Moved to a new blog!!!!
My new account is @lunardolphinalexā and I will be posting everything there from now on. Yeah, Iām abandoning this account, but Iām still leaving it up. If anyone still wants to follow me, then follow my new one.
Im in love with your art alex-guardian!! I love how you mix your colours and how you draw your people!!! Its so calming and nice!
AAAAAH thank you!!!!!!! My heart!
(Wow I did not see this until now)
I donāt think many people on here are getting this message from the episode, so allow me to throw this bit of logic out there.Ā
In the psychology world, often when we look at abuse we tend to view it as a endless cycle. To put it simply, if you have been hurt you will go on to hurt others. The once victim becomes the abuser, and that abuserās victim will go to abuse, etc. Nobody is innocent in this scenarioā¦hurt begets hurt.Ā
Lapis hurt Jasper because of what Homeworld did to her. By taking back that power -no matter how noble her intentions- she became the abuser. Does that mean that Jasper was the innocent one hereā¦um no. Ā
Furthermore, they are a prime example of a toxic relationship and what it does to your psyche. They both hurt each other terribly, but still want to be in a relationshipā¦yet they do not need to be in one because they are horrible for each other.Ā
I mean, do either of these seem healthy?
Iām glad the Steven Universe crew pointed this outā¦its so possible to want a relationship with someone and not need it. And it is so easy for a victim to become the abuser.
Even more importantly, Lapis broke the cycle in this episode. She told JasperĀ āNo!ā, even though she missed her because she understood that their relationship was hurting both of them. And that is so important.Ā

How to make a character's death sadder
Ā Donāt have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people donāt even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).
Ā Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.
Ā Give them strong relationships with other characters.
Ā Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.
Ā Kill them in the middle of their character arc.
Ā Donāt describe their funeral in detail. Maybe itās just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.
Thatās enough Satanās publisherā¦
>B)
7. If possible, try to kill them off in the middle of the story, so we had time to like them and we will have time to let the loss settle in.
8. Also, place surviving characters in a situation where having the deceased person there would help them get out. You can choose whether you will point this fact out or if you want the audience to make the connection themselves.
9. Make them die by sacrificing themselves to save someone they love from a danger created by the antagonist.
based on a few deaths that made me blub like a babyā¦
10. have their loved one, broken hearted, tell the team to stop fighting because āits over.āĀ
11. have their pet come looking for them.Ā
12. have their loved one perform a popular song at their funeral so it makes the fans cry whenever itās played.
13. family witnessing the death and/or blaming themselves.
~ Mulan
soā¦ letās add some frustration to your dear readersā sadness, shall we?
14. kill the character in the middle of making a joke, smiling, or expressing/experiencing joy/happiness.
15. make the characterās death slow and painful, but make them unable to call out for help even though they can literally see the other characters nearby.
16. after killing the character, have others think the character had betrayed them so theyād always hate them and remember them as traitors and never say nice things about themā¦ Give your readers no chance to have group-therapy with other characters by making them the only ones who know the truth.
17. right before their death, show a side of them nobody has seen. (someone who is always tough and brave being genuinely scared of dying alone; someone who is always laughing being in tears before dying, etc.)
18. make them the only person who knows a big important secret that would help other characters in the story.
19. have them being lied to before dying. (thinking theyāve been betrayed; thinking they werenāt loved; thinking theyāve lost their loved ones, etc)
20. make the character very enthusiastic/passionate about a certain goal, constantly put stress on their goal, have them die unexpectedly before they can reach their goal.Ā
and the best oneā¦
21. have another beloved character kill themābetter be a close friend to your character, one that absolutely nobody suspects, one that everyone canāt help but love, one who is always enthusiastic about things and encourages your character. THEN
reveal the truth only later when itās too late and the a-hole character has already escaped.
have a cowardly character know the truth and never tell anyone else
have another character find out the truth and have them die before revealing it to others.Ā
have the said character ^ not actually die, but go through something so theyād forget the friend of the deceased character is actually an asshole.Ā
This way only your readers will know the truth, thus the frustration would beā¦ most enjoyable for you.
Satan out.
22. Donāt kill their body.Ā Kill their mind.
Leave the physical shell walking and talking, but strip out everything that made that person who they were.Ā Make them forget all about their loved ones, themselves, their experiences and past, their skills, and have them have to start over completely from scratch.Ā Physical and mental disabilities bonus points.
And keep them in a place where their loved ones will be taunted every day by a living ghost.
officialluna
23. the character you kill should be the most innocent one. itās horrifyingly sad if the puppy gets killed. but if its the bad guy that dies, itās likeĀ āoh, cool.ā
24. Show how it effects the other characters. Donāt just gloss over it. Is this the death that pushes them over the edge? Do they blame themselves? Do they scream at everyone and break down, or do they suffer silently?
25. Have their family find out. The mother screams, the dad cries, the brother punches the wall or holds the body sobbing āI was supposed to protect himā, or ācome on, you need to wake upā
26. Have them beg for death from the person they loved mostā¦
Antra no stop pls
CHILL
27. Have them die by accident. Take the character the readers will love most, who has never been mundane throughout all the time the readers knew them. Take that special character, the leader, the fighter, and let them die from something none of your characters could have prevented. A rotten bridge, a runaway carriage or drunk driver. Anything that could happen to anyone. Let it happen to them.
I feel so much pain right now.
I love a good death yaaasss
nice
I looked it up and holy shit youāre rightĀ
Yeeees!!!
please just read the whole thing
"You get to drive away" Oh my gosh XD
I used to be productive, but then I watched Voltron and now all Iāve been drawing has been these space losers in flower crowns.
Steven Universe - S3 E15 - Alone at Sea
YES!
Also was I the only one who thoughtĀ āME MILLIONTH DOLLARā when the fishing line broke?
Keep reading
Dude, Iāve seen youāre art, and Iām just about to try to get enrolled in a community college, you at least have a better chance than me, and if anything your artās amazing!
Wow, Iāve reblogged a lot of Steven Universe stuff tonight. Todayās episode was... strangely relatable.
Also, I understand both Lapis and Jasper are at fault for the harm caused to each other. Iāve seen SOOO much stuff tonight about that and I wanted to make that clear.
But yeah, that was a REALLY good episode!
Poor Lapis.
its?? conflicting and confusing so after this im gonna head off tumblr for the night
i know both of them were in the wrong but i default to feeling bad for lapis because i see myself in her and i know that shes hurting, but then i feel bad about feeling bad for lapis, because i know she wasnāt totally innocent.
there is no clear way of how to feel about this i guess? sorry for clogging your dash
Love like you
SOMEBODY HELPĀ
You know, as someone whoās been in an unhealthy relationship before, this episode struck me on a personal level
I can totally see a metaphor here, the ālets get back together, ive changed itāll be better this timeā
Some might think this was over hyped for what they delievered, but I think it deals with such a strong level of emotion for those who can relate.
Itās actually really hard to deal with these kinds of things, Lapis said she missed Jasper, but she was still able to put an end to it.
Of course Sugar would be involved. Thank you
I know family members who were in terrible relationships, and have gotten back together with someone who was terrible to her. The relationships became unhealthy, it severely hurt her, physically and emotionally.Ā
Seeing Jasper come back and beg for Lapis the fuse with her again was one of the tensest moments in the show for me, because Iāve seen theĀ āMalachiteā result in real life.
I love how the episode turned out! Iām glad that Lapis refused Jasperās plea to fuse again because āit could be better this timeā, orĀ āwe were so powerful together.ā And the person above is right, it is hard to deal with something like this; missing the feeling of being with someone, the power of being with them, thinking that something went wrong and that you could fix it when really it canāt be fixed without seriously harming one person, each other, or the people around them.
I know this has been said for a lot of subjects on this show, but Iām glad THIS is portrayed on a kids show. How itās shown that if being together with someone is unhealthy or is hurting either member of the relationship, itās best not to be together, and to not let anyone else convince them that they can make things turn out differently or that things will be better than last time
And one more thing: I hope that when Jasper returns again (because she will be back at some point, even if itās just for a few moments like tonight) she wonāt try the same thing with Lapis, or any other gem, to gain power or control. And if she does, I hope she either has a looooooong, difficult redemption like a lot of people have been wanting.... (personally, even though I LOVE the fanart of her Iām not a huge Jasper fan. She hasn't showed any hint of not wanting to harm any of the Crystal Gems or Steven, or betraying the Diamonds in doing what she thinks is right, so I donāt see her as being trustable yet. NO MATTER WHAT SHEāS DONE SHEāS STILL AN ENEMY (Iām looking at you, Jasper fans, I have respect for her standing up for what she believes, I just donāt see her as a Crystal Gem or protagonist material yet) And after what happened in tonightās episode...yeaaaaah) ....so she can stop this, or she has this happen to her again because she needs to STOP!!!:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAĀ
FINALLY. IāVE BEEN TRYING TO CATCH YOU TWO ALL. DAY.
NOW THAT IāVE GOT YOU RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOUā¦..
ā¦ā¦Iād like to buy some chocolate.
Iāve seen a lot of stuff about Voltron on here lately and since I now have Netflix Iām going to check it out. I hope Iām watching the right one (Legendary Defender) and not any of the earlier ones, since everyone seams to just refer to it as Voltron. The art style (which I already love) looks really modern though, so Iām going to take a chance. If itās not, then can someone please tell me which one it is, because it looks really good.
ITāS OVER AN HOUR PER EPISODE! AND ITāS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Also I think this is the same for almost any fan of the show who Iāve met, but Pidge is my favorite!!!
The voices and animation are SO GOOD!
