Hercules gets a little bit of nostalgia now, but it wasn't really regarded as that great of a movie at the time. And it's still not really seen as being as good as some of their greats. So its not that strange you didn't see it.

There's clearly some differences in the way Meg and Rose were voiced IMO though. Either way it's not really something I would have guessed, since it's not a movie I tend to remember.

Oh I know about the reception of it. I'm a really big Greek mythology nerd, so I know how inaccurate the movie is in regards to the myths.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I suppose it's not the best Disney movie. Hades is great, though.

Some interesting discussion and speculation on the Diamonds' respective motifs.

Hmm, after listening to Blue/Yellow Diamonds' themes back-to-back, I think each diamond is associated with a particular chord! Both of their themes cycle through the same four chords at the beginning: F#Maj7, BMaj7, EMaj7, AMaj7

Then the song "stops" on one of these chords and uses it exclusively throughout the rest of the piece.

Yellow Diamond's theme stops on the B Major 7th. Blue Diamond's theme stops on the E Major 7th. I'd wager that White Diamond's theme will use the F# Major 7th chord, and Pink Diamond's theme will use the A Major 7th.

I just found that Rose enters on a very prominent A Minor 7th chord in "Young Gems". Make of it what you will.

Well A Minor 7th is a different chord from A Major 7th, if they're assuming Pink Diamond's theme will use the latter. The poster talks about that in an edit on their post.

It implies a connection, at least. I'm still holding out that Rose was associated with Pink Diamond but wasn't actually Pink Diamond.

I hope Peridot gets some new limb enhancers. She's intimidating when she's tall.

If Peridot gets her limb enhancers back, she's probably going to get a bit of a redesign (kind of how they used Garnet reforming in Jail Break to introduce us to her new appearance). That pic makes me see just how hard it must be to get her body proportions consistent in both designs.

The second pic, though. I can't wait to see how Peridot reacts to Stevonnie.

Sugar mentioned in that presentation a few weeks ago (Wondercon?) that they put a lot of detail into her floating fingers in "Catch & Release" because it was their last chance to animate them. Makes me think they aren't coming back.

[up][up]With ascended limbs, the thigh area is slightly longer...but it'd not be much awkward.

That's because it's difficult to have her thighs and upper arms be the same length and have her limbs not look super weird in terms of forearm/shin length (since the enhancers connect at her elbow/knee), so people tend to draw her so that she looks like she would be taller than she actually is even knowing that the enhancers are there.

The show itself did it too, but is a bit more careful about it especially once it got closer to Catch and Release.

Careful as in...with her limb enhancements she was the only character with consistent proportion and height.

1. In regards to clip from, what we are led to believe is, Barn Buddies, i have to ask; what exactly is Lapis' gripe with Peridot? Does she just hold a grudge against all Homeworld Gems now?

2. Are the Diamonds essentially monarchs?

Well Peridot was part of the Homeworld party that took her prisoner and dragged her back to Earth.

The fact that Jasper was worse to her isn't really going to change that she has no reason to feel kindly toward Peridot.

[up][up][up] That clip is probably something you want to discuss in the spoiler thread, buddy.

And Peridot calls the Diamonds "Matriarchs". So kinda. But they act more like bureaucrats.

Ships will sink. Lifeboats will be sent out. Against all odds, the most resilient lapidot shippers will shakily rebuild (although they built the original from absolutely nothing anyway, soooooo....)

Oh right!

I forgot people used to ship Lapis and Peridot on the basis that they were the two Homeworld Gems we knew about.

Huh! We've sure come a long way.

Peridot fled the ship that she was supposed to be driving, making it crash land, and preventing any chance of Steven rescuing Lapis in time to escape. Destroying the ship was also why Jasper had to go to such extreme measures to fight the Crystal Gems (If the ship was functional, they could have just blasted them with it)

I'd be pretty damn mad at Peridot too.
