Something that I think is so great about She-Ra is that it portrays selfishness as a good thing. So many stories about “chosen ones” and “saving the world” are presented as acts of selflessness; it’s the sacrifices that bring the world to peace. She-Ra isn’t like that. It isn’t without its sacrifices, we think of Angella and Mara and Shadow Weaver- but they aren’t the focus. Catra becomes more selfless over the course of the fifth season, but that’s just character development- not the thing that saves the world.
Adora is a martyr. Obviously. The classic way for the story to handle this is to have her die in the finale- a death tragic but necessary. If she were to die there would no doubt be statues built in her honor, if she had died in the initial seasons then that death would surely be something that was presented as honorable- something to be avenged and be in awe of. But her inherent heroism, her selflessness, is repeatedly shown to be a bad thing for Adora- the person. Sure, the longevity of Adora’s She-Ra might have been expanded if she had given her life for the cause, the stories told in her wake more grand, a punchier ending to the tale, but Adora herself would have felt no benefit- she would have been a corpse. It is Catra, and Catra’s selfishness, that saves her.
Catra is interesting in that way. We see her arc climax with an act of selflessness- her saving Glimmer in exchange for what she thought would be her life. But it ends with her being selfish, choosing to confess to Adora in the end, desperately asking her to stay- the only thing she ever wanted from her. It is want that saves them both in the end, want is an entirely selfish act.
Adora’s selflessness is questioned throughout the fifth season by Catra, something that is taken as a given by everyone else in the rebellion. They were all expected to lay down their lives for the rebellion, but Adora was on the front lines. This isn’t even questioned by Bow and Glimmer, who stood back when Adora (without any discussion) was unanimously decided to be the one to take the failsafe. Yes, they didn’t know the repercussions then, but Adora was still the leader, and she was the one expected to take the responsibility. Catra’s selfishness, her not wanting to let Adora go is what brought Shadow Weaver’s deception to light. She wants, and that saves the person she is wanting. Want is lifesaving, want is a good thing.
I like this because selfishness is good, actually. Selfishness is the thing love thrives on, it’s why living isn’t surviving.
Selflessness is giving up what we want for someone else’s good. This is good in measure, I’m not saying that everyone should take everything that they want all the time- the world would be chaos. But selflessness can go too far, and we see this in She-Ra. Selflessness can wrap back over into selfishness when you’ve got too much of it- barreling over with giving and giving yourself to other people in a feeble attempt to avoid dealing with your own problems. But the selfishness of She-Ra is the selfishness that is required of love. It is confession. It is, instead of accepting death for the sake of all, fighting for the life you want. Wanting is such a human thing. Not even a human thing, it’s just a life thing. And that same wanting is chastised by the media. We aren’t supposed to want, especially if we’re gay; and if we do then the honorable, right thing to do is to give it up for the good of other people. She-Ra shows us the opposite. Selfishness saves the world and wanting is good.

Entrapta: So, why don't you wear pants?
Hordak: *Blinks* I do.
Entrapta: Oh. I've never seen you.
Hordak: I- I'm wearing them right now.
Entrapta: Really? Ooh! Are they invisible?
Hordak: I don't have time for this. You must know they are behind my tunic.
Entrapta: Well they must be small.
Hordak: Of course they are. All pants are small. Your pants are small, I presume anyway. I can't- see them as you are wearing trousers.
Entrapta: Trow... zers?
Hordak: I hate this planet.

But seriously… he’s having a phase for 30 years straightxD
So hello everyone! 💜
I thought about this topic and the more I thought about it the funnier it became. XD
I think it's clear that the clones were never children, but puberty? Having free will must have triggered this. XD
Also I thought about the mindset of the clones. I find it quite exciting. According to my calculations, Hordak is around (probably more than) 35 years old at the end of the series. But only physically. Since he has the thinking of an adult since the day of his "birth", he is mentally over 50. and I think that explains somexDD
He’s like an old grumpy man who has never gotten over his emo phase… Hordak my EMO GIRL!💜
And last but not least: I will not keep this design for Kadroh! It only served this funny idea. I think I will design a fitting one soon.
