Worst Advice Ever

I take all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. Strangers (sometimes), friends, teachers, family. But then there are people that...kind of give advice that will turn you the wrong direction.
Take my friend, Roger, for example. He was my best guy friend. He loved to hang out with me and he loved to talk to me about his day and everything. Eventually, I started telling him about my day as well and we connected. We were like the best of best friends. Anyways, one day I told him that I had a crush on one of my friends. He started freaking out and said, "Oh my god! Oh my god! I'm gonna tell them! No, wait. Never mind, I want to hear the drama first." So I told him everything about my crush. Then I asked him for advice. He wanted me to just straight up tell my crush that I liked them. Here's a summary of his whole speech, "Its better doing something and regretting it than doing nothing when you could've done something and then regretting that." So I decided, the next day, to go up to my crush and tell them about how I like them. They ended up saying that they didn't like me that way and that they'd rather have us stay as friends. Of course, I was heartbroken by that. So I told Roger about it and he advised me to try to talk to them again. So the next day, I did. And again, we talked for hours about what we liked about eachother but then at the end my crush decided it wouldn't work out between us. That us dating wouldn't be such a good idea. I became more heartbroken but decided to stay positive about it. After I told Roger about that one he advised to just move on. And I was already planning to do that so I did. BUT then, a month or so later my crush stated that they liked me back, but I had already moved on. I didn't know how to reply so I said I'll think about it. I asked Roger to help me with it and he said I should go for it. So I did. That took the wrong turn as usual. It was kind of awkward for us when we dated so we decided that we were better off as friends. From that point on, I never took advice from Roger again and so far, it's been great.

Greatest Show EVER!!

Well...to me it's the greatest show ever.

Steven Universe is a show in which a boy named Steven Universe goes on adventures with his guardians and protectors of Beach City (Where he lives) Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. They call themselves The Crystal Gems. Many of Stevens missions with the gems includes fighting corrupted monsters or they include other magical mysteries. In many of the missions, the gems and Steven learn lessons and/or Steven finds out what types of powers he holds. So far he has found out that he can summon a shield, a bubble that protects him, and he found a sword inside his magical pet pink lion. Yes, you read that right, a pink lion. Steven and the gems were on a mission at the desert one day and a pink lion arrived. Steven befriends the lion and once the gems finish the mission they head home. Steven was sad to leave the lion behind but he did anyways and teleported back home. Once home Steven found out that the lion had followed him. Trouble follows Steven as he wonders why the lion followed him. Then Steven kept lion as a pet. Lion is a good little boy. =)

Beach city is small city with real interesting people. Steven, of course, makes plenty of friends throughout the show and he has also lost some. Let's take Lapis Lazuli, a character who controls water and was trapped in the mirror for over 5,000 years. Steven befriended her through the mirror and eventually released her. This gets the gems mad. Eventually Steven helps Lapis gets homes and after 50 episodes, danger appears nearby and threatens the humanity of Beach City. This all happens in season 1. In season 2 episode 18, Steven finds Peridot. A homeworld gem. She was part of the threat to Beach City along with Jasper and Lapis Lazuli. Lapis, though, didn't really want to hurt Steven and his friends. Peridot and Jasper did. Lapis then traps Jasper in a fusion. They live underwater for quite sometime until Lapis was too weak enough to hold Jasper down with the weight of the Earths ocean. Once Malachite (Jasper and Lapis fusion) was defeated by Alexandrite (A fusion between the Crystal Gems, except Steven), Jasper disappears underground and Lapis is kept with the gems. Peridot, on the other hand, keeps managing to escape the Crystal Gems BUT they find her and the gems poof her and trap her in a bubble. Steven, the nice little cinnamon bun, releases her and says that she knows something the gems don't. Something called "The Cluster". Its a HUGE fusion inside the earth and if it forms, the planet and everyone on it will die. It'll blow up the earth!! You can find out what happens to the gems and what they try to do to stop the Cluster.

[Just to put this out there, there's more homeworld gems like The Rubies, The Diamond Authority, Holly Blue, Blue and Yellow Pearl, and many MANY more. My favorite homeworld gem though is probably Lapis and Skinny Jasper.]

Eventually though, Lapis and Peridot get along (They were ready to kill eachother in the start) And its, so far, going great. Oh, right, Jasper! So she eventually goes on the surface of the earth again and try's to hurt the gems, excluding Lapis. Then in another episode Smokey Quartz defeats Jaspers fusion and you'll know what happens to Jasper once you watch the episode.

I think I've written more than I intended but who's to say that more is bad? 
I really love the show and it makes me so happy. 
Thanks to SugarWoman (Rebecca Sugar) for creating this beautiful show. 💙💚 

(Also, I'm sorry if this kind of spoils the show for you.)
