Sometimes I do wonder if men actually get sexually assaulted and abused at a similar rate that women do but a lot of them just don’t know that’s what’s happening to them

I don't think we give Jonathan Harker nearly enough credit for his absolutely unhinged choices. In 1897, that pathetic wet cat of a man was written with enough grit, willpower, and raw human stupidity to rival any of our modern horror podcast protagonists. When faced with a centuries-old vampire, in a coffin, drenched in fresh blood, he really thought the best thing to do was to hit it in the face WITH A SHOVEL. The audacity. The misplaced confidence. The sheer desperation. No plan. No hesitation. Running on fear and spite alone. And i fucking love him for it. Truly the character of all time.

thinking about this post about rose quartz (no hate to op bc this is a good post). i did get hints of this when watching future and i think that because steven universe future is mostly about steven coming to terms with his family inadvertently traumatizing him and rose being the foundation of that that steven is going to have less compassion for her and the things she left for him

steven is someone who's been hurt by what rose did although she had the best intentions and i think su future is trying to say that if that person hurt you, you dont have to forgive them or give as much grace as you normally would. that's important for a lot of traumatized people to learn in a world where forgiveness is often coerced and no amends are made. its important for steven specifically because he's been forgiving people who hurt him for literal years. him having less compassion or metered compassion instead of giving his whole self over to someone else is HUGE for him. that its for rose specifically is HUGE for him. its important to learn that you can be angry at the people who hurt you regardless of who they are or what they personally endured (in rose's case, familial abuse from the diamonds)

but like in the post thats linked, that lesson may tend to come off as mean spirited towards rose and her memory. that is a good criticism of the show because in the end rose is almost completely forgotten about, the reasons for her actions are pushed past by the finale or just called "excuses", hell some of the characters stop calling her rose and go back to calling her pink diamond. that is...mm. i didn't like that and honestly i think its indicative of the attitude towards rose that the show takes on. she chose that identity instead of remaining a diamond and as much as she admired humans for their ability to change she also changed! arguably rose's creation of her identity is a kind of self destruction that ends with steven, its motivated by love and by self hatred and its so interesting and heartwrenching to piece together. but in the end she's dead and everyone is moving on without her. its incredibly bittersweet.

i don't expect steven to be completely accepting of all of his mother's flaws and mistakes because he's in the middle of healing his own trauma and we only got so many episodes. but not casting rose in an entirely negative light wouldve been nice even if from steven's perspective and the shows message that wasn't going to happen. its arguable whether this method of forgetting rose and slowly watching her fade out of the tapestry of the show and out of the crystal gem's lives is sustainable long term. can steven ever completely put her aside and should he?

rose isnt present anymore but steven is. it comes down to whether you should have compassion for the dead or have compassion for yourself. steven choses compassion for himself but in a way i believe he also chose compassion for her. he forgives himself, something rose couldn't do. i believe she would've wanted him to

Why do I feel this is an accurate representation of Rose at herself.

fun fact about rose quartz: her least favourite steven universe character is rose quartz

helpful sites for writers

i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!

Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.

Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!

Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.

Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!

Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!

Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!

Green's Dictionary of Slang; good for looking up "would x say this?" or "what does this phrase mean in this context?" i love the timeline because it shows when the phrase was historically in use. this is english only, though; i dig a little harder for resources like this in other languages.
