They're inert until another gem is nearby, so could just as well think it's a giant movie prop.

Considering the guy had a Gem in his house for years and he never realized it, I think it would be fine. It's not like his usual methods would do much to harm her anyway. Besides it takes a lot more to hurt a crazy Gem anyway.

It'd probably be vaguely adorable seeing him bond with her and feeding her weird things.

It was in the lighthouse basement, inactive, and inside a wall...wouldn't blame the Fryman for not knowing there was a thing there.

Assuming he could find a mouth.

The mouth was also...in the basement.

Just for shits and giggles, what comments would the Crystal Gems each make on the 2016 Presidential Election and its aftermath? (Yeah, I know SU takes place in an alternate universe but still)

Pearl would make a derisive comment regarding Human politics, Amethyst would react with shock and horror before immediately forgetting about it forever, and Garnet wouldn't care. Steven would be heartbroken.

Do we really need to validate our opinions by saying that cartoon characters would agree with us? Or is there's point to this exercise in shoving politics in random places?

Do you really think any of the characters wouldnt hold those views? Especially considering who writes this show?

Connie would be best president, and Steven will make an excellent First Boy.

She plays Civ and is very aware of peak oil, she knows how it is.

[up][up] So they might. Congrats. And? I can go on Young Justice topic and ask if heroes would be upset and we'll also get an "yep". I could go on TMNT topic and ask if turtles would be excited about new Marvel movie. I could ask on Miraculous Ladybug what she thinks about politics in Iraq or whatever.

I just don't feel like reading about politics here. We have South Park for this stuff.

All they did was ask a question about how we think characters woud react to something. You're acting really rude about it.

Sorry, sorry, it's just that I'm tired of politics everywhere and generally when people show fictional characters talking about real stuff like that it feels...exploitive. One of reasons I've dropped Texts from Superheroes is that it recently turned into nothing but heroes talking how Lex Luthor or Red Skull are better Trump. Dude could burn my house and this still would make me cringe.

But free speech. If I don't like it, I'll just avoid this topic for page or two.

Pearl on politics...that would be funny to see.

Id actually kind of like to see Pearl, or maybe Peridot, run for Mayor.

Barring a wacky excuse, seems like they can't, after what Pearl said about not being a Citizen. It might be fun to see Greg run for Mayor though.

Pearl knows she can't run for mayor, but I could totally see Peridot thinking, "These clods don't know how to run a city. I'm running for office." Then the entire episode is about her running against Mayor Dewey, and it ends with everybody coming to the realization that Peridot legally can't run for mayor, so Dewey wins by default.

Not to mention there's the fact that she would apply a Homeworld-esque caste system that would piss everyone off.

[up][up]As we discussed previously, if someone had to make a ruling, Amethyst and Jasper have automatic citizenship, Garnet, Pearl, and Lapis would probably be given citizenship, and Peridot would definitely not.

Garnet and Amethyst definitely would, they were made on Earth. That would have some interesting parallels if defusing as Ruby and Sapphire made them invalid as Earthborn citizens.

So I was looking at my TV guide and I found the description for Gem Harvest (which is airing next week, by the way):

"When Steven has his autumn visit to the barn, he brings a new stranger into his life."

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
