(04/05) ✨ahhh I messed up the order but I’ve already been posting and reposting these image sets (when I messed up) for hours today so sorry, Glimmer + Suki weren’t supposed to be this late on purpose.
It really bothers me that we know so little about the other kingdoms in Etheria. Like Bright Moon has a Queen but have we ever heard of Kings/Queens in other kingdoms or are the rest of them all Princessipations? Principalities? And if so, who is in charge of Dryll since Entrapta moved to the Fright Zone? Like do any of the other princesses even have parents? I mean 11 year old Frosta was left to host the ball on her own, maybe because it’s a tradition specifically for princesses but it very much seemed like she was the ruling monarch. For that matter, what is Dryll even like when its citizens aren’t hiding from deranged robots? Did anyone else live in the castle besides Entrapta and her 3 kitchen staff (because presumably robots can’t make human food, based on season 3)? Give us more world building in season 4 please!
Adora:*holds her magical sword at various different heights and angles while trying to make it glow* Wait, waaaait I think I’ve almost got it… *stands on one leg* Aaaaaallllmoooossstttt
Season 1 really is just adora wandering around asking “Can I have friends..? Can I at least make sure they’re ok???” and Shadow Weaver and Light Hope going “NO. NO Friends and NO helping friends be ok!!!!!!”
Meanwhile Angella leans in close on adora’s first night in brightmoon to whisper threateningly “oh you had BETTER be friends with my daughter”
and then she’s sending her daughter off on missions with adora
and she’s sending adora the ex-horde soldier off to go rescue her daughter from the horde
and shooing glimmer off to go after adora even though glimmer is without magic and glitching? but glimmer wants to find adora! and Angella the Overprotective is like “YES good idea, hope this turns out better for you than it did with me and your father, off you go!”
By season’s end she’s pulling Adora into giant wing hug! A group hug! friends and found family hug!!
ADORA IS FROM THE HORDE, THE HORDE IS ATTACKING ANGELLA’S HOME AND ‘killed" HER HUSBAND
but glimmer wants to be friends with adora and angella just went “ugh fine then keep her”
And you know what Castaspella’s in the same boat!
Her bother was 'killed’ by the horde and here’s this ex-horde soldier and glimmer’s so excited to introduce her and she brought adora here specially to relax bc she’s been Stressed and adora shoots lasers everywhere that cripple mystacor’s defenses and something something evil shadow thingy group hug Well That Was A Thing
and Castaspella’s reaction to all this is???
she’s gonna knit Adora a SWEATER !
bc adora is glimmer’s new friend
these two women who both lost someone they loved to the horde looked at this anxious girl in a horde uniform that glimmer dragged home and were like
“Well of COURSE she can have friends if she wants them. And a family. And a home. And a hug. and glimmer’s hand in marriage”
and you know what? I love it
the contrast between them and Light Hope and Shadow Weaver! the basic idea that having friends is important and okay! that trying to decide who someone gets to be friends with, controlling their choices, both when you’re doing it for shitty reasons and for what you think are important reasons- is WRONG! No good! BAD. Isolating someone from everyone else they love is wrong! Trying to be the only one in their life is wrong! It hurts them! It leaves them weak and vulnerable and sad!
and Angella didn’t want to do that to Glimmer. she didn’t even want to do that to a former horde soldier!
the Good Parental Figure bar was so low and she vaulted right over it scooped adora up and kept on running. glimmer smacked shadow weaver in the face and cradled adora in her arms so tenderly all of light hopes plans where foiled, but angella didn’t even have to be in the same ROOM to destroy them both utterly in every way that counts
get rekt SW and LH. Angella and Castaspella are adora’s new moms now
