So there’s a rumour going around that Christine Ebersole is going to voice White Diamond, and while I’m sure she could work in that role, I'm now imagining WD acting like this:

Can’t watch it just yet (still getting caught up on things I had to let slide while I was in Colorado), but for the sake of her sanity I hope she turned off the comments section. :( - Arkle

Apparently Onyxs and Agates are similar types of quartz, which has me wondering if they’d be more like the typical quartz soldiers we’ve seen so far, or if they’d be functionally similar to agates.

Is there an entire subspecies of angry, middle-aged goths?

I’m just waiting for someone to come out with a YTP of Yellow Diamond squishing Zircon with Yzma’s “I’ll smash it with a hammer!” playing over it.

My Family’s Slave

She lived with us for 56 years. She raised me and my siblings without pay. I was 11, a typical American kid, before I realized who she was.

The best thing I’ve read in 2017 so far.

The thing that gets me about the Juicero, is that for the overall cost you could buy so many cartons/bottles of juice that are ready to drink.

Not even just cheap "juice drinks', like really nice juices and fruit smoothies.

It can’t even really be said to be useful for the disabled, as you can buy specially designed bottle openers and pouring aids for very little.

That weird 10 seconds of good animation in an episode always weirds me out.

The team arrive and survive a [adjective] encounter with a group of [nouns], but [noun] is slightly injured by one of the CGI [nouns].

Unfortunately, their progress is [verb] by [noun], who alerts the deadly [noun] to the group’s presence.

During the journey, several people are stalked and gruesomely killed by [nouns], but a few others are also killed by [nouns] and even a [noun].
