WE ARE BACK FROM HIATUS!!! And we sure did miss you, queerfam. This episode is very close to both our hearts, and we hope you will receive it with love, even if it challenges you in some ways. Instead of our usual post-season race roundtable, today we are discussing Israel & Palestine, & our relationship to the current war on Gaza as Antizionist Jews. With us is special guest Kaia from the Western MA chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. We'll discuss our personal histories & how we came to consciousness on this topic, as well as some pretty clear parallels between SPOP & our lived experiences of Israel/Palestine. There are a LOT of links in today's show notes, so please use them! They're WICKED EDUCATIONAL. We will return with regular S5 coverage in late June 2024.

So this one time in the 80's, a fantasy hero child and his white horse bff went on an epic quest that took them to a landscape that was the literal embodiment of depression and hopelessness; and then that landscape of depression SWALLOWED THE HORSE WHOLE IN FRONT OF HIS LITTLE KID BFF'S EYES, leaving a generation of kids wicked traumatized.
Now it's time for ANOTHER white horse (pegicorn, ok) to visit ANOTHER landscape of depression and hopelessness with his human hero bff... but this time, they won't be alone! Because if there's one thing we know as queer folks, it's that the way to survive all the Swamps of Sadness, in this or any world, is through the power of COMMUNIITY.
Hold on to each other, queerlings. We're damn well gonna win in the end!

With the magical nukes at the heart of Etheria looming, friendships and people we love begin to...fracture. Guts are wrenched. BFFs torn asunder. But at least we finally get the wholesomely gay meetcute of Perfuma and Scorpia, who are the best and the winners of every gayest moment forever!

Will Etheria succumb to acid-based climate change before any of this even matters?!?? LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the sparkliest fangirl of them all?!? IT'S FLUTTERINA.
Whilst our dear Flutterina is busy laying it on SUUUUPER thick with the rebellion, Bow and Adora (and SWIFT WIND!) are busy taking in the most amazeballs victory party they've ever seen...and it's all for them! But it definitely WON'T be a distraction from any sinister machinations of one Catra Meow Meow Applesauce. Because, as Adora will be the first to remind you, "this is my JOB, and I'm actually VERY good at it. Just ENJOY the party!" WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.
NOTE: at around 37:42, Jenny accidentally misgenders Double Trouble as "he." We didn't catch it during the recording, probably because it was such a small slip (she correctly calls DT "they" for the rest of the ep). We apologize for this slip-up! Obviously we would never misgender anyone intentionally.

Perfuma and Huntara flirt their way across the desert in pursuit of Mara's ship, and there is SO MUCH gay screaming. (Bow and Adora are there too lol). Glimmer WANTS to be there like soooooo freakin bad, but the Queen must stay in the castle and attend to the adulting parts of Queendom (SO MANY MEETINGS). Meanwhile, the Horde is also after Mara's ship...and we meet a new friend who we love truly, madly & deeply even though they are not entirely unproblematic!

It's SEASON 4 and nothing will ever be like it was, ever again. Lines have been crossed, loved ones have been lost. In Bright Moon, Glimmer must step up and accept her mantle as Queen even as she mourns the loss of her mother, Queen Angella; while in the Fright Zone, Catra must fight the evil forces of Hordak's emo man-baby pity-party to keep both her life and her power. Mourning is messy but it's all part of winning in the end.
