Things I really enjoy about Adora’s fantasy of the future in “Heart”:

• while Glimmer’s and Bow’s hairstyles have changed, Catra’s hair has grown back the way it was (though she now wears it in a ponytail). I like the short-haired look, but it was something forced on her in terrible circumstances, and even subconsciously, Adora seems to get that.
• she imagines future!Bow with a desperate attempt at a beard. lol
• she imagines Glimmer combining a fancy princess dress, her sparkly cloak, and an … undercut, I think?
• she imagines herself with longer, mostly-flowy hair (not on the She-Ra level, but she does have She-Ra hair envy…), a delicate tiara, and a simple She-Ra-themed dress, while Catra is wearing everyday clothes and dodging Glimmer’s attempts to spruce her up.
• Adora is on to Glimbow, or really wants it to happen; Bow is wearing a royal cloak and Glimmer’s other earring (apparently wearing an item from the other person is a very big deal in Etherian romantic relationships) and Glimmer leans into him
• meanwhile, Catra is wearing Adora’s Rebel pin (I can’t remember if real Catra is doing that)
• Catra is carting around a white and gold jacket that matches Adora’s dress, either to put on Adora or to match Adora.
• this time, it’s Catra reaching out to her—and indeed, when Catra declares her love, Adora does envision it as Catra physically reaching out for her.

Tagged: #i hope adora does get her she-ra dress someday! #but the sequence is both charming and a little sad #like... the episode raises the question of what /adora/ wants #and she honestly wants so little? #a) catra b) her friends c) a princess outfit of her own #i do love the little snippet though

I meant to reblog a bunch of these and never reblogged any of them, but I really enjoyed them all and wanted to preserve the Adora feelings fest.

I reblogged a video clip of a bunch of black horses walking and then galloping along a beautiful beach and tagged it:

An anon asked:

Do you have any thoughts on bridgerton?

I replied:

I haven’t watched it. I liked most of the books when I read them (several years ago now), but not Daphne’s so much, and … idk, the general approach as far as I’ve seen kind of grates on me. I mostly want it to succeed so things I care more about have a chance at getting adaptations, too!

An anon asked:

Have you seen emma 2020 yet? I'm dying to know your take on it haha

I replied:

I haven’t, sorry!

I’d like to say that it’s the PhD taking up too much of my time, but … lbr, it’s actually that I’ve been watching cartoons for seven-year-olds.

my off-the-cuff review: costumes and set great, acting and some scenes good, felt that the script didn't give some plots the 'weight/space' they needed maybe?

[ETA 7/11/2024: I still haven't seen it, so I can't judge properly!]
