#new crystal gems

[amnhnyc]

🔮 There are good things to come in the New Year. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2025! The Museum will be open on New Year’s Day.

💎 Rock crystal has drawn the admiration of people around the world as an enticing medium for carving and was used for jewelry as early as 4,000 years ago—and was sometimes considered to have supernatural properties.

the woke mob (my friends) are making me rewatch Shawn Galaxy. here’s my almost redesigned rock moms.

- garnet looks like a superhero cause she is one, also more “spiritual” gauntlets for her

- amethyst is barely changed because she is perfect. other than that she has snakebites and an eyebrow piercing somehow, as a projection of light. she’s also wearing orisises

- pearl gets a more dramatic poet look cause she is one.

none of their chosen aesthetics match at all cause in my head i exaggerate how unfamiliar they are with normal human culture. they think they’re super on trend

Your description of yourself is the guy with Opinions on Steven Universe so say what you think of Peridot

Fond of her. I don't think I've got much to say about her that the more singularly fixated SU analysts haven't gotten to. I will say that she's a pretty salient example of a quote-unquote "redemption arc" that's facilitated in large part by the villain being "redeemed" never having actually caused serious, lasting, unfixable harm before switching sides, such that the story being told in practice is the story of an interpersonally unpleasant person working on themselves and learning to be less of a tar pit- jazzed up with ray guns and cartoonish doomsday devices. This is interesting taken on its own terms, but not necessarily morally interesting in the way the phrase "redemption arc" would ideally imply.

Contrast (unfavorably) with Entrapta in She-Ra, where they're clearly chasing a Peridot-adjacent energy, but the narrative treats the conflict between her and the protagonists as a similar kind of souped-up interpersonal miscommunication when no, she's in fact on the hook for very literal war crimes in a way the narrative was never really prepared to weigh seriously due to the use of a handful of Princesses as a metonym for everything meaningful SPOP is interested in trying to say, to the exclusion of more literal, non-metaphorical worldbuilding. Zuko, meanwhile, sits in a happy middle ground where he genuinely is attached to some morally heinous shit that the show is interested in weighing and unpacking, but not so deeply attached as to become synonymous with it in a way that would make his redemption come across as apologetics. (I sort of use these three as reference points when calculating how annoyed to get at the writing decisions of whatever children's cartoon I'm currently watching- this does not translate very well outside of that space methinks)

Enormous amounts of gold lie buried beneath the rubble of New Zealand’s mountains, and scientists are using freshwater fish genetics to find it.

Moonstone, my Steven Universe oc / gemsona!! :D

She's deemed defective since her gem's placement makes her mute n kinda blind.

Her second eye is in her axe, so she's gotta coordinate her attacks to not get dizzy because of it

Even though she isn't in the best situation, she's always up to joke around :D

Her glove has a light-up tablet she writes on to communicate and ofc she doodles on it too!
