OG Adora/She-Ra: Is super smart and sassy. Never relies on violence or brute strength. Animal empathy who makes friends with man eating creatures. Doesn’t waste time on petty bullshit. Is an adult woman who has agency and does what she wants. Can wear and look however she wants. Isn’t sexualized or viewed as an object. Has a loving family. In a healthy romantic relationship. Is a hero.
Nate’s Adora/She-Ra: Is really smart, but treated as dumb by the fandom, (retroactively making some of the fandom treats 80’s Adora as dumb, I digress). Is dumbed down even though it’s out of character. Only knows fighting and brute strength. Has tried and possibly killed animals and creatures. 90% of her story is petty bullshit with Catra. Is a child. Is constantly sexualized by the the fandom. Is body shamed and made fun of for her looks, even being uncomfortable with herself. Is treated like a weapon, prize, object. Doesn’t know her birth family and adopted family ether wants to manipulate, control, torture, kill, or fuck her. Is dating her abusive sister who has done a lot of creepy touchy stuff to her. Is somehow meant to be a role model for children despite her life being absolute shit.
Me: Nate, what are you trying to teach kids with this?
yep. i have nothing more to add to this.

People will act like Catra is some sweet innocent baby that just wanted Adora to stop being a hero when Catra made it very VERY clear that she always wanted Adora to be a hero, someone to stop Horde Prime, someone who would always protect her no matter what. We see this since she always yelled at Adora for not protecting her, for example she says point blank "You never protected me from Shadow Weaver!" Which is a straight up lie since there was a time where she literally shielded Catra from Shadow Weaver, but then did the same thing when she did protect her, for example in the same episode I mentioned before Catra said "Ugh! You always need to play the hero, don't you!?" then yelled at Adora after she saved her life saying "I told you not to come back! But you just love feeling like a hero, don't you?!". It doesn't make sense.

(Pic not mine, credit goes to itsnotthesam, DO NOT SEND HATE)
It really annoys me that the show never actually addresses Scorpia's Pick Me-girl behavior. Here we have her parrotting C*tra's constant guilt trips to Adora, Catr*'s victim.
Adora was always a good friend to C*tra.
C*tra was never a real friend to Adora.
Yes, Scorpia is an outsider and all she has to go on is C*tra's very biased stance on the matter, but five minutes around C*tra and Adora should tell anyone anything they need to know about how that relationship really turned sour.
Adora calling C*tra the new Shadow Weaver is entirely accurate: C*tra frequently imitates Shadow Weaver's behavior to feel powerful, from the psychological manipulation, to the transactional nature of all her relationships to using physical abuse to keep her victims in line.
But because Stevenson couldn't possibly actually admit that C*tra is a raging asshole and abuser just like SW, he has Scorpia fire back this absolute bullshit line where she basically accuses Adora of abandoning C*tra.
I don't blame Adora for being thrown off-kilter here, C*tra has been drilling it into her head that C*tra's current misery is her (Adora's) fault and it can be real hard to finally let go of the stranglehold an abuser can have on your psyche.

Ememy Vs. Abuser: Catradora
Disclaimer: Netflix doesn't allow me to take screenshots. I tried to find clips on Youtube but a lot of these are stolen. And an obvious tw for abuse.
Tumblr media
When Catradora antis bring up how Catra abused Adora in seasons 1-4, a lot of people seem to be confused. The go-to defense is the following:
"Catra and Adora were enemies, they were put against each other in many battles. The 'abuse' is just what you'd normally expect from enemies to lovers".
A complelling argument, for sure. How can you expect of Catra to not be violent with someone who was put against her? The answer to this question can be answered through a different question: Why is Catra the abuser? Why not Adora?
What's the difference between an enemy, and an abuser?
1# The aggressor is particularly cruel to their future partner.
Catra doesn't use her claws on real people very often. She mostly uses them on objects or robots (or Shadow Weather's mask).
Tumblr media
At times, it's clear tnat she would gain a lot from using her claws, but she doesn't.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One might suggest that it's because she understands the full weight of using them. Whatever the case may be, there is a person she doesn't seem to have these reservations about: Adora.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2# Their intreractions contain emotional abuse.
Catra often blames Adora for things that aren't her fault. She's cruel to Adora, deliberately and viciously hurts her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She makes mean spirited remarks and belittles her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Additionally, Catra gaslit her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And wouldn't you know it, she takes pride in having control over Adora.
Tumblr media
3# There is no balance.
As we previously established, Catra has no problem being needlessly cruel to Adora. But is Catra in the same danger? It it at least mutually toxic?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's not. Adora can fight and defend herself, but won't do more than she needs. Meanwhile, Catra seem to relish in brutalizing her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Further more, moments that could be considered romantic build up in their own, "spicy" way, are positioned with Catra on top, where Adora has no choice but to comply, where she's stuck there.
Tumblr media
4# The aggressor got in the victim's head.
Adora has a guilt complex. That's not a controversial take. She takes too much responsibility and thinks everything is her fault. A lot of this stems from Shadow Weaver, but there's another source.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Adora is very quick to internalize her cruel remarks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Conclusion:
Catra and Adora's relationship can and was abusive during the war. They share specific patterns of abusive relationships even at war zone. Catra hurting Adora isn't all war stuff, it's personal, it's abusive.

Did they see their ship die on screen and thought it magicaly resurrected in s5?
It was actualy dead way before that but this should have been the moment where everybody knew c//a shouldn't happen. This scene should mean so much but in the end it was just cheap drama.

My stupid opinion that will get me killed by the entire She-Ra fandom
Shadow Weaver had a better redemption arc than C4tra
Yes, I know that Shadow wasn't fully redeemed, was terrible, and never apologized for her actions. But at least she was useful and helped the rebellion, unlike C4tra who was just getting in everyone's way. Shadow had many chances to betray the rebellion but she didn't meanwhile C4tra (who committed more and worse crimes than Shadow) would probably betray them all if someone offered her greater power because she only joined the rebellion when it was her only chance of survival despite being offered to join them many times before. And while C4tra did say she was sorry she never properly apologized for everything she did (like killing Angela and almost destroying the universe) and her apology always felt like she was just trying to earn sympathy from others. And she continued treating everyone horribly even after that. Shadow Weaver stayed loyal to the rebellion until the very end and even died for them, I know many people say that she only killed herself to traumatize C4tra, but the only proof of that they have is the "You're welcome" and it still can be argued what she meant by that (In my opinion it was "You're Welcome, now that I'm dead I won't bother you anymore" I'm not gonna explain why I think that here because this post is not about that). Shadow was the one who found a way to stop Horde Prime and did everything to make sure it worked, meanwhile, C4tra was being a nuisance and a distraction just so she could be with Adora and didn't care that the world might get destroyed because of it. She tried to stop Adora from taking the failsafe even though Adora was the only person who could survive it and got angry when Adora chose to save the world first instead of making out with her. Just to be clear I'm not talking about who was a morally better person, but who made up for their actions more.
In conclusion: Actions speak louder than words, Shadow Weaver was useful to the rebellion while C4tra was not.

Catra: I feel bad about...what happened
Adora: So...you're apologizing?
Catra: Yes, I'm sorry.
Adora: Ok. I don't forgive you.
Catra: Adora, I said I'm sorry.
Adora: Yeah, and I don't forgive you.
Catra: Uhm...not sure that you get what's happening here. This could be the last time that you-
Adora: No. I'm not giving you closure. You don't get that. You're going to have to live with the rest of your life. And know that it's never, ever going to be ok.

Trying to explain to C*tra-stans that C*tra supposedly being remorseful doesn't change the fact that she still did a lot of fucked up stuff completely of her own volition.
And C*tra's go-to response when realizing that she messed up is to dig her heels in and find someone else to blame (in most cases Adora).
She even does this in S5. Literally until the moment she has nowhere else to turn to, C*tra is completely unapologetic and refuses to take responsibility. Even post-"I'm sorry for everything", once she has options again C*tra immediately defaults to playing victim and pushing as much of the blame as she can on other people (mostly Adora).
Remorse doesn't mean shit if you don't act on it.

TRANSLATING AND GIVING MY HONEST OPINION ABOUT THIS TWITTER THREAD:
⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ DO NOT GO AFTER AND DO NOT HARASS THE CREATOR OF THE THREAD I'LL BE COMMENTING HERE. thank you.
Tumblr media
"it pisses me off when ppl say they love enemies to lovers and then say that catra//dora is toxic.
like, ENEMIES is not when one person steps on another's toes and gets angry towards them"
keep reading under the cut:
yeah, "enemies" certainly is not when one person steps on another's toes and gets angry towards them. even google knows that. enemies to lovers is completely different from rivals to lovers.
Tumblr media
however, c//a aren't enemies either. they have never been.
they were simply abuser x victim. and that's mainly because adora never really felt any hate towards catra. she even tried to make catra join the rebellion multiple times.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
additionally, adora knew how to defend herself, but wouldn't do more than she needs.
Tumblr media
catra, on the other hand, would relish on BRUTALIZING adora. she even tried to end the whole universe out of spite to adora, willing to kill them both in the process.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and let's not forget: catra did all this with a smile in her face, proud of being able to manipulate and control adora.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they were never mutual enemies. adora mostly viewed catra as someone to fear. most of the time, she felt powerless when the matter was catra. to be honest, even when the matter wasn't her, it's shown that she felt that way. damn, she even had a panic attack because of catra.
Tumblr media
and let's not forget how catra and adora's fights are always viewed as "flirtatious/sexy" and, surprisingly (or not), they are always with catra on top while adora is unable to fight back for any reason (be it for an emotional or physical reason, temporarily or not).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the only exception for what i said above is this scene, where i don't even believe adora is being flirtatious (for me, she's simply being smug) and where she's not even talking to catra in person.
Tumblr media
of course, there's times where adora physically hurts (or tries to hurt) catra back, but it's solely to DEFEND HERSELF/OTHER PEOPLE. catra takes advantage of adora's kindness cuz she knows she won't be able to cause the same harm as catra does.
Tumblr media
NEXT:
Tumblr media
"enemies to lovers is ALWAYS toxic in the enemies part. a relationship where you are the other person's mortal enemy is not even possible.we ship catra//dora precisely because they get to the lovers part, and when they get to it, there is no more toxicity."
I'm so sorry to break it to you, but C//A has been toxic before, during and after they were in opposite sides of the war. here is an example of this. catra always made it seem like it's adora who's always abandoning her, but it was catra's CHOICE to stay in the horde.
Tumblr media
C//A relationship occurred on an existing pattern: adora accidentally says something that makes catra mad -> catra hits/insults her -> catra runs away, expecting adora to chase after her and feeling like she's rejected if that doesn't happen. it even happened while they were KIDS.
Tumblr media
and let's also not forget about catra gaslighting and slapping adora in that one episode while she was going through another panic attack. "catra didn't know something was going on!!!" she literally had "flashbacks" about things that did happen and adora was clearly not okay.
Tumblr media
catra could've been a good friend like glimmer was for adora in the hot springs episode, listen to her, try to help and properly calm her down even if she didn't know what was happening, but catra didn't. she insisted on her own view that everything was perfect instead.
catra also makes it seem like adora is the abandoner multiple times in season 5. like girl you're the one who literally abandoned her even in S5 plsss-catra CHOSE to stay in the horde, adora tried to make catra come with her since forever. catra was the one running away.
Tumblr media
she even framed adora as being the violent one in their relationship with this scene:
"how am i supposed to fight my own friends?"
"it never stopped you before."
it's almost like catra wasn't the one always trying to hurt and murder adora all the time... lol.
Tumblr media
NEXT:
Tumblr media
"apart from the abuse that catra (and adora) suffered throughout her childhood AND her fear of abandonment, the only reason catra treated adora the way she did was because she suppressed her feelings in such an absurd way that she was even violent."
uhhh.. no?
you're telling me catra tried to kill adora multiples times and destroy the universe because deep inside her heart catra LOVED adora?
this is honestly giving me "he hits you because he likes you!" vibes. i bet if catra was a man, you wouldn't be saying stuff like this.
plus, shall i say something that may sound a bit... harsh:
THIS. IS. NOT. ABOUT. CATRA.
of course catra is traumatized.
of course catra is also abused.
of course all these facts helped building up catra's character.
but nothing justifies the way she treated adora.
"but catra was abused, she was raised in a harsh way, she doesn't know any better!" what about we stop making adora's abuse about her abuser...? everyone kinda seems to forget how catra was also a w4r crim1nal lmao. of course catra deserved love. but not in the way she got.
catra also needed to be held accountable for her actions, which she didn't. "she was brainwashed by horde prime which made her suffer a lot!" okay, and? catra also brainwashed and put adora into a lot of pain and that fact was never once brought up again.
Tumblr media
i mean, catra literally was a gen0c1dal w4r crim1nal. she killed lots of people (including glimmer's mother). again, she tried to end the universe. she destroyed villages. she attempted to kill adora multiple times. was she even questioned about it?
no. the princesses immediately take catra in with them as soon as adora says "she's with us now". there was not even a proper discussion about it.
NEXT:
Tumblr media
"as soon as she gets sufficiently comfortable in being vulnerable and admitting what she feels to adora, there's no reason for her to be violent because there's nothing else to suppress. the acception of her "true self" breaks the cycle of abuse and that's WHY +"
not gonna comment on it cuz i already said how catra has been abusive during the entire series - even after she has been rescued. "she was going through a lot" and adora was too. It just wasn't fair for catra to treat adora that way simply becuz "adora doesn't want mee! :(".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
like, girl, this isn't about you. you ASKED adora to save the world but then you get angry when she decides it's something she NEEDS to do and states that no one else can do that. like ???
Tumblr media
NEXT:
Tumblr media
"they turn into a couple.
double trouble themselves tell catra exactly what she has been doing during all seasons to hide and deny her own feelings for adora. because these feelings made her feel uncomfortable."
excuse me, double trouble was also wrong about that. starting by the way they said "left you" while turning into adora when we know it wasn't what happened, there's also the fact that their speech wasn't only about catra's "feelings" for adora.
it was also about catra feeling abandoned and rejected by EVERYONE she knew: shadow weaver, scorpia, hordak... or are we going to forget the fact all these people were also in the scene?
but even the show itself tries to make it seem like adora was the abandoner only for the "just this once, stay" quote to make sense. another reminder: spop's writing is very far away from being the best.
NEXT:
Tumblr media
"I would NEVER ship catra//dora the way i do if they haven't got a redemption and if the "enemies" part hadn't come to an end. at most, I'd think they have chemistry and potential for making out, but their healthy relationship is only possible due to their happy ending."
i don't even know what to say- this person lost me at "I'd think they have chemistry and potential for making out". why the hell do you think catra abusing adora would be hot, SPECIALLY in a scenario where they keep being "enemies"???? 😭
also, yes, they got a "happy ending". but at what cost?
catra lied to adora and insulted her even during her confession;
catra never really changed, this series simply tried to make it seem like she did (and failed to do so)
adora is now in a supposedly "happy relationship" with her own abuser and sister, while both didn't at least got therapy BEFORE that.
catra didn't need a romance with her victim in order to be happy. she simply needed time to HEAL, just like adora. "but can't they heal as a couple?" no. it just doesn't work like that. you can't love someone else without fully loving yourself first.
NEXT:
Tumblr media
"that being said, catra is open to therapy with perfuma, already sees bow and glimmer as besties, says sorry with ease, happily participates on princesses hugs, isn't afraid to show love and care for adora. and that's when a good relationship is born."
catra may be "trying" to be a better person in canon, but she's far from achieving that. you all say "someone needs time to heal before turning into a better person", but then look at catra, whose "redemption arc" was up for half of the last season and applauds it as "the best character development ever". it also doesn't work like that. it doesn't matter how many times catra saves the world if she keeps treating adora like dirt while doing that (guilt tripping, insulting and beating her up, for example).
basically, saying "I'm sorry for everything" once doesn't mean anything if catra, herself, doesn't truly change.
the last tweet of the thread finished with the following sentence:
"kisses and go to therapy"
all i can say is: thanks, op. you too.
