Poor glimmer. Imagine being a bisexual disaster with your questionably platonic best friend, fighting injustice, when suddenly a blonde super soldier turned warrior goddess trips face-first into your life. She's somehow the most terrifyingly competent woman you've ever met, a clueless ditz, and an absolute softie. You are smitten, but she's also your friend and you look up to her and you're at war so mostly you're just excited to be doing your thing!!
Then you meet her ex. Ahem, ex best friend. Definitely.
And if Adora wasn't enough of a sapphic wet dream, here's the nightmare counterpart: the angriest, most vicious enemy you've faced and a smirking little shit who shows you up at almost every turn. You hate her. Right. Definitely. That's definitely anger you're feeling. And if you picture her in a sexy outfit every now and then, who does that really hurt? Surely you're not the only one who can't stop thinking about her being evil.
She crashes out, your mom gets stuck in an alternate dimension, you become queen, there's a bunch of normal drama and war drama and you nearly blow up the planet trying to beat her and you WIN but it doesn't feel satisfying because right at the end you see she's been broken and flailing from the start. You should have known, in hindsight, after what Adora was like. But it was easier not to think about it. You bond on an alien flagship and then she saves your life. You reconnect with your friends and go back for Catra. She's still Catra, but you know she can figure this out. And she does! There's a hiccup but she clearly loves Adora (and Adora saved her from death itself) and together their love saves the universe.
You're with Bow and Catra's with Adora and your dad is alive now? So that's amazing! But there's just. One small problem.
You live basically next door to the hottest lesbian couple...maybe of all time. They do not have a sense of propriety, (they grew up in BARRACKS after all) they are desperately in love, and they are NOT. QUIET.
So you get to die a little inside every day, because you KNOW Bow would be supportive and healthy about this because he's the most chill person you've ever known! The calming goat to your anxious horse.
And then one day Catra walks in on you naked and casually drops "nice ass, sparkles" like it's the most normal thing to say to a friend and now you have to teleport yourself into the kingdom of snows because if you don't dunk your head into a snow bank you are GOING to combust.
you skipped over the part where the sexy villain outdoes glimmer even in her own imagination and somehow tops the film noir fantasy with a real femme fatale takeover to make a confident statement after the literal world-ending crashout.
i don't know how she managed to be so cocky and also get the last word in when she went on that solo ambush mission at the horde's outpost in the woods, yet finally folded only once they both returned there together as friends???
no need to pity her too much, though - she got what she needed eventually! plus, occasional polyamory is probably in the cards with all four members being down to share some nights!
