Through the power of Tumblr search, I present the first thing I found:



I'm really coming around to this being a thing in general. Reminds me of a lot of my favorite pairings.

I had the joke idea of Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond being redeemed and living at the Pizza and Fry places, where Blue Diamond develops a crush on Ronaldo.

But then I had the much better idea of them living with Lars and Sadie and giving them advice on their relationship.

In spite of the fact that they haven't been eradicated entirely, I'm glad shipping wars aren't nearly as intense as they were a decade ago

I lived through the great Teen Titans and Last Airbenders ship wars a decade ago. It was pretty bad.

I like shipping, it's fun to me, and I like cute things. I don't understand anybody who feels the need to scour a work for evidence of their favorite ship, write essays about why their ship is the best, or get into really heated arguments about it though.

I just passively consume the fan content that's created. I guess it helps that I don't just pick one ship for a character and hope for it above all else. I like Lapidot and Amedot, just like I liked BBRae and BBTerra when Teen Titans was a big thing.

At least with stuff like this, the fantasy couples people obsessed over consisted of characters who were all relatively the same age.

I seem to recall some of the Harry Potter shipping stuff getting deeply creepy in that regard.

I mostly just remember how the fanbase treated Snape more than anything else.

I don't mind people writing fanfics about their ships, and I've even dabbled with it a bit myself.

It does get pretty wild when people start writing fanfics that kill characters or warp them so that they don't get in the way of the author's supported pairing though.

At least they're probably all united in hating TTG to an unreasonable degree.

I hope SU gets a TTG crossover episode.

Funnily enough, TTG usually causes problems, because on one hand you have people who are happy to have all the BBRae fanservice, but then you get people who are angry about that and try to make it a moral thing about how it's an abusive ship somehow.
Then you got the usual problems that come with being the most popular ship in the fandom, since it means there's more assholes going out of their way to be dicks to people who don't like BBRae/like other ships.

Also, I'd welcome a TTG crossover since I liked the Uncle Grandpa one.

I'm glad Sardonyx came back in a speaking role. Out of any of the fusions, she seems like the one that's most reliant on being voiced in their scenes instead of just being silent like Sugilite.

I think a big part of Jasper's possible redemption would be convincing her that the loyalty and respect she gives the Diamonds is a one-way street.

hence why shipping is hosed. When I watch shows, I like rooting for romantic couplings, but only when it seems like the characters bring out the best in each other.

I think most shippers feel that way about the couples that they like.

Roth
Jul 9, 2016

Also, I have to say, I think treating romantic relationships in fiction in general to be things where they have to be some true love thing where each other partner utterly completes the other and eliminates their flaws completely is really boring. Ironically, I think that's a really obnoxious shipper trait where people will write up entire essays about how a couple is perfect for each other, or why this instance of two characters not being on the best terms is proof that any future relationship between them is doomed.

I really just see a couple of characters interact, think their dynamic is interesting enough, and think "Yeah, I could see this working out between them." If it ends up happening, then cool, if not, then I'm not going to be all that miffed. It really doesn't have to be any deeper than that.

Like, if Lapidot or any ship I like became a thing, and wasn't written badly, then I'll be happy with it, but it won't make or break the show for me if it never happens.

I think it can be interesting to read/watch something about a bad relationship, so long as it's not romanticized to be a good thing.

The dynamic of Onion and his Little Rascals is the same as what the Four Diamonds had, adoy.

Pink Diamond was shattered in an unfortunate roller derby accident that Rose survived. The whole Rebellion was all just a huge misunderstanding.

Steven didn't kill the Rubies so don't worry about it.

All he did was send them flying forever through space where the only thing they will ever have to keep them company is the crushing oppression of their own thoughts as they slowly grow insane. But hey they ain't dead and can't die unless they happen to land on the surface of a star sometime in the next 100,000,000 years so no need for Steven to feel guilty!

They eventually stop thinking.

I'm going to be the debbie downer and say that I don't think Teen Titans Go is any good.

Star vs the Forces of Evil is good, and if tou like Star Wars then Rebels is worth checking out. Gravity Falls id also a good recent cartoon that ended with a really satisfying conclusion.

I just don't think the show is funny. I agree that the people who get really salty about it not being serious enough are a bit silly though, especially since that was a big complaint people had about the original show too.

I noticed at the comic shop today that there was a new Steven Universe comic series, so I bought the first issue.

It was a cute little story about Steven, Lapis, and Peridot taking care of a baby bird. Nothing essential, but still fun.

I think my favorite thing about the development of Blue and Yellow Diamond is that to me at least, it really shows them in a new light as people who were consumed by grief for a dead sister they don't feel like they didn't show enough appreciation for in life.

I really hope they don't go ahead and backpedal them to being villains again.

Roth

It wouldn't be backpedaling to show them as villains because they haven't stopped being villains (yet).

Well, if you want to be technical, I think it would be lame if they don't follow through with what the previews seem to be suggesting.

Mostly because I want episodes of the Diamonds interacting with Greg and the townies.
