What if we held hands in the dashcon 2 ball pit

Do ya think Marissa Meyer knew what she was doing when the first time Nova and her sister interact after being separated, it's where one of them breaks the bracelet that's directly tied to Nova's care for her family to keep it, care for Evie? And from here on after breaking the bracelet, their relationship is contentious and different than before

[mikodrawnnarratives]

Anyone else feel like there's. Just slightly different etiquette or more etiquette in small fandoms...?

[mikodrawnnarratives]

Oh, to be loved the way Adrian loves Nova…

What 3% means in Bobby's industry

So I'm (understandably) seeing people say that Bobby is being paid not nearly enough for his work helping the girls out, and while I do agree, I wanna clarify that dude is by no means underpaid.

Using BLACKPINK as an example here, BLACKPINK earned roughly 4.6 million USD per concert on average for their Born Pink world tour, which is about 6.1 billion won per concert. Now, I can't entirely trust Reddit, TikTok or Gemini with these numbers, but I'm seeing enough consistency in the sources to believe it's as legit as we can get without their agency addressing it (and why would they tbh haha).

As someone else pointed out on Tumblr, HUNTR/X is on that level of famous, so I won't doubt that those numbers could be higher, but what I will say that at least with this per concert average, Bobby earns 3% of that number.

Cost of living in Seoul specifically is about 2.5-3.5 million Won per month, including rent in a moderate-sized studio apartment. With entertainment costs, that number goes up to about 3.5-4.5 million Won. (Here's where I got those figures if you wanna see for yourself, it also has extra links for sources.)

Now, salary in SK varies, but minimum wage is about 80K-ish Won per day (1.6 million Won per month if I got my numbers right? Not counting overtime salary btw). Median wage in Seoul is about 4.3 million Won per month, and it depends on how old you are. Bobby I imagine is in his early-to-mid-30s so median wage for that age range (yes this is kept track of in SK) is about 3.6-4.0 million Won per month.

Now, back to what 3% means for a super-famous band like BLACKPINK and in conjunction, HUNTR/X.

HUNTR/X is consistently more famous than BLACKPINK in this universe, so these numbers might be higher, who knows. So BLACKPINK earned about 6.1 billion Won on average per concert during Born Pink's world tour. 3% of 6.1 billion per concert is 183.8 million Won.

Per concert.

Not including income from CDs or things outside of concerts. Bobby is absolutely STACKED.

So him muttering about his 3% commission salary isn't in a "I'm not getting paid enough for this ':/" way, but rather in an "oh god they're counting on me and they pay me really well for it, I gotta live up to their expectations and handle this in a way that keeps them safe ':[" way! And remember, the girls were more than happy to offer him their booked staycation in that Korean resort-- they clearly hold him very highly and respect him, and care for him! Sure, he doesn't know about the demon hunting thing and their relationship might not be more than their manager-band relationship, but they do care and trust him a lot! 3% sounds tiny until you realize that HUNTR/X is about as famous as Beyonce or even Taylor Swift.

So yeah Bobby is doing more than well for himself, and that 3% really does mean a lot to him! Best manager, best dad, everybody say thank you Bobbyyyyy

(Also lemme know if my calcs are off haha, I tried to make the research quick (I say as it took upwards of an hour but eehhhh it's fine))

I’m curious—is there an in-universe reason why Bismuth’s gem is at the leg ship instead of Lion’s mane? Or is it a meta decision made so Bismuth can play a role in the story without Rose bringing her out herself?

Great question!

I was hoping someone would ask this, because I set it up this way SPECIFICALLY. And also because all I've seen for the past 6 years is assumptions that Bismuth will be where she was in the show - in Lion's mane.

But here's my question to you all:

Why would Bismuth be in Lion's mane if Canon!Steven doesn't exist?

Let's rewind the clock and go back into the universe where this all started -

In the episode Lion 3 - Straight to Video, Steven enters Lion's mane for the first time. There, he finds a mysterious pocket dimension filled with what appears to be Rose's stuff. The flag, the sword, a t-shirt, Bismuth, yes........ but what ELSE?

The tape.

The tape specifically labeled to and made FOR Steven. Steven's tape. Yes, that tape.

IF Rose left the tape here, we can reasonably assume she hoped Steven would one day find it. Along with the OTHER items she left there, including some things that were important to her and Greg.

And including......Bismuth.

Bismuth, who is NOT in the locked chest. Bismuth, who is just hanging out by the tree. Not that far from reach. Very much in plain view.

So, we can safely assume from this that Rose LEFT Bismuth in Lion's mane for Steven to find. She knew she could never reconcile with Bismuth. She hoped Steven would be able to, instead.

Now - WHY is this important?

Because in this AU, Rose has not prepared Lion to be an inheritance box for Steven. Undoubtedly she keeps stuff in his mane - but why would she keep Bismuth in there?

Canon Steven, once he discovers it, uses Lion's mane as a personal storage locker. I have all my tokens on the bet that Rose was the same. She was diving in and out of that thing enough to make Lion annoyed, probably.

But ask yourself this - if you were Rose Quartz*

* The same Rose Quartz who has a built-in-trauma response of running away like a gazelle, who solved nearly every problem she had by hiding it or hiding FROM it, putting it up on the 'we're not thinking about that' shelf, chanting to herself "I do not see it"

If you were THAT Rose Quartz...

Would you REALLY be keeping Bismuth's bubble in the SAME space as your favorite knick-knacks?

Would you want to be seeing that bubble EVERY TIME you reached into your Lion for a pizza?

And look, yeah, I know she's a masochist who revisited her shattered and corrupted friends' bubbles frequently and pondered over how things could have gone differently, so there is an element of "I will purposefully subject myself to Guilty Self-Flagellation" but come on

Wouldn't you rather put Bismuth's bubble somewhere FURTHER AWAY for safekeeping - in a place that you can safely visit ALONE (or maybe never go back to at all), without ever fearing that someone ELSE could potentially discover it? In a place where you KNOW the Crystal Gems will never venture?

I think I've made my point But Wait

There's More

My other point is - Bismuth has been bubbled for like 5000 years, ever since her fallout with Rose, right before Pink's shattering.

And Lion? How long has he been around?

Well, there's less information, but if we presume that THIS lion Pride contained the future Pink Lion...

and indeed it DOES because the Lion that licks Buddy awake has a heart shaped nose

...we can safely guess that Lion was ONLY turned Pink MUCH later. Buddy's Book takes place circa 1837 - 1841, which sets us back about 100-150 years, give or take - that's approximately how old Lion is.

So where was Bismuth's bubble for the 4850 years BEFORE Lion existed?

Again - my answer would be "Somewhere Very Remote, where the other Crystal Gems would not think to go back to".

Hence.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

"I love toxic Yuri!!"

Shut up y'all couldn't even handle them

soooo do you all remember when I made my post about my theory on the epilogue?? I feel the need to add on that hiding the true identity of nova is very much something I can see Hugh and/or Simon doing not only to protect Nova but themselves.
