so
according to some fucking idiots on tumblr
•rebecca sugar and the crewniverse hate butch people and black people
fuck these people who cant see past this nonsense to see the fucking message of the show:
LOVE
Everyone on the show except garnet has had their moments where their emotions have made them do something bad. i don’t see why people are clinging onto bismuth. Remember when amethyst beat the shit out of steven to prove a point? or kidnap steven and take him to a wasteland? or that time pearl manipulated garnet? or that time pearl almost got steven killed? or that time pearl kidnapped steven to take him to space? or those many times peridot tried to kill the gems? or that time peridot sold them out to yellow diamond? Or that time greg faked an injury so steven would be there to take care of him? or that time jasper kidnapped corrupted gems?
if u were a gifted/talented child who grew into an anxious adult w fragile self worth and a perfectionist streak that makes u abandon things if ur not good at them immediately clap ur hands
It makes me feel conflicted. By all accounts, bismuth was correct and that weapon could have been a turning point in the war, saving everyone and you can’t even use the “but at what cost” argument because the cost probably wouldn’t have been as bad as the diamonds song, which forced all gems on earth sans roses posse into a fate worse than death.
I have no reason to disagree with bismuth. I have no good reason to disagree with her. And that makes me feel queasy. And that is why I like the show. Because it’s not all black and white, but various shades of grey.
1) how are gems given sentient life, 2) can it be applied to non-gem minerals, and 3) if so where are all my magical sentient sea shells and bones and ice cubes and shards of broken ceramic pots
i dont know the answers to 1 or 2 but heres the answer to number 3
a sea shell “gem” based on ichthyocentaurs (HALF MAN HALF HORSE HALF FISH with lobster claw head decorations)
