Alright alright alright

You’ve all been asking for it, so here it is!

This will be (edit: HELLA) long and obviously spoiler-y, so everything is under a cut.

Are you ready?

Before we get to it, I want to mention that for the sake of keeping things organized, I will NOT be talking about my AU (@ask-whitepearl-and-steven) in this post. I want to just analyze the show as a viewer and a fan first. I’ll make a seperate post for AU-thoughts a bit later.

Without further ado:

EP 1: LITTLE HOMESCHOOL

This is a great way to open up the episode and show the changes through the lens of someone who has been a bit out of it for a while (we are all Cherry Quartz, fresh from the hiatus, aren’t we?) but I’m sorry, this post still takes the cake:

Okay, okay, back to the program.

“That used to be a loaded question...“

Right off the bat, Steven is SO much more confident about saying that he’s... HIMSELF! What a good feeling. I’m very proud of our boy.

I love the name “Gemglyph” for the gem language! I’ll need to know who wrote these, though. And who the heck drew the diamonds? Hopefully it was BP.

And I’m not the first one to point this out, but MORE ANIME REFERENCES!

Which can be seen as either a reference to the Chill Low-Fi Hiphop Beats to Study To OR Whisper of the Heart.

And absolutely no one cares but something that caught my eye is the fact that they have an EARTH FLAG at Little Homeschool! How cool is that!

Earth 4ever!!!

Off-note - I love how INVESTED they are in this conversation Pearl is having with Holo-Pearl.

Peak entertainment.

I love Professor Amethyst and I love the random human who snuck in to apparently take lessons on Not Giving A Single Shit About Anything, Ever.

And here we FINALLY are in the FUTURE

Where we FINALLY get Jasper as a functioning character

And

She’s

SO DRAMATIC, I LOVE HER.

This is literally SO funny like she... she was just... laying on top of her house... under a blanket..... FOr WHAT? To stand up dramatically and throw it off when Steven inevitably paid a visit?

Is that just what she dOES?

“It’s FINE I don’t need any HELP, I’m FUNCTIONING, I’m just having a SELF CARE DAY OK”

Also I’m sorry but

Jasper: “It took forever to yank those puny green earthlings out of the ground.”

Steven: “You mean grass...?“

THIS. RIGHT HERE. is peak Jasper.

It’s also curious how INVESTED Steven is in this:

“I’m TRYING to give you [a purpose]!“

Why are you... trying to do that, though? Isn’t the whole idea for gems to surpass their ‘purpose’ and just kinda... do whatever? Isn’t Jasper just kinda... doing whatever?

I mean, sure, it’s not useful to anyone, but she seems relatively happy. Aside from. You know. The whole laying on rocks under blankets until she’s disturbed thing and-- okay, you’re right, maybe an intervention would be healthy.

I’m not gonna talk at length about the rest of the episode - although I think it’s really good, I don’t know what I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. Jasper is definitely poking Steven’s buttons and rephrasing a LOT of what WHITE has said to Pink: “You surround yourself with inferior gems because it makes you feel better.”

And Steven REACTS to this. The taunt WORKS.

And yes, he gains some extra powers for it, but something tells me this AIN’T the only thing he will get. It feels like a two-edged sword. Like it’ll be his own downfall somehow....... maybe at the end of the series.

Ashes to ashes.... hole to hole.

And oh wow I thought they were gonna bond but LMAO

“Consider your fight back there your first and ONLY lesson.“

Basically:

I love you Jasper.

EP 2: GUIDANCE

I LOVE YOU AMETHYST.

sHE’S doing SO much and she’s SO good at it!! Look at her!! Organizing stuff!!!!

RUBIES IN SUNGLASSES. IN SQUARE SUNGLASSES.

I need 20.

And I also need 20 of Larimar because holy shit that’s hilarious.

Larimar: “I want to hear the human screams forever.”

Steven: “Okay that’s kinda troubling.”

I love the reference to Monsters Inc here and I love the callback at the end of the episode when Larimar switches to Human Laughter to get her fill of that particular erm... need.

And honestly the ensuing chaos is equally predictable and entertaining.

I’m SO glad to know that Rubies are just... Like That and that actually Navy is not a deviation from the norm but rather a different flavor of the chaotic energy all Rubies naturally seem to possess.

Amethyst is also super relatable:

“Ah yes, the fool comes crawling back. Come to beg for forgiveness, have you?”

In fact, the episode’s WHOLe HUMOUR is just very much My Brand

“Sometimes you save all the people but the rollercoaster still crashes into the ocean...... and that’s okay.”

Including the Running Gag that is Onion. Who... does not appear to have aged. At all. And that’s okay.

EP 3: ROSE BUDS

Okay where do I even begin with this one. Um.

I have to openly admit that I spent the majority of this episode wheezing with laughter. Let’s start with the Zoomans:

Who are CLEARLY STILL SUPER SALTY AT GREG ABOUT REJECTING THEM??? Which is hilarious.

And also this paradise is fascinating in and of itself.

But the next scene is basically where I started losing my shit.

Okay, okay, alright so. Uh. I have... a few questions.

Like Why. WHY. Does she look. SO MUCH like Rose?

Clearly Rose Quartz differ in coloring and etc. But She literally looks. Like THE Rose. VERY explicitly.

So here’s several options here:

1) Pink made Rose Quartz way before any of the Rebellion happened and Pearl just basically pigeonholed her into THIS specific Rose Quartz appearance because she (???) had a crush? Or somehow saw this specific Rose, thought ‘hot, i can make my sympathetic Diamond wear this exact costume and that would be EXCELLENT fanservice for ME’

2) Pink didn’t have any Rose Quartz until the Rebellion, and thereafter quickly decided ‘I need these gems as an alibi, so we’re just gonna make them” and she and Pearl basically inclubated Rose Quartz like a pokemon trainer hatching for a Shiny until they got one that looked Exactly Like That.

3) There was no Thinking involved because this is Pink we’re talking about, and it was all just a huge coincidence for the sake of this Very Hilariously Uncomfortable Episode.

While we ruminate on that, let’s look at some Relatable Reactions.

And here we have the holy trinity of “I have just seen the clone of my deceased parent/parental figure/lover.”

Featuring: Bonus ‘I’m Almost Over It’ Pearl

Also, I need y’all to make this into a meme:

For example:

Anyway, alright, alright.

That relatable feel when your (hot) dead lesbian lover’s clone asks you if you’re okay after another one of the (less hot?) clones offers you a whole ass stick of butter to eat.

And then you and your friends all hide in the bathroom to talk about your feelings:

Okay, the rest of the episode gives me FEELINGS and I love how hard Steven is trying, so I’ll just close it off with:

I LOVE THEM. Unironically, they are EVERYTHING I had hoped Rose Quartz would be. They’re SO MUCH like Rose herself - did she model her personality after them? Or are they just like her because she WAS like that, and they’re made from her essence? WHO KNOWS?! They’re adorable!

And the conflict between them and Steven is honestly so gooD! I don’t know if it’s completely relatable but I’m glad they ended up talking it out.

I wonder if we’ll ever see Her again... you know who I’m talkin’ about.

Her....

I’m madly in love with Rose, ok, I don’t need a callout post. Just leave me be.

EP 4: VOLLEYBALL

Alright, alright, alright.

OKAy,.... It’s fine. It’s FINE. I’m fINE.

Confirmed: 8000 years. That’s. UH. A LOT? That puts our timelines quite a ways back. We kind of estimated as much, but still, it’s so jarring to think about. And PP is VERY casual about it.

She’s also VERY casual about the injury.

“This is all Pink Diamond!”

It doesn’t seem like it bothers her to talk about it at all. She’s not even trying to keep it a secret. So I’m almost wondering - was there a connection to her being taken by White and the injury at all or not?

She came to Steven to get healed - she clearly wants it gone. At the time she was injured, did Pink not even attempt to heal the injury?

Follow up question: If she DID care, why didn’t she try to heal it?

Follow up to the follow up: Was it because she didn’t know she could? Or did she simply not have the time to (White removed her before she could)?

When Steven goes pink, she gasps - but makes no further comment. It’s presumably because she’s seen this happen before. She doesn’t try to move away, weirdly enough - she asks him if everything is alright. Perhaps the context is too different for it to be triggering for her. Perhaps there’s more layers to it? HMMM.

What follows is, perhaps, the SALTIEST we’ve seen Pearl since Greg rolled around.

“Did you come to compete?”

This is doubly curious to me because Crewniverse has previously explicitly stated that Pearl was NOT in love with Pink Diamond. She was in love with Rose. So if this is true, why would Pearl care about her place as Pink’s Pearl? She is supposed to be past all that, isn’t she?

And yet as time goes on, the salinity grows exponentially. Alright, you two, I know you’re Pearls but tone it down with the sass.

(Also, I’m sorry but I will NEVER call her Volleyball. That’s all. Bye.)

Also it’s worth noting that... PP is clearly VERY much in love with Pink.

This is, perhaps, where the lack of a grudge plays into it. She’s completely enamoured.

Moreover, she’s VERY casual about how she talks here. This isn’t exactly how one talks of their Diamond. This is how people talk about their romantic partners. She calls Pink silly, calls her ‘funny’. That’s not exactly a term of respect - it’s way more intimate than that.

Also, did anyone else notice how, although CG Pearl’s gem is usually shaded in teal, it’s in Pink in this episode? VEEEERY subtle, Crew.

Also, we can’t quite see Pink Pearl’s expression fully here because her working eye isn’t visible, which makes it hard to get a read on things like

“I’m older than you.“ Is she just saying it casually? Or is she fully aware that she’s poking fun at CG Pearl?

HI SHELL. ISN’T IT FUNNY HOW YOUR VOICE AND YOUR NAME ARE A SUBTLE NOD TO PORTAL, WHICH IS FORESHADOWING HOW BADLY THIS IS GONNA END.

Meanwhile, Pearl continues to be in character.

“No need to be overly... attached.”

And this has nothing to do with anything but

she cute

Aaaand now it’s creepy again.

The rest of this is super important so let’s get to it:

“Oh, no. Pink did this.”

“What did you say?”

“It’s a funny story, really. Once, Pink got tired of asking Yellow and Blue for her own colony, so she went straight to White. Of course, White told her she wasn’t fit to run one... and well! That set her off.”

“Set her off? What are you talking about?”

“You remember how she was! With her destructive powers, throwing tantrums left and right! She had a scream that could crack the walls. She didn’t mean to hurt me! (giggle) I just happened to be standing too close to her that time and--”

And then Steven interrupts.

We get more CG Pearl arguing for how wrong this image of Pink is to her. What CG Pearl knew was a totally different (or, well, same, but VERY changed) Pink.

But what we have to prove our point is Steven himself. He rolls into the EXACT same state as Pink presumably did - and begins to over-use his powers.

(This isn’t the first time we have seen him use this attack.)

The reactions from the Pearls are telling - this is clearly not Pink Pearl’s first rodeo with this type of Mood.

And it’s important to note that Steven clearly didn’t direct any attack AT them. He simply yelled - and the whole dang place literally started to crack. There’s weight to the argument that possibly, Pink really DIDN’T mean to hurt her Pearl - that she was just collateral damage.

Which doesn’t make it any better, obviously. Even if Pink had no direct intention of hurting her Pearl (and there are theories that Pink purposefully hit or threw Pink Pearl or somehow physically acted directly to damage her, which I was skeptical of) the result of it is still the same.

If you raise your voice and yell, even if you’re just yelling because YOU are hurt/have feelings, you might still hurt the people around you. If you throw a tantrum, even if your direct goal was just to let off some steam without aiming to harm anyone, whoever gets in your way is still the victim.

And this is all very much On Brand for Pink’s timeline as we know it. We already knew this about her - we KNEW she tended to throw tantrums (like in the flashback on Jungle Moon) and that she was childish. The fact that she accidentally hurt her Pearl in the process because she had no self-control at that period in her life comes as no surprise.

(Although it’s important to mention that perhaps hurting her own Pearl WAS the breaking point during which she finally realized how her emotional outbursts could have negative consequences on those around her.)

And this is a very beautiful message - even if Pink Pearl still doesn’t want to blame Pink for what was done to her (”But... she didn’t mean to!”) Pearl brings the point of it back around to her (”But you were still hurt!”) The point isn’t the person who did the hurting - the focus is on the victim and how they were affected.

And the rest, I daresay, is history.

I like the fact that they managed to still bring it back around to the main message:

It isn’t about just “Pink was bad”. It’s about how she did bad things. And there were multiple sides to her - multiple stages. And the Pearls who knew her knew different sides of her - the side that didn’t know how to be a good person, who was selfish and childish and unrestrained... and the side that was, arguable, too restrained. Who hated her own past, her own character and her own mistakes so much that she would rather bury them and keep secrets from everyone.

And neither of those things were good, and neither were healthy, but they are a GREAT contrast to a GREAT character arc that is, arguably, still being unearthed. And we have so much more context for it all now.

I, for one, can’t wait to see and discover more of Pink through Pink Pearl - no matter how ugly that side of her might be. I think it gives great perspective to her later growth.

And if you ship the Pearls.. .well, I get why.

Personally I’m not interested in it that way. Call me unromantic - I don’t think their relationship NEEDS to be shippy in order to be satisfyingly deep. I love the idea of them having a deep bond over this - a shared past, a shared experience, and gaining confidence through one another.

Cheers and thanks for listening!

Jasper / Lapis swap (AU)

Since I’m not planning on making a fic, I thought I’d post some of my ideas:

War (Lapis):

Lapis was caught up in the middle of the war (like canon) but instead of being dissipated she joined the fight.

During the war higher officers took note of the fact that she was much stronger than the average Lapis, and post war assigned her to non-terraforming jobs.

War (Jasper):

There had been a tracking device planted on the back of Jasper’s gem after she was dissipated in battle one day- they did this because she seemed to be the most promising of her unit and wanted to test out the technology (which they later abandoned after era 1 ended).

Jasper was dissipated by a fusion during the war & put in the mirror - her gem wasn’t cracked during the retreat, but Pearl still put the mirror in her gem.

Mirror (Jasper):

Jasper reforming unknowingly set off the tracking device, making her gem traceable - Yellow Diamond ordered Peridot to go check it out since she already had Earth based missions, and asked Blue Diamond if she could assign Lapis to her Peridot - since Earth is mostly water, Lapis seemed like a good escort.

Jasper tries to attack Steven after he releases her from the mirror, but she collapses onto the beach before the Crystal Gems see that.

The Crystal Gems try to capture her but she spins off into the ocean (her eyes are still reflective like mirrors).

She figured she could hide until her strength came back, but doesn’t stray far from the temple - thinks it would be a good tactical advantage to observe them.

Hand ship:

When the ship lands on the beach, Jasper thinks Homeworld has returned to rescue her so that she can serve The Authority again- so she runs onto the beach.

Lapis think’s Jasper being happy to return to Homeworld is an act, and dissipates her with a Gem Destabiliser before using it on Garnet.

Lapis removed the tracking device when Jasper was inside her Gem. Jasper wasn’t happy to find herself reforming in a prison cell

Reforming fixed Jasper’s eyes - they were no longer permanently reflective (they can still go reflective when she zones out though).

Jasper kept trying to convince Lapis that she wasn’t a Crystal Gem, but Lapis didn’t believe her- only a handful of Crystal Gem’s managed to survive the war, so clearly Jasper was one of them. She tried to tell Lapis that she didn’t know Steven was Rose Quartz until she saw the shield on the beach.

Lapis says something along the lines of “Do you really think you would be believed back on Homeworld? You somehow scared tracking for thousands of years, and you were found with your Crystal Gems. You’re going to be interrogated and then Blue Diamond will shatter you!”

Jasper is okay with being shattered at the hands of a Diamond if that’s what they viewed as just, but she refused to accept shattering for being a traitor when she wasn’t one- she hated the Crystal Gems more than she hated Earth.

Beach / fusion:

Lapis’s gem cracks on impact from the ship hitting the beach- but like in canon, she is still in control over her form and part of her powers.

They can’t return to Homeworld because of the busted ship. Lapis cant fly back because of her cracked gem, so she proposes fusion to Jasper, telling her it’s the opportunity to prove she’s not a traitor.

Jasper agrees to fuse without hesitation.

Lapis evaluated Jasper as the strongest Crystal Gem and think’s she acts as the leader, so she believes if she takes her out of the picture (by fusing with her and keeping her bound to her underwater for months) then Peridot would be able to eliminate the rest of the Crystal Gems.

She thinks she is keeping herself safe, and protecting Homeworld from the Crystal Gems by holding Jasper prisoner.

The whole time they’re fused, Jasper tries to convince Lapis that she’s not a Crystal Gem- while they can feel each other’s emotions, Lapis isn’t sure if Jasper is lying or not. She can’t take the risk.

Post fusion (Lapis):

Lapis is swept up into the water (because of the cluster-earthquakes) after unfusing. She stays there because it’s where she feels strongest with a cracked gem.

She rounds up the corrupted gems to fight for her bc the crack makes her vulnerable.

Steven heals her after she fuses with a corrupted gem, but it only heals the crack not the corruption.

Post fusion (Jasper):

Jasper is taken back to the barn - she’s angry when she reforms. Talk’s about how the Crystal Gems are traitors and that they should all be ashamed of themselves. She wants to run off but she still feels weak after fusion.

Jasper argues with Peridot over why she would ever become a traitor. Probably calls her defective (because of her height).

The baseball ep results in more broken bats / a ball explodes. (Jasper wears a bandanna over her face like a mask). The Rubies are asking for Lapis, since she was the leader of the Earth Mission - Jasper stay’s silent because one of the Rubies also asks Peridot where the traitorous Quartz they were tasked with retrieving was.

Jasper struggles to be around Garnet and flinches when she sees the others fuse- but she doesn’t say anything to let the others know.

Eventually Jasper tolerates Peridot because Peridot is more than happy to tell her all about what she missed over the years back on Homeworld. Jasper has a lot of questions, and doesn’t mind when Peridot gets off topic because she’s still leaning about Era 2.

While spending a little more time with the Crystal Gems, Jasper slowly learns to see the Earth from a different perspective, but still struggled with her inner conflicts- she still hates Earth and the Crystal Gems, and doesn’t want to betray her Diamond by falling victim to their propaganda.

One day while they were having an argument over everything, Jasper screams at Steven about him shattering Pink Diamond, before she runs away from the barn and makes her lil cave in the woods for a while (same as in SUF).

Jasper lets the others visit her once they find her - she acts like she hates it but she hates the silence. She accepts that Steven isn’t Rose, but he is Rose’s son so she still doesn’t want to see him. Peridot visits more often than the others.

Jasper naps a lot, and is a heavy sleeper (she doesn’t breathe when she sleeps, so no snoring). Sometimes her ‘naps’ last a few days.

She eventually returns to the barn (she stayed in her lil territory before the Rubies return and doesn’t come back to the barn until after Navy steals the ship again- she never knew the ship was there).

Jasper makes friends with Peridot- they mostly tolerate each other. Jasper doesn’t talk much, but she always listens to Peridot when she speaks.

Jasper is pretty calm until the others are around, but she doesn’t try to attack them- she’s mainly just tired. Sometimes makes snarky remarks about how they’re all traitors.

After the PD/ Rose reveal, she goes back to the barn to be alone. She doesn’t go to Garnet’s wedding, and sleeps instead.

She sleeps through the entire Diamond ordeal, (idk how they won without Lapis, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it happens somehow)

Steven asks Bismuth to go to Jasper to tell her that they’re leaving - she replies with “who’s Jasper?” Greg shows her where the barn is.

Bismuth and Jasper become friends pretty quickly, and Jasper helps Bismuth rebuild the house & goes with Peridot and Bismuth to Homeworld (knowing PD was Rose, Jasper would rather fight alongside the Gems who Rose cared about than alongside the Authority)

Post CYM (Lapis):

Lapis returns to Homeworld to try to get over her fear of Blue Diamond, before deciding to live on a liberated Gem colony that she had never visited before, and try to put the past behind her.

She makes a few friends, and generally tries to stay away from conflict- she’s oh so sick of conflict.

Post CYM (Jasper):

Jasper helps Bismuth build Little Homeworld, and lives there. She doesn’t teach any classes, but she does take them (she still struggles to love Earth, but she no longer has to worry about being a traitor).

Jasper doesn’t label herself as a Crystal Gem, but she hangs out with Bismuth and Peridot a lot, and doesn’t get mad at comments like “we Crystal Gems” etc. that clump her together with them.

Jasper reconnects with the other Earth Quartzes, and makes friends with some Corrupted Quartzes too - she plays beach volleyball with them.

If I ever draw things from these ideas, I will edit this post with a link to the drawing like this.

The Sims 4 Island Living: Twitter Q&A

SimGurus have been answering questions and giving players some more information on The Sims 4 Living Expansion Pack.

A number of you have asked about the legacy edition. We have decided to postpone the legacy update for TS4 for now. All players will be able to buy and enjoy the Island Living Expansion Pack when it launches June 21.

— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke)

June 11, 2019

It does have seasons for players with that EP but it is a tropical destination so don’t expect snow. It will rain more in the winter though.

— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke)

June 11, 2019

Residential

— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke)

June 12, 2019

Only in Sulani at this time.

— Island Lyndsay 🌴☀️🐬 (@SimGuruLyndsay)

June 11, 2019

Sorry, let me clarify 😁 Bad wording on my part: Suntans & Sunburns are exclusive to Island Living only. So if you want to drop a lounge chair in Del Sol Valley & catch some rays, you can do that too!!!

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 12, 2019

You know, I talked to them about it at length, and after much discussion they worried the water might be a touch too shallow, so we opted to keep the legs in that scenario. Gotta keep those fins hydrated, you know!

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 12, 2019

Yaaas absolutely new fish. Clownfish & other new gorgeous colorful beasts.

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 13, 2019

I have 0 insight into future plans, but we made sure to not close any doors.

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 13, 2019

Yup! We have quite a few new tropical ocean fish to catch like the Mahi Mahi and Celestial Grouper. Out in the wild (but not catchable) you may find some sea turtles, jellyfish, sharks, and dolphins!

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 12, 2019

Nope, Sims can take odd jobs anywhere! There are a few that ask you to travel to some place in Sulani or do Sulani things though, so make sure you read the description!

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 12, 2019

Yup! If your Sim is at a beach lot, lifeguard NPCs sometimes come visit to make everyone feel safe with their muscles 😂 (they like to pose)

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 12, 2019

Yep! There's a special something that, when consumed, turns a Sim into a Mermaid! You'll know it when you find it 😉

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 13, 2019

I love that idea! Unfortunately, radios and speakers won't work on off-the-grid lots. We really wanted these lots to feel completely different so we made the decision that pretty much anything with electrical components wouldn't work. This does give me ideas though... 🤔

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 14, 2019

Yes, any Sim can turn into a mermaid using Mermadic kelp (my spelling is probably off) and you need to find it in Sulani. You can mermaid offspring but they don’t grow their tails until teens.
