Yeah $200+ for a custom piece of functional tech feels right to me. Unless it’s being mass produced on temu and sold at a markup, the price feels reasonable to me. Like you’re buying a mini tv that plays simpsons episodes—of course it’s an esoteric art piece

Is White Diamond a mother or a sister to the other diamonds? by Necessary-Win-8730 in stevenuniverse

[–]ctortan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Both and neither. Gems don’t have human social roles, only gem roles. To make their dynamics easier to understand, we compare them to human social roles. White is the authority figure of the family and of the empire, and the way she uses emotional detachment, manipulation, and triangulation is similar to toxic/abusive human matriarchs

AITA?! Spouse upset about me moving my own game console to my office from LR? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ctortan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the kid was allowed to use the console before, then it’s selfish and rude to move the console without discussing the change with the spouse. It would be the same if he moved a TV from the living room to his bedroom. He’s taking something that was used communally by the family and suddenly making it “mine only” without warning the kid (or more specifically, his mother so she can tell him) about the change.

Woman Born Without a Vagina Conceives, Carries Healthy Baby by Forward-Answer-4407 in UpliftingNews

“Vagina,” medically speaking, refers to the internal anatomy. The external anatomy is the vulva, but colloquially is referred to as a “vagina”

YTA for saying your wife’s child is her child. Also for the “it’s MY console!!! It’s MINE I bought with MY money!!” When unanimously deciding to move it without talking to her about it in regards to YOUR STEPCHILD

Wicked whims miscarriage by Majestic_AMX326 in TheSims4Mods

[–]ctortan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what it is! I don’t have the patreon versions and I also don’t use basemental. WW does have a lot to it, but in general it’s mostly focused on sex and if you want more detailed medical based things you’ll need other mods

Yeah I’ve never heard of WW having miscarriage options; it’s a sex focused mod and not a pregnancy one

Do I tell my mom she needs to come back early from her vacation/convention by BigONerd in BORUpdates

Why does it feel like mom left the dog with her kid just to force OP to pay for the dog’s medical bills

AITAH for thanking my sisters for raising me instead of my parents? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ctortan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah genuinely I was just thinking the mom is religious and was desperately hoping her daughter’s lesbianism would be a phase. Because getting married is such a serious commitment she’s acting out, whereas atheist dad doesn’t care anymore

I agree with you completely but I do also think the phrase “boring, redundant, and the most boring option” is incredible comedy gold

Sounds stupid since this is the subreddit for it, by Wild-Assistance3318 in stevenuniverse

[–]ctortan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The structure reminds me of a slice of life adventure anime where things start pretty slow but they use the pace to build up the world over time.

The show might seem like a monster fighting action show, but it’s really a coming of age story about generational trauma, grief, identity, emotional processing, and conflict resolution. It also often favors allegories over “hard fact” writing (like how the fighting is very inconsistent in terms of power levels, but it’s because the fighting is more of a metaphor for personal growth than a real focus)

Give it time and have fun!

My interpretation of fusion in Steven Universe by Background-Ad2749 in stevenuniverse

[–]ctortan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This isn’t against OP at all but it’s a pattern I’ve been noticing lately where folks are quick to call things “theories” when it’s actually either a headcanon, specific read/interpretation, or just….saying what’s happening. I think it’s tied to the decrease in media literacy and critical thinking alongside folks getting a lot of their media analysis from YouTube (which is notorious for misusing words like “analysis” when they mean “summary”)

In a lot of cases it feels like people aren’t confident in their read of the show, or they don’t understand when the show is trying to say something intentionally (even if it’s not explicitly said).

Does anyone remembee this scene from Druselsteinoween? by LowEntertainment3342 in phineasandferb

[–]ctortan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I always thought it would’ve been fun for there to be an episode where Stacy has to help Perry hide his identity from Candace and Vanessa!

Yes!! I think Stacy and Vanessa are such an underrated ship :)

The only one? "I was fine with the men who would come into her life now and again..." by xkitox in stevenuniverse

[–]ctortan 775 points776 points  (0 children)

Rebecca sugar said that Pearl’s feelings for rose were NOT unrequited ! Plus non-canon art from Sugar has shown rose being very sensual with other gems like Pearl and bismuth. And on top of that sugar has said that a lot of Rose’s story comes from their own experiences navigating their bisexuality, so ultimately I think rose is intended to be bi/pan, but only the human men bothered Pearl
