They Revealed That Steven Universe Was Pink Diamond In Season 2

Remember that episode “Say Uncle”? The April Fools episode in which “nothing was canon”?

Uncle Grandpa tells Steven that he needs to get his gem polished “twice a year”- every six months.

Looking back, this is strange. Rose Quartz does not need to be polished at all- it’s just not needed.

But, what does need to be polished twice a year? Diamond.

According to a gem cleaning website, TheSpruce, diamonds need to be professionally cleaned “once every six months”. Or twice a year.

A line ignored in an April Fools episode revealed the biggest plot twist in the show’s history.

…… godfreaking dammit

[chipthekeeper]

I have a lot of pet peeves but I think the biggest one is when people say things like “oh it’s such a small town, only 35,000 people” like bitch my town has 200 people, you need to pick a new adjective 

[thegoldengals]

According to Wikipedia, a small town is 1,000-20,000 people. So although you are correct in stating that 35,000 people is not a small town (it is a large town), you are incorrect in thinking that you live in a town. You live in a village. You are a villager.

[chipthekeeper]

I…… don’t know what to do with that information……a villager…

[taintedmousedelusion]

tag yourself with your living place’s population and what youre classified as. im 278,508 city boy

[rionsanura]

Here are the hierarchical classifications from Wikipedia

Ecumenopolis - a theoretical construction in which the entire area of Earth that is taken up by human settlements, or at least, that those are linked so that to create urban areas so big that they can shape an urban continuum through thousands of kilometers which cannot be considered as a megalopolis. As of the year 2009, the United Nations estimated that for the first time more than 50% of the world’s populations lived in cities, so if these were linked, the total population of this area would be about 3,400,000,000 people as of 2010.

Megalopolis - a group of conurbations, consisting of more than ten million people each.

Conurbation - a group of large cities and their suburbs, consisting of three to ten million people.

Metropolis – a large city and its suburbs consisting of multiple cities and towns. The population is usually one to three million.

Large city – a city with a large population and many services. The population is <1 million people but over 300,000 people.

City – a city would have abundant services, but not as many as a large city. The population of a city is between 100,000 and 300,000 people.[citation needed]

Large town – a large town has a population of 20,000 to 100,000.

Town – a town has a population of 1,000 to 20,000.

Village – a village is a human settlement or community that is larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town. A village generally does not have many services, most likely a church or only a small shop or post office. The population of a village varies; the average population can range from hundreds to thousands.

Hamlet – a hamlet has a tiny population (<100) and very few (if any) services, with only a few buildings.

Isolated dwelling – an isolated dwelling would only have 1 or 2 buildings or families. It would have negligible services, if any.

[copperbadge]

I….I guess I live in a conurbation. Chicagoland has a population of roughly nine and a half million, so a bunch of our suburbs must be full on cities. 

I am conurban. A conurbanite. This is my conurb. Conurbs in Horto. My condo in the conurb. 

[marisatomay]

apparently I live in a megalopolis and I’m sure I do because when I clicked on the link the first pictured example on wikipedia is the US northeast where I live kdjdkdjkdkfjf

[marshipan]

It’s a city because it’s called that and predates this classification system and there’s a town attached to it of the same name… But yes, a small town

[adgerelli]

Smallish town

Nothing

You knew. You knew and did nothing. How could you stand by and do nothing? You both knew.

I see the signs now. The older I get, the clearer it gets. You hurt me, by doing nothing. You hurt me still by no admitting it.

As sad as it is. You’ll never admit you knew. Neither of you will. And that hurts too.

I told Emily at a lock-in Emily told you.. You came up to me, mad, demanding I tell you what I prayed for. Why mad?

I’m sorry I wasn’t the first born. Or the last. If I was, would that change things? If I was a son, would that matter?

Did you tell grandma? Or did she know on her own? She beat around the bush. Was she ashamed?

It makes me mad. It makes me sad. I want to yell and scream. I want to lay in the bath, alone, for hours.

And while, I think, I want to talk about this. You will deny it. You will use God as your scapegoat. You’ll be mad at me, because I am glad he is dead.

Your love for him, your first born. It must be more important than my safety. You were supported to protect me. But you didn’t...and I got hurt, over and over again for 6 years.

Thanks dad. Thanks grandma. Thanks older brother. Thank for nothing.

[queenbrandy]

Depression

Who am I to be? This mask I wear, that everyone sees. But at times she cracks, and breaks. Then there is the fake. You see, underneath, she is real. Having to truly feel. The dreaded ‘d’ holds on. It has it’s hand around her neck, and there is no dawn. It gets glorified and judged all at once. And she, what a dunce. It’s that deep seeded hatred, held by those like her. She knows she should be better, but that’s such a blur. For years and years, she hides behind the mask. But years will wear it down, just pass her the flask. For she and I are the same, but just reflections looking back at each other. A drink, I need another. It is a dull rumble in the back of the mind. It whispers and seems so kind. It’s dark, that corner it lives in. What a wickedly sweet grin. A squeeze to her neck. It is all it needs to remind her to break. Shove her face down and take everything. All it does is cling. Hope is a light so far away. Her dirt covered face, covered in gray. All she can do is pray. As she lays. A bleeding heart. A pool of crimson starts. What a laugh it has. Smooth as jazz. It starts in her fingers and toes. The cold, feels like millions of blows. I stand there, staring as she slowly dies. I can feel it looking at me, those eyes. She is just a child. She should be running wild. I am grown. Holding a stone.

This glass between us is old. To be so bold? I can’t look back now. Can I keep this vow. I hear her cries as I slowly back away. Please stay! Don’t leave me alone! I feel it in my bones! Just another few steps. Don’t misstep. The silence is broken by a loud crack. Nothing holding it back. I kneel down beside her. It stirs. I grab her hand. I get a backhand. It doesn’t like what I am doing. It is brewing. I don’t let go. Neither does she. Holding each other, we look to see the world we are in. In the middle of light and darkness. It is still there. And I am tired. I give her a hug and kiss on the cheek. She knows and so do I. It creeps closer. She stands and looks right. Towards the light. Go. She runs. It jumps. I close my eyes and hold on tight to this dark being. Because she and I, are one. And it is my turn. Be free.

From the website:

“Nevermind is a biofeedback-enhanced adventure thriller game that takes you into the dark and twisted world of the subconscious.

As you explore surreal labyrinths and solve the puzzles of the mind, Nevermind’s biofeedback algorithm will monitor how scared or stressed you may be feeling moment-to-moment. If you let your fears get the best of you, the game will become harder. If you’re able to calm yourself in the face of terror, the game will be more forgiving.

Nevermind strives to create a haunting gameplay experience that also teaches you how to be more aware of your internal responses to stressful situations. If you can learn to control your feelings of anxiety within the disturbing realm of Nevermind, just imagine what you can do when it comes to those inevitable stressful moments in the real world.”

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

[minotaursauce]

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

[xaldien]

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

[minotaursauce]

Yowch, disgusting.

[samuraiko]

If I don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead.

[glory-of-hera-blog]

Always reblog this

[nygmobblepot-der-pool-deactivat]

If you Dont reblog this if u see it then i cant call u my friend

[witchofthefuture]

IF ANYONE TELLS ME THAT MEN CAN’T BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE, I AM SICKENED BY THEIR MERE PRESENCE ON MY BLOG.

If you disagree with me, unfollow my blog, block me and never look at my blog again.

If you want to debate about this or send anon’s about this, I will reply but your actions have consequences.

[witchofthefuture]

Out of 19000+ followers I have, only one of you actually reblogged about this issue, yet a lot of you have reblogged and liked a picture by playboy about catcalling and that how men should never do it.

Additionally, I have received abuse in my ask box (which I will be answering when I can) and threats. In particular death threats and rape threats.

I can see the real problem here already. Male domestic violence and rape is just invisible in our society because we don’t want to talk about this because it just damages the status quo of this fucking website.

[tarothy-deactivated20230301]

I’m a male victim of child sexual abuse. We matter. Please, reblog this.

[happerbunny-deactivated20211002]

Please never forget male victims are real and it can happen to everyone/anyone

[brightb-vt]

Make sure the romance is there on both sides people

[did-you-even-make-a-sound]

Screw people who don’t believe in male rape.

[raven-against-bullshit]

Everyone can be raped and denying that because of your childish, pathetic hatred for men is quite frankly disgusting.

[miss-jazz-complementarian]

We should care about our mens just as much as our womens.
