ninejackrose this ninejackrose that... the most insane throuple of doctor who was in fact these bitches

[alicentsgf]

not being funny but if i gave birth without pain relief or a doctor after eating my best friend to stay alive and literally everyone in my life started praying to my dead baby and acting as if they have some ownership over and connection to him that i dont even get to feel because i had to hold his tiny dead body in my arms and accept i'd never get a chance to know him i would also probably become the villian

[homosexualslug]

this was basically how that scene went to me

Steven Krueger’s funeral party is my new favorite thing ever

the absolute ruthlessness of soccer is maybe not really addressed enough as the reason why the girls are who they are. the nature of it is shown a little in the pilot with the allie thing but after that its all very subtle. like personally i have seen bodies stamped on, players flipped on their heads, ankles ripped open by studs. allies injury was crazy but it wouldnt be the first time i've see a hard tackle break someones leg on a soccer field. these arent just high school girls. these are some of the most driven, ambitious, ruthless girls in the state. they had to be because of the sport they played. like they were going to nationals !! they were set to play it at the very highest level for their age group literally because they had these traits. lottie and shauna bodying the fuck out of people? well obviously, cb and cdm, they're both defensive players. knocking someone down hard enough to leave them gasping is second nature. and tbh the other positions arent any softer, just different. soccer encourages you to hold grudges, despise losing, and channel your anger into aggression. though of course the idea is you compartmentalise, you step back over the white line and its over, its safe and civil again. but the wilderness is just the field, there is no safe and civil, so they are constantly in that state of heightened drive and ruthlessness they've nutured.

"evelyn is gay for astra" i say into the mic. the people boo. i begin to walk off in shame as a voice speaks and commands silence from the room. "she's right" they say. i look for the owner of the voice. there she stands. its astra yao.

I do definitely disagree with the "Steven should have shattered White Diamond" argument, but I also disagree with "Oh the diamonds are Just A Metaphor, you're not supposed to take them as literal dictators". Like yes they are a metaphor for a conservative family, but you should very much also read them as dictators, because they are. It's not an accident that Steven spared the life of a dictator. The show is taking a principled stance against punitive justice.

It's presenting you with the worst person imaginable, one who has done harm on scales personal to galactic, and saying "killing this person is still something we should not want to do." If we can remove White from power while sparing her life, if we can put her to use undoing what she has done, that would be preferable to killing her, no matter her crimes.

And a lot of people just didn't want to hear that.

So much art directly states the message "revenge is bad!", but still gives the viewers- and often the characters- the catharsis of seeing the villain killed anyway. Crewniverse decided "no fuck that we are actually doing Revenge Is Bad" and a lot of you were not ready for that.

To that point, it's worth noting how this functions in regards to 'villains' in film historically and how that history ties into queer representation. Under the Hayes Code, it used to be legally mandated that villainous characters in films could not escape punishment for their actions. It's why the Little Girl in the Bad Seed is spontaneously struck by lightening, and why if a Femme Fatale survives a Noir—it's usually with the assurance she was a faithful wife the whole time who never did her dirty husband wrong. It's why we have long proud history of gay characters dying before the film ends. It's why basically every Disney villain dies a gruesome death, or is physically dragged into Hell. We all talk about how much we miss the unapologetic villains who are bad without remorse—and then forget how 99% of their stories end.

Lots of hand-wringing has been done about the violence and trauma of Bambi's mom being shot on screen, but not much about Uncle Scar being devoured by hyenas or Ursula being impaled by a boat. Nobody bothers to ask if despite what they'd done, why it was necessary to show children their grisly deaths. (Or to think about how often villains are positioned against blonde-blue-eyed princesses, and how often they are given hooked noses, or black hair, or darker skin, or disabilities, or even a 'foppish' or 'queer' affectation.) The Diamonds in Steven Universe do not die—and it's great. It's actually a best-case scenario! They see the error of their ways. They apologize. They help with reconstruction and lead the Gem Empire in decolonizing the planets they've hurt. They rescue the corrupted and shattered gems. Steven is able to resolve things cleanly without another war like the one his mother started—and where his family's war destroyed countless lives, he's able to restore them. Is there discomfort? Yes. SU made an entire epilogue series about that discomfort—and maybe that discomfort is good for you, and you should explore why an ending where everything changes for the better and no one is killed makes you feel upset. Fans of SU who claim to be so against the kind of empty cruel and perfection obsessed regime that the Diamonds ran, are still clamoring for blood in the exact same way they were. It's like you're the Catholic moderators enforcing the Hayes Code—angry that lightening didn't strike the evil little girl—like you'd rather stamp out anything with imperfections, than bear to keep living with a flaw.
