I still stick with the, 'It was one final manip,' school of thought. At a point where Catra was coming back clearly to *save* Adora, and SW wanted her one last ounce of control to make sure Adora sacrificed herself, saying "I'm proud of you," in that moment in that context, was her way of making sure both of them did want she wanted: Ensured Adora Died Her Heroic(tm) Death, an extension of the Greatness(tm) SW felt she was instilling/training up in Adora this whole time, just like with Micah. And they did. The two did exactly what she wanted. What she didn't count on was, as C.S. Lewis put it, the Deeper Magic... in this story, the Deeper Magic was their love.

Yeah and that’s a totally legit take tbh

The "You're welcome." How many of us hear that, once we're grown. Never an acknowledgement, much less an acceptance or apology. But we do sometimes get the "You're Welcome" as though you aren't appreciative or recognizing of the things you're given rather have given them up a million times just to have not had to have suffered the other.

YEP. Thanks for doing that one good thing that helps the child you neglected and abused for years and then turning it into a guilt trip. It’s not even uncommon. I think that’s part of why Shadow Weaver is so despised in most of the fandom. Her particular brand of evil is so familiar and personal, it cuts deep in a way that hurts way more than some random evil dictator can hurt you.

I'm not the anon, but also, you are by far my favorite Tumblr poster/meta-er and your wall is the largest reason I actually log in to my personal account to check Tumblr anymore

Thank you, friend :)

how’s the neck pain from carrying around that ego? ;)

Ask anyone on Tumblr who I converse with on a regular basic and they will tell you I have terrible self-esteem and this is all just my author persona, whose calling card (much like her namesake) is being a witty asshole and showing affection by gently bullying people.

(but don’t worry i’m fine, really)
