WELL the results are in, I have a bulging disc in my back
I guess that explains why the pain came on so gradually. I didn’t outright injure myself but my back just kind of slowly got worse over the past several months. Apparently bulging discs don’t usually hurt much but I guess I just put up with the occasional backache for so long that now they’re almost constant. I have to go see another doctor in a couple days to find out what to do about it :I
ok so yknow that handsome squidward thing

Shit, this might be my favorite TF2 fanmade video since “YEAH, TOAST!”
Thought it would be fun to reimagine Korra characters as Reploids.

We Need to Talk about Pearl
For the last two Stevenbombs, we’ve been seeing a less than perfect side of Pearl. I don’t think this is some kind of negative character development, and I don’t think this is her showing her true colors. I think we’re watching Pearl come undone.
Garnet may be the team leader, but Pearl more than anyone keeps things together. Steven the Swordfighter and Coach Steven come to mind. With Pearl gone in StSF, things steadily decay. It’s mostly played for laughs: the house becomes a mess, Garnet and Amethyst are messing with reckless (albeit funny) magical items, Holo!Pearl nearly kills Steven. Pearl was gone for all of two weeks, and things were crumbling. Keep in mind the Gems are thousands of years old, and a lack of Pearl for two weeks was enough to make things go to shit.
In Coach Steven we’ve got Sugilite literally wrecking everything. The Gems - Pearl = havoc and destruction. Pearl’s “real” strength is in her stability, her caution, her composure. Garnet is genuinely apologetic and remorseful for this whole mess in Cry for Help—she acknowledges her rashness, and Amethyst’s recklessness, and turns to Pearl instead. Because Pearl is stable. Pearl is composed. Pearl is solid.
And this is exactly who Pearl needed to be for Rose! Pearl takes pride in having been Rose’s confident, someone solid enough for Rose Quartz to lean on. She talks about Rose sharing things with her that no one else could know, because Pearl was strong enough to handle it. It’s not officially stated, but it is definitely Pearl’s job to be fine and composed and available all the time.
And that, I believe, is why we’re watching her come undone now. She’s making under-handed bad decisions (not maliciously) because she feels like she can’t look like she isn’t coping. Every time Pearl breaks down, it’s because she’s realized she’s not the stable rock she needs to be.
Rose’s Scabbard: The break happens when Pearl realizes that she wasn’t the all-knowing confident she thought she was to Rose
Sworn to the Sword: The break happens when Pearl acknowledges that Rose wouldn’t trust her to give her whole body and soul to protecting her
Cry for Help: The break happens when Pearl admits that she needs to be fused with Garnet to feel happy and confident (though not in those words)
Pearl resorts, rather often, to under-handed, childish, secretive, sometimes even manipulative means of getting what she wants not because she’s a bad person, not because she’s fake, not because she’s mean—but because she feels she needs to maintain her air of infallible stability on the surface.
But she’s not. She’s not always stable, or solid, or composed. She slips, and now more than ever, we are watching Pearl slip.
And it’s a terrifying thing to watch happen.
I HAD TO
why do people even expend energy on hating su characters. like there is literally nobody on this show that I don’t love
everyone: HA ! SEE 1!!! THIS IS HEWY PEARL IS A WF UL
me: literally even amethyst understands how pearl is feeling. pearl very obviously has self worth issues and enjoys feeling worthwhile and wonderful while fused with garnet and everyone is going to use this to call her a piece of shit.
