EVERYONE LOVES SPIDEY

DON’T FUCK WITH SPIDEY YOU FUCK WITH SPIDEY YOU GOT ALL OF NEW YORK ON YOUR ASS

HE’S HELPIN LITTLE OLD LADY CROSS THE STREET AND GETTING CATS OUT OF TREES FOR KIDS AND HELPING GIVE THAT TOURIST DIRECTIONS TO THE BEST HOTDOG STAND AND MAKING LITTLE KIDS SMILE AT THEIR BDAY PARTIES

HE’S PURENESS INCARNATE DON’T FUCK WITH HIM

tbh one of my favorite comics with Spidey is one where Peter gets fed up with superheroing and hiding his identity because of all the negative reviews the Daily Bugle posts about him. so he goes to Jonah and says that he’ll reveal himself the next day in front of the whole public, in return for an honest interview where Spidey reveals his side of the story, the True Story of Spider-Man

so Jonah, being Jonah, publishes this in the paper. “TOMORROW WE REVEAL WHO THE WALL-CRAWLING MENACE REALLY IS!”

and when Peter shows up at the meeting place where he promised to reveal himself….

… he’s not alone.

when Peter shows up, he 100% intended to reveal himself. but then a bunch of civilians, also dressed as Spidey, show up. So many that, when Peter DOES reveal himself, Jonah doesn’t believe it and thinks he’s joking. No one can tell who the real Spider-Man is.

Spidey was gonna reveal his identity and all of New York decided, of their own accord, to protect him the way he’s always protecting them

it’s just one of my fave issues because it just…. shows without any uncertainty just how much New York loves their Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

So to whoever it may concern, I’m deleting this blog! And all blogs, lol. If you want to keep up w/ me you can find me on discord @ Promblematique Angle#7174 or my art insta which is kind of on hiatus but it’s aureyarts.

She basically exposed Rose for not actually caring about other gems and her basically wanting to protect her vacation home. She played a crucial role in casting doubt on Rose, and Steven almost coming to the conclusion of you dont have to like or support what your parents do and you make you own destiny.

Pearl and Amethyst swapped personalities.

Think about it, it makes SO MUCH SENSE. Pearl would be reckless and rebellious and sloppy. Everything that a Pearl is not supposed to be. That’s her thing, she’s the renegade Pearl, she’s supposed to be the antithesis of what a Pearl should be. So she just does whatever she wants. She makes a mess because Pearls are meant to be neat, she doesn’t do as she’s told because she spent all her time on Homeworld doing exactly that. She’s headstrong because Pearls aren’t meant to be like that.

Meanwhile Amethyst is obsessed with perfection. Everything has to be perfect because she wasn’t. She came out ‘wrong’, and so she’s obsessed with making sure that everything else around her is perfect. She doesn’t want to eat (or maybe she’s just reluctant) because that’s a human thing and she wants to be a perfect gem. She has a very precise and thought out battle style because it has to be perfect. She was in love with Rose because Rose was a perfect quartz. Rose was everything that Amethyst wanted to be, and never can be.

@salty-sapphire i really, really liked your ideas so i felt like making my own designs for this personality swap AU! (i haven’t done digital art in ages and i kinda did this in a rush tho, hope you don’t mind that djkfhkgjh)

w/ Pearl i incorporated part of her Pilot counterpart’s design (her hair and earring) bc i felt that would fit her. i tried my best to give her a more brash, rebellious (pastel punk?) look w/ her outfit.

What I noticed about the Crystal Gems is how quickly they result to fighting (and it usually takes Steven’s persistent protesting for them to reconsider that method.) Sometimes this has even put Steven in jeopardy. 

But when we’re introduced to Jasper, the first thing she does is make a judgment on the opponents Peridot insisted that she takes out. She deemed them unworthy of her response, and thinks that if Peridot found them to be such a threat, to pretty much handle it herself (via blasting them with the ship.) 

Of course, once she sees Steven use the shield of the rebellion leader Rose Quartz, she recognizes them as a threat and then decided to act. 

The thing about it though is that many people act as if Jasper is a ruthless brute that would destroy everyone and everything. Is she violent? Most definitely, when she feels that the situation calls for it. Even then though, her intent wasn’t to kill anyone, but to subdue them and take them prisoner for what Homeworld would deem to be crimes. 

With Malachite, perhaps at that point her intentions were different (though she could have ‘poofed’ them, not shattered them.) But it took a bit for her to reach that point - clearly, since we know of her disdain towards fusion.

Jasper’s an ass (from what we’ve seen in the 2 episodes that featured her), but not one to kill (or attack, really) senselessly. Our first scene with her showed her analyzing the situation (with limited information - due to Lapis, who was supposed to be an informant) and concluding that it’s unnecessary for her (a soldier) to fight them herself. 

I don’t think she’s any worse than Peridot or Lapis, who have used more lethal methods toward the Crystal Gems and Steven. Being larger doesn’t automatically make you a savage, and being smaller doesn’t automatically make you a delicate flower.
