→ It's my time now, I deserve this love,
No it's not just luck, cause I made a sacrifice

I play a constant game of "how many voice overs can I squeeze into a video" and let me tell you I'd put more in if I could sigh I have no self restraint..

The first 50 seconds took 3 weeks. The rest, I did in one day after s5 aired. And I spent around 2 weeks just staring at that blank space there and not having the faintest clue about what to do with it.

A little explanation: I picked this song not because what 'sacrifice' means by default.
I wanted to use it in two ways, kind of contradictiory at the beginning to say what they sacrified to try to achieve their goals: Catra sacrificing her good side in order to gain power; Adora hurting her friends with her sacrifices not realizing how she has the responsibility to stay, how she can hurt them by becoming a slave to the 'greater good'.
Then comes a turning point when they're forced to face the consequences of their actions. Catra: she hurt people and and has to overcome her fear of rejection in order to grow. Sacrifice her toxic pride to ask for help and affection. Adora: she has to sacrifice her constant desire to put literaly everyone else in front of her own needs. Realize how much it can hurt others in the process. Learn how sacrificing one's self can be the easier way sometimes, and it is harder to chose to fight for what she wants instead. To stay.

So, in a nutshell. Sacrificing their good traits to achieve their goals vs. sacrificing the need to prioritize those goals, to grow and regain the good traits. In the end, they achieve a balance, together.

I'm super into overanalyzing everything if you couldn't tell it by now lmao

I think I needed to write that down for it to make sense for me too.
But yeah, I liked this way of twisitng around the meaning of this word.

Why am I not talking about season 5? This box is not large enough for me. I'd write essays, novels, BOOKS about how perfect it all was. Catra's redemption, Adora's journey, the best friend squad coming together, Bow and Glimmer, yess, Wrong Hordak, protect him at all cost. The music, the costume designs, the voice acting.... The whole thing was funny, heartfelt, angstfilled, well paced, and most importantly about, and made with LOVE. It is everything that I didn't know I could want from a show like this. From any show, any piece of media. For the creators, anyone who took part in creating this: thank you so, very much.

ENJOY
