I'd bet it was a direct order from Catra!
ok scorpia's excuse for making a mess of the files in s2e3 is that she has inconvenient limbs for handling documents, but here?! here she's just tossing them behind her on purpose!!! was respecting shadow weaver's files not covered in force captain orientation?!?!?
I LOVE being autistic and trying to communicate because every time it’s
It pissed me off so much because it revealed that even the utilitarian moral view Kyubey espoused was bullshit. Not only was he lying when he said humanity would eventually get to take part in the galactic community that benefitted from this power extraction, or at least it didn't matter whether that was true, but it also showed that he didn't care about having a permanent solution to entropy. No matter how much energy he got, if there was a "quota" you could be satisfied with meeting even if it destroyed your means of production, then you were never concerned with a truly perpetual solution, and the only reason to even be bothered by entropy in the first place is if you want something to last for literal eternity!
That alternate timeline where Madoka becomes a witch and Kyubey goes “Looks like she’s gonna destroy the entire planet… oh well that’s not my problem” is both hilarious and chilling to me
SPOP Appreciation Week 2025
This upcoming May will mark the 5 year anniversary of the finale of Dreamworks' She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. To celebrate, we're hosting a Big Bang with lots of fics and art, but we wanted everyone to be able to participate in some form.
Introducing SPOP Appreciation Week, a week of prompts to help us celebrate our fav and show the cast, crew and fandom itself there's still a lot of love for these characters out there.
SPOP Appreciation Week 2025 Prompts List
Remember / Memory
Past, Present and Future
A Beautiful Wish
You aren't alone.
Imperfection Is Beautiful
Heart
We're Going to Win in the End
How to participate
What can we make? Anything! Text posts, edits, show meta, fanart, fanfic, or even love letters to the show, cast, crew, or fandom itself. The main point of this event is to celebrate the show and get more posts out there overall, so think outside the box.
Where do we share? Everywhere! Anywhere! AO3, Tumblr, Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, etc wherever there's SPOP fandom.
Prompts can be interpreted anyway you like or ignored entirely if you want to do your own thing. Go out of order if that's what the muse wants, the point is just to make stuff and celebrate the show!
When you make your post, no matter what platform you're sharing it on, tag it #weloveSPOP2018 along with all the usual SPOP fandom, ship or character tags. Why this tag specifically? So if we do happen to trend anywhere, we ensure that Crew-Ra / Mattel / Netflix / Dreamworks et al understands which version of She-Ra we are celebrating.
We'll be reblogging our favorite SPOP Celebration posts on our sister blog, SPOPBang to keep them separate from the Big Bang posts so you don't have to tag us so long as you're using the #weloveSPOP2018 tag.
Remember: you don't need to make something long or complicated to participate! Whether it's silly memes, heartfelt posts about what the show means to you, fanworks inspired by the prompts, or using the prompts as a jumping off point to talk about your favorite scenes or character, we'd love whatever you have to share.
And if you have multiple things you want to post for each day, by all means, please do! The more, the better!
In addition to new content, we'd encourage you to reblog/retweet/re…bluesky older SPOP content during the celebration week to add to the nostalgia.
Tip: If you've got an idea for a post now, schedule it to post in advance so you don't forget! Tumblr and Twitter (well, on desktop anyway) let you schedule posts in advance natively. The app Buffer even has a free plan that will let you schedule posts on places like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Bluesky.
Here are the prompts with some suggestions of how you could interpret each…

People who don’t ship madohomu actually really confuse me ,like I feel it’s so obvious and once you find out what homura’s wish was it just feels painfully obvious . But hey people have their own opinions and I can’t change that even though I wish I could.
This made me laugh so hard I must reblog
Chaggie Religious Trauma Poll
I love Chaggie. Some people find they're relationship boring or plain. They say they don't feel anything at all from Chaggie. They're not boring at all to me! To me they're very spicy and exciting. But me, personally, I have some religious trauma, and I know that's coloring the way I see Chaggie. I have a hypothesis. I think maybe Chaggie matches the fantasies of a lot of people with religious trauma, but doesn't speak to people without religious trauma at all, so they can't enjoy it. Let's see if there's a correlation. Don't hate me if I'm dead wrong! I'm making the poll because I'm uncertain.
I was paying so little attention to Tumblr that I missed a whole-ass "Chaggie Week"? smh I'm a loser.
These wedding ones are the best!

Oh damn. I feel like there was a reason I looked up Conquest rule 63... but I don't remember it now.
"I want you to resist"
Conquest
I can like dozens of She-Ra fanarts in a day but rarely reblog. But this one just hits right. They look so unified. And those cocky smirks. And Adora's suit. They look like a crime family. They look so ready to outperform you on the dance floor or beat the shit out of you. And I love calling them the Meowmeow family!
The Meowmeow family
catradora and the perfect victim complex
(i literally fucking think about this all the time so this just gonna be a rant lol)
i really, truly think that people in general don’t put the effort into understanding characters who are imperfect victims. for them, it destroys the appeal of victimhood. victimhood (especially when the victims in question are girls, women, femme presenting people, etc.) needs to be beautiful and tragic. think characters like ophelia, snow white, odette, juliet, the lisbon sisters. otherwise, their victimhood is no longer attractive.
catra is an imperfect victim. shadow weaver’s abuse did not make her soft, weak, timid, or fragile. it made her bitter, angry, and resentful.
i once saw a catra anti saying some bullshit about how they might’ve liked catra more if the writers had spent more screen time showing shadow weaver abusing her, specifically her when she was a kid.
this person wanted to see catra’s pain as beautiful. they wanted to see her ONLY as a child to be pitied, the little kid who cowered in fear instead of fighting back, and not have to acknowledge catra’s more complicated character traits.
i also think this is why these same people often talk like they love adora, like “adora deserves better than catra” and all that shit. adora (to them) is easier to see as a perfect victim. shadow weaver’s abuse made her obedient and self-sacrificing. it made her put others before herself, even to the point of fucking death. adora is selfless and brave. she’s so determined to be a perfect hero, to protect people, to care for people, to love people. these traits are easier to romanticize. it makes her seem beautiful.
if you ask me, this is a really fucked up way of viewing adora. i don’t love adora bc she’s a “perfect victim”, i love adora bc she, like catra, is also flawed. adora’s determination to be perfect leads her to abandoning catra. her inability to empathize with catra leads her to behaving the way she did in taking control. adora isn’t fucking perfect.
(for context i do also think that catra was in the wrong in that episode too, but i feel like we don’t talk enough about how badly adora was handling the situation. like seriously girl catra is here basically telling her “i don’t trust you bc i don’t believe that you could ever love me bc i’m inherently fucked up and unlovable” and adora’s immediate reaction is to blow up at her. it makes sense given what adora has just done for her, but it’s another example of adora being incapable of empathizing with catra. also calling her a stubborn brat? yeah uh that wasn’t funny adora, especially not with the ways that shadow weaver talked about catra.)
but i love that adora is flawed, and i love that catra is flawed. they’re not archetypes. no real person experiences abuse like they did and comes out perfect. catra’s intense fear of abandonment and resentment issues are a very fucking real response to the way she was traumatized. regardless of how ugly it is.
at the end of the day, i think that people can’t wrap their brains around this concept and refuse to empathize with imperfect victims bc they don’t want to admit that they, too, are imperfect victims. the perfect victim isn’t real. it’s a fucking myth.
in real life, people are messy and complicated, like catra and adora. it’s why i love them :)
ugh i could literally go on about this FOREVER i swear.
If the devil is in your path Keep going For you are on the path of righteousness
If god is in your path Keep going Cause it'd be really impressive if you won
Wow, I've never seen Akemi Homura smile like that before.
hi. i think this is simultaneously sayonika and monisuki and i do not take criticism /silly
You've heard it before
And you might not like hearing it again
But this is what the ideal relationship looks like.
the line says something about "prime's unyielding grip"
in the "don't go" fanfic
and honestly -
very symbolic to me as a lesbian raised in a mormon household.
i wonder sometimes if it's intentional; but either way, the metaphor for me is prime as some sorta deity -
and the unyielding grip? just feeling like that.
exactly like that.
and omg this - defiance of the kinda religious rhetoric meant to put a pin in people and be who they are only within the parameters of who they are allowed to be -
"you made me in your image, but i am more than that"
quite possibly the most intensive rejection of that rhetoric in the entire show and it's delivered by hordak! wth! like that's why i made that post about catra calling hordak by his name when she's tryna rescue glimmer - it got a bit slammed but dude c'mon - tell me that doesn't make sense
loss of identity, loss of self and even just being able to sense your own feelings -
that's clones. that's chipped. that's strict & abrasive censorship. & i'm genuinely sorry if i offend anyone - but that's bull shit.
the rainbows. the love. the glittery bits in the air just cause magic.
that's - well, that's magic.
cause that's what love is. and to me sometimes i think that's all the show's main msg really is.
and it's being screamed from the rooftops.
love is magic dude. powerful magic. y'all know that tho, i'm preaching to the choir here haha.
but even hordak and entrapta deserve it, honestly. dude is so moved by how much he cares for her he'd rather try and toss horde prime off the same platform hp made catra fall off of.
hell. yeah.
& entrapta spent almost a full season on beast island dude like - adora doesn't push him away after she legit murks hp's weird unsettling singularity-type consciousness out of existence - she doesn't try and reprimand him or get angry. she smiles at him and lifts him up. that's it.
cause just like everyone else in the damn galaxy, he's finally free. and that's all she ever wanted for anyone, on etheria or otherwise.
<3
Saw people talking about this on Twitter, apparently the new promo art for the Art of Amphibia book has a little message reading "A Strange Voyage is Coming" 👀 graphic novel WHEN
I'm sure there are already many notes about this, but given this post starts out being about how the term "everypony" is exclusionary, I kinda can't believe that the version I'm seeing reblogged doesn't mention that they DO eventually change to saying "everycreature", so they do realize tis racist even in universe.
It is around the time they open up that school to teach the principles of friendship to the less enlightened creatures of Equestria, tho. lol
Did anyone mention that the series ends with them putting the former leader of a communist cult in charge of that school?
i'm gonna be honest i don't get why they say everypony instead of everybody in mlp. it's not like the word everybody is human-specific. the ponies have bodies. the word everypony, however, is pony-specific in a world where ponies are not the only people in their society, which means it would be more accurate and inclusive to use everybody instead of everypony. it all makes no sense to me
Yesss!
This post is everything. It shows why Catradora are so perfect for each other and why they mean so much to me. Catra has so much to learn about being a nicer person and caring for others. Adora has so much to learn about being selfish, being willing to take what she wants, and caring for herself. So they're each other's perfect teacher!
And this is all as they're starting the romance they've waited so long for, so sex will probably be pretty involved in their learning and that's so cute.
Catradora sex except as they heal after season 5.
Catra learns to be vulnerable and give. She’s gentle with Adora and she talks her through her orgasm.
Adora learns to be selfish and ask for what she wants. She’s energetic and confident while she eats out Catra.
They both have a praise kink and cuddling naked is their favorite thing to do.

original thread 1
original thread 2
Both Adora and Catra, and their relationship, and their story has one of the best feminist statements and subtext in all media of the past century. I may write an essay just about that . Essays. Plural.
Well of course they don't respect or understand the familial love they're taking away from her. No one's ever loved them that way.
Something about the way both Sasha and Marcy are constantly trying to keep Anne away from both her families... so much can be read into that... the way those two have absolutely no regard for the concept of family, the way they want to own her entirely, the way they can't seem to understand her and sympathize with what's important to her...
I mean, how did she even experience that? Because theoretically she should've lived through a whole lifetime in which Madoka didn't exist and Homura never met her. Madoka didn't just alter the last month and a half, she altered ALL time. But Homura was so experienced with time travel (or so in love) that she couldn't forget. So did she just live a whole life with these memories, that she knows can't be real, of saving this girl Madoka who doesn't exist over and over again, as well as inexplicable timestop powers? Or was the Homura we all know just dropped into the new timeline with with all her memories, hopefully not erasing that timeline's Homura, but instead gaining her memories of a life without Madoka in a world without witches.
Wraith arc must've explained all of this I guess, but I've never read it.
Okay but like what do you think Homura was thinking on the day after Madoka became a concept? What did she do on the day she realized her mission was over?
But didn't Anne win your "worst taste in women" pull. I guess that one's obvious though. She's the only one that got dramatically betrayed by both of her girlfriends.
Propaganda:
Vampire!Anne breaking the brooding angsty vampire trope by being her ray of sunshine self. Won't drink human blood no matter how hot Marcy claims it will be and no matter how much Sasha insists she needs it. Pretends like nothing happened. Gets irritable and annoying when hungry and her mom refuses to let her go out with her friends until she eats like, a piece of raw beef to get her shit together. Secretly wants to drink her friends' blood but she's so deep in denial she won't even admit it to herself.
Vampire!Sasha is THE brooding vampire stereotype, she's so edward cullen coded it's actually embarrassing. You have it all: the supernatural piggyback rides, the angsty distance, turning her face away because she can barely resist the temptation... Marcy thinks it's genuinely cool when she finds out and offers her blood a little bit too eagerly, while Anne just blinks and goes "sure. she's a vampire now. okay. this definitely won't awaken anything in me" while Sasha is throwing the typical tantrum like noooo im a monsterrrr stay away from meeee and it's all shits and giggles until she actually caves one day and bites Anne all of a sudden.
Vampire!Marcy is still her adorable but traumatized self who Anne and Sasha are very determined to protect and that includes feeding her, something that Marcy refuses to do for so long, still haunted by guilt. But then Anne craddles her in her arms and offers her neck to her and she just can't hold back - you wouldn't expect a vampire to be so docile, so small, and fragile, but that's precisely how Marcy looks when she feeds, her loves always making sure she's healthy and safe.
YESSSSS!
I always felt people underrated how much the Horde Prime lifestyle contributed to Catra's hange of heart.
Catra was always about rugged individualism and believed in a brutal meritocracy she could rise through.
She hated the Princess Alliance and its message of peace and love because she felt like it made everyone conform to their positive vibes and lose their own individuality. Because they treated everyone well, she thought it left people without a reason to strive to be exceptional.
But then she got involved with Horde Prime and learned what it was ACTUALLY like to be stripped of your identity and to be kept from being your best.
And she realized how wrong she'd been before.
Hive Minds creep the fuck out of me. As somebody that values their autonomy and individuality, that level of “connection” to others is just too frightening for me.
No wonder Catra betrayed Horde Prime and saved Glimmer. She took one look at that “community” and metaphorically shit herself. As anyone would or should.
HORDE PRIME: “Little sister”
*visibly shivers*
That was not going to be her future. Subjugation was never on Catra’s bucket list. It’s why she kept running off on her own to try to “defeat” Adora. It was purpose. Trying to convince herself of her own self-worth - even in the eyes of her friend-turned-enemy. Horde Prime really frightens Catra because he wants nothing from her but total allegiance and domination via Hive Mind.
They found the one thing that would scare her so thoroughly that she would drop the act of being the villain and fight for what’s right,… for who she loves.
Always imagined one of the girls pointing this out like "Let me be clear, this is not a fight to protect my planet from being conquered. I'm fighting to keep my city from being nuked by our own government in order to stop you. There's no winning this for you. It's just a question of whether I also lose."
Kinda extrapolating in a nitpicky way from a single line but with Andrias's 'One life for thousands' thing like. LA has a population in the millions. I think Andrias straight-up has no idea how hugelarge Earth is. Thousands seems reasonable for a large population center to him.
Listen okay bear with me LISTEN. Amphibia is canonically roughly the size of Australia. which is only about FIVE PERCENT of Earth's surface landmass. Like Team Imperialism was already COMEDICALLY underprepared to actually invade Earth let alone actually WIN but this is hysterical.
Like there'd be a lot of civilian casualties + it's not like anyone would just let them invade but also, despite the vast gulf in tech, on the whole between sheer size and SO Many other factors (I have a truly bloated draft laying around Somewhere talking about these factors. Somewhere), Earth would have chewed the invasion up and spit it out like particularly cheap gum.
And what about Darcy you ask? Easy, they were going off of ~1000 year old data which was. whew. iirc human population around 1000 AD was estimated as like. A fraction of a percent of our modern global population. Ole Darce was more interested in tech and military capabilities rather than raw numbers and other seemingly basic bitch intel that supposedly would be less of a factor in the case of Alien Technological Superiority (which lol. lmao. bro ur just as dead if they kill u with a pointy stick or with a scifi railgun)
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
Is it bad that before I finished reading your sentence my brain autocompleted it "himiko as her pokemon"?
desperately need someone to draw ochako as a pokemon protagonist and himiko as her rival
