when she ra said "imperfection is beautiful" and when she ra said "vulnerability doesn't make you weak" and when she ra said "you made me in your image, but i am more than that" and when she ra said "my attachments, my friends, are a part of who i am" and when she ra said "and now, i choose to be brave" and when she ra said "it's hard being friends sometimes, you gotta work at it" and when she ra said "friendship isn't a weakness, it's my greatest strength" and when she ra said "what good is all your power if you don't use it to help the people you love" and when she ra said-

She-ra and text posts part 8/?

Check out this awesome article about She-Ra, written by Maya Gittelman for Tor.com! (x)

In its very last act of subversion, She-Ra demonstrates how you don’t need either a bittersweet, half-tragic ending or a timeskip to deliver a satisfying finale—and their choices made it all the more cathartic. Let them come together in queer love, community, and joy. Let there be a wide open future brimming with hope and adventure, within reach. That’s how we save each other. That’s how we save the universe.

adora finally learns how to relax

[ohheyadora]

so I've had a Lot going on recently so I haven't been on here aghh sorry!!

[literaphobe]

this sends me so hard imagine you’re emo and you’re talking about something that makes you a little sad and your friend decides to comfort you by thumping his ipad on your head. his other hand is free. he could’ve easily petted you with his free hand. but then it works anyway and you smile. adora and bow’s friendship is something else man

[funereal-disease]

I’m starting to take issue with the popular line “I have no problem with characters doing bad things, as long as they’re explicitly condemned in-universe.”

Is it so awful to have to make that judgment for yourself? To be shown a morally gray or even totally black situation that isn’t presented like a sermon? You are allowed to come to your own conclusions about a character. An author’s failure to condemn problematic characters doesn’t mean they condone them. It means they’re asking you to make up your own damn mind. 

Also, I feel like it’s much closer to real life to see casually bigoted characters going ignored than to have them ham-fistedly called out for it at every turn. Because sometimes people who are racist are good people in other ways. Sometimes people who are explicitly anti-racist are terrible people in other ways. Because people are whole people, and I’m sick of the idea that authors have to explicitly condemn or condone them. My job as a writer is to depict people. Not to judge them. To let the audience do that for their damn selves.

Real people aren’t fed to us on black or white platters. Why should fictional ones be? 

[theunitofcaring]

I feel like these conversations would benefit tremendously from less prescriptive language. Like, imagine if instead of “I have no problem with characters doing bad things as long as they’re explicitly condemned”, that person went with “when a character is a bigot and faces no consequences in universe, that ruins the story for me”. That’s something that’s true for a lot of people, and something that it’s totally reasonable to complain about. It belongs in the same category as “relentless cynicism ruins a story for me” or “that weird thing where you have three male characters and three female characters and they’re very conspicuously Paired-Off Love Interests ruins a story for me” or “economics that seem implausible ruin a story for me”. People are allowed to have their dealbreakers!

But it’s a mistake to go from “this thing isn’t pleasant for me and I avoid it” to “it’s bigoted/ignorant/wrong/evil to write that thing”. There are hella competing needs in the world of fiction. There are people who need independent characters who scorn romance and people who need healthy supportive romantic relationships and people who need unhealthy manipulative disasters of romantic relationships. There are people who need honest narratives about bigotry that faces no consequences, there are people who need stories set in a world that feels a little more just. Sometimes the same person needs conflicting things at different times!

 You cannot write a story that won’t make someone go “oh, ugh” and you shouldn’t feel obliged to try. And so we need space for peoples’ “oh ugh” to be valid and legitimate and yet not a veto.

thinking about how openly lovestruck adora's gonna be after a lifetime of repressing her feeling to a subconscious level

Personally, i think Miss “Did You Just Jump Into Fire For Me” would be really fucking obnoxious about it

AJ and Aimee recorded the original script in a stream, and we learned that Adora would go for it first. Then Noelle posted an after kiss scene that got cut off, and we lost it. So I boarded it! Mixing both of these plus what happened in canon and ta-da!
