1. Amethyst

I feel like a kid whenever I'm near you. It's hard to hide, I feel so vulnerable. You stripped me of my armour. You made me afraid but I liked it. I want to tell you that you can strip whatever is left of me, and I will be willing to stand there and let you do it.

But before that, you have to catch me. I like the game of hide and seek, running and chasing. Every time I had to chase you, every time you had to chase me, it gave me the satisfaction that I'm not proud to tell you. Don't give me that look, you and I both know that whatever game we are playing, in the end, the loser gets to win, the winner gets to lose. You know you can catch me, because I let you.

I love whispering things into those pretty ears of yours. Feel them so close that my lips can almost touch your skin. Sometimes you will laugh, sometimes you will stay silent, your skin getting more red, sometimes you will turn around and let your lips touch mine. Your reactions are my goal and I'm an over-achiever.

Teetering between pure love and pure lust, what to choose? Sometimes we are so close to being enemies to each other, then we fall over into lovers. I don't know how we do it but I like to keep it a little ambiguous. The suspension, the uncertainty, those uncomfortable feelings make me feel alive.

Not to mention that people are so confused about us. I bet they can sense something between us, those flustered looks, those closer than necessary touches, those innocent exchanges. They can guess but they will never know the depth of our connection.

I actually love the feeling of sitting on the couch, waiting for you to come home to me. Once we've built our nest, I don't want to leave it. I don't want you to leave either. But I know your free spirit well enough not to tell you my wish. But you can't blame me if sometimes I use some "tactics" to entice you to stay with me. Hey, I can hear your snicker. You think someone like me saying this kind of thing is probably lying. Well, I do lie, but about the opposite thing, I lie to the world that I'm not a home-body, that my life is a constant motion, moving here and there, that I'm someone who always takes charge. My lies will be so convincing that they can even fool you. Yes, I know I like to change things, but look closer, you will find something that stays the same no matter what. I hope you won't give up finding it because I won't make it easy for you to find it. But I know you like a good challenge.

2. Rose quartz

I have so many things I wanted to tell you, but the moment those words arrived at the tip of my tongue, they took a U turn and went back. I don't know why I like to betray myself like that.

I would tell you how this ice cream tastes good, but all I could think about is your taste. I would tell you I like the feeling of warmth when sitting near the fire, but all I could feel is your heat. Same old stuff, same old stories, same old jokes, repeated again and again. What am I trying to hide? Why can't I just say what I want? What am I so afraid of?

I feel like a yellow rubber duck, floating forever on the surface, can't never get deep enough. Well, at least I get to be with you in the bathtub, not complaining. Here I go again, using light words to camouflage my feelings and desire for you. I don't want to be a tease, I want to be an arrow, striking its target at lightning speed.

Use your finger and sink this duck down into the water, and keep it that way. Hold me down, keep me still, until I'm drown in you.

Giving and taking, holding and embracing, I want it all, I don't want a single experience to slip through my fingers, I want to salvage everything, to savour slowly then to devour swiftly.

I want you to be the cold, harsh truth to my soft lies. The punishing force to my innocent crimes. But I also want you to be the embrace that I can fall into, the laughter I long to hear in my darkening days. Greedy, I know. And you can be greedy with me too. You ask and I will give.

Will you say no to my dreams, saying they're just pipe dreams, forever should be in the land of the unreal. Or will you say yes and applaud them? I know I can make them real, I know I can turn my thoughts into things that others can see and feel. I have faith. I just want you to have that same faith with me. Wouldn't it be nicer to have two who dream the same dreams? And nicer still when those two can create something together. I suggest a family, kids, pets, just a few examples.

I wish to take you everywhere, to meet everyone I know and everyone I haven't known. The feeling of a community, of connections always warm my heart. I hope you understand that. But it's okay if you don't, because there are probably lots of things I don't understand about you either. And let's keep it that way.

3. Tiger's eye

I have so many plans for our future. Since the first time when I met you, probably in some corners of my mind, I've been drawing up our plan together, our imaginary home, our imaginary kids, even our imaginary pets.

Talk to me, tell me your own delusions, give me more fuel, rile up my imagination. Delusions create the world. Or so they say, or so I say. Doesn't matter. Because I'm actually nurturing these delusions of mine into reality. Just so you wait and don't act surprised when they do come true. I have the divine on my side. You can't beat it, I can't beat it. And believe me, I've tried.

I've tried to go against the nudges, the little push behind my back so many times. It usually didn't end well. I still found myself in the exact place that I needed to be, whether I wanted to or not.

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying this to tell you that being with you is against my will or I want to fight back our connection. I just want to explain the way I do things in general. I do bizarre things, say bizarre things sometimes, a lot of times, actually. You would think these are all jokes. They are. When you're viewed as a weirdo, it actually gives you lots of freedom to do things your way without people exclaiming disappointment or shock. What's there to be shocked and disappointed if they already viewed you as someone capable of everything, even unhinged things. This is the way I deal with the world. Quickly, so they will be out of my sight and let me focus on other important things.

For example, you, the sight of you, up close, inching ever closer, faraway, walking away but never be out of my sight. Curate an art exhibition for me. With pieces of art showing your myriad expression and sounds. Showing you in different clothes or without. I'd love to just stand there to watch and listen. Then, when I'm brave enough, I will be an art thief.

4. Carnelian

Let me tell you upfront, I'm not the kind to forgive easily. And I know with each pain I'm getting, I'm also dissing out more pain towards others and myself.

I get easily obsessed about everything, good or bad, mostly bad things. They've burnt a piece of me. I've been betrayed in the past. So many betrayals that made me angry towards the world, towards myself. I just wanted to go away. No, not to hide, but to gather my strength again and come back and confront. I used to be the one that is caught in other's claws, now I know how to catch them in my claws.

But this kind of behaviour ruined my soul. I want to sweep away all these pains and anger, to lighten my existence. It's almost a wish that I've been keeping to myself for all this time. And now you know about it too. And I'm glad that you can help me make it come true. Pull me out of this destructive cycle. Help me breathe and look for the light.

I say hurtful things sometimes, you probably will fall victim to that some day and I want to ask for your forgiveness beforehand. I let my pride get in my way a lot of times. To prove my point, to prove my worth, to prove that I'm strong, that you can't hurt me. But you can, you just choose not to. I know I'm at your mercy. This makes me uncomfortable, but it's actually not so bad. I'm getting used to it. Thanks to your humour and gentle touches. For every hurtful word of mine, you replaced it with your kiss. If I ask you to cry for my pain, will you do it, in my stead?

You sure know how to tame me, or just anyone ever met you feel the same way? Stop, I won't let myself go into that direction of thinking. Let's just focus on us. Teach me how to dismantle someone's defence like you did to me, step by step. Just so I can understand what's being done to me. I want to know everything, grab everything in my hands to understand it.

Don't worry, I won't do it to you, because you will come to me defenceless. Is that how you will win? Will I take all I can and leave you with nothing, or will I give you all and be a part of it? You decide.

Note: I usually pull one oracle card to read their energy better. With this group, three cards wanted to come out. I looked at the cards, the fish, the bear and the scorpion, then tried to put them back because that's too many. Right at the moment I put them back into the deck, I felt a sharp pain in my rib-cage for a split second, so I decided to put the three cards down and read them for this group. And guess what, a part of the stone layout does resemble the scorpion's tail.

5. Aventurine

I'm putting my best behaviour for the world to see, for you to see too. In this world of everyone fighting to get to the top, I just want to honour a softer energy. To nurture and harmonise everything, everyone. But I pursue that desire with the mentality of a soldier, a worker, diligently getting closer to my goal every day. I don't know how to do this, to be honest, I'm properly doing it wrong. Shall I just agree with everything to keep the peace, or shall I fight back?. Is it possible to honour something that I don't understand?

I have a dilemma of being a little people-pleasing. I like to hide and push my individuality to the back. Let my own compass take a back seat while letting others dictate what's good for me. I can't deny that a part of me wish for this. To let others lead me and I will do what was told. And I just want to trust you with that responsibility, putting myself into your hands.

The only thing I want to control is how I do things, those small details to get the job done. I guess I'm just overwhelmed by the large responsibility of life that I fuss about the details. When can I stop putting my mental energy into banal things and think about the bigger picture? Will I ever meet my calling, my destination?

But good news, I'm learning. Those days that I hid in my house, alone, probably did me some good. I'm learning to be with myself. So that I can be with others. You will get an early access, of course, with special service.

I'm glad that I can feel safe with you, enough to whisper in low voice about my spiritual belief. It's always there, with me, protecting me. The last thing I want is to be called strange. Especially from you, and lucky for me, you won't. You will never do that to me, that's your kindness. To other people, they can see me getting upset at our carpet being spoiled by coffee. They probably will think that I was upset because of the cost of getting it cleaned, the ruined aesthetic. But to you, you will understand the reason immediately. You will know that I believe a spirit lives in that carpet and spilling the coffee will hurt them. Keep it a secret for me, okay? Pinky promise.

6. Prehnite

The first time that we met wasn't the first time I saw you. I had seen you ways before that. I just needed time to build my strategy, to infiltrate into your life as smoothly as possible.

I was patient, time was on my side. There is no need to rush. You had your guard up and I didn't want to scare you away. Heck, I sound like a predator, circling its prey. Or maybe I was? You tell me.

But I do know that you didn't make it easy for me to approach you. I have to confess, I almost gave up. I have a habit of letting go too early. A sign of things derailing, then I will be up and going. I couldn't be bogged down by anything, or so I thought. Love was never the end goal for me. It was just a side effect. Even lust had not much meaning to me. I just sped up ahead, leaving them behind. I was pursuing total freedom. I viewed everything as an object to be studied, to extract information from, to help build my personal library. I basically lived in my head.

What's mysterious force that kept my patient in pursuing you, I don't know. Maybe you are the biggest mystery that I've yet to solve. And that thought was the beginning of my demise. At least, my old self's demise. I'm enjoying myself right now, with you.

But you also didn't make it easier when we're together. What are you? Divine punishment? It's not like I have the option to pack by bags and go back to my old way again. I've already burned the bridge leading to it. No coming back now.

You push me to the edge, and I will pull your hand with me. Let's fall together then soaring up again. When our wings are tired and broken, plunge me back to the depth, and I will show you how enticing it is to be with me down below. You're afraid, but you're also brave. I won't do something that I know you can't do or don't want to do. That's our unspoken oath.

[crystallilytarot]

Your life after marriage. Choose a crystal /rock.

Pile 1 - marble

You will have everything financially. It depends where you want to live, of course, but I see a big, cozy house. Maybe a garden too or just some flowers/ plants and sunshine. A few luxury item too. You will probably move somewhere else with your spouse and it will be hard, at least in the beginning. Or one of you will travel a lot because of work, I think it's more likely your spouse. And it's gonna be hard because you can't spend so much time together. I feel both of you are mature, not neccesseraly like you are older, but you are both emotionally available, understanding and open. So if anything is bothering you, you can talk about that with your spouse always. I feel you both need to pay attention to this, because there are emotions and both of you want to know and understand each other. But sometimes you can get distracted because of work or just because of life, and your responsibilities. So take time to talk to each other always, and this can be a very harmonious relationship. I think you will travel together too, even if you only have time for a little trip sometimes. If you want children, I see a child, but can be that later you have more. I think there will be age difference between the children, if you want more. One of you feel like a little bit of an overthinker or just worry a little too much, but the other person is going to help with that. They feel like a lion or a bear. I mean like they are powerful, succesful, wise but calm too. I see you cuddling after a long day in the couch or in the bed. You can overcome anything together, your spouse is always there for you. It doesn't matter what happened, any bad thing, gossip, they are with you no matter what. And you can give strength and hope to each other. It is a very strong bond between you two.

Pile 2 - rose quartz

I feel either both of you are young or you just don't have so much experience in terms of relationships. Or at least one of you are more innocent in this way. But it can be that you didn't have this kind of relationship before. Because it will be different. Even if both of you were in relationships before, it will be so much more than that past connections. Special in a way. But because of this, you both need to work on this, but you both want to work on your relationship too. You won't take the other for granted. I see that you will always be able to compromise, in any question. Like a win-win situation, but it's not a good example, because neither of you will loose never. Even if you do something for the other person, they will do something for you too. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. You both find each other beautiful. And it's not even lust, you don't just think that the other person is sexy, but really beautiful, almost like an art. Chemistry is very good too, don't worry. It's a pretty balanced connection. I can see that you will go to dates even after being together 10, 20 years too. I see a picture of those cute older couples. You both can be strong when there is something hard in your life. You can overcome it together, but I see that neither of you want the other to worry, so sometimes you will rather suffer silently than asking for help. This can cause a little conflict from time to time, because it's not like you are bothering the other, they really want to help. I feel like you both are dreamers, but you can work hard too. I can see you both are romantic, it's like from a movie, roses, champagne, jewelry, little gifts, little love notes, everything. You are both so sweet. I think even your wedding will be very romantic, even if you don't want a big wedding, it will be just beautiful. Cooking something together, just really everything sweet. Little conflicts can be happening of course. I think it's just because of a hard time at work, money or for some of you, there will be people in the family or some friends who won't want you two together. Or I think they are just jealous. You don't want to pay attention to them, but they can be toxic, so if you can, it's better to not talk to them at all. It can be that both of you will have some new beginning in the first years of your marriage. Changing jobs, finishing your studies, something like that. So even if you want kids, I think it will happen a little later. Even pets too, I guess, because I think you will need time to get used to your new place together first.

Pile 3 - tiger eye

There are families, who always doing something together. A trip, going to the zoo, decorating for the holidays, kite flying in a windy day. Sometimes it's not even that you talked about it, it's just random. Like the kids say one morning they never seen a lion, okay, so let's go to the zoo. It feels like you always know each other, like your life will be completely different than before, but in a good way. Even in rainy days, the sun is shining for you. Sexual chemistry is very strong here. You can be soulmates. I think you will more likely live in a house with a garden, in the suburbs, or there is a park nearby. Don't get me wrong, I can see that you have everything for a comfortable life, but you can find joy in simple things. Watching the birds with the children. Enjoying a hot drink on a cold day. I think you will have a few gatherings too, birthdays or just enjoying a nice meal with friends. I can see 2 children, and I would say at least 2, can be twins. It's a very nurturing connection, it's like your home is your safe place, for both of you, and for the children too. Both of you are givers, I think the children will be like this too, no selfishness in your family. A very happy, lively home. For outsiders it looks like too good to be true, so you need to be careful who you let enter to your house, I don't think they really want to start a drama, more like some people can be energy vampires. Don't let them bring their toxicity to your well deserved happiness. If you do something creative, you will have more inspiration than before. Or just the inspiration to get up even in a hard day, because you will be happy finally, you will feel like you belong and like your life is complete. I see a lot of gifts, not always expensive ones, but like a little flower from the children. Or someone go out of their way to do something to make the other happy.

✨🔮 Witchy Self-Care for Every Kind of Babe 🔮✨

🌙 Moonlit Meditation

Find a quiet spot under the moon, whether it’s your backyard, a park, or even by a window.

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine the moonlight washing over you, filling you with calm and clarity.

Syncing with the moon’s cycles—new for fresh starts, full for release—can help you align with nature’s rhythm and your own intuition.

🍵 Herbal Tea Magic

Brewing tea isn’t just cozy; it’s a ritual. Choose herbs that match your mood—lavender for calm, peppermint for focus, or chamomile to unwind.

While your tea steeps, stir with intention. Think about what you want to manifest or let go of.

Sip slowly and visualize yourself absorbing all that grounding, earthy energy. Bonus points if you use a cute witchy mug!

🛁 Crystal Baths

Make bath time a ritual by adding crystals like rose quartz for love, amethyst for peace, or citrine for positivity.

Pair them with bath salts or essential oils—lavender, rose, or eucalyptus are always a win.

As you soak, picture the water cleansing your energy, leaving you refreshed and glowing.

✨ Daily Affirmations

Start your day by speaking affirmations out loud. Try things like, “I am powerful,” “I attract abundance,” or “I am exactly where I need to be.”

Write them on sticky notes or a chalkboard in your sacred space for daily reminders.

Remember, your words are spells, so speak with confidence and intention.

🍃 Nature Recharge

Spend time outside, whether it’s a forest, park, beach, or just sitting barefoot on the grass.

Breathe in the fresh air, feel the earth beneath you, and let yourself connect with the natural world.

Collect little treasures like fallen leaves, stones, or shells to use in your craft later.

🃏 Tarot or Oracle Check-Ins

Make pulling a daily card part of your morning or evening routine. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just ask, “What energy do I need to focus on today?”

Reflect on the card’s meaning and how it applies to your life.

If tarot feels too structured, try oracle decks for a gentler, more intuitive approach.

🕯️ Cleanse Your Space

Use sage, palo santo (ethically sourced, please!), incense, or even sound like a bell or singing bowl.

Walk through your space with intention, clearing out old energy and inviting in peace, creativity, and joy.

Bonus: Add fresh flowers, crystals, or seasonal decor to make your space feel sacred and cozy.

🖤 Journaling Magic

Dedicate a journal to your witchy thoughts. Write down your dreams, gratitude lists, affirmations, or spells.

Not sure what to write? Start with a simple prompt like, “What do I want to manifest this week?”

Journaling is a powerful way to reflect and connect with your inner magic.

🌟 Witchy Glamour

Incorporate magic into your daily beauty routine. Enchant your perfume with intention, or bless your lipstick for confidence.

Create a quick self-love spell while getting ready: “With each stroke of this mascara, I see myself clearer and brighter.”

Witchcraft isn’t all candles and cauldrons—your personal style can be just as magical.

💖 Connect with Your Tools

Spend time bonding with your crystals, tarot deck, or altar. Cleanse them, arrange them, or simply hold them and tune into their energy.

If you have a grimoire, update it with new spells, correspondences, or reflections on your practice.

🕊️ Be Gentle with Yourself

Some days you’ll feel like a goddess ready to manifest the world; other days, you’ll want to curl up and rest. Honor both.

Self-care isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up for yourself in whatever way you can.

✨ You are your greatest magical tool. Keep your energy radiant, your spirit aligned, and your vibes immaculate. Blessed be, beautiful souls! 🌙

My life as a Carat...(an analysis)

2022: This was when I first became a Carat through FTS and HOT. Seventeen was like destiny to me. Their music was perfect for me and the members fit into my life like they were always meant to be there. And when Dino became my bias, it was like I finally discovered what true love was. Seventeen came into my life when I didn't have anything to look forward to. When I was just existing instead of living with no color to my life whatsoever. They came into my life and gave me so much to wake up for, everyday. They painted my black-and-white life in rose quartz and serenity colors.

2023: Loving Seventeen came naturally to me, now. I could talk about them to anyone for hours but I also wanted to keep them close to my heart because no one would understand just how much these boys mean to me. Seventeen helped me through a time in my life where I had no one. Where I changed a lot and left a lot behind. But Seventeen stayed with me, even through that. They showed me that even though I've changed, deep down I'm still me. They showed me that even though I've given up on most of my relationships with other people, the relationship I have with them is something that can't be broken. They became the only constant I have in my life.

2024: Now, Seventeen has become something I can't even separate from who I am. If you wanna take Seventeen away from me, you will inevitably take away a part of me as well. Each day feels like another reason to be grateful to these boys for how much happiness they give me. Their tiniest wins feel like wins for me. Hell, I want to make them win in whatever way possible. I want to see them smile more because their happiness is inevitably my happiness as well. And I know for sure that whatever happens, in 2 years or 20 years, Seventeen is something that will never go away from my life. They are me and I am them.

I can't even put into words how much Seventeen has changed my life for the better. They give me things to look forward to every single day. They make me excited about life in a way I have never felt before. They stay with me through my darkest times when even I don't know myself. They make me feel emotions I have never felt before, for anyone. They teach me what love, friendship, and family mean. They inspire me to be a better version of myself. They show me that in the end, everything will work out exactly like I want. They show me that I will get to where I want to go one day, no matter the difficulties. They believe in me more than I believe in myself sometimes. They show me what true happiness looks like. They've shown me that destiny really exists. I was destined to meet Seventeen in this lifetime, and I was destined to never leave them again, no matter what. And one day, when I become the person I've always wanted to be, I know I would feel grateful to not only myself but to them. My first, last, and only loves, my Seventeen 🩷🩵.

PROPAGANDA

Rose Quartz

It’s all “more morally grey women in media!” but when the mom from the space rocks singing and crying show turns out to not be the saint she was made out to be in the early seasons, suddenly she’s The Real Villain Of the Show and a Bitch and all the good she did in liberating the gems and saving the earth is completely erased. Yes! She was a diamond! She did some evil shit without understanding the consequences! She was once entitled and bratty and unempathetic. She got a lot of people hurt! But she also gave all our gems their freedom! She gave up her status and family and slowly tried to fix all the damage the diamonds had caused. She didn’t have Steven as a means to escape her past, she had Steven because she saw in humans everything she always wanted to be- something free and forever changing. You are allowed to not forgive her but claiming her to be inherently evil even after all she went through is flat out wrong. Imo you all just cant handle a bbw.

So many people absolutely DESPISE Rose Quartz. The show showed her character arc in reverse order, and when the show started, she was seen as this perfect being who was wise and kind and a rebel hero and utterly flawless. But then we find out that she wasn't perfect, and she was one of the tyrannical Diamonds the show has as the main antagonists. She used to be a spoiled brat who threw tantrums, hurt one of her servants, and left her friend/plaything Spinel to stand in a garden for thousands of years. She discovered the beauty of earth and rebelled to save it from being destroyed, even faking the death of her Pink Diamond identity so the rebellion could win. She works her entire life to change and become a better person from who she was. Ultimately she gives up her gem and life so Steven could live before the show begins, and the show has Steven gradually learning about her. She is often hated and seen as a villain and worse than the other Diamonds, who are genocidal tyrants until the very end of the show.

Steven Universe shows Pink Diamond’s arc in reverse. At the beginning of the show, all the characters see Rose as this great hero, this perfect unimpeachable goddess, and over the course of the show we learn that this is a lie — Rose was just as flawed as anyone else, in many was immature, lied to all of her closest friends, was at times very cruel to her loved ones, and spent most of her life unlearning the privilege and entitlement and cruelty which her youth taught her. The last things we learn about Pink Diamond (her abandonment of spinel, her treatment of volleyball) are perhaps the worst things she ever does. But these are also some of the *earliest* things she ever does — this is where she STARTS, and we see in the show that Pink spends a lot of time trying not to be the person who did those things, even if she never undoes them, so that by the end of her life she’s far from perfect but is also in many many important ways not that person. Her decision to become Rose Quartz is in part an attempt to remake herself, to *not be* the childish, callously cruel pink diamond she is meant to be. And rose quartz *is* kind, and works to be good, but she cannot truly stop being that person. In the end, I think we are meant to understand that Rose Quartz decided to become Steven because she wanted to grow and improve in a way she felt that she couldn’t — she KNOWS that she isn’t a good person and can never truly be a good person, so she destroys herself so that Steven can be the good person she can’t be. And her decision to bring steven into the world caused a lot of pain, and maybe it was selfish, but it’s also a fascinating expression of Rose’s self-awareness about her own flaws!!!! I love Rose/Pink for how flawed she is and how much she tries not to be flawed. Anyway a large portion of the SU fandom thinks Pink Diamond is an irredeemable monster. So that’s cool.

Chara Dreemur

There's a lot of bias against Chara for appearing at the end of the Genocide Route, but there's so much more to them than "I want to murder everyone". They're a kid!! They made mistakes and they felt bad for them, and now they're stuck following the player and watching their every move... The fandom misrepresents them very badly imo

Somehow people forgive Asriel for everything he's done as a soulless being after his death, but when it comes to Chara, it's like they're the devil incarnate.

Chara is a character commonly seen as guilty for the genocide run or harmless disregarding them only appearing at the end and posioning Asgore

Poor kid called themselves a demon ONE TIME and then got misrepresented so badly as immoral killer with no sympathy

People constantly blame them for the worst ending of the game, even though the entire point of the game is that the player has a the opportunity to choose senseless violence and that it is the player's fault for killing the characters. They are a troubled child, and while they do some bad things, like taking the player's violent example at the end, most of what the fandom pins on them is in the hands of the player.

[maneaterwithtail]

> en existing as is was honestly one of the most fucked up things I've ever seen, exactly as you described it. The diamonds absolutely deserved punishment for that, I was REALLY surprised that after everything....they all just....got off Scott free.

Uhm When Rose did *frivolous things out of line* they slapped her in solitary confinement and she had barely any institutional authority outside her court which was the nicest to be in (millenia later even her worst victims MISS her she was that pleasant and caring to them)

Here is the thing the legend of Rose Quartz, born out of the ground morally perfect pure and unguilty of any sin, was always bullshit

Pink Diamond is the sad reality to any revolution or reform. As much dilettantes or the ambitious or the "just always going to be dissatisfied" are the members motivated as much by selfishness as to filthy virtue performing strategic nasty compromises for a victory that is NEVER perfect, whole, and cannot end with all your enemies forever vanquished with no negative side-effect or compromise.

They DID the Breaking Point strategy, even MORE perfect than Bismuth could hope to pull off. It resulted in mass corruption or shattering!

Rose's intention was first just to "inhibit the colonization" THAT WAS IT. THEN she ran into goal creep. And it was clear the Diamonds weren't going to let her fail and she did NOT want to go back

Again throwing a party with too many organics got **her** visible likable princess of the Authority solitary confinement, psychic torment by Blue, and mixed with what White did to her first pearl.

Like holy shit!

What would happen if they found out she'd publicly left an independent colony OR rebel planet complete with gem tech and heretical thinkers free to act

and when, not IF White and the gang found out she STARTED the thing performing sabotage to their own colony efforts? YIKES!!!

White was willing to bleach Yellow and Blue for just demanding to talk to them and reconsider their way of life. These were the competent ESSENTIAL true believers! Pink was traumatized and terrified and SICKENED at the idea of going back.

She wasn't a mastermind! She's what Ainz Gooal PRETENDS to be! Someone with some genius and skill caught up with no clue what she's actually supposed to do or what the right thing is off the bat (not bad for spoiled nazi princess literally defying her people to even take up arms out of sheer empathy. That's more than I done for Uyghur in China or any Ukrainian)

who doesn't want to kill her family and just wants some room to fucking breath. She renounced name, title, most of her god damn wealth to live below third world poverty swamp life. So selfish

That she had access to a spaceship and never willingly left earth staying to fix her mess and shepherd humanity to the late 20th century while carrying a heaping load of suicidal tendencies and issues and self loathing? Speaks to greater character than most of her critics.

The Gem Empire consists of as many potential crystal gems and even the Diamonds who CAN be turned around. And that was Essential to put an end to the war.

THE CRYSTAL GEMS CANNOT WIN. Loaded with all the cheats for the most minimal of goals possible, write off a lost unproductive resource extraction territory they no real plans to settle, with a bunch of deviants who don't want to do their jobs anyway, they lost at the first FAKE assassination of a high level gem!

A few hundred assassinations, IF POSSIBLE, wasn't going to change that if two lapis lazuli who wanted to kick ass dropped on Earth in retaliation let alone three goddamn diamonds.

Make no mistake Rose is a disappointment compared to her legend. But that doesn't make her a bad person.

Or well unforgivable

So are most heroes

Man oh man I know I’m like a decade late and almost 30 but I’ve been binging Steven Universe for the last week and it’s Wrecking me haha.

First off, the eps are the perfect length for hyper-fixation. I keep being like “well just One More 11 minute episode that’s not that big a deal it’s JUST eleven minutes” and then a day passes.

Also. No one told me it was this sad??? Like this is so fucked????? It’s so unexpectedly deep???? I knew it would be and I’m STILL blown away. I thought it’d be more….. like metaphorically sad. But the adults give the other adults theses Looks™️ over Stevens head all the time and it’s something that little kids watching the show also wouldn’t pick up on always. And that’s??? So unexpectedly poignant?

Like they’re all just there to give him a good life and happiness. Working together for Steven to be safe and to be able to grow up. And THAT in and of itself is so fucking sad.

Just a bit ago I finished the episode where Greg wins the lotto and they go to the city and I did NOT expect it to be the episode that breaks me.

Pearl singing on the balcony… I mean. Holy damn. Pearl is easily one of the most interesting characters on the show. Her life is Fascinating and so fucking sad. She remakes herself for this woman she loves. She gives everything always all the time. 110% always. For rose. For rose for rose. And now she’s alone and has to get along with the dude who is the reason she’s alone and has to Raise Their Kid??!!!????? Like that’s so fucked up???? Imagine being in a 5000 year long unrequited relationship where the other person low key takes advantage of your love, but never fully returned it the way you kinda wanted…. Just for them to leave you for someone else and then die and then leave you with their kid. I’m just speechless.

And she loves Steven so much. And that makes it even more painful. She has every right to not want to be around him. She has every right to resent him. And she chooses to love him and nurture him and look out for him.

Anyways I think talking about SU on tumblr is contentious these days haha. Whoops my b. Idk how to tag this but I’ve used names and the show name in the post so I guess it doesn’t matter. Can’t wait to finish the show no spoilers pls. (I know rose isn’t a quartz and is a much Harder Gem winkwink but idk much else).

[uncertainseaside]

rose quartz quotes work so well with his character im losing it

"i love humans, you're all so funny!"

"i'm not a real person."

"if we lose, we'll be killed, and if we win, we can never go home."

"i want to live here with human beings! i wanna live here with you! we'll both finally be free!"

oh my god oh my god

pink diamond and lucifer morningstar are liyerally the same person im losing my fucking marbles

[teawiththegods]

hi jess :") hope summer is treating you well so far. i hope you don't mind me ranting here but i feel so detached from well a lot. i want to reach out to old deities, such as hermes but i feel so disappointed for kinda ghosting them when i received a health diagnosis. i know they understand but at the same time, i feel like a blockage for me is wondering whether i'm ready or worthy. i feel almost miniscule when thinking of working with immortals who experience time differently. (1/2)

2/2) not too sure if i'm making sense. maybe this is me having an existential crisis about mortality, but yeah it's hard for me to see how they find meaning in us considering we're like small stars in their eyes LMAO sorry if this is out of the blue,, i didn't know who to talk to and your space is quite the safe and cozy place for me

Hello, love!

Firstly, you don’t ever have to apologize for sharing your thoughts here! Stuff like this is why my blog exists so we can talk about about these things because I think it’s super important we do discuss this stuff! And also I’m glad you find this space safe and cozy! That means so much to me!

What you’re hitting at here is very valid and I know many worshipers will absolutely relate! It is a difficult concept to embrace I think. And it’s honestly something we as a species have been wrestling with for basically forever. Why would these immortal powerful divine beings take any interest in us?

One of the ways I like to explain my personal thoughts on the matter is by using Steven Universe. It’s a lot to fully explain if you’ve never seen the show but if you have, the way Rose Quartz views humans is kind of how I think the gods see us. Here’s a scene from the show that I think helps sum this idea up

Basically, I personally believe our mortality and our limitations are what the gods find so fascinating about us. The fact that our time is so limited and we ourselves are limited (esp in comparison to them) yet we still manage to thrive in many ways. We innovate. We create. We grow. We evolve. We fight. We discover. We love. We cry. We win. We lose. We break. We heal. We grieve. We fall. We get back up. We live. We die. And I think the gods are mesmerized by what we accomplish in such short periods of time. I think they also admire us for our ability to continue even when it feels impossible.

That’s also why they help us so much! They see us fighting so hard. So determined to make it through and I believe they want to honor that strength by sprinkling in some of their own divine power to help us succeed.

Also considering how inherently human pretty much all their realms are, it would be kind of strange for them not to care about us you know? It’s kind of like being the President of the Bug Club but you actually don’t like bugs. Why are you President then?!? What are you doing?!? There are other clubs you know!? And how did you even become President? Was there a vote? I have a lot of questions! 🤣

You can look at their realms as their passions and the influences they want to have in the world. In order to influence the world they need us to spread whatever influence that is and also because it’s a passion they enjoy seeing us engage and succeed within their realms. When you’re an artist you enjoy engaging in other artists’ work. It’s the same concept. Hephaestus is so passionate about creativity that it makes his big heart sing whenever his little babies (us, we are his babies) find joy in their creativity.

I feel like I did a lot of rambling but I hope enough of it made sense!

...

TIGERS EYE.

There is a strong masculine energy here- we have three Kings. This is someone you love or did in the past, this is someone you find attractive, you felt very connected to. I feel they are a strong water or air sign. This person feels stubborn, I am not a huge fan of their energy. They have a lot of baggage and are projecting their own shadow work without realising it. They are quite self absorbed or have some similar traits/tendencies of a narcissist. Big ego.

This person or situation didn't turn out like you had hoped and it still plays in your mind. You could be up late some nights thinking about your past with this person which may leave you feeling restless. There may be words that had been exchanged that weren't the nicest- I feel this is more from the masculine. There are some words or memories of conversations you two have had that still play on your mind. He may have distanced himself from you or found trouble committing to you completely. He may have also had a wandering eye.. This is because of the baggage he carries from the past. This could even perhaps stem from childhood. He couldnt give you what you wanted. He may have left you out in the cold. There is a level of resentment here. For some this is subconsciously.

I feel that you aren't as broken up over this anymore, if not now then soon. You're not as emotionally invested as you once were in the past but you still cling to old memories or old perspectives over this situation. Its time to snap back into reality. You have quickly realised that you are worth much more. The Tigers Eye represents everything that you are.

Distract yourself, try something new, meet new people, make new friends. Time will heal all wounds. I am hearing the tables have turned. If this person has wronged you, karma will be served in due time. Give yourself closure.

18: Encouragment and Support

Moonology:

...

ROSE QUARTZ.

In the past you have felt alone or let down by people who are meant to be there for you. You lost your sense of security, stability and may have even felt unsafe. You have had to walk a path of loneliness and abandonment to find your light again.

You may have/had abandonment issues, feelings of unworthiness. On some level you just wanted to feel accepted and loved by someone. (Don't we all I guess..) You are a giving soul which may have led to some codependency issues also. Setting boundaries may have been difficult- I don't think you even knew what your boundaries were for some. You had your self esteem and self empowerment stripped from you, you had to build yourself back up from scratch, alone. Your lack of self confidence in the past made you not trust your own judgements, your thoughts were heavy and messy. You struggled to understand what you were deserving of, how people should be treating you. You deserve the world and more.

People who you gave to did not give to you the same. (Fake love - Drake) Let go of expecting others to give to you the way you did them, nobody owes you anything. You have to protect what you have and not give it away to anyone. There are two types of people in this world, givers and takers. Unfortunately that does not bode well for our givers, I have too learn't this the hard way.

I am writing in past tense because I feel you are not currently dealing with this, you have already gone through the thick of it and you have now come out the other end or you are definitely on your way there. Your energy now feels stronger. You have become self reliant. You have stopped looking for fulfilment outside of yourself and have realised all you ever need is you. (Because people aint shit.. lol)

You're in a place of emotional balance. What you thought you wanted from other people you gave to yourself and received way better than what anyone else could have ever given you.

However you may still (perhaps unknowingly) have tendencies to think negatively or be pessimistic at times, there is an opportunity here that you may be scared to take or feel you wont be able to do, take it. Meeting new people will be good for you. You are moving on to bigger and better things. Once you close this cycle there is love coming in for you. 555.

There is a huge wish fulfilment being manifested for you. This is powerful energy. I didn't want to clarify it because it could be something very specific to you personally, however this is someone (I actually meant to write something.. but I feel like for some it could be someone) you have consciously wished for for a long time.

Numerology:

3: Be creative and optimistic

(The number 3 is very significant here - we have the numerology card 3, 3 of cups and 3 of wands. There also are three threes)

Moonology:

Its time to release negativity

A new romantic cycle begins

...

CLEAR QUARTZ.

This was a very specific message, it may not resonate for all, but let me explain..

I feel there is an energy of guilt or even regret because of a choice you made. This choice feels rash and impulsive, I'm hearing the phrase ignorance is bliss. It seems you were looking at this choice with rose tinted glasses and didn't fully grasp the consequences (or you avoided looking at them.) You may have convinced yourself you were making the right choice but this had hugely backfired. This feels like a messy situation that you are now having to clean up. This choice you made I feel was not in your best interest and on some level you knew that. You went through with it anyway and it ended up being quite damaging for everyone involved. This feels like a lose - lose situation.

You may have been perceived as deceptive for a little while and hid how you really felt, (I also saw a crow land on my windowsill whilst I was shuffling your cards which felt significant- have a look into what that may mean) You might have had a hard time saying what you really mean in this situation or being truthful about this decision, this could be because you were afraid of what could happen and had expected the worst so you acted on instinct and impulse instead of thinking logically and pragmatically from a balanced viewpoint.

This has been burdening you and you find it hard to let go and move on but you are working through this. Try not to beat yourself up over this, things happen.. This was meant to teach you something about yourself so you can grow and end this cycle. The number 10 is significant. Do not retreat back to the past or people from the past, its time to let things go, if some of you are contacting someone that has been hurt through this situation its time to stop and let them heal. You need to heal.

Give some time to yourself, feel your emotions and work through them. Give yourself a break take a time out and be alone. This sounds daunting but its what you need, some space to collect your thoughts so you can rebuild yourself instead of tearing yourself down. If you try and get involved with someone or someone from the past you will only be projecting your shadow side onto them (without meaning to- this is out of your control) and this again is just going to be causing more unhappiness, more pain. Focus on being happy single and independent, this will benefit you the most.

This situation may cause you to have a hard time accepting love in the future if you dont close this cycle and forgive yourself. Dont try to resurrect things, its time for a fresh start.

Numerology:

37: Independence and capability

Meditate and contemplate

Take time to breathe out

PART 1 of 6 of the Owl Deity Hooty Theory

[NEXT PART]

[OWL DEITY HOOTY THEORY MASTERPOST] (in development)

(TLDR at bottom of post)

Over several long months of research and analysis since March of 2020, I have been following an utterly fascinating thread of potential misdirection and subtle details throughout The Owl House, and today, I would like to start weaving together of what I believe could become one of the biggest and most cleverly disguised twists in the entire show.

To begin, let’s take a look at the B plot of Understanding Willow:

On first glance, it’s an ultimately inconsequential sidestory with the sole purpose of justifying an excuse to keep Luz and Amity in Willow’s mind, as well as providing some well-needed room to breathe and release tension after the veryemotionally charged confrontation with Inner Willow. After half an episode of Eda and King outdoing the other in ridiculous ways to win Gus’ vote and Gus running off in frustration at the end of the episode from Hooty’s inane rambling, it’s easy to laugh off Gus’ pick and assume that nothing/of value was said when he closed the door for the interview.

However, if one pays close attention to that very scene, Hooty actually canstill be heard (if faintly) underneath Eda and King’s grumbling, interestingly talking about how “It all started with a hunt. Blood red skies. That’s right, I was created-.”

Now, while it may seem silly to focus on dialogue from Hooty of all characters, this A) tells us that there was an event in the past involving blood red skies and a hunt of some kind, B) that Hooty had been created close to said event, and C) implies that what he knows but can’t tell as a story worth a damn is EXTREMELY important to be included and be hidden in such a manner.

For comparison, the only other instance of dialogue being tucked away in the background in the entire show is in Wing It Like Witches:

During the lecture at the beginning of the episode, the history teacher openswith lore on Belos appointing a head witch to each coven over 50 years ago, immediately cluing in the audience to try and decipher the rest of the lecture as it moves to the background. Adding to this is how the musical sting when Luz shows off her movie obscures what he says even further, making it even more of a intriguing puzzle that the creators clearly intended for viewers to pick up on and attempt to solve.

In contrast, the hidden dialogue of Hooty’s interview is much shorter and not as hard to decipher as the teacher’s history lesson, but at the same time, there are few to no indicators whatsoever in that scene to clue in the audience to even check for something like that. It comes at the end of an episode where most viewers would have been paradoxically tired out and driven abuzz by the revelations of Amity and Willow’s relationship, doesn’t attempt to draw much attention to itself, and frames itself as a comedic subversion of audience expectations with neither the “greatest witch who ever lived” or the self-proclaimed king of demons being picked by Gus.

Instead, he picks someone that the show portrays constantly as an oblivious and gullible idiot after being described as a “state of the art defense system” at the very beginning of the series. Someone who, despite it being played for laughs, is scarily capable of casually subduing Lilith offscreen one episode and then beating her and an entire squad of Emperor’s Coven members without even the slightest change in personality or temperament.

Someone who, due to being the Owl House itself, could be considered the titular character of the entire show, yet is taken for granted by those who inhabit him and barely gets any respect from even the cutely patronized King - including when Hooty could be interpreted as having potentially been full on DEAD for a time given the use of extremely cartoony X eyes and a lack of vital signs in The Intruder.

And someone who Eda at best tolerates and at worst abandons in personal interactions and only occasionally acknowledges him when he’s actually doing his job. Yet at the same time is so implicitly trusted beyondprotecting her home to the point where - when up against the closest person Eda has to an equal outside of likely Belos - the only actually recognizable spells Eda used in combat were 1) stereotypical energy blasts, 2) a single shield spell in Covention, and 3) a noticeably large reliance on imitations of Hooty above any other spells she could have decided to use instead.

In short, the show repeatedly tells us he is just an idiotic gag character through and through, but at the same time demonstrates he has immense power through both onscreen and offscreen demonstrations, implicitly tells us his importance ahead of time through Eda’s imitations in actually serious situations, and treats his interview and origin story as - if not even more- important to keep secret than a long lore dump about how Belos’ reign works.

After all, there being only two instances of hidden background dialogue in the entire season is already intriguing on its own, but for one to get plenty of clues to draw in people’s attention and for the other to be treated as just another gag about a “mere comic relief character” - aka a good way to draw away attention and lower one’s guard - heavily suggests a far deeper significance buried under layers of misdirection, comedy, and conditioned audience expectations.

I mean, when Eda bragged about being “a bad girl living in a secret fortress,” Hooty followed with a remark about how “I’m the secret.” While that line may sound like Hooty simply being confused as part of a one-off on the surface, it’s an odd dialogue choice for the writers to pick when you think about all the other reminders of his nature as the house itself throughout the season. With the precedent these moments set, it would have been much more appropriate for him to latch onto the “fortress” side of “secret fortress” AND it would have been just as equally funny of a joke about his awareness skills, but instead, Hooty broke away from the established trend to say something that would make people suspicious were it to come from anyone else.

In a way, this reminds me much of the many subtle bits of foreshadowing strewn across the show, like Luz unknowingly describing Amity in Witches Before Wizards and Eda burning a hole through Luz’s coven type quiz that coincidentally selected the same track she had taken at Hexside as “a punky potionist.” At the time of airing, these initially seemed like one-off jokes, but eventually came back in full force several episodes later with Amity’s hidden sensitive feelings and love for the Azura books becoming clear in Lost in Language, and the reveal of Eda’s school track in Something Ventured, Someone Framed with her school misdemeanor pictures.

That said, compared to these individual bits of minor foreshadowing, the jokes about Hooty in Understanding Willow appear to simply be the most obvious pieces in a giant puzzle, implicitly and outright telling attentive viewers that there’s a major mystery to be uncovered here.

In fact, I feel bold enough to say that we could be looking at a twist on a similar scale to that of the Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz and Stanford Pines twists in Steven Universe and Gravity Falls respectively, what with this particular puzzle piece coming from how Gus wanted to make THE greatest interview of all time, and how he was looking for someone who was “interesting, accomplished, AND noteworthy:”

Note the emphasis on the ‘and’ here, as Gus had made a big deal that “people aren’t meantto be all those things” at the beginning of the episode, so as a result, stripping away all the comedic framing of his subplot leaves the intriguing implication that whoever - and, perhaps, what- Hooty is, they really are the most interesting, accomplished, AND noteworthy person out of everyone.

I could go further and talk about why I suspect the mystery surrounding King’s origins, whether true or not, is partially meant to misdirect us from paying attention to Hooty, or how the TOH crew’s could be disguising legitimate clues to his nature among made up and highly meme-able joke answers in order to proliferate said concepts throughout the fandom - thus letting us do all the dirty work of getting ourselves used to the ideas and used to dismissing them at the same time - but to bring things to a close for now, I’d like to leave you all with a question that I’ll start answering next time:

What does it mean when both the most powerful and notorious witch on the Boiling Isles and the possible actual king of demons/the Titan itself/something don’t match up to a house? And what do you think it is that makes him so special to warrant such misdirection?

TLDR: Between Eda’s golem spells, the show stressing his nature as the titular house, his implicit strength, and the odd dialogue and structure of Understanding Willow‘s subplot in relation to him, I believe I have good reason to suspect the show has been giving us many hints towards Hooty being much, much more important than it would like us to currently believe or even joke about. Particularly, through clever uses of comedy to establish and enforce a strong audience bias against looking closely at him or unironically taking him seriously, and to potentially plant the seeds for something I will start exploring in Part 2.

Steven Universe theory:

This screenshot was taken from A Single Pale Rose. Notice anything peculiar about it?

The gem is rotated upside-down.

Now, I’m the person who went off on a huge tangent about this EXACT THING with @spudinacup’s Gone Wrong AU (you can read their comic here, or you can read my meta post here), so my theorist brain went off IMMEDIATELY.

I need to keep using the Gone Wrong AU as an example, so if you haven’t read it, I apologize. I’ll try my best to make sure we’re all on the same page.

Medium-long post under the cut!

Basically, Gem Steven’s here because his human half Did the Die (hence “Gone Wrong”), and when he appears, it’s normal. But, after spending some time along in the bathroom, it rotates so that the pentagon is facing downwards. In my theory, I speculated that this meant that he felt that he wasn’t Steven anymore, and is now trying to figure out who he is aside from him. He and his human half together = Steven, but who is he without the other half? That’s the main question for him in the AU at the moment.

Keep that in mind.

With Rose, she is about to make the biggest decision of her life. By deciding to become Rose forever, she’s killing her old self (honestly quite literally) and moving on. So it makes sense for her gem to rotate.

But, here’s the thing; it was already upside-down as she chose this, meaning that she herself must have been having some kind of crisis beforehand to make it upside-down in the first place.

This means that she’s been thinking about herself as Pink Diamond and herself as Rose Quartz for a long time.

Blue telling her that”as long as you are there to rule, this colony would be completed” was the final thing to get her to decide once and for all that this is something she wants to do.

When she reforms again, permanently as Rose, the pentagon is upside-right.

Because she’s found her identity.

Spud, if you knew all of this, I APPLAUDE YOU.

She is more comfortable as Rose Quartz. Pink Diamond was a b*tch she wanted to leave in the past. She says it herself. “If this is really my world, then I want to give it to the Crystal Gems. I want to live here with human beings. I want to live here with you [Pearl]!” By assuming Rose Quartz, she is leaving Pink behind forever.

That’s not an easy decision to make. She must have been thinking about it for a while. After all, what happens when the Crystal Gems win or lose, and Homeworld leaves? Does Rose reveal her identity and go home? Or does she stay on Earth? How would she stay on Earth? So, becoming Rose Quartz must have become a stressor regarding her persona’s future, the persona she loves being.

Hence, the gem is flipped.

But once she decides to fake her shattering, it becomes normal again, facets flipped, the pentagon pointing up.

We know this is a recent development because in The Answer, Rose’s gem looks like this:

And in Rose’s Scabbard, it looks like this (though this is also a memory, so maybe Pearl never noticed!):

Rose Quartz knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay Rose after the war was over (and this scene in Rose’s Scabbard might have been the beginning of that realization). So, once she realized that faking her death would allow her to continue to exist as she wanted, of course she leaped at the chance. She was so excited in A Single Pale Rose.

Wouldn’t you be, too, if you realized you knew a way to live how you wanted instead of a life you were forced into?

Food for thought.
