hello darkness, my old friend

not unless it's Uncle Scary's.

Insane how supernatural is 15 seasons long and everything is under explored. What were they doing for 15 years?

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

PEOPLE NEED TO GET MORE ANTI PSEUDOSCIENCE.

one person's "ugghh this trope is so overdone" is another person's "oooooohohohohohohohoho"

don’t care + didn’t ask + blood of akasha in me

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

can't believe the only options are 30 minutes early or 10 minutes late. if only there were some other way. but what can you do

i feel like a lot of people see it as a flaw in storytelling when an actor's personality bleeds into or eclipses the typical characterization of their character but personally i think one of the funniest things abt taako adventurezone is that he is sometimes temporarily possessed by a deeply socially anxious nearing middle aged suburban father . its a core component of the character that i feel cannot be ignored

hi everybody if there is a food or medicine recall and it is only an issue in the USA can we please make sure that this is mentioned somewhere in the post so that people don't have to hunt through articles and comments and ask follow up questions to make sure we don't have to freak ourselves or our friends/family out about the food we eat or the meds we take. peace and love! and sorry about the recalls!

Also for invasive animals. Believe it or not, animals that are invasive in the US had to come from another part of the world where they're part of the ecosystem. Pretty sick of seeing posts saying "this animal is invasive and you need to kill every one you see." People live all around the world, and I do not trust all of them to look into *where* a species is invasive exactly when given an excuse to kill things "for the greater good."
