Oh my god I can hear the Pearls’ backup parts perfectly clearly why was this not used in the episode

[partybraids]

There’s a wild Connie on the loose

I’m still baffled as to why we get a pointless episode like Three Gems And A Baby and not something like a backstory for amethyst.

Like I kinda wish we knew what the hell it was like for amethyst to live alone for so damn long. Like why did she not venture outside of the place she was born in? Or did she? How did she communicate with humans? How did the gems find her? What was it like spending years in isolation? What did it take for amethyst to realize that she was “off”? Rose states that the gems know their purpose the minute their but how much would amethyst know as an isolated gem? Did it take much to convince amethyst to side with Pearl and amethyst? How did amethyst view rose quartz?

I mean we’re 5 seasons in so it feels a bit of a wasted opportunity but still. I’m frustrated we had to watch so many fanfiction-y type episodes and not one about the characters and how they grew.

YESS I did enjoy the baby one though. But I need to know way more about my precious gems.

[bismuthspartnerincrime]

do yall ever wish the narrative would allow greg to just… snap at the CGs?

[curls-and-clones]

Yes

Dear writers:

Someone will read it, and they'll love it. They'll recommend it to their friend. Some quiet librarian will prize your writing, and recommend it to the strange young adults that come through once a month.

Hey follow my other blog: @420personalities Co-run

[curls-and-clones]

The sun peeked over the range of mountains, shining light on the town encircled below. Many awoke with a grin on their faces, for they knew the sun came to say hello. Away the ice went, melting into a puddle below the sleepy town of 4,000 humans. And with yesterday's grumble you'd think they'd remain blue, filled with sorrow, but what came with tomorrow was not only light, but the spirit of all who now looked like whoville, smiling on their morning drive to work, not an unhappy face for miles.

Also what the fuck was the purpose of Bismuth enhancing their weapons if they weren’t even going to keep them.

[katamariguy1]

Wanting to do something cool without caring about any long-term consequences for the show it’ll have.

[bismuthspartnerincrime]

*sighs* yeah

[curls-and-clones]

The new weapons were so cool 😕

[curls-and-clones]

They say don't lose yourself in others but I don't know who I am. I feel like a pearl impatiently waiting in a clam. I'm stuck in this body, I can astral project but my soul would feel damned. I'm lonely and have no one but my personalities, me Becky and Sam. I can put on a dress, entertain others for friendship but that's all glam. Maybe I'll put some tart mustard on a pound of ham And sit on my ass in isolation till I need to get up to use the can.

[wordsnquotes]

When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person’s body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love (via wordsnquotes)

If only loneliness were this easy for me. I’m lonely Every Day. I can go out and socialize but then next day I fall into depression because my actual friends aren’t here. I have Nobody.

and it's been a year since I haven't felt lonely.

Find Your Voice

I’ve been known to say that voice is the “mistakes” that you make grammatically and in other ways that make the way you tell your story different or “off” from the norm. This is one of the reasons that I worry about teachers correcting creative writing assignments, and sometimes copy editors who do the same out of a misplaced sense of helpfulness. A story has voice in proportion to the writer’s courage in telling the story her own way without regard for rules.

If you’re struggling to find your voice, may I recommend not showing your work to others for a while? Finishing books before sharing them? And reading in other genres than the one you’re writing in, or perhaps not reading while you’re drafting?

And a few other tips for finding your voice:

1. If you’re angry, write while you’re angry.

2. If you’re sad, write in that moment, with tears dripping down your face.

3. Write up your most embarrassing moments. Every detail.

4. Make fun of writers and writing you think is ridiculous.

5. Write about food. Or about running. Or about your children. Write about what makes you passionate. Write about things no one else cares about.

6. Write endings to stories that finished wrong. Write better versions of things that you wanted to love.

7. Write dangerous things.

8. Write about the things you don’t want anyone to know about yourself.

9. Write about people no one else sees.

10. Write mashups that no one likes but you.
