Sexting is just inherently cringe like there’s no way for it to sound serious and NOT cringe and if you’re going to do it you just have to let horny delirium take over and momentarily kill the part of your brain that cares about not being embarrassing
those of you who have been around in the fandom long enough may remember this iconic angst-inducing fic titled “carry our bodies safe to shore” by themoonsneverseenmebefore ─ well, on a random weekend, it just got updated with a very lengthy and detailed chapter!
and although you’re probably not curious for my own review, i left my thoughts in a comment here!
since it wasn’t posted here to tumblr by the author, i got permission from her on bluesky to spread the word here; i’ll leave links to that thread (especially since i know most of y'all moved over there permanently), but also to twitter as well just in case:
“being a human is so boring why can’t I be one of the COOL animals” okay hey. I hear you. but I actually really super love being an omnivorous persistence hunting primate with a stomach capable of dissolving many literal poisons and the ability to smell geosmin (released in the soil after it rains) at five parts per trillion. I super enjoy being a bipedal terrifyingly agile mammal with some of the most efficient sweat glands in the animal kingdom. I find a lot of joy in being an endotherm with mimicry abilities that rival most other animals with vocal chords. it’s sick as hell I’m having a lot of fun
me? rant? about catradora? whaaaaat? ah fuck it who am i kidding, no one’s surprised by this~~
one of the things i love about their promise is that catra actually kept it almost all the way through s1, even grabbing adora before she fell in “the promise” episode itself.
she doesn’t betray it until the castle projects the memory to her, kind of twisting the knife as i’m sure she’d already felt it broken on adora’s end and i’d guess it was already gnawing at her mind, given just how quick the castle was to flash it in front of her once it got her alone.
and part of what’s so important to her character coming back from how far she falls over the next few seasons is her slowly learning to keep that promise without any expectation of reciprocation. realizing that she can’t control what adora chooses to do but that caring for adora has always been her choice to make and no one else’s.
