a totally valid headcanon if you ask me

as a black person and a fan of the show, the responses to the she-ra stream are quite frankly embarrassing.  like, if you’re in the tag talking about how you feel “betrayed” and “not she-ra too” and this that and the third, you need to get a grip.  no group of creators is ever going to be perfect and this hero-worship of tv crews is childish and misguided.

the fact is that the she-ra team is almost entirely white and if you didn’t see it coming that they would eventually say something off-color you’re delusional.  the comment about bow’s brother was the kind of tasteless that actual black people would just roll their eyes at, but white fans are turning this into something about how you can never trust anyone even people you thought were #woke.  as poc we are aware that you CANNOT expect a white person to never reveal their internalized racism because it is just that, internalized, and the zealots in the tag trying to cancel the crew are only demonstrating fragility.  you don’t have to get over it, but you shouldn’t be putting them on a pedestal in the first place, especially over actual creators of color portraying poc’s lived experiences accurately.

ik it’s talked about a lot especially in the spop fandom but i really hope this is an awakening for people that creator worship and apotheosizing is unproductive and unhelpful. what the crew said today was so deeply hurtful and ignorant. not only that, but the behaviour they displayed shows that this isn’t just a ‘lapse in judgement’ or a ‘caught up in the moment‘ thing but a dialogue, dynamic and literal joke that’s been shared before. when we let ourselves become deeply endeared towards creators, it hinders our ability to consume their content in a conscious and critical way, and when we do that, people get hurt. noelle and their crew, much like she ra, are very obviously flawed. remembering this, as well as holding them accountable for their words and actions, is necessary in a healthy relationship with the content you consume. at the end of the day, creators are not gods or super human in some way, they are people, and in this case, they are people who’s ignorance and privilege blinded them from something glaringly obvious. dismantling these reverent images we have of creators is literally the only way we can stop things like this happening in the future, not only in the spop fandom but in media consumption as a whole.

Here's Noelle's full apology thread. Remember that us non POC cannot accept her apology.

[adoras-jacket]

what happened with the crew ra panel? i havent been keeping up lol

I didn't watch it either– I don't know how to describe it but I felt that it wasn't going to give us answers to you know, maybe a movie or something like that. And god was I right.

But from what I've been reading on twitter this is the summary:

Noelle, creator of She Ra, and other crew members made racist, ableist, homophobic, and overall insensitive comments that should not have been made.

They (Noelle) apologized saying it was an inside joke, but it really hurt a lot of disabled, black, POC and non-binary fans.

But honestly the crew-ra as is only incorporated of white writers, didn't have the right to talk about these topics. And yeah only an apology won't be enough for the many fans they've hurt.

Progressive of Power Panel 2 "Highlights"

(First things first, you should probably take an hour and a half of your time to actually watch it and form your own opinions. I'll try to be unbiased but we all know that's impossible)

Catra and Adora were just whispering about dumb kid stuff, obviously. Made up stories about Shadow Weaver, touching each other's hair, etc. There isn't a deep secret about this.

Adora is the repressed Lesbian, Catra is the yearning Lesbian. Adora would get so into their relationship when she actually realizes.

There's a deleted B-plot about Castaspella, Angella, and Shadow Weaver going to the spa.

There's a deleted Princess Prom scene of Angella getting Prom Photos of Adora and Glimmer, except it's they're posing for a court painter. Also a scene where Scorpia shows Catra her weird flying Scorpion car thing we see at the end.

Micah originally commented on Glimmer and Bow's relationship in a protective dad way.

There might be a faction of First One's left, it's a mystery of whether they're still out there. Maybe an offshoot of Mara's Rebellion.

Mara was originally a He-Man character, but she didn't really base her off that character outside of design. The Mara from the reboot was originally a completely seperate character and was jokingly called "Brittany." Noelle chose Mara because she has the same name as one of her favorite Star Wars characters.

Noelle's theory on Madame Razz is that she's basically a glitch in the matrix, when Mara isolates Etheria she gets dislodged from linear time. When Adora breaks the sword and brings Etheria into the greater Universe, she's healed. Also, in the original show Bible, there was a running joke that Razz dated everyone on Etheria. A joking example is her having an ex that was literally a sentient ball of flame.

The flashback scenes were edited to seem more magical and alive, examples include insect calls and Dinosaur noises.

Double Trouble was originally going to be more of a Femme Fatale, but Jacob Tobia helped shape them into the theater kid we love.

Everyone on the crew has an idea on Flutterina and her fate. Noelle believes she was made up by Double Trouble, based on a little girl they watched in a coffee shop that is none the wiser, while the rest of the crew likes to think she's dead.

Noelle supports the Double Trouble and Peekablue ship, but doubts the real Peekablue acts the way DT played them.

Glimbow is a more subtle mirror to Catradora.

The host relays an email calling Entrapta and Hordak good disability rep. Noelle doesn't directly comment on that.

Hordak and Light Hope are parallels, both created for a specific purpose but breaking from that programing.

Shane Lynch called Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket a "boy Catra"

So a white cis straight guy asks Noelle what stories he can tell. Noelle talks about the importance of minority voices and keeping opportunity doors open for POC and other minorities, it's not about what you're "allowed" to write but instead elevating marginalized voices. Noelle hopes that she can use her success later down the line to influence executives, who are often the reason those voices aren't being heard.

Glimmer's "titty crystal" in her season 4 design is just a piece of a queenly clothing. Glimmer doesn't have wings, the idea is that her little wings are sort of like birthmarks.

Two and a half to three years pass between season 1 and 5, the crew was expecting season 5 to be split with a time jump between.

Here's the big one. There was an inside joke that all of Bow's brothers had punny rhyming names. Oboe who played the Oboe, Gogh who was missing an ear, and I quote "Which one of Bow's brothers likes to till the fields? Sow."

Entrapta absolutely built her own robot parents.

There is probably more than one language on Etheria, the crew never really thought about it.

Laura Sreebny likes to think Kyle, Lonnie, and Rogelio open a bar in the Crimson Wastes. Noelle likes to think Double Trouble would hire then for theater.

"Believe in yourself God damn it" is an Adora outtake the crew loves, a lot of Scorpia's dialog was improvised.

Finn probably wouldn't inherent She-Ra

Thinking about Catra’s future role in the kingdom of Brightmoon

[kataradora]

Me watching all the she ra blogs turn into toh blogs overnight

[artofkace]

Baby Catra and Melog for a ko-fi request! look at these kittensss ;;w;;

[artofkace]

Glitradora powers-swap AU for a ko-fi request! 

Glimmer thought being She-Ra was great for 4 hours, but now she doesn’t know how to transform back, Catra is holding onto/tied to them bc she’s been teleporting randomly, and they made Adora hold her tail because she kept hitting them with it. I love this idea xD

Screenshot redraw! (In a way, at least)

About Angella

one of the show’s writers:

I just wonder what kinds of ideas they had for bringing her back but decided not to due to lack of time. A rescue in space? Opening a new portal? Going under Bright Moon? Using the broken sword since it was the last thing she had touched?
