Reaction Shot: She-Ra episode 13 (or, *gross sobbing intensifies*)

[spindizzy]

• ... Wait, the Whispering Wood froze over?


• I swear they were not in height order on the back of this horse when
  the last episode ended. Wasn't Adora at the front?


• ... Of COURSE everything is spreading out from the Fright Zone rather
  than all of the runestones going off at once. OF COURSE.


• Etheria is covered in natural disasters, and you're all like "This is
  a victory for us"? Seriously?


• Entrapta is deliberating amping the power of one runestone to reduce
  the power of the other runestones, just to see what would happen? ... Yeah,
  checks out, sounds like Entrapta.


• OH, I was wondering what was going on with that! So it's the ELEMENTAL
  princesses who are connected to runestone. Entrapta doesn't have one at
  all, and Scorpia either doesn't appear to have a connection with the Black
  Garnet right now, or she never did. ... OR she is now 200% more powerful
  and liable to destroy everything given the correct provocation and I'm
  honestly okay with that.


• CATRA HOW DID YOU BREAK A LIGHT BULB IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU
  MANAGED TO PERMANENT A POWER FLUCTUATION?! WHAT THE HELL?!


• Ah, so there can be multiple people synced to one runestone at once?
  Or has Angella reclaimed the runestone from her princess days?


• GLIMMER VOLUNTARILY HUGGED HER MOTHER! TRULY IT'S THE END OF DAYS.


• Netossa and Spinerella are canon lesbians and you cannot take this
  away from me, because LOOK! LOOK AT THIS! We never would have had this when
  I was a kid and I'm so happy for kids growing up with shows like
  She-Ra.


• DO YOU PEOPLE NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BAN GLIMMER FROM
  DOING THINGS?!


• "She-Ra can do this alone. This is what she's FOR." ADORA NO YOU GET
  BACK HERE AND FINISH THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT YOU WERE DOING WHERE YOU
  WERE ACCEPTING THAT OTHER PEOPLE COULD MAKE CHOICES TO PUT THEMSELVES IN
  DANGER AND/OR THAT IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT WHEN PEOPLE GET HURT.


• "Not even She-Ra can do this on her own!"
  "Then what good is she?!"
  ... Man, I'm very familiar with that pause, where you're sure
  you've said something rational and everyone around you is like "Nope, no,
  banned and I am appalled that the world has allowed you to believe that
  you're right for this long."


• Glimmer, what do you mean you've been SNEAKING WEAPONS.


• I love that Angella knew the entire time. And that Glimmer is
  apparently just like her dad.


• ANGELLA KEPT HER PARTNER'S STAFF AND IS GIVING IT TO GLIMMER, I AM
  VERKLEMPT.


• It's okay, everyone else is too.


• Seriously, where is literally everyone else from Bright Moon. Where
  are the soldiers and defences they had in the first few episodes.


• THEY HAVE A TANK.


• HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DEFEND THE CASTLE FROM THERE.


• Literally just as I was about to type "They forgot that She-Ra gives
  no fucks about their tanks, didn't they?" She-Ra got to the one with the
  bombs in it. THEY REMEMBERED.


• SERIOUSLY WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE. THEY HAVE ADULTS AND AN ARMY WHEN
  THERE'S ONE TEENAGE GIRL OUT OF HER DEPTH, BUT AS SOON AS AN ARMY SHOWS UP
  THERE'S NOBODY?!


• Angella, gooooooo!


• I love when she just cuts vehicles in half.


• GO BOW, GO!


• I bet your mother wasn't expecting you to use the staff like that.


• When your teachers told you that the winner in a sword fight was the
  one with the greatest reach, I don't think that's quite what they were
  picturing.


• ADORA DO NOT GET DISTRACTED IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT, THAT'S HOW YOU
  DIE.


• "Hey Adora." OH FUCK.


• "I figured it wouldn't be THAT easy to get rid of you." OH MY GOD
  CATRA.


• She just backflipped like forty feet into the air.


• Glimmer: *BEATS DUDES WITH A MAGIC STAFF*


• "Isn't that nice? You've accessorised!"


• "Boom! Nets." LOOK AT THE PRINCESSES ROCKING UP THAT THE SHOW EXPECTED
  US TO IGNORE FROM EPISODE THREE. LOOK AT THEM ROCKING UP TO SAVE THE
  DAY.


• ADORA STOP IT SHE'S BAITING YOU!


• You fool, she had the high ground!


• "I already made it a lot farther than anyone thought I would." ... Oh
  god that's so depressing but also true.


• You two are just taking each other apart, oh god.


• "What, did you really think this was about you?" ... She did the same
  thing again, didn't she? She used herself as a distraction, and the rest of
  her minions swept in and achieved her goal. Damn she's good at
  being the smart villain.


• RUN GLIMMER!


• Oh shit, Scorpia right to the FACE.


• Oh no, oh no they came prepared for her. ;____;


• Bow finds her shield and literally he just goes "Uh-oh" because he
  knows what this means.


• ANGELLA NO.


• LEAVE HER ALONE YOU STUPID ROBOT!


• Scorpia's entire response to Glimmer's glitch is just "Ah,
  pretty!"


• Ohhhhhhhh no, oh this is a bad sign. COME ON GLIMMER, I BELIEVE IN
  YOU! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN RECONNECT WITH YOUR RUNESTONE AND SAVE THE
  DAY!


• Bow and the other princesses showed up to buy Adora time! COME ON, I
  BELIEVE IN YOU!


• "Please tell me we can fix this," and the quiet music and all of them
  coming in for a hug as the tanks warm up. ;_________________________;


• Wait. water bubbles – GO MERMISTA YOU BEAUTIFUL SEA GODDESS!


• I love how she just splits that tidal wave to spare her allies, she's
  so good.


• "The sea kinda sucked today," she says like she's talking about
  traffic and not global natural disasters.


• PERFUMA! Just rocking in to vine people and ask if everyone's
  okay!


• I know it's to be expected, but I LOVE the thing where the
  protagonist's allies show-up fifteen minutes late with Starbucks and save
  the day, I LOVE it. Or at least, I love it when it's done well and it feels
  like the protagonists were buying them time.


• I am cry. LOOK at Adora realising that there's still hope, look!


• ... Oh wow, look at Catra finding the one way to snatch that
  hope away.


• FROSTA! YOU CAME! YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE AND
  YOU CAME ANYWAY!


• "For Etheria!" YES, FINALLY, FINALLY AN OATH THAT SHE UNDERSTANDS AND
  CAN SWEAR BY, FINALLY A BATTLE CRY THAT ADORA BELIEVES!


• TWO HUGS in as many episodes, Angella's getting spoiled.


• THEY FIXED IT! THEY WORKED TOGETHER AND THEY REBALANCED THE
  RUNESTONES!


• Angella and Glimmer glowing different monotone colours and that "Go
  get them" before Glimmer teleports out to raise hell! Waaaaaaah!


• LOOK AT THAT SKY.


• I AM SO OVERCOME BY ALL OF THESE PRINCESSES TEAMING UP!
  
• Sea Hawk: Battlecry!


• LOOK AT THEM WORKING TOGETHER FLAWLESSLY AND COMPLEMENTING EACH
  OTHER'S SKILLS AND USING THEIR MAGIC IN SUCH INVENTIVE WAYS! LOOK AT THEM
  ALL HELPING AND PROTECTING EACH OTHER AND SETTING FIRE TO BOATS AND RUINING
  TANKS!


• LOOK AT THEM LINKING UP SO THEY CAN BE A RAINBOW OF MAGIC AND SEA HAWK
  IS THERE TOO!


• (Like, look! Bow has magic heart powers too!)


• RAINBOW TIDAL WAVE LITERALLY WASHING THE HORDE AWAY!


• Mermista and Nettossa mutual admiration squad! How happy they all are
  that they did things together!


• THREE HUGS! And ADORA getting in on the hug action toooooooo! LOOK AT
  THAT WITH THE WING HUG!


• I love them, I love them so much.


• Catra doesn't even flinch when he stands up, she gives not a single
  fuck anymore.


• LOOK AT HOW WELL DONE THIS IS, LITERALLY THE LAST THING WE GET OF THIS
  SERIES IS THE PROTAGONISTS CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORY AND CATRA GETTING
  EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTED, I DIE, I AM VERKLEMPT, AND MY EMOTIONS ARE A
  MESS.


• THEY STILL DON'T KNOW ENTRAPTA'S ALIVE, THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE
  HORDE DID THAT


• THEY DON'T KNOW THAT SHADOW WEAVER HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN!


• BUT THEY HAVE FRIENDSHIP AND TEAM UPS AND I AM OVERCOME WITH SQUISHY
  FEELINGS, I LOVE IT.
