Also, as much as everyone is (rightfully) geeking out over Garnet, anyone thinking about Greg? His whole “NOT LIKE I WAS THERE OR ANYTHING” speech seemed really rushed and false. Not to mention how personally he spoke about the war (and the Gems), despite it being thousands of years ago.

Mr. Universe… who exactly are you?

Rose had healing powers… Was she somehow extending his life?

A friend and i were talking about this and came to hte conclusion that gem pregnancies take a very long time, like how long it takes for an actual gemstone to grow. So what if greg WAS there and rose kept him young throughout the entire pregnancy because she new steven would still need him?

That’s the expected cost to taxpayers over 10 years from Obama’s proposed free tuition plan, the White House admitted Friday.

That’s about the cost of 8 months of war in Iraq. Seems like a much better investment of my tax dollars to me.

I bolded

It’s amazing how 80 billion isn’t worth mentioning when it’s about killing people, but is suddenly a huge, horrifying barrier when it’s about improving lives.

Well then, let me show you, because that’s what I do for a living.

Right now, it’s this time of the year, and the little ones have just freshly hatched:

You’ll notice they’re still blind and naked when they hatch. So I make them little coats to keep them warm during their first winter:

See how they happily line up to put them on:

See? Better. Now they’re ready to go and explore the world.

And if they make it through the winter and we take good care of them, they will grow up to be strong and wise like their older fellows:

So, in case you were ever wondering, now you know.

As a Publishing Professional I can say that this is 10000% accurate, and I am a little concerned you’re just giving away all of our industry secrets on Tumblr.

I don’t think anyone understands how much I love ruby&sapphire/garnet

i begin this post by asking you to examine the designs of all the gems we’ve seen so far (sans steven, a half-human) 

note one major similarity between all these gems: they have no visible ears

i realize this is only a small sampling of the gems so far seen, but i got lazy. just  trust me. none of them have ears.

now, in the return, jasper makes mention of a “yellow diamond”, obviously a higher-up on gemworld. someone who has a lot of power. this someone, could (and probably would), hypothetically, have more knowledge of earth than anyone may know—including jasper and other homeworld gems. 

my theory is as follows: we’ve already seen yellow diamond. in fact, they’ve been here all along. 

who are they, you ask? 

think to yourself. dig deep. who is it that has no regard for rules, or human life? who seems just too strong to be human? who is it that has no ears?

that’s right. yellow diamond, the series’ antagonist, is onion.

i wanted to see how they both compare to Rose Quartz in size

look

look how tiny but so full of love they are they are so precious AAaaagghasghgash

I absolutely LOVE them. They are probably the best thing in the universe.

This scene really tears me up whenever I see it.

Birds and wings are supposed to be a sign of freedom, but as Jasper said Lapis has been a prisoner all her life. Torn down when she’s so close to freedom again and again. And just when she thinks she has it, it turns out it’s not what she thought it would be. And now our baby bird has accepted her fate and the fact that she is no good except a stepping stool for other people, and lives at the depths as a fusion.

Do you see how desperately she tried to fly away it kills me.

Sweet baby bird I love you;
