THIS FANFIC BY @ohmaerieme IS SOO GOOD I HAD TO DRAW IT !!!

[pansy-picnics]

Do you guys ever think about how greg never “othered” steven. like in the beginning i mean. in three gems and a baby we see that as worried as greg is about the gem part, he never ultimately sees steven as anything more than just,,, a normal human kid. Like it truly feels like greg wanted to just give steven a normal human life,,, or at least as normal as possible

Do you ever think about how the gems avoided greg as often as they could. How judgemental they are towards him in the beginning. How they genuinely think they’re better caregivers for steven to the point that theyre willing to take him forcefully themselves. And yeah obviously that was a one time thing and they regret it now but like,,, yk how they clearly cling onto steven Because of their grief for rose, and their desire to keep that part of her as close as possible? Doesn’t it feel like greg, in the earlier seasons, is kind of more like a friend to steven than a father? it almost feels like at a certain point he started to. Agree that steven was better off with the gems?

we can see that they started building the beach house when steven was Very little- like its hard to say exactly how old but he’s like. still missing baby teeth. And like yeah obviously steven should get to grow up in a house and not a van but why would greg want the house specifically built at the temple and be okay with just. Not being included in the accommodation? Greg is essentially just accepting giving steven up to the gems when hes still so young and. Why would he do that unless…He specifically feels like he isn’t fit to care for steven to begin with…? I mean like,, when he even Tries to actually parent steven after this point the gems literally stare at him like HE’S the alien in the house. Like for a solid 3 seconds

Essentially. Specifically in the early seasons we can TELL the gems think very lowly of greg. its made explicitly clear that they dont respect his judgement or his decisions regarding steven let alone. Anything really. Hell pearl fucking tries to take him to SPACE after greg explicitly tells her Not to do that. I think they get a lot better as the show goes on but like in s1 especially it is very clear the gems just do Not gaf about Anything greg says 😭😭

And obviously pearl is the most vocal about this…Garnet its hard to say since she isn’t very vocal abt Anything but she definitely feels similarly to pearl. amethyst is p chill with greg but she also doesn’t really Object to the gems’ treatment of him. They all deep down truly believe that they are better suited to care for steven than greg is— they literally say this outright in three gems and a baby and pearl says “He’ll thank us later” after they literally KIDNAP HIM. and obviously they dont. kidnap him again. and they realize that they cant raise a human baby. Obviously. But this doesn’t prevent them from clearly “othering” steven— insisting that he’s a Gem and he’s Different from other kids. (Also they still do a LOT of other fucked up shit like. AGAIN. pearl literally taking him to space despite greg NOT consenting to that WHATSOEVER is essentially the same thing as kidnapping him LMFAOOOO)

And like they do also eventually realize how important of a figure greg is in steven’s life….especially in the later seasons, and that’s when we really start to see greg be more of a Parent to steven i feel. It’s honestly why i think they kind of instilled this blatant “othering” of steven onto greg— because not only is he clearly willing to give steven up to them, but later in “mr. universe”…. greg pretty much implies exactly the same thing the gems did. That steven is Different. that he Can’t be raised like a normal kid.

Im not saying he wasn’t worried about stevens gem half before ofc, I’m sure he’d still be hesitant to take his fucking half rock alien son to the doctor or to enroll him in school but like— i truly do think greg wanted steven to have a normal life!!! and i feel like the gems kind of poured salt in the wound when it came to these preexisting insecurities, and because these are Rose’s Friends, they’re Steven’s family too and like,,, greg is completely clueless when it comes to the gem stuff!!! He doesn’t know what to do with ANY of that, but garnet, pearl, and amethyst Do— so rlly who is he to object???

Obviously i dont think either party is a Saint or the Devil in this situation or anything but hopefully I dont have to say that because this show is well known for incredibly nuanced characters so i Hope people understand what im saying here— basically i think the gems, in their grief, genuinely instilled this belief in greg that he just Wasn’t suited to care for steven. That steven was Different. that They were the only ones who knew what was best for him. And so greg truly felt like giving steven up to them was what was Best for him

And I don’t think either situation, whether living with greg or the gems, would’ve necessarily been “better” or “worse” for steven— i think his whole magical destiny is inevitable or else like the earth is gonna get hollowed out by the fucking cluster, and both living situations had their pros and cons. But like. Man the fact that the gems probably Genuinely made greg feel like he wasn’t good enough to be a parent to his own kid makes me want to scream and throw up and punch the walls sometimes

since we're all talking about SU again, i want to say my perspective of pearlrose neither condemns their relationship as toxic or upholds it as ideal. i think that stance is surprisingly uncommon. theyre a comfy mix between Meant for Each Other, and Coercive Doomed Incommunicative Mess, and the middle ground ive settled on is that despite powerful mutual love, they never fully understood each other nor could they provide what the other really Needed in a comitted relationship. i LOVE them together. not just becuz theyre sweet and cute and sexy but becuz, like most of SU's relationships, theres a huge well of depth to dip into. much of it is sad. the tragedy of pearlrose isn't that Rose didnt love Pearl (bonkers take) or Greg showed up and ruined everything (double bonkers) or Pearl had to move on from her evil abusive ex (triple bonkers), but that neither of them could wade that swamp of trauma and shared history and feelings to SEE the other clearly and accept her. THATS sad. not your weird half-baked surface level heteronormative take which boils Rose to down to a caricature and Pearl to a victim.

Rose is a really sad character. PD was a deeply empathetic individual in a society which criminalized empathy, stamped down compassion, and rewarded and fostered exploitation and dehumanization of those hierarchically beneath you. i am totally willing and happy to hash out all her sins (gag order, abandoning spinel, bubbling bismuth, lying..) but not until we aknowledge the humility and good character revealed in establishing the rebellion itself, emancipating pearl, and so on... homegirl never even knew what mutual respect was LIKE before greg becuz in rebecca sugars own words, he was the ONLY one who demanded to be treated like a real person. i think she said "everyone else had either been above or below her."

Rose was set up for moral failure! she didnt stand a chance (and neither did pearl😬) but she made the boldest, most humbling, most *dangerous* move of playing both sides then at last ceding power and we need to give her credit. the biggest failure of the movie was hammering into the audience's head how awful she was. she was so complicated. she was so sad. she hated herself. she loved everyone. she tried so hard. she LOVED pearl. you werent always good Rose Quartz but they could never make me hate you

𝑻𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒕 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝑷𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒂 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒆 ✨

What specific aspects of your authentic self-expression have you been neglecting?

1 2 3

Pile 1: Earrings (Seven of Pentacles, Eight of Wands, & The High Priestess).

How to Heal:

There is a need for deeper reflection and acknowledgment of your skills at this time. You should make time to celebrate your achievements, no matter how big or small. You might be holding back in some way, struggling to express your innermost thoughts and desires, possibly due to a fear of judgment. But there is a disconnect from your intuition and inner voice, which could stem from self-doubt or external influences. It’s important that you reconnect with your intuition and trust your instincts and feelings. Additionally, identify what is causing these delays. This could involve addressing any fears or external pressures that are preventing you from accessing your true self. Authenticity is the highest frequency; while it attracts, it can also repel. However, by embracing this energy, you will naturally draw in what is meant for you. Although it may feel intimidating at first, fully embracing your authentic self-expression can be incredibly liberating. 🦋

Pile 2: Necklace (Five of Cups, The Fool, & Two of Cups).

How to Heal:

You may be overlooking the positive aspects of your life and the opportunities for growth and connection around you. It’s easy to focus on previous disappointments, which creates barriers preventing you from fully embracing your authentic self. Additionally, you might be neglecting the playful and carefree aspects of your self-expression, causing you to remain stuck in unhealthy cycles. When you focus solely on the negative, it can stifle your creativity and joy, making it harder to explore the lighter, more adventurous sides of your personality. I encourage you to take risks and embrace spontaneity. Step into the unknown and take a leap of faith. A fear of trust might also lead you to withdraw from relationships, so seek out a supportive community that helps you feel valued. Remember to find spaces where you are genuinely appreciated and loved, rather than merely tolerated. ♥︎

Pile 3: Ring (Ten of Swords, Five of Cups, & The Hermit).

How to Heal:

You are in the process of healing and recovering from past trauma. This may involve coping with a betrayal or painful experiences that have left you feeling defeated and isolated. These experiences could have created barriers between you and your authentic self, as you might be focusing on the pain rather than on your healing and renewal. As a result, you may be neglecting aspects of your self-expression, fixating on past hurts or regrets, which can hinder your ability to move forward and embrace your true healed self. While it's natural to seek solitude to process your trauma, excessive isolation can also contribute to this disconnect. It's important to find a balance between introspection and engaging with the world around you. The darkness is where you learn, but the light is where you share those lessons. 💡

Steven Universe Quotes as Placements!

Part One!

______________________________________________________________

" If you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too" - SU

~Virgo South Nodes. They have a tendency to try to change or control who others ppl are becuz that's the same thing they do to themselves. This is a quote they should remind themselves of in order to be one with their NN.

"You know what's nice about being split up? I get to look at you"- Ruby

~12H Synastry. When separation occurs in this synastry (esp the Venus person) you find yourself admiring your person and the relationship you two have.

"If every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs!"- Greg

~A reminder for 11H/Aqua personal plmts & Chiron. It's a blessing to be different

"Do you ever get lonely even when you're around people?"- Lars

~This happens with 11H/Aqua Chiron often.

"I had to use you to make me feel strong, but I don't care about that now. I see a tower built out of my mistakes and it all comes crashing down. is there something I can do? Can I make it up to you?" -Amethyst

Planet person in 12H synastry. I discuss this fully in the 8th chapter of my book "Written In the Cosmos" (available for purchase, dm me). This occurs when the planet person is using/manipulating the 12H person becuz they know they have the upper hand, and the house person is more vulnerable here. In a good instance, the planet person catches themselves and tries to do the best they can to be better and stay that way after they realize all the wrong they've done.

"You are not two people, and you are not one person. You are an experience! Make sure you're a good experience!"-Garnet

~Sag Sun & Venus in Composite Chart

"For a fusion to work, there needs to be balance. An imbalance can cause your fusion to lose touch with reality, see things that aren't there and eventually fall apart." -Garnet

~This is thoroughly discussed in Chapter 9 of my book Written in the Cosmos. This is the result of 12H synastry when assumptions start happening. Which is why all cards must be on the table at all times from both people. Becuz you will start to see things that aren't there becuz you chose not to speak up.

"I can't have a flaw; I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect, then who am I?" -White Diamond

~10H Virgo SN-seeming perfect and having the image of having it all together will be the death of us. Life doesn't revolve around perfection

"True strength comes from accepting and embracing your flaws" -SU

~A reminder for the Pisces NN
