anyway im v picky about alistair’s characterization bc a lot of people tend to erase his insecurities and flaws and bad traits and?? idk thats entirely part of him it just rubs me the wrong way that people picture him as the lovesick puppy/prince charming because yeah? he’s also a skilled warrior? he’s also a petty lil piece of shit when he wants? he’s also a young man that has to struggle with survivor’s guilt and being an abuse survivor? he’s way more than everyone’s sweetheart tbh……………. stop oversimplifying characters its almost 2017
Whatever you do, do not imagine Cullen Rutherford slowly going gray.
Don’t think about the specks that first start showing up in his stubble.
Or the streaks at his temples that slightly emphasize the worn creases around his eyes.
And for the love of the Maker, don’t even consider the scattered strands that blend into the blonde at first, but that his love notices when she runs her fingers through his hair. Or how she sees, but doesn’t say anything, as slowly more appear, each a reminder of the years they’ve spent together and the trials they once faced.
Alistair and a non-human noble Warden are a couple until he becomes King. Since this Warden can’t become Queen (or Co-King if you wanna go that route) and neither is looking for the mistress option, they break up. And they’re both upset about it, but after the day is saved and a year has passed, they go back to being the best of friends. Exchanging letters.
Years pass. They grow. The Warden is the king’s closest friend and advisor. Rumors abound. And while they aren’t true, both the Warden and Alistair have fallen in love with each other again, 8 years later, older and wiser. And neither acts on it because they’re both too scared.
10 years pass. Both are lovesick. Alistair tells himself he’ll tell the Warden he loves them when they get back from their quest to cure the Calling. He doesn’t care about having a mistress now; he’s lived in a marriage of connivance long enough to understand it.
Alistair gets a letter. The Warden is coming to visit. Just as soon as they solve a question about the missing Wardens in Orlais.
Ok so it’s literally the middle of the night but I can’t sleep bc I feel like I broke the code or something (English is not my first language sorry for any mistakes plus im very tired so actually sorry for everything)
!spoilers ahead!
Ok, so… I don’t think Rose Quartz was the part of the The Great Diamond Authority BUT LISTEN UP first of all, she’s too small, second of all her gem isn’t a diamond and it’s placed on her stomach. Why the placement is so important? Well…
Both blue and yellow diamond have their gems on their chest, right?
And White Diamond’s gem is on her forehead.
There are two diamonds with a gem on their chest. And two diamonds (white and pink) with a gem on their forehead. It fits. Also there’s this:
Blue Diamond’s Pearl’s gem is on her chest. Blue Diamond’s gem is on her chest.
So if our Pearl’s gem is on her forehead it means Pink Diamond’s gem was also on her forehead.
And dont forget what Peridot said:
“Well, you’re a quartz. They’re huge, loyal soldiers”
So what I’m saying is Rose was Pink Diamond’s bodyguard but she killed the bitch and started a rebellion with Pink Diamond’s Pearl. This is also the reason why nobody is talking about Pink Diamond – it’s simply because she failed.
That is all, I can finally sleep in peace, goodnight
I LIKE THIS it also explains why all the gems ONLY call each other by gem name, nothing else, ever, and they call rose quartz, rose quartz. it seems like if she was a pink diamond they’d still be calling her that, the renegade diamond, or something.
The ‘Rose killed Pink Diamond’ theory is fantastic and is also strengthened by the mural we saw in a previous episode;
Rose is wielding a Pink Diamond in the mural and she’s surrounded by droids and what looks like Kindergarten drills/droids. Which leads me to-
We could theorize Pink Diamond was in charge of the experiment/technology development division of Earth- or at least in charge of overseeing Kindergartens, since the ship had landed on Earth so long ago and was absolutely covered in Gem-powered weaponry (and we know from Lapis they are actual imprisoned Gems). Rose, seeing humanity and growing to care for them, would strike out at the one who would be in position to deal the most harm to Earth and we know from previous episodes Kindergartens kill the planet from the inside.
Add in Garnet claiming Rose ‘Must have known’ about the fusion monsters, which insinuate Rose dealt with the Kingergartens (because I’m still fairly iffy the experiments were Homeworlds response to Sapphire’s and Ruby’s fusion since those things were there before all that and after the rebellion it was only Peridot who woke them up- and the clusters being there before would make even more sense as to why they were all disgusted by Garnet since cross-gem fusions were seen as literal abominations) But either way that comment claims Rose dealt with science and gem tech (and we know her personal room and weaponry use fairly high end tech) so Rose being subordinate to a gem who deals extensively with gem technology like an overseer for Kindergartens would explain Rose’s knowlege of all that.
It would also explain why Homeworld viewed the rebellion as so dangerous- since both Rose and Pearl defied their established castes aka Quartz being unfailingly loyal and Pearls being decorations, and Rose killed one of the leaders and won the ensuing war despite being a ‘lesser’ gem. That would make Rose’s story 100x better in my opinion- that she wasn’t already a ‘leader’ gem who just had a change of heart, but rather a subordinate gem who saw all the injustice her race were doing and couldn’t stand for it anymore and successfully killed Pink Diamond and defended the Earth. It could also be why Rose’s symbol had a triangle in the middle-
Not to show she is a Diamond but rather she killed one of the most powerful gems on Homeworld. Like a trophy or a warning not to mess with her, despite her playful demeanor.
Rose Quartz being an actual Quartz and not a Diamond who said ‘fuck you’ to the dictatorial Homework, caste system and their terrible leaders and kicked their asses 2k16
