forever thinking of catra from the 2018 she-ra series. what if you were deeply in love with your best friend. what if you chose long ago to abandon your morals to stay by her side. what if, at the very first chance, she was faced with the same decision and chose her morals over you. what if your grief over that choice was so immense that it fueled five seasons of television and almost ended the world. what if, at the end of it all, the end of the very world she fought so hard to save, you asked her to stay and she finally, finally did

I'm just saying, "We created a computer to make decisions for us, but it assimilated all of the bias that was implicit in the dataset and now makes incredibly racist decisions that we don't question because computers are logical and don't make mistakes" literally sounds like a planet-of-the-week morality play on the original Star Trek.

that one fucking scene in nimona... what do you mean she tried to kill herself in her rawest "monster" form in center of the city by impaling her heart on the sword of the statue of her first friend, the one that first betrayed her like that and made her feel like a monster, and then she got stopped by her other friend, the one that made her feel like a monster again but realized he fucked up, apologized and touched her heart with the replacement of an arm that got chopped off by none other than his loved one, while also standing on the said sword of the statue. the layeeeers. that's literally fucking cinema
