I loved this era of Steven universe discourse

Reblogging again with tags a follower added because they are correct. No you are not insane for reading that deeply into the overall reaction to SU and im glad you said it.

This sort of problem runs deep and i see it fucking everywhere.

everyone did this with avatar aang the same day that finale came out. old heads remember

#THIS DRIVES ME INSANE the diamonds weren't even redeemed steven still resented them#the diamonds are USEFUL when their powers work in reverse#especially yellow diamond. white and blue are kinda mid#killing them would be shooting urself in the foot

Sometimes I still see people being like "Steven shouldn't have forgiven the diamonds" and I'm like did we watch the same show?? He didn't forgive them???

There was a whole thing in the Steven Univers: Future season where he possessed White and impulsively tried to kill her????? Because he hates what she did and he was under extreme stress?????? Who's saying he forgives them? He doesn't even all the way forgive his mom!

Exactly! The major theme of the series is "sometimes things are broken, sometimes you can't heal everything, and that's okay; we continue regardless." They light on this again and again. Sometimes the physical and the emotional damage in SU can be fixed, often it can't, and people have to figure out a way to move on regardless. It happens again and again, it' like, the main point. The fact that the diamonds don't get redeemed or cleansed via punishment or death and simply have to do the work of undoing as much of their damage as they can is a major point. The fact that Steven has to be civil to these people who hurt so many, has to learn to work with them without the catharsis of vengeance or seeing them stripped of their power or anything because a) he's not strong enough to do that and b) it would solve nothing, what matters now is healing as much damage as possible and the diamonds can better help with that where they are, is the point. The fact that Steven's wounds are raw and his resentment is completely justified and unable to be satisfied,and his impulsive high-stress momentary lapse into seeking revenge was a bad thing and a flaw on his part and he knows and recognises this immediately is the point.

Sometimes the part of the earth used to birth alien soldiers will never ever recover, and we push on. Sometimes your mother who committed suicide isn't coming back and you'll never get to know her, and we push on. sometimes your friend who works at the chip shop is always going to be the most annoying guy on the planet, sometimes your other firend who suffered abuse and torture and long-term imprisonment at the hands of your other friends is always going to be traumatised and have depression, sometimes you'll never forgive your father for the shitty way you were raised and your bones will forever bear the scars of their hundreds of breaks and your mind will bear the selfsame scars from having to be the pillar of your family and bear the responsibility of everyone's happiness from young childhood. Sometimes the genocidal warmongers who you faced down in order to save the universe from their rampage will still be happy and comfortable and in charge of the empire once the mission has changed to repairing the damage, and you have to keep on working with them and be a civil as you can, for the benefit of your planet and the universe. Sometimes things are broken and they won't heal, and you've just got to push on.

I'm sorry WHAT

'lazy people don't feel guilty about not doing anything' is insane to me and I have been trying to make my brain believe it for a long time, it shocked me to my core when I first heard it

guys….,, being friends, like actual friends, with people you have systemic privilege over is going to involve some good-natured ribbing. it’s going to involve them complaining about [insert privileged group you belong to] in front of you or even to you. that’s not a personal attack, it’s because they think you’re cool enough to hang. it’s because they think they can express their frustration to you without you attacking them. you really want to prove them wrong?

mold pisses me off so much

oh you have to eat your produce the moment it leaves the store or the fuckin Hungering Dust will get it. and. poison your food

I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.

Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.

But now I’m just like.

Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.

Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?

Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.

That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.

Life-changing.

you bottle Miette??

You crush Miette like the grape?

I had a dream that the alt-right manosphere people stopped liking Andrew Tate, but the guy they replaced him with was Mr. Bean? Like Rowan Atkinson was suddenly the model of masculinity that all these dudes were idolizing and I'm not sure if he was even aware of it.

"Beanposting" was like, the new meme and people spent a lot of time using AI programs to make images of jacked chad Mr. Bean.

I don't know exactly how, but this was related to something called "The Darkness." Like, if you beanposted too much, it would trigger The Darkness, but The Darkness could also happen randomly.

The Darkness was like, this thing that would happen as you were trying to sleep. This black fog would completely envelop you, to the point where you weren't able to see anything. Once that happened, you'd have the distinct feeling that you had been transported somewhere else, or like, another place had been transported around you.

At that point, you HAD to keep your eyes closed. If you didn't, you'd see a blue-green Greek letter delta appear in the air. It would give off just enough light to barely give the impression that there was someone holding the delta, like it was hovering above their hand.

I woke up before I could learn what happened if you saw the delta.

There was a distinct sense that The Darkness was a new thing. Like it had never happened before. People who weren't alt-right weirdos started beanposting because they wanted to see the delta for themselves.

Also there was definitely a sense that seeing the delta was REALLY bad. Like in the dream some big alt-right account like catturd or w/e stopped posting because they saw the delta. Nobody could even find out what happened to them but everyone just kinda knew it was because they saw the delta.
