So I started to rewatch the show and I'm noticing things I didn't see the first time, of course. This one I think that is really important.
In this scene, Catra is being quite aggressive to Entrapta, she grabs her and scowls at her very intensely. Now, the first time I watched it I thought "well of course, it's Catra we're talking about". But I watched closer this time.
Catra knows one thing here: to stop people from doing something you don't want them to do, you must frighten them. And she learned that from mommy Shadow Weaver.
Also, she likes Entrapta. Entrapta is an outsider, like her. She's smart and she can help her to defeat the Rebellion, and she's been left behind by Adora, like her the Rebellion. Entrapta is one of the few people Catra likes to touch, she does that pretty often (the only other one is Adora, just saying). They're both smoll but deadly also.
Let's go back to that scene. Catra is violent and aggressive, and she tries to scare Entrapta off. One might think that it's because she doesn't want her to be Hordak's lab partner. And they'd be right. She doesn't want her around Hordak, not even for a second, because...
...that's what she's just experienced with him! He almost asphyxiated her (that's torture guys). He threatened her life, and all she wants is to protect her friend and make sure that he doesn't do it to her too.
Of course she does it the wrong way, but it's the only way she knows. And this leads me to another persone she mistreats all along...
It made me think. Catra is kind of mean to Scorpia, but she wants her around, as friend. In fact, Scorpia leaving was the last straw for her...
So I started thinking: what if she kept pushing her away to protect her? Let me explain.
Scorpia's feeling for Catra become obvious quite soon. And that's exactly when Catra starts snapping at her. I might be wrong, but I do believe that she pushed Scorpia away because she knew...
She always knew. And so she knew that she couldn't give Scorpia what she needed, she couldn't love her the way Scorpia loved her. So she protected her, the only way she knew.
That's only my opinion (I even wrote it in my fanfic), but Catra can be so empathetic and protective, we see it in season 5 of course, so, that's what crossed my mind.
10 Reasons Why The 100 Is Literally the Shit
1. The main character is bisexual. Which you never fucking see, ever.
2. Physically disabled characters, one in particular who’s in the main cast, which you also never see. And disabled characters that don’t just miraculously heal, either.
3. There’s more than one gay character, and their personal subplot doesn’t revolve around them being gay.
4. Strong female characters. So many of them, Jesus H Roosevelt Christ. There are no damsels in distress, they all know how to kick some arse on their own. Even smaller roles, like Zoran’s mother in the second season, have substance to them.
5. Diverse cast with Latina characters, black characters and Asian characters, and not just a ‘pretend diverse’ cast with a single black background character who’s only there for some sort of comic relief.
6. They don’t gloss over issues of mental health, class, ethics and morality, which is all practically unheard of.
7. Villains, and in this particular case female villains, actually have some substance to their characters. God, you even sympathise with some of them, and those are the best kinds of villains.
8. Strong, interesting female characters don’t stop the show from portraying interesting male characters, ones who don’t always conform to stereotypical masculinity.
9. The adults in the show don’t treat the teenagers like children. They treat them like the young adults, who have been through a lot more than they should, that they are.
10. Superficially: everyone is pretty as fuck. Literally everyone. It’s a fucking wonderland.
Also, if you couldn’t tell how much I love this show, I’m naming my first born child after one of the characters.
@inbedby1am Why not! OUO
I also draw Catra with a traditional Mexican costume ( just ‘cause she is already considered Latina in some AU fanarts)
As long as it’s Spanish, being Italian, I can get it, but I don’t know Dutch at all. I hope I haven’t written cursing! XD Here’s what they should say in my intentions: Catra (in Spanish):Hello, beauty(or dear)! Adora (in Dutch): Hello, sweetheart!
It’s a multiculural exchange of winks. ♡
