i don’t care HOW brief the bit is, if there is mention of a character wearing a novelty t-shirt, i WILL be drawing it. and that’s a bee makes a heart promise.
So...how much of the bad discourse surrounding Steven Universe is just because people were really hoping that the Gems would beat up Andy DeMayo in "Gem Harvest"?
I was astonished to learn that there was controversy around this episode, because I felt like it was just kind of a normal children's cartoon about getting along with difficult relatives; and then I looked it up and learned that it had the extremely inauspicious timing of airing right after Trump's 2016 victory, and, yeah, okay, I can understand why a children's fantasy about reconciling with your obnoxious conservative relatives and getting them to accept your alternate family structure would play rather poorly at the time.
I think that Rebecca Sugar probably assumed, like most of the world that wasn't my specific flavour of extremely online in 2016, that Clinton would crush Trump and that this episode would maybe help to smooth over divisions; but of course what ended up happening is that an episode about how you should be empathetic towards your bigoted relatives ended up airing just as your bigoted relatives were going around victoriously hate-criming people in the street.
Watching it now, though, it ends up feeling wistful more than anything. Like, yeah, sure, it doesn't work like that, and we all know that now...But wouldn't it be nice if it did? It feels like a pleasant dream.
Steven Universe is fundamentally a power fantasy—but the fantasy is being able to get through to people and heal things. The power is love instead of strength.
HAPPY PRIDE!!!
*Throws as many of my gay FH text posts at you as I can*
Everyone is queer
Headcanons:
Gay: Adaine, Aelwyn, Ragh (canon), Tracker (canon), Fig, Gorgug, Kristen (canon) and Fabian
Fabian’s gender and sexuality fuckery (and my headcanon that he’s got some religious stuff in there somewhere)
Aroace: Riz (canon), Adaine (somewhat canon?), Kristen, Fig, and Fabian.
Non straight Gorgug (canon enough)
Secret third thing Fabriz (canon if the sun shines right in your heart)
Kristen’s campaign (she’s getting all the queer people’s votes don’t lie)
Telemaine looking gender neutral I guess
Pussy loving Aelwyn, Kristen, and Fig (and Ruben who isn’t a true lover, he gets none)
Girlboy She/He Gorgug (honestly should be canon if not)
Figayda and Thistlefaeth in one (Fig and that guy she brings around for emotional support)
Thistlecaster!!
Rockcaster as well :]
Aberfaeth (you WILL listen to my Aelwyn/Kristen agenda and love it)
Bi Fabian (canon enough)
Max Durden (first time on here. ALSO, I’ll list it here, but pretty much all the text posts from now on are inspired by or assisted by @ecopunkhoneybee !! Please check him out. Also all the Max Durden stuff is mostly inspired by them and is heavily Gorgug/Max based)
Trackerbees
Fig (boy) and Gorgug (girl) [also boygirl and girlboy cause the rainbow is beautiful in fantasy high]
Thistlerock!!
More Figayda (who I think do the occasional threesome every so often. Now while I personally believe Fig would be the one doing the killing and Ayda would rather watch, I do think that Fig would boo and Ayda would kill on order because of loyalty/love)
Bi Gorgug (and Ace Riz which is canon)
Skuttlespring
Faebees!
More Fabriz
And Poly Bad Kids!
[A lot of them have them being freaks cause that’s canon.]
<First post I couldn’t tag everything in cause of all the ships + extra characters. I couldn’t tag Telemaine or QPR Fabriz or Mary Ann Skuttle>
