this is random thoughts and kind of personal but I was randomly thinking again of Adora and her family, or rather,
lack of.
Like we never got to know who the First Ones really were. Who her parents were, if she had siblings or extended family. We know NOTHING, as far as I am aware, of how she traveled 1,000 years into the future. We just dont know anything, which is a failure of the writing.
But this gets me so much because I sort of relate to Adora’s want to know her family. Without going into much, when my parents divorced and later my stepmom came into my life, I was kind of cut off from a side of family. To the point at my grandpa’s funereal when they had that TV playing pictures of his life, I wasn’t really in it compared to my cousins and that stung
So it’s like, I dont know my family. I was kind of cut off from them because of factors out of my control and I wish I could have seen them more growing up and gotten closer and not feel like a fuckin outsider in my own family and feel anger and bitterness for what was taken from me and what could have been.
And I guess that is why I am so angry that Adora never got to see her family. Because I relate to her I wanted some sort of catharsis and it was built up but never happened. And don’t get me wrong.
Found Family is important. Her being with Bow and Glimmer and the other Princesses, finding a mother figure in Angella--all of that is good! Blood isn’t everything. But idk as someone who so wants to see and know their blood family it still aches and I still get so angry over what happened, I want to see what in media. Seeing someone not knowing their blood family or having lost a connection and getting it back.

may i ask what is was about save the cat that got you like that? its ok if you dont want to answer this
I'm gonna ramble under the cut cause yeah. And I am putting this disclaimer on first also cause yeah
DISCLAIMER: if this shows up in the main tags not my fault! Its tumblr's! I tag correctly so those I want to see can see it and followers can blacklist my post! If you have a problem, blacklist my tags or block me! If you start shit I will block you!
Anyway truthfully I don't know what got me. It just did. I related to Adora, a lot. Like she is probably one of my top 3 characters I relate to so she is very important to me, esp as an abuse victim who always puts too much on their shoulders and feels like they have to make up for everything wrong. Now, up to this point in s/pop, we saw the following things done to Adora from C@tra:
-C@tra going out of her way in the battle of brightmoon, clawing her back, blaming her--telling her "[C@tra] can't wait to see the looks on [Adora's] friend's faces when they find out [Adora] failed them, they [Adora] was too weak to save them."
-C@tra being like "duh the horde always has been evil" like Adora just finding this out and being in shock and c@tra is like no shit sherlock. And oh tasing her
-leaving her to die and cutting off her only support when in the temple
-hell that whole promise they made it wasn't adora who broke it (who n*elle and the fandom seem to like to blame) it was c@tra since Adora asked many times for her to come with her but C@tra REFUSED
(these all above are just season 1)
-In white out c@tra more or less drugged adora and was HAPPY at the thought of having control over her and making her attack and hurt/kill her friends
-The whole portal shit in s3, esp the "i rather see the whole world end then let you win" plus right before she said "you always have to go and ruin it, don't you" to adora. If memory serves me correctly, and based on this line, c@tra once again new something was wrong but didn't tell adora so she could have her. And just the first like with the world ending sounds a lot like "if i can't have you no one can" which is one of the BIGGEST FUCKIN RED FLAGS in an abusive relationship.
-The shit c@tra said in the last ep also
-Sending DT to fuck with Adora and Glimmer's relationship. She did that on purpose.
-If memory serves me right again, c@tra told Prime about Adora being on the way to save Glimmer
so can you see why maybe I got triggered? Adora and c@tra did not have a good relationship.So seeing Adora, someone i relate to a lot, all of a sudden being like "OH NO C@TRA I LOVE YOU AND I NEVER GAVE UP ON YOU" is utter bullshit. (not to mention with the i never gave up on you, i know she said something along those lines im pretty sure, did you see the look she gave her at the end of s3? That was the look of "get the fuck out of my life i am done with you" and in s4 there was nothing between them? did they even interact past that one ep were c@tra tried to kill Adora?
I have a lot more i can rant about with the rest of s5 (like the i have always loved you. Like no????? Trying to kill someone, drugging them, and fucking with their other relationships (like that fuckin FLASHBACK IN CORRIDORS GOD THAT IS THE WORSE FUCKIN SCENE(s) IN ALL OF S/POP) is not love, it's ABUSE! but yeaaaaaahhhhhhh. Save the cat is one of the worse eps because it goes against everything we saw and allows for an abusive relationship to be canon
And i say this all as a queer sapphic and someone who has dealt with abuse
I want to start loving c@tra again I mean I always did up until s5 and how she got handled and how the f@ndom and s/tevenson treat her but idk
Im so disconnected now like I'm here with buddies like the show is ours now and I want to re-love c@tra again and do her right/justice she deserves better also
Fuck it while I'm on my soap box I'm sorry for salt I promise I'm done after this
I said it before the argument of "get over it" that stans give to us is horrible. Like excuse me I CANT get over a trigger like that. My friends can't. Others can't. You are telling people to get over a trigger that is so fuckin gross and horrible.
Like last night I saw a post that wasn't s/pop but had s c/a quote to it. Like I can't get over it when it's all over the damn place.
But ya know why don't stans just get over not everyone likes their ship and are allowed to be upset and give criticism to the show. Why don't you get over that like stop making fandom a fuckin personality trait and feel like any criticism is an attack on you
I forget if I said this on tumblr but I think its been said before but like
How c@tra and c/a should have gone down should've been like Bojack. Two scenes in my head I mean.
With C@tra, the Todd scene with "it's you". Todd calling out Bojack for all his shitty things and calling out how Bojack uses his past is what we needed for C@tra. Someone, like maybe Glimmer whose mom is DEAD because of C@tra, to really honestly hold her accountable and not be like "oh you had a bad past sorry" but "you had a bad past doesn't mean you can be an ass in the present" cause so many people had shitty past (*cough* ADORA *cough*) but didn't try to mass murder a whole ass planet to spite their "love interest".
And also we needed that last scene of the show the one with Diane and Bojack on the rooftop. We needed that with Adora and C@tra. Were Adora calls C@tra out in the hurt she caused her and C@tra being like yeah you are right. And then like that's it. Like after that night, after that scene, they go their separate ways never to talk again. After all the toxic shit, they have one last moment before going on their separate paths.
Ie, Bojack did everything right that s/pop did wrong

S/pop fandom challenge go outside and touch some grass instead of attacking abuse victims for being upset over c/a and making a callous post to a fanartist who made a human mistake
this is just a random thought nothing set me off but like even if Kris “isn’t” non binary, I use isn’t loosely as yeah Toby nor anyone in the game as flat out said they are non binary, they still use they/them pronouns.
in that livestream toby and everyone were calling they/them (i know there was some slip us i didn’t see the whole thing but i know toby was using they/them) and in the game everyone uses that. And we are told/shown in game we are NOT KRIS
so the fact of the matter is their pronouns are they/them, not something else. They/them are valid pronouns and need to be respected. I dont see anyone using wrong pronouns for Susie or Noelle or Ralsei or etc. It’s not hard to just use they/them
