I Just Love The Huge Amount Of Respect Hordak Has For Entrapta. Not Just Because It Is Cute And Because

I just love the huge amount of respect Hordak has for Entrapta. Not just because it is cute and because it is interesting to see someone who tries so hard to just be the evil overlord be this genuinely good with someone.

Also because it is just so rare that people actually respect Entrapta, not even to mention vouch for her.

What is also interesting that it is the progression of this. At the beginning Hordak is still grumpy and dismissive - never actually abusive, but he just did not expect anyone be able to help him - while at the end he literally fights his way out of two times brainwashing to kill his own god to defend Entrapta.

(This is why “Hordak never became a better person” is wrong. Hordaks arc is not a redemption arc so this is not the focus, his arc is about learning that he can be his own person, and all his evils come from not doing that, but even like that he clearly becomes friendlier and more respectful to everybody who treats him with respect and kindness in turn, which is sadly just Entrapta).

I’m still in slight disbelief that a healthy ship that looks like this, is canon!! ^_^

promise me you will come back

Said it before but: Entrapdak is groundbreaking in showing not just one but two disabled characters who were not inspiration porn AND have them talk about their disability AND then have a epic and healthy love story. Literally never saw that before

Yes, there are still some problems with it, mainly that they are both villains and that it was most likely not intentional but just accidentally writing ableist tropes right (this hurts to admit). But still, its more than I ever saw before anywhere in my whole live

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

PRINCE todoroki seemed appropriate for this scenario!!
