Is It Ok If I Swear?

I had to make a highlight reel of Pearl in A Very Special Episode. there was never any other option

Repo! The Genetic Opera is a campy cyberpunk gorefest that says "in capitalism your body is a commodity and corporations are offering half assed solutions for problems they caused in the first place and this is directly the fault of the 1%" with its WHOLE chest and I love that for it

Ryan Ross, you hold my heart

if you're hating on Steven for being "cynical" or overly annoyed or having an attitude or getting more angry, you don't have rights

have you SEEN how much that boy has had to deal with?? the depression and ptsd and trauma that comes with all that??

are you really surprised how different he is? are you really surprised he's overworking himself and shutting himself off from the gems? who, by the way are still treating him like a child? he spent years trying to make them happy, hoping for their attention, and they were often too busy for him. now they're trying to lavish that on him but it's too late.

this is all building up. the point is Steven has never focused on his own problems bc he was always trying to solve other people's issues.. now he's running out of problems so he has to face his own, except he's trying to avoid that like the plague, he's overworking himself, and he's stressing himself out and I DONT BLAME HIM.

there's a reason he's changed. he can't be uwu sunshine boy completely after all he's been through. don't expect it.

hey j asoon….get fucced

RE-ANIMATOR (1985) dir. Stuart Gordon

Oh my god, the new SU Future episodes have put so much in context for me about Pink and her fear of confrontation. Why she lied to the Crystal Gems, hiding from her past, running away and abandoning Spinel… she wasn’t only afraid of being hurt herself, she was also afraid she would hurt them.

Pink had powerful destructive abilities that were activated by negative emotions and emotional confrontation, and had badly hurt someone she loved in the past. (Likely without ever meaning to, if Steven was any indication - the power activated simply because he was angry and hurting, not because he made any moves to harm anyone.) Pink was terrified that if she got into an emotionally heated argument that she might do it again, terrified that if she ever lost her temper, if she ever so much as raised her voice in a moment of anger or pain she could literally scar someone for life. She was so afraid that she bottled up and suppressed those feelings, and avoided any situation that might lead to her exploding at people she cared about, even if it meant lying, manipulating, or leaving them rather than risk ever doing something like that again.
