Was Really Tempted To Try And Make An Amphibia Ttrpg Once, And These Would Indeed Have Been The Core

I can like dozens of She-Ra fanarts in a day but rarely reblog. But this one just hits right. They look so unified. And those cocky smirks. And Adora's suit. They look like a crime family. They look so ready to outperform you on the dance floor or beat the shit out of you. And I love calling them the Meowmeow family!

The Meowmeow family

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."

I'd bet it was a direct order from Catra!

ok scorpia's excuse for making a mess of the files in s2e3 is that she has inconvenient limbs for handling documents, but here?! here she's just tossing them behind her on purpose!!! was respecting shadow weaver's files not covered in force captain orientation?!?!?

madoka loves her swagless cringefail lesbian disaster gf

Madokoincidences

I still can't believe I became a Madoka fan at such a perfect time. I knew about the show and had even seen episodes 2 and 3 at anime club back in HIGHSCHOOL. But only decided to watch it THIS YEAR! And that turned out to be the perfect time because everything about that time has lined up First there was that whole thing about my idea of a Yandere devil being realized in Rebellion like I mentioned before Then I interacted with old fan content just in time to hear the new teenage mutant ninja turtles movie play the rap that the Madoka rap is to the tune of... TWICE! I think I even caught Karina Drawfee making a Meduka Meguca reference on a recent stream And of course now MADOKA IS COMING BACK! After so many years an actual trailer has come out for a new movie and the fandom hype is in full swing! I showed up just in time to get all that hype without sitting through any long wait. But How? How is it that I ended up watching Madoka now of all times. Well, tis somehow because of fucking Wixoss! (pronounced wee-cross). A friend and I were just browsing through anime on a site looking for something weird and I saw there were a bunch of shows with this name. Turns out tis a card game anime, unique among them by having girls play all of the card games instead of standing to the side and commenting without ever playing. Though I'm not sure if the game was really marketed towards girls since all the cards are also pretty girls that seem intended as waifu material. Anyway, in Wixoss there are some prophetic visions of some weird apocalypse kind of like Madoka's Walpurgisnacht dreams, and whichever cardgame-playing-girl can beat all the others gets to make a wish. So I was explaining that to another friend, and she was all "Do they turn into witches? This sounds a lot like Madoka." and that's what got us talking about Madoka in the year 2023, and she eventually convinced me to watch it. So I guess I have the weird card game anime Wixoss that I only watched like 3 episodes of to thank for my being part of the Madoka fandom. Hope that was amusing! I'm pretty sure one of the main characters of Wixoss wanted to use her wish to make it so that her brother and her weren't related so that it would be okay to date him.

Here's a new Amphibia animation I just made today! More teamfourstar audio lol. I didn't make anything until the show ended but I don't think I'll be letting Amphibia go for a while.

catradora and the perfect victim complex

(i literally fucking think about this all the time so this just gonna be a rant lol)

i really, truly think that people in general don’t put the effort into understanding characters who are imperfect victims. for them, it destroys the appeal of victimhood. victimhood (especially when the victims in question are girls, women, femme presenting people, etc.) needs to be beautiful and tragic. think characters like ophelia, snow white, odette, juliet, the lisbon sisters. otherwise, their victimhood is no longer attractive.

catra is an imperfect victim. shadow weaver’s abuse did not make her soft, weak, timid, or fragile. it made her bitter, angry, and resentful.

i once saw a catra anti saying some bullshit about how they might’ve liked catra more if the writers had spent more screen time showing shadow weaver abusing her, specifically her when she was a kid.

this person wanted to see catra’s pain as beautiful. they wanted to see her ONLY as a child to be pitied, the little kid who cowered in fear instead of fighting back, and not have to acknowledge catra’s more complicated character traits.

i also think this is why these same people often talk like they love adora, like “adora deserves better than catra” and all that shit. adora (to them) is easier to see as a perfect victim. shadow weaver’s abuse made her obedient and self-sacrificing. it made her put others before herself, even to the point of fucking death. adora is selfless and brave. she’s so determined to be a perfect hero, to protect people, to care for people, to love people. these traits are easier to romanticize. it makes her seem beautiful.

if you ask me, this is a really fucked up way of viewing adora. i don’t love adora bc she’s a “perfect victim”, i love adora bc she, like catra, is also flawed. adora’s determination to be perfect leads her to abandoning catra. her inability to empathize with catra leads her to behaving the way she did in taking control. adora isn’t fucking perfect.

(for context i do also think that catra was in the wrong in that episode too, but i feel like we don’t talk enough about how badly adora was handling the situation. like seriously girl catra is here basically telling her “i don’t trust you bc i don’t believe that you could ever love me bc i’m inherently fucked up and unlovable” and adora’s immediate reaction is to blow up at her. it makes sense given what adora has just done for her, but it’s another example of adora being incapable of empathizing with catra. also calling her a stubborn brat? yeah uh that wasn’t funny adora, especially not with the ways that shadow weaver talked about catra.)

but i love that adora is flawed, and i love that catra is flawed. they’re not archetypes. no real person experiences abuse like they did and comes out perfect. catra’s intense fear of abandonment and resentment issues are a very fucking real response to the way she was traumatized. regardless of how ugly it is.

at the end of the day, i think that people can’t wrap their brains around this concept and refuse to empathize with imperfect victims bc they don’t want to admit that they, too, are imperfect victims. the perfect victim isn’t real. it’s a fucking myth.

in real life, people are messy and complicated, like catra and adora. it’s why i love them :)

ugh i could literally go on about this FOREVER i swear.

Much like her new cannibal friends, Charlie "can't wait to taste an angel's wings!"

Is Charlie horny?! I think she is! They definitely fucked.

I like this Wet Elf look for Charlie
