I thought it sounded different! Besides being a robot, I mean.

Rose never said half of her became half of Steven, just that she would become half of him. Maybe it's some advanced version of the holo-Pearl-synthesizing ability?

Why does every. Single. Photo. Of Trump's face have such a disgusting "expression?" It's like an alien trying to manually squish its human mask into the shape of a feeling, but it doesn't know any human emotions so it just contorts random portions horribly. The result is a creepy uncanny valley that gives me actual…

Do people actually do that? It just seems weird. I wonder if anyone's ever done a survey of this.

Gravity Falls
THEY DID IT! THE FANS FOUND THE STATUE!

Yeah. AtL still wouldn't be a bad starting point, but if it's going to be a f'real tabletop roleplaying game, I'd want to take advantage of the social aspects unique to them. Like, wouldn't it be cool if, true to the show's premise, success in the game depended partly on forming bonds with your fellow players, getting…

Also, she's the only Gem aside from Rose who formed meaningful relationships with humans. The other Gems didn't even come close. But that's also sort of the problem; the other Gems don't seem to care about befriending the humans, so she doesn't think that's something to be proud of.

The fact that losing the fight wasn't her fault might not matter. Her biggest insecurity is she doesn't know what she's good for. Her self-worth is entirely dependent on other people's approval. She was made to serve her friends' mortal enemies in a war she was never a part of, she's only with them because they found…

The worst part is that it was Steven specifically that Amethyst doesn't feel important to anymore. She never admits it directly, but she pretty clearly cares immensely about what he thinks of her. She'll dance around on the edge of a cliff just to hear him say he cares about her. When he returned to Beach City to help…

Yeah, Amethyst is one of my favorite Gems because she's such an interesting combination of "fits in with the human world more naturally than any other Gem" and "secretly doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere or is good enough for anyone."

I really want to create an RPG system based off the world of Steven Universe. Think how fun character creation would be!

Arrgh, this is so close to what I needed…

I don't think those were monsters. I think those were more Gem-powered artifacts, like the mirror Lapis was put in.

The cookies are all over the place in Attack the Light, too! Food is somehow capable of healing the gems, even though they don't eat.

I'm still curious why the other Crystal Gems were so terrified of Garnet getting mad at them, aside from the fact that I'd probably burst into tears if Estelle yelled at me at full vocal force.

The way I see it, Gems are like rocks in that they only really change under the influence of humans. A rock might get eroded after a while, or undergo changes from metamorphic pressure, but if a human finds that rock and uses it to build something great, or carve a beautiful statue, that's the most that rock has ever…

Sort of like how, technically, he only called certain Mexicans rapists, and assumed that somewhere out there, there could potentially exist good ones.

Gravity Falls
So… that statue turned out to be real, huh? Nobody's found it yet, but it's exciting watching the ARG unfold on twitter.

In fact, it has been running since before Ronaldo was introduced as a character!

I've never considered myself very patriotic. Like, I've always had a general satisfaction with living in this country, but I never really considered it a place I really LOVE or anything. I grew up during the Bush presidency, so that probably had a lot to do with it. There were times when I felt outright embarrassed to…
