Headcanon that when Catra's pregnant she is like extremely hungry all the time, but the issue is that if she even eats a little bit she feels sick. So she often went on hunger strikes, which stressed Adora out immensely.
Adora was constantly trying to coax her into eating food. She even came up with ways to add extra nutrients and calories into smoothies and shakes so that Catra could get as much energy as possible.
The only thing Catra could stomach was crackers. Adora was constantly armed with crackers in case Catra ever had a rare moment of asking to eat something.

"Catra thrashes, slashing blindly at her, howling. “Just get it over with,” she wails. “Please. I told you, she’s not coming back, just let me go. Please.”
Adora has never heard Catra plead like that. She resolves in that moment that she’s going to kill Horde Prime with her own hands, and she’s going to enjoy it."
this line from ND Stevenson's fic (at least I'm pretty sure that we're sure it's ND) always has me acting insane. MY LESBIANS MT LYESBIANS

I think there is gonna be a stark difference between Glimbow's parenting and Catradora's parenting. Nothing bad, of course. Just a difference.
Catra and Adora grew up with nothing. Little to no love, little to no comfort, nothing that really belonged to them.
Glimmer grew up a princess, the daughter of a monarch. She was never cold, never hungry, never worried about her position.
Bow of course had a less lavish upbringing, but it was still pretty damn nice. Loving parents (even if they were overbearing at times), a nice home, stability.
I think that because of the nature in which they grew up, Catra and Adora's kids will in fact be spoiled. They want their children to have everything they didn't. And they have the means to do it, why not? I think their kids will be the definition of spoiled but not rotten. Spoiled kiddos for sure. Maybe even brats at times. They probably know damn well how to get out of something by being cute and batting their eyelashes, because their moms have a major soft spot (even if Catra insists she's good at "putting her foot down" - she's not.). But when it comes down to it, they'll be kind, caring, good people who have a strong moral compass, even if they are little shits.
Glimmer and Bow however, will parent in the way that says "as the princess and princes, you have everything you could possibly need or want at your fingertips, and will live a life far easier than most kids in the world, so you won't get what you want sometimes. You will actually have to put in the work." They'll be amazing, loving parents, but I do think that they will run somewhat of a strict program.
My thoughts on Masters of The Universe (in the context of a hardcore shera 2018 fan who went to see the movie for nostalgia and also to get inspo for how she wants to write adam in her fics):
(spoilers under the cut)
It was a really fun movie. I went with my mother (who knows nothing about She-ra, even the 80's version) and she really liked it as well. It was campy, and there were some genuine laugh out loud moments.
The casting for Adam was beyond perfect. I've never given a shit about the original 80's series, but from what I do know Nicholas Galitzine was absolutely the perfect choice. (Let's just hope that if they make a live action She-ra, they cast her right.)
I loved Adam's personality. It felt like watching Adora in a sense.
Teela was great. She was badass, and I love Camila Mendes, so that was a plus.
I also loved that there was no romance between Adam and Teela. If they make it happen in a sequel or something that's great, but I thought it was tasteful not to in this movie. Love that Teela wasn't his love interest, and was instead her own person.
I loved Teela's dad.
King Randor :(
QUEEN MARLENA WAS GORGEOUS HOLY MOLY. Now we know where Adora gets it from.
Look...as scared as I am for the possible live action She-ra, and as worried as I am that they'll fuck it up (or worse make her straight), I couldn't help but feel so giddy watching that post credit scene. Anything with my girl is exciting (of course, this excitement will fly out the window if find that they're making her straight or not pairing her with Catra in the live action).
ADAM WORKING IN HR WAS SO FUNNY
As for how I might use this movie to inspire my fics:
Any and all fics I write with Adam/Eternia will simply be inspired. Nothing from the movie will be treated as "canon" because it's not canon to the spop 2018 series.
Adam and Adora must be the best of friends in my fics. Do I think they would be awkward at first (Adora more so)? Yes. But they would be absolute peas in a pod. I think I'd like to have some mentor vibes with Adora and Adam, since in the fic I'm planning Adora will have been She-ra a lot longer than Adam has been He-Man.
I think Adam would love Catra.
I don't think I would base the Adam I plan on writing completely off of this movie's lore, but his personality and newness to being He-Man absolutely.
Also, after the movie the whole drive home I basically gave my mother the run down of everything that happens in the 2018 reboot and gushed about the power of Adora's lesbianism.
I love all my ships. Ghsotflower, Dinostar, Brokerlynn, Yasammy, Benji, etc etc.
But nothing and I mean NOTHING will ever compare to Catradora.
They are literally a masterpiece to me. They were pretty integral to my coming out honestly. Like I go through waves with my other ships. Sometimes I'm more dinostar, sometimes I'm more Brokerlynn. But one thing that never changes is that I will ALWAYS be down to yap and go insane about Catradora.
And I feel like they really are one of those timeless ships. They're like the classy satin wedding dress of ships.

headcanon that Darius genuinely did not know that most Christians view homosexuality as a sin because he grew up going to a very progressive church that welcomed queer people and officiated gay marriages as soon as the state allowed it.
he was distraught when he found out.
How I imagine he found out:
(jwcc era)
Brooklynn: Yeah, my baptism was kinda a big deal for my dad. Mateo still carries the pictures of me in that long ass dress in his wallet-
Darius (visibly excited): Wait, I didn't know you were Catholic!
Brooklynn: I mean...technically? It was more of a tradition thing, my dad promised his parents he'd baptize his children if he ever had any. We don't really practice.
Little girls are watching this and thinking that its ok.
(Tw eating disorder/anorexia discussion under the cut. Some triggering stuff might be mentioned, please do not read if that will cause you distress.)
Do you know how many women posted about "not eating their popcorn in the theater when they saw Ariana's waist" THATS NOT OK. No one is blaming Ariana (or any of the malnourished female stars) for these women's weak senses of self esteem and confidence, that's their issue, but I don't really even give a shit about that. If a grown woman wants to starve herself, go ahead. It's her body. She can do that.
I'm worried about the little girls. Because once upon a time I was a teenage girl with an eating disorder. Thank god the ozempic epidemic wasn't happening when I was sick, I probably wouldn't have had half the desire to recover.
Like y'all I am so sure that in many ed facilities, the kids weren't allowed to watch wicked. Which sucks. It's a great film. But I know damn well that if I had a child with an eating disorder, there is no way I would let them watch wicked.
And the people who cry "body shaming" when people point out these concerns are full of shit, because they almost always respond with some form of "I bet you're a fat cow". I literally just saw someone say "I bet you're a fat whore." Which it should also be said that most of these women's defenders are in fact young girls, so that's not their fault. They're being influenced, and quite frankly brainwashed, by diet culture.
No, we shouldn't be commenting on women's bodies, but sometimes we do need to. This isn't a one person issue. It's a large issue, and not just in Hollywood. My friends ballet instructor from high school is a very petite woman. Barely ate as well. She went on ozempic and is now lighter than her 13 year old daughter. She brags about it too. That's not normal, that's sick. My sister told me a story of a young woman who had an ed, and convinced a med spa to put her on ozempic. She's 23 and now about 80 pounds. Not fucking normal.
(I'd also like to say that commenting on someone's body from a place of concern is sometimes needed, even if it hurts feelings. My sister would put me in my place when I used to brag about my thinness, and I needed it. One time she literally told me "You don't look good, you look like a little girl". Now, was that kind? No. Do I recommend saying something like that? No, I think a kinder and more gentle approach is needed. However, my sister not feeding into my delusion was so helpful, even if it hurt. I needed someone to get my head out of the clouds, and my friends sure as hell weren't doing that, and my mom was too scared.)
I'm a grown woman. I am comfortable in my adult body. I have no desire to look like a little girl, why would I want that? That would mean I wouldn't be able to defend myself well if needed. It would mean I have less energy to work and make money for myself and my future. I would have less mental clarity. I wouldn't be able to carry my nephews for extended periods of time.
But for some reason, society has convinced women (and girls) that it's ok to be fatigued, as long as you're skinny. Because all that matters is skinny, right?
Of course, I know that some women have medical issues that cause weight loss. They are not part of this conversation. Although....
It's hard to recognize when someone is sick now. Because everyone looks sick. That shouldn't be the norm.
And no one can tell me I'm crazy for saying this, because I've fucking been there. You think a recovered anorexic can't recognize the signs?
Bones are a big thing for us sick girls. We fucking love bones. I used to lay down on my floor naked and fucking marvel at the way my hip bones jutted out from beneath my skin. I used to cry because my sternum and collar bones weren't visible enough. I felt giddy when someone looked at me with concern. I loved that I fit into little girls clothing. I loved that everyone thought I was four years younger than I actually was. So yeah, I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
It's a sickness. A mental sickness. And when you defend it you just normalize it. Anorexia should not be normalized. Women looking frail and like children should not be normalized.
Anorexia kills people. There are girls I went to treatment with that are now in the ground. Fuck everyone who defends this shit.
I'm not saying this to bash Ariana or any of the other female stars who are playing into the skinny trend. I genuinely love Ariana, she's one of my most played artists. I think she' seems sweet too. But the reality is that young girls are watching this. And young girls are also watching their moms, sisters, coaches, aunts, etc. I want those young girls to have good examples, I want them to be healthy. We all need to be better for the girls that are growing up in this generation.
(I'd also like to say that I know damn well that all genders can suffer from eating disorders, including men and boys. However, it is very prevalent among girls and women.)
And look, if I get heat for this so be it. I'm not sorry that I don't want people starving. I'm not sorry that I don't want girls to waste their teenage years in treatment centers. I'm not sorry that I don't want people to fucking die from an illness that is preventable.
(ALSO DW GUYS I AM FULLY RECOVERED NOW. I honestly don't even think about food its great. If anyone who's struggling has read this, just know that it can get better. I'm not gonna say it does get better, because for a lot of people it won't. But it can. You just have to want it for yourself. No one can make you recover, it's up to you. I hope you want that for yourself.)
as someone who's been in the gymnastics industry for 11 years, i would like to add my thoughts if that's okay /genq
aesthetic sports are a hotbed for abuse and eating disorder culture. many young gymnasts are taught to track their weight, discouraged from eating, and indoctrinated into a deeply disturbing obsession with their body's size and looks. i am so so glad not to have experienced this firsthand, because if i had, i would be a lot worse off mentally.
fundamentally, gymnast or celebrity, it's all the same. your wellbeing becomes secondary to what you can produce, what you can present, what you can sell. because that's what it is. you are selling a product - yourself. your body becomes a commodity they can shape to what the consumers (slash judges) want. if it is fashionable to have super muscly gymnasts, thats what they will train. if it is fashionable to have super tiny super wiry gymnasts, then thats what they will train. it's horrible but it's the reality of the industry
let's look (really look) at the most recent (although its been happening for years, it just seems more intense rn) beauty standard of women being frail and very small.
(I'd like to preface this by saying Ik many women are naturally slim and naturally have little to no curves. Ik that. I think all bodies are beautiful -genuinely, I'm not just saying that. But there is a stark difference between healthy and natural slim and starving. Think Zendaya -naturally very thin, but looks healthy- vs...honestly just pick between any of the emaciated female stars rn)
When a woman starves herself to the extreme, she losing not just muscle mass and vitality, she starts looking like a child. When I had an ed, the first thing to go was my ass and boobs. Now, I was younger, but I still had an ass, and I still had boobs. I looked my age. I looked like a teenage girl that was beginning to grow into a woman's body. I went from that to looking like I was ten. I went from that to being able to fit into kids clothes. Now my case is less relevant, because at the time I was a minor. But, think about it in terms of a grown woman who loses weight to the extent that she starts looking like a kid. That she is able to fit into children's clothes (there's a whole group of women who like to brag about being able to fit into kids clothes. I once had to listen to a woman gush about how her ten year old daughters shorts fit her.)
The fucking beauty standard is for women to look like children. What the actual fuck.
There is nothing attractive about a child's body. To want to emulate the body of a child is sick.
My hope for women in the next few years is to be able to move past this and embrace our bodies as they are. Slim, fat, short, tall, whatever. But to be able to embrace the fact that we don't (and shouldn't) look like little girls. We're grown. It's ok to shop from the women's aisle rather than the girls. It's ok to have breasts. It's ok to not have a thigh gap. It's ok to have cellulite. It's ok to have stretch marks. It's ok for your bones to not be visible. It's ok to wear a 6 in women's denim rather than a children's medium.
(Also! Not that I don't love recognition for the itty bitty titty committee - I do - but there's this new thing where instead of calling small boobs what they are (small boobs), people are calling them "fashion boobs". Saying its "chic" to have small breasts opposed to large breasts. And look, small boobs are great (all boobs are great), but the way its framed is weird. Is it promiscuous for a woman to have large boobs? Something she can't even control? Is it "not chic"? What the fuck is happening?)

Oh nothing just the thought of Gwen's mom being her gateway to femininity.
Helen Stacy recognizing early on that her child might just be her little girl.
Helen letting Gwen play with her makeup. Even when George shook his head in disaproval.
Helen buying Gwen whatever clothes she wanted. Being so happy to do Gwen's hair and help her put on lip gloss when she wanted to be a princess for halloween.
Helen getting sick. George not wanting to betray his wife's trust by not accepting their daughter after she's gone. George changing not only for Gwen but for his wife.
Gwen being young, already having a harder time than most kids and learning that her mom, her safe space, was going to die within the year.
Gwen losing not only her mom, but the first woman to welcome her into girlhood.
Aunt May taking up Helen's role after her death. Gwen loves May, but its not the same. No one can compare to her mom.
