When you stop the bullies who mocked and threw down smaller kids on the playground.
When you investigate the teachers who willfully propagated racist comments.
When you fire all the recess aides who turned a blind eye to bullying.
When you fix the broken system that suspended children for saying they thought about taking their own lives.
When you take back every parent’s utterance of ‘kids will be kids’ as they sat in a principal’s office for their kid calling a little girl a slut.
When you revoke 18 years of systematic censorship of children crying out for help.
Then you can talk to me about how I’m “corrupting your children” with my “millennial bullshit”.
Merc work is full of unsavory, morally questionable crap. However, we’ve seen some guys go to heaven upon death.
Despite any sins they may have committed, they’ve been welcomed to the good beyond. Now, Medic has surgically affixed the other eight souls of his teammates to his own.
What I’m saying is: essentially, Medic has, in taking their souls, absolved them of sin and assured them a peaceful afterlife. And if that ain’t the sweetest, most selfless shit you’ve ever seen, I dunno what is.
It’s pretty great how the exact same action–naming their identification code–has the complete opposite meaning for these characters.
For Peridot, it’s a sudden sharp reminder that to Homeworld, she isn’t special; she’s one of thousands or millions of Peridots, and her individuality is meaningless. Her time with the Crystal Gems has made her feel unique and welcome, but that won’t last if she goes back to her home planet. She’s not just Peridot, she’s a Peridot.
For Amethyst, it’s an exciting revelation that she has a place, an identity, in this world and family that she never had the chance to know. Even as a member of the Crystal Gems she’s always felt like an outcast and a misfit, but know she knows EXACTLY where she came from. She’s not just Amethyst, she’s THIS Amethyst!
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.
