With the rose diamond theory officially shattered I am interested in seeing how this shapes Steven's ideology in the long run. Already he had to make a choice where it was him or someone else and before he can really grapple with what that means to & for him he is found and on his way home.

We can do that while also pointing out how racial coding colors the response to character choices tho.

There is 100% going to be a LOT of discussions on the politics of Rose possibly shattering Pink Diamond vs. Bismuth wanting to do so and I WELCOME it. Bismuth's aim was emotionally well done while they allowed Steven to feel his feelings and validate both.

Honestly, Smoky Quartz is a really great combo and I liked the speech before hand, that he loves the two of them being the 'bad' gems & to stop leaving him behind because they're in it together. Amethyst has always been more big sister than maternal and it reminded me of my own coming together with my own little…

Also an excellent point as the black coded part of her represents white hot - or red hot rather - rage more often than not. These are things that need to be made mention of as, hopefully, only unfortunate coincidences that reveal hidden biases and not deliberate choices.

Not to rain on the parade, as I truly enjoyed everything we got for this two parter/full half hour, but part of me is uncomfortable that the black coded character played by the black actress became, essentially, an angry black woman at the end too uncontrollable to be left standing.

Given that we still know nothing about the non Greg & Steven Universes I'm wondering about things like Greg's education level or even relationship with his family and perhaps he realized that the carwash would only pay enough to support all of Steven's needs and choose staying in his van/out of an apartment was an…

Is Debra Wilson in this? Because if she isn't that's the problem.

I will never understand the anger over this new ghostbusters. I mean, I do get it - male entitlement - but it's not like this ghostbusters is going back to the past and erasing the first one AND it creates much needed representation for little girls so how exactly does it 'ruin anyone's childhood' considering the…

Nah, she would definitely be the blonde if either of them.

One of my favorite things by her but definitely something I only knew of when it was running syndicated on the CW. The show was really made on her chemistry with her brother (semi baffled at her antics), Barb (Christine & Wanda were electric together) , her ex (who initially was no better than her) and surprisingly…

Rather than becoming a new Rachel - because I'm not even sure Rachel wants a mini me - I would love for Madison to snap either emotionally or angrily and write a tell all via a non fiction 'fiction' book with only names changed.

oh, agreed. I was certain, like always, the seasonal villain would sneak in from top 5 all the way into at least top 4 or- even top 3 - but when Derrick went home I immediately cheered because it removed the season's only bad remaining choice. I truly adored this top 4 individually & together so while loosing my…

I was SURE Chichi would make top 3 and win because the only real critique was her not having enough money to do drag at the level the other 3 could and because of their similar background as far as hometown but alas!

It's an odd feeling to go into this finale with 3 possibilities that I actually like and actually have earned it because the outcome is great regardless but you still feel sad for the pending losers.

here are words I never thought I'd say but - I prefered laganga's 'legs' since and it was all I could think of musically while Naomi was performing.

great article but I do want to point out that there was some slight back story for Raven's powers in an episode where Raven has a 'psychic cold' & can read mind temporarily & it's revealed that Tanya's mother was also a psychic - implying the powers skip a generation. The remaining plot being about Victor's mother not…

The problem with genuinely loving all of the top 4 is that anyone leaving would hurt but I was really hoping Chichi could make it because with money to use for her drag it would only get better - look at Jinkx now compared to on her season - but I can't even be too upset either because I felt they eliminated as fairly…

my analogy was apt because it's an example of someone not in a community wanting to reclaim a slur that doesn't belong to them and the people I'm taking cues from are what I've seen in discussion from the trans community.

My disagreeing with Ru's position doesn't automatically mean I do not know it. I respect Ru's perspective & place in history but recognize that trans people today have varying opinions on it, just like black people do with the N word. Even so, unless I'm missing something Ru hasn't come out as trans so his opinion on…
