whenever i’m talking to someone and they tell me about something that happened to them i always tell them about something that happened to me that’s similar to what happened to them. i do it as kind of a “oh hey yeah this happened to me so i can relate to what you’re going through” but i’m always afraid it comes out as “oh yeah well this happened to me so clearly i have it tougher than you” or “i’m done talking about you let’s talk about me”
i swear i don’t mean it like that……..
I run into this a lot with my job - so instead of telling the whole story I say something like, “Oh my gosh, I had something REALLY similar happen. What did you do after that??” And I’ve found that works. Usually they explain and then ask, “So what happened to you?” And then you’re invited to share, and the formula for conversing continues on. :)
of all the tumblr posts i’ve read, this one is going to change my life the fastest lol.
Thanks to both the OP for posting a thing that so many of us do, and the responder who gave us a better way to do it. You’re doing the lord’s work, my friend!
PEARL KNOWS WHATS HAPPENING
AND SO DOES STEVEN I THINK??????????????????
Steven wants a new brother.
No people, no, don’t… don’t, no… don’t make me ship this… no… This ship… oh gosh…
Man if htis happened then that would mean that greg is a quartz magnet since amethyst had a crush on him too.
Make no mistake: trans people are not the dangerous ones.
… these people terrify me.
As a cis woman, I would feel more comfortable in a bathroom with a trans woman than with a transphobic cis woman. The trans woman is just using the bathroom to pee. The cis woman is using it for an agenda.
Fucking hell, protect trans women…
Apparently the crewniverse gave nicknames to all of the Ruby squad:
Doc, Army, Navy, Eyeball, and Leggy.
LEGGY?!

Theory: gems with their…gems in their bellies are just natural born sweethearts;
somewhere one homeworld there’s a Belly Jasper who will just cuddle the shit out of you.
I think it is canon that the gem placement on a gem’s body reflects their personality, with pearl and peridot’s personalities being driven primarily by logic and knowledge (head), amethyst being driven by passion and impulse (heart), garnet being driven by experience and connection (hand) and steven and rose driven by love and instinct (tummy)
What the hell is driving jasper then
sniff
