alright fam
sarah gave her approval with added description "it gives me a cucumber quest vibe"
so i'm gonna put on the first few eps of she-ra

I like the utter nonchalance in the way Catra greeted this alien witch saying "oh hey, Shadow Weaver" like most people would say "oh hey, Aunt Barb"
like just the complete normalcy of someone being named fucking Shadow Weaver

so far I like too how the evil army is a mix of aliens/creature peoples, like a cool dnd game, that's nice! there are neat bg characters and it makes Catra's design mesh p well

IM ALREADY PRE-SAD ABOUT THIS INEVITABLE BREAKUP
HEY
LIKE
THEY'RE IN LOVE?????????????? THIS IS GOING TO HURT REALLY BAD

……………………………wait is Bright Moon just
on the other side of the woods
and not
one of the
moons
????????????

dark she-ra show me a map of where the heck the Fright Zone is supposed to be on this planet, unless the Fright Zone is MOST of this planet??????

glimmer and bow are Very good and I do love Winged Allura

ummmmmmm Catra Does Not Deserve Any of This and Should Be Protected At Once

okay almost done with ep 2 and so far i'm having fun but i literally have to stop myself from thinking too hard at times bc uh I Have No Fucking Idea How This World Works At All

I like that we started in media res but I, a 25-yo woman, have 0 She-Ra experience like the other 7-yos watching this, and I really, really could've used even a 30-second little "on the planet Etheria…" opening spiel

GOD ALMIGHTY THAT FUCKING CLOSE UP ON CATRA'S BROKEN FACE IN THE SMOKE WAS FUCKING B R U T A L

"everyone here is a princess but me" OKAY HOW MANY PRINCESSES ARE THERE???????? ARE PRINCESSES LIKE WIZARDS???? ARE THEY A SPECIES??????? THE HORDE WAS PREPPING TO FIGHT WHOLE ARMIES OF THEM SO IM NOT SURE IF THAT LINE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HYPERBOLE OR NOT

oh shit so is this sword basically a physical Avatar State tool???
Adora being a horse girl is also hashtag beautiful

every time Catra is sad I get an actual, physical pain in my chest, hmm

literally Catra shredding the bed with tears in her eyes bc she doesn't know how else to express her feelings of utter helplessness uhhhhhh fucking Hurt, Todd

OH NOW THE QUEEN IS UH TAKING IN THIS ORPHAN CHILD WHO TURNED ON THE FORCE THAT KILLED HER HUSBAND, OH. OH MAN.

f u ck i understand all the jokes now about the fucking pet??? toddler???? son?!?!?!? of Hordak. also I keep wanting to shorten "Lord Hordak" to "Lordak" like "thanks, ants. thants."

this is a COOL shot. bring back villains introduced only in silhouette for maximum child scariness campaign 2018

OH SHIT THERE'S AN INTRO SONG NOW!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT KYLE IS INCLUDED IN THE VILLAIN SQUAD KJHDKJFGKHDJ

Winged Allura just uh, spending her nights quietly grieving……for years……………jesus christ noelle

Adora Canonically Can't Sleep In A Bed Alone Because For Years She Shared With Catra Moodboard

listen i'm a trained art historian and i'm here to tell you this mural symbolizes that the queen topped

Catra: reflexively goes towards Shadow Weaver to help/comfort her when she's in pain bc even though Shadow Weaver has abused her forever, she's still the only parental-ish figure Catra knows
me:

good small animation things:
- im loving that every bg is undertinted with pink and Fright Zone with green
- all the capes in Bright Moon on the guards and on Glimmer are shaped like wings (DOES GLIMMER GET WINGS AT SOME POINT?? PLS…)
- the MOST variety in body shapes

straight up I spotted a pregnant woman in the bg of ep 4 and was like!?!??!?! I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN JUST, A CASUAL CARTOON PREGNANT WOMAN, JUST CHILLIN, DIDN'T NEED TO BE PART OF THE PLOT BC PEOPLE…GET PREGNANT…AND JUST LIVE THEIR LIVES

……………………………shadow weaver hasn't told hordak that adora is definitely a 10000% magical super baby and the prophesied she-ra that she raised to hopefully make evil for their own uses, has she

[cue Good Omens theme music]

Perfuma: didn't the first alliance results in thousands of deaths
Glimmer: listen, that's my mom's problem, WE'RE gayer and stronger than ever

Catra: still tries to protect Adora from Shadow Weaver ("I'll bring her back!") bc even tho Adora left her she still would rather put herself in the line of fire than see Adora hurt by their abuser
me:

im gonna watch one more ep--
"it's the sea hawk ep"
--i'm gonna watch one more ep and be absolutely bullied to death by it

question: how come there's not yet been a "your momjesty" joke

IM FUCKING LAUGHING AT THIS LINE DFKJHGDKJGHD

okay
listen
as someone who literally, unironically goes to a sea shanty event once a month and has sang at said event
this episode is bLATANT bullying

this is the best sequence in the show yet

Glimmer's va was SO peak teen yelling "I NEED THIS MISSION TO GO RIGHT OR MY MOM WILL NEVER GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE!!!!!" 10/10 teen woes

hmm

"try being the daughter of an immortal queen--"
uuuhhhhh ho-ho-holllllld the PHONE, GLIMMER, YOUR MOM IS IMMORTAL AS IN SHE CAN'T DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES AND DOESN'T AGE?? OR IMMORTAL AS IN SHE CAN'T DIE, EVER, BC JESUS CHRIST THAT MAKES YOUR DAD'S EARLY DEATH /////EVEN SADDER/////

are ALL the princesses/royals supposed to be immortal???? again, what flavor of immortal???????? IS QUEEN ANGELLA ACTUALLY ONE OF THE FIRST ONES?????????????? GO THE FUCK BACK TO THIS POINT I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS--

Okay day 2 let’s get to episode 6 as I weave in one billion ends on this project

So....if Entrapta’s power isn’t electricity or something and the robots are new, is her actual power supposed to be Rapunzel tentacle hair and she’s just doing this for fun, cause if so: GOOD

Oh so the magic chip makes she-ra evil hmmmm hmmmMMMMM IM SURE THIS WILL NEVER BE IMPORTANT OR DEVASTATING LATER IN TIME L O L

“It’s a date!” PUNCHES A WALL AND YELLS HOW IS EVERY GIRL/GIRL SHIP GOOD

U m Bow k I s s e d ????? Her h a ir??????!?! B oy

“We destroyed the disc so it will never happen again!” I look directly into the camera and whisper “we’re boned”

Yo I LOVE Shadow Wesver’s va, she’s scary af

GLIMMER USED TO HAVE LONG HAIR!!?!?!!

Oh So This Is The Extended Bright Moon Family Issues Episode Isn’t It

Oh Boy Casta and Angella Have Some Fucking Blame Issues Dont They

Using an illusion of Catra to bait her mmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMM IM IN PAIN

Hey when Catra inevitably battles Shadow Weaver I’m uh ready to be destroyed

PRINCESS SCORPIA!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE HER POWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scorpia: I never really fit in with other princesses—
Catra: I’d die for you
Scorpia: what?
Catra: I SAID ID GO IF I WERE YOU

Oh bitch you KNOW I am pausing this relationship chart to memorize WHO THE STAR TWINS ARE, ALSO APPLE PRINCESS, TREE PRINCESS, FOSSIL PRINCESS, WHAT I THINK IS A SQUID?? PRINCESS

I WANT!!!!!! BUMBLEBEE PRINCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PERFUMA/BOW IS GOOD ACTUALLY!!!!! BOW IS SUCH A LADYKILLER

so like
this small child empress who is definitely ruling her largest kingdom totally alone and probably has been for years
is
my
daughter
now

"feelings seem to be getting hurt" ENTRAPTA I FUCKING SNORTED

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

this is Sea Hawk and he DROVE ME HERE

i can't believe she-ra is destined to end at fucking Mermista and Sea Hawk's 5th wedding and i'm gonna have to watch all these cute friends dance as Adora and Catra Korra+Asami style hold hands on the balcony

“You look at me and see a child, but I have worked hard to earn respect”
hmm so like I’m gonna be the one to write the 100k Princess Frosta Raises Herself Backstory aren’t i

me: this show is for kids
also me: okay time to concoct the elaborate fake bloodline that led to Frosta, the only viable heir, being crowned at like age 2 and probably ousting her court of nobles seeking to control the regency by the time she was 8–

ARE YOU /////KIDDING ME/////

This is literally a scene from Pride and Prejudice I’m like unable to function

Hey everything Frosta does and how she must have taught herself to use her powers uh Slays Me

ARE
YOU
KIDDING
ME

fellas is it gay to just full on freeze and stare deep into another girl's eyes with your lips slightly parted, breathing heavily, as you're locked in mortal combat on the edge of a cliff

That horse is gonna come back at the best possible moment like the shooting star broom in Little Witch Academia and I’m SO excited for it

so

oh my fucking god Mermista's that friend who just brings her bf to everything bc they're already hanging out when you texted and he's got nowhere better to be

if the king WAS just like, a human sorcerer representing Mystacor too w/ no titles OR the younger prince brother of Casta, the queen uhm ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW HE HAD TO BE THE SLICKEST MOFO EVER TO MARRY AN ACTUAL LITERAL ANGEL

Micah Romanced the Pants Off This 5k YO Winged Empress and That's Not Even What His Magical Power Was

wait im so stupid, ignore my post earlier about how the mural proved the queen topped, OF COURSE the queen topped bc of the physical difficulties of boning when you've got really massive wings, we never needed PROOF in art margaret you fucking fool

UM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS GAY FOR BOW

me, crying: that's my WIFE

Sea hawk just fucking rolled a nat 20 deception and Scorpia crit failed insight I’m gonna djjdhsbdhdhdb

Oh
Glimmer’s utter horror as she realizes that yeah, her mom WILL come for her no matter the cost
is uh
a lot

SEA HAWK CRIT FAILED SEDUCTION

I love that Mermista is just casually strong enough to hold her buff husband and he's just happy to be here. Sea Hawk confirmed the little spoon

o h

Yo this episode is the best-paced one yet, like 20000% improvement

Same with their animation, like the framing and action is soooo much more dynamic

i
have singled out the one image thousands of lesbians will later quote completely changed their childhoods

I am Convinced now that Glimmer isn't fully immortal (in whatever way her mom is) and Angella has never had another child for the exact reason that she is thinking, at all times, about how Glimmer is going to die, but that it'll be early and like her husband all over again

im fuCking dying at Entrapta just foiling all Catra's very srs intimidation tactics skfjghdkfj

Harold…

Entrapta: thinks she's been left behind on purpose when everyone is literally grieving her
me:

it's fine, i gotta focus not on the sad present but on the bright future bc if the princess ball happens every 10 years this just means Scorpia and Entrapta will be dating at the next one

UM I LOVE THAT ENTRAPTA IS PRETTY MUCH PLAYING CATRA TOO AND IS PROBABLY GOING TO TURN BOTH HER AND SCORPIA SOFT WITH HER PRESENCE ALONE

i love one royal bitch

oh cool cool cool i'm crying again

her whole life catra has feared shadow weaver but loved her, been unable to stop loving her and craving her approval, knowing she'd never ever get it but wanting it all the same

i'm literally already emotional about catra's eventual zuko arc and breakout from her years and years and years of being told she's not enough and realizing that she doesn't have to one-up shadow weaver, she doesn't have to BE shadow weaver

okay Bright Moon, you're really sexy but I'm still mad that you're not actually on a moon

SHE GOT
OH
SHIT
SHE ORDERED THE
OH MY G O D

absolutely bawling about the bright moon royal women on main

h a rold………………

FINALLY
IN THE YEAR 2018
I FINALLY GET A CANON LESBIAN SCENE THAT HAS THE SAME ENERGY AS THIS JODHAA AKBAR MOMENT

they are literally WALKING HAND-IN-HAND DOWN A RAINBOW MEMORY LANE HEY!!!!!!!! WHO ALLOWED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO SAID THIS WAS OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i keep screenshotting basically every frame bc i cant believe these are actual real moments happening in a real tv show im seeing with my two eyes

hm. sure is great to just fucking sob about Catra having no healthy outlets other than rage and feeling like her entire life she's been forcibly measured up to Adora and always found lacking

oh boy i am C R Y I N G like. really crying a lot.

IM STILL CRYING HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIKE
WATCH MORE

Madame Director aesthetic

im gonna piss myself laghuing

AS PART OF ADORA'S HERD
ADORA'S HERD
A D O R A ' S H E R D

hey uh quick question: how tall is Angella?
cause she's like
at the same proportion to Glimmer that She-Ra is to Glimmer
which means on her own, no magic sword, Angella Could Be 8 Ft Tall

im literally gonna die alughing

DRAG HER, ENTRAPTA

so……………

FINALLY SOME LORE!!!!!! oh shit i look forward to this avatar state flashback later

Angella: Does That
me:

OH
OH ADORA THINKS
SHE THINKS /SHE/ MADE CATRA BAD
SHE THINKS SHE WASN'T ENOUGH FOR CATRA
SHE LITERALLY LOVES CATRA SO MUCH SHE THINKS /SHE/ IS THE ONE WHO COULDN'T SAVE HER FROM HERSELF
O H

micah confirmed an absolute beast in the sheets

CASUAL THEORY: based on Mara looking clearly older than Adora even in She-Ra form…what if……the longer you're She-Ra the less you transform. you just. grow Into that

WHEN MY FUCKING WIFE MERMISTA RODE THE FUCK IN LIKE THE DRAMATIC WATERBENDING BITCH THAT SHE IS BOY I Y E L L E D

oh yeah also im crying

aint that just the show

WELL LADS
I FINISHED THE WHOLE SHE-RA
JEEZY CHREEZY
