SHE-RA YES I missed the time where everyone was talking about it so I am MORE than happy to talk about it now

and honestly? i kinda agree with you.  it's weird bc i usually love the fan favorite character because i'm basic like that, but not in this case?? not about the cat part of her being weird-- to my understanding, the horde gets a lot of their recruits by taking over towns and kidnapping children! yay. a lot of the species in she ra are like animal anthros and stuff, so it stands to reason she comes from a race of cat-people. and all the names in she ra are like that so it makes sense.  but

[major spoilers for s5 for anyone who hasn't watched it yet.  i haven't watched it yet, but the memes i spend hours scrolling thru spoiled it for me]

i love she ra.  it's one of my favorite shows of all time.  However, i think the creators low key did a terrible job handling their villains....

catra had potential.  she was a layered character who suffered because of what the horde had done to her.  watching her i really wanted her to be redeemed and finally find peace but.. i don't think the show ever actually achieved that. i watched the first few eps of season five but i haven't got to the kiss yet, but as far as i can tell catra had that existential crisis on the ship and sacrificed herself for glimmer and adora- her one good thing she wanted to do in her life.  but then she was rescued and went back to her old angry self, acting like adora was the one who'd done something wrong.  she yelled at adora, at entrapta, at glimmer, each characters she tried to KILL.  sure there where her "soft moments," but that was mostly her trying to elicit pity from the best friends squad, yknow?  but adora thought she was hot and now she's redeemed, without ever fixing what she'd done, never making peace with herself, never allowing herself to be vulnerable.  and i wanted catra and adora to be together, but not like that.

the other villain redemptions weren't done awesomely either.  there was suspicion around shadow weaver when she came to bright moon but for the most part she was allowed to do as she pleased.  i've heard she sacrificed herself for their sake but i haven't gotten to that part so...

she was never good.  she and hordak were the whole REASON catra-- and the world-- was so broken.  she never cared for anyone on Etheria, she never wanted to help Micah, or help Hordak, or help Adora.  she was pure evil. which sucked because there were moments i really liked her.

I legit LOVE hordak, he's SO amazing but again never really got redeemed or whatever.  I love Entrapdak sm it's soooo great but if this were reality hordak could never be forgiven for what he'd done.  Ever.

i love scorpia and entrapta sm.  they're the best.  scorpia was forgiven easily and deserved it.  precious pure-hearted cinnamon roll she was.  entrapta similarly, but i don't thing she ever got to the realization that what she'd done hurt so many people.  she never really knew or understood, which i which was something she could've. still i love her and she ra

sorry admins and peri for such a long post! also hi everyone, how've y'all been

Slightly hard to follow... and rather long... but YES MAKE YOUR OWN COSTUME IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME. And its okay if it sucks (WHICH IT WON'T), that's half the fun! I was a goose one year with a homemade beachball-covered-in-white-fabric butt-thing (everyone laughed but it was kinda funny and I don't blame them). My point is, even if it's ridiculous and mortifying and you're walking around school with a giant white beach-ball-butt, it's still worth it! Besides, now I have a bunch of embarreasing photos...

And good luck with art school! I really hope you get in. You're art probably doesn't suck (I mean I've never seen it but I have this thing called GOOD FAITH IN OTHER PEOPLE (not in me (is it possible to have parentheses in parentheses and parentheses in the parentheses in the parentheses? in case it wasn't here they are, (or if it was, here they are anyway. yay four pairs I've never done this before and I'm probably hopelessly confusing you) but this is really random so)) I bet you can't even remember what the first parentheses was about by now haha) Anyway. Good luck and you should make your own costume!

Heyyyy it's Sterling!

I was going to say that it's your turn for the Tag Game...because yeah. this is the random thoughts/things thread...isn't it? 

YEEEEEEEEES :D

I am now second guessing being born into the human world in stead of Demon slayer or MHA.

I need to hug Tsu, pat Tokoyami's head and yell at Deku with Bakugo (also punt Mineta across the room)

I also need to hug Nezuko and intro duce her to my oldest cousin, ride on Inouske's back and run up and own the mountain with him and breath  in and out...then slap demons across the face with Tanjiro.

If I was in Cells at Work....I would dress my oldest cousin up as a platlet and my self as a NK cell (lol)

If I was in Komi Can't Communicate...I would live with Nakana..

If I was in Hanako-Kun.....I would live with the Mokke.

If I was in Princess Monanoke, I would live with the wolves (OWO)

That is what I would do in some of the anime I watch.

I bid thee the bestest of luck, my fellow recluse!
