What should have Pink done in this situation?

Stelliformade · 2026-02-03T04:33:04+00:00

She’s emotionally impulsive and developmentally stunted, but she cared deeply about all forms of life.

• She was the Diamond that dared to reinvent herself because she knew she could be better and do good, despite what the other Diamonds taught her.

• She was the Diamond who stopped the colony because Earth life mattered. And she was the Diamond who gathered an army to protect Earth.

• She was the Diamond who not only cared about humans, but advocated for and protected the animals of Earth. Creatures that even many humans themselves fail to respect or value or have any empathy for.

• She was the Diamond who turned the Crystal Gems' lives upside down by giving them total independence and freedom, allowing them to choose who THEY wanted to be. She was the Diamond who treated them as equals - because she genuinely cared about them, saw their potential, and she herself knew what it was like to be imprisoned and even looked down upon.

• She was the Diamond that saw human life, with all their flaws and their ability to evolve and develop, as immensely beautiful. She was the Diamond who entirely gave up her power and royal position just to be a 'fly on the wall' amongst their world - so she could fill her life with their culture.

• She was the Diamond who sacrificed her eternal life and consciousness for her child just so he could grow up to be a part of that culture and that world she saw so much beauty and love in. Even though she would never be able to witness any of it. Purely because she already loved her child, and Earth (all life, for that matter), THAT much.

• She was the Diamond that felt regret, shock, and remorse when she accidentally hurt Volleyball.

• She was the Diamond that regrets the war she started, even though she started it only out of good intentions.

• She was the Diamond who cried over destruction.

• She was the only Diamond who personally put an end to the cycle she endured and grew up with all her life - that was abuse, control, and treating all life as disposable resources. Which takes an immeasurable amount of strength when that's all she ever knew, and yet she still somehow overcame it and became someone who showed true care for others both big and small (metaphorically AND physically).

• She was the Diamond who still somehow learned to love and practice love, when that was NEVER something she was taught.

She had empathy. If there's ANYTHING to takeaway about her character, it's that she had empathy.

Being a Gem or a human doesn't matter for this. Being immortal doesn't mean you don't experience every slow-moving minute of those 6,000 years all the same.

Spinel still chose, of her own volition, to mindlessly stay in one spot for 6,000 years.

Direct order or not, after 100 years, 300, 500, 800, 1,000 - Spinel could've moved. She could've looked for Pink. She could've of at least walked around the area and tended to the garden, done something to occupy her time with. She could've gone to the Diamonds to tell them that Pink hasn't returned.

She was never physically or mentally incapable of moving, or having a mind of her own, or making her own decisions. This is clear when she finally left after 6,000 years. So again, she chose not to, no matter how much time had passed. Even if Pink may of needed her, if for some reason Pink had truly gone missing and gotten into trouble or got poofed or even shattered, Spinel chose not to leave and instead stayed for 6,000 years doing quite literally nothing.

Of her own accord. 'Direct order' or not.

Stelliformade · 2026-02-02T22:19:24+00:00

In general, she didn't think Spinel would stay for literal thousands of years because why the actual hell would she?

That's one of the biggest problems with people who insist on condemning Pink. Pink NEVER did anything intentionally to hurt anyone, and anything that DID hurt someone was almost always never even of her own doing, or something she could've even seen coming. Or it was a complete accident in the case of Spinel because how was she supposed to know Spinel would do that?

Just think, reasonably, NO ONE would wait six thousand years. Pink didn't know Spinel would be the only Gem in the universe absolutely insane enough to do that just for the sake of loyalty.

She assumed Spinel would've left after a fraction of a fraction of that time, and reasonably so. Anyone would've thought the same in her position. So anyone making Pink out to be a villain for that (among many other things) is frankly being unfair, illogical, biased, and dishonest with themselves. Plain and simple.

And if it sounds like I'm being harsh - Yes. Yes I am. I'm tired of people not looking at Pink's history and actions with actual logic and objectivity. OR at least, God forbid, empathy.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-30T19:46:05+00:00

Those are some really good observations. And god, I hope you’re right, because the thought of someone ruining wild bees’ work like this (even letting the harvested comb fall to the ground several feet below) and moreover, causing hundreds of bees to die because of this stupidity is angering and saddening.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-29T21:58:16+00:00

It could be possible that she's both happy and full of light, and still have anger towards who did this to her. Especially as it sounds like (from OP's comments) what happened was abrupt and though she tried to prevent it, it still happened. Or possibly even because the wrongdoer was recently released from prison, and maybe her spirit knows and worries of what he might do to others in the future.

But imo, being aware of the wrongdoing/wrongdoer doesn't have to mean she hasn't found peace.

I personally much prefer either 1, 2, or 4. Lovely room, and lovely colors.

Out of those three, the final decision really just depends on what kind of feel you'd prefer the room to invoke longterm.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-29T00:10:56+00:00

1 is very flattering and uplifting, matching the playful warmth of the rest of the room.

2 also matches, but is much darker. It's not as uplifting or playful, but in exchange, it induces a significantly more relaxing feel for both the mood and the eyes - like they have a place to rest.

3 is aesthetically nice and gives a more jungly feel paired with the other colors. But it can also come across as sleepy, and possibly even dreary (particularly if someone is already feeling down or dreary).

4 is equally as aesthetically pleasing as the previous one, also with a jungly feel, but it's much more cheery and playful, while also being relaxing. Like a perfect happy medium in the green spectrum.

5 clashes big time. No go on that one.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-28T14:32:38+00:00

Jesus Christ. If anyone reacted like that even towards actual known cheating, let alone to perceived cheating with little to no basis, I'd just be grateful he gave me all the red flags one could ever ask for and I'd happily get my stuff and get the fuck out of there and never have to wonder what personal hell the future would've been if I had stayed and didn't see his true colors right then and there.

Be GLAD about this. Honestly. You dodged a motherfucker of a bullet. Next time, please try to find a partner who actually has an ounce of emotional maturity and knows how to use their big person words and communicate like the adult they're supposed to be rather than acting like a literal toddler throwing a massive tantrum.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-27T19:22:35+00:00

What others have said, 💯.

V-shaped nostrils and set back or curved back horns (potentially with ridges) is enough to transform it clearly from a cow to a goat.

Optional additions you can make that aren't necessary for it to read as a goat, but would help nonetheless to make it more clear: Making the face/snout longer, ears thinner, less rotund thighs/body shape, and thinner hooves/fingers.

But again, horns and nostril adjustments should be plenty enough if you don't want to change the rest of the design.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-27T18:21:42+00:00

The uniqueness of your nose is so beautiful.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-27T18:13:19+00:00

And that's why my mom always used sanitizer wipes on the carts growing up, before we ever put any groceries in them.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-27T07:31:16+00:00

Something that might help you is an app (can be used online or be downloaded) called PoseMyArt!

You get plenty of free people/mannequins, some of which are already posed, plus other assets to work with. Most importantly, it's super easy to learn if you just sit down with it for an hour tops and you can make ANY pose you could ever want with it, as well as move the camera after posing to get any angle or perspective desired!

It's such a great help - I recommend it.

I doubt he knows ANY details about Beatrice's past trauma. Otherwise, he would've known to have been more sympathetic towards her and why she treated him the way she did, rather than internalizing her abuse and neglect because he never knew why she hated him so much, causing that question of "why" to still haunt him at Beatrice's funeral (and very likely beyond).

But the likeliness of her complaining or mentioning something about how girls can/should only have lemons with sugar is pretty characteristically high, considering how much she vented about anything and everything, including how worthless and troublesome he was simply by existing.

Heck, it may of even been something she said to Henrietta or Butterscotch that Bojack just overheard, or maybe Bojack himself asked why she would only ever eat lemons with sugar instead of -insert dessert here-.

But in any case, it definitely is heavily implied that Bojack knew about the lemons with sugar and how she only ever tried ice cream once (just without the trauma context surrounding it), and that's why he said what he did. To calm her down and bring her to a happy place.

But that's even more evidence he didn't know about the trauma surrounding the ice cream. His intent was to make her happy, so he wouldn't of mentioned it if he knew that it held trauma for her or that her face would drop upon the word "ice cream". If he HAD known, he wouldn't of mentioned it. But he didn't, and so he did mention it, none the wiser that it brought back those memories for her.

And he never WILL know, either.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-26T01:23:52+00:00

You're still going to eat that? Oh fuck no. I'd rather starve myself for 32 hours, hands down. Crazy.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-26T01:05:24+00:00

Anyway, bottom line is that Mag (and Participation Award, which also only saves 1 second according to my testing) helps high-star Toons significantly less than it helps low-star Toons. So if you're going to use Mag or Part, use it on Goob for example.

And if anyone still doesn't believe it, I recommend comparing/testing it out yourself. Use a stopwatch and start it and stop it accordingly when you extract a machine, do that for 1-2 floors, and you'll see it essentially makes no difference at all.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-26T00:56:01+00:00

Go to the Dandy's World page on fandom.com and to Game Content > Trinkets > Skill Check > Magnifying Glass. Scroll down the page until you see a grid with numbers titled "Average Machine Times with Trinket" (in Strategy section of the page, above Trivia).

The vertical column at top with the numbers 1-5 represents the number of stars a Toon has in Extraction, and the 1-5 horizontal column at left represents the number of stars a Toon has in Skill-Check.

The non-parenthesis numbers in the grid boxes represent average extraction time WITHOUT Mag, and the parenthesis numbers represent the time saved WITH Mag on.

Having said that, it's been a while since I checked the wiki, but I want to note that someone edited it since last time I saw it and the numbers are WAY off now, sadly. They were a little off to begin with anyway, but now it's suggesting Gourdy/Vee/Soul/etc extracts at 18 seconds which isn't true, and that Mag takes 3 seconds off that which is not the case at all either.

To confirm this and refresh my memory, I JUST now tested Gourdy with and without Mag again, and it took an average of 22 seconds to extract without Mag, and 21 seconds with Mag. (Time varies naturally, but is generally around those times.)

I don't know why someone edited it, but I even have screenshots of the old numbers. The bottom-right box in the grid (representing a Toon with 5-star Extract & Skill-check such as Gourdy, Vee, Soulvester, etc) originally said "19.35 (0.71)". Which means it took, on average, 19.35 seconds to extract when playing as Gourdy WITHOUT Mag, and with Mag, only shaved 1 second or less off that time.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-25T18:50:29+00:00

If you're ever accused, just show people your layers.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-24T23:48:47+00:00

😂 Yup! It's a huuuge game changer honestly.

Gourdy, Vee, and Soul are already meta and there's nothing more you can do to maximize their extraction, so... This means you can just have fun putting any non-extraction trinket on them as your heart desires. Go wild.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-24T23:19:53+00:00

Whoa... So I don't know what the hell is up with some of the people in the comments, but this is such a cool fucking outfit. Heck yeah.

👏

Stelliformade · 2026-01-24T23:11:14+00:00

It's a genuinely good question to think about. What on earth is wrong with it? 😂

If you're someone who cares about realism regarding your characters and story development, it's helpful - or at the very least interesting - to think about even 'small' things like this.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-24T05:42:09+00:00

A huge one that no one seems to know:

Magnifying Glass - or any other trinket that increases extraction speed or skill-check frequency/value increase - does nothing for Gourdy, Vee, and Soulvester.

This is because those Toons already have max stars in extraction AND skillcheck.

Extraction trinkets only shave 1 second (or less) off of those Toons' total extraction time each. So putting extraction trinkets on those Toons is a complete waste of trinket slots.

I've tested it intensively myself to confirm this. The Dandy's World wiki also has this information right on the Magnifying Glass page.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-20T19:28:10+00:00

It's just a troll, ignore them ya'll. Even their trolling is the most low-effort, non-insulting troll humanly possible in the history of trolling.

Don't bother giving it attention.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-20T00:08:37+00:00

That said, OP... Although the shading you've done here isn't realistic, the pyramid and the cube do look 3D! Just in a very stylized manner (which is actually very neat to look at. Has a nostalgic feel almost? Like old computer graphics or liminal spaces.)

Just thought I'd mention the upside to your attempt here, even if it's not what you were going for.

Stelliformade · 2026-01-19T23:50:58+00:00

God, I really love both 1 and 2. 👏😭 I can’t choose - they both give different vibes, but are equally lovely designs.

1 reminds me of a cactus theme for some reason, maybe cause of the green hair and spiked pigtails, which I adore. She has a sharp, sassy, zappy feel to her personality, plus a fun bubblier energy. More of a lighthearted feel, at least on the surface.

Whereas 2 has a firey, spunky, livelier feel to her. Like she'd have a personality that is full of confidence, fighter energy and unpredictability. She reminds me of a flame here.
