i’ve started using the word “sexy” a lot more just because it’s like… an inflammatory word… describing something weird as “hot” is like ok gross whatever but “sexy” just makes people go crazy like either they agree wholeheartedy or they want you dead

Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.

i was giving little wagon rides to a baby around the backyard one day and all of a sudden she hops off and slaps the seat of the wagon telling me to get on because it was my turn and i was like no it’s ok im too heavy and she was like NO ITS UR TURN and kept tugging on my hand so i would sit down. eventually i got on and it was just a little 2 year old trying so hard to push me around on a wagon not understanding why it wouldn’t budge but still so determined to let me have my turn lol

Y’know, every time I see people aghast at how vicious Catra becomes toward Adora as the season goes on, I have to take a moment. I get it: it’s a shock, and it’s hard to watch, and it makes Catra look like she’s gone mad, but listen here.

Y’all remember, in the first episode, when Catra’s complaining about Shadow Weaver’s treatment, and Adora offers the helpful suggestion that Catra is “kind of disrespectful”? 

Adora, between Shadow Weaver’s manipulation and her “softer” upbringing, had always viewed Horde life as strict, but ultimately fair.

I think it’s this realization, this concept, that breaks Catra once Adora leaves. It’s not just the defection. It’s not just a broken promise (though obviously, that didn’t help). 

It’s the idea that Adora finally saw that what the Horde did was evil… so she must not have found it evil before. Meaning that she did not find Catra’s treatment evil. Maybe she even found it fair. Maybe… she found it good, because it pushed Catra down and ensured that she, Adora, would continue being the golden child. 

It wasn’t just a broken promise, it was a lie, a collection of lies accompanied by years of keeping Catra weakened and afraid and easy to beat. This is what she talks about in the First Ones’ temple, and this is what ultimately fuels her cruelty.

Y’all see those leaps of logic? Obviously none of them are true. 

They’re not true, but they’re the ones that Catra makes. Because of their different upbringings, because of the rivalry manufactured between the two of them, because of Catra’s repressed resentment, these are the leaps of logic she makes. They’re clearly wrong to us, but to a child in her position, they make a sick, awful sort of sense.

It’s easy for us to see because we’re seeing the whole situation from an outside perspective, but for a child that has lived it, whose one safe relationship has been tainted by years of manipulation, a child who is now isolated and lonely and in emotional shock… it’s a lot harder.
