we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice

No, no actually, I kind of do want that fuckass dome destroyed. If it's taken as islamophobic then so be it and obviously I don't actually want it to happen because it would lead to catastrophic conflict but y'all NEED to understand it's significance to islam is literally symbolism of (((victory))) over the jews. Why do you think it was built on top of the temple ruins in the first place. And literally it wasn't even that significant, the roof used to be made of cheap lead before it was painted gold ever so coincidentally in 1959, about ten years after israel was established. All of a sudden it's now one of the most important everrr sites in islam, which you see is why they have so much connection and claim to the land since forever and why they're the true indigenous people, and it's also why those jews simply just can't visit the ruins of their single holiest site, it'd be oh-so disrespectful to the poor muslims to have filthy yahud within range of their great arts and crafts project.
