Both

I wish Cairngorm remained black. He was a lot more alluring without the whiteface.

I wish Cairngorm remained inside Ghost forever. Ghost was a lot more alluring.

Cairn and Phos have the worst pity relationship ever.

Yeah nah, I found her quite forgettable.

Nice. They deserve it. But does this improve the chances for a second season?

You will need to buy the complete set of tie in jewellery first (BDs not included)

Apparently all the jewelry sold really well. They even sold the Phos one, which was particularly expensive.

Are you doing this intentionally?

Lapis a cute

Just watched the last episode and now it's time to read the manga. What am I in for, Anons?

Cute SoL antics with cute gems doing cute things in a cute manner.

A crash course in Buddhism

Shiny stones and fancy buddhist girls. Suffering occasionally.

Choose you cat

I was the user who first mentioned the 7 treasures in the other thread, well i came acrossed this site (chinabuddhismencyclopedia.com/en/index.php/Seven_Treasures) it wrote that the 7 gem treasures also represent the 7 noble/godly qualities in buddhism ( it's also called the 7 treasures of the noble ), so i went to dig a little more into this since it seems interesting.
Just a head up that i translated this from a translation of chinese scriptures -> english, so there could be some mistranslation
7 treasures :
1. Gold : is considered "noble" like one's own virtue or keping one's own moral sense to always be on the right track
2. Silver : because the mineral's surface usually shifts between black and white, it represents one's faith
3. Lapis Lazuli : represents the ability to listen or to learn/acquire new knowledge
4. Crystal : represents the conscience or the ability to feel guilty when one done wrong in order to be a better person
5.Agate: is for generosity and against one's selfishness (in some scriptures, it's Coral or Seashell that stands for this)
6. Pearl: in literal, it means to strive and work hard for your goal, but another meaning is to move toward the enlightenment
7. Ruby/carnelian/a red stone : represnt wisdom or discernment in some other scriptures

Some sites say that if one managed to have all these qualities they will find true happiness

Pawspophyllite

Then i aligned these with Phos' transformations throughout the series.
-First, we have the Crystal part which is Phos, at the start Phos was dumb and most of the time unaware of the trouble he cause others, but then by seeing the Amethyst twins almost got kidnapped because of his uselesness, Phos started to develop a sense of guilt or his conscience started to change, but he only truly wanted to change for the better when Antarc got mooned, i think this part will continue to develop as the story goes on.
-Next is the Agate part, Phos was willing to sacrify himself so Ruler and her brother coul get their family back and also exchange himself for cinnabar's safety, and Phos was a really kind child to forgive Ruler despite her betrayal. I guess in a way Phos learned to be generous and kind ??
-By the time Phos or NuPhos got the arms which are Silver and Gold, his faith in Sensei has started to shift and it crashed with Phos' moral to go against Sensei.
-Lapis Lazuli part pretty self-explained already, with Lapis' help LaPhos is able to gain new knowledge, see every detail in an analytical way.
-Pearl is self-explaintory too, LaPhos getting back from the moon with new knowledge, is a move toward the truth/enlightenment. Then again, we have a synthetic pearl here, it could be the opposite of enlightenment

So Phos still lack wisdom til he reach true happiness.

Would love to read you guys' thoughts on this

That's gonna be my World Palico

Feels like he agate part could also be applied to Wentricosus as well, seeing how she doesn’t want to use phos as a bargaining chip to get the rest of her family back. Overall a nice find, user.

Seems like you probably hit the nail on the head until proven otherwise to me

Paparadscha giving advice to Phos may count as the seventh treasure, although the idea that Phos will eventually get some part of Pads makes lot of sense.

yeah phos already received wisdom from paparadscha. we could get more drama out of there as well who knows.
I think Sensei himself set phos up to "evolve" and become better than himself. The only thing he can say when Phos got told about humans the second time was: "how far you've gotten".

Nice, I was trying to find the link between the treasures and the virtues but I couldn't find anything
I wonder how Phos is going to get the last treasure

>paddy has 7 holes
Do you guys think the moonies used him to create a 7-treasures perferct gem?

The against selfishness of the Agate part could also represent Phos dedication in doing the winter duties with Antarcticite. Phos not only looking to fulfill his own goals anymore (mostly doing nothing, avoiding work), but compensating his failures (e.g. with Amethyst) by unselfish duties.

amethyst all the fucking way or alexandrite

whats with the rumor going around that ichikawa drew loli porn?

Caren.

Not this shit again, we just had a thread about that garbage.

>edition
Why the fuck do you keep doing this?

You talk about your obsessions and shit.

i only just found out about tumblr apparently having a hissy fit and doing a witch hunt over it, can you link me to the thread about it?

i thought they were angry about incest? either way, fuck them.

...

>rutile and alex

oh, yes please.

This is my wife.

...

...

Are there any more funny pictures in yonkoma style like this?

Good taste.

But she's a nerd

dont sexualise the gems

Shame we don't get to see original Lapis interacting with the gems like Cinnabar, Antarc or Bort.

Why is lapis so often portrayed as something that looks evil or so.
She's just really smart, what is your problem.

Perfect wife material

Then you need to hurry up and find Shinsha a better job.

Gee, I dunno
Perhaps all the comments made about how she's manipulative and would rather satisfy her own intellectual curiosity over helping people actually pretty similar to how Phos was acting over Sensei and the Lunarians .
Plus, you can't quite shake off the feeling that Lapis is pulling strings in the background even if Phos is still pursuing her own goals at this point.

She is evil because Euclase said so

She's curious, so curious that she would die for her curiosity (She basically did), that's not evil at all.

Not evil, but someone who values her intellectual satisfaction over other people is not going be depicted as the nicest person ever. Not saying she was never nice or didn't like anyone, or that nobody liked her because that's clearly not the case, but still.

No actual personality provided other than "very smart" and comments about how Lapis was rather selfish and more or less liked playing people. The smug face helps, and it's easy to shift out the blame from Phos for the questionable shit she has been pulling and put it on Lapis' instead.
People just like portraying her as the serpent from Eden, that's pretty much all there is to it.

Original Lapis also gives off a different vibe from the other gems who are either varying degrees of nice and approachable, dorks, stoic warrior types or emos.

Feels like she looks more smug than evil in that image though

...

...

I know right, She's just incredibly smart and beautiful, and 'some' gems just can't appreciate that.

Because Euclase hates not being the smarterest.

Lapis and LaPhos was a mistake.

Why is Phos particularly unable to accept that Sensei may have a connection to the lunarians? Or what propells them to find the truth harder than any other of the gems? Is it the PTSD? The fact that they were never blamed for their mistakes which led to a spiral of self-blame and depreciation?

something is "wrong" with sensei and their whole situation. Their relation is built on very fragile, tenous grounds, yet the only gem with hard suspicion is phos.

do they have genders

Other gems didn't witness Shiro passing and sensei being very affectionate with it.

no
euclase was shown not to have any form of genitalia, why is this still a question

I'm pretty sure they did, or at least chose to lampshade the fact that "it" had a name when Phos brought it up.

cinnabar said everybody knows, most just accept the situation and the way sensei keeps stuff from them.
Phos wants to change things permanently though, because she is the most conscientious gem there is.

i was just curious since i'm watching it right now
most of them look like females

they look feminine but don't have gender. Sensei shapes them, and curiously he looks like a male. There is probably some commentary there.

In the anime yeah, they look like females.
In the manga is a little more obtuse, sometimes they look like females and sometimes like males.
Phos after the change looks like a male, that's for sure.

but the hips man THE FUCKING HIPS

im thinking mostly of body proportions, like slender limbs, hip and waist ratio and small shoulders. Compare with sensei.

It's obviously an attempt for Ichikawa to normalize grooming, woth an extra of incest and pedophilia (father figure). The obviously sexual way she frames the Amethysts during their introduction reveals more about her disgusting incest fetish.

ye but
> because she is the most conscientious gem there is.
Why tho, wasn't Phos particularly clingy to sensei? Wasn't Phos a dunce through and through? I chalked it up to their desire to make things right once they got the strength to do anything, as a way to cope/make up for their past failures.

Where did this Euclase vs Lapis meme come from

But how does it sell?

What makes Shinsha such a cute antisocial autist?

Don't forget that Phos also lost most of his memories too, so now there is probably less memories of how him and sensei used to be together and more of sensei being really suspicious

I think Phos is trying to find her place in the world. She spent the first three hundreds year of her life being lazy in the grass, she went through a lot of change in a short period of time and now she is trying to come to term with her new identity. What Phos originally wanted to do for Cinnabar she now wants to do for herself. She wants to find where she belongs in this crazy world.
