Why Catra Makes Me Cry
When Adora first left the Horde she told Catra she was leaving because the Horde was evil, did monstrous things to innocent people, and had been lying to them the whole time. And Catra responded, “what, you didn’t know?”.
And there’s so much to unpack there, but what really killed me was when I thought about why that was. Why was Catra so cynical when Adora bought the propaganda?
It’s because of how they were raised. Shadowweaver raised both of them abusively, but they got different flavors of abuse. Adora was the Golden Child and Catra was the Scapegoat. They were both abused, but Catra caught the brunt of the most violent abuse. She knew the Horde hurt innocent people because she was one of them.
And that puts a whole new twist on how angry Catra was when Adora wanted to leave. When Adora said “what the Horde is doing is wrong and we should leave because of it”, Catra’s response wasn’t really “you’re just learning the Horde hurts innocent people now?” it was, “it wasn’t enough to make you leave when they hurt me?”.
That’s why she’s so angry. From her perspective, Adora was willing to leave the Horde because of what they did to these random people they’d never met before. But she’d never offered to do the same for her.
Catra refused to go with Adora because, just by asking, she broke her heart.

remember that time monty got the cops called on him in starbucks and made jokes about being “a shady asian guy looking at weapons on his computer”
remember when monty had to mop up the mess he made after putting the wrong soap in the dishwasher
remember how monty used to dress like a freaking anime character every day
remember when monty “got bored” and put on mocap suits and made a Cinder/Yang dance off?
remember blaine wanting to make a funny vine w/ monty but monty made him redo it multiple times just because he wanted his head bobbing to be perfect to the music?
remember how pleased monty was basing one of the RWBY characters off a K-Pop star
remember what a romantic he was not only setting up Meg and Gavin like a sneaky little shit but also that time he helped michael buy all the pink wrapping paper at CVS and walmart to cover Lindsay’s desk in for her birthday
remember monty using rebel the dog to pull his chair along and roll all over the office
remember him showing up on the podcast to talk about RWBY and for Red Black and White he pointed to parts of his outfit and hair and then for Yellow pointed to himself
remember ninja master monty teaching gavin and michael the ways of fruit ninja and being the most hilarious walk-on deadpan guest on the podcast
we can all appreciate all the groundbreaking and inspiring things monty has done, and how dedicated he’s been to bringing his creations to the world, but we should all remember the hilarious things that made monty who he was.
Crazy to think that it’s been a whole year since I made this post <3 We miss you, Monty.
