This time, Youtube has demonetized Strelok’s channel due to the new copyright/duplicated content policies.
For those that don’t know, Strelok is in charge to make the sound effects for a lot of animators on Youtube like NCH productions, Camila Cuevas, Absolutedream, Pencilmations and even Mistery Skulls Animated.
He does have permission to upload fragments of his work and use his Channel as a portfolio , since professional audio designers are not common and usually hard to contact for independent animators or small animation studios.
That’s why I beg you guys to help him, giving a retweet of his post tagging @YoutubeTeam, asking them to make a manual check of his channel so he can get monetization back and keep helping us animators to give you all content with high-quality sound!
So I hear the new hate is that Pearl was an emotional replacement for Pink Pearl.
Okay. So:
*Pink Diamond and Pearl clearly did not get along. They didn’t hate each other, but they were awkward af. That one scene in NWOFA spoke volumes about their relationship – they didn’t know how to act around one another. Pink tried to make a joke, Pearl took it literally (of course), and Pink just sort of sighed and gave up. This scene probably played out a lot of the years.
*Speaking of years, Pearl was given to Pink “a few thousand years” before Pink was given Earth. It wasn’t some rebound thing – they had plenty of time to get to know each other, even if it was awkward, and they definitely weren’t even friends before Earth, never mind anything else.
*Pink never forced Pearl to act like her old pearl. She absolutely could have – she had that power, and if Pearl really was a replacement, why not make her act the part? She tried to encourage Pearl to have her own personality, and was thrilled when bits of it started peeking through, but she never forced anything on Pearl, which is important
*If Pearl was an emotional replacement, then she was really, really bad at it. “I was supposed to make her happy, I just… never could.“ Really, really bad at it
Pink/Rose and Pearl were definitely not a perfect couple, but Rose was capable of seeing individual gems for what they were. Her first pearl wasn’t interchangeable with the Pearl we now have. She let Pearl find her own self instead of pushing an identity on her. And given what we know about Pearls, that’s important.
which oc got stuck in one of those Little Tikes cars as a grown ass adult and had to get cut out of it in front of everybody at the neighborhood barbecue
In my opinion? Rose is both good and bad, like all the characters on the show. That’s why I love Steven Universe so much… You can see a character like Rose, and see all the good things she did, and how much she changed (especially near the end of her life with Greg), HOWEVER… You can also see that she was very flawed, and made a lot of selfish mistakes, including throwing some of her loved ones under the bus. She did a lot of awful things, and a lot of good things, just like any of us.
So yeah, I do feel pity for her. It’s not like she didn’t try to talk to the Diamonds, and change things the peaceful way (much like Steven now). It’s very sad to think, if they had just given her the time of day, and attempted to question their own faults, how many lives could have been saved? That’s pretty damn sad.
