I've met some amazing people through the Steven Universe fandom, just as I have in other fandoms. Most people in any given fandom are perfectly fine, sane, caring people. It's always a minority who fuck it up for everyone else and they are in EVERY fandom.

My boyfriend and I (see: icon) started watching it together. I'm way more into fandom stuff than he is but we still watch new episodes together.

There's a fan artist on tumblr that draws her hair in a star shape. It's adorable.

Sugar has said it's not one any particular character singing it, it's just meant to express the general themes of the show.

I would be perfectly happy if Lion was never explained, like Hobbes in Calvin and Hobbes. He just IS.

(fandom pedantry) technically only same-sex fics count as slash (/pedantry)

I think they were close and maybe Amethyst had a crush. I don't think it went that far.

And then kiss.

True story: once I was image googling Jasper cosplayers (helloooo ladies) and I cracked up laughing: one of the photos was of someone holding up a single cheeto.

My tag for her on my tumblr is "angry space dorito." She's not as angry as she once was, generally speaking, but it stuck!

Last I heard, Word of God was that the comics weren't canon.

One theory is that Smoky Quartz is an Amethyst/Peridot fusion.

Also a pain in the ass to cosplay—I think if I pulled my Amethyst wig into a pigtail it wouldn't stay on my head!

So true story: I know it's such a tumblr thing to give diagnoses to fictional characters, but as a hyperactive kid with then-undiagnosed ADHD who heard "you've got such potential, if you'd only apply yourself," on nearly every report card of my school career, I headcanon Amethyst as having ADHD.

Rose Quartz didn't have the telepathic powers. That's just Steven.

You, me, and every Amedot shipper on tumblr.

Kisses.

You're thinking of Lawrence Tierney.
