Entrapdak is still subtext, they didn't confirm it
Y’all can’t be seeing that entire arc and say they ain’t canonically in love. Season 3 and 4 already have huge evidence for it but like we can dive here too.
How about the first time we see Entrapta having a chance to see a dormant clone she immediately goes to it to check if it’s Hordak? She’s in a genelab of some kind, the tech here is amazing, and she’s immediately ignored it to check on this clone.
We learn she recovered the LUVD Crystal and has had it on her person this whole time just in case she finds Hordak and he needs it. She’s carrying it with her because she cares about him, she worries about him, she wants to help him.
She just so desperately wants it to be him, to see him again and for him to see her.
Of course this is Wrong Hordak, which leads to another very important reveal.
Entrapta has been keeping a list. We can infer she’s been watching the clones to try and determine which one is Hordak. This is an active tally in her mind, something she’s been doing. Entrapta isn’t really one to pine, she’s one to work, and this is her working in regards to Hordak.
On Hordak’s side?
Entrapta loses the crystal on Prime’s Ship, and Hordak finds it. Hordak has been reset but he sees it and immediately remembers her, at least her name. His affections for her are strong enough he instantly begins to break control.
Other times we see a solid break of control like this are on chipped people, notably Catra and Spinnerella who break Prime’s grip through their love. This continues too. Hordak continues to have scenes holding and pondering the crystal, and when Prime has him help retrieve memories from an old body we get the scene of Hordak retrieving his own memories.
Notably he takes a risk, while Prime is distracted he lets himself dive into his own mind.
And very notably gets this flashback at the end of the sequence.
Let’s zoom forward to Failsafe, back on Etheria. To their ENCOUNTER. Hordak finds her, asks her what she is doing here. Then sees her and...
He recognizes her.
Entrapta does THIS, and then...
This is a CLASSIC trope right here. Character who isn’t supposed to feel things falls in love and drops that “What have you done to me?”
Entrapta takes his hand. A gentle touch between them as they found each other again.
As Swift Wind pulls her away the last thing she does is remind him his Imperfections are Beautiful, he’s Beautiful. She knows he’s out there, he recognizes her. She knows he’ll come back to her. There’s faith there, and Entrapta normally isn’t really one for that.
And that night.
While everyone else is asleep she pulls up an image of him, just to look at it.
And then, and THEN. The real OOMF moment to it all. Entrapta is captured, Hordak is her primary guard here.
Instantly he is upset to see her upset, and when ordered to kill her later.
He breaks free. He reclaims himself to protect her, to save her. Just as she’s saved him.
He looks back at her, gentle and kind, and dare I say loving?
Entrapta confirms she simply believed in him, in his ability to overcome.
Then Prime does his space demon possession thing, and She-Ra purifies Hordak.
Like do I even need commentary for this?
This is a love arc. It’s really really blatant. They don’t kiss, they don’t say the words love but also its Entrapta and Hordak. That’s not really how they are? That’s part of the beauty of it too. They clearly, very clearly, love each other and it’s in their own way.
tl;dr did you watch the show?
Billie Joe Armstrong literally wrote a song about coming out as bisexual as a teenager, and then like two years later wrote one that was pretty much all about dressing up in drag and getting fucked by/fucking guys, and y'all STILL say he’s a “straight ally” because he married a woman??
this bit where Abed fucking destroys the autistic detective trope in like thirty seconds is one of my favourites, not gonna lie
Imagine like a New Age organ-harvesting ring – the whole wake-up-in-a-bathtub-full-of-ice bit, except whatever they’re “stealing” is completely intangible. Victims all like “I thought they were going to sell me a dresser, but instead they knocked me out and crunged my aura, and now I can’t see the colour mauve”.
i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her
Anyways apropos of nothing, here's an interesting video where an MRI tech demonstrates what happens when you have any loose metal in a room with an MRI running
Now, I'm no medical specialist, nor am I am expert in forensic investigations or even an expert in weaponry and munitions.
But when I hear "laptops, guns, explosives and munitions were stored in an MRI suite" that's the kind of thing that makes me go "huhhhh?????????"
[video description: an mri technician demonstrating what happens when you have a paperclip attached to a lanyard in a room with an MRI running. As he walks closer to the MRI, the paperclip is pulled very strongly by the magnetic fields towards the machine, so the lanyard is pulled horizontally]
Anyways here's a link to the video:
Since pretty much no major news sites (at least in the US) are covering it, please look into how Julian Assange, who isn’t an american citizen, will most likely be approved to be extradited to the United States, where if he’s found guilty he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison at best, and be tortured to death at worst.
While he himself hasn’t hacked into or stolen anything, he’s the man behind wikileaks, which revealed a lot of unsavory information about the United States government- including the barbaric torture of political prisoners and their families, the cold blooded, deliberate murder of iraqi civilians and two Reuters journalists (and the subsequent coverup), the active participation in genocide in yemen, and how the CIA uses smartphones, TVs, and cars to spy on their owners.
While the official ruling won’t be announced until January 4th of next year, he never had a chance at winning the extradition trial- it was purely for show. He’s spent the last years being constantly monitored and bugged- all his meetings with his lawyers have been recorded. He was also kept in a glass cage during the trial, usually reserved for dangerously violent offenders, preventing him from speaking with his legal team.
If/when he’s extradited to the United States, he will absolutely be found guilty of the charges against him and die in prison. This is an incredibly dangerous precendent- a journalist who isn’t and has never been an American citizen, will essentially be put to death for helping expose America’s crimes. Notice the silence around this from everyone- you’re not going to hear about this on CNN, or read about it in the newspaper, or see either of the presidential candidates tweeting about him, except maybe to condemn him. This is a deliberate silence, and if we don’t take it upon ourselves to learn about the blood our government has on its hands and spread that information to others, it’ll go unnoticed- which is exactly what they want. Be aware. Be angry.
