The Rose/Greg/Pearl relationship drives me insane. Truly they examined every side of that love triangle and every connection fascinates me.
#StevenUniverse
The way Greg and Rose bond over a shared rejection of their past and an optimism for the future. The way the both support support and enable each other, asking for no explanations in ways that are both freeing but also prevent them from actually dealing with any of their trauma.
While Pearl is the exact opposite, constantly pushing Rose to grow but by her very nature Pearl is a reminder to Rose of her past and all her mistakes. The fact that they are both putting each other on pedestals keeps them stuck an unable to really know each other.
And then of course how Greg and Pearl go from cliche enemies fighting for the same woman to realizing they can support each other through their common grief for Rose and love of their son Steven. It's all so simple and yet so complicated and messy I love it so much.

The dumbest thing about the "Steven Universe cries to stop enemies" memes is they can't even find an image of him doing that. The one most commonly used is him crying bc he realized how dangerous his life is and tries to stop hanging out with his best friend to protect her. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Blank meme titled *there is...
Like yeah you got him. A 12 year old is crying because he's just escaped being beaten unconscious and taken into space prison to be killed and he's worried his best friend might think he's too traumatized to hang out with. What a wimp. This is him during the fight by the way:
The other one most commonly used is him crying because he's about to leave home at the age of 17 to go on a road trips to find himself and he's gonna miss his family. What a loser am I right? He loves his family???? Eww! Teenage Steven Universe cry...

The reason is that Rebecca Sugar/Crew ended Steven Universe the way they did was bc a story about radical acceptance of ones identity/doing everything in your power to get those around you to accept that identity was more useful to the average 12 year old than "murder fascists"
I mean we can talk all day about why the show went the way it did from a narrative perspective but at the end of the day SU cared more about teaching queer children to love and embrace themselves than it did about fascist space battles and some folks are still big mad about it.
If you took away that Steven Universe said "be kind to your oppressors" you fully misunderstood the ending. Steven tried to reason with her and it DIDN'T WORK. It's only when she has proof that Steven is Steven aka she was WRONG about something that she changes her mind.

Okay major #StevenUniverseFuture spoilers ahead (like finale episode) BUT

Steven was not "fixed" because his family hugged him. It was established in Change Your Mind/Episode 1 of Future that the cure for corruption is a combination of all 4 diamond essences
#StevenUniverFuture #Spoilers
One way to do this is for the diamonds to all be with the corrupted gem in water. Once Steven is in the water with the other three diamonds, all that's needed is Pink's essence which is in his tears.
#StevenUniverseFuture #Spoilers His family/friends hugging him and reassuring that they would still be there for him, even when he was literally a monster, brought him to tears. Once his tears mixed with the water his physical corruption was healed.

The tipping debate is actually very simple. In America there is a segment of workers who are paid after they provide their service. While this is true for many other workers, in those cases if you don't pay them, they have legal recourse. Servers don't.
If you are wondering why servers get so mad when you don't tip, it's not *just* because you didn't pay them, it's because they were working under the assumption that you would and treated you accordingly. If you weren't going to pay them you should say that when you sit down.
If you get your car repaired, and then afterwards they ask you for $2000 and you only pay them $1000 they are going to be mad at you. The same thing is happening with servers. You know the standard is 20%. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.

A lot of folks responding to this with well meaning "I wonder how TNG fell short of queer issues given Trek's progressivism?" and to be clear this is a question we have an answer to. Rick Berman, Trek's executive producer and head of the franchise was a homophobic asshole.
This is an interview from David Gerrold, who wrote the episode Blood and Fire, which was an allegory about the AIDs epidemic and had a single throw away line about two men together. Not only was it never filmed, Gerrold was pushed out of the franchise.
trekmovie.com/2014/09/12/exc… TrekMovie: Let’s talk about “Blood and Fire” – the Athen he truly means it. So it was time for me to get a scrip
Andy Mangels, the only openly gay writer of Star Trek at the time has this to say (the quote is pulled from memory alpha but the original article from 2004 seems to have been deleted) As to the alleged homophobia of Berman, Mangels, Star Trek'
