A Nerd With a Pencil

15 000 000. How much is this? I can’t even imagine this amount of people in one place. But we are. And this place starts with TOP OF DA MORNIN’

If we all could hold hands we could hug the Earth!

Thank you so much for what you are doing. You are not just playing games. With your thoughts, ideas, enthusiasm you inspire me, you make my day brighter. My life now is a mess and I can’t find my place anywhere. But every time I feel bad and in need for a helping hand, I know that you are there for me. Even if you don’t know who I am. And your positivity, honesty, thoughts you share with us can really cheer me up. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here. I was too shy to express my feelings for a long time. But now I just need to let the words out. I know it’s the right time. And I know that one day they will reach you. And so will my love, respect and support for you. And a couple of pictures :’) 

Your way is in front of you. And before the next step you can just turn around to see how much people support you, how much people can have your back if you need. 

And I hope you’ll see me there. As a voice from the crowd. As a friend.

*Yellow Diamond’s ship lands in the middle of Beach City*

Crystal Gems: *pull out their weapons* Everybody stay back!

Mayor Dewey: Let me through! This is a “take me to your leader” sitatuation isn’t this?

Pearl: Wha?

*Yellow Diamond walks out with her Pearl*

Yellow Diamond: Who is this foolish human?

Mayor Dewey: I am… ehem… I am William Dewey VII, and as the leader of this little piece of Earth, I am here to give you this. *he hands YD a bunch of papers*

Yellow Pearl: What is this?

Mayor Dewey: Parking tickets. For 30 offenses of double parking. I mean, c’mon, your ship is huge!

*Yellow Diamond makes the face* (you know the one)

Yellow Pearl: My Diamond, this human is insulting you? What shall we do?

Mayor Dewey: “My diamond?”, what are you, her slave? You can’t do that! This is America. You’re on American soil, you can’t just own slaves here!

Yellow Pearl: You can’t?

Mayor Dewey: Noooo! My great-great grandpappy didn’t single-handedly win the battle of Beach City just so a bunch of magic ladies could come waltzing to America and bring back slavery.

Yellow Pearl: Well, you heard the human. I’m out of here! *Yellow Pearl gets off the ship and flips YD off on her way down*

Yellow Pearl: Where can a gem have a vacation around here?

Mayor Dewey: Here, I’ll show you!

Mayor Dewey: And don’t forget about the tickets, big piss-colored lady!

*Yellow Pearl and Mayor Dewey walk away hand in hand*

Yellow Diamond: What the hell just happened?!

Here are some bootyful backgrounds I made for your phone

rest stops on highways

trails by the highway just out of earshot of traffic

schools during breaks

those little beaches right next to ferry docks

your friends living room once everybody but you is asleep

A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.

The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease.
