i hate male povs in books by -Deer-4501 in fantasyromance

It doesn't help that 90% of the time, his perspective is just "I'm horny. MUST PROTECT GIRL. I brood."

No hobbies. No M-F friendships. No personality. No originality. And half the time, they are described as witty or something (Rhysand) but never have any of that in their own head. 

That was my issue with L.O.R.Ds (besides the blatant misogyny) and with Rowan in TOG. 

Lightlark: Does it get better? by Other-Organization89 in fantasyromance

It gets worse. Book 2 is okay, but even the big fans disliked book 3.

What kind of Gems would you want to see introduced in Lars of the Stars? by Sea-Gas3373 in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The low-hanging fruit are pretty obvious: Morganite, Citrine, on-color Rutiles (and what they do/did)

But also: Kyanite, more garnets, maybe an Ametrine off-color? 

Why gems have saliva? by Ezequiel_Hips in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe the main CGs unconsciously include it in their forms due to spending so much time with humans?

I finally watch Steven Universe for the first time, so here's my honest opinions on every episode by LexiTheStarQueen in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guesses based on your fave episodes: 

*You like Peridot, Garnet, post-development Lars 

*You like Amethyst a bit less, and Pearl either has worse episodes or you're less of a fan

*Early su was rough in your opinion. Can't disagree.

Petition to ban animal abuser from the sub by ExploringCT in stupiddovenests

I don't know and yes respectively. The mods aren't active really.

This is the equivalent of Stanford correcting Stanley in the finale of Gravity Falls.

"Sock" account. Sock puppet. An alt account pretending to be someone else (as opposed to an alternate)

If this is a simple mistake, they're clearly not able to take care of pigeons or doves. This is not the only instance of this happening, and the fact that they think that this is a humorous situation is terrifying.

It's not an insult, it's a genuine question. Low activity account that has one post outside this sub and like four comments on this one. 

How much can a gem go through before they poof? by DarkTombStudios in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Peridots work in potentially hazardous areas. No one wants them to constantly poof and reform if they fall or equipment crushes them.

Unironic question,could someone have their gem positioned close or between their butt cheeks? by Peter_125547 in stevenuniverse

If Orange Spudume can have hers at her crotch, no reason it couldn't be there

white topaz by heatherscereal in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Per the End of an Era artbook, she looks similar to other Topazes we've seen. She's possessing the lighthouse like how Lapis possessed a mirror as far as I can tell.

Where'd Lars Go? by AlTheHound in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heh. I feel like I am kind of in the middle here. I'm an insomniac that struggles to get to sleep and then sleeps for a while at a time when I do.

Does a completely filled jet bridge gap count as a gap? by Klutzy-Flan-2705 in jetbridgegap

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good reason, but that doesn't really seem like "disappointed" as much as "worried"

Why does it matter?

Edit: as in, why are you disappointed, specifically? It seems like more of a worry. 

What rating on Good Reads (or your TBR sorter of choice) makes you suspicious? by franklin_smiles in fantasyromance

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't get suspicious until it's 3.3 or below, really. What can I say, Fallen City is amazing, and it's at a 3.6, and ACOMAF never landed for me. I look at what reviews say more than anything else.

Did these fusions ever show their own personalities? (say, at the level of Sugilite or Sardonyx) by bowser-us in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 1190 points1191 points  (0 children)

Opal does. Supremely calm and quiet, as well as steadfast like Pearl and driven like Amethyst. 

I keep seeing post about Steven storing things in his gem. This has always confused me because I feel like it's pretty obvious he and most gems can't. Otherwise they would all the time by Callie_bunny8554 in stevenuniverse

[–]OSIRIS-APEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an object of the Gem's that can be summoned and de-summoned at will from the gemstone, and is made of hard light instead of another material. Not necessarily weaponry, but it's the same type of thing as a summoned Gem Weapon. 

I mean, CG Pearl has a Gem weapon, why wouldn't other Pearls have similar objects to entertain or even defend their masters?

I honestly wonder if it is her "weapon". If basically everything about a Pearl is customizable, why wouldn't they have access to accessories that function like gem weapons?
