WAIT! Did Vaggie Grow Her Hair Out In Hell Because There's Nothing There That Can Cut It!?

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.

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.

SPOP Appreciation Week 2025

This upcoming May will mark the 5 year anniversary of the finale of Dreamworks' She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. To celebrate, we're hosting a Big Bang with lots of fics and art, but we wanted everyone to be able to participate in some form.

Introducing SPOP Appreciation Week, a week of prompts to help us celebrate our fav and show the cast, crew and fandom itself there's still a lot of love for these characters out there.

SPOP Appreciation Week 2025 Prompts List 

Remember / Memory

Past, Present and Future

A Beautiful Wish

You aren't alone.

Imperfection Is Beautiful

Heart

We're Going to Win in the End

How to participate

What can we make? Anything! Text posts, edits, show meta, fanart, fanfic, or even love letters to the show, cast, crew, or fandom itself. The main point of this event is to celebrate the show and get more posts out there overall, so think outside the box.

Where do we share? Everywhere! Anywhere! AO3, Tumblr, Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, etc wherever there's SPOP fandom.

Prompts can be interpreted anyway you like or ignored entirely if you want to do your own thing. Go out of order if that's what the muse wants, the point is just to make stuff and celebrate the show!

When you make your post, no matter what platform you're sharing it on, tag it #weloveSPOP2018 along with all the usual SPOP fandom, ship or character tags. Why this tag specifically? So if we do happen to trend anywhere, we ensure that Crew-Ra / Mattel / Netflix / Dreamworks et al understands which version of She-Ra we are celebrating.

We'll be reblogging our favorite SPOP Celebration posts on our sister blog, SPOPBang to keep them separate from the Big Bang posts so you don't have to tag us so long as you're using the #weloveSPOP2018 tag.

Remember: you don't need to make something long or complicated to participate! Whether it's silly memes, heartfelt posts about what the show means to you, fanworks inspired by the prompts, or using the prompts as a jumping off point to talk about your favorite scenes or character, we'd love whatever you have to share.

And if you have multiple things you want to post for each day, by all means, please do! The more, the better!

In addition to new content, we'd encourage you to reblog/retweet/re…bluesky older SPOP content during the celebration week to add to the nostalgia.

Tip: If you've got an idea for a post now, schedule it to post in advance so you don't forget! Tumblr and Twitter (well, on desktop anyway) let you schedule posts in advance natively. The app Buffer even has a free plan that will let you schedule posts on places like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Bluesky.

Here are the prompts with some suggestions of how you could interpret each…

original thread 1

original thread 2

Let's be real, there's no way the U.S. government wouldn't be researching portals back to Amphibia to exploit its resources.

I always wanted to make a fic or comic about Anne becoming a secret government agent (while posing as a mild-mannered herpetologist) just so she could sabotage that project. Or to find a way back herself.

So yeah, that'd be a pretty good opportunity for her to become besties with Mr. X

My most random headcanon is that Anne somehow ends up becoming besties with Mr. X

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

Anti-Chaggie shippers fym they have no chemistry? They’re so cute pls 😭 Wish I had what they had

You wait for the art book to come out next year!

What do i do with my life now

I mean, how did she even experience that? Because theoretically she should've lived through a whole lifetime in which Madoka didn't exist and Homura never met her. Madoka didn't just alter the last month and a half, she altered ALL time. But Homura was so experienced with time travel (or so in love) that she couldn't forget. So did she just live a whole life with these memories, that she knows can't be real, of saving this girl Madoka who doesn't exist over and over again, as well as inexplicable timestop powers? Or was the Homura we all know just dropped into the new timeline with with all her memories, hopefully not erasing that timeline's Homura, but instead gaining her memories of a life without Madoka in a world without witches.

Wraith arc must've explained all of this I guess, but I've never read it.

Okay but like what do you think Homura was thinking on the day after Madoka became a concept? What did she do on the day she realized her mission was over?
