Stop saying characters who act slightly different are autistic.
Stop saying characters that are both male and friends are gay.
Stop saying characters who don’t act like their gender norms are trans.
Stop saying characters who never mention anything about sex are asexual.
Because these “headcanons” keep harmful stereotypes from finally dying off.
Nope.
I’m going to say it.
Marginalised kids who, in their hunger for any scrap of media representation, latch onto the smallest hints that their beloved characters might be like them, are not responsible for any part of their own marginalisation. Ever.
If someone looks at a character and sees a reflection of themselves and it makes them feel good to pretend that the representation that doesn’t actually exist for them is there somehow? Good for them.
It’s respectability politics garbage to tell marginalised kids that they need lots and lots of evidence that their favourite characters are like them before they’re even alowed to imagine it, just in case someone higher in the kyriarchy sees it and thinks, “Ah! This stereotype is Now Officially Confirmed and I can Be Oppressive with a Clear Conscience.”
Stop blaming marginalised people for their own oppression 2kEver
blue-flavored candy is always the best flavor of candy like what the fuck. blue raspberries aren’t even a thing. we’re literally eating the color blue as a flavor and it’s fucking magical.
I’ll say this about Vegeta. Man can take an Ass whoopin
no pain no gain
I got to hang out with Brian Drummond, the original English voice of Vegeta, this weekend. I felt really bad when I told him my favorite episode of DBZ was 18 kicking the crap out of Vegeta.
With the whole Sayians get stronger after being beaten up and healed that Vegeta would be god tier by now.
Too bad every next big bad is always three tiers above.
It’s no secret that recent events have begun to make people paint Rose in a… different light. Matt Burnett even hinted at something incredibly dark and foreboding that has been foreshadowed throughout the entire show so far.
Recently in the episode “Keeping It Together” we learned that a host of terrifying force-fusion experiments on innocent gems took place deep below the Kindergarten. After discovering the monstrosities, Garnet nearly has an existential crisis.
But I think Garnet is dead wrong. Not only did Rose Quartz know, but she was the original mastermind behind these Dr. Frankenstein-esque experiments.
First, let’s look at the terminal used to activate the chamber.
The terminal features a diamond on the palm and is left-handed. There is a similar terminal that was featured earlier in Lion 2: The movie.
It features Rose’s emblem, but more importantly, is also left-handed.
In Sworn To The Sword we saw a flashback of Rose Quartz in battle.
Rose Quartz is wielding her sword in her left hand. Rose Quartz is left-handed.
Next, let’s look at the state of the gems used in the experiments.
Forcibly glued together. As far as we know, the gems don’t have access to current technology like the goop used to restore the gem warps. That doesn’t rule out another factor though: Rose’s tears.
A cracked gem, sealed using the power of Rose’s gem. We know it’s possible for gems to be glued together without the use of Peridot’s robonoids.
What about Peridot? In The Return she said the mission was to “check on the cluster”, implying that someone had been toying with these gems far earlier than Peridot was around.
In Marble Madness when Peridot first reveals the tubes housing the gem fusions, she was reactivating them, implying they had been there far earlier.
The last two points I’m about to make are the most chilling. In Keeping It Together Garnet said the gems that were broken into pieces were buried, most likely by the Crystal Gems.
Only Rose and the Crystal Gems knew where these shards were. It would be very easy for her to hide a few of them to use for later experiments.
Lastly, every single forced fusion in the Kindergarten took the form of a hand, foot, arm, or leg.
The bubble in Secret Team happened to contained a variety of gem body parts like arms and legs.
It was a Rose Quartz bubble.
This fucked me up
I’m here for this
Okay, here’s my theory. Rose knew the homeworld gems would return eventually. So she started to recreate the clusters she was originally making. When they were all failures, she just scrapped it all together and left them where they stand save the one she had to contain. Knowing that time was running out, she needed a weapon that would be immune to whatever gem destabilizing technology the homeworld might have. A weapon that would fool everyone. A weapon that is both gem and earth. Steven.
i always worry that i’m annoying cashiers and receptionists and basically anybody who has to sit all day and do tedious work
Your cashiers get to sit down?
your cashiers don’t??
Nope, we have to stay standing. Can’t even lean on the counter while waiting for customers to show up on a slow day. Privately owned shops usually have a chair or stool for the worker, but anything owned by a corporation, nope, gotta be on your feet the full shift. Because if you sit, you don’t look professional or some shit.
I’ve actually never had a job I’m allowed to sit down in.
I sit down on a stool by the register all the time. I usually stand up to help people though.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
