claws only, no talons please

saw this couple trend/challenge thing on tiktok and thought it was soooo catradora (other version and reference below cut)

We actually all have to think about how adora's wishful future ends with catra holding out her hand for adora instead of the other way around

like the whole series adora has repeatedly held her hand out to catra (literally and metaphorically with how she keeps trying to get catra on her side) and her perfect future means no longer having to beckon catra over bcuz catra joins her anyways :')

it also shows how much adora truly wants to be loved and be chosen for Herself instead of being she-ra, specifically by Catra bcuz Catra’s possibly the only person who saw Adora’s individual worth outside of being she-ra. like. Adora wouldn't have to fight for love. It would just be reciprocated.

ALSO bcuz catra is notoriously bad at showing her feelings and love for adora due her insecurities, her openly Asking for adora to join her is just sooooo. Omg. Catra wouldn't be scared to show her love for adora because they'd be That secure in eachother.

Adora wouldn't have to fight for love, and catra would be able to openly love adora; it's literally a microcosm for the climax of the finale where catra finally expresses that she loves adora and adora finds her own strength from that. Because Catra was holding out her hand.

its also interesting how it's that freeze frame in the wish that flickers with horde prime bevause its possibly the most unrealistic part of the wish (to adora at this point imo) and its kinda why catras love confession is so poignant because catra literally does the most impossible part of the wish and its enough to bring adora back.

Holy shit. What a fucking show.
