Max I am suddenly obsessed with your fic idea of Steven getting dream advice thanks to weird weed dreams. I'd love to hear more about that one!

Alskdmoclsodkcs I'm glad!!! I'm actually really excited to write that one day- it's a favorite of mine to tinker with. It's set between the corruption incident and Steven leaving Beach City, and all about Steven trying to put the pieces together to what he wants in life. It also happens to include Amethyst introducing him to her bong, bc why not. (She has the dankest stash in Beach City DON'T @ me)

Anyway, each chapter is another surreal-ish dream that Steven originally attributes to the weed mixing with his meds, then just his meds, and finally his own Gem. Concepts include:

After a long day of awkwardly figuring out how a bong works Steven dreams of Lion, only Lion talks. I was never big into the "Rose is Lion" theory but Steven's always had talking animal guides in his more surreal adventures/dreams. Steven frets he's wasting time and Lion tells him "there's always more time."

Steven visits Jasper to show her a doobie and chill because as much as he hates being called "My Diamond" Jasper is the only person he's let have a good long look at how "terrible" he is. He dreams of her corrupted form leading him somewhere.

Connie comes over to study and while explaining math problems Steven falls into a doze and dreams of a 50s-style satire show (think "Chille Tid" but not as cute) where Connie goes to Pearl with a gash on her face she claims is from a rose bush and Pearl walks her through the process of how to apply makeup to hide it. Connie mentions that that might infect the wound and she tells Connie she's "free to bother her liege if she wants", telling him this is around when Connie first started training. He wakes up and rubs the makeup off her face, finding a scar. As Connie gets embarrassed Steven begins to realize he really doesn't know everything about anyone.

Eventually this coalesces into a moment where Steven takes a fuckton of sleeping meds bc he knows his Gem half will protect him and he wants answers as to where all of this is coming from. Pink Steven does appear, calls him a dumb fuck, explains that he doesn't control the subconscious and it's just regular Steven trying to work through his own problems, then punches him to wake him up. Steven realizes he has a lot of thinking to do.

Hello! :D

This year I’ll start a weekly section called: “Weekly Weblena Reads” (You can find the tag below).

Basically every Sunday I’ll post a new Weblena fanfic that I love and I totally recommend 👌. So if you have a free Sunday you can read it :). I’ll try to choose short ones (<10000 words), because for the long fics I’ll do another section :D

If you want you can tell me on the asks your thoughts of the fic, or any suggestion for the next week :D

Ok, today’s fic is Friends in High Places, by DontKillBugs.

“A monster hunt at Duckburg Docks leads to the gang hiding in a warehouse. With the chips down, Lena calls in an old favor owed by a surprising old friend. Webby is continually awestuck by how awesome her girlfriend is.

Weblena Week 2018, Day Two: Adventure.”

For me, I love when Lena shows that she has some badass and powerful friends, and how Webby Loves that ❤️. If you like magic, cosmical monsters and Lena saving the day, give it a try 👌

If you liked today’s recommendation, please like or reblog if you want ❤️. Also don’t forget to let the author know how much you loved their fics on AO3 👌

(All the credits to the respective author(s), I don’t own these stories, and my goal with sharing their fics is to spread their amazing work and to help more people to find amazing Weblena stories).

Weird question but bear with me: is there a name for the style of Private and Julien's wardrobes? Because they both look drop-dead phenomenal, and as a gender-expression-experimenting individual, theirs is the kind of style I would love to emulate if I could. Private's devotion to cuteness is honestly inspiring, and your version of him has become kind of a mini role model to me. Sorry if this got weird. Thanl you in advance!!

aahh i’m really glad you like them!!! choosing new outfits for them is the most fun part!!! QwQ but i know zilch about fashion, so i don’t know if there’s a name for what i’ve been drawing? and i’m not sure if this helps any, but here’s my though process: with private i wanted outfits that are tastefully flashy, cuz in my interpretation he knows he’s cute af and has different features he'd like to accent (shoulders, tummy, etc.), but his clothes are also cozy and sophisticated. like, a slick turtleneck with just a tiny bit of skin showing, workout clothes that are practical but pastel and adorable, or the sailor outfit which is youthful but undeniably bold. and i figure he’s just bold enough, y’know? mostly wearing things that make him feel cute, less so for others to pay too much attention to him. julie just wears things that are easy to move around in. and the clothes aren’t the focal point so much as what he adds to them. like, a black tank top is nothing special, but his makeup, bracelets, chokers, earrings, and everything else with color stand out more because of it. i also made him out to be someone who would draw attention to certain features, mostly his leggies, because as a dancer he’d be proud to show them off! so colorful skirts abound.

@dontkillbugs I- um- yeah actually, that’s fair. The temptation is real.

dontkillbugs replied to your post “CN PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANOTHER 3 MONTH HIATUS NOT AFTER THIS!!!!!!”

September 6th. Only two months?

sadly that’s for the australia release of the Heart of the Crystal Gems and not any new eps here in the US - BUT SDCC is soon and there’s probably going to be an announcement there :>

I really hope that the others don't give Pearl too much grief for all this. She's been through enough.

I don’t think Garnet's gonna be mad at Pearl for this ... Like, this is different than ‘Cry For Help’ where Pearl blatantly lied to her with little regard for her feelings. This was Rose’s doing, not Pearl’s. And if Garnet knew everything Pearl had to go through, she’d understand. Same goes for Amethyst.

And this will only bring Pearl and Steven closer together, now that Pearl got that off her chest and Steven finally got the answers he wanted.

On the bright side, only 10 episodes could mean that they have to trim the chaff out, and can thus focus on making the important parts more impactful. Its the same reason a lot of Netflix shows are only 10 or so episodes per season. I'd rather have 10 good episodes than 20 kinda-good mostly-meh episodes.

I think they deserve more but right now I’m with you on this one. After  witnessing the mass network cancellations I’m happy the show got those 10 episodes to wrap things up. And the fans are not left hanging. Now they should focus on the important players and ditch the weak storylines that were dragging last season down.

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being Who We Are In The Shadows, and 10 being 30 Days Of Night, how... I guess "civil" is the word, of a vampire is Wade?

i’ve never seen either of these movies but i get your point lol, definitely a 1. he’s not necessarily a nice friendly guy but he’s got to try to fit in with normal society. also just looking at 30 days of night screencaps, he’d think thats totally gross, super messy. wade prefers to drink his blood out of a wine glass lol, if he got a drop on his clothes he be like “god dammit this was a good shirt but i have to fucking throw it away now!!!!”
