Am I willing to confess this here on the tumblr discourse machine? Why not. The only reason that I'm not a Steven Universe apologist, is that I'm past the point in my life where I'll apologize for liking a piece of media that's genuinely helped me figure out things about my life that I might not have if I did not watch it. In my 30s I might add.

Maybe certain things (that I'm too old to see that teens and 20s might due to being exposed to different cultural conditions.) I think the core messages are holding up well and clear so far.

And I can't think that it gets to a place where it would be actively encouraging actually harmful beliefs, but I'm at the beginning of my re-watch to check if my initial (I've rewatched many times before) judgements of my moral compass were correct enough that someone trying to find a helpful message couldn't make their way to one. And then just pick out the seeds of the stuff they didn't prefer.

I want to keep going. The show makes me feel things in that raw way like too sappy disney shit or country music. Also it seems to have nice layers of meanings in there like my favorite media always does.

Maybe I'll even tag this and see if I can catch any rotten tomatoes or other soured fruits.

All my fan works are deeply niche and incredibly self indulgent.

I am serving myself. I am throwing an exotic and strange banquet. I am not expecting any guests but you are more than welcome to attend.

I think we got a window open.

Feel like I might be entering my manic pixie dream bear era.

The first time she let Rook hold her, something inside the deepest recesses of her heart snapped. Her body was fighting sleep and her heart ached and bled in silence. She yearned for touch and to feel the comfort of steady hands. She craved the warmth of Rooks existence.

It was late, the sky in the fade had dimmed casting shadows across the courtyard. It was their version of night at the lighthouse. The day had taken its toll on the Tevinter Mage and despite her best efforts, her legs carried her toward the person she had no business walking to. Rook was dangerous and Neve being close to her would only endanger the Shadow Dragons life. Aelia would twist the knife, she always did.

There was an unspoken intimacy—a closeness between them. She wasn’t oblivious to Rooks flirtations, in fact she encouraged it. It was the other part. The gentle and consistent message Rook spoke out loud. I’m here for you. The words rattled around in Neve’s brain until she couldn’t hear anything else. She needed to feel it, she needed to be touched. She needed to surrender herself and feel the safety and reassurance of Rooks promise.

She carefully pushed the door to Rooks room open and slipped inside. The aquarium cast a hazy glow throughout the large space, she could see Rook lying on the chaise sleeping soundly.

Neve sucked in a shaky breath and approached the sleeping Mage. She sat down next to Rooks still form and grazed her fingers across her chiseled jawline.

Rook woke and blinked up at the Tevinter woman confusion gracing her features.

“Neve?” Rook spoke her voice raspy and thick from sleep.

Neve didn’t say anything, she simply laid herself across Rooks chest and shuddered as the other Mage wrapped strong, comforting arms around her body. She pressed into Rook as far as she could go, her hands grabbing fistfuls of Rooks tunic. Rook held her tightly, and Neve squeezed her eyes shut in an effort to stop the traitorous sting of tears.

Neve felt relief and dread all at the same time. How could she ever live without this? What if Aelia takes Rook away?How does she let herself be loved? Does she even know how to love?

“I’m here Neve.” Rook whispered against the crown of her head. “I’m here.”
