The way I could WRITE AN ESSAY about how Stolas is a good person who does bad things BUT blitzo see's him as a bad person who does good things

The way I could WRITE A WHOLE NOVEL on how another big offender of this is Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond (steven universe) and Mr Freeze

The way I could WRITE A WHOLE ASS SERIES ABOUT HOW THIS MAKES THE BEST CHARACTERS IN TV SHOWS AND THEIR NEEDS TO BE MORE LIKE THEM

Hockey Kid/Modern!Gem

a/n; I’m not even sure wtf this is supposed to be, headcannons?? blurbs?? droubles?? who tf knows- JUST KNOW THIS IE INSPIRED BY CEO!/MODERN SEV (series by my bestie @archangeldyke-all <33 check them out heheh) ANYWAY ENJOY AHHAHA

Much like her cannon self, Gem is very active and very much an outdoor kinda person.

Before she entered a hockey club/activity for after school, Sevika always had to drag Gem away from Dorthy so both the little shits could get some rest after being out all day and doing god knows what.

Again, as in cannon, she prefers Gem rather than her actual name because of her biological parents.

Sevika always calls Gem, yknow, Gem. But if Gem is in big trouble or she’s in deep shit, all Sevika needs to do is call ‘Emerald’ and Gem is already there, quaking in her boots.

In class, most of the teachers call Gem by the name she wants, well, other than a few (Gem has beef with her other teachers due to her porta potty mouth)

When it comes to anything sports related, Gem, like most kids, can get really competitive and loves to shit-talk, even in front of the people she’s talking about.

During hockey games if someone is being stupid or just being a jerk, Gem has a tendency of cursing and flipping people off (often being sent to the bench because of this) but otherwise, she’s one of the greatest hockey players in her grade.

After those games and Sevika or Jinx comes to pick Gem up after school; Gem loves to spill all the drama from the games, sometimes even getting a last word with a kid across the building before hopping into the car.

“Yeah we were gonna win if it wasn’t for that-“ rolling down the window and sticking her head out “DUMBASS WHO KEPT GETTING IN THE FUCKINGGG WAYYYYYYY!” Closing the window as fast as she can

Any day she can, Gem is always trying to spend time with Dorothy, even if they were in the same classes just that day. Sure, Gem has other friends, but Dorthy is the og, of course Gem is gonna stick with her!

Gem is a Minecraft kid but often plays Roblox just because Dorthy likes it.

“Don’t only, like, five year olds play that?”

“It’s not for babies :( it’s also like, really pretty and has a lot of games!”

“ugh, finneeee.. but only for a few!”

Hasn’t stopped playing since

Some would think Gem has bad grades due to loud mouth and recklessness but in reality, Gem has pretty good grades, the lowest grade being a D in ELA (she just finds it SOOOO boring) which is the only reason why Gem is allowed to cause so much trouble

During recess, Gem finds random rocks or junk for Dorthy to paint just so Gem can show off like “guys my friend is super sick and she’s awesome”

A lot of teachers mix Gem up with the boys (sometimes kids pick on her because she ‘looks like a boy’ but Gem doesn’t care like; okay?? And??

When it comes to parents showing up for mothers or Father’s Day, Sevika always shows up on those days (if she can).

A kid once tried to pick on Gem for not having a dad and Gem has came up with a new term for Sevika ever since. “Super Duper Epic Mom-Dad”

“Do you have a super duper epic mom-dad?? No? Exactly! So buzz off!”

Sevika can’t tell if she hates it or loves it with all her heart

Gem’s favorite show is Steven Universe, 100%.

She definitely makes several references to the show and Sevika is like “wtf are you talking about??” Until one day she catches Gem watching it (Sevika 100% walked in on the scene with Pearl and Rose fusing)

Immediate reaction was “🤨🏳️‍🌈??👉🏼 📺 💎🏳️‍🌈”

When Gem explained the lore to Sevika, Sevika was like

“ohhhh so it is a gay show..”

“ITS NOT GAY MA-”

Sings this song on the DAILY (Sevika knows all the lyrics and even accidentally hums it too atp(

Does anyone else have characters they love as characters and hate as people?

For example, I HATE Princess Bubblegum as a person. I think she is a megalomaniacal sociopathic control freak in desperate need of a reality check. Every bad thing that has ever happened to her, is her fault. As a character, I think Bonnibel Bubblegum is perfect. She a hellion to deal with, willing to go peace for as long as possible but when it comes down to war- she'll go to war! She is an intelligent monarch running a kingdoms of idiots and yet her kingdom is one of most powerful. She is a powerful figure to go up against. If she ever took the things the King of Ooo or Lemongrab said seriously, they would not be able to stop her. She also has good reasons to act like this. She is from a collective hivemind but she was different. Strong enough to be on her own and make a home for her and Neddy. But she's lonely- so she made a family but they betrayed her to and she spends the next SEVERAL CENTURIES making sure no one can betray her again. Her sense of control comes from the moment she she was child and let herself be vulnerable and almost got herself and Neddy "killed". She distanced herself from the other Princesses, Marceline, Finn at times, etc. Like Marceline, she has also been alive long enough to know that it's a cycle repeating. Unlike Marcy who sits on the outside of the cycle to do her own thing, Bubblegum has a such a strong sense of duty to the Candy she's created. Like everything else she tries to control it or at least, keep it away from her kingdom. Bubblegum isn't just a crazy leader who will fuck over any and everyone for her peace of mind. She's a scared girl who got the worst betrayal of her life at a young age, almost resulting in her and Neddy "dying", and is terrified of making that mistake again. Because in the end, every bad thing that has ever happened to her is her own fault.

This is honestly why I have defended Bubblegum and Rose Quartz for years now. These two are shitty SHITTY people but there are great characters.

SOBBING THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE STEVEN UNIVERSE

aiden the moment he lost his sword

[gardenpatchbaby]

I am so sick of fic writers making 10-year-olds talk like babies.

I work with children and have taken numerous classes on adolescent development. Here's some of what I learned because I might actually kill someone if I read another fic where an older child is essentially a four-year-old. (No hate to anyone in particular. Children are confusing.)

(Slight trigger warning for 13 & 14 year-olds. Puberty/sex mentioned)

(Most info is from Chip Wood's Yardsticks: Child and Adolescent Development Ages 4-14)

Oh god now that toh ends with luz being able to travel between worlds ppl are using that to dunk on amphibia. And now that belos died ppl are using that to dunk on su.

They are different shows people! They have different themes! Amphibia is a classic take on isekai as escapism! Marcy went to amphibia to avoid her real life and while she had fun she didnt mature until after she accepted she needed to embrace change in her life! Anne matured in amphibia bc she always recognized that she has her own life to get back to! Sasha matured after realizing that too! Leaving amphibia for good means to embrace the step out of childhood! Something thats inevitable for everyone!

The owl house is about finding a community in midst of ostracization! Luz stayed in the boiling isles because she found people who accepted her quirks! The boiling isles was in danger from a bigot and luz helps her new community defeat him! Its a very queer story! Community is the center of the story so it makes sense for luz to be able to go back to the boiling isles since shes maintaining her place in the community!

Steven universe is about choosing to be kind! Its that everyone has their own specific traumas that they can overcome with the right support! Its about surviving in a world of bigots at any cost, even if it you have to work with the bigots to carve out a space for the people you love! Because people like you exist and theres nothing anyone in power can do about it! Its also a very queer story! The diamonds can never stamp out the off colors because they will always be there! Steven works with the diamonds not because he likes them but because they can improve the world for his family if only he could get through to them! Hes rewarded for choosing to be kind with success because the theme of the show is hope! Hope that anyone can change! But even though the diamonds stop being fascist steven still doesnt like them because its not about forgiveness! Its about fixing things! Stevens just polite about it!

The owl house starts off with the assumption that everyone can change but its not about the potential its about the willingness to change! The focus is on belos, whos had every chance to turn his life around but will never admit that hes wrong! And the show posits that if someone isnt willing to change theyre not worth helping! Its not about whether or not the character is fascist its about if theyre willing to stop being fascist! Several characters stop being fascist and are welcomed by the characters with open arms belos just wasnt one of them! Several characters clean up their acts but dont adequately address the previous harm they did and are STILL fully forgiven eventually! For toh forgiveness is paired with fixing things you just need to give it time!

And theres an argument that some of these shows didnt do their themes well. If you wanted to portray amphibia as an escapism world that the girls need to leave behind to get to their richer futures then having them get such caring found families go against that by giving them a potential of a good life in the isekai world. Steven universe uses the diamonds as metaphors for mental illness and relationships but its hard to stick with that when you also need to consider the countless other gems they hurt. I think its also fair if people prefer one theme over another.

But a lot of stuff i see comparing these shows just go over surface similarities? Like oh shit! These two shows have the same character archetypes! They have the same inciting incident! This must mean that theyre exactly the same in everything but names and artstyle and are trying to say the exact same things! Like. No. Sometimes,,,,,two stories,,,,,,can talk about two different things,,,,,,,

tbh I experience this cake image... so often

[thisisanerror]

I’m being silly.

Thought of this after watching the Keep Beach City Weird episode and kept giggling thinking of Pearl sharing her unapologetically atheistic views with Steven lmao.

[thunderlina]

If you ever wanted to watch a show that featured this cast for some reason, boy have I got good news for you! It's completely real and you can watch it right now and it's called The Owl House.

and Arin Hansen played Papa Titan who isn't listed on BTVA for some reason

Also the fact that one of the storyboarders was Emmy Cicierega, sister of Neil Cicierega??? What a world we live in.

“when she can't trust herself, she can't trust other people, and it makes it impossible for her to be close with anyone. it makes life extremely difficult for her. it makes living difficult for her.” — end of an era

"[rose] couldn't stand herself; self-destruction is a huge theme throughout the show—the struggle of the feeling that you shouldn't exist, & what that can do to a person. a lot of the themes of the show exist within rose." — end of an era

there isn’t just one reason rose planned & ultimately chose to give up her physical form.

(sensitive subject matter before you read further, as this is about rose taking her own life)

some reasons are extremely beautiful & show her sincere, intense love she had for those around her and the person she was creating.

other reasons are extremely tragic & show her self destruction, self hatred, and guilt.

there are many people in the fandom who have no idea (or refuse to believe) that one reason rose gave up her form was because she didn’t want to exist anymore. she knew that she wouldn’t exist anymore & she was just fine with it. when pearl found out she was pregnant, she cried and said, what was rose thinking; she can’t have a baby; i’m going to lose her. rose’s death was a suicide.

/nbh, i just wish more of the fandom, on all platforms, truly understood this about her. it doesn’t lessen her love for steven or others, but it says so much about many aspects of the show. how rose was impacted by people. how she felt about others. why she encouraged others to love themselves. her intentions & so many important themes. many people misunderstand her character in general, with this belief that rose was either a villain or complete perfection. she was a flawed & loving & traumatized & complicated individual. the fandom lacks empathy for her & invalidates all sorts of things. people who are like me, who feel a sense of comfort because they relate to her are often uncomfortable with this. there’s also fans who don’t realize they’re like her because they misunderstand her character. rose’s character being misunderstood is undeniably connected to rose’s self destruction, trauma, & mental health issues getting overlooked by the fandom. if they can’t fully understand her death, they really can’t understand her life, either.

it absolutely breaks my heart when rose is called malicious for her choice to give up her physical form, or when people claim that she left steven to deal with her problems. steven does have moments when he questions his existence, as seen in storm in the room. makes sense for steven, considering his position. the show is from his perspective, but some steven universe fans seem to get caught up in that & they can’t see from the outside perspective that we all have. we’re not steven. steven’s character is someone who i sympathize with, as he is a child who is making sense of things. we only ever see him as a child. but rose & steven can simultaneously be sympathized with. from an outside perspective & from what’s said in books like end of an era, it's clear that rose was genuinely excited for steven to exist all while she no longer wanted to exist.

so, i will never forget pearl’s expression and how she immediately hugged rose after she said, “i can’t exactly shatter myself.”

Electric core this ice core that firecore blah blah blah. All of these ideas are great but unoriginal. I propose a new idea:

Introducing New Life core

You may be asking, "What's a life core?"

Allow me to explain a life core allows its host to create. This could be anything from inanimate objects to something akin to poison ivy level (or a darker mad scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein level)

So I propose a Fic in which Danny himself has a life core and uses it to be poison ivy without the Eco-terrorism or he fights someone with a life core I don't know this idea came to me randomly and I must write about it can we normalize the life core?

Also just imagine the confrontation between the bats and the birds and Danny, him having to explain that no he isn't a poison ivy clone and no he will not use his powers for Eco-terrorism please stop asking

Additionally King Danny turning pariah's haunt into something akin to pink diamonds garden and the Steven Universe movie covered wall to wall and pretty Vines and flowers that may or may not be fluorescent
