Reaction Shot: She-Ra episode 10 (or, *CRYING INTENSIFIES*)

[spindizzy]

• ... Is... Is this why the original Princess Alliance fell apart?


• "Entrapta's gone because of my plan!" ... Adora understands command structure and that's it. I don't think she understands that people have agency of their own yet.


• How does being together make you WEAKER?! You literally only managed to save anyone because you were together!


• Perfuma making a statue of Entrapta when she was the one who liked Entrapta the least is sad. And look at Frosta just building up the fortifications around her palace even more, just to make sure that nothing
  like that happens again.


• ... Entrapta's really gone, isn't she. ;__________;


• Bow turning it into a group hug is the most them thing about that entire family.


• Angella knowing something's up because Glimmer isn't teleporting out of hugs is the most realistic thing I've seen a fictional family do.


• Glimmer, your mum needs to freak out about this, okay? Also WHAT IF WHAT IS MAKING YOU GLITCH MAKES THE CRYSTAL GLITCH TOO.


• I'm so sad that this show about the Princesses of Power only had them working together for one episode. I know that the Princess Alliance will get back together, but it still feels sad.


• Man, only Shadow Weaver would try to turn a scolding over knowing that Adora was She-Ra into an opportunity to go "BUT NOW YOU UNDERSTAND MY MOTIVATIONS!"


• "All you did was invite attack from an enemy combatant with detailed knowledge of our operations." Welp, there it is.


• ENTRAPTA'S OKAY! *cries forever*


• Seriously, I was going full Rizzo from Muppet Treasure Island. "He died? I thought this was supposed to be a kid's movie!"


• Bow looks so freaked out, and Adora is just training harder. ;_;


• GLIMMER YOUR MUM NEARLY SACRIFICED THE ENTIRE REBELLION FOR YOU, CAN SHE NOT HAVE FIVE MINUTES. ... Oh god, I'm old, I'm officially too old for kid's shows because I'm sympathising with the parents. Bury me at sea.


• Scorpia is my favourite and the most me character because my response to "Did you see the look on Shadow Weaver's face" was ALSO "No, she was wearing a mask."


• EMILY!


• "If she wants to take the credit for my plan, she can take the blame too." I like that this is actually the way it shook out, rather than what happens in real life where the supervisor gets the credit and the minion gets the blame.


• ENTRAPTA! YOU'RE ALIVE!


• "I've never been sick before. One advantage of having an immortal mother." ... Man, imagine being immortal and still able to get sick. You'd have EVERY DISEASE, it would be awful.


• Glimmer: What do you do when you have a cold?
  Adora: Remain out of sight! ... What? Displays of physical weakness are strongly discouraged in the Horde.
  You guys forgot where Adora grew up again, didn't you.


• "I haven't been training enough and look what happened!" I love it when my read on a character is right!


• "They're not right" is Bow being good again, because I don't know about you, but that's the sort of toxic stuff that's plausible enough to get under my radar when I'm having a bad brain day.


• Adora is left alone for five seconds and immediately starts training again.


• YOU'RE GETTING WORSE, GLIMMER.


• ... I'm with Bow, using the sword of lasers, rainbow wings and/or fixing machines on a person is maybe NOT the best plan you ever had...


• GLIMMER NO, THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT BOW WAS SAYING.


• They even chained her tentacle hair! They came prepared!


• ... I don't think Catra is prepared to be in a room with Scorpia AND Entrapta. One or the other, but I don't think she's ready for both.


• If those shock things can shatter concrete, maybe STOP USING THEM ON PEOPLE.


• "They left you," Oh nooooooooooo, Catra nooooo. She's bonding with Entrapta over being the ones left behind and this is breaking my heart.


• Entrapta realising how long she's been there, and how it's been TOO long, is just making me go nooooooooo into my hands a lot.


• THE BEST PART IS that with Emily, Entrapta literally was just waiting for them to come back and get her, because she could have burst through the walls AT ANY TIME. LITERALLY ANY TIME.


• Scorpia constantly covering and protecting Catra makes me happy.


• ... But yeah, seriously, Entrapta could do SO WELL in the Horde. They actually have machinery! That's her whole thing! This is bad but I see her point of view.


• (I'm so sad that no one's going to be able to explain "We thought you were literally dead" to Entrapta. And also that Catra doesn't even have that comfort. ... What am I saying, Adora ASKED YOU TO GO WITH HER CATRA. SHE ASKED. AND YOU TURNED HER DOWN.)


• "Who's ready to stop messing around with sharp objects!"


• YOU ARE GOING TO LASER GLIMMER IN THE FACE! "Am I the only one who cares about sword safety around here?!


• Awww, poor Emily getting chained up as well.


• Entrapta keeps putting herself back into the cuffs, bless her.


• Catra has a new best friend, seriously.


• LOOK, CAN'T YOU JUST ALL HAVE A SLEEPOVER IN ADORA'S ROOM AGAIN IF YOU CAN'T GET TO YOUR OWN BED?!


• Angella pulling rank on Glimmer with a smile on her face is scary.


• Oh Bow knows how much trouble Glimmer is in.


• How good is the soundproofing on these rooms that Angella didn't hear Glimmer scream there?


• Glimmer really doesn't want to have dinner with her mother.


• Shadow Weaver's hair has collapsed! That's bad! Also Shadow Weaver acknowledging that she's an abusing shithead FEELS LIKE A TRAP.


• BOW THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT YOU ABSOLUTE DINGBAT. ALSO YOU WERE RIGHT THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE FRIENDS THAT AREN'T GLIMMER.


• I love these idiots so much. They're sweet and such good friends!


• Oh, oh Glimmer is freaking out about being in her mum's presence because she feels like she's a screw-up and doesn't need her mum to tell her that because she already knows.


• Oh.


• Excuse me, I need to just go and take my first real crying break since I got out of therapy.


• ... Oh, and Angella ordered the battle that killed Glimmer's dad, oh this is the worst conversation.


• "You feel like a failure?" ... Oh I'm so glad they're actually bonding, this is so good for them both.


• ... Oh no, Catra and She-Ra are heading for the same thing, I've just realised. This is TERRIBLE.


• Uh-oh. I don't like this.


• "You want me to be weak? Well I am. And I'm afraid, because I'm no good at any of this." ;________;


• I'm glad we had an episode without any actual fights, to be honest, because I NEEDED A BREAK, but also apparently this break involved making me cry so I guess that's swings and roundabouts.
