The power of voodoo

You do.

We don't have enough information yet even to speculate. What we do know is that every kindergarten begins with Kay.

Animated cartoons should obviously have the same level of detail as still life paintings. Otherwise, how can we possibly consider them art?

I think bravest doesn't know what they're doing anymore. They've consistently wined about people not appreciating art correctly, then proceeded to... whine more instead of trying to so anything more constructive.

Basically, Bravest, just analyze or whatever. Right now this is just really boring anger-masturbation. At least before you were putting a modicum of effort into your shitposting, now it's just lame. Be the poster you want to see post in this thread.

Take the lesson of bitter experience that was taught in Wander Over Yonder. Don't feed the troll. If they post pretentiously pretty pictures,look at them or not and then just scroll past. The large majority of psychologists agree that the best way to encourage positive behavior and discourage negative behavior is to praise/reward the former and ignore (as much as possible) the latter.

Personally, I prefer the new direction they're taking. I've been needing some artwork to hang on my bedroom walls, and I definitely want at least one pre-contemporary piece.

This is really a no-win situation. I'm asked to provide a new topic, so I post pictures of art. If this thread is going to be an art tumblr, might as well have some really good pieces. Are you sure you're not displacing your own anger here? If people contrive personal insults out of paintings, maybe they're the ones who are being overtly negative?

Geez, couldn't you chosen a gemsona from the set of an opera that isn't so blatantly sexist/racist?

Moving on, I was rewatching "The Test" the other day and I realized something I hadn't thought of before: The gem stuck inside the Moon Goddess statue is probably alive and imprisoned in the same way Lapis Lazuli was. She's also probably really strong (her disembodied gem could power a tower that was basically the size of a small city) and really pissed about being trapped in a statue for god knows how long (who wouldn't be?).

Also, upcoming episode is called 'Return to The Moon', maybe she'll make an appearance. Maybe she'll be an antagonist.

Does Peridot know about Malachite at all yet? Because I feel like any attempt for her to understand Garnet would be wrecked by having Malachite around as an example of the worst possible outcome of a fusion (disregarding the Cluster and the mini-cluster whatevers).

Look here, comrades, as the classist fully admits his only goal is to lord his superiorness over you. What you enjoy and what you post isn't good enough, and so he must, in his infinite wisdom, show us uncultured swine the true light of refinement in the hopes that we will be blinded by it. Again, notice that he does not provide these simply because he enjoys them, because he does not and in fact is completely incapable of ever doing so as he cannot understand them, but rather he does it to serve as a reminder that he is better and you are lesser. Stand fast, brothers and sisters, for his is a shallow life, devoid of the ability for a richness of experience. Hate him if you will, but most of all pity him. He, like all classists, is but a mere shell of a man who tries desperately to fill the void that his lack of humanity has left him with the cold satisfaction of bringing oppression upon those below his station. Oppression by beauty is still oppression, and shall be rectified in the coming People's Revolution!
