anti-lgbtq bills are getting written increasingly, transphobic laws are getting passed while referencing ‘religious rights’ in the usa and worldwide, and yt cishet hollywood writers are like 'i think it’d be so subversive to write an arc about a corrupting lesbian leading a woman away from hetero normalcy and then to kill the toxic queer off to 'liberate’ the latter from her 'problematic lifestyle’ and use christian imagery all over it’
Romantic relationships are not any more special/prone to abuse/less justifiable than any other deep connection if you support Amity working on her relationship with her Dad, if you support Gamora and Nebula making up and being close sisters again, if you support the idea of Azula and Zuko making up and becoming close, if you support Jinx and Vi possibly making up, if you support Emma and Regina becoming friends, if you support any situation where two people were extreme enemies/had a toxic relationship/one tried to kill the other/etc and they end up putting their differences aside/making up/becoming close/reconciling and then you turn around call Catradora “abuse apologism” you’re a fucking hypocrite. Plain and simple. A hypocrite through and through.
Adora: Thought you hate being on guard duty. Catra: Pfft. This is fine. *sits closer Adora: I knew you liked me. Catra: What? No! Shut up! I’m just cold. Adora: You have fur. All over. Catra: Whatever. *Cuddles closer
What more could we want?

Look, if you genuinely think that an abused, emotionally damaged and traumatized TEENAGER who killed literally no one (possibly one person, and even that’s left ambiguous) is “objectively” worse than the galactic dictator who destroyed multiple planets, has killed untold billions of innocent people, and treats his “brothers” like slaves, then quite frankly I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities because there is CLEARLY something wrong with them.
I could have gone cutesy and been done with it, but this happened instead.
This is based on the theory that Catra and Adora have fallen in love over and over again but every time Shadow Weaver catches them, she erases Adora’s memory of them ever getting together so Catra is left in a loop of Adora falling in love with her, and acting on it, and then watching her get her memories erased once again.
A woman is going to be wrongfully executed next month for a crime she did not commit. Her case was used as a political ploy, and a false confession was produced by gross police misconduct.
Her name is Melissa Lucio and she’s going to die this April.
Not only did Ms. Lucio not commit a crime, the crime never happened. It was completely fabricated. Everything she was accused of is disproven by mountains of evidence and testimony. She lost her toddler daughter in a tragic accident and was baselessly blamed. In an already traumatic situation, when she was grieving for her baby and should’ve been surrounded by the healing love of family and community, she was kidnapped and now might be murdered by the government. No matter how you feel about the death penalty (though I would hope this case, and the many others like it, will inform your stance), this woman is not being executed as punishment for wrongdoing. She is being killed as punishment for being a poor Latina woman. The state is also injuring and traumatizing her children (including the twins she gave birth to in prison and was forced to give up for adoption) by taking their mom away. This is white supremacist murder and state terrorism, plain and simple.
