I think it's a mistake to try and use mundane gems are you go to point of reference as they aren't magically inhanced
Add to the fact we got a couple brand new despair holes to be torn open. Hell our whole team for the most part got very deep pits ripe for exploitation and the ones that don't do not have the power
I know she once broke Lapis' Hydrokinetic Chains, but I don't think she's ever used proper Hydrokinesis. She does have the ability to send out an Aura of Despair, which... inconsistently effects non-gems like Connie (Sometimes Connie is immune, sometimes she isn't)
This becomes significantly less impressive due to the show establishing that the Crystal Gems were never anything more than a pantomime that Pink Diamond put on to entertain herself - how actually competent they are as warriors is cast into doubt given that their leader was secretly controlling both sides of the conflict.
Pretty much my take - although again, Yellow Diamond is head, shoulders, torso and waist above the other two - with the exception of how to estimate the effectiveness of Blue's despair aura. If he was already fired up, I'm optimistic that Father would either shrug it off, or actually become more powerful, because Father's reflexive coping mechanism in response to sadness, inner doubts, and other such emotions is "get angry and go hit something."
That headcanon isn't really supported. Rose had long since abadoned her Pink Diamond ID, and the Gems are constantly shown as skilled warriors who have been battling monsters for centuries. I don't know where you're getting that Amythest isn't trained: the reason Jasper beat her isn't because she's unskilled, it's because Jasper is absurd, she is perfectly formed, as Peridot said, the ultimate Quartz. She's absurdly strong and tough, about on par with us in our base state. Amythest is a "runt," the Gem equivalent of physically disabled. It's not that she's unskilled, but she couldn't remotely match Jasper at brute force, and Jasper is excellent at forcing foes to fight on her terms. She was someone with the Gem version of a congenital birth defect fighting basically the Captain America of Gems, no shit she got beat, doesn't mean she was poorly trained.
Ok, with Amethyst, there are other reasons she didn't get proper training, mostly from being the gem equivilant of having a genetic disability that made her incredibly tiny and I think incapable of speech early on?
I actually argue the opposite here, Father's biggest weakness is his willingness to give up to despair. If he gets sad he has a hard time getting mad; and even if he does fly into a massive rage he might just... give up, like in Operation: Z.E.R.O.'s actual story. Like, Father isn't Lapis who was able to shrug it off because she always feels like that, he is a man who has rapid mood swings that can be flat out crippling.
Yep. Newborn Amethyst was about as close to a human infant as a Gem can get. And, not to mention, she is the youngest member of the team other than Steven. She was born after the war, and, given her general personality (IE being kinda lazy and generally undisciplined), it makes sense she wouldn't be as skilled as the others, especially since, as the only one of the CGs who was actually built for fighting, she seems to be very strong by default, about on par with Garnet despite Garnet being a fusion, and more then enough to fight Pearl to a stand-still, despite old bird mom being far more disciplined. Amethyst may have the least combat aptitude on the team, but she's by no means a slouch. Unfortunately for her, Jasper is even stronger, and considerably MORE trained, so....That Amethyst lost to Jasper isn't so much of her being unskilled, she's the least skilled CG but clearly talented, so much as a function of Jasper being absurd. The only CG who could take her was Garnet, and, as Jasper would note, she...Technically isn't fighting alone.
I'd be a bit cautious about relying on that to infer how Father would stack up to Blue's Aura. After all, Father's first defining character moment of the Quest was his rage not guttering out against Pappy like it did in canon.
He did fugue sate
I think it's a good idea to maintain decent relations with as many people on the board as possible, even if some of those are a bit galling. I don't trust the government and I'm pretty sure they'd throw us under the bus if it really came to it, but we shouldn't give them a reason to. Help them out, do a mission when they ask and let them (and us) profit off of Patriarch propaganda, with the understanding that we're not exactly their lapdogs. As long as we contribute to a semblance of stability and refrain from crossing any lines that we wouldn't really want to anyway, we should be able to stay low on their priority list.
I agree with your point over all but especially these selections. Because like out side my standard Revenge on mandark, fuck Chris, Providence is on the shit list, don't trust the cat nor black hat and mister Squid has been to quite for my liking
Wait, wait...I think I figured out what this is, and why Skips is getting headaches...So, the Aka Manto guy appears to be Zak Monday, almost certainly, right? Now, Zak has the power to mentally influence cyprids, right? Monday has the same power, although his also causes physical agony to those affected...So...Skips happens to be a yeti...Which is a type of cryptid...You see where i'm going here, eh?
I haven't watched The Secret Saturdays or Regular Show, so no. Could you please clarify for me?
Skips is a yeti, which is a type of Cryptid. The Aka Manto who has been opposing us appears to be Zak Saturday and/or Monday (most likely Monday), who possess a psychic ability to compel cryptids to his will, and, in the latter case, do so even to the point of following suicidal commands, or simply inducing immense pain. Skips has been suffering from headaches and acting weird, including entering a trance like state where he cannot remember what he's doing and tries to injure himself. The implication I am making is that Zak is trying to use his mind control on Skips for some broader purpose.
Honestly, I would like to negotiate with the Warden, mostly because he and Father are actually surprisingly similar characters at core, (vague and broad paranormal powers that are never explained, traumatic backstories relating to abusive fantasy-forbidding fathers, hating children while also being themselves fairly childish, in all the worst ways), but I don't know if Father or the Warden would be willing after the...Incident. The good news is, the Warden isn't a major threat so long as you aren't in Superjail. If you are in Superjail, he's basically god, but hopefully we can avoid that.
No one messes with our Bros that is one kid who's gonna bake.
You had a quest with Total Drama? Can you give me the link for it?
Campaign, not a quest, ran in DVV 3.0. We called the game Total Drama: Knock Out. It was a real blast!
Is there anyway I can see it? It sounds amazing.
We'd have to clean up the logs. A summary of what happened might be more exciting than a line-by-line breakdown.
It's cool
