Day in Fandom History: March 10…

When one of the members of the Ruby Squad, Navy, falls from Space and crash land on Earth, Steven decides to make some room by sending her to the barn with Lapis and Peridot but Lapis senses something is off about all of this with her new barn-mate. “Room for Ruby” premiered on this day, 8 Years Ago.

Okay, here's something from Steven Universe that I always wondered about...

At the end of the episode "Room For Ruby", Garnet shows up with two balloons that she brought along. Due to the outcome of the episode, she holds up the one that says "Sorry for your loss," but the other balloon says, "Welcome to the party!"

This implies that there was a chance that Navy would've joined the Crystal Gems for real, and I wonder what that would've been like.

What would've convinced Navy not to betray them?

What would the new group dynamic be like?

What would Navy's role be?

I feel like Navy could've used her deceptively sweet manner of speaking to the Crystal Gems' advantage in some situations

Do you guys know of any fanfics where Navy becomes a Crystal Gem? I'm sure there has to be at least one, but I've never really taken a close look at the SU fanfic scene

Do Dragon Weiss and Yang have a thing for each other?

Their shipping name could be "Double Dragons"

sounds great! they definitely have fun bickering and testing out new potions and stuff that eventually leads to way too many fires and explosions

Jon M. Chu debuted the first trailer for WICKED FOR GOOD to the room of advertisers and press in Radio City Music Hall.

The trailer, which has not yet been released to the public, featured a first look at Erivo and Grande singing the anticipated song “For Good,” as well as a glimpse of the wedding of Grande’s Glinda and Jonathan Bailey’s Fiyero. Meanwhile, Erivo’s Elphaba is being hunted down, but that does not stop her from speaking her truth as she writes, “The Wizard Lies,” in a cloud. “There’s no going back,” Elphaba said in the trailer. The trailer sees the return of the main troupe — including Dorothy — walking down the yellow brick road to see the Wizard, who asks the group to get the broom from Elphaba. Dorothy’s iconic ruby slippers can be seen in the trailer but did not show a glimpse of the actor who will play the role originally played by Judy Garland in the 1939 film.

speaking of safe space, happy kind of late b-day, @lovecanbesostrange

can we talk about the brilliant execution of Dot and Bubble's big reveal!!!

i am still absolutely gobsmacked by what a well-written episode Dot and Bubble is. startling, disarming, confrontational, and tremendously impactful. and holy shit i really really want to talk about how excellent the 'twist' (which really should've been obvious in retrospect 😭 was done):

as a white person it took me about ten minutes to clock that Lindy's friend group were a nightmare Aryan Tupperware Party collective: all white, all blue-eyed, and even Gothic Paul was dressed in blues and whites, with no black at all. but you know how i responded to that? mentally i went 'oh i'm sure it's nothing!' and shoved it aside. and i think it is exactly that insidious tendency to ignore, normalise, and validate overt and covert racism that the episode does such a tremendous job of tackling! everything in the episode gives us the lore we need to understand Lindy and the people of Finetime are white supremacists. Lindy's disgusted face and immediate blocking of The Doctor versus the amount of time she spends with Ruby. Lindy's shock at the Doctor and Ruby occupying the same room implying segregation on the Homeworld. Lindy calling the Doctor and Ruby 'criminals' not for being in the Bubble, but for breaking segregation. Lindy using Ricky September, a white influencer, to calm herself down not just from the monsters, but from interacting with a Black person. the tradwife aesthetic of the Finetime residents making a comeback in real-life right-wing racist circles. ugh, there's so much and it was all right in our faces!! yet many of us who aren't POC had the privilege of going through the episode baffled and uncomfortable, without being able to put a finger on why until the final bit of the episode. doesn't that tell us how quickly and easily we've all taken to ignoring both micro and macroaggressions? that we needed talk of being 'contaminated', improper use of the word 'voodoo', and Lindy straight up telling the Doctor that face-to-face contact was unacceptable, to understand they're white supremacists? oh my God 😭😭 what a genius play, to make Lindy so detestable from the start. she's an arrogant, vain, self-absorbed, moronic, uncompromising, traitorous bitch...and by layering that abhorrent personality and then giving us the reveal of her white supremacy, there is no argument even the most wishy-washy of people could have re: their awful views. Lindy and her friends are revolting racists who are so wrapped up in their own echo-chamber 'bubble' that they would genuinely rather be devoured alive than challenge their own narrow, bigoted views. i'm still blown away by the power of Ncuti's final scene. the disbelief, the frustration, the sadness and the fury...and yet the Doctor still tries to save them against all odds. i think the most common response to this episode was 'The Doctor should have gone all Time Lord Victorious on them', and you're right - he should have! but doing that would've affirmed the beliefs of the real-life racists viewers. the Doctor responding not with violence or righteous vengeance is a very deliberate writing choice: we are supposed to come away feeling revolted that he needed to behave that way, to almost be supplicant to the white supremacists. because that is the real-life view of so many people who don't even view themselves as racist: Black people need to 'perform' to a higher standard, than white people just to be considered worthy of respect. the more i watch it, the more i'm convinced this is the best episode of the whole season, and one of the best Doctor Who episodes we've ever had. we were taken off-guard by having an episode overtly about racism set in the future rather than the past, because our tendency is to assume equality is a natural consequence of becoming technologically advanced. this clearly isn't the case, and Dot and Bubble is a masterclass in confronting racism head-on rather than dancing around it for the comfort of white viewers. just. aaargh!!!! absolutely amazing 🔥🔥🔥
