STEVEN UNIVERSE FUTURE
. REWRITTEN .
Episode three: Not my diamond problem
Note:the episode volly ball is canon in this rewrite. It is the second episode here and I consider it a decent episode of future.
With spinel being the pink diamond replacement, you’d think that having 2 gems acting has pink diamond would help things out. Well… as far as homeworld was concerned, there was still 1 pink diamond, the other…. Was just a clown who had an agate rank. This made the era 3 enforcement…. Difficult Spinel: For the last time:STOP! BUILDING! WEAPONS! Agate cut345: or what, your just a jester gem Spinel: and this jester gem beat up 3 war veterans. What makes you think you're gonna be any safer. Agate: You aren’t my diamond! Spinel: according to the diamonds, I am! Agate: but this isn’t a weapon, it just creates a beam of light that focuses in a certain area that parts the particles in that targe- i mean, selected area. Spinel: THIS WEAPON IS CALLED, A PARTICLE DESTROYER, THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT IT DOES! Agate: well FINE! Come on, this clow rock said we have to stop protecting the homeworld from threats. Back at the diamond palace. Spinel walked in looking very defeated, she had tried everything in the book, dressed like a high rank. And had even extended her entire body, well the last one she stopped because she just looked very stretched out. But the gems would seem to find any excuse to not follow rules, and sometimes spinel would have to get a diamond because homeworld gems didn’t want to listen, and rebel gems still resented them for corrupting them 6000 years ago. Well rebel gems weren’t much of the problem any way. But the homeworld gems were Yellow diamond: Oh hello spinel! You seem tired Spinel: i just don’t get it, why am the only one who the gems don't listen to. Aren’t i wanna of you guys now Yellow diamond: yes of course Spinel: then why won't they listen to me Yellow diamond: well…. Um Spinel: it's useless, i’ll think i'll just quit this all together. There’s no point in having a job you can’t even do right! Yellow Diamond:..... Maybe there's something I can do to fix this. Follow me. Yellow led spinel to her room, where yellow pearl was. Yellow pearl: hello my diamond, is there anything i can do for you today, at least 1 thing! Yellow diamond: Has a matter of fact there is. Could you please let me demonstrate something on you Yellow pearl: OF course my diamond Spinel: what is this Yellow diamond: you’ll see Spinel then watched her use her diamond powers to change yellow pears size from pearl sized to sugilite sized. Spinel: WOAH! Yellow diamond: pretty impressive, instead of destroying forms, I can change them, their size, their body proportions, anything. Spinel: cool! But how does this solve my problem? Yellow diamond: if homeworld wont see you has a diamond, i'll just alter you shape to be like a diamond Blue diamond: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! Blue diamond walked up to yellow: yellow, don't you think you should make home world respect spinel has a diamond, instead of “fixing spinel” Yellow diamond: but this is what spinel wants, right? Spinel was unsure. On one hand, the gems were not gonna respect her as a diamond if she did look like a spinel, on the other hand why should she have to change just to get some respect out of these gems, but on the other other hand, being shaped like a diamond did sound pretty cool. Spinel: WELP! I'm out of hands Blue diamond: what? Spinel: I mean, I agree with yellow. Blue diamond: but… well fine, it's your choice spinel. Five minutes later Yellow diamond: DONE! What do you think Spinel: i look….. Like a diamond! And spinel sure did. She had a dress akin to that of blue’s, a shirt akin to yellows, and she even had a cape. Spinel: jee im so happy that i could sing! in fact- iiiiiiiiiIIIIIIiiiiii, i can- Blue diamond: sorry spinel, but the person writing this doesn’t have a song in the budget! Spinel: Aw what!? Yellow: anyway don’t you still have work to do Spinel: oh ya! Has spinel ran off to finally get respected has a diamond, blue turned to yellow with angry face Blue: if this fails like last time. I will crack you Yellow: don't worry, what's the worst that can happen. Soon home world had a harder time defying spinel’s orders, because now she was truly a diamond, at least, diamond seized. At first, life seemed good, the gems no longer bothered (as much) to argue with her. But she realised that being diamond sized had its problems, for one, not every place is made for diamonds, some were at most built for someone opal sized. Sometimes spinel would just unexpectedly hit her head on things she’d normally slip right under. And then on her 7th day of being diamond sized, she discovered another problem. There was a hike that was meant to be led by steven but he was busy with other problems (will be covered in episode 4) so they needed some other gem to do it, spinel offered to go lead it, despite pearl’s protest, she still allowed her to go. This would be where a major problem would occur. Spinel: now walk very carefully, you don't want to fall and crack your gem Nephrite: ok…. Hey do you hear that cherry Cherry quartz: what Nephrite: sounds like cracking Pearl: amethyst Amethyst: don't worry its not my gem, Nephrite: no more like, rocks crumpling Spinel: probably no- She was gonna say nothing, but then the sounds location was revealed, the rocks spinel was standing on collapse and spinel fell down the mountain. Is now a bad time to say this mountain was on a floating base in the sky? Spinel: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHHHHH! Pearl: oh that's what I was afraid of. When spinels size change it multiplied her weight every square meter, this increased her weight which made the rocks collapse Amethyst: why do you think i ordered the group to stay 15 feet away, i knew DUH! Pearl:....well wonder’s we’ll never see. Amethyst: Now let's go save spinel! Peridot, float me after her. Has spinel was falling down the mountain, peridot manege to float near to her and amethyst carefully lassonde it around her foot Amethyst:now stop this thing Peridot: I'M TRYING! But i’ve slowed us down to only 18 mph less Amethyst: we need more power! Wait, I got it! If magnets can be created or have their strength increased by using electricity, Then…. Amethyst pulled out battery: TA DA!..... Peri why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost? Is it so surprising that i like to read every once in a while. Peridot: but how is that gonna work Amethyst: oh i'm just gonna clamp these prongs onto you. Peridot: OOoooh- WAIT WHAT Amethyst: just trust me Amethyst clapped the prongs onto peridot and everything stopped. Then spinel went up. Apparently the wip now acted has a bungee cord, and spinel was now going up Peridot: wait, if i was trying to pull this plate up and spinel is going up, doesn’t that mean- ! AMETHYST LET GO BE- to late Amethyst was now flying up with spinel, up over the mountain peak and back down of the spire. Into a lake. Spinel: OW! Me entire body hurts Amethyst: well at least you not cracked, hey what's that weird pink rock thats all long and jaggy Spinel then glitched out and amethyst then connected the dots. Amethyst: OOOOOOOooooooooooohhhhhhhh……. Needless to say, blue was not happy, the last time yellow did this, the gem had nearly been shattered. Yellow managed to fix her gem. But blue was still angry. Blue:I said this would happen. Yellow change her back right now Spinel: but then i can’t enforce era 3 rules, and that was the whole point Yellow: right? Blue: but this is ridiculous! Think about it, spinel, you had to alter your form for what, because people wouldn’t listen to you? You shouldn’t have to change yourself just because of others! Spinel was gonna retort back with something but then thought about it. Blue was right, she had changed herself because the gems didn’t listen to her. And when she thought about this more, it actually hadn’t solved the problem, they weren’t listening to her, they were listening to diamond her, and that hadn’t really been the spinel she wanted to be, not the jokester, always smiling, happy spinel, but the strict, straight face, monotone spinel that everyone expected of a diamond. Spinel: I guess you're right. I shouldn't have tried to change myself to suit others. Blue: good, now let's go back to how things were. Spinel: actually, i have a suggestion So spinel got a chance to now look more like a jester, wacky hair, one side of her face normal, the other painted in a pink and black plaid color scheme. Sure gems didn’t listen to her as much but at least she was just her. THE END oh wait there's more Back at the mysterious space station. The gems there seemed to be working overtime to complete their project. Mystery gem: so we have the rendering of her look. Now we just edit it to fix one of her problems. Any ways hows our spy going. Kyanite: oh its going great, its who the’ll least suspect. The screen would light up has one of the gems were talking to them, they said: thanks for helping me out, volleyball To be continued

The Backstory & Dropped Plot Thread List [VERY LONG]
While it began with a settled backstory, a direction in mind, and a lot of ideas, a lot of Steven Universe was left to grow while the show was being made. It seems to have taken a writer's playground approach to construction. While a lot of the ideas in the backstory were used, there were a ton of abandoned plot threads and elements. This is not a comprehensive list, but I cover a lot of them. Please chime in with your own! Laser Light Cannon: How did Greg end up with the cannon? Why did Rose give it to him? What about that totem pole with gem-like figures on it? How about the golf clubs with roses embroidered on it? Concerning Greg and Rose's relationship, there's still a ton of things we never learned. Cheeseburger Backpack: We never did find out the significance of the Lunar Sea Spire. I suppose the statue is supposed to resemble Blue Diamond... but it doesn't, really. There's a lot of ancient gem culture that's still a mystery. (The LSS was revisited, by the way, in Attack The Light.) Together Breakfast: One of the biggies: what is up with the Crystal Heart, which we're given to understand is the core of the Temple. (And, why is it a "temple?" What do gems worship? I can understand Cartoon Network being standoffish about depictions of religion in this political climate, even if they're fictional, but c'mon, this is a show that fearlessly showed animation's first lesbian wedding.) Also, what was the scroll that Garnet was burning, which got into Steven's breakfast? Frybo: Everything about Peedee. Cat Fingers: The Gem Sloop is shown one other time in the series, in storage in Pearl's head. Bubble Buddies: A lot of other things about the Crystal Temple (name assumed) are left mysterious, like how it was made and some things about the nature of its extradimensional space. It's crumbling now (and puts Connie in danger in the process). We also see a gigantic stone sword out in the ocean--since the Temple figure is of Obsidian, we presume that's a representation of her sword. We never see the temple in its original form throughout the whole series, not even in flashback. Serious Steven: The whole thing about the Ziggurat, and the event depicted on its mural, remains unknown. It shows Rose, but the gem she's fighting we don't know. It looks kind of like White, but her gem is in the wrong place. Also, what are those black figures in the background, and what are those hands coming up from below? Does that represent the Cluster? The way the pedestal turns when Steven shows up to collect the gem at its core seems significant, but what was the gem? Why was it waiting for Steven? Tiger Millionaire: Why is that Beach City warehouse used for civic functions despite the big hole in its side? There's also a lot of wrestling characters who don't show up again (except in its sequel, Tiger Philanthropist). Steven's Lion: The Desert Glass is never brought up again. It appears there's a whole class of gem that's not sentient, but still has limited intelligence. These are not revisited later, even in Future. Arcade Mania: A big one IMO, what was going on with Sapphire when Garnet was playing Meat Beat Mania? This is a heavy hint that Garnet was a fusion, of course (and before Giant Woman!), but what was happening to her is never explained. Giant Woman: It was nice to see the Heaven and Earth Beetles uncorrupted in Future (they're still called beetles though). The contents of the Little Beetle Bedroom are weird though, seeing as how they implied that the Heaven Beetle, at least, had some of her mind intact. And a little beetle backpack, and Sega Genesis, as well. (We can probably presume that this was an artist joke, though.) Also: we never see where the Earth Beetle was hanging out. Also, the two are never bubbled but put into a terrarium. And we never find out about the sensory powers of Garnet's visor, that allowed her to find them. So Many Birthdays: We see a grown-up form of Steven that doesn't match what we see in Future, but we can presume that Steven's physical form is fluid enough to explain that. Lars and the Cool Kids: Rose's experiments, or whatever they were, with plant life are not hearkened back to much, although the pink gems that appear when the moss blooms do show up later, in Rising Tides Crashing Skies. Onion Trade: Pearl seems upset when Garnet breaks her duplicating wand; what was it? Where did she get it? Was it one of the trinkets available for accessorizing Pearls at The Reef? Also: why was Amethyst annoyed that Pearl's stuff keeps falling down into her room (also mentioned in Cheeseburger Backpack) when Pearl keeps stuff in her head? Was Pearl's storage system a bit "leaky" before? Steven the Sword Fighter: We find out the sky arena was a platform Blue Diamond used to help oversee the colony's construction, but the significance of the statues is still not known. Lion 2: The Movie: Rose's Armory has a ton of things in it (some of them named in Rose's Scabbard) that are never referred to again. That giant penny, in addition to being an excellent reference to Batman, kind of implies that Rose tried her hand as being a superhero for a while. Beach Party: Not too much unexplained, although the gem's making new clothes for themselves is something that rarely comes up again. Rose's Room: Why does the whale in Rose's Room speak with Rose's voice? At this point, Steven has never heard it before. Also, why is the room's existence set and definite, unlike Sardonyx's room? Maybe the rules are different for fusion rooms. Coach Steven: It's a shame that Sugilite only got a speaking role in this one episode, probably because of the expense of getting Nikki Minaj again. This is an interesting episode for demonstrating that fusing can be dangerous too (which is called back upon when we get to Malachite). Also, the Communications Tower, which shows up again in Cry For Help, is interesting as an example of old gem tech. Joking Victim: What was up with that giant ice cream cone Mayor Dewey was unveiling? ("It melted, Gary!") An Indirect Kiss: The area around Rose's Fountain is interesting. Who built all this, Crystal Gems during the war? Where did they get so many of Rose's tears from? We also get an indication that Rose's animate plants, without her, were directionless. We can presume that Rose controlled them while she was around, while Steven's are more self-motivated, perhaps as an evolution of his powers. Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem: Lapis is crazy strong! Like, could possibly terraform a planet by herself strong! She can even travel in space under her own power! This is referred to later, in Future, but not explained. Another thing is the practice of gems putting other gems into object, which seems torturous. I hope that practice died out. House Guest: Man, that Geode seems ominous. I guess that's some heavy-duty duct tape Greg used, as it's still holding up. Maybe the gems, or even the Diamonds, found another way to fix it themselves. Space Race: Pearl is pretty amazing, even if her ship didn't make it out of Earth's gravity well. At the time we were left to assume that the ship's controls were an example of gem technology, but now it seems likely that they were her creation, perhaps adapted from Earth objects. Also, this is our introduction to The Barn, and the portrait of Greg's uncle and aunt, who we never find out much about, despite their picture appearing as late as Future. Island Adventure: The origin of the geodes on the island, and the mask fish, are unknown, although we do know the site ended up being the home of the Watermelon Stevens. Did they ever uncorrupt the invisible gem monster? Keep Beach City Weird: I guess we can presume that the gem from Horror Club was still in the lighthouse back then. Fusion Cuisine: The restaurant doesn't show up again, except possibly as a site for one of Steven's photos of Connie on his phone. Lion 3 Straight to Video: We still don't know the full nature of the extradimensional space that Lion connects to (and later Lars). We can suspect that part of it is similar to whatever gem technology produced the interior of the Crystal Temple, but not how it was able to bridge distances in space; gems usually used warp pads for that, not extradimensional spaces. There's trees in there, and grass, and a sun, but no breathable air. It seems to be connected with one of Pink Diamond's still-mysterious powers, which may explain why she didn't tell the other gems about it. Alone Together: The warehouse shows up again. Warp Tour: The nature of Warp Space is interesting. How robonoids are made is left up in the air, but we do know that Pearl experimented with one, and Peridot eventually got more when relations with Homeworld thawed. Horror Club: They never returned to the huge gem that Steven saves in the lighthouse, and we never return to Ronaldo and Lars' relationship. Maximum Capacity: Greg's stuff is still in Amethyst's room at the end of this episode, where I presume it's victim to the whims of her nebulous storage system. Now that Greg's rich, presumably he could find a place for all of it. Speaking of rich... Greg mentions his uncle has a mansion, and he has the deed somewhere! Marble Madness: The gem mutants subplot just sort of went away. Presumably there's still some forced fusions hanging around Earth. Maybe Yellow Diamond will spend some time hunting them up in order to try to repair them. Rose's Scabbard: What's the origins of the floating islands hanging over the Strawberry Battlefield? Open Book: Implies that Rose's Room has some kind of innate intelligence. Story for Steven: There's a ton of implied backstory in these flashback episodes, from Greg and Rose's relationship to the gem-influenced history of Beach City to the citizens' relationship with the gems, that we never find out more about. I feel like there's more than enough for a Steven Universe Past series, someday. Political Power: Mayor Dewey notes that the population of Beach City need their electronic distractions to avoid thinking about the fact that disasters keep happening, which is interesting. Ocean Town being somehow even worse off than Beach City is a hilarious joke, but it's also difficult to imagine how that could be so unless there's some huge, undetected gem threat lurking there. The Return/Jailbreak: The hand ship is interesting--it's not one of the Diamond's ships, it's green, and also not a whole arm. Why do gems build ships in the shape of body parts? Joy Ride: The fluid in Peridot's escape pod is interesting; Steven can breathe it, but it never comes up again. Reformed: The Slinker escapes and never comes up again (although it may be the monster the gems fight in the short where Steven unboxes his hot dog bag). Sworn to the Sword: Connie's swordfighting, while awesome, didn't actually turn out to be as important as her empathy, and her willingness to tell off gigantic gem matriarchs. Pearl mentions underwater and low-gravity training, which sound awesome, but we never got to see. Keystone Motel: Greg reveals that he knows Garnet's a fusion here. Onion Friend: There's a lot about Onion that's mysterious, although I think most of it was added as a huge joke on the audience, a gigantic red herring. Historical Friction: Helps fill in the blanks about the early history of Beach City (which appears to be the founding site for the US, like Plymouth Rock, in Steven Universe's alternate version of Earth). Friend Ship: The whole ship is interesting. It's implied that it was one of the first colony ships from Homeworld, which means Pearl and Pink Diamond may have ridden in one of them. There's more in later episodes, but they decrease in number as the show's focus narrows and the plot takes a stronger role. The Moon Base, the Jungle Moon and the shattered planet it orbits, the Star Incinerator, Emerald, what we see of Homeworld, and other things I'm sure, all hint to the larger picture around the show. What have you always wondered about?
Ever wonder what the subreddit's possible favorite episodes are? Look no further! Here we can pit every episode of the show Steven Universe together (Future not included) in a tourney to find the sub's number one! If you feel strongly about an episode and want others to vote for it, sound off in the comments!
These numbers are seeds. With bigger tournaments, seeding is important to prevent 'stronger' contenders from possibly playing against each other in the first round. Think about how awful it would be if "Jail Break" and "Mr. Greg" met each other as their first respective matches! That's a fight much more suited for the finals. If a seed with a lower seed (say in the hundreds) beats, for example, a top ten seed, this is known as an upset and it's pretty exciting! After seeding each episode, I inputted them into challonge.com, a bracket creator, to develop a tourney that would prevent any of the powerhouse episodes from colliding into each other as early as possible.
How did you determine the seeding?
I used the IMDb site provided here (sorted by user rating) to determine the most well-received episodes and gave them the respective seed. As such, "A Single Pale Rose," the most critically acclaimed episode (at least according to IMDb) has the first seed and is the 'strongest' contender in the entire tourney. This continues through "Change Your Mind," "Jail Break," "Mr. Greg," etc., before finally ending with the 154th and last seed, "Rocknaldo". This is far from a foolproof method, but it was the most non-biased way I could think of sorting this tourney!

MATCH 14: "The Zoo" VS. "Hit the Diamond"

Now, I know that a lot of people disagreed with my opinions on Sardonyx, and I feel like there might have been some miscommunication, so I’m going to spell out my current opinion on her and then move on. Sardonyx is a bully. She used emotional manipulation to hurt Amethyst and make herself seem better. That said, Pearl and Garnet are not bullies. They’re both unaware of how they’re hurting Amethyst. Pearl is blinded by the sheer joy she felt being Sardonyx, and Garnet most likely didn’t realize that the words she directed towards Sugilite were hurting Amethyst instead. Sardonyx is just like any other person in that she can change, so if something happens that I think will change her character, or if we see her again and she’s different, my opinion on her will change. I’m really surprised at how many people seemed upset by this interpretation. I don’t think I’ve had this negative a backlash on anything I’ve said, well…ever. I’ve responded to literally hundreds of comments about Sardonyx, which seems so strange to me because it was such a small part of my post, and I kind of feel like it took away the sense of friendly discussion in the comments. A lot of it was my fault, though. I think I just got tired of talking about Sardonyx, and started to get irritable, so I’m sorry if I came off strong on the subject. I think I’m about done talking about Sardonyx for now, so I’m sorry to tell you that I won’t be talking about her unless something new comes up. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, let’s get into the episodes. You guys know the deal; keep spoiler free and keep the hype low.
Episode 64- Keystone Motel
Steven, Greg, and Garnet go on a road trip. [Editor’s note from the future: These episode descriptions get more and more vague every time. What the hell is this crap?] Written and Storyboarded by Raven M. Molisee, Paul Villeco andRebecca Sugar
“Pearl!” Pearl turns around in fear
Okay, so things must still be very tense with Pearl and Garnet. I wonder how Steven’s dealing with his parents fighting in the house? This is the first time they’ve brought their arguments home, that I can remember.
“Looking for Peridot!...For a few days straight.” Man, she’s really trying to make it up to Garnet, huh? Something tells me it’s not going to work.
Wow, have you guys noticed how applicable ‘Tower of Mistakes’ is to Pearl?
Maybe you're better off with her I think she's better for you I forgot how great it felt to be us Guess I got carried away I had to use you to make me feel strong But I don't care about that now I see a tower built out of my mistakes And it all comes crashing down Is there something I can do Is there something I can do Is there something I can do Can I make it up to you? How I feel so far with this Stevenbomb.
“I’m going to prove to her that she can trust me again.” It’s not that easy, Pearl. That’s something that Garnet and Garnet alone can decide.
Garnet’s not even talking to Pearl? Interesting. While none of this is Garnet’s fault, it’s interesting that she’s not ready to talk to Pearl yet.
“Who wants to go on a roadtrip?!” Yes, please, get me out of this house!
“Well, I gotta drive over to the next state, Keystone.” “You mean the Keystone state?” “Right, the state named Keystone.” Okay, this dialogue is pretty fucking hilarious. But also, Pennsylvania’s just called Keystone, then? And also, they’re taking a roadtrip to Pennsylvania? How radical is that!
“I don’t like those brushes. They feel weird on your fur.” ???
Oh, he’s talking about when he turned into an Akira cat monster. Gotcha.
Okay. “Keystone Motel.” They’re going to a motel in Keystone.
“I can’t wait to get room service!” “You’re thinking of a hotel. We’re going to a motel. It’ll have a pool, and free ice, and it’s right next to the best diner in the world.”
Garnet’s coming? So, the second Pearl gets to the house, she leaves, huh? I guess she can’t even be near Pearl right now.
Man, Garnet isn’t even acknowledging Pearl. That’s rough.
“You’re choosing to take it personally.” “It’s fusion, Sapphire! What’s more personal to us than fusion?!”
This is really interesting. I guess that explains why Garnet can’t talk to Pearl right now. She has two conflicting ideologies that are probably extremely confusing for her.
Hm...Ruby has a fair point, I suppose. It’s okay not to be the better person and let your emotions rule when something this traumatic happens. Besides, not forgiving Pearl is probably the responsible thing, to be fair. She doesn’t deserve to be let off the hook yet, even if it’s terrible to see Pearl so heartbroken.
“The channels are all the wrong numbers.” This is just one of many hundreds of reasons why television is absolutely terrible. The internet is 100 times better.
“Can you use your future powers to predict what channel I’d love the most?” What a wonderfully mundane use of her powers.
Wait a second, that’s something that Sapphire just has? I thought it was something that Garnet got from being a fusion. Huh.
Hm. Sapphire seems to be ignoring Ruby’s need for emotional catharsis here. She’s looking into the future, but she’s ignoring how Ruby feels in the present.
“She’s just letting her emotions get out of hand.” “Not you, though?” “No.”
“Sapphire? The toilet’s frozen.” “Such is fate.” Holy shit that’s funny.
“How’d it go?” “Well, he wasn’t an ax murderer, so that’s good.”
Oh my god, I just realized that Sapphire was talking about the pizza.
Man, this is a complicated episode. I think I’d probably give Ruby and Sapphire space, but I’m not sure that it would be the right decision. They clearly need to talk it out between them, but Sapphire’s too stubborn in her assuredness to consider Ruby’s feelings here, and Ruby’s too hotheaded to have a civil conversation, so I’m not really sure how they’d be able to talk at the moment.
Also, I guess that’s Ruby’s weapon. It seems remarkably similar to Garnet’s. It’s possible, I suppose, that Sapphire’s weapon is future vision, maybe? I don’t know what else could be added to Ruby’s, besides another gauntlet, of course.
Oh, Steven’s mad now. It’s been a long time since he’s been really mad.
“I was so happy when Garnet said she’d come on this trip with me and dad. Home’s been awful. Here’s been awful. I thought you wanted to have a fun time, but everyone’s been acting awful, too. It just came with us! I don’t understand, is it, is it me?” Steven’s clearly confused about what’s going on to think it’s his fault. From the outside, it’s pretty clearly a fight between Pearl and Garnet, but I can see how it might be more confusing from the inside, especially for Steven.
“But we made him feel like it was his fault.” Hrm… I don’t know if I buy this. It seems a little too unrelated to what actually happened. Maybe it’s the catalyst for their emotional change, but it feels a little weak to me.
“I keep looking into the future, when all of this has already been solved, as if it doesn’t matter how you feel in the present.” Okay, they’re addressing the actual issues now.
“Garnet, how are you?” “Not now.” Well, at least she told Pearl that she wasn’t ready to make up with her yet.
Closing Thoughts-
This was a good episode. It was really nice to see Ruby and Sapphire again. It’s nice to see these characters, although I really don’t think we’ll be seeing much of them. I’d say that we’ll get to see them as a treat, but I can’t imagine many scenarios where we’d see Garnet unfused in a happy situation. Still, they’ve both got wonderful energy, and seeing them fight on their second appearance certainly wasn’t expected. Seeing Pearl try to make Garnet appreciate her was pretty sad. Actually, most of this episode was. There was just this growing sense of disappointment in the characters throughout this entire episode that really made me feel terrible. Not that that’s a bad thing, of course. The music was really lovely in this episode, and I enjoyed it a ton. Hopefully, we start to get some closure into this situation in the next few episodes. Onto the next one!
Episode 65- Onion Friend
Steven and Amethyst visit the strange world of Onion's house; Amethyst catches up with her old friend Vidalia. Written and Storyboarded by Lamar Abrams and Katie Mitroff
I have no idea who this episode could possibly be about. I wish there was some sign in the title, or something.
Hey, that’s clever. Steven couldn’t do that in Together Breakfast, so Garnet had to do it for him. How far we’ve grown, huh?
Also, ‘Chaaaps’ seems like a Rick and Morty thing.
“It’s a special flavor that’s only in stores for a limited time!” I don’t mess with that kind of stuff for this exact reason. Well, not this exact reason, but whatever.
“Vidalia?!” Oh, okay. This is Onion’s mom, then. This pretty much confirms my theories. Onion and Sourcream are stepbrothers, and I’m pretty sure Marty’s Sourcream’s father.
It’s really nice seeing Amethyst interact with someone positively for once. Everything’s been so awful, and it’s fantastic to see Amethyst feel comfortable again.
“You don’t know what I’ve done in these shows!” :^)
“You’re Onion’s mom?!” I mean, the hair and the name kind of give it away, Steven.
“Steven, he loves talking about you!” :^|
A dinner scene, eh? Perhaps we can make up for the…lackluster one in Fusion Cuisine. Lamar’s even a writer on this episode!
“Oh, it’s just a little dish I like to all Nooodles And Butter.” How has Amethyst never had buttered noodles before?
“Check this guy out! I used to be bigger than him.” This is a really sweet episode. It’s nice to just have a little interpersonal scene without enormous emotional stakes on the line.
This is really sad. They have a schedule for when Onion’s dad gets home, and it looks like he’s only home a couple weeks in the year.
Okay, so Marty is now confirmed to be Sourcream’s father.
“It’s just been me and Yellowtail for a while now.” Okay, we’ve got it all spelled out now. Vidalia had a kid with Marty, left him, got married to Yellowtail, and had another kid with him.
It’s interesting, though. I can’t think of many kids’ shows that have step siblings. Drake and Josh is the only one that comes to mind. I think it comes from this presentation that romance has to last forever, and showing that people can be happy after splitting up kind of damages that.
Something similar actually happened to me last night! The power on the entire block went out for a couple hours. It’s why I didn’t get a post up yesterday.
“What can you do? Kids gotta express themselves.” That’s a really nice attitude to have.
He’s got a snake? That’s a pretty radical pet. I assume that the mouse is food for the snake. That seems pretty expensive to keep up, though. Any snake owners out there? Got anything to add to this?
Everything’s gotta eat, Steven.
Wait, why the hell does Onion have a video of him being born?! What parent gave that to him?
Also, is this Steven’s first time seeing a vagoogoo? Or has he felt…the urge?
“It’s awful at home. I feel trapped.” I like how the Garnet-Pearl situation is affecting everyone. There’s no real escape from tension in that tiny house, so everyone has to deal with each other. I feel like they all need some space right now.
Come on, there has to be some good fanfic of these two, right? Perhaps suggesting some a little more...intimate?
“Okay, Onion. Let’s do this.” Aw, he’s playing with Onion to give Amethyst more time to be out of the house.
“You have Gals, too?!” I wonder what that acronym stands for.
Oh god, thinking about acronyms is just making me want to watch KND again. Fuck me, that was an amazing show.
“Karen!” That kind of looks a little like Rebecca Sugar.
Aw, Onion gave him one of his Gals. I wonder what his rationale is. It’s a shame we don’t know more about what makes him tick, because he’s one of the most interesting townspeople we have.
“I can stop by anytime if you need…inspiration.” They banged. I refuse to believe otherwise.
This was an interesting little episode. It seemed like we were going to learn more about Onion, but he remains an engima to us. No, we spent this episode exploring an old relationship Amethyst has with Vidalia, which is quite interesting. Of ourse Amethyst would be the one to make friends with a human! Hearing her talk about Garnet and Pearl was quite interesting, though. I really enjoy how much they’re impacting everyone around them. It gives the situation a lot of weight. I’m also glad that we’ve 3 episodes now without a resolution. This is a real issues that’s going to take time to solve, and so letting us experience that alongside the cast is a great choice. There wasn’t much going on in terms of animation or music, but the episode didn’t really need anything special to do its job, and it did it quite well. My current episode standings are-

Keeping in mind the news about Samurai Jack, what show do you think should get one last season?
Steven Universe: Harmony and The Plot of the Movie
Tl; Dr: The Movie plot could be about a rogue gem that escapes from eons of imprisonment and starts breaking havoc on Homeworld, as the Steven Universe: Harmony comics suggest. After the bomb that was "Change your mind" and with the official confirmation on the upcoming movie airing sometime in fall, I think it's time for some rough speculation about everyone's favorite matter: the plot. For those who didn't know, KaBOOM! Studios (the ones responsible for bringing SU to the good ol' fashioned format of comics) released a series of comics called Steven Universe: Harmony that is some kind of prequel to the movie. The last comic was published two(ish) months ago and, oddly enough, nobody is talking about it. So I decided to give it a go, speculate a bit of what the comic gives in terms of plot for the movie and the what it adds to whole show itself. With so many things in mind, warnings are the best to avoid misconceptions and/or problems. 1) I'm, not a fluent English speaker. I say this because, even though I'm confident enough in my capabilities to make this post, I understand that seeing bad writing is... unpleasant (at least for me). So, please, for the sake of mastering my English skills, feel free to correct any typos and spelling errors that you can spot (and be patient). 2) About the canonicity of the comics. As far as I know, the comics are "half canon" or "level 2 cannon", that is to say, unless the show directly contradicts the comics, they are as canon as an official release can be. 3) Spoiler Warning (For the comics and the movie) I mean, my word is not any kind of official confirmation, but the whole batch of comics are intended to be a "prequel" of some sorts for the movie, so if you would rather like to see the movie (whenever it airs...) blind, and without any kind of expectations about its plot or would actually want to give the comics a go (they're actually pretty good), get out of here, NOW. 4) Supporting the show. If you can, buy the comics, the best way to support the show is by showing Cartoon Network our love, the best way of doing so is by buying the merch. Well, without further ado, let's get started.
The Time period of the comics
First of all, unlike the other comics, these ones are pretty clear in the time period they are positioned. So, given the clues the comics present, they could be set between the aftermath of "Jungle Moon" and directly before"The Big Show". The evidence is the following:
Lars is already a space pirate and Steven and all of his friends know about this.
Sadie Killer and the Suspects are a thing.
Steven is still a member of the band (After the last part, Steven leaves because he can't go to the practices due to the Crystal Gem's duties, but starts recording everything in Greg's old camera).
Speaking of the band, they still haven't had an official debut (They're going to record their first demo in Yellow Tail's cousin basement studio).
Rose's Sword is intact and Connie still uses it ( and Connie has her haircut).
Lapis left and is still in space.
Knowing that, we can get a pretty solid idea that the comics are actually made with care for the details that the continuity of each episode has, that makes me think that the adventure happening in the comics will be referenced in some point of the movie (I hope a callback, as some characters get some really good development in this short story), because it doesn't contradict anything that has happened in the show.
The Comics and The Story
Before moving on to the movie plot, lets talk of what the comics add to the overall story of the show:
The Topazes in charge of Aquamarine haven't fused since the events of "I'm My Mom" (and they miss it)
Homeworld has huge storages that contain old gem technology, archives, and documents of gem history and previous colonies
To prepare for the attack on earth (Reunited), blue diamond sent Aquamarine to gather information in those documents.
Sadie has a picture of her, Lars and Steven in her bedroom.
Peridot explicitly says that she "isn't made for physical strain" making the theory of her not having a weapon, even more possible.
Opal, Sugilite, Sardonyx, and Alexandrite make an appearance in the comic. This had me wondering if the only reason they don't appear in the show is because the voice actresses that play them aren't available.
Peridot doesn't understand rock, paper, scissors (And she likes property damage).
Onion likes to sleep in the boardwalk.
Peridot maintains online arguments about camp pining hearts with other fans.
Garnet has money.
Pearl and Rose used to sing together (Making the line "I can sing" more sad).
Buck reads Dostoyevsky and knows about Schrodinger.
Garnet sings to give herself the power to win any battle.
The comic introduces the "Harmony Chores", a piece of ancient gem technology (at least from before the war) which primarily function was to subdue planets before their colonization without threatening organic lifeforms by serving as an energy source to power centinels that would grow stronger the more time the cores would remain active. They are said to connect with each other through "warp-like" technology and work like this: First, a "loyal Gem" would get inside it by touching it (this would make only the light form of such gem go inside of the harmony core, not its gemstone) to control it from the inside and harmonizes with another gem on the outside, thus getting the core started and functioning well. Second, the cores would start harmonizing with each other (they all activate at the same time, but deactivate separately) and would begin to pulsate signals that trap inside it the consciousness of any living organism nearby (I assume they all eventually die from starvation, as only their consciousness is sent inside). The consciousness of those trapped inside the cores acts like an amplifier of a radio frequency, the more they are, the powerful the cores grow. Third, the cores would start beating light-signals that power centinels, those sentinels would start colonizing the planet, making it ready for gem production. Fourth and last, when the colony is finished, the gem inside the harmony core would get out through a failsafe and deactivate the core. The problem with this is that, as Peridot mentions, such failsafe for the gem trapped inside the core was only used when a "useful" homeworld gem was being trapped, it's said that most of the gems that got trapped inside the core to make it work are still trapped and scattered alongside with each core in space (maybe this was a punishment for "malfunctioning", different or off-colors gems. Another thing that gets mentioned in these comics is that the harmony chores weren't used for eons, they were never even intended to be in the earth in the first place because new and more efficient technology was being used already for the colonization. They were, though, a gift from Blue Diamond to Pink to please her. First, the zoo was created to help her with the preservation of the humans in the planet, then the harmony cores were given to her to "ensure the rest (of the organisms in the earth) a peaceful end". Tough, as Blue mentions, the cores on earth were never activated (One of the topazes activates one accidentally at the start of the comics and that sets off all of the cores in existence) before, because Pink was "shattered" first.
The Movie and The future of Steven Universe:
At the end of the last comic, Steven and co. finally, destroy all the cores in existence (after battling with a giant core-robot) and supposedly free all of the hundreds of gems inside the other cores. To make a good assumption of what the movie plot will be, let's break the situation of the story so far, apart:
The last season ends with a definitive peace between Homeworld and the Crystal Gems, the war is over, the corrupted gems are healed and everyone is happy.
The Teaser for the movie shows what seems to be a rotating Harmony Core, and inside shows a brief picture of Steven, Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst and a mysterious laughing figure that could or could not be a gem (remember that the harmony cores can trap living organisms faster).
The Harmony Cores side to side (Left, the teaser of the Movie, Right, comics): That is the end of the "facts" we know for sure, but let me get inside some heavy theorizing: Let's say that, after seeing she's not perfect, White decides to make some severe changes in the Homeworld society and starts by stopping the colonization of planets. Now, after Homeworld finally starts to take the steps to get better, things get bad. The connection I was talking about before? Well, I think the comic end and the movie teaser suggest that some not-so-friendly gem got out after who knows how many eons of getting trapped and is not feeling so swell about Homeworld. Let's say this rogue gem wakes up from her thousands of years imprisonment and begins to cause havoc amongst the planet/colonies, as some sort of revenge to the empire that trapped her. And what If the threat is big enough, such as the diamonds can't handle it? Remember, if the Diamonds resort to trapping gems instead of directly shattering them (that could lead to potential problems later) that must be for a really good reason (Heck, it could even be an organic life-form that caused them some real problems). And what if their last resort is asking the CGs for help. That would make both, a good exploration of the ancient/new gem culture and a good scenario for battles to develop, mix everything up and you have yourself a good movie plot. Many wonder about the future of the series (as most of the more "important" plot points got resolved with the last episode released) and some even act like there is nothing left for the show to explore, but if the Crewniverse knows how to do it?, they have tons of things to add to the Steven Universe story (Traveling through each of Homeworld's old colonies to find the lost gems?, that could be awesome!) But that is what I think that could happen. Let me know what you think about all of this! EDIT: As Timeline15 said, the gem that appears in the movie's teaser seems to have a heart shaped gem in its chest. That reminded me of something: at one point in the comics Garnet battles a sentinel/monster that has a Harmony Core in i'ts chest. We've seen quite little about gem-powered artifacts such as lapis's mirror or the gems in the walls of Homeworld, maybe this is related? EDIT 2: After four months or so, a kind stranger gave me gold in this post during my cake-day. That's actually a really good gift, thank you very much whoever you are!!

Hey, guys. We’re here for real. Before we get into the finale, I wanted to take a moment to discuss something that’s important to me, personally. Yes, I’m dead. I’ve been dead since Alone Together, actually. Making the transition into being dead has been incredibly painful and difficult for me. I feel awkward walking in public with my bones exposed, and even little things, like going to the store, are made uncomfortable by the stares of everyone around me. I’m experiencing new and different pains, especially around where my eyes used to be. As a skeleton, I’ve had to change my life enormously, and I’m really happy that you guys have been here to support me. This community has kept me going, replacing my complex musculature with sheer will and love. Thank you all so much... q:^) For real, though, I wanted to thank all of you for being a part of this community, for reading my long, poorly-made reaction posts, and for being one of the most positive groups of people I’ve ever encountered. You’re all wonderful, and I’m so glad to have been able to have this experience with you guys so far. You’re all incredible. Moving into the finale, and into season 2, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to grow this incredible community, and I can’t wait until I finally join the rest of you in the community. I’m absolutely astonished by how incredible this community is. Thank you all for being here. This next post is only for beautiful people; That means all of you.
Episode 51- The Return
A threat to the Crystal Gems arrives in Beach City. Written and Storyboarded by Raven M. Molisee and Paul Villeco
“Are you closing up by yourself?” Aw, man. This whole town has really grown.
Wow, I’ve got this deep sense of, like...like we’ve been on a journey, y’know? And now everyone’s changed, and I feel like I have too, a little.
“Don’t patronize me, sir.”
I’ve noticed a lot of similarities between the opening of this episode and the opening of Laser Light Cannon. The shots are very similar, and the scenario is pretty close, too. If this holds true, we’re about to see something in the sky…
“Do you ever feel like this gem stuff is too much for you?” Poor Greg. He’s probably worried out of his mind since Ocean Gem. Hell, he was probably worried before!
“What the hay was that?” Oh, shit, are we already getting into this?! I’m not ready!
I don’t know if this was intentional, and I’m pretty sure it’s not, but I just considered that the acronym for Laser Light Cannon, LLC, is one letter away from being an anagram for FLCL. There’s no way it’s intentional, but it’s just odd, considering how much that episode reminded me of FLCL.
“Lapis told us she’d be coming.” For a second, I thought this line meant that Lapis said that she herself would be coming. I hope we see her, but I don’t see any reason for her to come to Earth.
All four light cannons, huh? I guess this is going to be used as a power confirmation. We’ve seen one light cannon absolutely destroy the Red Eye, so now we’ll see 4 light cannons probably do very little against this here Green Hand, and then become scared. I highly doubt that these would actually work, because where would the episode go from there?
Oh my god, Steven sounded like he was initiating a nuclear calldown from Command and Conquer or something.
This is quite pretty. How do the cannons know how to do that, though? Are they aware of each other's’ presence? I guess that could make sense, if we’re assuming that Rose and Steven have empathic powers.
Yeah, basically. Now we have a direct power comparison for everything from this hand down to Steven. Hand is significantly stronger than 4 light cannons, which are 4x stronger than 1 light cannon, which is stronger than a Red Eye, which is stronger than Garnet and Amethyst (I still don’t know why they didn’t try to fuse), who are stronger than Steven individually.
Okay, so while I do agree that Steven should help the townspeople, he really does belong with the gems here, facing whatever is coming. Do the townspeople really need help from Steven, considering that anything that would reach them would have had to have gone through the gems first?
“Maybe, when Peridot gets to Earth, she’ll see how nice all the people are, and she won’t want to hurt anyone.” “You’re just like your mother.” Starts to break down
“They’re not gonna start caring about people now. They didn’t the first time they-...”
“The gems should be telling you all this stuff. I mean, I get it. They don’t want you thinking of them like that.” “Like what?...Dad, like what?” “Like, aliens, Steven! Aliens who invaded Earth!” Oh. Is that all this is about? I honestly forget, sometimes, that Steven knows a lot less than us.
Yeah, we kind of figured a lot of this out, huh. Still, it’s really, really nice to finally get some confirmation on these goddamn things!
“No such thing as a good war, kiddo.” I like you, Greg. You’re a good guy.
Oh. Greg just talked about how Rose left her people to defend the humans. Steven’s going to take this whole thing to heart, and leave his people to defend the gems, isn’t he?
So, almost all of the gems died? There’s one line in particular that interests me. “If it weren’t for her shield, man, I dunno…” This doesn’t seem like a ‘Rose helped the gems barely win the fight’ kind of dealio. This sounds more like ‘enormous weapon of mass destruction nearly killed everyone, but Rose’s shield saved a few’. Otherwise, Greg would have just said, “If it weren’t for Rose”.
I love the conflict between his human nature and his gem nature. I picked up on a lot of these themes in the earlier episodes, just like how season 1a had a lot of themes of maturity throughout its early episodes, and I’m glad that we’re getting to finally see more of this conflict.
Aw, man, the town really does care about everyone. This shot really reminds me of how huge the supporting cast of Steven Universe is. I’m a little surprised not to see at least a few of the background characters, though.
“Yeah...okay. Just be careful, or I’m gonna run fresh outta family.” was not ready to feel sad today
God, something about this is heartbreaking. It’s a wonderful shot, and there’s something a little awful about this. This is clearly an important, seminal moment for Steven, and not having Connie to support his is a little saddening.
Oh, shit, it’s Opal! Why not try Alexandrite? I guess they wanted a long range weapon. What would Alexandrite’s weapon be, actually?
Of course, it has no effect. Clearly, this isn’t something that the gems will be able to deal with on their own. We still don’t have any motivation from the homeworld gems, though! I want to know what they want! Do they just want to scope things out? Are they planning on killing the last of the rebellion? Do they want to restart what they began on Earth thousands of years ago?
“Stay here! If something happens, dad’ll need a new son!” Oh, god, Steven is fully aware of the consequences of his actions now. This is sad.
Okay, here’s a closer look at her! She seems to have some wonderfully massive shoulders. It seems kind of based on DBZ’s Battle Armor, which would make a lot of sense, considering what is currently happening. Let’s get back into that. I need to know more.
“Jasper, they keep interfering with my work!” Jasper? That’s a pretty cool fucking gem name.
Wait a second, someone mentioned a Jasper to me. Oh, shit, that was a smooth coverup, whoever you are! (They told me that Jasper was a fanmade JoJo clone character.)
“Looks like another waste of my time.” Okay, I am getting some serious Vegeta vibes. This whole scene feels like something out of the Super Saiyan Saga, actually.
OH FUCK IT’S LAPIS! And she’s clearly not here by choice. Did they drag her here because she’s been to Earth?
Man, I just realized, Lapis’ whole life has essentially been imprisonment, huh? Well, at least for as long as she’s been in the mirror.
“Neither of you saw Rose Quartz?” I guess they wouldn’t know, would they?
“What a shame. I’d hoped to meet her. I was looking forward to beating her into the ground!” Man, I think I was pretty accurate on the whole Vegeta thing.
“Some lost, defective Pearl, a puny, overcooked runt, and this shameless display?” Hrm… There seems to be a lot going on here, but I’m not sure I want to dive into it yet. This could go a lot of ways right now.
“What is…that?” Oh, boyo. Here we go…
“I know what a human is.” You do? Considering that Peridot had no idea, that would suggest that Jasper’s been to Earth before.
I love the shot of Jasper turning around in disbelief.
It’s wonderful looking. We get to see it so rarely, but it’s really wonderfully animated. Let’s take a minute to discuss the differences and similarities between this incarnation and the one from Ocean Gem.
In Ocean Gem, Steven activated his shield because he wanted to talk to Lapis, and was sick of fighting her, We’re seeing the first step of maturity here. Steven wants to be a pacifist, and he wants to talk with Lapis. He believes that he can convince her to give back the ocean. Here, we’re seeing an entirely different scenario. Steven decided that his love for his family was worth fighting, and potentially dying, for. This is an act of altruism here. Steven knows that the homeworld gems aren’t going to give up on Earth, but he wants to protect it, and the people that he loves. It’s subtle, but there’s a definite difference in how these scenes play out.
“You! You have the power of Rose Quartz!” Yeah, Jasper is definitely pretty familiar with Rose. I’d guess that she was involved in the battles on Earth in some manner.
“Rose! Why do you look like that?” I suppose that she wouldn’t even consider the possibility of Steven being Rose’s child. I highly doubt that homeworld studied the anatomy of humans enough to discover whether or not human-gem hybrids could be born.
“Forget about the mission!” “What?” “Yellow Diamond needs to see this…thing.” Y-Yellow Diamond?! Does this have anything to do with the Diamond Authorities that Ronaldo was talking about?
Hrm… This seems to disprove a little that Garnet could be a fusion. After all, even when Sugilite defused due to heavy damage, we still saw Garnet and Amethyst. This is more like when Pearl died. Well, not died. Is there a term for it?
Okay, so Jasper was definitely involved in Earth’s war. Good to know.
Digamma-F-Wau sent me the solo ending track for this episode, so I’ll go listen to it.
Oh. Static. How lovely.
Wait, there are a few little bits of human voice in there. How interesting…
Closing Thoughts-
Wow, this episode was a big one! This is definitely the most plot we’ve gotten in a while. I don’t think I want to talk too much about this episode, since it really feels like a part of a bigger story, but the animation was lovely, the music was good, and our new gem, Jasper, is fantastic! Let’s get right into the next one!
Episode 52- Jailbreak
Steven teams up with a new ally to rescue the Crystal Gems. Written and Storyboarded by Joe Johnson, Jeff Liu andRebecca Sugar
What a powerhouse team. Also, no title card or intro theme for this. Well, a different title card, I suppose.
I guess this is taking place in space? Maybe not?
Oh, that is some lovely singing. I wonder who it is, though. I don’t think we’ve heard Lapis sing? That’s the closest sounding voice that I can think of, at the moment. It could also be a new character.
Okay. We’ve just seen that Garnet’s body was destroyed. We also know that one of her gems is apparently red-orange. Now, we’ve got this new, previously unseen character, who just happens to be red-orange, and who just happens to have hair very similar to Garnet’s. I am very heavily leaning towards this potentially being one of Garnet’s unfused gems.
“How did you get past the field?” Oh, I think I get it. Is it because he’s half human? This new gem wasn’t able to touch it without getting shocked, but Steven’s half biological. A full human walking through this would probably not even feel anything. It’s like the field disrupts the wavelength in the gems’ bodies, but Steven’s biological body prevents him from being affected.
“Somebody’s singing.” “Sapphire.” A BLUE GEM, YOU SAY? HOW INTERESTING!
“She’s all alone, I need to find her!” Man, the desperation in this gem’s voice is pretty intense. I like her voice actress.
Also, the face here is pretty funny. Can we get a name for this gem, though?
Lapis. She looks so horribly exhausted and tired here. What happened to her? I can’t imagine that the homeworld gems are happy that she didn’t tell them about Steven.
“I don’t want your help. Things are bad enough as it is.” Okay, so Lapis really has no faith whatsoever in any force defeating homeworld. She’s decided that the best option is to hang low and hope to avoid trouble.
“If we do everything they say, they might go easy on us.” Lapis, I know that’s not true, and I haven’t even seen any of homeworld. You’re smarter than that. You’re just in denial about your situation.
“They hurt my friends, they hurt my face, they’ve got you here in prison!” “That’s why we can’t fight them!” “That’s why we have to fight them!” I like these differing ideologies. These characters come from such different backgrounds, so it’s fascinating to see them interact. Lapis has been enslaved against her will for probably thousands of years, and she’s developed a defeatist attitude. Steven’s never had to see his family or friends seriously suffer, so he’s developed a positive attitude. I wouldn’t blame Lapis for making her choice, though. You shouldn’t be obligated to fight against an oppressive system if you’re afraid of the consequences.
“The whole point of coming here was to check on the cluster!” The, uh, what now? The cluster?
“Go to Earth, they said. It’ll be easy, they said.” I’m kind of starting to love this character? Maybe?
And right on schedule, hello, other new gem! Once again, this gem has a few small features that could easily make their way into Garnet. The covered eyes, for instance, could become a visor.
Okay, this is kind of an interesting look at stereotypical gender roles. Ruby is clearly the more ‘masculine’ of the two, and Sapphire is clearly the more ‘feminine’, but they’ve kind of had reversed roles in the ‘knight saves a princess’ trope. Ruby is clearly out of her league, and just seems to be kind of flailing about, but Sapphire is calm and collected, and immediately found Ruby the second she got out. Good jorb, Steven Solar System!
Oh, man, this is a wonderfully tender scene. These two characters identify a female, right? They definitely present it, at least. Holy fuck, Steven Universe, good fucking job. It turns out that same-sex relationships are pretty fucking cool!
Oh, man. The bottom of Sapphire’s dress looks...gem-y. I don’t know what to call that. Whatever it is, she has it!
AYYYYYYYYYYY! BUT LITERALLY FUCK ALL OF YOU THOUGH! BUT AYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Seriously, you keklords who were arguing with me over whether or not Garnet is a fusion are all fucking monsters and you should know it!
Okay. Garnet is a fusion. A fusion of two sexy ladies. I’m actually, totally, 100% fucking down for this. Let’s fucking go.
I’ve also never seen Garnet that absolutely happy before! Not even when she saw Stevonnie for the first time! I guess she’s just happy to be back together. What does this mean for her components, though? What even happens to them? We were told way back in Coach Steven that it’s possible for gems to lose themselves in the fusion, but that had a drastic and negative effect in that episode. Is it a similar situation for Garnet? Or are her gems more aware of their individuality? Why are there two gems who are fused all the time? I guess they love each other, and want to be together forever. Still, don’t they no longer exist now? What’s left of their consciousness? Do they remember being Garnet, or did they lose that part of themselves, and does Garnet remember being Ruby and Sapphire? What would that mean, if she had two separate memories of the same event? I have so many fucking questions!
Is she drawn differently? She just seems so vibrant and happy. I guess we just usually don’t see her this happy, without her visor.
“Are you going to be able to beat her on your own?” “It’s okay, Steven. I’m never alone.”
So. This floor. Considering that we’ve been given a character named Yellow Diamond, I’m going to go ahead and scrap my Moon Goddess/Sun Goddess/Other Goddess theory. We already have a yellow one, so I assume the other two will be Blue and White Diamond. I’ll go with these names for now, as they’re a lot easier, and currently make a lot more sense, than the other names, especially considering that we’ve already gotten some likely foreshadowing about a Diamond Authority.
“Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak gems stronger.” I like what little we’ve learned about this character. I’m going to go ahead and basically apply all of Vegeta’s character to her, because she’s definitely concerned less with winning and more with proving her strength.
“I can see you hate the way we intermingle, but I think you’re just mad ‘cuz you’re single.”
This fight is quite well animated, but the highlight is definitely Estelle’s work here. It’s wonderful sounding!
This is cute. So, whatever that technology is, it probably runs off of the same stuff as the fields, but by directly putting it into another gem, you distort their wavelength until it’s destroyed. Steven is, clearly, immune.
Actually, this is pretty interesting. The last episode was all about Steven accepting his role as a gem, but this episode seems to be about the opposite! He’s also having to accept his humanity here. They’re both equally important parts of him, and Steven is discovering what it means to be him in these episodes.
I actually quite like that the fight between Garnet and Jasper seems pretty even. I guess that Garnet just wasn’t prepared to deal with the new gem weaponry the first time. It’s probable that they’ve never seen this kind of technology, actually!
“I am even more than the two of them, everything they care about is what I am, I am their fury, I am their patience, I am a conversation, I am made of love.” Okay, I guess we know what Garnet is, then. She is the living embodiment of their love. That’s so fucking wonderfully gay.
Okay, so Peridot escaped to Earth. What does this mean for the gems?
“Lapis, listen. Fuse with me!” Yeah, I’m pretty sure that Lapis is going to agree to this. In her mind, the homeworld has absolute authority, and eventually they will find Earth again. Even in this situation, Lapis will probably agree to fuse with Jasper to keep on homeworld’s good side. Or, at least, she thinks that she’d be on their good side. They probably don’t have much of one, though.
“Just say yes…” Hey, I’ll give her this. Jasper is not forcing Lapis into this. Like I said, Saiyan Pride. She would never do anything to disgrace her honor, and that includes trying to force a fusion. (I don’t even know if that’s possible or not, though, so I could be totally wrong.)
I love that little look Jasper gives the gems, like, “what up, bitches! Guess who just got fused?”
We are also, of course, ignoring the fact that they should have attacked Jasper during any of this conversation. This is the DBZ episode, though, so it’s totally okay.
Okay. So fused with Jasper to betray her? For some reason? Even though the gems totally had it covered?
Uh, Lapis is still in the fusion, right?
“I’m done being everyone’s prisoner. Now you’re my prisoner, and I’m never letting you go!” Yikes…
“Let’s stay on this miserable planet…together!” Wait, but I’m confused. Why would Lapis do this? I get that she’s emotionally confused, but the gems totally had it.
Oh, I suppose it’s possible that she didn’t know that at all. In fact, there was no way for her to realize that. Not only did she not see any of the fight between Garnet and Jasper, but she saw Jasper trash Garnet in their first fight, and also is probably heavily biased. She probably saw this as the only way to save the gems, even though it seems more like she’s accidentally saving Jasper.
“Yikes.” That’s my thing, Garnet! My thing!
“They are really bad for each other.” Yeah, I love that this show gets into negative relationships as often as it gets into positive ones.
Aaaaaaaaand…….a ringtone. I guess it’s Connie.
WOAH! WHAT THE FUCK THERE’S SINGING?!
Okay, let me take these lyrics down real quick.
If I could, begin to be, half of what, you think of me, I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love,
When I see, the way you act, wondering when I’m coming back,*
I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love...like you.*
Man, that was beautiful. These lyrics are horribly heartbreaking, though. It’s clearly a song between two lovers, both of whom believe that they aren’t as good as the other, and it’s genuinely sad when you look at it. The singer feels like they don’t know how to love, and aren’t anywhere near as good as the other lover, and yet the other lover also clearly believes that the singer is far greater than them. I’d go ahead and say that this is definitely about Rose and Greg, and I think that either one of them could be the singer, although the fact that it’s a female voice, and the lime “wondering when I’m coming back” suggest to me that it’s Rose. This is great stuff.
Closing Thoughts-
Holy shit, this was a big episode, huh? These two episodes were absolutely fantastic. Hell, the last 4 episodes had a lot of connections. The two before this were all about subtle buildup, and they really built suspense and tension that snapped near the end of The Return. After that, Jailbreak was an entire episode of climax! It was great fun, and absolutely wonderful to see. The animation was incredible in this episode, and I think it’s safe to say right now that Stronger Than You is going to be my top place vocal track. Discovering that Garnet was a fusion was a ton of fun, although I was fairly sure that she was the second that I saw Ruby. I loved their intimate moment. It was pure, unadulterated love, and it was incredible to watch. God fucking damnit, Steven Universe! I thought that you couldn’t get any gayer! Jasper was a fascinating little character, and Lapis was wonderful to see how horribly defeated she had become. It was a wild ride, to be honest, and I really enjoyed it. This reaction took a fair bit longer than I expected it to, mostly because of how much I had to talk about in these episodes! Seriously, these were great. My current top ten episodes are-
Rose’s Scabbard.
Alone Together

Thank you guys so much for following me up till this point, and thank you to any newcomers who came in, either when this was posted or far into the future! I appreciate this community and its incredible group of people so much. You guys really don’t know how much this means to me. Remember, guys, even though hype is totally fucking allowed, please avoid spoilers. Finally, a question-
I’m sure it exists, so what is your favorite hint at Garnet being a fusion?
When Steven learns that Garnet can see into the future, he wants to know about the possible dangers around him. Written and Storyboarded by Lamar Abrams and Hellen Jo
“Okay, everyone. I think we all know what’s going on here.” Uh, I have absolutely no clue, Steven. Please, do inform me.
“I understand your concern but that language was innapropriate! I’m a Crystal Gem, I’m a big boy now!” Aw, he’s using the language that Garnet used!
“I gotta stop saying stuff like ‘I’m a big boy now’!” pfffftt… That was pretty funny.
“I guess I can’t be in the ninja squad anymore…” Fuck that, Steven! Be in whatever god damn squad you want to be! Don’t let anyone tell you that the reboot sucked!
“I sure am lucky you showed up when you did!” “Luck’s got nothing to do with it.” Oh, hiya, Chekhov! It’s been a long time! How have you been?
“What do you mean by that?” “Don’t worry about that.” “No, seriously!” HE’S DONE IT! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, STEVEN QUARTZ UNIVERSE HAS ASKED A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION!
“Are you gonna tell me something cool about yourself?” “Nope!” Oh, man. I forgot how cute Garnet and Steven are together.
“I’m a...large...man!” The phrase you are looking for is manchild, Steven.
“I guess you could say that I have a sort of...future vision.” Didn’t we already kind of know this? I mean, I don’t think we got any specifics, but we already knew that she had psychic premonitions.
“Danger is my middle name!” “That’s a lie. You’re middle name is cutie-pie.” dies
Fun fact. I’ve learned to do this with expert control and speed! I used to be really good at it, but I haven’t used it very much in the last year or two, so I’m out of practice.
“What would happen if I said hi to my bff Lars?” “I see a single potential future where Lars gives you a high-five.” le gasp “And two more potential futures where you suffer third-degree burns all over your body.” Oh my god, Garnet is hilarious this episode!
“That’ll kill you faster.” Garnet is so good this episode.
“Nice Noggin, Steven!” Now I’m getting flashbacks to Noggin. That thing was interesting. Remember the moose? I remember the moose.
“Hold on, don’t leave me!” I always feel like the gems could and should leave someone behind when Steven is having emotional issues.
“Do I choke on a pickle?” q;^ )
“You don’t choke on a pickle.” Garnet, just tell him that nothing happens! He’s clearly really worried about what’s going to happen to him.
“Just trust me when I say that you are in control.” Okay, that’s a pretty decent little thing to say. I think it’s a bit late, though.
“And do not go on the roof, no matter what.” So, clearly Steven is going to end up on the roof. This episode is a tad stale? It’s not as stale as Fusion Cuisine, but it’s a little predictable. I think the major difference is that the writing is funny and enjoyable in this episode.
Wow, I just noticed that I did not write much about this episode! Okay, someone asked for something like this, so I’m going to compile a list of all of the possible evidence for Garnet being a fusion that I’ve noticed-
She has two gems
Fusion apparently comes easily to her
She’s stronger than the other two gems
She’s taller than the other two gems
She’s got three eyes, and we’ve seen that fusions combine body parts
The lights on the door of the temple show a red and a blue light instead of a single one
Possible counterarguments for Garnet being a fusion-
She isn’t significantly taller than the gems, like we’ve seen Sugilite and Opal to be
When fusions use their fused weapons, they first summon them and then combine them. Garnet does not do this
Fusions have been shown to defuse when they undergo serious damage, but Garnet has never done this
Garnet has no additional body parts except for her eye.
I think that’s about it! I’m leaning a little towards the fusion theory, but I’m still pretty on the fence about it.
“What could possibly happen to me on the roof?” Who knows, Steven. Who cares?
“Maybe I should just get a snack?” But Steven! Wait! What if the Ghost of Christmas Future comes to take your soul?!
I don’t know what it is, but there are two splotches of yellow color on the temple statue that I don’t think I’ve noticed before.
“Steven! Get off the roof!” Hey, I’d be mad, even without future vision!
“If something is going to happen to me, just let it happen.” Once again, Steven is forgetting the most important thing that Garnet’s told him. Time changes in ebbs and flows, and Steven can and should take control of his life! Steven’s missed the entire point here.
“Why did you tell me about future vision?!” I’ll be honest, dude. You kind of overreacted to it, I think. But it was also Garnet’s fault for not explaining to Steven that he’s in control of his life from the getgo.
“What’s going to happen to me on the roof?” “This.” Huh.
“There was a chance that you’d understand this, and we’d be closer!” I think Garnet kind of chose wrong here. She was looking so far into the future that she forgot to consider how this might impact Steven in the present.
This episode was a little generic, but it was pulled through, I think, by Estelle’s delivery as Garnet. She really has a great sense of comedic timing, and the writing was absolutely hilarious! I think my favorite line was “I drink coffee for breakfast!” Steven was a little paranoid, which I guess he has a right to be right now, so this episode makes more sense when you consider its placement in the series. The relationship between Steven and the Gems is a little rocky right now, and Steven isn’t quite sure what to think about anything, so I actually like that we get an episode or two, like The Test, to deal with the fallout of the events of Warp Tour. Let’s move onto the next episode!
Episode 40-On the Run
When Steven and Amethyst try out life on the road, Amethyst takes him to the place she was created and tells him about her origins. Storyboarded by Joe Johnston and Jeff Liu
This is a neat episode title! I dunno, I just like the name.
“We can’t have them reactivating and fixing the homeworld warp.” Couldn’t you just destroy the entire Galaxy Warp? Nah, they’re too horribly attached to that place to even consider it.
“We kept Amethyst.” What if Amethyst used to be a soldier for the homeworld?! I remember a time when Amethyst specifically referred to herself as “a gem warrior”, and it would make this line make a lot of sense! It could also help explain the general tension between Pearl and Amethyst! I’m not too sure, but it really does seem to fit.
“Some gems, like your mother, Garnet, and myself,” Amethyst stalks off “felt that this was unfair to the life that already existed here.We swore to never let the Earth be used for their...purposes… even if it meant-” Amethyst vents frustration physically “Even if it meant we could never go home.”
Yeah, this whole scene seems to settle it.
“Wait a sec! So that means...we’re just like the No Home Boys!” A-are you?!
“Steven! We are not like the No Home Boys. We are literally standing in your home right now!” has flashbacks to Space Race
“Yeah, sounds like fun. Let’s do it!” I’m all for this. I love aimlessly wandering the city! Ironic, considering I hate travelling with an adult, burning hate.
“I don’t care about what all the others say.” I’m getting some very Tiger Millionaire vibes from this episode. That episode ended in drama. This is a good sign.
“I wish that I could ‘there’s no better place than home’, but home’s a place that I have never known, that’s why we’re on the run.” Oh, boyo. How has Amethyst “never known” home, though? Even if she was a homeworld soldier, you’d think she would remember it, right?
“Why didn’t you bring your backpack?” Because people On The Run need to have bindles, Amethyst! Don’t you know anything?
“It wouldn’t fit in my bindle?” See, Steven has the right idea here, at least.
“Y’know, I feel like I’ve been misled about hay. It always looked so soft in those illustrations, but it’s actually really scratchy.”
“Amethyst I wanna go home now.” Yeah, that’s about what I expected.
I love this shot. It says a lot about what’s going through Amethyst’s mind. When was the last time Amethyst sat down and thought about herself? I don’t think we’ve ever seen her this contemplative.
“I’m done pretending to be a No Home Boy.”
“That’s not my home.” Yikes…
“Oh, that’s right! You’re from homeworld!” “That’s not my home either!” Oh...I, uh. Oh. I don’t know, then.
“Then, where are you from?” “I’ll show you.” Yes, please do. I am very curious.
“It’s kinda where I’m from.” Oh, shit! Was this a gem manufacturing plant?! Is that what the Bacteriophages are for? And I guess they planted the gems directly into the Earth? It seemed to have a horrible effect on everything in the area, too. This is really fucking interesting. No wonder Amethyst must feel angry with the gems! If she really came out of this place, then she probably sees herself as part of the problem. Yikes.
“Pearl and Garnet are, but I was made here on Earth!” Yeah, that just about confirms it. I guess she wasn’t a homeworld soldier, then. This might be more interesting, though.
So, she’s anthropomorphizing rocks, which I guess makes a little more sense considering that she’s also a rock. Still, that would be like a human anthropomorphizing plants. She must have been here for a long time! I guess maybe they kept gems here to raise them? But you’d think she would remember them more than random rocks.
“How long did you live here?” “For a while, I guess. At least until I met your mom and the others.” Interesting…
God, this image, along with the horribly eerie sound design…
Pearl’s arrived. Okay. Settling in for potential definite drama.
“Garnet said you’d be here but I didn’t want to believe it!” Why didn’t Garnet come along?
“Amethyst, what were you thinking bringing Steven to a...Kindergarten?” So, there are more than one of these things? Oh, god, everything about this just feels like bad news.
“How much did you tell him?” Oh, deary me. I didn’t want to learn about the lore like this! I’m so sorry!
“You mean about the bad thing? How this bad place is where bad gems came to grow more bad gems? Is that what you’re talking about?!” Jeez, talk about repressed issues. I guess it’s good that Amethyst is getting this out in the open, though. I really doubt that she’s talked to any of the gems about this, and especially not Pearl.
“They grew other gems here?” Wait, I’m confused. Did we not already learn that?
“It all worked out! We won! Then we shut this place down so the Earth would be safe from parasites like me!” God, this is incredibly heavy. Can we go back to the No Home Boys? No? Okay, worth a shot.
“Amethyst, stop this! You can’t beat me.” “I don’t care!” Yeah, she just needs to vent. She probably hasn’t been able to talk about these feelings that she has for thousands of years.
“I’m not gonna let you stand there and remind me of everything I hate about myself!” God, Amethyst’s voice actress really does a fantastic job of delivering these lines.
“I never asked to be made!” God, this is such a beautifully powerful moment. There’s so much that we never knew about Amethyst, and yet it all fits somehow. This is an incredible scene.
“Pearl. Get in here. You gotta help me.” “But-” “You have to talk to her.”
“Amethyst, I had no idea you’d been upset about this.” I honestly doubt that Amethyst would ever bring something like that up. Also, this whole scene really reminds me of when my mom would come into my room when I was incredibly upset about something. I would curl up in my bed, and then she would come in and sit on my bed, and she would stay there for hours, sometimes. This is a really powerful scene.
“This is like my entire existence!” No, no, no, Amethyst! You’ve spent thousands of years outside of this place! Wherever you’ve come from, you’re only what you do with what’s been given to you! I come from a homophobic conservative christian family, but that doesn’t mean that that’s who I am.
“You wanna pretend that none of this ever happened.” It doesn’t sound like this was your fault, though, Amethyst. You didn’t make this place happen! I have to acknowledge my family, but it’s not my fault that they are the way they are.
“I just never thought of this as you! None of this is your fault! You didn’t build this place!” Yeah, Pearl has the right mindset. Still, though, I think Amethyst has a right to be upset. She needs to get her emotions out in the open, so that she can start working on changing to a positive outlook.
“You’re the one good thing that came out of this mess…”
Oh, god! What a creepy fucking way to end an episode!
Closing Thoughts-
This episode was fantastic. It was just an absolute rollercoaster of raw emotions, beautiful imagery, and wonderful animation. Everything in the Kindergarten was so incredibly awful and eerie, too. I got this real sense of trepidation. I got this sense that, if you moved too fast or touched something in the slightest way, the inert Kindergarten could start...doing. I don’t really know the specifics of what it does, I guess, but there was this horrible sense of fear throughout the entire location. The music of the first half was so wonderful, with a sense of wanderlust, and a quiet but subtle sadness, and then the music of the second half was oppressively empty. The animation of the fight between Pearl and Amethyst was some of the best that we’ve seen in the entire show, too. The final scene, where Pearl and Amethyst just talk, is just stunning. It brought back so many memories of similar situations with my mom. My new episode listing is as follows-
Alone Together
On the Run
Lion 3: Straight to Video
Ocean Gem
Coach Steven
An Indirect Kiss
Mirror Gem
Laser Light Cannon
Space Race
The Test
As for my music, it stands at-
On the Run
Strong in the real way
Let yourself be wherever you are
Steven and the Stevens/Crystal Gems
Giant Woman
Finally, my BGM is-
Glitch City
Lapis' Tower
Night Drive
Twilight Run
Alone Together
The Cave
The Hill/Rose’s Fountain
Love like you(The Ocean Returns)
Watermelon Steven
The Heaven Beetle/Reprise
As always, thanks for reading! Please remember to keep all comments spoiler free! Finally, a question-
Were there any specific moments in the episodes that I’ve seen that really resonated with you, or that were similar to an experience that you’ve had in the past?
