    I'm guessing re: murals
    in order of likelyhood
    1. They're never going to elaborate.
    2. Pink Diamond only controlled/ruled Earth. (This doesn't make sense really but the show's world-building has never been solid in the politics/scifi areas)
    3. Since all these murals are on Earth it's the style to show the ruler with just that planet.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    So, um...

    Has no one noticed?

    Steven is a Homestuck Alien.

    1. His name is STEVEN QUARTZ (universe). That's two six-letter names. Like a Troll would have.
    2. He wears a t-shirt with a STAR on it. That's clearly his symbol.
    3. He clearly has God Tier powers that are consistent with him being HEIR of LIFE.
    4. He's at least half alien.
    5. He has a room where his INTERESTS are SHOWN.
    6. He clearly uses a SHIELD Modus.
    7. His PET is a Reality-warping LION (AKA A GodCAT)

    Really, i wouldn't be surprised if next season, we find out he's been talking through time with some other alien kids and then he'll be whisked away to the Land of Cookies and Cats.

    Um Mods?

    Speculation, no matter how uncannily prescient, is not spoilers.

    "Um mods" is for mentioning Homestuck, I'm sure. And I second that! MODS!!

    Diamond mural designs

    interesting that Pink Diamond has the fewest planets but also the largest halo.

    Back to the Moon
    in the actual mural seen in the episode, it looks like Pink Diamond is holding her Halo.... that makes me think she controlled Homeworld, maybe?

    To expand on that
    Maybe the halos aren't halos at all, but a representation of a Diamond's primary planet where most of their shit is. I could totally see Pink Diamond being the actual leader of Home World.

    diamond mural stuff
    I think the planets we see in the diamond murals aren't all the colonies controlled by the diamonds. The murals only have twenty-six planets, and for an interstellar empire running out of resources, that seems like way too few to be all of their colonies. They'd have uncountable billions of resource-rich systems left to exploit if that was the extent of their colonies, after all. However, if the theory that gems need to drain magic life energy or somesuch from an ecosystem to be created is correct, then perhaps the planets in the mural are life-bearing worlds that diamond has supervised the creation of and managed the operation of kindergartens on. Having found 26 life bearing planets seems more plausible than only having twenty-five colonies (not counting earth).
    If they need life of some sort on the planet, there might not be that many planets available for harvesting.

    Or some other reason only specific planets are good for harvesting when the homeworld gems do not seem to have obliterated the other planets in our solar system.

    If the halos represent the parts of homeworld that diamond controls, then their depiction as disks kinda makes me think of the capital of the Forerunner Ecumene.

    Gems seem to care very little about organic life. Would that be the case if only inhabited planets were useful to them?

    I wanted to make a little joke today and apparently it turned into a bunch of people throwing shade my way for enjoying a webcomic.
    And up to stuff like calling me trash.

    And you know what? I don't think that's all that okay, since we're in the fucking Steven Universe thread. This is, like, the unsteven universest thing to do.

    This isn't gonna be a "boo-hoo woe is me" post but, the fact is, i've been struggling with self worth for a while and it took me altogether too long to stop calling myself trash because, as ironic as it might've seemed to me, there was an edge of malice to it when i called myself trash and that was not good for me.

    So yeah, i'm gonna say the line has been crossed now.

    Would i have posted the same thing had i known this would happen? That depends entirely on the reaction to this post. Either you guys will double down and run me out of the thread or you won't and, hopefully, think a bit about calling people trash for liking a webcomic when you, yourselves, are apparently fans of a cartoon about a kid who makes friends with everyone, including his enemies.

    So yeah, sorry for fucking up the thread, sorry for causing this stupid derail, but i can't just let that sort of thing slide anymore. i find it too toxic.

Heck, Thetheroo has an Undertale avatar and posted an Undertale video - Undertale is related to Homestuck in some way as I understand it?

    "Homestuck is trash" is one of the SE++ joke "hatreds", like "Anime is the worst." I haven't read Homestuck myself, but I have a feeling that most of the people who are rude about it have read and enjoyed it. I know the "anime is the worst" people are avid anime fans. I think there's at least one mod who deliberately posts hilariously long analysis of Homestuck just poke fun at the perpetual Homestuck jokes.

    Also: fucking up the thread? Not at all! this is a place of love, say what you feel! C'mere, you!

    This isn't gonna be a "boo-hoo woe is me" post but, the fact is, i've been struggling with self worth for a while and it took me altogether too long to stop calling myself trash because, as ironic as it might've seemed to me, there was an edge of malice to it when i called myself trash and that was not good for me.

    So yeah, i'm gonna say the line has been crossed now.

    Would i have posted the same thing had i known this would happen? That depends entirely on the reaction to this post. Either you guys will double down and run me out of the thread or you won't and, hopefully, think a bit about calling people trash for liking a webcomic when you, yourselves, are apparently fans of a cartoon about a kid who makes friends with everyone, including his enemies.

    So yeah, sorry for fucking up the thread, sorry for causing this stupid derail, but i can't just let that sort of thing slide anymore. i find it too toxic.

    I'm sorry for my part in making you feel bad. I don't think you're worthless or trash, nor do I think anyone who posted about Homestuck thinks that you are either. Heck, Thetheroo has an Undertale avatar and posted an Undertale video - Undertale is related to Homestuck in some way as I understand it?

    "Homestuck is trash" is one of the SE++ joke "hatreds", like "Anime is the worst." I haven't read Homestuck myself, but I have a feeling that most of the people who are rude about it have read and enjoyed it. I know the "anime is the worst" people are avid anime fans. I think there's at least one mod who deliberately posts hilariously long analysis of Homestuck just poke fun at the perpetual Homestuck jokes.

    yes anime/homestuck is trash is mainly a self-deprecating joke, please refer to character alphys of undertale fame

    imo there was no actual shade directed at ya 21st, but,

    get ready i am gonna chase you out of the thread for sure

    gonna start stretching over here

    I was Alphys for altogether too long. Long enough to know that the self-deprecating joke has enough of an edge to cause real long-term damage to yourself. So I kinda don't like it very much anymore. Sorry, but being "ironic trash" for so long taught me that self deprecating humor is generally used by people who don't need to self-deprecate. I kinda made it my warhorse to rage against that kind of stuff because i recognize how much harm it did to me.

    Heck, Alphys is the character that made me realize how toxic that joke is.

    Again, it might be ironic, but it still has a malicious edge to it that i really didn't need in my life. If anything, i guess i learned not to mention homestuck anywhere.

    I don't blame you at all. That kind of malicious edge is exactly why I can't post in the D&D chat thread anymore.

    and not jokey "haha he'll keep saying real talk like marty" real talk but actual real talk.

    I wanted to make a little joke today and apparently it turned into a bunch of people throwing shade my way for enjoying a webcomic.
    And up to stuff like calling me trash.

    And you know what? I don't think that's all that okay, since we're in the fucking Steven Universe thread. This is, like, the unsteven universest thing to do.
