Adora from flicker!! (bad art + coloring I know but I don't care <3)
Tumblr media
(ID: a digital illustration of the fictional character Adora who comes from the Roblox game Flicker. She is an alien with a blue tongue, pointy fangs, pink eyes, blue skin and blue hair fading into pink. End ID)
I didn't draw her uhh jacket? Or whatever it is but it's fine
I already made a post with many of my headcanons on it however I have gained some new ones since then and I want them somewhere written in words so
On planet Azulian it's (a bit?) uncommon for people native to it to have pink hair/pinkish tint to it and even rarer to have pink eyes, adora has both because wow she's so special and unique 😐😐😐😐😐
She at times while she still lived in Azulian was ashamed of her pinker traits and felt like the odd 1 out, sometimes like there was something wrong with her or her body. She when she was much younger would wear contacts and dye her hair before she learned to get over it and embrace herself
She among many more Azulian people has freckles that resemble stars
She LOVES stickers and has an enormous collection of them
She is open to fashion designing though her design options are seen as too colorful and childish to others
Barely got a drivers license
Loves cotton candy (or any food, really)
roles: twin + muffin man(?) - manipulated into being the witch later on - spectator (dead)
She has rsd
Even though she learned with a ton of time that it matters most to simply be herself, she still has a hard time with rejection and disapproval from others and at times people pleases, what can I say she ain't perfect
I kind of hate the fact that I made her fit the Disney's "adorkable" trope too easily but I still love her
She dies by trying to prove herself (to Rosalie)(oh lord does this entail Rosalie angst and character development)
She HATES water and the way it feels on her skin or tongue or inside her (EndermanCore)
Uses tons of emojis and emoticons in text
I know my image description of my drawing is horrible I need to improve it, I don't know how to though

The Pillow Fight
A bolster pillow crashed against a picture frame. Something Adora didn't expect to have to dodge a moment before walking through the door. The lights were off. A voice came over the house speaker phone, "Hey, Adora."
Adora's eyes were still focusing to the lack of light. And the switches weren't working. "Babe? Uh, WHAT THE FUCK!" She heard snickering over the speaker, "Pillows are scattered around the house. The one at your feet is a freebie. Come and find me," and the phone speaker gave a click followed by silence.
Catra had the advantage. Eyes for the dark and ears for every sound Adora was most definitely going to make. Seemed a little unfair. Adora slipped off her boots. She widened her eyes to try to focus faster - shapes were forming in the shadows. Then she heard tiny thp-thp-thp-thp-thp running across the upstairs hallway. Adora's neck turned toward the sound and when she saw a path, darted for the family room while being sure to step softly with the balls of her feet. But it didn't help as a cooling pillow headed straight for her legs. She jumped and the pillow landed with a loud thud. She backpedaled behind the couch and found another sleeping pillow. She gripped a corner while not quite sure what to do with it yet. Then she heard those thp-thp-thps and then nothing. She had to move. A pillow came at her again, but missed. It missed and hit a table lamp, shattering it in the process. "Catra!" She didn't say anything back. Adora could almost make out a figure and then finally two little flickers of light flashed in Catra's eyes. Adora threw a pillow but the face vanished as quickly as it appeared. It hit nothing but the wall.
"Hon..., you are freakin' me out."
"Just having a little fun, Princess."
Adora's head cocked to the direction of her voice. She found another pillow under the table, grabbed it, and let it sail in that direction.
"Ooo, almost got me."
"Really?" she said a little too excitedly.
"No." Catra snorted.
Adora scrunched her nose. She was irritated and disappointed. It was silent for a moment. Too silent. She could end this by being a literal beacon of light with She-Ra, but this was a challenge and Adora overcomes challenges.
She breathed slow. She calmed herself and closed her eyes - there wasn't much use for them now anyway. The faint press of rug against tip-toeing foot could be heard. Slow. Steady. Nearing. Adora's hands searched slowly. They tried to find any cushion and the closest thing was the removable cushion on the couch next to her. She could hear Catra, but distance was another question. She twisted down fast and latched on to the cushion with both hands. She didn't know why, but she felt it coming. She raised the cushion above her head and blocked a blow, but Catra was far from done.
Adora sprung to her feet, dodged left, and spun around. Attacks came one after the other. High, low, and Adora was easily getting backed into a corner. Catra knocked the couch cushion out of Adora's fingers with a hard hit and backed her into a wall. Catra slammed a hand against the wall beside Adora's head and leaned close, "Hey, Baby."
"This is really messing with my fuck or fight you response right now!"

flicker headcanon dump while i animate
Ally is a baker and she wont stop making muffins. too much.
Rosalie is super dramatic.
Vinny is an insomniac
Alex hangs out with the girls most of the time. He is best friends with Colleen though.
Jojo is rich. I don’t know how but he just is.
Marley is way more mature than the others (or she just acts like it…)
Mason cannot cook. Can and will burn everything on accident.
Jordyn’s a beekeeper!
Jojo’s also really tall. He kneels down to talk to people just to spite them.
Adora and Adam’s planet had an atmosphere of pure nitrogen, And because earth’s air has nitrogen in it they can survive in it. The oxygen makes them feel a bit queasy though.
Adam still hasn’t gotten used to the earth gravity. He falls alot.
Liling has a scar on her leg after she accidentally poured boiling water on herself while cooking.

Some more fanart I drew for "Underneath this Flickering Light" :)
Adora is a disaster librarian who puts too much pressure on herself, Catra is a disaster person who sabotages herself because she doesn't think she deserves good things
That first comic may or may not be creative license from me
Catra and Entrapta are long term friends who are not good at looking after themselves so they look out for each other

Previous chapters: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9
Excerpt:
Adora figured she couldn't avoid the questions forever. She made eye contact. "I... I'm nervous. I hope it works." She peeked at the green lines. "It looks like Horde Prime's plan is underway." Her feet picked up the pace as she proceeded. "I should be in control of my powers. Instead, I'm flickering."
Glimmer held Adora's hand. "We'll be with you. I won't leave your side."
Eventually, the temple projected scenes of Adora's time on Horde Prime's ship. The way he spoke to her. His unwanted touches. Her mind was transported to those moments. Shuddering, she tried to ground herself in the present. The scene glitched. It displayed the things she did under Prime's control. Was the temple's technology trying to slow her down?

Princess Glimmer and the Day of Many Choices: The chipped cat (10/?)
Warning: Angst, mind control abuse and general Horde Primeiness.
"Little sister, it seems like your former friends are getting bolder."
A large hand held Catra's cheek.
"They mean nothing to me now," she heard herself say. "All I need is the light of Prime."
"Don't worry, little sister," Horde Prime said and let his hand linger. "I will protect you."
Tumblr media
"That is all I ever want," her mouth said.
"I will keep you pure," Horde Prime said.
"You will keep me pure," her mouth answered.
Inside of her, there was a part of Catra that screamed in rage and fear.
Tumblr media
"Brother," a clone said with worried voice. "The princesses have entered the space station."
On the screen, for just a moment, a glimpse of Gilmmer's enraged face was seen as she fought furiously with several clones. Catra felt her body twitch as she remembered the last time she and Sparkles had fought.
"Then kill them," Horde Prime said with calm voice. "The impure deserve to die, don't you agree little sister."
"The impure deserve to die," Catra's mouth said. She managed to turn her eyes away as she caught a glimpse of claws and lighting and heard a chord from a simply bitchin' guitar solo.
Scorpia doesn't deserve to die a stray thought echoed in a hidden part of her brain. Scorpia deserves better than this. She deserved better than me.
"You are better off without them, Little Sister," Horde Prime said.
"I'm better off without them," Catra's mouth answered.
"They deserve to die," Horde Prime said. For a moment the screen flickered and showed an icon of a stylized face with purple pig tails.
Tumblr media
"Brother, the computer system is infected," said a clone.
"They… they deserve to die…" Catra heard her mouth said.
I sent her to die
The clone next to her twitched, but didn't say anything.
"When they enter the chamber, little sister," Horde Prime said, looking her in the eyes, "are you prepared to do what you must?"
"I will protect my God," her mouth said without hesitation.
"Good," Horde Prime said. He put his hand on her shoulder.
Tumblr media
Suddenly alarms blared. The sound of metal smashing against metal was heard and a bright light increased in intensity for every moment.
"Brother!" a clone cried. "It's She-Ra. She's…"
And suddenly the great screen smashed, shards of glas flying everywhere. In it's sted, floating in the air, magic and fury radiating from her, was Adora.
"Not She-Ra," Adora said, contemptuously tossing a steel door to the side as if it has been made of paper. "My name is Despara and I am here for My Cat."
"By all means," Horde Prime laughed. "She's right here. Little sister, kill the intruder."
"Ca-catra?" Adora gasped in horror as she took in Catra's blank eyes. For a moment she was entirely herself.
Tumblr media
Catra felt her body starting to move.
Part 9 is here: https://www.tumblr.com/baggebythesea/711047575678156800/hah-i-got-you-the-princess-alliance-are-not

why is there no flicker r34 anymore. make some or something SOMEONE !!!!!! im sick at having to look at old vinluke or johnvin shit from 2020 where half of the characters are white washed and theres no women involved whatsoever (I am lesbian) and my favourite characters are nowhere in sight. PLEEEEASE
uh.
The only ones I’ve come across (as in seen. Not that kind of come.) were of Aphrodite, Annie, Adora, and Arielle (I think?)
And honestly? I’d like to draw suggestive art of it but also I’m afraid bc we are a small community and I don’t wanna be labeled as the cringy nsfw artist and lose all my moots on here qwq

I hate admitting it, but I cried a second time when watching Shadow Weaver die.
It hurts because that... that was the only time she ever chose me and Adora over herself. That was the only time she told me she was proud of me. And it was the only time I ever saw what might have been a flicker of real love in Shadow Weaver's eyes. Heard it in her voice.
And now she's gone. If she survived, would she have shown more of that? Or would she have just gone straight back to her old manipulative ways?
I don't know. I... I really don't.
I probably never will.
- Catra

What did my girl ever do wrong?? What, does she somehow encourage tokenism because she happens to wear pride merch?? How why she's literally an ALIEN she has more unique aspects to her character than other characters who WEREN'T removed. Why was she removed. I don't get it she looks so cool :((
And her "possible redesign" is literally just her without pride merch- what is so wrong with wearing pride merch I don't get it
I dont see problems can someone explain

catradora where they’re sleeping together in the same bed and one of them has a nightmare so the other comforts them 🥺
A faint hum ricochets against the halls of Brightmoon, twinkling and shimmering in nature. That’s the only indication that anyone else’s within the castle, the usual laughter of its halls dulled by the serenity of sleep.  Adora watches as the moonlight filters in through the curtains of her and Catra’s room, staining the duvet with a streak of silver, and illuminating her girlfriend’s face. She looks so peaceful in her sleep; her muscles relaxed and her expression light - it’s a shame seeing her like this had been so few and far between during the war. From her position in Adora’s lap, Catra shifts, and her warmth spills like drops of tea onto her legs. She mutters a few words, meanings hazed by their semi-conscious nature, and her shoulders tense against her. Her hands clench into fists, and her face breaks out into something akin to a silent scream. Just seeing it makes Adora’s heart break.  Adora’s hand stills against Catra’s head. ”Catra?” When she doesn’t immediately get a response - understandable, considering her girlfriend was very much asleep at the moment - she gently yet firmly shifts her palm to Catra’s exposed shoulder, allowing herself a short smile at the way the light illuminated the bumps and ridges that adorned it.  “Catra, wake up, you’re having a nightmare.” Adora says, shaking her in the hopes of waking her up.  Catra’s eyes flutter a couple times, something troubled flickering within them, before widening; yellow and blue, haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, standing out in the dimly-lit room. Her head whips around the room; towards the raised ceiling, the plush mattress the two of them sat on, the waterfall, before squarely landing on Adora’s face.   “Adora?”  “It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Adora murmurs into the scruff of her hair. ”I’ve got you.”  Catra smiles. “I never needed you to catch me.” “I know.” Adora says, returning her hand to Catra’s head, smiling as she lets out a hum of contentment.  “But.” Catra says, averting her gaze, “I’m glad you did.” “And I’ll never stop.”

Can you write about catra and adora getting a baby (not finn)?
“Could we do it?”
Catra blinks slowly awake at the sound of the whisper and tilts her head upwards towards Adora. She’s currently tucked against her warm shoulder and thus very reluctant to move much further.
“Do what?” She mumbles.
Then she sleepily processes Adora’s stricken face and she’s suddenly much more awake.
“Adora?” She adds nervously and after a moment, Adora looks down at her, eyes flickering across her face like she’s searching for something.
“Sorry… thinking aloud,” She says gently, hand raising to stroke a lock of wayward hair out of Catra’s face, her touch lingering against her cheek.
“Tell me what you were thinking,” Catra presses, voice soft enough to not be demanding and Adora holds her gaze. She hesitates for a moment; uncertain and yet wanting.
She swallows hard then looks away, her brow furrowing.
“Could we…” She starts and Catra waits patiently, rubbing her cheek against her in silent encouragement and Adora sighs softly, “… Could we have kids of our own?”
Catra freezes.
Against her, she feels Adora suck in a breath and hold it.
She lifts her head up, leaning on an elbow to look down at her.
“What?” She whispers coaxingly and Adora squirms, glancing away before giving a tiny shrug.
“I just-… I was just thinking about it,” She says hesitantly and Catra blinks down at her then turns her gaze to the side as she processes the question.
Kids… Kids of their own…
“How come?” She asks after a minute.
It’s a safe question; one safe enough to buy her a bit of time to process it.
She looks back to find Adora chewing on her bottom lip and Adora’s hand idly slides up into her hair and starts stroking, drawing reflexive purrs from her chest.
There’s a moment of quiet as Adora thinks, searching for the right words because these days she’s so much more cautious.
Usually in regards to battles but she extends it to the important things and where Adora has learned patience so has Catra.
So she waits.
Eventually, Adora meets her eyes again.
Something in her slackens like she was waiting for the worst sort of response and Catra can’t feel hurt by it because this isn’t something menial like Catra’s insistence that full fat milk is better than the 2 percent that Adora prefers in her tea.
This is important and Adora was nervous because it’s talk of kids.
“I saw you yesterday… at the orphanage…” She says quietly and Catra is thrown back to it.
Nobody more than herself was as surprised as she was that the kids loved her. She’d put it down to many things. The youngest there had enjoyed snuggling in her lap and stroking her fur, the older toddlers had fun chasing her around the room- the ones like herself had a time trying to catch her tail- and the older ones had found her retelling of stories enrapturing, gathering around her once the rest had conked out for a nap just to listen to her talk.
She even did some pretty bad voice impressions of all the characters of the history that she holds close to her heart, the display full of dramatic gestures that were enough to have them laughing.
And somehow, they’d all loved it.
She’d spent the entire afternoon entertaining over a dozen kids as Adora talked to the lady in charge of the orphanage about a possible expansion to the building for those who lost their parents in the war.
At first, Catra wasn’t sure what to do. She’s never had a good parental figure to model herself off but before long she realised that the kids weren’t looking at her like some monster that could hurt them and she could see bits of herself and Adora in each of them; the lizard-like girl who reminded of her of Rogelio was quiet and shy until they got to the more exciting parts of the story and she got up and pretended to be the Big Bad Prime, proudly parading the snootiest voice that she could manage that had made Catra laugh too. There was the small but rambunctious boy who practically flung himself onto Catra’s back as she pretended to stalk an enemy of all fours, cackling loudly as they wandered the room. And a little brunette was there too, tucked into the back of the group, hugging her knees and Catra was drawn to her… to the warm earth brown of her eyes. So she’d gently untangled herself from the rest and left them to play before going to her and sitting quietly beside her, watching the rest for a little while, carefully watching the tension in the little figure bleed away by the moment.
Then she leaned over and whispered, “Don’t you think Adora’s a big dork?”
Wide eyes had whipped to her and she’d grinned.
“That’s She-ra! You can’t say that!” Came the affronted whisper and she laughed before reaching out to carefully- ever so carefully and slowly- stroke a lock of hair back behind her ear.
“She’s my girlfriend. I can call her a dork if I want,” She replied and the girl had giggled, tucking her face into her knees to hide it.
Catra learned later that the girl, named Tally, had lost her parents only a few months previous… that it was the first time she’d laughed since.
It’d taken everything in Catra not to cry at the time.
And now Adora is there, laying with her in their shared bed having revealed that she saw it and it made her think of them… Them with kids.
“Yeah?” She says as she turns her gaze back to Adora.
“I mean… there’s no rush to-… or even to ever if you don’t want but I just-… I saw you with them and I was thinking about- eugh I’m so bad at this-”
“Adora,” Catra interrupts gently and Adora looks at her with soft, uncertain eyes. She smiles back at her.
Adora may never be good at asking for what she wants but Catra’s very good at reading between the lines these days, no longer suspecting the worst from a woman she knows loves and trusts her.
“Why are you scared of asking about us having kids?” She says carefully.
She knows her own insecurities about the idea.
They all begin with Shadow Weaver and them not knowing what a good mother is like.
“I just-… You’re so great with them and I… I want that with you. I want to give somebody or… or somebodies what we never had and… and I don’t know if I’d be any good at it because I know I’m kind of over-protective and neurotic and it can be annoying but despite… despite Shadow Weaver being the worst role model I think we turned out okay and maybe we can do better. I mean, we can do better. I know we can if we wanted to so that’s… that’s what I’m asking…” Adora pauses in her ramble, looking at Catra like she’s hung the stars. “Do you want to… maybe… adopt? Maybe?” She adds quietly.
And Catra spends a moment taking in the soft hopefulness in Adora’s eyes and she thinks of the hours spent in the orphanage and realising she is so much better than Shadow Weaver ever treated them.
A smile spread across her face and purr rumbles in her chest as she leans down to tuck her face into Adora’s neck, breathing in her familiar, soothing scent.
“If you think we can do it then I’m with you… There’s a little girl I’d like to see again,” She says softly and Adora sags beneath her with a contented sigh.
“The brown-haired one?” She quips knowingly and Catra nuzzles into her.
“She’s been hurt a lot… I think we could make her happy,” She says and Adora strokes her hand through short, unruly locks and Catra feels her grin against her cheek.
“Me too,” She agrees.
And so it happens.
It doesn’t take long thanks to She-ra’s influence and pure, unbridled Queen Glimmer power but within a few months the deed is done. They’d been fostering Tally the entire time and the quiet girl had steadily become more and more open as the days passed.
She was like a steadily blooming flower.
She has her own room in the cottage that Adora and Catra share but their door and hers is always open through the night and when she wakes in the dark of night, Catra’s sharp ears pick up her tears and quiet whimpers and she goes to her. She carries her back to her and Adora’s room and finds her wife waiting with open arms and Tally never hesitates to clamber into Adora’s lap and sink into her embrace, her ear pressed over her heart to hear the strong and steady thud within.
She-ra, for whatever reason, runs hot and so Tally always cuddles close into the warmth… then Adora will sing in soft whispers and rub soothing circles into her ear between her thumb and finger and Catra will tuck close to them both and let a gentle rumble of her own join Tally stuttering chorus.
And they will sleep like that; a pair of purrs and a set of soft snores.
And four months later, Tally starts to tentatively pad her way into their room by herself, clambering in between them like there’s no safer place in the world and they both curl around her and hold her gentle but secure.
Five months after her adoption, she whispers into the darkness…
“You won’t leave me too… right?” She says, her voice shaking and Adora and Catra share a teary-eyed look over her head.
Then Catra kisses her head.
“No… You’re stuck with us,” She replies and Tally sniffles.
“… You promise?” She croaks and their arms tighten around her.
“We promise…” Adora murmurs.
“Always…” Catra adds, soft but fierce.
And the little girl falls asleep, cradled between them both.
That night, nothing haunts her and she wakes in the morning with a smile on her face.
She could wake Adora and Catra she knows… but she doesn’t.
Instead she snuggles into Adora’s chest and holds Catra’s hand a little tighter.
She’s home again.

Back To The Battlefield
CATRADORA AUish
Catra sat in the window of the cramped excuse of a room they gave her, alone as she'd ever felt when she flopped onto her bed, forgetting how hard the horde bunks were. Her tail fell gracefully beside of her, the brown, fluffy tip flickering as her eyes darted to the guitar and notebook in the corner- the one thing she still had left of…𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦.
A few moments passed as she laid there before sitting up and picking up her guitar, strumming softly and taking a deep breath. Heterochromic eyes glazing slightly, a soft hum turned into low singing, "Sometimes, wish you could make time to see me How's life? Tell me, how's your little "found family?" I haven't seen you in a while You turned "good", she ra or whatever Miss how we talked, what happened to "forever?" Your guard is up and I know why,"
She sighed, blinking back angry and hurt tears, strumming with her claw now instead of the pick she'd thrown across the room, thudding against the wall loudly from the velocity she used to throw it. She hated to think of those blue eyes right now but her mind could manage nothing else. 𝘐…𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘴, she told herself as more tears fell
"Because the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind I saw you fighting with them, I left and felt part of me die
So this is me swallowin' my pride Wish I could stand in front of you and say I'm sorry for that day And I go back to that battlefield all the time It turns out force captain is nothin' but missin' you" by this point, she was nearly choking from the hurt rising in her throat, memories replaying as the feline female went on, nearly full on sobbing, "wishin' I'd realized what I had, you could've been mine" and oh, how she wished and wanted it, but how could she ever have that now? They're on opposite sides of the war
𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘴? Her heart clenched and fluttered simultaneously at the memories flooding the turmoil filled ocean that was her mind right now. The nights they would stay awake, talking about…Things. Things like their dreams of ruling Etheria 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. That word stung the brunette more than she felt it should have, 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. She wanted nothing more than to hold Adora and say she was sorry for the first time in her life, but she also wanted to prove herself worthy. She wanted to pummel little miss sparkles into the ground
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘨 𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘢? 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘶𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬? 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. She fought thoughts often of if maybe Sparkles made a move on the blonde who filled her every waking moment, and it tore at what was left of her heart. Adora stole it and ran away with it, not that Catra could ever admit that, even if only to herself. Or could she? No, never, not in a million years, Adora was an idiot who left her for dead basically. A cute idiot who had her attention
Catra sighed, running a hand through her messy curls after tossing her mask down, tears cascading down her soft cheeks, tainting the fur there with lines of liquid salt. "I'd go back to that battlefield, turn around and make it alright I go back to that battlefield all the time," and she did, mentally, at least. She'd even snuck out and said it was 'important for a mission' for her to go there, when in reality she sat there for hours, sitting in the exact spot Adora left her. That's something she'd rather die than admit too, needless to say it was a lone mission due to the 'danger it presented'
She began to strum again, trying to regain her voice between shaky sobs, "These days, I haven't been sleepin' Stayin' up playin' back if I did something wrong and you leavin." Why wasn't she good enough? 𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘭𝘦? 𝘐'𝘥 𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘴. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵
"When your birthday passed and I didn't call," she would've made a ration bar cake like every other year, she hasn't eaten in three days just to make that damn thing, and for what? It's not like she could give it to Adora, it's not like she would, either. Just like she didn't let her escape because she liked her. She let her escape because she loved her. "Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times I watched you laughin' from the skid's passenger's side. I realized I loved you in the fall," Catra was a great singer, almost as good as she was at fighting, her mind flicked back to the nights she'd sing Adora to sleep when they were kids, on the rare days it wasn't her turn to be bullied and belittled.
Her mind crept to Bow and Glimmer, hatred filling her eyes as they narrowed, "Then 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴 and arrow boy came, the dark days," she knew Adora was into women, and now she lives with one? Sure, there's Bow, but the thought that Sparkles could make a move and not be with Bow, how it would be so easy for her to just sparkle Adora right off of her cute- stupid- little clumsy feet. "The fear had always been in my mind. I wanted to give you all my love, and all you gave me was goodbye,"
Which is exactly what Adora gave her. She picked a sword and two fellow idiots over her. She wanted to scream, still crying but now violently as she hit her head against the window. Her thoughts continued to race, her emotions matching easily. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶! 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶! 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘵…𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵? 𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭. 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵. But she still loved Adora, and with each fight, she'd almost forget who was She-Ra under all of the heat of battle
"So this is me swallowin' my pride Wish I could stand in front of you and say I'm sorry for that day. And I go back to that battlefield all the time. It turns out force captain is nothin' but missin' you. Wishin' I'd realized what I had, you should've been mine," Catra decided she was going to finish the song, fuck it. She may have started this when she first got force captain, but now that she's moved up? She couldn't tell Adora how she felt, so she may as well write it since she was far too late to right it. "I'd go back to that battlefield, turn around and change my own mind I go back to that battlefield all the time,"
"Hey…There's something I want you to see-" "Ooh, what is it babe?" Adora beamed, wrapping her arms around Catra's waist from behind, causing her feline girlfriend to purr softly and wrap her tail around Adora's leg. "Y'know how I uh…Have been practicing music again?" She asked, nerves hitting her like a skid with no breaks, but melting away like the last snow of spring when the blonde beauty who was now in front of her smiled. "I uh…Wrote this about you-" "Aww! Oh my god! Catra! I-" "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Both nearly yelled at one another, Adora with excitement and Catra because she was being tackle hugged
She got up after apologizing and running a hand through her now short hair, giving Adora a small kiss on her hair poof. "I want you to hear it. Shut up before I throw it away and never speak of it again, I write it in the horde-" Catra blurted out in a slightly higher tone as her checks began to flush, Adora now smiling like the adorable idiot she was. She picked up her guitar and began to strum, a soft smile gracing her features. "I miss your blonde poof, those blue eyes. The only one who was good to me, it felt right. And how you held me in your arms every bad shadow weaver night. The first time you ever saw me cry," Adora listened, enthralled by the gorgeous woman not only in front of her, but now singing for her.
"Maybe this is wishful thinkin', probably mindless dreamin'…But if we were ever on the same side again, I swear I'd love you right," heterochromic eyes met baby blue, both softening significantly while mutually soft and loving smiles graced both women's faces before Catra closed her eyes, continuing, "I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't…So if the guards won't let me in brightmoon, I understand.
But this is me swallowin' my pride Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night.And I go back to that battlefield… It turns out horde life is nothin' but missing you. Wishin' I'd realized what we could've had, I want you to still be mine," another smile crept onto Catra's face, but her checks felt hotter the fires from that tower that almost took Adora from her so she looked away, gazing out of the window. "I'd go back to that damn field, turn around and make it alright. I'd go back to the battlefield, turn around and change my own mind. I go back to that battle all the time…All the time," she finished, the pick in her hand strumming the last chords while Adora stared in awe. Her immediate reaction was to jump up and cuddle her girlfriend, but a question popped into her mind
"Hey, why'd you talk about Glimmer so, well…Angrily?" Catra tensed and she could feel Adora's gentle grasp become more firm in an attempt to get an answer from the feline female. "Swear on everything, and I mean on everything, that you won't laugh?" She asked, first aggressively, then softly as the blonde nodded, holding out her pinky. Their pinkies locked not long before fingers were laced together. The brunette let out a pained sigh, "I…Thought maybe you and Glimmer- because I knew there was no way Sparkles wasn't at least a little bit gay…And We're both lesbians…That maybe…," She took a deep breath, eyes squeezed shut, "I lost my shot with you to her," Catra concluded, opening an amber eye to view Adora once more, who was softly smiling
Adora raised a hand, her other carefully spinning Catra to face her. The blonde's raised hand now cupping her chin, "I could never think of anyone but you, all throughout the war. Glimmer never made a move on me, she'd always had eyes for Bow," she explained, face getting closer to Catra's until their noses began to touch, "I've loved you and wanted you for just as long, long before the day on the battlefield that we'll never have to go back to, love," she whispered against Catra's soft lips before being pulled into a loving kiss
