i apologize for my glimmadora brainrot i just love drawing these two

Watching Boys' Night Out as a Seamista fan and focusing on that instead of the pain 🥲

Hello! I just saw ur post saying g hintlow is badly written in your opinion. Could you please tell me why you think so? I'm kinda curious?

I also didn't really like huntlow since it kinda came outta no where all of a sudden but what do you think??

*cracks knuckles* (just kidding lol)

Honestly, I just think H/untlow has several writing problems. I'll be pointing out the main reasons I think so under the cut. If anyone who follows me or comes across this post ships H/untlow, it's totally fine, just please don't send me hate for what I'll say here:

Hunter and Willow have nothing in common. The show forces the "half a witch" thing onto Hunter despite the fact he was never called that anywhere in the show, he's usually just called annoying or a brat. Besides, Hunter could be a metaphor for disability considering he doesn't have natural magic powers (until the show decided to kill off Flapjack, but I'll get into that later). However, Willow is not the case. She may not be good at abomination magic, but she's incredibly powerful with plant magic. But for some reason, the show treats these experiences as equals, even though that's a thing Hunter has more in common with Luz than Willow (and in this case I'm not talking through a romantic lens).

Hunter and Willow are out of character. Hunter, the prodigy and the emperor's right hand, becomes utterly pathetic and wimpy just so Willow can look like a badass girlboss. And Willow then just comes off as cruel sometimes. I appreciate Willow for being nice but also being a badass, but even then, Willow was never cruel prior to her meeting Hunter. She apologized to Luz when she realized she could've hurt her, and when Willow met Gus she was patient and understanding, teaching him a breathing technique to calm him down. I'm not saying Willow has to be overly nice, but she just randomly captures Hunter to make him join her flyer derby team. And at this point she doesn't even know that Hunter is the Golden Guard, so she just... attacks a random kid and scares him for no reason. Worse yet the fact that she drags him into the ground THE SAME WAY BELOS DOES in Hollow Mind. Even after Hunter tells her he's "half a witch", Willow isn't patient with him, she's just a brute again. Which is my next point:

Unhealthy power dynamic. Hunter refers to Willow as "captain", and it's honestly a red flag to me. I am NOT saying Willow is abusive. However, we have to remember that Hunter's abuser uses his position of power to mistreat him. Hunter looks up to someone who's not an equal to him and in turn, he does not value himself. And Willow never seems to realize it and explicitly say that she's not his leader, she's his friend. This pairing is basically the girlboss/malewife model, but not only does it not make sense, it's not healthy for Hunter to fall in love with someone who has power over him, and who might be paralleled to his abuser as I pointed out before.

Ruined character arcs. I think most of us agree that Hunter's character arc was unsatisfactory as he became another Caleb without ever processing it, but Willow was definitely done dirty as well. Willow never had her own episode, not even Understanding Willow was about her, it was more about Amity. Any Sport in a Storm also focuses more on Hunter. Even Gus had more character development than Willow, despite the fact he was also done dirty in the end. Willow's breakdown wasn't carefully developed, it was never hinted in Thanks to Them or anywhere before that. It came out of nowhere in For the Future, and in turn it just pushed Hunter's character (and Gus, literally) aside so he could save Willow. And this is yet ANOTHER point I hate:

Willow only reciprocates Hunter's crush when he gains powers. Seriously, for the longest time I didn't even think H/untlow was going to be mutual. Only Hunter seemed to be attracted to Willow, by blushing and being shy around her. Willow never seems to see Hunter in another light in the following episodes, not even in Thanks to Them despite them living with each other for months. That only happens in For the Future, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Like I said before, Hunter might be considered disabled, but his disability is "cured" with magic, and ONLY THEN does Willow fall for him. That contradicts the entire message of the show, which welcomes and celebrates disabilities.

And overall, Hunter and Willow never have a genuine emotional connection. Hunter has more connection and things in common with Luz, Gus, and even Amity (and sadly, his parallels with Amity were never really explored after Eclipse Lake). Hunter and Luz don't have magical powers. Hunter and Gus are both taken advantage of by others, and they have an identity crisis, not knowing how to trust themselves anymore. Hunter and Amity then, they were both raised in an abusive household and they're expected to be someone they're not, and they have to push everyone else down so they can be better. But Hunter and Willow don't share this kind of connection. They might touch on the "half a witch" thing but that never deepens. And in For the Future, it comes off as rushed, and Hunter has to push down his grief for Flapjack to save Willow. Not to mention Gus and Hunter never get to talk about Caleb - Gus always knew about Hunter's secret, and not even THAT gets a satisfying payoff because the show is more concerned in making H/untlow canon. But that would have to be its own post.

Sorry this got long, lmao. I have very strong feelings about how H/untlow was handled. I actually used to ship it at first, I think it COULD'VE worked. But they don't even seem to be close friends at the very least. It sucks because even R/aeda was written better despite the fact it had less screentime than L/umity. Sure, Eda and Raine were ex-lovers, but I thought their relationship was written very well for the most part. I don't know how the writers dropped the ball with H/untlow this way.

HI I HOPE YOURE DOING THE CAT THING STILL IF NOT THATS OKAY

i've barely started with the cat thing here

(tip the artist)

Trick or treat? 👉👈

|All Roads AU|

Catra sees Adora every day but they still have countless photos of each other, capturing moments that remind them of how much they love each other.

She got a bit carried away with the idea

18 for the Entrapdak ask meme please?

Your favourite Entrapdak CANON moment?

I think I have to go with the scene in Season 3 "Moment of truth" when Entrapta and Hordak talked about the portal and they just have to keep it open long enough to get a signal through to reach Prime.

Entrapta sadly: “And then you’ll have to go with them.”

Entrapta brightens up “But there’s still so much data we could collect. What’s the rush? We’ll just keep working on it until it’s perfect.”

This is definitely one of my favourite scenes since both of them choose each other over their normal convictions.

Entrapta who doesn't believe in perfection and rather run scientific experiments on trial and error ,even if everything keeps blowing up that way, suggests to work on the portal until it's "perfect"!

In other words she says "How about we set an unattainable scientific goal - the non existing and perfect theoretical way to make the portal work, but of course without focusing too much on achieving it practically while we just keep being together."

And let's talk about Hordak!!! He absolutely was aware of what she meant by using the phrase "until it's perfect" He started to genuinely smile at her because he agreed!! Over the last 30 years he only focused on returning to Prime but in this moment he realised that he doesn't want to return anymore and he was about to choose Entrapta over Prime. He was definitely about to say sth like: "How about we blow that thing up and rebuild it more considered (intends to use unisolated cables again)...

Ahh and then Catra rushed in! And a few minutes later Entrapta found herself unconsciously on the way to beast I island. I'll never get over this AHH

My second favourite scene is this one... I don't think I have to explain. This one just makes me scream!!!💜

Thank you so much for asking!!!!💜💜

lol get primed loser

[id: 3 sketches of entrapta possessed by horde prime and wearing his outfit. in one, she’s standing using her hair to elevate herself, and says “how do you like my new vessel, little brother?” in another, she’s using her hair to lift hordak off the ground and choke him. in another, she’s standing and talking while gesticulating. end id]

!!!

YOOO I LOVE THIS

how do you hate Bakugo and not catra. she's way worse than him.

*sigh*

Okay. I had a feeling I was gonna get this question eventually.

And you know what? It's fair. Catra's actions are worse than Bakugou's. If we're going off of morality alone, that would be one thing.

But these are fictional characters. As I've said before, I'm way less concerned with what they did and more interested in how the story handled it.

And don't misunderstand, the way Catra's were handled wasn't perfect. That's why I have complicated feelings about her. If I liked her or found her to be very well written, she would be in the same category as Aang and Rachel.

(I'm not a Catra anti because I looked into the anti Catra tag and found a cesspool. Bad take after bad take in that tag; it's a group I don't particularly want to be associated with. A good way to tell if you're anti any character is to see what their antis are actually saying)

However, there's a big difference in how the SPOP narrative treats Catra as opposed to how the MHA narrative treats Bakugou. Catra is always getting called out. Also, she actually had an abusive guardian, unlike Bakugou who was spoiled rotten. And her behavior has actual consequences. The narrative goes out of its way to say, "Yes Catra has a sad story, but she's still in the wrong."

And unlike with Bakugou who forced his victim to help him develop, Catra took it upon herself to own up to her actions and apologize. She had nothing to gain from helping Glimmer (was way worse for it), but did so because she had looked at her past behavior (of her own accord) and realized on her own how wrong she was. Then made the effort (the actual effort, not just a feeble apology) to fix it.

I really don't hate Catra's redemption. I think it could have been better and I don't think she should have ended up with Adora, but I never thought it was bad. Especially in comparison to Bakugou's. There was genuine effort put into Catra's character that just wasn't there with Bakugou's

the audacity of the princesses (mainly perfuma and mermista) to say that someone needed to “keep an eye on entrapta” and act like she was just a hindrance, when they were basically standing around doing nothing half the time. yeah, entrapta gets distracted easily but at least she takes her work seriously and gets shit done.

MERMISTA FOR MERMAY - asked by anonymous 🔱

a lot of ppl defend that "SPOP IS A KIDS SHOW!!!" but honestly i think you guys also forget that lol

you sexualize moments between catra and adora, and ESPECIALLY between catra and glimmer, you think catra should have killed more ppl ON SCREEN, you call catra a fucking MILF, like. jesus christ isn't this a kids show like you say???

pretty sure a lot of adults are behind this shit and they forget that a lot of spop fans are actual kids. i feel so bad for the kids in this fandom.

Catra is Zuko without a Iroh

Thanks for the ask!

Honestly Catra is a combination of Zuko and Azula. She’s got Zuko’s temper/redemption and Azula’s smart/fear of abandonment. But I do have to agree with you. Catra kind of does what Zuko did in those three years.

During his three years at sea, Zuko kind of starts to get worse and worse and worse, battling both the realization that he’s never going home and all the anger he feels towards his family, but, through it all, Iroh is there.

Catra’s downward spiral is shown to the audience and she has no uncle Iroh counter part. I guess you could say it was Scorpia but I don’t know.
