Every single white lesbian who has spent years complaining about the lack of lesbians on screen had better support The CW’s Black Lightning.
Anissa Pierce (portrayed by Nafessa Williams):
is a canon lesbian with superpowers (who goes by the name Thunder) who has, among other abilities, the power to make herself invulnerable (this means she’s essentially unkillable-although she can be hurt/injured!)
Her comic-canon girlfriend Grace Choi (Chantal Thuy) has already been cast:
Grace is half-Amazon, and has superhuman durability and rapid healing abilities-which also help to make her relatively invincible!
Also, they’re really cute in the comics:
So basically-support this lesbian, interracial, basically invulnerable couple on the CW’s Black Lightning-airing January 16th, 2017!!!!!
If a gem doesn’t look after their gem well it can get scratched which leaves scars on the gems physical form. Having scratches and thus scars is considered very ugly in Homeworld culture since they are no longer “perfect” or look as intended. It is common with quartz soldiers, however they can just about get away with it cause of their job roles and fighting (plus since they’re all sisters they like to view it more as trophies and medals of honor from fights).
For other gems, especially ones who are meant to be pretty like Pearls, this can really lower their rank and so fourth. It can be smoothed out but is very expensive and dangerous so it is rarely fixed.
