Basically An Autism Dump

Hey guys!!

If you didn’t know, I have a fanfic called That Damn Dame and it is about Spinel and Pink Pearl aka Penelope!

WARNING:

The fic contains the following:

Rape

Alcohol use

Drug use

Smoking

Swearing

Violence

Smut

1920’s slang

Spinel being a goof

Gayness

It takes place in the 1920s during the prohibition era in New York City where alcohol was not allowed to be sold, made, or consumed (unless medically or religiously). But White Diamond has the Diamond Famila mafia where they go against those rules. Spinel is one of the gangsters and her usual role is to kill traitors or enemy gangsters, steal money or whatever, make the alcohol for the Diamon Family’s club aka the Diamond Palace, and drink her own sorrows away. On the other hand, Penelope (pink pearl) is a dancer who has been controlled by many people in her life including her parents but the worst puppet master was Marty, her dance choreographer. He manipulates her, abuses her, and tries to have sex just so she could have extra cash in her pocket.

Both Penelope and Spinel live a hard life in the 20’s but all of that soon changes when our favorite clown saves the other from being attacked again. They soon finally feel found. Bullets aren’t the only thing that starts to fly...there can be sparks as well

Do u agree?

I think something that gets lost on a good amount of Spinel fans is that her actions were not justifiable. Understandable, but not justifiable. Just because you personally adore her as a character does not mean that she is not fundamentally flawed. What makes her so compelling is that she was the first character in Steven Universe who acted entirely out of selfishness and pure desire for violence. She had no diamond to serve, no cause to fight for, nobody to seek justice for. She saw earth and all its inhabitants as the source of her pain and was FULLY aware that Steven was not Pink, that he had nothing to do with her abandonment, but she chose to "take her anger out on a bunch of strangers" anyways. She embodied the aspects of herself that she hated the most and took her pain out on an entire planet. What Pink did wasn't justifiable either, but it is understandable. It is very important to remember that Pink did not ask for Spinel. If anything, Spinel could have been seen as an insult and a view into the way the diamonds saw Pink. Immature, childish, overemotional, easily distracted. Pink had already lost one friend, her first Pearl, albeit to her own actions. Giving Spinel to her was simply slapping a bandaid on a far larger problem, that being her own mistreatment by the diamonds. The single thing that she wanted the most was their approval, and she was doomed to never receive it. Just as spinel was doomed from her inception. She was never supposed to fix anything, she was never meant to be a true friend to her, she was only there to distract. A huge aspect of Pink/Rose's character is that she did not realize the impact she had on the people around her. She was so used to being treated as insignificant and a problem by her elders that when it came to the people who really cared about her, she hurt them without a second thought. She did not think Spinel would take her words so seriously, she most likely assumed that Spinel would act on her nature and get bored or walk away.

That being said, both of them deserve consequences for their actions, and both deserve help and rehabilitation. Hurt people hurt people. Spinel does not immediately deserve Steven's forgiveness either. She is not entitled to his time or his energy. She inserted herself into his story and MADE herself a problem for him just because she felt like it.

She can be fun, she can be lovable, but she was created to be a character who is complex and flawed, a character that you can choose to either like or dislike for equally valid reasons. Her crash out was NOT justified, but neither were Pink's actions. And that's why we love her!!!
