Hi, I'm Hez.
Before you hit that follow button I suggest you read my "About Me" page. Seriously, I'll wait. Finished? Still here? OK then. Welcome to my blog!
Oh, and feel free to check out my OUaT blogs, listed below!
So, the new episodes have been pretty interesting. Everyone on Homeworld, even the Pebbles, see Pink in Steven. It makes me wonder, how much of Steven is a unique being, and how much is Pink Diamond? Is he really a unique being, or basically a memory-wiped Pink Diamond? And just how wiped are those memories? Some have leaked through. Any thoughts on this?
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Come and share them at Hidden Gems!
Luke and I have had our ups and downs over the years, but through it all, his relationship with my daughter, Rory, has never changed. He’s always been there for her no matter what. He was there to celebrate her birthdays. He was there cheering her on at her high school graduation. Luke has been a sort of father figure in my daughter’s life.
i really love leverage because the concept has the potential to be super dark and gritty and angsty and morally ambiguous–you’ve got the grieving father of a child who died of cancer, you’ve got legal injustice versus illegal justice, you’ve got characters with severe emotional issues, dark pasts, and substance abuse problems–but instead it’s this sweet, lighthearted, seriously funny show about a found family of master criminals that does things like film a whole episode in the style of the office or name characters’ aliases after sci-fi actors. it still has enough solemn moments to respect the darkness of the characters and the issues that the show handles, but it never falls into that darkness so hard or for so long that the fundamental tone of the series is lost. i really, really love leverage.

“Get out of my house. You have a problem with Veronica, you leave. Actually, you have a problem with Veronica, you’re pretty much death to me, so just like, evaporate or something, I dunno. That’s kind of a general invitation. If you don’t like my girlfriend, then just start heading toward the rectangle with the knob.”
In seasons four, five, and six of Buffy, it’s a situation where we have a group of “white” hats with a couple of gray thrown in. The gray hats in question are Spike and Anya. You’ll notice that I used quotation marks around white in white hats, but didn’t do the same with gray. That’s because the Scoobies aren’t white hats at all, no matter what they think.
The Scoobies have engaged in a lot of pretty murky activities (especially Willow), but since they think of themselves as white hats, they just sort of shrug it aside. They do the same with Spike. Despite him becoming a gray hat, they continue to think of him as a black hat, and any good deed he does is ignored. Triangle is a good example of both of these things. Because of Willow (I personally do not blame Anya. She was trying to stop Willow from stealing supplies and messing with stuff she doesn’t really understand) the troll was released. He caused massive amounts of property damage along with maiming many people and likely killing others. Willow is indirectly responsible for the maiming and/or death of several people, but she’s never really called to task for it. Spike is seen saving lives and is considered vile for wanting a little bit of recognition for it.

Steven has now gone to Homeworld to try to convince the diamonds to help him heal the corrupted gems. But even if the corrupted gems are healed, a big consequence of gem war remains - the Cluster. So the question is, what should be done with it? It’s currently buried inside Earth’s mantle, and removing it would probably destroy the planet, or at the very least result in some extreme tectonic activity. But leaving it as is feels wrong - the gems forming the Cluster were broken and forced together and while Steven has helped them find some measure of peace, it’s hardly a permanent solution. We’ve seen how painful and horrible the forced artificial fusion of gem shards are. So what can Steven and the Crystal Gems do for the Cluster? Could it be extracted little by little? Can gem shards be healed and reassembled? Would they even want to be?
