My favorite part of the episode is White Diamond calling Steven childish because he has been acting emotional and fragile for the entire story’s arch. This portrays a really mindset that “adults” often displays: that adulthood is about being flawless and emotionless and feeling superior to everyone, that opening up emotionally is a flaw, like those parents always telling their children “don’t cry, you’re not a baby”, “why are you always so sensitive?”, “you’re not supposed to act like this”.
When White Diamond tells Steven he needs the Crystal Gems because they are inferior to him, she is actually talking about herself, her court, the Diamonds, Pink Diamond. She needs those who she considers “inferior” and “weak” so she can continue abusing them to assert her fake supremacy and perfection above everyone else. This is often how toxic adulthood works in our society.
It’s out!
I illustrated for Disney’s MULAN book “Mulan’s Lunar New Year”, (you can see the book here!) a children’s book about little Mulan spending Lunar New Year with her family.
It’s my first book and I want to share some illustrations :D [*will also have this book at my table at CTNx 2018 this year on display at T55!]
Looking back, there are lots that I want to improve on the crafting of my drawings for this book, but overall… I’m really glad I get to illustrate and to remember the joy and excitement I had celebrating Lunar New Years and lighting fireworks with my parents as a kid.
It was pretty magical.

I’m back on making wholesome, friend-loving memes
Bryan Konietzko: “As one of the primary gatekeepers of what is canon in the Avatarverse, I have to make it clear that Ming-Hua was born without arms, due to a congenital disorder. This is a cool alternate interpretation by Eugene, though!"
Joaquim Dos Santos: "If the story did not make you somewhat sympathetic to Zaheer and his gang, then maybe this image, which captures them in an earlier time, before life’s trials and tribulations have hardened them, will."
