My brain: hahaha... what if... entrapdak Forged in Fire!AU
Me: hmmm i wonder where all the Princesses would fall in like a Greek God/12 Olympian AU
Me: well obviously Adora would be Athena, Bow would be Apollo, and Entrapta would be Hephaestus but who would everyone else be???
Me, two hours of research later and half asleep: omg Catra is Ares. Catra is Ares while Adora is Athena. Two sides of war
Me bored at 1am: maybe i'll make a She-ra next gen au
Me at 2am: so this quickly disolved into being about the aftermath of the horde in the 20 years following the end of the war...
@ anyone who watched She-ra in another language WHERE DID THEY CALL ENTRAPTA HORDAK'S GIRLFRIEND? LIKE WHAT SCENE
Started reading entrapdak fanfic again and honestly if the end of season 3 didnt happen (portal didnt work and Horde Prime didnt come) i see Entrapta slowly be coming de facto "queen". By that i mean how the Horde treats her, not her actual duties (so really more of a 2nd or 3rd in comand without ppl to comand but you know in the gossip channels they would call her queen instead). I could see within a few years of being there she: hangs out in the throne room a lot, constantly taking resources from engineering/weapons department whenever she wants without Hordak punishing her, officers who go talk to Hordak when hes not in the throne room seeing her there too, probably more public displays like when Hordak publically announced Entrapa found a way to spare Catra's life, becoming well enough known by dropping out of the vents in the cafeteria and barracks in the middle of night, getting her own seperate diet that does not consist of bars like everyone else and therefore meaning cooking staff have to be retrained, her own room which is a privalge given only to Captains, Hordak ordering construction of a new lab so Entrapta can have her own, etc. The truth is its difficult to stop Entrapta when shes in the act and terrifying to go to Hordak directly to request she be banned from certain areas. Also in the begining with the portal project being the main project Hordak gave Entrapta free rein over resources and she wasnt aware it was just for the portal project and his armor. So now Hordak and Entrapta are basically best friends and thats why they spend a lot of time together, and being seen with Hordak so much has unoffically given Entrapta as much power and fear as him. Also her castle ate people when they were sent to occupy it.
Notice how Entrapta was never scared of Hordak? Sometimes she was surprised but she wasnt ever truely scared. Even when they met again, after she had been scared of different clones she still was never scared of him. You see in the last season shes scared of certain clones, Wrong Hordak in the begining, and Horde Prime but never Hordak and i just think thats interesting
Now that She-ra has a new design i finally feel like i can say this: her first design looked like a 5 year old playing dress up with a really bad wig and i hate it so much
Me: knows that Shadow Weaver was not "redeemed" and recognizes that Shadow Weaver was saying what Catra and Adora need to hear in order to complete Shadow Weaver's goal, simmilar to when she was imprisoned in season 3
Me: has seen a few exerpts saying that Shadow Weaver was indeed not redeemed
Also Me: i hate that Shadow Weaver got a redemption arc
Got a new brush with the update so I tried it out by drawing Catra (from memory)
Hey yall what are your headcanons for She-ra characters ethnicities? I saw a couple posts on it floating around and was wonder what the main consensus was
I always felt that Catra was jewish/middle eastern (and apparently so do a lot of you!), Adora was latina (again a lot of you surprisingly), and pretty much everyone else from different countries in Asia
What are your headcanons?
I think one of the reasons i didnt like the second half of the last season was because of Adora. I personally have grown to hate selflessness as a heroic trait because i missed out on much as a child and in the last few years have had to teach myself to be selfish. And Catra constantly bringing up that Adora has no self preservation and the closer to the end of the season the more it would come up (so you think i would like it) in different forms of Catra's complicated expression and personality. I 1) feel like the "arc" was too much as the last episodes were just crammed with too much going on and it was all going on so fast 2) you cant even call it a "arc" because it never went anywhere/resolved 3) was used more a romantic plot then actual self growth
Everyones talking about how her tiara looks like Catra's headpiece but no one is talking about how she has Bow's hearts!!
Just saw She-ra s5 and here are my likes and dislikes about this season
Likes:
- The first half was so good
- Prime's Horde was the exact amount of creepy and controling i expected
- The religous background music on Prime's ship (very creepy)
- The whole Catra rescuing Glimmer (was super well done and very in character)
- "So the only person we're fighting here... is my own wife"
- Netossa having a long researched list of ppl's weaknesses
- MERMISTA LIT A BOAT ON FIRE
- when entrapta flirted/said "well hello there" to the killer robot
- Wrong Hordak was a gift i love him
- She-ra 2.0 I LOVED THAT LOOK
- That the name of the Prime's "weakness" has the word "Christ" in it (because the whole religious allegory)
- Catra
- The Glimmer-Bow tension after her rescue
- Micah when he finally actually met Glimmer for the first time
- Double Trouble posing as a clone and then leaving because it was too boring
- Double Trouble making Seahawk raise their "hand to the heavens"
- Swift Wind draging Entrapta away from Hordak by her overalls
- The soirée outfits
- Learning Perfuma is actually super powerful but she refuses to unlock it
- That Shadow Weaver "mothered" both Adora and Catra and not just one
Dislikes:
- The whole second half
- Adora's whole personal conflict
- I really wanted Catra to die and she didnt
- Im personally not a fan of Redemption Arcs (Catra's was good but not Shadow Weaver)
- I just hate Shadow Weaver i'm tired of seeing her
- When everyone started telling everyone else they loved them it wasnt clear in what way (i didnt think Catra + Adora was a romantic one until they kissed so i dont know who else i miss intrepeted)
- I dont know if anyone else caught it but there was a lot of things that parallel with Voltron and Avatar so all i could think about was that instead of actually watching (magic alien cat = teleporting space wolf, bringing a ancient universe wide war back to their home planet for the final battles, etc) (avatar state = she-ra, attachments are "distractions")
- Ive loved the Power of Friendship Trope/Plot throughout this show but i dont think it was done all that well this season
- There needed to be more Catra and Scorpia reunion time
I had a dream last night where i tweeted crew-ra and asked if they think any of the characters were on the ace or aro spectrum and Noelle responded with this colorful chart that had a column of characters with a row of different orientations and Adora was (the only one) checked in the aro box and i woke up with the desire to create a twitter account
I was bored so i was looking up name meanings for different shows. I know with She-ra the names are more like puns (ex: Micah = Mica, Catra = Cat) so i just chose names that looked like they would be pronuced similar

Im about to go into Entrapdak fanfiction and if there isnt either of these plots imma be sad
- The Princesses save Entrapta before Horde Prime comes and Hordak recieves word she is in Bright Moon (can be either before or after he learns the truth)
- Hordak actually sees/meets Entrapta when her and Bow came to the Fright Zone
