the need to talk about the characters vs the fear that all of my analysis is just empty prose and surface level understanding

its kind of really awesome to be a huge fan of ur friends art because then they become famous to you. its not exactly the same as making friends with an artist u already look up to its like if michaelangelo was relatively unknown and posted his art to 1 discord server and his tumblr blog. and you just have to sit there like i need people to understand how cool you are. why aren't you being asked for autographs yet

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I really like the idea that steven proposing to connie was a parallel to rose wanting to have a half-gem/half-human child. steven was unwell and wanted to disappear into a fusion (stevonnie), which is pretty much what rose did bc steven is sort of a fusion of rose and greg (although what rose did was more extreme of course). rebecca has alluded to it before:

In the room, we really had to sit down and say, “Well, what? What does Steven want for his future?” It was a bit of a puzzle as much for us as it is for him as a character, but in the end, we all thought, well, he’s gonna want to get married. That would definitely be his dream—he loves weddings and he loves love.

But also, we were just looking at the state he was in, and we knew that with Connie having so much figured out and with Steven not really spending that time to figure out what he wants, that disappearing into their relationship would be really appealing to Steven. A lot of his behavior in Future is not unlike his mother’s behavior before him.

io9: He’s like Pink that way.

Sugar: He is, but again, he’s being himself."

now what I dislike is when people try to make rose's decision about ship wars. "oh so rose chose greg over pearl" rose commiting suicide isn't the same thing as choosing greg. the crystal gems and greg were left behind and she loved all of them. she did love greg very much but having steven wasn't something rose did "for greg" or because "she loved greg more than anyone else". she was an unwell person and her support system (both greg and the gems) failed her.

Not pertinent to anything in particular but I do think it's kinda weird that we keep depicting cavemen in media crawling around on all fours covered in dirt with tangled, matted hair, speaking in broken, cobbled-together toddler language when like.

They were us.

Like literally genetically they were US, just like. A while ago.

Would you trust a TV caveman with a baby? Probably not

A real life caveman though??? I think they'd be at least okay at it

it actually takes 136 years to draw one line. so think about that next time you want to be mean to an artist
