I hope that when Stephen turns 18, he stays exactly the same as he is now, but sprouts like a completely lovely teenage mustache. Then when he turns 25, he immediately transforms into that glorious Hair Giant that tumblr folks keep drawing him as.  Source: http://maariamph.tumblr.com/post/116049627968

Blasphemeral posted:You know that the word "relationship" refers to any set of interactions or connections you have with another human being, right? As in, you have one with each of your friends, with each of your teachers, with each of your parents, etc. It doesn't have to be about sex, and most relationships people have in their life are not about sex. Yes, but juxtaposing "lesbian" and "straight" in that same statement, which is what happened, makes it involve sex. I don't say I'm in a gay relationship with my male friends.

T-man posted:...why? Describing relationships in terms of the genders of the participants isn't uncommon -- or have you never been in a bromance? Or gone out with your girlfriends? The assumption that all intimacy and affection denotes sexual undertones is an old and entrenched idea, and I doubt this show gives much credence to it's taboo. Yeah, and none of those terms are "lesbian" or "straight". It turns out that words have different definitions. If your "bromance" involves cuddling and watching Netflix, then you're either using the term ironically or deluding yourself. I don't know what kind of godawful robot says "I'm in a straight relationship with my friends. No gay stuff here," but I guess probably they're members of Congress.

If I say I'm in a straight relationship with my platonic female friend, then I have lied.

This episode was so good  We got to see Bad Pearl, and we got to see Bad Pearl have an awkward crush on a human lady. This was a really good Pearl episode, and it's pretty entertaining to see what happens when she exits her comfort zone and tries to adopt her "terrifying renegade Pearl" persona. I think my favorite bit was, "I've already been a criminal for 6,000 years.  "I was also pretty amused when she decided to try drinking her juice, and couldn't figure out how cans work.

I just realized something about Bad Pearl. Those clothes weren't illusions, which means Pearl has just had a Bad Pearl outfit in storage for like potentially 30+ years.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Do people really think mystery girl is a reoccurring thing? She seemed like just some 80s movie reference for this 80s reference episode. She didn't seem like a real character, just a plot point for pearl. I just kinda feel like there's way too much effort apparent in her design for her to be a total throwaway. Like, they didn't just draw Rose in a punk outfit, they designed a whole character who superficially resembles Rose.

Steven's gonna sing Strong in the Real Way to her, and the final verse is gonna be her singing it, only she missed the whole point and her lyrics are actually just about punching stuff.

I assumed she just got bored with the project, since her tumblr is like wall-to-wall Sailor Moon and dogposts. I mostly skim past it so I can see gundam models and the rest of the bullshit in my feed instead.

Nina posted:Ngl it feels weird that they decided to give a thinly veiled thanksgiving episode a double airtime. I mean, it is what it is. The episode was already made like months ago, on their production cycle, so it's not like Rebecca Sugar was like, "They blew it up! Let's make a PSA about not setting your trump-supporting uncle on fire" back when the episode was animated/voiced.

Flying-PCP posted:I doubt it. Awkward timing of the 'Illegal Alien' jokes aside, it seems like there's a gulf between how the writers meant for Andy to come across and the real world relatives a lot of people are equating him with. I think there'd a lot less vitriol for Andy if people understood that this episode was probably in the can like months ago, and doesn't really have anything to do with the election. It's not like the South Park process where they literally make an episode that week so they can make fun of whatever the current thing is. Andy's issue wasn't that he was like a white nationalist Values Voter with very specific ideas about what constitutes a Real American, it's that his stubborn streak and belligerent personality caused him to drift away from his family and he convinced himself it was everybody else's fault for not putting up with him. The fact is that this year has revealed, for a lot of people, the seedy underlying ideologies of people they thought they knew and trusted, and they are probably projecting that onto Andy.

Who What Now posted:Isn't a majority of animation done in Korea, anyway? I can't think of any shows off hand that are done entirely in studio or even in America for that matter. I think South Park does it all in house, but their workflow is different because they're like puppeteering pre-fab models kinda flash animation-style. You can say what you will about how South Park's influence is toxic to the discourse or whatever, but their behind the scenes process is pretty fascinating. They bust rear end in their relatively small studio to write and animate episodes sometimes the same week that they air, so that they can be making fun of the latest thing.

Rand Brittain posted:I don't really feel like Lars and Peridot are very similar internally at all, even if they're both abrasive and touchy on the outside. Peridot doesn't really have the eggshell-thin skin and desperate attempts to front that are Lars' #1 character traits. Peridot is actually extremely confident about herself, which is basically the opposite of Lars. Even if she's doing something weird, like making abstract barn art or deciding to plant a farm for no reason, she leans fully into it and is super psyched about the project, and also is doing it for genuine self-actualization reasons instead of a shallow attempt to be liked.
