Who What Now posted:So I was relistening/rewatching 'Stronger Than You' for about the two dozenth time when something clicked that I hadn't thought about before. In the second half of the song Garnet sings this: There's a lot about the gems that we still don't know, but Garnet continues to be the most mysterious, even by Steven's description (though I expect that to start changing now we've met Ruby and Sapphire). In particular, while we've gotten a sense of Amethyst and especially Pearl's relationship with Rose and how they feel about her, with Garnet that's still a pretty big question mark. We know why Pearl stayed and fought for Earth with Rose, and we can basically infer why Amethyst became a Crystal Gem (though the specifics are another big question mark), but we know very little about Garnet's backstory. From what we do know about her, though, I think you're probably right. Garnet, from everything we've seen, is considerably more put-together than the other two gems. She's certainly the most outwardly affectionate, and I get the sense that in general--and somewhat ironically-- she's better at accepting and expressing her emotions than Amethyst (who can be cruel and vindictive and isn't exactly the most stable gem around) or Pearl (who seems to be repressing a lot of stuff). Garnet is stoic, but I think that's just the way she is, not some kind of front she's putting on to hide how she really feels. I'm sure she's got more going on that we just don't know about yet, but her characterization fits with the idea that she considers Earth her home and is mostly content with her life there (unlike Amethyst, who still doesn't quite feel like she belongs, or Pearl, who lost her reason for being once Rose went away).

I learned recently that there is a grassroots movement among the Bronies to mutate and invade the SU fandom under the mantle of Gemtlemen. If you ever come across someone describing himself as such, please

If you ever come across someone describing himself as such, please This rumor started with the fact that Equestria Daily is making a SU-related site. As far as I can tell the rest of the threat of bronies moving to SU is mostly tumblr doing what it does best: manufacturing panic. "Gemtlemen" are invading SU just as much as "SJWs" are invading video games.

The gently caress does "invading" a fandom even mean though? (besides the fact that it's stupid internet bullshit) Unless these dudes were MRA types who were going to start harassing the SU crew about how they're not representing women to their liking, I don't see why even the rumors of this should be paid attention to.

On the American TV cartoon front, I would also make comparisons to the increasingly intolerable hardcore fanbases of Adventure Time and Korra, but uh... Yeah, that's unfair. That's completely unfair when you bring Bronies into the picture. There are plenty of cool fans and fan circles for those shows, vocally rancid chunks aside. Those fandoms grew out of a good place of honest enjoyment of the material as it was, and that's still largely where they are, even as the material changed over time. It's not remotely comparable to Bronies. Bronies are The Worst. That fandom straight-up grew out of -chan culture, first adopting the show ironically and then very quickly it became sincere. But the "let's take this media and ram it through our hideous -chan culture lens" part stayed consistent throughout and-- SU Bronies would be a nightmare scenario. Thing literally nobody wants.

You know, I don't think it ever clicked before that the biggest problem with who Bronies are was from the fact that they so heavily overlapped with 4chan people. It all makes sense now. I wonder how they rationalized that show with their extreme hatred of anything relating to being a nice, decent person. Or as they call it: being a SJW.

There's a fun quote I picked up on a rewatch from episode 2, Laser Light Cannon, when Steven is asking Greg where the cannon is:Steven posted:But they need mom’s cannon. You gotta know where it is, like a cave-dungeon or a cloud fortress, or in a clam at the bottom of the ocean. Holy poo poo Steven, good guesses! We're at 2 outta 3 - who wants to take odds Rose having a hidden stash of some sort at the bottom of the ocean? Ursine Asylum posted:Think about that involuntary shudder and bad taste you get in your mouth whenever someone over the age of 12 says "My Little Pony", but with Steven Universe. That's fair, but I've been watching the reddit a lot and unless there's a ton of stuff happening on Twitter or Tumblr or something, I think this is overhyped panic. I've yet to see a single person actually refer to themselves as a "gemtleman". Like half a day or so ago I saw some posts of people tentatively starting to ask if maybe it was a good idea to come up with a name for the SU fans, of which various were suggested including gemtlemen. Then screenshots of those suggestions started to circulate, and were met with derision and doubt. Then it started circulating more and more that some sneople somewhere were actually starting to call themselves that and it was catching on and it's secretly the MLP fans and they're invading and trying take over and omg omg omg I think we can all relax about this one. It's really stupid, but luckily, it's also not real. (although with all the hype it's building, to the point that SU staff are commenting on it, maybe the name will catch on!  )

I wish I had the skills to isolate the foreground from the background for the duration of the Plug Robonoid's walk cycle when the Gems are riding it through the kindergarten during Marble Madness. It'd make a cool animation loop.

Is there any chance people posting fanart can source it, even just by artist name/screen name, if not a link to their tumblr or twitter? Its kind of rude to repost and rehost artwork without even giving credit where its from. Thanks.

I'm late for the "gems changed history and the United States is different" chat but it should also be noted that Gems have changed the geography too. Look at the Georgia/North Florida area.

Acne Rain posted:But then what's sour cream, that's not a vegetable. Well, see, JRPG villains pass through a series of metamorphoses in which they become increasingly monstrous and powerful. Eventually, however, they cross the "bishonen line" and achieve their maximum power while returning to something similar to white-haired prettyboy shape. Sour Cream has already completed his maturation; Onion is still in the early stages.

Its kind of rude to repost and rehost artwork without even giving credit where its from. Thanks. On the one hand, sure, but on the other hand google reverse image lookup kinda makes the need for that obsolete. I dunno about you but in my browser it's just a right-click option and it'll pretty easily let me know where any image came from. The author info may as well be metadata at this point.
