does anyone else think that adora could've been way more toxic 👀👀 #gimmedat
like she was also raised by shadow weaver... i get that shes supposed 2 b the Good Guy but cmon. she couldve been more toxic. catra cannot be the only toxic one.
in my mind adora would be the Controlling type of toxic, where she kinda thinks she Owns catra bc shadow weaver constantly made catra adora's responsibility and prolly embedded the idea that catra is an extension of Adora thus... controlling.. plus since adoras like catras only friend = more reliance on adora 👀👀👀👀 catra's codependence on adora would Nourish this nicely...
cuz we see Catra mirror shadow weaver in the series, can we see adora mirror sw by not recognising catra's autonomy since she views catra as her own....? Just putting it out there guys dont jump me.... its toxic for a reason...
this couldve been capitalised on when adora tries to get catra to leave the horde w her at the start because since adora thinks catra is an extension of herself, she thinks catra will willingly follow anywhere she goes and its a bit of a shock when catra has her own agency outside of adora... Disobedience yk. Equals dispute Equals fighting Equals toxic yuri yummy
also she'd want catra all to herself. she gets jealous of scorpia in the graphic novel idc shes possessive in my mind... 👀
i love problematic toxic catradora idk. Theure obsessed with eachother and so entirely codependent #gimmedatnow Also i think it would be more interesting than just catra being Unhealthy in their relationship
Adora in the first season is interesting. In the first few episodes she victim blames Catra and doesnt think about how Catra covering her would affect Catra especially as she knows what Shadow Weaver thinks of Catra.
We know she is a repressor. But she didnt think much about her life in the Horde. Lonnie was right in a way. They were her friends and she didnt spare them a thought. And immediately after defecting she immediately acts dismissive about Catra and sees her as always up to something (no matter how true that was what were her clues for that. At the Sea Gate she is very dismissive of Catra. Maybe Catra fighting her then reflects how she immediately thinks Catra is up to no good.)
Also in Promise she is also dismissive of Catra who was destroying the spider bot and going to deal the finishing blow until Adora jumped in at the end and dismissed Catra's handling of the situation.
In Take Control the way she corners Catra and tries to get her to do want she wants is a bit of an indication of how their dynamic used to be. She does back off and offers Catra a choice which was one of the few things Catra was after (having control so she can be safe)
