“Im thirty now yaaaaaaay.”

hey, this is alex, who had a blog known as bcdwclves, before tumblr decided it had to revoke my roleplaying rights and nuke my blog from orbit with extreme prejudice. so long story short, my account got terminated without any warning. no warning email, no notification, nothing. just forcibly logged me out and when i went to go log back in, i got got greeted with a screen saying that my account was terminated. there went a blog with near 400 followers and about, like, 2 years worth of memories down the drain.

i’d really appreciate the help in spreading this post around, to see if any former followers of my “old” account would follow back to know where i am now, because, let me tell you, this sum’ fuckin’ bullshit. 

I miss the day back when we all got confused and scared whenever crewniverse released new episode title💚💙⚾✨

i am BEYOND excited to reveal my full sticker sheet for the @iamapearlzine!!!! these were so fun to make and i got so many great ideas from the unbearably talented team, and i love how they turned out!!!

So it’s been a great episode but the one thing that’s been bothering me since the episode came out is the bit before the two Stevens fused.

This part.

Why was he able to do that? What’s so special about pink?

And then I remembered a fun fact about colors.

Gems are physical manifestations of light. White Diamond’s speech over the impurities in Yellow and Blue put it very simply: colored objects absorb all other colors but themselves. White considers herself perfect because white objects reflect all colors without absorbing any. White light is essentially all colors. (probably why she control other gems after eye beaming them. She does describe it as “her light” sparkling through them)

But let’s get back to the first question again: what’s so special about pink? Specifically pink light?

It doesn’t actually exist on the spectrum of visible light:

Pink (Magenta in particular) is an extra-spectral color. When you see a mix of blue and red light but no green, your brain just makes up a new color.

Pink Steven couldn’t be controlled by White Diamond because he literally exists outside of her domain of visible light.

Which also probably explains why White got so confused when she started turning Magenta too.
