Okay So I Don’t Have Enough Brain Cells Or Expertise To Fully Get Into This, But Like…. The Spop

Okay so I don’t have enough brain cells or expertise to fully get into this, but like…. the spop commentary on indigenous people VS colonizers + commentary on environmental protection was really cool

There was SO much Christian missionary rhetoric from Horde Prime and his super violent, mindlessly devoted, all male disciples– using phrases like “eternal light,” “made in his image,” “I know all….. I see all…..” etc. The brothers never questioned HP (except for Wrong Hordak ofc) and allowed him to use their bodies for surveillance purposes. The worlds HP destroyed were “primitive” in his eyes and he stole their treasures so that he could put them on display as trophies. His goal was to expand his empire and conquer as many cultures as he could by using brainwashing techniques, infecting their ecosystems, and snuffing out any sort of rebellion/heresy

The native people of Etheria had magic/witchcraft and showed a great appreciation for all living creatures. There was a loving relationship between the people and their environment, which literally kept them safe and strong. And the whole time, the Etherians were shown to be the heroes who were doing the right thing!!! HP was never “ambiguously” evil or given any sort of backstory to make the audience feel empathy for him. Nothing was morally grey about HP or his disgusting imperialism and environmental poisoning

Say what you will about Japan Sinks: 2020 but telling us KITE was trans at the end was one hell of a power move.

Here’s a few quick writing tips:

If two characters are meant to say platonic friends and not a couple, DON’T CONTINUOUSLY HINT AT THEM GETTING TOGETHER.

When they decide to stay friends, DON’T WRITE OFF THEIR PREVIOUS FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER AS THE RESULT OF SOME SORT OF MAGIC OUTSIDE FORCE.

If the characters end up in a relationship with other people, DON’T MAKE THOSE CHARACTERS FAR LESS INTERESTING THAN THE TWO FRIENDS.

Day 1 - First OC

I don't remember what my first OC was, so I made my oldest ones and gave them a questionable fashion sense

OKAY SO. MEGAPEARL

she is an iconic, unexpected fusion. but as soon as i saw her on screen, i immediately recognized her design. the hair? the outfit? very clearly referenced from:

REVOLUTIONARY GIRL UTENA!! megapearl’s hair is obviously from anthy (right) and her outfit is obviously from utena (left). but as you may know, rebecca sugar has referenced RGU in steven universe several times!!! RGU has a lot of meaning to me so this is especially exciting for me to see!! it even helped me to realize how similar our pearl and pink/white’s pearl are!

our pearl is like utena. she fought because she believed it was what she had to do to reach her destiny. yet her “destiny” caused her so much hurt and she failed to realize it until much later, after things had gone sour.

pink/white’s pearl is like anthy. she was repeatedly used by others for their own gain, and simultaneously idolized these people because not doing so would result in abuse. she then adopted this mindset of idolization because it was all she knew how to do, and didn’t realize how badly it was hurting her.

ANYWAYYYS that’s my rant on SU and RGU. not sure if anyone else put two and two together but it made me extremely happy to see this!!
