✧ it's just a bunch of hocus pocus

hey so i dont think im ever gonna be normal about adam feeling constantly pressurized to submit gender norms - becoming obsessed with the idea of becoming someone else aka a "true man" like he thinks his father wanted, feeling ashamed for being weak and small as a child yet still trying to talk his way through conflict rather than fight despite being told multiple times it wont work. i dont think im ever gonna be normal about them having boys dont cry, a song where a boy is unable to escape those internalized societal pressures as well as toxic masculinity - play twice during the highly emotional points of his story. im not ever gonna be normal about adams father telling him he never wanted him to be someone different, how he was a sweet boy and he only wanted him to be strong and prepared for the world around him. i am never, ever going to be normal again actually

2026 Adam/He-Man has officially stolen my heart and it’s wild that tumblr isn’t talking abt this guy. He’s a loser. He infodumps about his home planet on a first date and gets dumped immediately. He works in HR. He can’t drive. He gets mesmerized by his own abs. He’s convinced he can talk things out with the bad guys despite this never working once the entire film. He goes to the gym in a pink kitten sweater that says “alpha male.” He’s been arrested. He sneaks away to transform into he-man as if it’s a secret but literally everyone knows. He brought his earth roommate to eternia to prove he wasn’t crazy. He even killed Jared Leto. What a guy.
