The final fight between Sonic and Nine reminded me of Steven and Spinel's fight in the SU movie 😆
This is a sneak peek of what I've been working on all week. It's still a work in progress, since all the sketches are rough and unfinished (and I was too lazy to draw Nine's mechanical tails 😅). I'm currently working on the second part of the song, because I'm leaving the fight sequence for last.
I choose No;Older Sibling cause it just be like that sometimes. Spinel was right to mad about it though.
Edit: My genuine thought is that this is her attempt to grow up not just because she was given a planet, but because she doesn't want to be the Diamond who throws tantrums that hurt her loved ones after her accident with Pink Pearl. So she decides to distance herself from Spinel in an attempt to not hurt anyone else, to grow up so that she doesn't crack anyone else again(a value she carries with her for the rest of her life).
Her flaw was not considering Spinel's wants and needs. Cuz she gonna follow her instructions literally and no matter how nice that garden was Spinel needs social interaction. I just dislike the notion that Pink Diamond didn't care at all or just forgot about Spinel. She is very caring but doesn't know how to care for the people/gems she loves.
It occurs to me that between shows and movies for kids to teen audiences like Steven Universe, Nimona, and, most recently, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, lots of shows seem to be tackling straight-up Trauma leveled upon their young protagonists. Not just anxiety, but serious traumatic circumstances. [Note: PANIC Attacks also done EXCEPTIONALLY well in the Puss in Boots sequel]
And seeing it handled as a legitimate, non-PSA topic, as a whole and complete motif in these pieces of media, DOES make me happy. It does. It pleasantly astounds me to see it tackled with so much grace. It's just...
Yea, it feels like recently, it's been hard for kids to get away from the absolutely encroaching trauma of how the world is, especially to vulnerable communities. Nimona is a very clear send-off to the queer community, canonized by Nate. Moon Girl very much addresses the issues faced by black communities on an everyday basis. And Steven Universe confronts authoritarian, oppressive ideology and its harms.
It's helpful for kids to see they're not alone in this hurt. I just wish it didn't feel like its necessary for so many of them.
Just watched the owl house finally and noticed one thing: Every great recent cartoon keeps doing a time skip and that makes me wanna see a spin-off epilogue season Anyone else?
examples: Steven universe,Amphibia, Owl house, Kipo
I especially wanna see more kipo.
OK so heads up for a minor owl house spoiler,
I love time skips because it shows that years later everything is still OK and its going to stay OK. Also! Luz is my age now. I feel like I grew with her in some way, and everyone who started watching the show that was ger age has ended it with her. And the idea of spinoffs of any of the above shows is something I'd gladly watch or read.
