[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[HaltingBlooper]

I can imagine Emerald watching this from atop a nearby cliff/whatever you call the Kindergarten walls, laughing, and falling asleep, therefore falling at like 50 mph onto Bloodstone.

@21308 I'm so proud of how badly Eve screwed things up now. This is just too much. XD

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper

"Reggie, Sodalite, Spinel, and now Emerald? Emerald. Uhg. Is there any escape from you? And I've already done the rock stunt, find your own way of drawing attention, by thunder."

[HaltingBlooper]

@Loony "What rock stunt?"

[Loony]

@HaltingBlooper

"Oh, so you didn't see. Good. It was a terrible idea on my part and I'm not in the least afraid to admit it. But at least the burning stopped now, and I can somewhat think clearly. And it served its purpose."

[Akayaofthemoon]

Every time I read a Melanite post...Aqua just wants to hug this poor little gem and cradle them, show them the view of a beautiful sunset and tell her that there is wonder in the world so do not fear and confusion. There are gems here that will care for her and be there for her even if she doesn't want to stay with them!

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon Eve probably feels really bad about blacking out because she can probably relate most to Melanite as she was the only one of the current Kindergarten Gems prior who was ever alone in Kindergarten. She probably wants to help her out a bit just as Talc had for her, because she knows how scary it was to be alone in that place and how reassuring it was to have an older gem help them make sense of where the hell they were and who they are. The others may not have known any better but they did have each other, so at least they weren't alone. I expect Eve will be a little more patient with Melanite due to this. Though she probably won't act as much like Aqua in the sense that she'd be more like a big sister, she'd also want to try and comfort the gem, but as circumstances were it wasn't much of an option. Eve's main concern was simply to let Melanite know that there was more to know and to be more wary of her surroundings without getting Bloodstone riled up, and that message got across.

One big difference is that though Melanite instinctively wanted to leave and was scared of the place, Evenkite was completely terrified at the thought of leaving and was scared of outside.

@Akayaofthemoon

Also, I can just imagine Aquamarine re-meeting with Eve and learning that she met with Bloodstone:

"Oh my gosh, Eve! Are you alright? Did he hurt y-"

"Talc."

"-What?"

"You heard me. Talc. Do you know who she is?"

This could be an interesting conversation. XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Lol that would be an interesting conversation XD

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon

Well, such a conversation is probably going to happen eventually, after Eve gets out the 'what even just happen oh yeah that's right I'm an idiot kill me now pls' out of her system. XD

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

Lol poor Eve and her horrible decisions XD hopefully she gets over the whole Lille me now thing

[Saarebas]

Evening all! :) I just finally caught up on Steven Universe and I have to say... I am in love with Sardonyx!!! XD

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon

"Spinel. Change my nickname. Level-headed Yellow isn't going to work anymore."

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

I love her weirdness, hate the snobbish feel but it is a must. Plus I have negative feels about her sadly because of pearls reasons to make her. Not really Sardonxy fault but I agree with Garent

[Loony]

@Saarebas Sardonyx is great, isn't she? :D I know a lot of people didn't like her but I thought she was great.

Also, over the course of watching Steven Universe, Amethyst went from my least favourite character in the series to my top-most favourite, tied with Garnet. And we need more Amethyst songs. Please make more Amethyst songs.

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon What Pearl did wasn't right, but I understand why she did it and I'm okay with that. I agree with Garnet by all means but still.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

I get why she did it but she could have helped actually get the signal through, put everything in danger, thought nothing of Garnets feelings and only of herself. I get it, it feels amazing to be strong for once when you always feel weak but it still not okay

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I'm not saying what she did was okay, but there's a reason behind it that a Tumblr user explained very nicely as to why she did it on a more complex level, which mirrors my own defense of Pearl, but ye, let's not get into another war over Pearl's actions because those are everywhere now. XD

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon She seems like the perfect mixture of cleaver and cocky, jokester to me. And I have to say that... I am kind of loosing my sympathies for Pearl altogether.

[Loony]

@Saarebas I have to disagree about not having any more sympathy for Pearl, but that's just me and I'm fine with differing opinions.

On that note, though, the writers, well, you've probably already seen it, but there's this.
