This episode was released yesterday and I have already seen so many people being weird about Millie's pregnancy. Even assuming that she cheated on Moxxie, beceuse they can't see any other reason for her to be unhappy about being pregnant.

Look how happy Millie is with her current life, how much she loves her job as an assasin. Being pregnant and then raising a baby doesn't really fit into her rather dangerous and not very stable lifestyle. It would be a big change for her but also for Moxxie, so it's understandable she is worried about his reaction.

Just because Millie is an adult and happily married, doesn't mean she's ready to be a mother. Or maybe she doesn't want to have kids at all, which is completly valid too.

Sometimes I think about how and why some people had such a *bad* reaction to the end of Steven Universe, specifically in regards to the Diamonds living.

Even though they no longer are causing harm to others and are able to actually undo some of their previous harm by living, some folks reacted as though this ending was somehow morally suspect. Morally bankrupt, even.

And I think it might be because so many of us were raised on a very specific kind of kids media trope:

They all fall to their deaths.

Disney loves chucking their bad guys off cliffs. And it makes sense- in a moral framework where villains *must* be punished (regardless of whether their death will actually prevent further harm or not), but killing of any kind is morally bad for the hero, the narrative must find a way to kill the villain without the protagonists doing a murder.

It's a moral assumption that a person can *deserve* to die, that it is cosmically just for them to die, that them dying is evidence that the story itself is morally good and correct. Scar *deserves* to die, but it would be bad for Simba to kill him. So....cliff.

Steven Universe, whatever else it's faults, took at step back and said "but if killing people is bad, then people dying is bad", and instead of dropping White Diamond off a cliff, asked "what would actual *restorative*, not punitive, justice look like? What would actual reparations mean here? If the goal is to heal, not just to punish, how do we handle those who have done harm?" And then did that.

Which I think is interesting, and that there was pushback against it is interesting.

It also reminds me of the folks who get very weird about Aang not killing Ozai at the end of Avatar. And like, Ozai still gets chucked in prison, so it doesn't even push back on our cultural ideas of punitive justice *that much.* and still, I've seen people get real mad that the child monk who is the last survivor of a genocide that wiped out his entire pacifist culture didn't do a murder.

My favorite rare-pair! Not nearly enough Pentious x Alastor art in existence. I can definitely see them bonding over being from slightly similar eras. We love old man yaoi. 💯
