How Pearl and Garnet remember the exact same moment is honestly fascinating.
Garnet remembers “the terrifying renegade”, holding her sword straight, pointed right at her, standing like a soldier, ready to strike. She sees Pearl as something to be feared. And boy does Garnet fear her.
Pearl, meanwhile, remembers being flustered and throw off base after almost fusing with her Diamond and the conversation they’d just had. She has her sword, but she’s far from ready to attack, and she’s stunned to see Garnet again. There’s no composure in Pearl’s recollection of the moment.
And it says a lot about how the two of them see Pearl. Garnet remembers Pearl as a serious threat. Pearl remembers herself as a mess.
(of course they both remember Rose being nothing but perfect)
how did my ancestors survive the brutal unforgiving wilderness when I get anxiety sweats from going to Target
to be fair im sure your ancestors would have the exact same reaction going to a Target
In the brutal unforgiving wilderness false positives cost nothing and false negatives are expensive. You’re better off being afraid of something that can’t hurt you than not afraid of something that can hurt you.
In a world where we mostly aren’t in danger, day to day, as long as we don’t play in traffic or jump off something, that’s no longer quite as adaptive.
We got our anxiety from a long, unbroken line of ancestors who were scared enough to survive, and pass on those genes!
It helps me sometimes to think about that at night, when I can’t sleep because my heart is pounding over something like “what if my usually reliable alarm clock doesn’t work in the morning for some reason and I’m late for work and lose my job and everyone hates me.” There’s nothing wrong with me, I just have a lot of extra, unused run-from-tigers juice that my grandparents left me.
“Unused run-from-tigers juice.”
I love that.
