@quartzsmash
those legs are much longer than theyre supposed to be, and thats not how legs really work with the large feet/thigh(?). definitely has to be limb enhancers
maybe this is where limb enhancers originated from? maybe pink diamond was the first defective gem ever?
GUYS WERE ALL WRONG WE FORGOT SOMETHING
Steven and Connie has never seen Pink Diamond before. So how do they know what she looks like in that dream? Plot twist: they donât. Remember, Connie has never seen Yellow Diamond before. Steven has. Stevonnieâs perception was essentially replacing the characters Connie doesnât know with the character that Connie associates with that behavior: her mother. The resulting yellow diamond had many of Yellowâs features due to Steven, and many of Connieâs momâs features due to Connie.
So if neither of them had seen Pink before, how can we be sure thatâs even the real design of pink before she was shattered? Stevonnie could be replacing some of Pink Diamonds features with those of Rose Quartz, resulting in Pinkâs hair being more poofy and explains why she has Roseâs mouth and nose.
So if anything, weâre seeing a fusion of Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond before weâre seeing Pink Diamond.
Which, in my opinion, is pretty freaking great
Random thought that I didnât really get to until now because we were naturally all shrieking about Pink Diamond:
âJungle Moonâ is the first episode in which we donât see Steven at all because heâs part of Stevonnie the whole time. In the course of the episode Stevonnie refers to themselves as both âweâ and âme.â Theyâre still fused at the end of the episode and have yet to get home to Earth.
Other things could happen to prevent them going straight there, of course. Even when they do get back, theyâve been away far longer than expected and are returning with a bombshell Steven is either going to have to discuss with the Gems or perhaps may decide NOT to discuss with the Gems. Theyâve remained fused for longer than ever before; there was time for Stevonnieâs facial hair to grow, they ate and slept as one entity and, not to put too fine a point on it, they would have had to go to the bathroom together. Thatâs not something any other fusion has had to deal with because no other fusion has been so biological.
Separating now could actually feel awkward and embarrassing because of the state of intimacy theyâve existed in for several days; they might want to delay that. That use of âmeâ could imply that Stevonnie is starting to feel more like one person. Iâm not expecting a Sugilite situation where they would angrily refuse to split up, but what if they did want to remain as Stevonnie for longer? I wonder what effects that would have?
-Spoiler-
Pink Diamond
Pink is the Tiniest Diamond!
Crewniverse tricked us into thinking that Pinkâs palanquin is a lot bigger than it is - same with Pink, herself. Â When Blue walks up to her own palanquin, itâs obvious that itâs just the right size for her.
But when sheâs next to Pinkâs, there are a LOT of optical illusions going on:
Blue was kneeling or crouching by it at first, making it look bigger.
When Blue stands up, she still looks shorter because sheâs slouching.
The way the palanquin is leaning makes the roof look higher.
The flowers obscure the bottom, making it hard to see just how big it is.
The palanquin is on a hill, making it higher, and thus bigger-looking.
The legs are extended (the ones on Blueâs were retracted), making it higher.
In the above image, you can already see that Pinkâs palanquin only comes to Blueâs shoulders. Letâs take a closer look and find out just how big it is:
Already we can see that the palanquin is a lot smaller than it initially looks. Â Letâs find out how much smaller Pink really is next to Blue.
So it looks like Pink is probably less than half as tall as Blue. Maybe about halfway up her thigh, give-or-take.  Looks like Pinkâs palanquin lends credence to:
The common theory that Pink is the newest Diamond.
A theory Iâve had that the Diamonds, unlike their Gems, grew up.
If so, this would mean Pink is even newer than I thought! That would explain why Blue (and Eyeball and Holly Blue and even Yellow) seem to act as if Pink was especially precious: Sheâs just a little kid!
EDIT: (In case anyone sees this.) Nice to see this post getting attention and some good discussion! =D Iâll note that Iâm experimenting with how much detail to include in a theory post, and how to best present information. Some stuff has been brought up that I left out on purpose for readability, or because it wouldnât make a huge difference in the end result. That said:
It definitely looks like Crewniverse was trying to make the height difference hard to notice, and the height difference is consistant thorughout the scene. To me, the scene screams âWeâre leaving subtle hints about things we havenât revealed, again!â
Blue isnât much closer to the camera than the palanquin, so there shouldnât be too much of a perspective difference.
The âHow Are Gems Madeâ Minisode states that Gems suck the life out of the ground to skip childhood (I suspect Peridot will grow). Gems are probably designed to do that because the Diamonds wanted them to get to work right away. If the Diamonds donât have that feature, however, theyâd experience childhood.
I do think dialogue hints at Pink being a child, rather than a runt. For example, Yellow calls Pinkâs zoo âsilly,â suggesting a childish nature.
I do think that young Gems and Diamonds would still grow up very, very slowly. Remember that Pink would have to be a MINIMUM of ~1,000 years old by the time she was taken down; probably much, much older, especially if the Gem writing in Off Colors is any indication.
I suspect that Blue and Yellow are already fully grown. Between that, and the previous bullet point, we wouldnât see any height difference with Blue between The Answer and Stevenâs Dream.
I guess I got some good feedback on how much detail to include, and Iâll try to adjust accordingly for future posts. Thanks!
EDITEDIT: I realized way late that, just before Steven wakes up, you can see the bottom of the palanquin⊠on TOP of the mountain of flowers!
So yeah. Iâm pretty sure the palanquin is really that small. =3 (Well, relatively speaking, of course. Sheâs still a big olâ Diamond!)
LAST TIME I REBLOGGED THIS THE LAST COMPARISON WASNT ON THERE
This is the best thing I have ever seen
@klubbhead You used a cinnamon roll for Rey and not Leia?

Blind people must save a lot on electricity.
They do actually!
I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, âWAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!â before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. Iâm sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadnât previously considered.
Sort of relatedly I once had professor who was deaf, but she had learned to read lips and speak so she could communicate easily with hearing people who didnât know sign language. One day she had gotten off topic and was talking a little about her personal life, so that one of the students said âOh, I know, I grew up in Brooklyn too.âÂ
She stared at him for a long time and then said âHow do you know Iâm from Brooklyn?â
And he said âYou have a Brooklyn accent.â
She said âI do?â and the whole class nodded, and then she burst out laughing and said âI had no idea! The school where I learned to speak was in Brooklyn. I learned by moving my mouth and tongue the way my teachers did. So I guess it makes sense that I have their accent, I just never thought about it.â
I had a teacher who couldnât see color ( Achromatopsia ) and on the first day of class, he told us to tell him if his clothes clashed because he could not tell.

what do you say?
in honour of march being #trypod month, hereâs everything you need to know about podcasts!
what the heck even are podcasts?
podcasts are audio shows that are either in episode or radio format, which you can download and listen to whenever you like, for free!! there are both fiction and non fictional podcasts, so there is something for everyone
why should i listen to these?
podcasts are similar to audiobooks and radio shows in that you can listen to them anywhere, on your phone or computer, and are ideal for commutes and journeys (i personally listen to most of mine on the bus to and from school). most podcasts are made by people as a hobby rather than their job, so you can support them by listening as wellÂ
where can i find podcasts?
pretty much every podcast ever is available on itunes and spotify, and many apps for non apple devices
cool, can you give me some recommendations?
fiction
welcome to night vale [weird and spooky fantasy] is about a small town in america, where a lot of weird crap goes on, but here in night vale this is generally completely normal. this is pretty much how everyone gets into podcasts, and is a really good starting point for listening to fiction podcasts
the bright sessions [sci-fi] is about some folks with superpower in therapy trying to learn about themselves, their powers and how to control them. honest to god this is my most favourite fiction podcast ever, i love it with all of my heart and cannot recommend this enough.Â
the orbiting human circus of the air [fantasy?] is about an old-timey radio show that broadcasts from the top of the eiffel tower. this is honestly such a joy to listen to, and has some wonderful stories with really interesting ways of telling them
wolf 359 [sci-fi and comedy] is about a small crew in a space station, orbiting the red dwarf star, wolf 359. it starts off pretty light hearted and gets pretty wild pretty quickly, so buckle in for a bumpy ride. (they did a live show and recorded it and put it on youtube and it is honestly such a gift seeing zach jump back and forth arguing with himself.)
the penumbra podcast [noir/fantasy/western/horror] is really queer. its great. the main stories follow a non-binary pi named juno steel, but there are other stories on the feed too that are well worth a listen (and season 2 premiers really soon!)
eos 10 [sci-fi and comedy] is about some doctors in space. its hilarious (the main plot arc starts with a boner that just will not go away) and the characters are super interesting. its been on break for a really long time, but is on its way back soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
the strange case of starship iris [sci-fi adventure] is new and really cleverly done. im still blown away by how cool the end credits are, everytime i hear them. its also about gays in space which is cool also ;)
the adventure zone [comedy and adventure] is barely a fiction podcast as it is 3 brothers and their dad playing d&d. if you have never played d&d, or think its boring, then dont let that deter you, because this podcast is the funniest one i have listened to. it starts a little slowly, so be prepared for that, but it really picks up a few episodes in, and griffinâs story telling gets SO good, i really recommend this one as well
non-fiction
spirits is 2 women chatting about really cool myths and legends, both old and new, from all of the world, whilst quite tipsy. this was the first podcast i listened to and i fell in love. i personally recommend the âjapanese urban legendâ episode its super creepy and super cool
dead pilots society is a table reading of tv pilots that are bought by companies but never made. they so far have all been comedies and include well known writers and actors, and are great for long journeys, as well as one time listening if you donât want to get too emotionally involved in anything
my brother my brother and me  is a really bad advice show and really good comedy podcast run by 3 brothers (the same ones in the adventure zone minus their dad) who answer questions and give terrible advice that is hilarious to listen to. they also made a tv show on seeso recently, which you can also check out the first episode on yt!
international waters is a quiz show between british and american comedians which is interesting and hilarious, with different contestants each week to keep it fresh and interesting
i have a ton more i could talk about (including my own which premiers on april 1st) but these are some of my highlights. if you want any recommendations, feel free to message me or drop me an ask!
I feel like getting my college degree will be simultaneously a relief and extremely underwhelming
âfiiiinally, i can add a sentence to my resumĂ©â
Does anyone else ever feel like theyâve lost literally all motivation and all you want to do is curl up in a ball in bed and eat junk and watch films and avoid all other responsibilities for like 37 years or so
do u ever feel like youâve accidentally tricked certain people into thinking you are smarter and have more potential than you actually do and do you ever think about how disappointed theyâll be when you inevitably crash and burn
Fun fact: Impostor Syndrome is ridiculously common among high-achievers, particularly women. If you identify with this post, odds are pretty good that youâre exactly as smart as people think you are, and the failure youâre afraid of isnât inevitable at all.
Even Maya Angelou stated, âI have written 11 books, but each time I think, âUh oh, theyâre going to find out now. Iâve run a game on everybody, and theyâre going to find me out.ââ
and donât forget this is one of the psychological barriers placed in by thousands years of patriarchy and male supremacy.
My computer science professor actually talked about this on the first day, it was really cool.
Fun brutal fact: in addition to the existence of imposter syndrome, being âtwice exceptionalâ (also known as 2e) is also a thing. That means being intellectually gifted AND ALSO having a disability that affects your ability to succeed at study or work. Such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc etc etc. A lot of people believe that itâs not possible to be both, but it very much is.
Society tends to have very high expectations for how well gifted people will perform. Society tends to have low expectations for how well disabled people will perform. Society tends to attribute invisible disabilities, including mental illness, to a failure of willpower or effort or a bad attitude.
So if you read this post and went âno, but seriously, this is not just low self esteem on my part, people keep thinking Iâm smart and then I keep crashing and burning and disappointing them and they canât understand why I didnât live up to their expectations, it happens again and again and when I tell someone how I feel and ask for help, they just tell me to stop being so hard on myself and that Iâll succeed if I have more self-confidence,â it is not just you.
(Also, one of the previous posts in this thread buried the lede a little. Imposter syndrome is ridiculously common in people from underrepresented groups in academia and other high pressure/high status fields, particularly women and people of colour. Maya Angelou did not only feel out of place because she was a woman.)
This essay also totally changed my view on the intersection of impostor syndrome and mental illness.
Itâs Garfield the Deals Warlock. This is my first TAZ fan art. Iâm not sure why I see him with horns⊠but yeah. Heâll make all your dreams come true.
