ok but, this isnt a mermaid kinda deal, where you can just flip two bits and be done with it. a manticore has PARTS
theres a lot of other interpretations of em out there, but for simplicity lets say theres four defining Big Features to work with that i can swap around
first up, the back bit (scorpion tail) and front bit (human face) are switched, giving us a scorpion face. if we were being really accurate the scorpions entire head actually consists of a lot more legs, but were not, so it doesnt
then instead of a lion body, its a bat body, swapping with the wings and giving us, incredibly, another fucking pair of bat wings
this would be the bit where the human tail goes in but guess what
and then I GUESS instead of bat wings, the reverse scorpion would have LION WINGS !! but theres no such thing so we gotta go with the closest equivalent, which is just a big ol goddamn pair of lion arms
Jasper has literally beaten Steven before. Lapis stole the entire ocean. Peridot has tried to kill the gems more than once. Lars has always been a dick to Steven. Sadie kept Steven from going back home on the warp pad for days on an island just so she could have time with Lars. Ronaldo had kidnapped Steven before. Ruby almost accidentally boiled Steven alive, and Sapphire almost froze him. Pearl was going to let Steven fall off that cliff-thingy in the Rose’s Scabbard episode. Steven watched as Amethyst emotionally toyed with his father by transforming into Rose. The goddamn mayor almost ran him over with his truck before. Despite this, I don’t believe Steven holds any grudges against them.
but fuCK KEVIN
Kevin was sexist. every other enemy doesn’t care if you’re a male or female.
like it feels as if one day it just kinda appeared and now it’s almost as if i can’t imagine a time before we could find out 22 ways your cat has more enemies than you do
it’s 2016, callout culture has gone on for more than long enough now, let it die, it’s time
callout for this post wtf is “callout culture”
callout culture is falling out with someone and digging through their archive to compile a list of things they said five years ago to turn total strangers against them
callout culture is reblogging a callout post for a total stranger made by a total stranger out of a misplaced sense of moral righteousness
callout culture is overusing the word ‘problematic’ to the point where saying something out of ignorance thirty years ago is placed on the same level as assaulting children
callout culture is expecting people to disclose deeply personal information pertaining to their mental health, experience of abuse and other incredibly sensitive subjects before engaging in a discussion with total strangers
callout culture is bombarding people with accusatory messages as soon as a celebrity or tv show they like fucks up, as if it was their fault or they can do anything about it and as if it’s possible for anyone or anything to be perfect enough to be deemed worthy of fandom by those standards
callout culture is refusing to give people room to fuck up and then grow and learn and to acknowledge that people and media mean a lot to people for an enormous variety of reasons and expecting people to be able to (and to want to) just cut all emotional ties they have with something or someone when they fuck up is unreasonable and unrealistic
callout culture is claiming to stand for social justice, but driving young teenagers to the point of suicide because maintaining a sense of ideological purity is seen as preferable to remembering that we all used to be ignorant on various issues and educating those who just didn’t know any better
Remember when Leelah Alcorn committed suicide and people actually started digging through her blog for ‘receipts’ and making posts like “uhm just so u know she was anti-otherkin sooooo”
