@Loony Yea, the Nerd Herd should be a thing, and Sodalite should be a crossover member! And if Spinel ever sees Frodite doing that you can bet she'll immediately start trying to manipulate her invisibility so that she can "melt" as well.

Hm, maybe Wikipedia isn't what I'll use then, but it does at least seem decent for giving me a cursory look at stuff. And yeah, romanizing words from various languages is always a troublesome thing, I should probably just try to hear it pronounced.

@Loony Lol those both sound great, maybe you should just make a transcript of them or something.

Hm is Wikipedia any good? I know it has it's problems but it's normally my favorite thing for when I need general knowledge about something. I think I can at least say that I sort of know what New Roz/Nowruz is now, and that it's typically celebrated on March 21 or 'better stock up on allergy medicine now or go through weeks of hell' day for me.

@Loony XD that sounds like a pretty great story, I love little family moments like that.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Loony Okay, you do that! I wish I could say more to make you feel better. Has educating this group helped, maybe in an 'appreciate the small things' sort of way? I've decided I'm going to read whatever sources I can find about Kurdish people so I won't be stupid about your stuff anymore!

@Loony That really does sound painful, I wish I could say something comforting but it's difficult because I can't really relate at all. I mean, I do sort of know what it's like to have to grow up way too early, but not like that and not for those reasons. If it's any consolation you've certainly inspired me to educate myself about Kurdish people, so there's that. I really hope it isn't exotifying to say but I find your heritage really cool.

@Loony I'm okay except for the road trip thing. I'm so sick of not being home. Sorry to hear you're literally sick though, please take care of yourself and get better soon!

We Are the Crystal Gems

@pyroman I'm not doing too bad, finally returning home from another freaking trip.

We Are the Crystal Gems

Hey guys, looks like I'm on team "only person awake" again.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Akayaofthemoon Hahaha for some reason I love that color for Spinel, it's just so nonchalant just chilling there pretending not to be gray even though it sort of is lol. ...and yeah the fact that I just typed that tells me I really need some sleep.

We Are the Crystal Gems

@Loony And then Spinel would weirdly try to comfort her but not be sure how to because she still doesn't understand how to respond to emotions at all. And it pains me to say it but I think I may need to go back to bed soon.
