Do you ever get jealous of the people in movies, or do you ever pity them?

Those who got to find true love.

Those who experience life at a different perspective.

Those that get to explore pleasures, trials, hardships, met with reward? punishment?

Something about them seems to connect to you in a much more intimate way. More so than you would imagine it to be.

And in a way, it resonates.

It gives you hope but at the same time it also takes it away from you.

Paradoxical as it may seem, these people you envy or pity, Consciously or Subconsciously you want to be them, or at the very least to be able to experience what they had done.

Whether these be successful characters like heroes, billionaires, entrepreneurs, those who got to find true love, those with happy endings they speak to you as if tapping what you long for; Or characters that have suffered and lost the most, it speaks to you in a way that is haunting yet astounding, it violates you yet somehow, deep down, it taps your primal instinct, a deeper side of you, that you don't even know, a different kind of pleasure.

I have watched Indie Films that perfectly captures how I and if I can speak on behalf of those who are like me, feel the need to think and breath outside the confinements of what we call normal. How characters are met with unfortunate yet all too familiar circumstances, sure they had it worse that you did, but somehow their despair, is your despair, their guilty pleasures is your guilty pleasures, yet their ending, is not your ending.

Because you have the something that they don't.

A chance to write your ending.

For you to decide how you want things to be.

Pearls Theory

Pearl have long noses because they aspire to become Squidward. This is evident with Yellow Diamond’s Pearl on how she talks. Also, I think their long noses can be used as a weapon And when they fuse They will make the ultimate nose Unmatched by anyone Even the diamonds. Fear the Pearls. Fear their power. FEAR THEIR NOSE.

The Girl Who Could Do Anything

            Her eyes hold no light and reflected back to me the infinite cosmos. I was forever stuck gazing in her innocence. Dozens upon dozens of fireflies all illuminating light that strikes the hoarfrosts of the plants. In my arms, a baby, as we wander across the woods. I look up and see nothing but the midnight blue sky. I look at the baby in the eye and I can’t help but feel guilty.                 My niece, Miyo was an orphan. Her father died in an accident while her mother left Miyo to me, and ran away. Folks in my village would say how unlucky this child is. Her words hold power. Power more than anyone could ever imagine. Nigh omnipotence, so to speak. I do not know the origin of this nor do I have any idea how it works. All I know that is whatever she speaks into existence the word then appears, exists, happens, repurpose, reimagine. Miyo is no less than a year old and she is unable to speak in complete sentences nor is she able to utter phrases for that matter.  How do I know she possess such power, you may ask. I have seen her perform these feats with my own eyes.                 With one utter of the word milk, she was able to have a bottle appear in her hand. And at first, I was in complete shock. I immediately came to my senses and have her speak words and test this power myself. I’ve made her say gold, riches, money, a castle, and all the good things in life and yet somehow, this never felt enough. I taught her how to utter words like lands, wives, livestock, swords, and all the things I ever wanted in life. Little by little, I saw how her bright blue eyes turn gray. I had this checked to the village doctor. And he said, he had never seen anything like this in his life. Rumors of witchcraft began to circulate our doorsteps and I wasn’t happy with this. Miyo is still unable to speak in complete sentences but I did my best to get her to say “The people in the village to disappear.” And so they did.                Day by day, I’ve asked for all the luxuries in life and Miyo, being the baby that she is, would say all the words I’ve taught her again and again. I see in her gray eyes that her pupils are turning white. I am concerned. I waved my hands back and forth and I seem to get no reaction from her. Has my niece gone blind? My heart raced and my eyes cried but without tears. I’ve turned Miyo into a human bat.  I tried to get her to say sight, vision, see, but nothing seems to work. Miyo uttered the words I’ve taught her and she did not breathe them into existence.                 I was in shock and I didn’t know what to do. I sat down on the floor and caught a glimpse of my reflection and saw my eyes. My eyes that were blue of color, the color of which Miyo’s eyes used to look like before.                 Miyo no longer had her gift. I’ve used it all up. And in the process, I took away something precious to her. Guilt runs through my spine and I feel it choking me in my throat. What horrible deed have I done to Miyo? If only I’ve taught Miyo letters and words, If only I’ve taught Miyo how to walk, If only I haven’t abused Miyo’s gift, If only I’ve had her utter Papa instead. Countless thoughts start to enter my head and I just couldn’t take it anymore.                 I took Miyo to the woods and saw nothing but the dark sky without stars to illuminate our path. The moon be witness to my sins and as we wander. fireflies gather, all seeming to gossip to the plants sending shivers down through the cold air. I was forever stuck gazing in Miyo’s innocence as her eyes held no light and reflected back to me, an empty soulless reflection of the cruelty I’ve had enacted.

Learn how to appreciate a well-written character. Understand what the character is meant to portray. The Steven Universe cast is diverse, believable, and very well-written. Amethyst is no exception. In your eyes, she is useless, selfish, an asshole, and too controlling. but in my eyes she is very beautiful. Her role portrays of that of a person struggling to grow up. -Amethyst is the youngest out of the Crystal Gems aside from Steven and Peridot. Amethyst was overcooked; defective, She was founded by Rose, Garnet and Pearl and was taken in by them. -Amethyst did not participate in the planet's war for freedom. She never got used to any responsibilities; and grew being carefree, Holding the title alone of a crystal gem is already a huge responsibility, And judging from when Rose was still around, Garnet (most likely Pearl too) were already being assigned to missions to retrieve corrupted gems. -Amethyst was used to being like this, free from responsibilites, free from whatever she wanted to do. When Rose gave up her physical form, Amethyst had to adapt to the situation, The person she loved, and the one who was always there for her, was taken away from her. She was struggling. Struggling to adapt, Struggling to adjust And most of all struggling to change herself. She is and always will be carefree. ** no matter how hard she tries, maternal instincts just cannot seem to kick in with her, She badly wants to escape, Because home is no longer what she used to know. (Because Rose is gone) tl;dr- Amethyst is a character portrayed as a person who is struggling to change what she had always been(carefree) for Steven, emphasis on struggling. Stop hating on her because of her mistakes, rather understand what her role in steven universe is.
