God this show fuckin owns. I'm kind of in love with how they handle themes of abuse and manipulation, and escaping abusive home lives, and the differences between children who escape vs. those who stay behind (or get left behind) and how they adapt. They do an amazing (and tragically accurate) job of depicting those themes, especially how the abusive parent will always have a favorite/golden child that is used as an emotional cudgel against the others. Shadow Weaver makes my skin crawl and seeing Catra fight back against her in the end while saying "this is what you trained me for" really hit home for me and made her my favorite character. This show didn't turn me gay because I was never straight

nah yeah you're totally right, and heel-turn wasn't exactly what I meant for the reasons you stated, I just couldn't think of a better way to put it succinctly at the time. Amoral is spot on though. BTW, this is from last page, but I had to go back just now and laugh at how terrible this design was:  It's like what an edgelord 15-year-old me would've drawn after reading a bunch of Liefeld's X-men

Catra owns. Trying to find a good Catra pic, ideally in tux, to replace my current avatar. Wanna try doing the double-tall thing but I can't find a post explaining how to do it. Anyway, here's some Catra fanart I found while looking for avatar candidates I kinda really like this take   If I can reverse the top one so she's facing the posts, and keep the Force Captain badge and eye colors on the right sides, I might go with that one

New av's kinda ugly with the space. It's too bad cuz I feel like the full pose with the hands in pockets is way better than just the top bit, but if it bugs me enough I'll probably just pare it down to the top one later. e: didn't take long for me to get tired of that. Oh and here's the full source pic if anyone's interested:  Anyway, Jon Joe posted:show good Son of Thunderbeast fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Dec 13, 2018 |

twistedmentat posted:Well, Goons haven't mentioned it, and we've discovered some pretty terrible stuff. They aren't all nazis, but there are definitely nazi bronies, and thanks to brony adherence to the Geek Social Fallacies they tend to not get kicked out of groups (though maybe that's changed in recent years, iunno) Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more nazi attention on She-ra, she's pretty drat Aryan ubermensch. 8 feet tall, blonde hair, etc. I guess the nazis must really be chuffed that the teenage cartoon doesn't have bomb-rear end tiddies

They generally don't affect the color you see, it's more that to cover the entire visible sclera the contact lens itself has to be pretty drat big

HorseLord posted:This theory doesn't work because bronies are all huge perverts about it all of the time. It might be a chaste show for five year olds but they don't seem to have noticed. It works perfectly with the theory. Think how obsessed creeps are with getting with a virgin/unspoiled woman (and not one of those whores who has had sex with anybody but them). Ponies are forever this to them

I get the love for Entrapta, I like her too, but of all of them I feel like she has the most potential to do the most evil, specifically because of her amorality. It'd be great if she fluttered back to the rebellion by accident and did some unintentional good things (and otherwise Gir's it up with the gang) but I think it's more likely that she's going to enable (and probably directly cause) atrocities on a scale not yet seen on etheria. The only things she's shown any empathy for so far are robots.
