I am NEVER getting over the scene where hologram Catra gently cups Adora's face and pulls her into a tender forehead touch LIKE BRO IT'S SO. It's So Soft And Gay And Heartbreaking :')

AND THEN THEY GET TO DO IT FOR REAL

watching The Dragon Prince is a problem because every time people express discontent with another cartoon show it's almost always something TDP did really fucking well so i just default to like.

you want multiple fleshed out villains / antagonists with backstories and well developed motivations who are also wrong and not let off the hook for their actions? say hello to viren, aaravos, claudia, karim, and more.

you want varied queer rep and multiple trans/nb characters? meet an assassin and a blacksmith and a god and a sign language interpreter and a boy who loves plants and his unhinged girlfriend and married queens and rival enemies to lovers wlw who are now planning their wedding.

you want complex family dynamics regarding culture, legacy, power, and abuse? meet the mage fam, the sunfire royal family, the two main princes, adopted children with four parents, step and half siblings and blended families, etc, all explored in their heart and messiness.

you want varied and in depth character for disabled characters and characters of colour? you have a helpful blind pirate and a bitter blind dragon and a sweet amputee wolf and a deaf lesbian general who's also asian. 2/3 main characters are biracial. every couple is interracial. elves and humans alike have a variety of races and we see all of them on display.

you want to explore cycles of violence and healing and grief and war and found family? you want interesting and varied magic systems? you want ethical dilemmas and grey morality and characters being forced to make bad choices for good reasons? well done redemption arcs that still feel fresh, discussions of culture and religion and the death penalty? friends and family becoming enemies and enemies becoming friends and family?

watch The Dragon Prince.

not only should any autistic character who’s ever been infantilized by their fanbase kill and maim more people, but they should also fuck as nasty as possible too. as a treat

Do you ever think about how, in this scene, Catra could've spoken with both of them standing up, or loomed over Glimmer sitting on the bed in order to intimidate her, and instead Catra drops to her knees and holds Glimmer's hand

Because I do

Catra's so conflicted at this point--she's still saying she doesn't care about Adora, but her facial expressions and body language keep betraying her real feelings

But even before that conversation with Glimmer--there's the one where Horde Prime accuses Catra of protecting Adora, then offers to free Catra of her memories of Adora, only for Catra to bristle without a word and then look terrified--

It's not fear of the green pool shocking her, or being added to the hive mind--he threatened her with that after that moment

I love all the little ways they make it obvious how close she is to finally changing sides, to making that decision to save Adora's (and Glimmer's) life, so that when she does you're just cheering for her. You know it didn't come out of nowhere--that she's been wavering for a while.
