It's strange when you take these characters for granted and don't think of the people who put work into creating them... Turns out I loved a lot of the work Croker did...

When it's chill, playing with other people really is something else... that sense of being a small part of something bigger without feeling small. Like the song is a living thing unto itself and we are just vehicles for it's spirit.

There's nothing wrong with going solo. You really can't jam with other people if you're not comfortable with yourself. I've had a few other musicians call me egotistical, but it's just a personal thing for me and they don't realize how they've invaded that sacred space by demanding the chance to ride my coattails.

Even if it's just you playing for you, you're making a scene. How obscene! XD I guess that's one way to look at it ^__^

So it would be another underdog thing for me to challenge myself with and would be worth a shot at least for a while... Although I've exhausted all of my potentially compatible candidates in my immediate vicinity, so maybe that comes later...
On another note, if you cut yourself off so only your needs are in your vessel, there won't be much material aside from what you've already worked with, which can be fine for refining what you already have, but not good for moving forward with new pieces once the kinks have all been smoothed out... I've spent a lot of time in my life just thinking alone. I can't do without the community I've become a part of, they've been such a rich data vein. Being alone for so long really does stuff to a guy. And the hits keep coming for now... in this state of wanting and not having a relationship...
The step I haven't been taking is recording my songs and compiling them in a dispensable package.

it's weird that - like art is often at the core of who we are, and yet - so many times in life we actually have to fight against instinctual forces to get it out into the world. Like I know so many artists who couple up and then it becomes about - providing and mating and those types of instincts. Maybe it's just about what instinct is stronger in each individual. The instinct to create vs the instinct to procreate. And interestingly, sometimes even just flat out the instinct to survive even. There are definitely times in my life where - the urge to create definitely trumped all other things. I don't see why it couldn't be both... Haven't there been lots of great artists who were married? Couldn't it be a source of inspiration in itself?

It seems to me that Rose Quartz gems are made to be battle field medics. To protect and heal injured soliders... Which is probably why exposure to the Earth made her rebel. lol

yeah Rose is a cold blooded killer lol I think she was a warm blooded killer... She is the type who must have felt horrible for what she'd done. I wonder if the business with bismuth and the super-weapon came before or after Rose supposedly killed pink diamond...

I don't care if I ever make it big or even make a living with music. It makes me happy to play and make people smile or think. Don't even have that here. There's zero music scene. Unless you count karaoke and rap/pop festivals. Even if it's just you playing for you, you're making a scene. How obscene! XD

Cool. Glad you like it here, Portland is great. I miss the way it was, but it is still a fantastic place to live. I have lost a handful of friends who have had to move away, couldn't afford it anymore. Bummer. Luckily, after being here so long, I still have some great longtime friends. I play several instruments, but guitar has been my main instrument for a long time. Music is the best! . . Good luck with your music, I would check it out....so, when you get stuff out post it here. (question, is your sig Grateful Dead reference?) I can't afford it either. I haven't had a "real job" in over a year. After I quit, I tried couchsurfing for a while so I could get back on my feet, but I never could stay long enough to get my shit together. I gave up and decided it would be better to be a homeless, penniless troubadour and retain my autonomy of initiative. Shortly thereafter I found the coffee shop. They do music stuffs here all the time. I just hung around and didn't leave until there was an opening and now I'm on this work trade thing that will hopefully become a paid position at the new location. These folk have become a family to me, and I'm done working for people who don't trust me. One of the best summers of my life. I will definitely do that, and yes it is.

I've been pretty lazy about it, but I have the content, and cover art. Portland, Oregon taught me that I am supposed to be a musician and I've scarcely been happier. Hi. Well, cool. What is your deal... Solo, band, guitarist, bassist, etc.? Also, we live near each other... I've been here in pdx for about 23 years now. I'm also a musician (and archivist/taper/video maker). Right now I'm a solo guitarist / singer /songwriter. Ubiquitous. Portland is pretty frickin rad even though I'm post-gentrification.... Been here about three years myself. My favorite coffee shop is moving into the basement of a church because the building we were in has been sold.

California's central valley has taught me that I'm supposed to be a musician who never makes a career of music. I hate this place. I don't care if I ever make it big or even make a living with music. It makes me happy to play and make people smile or think.

Most I've played of 2E is the original Baldur's Gate games. Loved those games. Yea, it's easy when your Dungeon Master is a piece of software... >__>

I have seen every episode at least a few times. I really like any episode that has to do with Garnet... She's so cool.
Also, I want to see Steven Fuse with other humans. List of possible candidates: Renaldo: he would be totally down. Lars: would have to happen on accident but their fusion would get into it. Onion: who knows what nefarious end he would hope to achieve as a fusion... Greg: Because he never did get to fuse with Rose.
I'm curious if Steven can fuse with a Gem and another human at the same time or would being fused with another Gem force the human out because incompatible?
Then of course there's fusing with Garnet and Pearl... The whole mechanic of fusing allows for a very, very large number of potential characters since you can fuse with multiple individuals at once.
