While Half Asleep And Trying To Get Over A Small Cold, I Had A Dream That The Off Color Gems Made It

Here’s an old Lunala drawing that I made. Drawn on paper and colored with color pens

It's ok because Concrete is just a character with her own color based on her own stone with light lipstick. Like no one got affected when Rose Quartz was shown with lipstick and a bit of big body. And I think Concrete is important and beautiful, since she was redesigned now by Lamar Abrams. I love how diverse the characters are. If we can have colorful characters, why not concrete, to show that all colors matter and have a positive side.

As I check tumblr after being away from it all weekend it feels like issue of Concrete as been made clear. However, it’s personally important to me that I express my apologies as I am the one who responsible for the text written next to her.

I do not associate illiteracy with people of color. That’s just not where my mind goes. Had Concrete been under consideration for an episode, she, like all of the ideas for SU, would have been scrutinized carefully to prevent any careless mistakes like this. It’s a constant consideration to champion love and acceptance in all the episodes we make. But saying this now is meaningless to anyone who was hurt by my words. It’s too late. People make mistakes and I am currently one of those people. 

I can’t undo what I’ve done but I can offer you my sincere apology. I can let you know that I make it a point to learn from my errors even when accidental. And it is my hope that any mistakes I make in the future always end with a step forward in a positive direction. That’s how I can be better. That’s how we can be better.

Thank you,

H

Here's a short animation of @rapid-artwork's beautiful OC. It's sketchy tho 😰

Wish there was a part 2, I want to know what happens next, how they defeated the monsters, I want to know if there are other people out there alive waiting to be rescued, and I wan'na know badly what's the source of the monsters' existence, I have a lot of questions 😭

A Quiet Place (2018)

I’ve been waiting to see this movie for a long, long time, and after seeing it, I’m also excited to review it! If you haven’t seen, A Quiet Place had a huge opening weekend, which makes it the latest in a trend I really enjoy: wide release horror films doing well in theaters.

The premise is a simple, but effective one: a family is trying to survive in a world where society no longer exists, where everything that makes a sound is hunted by devastatingly fatal predators. The family has developed a system to survive, to stay quiet and prevent the creatures from noticing them. But sometimes, regardless of planning, things go wrong.

In a world where any noise is dangerous because it could draw the attention of creatures who hunt through sound, this film does a fantastic job using silence to draw out tension. While watching, you find yourself holding your breath, stilling your movements, hyper aware of every noise you make and every noise the characters on the screen make. There’s not really much reprieve, because even in the relaxed moments, the family is still being careful to be quiet, and the slightest noise can ruin an easygoing atmosphere. 

And again, the film does this masterfully. I haven’t been this tense watching a movie in a long time, and it’s really nonstop. There’s no moment in the film where you’re not aware that any noise could be dangerous, just like there’s no moment in their lives where the characters are not aware. It makes for a really immersive experience.

But, the tension created through silence, sound, and the ever present threat of the creatures, as effective as it is, is only a backdrop for a story that is about a family, and about their relationship with each other. This is where the movie goes from an effective monster movie to a story that draws you in and attaches itself to you.

While the entire family has prominent roles, the main character is arguably the oldest daughter, a teenager, who is deaf and whose relationship with her father is strained. Tension within the family is centered around their relationship, which is critical to building the characters and the connections to them. You understand her insecurities, you understand his feelings when he works on repairing her cochlear implant, you understand how the rest of the family feels when they speak alone about the father and daughter.

You like the characters, you understand them, and you root for them during dangerous moments. Not only are you drawn in by the way the film uses sounds, but you’re also invested in each individual on screen.

Overall: 10/10. This was a truly engrossing movie, which pulls you into the story to experience it in a visceral way through silence and a perfect soundtrack, and through the connections it builds between the characters on screen. The best kinds of horror films aren’t ones you watch, but ones you experience, and A Quiet Place makes sure that you experience the story.

Nothing

Why do I always have that strong feeling of wanting to de-exist from this world. Like seriously, ever since I was 4 years old, I've always questioned my existence. Why do I exist? I didn't choose this. I was made, to exist. This is probably the biggest curse I could think of. I don't want to exist anymore. I don't want to feel. I just want to disappear completely. Not in a violent or uneasy way. Just, just... you know... disappear in the speed of light, without ever knowing.

Oh MY GOD SOMEONE NEEDS TO UNBUBBLED JASPER

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Waves of Sorrow

From the episode "The Return" Jasper: That shield, that symbol. You have the power of Rose Quartz! So, Pink Diamond really changed everything. I don't know if she's supposed to have a shield as a weapon, but it looks like she also changed the shield's symbol to the crystal gem symbol. I wonder what her original shield would look like... Also that shield looks like the one Rose used to protect Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl from corruption. Possibly Pink Diamond Size.

Made a “Horseshoe Crab(Limulidae)-Manta Ray-Crocodile” hybrid-looking creature for my personal story. I’m still thinking for a cool name: Croclimanta, Manlidile, Muli Mantadile, Croclida Ray, Mantamulidile, and possibly more name choices.

I personally chose the Crocodile to add some monstrosity, Manta Ray for its cool wing-like feature when swimming, and Horseshoe Crab for its strong armor and its amazing immunity system. Now that sounds indestructible!
