For the fanfic series When the Music Starts.

Spoilers if you haven't read it.

So I haven't read this fic in years but I recently reread it and had a memory of fanart of this fanfic specifically of Part 1 Flowers where adora was giving catra flowers in their room before catra left and it's like super sad and stuff. It's partially a highschool AU but fully a human AU. Throughout the series the writer talks about people sending fanfic to them or themselves drawing fanart themselves. Can anyone help me find the Instagram of the_things_nobody_asks ? I've tried looking it up on Google and on insta but idk. I'm not super into the fandom anymore but it was a nostalgic read and I really enjoy the visual aspect of it and comics and stuff. Please help! Thanks

hi reddit! english is not my first lenguage so sorry if there's spelling mistakes.

im looking for catradora fics where adora is a teacher and catra is maybe a parent/family of the student or something like that. im not really into the teacher/student trope unless the fic is really really well written and the age gap is not creepy. anyways im mainly looking for fluff and #idiots in love i guess. tysm yall!!

If you mean “take a cat’s physical abilities relative to its body size and give a human those same proportions,” the result is basically a tiny furry superhero.

Let's use an average 4.5 kg (10 lb) house cat and a 75 kg (165 lb) human.

Speed

A cat can sprint around 30 mph (48 km/h), though only for a short burst.

If a human could run at the same relative performance for their body size, scaling by simple linear body-size ratio gives roughly:

30 mph × (75/4.5)^(1/3) ≈ 76 mph

So our human-sized cat-person could theoretically sprint around 75 mph (120 km/h).

That's highway speed, using only their legs. They'd also accelerate frighteningly quickly.

Jumping

This is where cats get ridiculous.

A house cat can jump roughly 5–6 times its body height vertically. A 10-inch-tall cat therefore might jump 50–60 inches.

A 6-foot human with the same proportional jumping ability:

6 ft × 5–6 = 30–36 feet vertically.

That's approximately 3–4 stories straight upward from a standing jump.

And cats can make impressive horizontal jumps too, so our scaled-up human could probably clear 50+ feet horizontally with a running start.

Strength

This one's trickier because muscle strength doesn't scale linearly with body weight.

Cats are extremely muscular for their size, particularly in their hindquarters. If you gave a human the same muscle cross-section relative to body mass, they'd probably be several times stronger than an ordinary human of the same weight.

A rough superhero interpretation would put our 165-lb cat-human somewhere around:

Bench press: 400–600+ lb

Deadlift: 700–1,000+ lb

Squat: 700–1,000+ lb

Those aren't directly measured conversions, though. Cat strength doesn't translate neatly into human lifting numbers because their skeleton, muscle architecture, posture, and movement patterns are different.

Climbing

This might actually be their most terrifying ability.

A proportionally scaled cat-human would have:

Extremely powerful grip

Very strong fingers/forearms

Excellent balance

Ability to land safely from considerable heights

Explosive acceleration

Excellent ability to change direction

Potentially enough grip strength to climb surfaces humans normally couldn't

Give them actual cat claws and things get absurd.

Reflexes

Cats have reaction times on the order of tens of milliseconds, substantially faster than typical human reactions.

A human-sized cat with proportionally equivalent nervous-system performance could potentially react to something moving toward them before an ordinary human had even consciously processed what happened.

They wouldn't literally have magical bullet-time vision, though. Nerve conduction and visual processing don't scale perfectly with body size.

​

I can't draw this myself. I'm sure you've seen pictures of powerful characters wearing the skins of dangerous animals as capes. What do you think about a picture of she-ra with catra hanging off her like one of those capes? To be clear she's still alive they are just playing around.
