NO REALLY, TRY IT. Try it with any kind of inappropriate humor. Sexist, racist, homophobic, all of it. Look at them blankly, say, “I don’t get it.” And watch the discomfort with the old timey pleasure of a rich old lady wearing pearls.

Rebloging this for the GIRLS with the nervous laughs. THIS IS FOR ALL THE UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS. For the WOMAN too humiliated to say anything.

And if you laugh in uncomfortable situations. Follow it up and ask what they mean.

Just as a heads up, boys can be harassed, too! So boys, protect yourself!

I LOVE IT

[ateliersockpuppet]

honest question:

What is the point of being raised in a loving family if you still get Steven’s level of trauma???

(like no really indulge me here! i am looking for answers.)

[ladyoftheshadows]

That's the thing.

It's not worth it.

I covered this in another post, but the Gems never acknowledged what they done to Steven (at least not on camera). I'm sure his therapist will help him understand that what he's feeling is a direct result of what they did (and what they didn't do).

He has all this support, but only after having to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders, and only after having a mental breakdown did they do anything that actually helped.

Where was Peridot after she saw what happened to Steven and the TV? What about Greg when his son went to the hospital and he eventually made it about himself by rediscovering who he was? Why did nobody who saw the signs react more?

His family is supportive.

At a price.

I’m really getting annoyed with people who refuse to actually research and pay attention to what’s being said about SU.

1. Steven hasn’t forgiven the Diamonds.

2. The Crystal Gems haven’t either.

3. Same for Team B.

4. As well as everyone on Homeworld who’re just happy to live in peace and have normal lives.

5. The Diamonds are working on fixing the problems they made on Homeworld i.e. their own planet.

6. The Diamonds have admitted on how awful they’ve been and that what they did (especially in White’s case) caused all the problems that happened in the show past and current.

7. And this is most important. The Diamonds NEVER COMMITTED ANY GENOCIDE BECAUSE NONE OF THE PLANETS THEY CONQUERED HAD INTELLIGENT LIFE LIKE HUMANS ON IT. Earth was the first planet with that and Pink Diamond as Rose Quartz prevented such a thing from happening.

[ladyoftheshadows]

Genuine question, would them having shattered the gems during the rebellion be considered a genocide? We really don't know the amount killed, so would it depend on the number?

What was Missing from the End of Steven Universe Future

It was of course a fantastic end to the show, but there's something that I've always wanted to see in the show, but unfortunately will never get. We got to watch Steven breakdown, (still shocked that the corruption theory was right), and the Diamonds lament about how everything is their fault. Spinel also tried to take the blame, but the Crystal Gems (and Greg) were dead silent.

Even after Connie told them that now wasn't the time to make it about themselves, and how it is their faults, there was no self reflection afterwards.

Now, I'm not saying it didn't take place! But it would have been nice for us and Steven to see everyone (yes, even Greg) think about what part they took in bringing this kid so low.

His gem was ripped out, he stabbed Bismuth straight through the freaking chest for crying out loud! And if you think Greg's innocent, think back to the previous few episodes where he made a trip of adventure all about himself and never let his son explain his thoughts. That is literally his job as a father.

I really wish we could have seen everyone reflect and understand Steven in a new light, all by seeing what they had done to him.

Again, I'm not saying this didn't happen, I'm saying it should have been shown to us.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[thanks4everything-abandoned]

I think that they sort of did after Steven corrupted, with them all crying on the beach - although, I think it could’ve been better executed. When Spinel and White Diamond started to cry, I had tone-whiplash, and this might be me, but uh, their crying sounded faked and forced?? (No yeah it’s just me) White Diamond had nearly the same tone as she did at the end of the movie, where she was acting that it’s been *so difficult* to change.

Uh, my main point is that yeah, I agree with you OP. Would’ve loved to see Greg apologize with Steven more, and I would’ve like to see the Diamonds say sorry afterwards. I think that the Crystal Gems resolved their storylines, though.

[ladyoftheshadows]

I think the Crystal Gems did well, though it would have been great to hear them say it out loud.

I believe Yellow was sincere in her tears, I'm skeptical about Blue, but White was straight up milking it. I think Spinel's tears were forced, but I also believe that's part of her character. Everything has to be overdramatized, which actually leads me to a disturbing point.

White and Spinel were going back and forth over whose fault it was, with each one trying to one up the other. The scene felt like they were trying to make the attention about them, which is backed up by Connie warning them to not make it about them.

I also think Spinel is mimicking White, whether out of fear, discomfort, or genuinely looking up to her, I'm not sure yet.

Heck, in the ending, we don't even see the Diamonds, Spinel, or anybody! Maybe this is so the show can get back to its roots with the original characters, but to not even see or hear them talk about Steven and what they've done to him, it's kind of upsetting.

I've got another theory about White and Spinel, but I can continue that in a reblog or post.

Me whenever I'm suffocating under the pressure of people's expectations, let alone my own

[ladyoftheshadows]

I don't know how to deal with my friend being so nice to me all the time.

Any time I slip up, I'm late, or I say something that he doesn't understand, he's calm and kind. He doesn't scream or threaten me, he is kind.

I don't know how to handle it

SU Mini Theory: The Rejuvinator DID work!!!

This is probably very obvious but what the hell.

In the movie, Steven gets slashed with the Rejuvinator–multiple times.

At first no one suspects anything happened to him, as he seems to be fine. But then his powers start to malfunction, and he finds he has to relearn how to use them. That goes away pretty quickly, 

but uhh....then this sudden change in character happens in Future. 

Steven, our little Steven, starts having anger issues, seemingly from out of nowhere. Look i know we can sit here and argue that its a natural progression but, I don’t buy it. We’ve seen little Steven be put through the ringer an get frustrated before, he never behaved like this, 

This is too much, all at once, with no explanation. Then we’re given this bombshell by Pink Pearl:

That punch she throws at the wall in Yellow’s observatory wasn’t a one-off thing; Pink Diamond threw tantrums, tantrums she couldn’t control, and had a scream that could crack walls, and once she hurt Pink Pearl, and she was given White Pearl, she changed all at once and to the other extreme, as if traumatized that she had the power to damage someone that much, someone she cared deeply for. And now, after being hit with the rejuvinator in the movie… 

..he’s cracking walls like his mom? And I’m supposed to write it off as some natural progression? Nah. We’ve seen this destructive power before.

I think the foreshadowing is pretty clear,

THIS THING DID WORK; ON PINK STEVEN!!

and what this implies is fucking terrifying; Remember this?

Yeah, this is Pink Diamond after having gone through 8,000 years of character development. Here, she isn’t the screaming, wall cracking tantrum throwing bitch, she’s become a good person, with the bagage one would expect one to have when one starts off as toxic and becomes good, so when Steven was born, his Pink half had all its character development–but since Spinel hit Steven with the rejuvinator multiple times, I think his Pink side has regressed to Pink Diamond’s state, from 8,000 years ago. 

Which means, his Pink side doesn’t love being him right now.  

How can it? Every other gem hit with the rejuvinator had to be reminded of the experiences that made them who they are after all, how can Pink Steven love being himself when it doesn’t remember how it got there?

…and with this show’s track record with forshadowing, since Pink Diamond had to hurt someone she loved before learning to control her temper…

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

[ladyoftheshadows]

Y'all ever get too angry at something?

Like the kind of angry that makes you have to get up and walk around?

Like you start having angry conversations with the air because you're so upset?

Like the kind of angry that you shouldn't even be that mad at, but it makes you mad anyways because it's some kind of unearthed trauma?
