Christmas is coming so here are some tips you may find useful. Can be used for any occasion, not only Christmas! 

Some of them I did myself and they made the reciever very happy. Have fun with this, inspire yourself! 

Handmade:

• Bottle filled with their favourite candy

• Painted mug with mug cake recipe and tiny bit of ingredients inside
• mermaid blanket made from 2 blankets (it IKEA they have very cheap blankets)
• Cute handmade stuffed animal (lots of easy tutorials on youtube!)
• Homemade cookies in a pretty jar 
• Voodoo doll keychan

Using your pictures and photos:

• Mug with a photo (Better than T-shirts, they usually don’t look nice)
• Collage on a notebook

Bought:

• Go through second hands, you can find nice stuff there - then you can make for example nice winter set - gloves, beanie and a sweather. Make sure to wash them! Also don’t buy underwear or socks at second hands. 
• Candle set - there are a lot of nice smelling candles that you can find for a very good price, take some and with a little decorating and nice packaging you got yourself a candle set 
• Nail set - again, you can find good and cheap nail polishes, some file and nail clippers, stickers etc. 
• Art set - art supplies can be very expensive, but if your friend isn’t a professional, some coloured pencils and antistress colorbooks will are a cute gift
• Bathing set - bath bombs, scrubs, soap,..
• Honestly set of any kind, they can be found very cheaply and you can play with the packaging to make it look nice 
• Look through secondhand bookshops! 
  
• Phone case (you can also paint it)
  
• Fairy lights (cheap at dollar store or pepco in Europe)
  

Add to the list if you want! Have fun with these, it’s always nice to make someone happy.

so… Why would Greg be balding in this picture he took with Rose/Pink which was supposedly taken before Steven was born? Greg still had his full head of hair when Steven was born, so how could this picture exist?

Stop me if y'all’ve heard this before, but I just brought together a Steven Universe theory. 

So there’s a theory going around that White Diamond has the power to alter memories, right? This is supported largely by Centipeetle’s drawings where her memories are ‘whited out.’

She also draws her and her crew with green hair in all pics before the Whiteout. That could just be for the sake of ease, but you never know.

It’s also generally accepted that the attempt to remember is what worsens the corruption.

Now this’ll seem like a tangent, but it’ll all come together by the end.

We are all pretty familiar with this image by now:

Now I’d like to juxtapose the above with the following, focusing mostly on the hair.

You could try to say that the dark blue hair in the mural is just her cowl, but take a closer look at the gif. Even if that is the case, something is off.

While we can’t very clearly see her hair color in the above gif (though given that it’s the exact same shade as the rest of the cowl when there’s enough light to shine on both her lips and her diamond makes me inclined to believe that it is a shade of blue, rather than white), we can see that it does not go across her chest as it does in the modern day:

Now, some people who have pointed out the hair change just chalk it up to the crewniverse having been unsure of her design. While that’s not impossible, it does seem super unlikely lmao.

What seems more likely to me personally, and this is where I’m gonna tie it all back together, is that Blue changes because of White Diamond (or her currently unknown agents) directly.

See, we know a couple things. One, that Blue believes that Pink was shattered by Rose via a Sword:

(Can’t find a subbed gif, but there’s her whole “It was a SWORD” thing during the trial.)

Two, that Rose’s sword can never shatter any gem, much less a Diamond:

So here we have:

* Centipeetle having a tampered-with memory
*Centipeetle having white hair (but drawing herself and her crew with green hair before the white diamond memory tampering)
*Centipeetle having named the diamond authority as the people who tampered with said memory
*Centipeetle being corrupted as a result.

*Blue having blue, or at least, noticeably different hair before Pink’s shattering
*Blue having misinformation (or faulty memory) regarding Pink’s shattering
*Blue now having white hair.

Soooo tldr: White Diamond fucked with Blue’s memory just like she did with the Centipeetle crew’s. This left all of them with white hair.

And just for shits and giggles, let’s have a bonus round.

Guess who else has solidly white (and not tinted, as with Holly Blue, Opal, Malechite, Jasper pre-corruption, etc) hair?

Another corrupted gem.

Bonus bonus round:

If White Diamond tampering with memories gives gems white hair, and if that is also tied to gem corruption, and if touching on the forgotten and/or altered memories quickens that corruption, it would add an entire other dimension to Yellow Diamond wanting to get the trial over with as quickly as possible. (Also, why she wants to keep Blue away from all of Pink’s stuff, beyond that just being her style of grieving)

If White Diamond altered Blue’s memories, as I suspect she did, then Yellow (who hasn’t changed, as far as I can tell) would want to prevent any corruption of Blue that might come as a result.

 ♫ Wouldn’t you rather forget her? ♫
