Heres my rant about Amethio age discussion and why I think the age range excuse is stupid. I should probably keep this out of the main tag, but I'm tired, sick, and angry, so idc.
Big really angry rant under the line.
So please can anyone explain to me why everyone thought that VAs comment about Amethio being a teen means hes between 13-19 and also 100% CAN be a 19 years old?
Cause English says that a teen is between 13 and 19? Well we all know that English has a lot of stupid stuff in it, so doesnt really count. Plus, quick reminder, this is anime. Japan. The meaning behind teenager could be very different here.
The difference between 13 and 19 years old is so contrast that giving Amethio this range in the first place is moronic. A 13 years old still needs to ask their daddy to go out with their friends. 19 years old already expected to pay taxes, move out of the house, is probably already on a antidepressants.
And the thing is, Amethio doesnt even act like a 19 years old! He acts like a 14 years old emo that tries his very best to look serious and is desperate for attention.
The whole his beef with Friede is a big ass example of this, that Anime just shoves into your face! Amethio becames irrated immediately after Friede stops giving attention to him, everything in his actions screams "Take me seriously!" He wants to be seen as a professional serious trainer by someone who has authority [ Friede ] and is hurt when it doesnt happen. Its literally how neglected children act.
Also the whole excuse with "B-but hes working with Explorers and has his own subordinates that he commands" GUESS WHO ALSO A MINOR BUT IS A BOSS OF A SHIP? ZUKO. The literal icon of redemption arcs. He also was casted away in the age of 13 and had a whole small army under his command. Does that make him an adult? NO. Both Amethio and Zuko are clearly special, thats why they both are forced into a weapon by their respective parential abusers [ Ozai / Gibeon ], and given some special privileges to make it seem that thse abusers love them, when in fact they are just using them.
He doesnt look like a 19 years old either! His body type barely resembles one of Friede or Spinel, both being a clear cut adults. And before someone says "Well I think that Friede looks 20 and that Amethio is just a really twigy guy" no hes bloody not! Reminder, this is pokemon, we have Lusamine and Cyrus that look like 20 and 40, but actually the opposite. And the thing is, Amethio closely resembles Silver with his body! Whos, yk, A CANONICAL 13 YEARS OLD.
What is more hysterical to me is when the Interviews AND Anime itself start to make parallels between Amethio and the kid Trio, whos, yk, OBVIOUSLY KIDS. Like- in both interviews before the big arcs the boy was compared to Liko & Roy [ And Dot, by extension. ] Amethio was literally called a kid alongside the kid Trio, [ One of the kids that still havent found their dream ] which not only makes him a minor, but also puts him the same age group with Liko, Roy and Dot!
And Anime situation is even more comedic. Khem khem. Literally an episode that got out not so long ago, 44. Amethio is called a spoiled brat by Sango [ Which already makes him a kid, but alas ]. Guess who was also called a spoiled kid? LIKO. BY MOLLIE IN THE ABROLIVA EPISODE. Liko, whos canonically we seen as a child child in the episode 18, was called the same thing as Amethio. I get that Anime tries to make parallels between them in general, but that doesnt matter to me now. The most important thing is - they are both viewed as a kids. Yk. MINORS.
Ending this, I'll say - Amethio is a barely 14, maybe at maximum 15, and he is sure is not a 19 years old. I'm sure hes in the same age bracket as Liko, Roy and Dot.
Also AmeFriede is the worst ship that deserves its own place in hell, alongside AmeSpinel. I hate both of these. They are bad from all perspectives.
[ Also, this is the angriest I felt lately, so I wont probably post any other rants like that. This is just me being beaten down by flu and projecting my anger towards this shitty and stupid "discussion". ]
#pokemon horizons#amethio#my insomniac rambles#My rants#Also this isnt targeted at anyone - this is just me being really fucking angry and ranting into the air

Steven universe Spinel headcannon with a human reader?
Oh! Spinel will be fun to write!
Yandere! Spinel with Human! Darling
Pairing: Romantic/Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Clingy behavior, Manipulation, Stalking, Invasion of privacy(?), Murder implied, Violence, Mood swings, Kidnapping, Fear of abandonment, Forced companionship.
Spinel is very... unstable.
Her yandere behavior would reflect that.
She's better during Steven Universe: Future, but before that she was certainly more unhinged.
My yandere Spinel would be a combination of the two.
Spinel is goofy and fun-loving for the most part.
She wants to be super close with her darling and be your best friend essentially.
She can get suffocating and clingy in an attempt to make you happy.
Spinel feels if she keeps you happy then you'll love her and never leave her.
This gem hates being left behind and would do anything to prevent it.
Spinel is Obsessive, Clingy, Affectionate, Clever, Prone to outbursts, and very Trusting towards her darling.
Spinel wasn't expecting to be so attached to a human darling.
The closest she got was Steven, but that was due to the whole being Pink thing.
Spinel appears to be extremely obsessive over you when she meets you.
When she loves a darling she is rarely seen away from you.
She follows you everywhere, the gem wanting to know more about you.
There's a huge gap between gem and human culture.
It'll take some getting used to for both her and you.
Humans are a bit strange in terms of behavior but she really wants to understand you.
It'll take time for you because... well... Spinel's an alien rock person that has the ability to act as a living cartoon.
Her movements still scare you a bit.
Spinel knows that learning to be friends with you after Pink will be a bit of a struggle for her.
Let alone understanding this whole love thing if she decides to see you that way.
Spinel is clingy to you, a human, due to her past.
You just being kind to her is already enough to get her hooked.
She wants to do everything with you.
Spinel is incredibly affectionate towards you even if you want to be left alone.
She gives tight hugs that coil around you like a snake...
She kisses your cheek sometimes as what you can only assume is a greeting?
She even compliments you, bouncing up and down around you with excitement you can't ever match.
Spinel also trusts you not to harm her or her feelings.
You'll be different than Pink, she doesn't think you'll abandon her.
In terms of murder or abduction, Spinel may do such a thing.
Despite her attempts at healing she's still a bit unhinged.
She's prone to outbursts and could harm her darling or those around you.
She usually doesn't mean to harm you, forgetting humans are vulnerable.
If she hurt you fatally, you don't come back...
So Spinel ends up apologizing a ton if she does hurt you.
She has tears in her eyes and everything... she's sorry she made you bleed or cracked a bone!
She wants to fix it.
When it comes to others... her outbursts are probably out of jealousy.
She doesn't usually feel bad if she hurts a human or gem who she's jealous of.
Unless you find out and are upset about it...
Only then does she feel guilty about it.
If Spinel kidnapped you it's because she doesn't want to go to Homeworld without you.
You're a human... you belong on Earth.
But it's either she stays here or you come with her.
She refuses to part from you.
She emphasizes this by wrapping around you tightly, face pressed into your neck.
You aren't sure if you want to go but what choice do you have?
Dragging you to Homeworld... she cares for you while she lives with the Diamonds.
She even asks Steven to provide you with all the human needs.
Spinel believes she can find a new family in you and the Diamonds...
She just doesn't realize her attempts at making you both happy harm you in the end.

Onyx with a dense professor reader
request
another onyx, gotta love that man. i loved the fact that this req mentioned pokespe ahh. the reader really be twinning with professor sycamore bro. 🤗
— NOTE : LOWERCASE INTENDED
onyx would try his best to hide his identity, super low-key. he wanted to make sure you wouldn't get involved in their shenanigans. other than you helping their research, you were never explicitly apart of them.
they may have tried to let you join your side several times, but your density is probably enough to sink the brave asagi. they try to make it subtle though, but it doesn't matter cause you don't get t.
he was first curious about your occupation, trying to learn more about how professors do all their fancy things.
he compared you to friede, unlike friede you unknowingly help people when they were i need. that was something that peeked his interest, how could someone be so kind to people that could take it for granted?
he learned to appreciate your kindness, even if he can't get your reasoning. he should be great full you were dense enough to help them.
when they were looking for the shiny rayquaza, you immediately came to his mind (aye) he felt guilty using you, but he's evil. villains do whatever they can.
like spinel, he puts on this nice facade so that you won't see him as a threat and continue your research. they really can't blame you, when the person they say is apart of an evil organization is someone who's very kind to you.
maybe you believe them, maybe you dont. it is quite likely that the rvt will look for you too considering your knowledge about this rayquaza.
liko is a nice and sweet girl, but why would you believe her over the person you're more close with? that was your mindset, so whenever she told you about this "evil organization" you'd deny onyx ever being part.
you made so many excuses, "what onyx would never do that!", "onyx is a close friend of mine, he wouldn't do such horrible things."
you might confront him someday about it, but hey the shiny rayquaza is cool! and he looks even cooler. don't believe someone who doesn't even know that person very well...right?

Big Sister!Spinel Headcanons
the best at coming up with new games and crafts to do together!
even though she's super enthusiastic, she's also really good at making sure her suggestions are suitable for your limits, whether that's around age range or disability or personal preferences
takes being a Big Sister very seriously and gets all puffed up about being trusted with taking care of you
will definitely just steal anything you want: gems don't have money, only hierarchy, so Spinel doesn't really... understand the concept of stealing
super interested in all of your toys and especially any electronics you have! anything that flashes is Super Cool to her
can get a little bored if you prefer to sit and watch cartoons, but will entertain herself by colouring: she really likes to run around and explore with you!
really obsessed with stickers and will put them on everything especially her BEST FRIEND (that's you)
if you're sad she will do a big song and a silly dance and make sure to cheer you up!
very good at hugging and good to tackle-hug because she makes squeaky sounds when you squeeze her
super starry-eyed about everything you show her, especially if it's something you made. "w0oah!!!! you made that???"

Meeting with Sugar again (This one's a long one)
Spinel looked out the window, keeping an eye out. This time they didn't spot the pink pony along the way, but it was a bit earlier than the last time so he wasn't worried just yet. But as fate would have it, it seemed, once the taxi arrived to their destination and they stepped out, they could spot a very distinct pink pony with that same big fluffy dog he was walking before coming down the street. He didn't notice them yet.
Randy watched the candy colored pony approach, and he nodded. “B- Bury that h- hostility d- deep down for n- now okay? L- Let’s just g- get through th- this as quickly as p- possibility w- with the least i- insult to injury we can manage.” He adjusted his scarf and strode confidently towards Sweet, pretending not to notice him at first. When they got within waving distance, Randy engaged him with a wave and feigned a surprised look. “H- Hey! M- Mr. Smiles!” he said with a friendly, cheeky ring in his voice.
Bury the hostility? It seemed easy enough, but when he saw the pony he locked up a bit. He didn't feel angry. He felt the undeniable urge to run. He even took a few steps back and turned his head down nervously, realizing he wasn't at all prepared for this. Maybe if he just played it off shy... He very slowly moved next to Randy, glancing at him and then at Sugar with a fake curiosity. It did all he took not to stare in horror at the dog which damn near resembled a bear.
Sugar meanwhile gasped excitedly when he saw Randy, and eagerly waved back with a big smile. The huge fluffy ball of dog that made him look rather small in comparison seemed well behaved enough, tail wagging to the new ponies but keeping quiet and by Sugar's side obediently.
"Heeey, it's- Randy right?! Good to run in to you again, how are you?"
Randy nodded eagerly and beamed. “I- I’m doing very w- well!” He looked over at the giant, bear-ball of floof. “Wh- Who uh.. who’s your friend?” he asked, pretending to be slightly nervous about the presence of a dog. Consistency was important, and he had to remember he was ‘sort of afraid of dogs still.’ He leaned back against Spinel, trying to both comfort him and remain consistent with his previous little white lie.
When Sugar came close to them he put a hoof up and pet the big dog's neck, "O-oh right, goodness you keep catching me with the more intimidating looking ones huh? This is Leo, a Tibetan Mastiff. Raised him myself."
Leo made a huff noise through his nose at the mention of his name, and started panting contently.
Sugar glanced at Spinel, then Randy, getting an awkward but playful smile "Aaaand who's your friend?"
Spinel couldn't say anything. He just stared at Sugar, giving a really odd smile before slowly retreating a little bit behind Randy. A fruitless effort, since he was taller than the ram.
Randy giggled, and slowly turned around to take Spinel by the shoulders and bring him back to his original spot. “Th- This is my um.. w- well m- my special some pony~” He stood up on his hoof-tips and gave him a sweet, very tender kiss on the cheek. “H- He’s the uh.. o- one I was reading th- the a.. article about?” He flushed and looked up innocently.
Spinel flushed a little as well, keeping his eyes averted. Yes, acting shy was the best way to excuse not looking at someone who looked so damn similar... He cleared his throat softly, and wanted to introduce himself, but it just came out all wrong when he spoke because he just kept thinking about those expectant green eyes on him. "Hello sir, it's a good day today, my name is Spinel."
Sugar blinked, tilting his head slightly and keeping the smile, "Well I hope it's a good day yes! I'm Sugar-Coated, or just Sugar." He paused, noticing Spinel's reluctance and tried to reassure, "Nothing to be ashamed of, you two look great together..!"
Spinel's ears perked slightly. Did they really? He glanced at Randy awkwardly.
Randy flushed himself, and looked over at Spinel, shrugging and laughing hardily. “W- Well I like t- to think so!” he said, trying to keep up the act. He hadn’t realized he was going to pretend to be so shy. He was kind of expecting him to take the reigns. But it looked like he was going to have to lead this dance. “S- So, wh- where are you o- off to? O- Or are you j- just taking your p- pooch for a walk?”
"Oh just a morning walk, already did his uh, 'duties' in the park so it's just strolling around for now." He paused a moment, trying to think of what to say next and kicking his hoof around a little, "What about you two?"
Spinel looked up finally, but was looking at the dog rather than Sugar. "Just getting some coffee together. Nothing too special."
Sugar couldn't quite put his hoof on why Spinel was being so odd, but then it clicked and he couldn't help but chuckle a little. But he kept it to himself and looked between him and Randy.
“W- Would you like to join us?” he asked, and gestured with his head to the diner. “I- It would be w- wonderful if we c- could chat, a- and you could g- get to know m- my loverr~” he said with a tiny purr, giving Spinel a playful look before chuckling. “Wh- What do you s- say? I- I’m buyin’!”
Lover? Did he have to say lover? That was beyond cheesy. Who even said that any more? Spinel flushed deeply and quickly turned without a word to go to the diner, not listening for the verdict.
Sugar watched Spinel walk off in that dramatic fashion that he did, awkwardly looking at Randy. "Uhh did I say something wrong?" He blinked, then cleared his throat, "A-anyway well, if you don't mind, if he doesn't mind either, I mean... Sure! Let me just..." He led the big dog to a lamp post and tied up the leash to it, giving Randy another awkward look, but smiling, "He just being shy about the open affection? Eheheh, I know how that is, you're a bit like Flora, can't help but show love no matter what ponies think right? Took getting used to."
Randy looked back at Spinel, scowling a bit at how crass he was being. They needed to keep up the appearance, not go storming off. After all, he was the one who said that this was all an act. He turned back to Sugar and looked up innocently as he shrugged. “I c- can’t help it! H- He’s just so… c- cute!” He giggled and started heading for the diner as well. “I st- still need to meet your l- lovely fiancee! Y- You still have my number right?” he said as he opened the door for him. “We should d- definitely g- get together for dinner soon!” This.. ‘acting’ thing was a lot easier than he thought it would be. Maybe it was because he was already in a good mood from earlier.
"Yeeap she says the same thing whenever she licks my face out of nowhere." He rubbed his cheek awkwardly and flushed, clearing his throat and smiling again before walking and chatting while he held the door open for Randy, "We'll have to meet up before the show, I'm sure she'd just love both of you to bits. She's really big on supporting well- uh- you know- less than accepted couples." He didn't want to be rude of course, not wanting to make Randy feel weird or anything.
Spinel was already sitting at a table, a basket of creamers in front of him as he tapped his hoof impatiently.
Randy chuckled and softly patted him on the back. “W- Well isn’t th- that nice? I’d l- love to hear m- more of her th- thoughts on that.” He smiled and sat in the chair next to Spinel, and looked over at him with a smitten smile. “D- Did you already o- order the coffee love?” he asked with less zeal, but with the same charming tone as a significant other might have. He looked over at Sugar and leaned on the table, grinning pleasantly. “S- So! What have you been up to s- since the last t- time I saw you?"
Spinel nodded, "Of course, hon. Ordered 3, black so you can add whatever..." He kept his eyes on Randy, only sideglancing Sugar on occasion. It was really unsettling how he could feel the word 'uncle' in the back of his throat every time he thought about addressing him.
Gosh they were pretty cute, Sugar never saw a same sex couple up close like this before and he found it interesting how they just seemed like any ordinary couple, if not a little awkward but he could see why considering it was Canterlot. He'd sat down across from them and looked out the window to make sure he could see Leo just fine before looking back to talk, "Oh, not much. Yesterday, Flora and I mostly just set up her stand in the arena entryway to encourage donations for a new animal shelter here."
“Oh w- wow! That sounds wonderful!” He chuckled and softly leaned against Spinel. “W- Well, I’m sure y- you’ll t- take first prize! A- And I’ll be sure to try and dr- drop by her st- stand and s- see her again. M- Maybe I’ll slip y- you a check as well!” He gave Spinel a gentle, comforting nuzzle, and looked up at him for a moment, smiling a much more comforting smile then an infatuated one. “S- So, wh- who so f- far has m- made a pledge t- to the shelter?” He looked back over to Sugar and smiled. “B- Besides me of course. A- Any o- of your friends? O- Or maybe s- some of your brother’s friends?”
"Oh-oh that would be- that would be wonderful-!" Sugar replied almost a little too excitedly. Wow, usually he was pretty terrible at finding donors, things really were turning around...! "You'd be the first one I guess, the dog show was where we wanted to start it. Flora's great though, she'll do fine I'm sure." He poked his hooves together, flushing with a smile. "I don't know if his friends will or not, probably since he has a lot of them, but usually he finds ways to gather up enough to make up for whatever we don't."
Spinel managed to look at him curiously, "You know, come to think of it, you do seem really familiar...? I think I might know him." He leaned back looking up in feigned thought, then threw on a big uncharacteristically cheerful smile as he spoke in a singsong voice, "Chin up, chin up, it's another beautiful day!"
Sugar's jaw dropped, and just a moment it looked like nerves took over and left him frozen. But he melted in to a laugh and a wide eyed smile, "Yes! Yes, that's definitely my brother!"
[Randy looked at Spinel in silent shock. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. Spinel not only told Sugar his name, but revealed that he knew Candy. If he had known any better, he would have dragged Spinel to the side and ‘delicately’ explained why what he had just done was a horrible idea. But, he would wait. Spinel obviously had a plan… or at least he hoped he did. He looked at Spinel with false curiosity. “Y- You know Sugar’s br- brother?”
Sugar also looked curious now, and played with his bowtie a little.
Spinel gave a shrug, "Only a little. Caaaandy, I think?" he eyed Sugar, who gave a prompt nod. He smirked a little after but it was covered by a grin. "I don't really know him too well, I've just met him a few times and he probably wouldn't remember me. But he certainly leaves an impression."
"Ahaha, he really does. He's always been like that, just going all out with everything. Probably why everypony likes him so much." He looked down, smile getting a little distant, "He's not afraid of anything, it's amazing."
He saw that smile fade. Sugar had a gross amount of respect for some pony that really didn’t deserve it. Perhaps it was time to alleviate some of those insecurities he was having. He deserved that much at least. “.. y- you know, a little f- fear does the soul g- good.” Randy shrugged and softly put his hoof on Spinel’s thigh under the table, rubbing it softly. “F- Fear can k- keep us in line, a- and prevent us fr- from doing something th- that could get o- ourselves hurt or th- the ponies we care about… s- so maybe it’s n- not such a g- good thing that y- your brother ‘isn’t a- afraid.’” He continued to softly stroke the top of Spinel’s thigh, hoping that it was providing some comfort. “Y- You become.. a r- risk wh- when you charge i- into something w- without e- even the sl- slightest bit of h- hesitation. M- Maybe I’m wrong.. b- but th- there is n- no bravery i- if there is no f- fear to o- overcome.”
Spinel actually felt like agreeing with Sugar for a moment, and that frightened him. It was a good thing Randy brought him back to reality with that touch, and he moved closer to him as he quietly listened.
Slowly, as Randy spoke, Sugar's smile began to fade. He looked around, and quickly focused on the waiter as the coffee was brought over, giving probably more thank yous than needed and absently taking multiple packets of sugar and dumping them in his coffee. He didn't stir though, and tried to take a sip of the coffee before wincing and jumping slightly from how hot and bitter it was. He put it down and chuckled nervously, stirring his coffee and looking out at the dog. "I-I guess but... Better to be fearless than a coward, right...? Hah..."
“B- Being afraid and h- having fear; th- those don’t make you a coward.” He gave Spinel’s thigh one more gentle squeeze before he took his own coffee and poured some cream into it. “I- It’s choosing n- not to confront those things.” He sighed and stirred his coffee. He stared at Sugar with a knowing look, and shrugged. “I d- don’t think y- you’re a c- coward if th- that’s what you’re i- implying… y- you have a l- lot of courage t- to be in the r- relationship you’re in. T- Take it from us,” he said as he softly held Spinel’s hoof in his and smiled. “Being br- brave can be as simple as saying, “I love you.” He looked up at Spinel as he said those three words, a soft look in his gaze.
"Oh. Hm." the pink stallion stirred a little faster, smiling but with his brows showing a pain that could only be described as guilt. Surely an expression Randy was familiar with, considering his occupation. He warmed as he talked about Flora though, and he looked really comforted by that while giving a nod and finally sipping his coffee once more. He warmed even more seeing this inspiring couple in front of him. "Hardest thing I ever did in my life, but I guess now that I've said it, I don't have to be afraid any more..."
Spinel stared at Randy, finding himself feeling agreeable to everything he was hearing. Was it because he was mellow, or was it the fact that right now he felt like a vulnerable kid at the moment? When Randy said those words, his hoof gripped back, and he smiled almost hesitantly. "Or hell.. Just admitting how scared you are is enough."
Sugar's eyes widened a moment, and he lightly choked on his coffee a little before putting it down and laughing a little. A rather... Broken sounding laugh.
Guilty.. of what though? Did he feel guilty that he was in love with a creature not of their species? Or.. was there something else that he hadn’t confronted. He looked over at Spinel and smiled. “Th- That’s true too. Smart and c- cute~” He softly nuzzled his shoulder before looking back at Sugar. “.. Being af- afraid is natural, friend. And like my very sm- smart colt-friend here s- said, a- admitting y- you need to f- fix something l- like a particular fear is a f- form of br- bravery all on its own. A- And it’s th- the first step t- towards turning th- that particular weakness into a strength.” He smiled and took a sip of his coffee. “A- And the wonderful th- thing is, y- you don’t have t- to do it alone. Wh- Whatever it is y- you fear, y- your lovely w- wife will b- be able to h- help you overcome th- that adversity.”
Spinel flushed at being called smart, honestly flattered by the compliment. He started putting sugar and creamer in to his coffee and sipped it as well. He hoped the conversation would steer away from all these ooshy mushy feelings and get more on track, but he wouldn't push it. He opened the gate so it was up to Randy to go through. He wanted to talk to Sugar as minimally as possible. There was no way he'd let this guy think they shared any kind of meaningful bond. He didn't want to associate with any relations to Uncle Candy.
Sugar went quiet and listened, nodding a few times and then giving a sigh with a smile. "She's a lot stronger than I am but that's okay. She gives me a lot of that strength. I didn't mean to make things depressing." He moved his hooves up as if pulling his face in to a smile. "Chin up, right?"
Spinel visibly quivered a moment, and looked ill. He covered by gulping a large amount of coffee.
Randy sensed the discomfort that brought the unicorn. He felt bad there was nothing he could really say to help him, so he’d do cute things like compliment him and give him tiny signs of affection. “W- Well, h- having some p- pony to b- be there for y- you, and t- to bring o- out the best in you i- is definitely important.” He smiled and took another long sip of his coffee. “Y- You stay w- with her S- Sugar. She’ll h- help you b- become s- something you n- never thought you’d be c- capable of becoming. A- And, e- even though you m- may not realize it.. you’ll bring o- out the best in e- each other.” He spoke with an experienced confidence, and he tried to help ease Spinel’s discomfort with a small neck kiss. “M- My stallion has certainly d- done that for me~”
Sugar nodded and smiled, gaining more confidence. "Oh I will. Still, I'm sorry I took up this conversation, I kind of feel like a... A jerk right now since I don't know very much about either of you. Um..." He paused, glancing away a bit and thinking. What was he supposed to ask about these ponies...? This whole time it was mostly just Randy asking him things. "Hhooow long have you two known eachother?"
Spinel was between impatient and flattered and uncomfortable and it was not at all a pleasant combination. So he lept on the question just to keep himself in some kind of check, "Couple of years. We didn't actually get along too well at first, sort of on and off deal. But.. I guess when I was in trouble he pulled through for me and we had more in common than we thought." He actually managed to smile sweetly at Sugar, but his eyes were closed and actually he was clenching his teeth.
Randy chuckled, a bit uncomfortably. He didn’t realize they were going to be that specific. He looked at Sugar and smiled. “W- What about y- you and Fl- Flora? H- How long did you two kn- know each other before y- you became e- engaged?” He really needed to try and wrap up this conversation so they could return to the pressing matter at hoof. All they needed was one name. They c- could use Spinel’s contacts and Randy’s connections to find the pony if they could just get a name. He smiled, but impatiently wiggled his tail, hoping things would speed along.
"We've been friends for a while, a-actually I met her because of my brother. He made a huge donation to one of her fundraisers for a dog shelter and it surprised her since, well, we're a family of renowned breeders and she assumed we'd all be snooty about mutts. But- but I love mutts too! And I really liked her, n-not because she's canine but because she's really headstrong and loyal. We were best friends for about four years before she got me to admit I liked her." He scratched his head and laughed a little. "It's only been a year and maybe I'm a big dummy but my brother always told me to just go for things if I wanted them, and I kind of blurted a proposal a couple months ago. It's surreal."
Spinel was not paying attention to this conversation at all any more. This guy was boring as fuck. Instead he just made lovey eyes at Randy and nuzzled him, pretending he thought the story was cute.
Randy giggled as he was nuzzled, but was inwardly growing more and more anxious. “I- It’s amazing how f- fast things can m- move along huh?” he asked, putting his foreleg around Spinel’s shoulder and hugging him from the side. “W- Well that’s wonderful th- though! I h- hope the wedding i- is phenomenal!” He took his coffee in his other mug and took a sip. “H- How is your br- brother by the way? Th- The last time we spoke, you s- said he was away o- on business.”
"Oh I don't think it could be anything but..." Sugar trailed off dreamily, eyes now off in the distant dreamy future. He tensed and drank the rest of his coffee at the question, and momentarily paused to flag down the waiter for another cup. Once the waiter was gone, he looked back at the two, twiddling his hooves anxiously with a little smile. "Aaaactually I was going to meet him again later today! Just ah, hang out a bit around Canterlot, sightseeing... I'm just thankful he made some time for me really!"
Spinel inwardly felt like throwing up. Who would want to spend time with that disgusting, loud mouthed, smiling maniac? "He does charity, right? Wow. I never thought it was such a time consuming thing."
Sugar's smile faultered and just one moment there was a hint of doubt and confusion. "Heh...?"
“W- Well that sounds nice. I- It’s just o- odd to me th- that he ’has’ to make t- time for you. Y- You’re family! H- He should al- always tr- try to make t- time for you!” He leaned on the table and sipped the last of his coffee before flagging down the waiter for another cup as well. “H- Hopefully h- he won’t tr- try to bring his b- business into your leisure t- time today. Th- That would be unfortunate. I kn- know that I h- hate it when he brings up a- all the annoying people at w- work wh- when we should just b- be having a good time~” Randy playfully nudged Spinel, and gave him a cute stink eye and pout before looking back at Sugar. “H- He doesn’t t- talk about business wh- when you’re hanging o- out does he?”
Spinel gave a grunt at the nudge, huffing at Randy after. He kept to his coffee, since he didn't finish it yet. He continued to keep his eyes more or less away from Sugar, but it might have been making it worse since from the corner of his eye he couldn't tell him apart from Candy. He hoped this conversation could be over soon.
Sugar scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "O-ooh ah, no he doesn't really talk much about it, uh, mostly we'll probably talk about the dog show and other canine related things..." He crinkled his nose a moment, "I mean, him talking about his work wouldn't bother me since I talk about dogs all the time, that'd be unfair wouldn't it?" He hesitated and went silent for a while, getting his new coffee and staring at it while he stirred in the sugar.
“I s- suppose so,” he replied, deciding to drink this cup black. “B- But really? He n- never.. t- talks about ponies wh- who bother him a- at work or an- anything like that? I- I’m surprised. I f- feel like b- being in the ch- charity b- business, he might encounter a l- lot of s- self righteous hoity t- toity t- types that would m- make him grumpy.. or s- something like that.” It was definitely really direct, but looking at Spinel he could gauge that this whole experience was making him really uncomfortable. He’d definitely do.. well something for him after they got the information they needed.
"Oh no, he's not the sort to talk badly about ponies behind their backs! P-plus I don't think he really has any ponies he doens't like. He uh. He kind of thinks those hoity toity types are funny. I dunno." He sipped his coffee slowly. Sure, his brother was kind of weird but he didn't seem that strange. He mumbled in thought, "Some of the ponies he knows are kind of..." he trailed off, then shook his head, knocking against it scoldingly with a hoof. "Ahahh nevermind I'm just judging books by covers and that isn't right of me."
“Th- They do wear f- funny clothes.. sometimes,” he said, not sure how t- to respond to that properly. He softly smacked his lips at how bitter the taste was. He hadn’t drank it black in awhile, not since Spinel had given him a case of the sweet-tooth. His eyes grew wide, looking like his interest had been intrigued, but was, in reality, freaking out that Sugar wasn’t willing to talk. “N- No no! D- Do tell! I l- love a little g- gossip!” ‘… gosip?’ Celestia on high he was such a filly. He took an awkward sip of his coffee and shrugged. “O- Only if y- you’d like that is!”
Spinel quickly nodded alongside Randy, knowing the power of peer pressure and waving a hoof eagerly for Sugar to continue. "Nothing you say could possibly be as bad as the things I sometimes say about ponies, try me!"
Sugar looked between the two of them. Oh boy. He wasn't good at talking about other things like this. But he didn't want to disappoint new friends and maybe he'd be a little more at ease if he talked about it? "Well o-okay... But don't take it too seriously, I mean, ponies think rottweilers and pitbulls are bad just from looking at them, so ponies I guess uh..." he cleared his throat, losing his train of thought a moment. He drank some coffee to regain himself and continued, hunching slightly and speaking hushedly, "Some of them seem really really mean... But somehow he gets them to support those charities and that's really amazing but..." he scratched his foreleg anxiously, "I feel silly but I always get nervous meeting them. But then, ponies just.. mostly... make me nervous..."
“O- Oh, I hope w- we don’t m- make you nervous,” Randy said with a comforting smile. This was good, this was really good. They just had to keep him talking. “M- Mean huh? H- How are th- they mean?” He leaned forward a bit, his genuine interest allowing to show in order to make it seem like he was intrigued. He felt bad that this wasn’t some kind of.. fun personal visit, and that it was strictly business. But, the sooner they got this info, the sooner Randy could perhaps try to actually be his friend. Sugar seemed like the kind of pony he would get along with, regardless of who he was related too.
"Oh well uh, sometimes I just do errands when my brother has too much on his plate and they don't really... Talk to me much. I don't think they like me actually. Probably were expecting him. I-I'm not as good at talking with ponies like he is, so maybe that's it. I don't know. Scowling. Eye rolls. Snatching things without a thanks and ignoring me..." The more he continued, the more he seemed to be beating himself up, slowly sinking in to the booth and looking more and more tired. "I try. I really try, I do."
Randy had a concerned look on his face, and he pouted. “I- I’m sorry Sugar. I- I’m sure you do… They s- sound l- like the k- kind of jerks Spinel has to d- deal with. D- Do you kn- know their names? M- Maybe they’re the s- same ponies!” he said jokingly. He watched Sugar get more and more despaired, and he felt worse and worse. The poor guy really wanted to impress his brother, that much was obvious. He wanted to tell Sugar everything. That he was better than his dirt-bag brother. But, there was no way they could. Sugar could slip, and maybe even tell Candy about their ‘encounters.’ They couldn’t risk anything… he just hoped that maybe his little ‘joke’ could coax out the right information, so they could put this whole thing to rest.
"I-It's none of my business, I'm just doing a quick errand so..." he shifted uncomfortably, realizing he was sinking and quickly sat up straight. He downed the rest of his coffee and put on a big smile, looking like he was ready to get up. "Anyways I'm sure there's more to it, and he does have a lot of contacts so there are bound to be a few not so nice ones. Others have been just fine! Nice. Really nice." He looked at the two of them appologetically, "You two seem great though, I'm happy for you! Uh. Really. I'll talk with Flora, we caaan have a double date...?"
Spinel did something a bit odd. He cheerfully agreed with a nod, but then stopped Sugar as he was getting up. "Well hold on, you can't go meeting your brother like that, let me just..." He leaned up and reached out, adjusting Sugar's bowtie and collar a little, seeming to fuss around a bit, "Your tie was really off." He patted the pony assuredly, then nudged his chin up a little and gave him a wink, "There, pretty." He then sat back down with the same cheery smile as before.
Sugar was speechless, and flushed a bit with a really awkward laugh following, "Uh--uh- thank you! Uh. Y-yeah I'll uh, I'll call you later, then, L-Leo's going to get anxious if I don't- Um- Thank you for coffee but I should- You know!" He said all of this as he was clumsily trying to move away.
Randy smiled and waved after him. “I- It’s fine! Yes yes pl- please call! We would l- love to h- have dinner w- with the both of you!” Oh he was smiling on the outside, but inside he was cursing himself and beating the devil out of himself. How could he have let him get away without so much as a name? This whole thing… well it wasn’t a complete loss, but he was still pretty pissed off that they hadn’t gotten anything more than what had already been said. Regurgitated information didn’t help them, it only cemented this.. ‘relationship’ with Sugar. He continued to smile and wave though, not letting the character break until Sugar was completely out of sight.
"Chin up, it's a beautiful day!" Spinel called after Sugar, waving as he did so. Sugar tripped a moment after that, waving awkwardly and moving a bit faster. He waved at them one more time through the window as he walked off with the dog, seeming for a moment relieved to get out of there.
Spinel was grinning ear to ear. Not happily, but monstrously.
Randy, however, put his face in his hooves and let out a long, frustrated groan. “D- Dammit dammit dammit!” he said in a hushed voice. He wanted to kick something hard and break it in two. He kept his face in his hooves, not wanting to face Spinel. He felt like he had failed him, and he began feeling guilty and ashamed. “.. I- I’m sorry…” he mumbled, feeling hopeless.
"For what? He's meeting his brother today. That's great news." He leaned closer to Randy, nudging him a little and giving a soft 'psst' to get him to look up. Lifting his lapel a little, he revealed what looked like an ear piece taped under it, and he gave a smug little proud smile. "Learned a new trick~"
“Wh- What did you….” his voice trailed off, and he stared at the speaker in awe. Spinel had put a wire on him. He had put a fucking wire on him. Immediately, all those anxieties, all the worries and the shame and… it all just melted away. “… I f- fucking l- love you y- you bloody genius!!” He nearly lunged at him, and pulled him into a swift hug, before looking up at him, and giving him a big, fat, wet kiss on the lips. After holding it for a second, he broke it excitedly and looked back through the window. “Th- That’s why y- you.. th- the bowtie! Wooahaha!” he leaned back in his chair, and ran his hoof through his mane. “I c- can’t b- believe it!” he looked over at Spinel again. “I w- wasn’t kidding wh- when I called you smart y- you know!” He grinned and took Spinel’s hoof in his. “Y- You did good Sp- Spinel. R- Real." He sighed with relief and sank in his chair.
Spinel was in shock, to say the least. The outburst, then the kiss, then the compliment... He was left staring slackjawed and awkwardly with a flush slowly starting to burn up through his face. "Ah. Aheh. Well." he cleared his throat, mouth twitching to a smile but it was incredibly awkward due to his sudden embarrassment. He shook off a little as he felt a shiver go down his spine and he turned away slightly, grabbing up the creamers and trying to distract his own stupid display with them.
Randy grinned and leaned on him, softly pressing his lips to his neck. “Y- You did good love.. I- I’m really impressed.” He sighed softly and chuckled. “K- Kind of makes me w- wish I had th- thought of that in the f- first place.” He rested his cheek against him and sighed. “Th- Thanks for st- staying on your h- hooves love. Y- You’ve saved our asses.”
"We ah- we um- we don't have to keep- pretending th--" he trailed off in to a sputter, staring off blankly. He could feel his ears burning, and the strong urge to slink and hide under the table so Randy would stop looking at him acting so dumb. He made a strained elongated noise that was akin to a squeak.

rambling thoughts on the finale now that I've watched it again (spoilers, of course)
Even as I was watching initially on the discord, I was shocked by how quickly things were going by -- Luz gets murked not even 25 minutes in, for instance. I've been thinking over the series's cancellation -- I've seen it argued Dana should have cut more stuff out, but in fairness, it's hard having to make drastic cuts in a short amount of time, especially when cutting out certain characters would have meant redoing plot elements, not to mention skipping over or rewriting entire characters' backstories.
I think about Luca vs Encanto -- Luca had a lot of ideas pulled out, whereas Encanto very obviously tried to cram an entire mini-series into one movie. I like Luca better than Encanto for a bunch of different reasons, but I have to ask, Should you try to tell a simpler story better or a truncated story as best as you can? The answer seems apparent, but there is something to be said about Dana putting as much as she could on the table and all but outright asking fans to enjoy rebuilding her vision in their own. It's one thing when certain characters and ideas can be taken and made their own standalone stories, but not everything can, and given the state of the animation industry, the chances of that new show happening would've been slim, anyway.
A show like The Owl House -- a queer story cut short by a company that funded homophobic politicians while chasing woke brownie points for good publicity -- feels like the best-use case for Jenkins's idea of fanfic as repairing culture, as fans are now left to take this obviously compromised text and show our love by doing the reparative work of trying to fill in the cracks. Even if you don't engage with the fandom much, your perception of the text is still informed by these cuts, so there really isn't a reason not to think of the show as the sum of its canon and your own reparative fandom experience.
I compare TOH to SU a lot in my head, and the reason I'm willing to be so forgiving towards TOH for having a lot of dropped threads and blank spots is because, unlike SU/SUF, I don't feel like the creators wasted their time. Arguably there are episodes in season one that can be cut, but it's nothing like SU, which spent just so many episodes across every season prioritizing Steven's relationships to the humans in Beach City and neglecting its actual main cast, only for SUF to then stand up and admit it was all for fucking nothing.
Speaking of SU, though, the Collector fucking off back "to the stars" at the end gave me similar vibes to Spinel leaving with the Diamonds, though I will give SU the point here. Literally why is the Collector leaving when they've just NOW found a support system and friends? When their powers would be immensely helpful for rebuilding the Boiling Isles? "to the stars" TO SEE WHAT. WHOM. even on my first watch I thought this was fucking lame.
My main issue is that I felt like there was a big Belos-Luz beat missing, especially when their confrontation in the throne room was just him saying "oh you can't beat me." I would have rewritten that line, at least. I needed just a little extra, especially since he ended TTT with telling Luz he's doing this "for the good of [her] soul." I loved the death scene though (he's so mentally ill <3), as well as Arin Hanson's Titansona responding to Luz asking if they're "just as bad" as Belos with "do you smoke crack?"

LOVE IN THE AIR EP 3
stream of thoughts i guess
i’m starting to like the opening song xD
we start with a cute convo between two best friends. i’m salty we won’t see prapaisky story until later but we getting the crumbs. so i guess i’ll wait
‘Phi is still waiting, rain’ awwww P’payu is so adorable. we all know he already fallen head first. but let’s pretend we don’t know
omg rain stressing about when he gonna make P fall in love with him makes me laugh
sky is my fav character as of now. he is hilarious and i want him to be my bff.
the surprise of ‘him’ only being ‘you got over ple?’ is very much appreciated.
oh sky ‘step 1: show before him every day’ why do i feel like you gonna fall victim to the same strategy
rain ‘step 2: be polite’ lol you know P likes you soft spoken. take advantage of it.
rain missing P every tie for like 4 days is hilarious
sky knows that seeing someone every day is a hassle so he knwo it works.
side note does rain not realize he could ask P to tutor him in anything and thus get to spend time with him daily and act cute and get his homework done and get help form th genou of the faculty??? okay
omg P literally telling rain there are easier ways to see him than going to the garage everyday xD
and then the advice of ‘try calling him? and speak softly and politely?’ is on point and hilarious
rain reverting to his basic setting and talking down but more politely is so fun. as is P not responding. even though rain is using the honorifics he still has attitude. and then we get the cute and adorable and hilarious ‘i’m here. can we meet … please’. that killed me. P responding super quickly jsut made it better.
rain feeling sense of accomplishment is great. and cute. and i cnat wait to see the whole linguistic dynamic develop. like it will be super fun if rain stays soft spinel and polite only towards P. the rest are gonna get this dusty brat in their faces. but with P he’s gonna be an angel. well most of the time anyway lol
rain waiting patiently for P. and getting info taht he’s not the only one who waited. must’ve hurt. even though rain is still convinced he dead not like P.
‘you’re gonna get burn if you don’t know how to play with fire’ is a great advice to someone as clueless as rain.
the instant defensive brah language only to be stoped by one reminder and giving in with apology
and then just going to leave. rain you are something else. jealousy at its finest.
i must say i love the acting. so many micro expressions. on both actors. make me fall in love with the characters even more
taking his hand and just dragging him with you wa sa right choice P. you can see taht little simile in rains face as they walk out the door. it’s so precious. and soft. and just UGH they don’t stop holding hands
rain wanting to order and p shutting him down for snooping for info. and then immediately doing the same thing is hilarious. and rain just giving the info makes it even funnier
omg P saying he doesn’t see how rain can make him fall in love when he’s already deep in it is just great.
lol P is a master at getting rain to do what he wants already. i can’t imagine how it’s gonna be when they are together lol i’m guessing rain will learn how to get P to do what he wants as well as time goes.
rain going from ‘lower your voice people will hear you’ to ‘im hitting on this guy’ is the greatest flip ever. and done in like 10 secs and just one suggestion. as i said P know s how to get rain from point A to pony B with minimal effort. and rain just follows so well
P is finding rain adorable. and i’m not surprised at all. just look at his smile. so indulgent already. and the teasing. i could die happily if i got teased like taht by some like P
P wanted rain to give him food. rain shut him down. what does P do? hand feeds rain. that’s the natural progression of events. i’m in no way shape or form complaining
‘affectionate laughter and moving laughter are two different things’ they can sound similar if you’re not familiar with someone but P has a very good point. and rain is not listening at all. P just confessed to being affectionate with him. but what he does?? steam rolls right past that
stetting the boundaries. call me when you want to meet and i’ll text you when i’m at the garage. i love how much P cares about rain education. he knows how much work he has, he’s been through this already. and he as much as he wants to have fun with rain and tease him, he does not want rain to suffer. not academically. from what i gathered it’s gonna be finals for rain in the next month or at the end of this one. so he’s super busy. P has a job at the architect company (i think) and at the garage. so he’s also super busy. but they will still make time for one another and that says a lot. like if rain didn’t like P at all he wouldn’t go to such lengths to ‘get back at him’
omg P saying ‘switch stupid with cute’ is like it’s what i ghad in mind this whole time. i knwo you don’t like to be called stupid. but i didn’t want to give in to you too much and call you cute. but now whenever rain will hear P calling him stupid he’ll immediately think about how stupid is supposed to be replaced with cute. and i LOVE THAT.
also rains reaction is precious ‘that’s cheating P’ yep just sit there for 30secs and calm your heart. it’s probably trying to jump out of your chest. i know mine would. that SMILE WAS SO ADORABLE
omg rain sleeping in frost row is giving me anxiety. him checking his phone just elevates it. getting lower is not hiding your phone rain. it’s still extremely visible.
okay so rain still swears at everything and everyone.
look how happy he is now that he knows he’ll see his P later that day. just adorable.
not P taking a break to read and respond to rain texts. they are so gone for each other.
rain being a little shit is my fav thing. and P threatening his employees to leave the snacks at the office is hilarious
rain just booking it out of the class and ignoring his homework l, best friend and crush (or is it ex crush already??) to get to the garage and leave snack is fantastic
i love how P is so invested in rains education. and compliments his work as he sees he’s talented. and coming from P, who we know is talented is a big deal.
love the staring and rain getting shy. as well as him actually preparing separate snacks for P.
i’m sorry what was that?? the slow lean in. ‘pack your stuff and join me quickly, understood?’ ‘yes’ and a HEAD PAT ?? all in like 30 secs?? i’m living for this. and the LOOK INTO EACH OTHER’s EYES?? while smiling??? and being cute??? makes me feel super single
rain jsut not caring he has a tight deadline.
the employees gossiping is great. eating sth hot and spicy and getting a happy ending would be great.
he’s gonna forget the project tomorrow morning isn’t he?
omg this child is me. having 6 alarms and not waking up to a single of them. or accidentally setting them for pm instead of am. that also happened multiple times. but i live alone. so i’m screwed if that happens.
poor baby. getting scolded for giving the work after deadline is the worst. it’s his fault and you can see rain acknowledge it. he’s not giving any excuses and just asks for it to be accepted since it’s not much after the deadline which was an early morning. when met with a refusal he apologizes and doesn’t push. he knows he’s in the wrong. it hurts since he’s confident with his design. but also i feel like thai was important for him to experience. P was telling him multiple times taht things get harder in later years. and that he wants him to manage his time properly. rain fucked up this time. he will have to make sure it won’t happen again. his friends can see he’s affected by what happened. but you can see very clearly how he’s rejecting ple and her touch as well as invite to share things with her. things that he would deal as failures. he doesn’t want that with her. she’s just a crush. someone who he want to see him as a great person. so he’s not comfortable with getting comfort from her. but then he goes to P. seemingly without even realizing. he’s been standing in the rain for some time. and probably crying. when saigah goes out to get him inside he’s first words are ‘is P here?’ immediately followed by ‘nevermind’. and you can see him kind of light up when he asks for his P. and then his face falls again as he realizes that nope P is not here and he doesn’t know why he even bothered to come here. it’s not like they are close or anything. but he still came. and as soon as P knows rain was waiting for him in the rain he goes to him. also we can see rain is perfectly at home in Ps room. not shy at all. just comfortable and safe. sad and disappointed in himself. he lets himself just sit there and breathe while waiting for his P to arrive and help him through this. and P does. he immediately sees that something is wrong. and he knew it already since he knows rain enough to realize he wouldn’t just come and stand in the rain without even knowing if anyone is inside of the garage if it wasn’t something important and bad. and then he does the best thing he could do. that is doesn’t say anything and just opens his arms and gathers rain in them. gives him a very tight hug. and tells him ‘it’s okay. P is here now. you can let go. P is here to hold you up.’ he looks him over and then just holds him. tells him he’s there to talk and to care and that he will help him fix this. because he gets it. he understands and he cares and he wants to help. he doesn’t like seeing rain like this.
i feel like rain is not in tune with his emotions or just doesn’t understand why he feels so comfortable with P. he doesn’t know why he could put up a front in front of his bff and his ‘crush’ but he folded like paper in Ps arms. but even he doesn’t understand why he’s still grateful for the comfort he got.
P is right. he tells him straight and without coddling that the teacher is right. and rain acknowledges it straight away. he knows it’s his fault. then P gives some good life advice. it’s gonna be like this from now on. the pressure will not diminish rather it will grow. you have to lear to take responsibility for your actions. that doesn’t mean it’s not gonna hurt to miss deadline or to get criticized.
the way P came back and just pushed rain into his stomach to tell him ‘what’s done is done. don’t dwell on it. focus on the next project.’ gave me butterflies. and him telling rain to dry his hair properly was so good. ‘don’t get sick. i don’t want to take care of you.’ yeah right. P your gone gone for rain. you would take care of him even if he wasn’t sick. and we just got the confirmation of that.
what is it with bls and lending your phone to people ?? i would never. lol
also P being into rain from the start. even before the car fix in the rain was great. kinda obvious but i still liked taht. cause rain was very much into P from the car fix in the rain. he just is a bit oblivious lol
and taht concludes my notes in words of LITA
if anyone read up till the end
wow
thank you

I feel like I really wanna get this off my chest. Look, I don’t hate Connie as a character. She’s perfectly fine and nice enough and I’m perfectly fine with Conniverse as a ship even if I REALLY don’t agree that it’s the best and ONLY true ship for Steven like everyone says it is and that Connie is Steven’s one true soulmate like everyone makes her out to be. With all that being said, I can’t help but feel like Connie became a HUGE Mary Sue ever since late season 2 of Steven Universe.
Okay, since this is gonna be a LOOOONG one, I'm gonna answer them all separately on the same post XDD
Also I would advise you not to read this post if you're a Connie fan. There's no outright hate towards her (okay maybe a little bit...) but there sure ain't any love towards her either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, remember!!! No hate to other users in the comments, please!!!
I agree with you on some people calling it the "only true ship for Steven"... people who say this about any franchise are people with no imagination XDDD (like, okay, I know that there are some characters from some franchises that I ship ONLY with one other character, but that doesn't mean it's the ONLY valid ship!!!)
And also, YES. At first I was reluctant to answer this entire ask series, but I AGREE WITH YOU. Here we go, guys... welcome to the "Connie Is A Mary Sue Ask Series"!!!
2. Yes, a lot more good points! Now that you mention it, I have noticed that she is often "the right one" and is always very mature in what she says. And yeah, she's only a human teenager with a few what, weeks? months? (months at MOST) of experience with swordfighting... and is suddenly considered an expert? It's got me thinking - WHY did the writers make Connie a swordfighter? I mean yeah, it adds flavour to the story... but it still is a very Mary Sue kind of thing.
3. ARRGHHHH I KNOW!!! This is why those few episodes are some of my LEAST favourite episodes in the show - Connie just??? blames him??? She blames him for doing a righteous thing to save his friend, a friend who later gets killed in front of Steven, who is A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD, WHO IS STRANDED ON AN ALIEN PLANET BEING HUNTED BY KILLER ALIENS AND ROBOTS - and when he comes back she's like "We could have done that together wahhh" LIKE BRO!!! HE WAS LITERALLY TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!!!!! AJHDISDISHDI (sorry, I went off there. Carry on.)
4. (Sorry, i couldnt find a part 4 in my inbox...? either a tumblr glitch or a typo... it doesnt matter either way tho, im sure the rest of the ask series works without it ^^) OOOOOHHOHOHOHO ANOTHER GOOD THING TO MENTION!!! SHE NEVER APOLOGISES!!! Legit, Connie does this crappy thing and ruins Steven's life for a couple of weeks and then NEVER apologises about it. Does she have ANY idea how much of his PTSD was caused by her? I bet she doesn't. (Also just gonna quickly mention that Spinel did one crappy thing in one day and then immediately apologised for it, claiming that she knows it caused a lot of damage to their relationship from the beginning. Call me crazy, but I absolutely believe that what Connie did to Steven was WORSE than what Spinel did (specifically TO Steven tho - I mean, Connie didn't try to destroy a planet XDDD)
5. A thing I often say to friends and fans is that Connie was a good character before Season 4, and only before Season 4. "The New Crystal Gems" is a fun episode, and I love watching it, but I cannot STAND Connie at the end of it. Suddenly, Connie is the "mature adult" who orders around the "superpowered children"!!! And YES, i know, Lapis and Peridot were very childish in that episode - but tell me, why do you think they acted that way in that SPECIFIC episode? just to make Connie even more of a Mary Sue? Yep.
Anon, you're on to something.
(ALSO I KNOW, Lion!! how could you?! You're disrespecting the good name of your voice actor TnT)
6. THE LIST GOES ON, ANON!!! IT GOES ON!!!!!!! (Also ITS TRUE, the protagonist's girlfriend is the "only character who can talk to them"!!!! Writers, come on. The only time this trope works is in How To Train Your Dragon. It doesn't work in Steven Universe.)
7. I think you've basically cemented my dislike for Connie x Steven now. He deserves SO much better than her. And its true, she is "so perfect!!!" Maybe the writers should have paid more attention to Jamie's play. Maybe then they would have realised that Connie has no struggles by Season 5 and 6 and just dissolved into a very unlovable character. (Also can I just say, the first ask from this anon started with "I don't hate Connie, and I'm fine with Connverse..." and then escalated to this XDDD This is iconic, thank you so much)
8. YUP. YUP, YUP, YUP. SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW LARS DIED IN STEVEN'S ARMS WHILE HE WAS GONE, AND WE NEVER SEE HER FIND OUT??? If she KNEW, if she KNEW what he went through... gosh damn. Maybe she WOULD have been a better character in Season 5 if Steven just broke down crying about his trauma from that adventure in front of her, and she would have realised how much of an a**hole she had been about it. "Steven you left me behind and gave up to the enemy when you promised we'd be together forever!" "Connie, if I had taken you, you would have been killed. Lars didn't even make it out alive. I gave up to protect you! If I didn't, we wouldn't have been together ever again! But look, I'm back! I'm safe!" "Oh... I'm sorry. You're right." HEY CARTOON NETWORK CAN I BE A WRITER FOR-
And yeah, I think that's the last ask in this series. Thank you, my dear anon, for allowing me to sublimate all my hatred towards Connie in a post like this XDD
And I'm sorry for anyone who actually decided to read all this. I hope that maybe some people will now see why I really dislike Connverse, and how in my opinion, it's ten times more toxic than Stevinel ever could be!!!
But of course, remember that everyone has different opinions. You are completely entitled to like Connie as a character, and I have nothing against that. Don't let my opinions override yours!! Love who you want and don't let anyone change that!!!
Thanks Anon, you clearly put a lot of thought in this ^^ I feel like I've just collaborated on a huge project with you, somehow?? XDDD (and i'M SO SORRY THIS IS SUCH A LATE RESPONSE!!!! All of these asks were from mid January - I'm the worst I know)

93. Partners in crime
Charles takes his sunglasses off. The skin around his eyes is a shade paler than the rest of his face, but his eyes themselves are stunning, his irises a mosaic of green and blue and brown, their corners drooping in a way that he makes look positively beguiling. It would even be childlike if not for the scruff on his chin; with the goatee, however, he only looks halfway angelic.
And he's so good at playing innocent, Charles is.
They stand on the balcony of an apartment that Charles says belongs to a friend, overlooking the slope of the rocky land down towards the sea. A girdle of rosy-pink curves above the water--the last rays of the sun bending over the mountains--and the Casino de Monte Carlo glitters like a crown jewel in the plaza below, its twin spires swathed in golden light. The blue LED headlights of expensive cars glance off the exterior, and a few guests pause to watch a new, cherry-red Ferrari Roma cruise the roundabout.
Sebastian sniffs, adjusting his sleeves. It probably doesn't even get ten kilometers to the liter.
"I grew up here, did you know that?" Charles asks with a jaunty smile, folding his elbows on the wrought iron railing.
"I knew that," Sebastian replies amicably, "because you never fucking shut up about it."
"Are you going to be this touchy for the entire operation? I can always swap you with Daniel, he is in fact very charming."
Daniel is charming. He's also a hustler and a card shark, not a thief, and he'll be at his best at the poker tables, ready to distract security.
"Lewis would be a better match for you, I think," Sebastian remarks. "If you haven't seen him at work, you should take a day out of your busy schedule to watch." He fidgets with his cuff links; they're red spinel and gold, desperately out of fashion, and the toggle on one of them is a little loose. But they were a gift from Charles, a few years ago, and secretly Sebastian has started to believe that they're good luck.
He hopes they'll counterbalance Charles's chronically abysmal fortunes.
"Anyway," Charles says pointedly, watching Sebastian out of the corner of his eye. "All that I mean is, it is good to be home. Maybe someday I will show you more of it."
"Oh? I thought I'd pretty much seen the whole thing this afternoon." Sebastian raises his chin, looks into the evening sky. No stars, yet, and the pink is fading. He hears Charles laugh weakly. "Come on. We're doing this or we're not."
"We're doing this." Charles checks his phone, eyes lowering and making his dark lashes flutter. "Max and Lewis are in position. Yuki estimates he will need ten minutes after we plant the... the bee."
"The bug," Sebastian corrects mildly.
"Ha! The bug, yes." The device hangs on a chain around Charles's neck, a silver rectangle smaller than a postage stamp that matches his other necklaces well enough to go unnoticed. He has left the top two buttons of his burgundy-colored shirt open, a sliver of skin just showing under the jewelry. "Bees, those are your project, I heard? I would never have thought. One of the greatest thieves in Europe, and you raise bees."
"Well." It's not worth getting into, Sebastian decides, so he just shakes his head and smiles. "Everyone needs a hobby."
Night's languid fall brings a change in the wind, and the breeze that passes by him tastes of salt. A normal person would be nervous. He thinks, possibly, Charles is nervous, from the way that he momentarily worries his lower lip--although Charles is just as far from normal as he is.
Both of their phones buzz--that will be George, signaling them to start.
Charles slips his sunglasses back on. "Let's go rob a casino."
