"Huge fan but have not watched the show fully. I need time for myself to do that without feeling drained lol.... I will eventually. It took me awhile to watch Stranger Things. I am a huge fan of the movie and storyline. Even have the graphic novels."

@mooneevee: I'm still mulling over what you said.

Like seriously, I'm over here pondering it in the car on my way to work and in bed when I can't sleep. xD

I just am not sure I'm ready to let go of my Pink feelings yet.


lol.... Totally understandable! :) "

About Pink, She was not intentional in leaving her behind for 6000 years. I think her main goal was remove herself from a very clingy relationship. Spinel is a great character, however she was clingy and was programmed to be such. We forget that Gems and Diamonds are all in a way programmed to be a certain way for centuries. Pink grew up knowing this. She was the court jester and she didn't want to be that any more. She needed to escape. She ended up finding herself on Earth and left a lot of her followers behind. You make sacrifices for the betterment of yourself and society. It seems cruel but she essentially saved earth from a genocide.You got remember Diamonds and gems have created mass genocide of hundreds of planets. Pink was only doing what she thinks was best and sometimes your best isn't always perfect. Steven is sick and tired of fixing his mom's war aftermath, however he and the other Crystal Gems understand why she did it and the reasoning. It was hard for them to understand it all but she did sacrifice herself to give life to Steven. It's possible Steven would have died. I get this feeling Steven's birth was a part fusion between Greg and Rose aka Pink. Some how that day they danced trying to fuse, something happened and create Steven or possibly a time not mentioned.That would be interesting if they do explain it and the possibility of similar fusions to exist. I don't think it was done naturally, like two humans lol.... I do think it was something between Greg and Rose aka Pink. Now, whether Pink is perfect, I can say no, however her intentions were not out of hate or malicious, just confusion and naivety. She had to leave the old behind and start fresh. It is possible Spinel would have easily followed in Pink's footsteps, but would she have changed or still be clingy? That is the true question and even so, could she truly have returned in time anyway? She hasn't return to home world at all. She wanted no parts of it. It was toxic. I have known people who left family, even good family because of the toxicity of their parents or siblings. They regret leaving them behind but they had too in order to save themselves. Many don't even reconnect and if they do, it is many many years latter.

I loved the movie. I am a huge Steven Universe fan, collected all the Pop figures, t shirts, legos I can gather lol.... I have too much. Anyway, Steg was awesome and Spinal was great. She wasn't exactly what people were expecting and I am glad of that. Her character is very inspired by old animations, and I love that. The character development was quick, but not bad. I loved the music. Big fan!

Posted in Transgender Posted 5 years ago

"I am talking about people who fake it and come in to destroy a group of people. Seen it before in my life and had experiences, that is why I bring it up. It is taboo to talk about because people get offended easily. The reason I say this is because I dealt with it prior. My one friend who is transgender finds herself in situations in the dating world with people who flat out lie to her about their identity."


Posted in Transgender Posted 5 years ago

"I may talk to my friend and get a better understanding of their views more. I have two who are different in their transitioning. "


Posted in Transgender Posted 5 years ago

"The thing is, everyone who transitions, regardless of whether they go one way or another, they represent who they are inside. When I see people use it as a trend, I get disgusted by it cause I have friends who been injured, killed, and even sexually assaulted for being transgender. The problem I have been seeing is many cis gender straight females infiltrating gay culture. I am pansexual, cis gender women and not ashamed of it. I know my place. Being also apart of the culture, I have been seeing more and more coming in and lecturing to older transgender people, older gays and disrespected the elders who fought and even got injured for freedoms aka Stonewall. It is happening more and more.

Now, the cosplayers I speak of pretty much went into attack mode, and went off on people accidentally misgendering them, after they showcased female cosplay, dressing in dresses, daily day events etc..... And flipped out. Which is weird, cause usually those I know would take the opportunity to educated verses scream and yell. I find it fishy. I will gladly call you by whatever gender you desire, but understand many suffer far worse. Many struggle daily with their gender identity. I have a friend who almost died cause of it."


Posted in Transgender Posted 5 years ago

"aThis isn't about people who truly are transgender, but the trend I have been noticing of women claiming to be trans men, but don't do anything to be trans men..... So, I am on tik tok and other social media, and noticed cosplayers, specially "trans men" cosplayers who go out, dress as girls and even on the casual time are dressed as girls but claim to be trans males..... Nothing on there social media, tik tok or anything else showcases there transitioning. All there images is them dressing as women, both in cosplay and general life but maybe with a short hair cut (not always). I am slowly taken back, especially when they go off and scream at people that they are males flashing their boobs, well done makeup, hair in pony tails and yelling at anyone who thinks other wise.

I know many transgender women and when I discussed this with them, they seem highly offended by them. There is this debate as to what qualifies you as truly being Transgender.... For me, is someone who is the opposite gender to what their biological sex is.... It is a chemical reaction in the brain, the social construct and the physical need to change in order to become what they are inside. It is not going around, dressing like what society deems as being a women and claiming to be a man because its cool.... No, that isn't cool at all. Having friend suffer daily from gender dysphoria, depression and all those thing associate with being transgender, and yet people seem to use it as a trend for tik tok likes.....

I would give links, but I don't want people harassing them or even really saying anything. It seems to be something I noticed a lot online lately, especially biological women who claim to be transgender men, but everything they show case, whether cosplay or daily life is them dressed as women.... It's throwing me off a lot. I believe that gender is a social construct but there is a limit to it. Being transgender is more then just some social construct, it's a real thing and seeing people abuse it is disturbing.

Now, there is a transgender female going around harassing young women and children, claiming t be transgender as well. Turns out, she isn't really transgender, but using the community to speak to children, create a fetish life style and she even got a company closed down cause they would't do a Brazilian wax on a male part.... You have to be trained to do that and male parts are not easy to do that too. I am sure many of you may have heard the story and transgender women are speaking out against "her".

It may not be a common thing that people do this, but it is happening and needs to be stopped. People need to stop using be transgender as a trend and start recognizing the suffering of the community , especially black transgender women who are being killed. we need to be allies and not hurt their cause!

Posted in My boyfriends dad died.... Posted 5 years ago

"I haven't seen my boyfriend in a month and that is do to his dad being on his death bed, plus work... I am the understanding girlfriend and he talk to me everyday, and sometimes even though I feel he may not miss me, he surprises me and says he does. I think just so much going on, of course he won't be as active with me as he would probably like and I completely understand. I gave him space and just yesterday his dad passed a way. It was months of struggle and he finally decided hospice was the only decision. From watching a far, I see the strain of it on both my boyfriend and his mother, considering his father is a very stubborn man, and with that came consequences. He delayed surgeries that could have prevented cancer from spreading, gave both my boyfriend and his wife a hard time etc.... Even all that, they loved him and I would too if I known him. I am sure as sad as it is and wishing for a different out comes, there is a sense of relief. It was the same with grandmother who recently passed.... It was hard on everyone making trips back and forth, delaying the inevitable and finally my grandfather said she most move on. I get it and understand it, also knowing my mom's mom aka NANA , who I lived with passing away in the house.... I know the pain and agony and also the relief as well. I am sure a part of him (small that it is) is saying he has freedom now to breathe and be more flexible. It hurts and will be painful, however we all have that part of us that feels a sense of freedom and releif.... Freedom as in being able to close that chapter and move on and relief knowing that person isn't hurting anymore. Right now he wished me good morning earlier and that was it. I know he will call or message me tonight, he seems to be always making sure I am okay, even if I should be concerned about him and he should be concerned about other things. I feel awful it fell this way. We planned on having family get together, a child etc.... It is hurtful thinking his father won't be around, however life is like that and all we can do is move forward."

"I watched Season 3 finally and it was one of the best seasons. It was gold! Neverending Story scene brought me back to when I first watched the movie. I was born in 1984 but was brought into a lot of 80s stuff. It was defiantly awesome to watch. "
