#spop season 6

[tippenfunkaport]

As part of their strike agreement, Netflix has to release more transparent viewership data and here's how our girls did from Jan to June of 2023.

You can see their article about it here.

And the actual excel file is here if you want to download for yourself

And if you ever want to see how the last 30 days went, Parrot has you covered...

okay but ineffable husbands are kinda catradora coded ….

[aroacegod]

I need to rant so I’m doing it here (kinda long, She-ra spoilers)

She-ra could do so much with a season 6. There were so many things that needed to be worked out in the characters. Catra still had a lot of leftover trauma she never got to properly deal with, like her abandonment issues and the nightmares and flashes she gets because of Horde Prime’s mind control. She also never got to really apologize to Scorpia for everything that happened. It would have been nice to see them work through everything and become genuine friends. I just feel like her redemption arc was too short. Then there’s Adora’s “I have to fix this” mindset. She constantly felt like she had to sacrifice herself for the good of everyone else, and I feel like it was never properly worked through. Throughout the show, she felt like people always needed She-ra, but not Adora. And now that Etheria has been saved, she doesn’t have to be She-ra anymore. She might feel like she’s useless now that nobody “needs” her anymore. A 6th season could show us her trying to overcome her need to be useful to everyone else and realizing that she is deserving of love too.

Season 6 could also show us the Best Friend Squad bringing magic back to all the other planets, since that was mentioned in the very last episode. We could also get some lesbian fluff between Catra and Adora, which is always nice. It’d be great to see their relationship develop and help each other overcome their struggles. Maybe we could see them become friends with Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio again. Maybe some Glimmer and Bow stuff too. I’d also love to see Glimmer and her dad’s relationship grow. After thinking he was dead for so long, it would’ve be awesome to see them get to know each other and form a bond. I also think it’d be funny to watch him get used to living normally again—sleeping in a bed, not eating bugs—and just learning to be a dad. And then there’s Hordak. He defied Horde Prime and returned to Etheria with Entrapta. I’d like to see how he and Catra adjust to life in a world without a constant war against the princesses. It would take a long time for him to fully be accepted by everyone, especially the Princess Alliance. And he also wouldn’t be able to get over his prejudices against the princesses immediately. Sure, Entrapta was his friend, but he was trying for so long to crush the princesses that he might still have some kind of urge to do so. Maybe Entrapta could help him live among them and even find some hobbies to keep him busy. I also want to see more of Double Trouble and Wrong Hordak. They’re both such funny characters. And I just love DT; they’re just here to cause problems and I live for it. We could even see more of the Star siblings. They were interesting characters, and it would be cool to learn more about them.

Something that I’ve been wondering about was what the First Ones were really doing with the Heart of Etheria. Sure, they were using it as a weapon of mass destruction to destroy their enemies, but who were their enemies really? Horde Prime? Were there other enemies? And were there underlying motives for mining the planet’s magic? Who did they want to destroy? I just feel like there’s so much more to the story that we didn’t see. And according to Madame Razz, She-ra was on Etheria long before the First Ones got there. What was She-ra like before the sword was made to control her? Were there settlers of Etheria before the First Ones? If so, who were they? We also didn’t learn much (or anything) about Adora’s background. Since Adora is a First One, there must be some kind of First Ones colony on whatever planet she was from. What planet did she come from? Did Adora have a family before she was brought to Etheria? Are they still alive? Are they looking for her? And what about Queen Angella? She technically isn’t dead; she’s just trapped between dimensions, which means she’s alive and alone. I’m not saying we should bring her back; I’m just curious as to what she’s up to. Can she do anything, or is she just stuck floating between time and space? Regardless, there are so many things that could be covered in another season that would be so great to see. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’re ever getting one 😔

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk

[n7punk]

Adventures in unlicensed buffoonary! Recently this SPOP "Trivia book" got listed on Ebay, which was baffling to me both because I had never seen it before and because it was listed for two hundred fucking dollars

My gut instinct was "this isn't real" because again, I'm a freak who knows all these things, and yeah I can confirm this is bullshit.

Clayton Gallagher makes himself scarce online (probably to hide out from the lawyers), so I couldn't find any social media or a website for him - not to mention it's the name of a character from one of the Shameless shows to fuzz the radar - but he seems to exclusively create "trivia" and activity books based on random popular... things. Mostly shows (Trollhunters, the Amazing World of Gumball, etc) but also some... other things (Dolly Parton for some reason??).

He has created not one, but FOUR trvia books for She-ra, all using stolen/promotional art but that carefully never include any official endorsement or mention of Dreamworks, Netflix, Mattel, or Filmation. I'm highly convinced these things were written with AI, mostly due to things like the below excerpt from the first book's summary:

Like. Jesus christ. Maybe it's just a second language thing but the lack of spaces screams machine bullshit and we'll look at the insides later.

Okay so the first book came out on August 19th 2021 (another reason I lean towards AI) and features the debut season art. All the others came out on August 20th 2021 (literally a day later) and feature the season two art, stolen licensed book cover art (from Island of the Magical Creatures), and the season four teaser art (Rebellion variant).

I can only find these things available as e-books but apparently, supposedly, this one eBay seller has a rare physical paperback, which surely must make it worth 270$. I fully don't believe this is a real paperback unless it was self-printed. I think you either get a shitty slapped-together print out or a puff of smoke if you order this.

Now lets get into the stunning content. They all start with the cover art and then the same incredibly generic header

After about two seconds of investigation I see this is a pattern with all his trivia books across franchises. They all start like this and have identical copyright pages as well. Instead of taking four screenshots to show content is identical, just trust me from here on out everything is exactly the same across the She-ra books, including chapter headings, formatting, and trivia questions. These are just cover swaps.

The final chapters cut off here are "Chapter 6" and "See you later", neither of which has a page number. Again, this awkward phrasing is either written by AI or the author is ESL and I'm pretty 50/50 split on which. Let's get into the "trivia" and see if it solves it, shall we?

So. A couple things.

Yes, it DOES have a fill-in the blank for you to write your name even though this was clearly intended to be primarily, if not exclusively, an e-book. That's bold innovation!

They start off strong with a misspelling of quiz in the fucking header.

The formatting is godawful (point to AI for inconsistency, any human would see the obvious problems here as they work - or if they cared enough to glance at the output, which they clearly don't. Why is there a random A. out of nowhere?).

The trivia questions are awful (is She-ra an America streaming show? You think this counts as trivia that a kid - the obvious target demographic - wants to know? Second, I KNOW you're saying streaming because you're so scared of the word Netflix but somehow you're not worried about using the show logo and literally stealing the promotional art for the cover?).

The trivia answers are awful. Mama? Really? Maria is the only kind of good option because it's close to Mara to trip kids up or whatever, but also none of these are "other names" for She-ra! Adora and Mara are people who bear the title of She-ra, but you can't say "Genocide Joe" is another name for president, that's not how titles work! If you wanted to use this question, the answer would be "Princess of Power".

(Also lol at the answer key for question 2 now being wrong. Shit that might have been wrong at the time, when did Nate choose a new name? 2021? 2022? All those years blur together).

Okay I know you've all been on the edge of your seat about that last question cut off at the bottom of the page and yes, it is as factually wrong as you're expecting, and only gets worse as we settle firmly into the "AI" territory.

More lists because jesus christ.

Everyone knows Adora is She-ra. This is not a secret. The answer is every member of the Rebellion and most random citizens. 5 is equally stupid given yes, they never existin the same space at the same time, but people always watch Adora transform before their eyes. The grammar is also bad, but whatever, this does segue into the next questions.

Question six is when it becomes obvious what happened: the writer fed prompts into an AI without fact-checking anything and the AI gave back answers related both to the reboot and to the original. He-man canonically does not exist - he isn't just not mentioned for legal reasons, Mattel said he straight up could not exist or ever be hinted at (due to not existing) - in SPOP. 7 is once again completely untrue in the reboot. Adora came through a portal - not necessarily kidnapped, not from Eternia, and again, no Adam

Why is only Sunna's name in black for question 9. Mostly shocked they spelled her name right.

Things somehow manage to fall apart even more in the final remaining questions available in the Kindle preview sample!

Genuinely have no idea what the answer to 15 is supposed to be. "What is the original country of SPOP have?" isn't a sentence. All I can figure is you're supposed to pick America as it's the country of origin, but I don't trust this book to even have an answer key at the end, so who knows. All that said, Earth was canon in the original, so this might be (intended to be) related to the 80s series.

The Cure took me out.

Okay but Adora isn't leading the "Great" Rebellion!! She's definitely a major leader on the field, but the answer is Angella! There is no correct option here! If they said "the Princess Alliance" I would let that go because you could argue she is the leader of the Princesses, but the rebellion? No, that's the whole military and Angella/Glimmer lead that.

17. THE ANSWER IS ANGELLA. I fully do not believe you're supposed to pick false here, this is not a trick question, they're just wrong (see question above for evidence they're stupid)

They don't even call it the Great Rebellion in the reboot....

The sample ran out and I'm not paying money to feed this AI bullshit but I don't expect it to improve from here.

Anyway this was an interesting display of Bullshit and fuck AI generated books fr

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

i had seen the first post before and i didn't really feel like making a post about it, but that addition in the reblog makes me want to.

i don't ship zutara but i can see why people like it. it did have a lot of potential and after zuko's redemption arc, i don't think a relationship with katara would be toxic or abusive in any way.

the main reason for this is because their conflict was never personal. zuko and katara were enemies but neither of them knew much about each other, so there were no personal attacks. there were no jabs at each other's insecurities and for most part, they were on par with each other when fighting. katara was slightly stronger than zuko but she never used her strength to endlessly torture zuko and revel in his pain. he never did that to her either.

so yeah, an enemies to lovers arc would have been possible with zuko and katara because their conflict revolved around the fact that zuko was trying to capture aang. and after his redemption arc, he was able to form a good friendship with katara, which could have then turned into a romantic relationship. (it didn't but i'm not in the mood for kataang vs zutara discourse rn i'm not a big fan of either ship)

it's not my cup of tea but it is a healthy relationship with mutual respect.

that's not the case with c//a. you cannot compare it to zutara because catra's and adora's relationship was toxic even before they became enemies. catra had started exhibiting abusive traits from when she was around 5 or 6. and she never stopped it.

and catra's “redemption arc” doesn't do shit to save their relationship because she remains self-centered and toxic till the end. she keeps victim blaming and manipulating adora and they still get together somehow.

“toxic ppl just can't understand redemption arcs” ah, the uno reverse. i see you. calling people toxic for not liking your favourite ship is totally justified, i guess. also calling them sexist and lesbiphobes, that's nothing new in the spop fandom honestly. and calling catra's characterization in s5 a “redemption arc” is the biggest joke i've heard.

this person really saw zuko's redemption arc that stretched out in three seasons where he slowly sees the damage the fire nation did to the entire world and starts taking accountability for his actions and making amends, then saw catra literally making a last-minute decision to save glimmer and doing absolutely nothing else to change herself or reflect on her actions, continuing to abuse her partner/sister; and they thought “yep. these are the same.”

[spopsalt]

This was a longer post than I expected, spoilers for Bojack Horseman under the cut but for the TLDR: Bojack Horseman is a much better show than spop since it shows trauma realistically, has better humor, better story, know Bojack is a bad person and he gets called out on it.

On the last season of Bojack and it astonishes me on how much better it is when compared to spop, it's great on it's own and when compared to spop, it's a masterpiece! First of all, it actually shows trauma realistically! One example I would like to use is Penny, she was 17 and saw Bojack like a father figure of sorts, she lived with her family for months and trusted Bojack. Everything seemed fine until she propositioned Bojack, Bojack first does the responsible thing and shuts her down. But then he gets rejected by Charlotte, the girl's mother and Bojack's old friend. He doesn't tell her about what Penny tried to do for some reason, long story short they kiss but Charlotte rejects Bojack due to her having a family and Bojack trying to get her to run away with him. He was in a low place and saw Penny on the boat, she asked him again and he said "Go to bed Penny." it seemed like he rejected her again but we came to a horrifying realization. We hear stuff falling and then see Bojack lying down while Penny is undoing his bowtie. This is one of Bojack's lowest moments and it shows Penny's trauma. One example is when Bojack thought she looked fine, and she was, she healed from the trauma, then Bojack showed up again and all the old wounds opened up again. Another example is with Gina, one of Bojack's girlfriends whom he strangled. She is now traumatized whenever someone touches her neck due to that experience. Another one is Hollyhock, Bojack actually wasn't a shitty person here. His mother laced the coffee she drank with drugs and so she overdosed and got sent to the hospital. Later when she visits Bojack and sees medicine in his house she assumes he is trying to drug her, freaks out, and sends them to the trash disposal. I could go on and on but you get my point. We actually get time to see their trauma. Their trauma isn't just ignored or swept to the side for Bojack. And his trauma was shown realistically too! It's amazing how much better Bojack is compared to spop, I understand they are two very different shows, one being an adult cartoon with 6 seasons and another being a kid cartoon with 5 seasons. Now I will give spop some credit. It showed trauma accurately with Adora and Catra but everyone else's trauma gets ignored. That's why I'm so glad we have Bojack. It can be hard to watch at times but it shows it accurately and it is so important. Second of all, it knows Bojack is a bad person and people call him out on it. Many of Bojack's old friends, Diane, Princess Caroline, and Todd have called him out on his behavior. It also shows that abuse is no excuse for being a horrible person when Todd says "It's not your childhood or the shitty things that happen to you in your career it's you." This may seem small but with spop it tries to make everything Catra did okay because she had trauma when that's not the case. Third of all the humor. Now the humor is...ehhh it's ok. It's not the best thing in the world buttt I did laugh more times than I laughed while watching spop so that's good! Last of all. The story, now the story is really good, many of the bad things Bojack did in his past were brought up, and we see him multiple times try to improve himself but it seems like every time he takes one step foward he takes multiple steps back. This is very realistic to how it is. You can try and try but sometimes you end up spiraling by to where you were before. Bojack Horseman is really important and though it can be hard to watch at times, I'm glad it exists.

[jidblogger]

Possibly seems a bit suspect to me, but what can you do.

I know the original show bible ND made was pitched as 4 season show.

But to go to that Hordak redemption thing, I think that any Season 6 would probably just have Catra and Hordak take the next steps in the road to the good side by Hordak doing his atonement and maybe Catra learning to embrace even the random civilian as well as her friends.

Wish IDW comics or Dark Horse would just make some ding dang post Canon Comics.

Curious when was it said they thought they were gonna get a 6 season.

I thought this was a 4 season deal?

Heck Season 2 and 3 are really just one season split in 2 cuz Netflix is weird (Though not as weird and bad as they are now))

I forget where I heard it, just something passed around the fandom. We could be wrong.

[sometipsygnostalgic]

The first five episodes of spop are the only eps I have NEVER revisited in my three years of being a fan.

Actually I never rewatched Shadows of Mystacor either, but know that I imprinted that episode into my mind. It is a wonderful episode, it was probably the first ep that hit me emotionally. It also makes me sad because for all the support Glimmer offers Adora in this ep, she takes it back in season 4. So I haven't been able to rewatch this one because it hurts my feelings! Yayyy!!!

As for the others, well, I see lots of gifs of The Sword, but the events of Flowers for Perfuma, Razz, and The Sea Gate could be a fever dream. The only event I roll in my mind is when Catra scratches Adora's back in Sea Gate. It was a raw moment.

Episode 6 is the odd one out in this block because it's Entrapta's introductory episode so of course I've rewatched it a dozen times to grab screenshots and such for my various silly posts.

I do think that the show doesn't hit its stride until episode 7 onwards, because after Shadows of Mystacor, you get banger after banger until the end of Season 1. It's hilarious that the s1 finale Battle of Brightmoon is the worst episode in the second half of the season. It's not bad in any way, it just doesn't have the power of any of the episodes leading up to it.

[adorawasright]

i remember the fact that voltron (the reboot) had a very rushed schedule. people have pointed out that the release dates between the seasons were way too quick. the show lasted, like, two years and it had EIGHT seasons.

obviously, i don't think spop's case is that glaring. however, spop had a similar development (and it's telling that dreamworks also produced it). in fact, it lasted less than two years (november 2018 - may 2020) and it already had five seasons. some seasons, like 2 and 3, had less episodes than the other ones, which is also noted in voltron (s3-6).

i'm not entirely sure what was going on in dreamworks, but i think this aspect definitely soured the quality of both shows, especially the final seasons. again, voltron is remains the worst example out of the two, but spop was probably still negatively affected by this schedule.

i'm not saying that spop should have had absurdly long hiatuses like what happened to steven universe (which was not the crew's fault, but instead cartoon network ruined the pacing of the show with the "steven bombs"), but it could've had a more natural flow if the show was allowed to, like, breathe. like, even though the owl house, for instance, was sadly shortened, it still had more natural release dates.

like, it gives time for the fandoms to speculate what would happen in the next seasons AND for the animators and the crew overall to give us something better developed. spop definitely had a lot of potential, especially with s3 and s4, but i think this schedule probably explains why the show didn't do a very good job with the worldbuilding and most ideas. and although i haven't seen voltron (and i don't plan to bc it's too much of a mess for me), i can see why it dropped the ball, too.

again, these are just my speculations. idk what rlly happened behind the scenes. but these release dates... they probably have something to do with it.

spop saturday

spin our love ( at the merry-go-round) by @eviebebeevie - At age six Adora is scared of roller coasters. When Catra steps up to the plate and volunteers to ride with her the two girls quickly become best friends. This fic follows them throughout the years from age 6 to 21 at their favorite theme park from water rides to winter wonderlands. No matter the season they always end up back at the merry-go-round.

my friend, the eldritch horror by @utterimmolation - Three times Catra saw Adora possibly being an eldritch spawn and the one time everyone else did.

blonde in shining armor by @lisra-writes - Catra accompanies Scorpia to a ren fair!

pleasure and vanity by alex_the_manliest - Catra gate-crashed the party to find someone to take her mind off of uni life, preferably with some no-strings-attached sex. Adora seemed like the perfect choice. Tall, hot, and very good with her hands. Maybe too good. Were one-time flings supposed to leave her feeling like … well, this?

[catgirl-catboy]

Which ship you ship get sibling coded?

Mine wasnt get any sibling coded but they get "you are a bad friend" moment then never get developed further than that, im still pissed

Lunter from the owl house. It was ascended fanon since their first (well technically second but first major) episode together, but during the 1st episode of the latest season Luz's mother says "I can't belive I have six kids" jokingly referring to her daughter's friends... and canon girlfriend. You can't make this up if you tried. The only evidence of this HC in canon technically also refers to the fandoms main ship, but lets ignore that to bully the shippers.

Can I take a stab at it and guess your ship was Scorpia x Catra? Because YESS! I ship them and I felt like it was such a wasted opportunity to expand upon but all we got instead was Melog and the Glimmer forgiveness plotline.

Literally, if you swap Bow for Scorpia (and add some "I want to forgive her, but... I just can't yet!" to fit her nature) and Glimmer for Catra the episode could be improved so much. Honestly, SPOP suffers from not getting a season 6 because no way was everything in S5 meant to happen in one season.

If I guessed wrong that was a very random tangent, I am sorry.

8 Shows to get to know me!

Tagged by @someguywife 💕

1. What we do in the shadows

Obviously. This show is everything to me, i never had an hyperfixation that last this long, I paid for a tattoo of this show, Nandor is in my mind all the time, unironically helped me deal with some body problems I had and also embrace being weird and stupid, I love this show I love it's humor I love the drama I love being in the fandom I love it so so much

3. (that's so hard) Shera and the princess of power

So that's interesting because I HATE spop I HATE IT so fucking much. I used to love it until like the third season when I thought wow it looks like they'll handle the catra thing very badly also I hate how they treat Entrapta and then they did handle the Catra thing very badly and I hated it and then all the ableism and racism came up and I was like wow I was right and all the people that sent me hate mail when I started saying that it wasn't as good as they thought started saying well I never loved it that much and I was like hm I have the screenshots of you saying I was lesbophobuc and that I should kill myself you don't fool me anyways I like being right and it was really funny to see the circus getting burned.

Also I won a research prize because of a paper I wrote about the subtle ableism of the show and how Entrapta and Hordak ended up being punished by the narrative because of their disability (i would love to share this paper with you but I burned it with all the other works I did in film school after I quit it so oops)

4. (gods I don't know anymoreeee) Doctor Who

The show that teach me about fandom culture, the show that introduced me to tumblr, nothing more to say about it

5. Fairy tail

The first long series I watch also the first time I was like wow I spent years of my life loving this just for it to finish LIKE THAT WTF also the first time I unashamedly infodump about something with friends and learned that if people love you they listen to you and don't scream at you because you're being boring

6. Sonic X

Nothing to say about it but that my first self incert was a sonicsona and that I was deeply in love with Knuckles and Shadows

7. Zig and Sharko

One of the silliest funniest shows I have ever seen when I'm overwhelmed I put zig and sharko on Netflix and it makes me happy it's so funny

8. (this is so hard) seven little monsters

My favorite show when I was a kid I vividly remember an episode where the kids were afraid of the storm and mama said that we could count the time between the thunders to tell when the storm is going away and I honestly don't know if this is real but I do this until today

I'm not gonna tag anyone because I'm a little fag and I'm afraid of being annoying and I would rather die than tag someone who don't want to do it so feel free to tag yourself and say it was me I want to see it I'm curious

[korradoras]

TOP SHIPS OF ALL TIME:

this is in no order but it will be numbered for my sanity.

1. slexie - mark and lexie/greys anatomy

• i am so attached to this ship, i have never sobbed so hard an my life than when i first watched the season 8 finale/season 9 premiere of greys anatomy. i still rewatch only their seasons quite often.

2. catradora - catra and adora/SPOP

• ultimate comfort ship, i rewatch she ra whenever i am going through it. i first watched it when i was 15 and i still watch it for comfort. 15 is a nostalgic age for me, she ra reminds me of what it was like before anxiety. 😩

3. korrasami - korra and asami/LOK

• another comfort ship, comfort show, etc. lok and avatar are more shows i watched when i was 15, when the pandemic hit i was almost 16. i was locked up in my room, no school, no going out, no friends. i had a basement room with a couch and a huge tv, i spent MANY weeks watching netflix on that couch and the feeling was immaculate. i rewatch the atlau shows VERY often.

4. bellarke - bellamy and clarke/the 100

• once again another comfort show, i rewatch the 100 annually and have been watching it since season 4 came out. my dad started watching it, then my mom, then my sister. it became a show we watched all together, and i had a little ritual when it came to new seasons. i am an impatient person in some ways more than others, i do not have the patience to maintain interest when watching episodes weekly but i have no issue waiting for the whole season to be out. so every year as the episodes came out, i ignored them. when they all hit netflix, i would binge. however, for season 7 of the 100 i waited 2 years. i think i was procrastinating letting it end. bellarke was THE slowburn. i was so sure they would end up together, in a way im glad they didn't, but i loved them so much. i cannot describe the way that i feel when watching them and this show.

5. clexa - clarke and lexa/the 100

• GAY SLOWBURN. y'all i have so many fics i read consistently about clexa. i have like 3 on shuffle that i've read 10 times minimum. i cry like a bitch every time i rewatch s2-3 of the 100.

6. avatrice - ava and beatrice/warrior nun

• so i had heard a lot and seen a lot about this show before i actually watched it, which was actually in january of this year, several months after the 2nd (and final 🥲) season came out. i QUICKLY fell in love w both avatrice and ava/beatrice as individuals. i also read a lot of avatrice fics and cry thinking abt it being cancelled 😭

7. stydia - stiles and lydia/teen wolf

• BEST SLOWBURN OF ALL TIMEEE. it's weird to think teen wolf ended SIX years ago, this is another show i rewatch annually and what's funny is when i was 12 watching this show i did not care for stydia. i liked scott's relationships with allison and kira, never paid much attention to stiles and lydia until i was 16/17 and i rewatched and realized that they are AMAZING.

8. sameena - sam and deena/fear street

• MORE ANNUAL REWATCH SERIES. i LOVE LOVE LOVE these movies, and when i say sam and deena i am also including sarah and hannah. ex's/enemies to lovers in HORROR? forbidden love? sapphics? say less.

9. glaggie - glenn and maggie/twd

• so this was my first ship ever. started watching this when i was 11, i watched it over and over and over, i read the first 3 compendiums of the comics, then season 7 rolled around, i watched three first episode live then never watched another episode last season 6 again.

10. delena - damon and elena/tvd

• honestly they sort of give me the ick now but 12 year old me ATE that shit up, would also like to add they were my sexual awakening. i remember watching one of their spicy scenes and feeling a little funny 🥴

11. wayhaught - waverly and nicole/wynonna earp

• hottest ship ever. i fucking love them and i still need to watch the most reason season which is not that recent.

12. (honorable mention) camren - camila and lauren/5h

• camren gets only an honorable mention bc i don't ship them anymore, but they were MY gay awakening. when i was 13 i discovered fifth harmony and, naturally, i discovered ✨camren fanfiction✨ i literally did not know i was gay until i started reading fics about them. it just clicked when i felt more reading than i ever had for real life boys. :) anyways i don't support shipping real people anymore at my ripe age of 18.
