Steven Universe the Movie: Aimee Mann’s return

All right y’all, now that I’ve had some time to come down from a cloud at the announcement about the contributors to the movie, I’m a little nervous we’re jumping to conclusions about Opal.

Here’s how the musical contributors/collaborators list looks:  

Rebecca Sugar

Chance The Rapper

Estelle

Gallant

Aimee Mann

aivi & surasshu

Jeff Liu

James Fauntleroy

Macie Stewart

Mike Krol

Jeff Ball

Grant Henry

Julian “Zorsy” Sanchez

And here’s how the “performances by” list looks with credits:  

Estelle (as Garnet)

Patti LuPone (as Yellow Diamond)

Uzo Aduba (as Bismuth)

Christine Ebersole (as White Diamond)

Lisa Hannigan (as Blue Diamond)

Zach Callison (as title character Steven Universe)

Deedee Magno Hall (as Pearl)

Michaela Dietz (as Amethyst)

Tom Scharpling (as Greg Universe)

Shelby Rabara (as Peridot)

Erica Luttrell (as Sapphire)

Charlyne Yi (as Ruby)

Grace Rolek (as Connie Maheswaran)

Jennifer Paz (as Lapis Lazuli)

Kate Micucci (as Sadie)

Matthew Moy (as Lars)

Toks Olagundoye (as Nanefua Pizza)

So the first list is for songs/music, and the second list is for voice cast. I would still be thrilled to hear an Aimee Mann song in the soundtrack! But since Aimee is mentioned in the music list but not in the character list, I’m worried this is us jumping to conclusions, though I hope that’s not true because I want Opal.

Aimee is one of Rebecca’s biggest musical influences and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she was willing to contribute a song for the album. I’m just thinking about this discrepancy between the music list and the “performances” list (which is evidently a partial list of which characters are appearing and who they’re playing). If they’re willing to show their hand and reveal that Aimee is in the musical collaborators list, why not also tell us she’s doing Opal if she is? But that’s not listed here.

I hope we get Opal and I’m not trying to be a naysayer but I worry that people will go in assuming Opal as a character appearance and singing a song is a given, and no matter how great the movie ends up being, I could see people being hugely disappointed in not receiving this since people are so invested in Opal and might go in expecting it. So please, until we get more info that proves me wrong, keep this in mind about the information they’ve given us and what it means! I would be really disappointed if people acted like we were lied to when this is actually the format they gave us the info in and no one is assuming any of the other musicians (except Estelle) will be giving us an in-character song.

Lapidot Week day 5: “video games”

I can 100% imagine Peridot getting addicted to a game like Pokemon Go and confusing the heck out of Lapis.

I'm still stuck on the fact I legit saw someone with the take that "Marriage has nothing to do with amatonormativity and was made to protect you" like in what fucking world are you living in because the last time I checked, in the real world, marriage was created and used as a form of control not fucking protection. It is used to control women. It is used to control the rights of queer and disabled people. It was used to control people of color and mixed raced couples. It has always been a form of control. They are withholding rights from those the government doesn't accept as in a LEGAL PARTNERSHIP; because amatonormativity isn't just about romance but about the relationship heirarchy that places MARRAIGE at the top and the idea that society believes you MUST have a partner or else you're a freak and a failure.

To have that take you would have had to ignore the mass amount of evidence proving how harmful marriage has been. How marriage is a common thing abusers use to trap their victims and take control of their lives. How many woman were married to men they hated because otherwise they couldn't get a bank account or house. How disabled people are made to become reliant on their partner and get stuck in abusive or toxic relationships due to that. How even if you divorce you could still lose EVERYTHING because marriage doesn't give you rights to the house. How many marriages require PRENUPS to PROTECT YOU from getting screwed over by your spouse in the chance of a divorce - because again; marriage doesn't give you rights to the house. Different states and different counties will have different laws and those laws were never meant to protect anyone. They were made purely for control.

You are ignorant at best or malicious at worst if you think that marriage shouldn't be criticized when talking about amatonormativity.
