Talking up a storm about Adora and Catra (link to Mastodon thread) only confirms my initial impression that Catradora is Finn/Slip if they had been a lot closer and Slip had lived (there’s also a lot of Nines and Zeroes in Catra, too). Despite what some random anti-anti yelled at me before blocking me (wtf?), Catradora isn’t about one of them abusing the other but rather about two victims who were torn apart by favoritism, fell into an unhealthy but stable dynamic as a result, and are still dealing with the fallout.
