#source: shera and the princesses of power

[mogai-sunflowers]

ok, what is shera exactly about? a lot of people i know like it but i'm not really aware of the plot lol. also, are there any references to he-man in it?

so i'm not really familiar at all with the original She-Ra, I just know it's based on He-Man. I know there are absolutely references to He-Man in the original She-Ra, but there aren't any in the reboot, because instead of her being He-Man's twin sister, she's a magical princess whose persona never dies, but is passed on through an unbroken line of She-Ras who are granted power of her at their birth. So her identity is its own thing in the reboot, moreso than in the original!

but as to the plot, it all takes place on the planet Etheria. Etheria has a naturally strong balance of magic, balanced by the 5 runestones that correspond to one of the 5 princesses. Over 1,000 years ago, the planet was settled by a people called the First Ones. They tried to study and interpret that balance of magic, but they they kinda turned evil and tried to harness it for themselves. They turned the whole planet into a power source called the Heart of Etheria, so powerful that if activated, would destroy the whole universe. So, the She-Ra of that time, Mara, eventually discovered what was truly going on, and she sacrificed herself to stop it from destroying the universe by putting the whole planet into another dimension called Despondos, where it was separated and away from the rest of the universe. This broke the line of She-Ras, until 1,000 years later, Adora, who was a First One but was taken and sent to Etheria.

So yeah flash forward 1,000 years, and Etheria's magic has become less balanced because not all the princesses have a connection to their runestone. There is an invading force called the Horde, who are trying to take control of the entire planet through force and colonization, and the rebellion against all that is led by Queen Angella and her daughter, Princess Glimmer and her best friend, Bow. They're fighting to keep Etheria's people and magic safe, but the Horde wants it for themselves. Adora, aka the new She-Ra, was raised in the Horde, but through a chance encounter she finds out how they're actually really bad, and she befriends Glimmer and Bow and joins their rebellion to try and fulfill She-Ra's destiny by balancing Etheria's magic. In doing so, however, she leaves behind her best friend in the Horde, Catra, who gets so angry and broken that she becomes the main antagonist for awhile, trying to defeat the rebellion.

As time goes on, more details of the past are revealed, and the rebellion/Princess Alliance fight to keep access to the Heart of Etheria away from the Horde, until Horde Prime, whose clone started the Horde on Etheria, becomes aware of Etheria and comes to take it over with his giant army and tries to gain access to the Heart so he can destroy the whole universe and start it anew. Adora/She-Ra finally realizes what her destiny is and yeah, it's....... such a wonderful show lol

In honour of pride month I think we should make crack ships that not only feature the most obscure characters from the source media but also ships that cross fandom lines and make absolutely sense just because we can. I'm talking beast boy from the og teen titans cartoon x bow from shera and the princesses of power. Lets make everything gay and nonsensical.
