what adora did was incredibly brave and terrifying and right and amazing, and i’m so proud of her. even though shadow weaver always told her how amazing she was, that was under the condition that she was with them, with her. shadow weaver tells her later that adora was nothing before shadow weaver found her, but i think that the sentiment had been conveyed well before that point. it’s scary. thankfully, she has new friends to support her, and she ends up earning the love of the entire kingdom as she-ra–and eventually, as adora. 

still, it kills me to look at this and compare it to how catra is dealing with this. adora was her whole life–no one else even likes her at the horde–and all she knows about herself, because of what shadow weaver has been telling her since she was a child, is that she’s worthless without adora. so…now what? i’m really glad that scorpia showed up, because without her, catra would have been even more of a miserable wreck than she is now.
