Aww, Tumblr, no.

So, the new episodes have been pretty interesting. Everyone on Homeworld, even the Pebbles, see Pink in Steven. It makes me wonder, how much of Steven is a unique being, and how much is Pink Diamond? Is he really a unique being, or basically a memory-wiped Pink Diamond? And just how wiped are those memories? Some have leaked through. Any thoughts on this?

In seasons four, five, and six of Buffy, it’s a situation where we have a group of “white” hats with a couple of gray thrown in. The gray hats in question are Spike and Anya. You’ll notice that I used quotation marks around white in white hats, but didn’t do the same with gray. That’s because the Scoobies aren’t white hats at all, no matter what they think. The Scoobies have engaged in a lot of pretty murky activities (especially Willow), but since they think of themselves as white hats, they just sort of shrug it aside. They do the same with Spike. Despite him becoming a gray hat, they continue to think of him as a black hat, and any good deed he does is ignored. Triangle is a good example of both of these things. Because of Willow (I personally do not blame Anya. She was trying to stop Willow from stealing supplies and messing with stuff she doesn’t really understand) the troll was released. He caused massive amounts of property damage along with maiming many people and likely killing others. Willow is indirectly responsible for the maiming and/or death of several people, but she’s never really called to task for it. Spike is seen saving lives and is considered vile for wanting a little bit of recognition for it.
