today i found out that when monarch butterflies migrate south for the winter, all the ones that go across the middle of lake superior suddenly stop going south and go west for five miles and then continue south. which really freaked scientists out cos like What is in the Middle of Lake Superior what do Butterflies know that We Dont Is This The End Times etc. anyway turns out about a hundred million years ago there was a mountain there and the butterflies still think they gotta fly around it. classic butterflies
Every single time someone tries to make Jasper and Peridot sympathetic I wanna bash my head in.
like theres this thing where if someone likes a character, they suddenly cant be evil? like??
there’s a way to add depth to a character without completely rewriting that character and ignoring whats there and this isnt it
but sympathetic≠not evil. Like Jasper is definitely evil, she’s a bad guy, but when we saw her chained desperately calling out to Steven I felt a ton of sympathy for her.
sidenote: I don’t think we know enough about the circumstances of homeworld gems to say if they’re redeemable or not
…You and I are clearly watching two different shows because Jasper was PISSED and wanted to kill Steven.
The furrowed brows and the way she was angrily repeating “You.. YOU!!” don’t read as sympathetic.
They read as murderous. She wasn’t trying to get Steven to help her she wanted the person who ruined all her plans dead.
^^^ This isn’t a cry for help. This is a “I’m going to destroy you”.
I love both Jasper and Peridot AS VILLAINS. and tbh idc if people wanna head canon/draw all the redemption arc or other fun stuff. That’s what Fandom’s about. It’s when people blindly love these trash lords without recognizing the fact that they are trash lords.
A Evil/Bad character does not become sweet and misunderstood because you like them
Not to mention peridot was creating abominations of nature by forcing the corpses of fallen gems to fuse, putting them in great pain. I really don’t think that frankensteining without remorse is redeemable.
Temporary jobs or not, you should still be able to house yourself on a minimum wage salary.
You can house yourself on full time minimum wage, it’s called having roommates.
^^^^ this is called derailing
In the fifties a single working man at federal minimum wage could support a family of him his wife and two children. Housing, food, transportation, and education. Quit this roommate shit and let’s be better.
“Yeah, that one bedroom apartment is gonna be $800, plus, electricity, internet, heating, and water. So, about $1200 on top of the $400 for your outside bills, and whatever else on food, gas, and clothes. If you work 3 jobs at $8.25 for minimum wage, you’ll just make it! :D”
imagine a muggleborn enchanting a bath bomb so it works like normal but it works instantly and never dissolves so it can be re-used over and over again but then they’re showing it to their friend on the deck of a cruise ship and they drop it overboard into the ocean and because all the oceans on earth are connected it only takes a few hours for all the water in the world to be contaminated by the bath bomb and because the water cycle is broken the only potable water left on earth is the stuff that was already bottled but that runs out quickly and all the plants die, destroying the food chain and rendering Earth uninhabitable. Within a few years, earth is completely lifeless, although fragrant, and from space it is a brilliant sparkly pink.
