Heh Heh Heh.

Unfortunately, I'm not a US citizen, so I can't do much other than a signal boost.

It’s back.

The balloon one. Just...the balloon one.

Something about normally innocent things being used in this kind of imagery just makes it creepier.

Reblog if you care if I deleted my blog

Yesssss!

Okay, this might be too much, some details re: Gem society may be headcanon:

Name: Spinel

Appearance: Kinda tall, average width (slightly thin for her height). More angular than curvy. Hands with long, slender fingers. Chin-length hair she doesn’t really do anything with, on a vaguely rounded-rectangular head. Two eyes. Red-orange skin, brown hair. Brown gem at base of neck.

Clothing: Amber polo with a folded down collar over a brown undershirt. Polo has a white diamond patch with her facet and cut (4S3E and 7DH, respectively). Dark brown pants, red low-cut flat boots.

What Spinels Do: Spinels handle security inspections, both routine and otherwise. They vary more than most in rank, as this is something that needs to be done at all most levels of the chain of command. Our particular Spinel is around a Jasper on the chain of command, but some are barely higher than Rubies (mostly ones who’ve messed up), while a few lucky ones may well report directly to a Diamond’s second in command. Their internal security job puts them under both White and Yellow Diamond’s purview, but they take their orders more from White Diamond. 

Personality: Spinel is a diligent worker and loyal Gem, almost to a fault. Most Spinels are not known for thinking outside the box; it’s not that they can’t, it’s that they won’t until they’ve extensively tried every single in-the-box idea. Our Spinel is like this too, albeit to a lesser degree. When not on the job, Spinel is formal, but not overly so. She is very respectful to and ready to take orders from anyone who seems to be above her on the chain of command, even if informally or temporarily so; otherwise, she is polite but slightly dismissive, not much of a conversationalist. Around friends, her formal demeanor slips only a bit, and she develops a somewhat wry sense of humor. On the job, though, she is very focused; she does not talk except in short, job-related sentences and does not like interruptions. She gets snippy when frustrated. Dislikes rule-breakers, has nothing but revulsion for people who don’t obey their own rules. Currently very loyal to White Diamond.

Notable Skills/Abilities: Spinel is highly adept at noticing things that seem out of place or otherwise not how they should be, though she may not know exactly how they’re supposed to be. She has an excellent memory for rules and procedures, and while she may not have an intuitive understanding of how a thing works, she is quite good at delicate or intricate technical tasks so long as nothing comes along that she doesn’t know how to do. Our Spinel is slowly getting better at the intuitive understanding thing where machines are concerned. Capable of fighting in a pinch (uses large letter openers), but not the best at it. Probably not completely terrible at being in charge and making the decisions, but probably not great at it either (she hasn’t really been in that position much if at all).

Current Task: Our Spinel was on the way to do a semi-important inspection at a relatively new gem colony after receiving distinctly nonstandard reports, but has been stranded (on Earth, maybe?) for reasons and has no means of contacting anyone. Is kinda freaking out.

AN OFFER

EVER WONDERED WHAT YOUR GEMSONA WOULD LOOK LIKE IN CHUUBO’S MARVELOUS WISH-GRANTING ENGINE?

OKAY, YOU PROBABLY HAVEN’T. BUT BECAUSE I’M FEELING GENEROUS RIGHT NOW I THOUGHT I’D MAKE THE OFFER ANYWAY: GEMSONAS AND GEM OC’S STATTED UP, FREE OF CHARGE.

BEAR IN MIND THAT FOR THIS I’M GOING TO NEED PERSONALITY DETAILS AND POWERS MORE THAN APPEARANCE: WHAT THEY DO, WHERE THEY’RE GOING, HOW THEY DO IT.

It will.

The Harry Potter fandom persevered, and I dare say that we are more passionate than they. Who knows, having a finished story that can be analyzed and discussed in full could be a benefit. Besides, it's not like Mr. Hussie is going away. MSPA will be around for a while longer, acting as a reminder of the awesomeness we partook in.

People will continue to make fanart. People will continue to discuss it. We will make fanstuff, the fanstuff will help add to the fanbase, the additional fans might make more fanstuff and so on. This family will not stagnate and crumble, not for a long time. As long as there is electricity in our computers, lead in our pencils, ideas in our minds and fire in our hearts, we will create. We will discuss. We will analyze. We will inspire and be inspired.

That said, with Andrew contributing less, we as a fandom will really have to step up our game, so to speak. To survive, we will need to make awesome things of all kinds. We will need to make fanworks good enough to support the fandom themselves. The fandom may become a different beast altogether. If we can manage it, it will be glorious.

I'm almost looking forward to the end.

ADORABLE EXCITED BOUNCING SENSHI

MAY NOT SURVIVE SCENE

SEND HELP

So many people.

A few parts yeah, but it can be grindy as hell.

this game is bullshit, you have to go through a tutorial until level 18, and your stats start to go down after level 30 not to mention the romance mini-game is hard as fuck

I can't recall any of the innuendo and such at the moment, but I know there's a lot and any english student who didn't think Shakespeare was awesome had a terrible teacher. Or no appreciation for lowbrow humor in Shakespearean English.

As I recall, Shakespeare was the originator of the euphemism of the "beast with two backs". Courtesy of Iago from Othello, I believe. Among other things.

Shakespeare would seriously laugh so hard if he found out how seriously people take his works. Like, he would probably cry from laughing so hard if you told him that his plays were considered high-brow literature. “It’s all dick jokes and sword fights,” he’d say, “do they seriously tell my dick jokes to schoolchildren? And the kids aren’t allowed to laugh? Do the teachers know they’re telling dick jokes? Oh my god that’s fucking hilarious. Wait until I tell Anne.”

Who are you kidding, of course he would. Hussie is to ships as the centre of the Sun is to snowflakes.

“But please try to be quiet in case the green beast is still nearby!”

oh no

hussie
