Okay, splitting out my responses to @the-entire-cast-needs-therapy reply here to at least try to manage the thread...
To be clear, people in the Etherian Horde are definitely hooking up in closets or some shit. Just because it’s not Horde Approved Sex doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Hahaha. Yeah; I tend to get, uh, excessively verbose, but one of the underlying thesis for most of my headcanons is "society is not built from the top down".
It's not 'Person at the top created a comprehensive ~plan~, and it slorped into everyone's brains and now they follow it rigidly forever.' Social rules come from the bottom up, a set of conventions built out of shared beliefs, values, and circumstances; they're emergent from the collective needs and wants of their component citizenry. They're messy and flexible and half-invisible, layers of unspoken assumptions that rarely get unpacked, and while they react to top-down decrees, they don't blithely mirror them.
I definitely think Hordak would find a place to at least include reproductive sex if he had any sense [...] but the Horde is a fucking mess from top to bottom, so I also wouldn’t be surprised if he just didn’t think of it.
I haven't specifically mentioned Hordak because (a) ref. the above on how he can't actually make anyone do shit and (b) yeah, the entire "the Horde is a dumpster fire, and Hordak is the trashheap-in-chief" thing.
I don't think he has an official policy on sex, because I don't think it's ever really occurred to him that "official policy" is a thing he can do. Like, the vast majority of his 'leadership' is literally just him throwing tantrums. Something goes badly, he lashes out at the most convenient target, has a cathartic sulk, and within a day or two has completely forgotten the "rule" he made up to justify his ad-hoc punishments. The thought does not enter his head that he's creating a set of unattainable, self-contradictory 'policies'.
((It's why he's such an incredibly erratic, shitty boss. "Don't ever fuck up!", "Don't come to me for guidance!", but also "How dare you hide this problem from me!". Ffs, no wonder no one wanted Shadow Weaver's job before Catra.))
That said, my general headcanon is that Hordak thinks of sex as "just one of those weird/gross/degenerate things non-clones do", and thus not his problem. It's not like he could convert non-clones to Prime's ways of purity, so he has no reason to stick his (lack of) nose in.
(Except for a prurient curiosity he would absolutely definitely never admit to having. Absolutely never. No matter how pretty Entrapta looks when a project works.)

cats, couch-surfing, and going insane politely
June 7th, 2023
The reality of the last couple weeks of my life is the reality of many, if not most weeks of my life, which is that I've had very little energy to write much of anything.
I'm currently staying with friends down south, hunting for jobs, and sleeping on couches. Which I could romanticize, but I won't. I could also say it's terrible, which would be a lie. I love being around my friends, living in the city, and taking a risk. I feel very taken care of. I'm not suffering, Just not very stable. Time has a kind of floating, nervous quality that it always does during transitional periods. Having energy to feel like a person is hard. Having energy to create is impossible.
I did write one-half of a ten-minute play tonight, though. Ten pages in script writing format. This does not contribute to any of the projects I should be working on, but whatever. It felt nice. Safe. My friends' kitten, Cricket, was a fantastic writing partner and wonderful inspiration.
Tumblr media
(He is biting my fingers and laptop as I type this.)
This ten minute play thing is extremely reassuring. In the past, when I've been insane with worry, I've stopped writing entirely, which exacerbates the problem. Being able to write anything at all is a beautiful, beautiful sign.
I'm thankful for my friends. I'm thankful for myself. I'm thankful for couches. I'm thankful for cats. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait to have a day job again.

The president of the Royal Shakespeare Company, King Charles III, may be bemused by the company premiering, pre-Coronation, a play about an English king in a contentious second marriage and in which an “oath of loyalty” becomes an issue. Republican mischief seems unlikely: Cymbeline was scheduled as the RSC farewell to departing artistic director Greg Doran, who is finally staging the only Shakespeare play to elude him.
...Doran’s book points out that Cymbeline holds the record for asides in Shakespeare, 10 characters catching our eye. Doran uses these intimacies to engage the audience, also raising the possibility that Shakespeare had reached the end of theatre and was prophesying the interior perspectives of novels (still a century away in English). So troubling in this staging is Jamie Wilkes’ devilish Iachimo, creeping around a sleeping woman to collect sexual “evidence��, that it suggests Shakespeare sensing the hot breath of John Webster, who would own that dark tone.

If it's wrong to borrow Youssef Nagi from Al Simhara to put him in the bachelorette house, I don't want to be right.
