Chapter 4
"Catra's eyes open at that, it doesn't feel like she has crossed any lines and Catra's expression certainly doesn't give anything away. She takes a shaky breath and leans closer to rest her forehead against Catra's. There's a slight change in her breathing but she doesn't react other than that..."

Happy international lesbian day!!

[ID: a digital drawing of Catradora in their future designs. Adora is holding Catra bridal style and they are both smiling and blushing. The background is a soft, less saturated and blurred lesbian flag. The second drawing is the same, minus the lesbian flag. /end ID]

To this day, I am still rooting for a She-Ra Movie. My interest had never wavered. Your reasons may be different than mine, but for me, it's about closure.
Yes, certainly, we had a conclusion and can assume, probably with some great degree of confidence, of what would happen next for team BFS and SPT.
But there are so many stories to tell.
I DO want to see more CatrAdora. Just in general. I want to see them as inseparable as Spinnerella and Netossa. I want the tension between them when they argue as a couple.
But I also want to see them older. Like their ages in the 50s. I want to see Adora restless because she has a constant need to lead or fix something and Catra with a constant need to strategize a simple solutions to a complex problem, have the arguments that ensue, and then come to the conclusion that yeah, she was actually right. "25 years of you doubting me, and I still got it, Sparkles" and then Glimmer would groan because she knows she's right and she hates that.
I WOULD like to see a mission to rescue Angella. The immortal queen stuck BETWEEN realities. Or better, you'd see like 3 frames of Angella in the background implying she WAS already rescued and the story how they did that is just in the murals of the hallways that some character runs down so you'd have to go frame by frame to catch it.
I would love to see their growth. I would love to see them in more control but still handling the chaos of the universe. "Babe wake up, a new horde bitch just dropped" and adora just snorts away and mumbles frr honor of siiiiiigh sssskulll tomorrow okay? and rolls back to sleep.
I really just need more. I need to know more about the she-ra universe too.

At the risk of starting a discourse, but it is odd how the prevalence of same sex ships is swapped in western cartoons.
Like, m/m ships are in general more visable and prevalent in western culture than f/f both in terms of couples established canon and fandom shiping.
However looking at the cartoon/western animation scene recently, Sapphic Ships are far more prevalent. Korrasami, Bubbline, Lumity, Ruby/Sapphire, Catradora, Harlivy, Rose/Jukela etc. There is a relative shortage of m/m shipping. Gumlee (which ofc is genderswapped Bubbline), Troy/Benson in Kipo, Marc/Nathaniel. There are more but you pretty quickly are digging into background characters or relatively small fandoms. F/f ships are absolutely more likely to get big in the cartoon fandom.
This is by no means exhaustive of course, and also by no means a criticism. Just an interesting inversion of the typical fandom dynamics.

The Ultimate OTP Trio Dynamic Poll!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Explanation under the cut for a deeper explanation:
Tired Investigator X Parasite:
One of them works in a field that involves investigating crimes, they have a failing relationship, are messy looking, and a hidden dark side they try to repress in order to be normal (that is, until Parasite enters the picture).
The other is a dangerous villain often referred to as some sort of parasite due to how their influence drains the tired investigator of any good outside of them.
This is the Hannigram/Symbrock/Villanelle blunt rotation.
Emo Furry X McDonald's Forehead:
Once upon a time, I decided to make a series of posts comparing the cinematic paralles between Catra/Adora's relationship and Batman/Jokers relationship. I started the McDonald's Forehead X Emo Furry as a way to sort any more posts I made on their relationships due to Joker/Adora having large foreheads that formed an arch similar to the Mcdonald's logo; and with Batman/Catra, well you know...
But then, I began to notice similarities between Batman/Ekko and Joker/Jinx respectively. I started to connect the dots, and thus decided to add Ekko and Jinx to the McDonald's Forehead X Emo Furry dynamic due to Ekko having a gritty aesthetic with animal symbolism, and Jinx's arched hairline.
But I should probably give a similar explanation for these relationships like I did for the other dynamic.
Ok, one is a fighter with a tragic upbringing that forced them to learn how to professionally fight, and how to protect others from harm. They're a leader in their respective groups, and they rebel from their respective systems due to said systems being run by corrupt people.
The other is a chaotic gremlin with campy flair, obvious mental issues, an unhealthy lack of fear for death, crummy backgrounds, a desire to be loved while causing havoc, and intelligent planners despite how their appearance would contrast this fact.
These two come together and form a Yin Yang bond in the battlefield; along with the themes of how people respond to similar traumas completely differently. Featuring light and dark symbolism!

thinking about why queerbaiting can so often be way more engaging than canon queer relationships and i think it's because becoming 'representation' pretty much universally makes a relationship worse.
queer representation has to be perfect and wholesome to be 'good rep', and has to be explicitly in the source material as soon as possible so that the creators get credit for it. this isn't always bad, but it's just not that exciting, and lends itself more to background characters than protagonists.
however, queerbating (or just ship bait in general) both has to work harder to convince you these chracters should be together, and has to keep you on the edge of your seat in terms of the will they/won't they. since the characters aren't canonically queer or in any sort of a relationship, they don't need to have a healthy relationship, just an interesting one that will get people writing fanfic and what not.
this is part of the reason i think catradora worked so well. since up until the very end nothing was confirmed, there was no burden of 'good rep' and their dynamic was allowed to develop naturally and be messy. additionally, there was a lot more tension because no one knew if they would become canon, and it wasn't just a matter of when.
anyways all this is just to say i think more stories (especially serialized ones) would benefit from holding off on confirming queer relationships a little longer. let them be characters first, let fans speculate and get excited, and then give a confirmation later on once fans are already invested and you've built up some tension.

Opinion: Every yuri ship now is just "they comfort eachother with puppy dog eyes then hug" and it's extremely boring
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
There is a post criticizing Hazbin Hotel that is circulating, which more or less points out how sex in the show is not only used for only comedy or drama, but still only something for men. Charlie and Vaggie are girlfriends, they've been in a relationship for three years, they sleep in the same bed, but the two have no sexual chemistry. The most I can think of is Charlie admiring Vaggie's wings with a "they look niiiiiice 😏".
While I don't agree with the conclusion (that it's a problem that Angel is a slut who is ruining himself through sex and has to be redeemed by a pure sexless person - I think it's more complicated than that), I have to concede that Chaggie is just the latest one in a long list of sapphic couples that are very sanitized, and thanks to that post I noticed that I haven't seen many steps forward.
The trend is noticeable. While m/m official couples are still rare, f/f couples have become increasingly commonplace, even in children's media, but they're usually safe enough because women can hold hands and kiss, but anything more than that and it's suddenly fetishizing I guess. There are some exceptions like Catradora, but uhhhh I have reservations about that one lmao. (SU has also some exceptions in the form of Rosepearl, which was much more complex and ultimately something Pearl had to move on from, and Jaspis, which was a very rare depiction of f/f abuse even if it only for one episode. SU is a bit of an outlier with its nearly all female cast, though)
The message is obvious. Men, gay men in particular, are inherently sexual, so they're still a taboo, to keep in the background at best. Women are nice and palatable and good representiation tokens as long as they are not too sexy :) (even if that sexiness is just, idk, implying they have a private life or find each other hot)
From what I read here, this trend is also present in fandom, where it's all about that forbidden yuri and that lesbian longing and that hand holding and those deep unfathomable emotions but you better not cross the line into porn because, well, women don't love women like those dirty men do :^) we are purer than that :^)

Pairings: Adora/Catra (Catradora), Background Scorfumtrapta. Fandom: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018).
Rating: M? Chapters: 1/? (Ongoing). Words: 3.7k so far.
Summary: Catra is still warming up to the marina – which is to say it’s wearing down her hatred little by little because that’s so much work to feel five times a week – but Adora coming by every day with a smile and skintight wetsuit on is doing a lot to turn her opinion of the Bay around. When she moved out here, she never expected to find her old best friend again, but slowly her entire opinion of the beach is turning around. Not that she wants anything to do with the sand, but her childhood crush surfing in a bikini? That’s worth sticking around for. (Beach Town AU)

Queer rep is not a vacuum
There is so much debate over what is and is not queer rep and it seems to change with each new show. For this I’m going to explore four series that I’m personally a fan of and break down their rep individually ;LOK, SPOP, TOH and Arcane. I will do it this way because Queer rep is not a vacuum.
It is first important to understand the perspective I’m coming at from this: so Yaama, if you don’t know me I’m a queer [Enby and Demi sexual lesbian]and indigenous [Australian] writer; I mainly write about queer people for queer people. I also want to say that I am not bashing any of these series, I love them all.
1. Korrasami
Korra and Asami have a slightly rocky relationship when they first meet but they become fast friends. Both characters are confirmed Bisexual and their relationship is far more obvious from a  queer perspective. They are far less explicit than other shows on this list but that is due to studio censorship.
The ship itself is really sweet. Both women are close and support each other with Korra writing to only Asami at one of the roughest times of her life.
This ship, being the first queer rep in Avatar, followed by Kya being confirmed as a lesbian, gets a lot of flack for being too subtle and not built up enough. As much as I do not like Some writers on the Avatar team, I do genuinely believe they were trying their best here.
The ship itself isn’t problematic and came at a time when there was little rep in mainstream media, let alone kids media. While it has it’s issues, it is some of the first rep kids in my generation saw. Sue me, I’ve got nostalgia.
2.SPOP
This is a contentious one but it cannot be denied that SPOP was full of Queer rep. Spinetossa, catradora, None of the princesses were straight and Double Trouble.
SPOP is unashamed of it’s queer rep and as world where no one is straight, no one is homophobic. This provides escapism that we as queer people sometimes need.
While Catradora has it’s criticisms, it’s a beautiful ship that underpins the narrative  and drives the plot. to call it “toxic” or “abusive” ignores the nuance of the story.
Spinetossa is a solid relationship that provides fluff and comedic relief in the darker episodes. they’re background characters but the nature of their relationship is clear from the start. they’re always together, they wear chokers with each other's colours . From the get go, before we even hear the cute nicknames we know they are a unit. 
Double Trouble , while  stemming from a problematic trope, is a solid character with complexities and comedy gold to spare. While the trope of making nonbinary characters non human is dodgy at best in a show where cis characters are also not human they don’t stand out too much so they can have a pass.
3. TOH
TOH is also unashamedly queer, Eda, Raine, Willow’s dads, Lumity, Edric.I’ve also seen commendations on the Neurodivergent rep  but that’s not my place.
Disney was obviously trying to censor things earlier on but around late season two A Dana stopped giving a shit and good for her. We got Edric having a partner, to quote his sister Emira “ After he accidentally sent  a love poem to THEIR mum”. Love that for him. The first Lumity kiss and them getting together and everything after it.
Willows dads’, minor and cliched as they may be do not come of a tokenistic, a nice change from other shows there the Mc’s best friend’s queer parents is often some of the only rep.
And Raine, a nonbinary person, who while not quite human isn’t an alien/robot/demon/spirit. They’re also a prominent character and their relationship with Eda is just a delight.
Cool Aunt Lilith, AroAce queen and all the flags in season three and it’s only the first episode.
there are some issues with Luz dating her friends ex bully but they address it and smooth it over.
4.Arcane
The biggest thing to come out of Arcane was CatVi/Violyn. I’ve seen some people ship Caitlyn and Jayce but that’s a small group.
Both character’s are confirmed as lesbians.While I love Luz I do find that lesbians do often get left behind in representation or claimed as Bi when they aren’t.
there’s not much else in terms of queer rep for Arcane but it’s very clearly a world where homophobia isn’t an issue.
The CatVi relationship is also important to the story and builds up over the first season. the show isn’t concerned with it but it’s nice to see.
All this to say, Queer rep isn’t a vacum, just because one series shows wholesome queer people and another shows messy,complicated queer love does not make either superior to the other. To put wholesome queer relationships over messy ones perpetuates respectability politics. Both can be good queer rep, both can be bad queer rep.
