places dark and places strange

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

These weren’t even the biggest sacrifices. CN basically gave her an ultimatum and canceled the show for it. She knew this would likely happen and that’s why season 5 is paced so fast. She could have had 2 more seasons but that wouldn’t be worth it without ruby and sapphire

god damn. turns out the real gem war was the one rebecca sugar was fighting.

Also Europe is more wet in the air

Obligatory truck I don’t trust reblog

one horse here is really hogging the brain cell

REVEAL YOURSELF

the way the person in the back fake kicked at the gray horse took me OUT

Sure, those are all horses. Don't worry about it.

SOUND ON SOUND ON SOUND ON

Description: A can of la croix is sitting on a desk, a cockatiel stands up from behind the can, showing its head, and say "Peekaboo!" the person holding the camera laughs and the bird hides behind the can again, then pops up and says "Peekaboo!" the person continues laughing and says "Peekaboo!" too as the bird continues ducking up and down - when the bird pops up near the end of the video it makes an ascending whistle (like a slide whistle) when rising up, then a descending whistle when it ducks down, and an ascending whistle again while the person laughs harder.

Eternal respect to the bitch on the right dressed as a cavewoman

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.

I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet they’ve all put something toward the creation of it.

ITS BACK ON MY TIMELINE

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles

We really need more women in business attire going beast mode
