#beast island

[dearladynightmare]

Hello everyone! ^^

So, today I have to get out a deep topic that has been in my system since I watched the show for the first time.

It’s the fact that Entrapta has been trapped on beast island for months, thinking that she’s been abandoned once again. And it hurt me so much thinking about it. First the princess alliance abandoned her which, she didn’t knew, was a big misunderstanding. Then Catra betrayed her for real and sent her to die to beast island and on top of that Entrapta probably hoped in vain for Hordak to safe her. He‘s been the only true friend besides Skorpia she had made in the entire show! Almost everyone felt annoyed or stressed out because of her unusual behavior.

The only experience with most of the other protagonists were that they were angry with her, betrayed, used and abandoned her.

And when she was waiting for her true friend to safe her, she must have experienced all that pain over and over again, when she realized that Hordak wasn’t coming.

Didn’t she matter to him? Was it all a lie? Was their friendship just a wishful thinking? Why doesn’t anyone care about her? Did he use her for her skill like anyone else?

And THIS broke my heart. It’s not just that she and Hordak got separated. It’s the fact that she must have suffered a lot because all of her insecurities and self doubt were confirmed.

I mean she’s a smart woman maybe she considered that Catra lied to Hordak but why would he believe her?

I‘m going to talk about Hordak soon. Maybe tomorrow;)

Oh and before I forget! I loved drawing beast island!! It took me so SO long but I think it turned out beautiful:3 … I probably never do it againxDD

More She Ra Thoughts

Ok, so when they find Micah on Beast Island he keeps saying "I haven't talked to anyone real...  You are real, right?" and it finally hit me that he's so unsure about it, because he experienced the fake portal world too, and like everyone else, presumably still has those memories. 

So we all know he tried to tell Angella that he was alive before Bright Moon disappeared in the portal world, but I just thought about how fucked up that must've been from HIS perspective. 

Ok so, you're Micah, you've been surviving on a nightmare island for well over a decade, when suddenly one morning you wake up back at home with your family. Then that world fuckin' collapses and BAM, you're right back in your personal horror show. 

But THEN, not even a year later (which is nothing to you given how long you've been there and how degraded your sense of time is) here comes these kids. The same kids you met in that heart wrenching tease of a hallucination (that you still have no explanation for, and must assume was just something the island did) come waltzing up to you, on your godforsaken forgotten prison island that no one is supposed to know the location of, talking about your family and taking you home to Bright Moon. 

Assuming all of that is totally fake was honestly the most rational assumption he could make 🤷🏻‍♀️

any questions?

[hitchell-mope]

Oh Christ. Scorpia.

Thoughts and prayers to that mecha Entrapta had on Beast Island, looks like everybody forgot it was still up there xD

Thanks for the ask!

I like to think that after Horde Prime’s invasion was over they went back for it. It now lives in Dryl and scares everyone whenever they come over. I want to think that because I refuse to believe that Entrapta would leave behind one of her own inventions after her struggles with abandonment.

Entrapta: Is this . . . is this heaven?

Darla: This is Hazardous Materials Disposal Site: Beast Island.

Entrapta: No, no there's too much tech, this must be heaven.

OKAY I meant to start earlier in the day but I know once I start it will be difficult to stop lol

but I have some tasty pasta to eat let's go

(how much do you want to bet EVERY EPISODE after this is a two-parter due to the sheer amount of plot bumping into tumblr's images-per-post limit)

s4 ep11 beast island

They're talking about their plan to go to Beast Island and get Entrapta--and side note, the ship goes about as fast as an airplane, judging by the clouds/ocean's movement

will she tho

(I actually don't know! This is one of those plot points I forgot in part because I marathoned the last season and change of the show almost four years ago lol; like seriously from this point on I can remember random specific scenes but not which order or why they happened; it definitely doesn't help that a couple months ago I watched a bunch of She-Ra humor videos that are all, like, just clips from s5 in no particular order)

(seriously if you're a She-Ra fan they're great, they're especially funny if you're high as balls, which Daci and I were when I was like "hey you have to watch these with me they're hilarious")

the globe map is throwing some kind of angry alarm and Swift Wind's senses are tingling

They hit....something!

points to whomever designed that, it looks really cool, and yes, vaguely menacing

okay but you were ALSO told that Princesses were all evil soooo

They find Entrapta's mask and a Horde-made skiff and Swift Wind can hear some kinda weird noise

the ship did call it a Hazardous Materials Disposal Site...

anyway a bug-robot-thing starts to attack them--and Adora can't transform to She-Ra here!

OH HEY so the droning sound Swift Wind keeps hearing that's super fucking creepy is a Shepard Tone! (more info via wikipedia of course)

("April how do you know so much random shit?" I have ADHD and an internet connection. Also in this case specifically, Alex Hirsch once did an AMA in character as Bill Cipher, and he linked to a Shepard Tone and said it was his favorite song.)

Anyway they're attempting to fight the bug and losing

:D I KNOW WHO THIS IS :D

He scares the bug off with magic!! (Shadow Weaver did say he was a powerful sorcerer...)

dun dun DUNNNN

okay so I was confused as to how Glimmer was gonna get in there and duh SHE CAN FUCKING TELEPORT ffs

anyway Light Hope is a computer program and you're not the correct input??? you can't just order it to work pfft

YOU'RE NOT SHE-RA lol

Anyway King Micah hasn't been around other people in a loooong time and is bad with things like "personal space" lol

they're asking about Entrapta and I love that everyone in this show just Knows that Entrapta is like. Into robots. Sexually.

(I'm not looking right now but SOMEone has to have written a fic of Entrapta just making, like, really wild sex toys or fuckable robots, right? Right???)

LOL THAT'S HER ALL RIGHT

Entrapta apparently went to the center of the island but Micah is discouraging them from going. The sound Swift Wind keeps hearing is a signal of some kind from the center--

Apparently the signal is enough to draw people in and drive them mad.

poor dude

Also he thinks Glimmer is still a child and asks about Angella, and Bow and Adora just do a 😬

But they promise to take Micah with them once they find Entrapta and leave

I dunno I think it's kinda cute

Anyway as they keep walking both of them start having moments of borderline-crippling self doubt

Glimmer's killed the spiders that the Crystal Castle sets on intruders and is still trying to harass Light Hope into talking to her:

Apparently yelling that she wants to use the Heart of Etheria was the right thing to say

Back on Beast Island, the signal is getting stronger, Micah is trying to get more information about Glimmer from Bow and Adora, and also they're being hunted by critters:

There's some kind of distorted speech in the signal (which still mostly sounds like a Shepard Tone), and Swift Wind is frozen in place by it and this is happening--

CREEPY AS FUCK

D:

D:

Adora, trying to convince Micah not to give in, blurts out that Glimmer is Queen, oops

D:

D:

oh god there's a flash of light and Adora relives Angella kissing her forehead and telling her "take care of each other," then a bunch of moments of her and Glimmer, then:

"I won't give up, not on my friends, not on Etheria,"

--and she transforms into She-Ra :D

NICE!

The blast frees everyone of the vines and they're back to being themselves

"It wasn't the signal stopping me from being She-Ra, it was me. I was afraid Glimmer was right,"

"But I promise I'd take care of her--take care of everyone, and I will"

(actually you promised you'd all take care of each other, but whatever; like, this is part of her whole character arc)

Side note, She-Ra is taller than Micah by like, half a head minimum

The scary critters all run off because some huge monster shows up, the monster opens its metal jaws, and

and I've run out of images with three minutes to go pfft okay hold on

[pennamesmith]

ATTENTION I have just learned that the Beast Island pookas had an 80s predecessor.

That is all.

Beast Island - Entrapta

As they all were evacuating a cluster of monsters with the help from Entrapta's half mecha/half fully autonomous bot Entrapta says

Do you think Entrapta actually went back or do you think BFS was like, uhhh NO, no we're not doing that. We aren't letting you go back to a place where we literally almost lost everyone.

But she'll make her own way there with Hordak, Wrong Hordak, and Emily and possibly beg Swift Wind to come so he'll be the coal miner's canary.

"Do you still hear that noise? How about..... now? And now?" while she flips dials and switches.

You think the mecha asserted dominance and started an army of beasts? And then Entrapta has her own army?

[baggebythesea]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What can I say - I've got a type :-) And Beast Island is really convenient when I feel the need to isolate Glimmer and Catra from their friends for a while so their relationship can develop on its own.

[capndragn94]

In the original She-Ra series there was a Jungle Tribe that lived on Beast Island, their leader was named J'Milla and they appeared in the episode Jungle Fever. J'Milla also had a son named Tondy and a brother named Korg. What do think they would've been like if they appeared in the 2018 series?

[tenaciousdecapitator]

Canon shera is fine. I like that Bow is trying to reach through to her but he's doing a flawed job by relating his own issues to her, and then she just says "you wouldn't understand, but that's okay, because nobody understands me". How personal Entrapta's hopelessness and exhaustion is to autistic people and even mental illness. Then Bow gives her a ray of hope by saying theyre never leaving her behind again. That's what she needed to hear, and the fact they are still trying to save her even when she betrayed them and can't help with the Heart, it means everything to her. Spop is a flawed show but it's not a spiteful one.

On the one hand, that’s understandable and characters are certainly allowed to have flaws. On the other hand, it still feels unfair to tell Entrapta ‘you need to try harder to make friends’ considering that she’s been trying to be kind and socially open to anyone who’ll acknowledge her skills and let her help despite her lack of experience with organic friends. He’s got limited context for how much she’s been through the wringer lately, sure, but it seems like a statement that puts all the blame of her being accidentally left behind by the Rebellion on her lack of social experience instead of the other Princesses often treating her as a hinderance or annoyance during and before the mission. I really hope Entrapta got a chance to discuss her full side of the story to the BFS post-s5, partially in order to apologize for her involvement in the whole “hacking the Runestones” thing.
