claws only, no talons please

when catra chooses to speak up and step out from behind the rubble, giving up the advantage of her hiding place and seemingly as-of-yet undetected presence ~

pushed to putting herself in the middle of it the moment she hears prime set his sights lethally on glimmer after what catra overheard him do to hordak.

and not only does she walk out just in time, but catra goes over to them and steps up to stand next to glimmer, facing prime beside her and running her mouth tryna buy time w bait she knows a guy like this can't resist: more power.

and the fact catra doesn't quit talking whatever kinda shit she's gotta till prime takes his hand off sparkles' face! just melts my mind in some other metaphysical plane but i somehow feel it here wtf

oh & who could forget prime saying "beginning with you" when he was gonna delete glimmer, meaning ofc that his intention afterward was to do the same to her entire planet, etheria itself

well, the fact catra sees exactly what that woulda looked like if she hadn't stepped out when she did well IT GETS TO MEEEE

it's july and i'm still gay all the way so here's a handful of catradora gifs ~

ok but how is looking at catra's crestfallen face here actually eroding my chest cavity ~

catra's caught herself having a lil fun fighting with sparkles instead of against her - and is instantly reminded that time is running out.
