do you ever think about how Steven Universe created the concept of Fusion as a rather beautiful meditation on the concept of collective identity, how we are naturally different people (in small ways) with every single person we have a relationship with, how your relationship with a person (or persons) is so unique and specific compared to your relationships with anyone else that it’s practically its own person, Fusion being the personification of the very abstract idea of the collective you that relationship is, how a relationship isn’t just a combination of the traits of the people involved but actually has its own traits unique to the relationship that each individual doesn’t have (or doesn’t outwardly express or not to the same extent), that a relationship is essentially its own fleeting often-temporary person, the concept of a collective you being an I and not a we
and then a whole wing of people just decided “oh, it’s sex???” beyond all logical reason and even when the show had children fuse and people with parent-child relationships fuse decided that that must mean the show was condoning pedophilia and incest and rape rather than realize that they just catastrophically misunderstood the entire premise of Fusion, even though the show literally had the main character sing a silly little song about it in the very first episode it came up in which blatantly spells out the concept of Fusion as “the person you are together”
Tumblr is that barren pasture in Costa Rica that was purposely filled with 12,000 metric tons of orange peels by conservation researchers. Initially, the orange peels decomposed into “sludgy stuff filled with fly larvae.” This led to accusations that the juice company providing the peels were “defiling the land,” and thus, the site was ultimately abandoned. But when researchers went back about 15 years later, they discovered “the arid landscape had been unrecognisably transformed into a dense, vine-filled jungle… as for how the orange peels were able to regenerate the site so effectively in just 16 years of isolation, nobody’s entirely sure.”
And that, my friends, is Tumblr.
tumblr is the ruins of a city with ivy coloured buildings full of wildlife that and the only record of what could have caused the citys destruction is the words “titty ban”
The first sentence says 32 and 13 implying that the speaker is 32 years old and their girlfriend is 13 years old, which is both highly inappropriate and illegal. The next sentence reveals the speaker was talking about their game levels, not their ages, which is perfectly okay.
In their reply to the audience they then say they are picking her up from middle school, again implying that their girlfriend is underage, but quickly state she’s grading papers letting us know she’s a teacher, definitely an adult, and there no reason to be upset.
The rollercoaster gif portrays how switching from upset and worried to relieved in such a short period of time feels emotionally.
The next meme shows the guy panicking from misunderstanding, then feeling relieved and calm realizing the truth, only to panic over the next misunderstanding and then calm again when hearing the end.
the above explanation is followed by a picture of data from star trek with a speech bubble’s tail coming out of him, implying he’s the one saying all of that, which is humerous because the above text is written in a style similar to his speech patterns, and with a subject matter he would enjoy
