1. My take on their canon relationship:
THEYVE COME SO FAR!!!!!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I actually really love the sequence of their relationship in canon. For all of season 1 and 2, I saw them as foils to each other, actually. Scorpia, the princess who will never claim her throne because it has been stolen from her, Glimmer, who should never have claimed her throne because her mother never should have left it. They’re both very friendly and spunky people, but also should NEVER be underestimated in a fight. They’re navigating this new, close friendship with Catra/Adora for the first part of the series, and they both take a very “bullrush it and it’ll work out fine” approach. Glimmer must overcome her internalized inadequacies that come from the mentality that she’s “JUST a princess” and won’t ever be like her mother, and Scorpia must overcome her internalized inadequacies that come from the fact that she’s a princess at all, raised in the Horde where princesses are MONSTERS, Vicious Violent Instigators. Neither ever had that many friends, just Bow for the longest time, for Glimmer, and Scorpia... Scorpia had no one. They have a hard time fitting in. They can come off as intimidating, either due to Scorpia’s appearance or Glimmer’s aggressive passion for everything she does.
3. Reasons why I do/don’t ship them;
They’ve walked such similar paths, internally, for being raised in such entirely different situations. And, like, look at them. They’re sweet. I know Glimmer was manipulating Scorpia in that situation, but the thing about Glimmer (and Catra) is that she uses the TRUTH as her weapon of choice. She meant every word she said. And Scorpia, she just wants to help people. And Glimmer, she’s willing to do anything she has to to help people, to end this war that neither of them wants to be fighting. They see each other first, as worthy opponents, and then, as worthy friends. ALSO! GLIMMER! IS THE FIRST PERSON! IN CANON! TO INITIATE A HUG WITH SCORPIA! Every other hug we see, Scorpia’s always the one to hug first, and yeah, okay, technically Scorpia hugged Glimmer, but then she let her go and backed off and GLIMMER! HUGGED! HER!
Also Enemies to lovers trope, we all know I’m weak.
Glimmer “You know what this means? MAKEOVER TIME!*~*~*~*” of Bright Moon and Scorpia “Tried on three dresses just to feel pretty and have fun before going to prom” of the Desert Throne ABSOLUTELY DO MAKEOVERY THINGS TOGETHER! Scorpia’s in Bright Moon now! She’s gotta get the Horde symbol off her back!!! SOMEONE GIVE MY GIRL A BLOUSE AND A SKIRT C’MON PEOPLE IT’S TIME TO UPDATE ANOTHER WARDROBE!!!!!
Glimmer absolutely spoils Scorpia ROTTEN
(actually.... sugar mommy glorpia au would be so cute....)
