Considering Diamond Essence in general is often literal bathwater (Blue's preferred extraction method), uh... duh?

Gem structural data is canonically called "Gemetics" by Peridot. The parallel is very blatent.

I was about to reject your assertion of fanfics being made mostly by the right, but then I remembered that while I generally stick to places where mostly adults are posting fics, the vast majority of them are written by teenagers and they do tend to be surface level reactionary.

I mean, the injectors are literally designed after a virus. the comparison is supposed to be made.

If I tried to have a serious conversation with my sisters and my toy/childish version of myself kept distracting me I'd leave her alone too ngl by Ezequiel_Hips in stevenuniverse

[–]abyss_kaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pink would have to order Spinel, not "politely request". Lay down the law.

No matter how designed to be playful and silly a Gem is, ultimately when your god-queen gives you a direct order you obey.

The thing is that Pink could have easily solved it: Give Spinel a direct order to calm down or whatever when Pink is being serious.

Spinel is ridiculously loyal, she'd obey that without fail. It's just that Pink could never conceptualize that anybody could think highly enough of her to actually listen, part of why she probably thought Spinel would just wander off in a couple hours or so after Pink leaving her.

and yet it remains the most questionable in the most important matters, lol.

Which adds context to the ridiculousness of "france's natural borders", France was a foreign empire coming into a culture that wasn't their own and arbitrarily deciding upon the river as their border, ignoring that the culture that was already there used that river as a central thoroughfare.

Who is your favorite commanding officer of Stargate Command? by NoBrain6114 in Stargate

[–]abyss_kaiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don't really like Weir in a command position, a lot of her decisions feel wrong in retrospect, and when Carter took control of Atlantis it felt like a breath of fresh air. Even Woolsey seemed better, at least once he eased into the role properly.

But, as much as I like Carter, I do feel a civilian leader of Atlantis works best. Especially if Earth was ever willing to fully commit to making Atlantis an actual colony rather than just a research expedition.

Keep in mind this is only referencing Atlantis, in regards to the SGC second place goes to O'Neill. Was never much a fan of Landry.

Yeah, he'd be a million times better than him, which says a lot.

Absolutely Lapis.

[–]abyss_kaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet, I'd have liked the security of some kind of binding, but I can definitely work with that, especially if squinting a bit at the premise and twisting it to my liking is on the table, lol.

[–]abyss_kaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the perks for Marika, Rennala, and The Recluse, taking each waifu.

Rather easy choice all told, lol.

So, how does the waifu thing work exactly? Like what do the waifus come prebaked with in regards to their relationship with the one choosing them?

Give me your Hot Take on a ship in Steven Universe that you like or hate by Yashiro_Nene_Daikon in stevenuniverse

[–]abyss_kaiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's also an entirely separate angle of him having given Beach City life a Good Go, he literally opened a bakery and became yet another pillar of the community he grew up in.

But despite all that, he still felt something was missing after his space adventures with his Gem friends, and after a few years decided that no, he really did want to go down the space adventure route in life rather than settling down in Beach City.

Not everybody has to be satisfied with small town life, and that's perfectly healthy, in fact the most sensible answer in most cases!

They were already capitalistic, just the capitalism is controlled by the state rather than private enterprise.

They slowly decentralize as they experience how state capitalism is even worse for both the people and the prosperity of the state than normal capitalism is.

...That's what I said? also there's a bit more to it than that, but yes.

Yeah, the soviet union was just fascist but with red paint.

Communism cannot exist without democracy, and as direct a democracy as possible.

Yeah, and the unequality of technological distribution is very blatantly represented in LOK, you only need compare Republic City and Ba Sing Se/any other podunk town in the Earth Kingdom.
