And They’re Both Polyam

YESSSSS!

I always felt people underrated how much the Horde Prime lifestyle contributed to Catra's hange of heart.

Catra was always about rugged individualism and believed in a brutal meritocracy she could rise through.

She hated the Princess Alliance and its message of peace and love because she felt like it made everyone conform to their positive vibes and lose their own individuality. Because they treated everyone well, she thought it left people without a reason to strive to be exceptional.

But then she got involved with Horde Prime and learned what it was ACTUALLY like to be stripped of your identity and to be kept from being your best.

And she realized how wrong she'd been before.

Hive Minds creep the fuck out of me. As somebody that values their autonomy and individuality, that level of “connection” to others is just too frightening for me.

No wonder Catra betrayed Horde Prime and saved Glimmer. She took one look at that “community” and metaphorically shit herself. As anyone would or should.

HORDE PRIME: “Little sister”

*visibly shivers*

That was not going to be her future. Subjugation was never on Catra’s bucket list. It’s why she kept running off on her own to try to “defeat” Adora. It was purpose. Trying to convince herself of her own self-worth - even in the eyes of her friend-turned-enemy. Horde Prime really frightens Catra because he wants nothing from her but total allegiance and domination via Hive Mind.

They found the one thing that would scare her so thoroughly that she would drop the act of being the villain and fight for what’s right,… for who she loves.

I also made this d&d animation along time ago about how to have low-level players take on a mindflayer hive. Not sure if I'll make more like this, but if I do the audio quality will be better because I have a half-decent mic now!

Been watching Blast of Tempest and Aika seems like textbook haunting the narrative. She's dead before the story even begins. Technically she's not the only main character that's true of, but that's different.

"haunting the narrative" is one of those phrases i wanna put up on a shelf. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that haunt the narrative are dead.

Was really tempted to try and make an Amphibia ttrpg once, and these would indeed have been the core stats, and this is indeed how they'd be distributed in the main characters.

I am NOT normal about these! I project this onto any ship where one of them is super powerful and pure and probably the chosen one, and the other has evil in their past and can be like a penitent sinner before their god! And that's pretty much all my favorite ships! But like, espeeeeecially Varlie and Madohomu! Baggie and Homura are both SO replacing the god they've lost faith in with their perfect Lesbian goddesses! And they both believe they're horrible sinners unworthy to be in the presences of their beautiful goddesses. But I'm gonna tag the ones I project it onto too.

My favorite relationship dynamic in fiction is a worshipper and their God. Not a literal God, but their God. The only thing in the whole world that matters to them. I will live for you, I would die for you, I would kill for you. My only moral compass is You. You can do no wrong in my eyes and I will never stray from your side. I was born to meet you and to love you. You are the only being I pray to. Your life isn’t just my passion, it’s my religion. You don’t think you’re anything special but you don’t see what I see. You don’t see that you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel this way. You don’t understand how beautiful you are to me and I will devote my entire life to making you understand and accept it.

Saw people talking about this on Twitter, apparently the new promo art for the Art of Amphibia book has a little message reading "A Strange Voyage is Coming" 👀 graphic novel WHEN

from an old incorrect quote. It’s great that the journal not only clarified that Sasha’s eyes are blue but that Anne and Marcy absolutely love looking at Sasha’s eyes

Oh, you *wish* you could? Well I know someone who might be able to help with that... if you're willing to pay the price.

People who don’t ship madohomu actually really confuse me ,like I feel it’s so obvious and once you find out what homura’s wish was it just feels painfully obvious . But hey people have their own opinions and I can’t change that even though I wish I could.

Realized that the top of Madoka's skirt is star-shaped and now I can't stop thinking about this

ID: Digital comic of Homura and Madoka from Madoka Magica. The comic has some panels and some free drawings. The page is tinted pink and purple, growing darker as the comic goes on. There are doodles of hearts, stars, and moons across the pages. Madoka tapping Homura's shoulder from behind. Homura's eye widens, filled with wonder as she turns to see Madoka seemingly glowing in her magical girl outfit. Text: "And to me, you were always a STAR" A panel of Homura and Madoka holding hands with just their hands visible. Text: " Guiding me forward with each wayward night" Madoka facing the right, bounding forward, intended to resemble the hallucination Mima has of herself, bouncing away from her through the town in Satoshi Kon's "Perfect Blue. Text: "Just out of reach" One of Madoka's red ribbon's flies in the air behind her. Homura reaches out for the ribbon, already holding onto the other ribbon. She seems to be shouting out. Text: "Just a little too far" The lines from Madoka's bouning swirl into chaos framing her lying down in water, crying yet trying her best to smile as her grief seed forms. Text: "The memory of something" A panel of Homura's hand holding a gun, her hand shaking. Text: "that died long ago." The scene fades into Homura on a rooftop, wearing Madoka's ribbon, looking down. Text: "Because how could you have died lightyears ago" Madoka walks, with yellow ribbons in her hair, talking to someone not seen on the page. Text: "When I see you here right in front of me."
