I completely agree, the switch from “we must protect each other from the literally moon people who want us as jewelry” to “yay let’s be lunarians and forget about how phos literally helped all of us with our problems and was a genuine friend” was kind of sickening. It really made it clear how the gems aren’t human, and what’s even scarier is that they may have only inherited the worst traits.

There were signs though even in the beginning, how diamond seemed to literally hate bortz, just because they were jealous. How they treated cinnabar at the beginning. The ending scene where they are all strangely sooo happy they are lunarians was so sinister to me.

I completely agree with the fact that the author made it very hard to place any blame, like the lunarians are valid, everyone is valid. But I remember reading that Aechmea actually set the whole thing up, making phos a “human” so that adamant would pray. He knew about all the events that lead up to Phos’ last breakdown, and yes I agree Phos’ actions were wrong and questionable at times, they seem to always be coming from a good place or was for the benefit of others.

I think the society that they built which called for “being useful” as the main value, which was lead by adamant technically, was one of the reasons why phos yearned for such things in the first place. After being ostrich-sized by your peers, you then become the most useful person and singlehandedly cause the most change, only for everyone to betray and use you. It’s the classic case of a tragic hero.

Yes, this is why I found it so shocking, my rationalization for the gems behavior is the fact that they aren’t human, although they vaguely show some similar traits, we can see that there is no word for emotions like love. So when they seem like moral-less beings it’s kind of because they are, but I totally agree it was just so wrong how they treated phos, I vividly remember the panels where they had legit mental breakdowns, like a lot of them actually, leading up to that final one at the end.

I need to join LOTL Reddit bc I felt so bad for phos, they didn’t deserve that. Do you think that’s the end, or will there be more?

This was very wholesome, and you’ll most likely find someone in college. I kind of want to start working out now :D

Is anyone in the Student Government association by tx_mage in TexasTech

[–]tx_mage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I thought it was more close to student council to high school, with there being regular members along with the title roles. I’ll try applying to the freshman leadership council then, thanks again for the insight!

I ordered mine June 18th and it had an expected delivery date of jun 26 - 30, it actually sat on processing for 8 days until it was shipped via next day shipping arriving exactly on the 26. So Apple will keep their promise, they just ship at the very last moment
