i think this is basically a tie between catra and adora. i think i find them both v relatable (and hot *insert im so very sorry emoji*) and i project onto them a lot. its the whole ‘abused by a parental figure’ thing. like w adora its the whole ‘ur the golden child! have fun feeling crushed by such expectations that you can never actually live up to and feeling like your only worth is the value you have to others’ AND her adhd which i admit i didn’t notice right away bc adora can come off p type a (and i think she is type a? huh. i’m not sure i really know what type a means) but damn. this girl got adhd. she got adhd levels of stupid and thats very sexy. love that. and also catra i just. relate so strongly to her abandonment issues and her destructive tendencies and being told ur worthless n not good enough but also secretly seeking validation and acceptance from people who have hurt u :(
also i really fucking love bow my dudes. the second i laid eyes on him i said i will love you like crazy forever. i don’t project onto him the way i do onto catra and adora but god damn he is the absolute best. he’s never done anything wrong in his life. i would trade my left pussy to be his friend. his friendship with adora is perhaps one of the best things on this show. i love how endlessly supportive he is of her. he will always be rooting for her and cheering her on when she’s crushing losers (sorry sea hawk i love u too and apparently ur asian so i love you more now than when i thought u were white) in arm wrestling. also the way bow just thinks catra is super cute absolutely adorable absolute baby who once tried to kill him several times <3 chef kiss
oh dude. this is like a fifty way tie. like every time these two bitches are on screen together the tension is palpable, love is in the air. yes we get it you two have been in love with each other ur entire lives. way to ruin it for the rest of us. some of my favorites include the lap sitting scene, the entirety of princess prom, every time they would run away from everyone else to fight in secret (gotta keep it hush hush!), every time there was a flashback scene where they were childhood best friends who were in love, every time we hear catra say ‘hey adora ;)’, that one time adora looked into a camera bot, KNEW catra was watching her somehow, said ‘hey catra ;)’ and then broke the camera, and every time she says ‘CATRA >:(’ and,,,, when catra jumped into fire for adora, when they pushed their beds close together and catra left so adora woke up almost immediately and ran after her, when adora woke up from a nightmare saw catra curled up in bed at her feet bc they weren’t dating then (and catra was supposed to sleep in the bunk bed on top of adora but she didn’t) and adora relaxed and smiled, when adora told catra I NEVER HATED YOU, when adora loved catra so much she transformed into she ra and beat up an army, when catra watched her transform and thirsted so hard, when.... fuck it, the entirety of s5, the entirety of heart part 1 and part 2 and just,,, bro. im so tired and they are living rent free in my head
i am secretly writing my own she-ra one shot so i have not read everything :( i have read a few tho. i tend to filter fics according to kudos. i won’t rec anything right now but since we know that noelle has uh..... allegedly written this fic (its number one in terms of kudos in the tag lmaoooo) i would like to recommend it because it genuinely really is good. honestly it should be the first fic any new fans of she-ra should read, to get the ball rolling!
