She-Ra Shipping: Adora x Catra | Catradora!

You Deserve Better

She-Ra fanfiction Adora & Hordak No warnings, a quiet piece.  Summary: Sometime after the last war, Bright Moon is having one of their many "just because" parties. Adora, just a little bit tipsy on the adult beverages, wanders out to one of the gardens for air. There, she meets Hordak, who is also taking a breather. Conversation between the two is perhaps uneasy, given their past - but it's been years since Hordak tried to take over anything more significant than a fruit-platter. Catra, too. Tensions remain, however, in these years afterward. Adora and Hordak hear the whispers told about them and their respective partners. On A03. (Need to be a member to see).  https://archiveofourown.org/works/40679496  (apologies for mislabled tag earlier.  One of my tags was “with pictures of entrapdak cuddling” or something like that and I did  not mean to have that tag. I think I got an autofill and didn’t notice it right away.  The fic is un-illustrated). 

-Welcome to Snowkit's page, but you can call me Snowcreek-

My strawpage if you want :)

Hello there, I'm Snowkit, you can call me Snowcreek, I'm a Warrior Cats fictive who's fictosexual. I'm dipping my paws publicly into the selfship community! I use he/him and xe/xir, with xe/xir most preferred(even though I forgot that on my strawpage) and am genderfaun.

I selfship with Mermista from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and wish for Merhawk/Seamista shippers, Catraadora shippers, JK Rowling supporters, and those who believe fictives are just as bad as their source counterparts, to not interact with me.

I plan on posting stuff about what it's like being a fictosexual fictive.

My ask box is open btw, if you have any questions, but keep in mind I have social (and just general) anxiety, and so may struggle with responses to asks sometimes, but that's also why I made this blog to be more social!

This is also a sideblog to a main blog, so I'll be on anon on others accounts either signing off as Snowkit or with the emojis 🐈🌨️

so I started watching she-ra

When you Realise what she always meant...

Catra to Adora: This doesn't mean I like you! ALSO Catra to Adora: Don't you see! I LOVE YOU! I ALWAYS HAVE! Well, like duh, "like" and "love" can be two separate things and Catra proved that with her confession. That is why she is always denying she "likes" Adora. I mean, she LOVES Adora. There is a difference.

How I wound up shipping Entrapdak.

What a long, strange trip it’s been.   So, I was watching a video essay that covered the ship-warring and the false assumptions that people do on why people ship the things they do in this fucking toxic fandom.  I’ve been in a few fandoms that got gnarly in the past, but I’ve never, EVER been in a truly toxic fandom until I got into Spop. It really blindsided me and continues to surprise me every day.  Still here, though.  I’m stubborn.   I’m... wondering how I got to mainly shipping an M/F ship (or possibly “Other” / F ship considering that one half of the ship is an alien-clone-cyborg) in a very queer-geared show where the main ship is F/F.   It’s not because I’m “lesphobic” or whatever whine some people might want to lob my way.  Analyzing it, it comes down to character-interest.  I like Catraadora. I saw it as the obvious ship from the beginning, as in, if it didn’t become endgame, I’d have been surprised as Hell (although I was thinking that Glimmadora endgame was a possibility when Catra was really going off the deep end).    I haven’t done much in the way of Catraadora fanwork, however, because, for me, it’s just there. I like it, but somehow, it didn’t become the primary ship I was interested in, despite it being the main ship of the show.  And the more I think about it, the more it boils down to individual character-interest, as it does with everything else I ship in every other fandom I’ve ever shipped in.   The character I fell in love with when I first watched Spop was Entrapta.  Flat out. I watched the show because I was a fan of Classic She-Ra from the 1980s. I went into it expecting that my old favorites would be my favorites again, namely Angella, Frosta and Adora.  I got utterly BLINDSIDED by the utter NEW THING they did with (originally minor character) Entrapta.   She was just... MAD SCIENTIST!  Bubly!  Hilarious!  Oh, oh... sadness...hidden depths... oh she’s so much like me in the socially-awkward can’t understand people and keep friends and is used to abandonment department....oh...sweetie... Yeah, pour yourself into your passions to make your hurt go away.... Ooooh!    Anyway, I freaking loved Entrapta and kept watching the show for HER.  I honestly...felt weird watching She-Ra because I didn’t think I was quite queer enough.  I’m a heteromantic asexual who used to have unfortunate church-attitudes (that I’ve since abandoned).  I felt like, as much as I liked the old show, the new show wasn’t written “for me,” let alone my age and it being a show for youth.    But... Entrapta existed.  And I liked the other characters, too.  Scorpia, in particular, was very much an improvement from the old.  But, yes, I was following Entrapta.  And in fanwork.  When I decided to take the leap into the creative fandom, something I was planning to avoid until a relative of mine fronted a fanfic idea about our favorite scientist and I just had to write it (”The Havoc Hypothesis” under Shadsie at Ao3 )... well, I found myself consuming fanfics and fanart centered on Entrapta.  And making some.   I was skeptical of shipping her with anyone at first, just because she just didn’t seem that “shippy” to me. However, I was reading all of the Pertrapta, Bowtrapta, Catrapta and Scorptrapta stuff I could get my eyeballs on because of the ‘Trapta.  And most of that got torpedoed when a crew-member let slip what Entrapta’s age was supposed to be.  But you know, for me, what I liked to engage with in ships with this fandom was all centered on THE CHARACTER I MOST LIKED.   I liked Adora and Catra, but, you see, they weren’t my favorites.  I had that ball of purple energy as my favorite.  So “any ship with her,” basically.   It’s like my various ships in other fandoms - they hinge on “character I LOVE x other character I LOVE or at least one character I like x character I tolerate that they have vibes with.”  And it mostly hinges on “I want content with the character I LOVE” in any positive context.   And then she met Hordak.   And I shipped it as crack.   I seriously didn’t think it was going to work out / become anywhere close to canon since, you know, queer show, “they wouldn’t really put a guy and a girl together in this, would they?  Okay, there’s some Glimmer and Bow shiptease and a little bit of Perfuma seeming to crush on Bow, but come on, the bad guy?”  I thought by Season 3 Hordak was going to be a turbo-jerk and Entrapta would go back to the princesses.   But I shipped it because... their interactions in Season 2?  PURE PINKY AND THE BRAIN VIBES!   I loved them hanging out together and doing mad science and just the back and forth with Entrapta refusing to have any fear whatsoever of the big scary robot bat-man.  And him getting so FLUMMOXED!   It was the height of comedy!  They were hilarious together!  It was a classic Evil Overlord x Mad Scientist pair-up!  And I read some cute and more romancy and drama fanfic about them.  I wrote a drama-laden / tragedy fic about them.  I decided to try to get into Hordak’s head a little, which, in working with just Season 2, meant just making up a bunch of shit about him. “Let’s get inside that evil dictator space-conqueror’s brain, shall we?”  I had fun there, with my headcanon version of him.   And it made me like him. I found a certain pathos in what I thought he was - some of which was drawn from his previous role, his previous self in the old series.  (He was sort of exiled in the original series, set out to conquer the backwater world as the family-failure).  I had this more dramatic version of that in my early fanwork, dealing with a theory I had that the First Ones and the Horde were originally people from Earth who’d modified themselves (running counter to original MotU mythos, but fitting with what I thought might be Spop reboot plausible backstory).   I didn’t really like Hordak at first.  I mean I did - as a scary, actual serious threat, improvement on the evil overlord thing from the original - he was a serious villain rather than a goofy one and I really liked that swagger, but I didn’t connect with him much outside of my primary interest in Entrapta and my headcanoned version of him to go along with their GOLDEN dynamic.  In other words, they had really good vibes and I suddenly had a viable ship with my favorite character.  And then Season 3 happened.  It was like some people’s fanfics.  And, WHOA! WHOA! HORDAK ACTUALLY AS A BACKSTORY NOW? AND IT’S A SAD ONE?  And he has crippling feelings of failure and the ability to self-sacrifice for someone he obviously cares about even if he might be in denial and it looks like the guy might actually have a bit of a heart under all that armor, and...wow, just wow, he’s kind of an idiot if he thinks he can just go back to an even eviler overlord a beefed-up version of the old Horde Prime who obviously demands utter perfection in this universe... and holy fuck, a processed clone-army? Oh, shit! This guy suddenly became INTERESTING!   And I started becoming as invested in him as I was in Entrapta.   And I had the two great tastes that tasted great together.   Character-interest.  Characters I love apart / on their own... who vibe together, therefore shipping.   And that’s it.  That’s how I found myself primarily shipping a guilty M/F ship in a F/F heavy fandom. (At risk to life and limb).   “They’re Hordak and The Hair, yes! Hordak and The Hair! One is a genius, the other’s just there! To prove the Horde’s might, they’ll bring the world to Light! They’re Hordak, Hordak and the Hair, Hair, Hair, Hair, Hair!”

Modern College AU:

Kallus, Zuko, and Catra are friends that are hanging at the local college’s bar. Became friends via a group project in a class and realized they all could be friends that are BAMFs.

Zuko/Aang

Catra/Adora

Kallus/Zeb

How the pairings got together:

ZukoAang

A simple Zuko was the angry loner and Aang tried to friend him at first and lashed out viciously no matter how hard Aang tries to the point Zuko is getting to violently aggressive. After Iroh gets custody of Zuko, since Ozai was declared to be unfit for raising children, the kid ends up doing time out of the toxic idea of what honor is. Gets out and gets himself a good therapist to help him heal from fucked up bullshit that Ozai put him through. Meets Aang again at the university, everything is awkward and strained on Zuko’s side, but Aang... he’s patient. Always so patient and forgiving no matter what. Zuko can’t help but fall in love. Thankfully, Aang has more balls than than Zuko and confesses first, much to Zuko’s absolute surprise. (The boy is DENSE, OKAY.) Panic happens, not because he doesn’t reciprocate, but how can AANG like him?! Cue a month or two of Aang patience®️ being stretched THIN, a therapist being exasperated and just wanting this boy to love another boy wholeheartedly, and then... of Zuko quakenly taking Aang’s hand and saying he doesn’t feel like he’s earned it, but he still wants him. SWEET ROMANCE AND COMMUNICATION THROUGH TOUGH TIMES AND INSECURITIES ON BOTH SIDES.

CatraAdora

Catra is 100000% someone who fell in with the wrong crowd (gang??) that Adora was apart of too. (Both grew up in a foster home of some sort) Adora realizes that this group is fucked up even though they’ve been with them for waaaay too long and bounces with the help of Bow and Glimmer. Tries soooo many times to get Catra to believe it too, but shadow weaver/Prime (w/e) have their claws too deep. Adora, With the help of Prime’s twin brother, Hordak, who got out because of his nerdy science geek girlfriend Entrapta, helped her see she’s better than that...better than the end of that bottle she’s desperate to drink enough so Catra can ignore the abandonment and hatred that fills her every day. Adora keeps fighting and says it’s what she has to do, no matter what. Cue a massive Gang fight that they both barely get out of, bodies bloodied and bruised, but they’re ALIVE. Oh my god they’re alive and Catra can’t help but wheeze out an I love you... of which Adora absolutely cries and hugs the life out of Catra shouting that she loves her too!! A loooong battle uphill with recovery (and how Kallus gets to know Catra better) but it’s worth it. Going to college and loving each other and GETTING TO LIVE THEIR LOVE!

KallusZeb

So, Kallus being the biggest dumbass got stupidly drunk and behind the wheel. Actions have consequences, and sadly that means he hit a car dead on, instantly killing the family inside... Zeb’s entire known family. Nooow, Kallus definitely did time for the drunk driving accident, just not as much as Zeb believed he deserved. Somehow they’re going to the same university/college, and no doubt Zeb is ENRAGED. Kallus on the other hand is finally starting to accept his responsibility for the death of Zeb’s family, and is absolutely ashamed of it of course, but he’s not going to kick himself until he’s nothing but a pile of guilt ridden anxiety (his nightmares do that enough). He’s actively trying to become a counselor or advocate for responsible drinking and driving (something like that). He accepts Zeb’s rage, but won’t cower from it.

Only reason Zeb starts to soften is he one finds out Kallus’ intentions annnnd Thrawn was being an absolute dick at a party to Kallus. (Not sure how far I want to take it... maybe trying to slip something into his drink for date rape or beating the shit out of him or SOMETHING, idk.) ANYWHO, Kallus and Zeb start hanging out and once some massive pining over a year happens, Zeb takes Kallus to meet his family (whether it’s his long lost grandmother and uncle or the family grave, something) ZEB ASKS THE GUY OUT WHICH HAS KALLUS A MESS AND HAPPILY SOBBING YES. ROMANCE WITH PLENTY OF MISCOMMUNICATION AND THEN COMMUNICATION, AND POSSIBLY ALCOHOL RELAPSE AND BREAK UP AND THEN A GET BACK TOGETHER THAT’S EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE.

Bar Buddies!!

Every time they go to hang out at their local bar, Kallus is the designated sober person all the time since he can’t bring himself to ever drink again after the accident and his rehabilitation incident.

Most of the time it’s nothing but laughs and plenty of stories, but once in a while it’s melancholy and full of comfort for any of them who need it. Who need to know that although they walk with demons, they also walk with friends who care. Often they barely get tipsy, all three of them knowing how dark alcohol can make all of them. But a night like tonight, where a nightmare of a project has yielded amazing results... the future looks a fraction brighter than usual. To them, the celebration is absolutely amazing with loud relief and excitement.

Maybe too much excitement in Kallus’ opinion. Especially once Catra loses her shirt and Zuko starts to sing at the top of his lungs... of which Kallus has NO DESIRE to even try and comprehend the drunken slurring. He isn’t as young as the both of them (five years can really make a difference...). Luckily enough, he has both Adora and Aang in a group chat for occasions such as this.

Zuko is really blushy and cuddly and loves that Aang came in his favorite “hole-y” shirt (think skater top with biiiig arm holes that Zuko gets to stare lovingly at Aang’s side abs) to pick up his boyfriend with their their shepherd dog Appa. Aang just sighs fondly and bids everyone a energetic goodbye as Zuko drapes himself over his bald, tattooed lover heading down the sidewalk.

Catra is LOUD. She doesn’t give two fucks about anyone in here... except for the blonde floof of hair that she’s currently messing up while Adora laughs brightly while carrying her crazy girlfriend out of the bar in a fireman’s hold. Adora has guns and is a massive amount of hot lesbian. Catra keeps saying how much she loves the hair poof of her big buff jock girlfriend SO LOUD. YOU HERE THAT ASSHOLES, SHE GOT HER JOCK AND HER JOCK LOVES HER BACK. Adora snickers saying how much she’s gonna hate herself come the morning.

Kallus isn’t expecting Zeb to be waiting outside of the bar, but softly smiles at his big hunk of a ratty boyfriend. Zeb snorts at the display of younger students and their partners while throwing an arm around Kallus’ shoulders. FOREHEAD KISSES ABOUND! One of Kallus’ hands goes in butt pocket and the other interlaces with the dangling hand off of his shoulder. They walk back to their apartment making comments about the youngins’ and how they’re good people etc etc.

KalluZeb have loving tender sex that night, AangZuko cuddle through the night and have sweet morning sex (even though Zuko does wake up with a hangover, but Aang has a special herbal [DISGUSTING] remedy that never fails) and CatraAdora cuddle through the night as well only to have Catra have a massive hangover and puking her guts out most of the morning, but her big jock girlfriend loves on her allllll day. END.
