If Alador and Darius are dating. And Darius has Hunter adopted. That means that Hunter is Luz's brother in law and Amity's half brother. Not only that!!! Willow!!! Will!!! Be!!! Amity's!!! Sister!!! In!!! Law!!!

And that's so funny to me. I'm fucking laughing.

Odalia must be mad at all that info, but they don't even care.

Entry level jobs haven't existed since the 2008 crash. 90% of hiring managers won't hire recent graduates. A quarter of job listings are ghost jobs. Companies hire part time so that they don't have to give benefits. Federal minimum wage hasn't increased since 2009. The True Unemployment Rate is 25%. Master's are the new bachelor's. For most the job search takes over a year. 75% of resumes are never. actually seen by the hiring team.

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

Tipsyy what are your thoughts on portal! corrupted Catra? Some like to use her to prove how evil and toxic Catra is when it's clear it's not the Catra we know ? Her entire half is erased along with her "goodness ", having knowledge of Adora's origins? The dimension jumping, appearing out of thin air ,distorted voice, she even dies differently everyone fades away but she goes up in flames .Her puzzled face once they makes it out also atleast tells me she wasn't aware of everything that went down after she first fell into the portal abyss others also think she was a figment of Adora's deepest insecurities.What do you think Corrupted Catra was

I think that this was definitely Catra, acting on her most outraged intentions. There is absolutely no need to pretend it wasn't her or that she had lost parts of her identity, because as fucked up as her actions were, it doesn't make her an irredeemable monster.

Corrupted Catra is a visul representation of how broken and enraged Catra feels during this episode.

Catra CHOSE to be corrupted. She chose to fall into the portal, because she knew it would hurt Adora, and now she's choosing to climb back out to inflict further pain.

Yes, Catra may not have fully been absorbing the consequences of her actions, but you have to bear in mind:

Moments before this episode, she chose to send one of her own friends to die. Similarly, Catra did not process this properly. Sending Entrapta to Beast Island was basically like putting her in the next room in Catra's head. She wanted to forget about this and would suffer horrible reminders for all of next season, that she'd continue to repress.

Then, when Catra was standing next to the portal lever, after having been told how utterly disastrous it could be, she saw Adora begging her not to do it, and pulled it anyway. Do you think Catra had decided to murder millions in this moment? Absolutely not - what she wanted, more than anything, was to make Adora hurt the same way that she does.

And Catra in the portal, well, she refuses to accept that this is what she's done, and when Adora confronts her, she keeps deflecting- if Adora turned her into a monster, then none of this is her fault, right? She's just doing what she was created to do. So when Catra beats the shit out of Adora, she is telling herself that this is all she will ever be.

This all changes when Adora punches catra in the face.

Adora tells Catra to fuck off - that all of this is Catra's decisions, she's not going to pretend to be responsible for Catra's continuous fuckups anymore.

Thus, Adora accepts that Catra has agency over her actions. 

This puts the FEAR OF GOD into Catra - she has pushed her so far now that Adora's finally looking at her like the enemy.

And whatever rage that Catra had been clinging onto for the whole of season 3, this is the point where it starts to falter; the illusion of being nothing but hatred, nothing but a monster with no agency, it is falling apart.

Catra continues repressing her guilty conscience until the end of season 4, but it was constantly falling apart already. All it needed for her to finally shatter her self image was for Scorpia to leave her, Hordak to turn on her, and Double Trouble to deliver the final blow.

It is not enough to get into a comfy sleeping position- one must go through several and spin like a rotisserie chicken to arrive at the position you started with.

i am so incredibly normal about this. light spinner telling micah he was gifted but lacked dedication and now in this scene shadow weaver basically telling catra she is not naturally gifted but she breathes dedication and had to fight for power.

adora being shadow weaver's favourite because she had both.
