...if you Change Your Mind
I’m gonna miss writing about Steven Universe.
He isn’t done. This is the end of one story, but we always have more work to do. Self-growth takes effort, and even if his instinct to focus on everyone else can go too far, it’s still good, hard work to actively care about others. Steven’s story is about a kid who craves respect learning to respect himself, a kid bursting with love for others learning to love himself, a kid struggling with his identity making his truth known to himself and others. But there’s only so much you can do when facing a force that refuses to acknowledge your humanity, and while it’s a hard lesson for a kid who lives to help people, I’m so grateful that he ends the original series by learning that he isn’t obligated to justify his existence to a bigot.
It’s important to know how to change your mind. But it’s just as important to know when you shouldn’t.

OH MY GOD okay, O K A Y-
In the year and a half CYM has existed, how did it NEVER register in my mind that human Steven quietly gasps a desperate “..h-help-!” to Connie before she picks him up???
I’m super sad now, wowowow
Look at him. He’s splayed out on the floor, at first so determined to reach his other half on his own…
And then he realizes that, no. He can’t do this. He barely has the strength to reach out his arm. His body’s failing. He might be dying.
And so, our protagonist does something that… up until this point, is incredibly rare for him considering his martyrism, his constant denial of his needs and emotions, and his almost obsessive preoccupation with the wellbeing of others over his own.
At his darkest hour, Steven finally asks for help.
And boy does our incredible Connie deliver.
In sum: I’m sobbing, goodbye
WTF video games: Megaman starforce Patrick sprigs.
Ok, for anyone who have played the StarForce games, lucky you since I have no idea of where I can get them or if they would work on my old ds. But as of recently, ever since I found out about the game, I fell in love with the game including the characters and the storyline (but more on the characters, the storyline is kind of flat in my opinion). And with one of my personal favorite, I introduce to you the character Patrick Sprigs. However, there are a few things about Patrick that Capcom Should have cleared up or put in more detail at very least. And just about anything that is related to him. Like how did he meet Gemini or why does even have DID? That is what I want to cover.
1) His split personality, Rey: FIRST AND FOREMOST OF WHY THE HECK DOES PATRICK HAVE A SPLIT PERSONALITY?
a) Now let’s get one thing straight: the general definition for dissociative identity disorder (DID) or more commonly known as split personality disorder is that: ‘there are two or more personalities in one person’s conscience.’ And apparently, the known recorded cases for DID, a majority of them have reported either sexual and/or physical abuse. what does this mean for Patrick? Well, let’s look at the facts: he was founded in a DUMP SITE near Dream Park, sometime later on he develops Rey and wants to destroy the world. And the kid’s a fifth grader. meanwhile we get no glimpse of who or how he was being raised. Red flags everywhere!
b) But more specifically, how is it possible that Rey and Patrick even knows that the other even exist and that Rey knows fully well that he himself is just part of Patrick’s psyche? Look at the beginning of this video to see what I mean; Rey and Patrick’s discussion.
c) And on the other hand, for Gemini, why would he try to justify is actions by calling out all the horrors of the world when it’s obvious that he just as happy showing off that he wanted to do it for his own amusement and bring Patrick along with him?
2) Where and for how long did he and Gemini have been together?
a) That will be the question for the ages, but if I remember correctly in the English dub of the anime he said that he actually mastered EM wave change and in the anime and games he is one of the toughest bosses Geo has, so it does imply a long time no doubt.
3) Why did Cepheus revive Gemini and he is still with pat in the second game? a) Maybe he found something in him that showed that he actually cared for Patrick?
4) The Alternate Future’s EM beings have different personalities then their original counterparts, but not Gemini sparks IF.
b) In this dimension, there are no humans –after the Le Mu incident, of course- so this one is iffy, but since Patrick and Rey don’t exist anymore here, how is it that the black and white halves individually have separate personalities and transform into two bodies if one assumes that they are just one sentient EM being? Look at video: MMSF2 dragon ApolloFlame part 3/4
c) Back on the subject at hand, let’s just assume that despite the title having the word ‘Alternate’ in it, it really is a parallel version of the main universe. Meaning that very thing that has happened there is completely different to the one we know of and let’s not forget that none of them even knew that megaman even existed. So if that is the case, wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that this Gemini is acting of his on his own accord and the one we know and love is hiding something personal?
This is something that I made up a about two years ago about the character analysis Patrick sprigs from the series: Megaman Starforce. How he could have came to be with his split personality of Rey and why Gemini is with him in the first place at the whizzaps of the second game after the first. Or do any of you think I’m overanalyzing it all?
(ps. the video’s link will be added on later after revision) p.s. I will be reviewing this and editing it to make it better and more understanding.
