i feel like if Norman had a tumblr account he wouldn’t make any text posts at all, just reblog those pink-pastel aesthetic pictures but then suddenly theres knives and then back to soft aesthetics
Gymnastics has come a long compared to that old footage, but this difference is particularly significant for black girls! Because they have never taken seriously our abilities! Just because the color of our skin is not what they want to see!
Simone Biles’s fantastic performance has been covered by many news outlets all these years! Now we can see the real difference!
#BlackGirlsMagic
It’s like a metaphor of what millenials have to do to get jobs vs baby boomers lol
I was debating whether to reblog but that last comment did it for me
I remember when XY first came out and I saw people say that it was going to be their first pokemon game and I was amazed. Same thing happened when ORAS came out too. I mean gen 6 was my kids first as well.
Now we are moving ahead with Pokemon Sun and Moon and I have already seen people say that it will be their first pokemon game. It makes me think about the first time I put my pokemon red game into my gameboy and fell in love with a game that has been such a large part of my life.
I hope that whatever gen was your first from gen 1 to gen 7, that you experience that same magic too.
Please go into the tags on this one. Reading all the different firsts is so sweet.
So when the Crystal Gems are all at the forge, Bismuth calls Amethyst “Deep Cut”. She says “Hey deep cut, what’chu packin’?”
When Amethyst pulls out her whip, Bismuth is genuinely impressed and continues, “Not every Quartz can make a whip like this”
I looked up what a “deep cut” means in gem terminology.
“When we discuss colored gemstones such as sapphire, ruby and emerald,the main motive of cut is to maximize color to itsfull potential. In contrast, cutting in diamonds mostly refers to maximizing brilliance.”
“Stones that are too deep will look smaller than expected but they will show off more color than they would if they were cut to normal proportions. Deep-cut stones also preserve weight, increasing the cost of the stone without the expected increase in the size of the crown (top portion of the gem).”
Well, we now know why Amethyst is considered a defect by Homeworld, she came out cut too deep, so she looks smaller. But check out what else it says about deep cut gems; their color is more saturated, vibrant, beautiful. I think that’s why her weapon is special.(Or, if the color has nothing to do with it, then a deeper cut would mean her potential is maxed out. Like maxed IVs!) They also ‘preserve weight’ without having to be physically bigger. That could mean Amethyst has more mass packed in her body than the other gems, which would explain her shapeshifting prowess.
In particular, why Amethyst can shapeshift into someone twice her size like The Purple Puma, or Jasper, without taking damage (when she’s used to the form, Purple Puma vs Jasper, she’s been shown to sustain Puma for much longer without resting). Even then it took a long time before being Jasper started to be hard for her.
In contrast, remember how tired Steven got, from just stretching his body a few inches??
Her smaller body is ALSO why when she finally accepts herself, it takes her TEN SECONDS to reform after she’s poofed the second time:
How long did it take Pearl the Perfectionist?
TWO. WEEKS. So in battle, Amethyst’s small size gives her a tremendous advantage; she can literally save herself from being shattered by reforming almost immediately. No other gem has had that ability so far.
Finally, Amethyst is just deep. She’s a very deep person.
Why else do I think this is relevant? Well…
“Stones that are too shallow will look big for their weight and appear lighter in color than deeper-cut stones.”
Why does that sound familiar?
Oh.
Shallow has several meanings here. Her weapon is a helmet. Her battle strategy is to run into her foe.
That’s a shallow strategy. No one will stay with Jasper because she only thinks of things from her perspective; she lacks insight in other’s emotions. She’s, in a way, shallow.
Or, an allegory for being born with pure talent vs having to work for everything you have, and how shallowpure talent alone really is.
In Conclusion
Homeworld has a recourse problem, and Amethyst’s deep cut gives her all the abilities of a regular cut Quartz soldier plus more, while taking half the resources to create, and they’d consider her a defect?? Homeworld, you fools.
