#Greg Universe

I'm not the first to mention this, but one bit that I thought was really clever in Steven Universe is the ways in which the show subtly justifies the cartoonism of the principle cast always wearing the same outfit for ease-of-animation purposes. The gems are a gimme in that they're all hardlight-projections, and even before that's solidified as a plot point they're otherworldly and superheroic enough that you don't really think to question it. But Steven canonically just owns hundreds and hundreds of those star shirts, which are leftover merchandise from his father's fizzled-out career as a rock star. Into which you can read a whole bunch of other stuff if you really want to, right? And I do want to. It's reflective of Greg's misplaced optimism that he got hundreds of those made in the first place, and it's a benign but visible example of how Steven's life is shaped by the knock-on effects of decisions his parents made before he was even alive. He's got his mother's superpowers and he's wearing his father's shirts.

sketches of greg and rose my beloveds! i like to think that at the end of the day, greg was the only person who could crack rose's facade of the "benevolent earth saviour", and truly empathaize with her

I think its easy to see young Greg's decision to stay in Beach City as kind of irresponsible and impulsive, which I won't argue against, but upon rewatching "Story for Steven" after Future I realized there's more to it than that
I think... Greg doesn't ask Marty "what if I want to go back and be with her" because that's genuinely something he was planning on doing in that moment. After all, he was already on the road, ready to go to his next show. He asks that as a test. Marty is in the middle of insulting his emotions ("Noone cares about your feelings!"), insulting the music that is resulting from them too, and I'm willing to bet in that moment Greg is getting an unfortunately familiar sense of shame creeping in...

"You're going to the city, and you're going to play, and you're going to like it!"
This isn't how adults talk to one another, this is how a parent talks to a child.
Greg ends his tour because he refused to let another person into his life who would attempt to control him, to belittle his emotions, to insult his interests. Music was his escape from abuse, his reason to live in a horrible home situation, and he refuses to let it be sullied by another abusive figure. Rose may have been the reason to stay in Beach City specifically, but Marty and the abusive past he dredges up in Greg is his reason to not continue on his tour, despite it being his dream.

Looks like those debate club skills his parents forced him to learn did come in handy.

the rose thorn triptych 🌹🦪💎
WIP from many years ago… happy 10th anniversary, steven universe!
i wanted to explore the relationships most affected by rose's life, passing and legacy, and packed in as much symbolism as I could! hope y'all appreciate it!
(also cross-posted on twitter)
(image description available in image, and also under the cut!)
[Image ID: "The Rose Thorn Triptych", a set of 3 illustrations featuring characters from Steven Universe examining the relationships most affected by Rose Quartz.
Left: Rose and Pearl have their hands intertwined in a dancer-like pose, but a tearful Pearl refuses to meet Rose's also tearful but hooded gaze. Rose has her free hand resting on the small of Pearl's back while Pearl is holding her cutlass in her free hand, but the cutlass is symbolically positioned in a way that impales Pearl's back and the sword tip directly pointed at Rose's stomach, at her gemstone.
Middle: Rose is gracefully holding Greg's chin in her hand, as Greg is jumping towards her, desperately gripping her wrist, looking at her tearfully… pleading Rose, begging her not to leave again. Rose also has her eyes hidden in this picture, but tears are obviously trailing down her cheeks.
Right: Steven is viewed from a top-down view surrounded by a bush of roses, crying as he has his head rested in Rose's lap. Rose is attempting to catch his tears with her hands, but is also crying herself. Steven is tightly gripping his chest, lifting his shirt and exposing his gemstone in place of Rose's. As he is doing this, both his hands are being held by an off-screen Greg and Pearl. End ID]

This year I thought it might be fun to try and draw a small Steven Universe doodle each day as a way to express my interest in a Steven Universe Revival, since showing interest is what was encouraged in the SU 10th Anniversary Variety Interview
We’ll see how long I can keep it up! Here’s the first week!

some of my favorite little parallels within SUF that radically enhanced my viewing experience.mp4 :)))
this was IMO the most tightly written part of the entire show, every single WORD out of a character's mouth, every last gd shot... is absolutely intentional and i love it
