Bad things are going to happen, that's life. You can't let it paralyze you, or you can roll with it, figure out the things you can, trust that your friends have your back for the rest."

After Glimmer activated the heart of Etheria, she felt guilty and wanted to fix it, stating Adora was right and she should've listen to her.

Fanon
Glimadora already had a small following from the original She-Ra: Princess Of Power series, though it gained a much larger fanbase after the first season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Their close friendship often plays into Friends to Lovers trope. Some People prefer this ship since Glimmer and Adora are allies and had more fluffier and softer interactiom most season but most part in season 4 are angsty caused by shadow weaver manipulating Glimmer and double trouble tricking and making Glimmer and Adora have trusting issues. In a way Glimmadora have similarities with Pearlmethyst from Steven Universe and Rayllum from The Dragon Prince.

Fans like to depict the second chance lover is Glimmer with Adora or new love interest since both of them show trust and admire and support each other giving a healthy response. Skinship between the two girls are confirmed since Aimee Careero also says "so much love and so much in common." Glimadora do have relating how long they have grow liking themselves as a person. It's revealed in season 3 Adora thinks Glimmer is special by saying "I never met anyone like you" actually implies the motivation of possible love since such words only given when a person loves the other person deeply. Many times Adora and Glimmer has an almost kiss and the troupe wiki says "this happen cause the real kiss will be saved in the season finale" so romantic interest in this ship may happen since most showrunner on tv shows prefer healthy bond from the start of the show that still continues the relationship growth in all season.

Since She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a reboot similar to Voltron: Legendary Defender with the same animation studio Dreamworks, Some Fans think the show will pulled out the same way of ending as the previous one with slightly different way same with how Klance and Catradora parallels the red and blue troupe with allurance and Glimadora parallels the pink and blue troupe.
