement goes well!”

“Ha! Yeah! Me too!” 

With that Glimmer turned and walked to the counter to see if there were any jobs she could take just to escape this and she had never been more grateful to transport a whole ass vehicle in her life. The complications of all the little parts that rattled around on the inside was a very, very welcome distraction from weird cat women and their magical allergies from hell. Also it got her away from the sick, major bonus.

Catradora Baseball AU

Modern AU where women’s Major League Baseball actually exists and is popular! Catra and Adora grew up playing on the same little league team – Catra’s foster mom was obsessed with the idea of the kids she took in becoming professional athletes – but went their separate ways when Adora’s parents died, and her older sister Mara moved them out of town.

10 years later, Adora has been drafted by the Brightmoon Mets and is due to start playing for their Triple-A team, the Moonstone Mets as First Basewoman/Designated Hitter. Her first game is a home game against the Black Garnet Giants (their division rivals), and there is buzz among the crowd and the players because the Giants have a new star pitcher fresh up from Double-A. When Adora steps up to the plate, she is beyond shocked to see her former teammate Catra Alvarez atop the pitcher’s mound.

The story follows the two women’s interactions as new rivals throughout the first half of the regular season as they vie for promotion to the majors, complete with confrontations, hit-by-pitches, injury scares and eventual reconciliation, all leading up to the trade deadline where Adora is called up to Brightmoon’s major league roster, and Catra is traded to the Moonstone Mets with the promise that she’ll be given a shot to pitch in the majors in the next season.

The Teams

Here's where things get nerdy and granular. If you couldn't tell by my choice of team names, I'm a big New York Mets fan, so I've used the players on that team as a bit of a guide for which character types should be playing which position. I'll explain:

The Moonstone Mets

Adora (1st Base/Designated Hitter)

I've essentially based Adora's baseball profile on Pete Alonso, the 1st baseman of the NY Mets. The vibes are Blonde Power Hitter, hyper serious on the field, labrador off the field. Adora reads to me as the type of player who would rise to stardom quickly by hitting a lot of big home runs, but could just as easily fall apart if she gets in her head.

Glimmer (Catcher)

Glimmer is kind of a mix between Kevin Costner's character from Bull Durham (snarky, but secretly kinda wise leader type) and Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (life of the party vibes). Also catchers tend to be on the shorter side.

Mermista (Short Stop)

Short stop is just a really technically demanding role that requires all sorts of different skill sets. Mermista reads as hyper-competent, but super nonchalant about it.

Frosta (2nd Base)

Also a position more suited to shorter players, but I mainly put Frosta here because she has Jeff McNeil vibes, i.e. angry as hell when things aren't going her way, and extatic when they are.

Perfuma (Starting Pitcher)

Pitchers are often tall and lanky, but more than anything else, good pitching often boils down to an ability to stay out of your own head and not let the pressure get to you. I thought of Yusei Kikuchi as inspiration for perfuma - the man has talked about sleeping and reading an absolutely ungodly amount for a working athlete - a truly zen pitcher would be dangerous.

Netossa (Designated Hitter/1st Base)

For Netossa I thought of J.D. Martinez, an older, more experienced player who essentially doubles as part of the coaching staff.

Spinnerella (3rd Base)

Honestly, I just needed somone recogniseable to play at 3rd... no shade to Spinny.

Juliet (Centre Field)

Starla (Right Field)

Tallstar (Left Field)

Bow (Batting Coach)

Seeing as this is women's baseball, Bow couldn't be a player, but I do really like the idea of him in a teaching role. Bow has a level head and technical expertise, so having him giving Adora technical (and, let's be real, emotional) guidance made a lotta sense to me.

Micah (Manager)

Can't have a SPOP modern AU without a bit of Brightmoon family nepotism.

Angella (Brightmoon Mets General Manager)

The Black Garnet Giants

Catra (Starting Pitcher)

Obviously Catra is a volatile character, and totally the opposite of how I described Perfuma as a pitcher, but she reads to me as someone with insane technical ability who could be let down by a tendancy to lose control. Unbeatable when she's in the zone, and calamitous when she isn't.

Lonnie (Catcher)

I liked the idea of having someone at catcher who can work well with Catra, but wouldn't be afraid to give her shit when she isn't in the zone, hence Lonnie.

Scorpia (Designated Hitter)

Scorpia seems the type to be able to hit hard and often, but is clumsy enough that she might have trouble with defence. No fielding for Scorpia.

Octavia (Short Stop)

Huntara (1st Base)

Huntara makes sense at first base in the same way Adora does to me - someone who can hit well, and stay steady on their feet to catch out a runner.

Emily (2nd Base - okay, I was reaching with this one)

Flutterina (Centre Field - ... this one too)

DT (Pitching Coach)

Obviously I wanted DT in a position where they can mess with Catra's head. It's what they're best at!

Hordak (Manager)

Prime (Garnet City Giants General Manager)

Clearly this prompt is heavily inspired by A League of Their Own, one of the all-time great sports movies. But, I like the idea of making it more career/goal driven, and having Adora and Catra be on opposing teams from the get go. Having them end up playing for the same franchise after making eachother better by playing against eachother, and growing closer in the process, feels like a particularly satisfying end point.

Chapter 5

"Adora sighs and rubs her cheek against her stomach fur and then just drapes over her lower body. She knows it's weird but Catra's fur was always comforting and there's just enough on her stomach to nuzzle in and calm her racing heart..."

Read the fic here

[tippenfunkaport]

For the @glimbowweek prompt: Domestic

This is Earth!Glimbow how they look to me in The Other Me, after the events of the fic. They've had a long day pitching their new company to investors and really need to sleep because they are both dead on their feet. But Bow insisted on doing the dishes first so Glimmer is "helping."

Turning off the shadows for a second so you can all fully appreciate Bow's hair which I am slightly proud of..

[taracandycorn]

Work has been super stressful lately… and that reminded me off the stressful Job Catra has in @momofchimeras ‘s wonderful fic. So have some fanart.
