Catradora Original Song (She-Ra) || After The War by Reinaeiry 

like this comment if you’re getting the Heart Failsafe tattooed on you I just wanna know how many of us share the same braincell

SPOP: "Was I a good show?" Netflix: "No, you were one of the best."

If you think about it, the series wasn’t even about She-ra. It was actually about the crazy love story between Catra and Adora. I mean, it all began with Adora and Catra going on that glider to the whispering woods. Then Adora left Catra for no apparent reason (to Catra). Of course she would get mad! (I mean that Catra absolutely loses her mind is just a side effect of Shadowweaver’s disgusting parenting). When all misunderstandings are talked out they finally realise that they still love each other and they live happily ever after :)

I really be getting emotional over fictional lesbians and their mental health after the war??? I am so soft because it's not perfect, maybe it will never be, but they are going to work through it all, and I never thought I would say this but I am so emotionally invested, they really deserve the lives they couldn't have due the horde, I am literally cryin, don't touch me,,,

Adora: Were you just singing? Catra: No Adora: You were, i heard you Catra: No i wasn't, i don't even like singing, shut up Glimmer: What's going on? Adora: Catra was singing Glimmer: Oh my gosh, BOW! Get in here, something really cool is happening Catra: It's no big deal, i was just doing...stuff Glimmer: Wrong, it's a huuuge deal, you were singing Bow: Catra was singing? That's so cute, can we hear more? Catra: I need better friends

"You're worth more than what you give" "You're worth more than what you've done." Way to summarize both their arcs succinctly. Jesus I'm crying.

Catra: "OOOOOO Are wE MESSIng WItH Adora?" Adora: "Catra, do you have to sit right there?" Catra: "WHaaaAT, i'M noT doiNg AnYtHInG" *gay purring* ~nya

"I've always loved you though i tried not to". That actually fits Catra's character because throughout the entire series, whenever someone mentioned how much Adora means to her, she always denied it and frequently kept her true feelings for herself and it was only in the finale that Catra finally admitted that she had ALWAYS loved Adora.

When Adora said the line “I used to dream of you next to me,” has a deep meaning to it like they’ve been apart for 3 years. 3 YEARS! That’s just sad and heartbreaking cuz her and Catra have been apart from each other, fighting one another, and just can’t seem to get it together. I’m just glad that in the end they confessed their love for one another and are both finally happy

So this is their song they sing at their wedding right. They're singing they're vows😭😭😭

I'm actually happy Noelle did catradora. I mean if you think about it, the main character of any show ARE NEVER GAY OR LESBIAN, they always do it to side characters.(which is kinda sad :T)Which is why I literally cried tears of blood when Catra confessed AND THEY LITERALLY KISSED😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH NOELLE!!❤

song's name: After the war. my brain: aFtEr tHe wAr i WeNt bAcK tO nEw YoRk

She-Ra: was I a good show? God: No... God: *You were the best*

3 Catra's different hairstyle. 3 reinaiery's song about Adora and Catra. Perfect.

The video: “This is a le-“ Me: *emotional breakdown*

“You’re worth more than what you’ve done.” Just remember that everyone, we are human, we will make more mistakes than we will ever know, it’s only if you put in the effort that you know your fixing things. I love and support every one of you.

When I first saw She-ra Princess of Power on Netflix, I thought it was just a kids show because of the title and it wasn’t gonna have great storyline so I skipped over it although I saw more and more fanart, music, etc on the internet and I was like.. I’ll watch one episode.. guess what? I ended up watching the entire series and I honestly loved it

These line got me .😭😭 Catra -I Was to Blind to see Hurting you was hurting me Adora- Learn to take and not just give , The life you have, It's yours to live This is so Beautiful

ok but if past catra listened to this all she'd think is wtf are stars

Catra: "you'll be safe in a place you matter-'' me: *really* crying

Imagine if Catra sang this as a lullaby to Finn

She-ra was everything Voltron could have been. i’m just happy that at least this show got the ending it deserved.

I think we all need an epilogue or like a movie-epilogue thing BECAUSE I NEED MY BABIES MARRIED Edit: holyyyy jeez thanks for the likes dudes 😎

"Promise me you'll never leave" "Promise me you'll try" ... *THAT HIT HARDER THAN IT SHOULD OF.*

Catra: “Hand in my hand, together we’ll stand.. Under the stars~” Me: *Crying as I prepare to watch She Ra after the song*

Catra: this is a letter Me: THIS SOO FU***NG BEAUTIFUL OMGG

Catradora: kiss Me and my friend: *screams in catradora stan*

This song had me crying because is you think about the whole show wasn’t just about she-ra but about Catra and Adora and how Catra had to learn to love and Adora had to learn to take love and not just give it and finally at the end they both were happy and in love ❤️

Coming back to this two years later and this song somehow hits even harder than it did before

Horde Prime said "bury the gays" and thus perished

not even halfway through and i already love this- update: i’m crying

The ending😍😍💔 aghh “Promise me you’ll never leave” “Promise me you’ll try” So perfect.

this was 2 years ago, yet i still come back. i dont know but it brings me some sort of comfort i need. i need reassurance and this song gives it to me. i love catra and adora, because i can relate to them (not like i fought a lifelong war, and fought an even bigger tyrant in space whilst fighting the one i truly loved, almost dying by her grasp and her almost ending the world) but what i mean is trauma wise. this song makes me cry every time. i love you for making this. thank you.

Imagine the actresses singing this I- Edit: dAmN this blew up. Thank you and I’m glad to y’all feel the same way lol

Best love story Friends to enemies to lovers I'M NOT CRYING AT ALL

As someone who has watched She-ra over- and over, this hits deep. The show means a lot to me as it represents LGBTQ+ in a way- that is simply unmatched. I cried several times while watching it, and I constantly cry because it wont be making anymore episodes. Thank you SPOP for driving me, a 19 year old to come out. The weight on my shoulders was lifted and I feel a lot more comfortable with myself now. And thank you Reinaeiry for this beautiful song.

The She-Ra fandom is literally keeping me from killing myself. 😭 Idk how I didn't know about this shows real ending until last week

Petition to have Aimee and AJ sing this please (especially in that missing epilogue episode that sounds good)

I really thought that after a couple of days I'd stop crying about them two. And yet here we are....

She-ra is actually one of the shows that made me realize I was bi along with Avatar the last air bender

Wrong fandom, I know, but this this just ripped open that old Clexa wound...

[Catra] This is a letter to the girl I was before things will get better you'll be safe in a place you matter I know how it feels right now but you'll make it through somehow I know you're misunderstood but do what's right and do what's good I used to dream of you next to me but now you're really here and I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home The next thing I know it's after the war and you're next to me hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars oh how I wish I never doubted of you but we'll fix this together hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars [Adora] This is a letter To the girl I was before You'll find that destiny Is not set in stone, it's yours to own I know how it feels right now But you'll make it through somehow Learn to take and not just give The life you have, it's yours to live I used to deam of you next to me But now you're really here And I wonder if this feeling Is the feeling of coming home The next thing I know It's after the war And you're next to me Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars Oh how I wish I never doubted you But we'll fix this together Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars [Catra] I have always loved you Though I tried not to I was too blind to see Hurting you was hurting me You're worth more than what you give [Adora] You're worth more than what you've done [Catra & Adora] You're worth everything to me You're priceless, you see And after all is done We've only begun x2 The next thing I know It's after the war And you're next to me Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars Oh you're my heart Never to part And now we're together Hand in my hand Together we stand Under the stars Your hand in my hand Together we stand Under the stars Your hand in my hand Together we stand Under the stars [Catra] Promise me you'll never leave [Adora] Promise me you'll try [Catra & Adora] Promise me a life with you Together, after the war Oh together, after the war x2 This song is beautiful, your all work

“Promise me you’ll never leave” “Promise me you’ll try” Cue me *SOBBING*

I am bawling my eyes out at 3am.. Spop has gotten me through so much. It helped me become comfortable with my sexuality. I used to think there was something wrong with me. I felt guilty for loving the same sex. But this series and all it's LGBTQ+ representation made me feel accepted, like I was in a safe space to be myself. This show saved me. It's the source of my happiness.

The best 6 minutes and 17 seconds of my entire life.

My only complaint is that there wasn't an epilogue episode. Edit: Holy Hell, 600 likes in 2 days!?

the one dislike couldn’t see what button they pressed because they were crying

It’s been months since the show ended and this still *HURTS* listening to this again

[Catra] This is a letter to the girl I was before Things will get better, you'll be safe in a place you matter I know how it feels right now, but you'll make it through somehow I know you're misunderstood but do what's right and do what's good I used to dream of you next to me But now you're really here And I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home The next thing I know it's after the war and you're next to me Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars But we'll fix this together Hand in my hand [Music] [Adora] This is a letter To the girl I was before You'll find that destiny is not set in stone, it's yours to own But now you're really here And I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home The next thing I know, it's after the war And you're next to me Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars Oh how I wish I never doubted you But we'll fix this together Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars [Catra] I have always loved you Though I tried not to I was too blind to see Hurting you was hurting me You're worth more than what you give [Adora] You're worth more than what you've done [Catra & Adora] You're worth everything to me You're priceless, you see And after all is done We've only begun {x2} The next thing I know It's after the war And you're next to me Hand in my hand Together we'll stand Under the stars Oh you're my heart Never to part And now we're together Hand in my head Together we stand Under the stars Your hand in my hand Together we stand Under the stars Your hand in my hand Together we stand Under the stars [Catra] Promise me you'll never leave [Adora] Promise me you'll try [Catra & Adora] Promise me a life with you Together, after the war Oh together, after the war Oh together after the war :)

Im so sad that She-ra is over

I recently finished She Ra. It surprised how good it was!!! Catra's redemption, although not perfect, sends a very hopeful message!!!

She Ra is now one of the shows that will be forever remembered, and it is one of the greatest cartoons of all time 😭😭

I usually don't cry at _anything_ like movies, songs etc I cried at this

Since the whole lyrics aren't in the description or any comments I can see, I transcribed them. [Catra] This is a letter to the girl I was before things will get better you'll be safe in a place you matter I know how it feels right now but you'll make it through somehow I know you're misunderstood But do what's right and do what's good I used to dream of you next to me but now you're really here and I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home The next thing I know its after the war and you're next to me hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars oh how I wish I never doubted you but we'll fix this together hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars [Adora] This is a letter to the girl I was before you'll find that destiny is not set in stone, it's yours to own I know how it feels right now but you'll make it through somehow learn to take and not just give the life you have, it's yours to live. I used to dream of you next to me but now you're really here and I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home the next thing I know its after the war and you're next to me hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars oh how I wish I never doubted you but we'll fix this together hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars [Catra] I have always loved you Though I tried not too I was too blind to see hurting you was hurting me you're worth more than what you give [Adora] you're worthh more than what you've done [Catra & Adora] you're worth everything to me you're priceless, you see and after all is done we've only begun we've only begun [Catra & Adora] the next thing I know it's after the war and you're next to me hand in my hand together we'll stand under the stars Oh you're my heart never to part and now we're together hand in my hand together we stand under the stars your hand in my hand together we stand under the stars your hand in my hand together we stand under the stars [Catra] Promise me you'll never leave [Adora] promise me you'll try [Catra & Adora] Promise me a life with you together, after the war oh together, after the war oh together, after the war.

People who say Catadora is toxic please leave. You are not welcome here.

It's so sad to see that SHERA is over but i hope that Adora's dream will be true♥️😭

Who else wants 2 hear AJ Michalka & Aimee Carrero sing this duet?! 😍 HOLY SH#T!!!!! 1000 LIKES?! 😱 Thank u guys SO MUCH❣️🤗 I’m glad there’s so many who like my idea! 😁

Fighting a war is difficult. Learning to live after the war seems impossible. I like to believe these two have enough left in them to really LIVE, now that their fight is over. I have to believe it's possible. They deserve each other. They deserve love. Even if we never get a continuation of this series, I have to believe that "things will get better". You have articulated in song what I found difficult articulating in speech. Your contribution to this fandom took me by surprise in the best way possible. Thank you for making me feel the way I do when I listen to your work. -J

I know this is meant to be a love song but as someone going through grief and self hate, there’s lots in this song that also feels like an ode to self love and the person we want to be. So thank you

I feel like a good song to write for them would be called "Promise"

Me to reader of this comment: I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING

Boi, when i heard "this is a letter to the girl i was before" i just cried

This song is really heartwarming and it reminds me of how the best friends squad made us laugh and cry through out their journey. Am gonna miss She-ra a lot. Thanks a lot reinaeiry for this song and thank you Noelle Stevenson for a series that we'll love and remember for a long time .

Adora's shirt is so similar to her skin tone that every s i n g l e time I see the title card I have to do a double take.

If we don't get spin off wedding movie with them singing this Noelle Stevenson will never hear the end of it Edit: I understand that oftentimes problems in spinoffs the original creator is not always to blame. Sorry my bad

I think Catra's redemption arc might actually be one of the best I've seen. Second only to Zuko's, maybe.

"learn to take and not just give, the life you have, it's yours to live" thanks, i didn't want to cry tonight

NOELLE NEEDS TO SEE THESE OH MY GOD YOU ARE LITERALLY SO TALENTED

“I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home” hit so hard DAMN

This song is so beautiful. I’m now rewatching the show and so many of the early moments of Catra and Adora hit differently knowing then ending. Those moments show how hurt Catra felt but it feeds so much worse knowing how it ends.

I don’t cry super easily, especially around people, but I have literally never listened to this song and NOT cried. Just…wow.

reinaeiry: *breathes* Me: *literally blacks out from sobbing to hard.*

I would love to see a collaboration between you and Annapantsu. You both have different and unique voices but I know that they will sound AMAZING together

I want to sing this at my future lesbian wedding

When I first watched She-ra, I couldn’t get past 1 second of the show. But then after a year or two, I finally watched it and loved it.

I actually want AJ and Aimee to sing this- even in quarantine i would love a cover from them

the one dislike is horde prime

after going through homelessness and severe mental health (discovering my chronic depression and my autism)... this song really hits. i wish i could go back to the back to the past to give myself the self-encouraging part of this song. it really made me think about how it gets better. thank you. thank you... the catradora parts are now for my fiancee, and i recently introduced her to she-ra so... i'm rewatching it with her and she says that we are literally catradora... i cry as i write this. i doubt anyone will pay attention to this, but i needed to put this out there as a thank you. -finn and jaiden: my love, my best friend, my soulmate... if you see this, know that i can't wait for our life together for eternity. use this song to remember that youre stronger than you think especially in regards to the journey you face with transitioning on the outside to the beautiful woman you are inside

I was looking for music to listen to while I do testing cause it’s testing week for me and I happened to stumble upon this and decided to listen cause I saw Catra and Adora on the thumbnail and now I’m crying...

It is such a crime that more people have not heard this, it’s so beautiful

"and i wonder if this feeling, is the feeling of coming home" -maam, U ARE A WONDERFUL LYRICIST. this song is such a beautiful description of catra and adora's journey. thank u for writing this song, still sad about the show ending but this was so warm and comforting, it made me smile and feel a bit better :))

I just wanted to say; this song was my anthem thru some troubling times and nowadays im livin the after the war part finally. My fiance (he/they) and i are gettin married in September; and we have alrdy arranged to have a dear friend sing this song as im walked down the aisle to them. Thank you for this song, it both captured catradoras lesbian love story and the lesbian love story of me and my fiance, who totes still is a lesbian even as a he/they enby (ill fite anyone who disagrees with him). It will probs nvr not bring a tear to my eye, and that wss without it bein our wedding song :3

the line Destiny is not set in stone its yours to own really hits me hard

Brain:Wait- what are they wearing- Me: shush it’s a beautiful song! Brain: why are you even watching this you don’t even watch she-ra Me: if you don’t shut up I will watch all 5 seasons Brain: wait please don’t-

"You're worth more than what you've done" that line makes me cry so much everytime 😭

Im convinced that this is how love feels like 😭

Cuando Catra dice "promise my you"ll never leave" me dolió el alma :")

I'm so gay for short hair Catra

Canon: they sang this at there wedding as their vows-im not crying ok maybe just a bit 😭😭😭😭😭

after listening to the remaster of empty spaces, I'd really like to see one for this with Annapantsu as well, the Empty Spaces remaster was so damn good

Don't mind me, just taking a little nostalgia trip from when I first discovered this series and your wonderful covers ❤

I CANT BELIEVE IT THEY'RE CANON I CRIED SJJ IN HARD OF HAPPINESS IT STILL HASNT REGISTERED IM SO SO HAPPY OMG

I'm not crying YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S CRYING *Ugly crying at 3am*

I love how this is in F. A very comforting key, which is perfect for this song.

Nobody is talking about how great her voice is 😍😍😍

I’m JUST SOO SAD THAT ITS OVER MY BABYS NEED ANOTHER SEASON OR MOVIE 😭😞🥺

i miss them😔

After all this years, this song remains everything to me❤
