I’ve been missing them a lot lately 💗
damn i wish u guys could read this fic i haven't written and this fic i haven't finished writing and this fic i'm putting off outlining and this fic i outlined but haven't started and this fic i'll never write and this other fic i haven't written and this fic that exists only in vague impressions in my head that fall apart every time i try to commit them to the page and th
Obviously (OBVIOUSLY) I’m glad that no serious harm ever befell Wrong Hordak. I’m glad Prime never tried to get him back. He’s baby and must be protected at all costs. If Prime ever hurt or kidnapped him I’d be seeing red and I’m so grateful nothing like that happened to him.
That said.
Is it…a little heartbreaking to anyone else that Prime + the other clones never even mentioned him or pointed out his absence?
They either didn’t notice he was missing or didn’t care.
He spent until Krytis thinking he was still worthy and helpful to Prime, that his brothers loved him. And. They didn’t even notice/care.
And I’m not sure which would be worse.
On one hand, the day Entrapta stole/adopted him was very chaotic, She-Ra came back, the group killed at least 20 clones (between Glimmer bombing the room with all those unconscious clones and Darla bursting in I don’t even want to know the casualties), and they attacked the cloning room he came from, so it makes sense that Prime didn’t bother counting losses or which clones were gone. So maybe he didn’t notice. Which is still sad because between that and the clone Adora/the Princess Alliance snatched in first episode of season five, it makes me wonder if it isn’t uncommon for clones to go missing. If societies that’ve been hurt by Prime catch and torture them. If he doesn’t bother counting.
The alternative also hurts. It’s that he saw the rebellion drag a clone onto their escape ship and noticed he couldn’t see him (possess him), and just…didn’t care. If he did care, it would’ve been more about being angry they found a way to separate clones from the hivemind, and that he has to replace the one they stole. On no level did he ever try to get Wrong Hordak back, because he simply sees individual clones as worthless and easily replaced, especially since he’s now ‘broken’. He didn’t care what they did to the poor clone, it wasn’t worth the effort to get him back.
It just. Pains me. A lot. That Wrong Hordak was still so loyal to Prime and his brothers for a few months and they either didn’t even notice he was gone or didn’t care what happened to him.
Angel spacebat baby let me hug him.
While we’re at it I’d like to kick Prime in the crotch. Stop abusing the cute babies. Square up evil man.
this gif is so fuckin funny btw i'm cryign
I’ve never watched she-ra this was a gift for a friend
Which of the following animated series in the same genre of ATLA do you like the best?
Arcane: League of Legends
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Amphibia
The Dragon Prince
The Owl House
Voltron: Legendary Defender
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts
Steven Universe
RWBY
Show results
I didn't include Gravity Falls, since I think it's part of a different genre.
Edit: to clarify what "genre" means here, obviously some of these shows are very different. However, I feel like they are all part of a resurgence in Western Cartoons that largely happened due to ATLA. When deciding which shows to include, there were three criteria I used:
Is the show made by ATLA alumni
Do the show's creators say it was heavily influenced by ATLA?
Is a show centered around action, adventure, complex character dynamics, and worldbuilding?
This isn't an exact science, of course. I put Arcane on here largely because a lot of ATLA fans seems to absolutely love it. And I wasn't certain if I should include Steven Universe or Kipo here.

Sometimes thinking about the Best Friends Squad friendship makes me wanna cry
They showed Adora such love and support and made her feel so accepted and safe
She trusts them sm, and she knows she's loved
In early seasons they're always checking on her, making sure she's okay, helping her with things she doesn't understand and UGH it just gets me

so fucking humbling to be like “no I like that character a normal amount” and then you can literally feel your heart rate spike at a mention of them like a dog that just heard the word “treat”
Mermista: So you all have natural hair colours?
Perfuma: Only ever!
Mermista: That's a natural purple?
Entrapta: Technically "dusty pink", but, yes! It's the same as all my other body hair! *holds out arm and wiggles arm hair*
Mermista: That's freaky, don't ever do that again. And you over there, you also have natural pink?
Spinerella: Yep, me too!
Glimmer: I could have told you that!
Mermista: Of course you do, miss "sparkly pink glowy eyes".
Glimmer: Hey!!!
Mermista: So EVERYBODY here has natural hair? Nobody used hair dye?
Adora: Your hair isn't actually blue?
Mermista: Of course it isn't! My hair is black. I get it done at the Salineas backstreet parlour where it's washed gently in the best ingredients, then dyed in Deep Sea Blue, then highlighted in Powder Wave Aqua and River Arch Aqua. It's a whole thing, needs like six products a day to maintain.
Glimmer: You kept that up during the prime invasion...? And while *chipped?*
Mermista: Nothing can take my hair dye away from me, hun.
Netossa: *raises hand* I bleach my hair. Stormy silver.
Mermista: THANK you.
Frosta: *raises hand* I want to dye my hair
Mermista: *sighs* At least you're not pink.
Frosta: I want to dye my hair pink and purple!
Glimmer: Absolutely fucking not.
Plotwist: horde prime also bleaches and dyes his hair. Thats how he recognized Mermista's wasnt natural and went "oh cant let this get ruined" and had chipped mermista still maintain it
Wait, so Hordak doesn't dye his hair blue, that's his natural fucking hair colour!!!!
FINAL — Match 1 of 1
Nimona (Nimona)
Identity: Genderfluid, implied Notes: When Ballister calls her a boy, she responds with “I am today.” When she’s referred to as a girl, she says, “I’m not a girl. I’m a shark.” Described as her gender not being fixed by ND Stevenson. Propaganda: N/A
vs. Murderbot (The Murderbot Diaries)
Identity: Asexual and Agender, explicit Notes: Directly identifies as genderless and uninterested in sex in-text, later reaffirmed by Martha Wells. Propaganda: "MURDERBOT MY FAVORITE PROTAGONIST POSSIBLY EVER. A "construct" of mixed human/robot parts, it is a snarky anxious loyal bitter mess of a person who is still kind of grappling with the idea that it IS a person and what that actually means for itself and its place in the world. Aroace feelings more relateable than most characters "deliberately" written to be aroace imo, it resonates with me intensely. Partially because it's just, a really good character with a really strong character voice. I have read these books probably more times than any other books because I'm like I want to hang out with Murderbot my friend Murderbot"
Who should win?
Nimona
Murderbot
