ok so fine no s/exual content, whatever, but they’ve repeatedly flagged a bunch of my posts as explicit because their algorithm is wonky. like my CHILDREN’S COLORING PAGES for example.

so, once pillowfort comes back up, I might start crossposting there.

horrible (read: great) idea if that theory is true–what if catra finds out that shadow weaver has been erasing adora’s memories around the same time that entrapta finds out that her friends had thought she was dead? 

a-dauntless-daffodil:

i can’t believe Glimmer had to deal with this right after almost losing Adora to Shadow Weaver

what must have been like? To save Adora from the side of evil, from the woman who’d terrorized her since she was a child, from having her mind messed with by magic

and then suddenly it’s the GOOD side that’s trying to take Adora away? It’s Light Hope that’s messing around in Adora’s head? And this time Glimmer has no way of saving Adora no way of even trying to fight for her

She can’t reach Adora at all, so she just hugs her close and tries to hold onto her the only way she can

OKAY BUT LIKE

IF THAT THEORY IS TRUE

HOW IS CATRA GOING TO REACT TO THIS REVELATION?

this whole time, she’s felt like adora abandoned her, on the presumption that, y’know, adora remembers everything.

isn’t it interesting how the “i promise” memory was only seen when catra was alone? almost as if…adora doesn’t have that memory. 

basically, how would catra process that a) adora didn’t break the promise because her memory of it had been erased; b) adora only failed to recognize the true extent of the horde’s evil despite what they did to catra because shadow weaver fucked with her head to make sure she’d stay in line

it’s something that i’ve seen a lot of people criticize adora for–that she somehow only realized the horde was Bad, not when they hurt her best friend, but when they hurt a bunch of strangers. i understand the criticism, even though i think we need to account for adora also being abused, albeit in a different way. adora isn’t perfect.

but god, what if that doesn’t even actually apply to adora?

and it would make so much sense, because of course shadow weaver would want to make sure her golden child stayed in line.

Or, i tie a bunch of stuff together bc i like to feel pain sometimes even and especially when the thing causing me pain almost certainly isn’t canon, yay!

Point One – Exploring Shadow Weaver’s room as kids

Catra is curious

Running around, getting a good look at the Black Garnet, poking at it. This room is fascinating to her and even after getting zapped by the Garnet she just stands there sucking on the finger, doesn’t hunch down or look particularly worried  

The one who says that maybe they should leave? Is stammering as she says it?

Adora

And Adora is scared
