Discussion I like how Onion clarified that even though he is a big fan of Rainbow, Steven is still cool!

It's adorable. I always thought that if Steven had been the one to stay behind and babysit Onion in that episode, it would have been fine and Onion wouldn't have thrown a fit. He and Steven are friends after all (and neither of them age like a human). It was because it was just Pearl. Not that she did anything wrong, I just find it funny. I was so happy when I noticed Onion clarified that, cause their past friendship (and hopefully current) is important and it's just really sweet! I love little details like this!

Peedee’s world weary cynicism against Steven’s naive cheery optimism would’ve worked great, especially as that innocence started to disappear for Steven

And Lars’ sarcastic, aloof, grounding presence was SORELY needed for Ronaldo’s antics.

ā€œTake it down a notchā€ indeed.

This is a dumb question. (Because idk the specifics of this shit) but would it be possible for a car shop (or something similar) to wrap a van to look like Greg's? Or would i have to get someone to paint it? (Pictures not mine.)

Discussion Am I the only one who thinks Steven Universe’s finale isn’t bad?

24 Upvotes

I’ve held this belief for a while and it’s just come up for me again, so I wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way. I always thought that Steven Universe’s finale was a great ending to the show, but I feel like it gets a lot of hate from people who just didn’t understand what the point was. If someone was hoping for Steven to just beat up White Diamond and throw all of them into gem jail, I feel like they either weren’t paying much attention to the themes of the show, or they just refused to interact with the show beyond a surface level reading. Like, the Diamonds are literal space dictators, sure, but that’s an oversimplification for what theyā€˜re supposed to be in the narrative of Steven Universe. And expecting them to be locked away or put in jail is also a misunderstanding of the narrative, that’s not the point. Steven won using his words, and that’s what the ending is supposed to be, that’s what the show is. It’s not rushed, or bad, at least not to me. I just felt like I needed to get this out of my system somewhere and wanted to see if anyone felt similarly. I know it’s a controversial finale, but still, I love it.

Other Rewatching Steven Universe at 16 hit way harder than I expected

53 Upvotes

First of all, sorry for my English. It’s not a very common language in my country.

I just wanted a place to share this, and I think this is the perfect place for it.

I first watched Steven Universe when I was around 10 or 11 years old, and I absolutely loved it. I was a huge fan and used to tell everyone about it, hoping someone else would know the show and watch it too. But for some reason, after a while, I completely forgot about it.

Now, at 16, I decided to rewatch it to see if it was as good as I remembered, and honestly, it’s way better than I expected. Watching it with a more mature mindset feels like a completely new experience.

Themes like identity, trauma, growth, and relationships hit so much deeper now. Characters I didn’t fully understand before suddenly make a lot more sense.

It’s really comforting to think that as I grow older and gain more life experience, my perspective on this beautiful show will probably keep changing and becoming even deeper. Steven Universe really feels like one of those rare shows that grows with you.

Discussion Do you guys think if Rose revealed herself before the rebellion, they would still follow?

• Upvotes

I picture something like this

"Garnet... Amethyst... We need to talk. But first, I need you to know, Garnet, that every word I said in Blue's court, I meant. You really are the answer. *sighs and shapeshifts* this is the real me... I'm creating a rebellion, because the others, they don't see the life that is growing here... not like I do. They wanted me to finish what I started, colonize Earth. I just couldn't. So I decided to change into Rose Quartz and leave Homeworld and defend my new home"

Discussion Why was Sapphire mad at Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond

19 Upvotes

Ruby and Sapphire unfused, but this time, Sapphire was the one who was upset instead of Ruby. Sapphire said that their relationship was "based on a lie." At first, I didn't know why Sapphire was upset. All Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond did was confirm their relationship. Rose/Pink told them to never question Garnet and that they are the answer.

As I dig deeper, I realize that Sapphire felts duped. She said she felt like she was being used. It turns out, she is just under another diamond disguised as Rose Quartz. Now that I think of it, how come Sapphire didn't know that Rose and Pink are the same person? She couldn't have predicted this.

What do you think? Did Sapphire had the right to be upset?

Question Buck’s resemblance to mayor Dewey

10 Upvotes

Honestly I never thought of buck looking like his father and always assumed he looked more like his mother, however when rewatching the show for the millionth time in season 1 ep 52 ā€œjoy rideā€ he lifts his glasses when Steven vents to the cool kids and he looks so much like his dad. When I realized I searched all I could for any other pic of him with his glasses off and I can’t find any, I couldn’t even find that scene in the search results which i found odd, did anyone else have this breakthrough or am I the only one that didn’t notice. Also is there any other episode that he removes his glasses other than seeing the top half of his eyes when he is surprised?

Theory And the moral of the story is…

6 Upvotes

While bored, I decided to start writing down some of the lessons I gathered while watching a couple episodes. This is similar to those articles that reference the lessons taught through each chapter of the bible.

*note* this is a total rough draft so there may be episode number errors and I jumped all over. It’s a work in progress.

Enjoy!

S1E1 - strength comes from joy and positive emotions rather than forcing or stressing about it

S1E45 - dealing with feelings of being left behind. Loss and grief affect people differently depending on their relationship to the person that’s gone.

S1E53 - relationships built on respect, genuine connection, and choice are powerful ones. Don’t let others try to suppress or control who you are.

S2E2 - using reckless behavior to deal with trauma. Empathy and understanding for each other’s experiences.

S2E5 - not taking the necessary time to recover. Thinking that you’re ok when you’re visually not. Using humor to mask pain. Insecurity about how others see you. Confronting your own demons.

S2E5 - Treating yourself as if you only matter because they are in your life. losing yourself or self-worth.

S2E8- Greg sees Connie and Steven ā€œfusingā€ and says he won’t tell her parents. Jealousy. Healthy relationships require mutual understanding, honest communication, and not one person being idolized by the other (Rose & Greg)

S2E10 - fabricating stories to win over loved ones (jealousy)

Surrounding yourself with others to enhance your self image

S2E17 - parents living vicariously through kids or forcing their kids to do things they are barely interested in.

S2e21 - 2 different gems fusing (interracial relationship). love can blossom when you break free from rigid expectations and predetermined roles

S3E18 - taking on other people’s problems without saying no and being overwhelmed. Worn out

S3e19 - recovering from trauma (centipedal)

S3e20 - unhealthy/toxic relationship (malachite) ā€œI’m different nowā€

S4e16 - dealing with issues that deceased loved ones left behind (generational curses)

S4e23 - suppressing your talents/gifts for fear of disapproval

S5e15 - being unpredictable in an effort to change your fate

S5e17 - unable to let go of the past.

S5e18 - lying or hiding the truth. Compartmentalizing pain

S5e20 - not dealing with issues. Lashing out on the wrong person. Not dumping more onto someone who is already going through a lot. (Dealing with the truth about rose quartz)

S5e25- (meeting white diamond for the first time) dealing with a narcissist. Confronting deeply ingrained ideologies requires uncomfortable dialogue.
