Steven Universe AU where everything is exactly the same except Peridotās hand-shaped ship comes holding up the middle finger instead of pointing
Hey y'all, I made an animatic! Itās my first, and Iām very much figuring it out, and I ran out of time, but I hope this will be the first in a long line of gradually improving animatics. Song: Dead Mom from Beetlejuice
Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz? Potentially. Rose/Steven? Nope.
Sorry for the change in day and time only temporary. Promise.
Ok so all in all I enjoyed this episode more than I remember enjoying the first time. And verry reluctanly Iām going with a range here around C+ to mid range B. So basically anywhere from a 77-85 on a grading scale so you can tell Iām kind on the fence was it worse than the first episode or pretty much the same feelings I donāt have a solid idea of where I stand as of now. Anyways yeah. Done for today. See you this upcoming friday.
Pssst, spoilers for Steven Universe ahead
(donāt mind me talking about SU way late, I just watched the rest of the show that I missed)
Am I⦠Am I the only one who doesnāt understand the Steven Universe fusions for Steven?
Rainbow Quarts specifically. Steven isnāt a quartz, like the show told us in the beginning but was revealed as false later on. And Pearls certainly arenāt a quartz. However, Amethysts are which justifies Smokey Quarts, but wouldnāt Rainbow Quartz be⦠something else? And, idk Sunstone just confuses me in general.
ok but,,, imagine if Steven kept elements of his corrupted form like Jasper did,,,
A lil and transparent Spinel.
A few weeks ago I realized that the flowers in Pinkās garden are scorpion grasses, also known as forget-me-nots. Now the story is even sadder.
Spinel was the best part of Steven Universe: the Movie and you cannot change my mind.
One scene that lives in my head rent free is that scene where lapis is singing That Distant Shore while staring longingly⢠at peridot. A classic āhistorians would say they were best friendsā scenario
I didnāt re-watch the episode of Steven Universe when we found out what happened with Pink Diamond. Why would you think that?
I donāt know, it just feels weird to me that they had all of this build-up for Amethyst and Jasper to bond and become like a big-sister-little-sister duo and nothing came of it.
Obviously, there were the episodes where Jasper and Amethyst interacted negatively, and Jasper pointed out Amethystās flaws, and Amethyst became a better Gem after realizing that she was perfect as she was.
We were waiting for the episodes in which they met on better terms and perhaps Amethyst would be able to reach out to Jasper and teach her how to accept herself and her circumstances, but they never arrived.
There were the Dove Self-Esteem commercials, one of which featured Amethyst and Jasper talking about bullying:
Amethyst points out sheās okay with her size and how Jasper may beĀ āblowing things out of proportion because sheās got her own issues to work outā, which basically gave Jasperās character more in-depth study in that five seconds than they did in the entire time she existed in the show and thatās not frustrating to think about, is it?
Amethyst had called Jasper āSisā in TWO SEPARATE EPISODES. (āEarthlingsā and āThe Futureā)
Amethyst was also the only one to reach out after Jasper was uncorrupted ā and Jasper let her reach out.
But in literally the next episode in Steven Universe Future, āLittle Homeschoolā, Amethyst is dismissing Jasper entirely without showing us any prior subtext or interactions:
Amethyst to Steven: Seriously, dude, itās been going great! Everyone wants to come and learn how to be an earthling!
Steven, referencing Jasper: Ah⦠Not everyone.
Amethyst: Pfft! Man, forget her!
ā¦
Itās a bit of a 180 to take, donāt you think?
I understand that Amethystās way of handling rejection or an inability to help someone is to act like it doesnāt bother her and to ignore the problem entirely, but I would have liked to see them interacting and trying to reach out to Jasper instead of outright dismissing her and omitting the scene completely.
It feels so strange when you take Amethystās previous reaction to Jasper, which was hopeful and patient, only to have her ignore her entirely in the next scripted episode.
Yes, there was a two-year gap between these episodes, but a lot of things can happen in two years.
Wouldnāt it have made sense to mention or show any of it?
āSo, you think we should send Gold Pearl as a spy?ā Cherry asked. āHmm, I wouldnāt say itās a bad idea, perse, but I donāt understand why we canāt send someone more experienced.ā
āI am willing to go,ā Desert Glass said.
āAre you willing to shatter gems, if need be?ā Pearl asked. āTheyāll probably insist on it, especially because you can fight. Sheās a lot bolder than you and will most likely fit in better, but sheās also inexperienced in combat and will probably have to spend some time training before theyād make her shatter.ā
Desert Glass nodded. āI can understand now.ā
āGarnet?ā Rose asked.
āI can see this going very poorly,ā said Garnet. āBut it could also go very well. Iām sorry Iām not much help at the moment. Everything is so uncertain. But I do think itās a good idea.ā
Pearl and Rose trekked to Roseās secret armory. At the bottom of the cliff, Rose shapeshifted back into Pink, swept Pearl into her arms, and jumped up. Her floating powers let her leap all the way to the top without climbing.
Once they were at the top, Pink set Pearl on the ground and they walked the rest of the way to the armory. At the center of the armory floated Bismuthās bubble.
Pearl and Rose headed back to the Crystal Gem base. They quickly told Garnet everything they āoverheard,ā which included the news about the diamonds turning gems into weapons, and not the part where the diamonds were going to try to heal shattered gems using Roseās tears.Ā
āSo?ā asked Rose. āWhat should we do?ā
āThis is a complicated situation,ā Garnet said. āWe need to exercise caution. Tell our gems to be more cautious- that includes you, Pearl.ā
āMe?ā Pearl said, indignantly.
I have not watched Stievan Youniverz (well, I saw the first episode), and the only spoilers I can think of that I know is that two women get married at some point (are their names Ruby and Sapphire? I could be wrong) and I think someone named Connie ends up with Steven. Iāve probably seen more spoilers but Iāve just forgotten about them. I try to avoid spoilers, but Iām really not that good at it.
