Imagine being attracted to someone named “Greg” or “Kevin” and saying those names in sex. That’s disgusting!!
Do you think showing me some balding anime dude will change my mind
@gaygothur that “anime” dude is named Greg Universe and your saying that Rose Quartz or aka Pink Diamond is digusting
Yeah those are definitely some words but also what the hell do they mean
greg universe is a wonderful person who put his music carreer on hold to be with the woman he loved and lived in a van for years after she passed away so he could financially support his son while he was living with his aunts. Even after he got a lot of money from a song he wrote years ago, he still made sure it went towards supporting his son. greg universe is a wonderful human being.
I don’t think he did any those things at all, and I think it might be because he doesn’t exist.
every party needs a pooper, thats why youre invited
Also, following with the theory that Diamonds contribute something to each of their courts, lets talk about Era 2 Gems.
Peridot’s explanation of why she doesn’t have powers seemed a little off to me. Its clear that homeworld is where the majority of gems are produced and the general consensus seems to be that the reason the gems need to make new colonies is because they wreck the planets they colonise over time. But if thats the case, why are they even still making gems on homeworld? Is it just a huge coincidence that Peridot was apart of the first batch of homeworld gems to not have powers? Why not just incubate gems on newer less important colonies and then ship them back to homeworld? If its gotten to the point where Homeworld is producing less efficient gems, why continue to make gems on Homeworld at all? I don’t think its actually a matter of them just running out of peridot goo to put in the incubators, but because Era 2 marks the beginning of the grand diamond authority being one diamond short.
I think the best example we have of the roles the Diamond’s play is in Garnet’s flashback of the Gem War.
Here we see each of them with a different aura. Yellow seems is electric in nature, Blue has some liquid or plasma field, and White seems to represent light.
We’ve mostly seen Blue gems in action so far, and each of them seems to have some level of hydrokinesis. Sapphire controls ice, Aquamarine and Lapis both use water to fly like wings, and Blue herself has the ability to make people around her cry.
The only Yellow gems we’ve seen are Peridots and Rubies, although Yellow seemed to take her pick from leftover Pink gems like Jasper. Peridot was designed to manage Kindergartens, and whatever cut Centipeedtle used to be was made for piloting drop ships.
Based on Peridot’s fangirling over Yellow, we can assume Yellow’s role (and subsequently, the role of Yellow gems) is more technological and aggressive while Blue’s court is more equipped for the elements and terraforming.
So what was Pink’s major contribution to the Diamond Authority? Looking at Pink gems, what stands out? The only Pink Gems we’ve seen that weren’t either adopted by another diamond or Pink Diamond herself are Amethysts and Bismuths. Out of all the gems, what is Amethyst’s favourite way to fight?
DUDE! This could explain corruption. The diamond attack involved the other diamonds attacking with the parts they contributed to gem production. Maybe the attack amplified those parts of the gems but offset the balance between each diamond’s contribution. The amplified light energy from White allowed them to have increased mass, blue’s emotional energy overloading their thoughts, and yellow’s energy doing… something(?). With only pink diamond’s shapeshifting left as is, the corrupted gems are locked out of their ability to control their form, instead becoming manifestations of their turbulent emotions. This could also be why Steven was able to make Centipeedle temporarily regain parts of her gem form. With some Pink Diamond energy she could make up some of the difference and regain partial control of her form(?).
Edit: Maybe when Steven can fully tap into Pink Diamond’s power he’ll be able to unleash his own diamond blast to heal all of the corrupted gems at once?
if steven can manage to heal the corrupted gems fully, remember how many corrupted gems are in the temple? earth could have a gem army again.
Fairy rings occupy a prominent place in European folklore as the location of gateways into elfin kingdoms, or places where elves gather and dance. According to the folklore, a fairy ring appears when a fairy, pixie, or elf appears. It will disappear without trace in less than five days, but if an observer waits for the elf to return to the ring, he or she may be able to capture it. They are soooooo beautiful!
fairy rings are usually caused by decaying organic matter, generally a tree stump. many types of fungi have symbiotic relationships with tree roots and mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of such fungus. So if a huge old tree was cut down, you’ll often find fairy rings. they can last for years and years as the earth reabsorbs all the nutrients left behind by the beautiful tree.
sorry, didn’t mean to crush dreams - but i have a degree in horticulture and i was really excited when i first learned this.
maybe fairies and fungi are joining together to mourn the loss of the tree
xo
NO BUT FINDING OUT ABOUT WHY FAIRY RINGS EXIST IS ALSO REALLY COOL.
From a writer’s perspective, it’s even more interesting to find out why they exist on a horticultural level, because it opens up a whole realm of fictional possibilities. Science doesn’t have to invalidate mythology or fiction, no more than mythology or fiction invalidates science.
For example, doesn’t that just essentially make this a tree grave? And if folklore has taught us anything, it’s that “fairies” and other spirits usually occupy trees, or have them as their life force. And that’s to say nothing of the folklore of trees being spirits in and of themselves, or kitsunes that live in tree hollows, or dryads, etc., etc.. So, if it’s disrespectful or feels like a slight to step on human graves, wouldn’t that logic transfer to stepping inside the Fairy Circle, AKA, the tree’s grave? It’s essentially giving more fuel to the story, not detracting from it, in my humble opinion!
Science doesn’t have to invalidate mythology or fiction, no more than mythology or fiction invalidates science.
Pokemon fans 2018: Ugh I HATE people who use computers to add Pokemon into their game it ruins it for the rest of us
Pokemon fans 1999: Raise two Sneasels to level 57 who both have Beat Up as their third move and breed an Egg from them, then clone 5 pokemon by turning off your game during a save make sure the 5th one is corrupted data named ? that you can’t put in the PC because it doesn’t actually exist and will brick your game all so the Egg will hatch into a level 0 Celebi that knows Drill Peck
if a family member or a loved one who you’re sure is supposed to be dead sends you any sort of correspondence and asks you to come to a place that’s either a) a swamp b) foggy town or c) a mansion
just don’t go
What about an amusement park. Can I go if a dead relative asks me to come to an amusement park?
Probably not. People with happy childhoods invited to amusement parks by dead relatives learn shattering truths about their childhoods and families, and people with unhappy childhoods invited to amusement parks by dead relatives have to fight monsters.
Either way, just order a pizza and stay home.
What about if a dead relative invites me to a regular park?
as a future dead relative, I understand why these sorts of communications with the living are very fraught. Is there a nice, neutral place I can invite my surviving descendants for a pleasant post-life discussion?
this is a sincere question and not in any way a trap
Going to have to agree with the other people who suggested Denny’s. Most are open 24 hours in case you can only meet at midnight, and, trust me, as long as you’re not, like, actively shedding body parts or covered in maggots, none of the staff are going to blink an eye when a postmortem individual comes in. They’ve most likely seen worse already.
