Probably, because I am pretty darn sure that onion's friends are going to end up being corrupted gems of some kind.

This thread gets weird. Nice slice of life episode. Don't think Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny are gay. Weird that people jump to that conclusion if two male characters show any emotion towards each. Yeah, yeah same conclusion might be jumped to with a male and female character but it seems to happen more with two guy characters.

There's like three relationships on this show that could be called gay, one of which is currently platonic and another of which was basically an unrequited crush, but that's enough for everyone to be gay until proven otherwise in the community's eyes.

You should read the comment sections I'm reading.

"They were 'partners' in an 'act of love' and Mr Smiley let him go cause he couldn't make him happy and Mr Frowny let it happen because Smiley wasn't taking it seriously. Clearly relationship talk. Plus they were standing right next to each other and Frowny full on touched him."

One friend kept complaining how he couldn't get into it because Steven was too silly and reminded him of me. Yesterday he told me how much he regrets the time he spent not watching SU. :allears:

Nothing in SU is ever just one thing. Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny had a previous relationship. The emotional beats are the same whether it was a purely business relationship or code for a romantic relationship. If it's important to you that they're gay, then they can be gay. If it's important to you that they're not gay then they're just super good friends and also cousins.

Trying to say that anything in this show is only one thing and anyone who thinks it's something else is wrong is just... not paying attention, honestly.

I got an impression that yeah, she was going to get shattered. I thought, given Homeworld's views about how replaceable gems are, that she had internalized this mindset into believing in a sort of reincarnation. All sapphires are the same--therefore when I die, "I" will see you again when another Sapphire forms.

Oh yeah, didnt even think of that, that's a great interpretation. Like when ruby says 'there's plenty of me!', not realizing she's her own person.

I'm still not convinced that's what the episode was going for, but since there are multiple, non extrapolated explanations, i'd say it ultimately works. Death of the author and all that (though if someone goes to a con, id say getting a clarification on that episode would be a great use of a question)

Eyelashes guy is actually another one of the crewniverse BG extras from Alone Together (not sure who though, then-character designer currently-writer/boarder Colin Howard? the only non-Ian one I can easily identify is the bearded guy with the hat being Lead Character Designer Danny Hynes)

I don't really watch this show at all but I saw the most recent episode because my fiancee was watching it and I had nothing going on so I watched it with her and it was ok and I thought that they were intending for smiley and frowny to be at least maybe code for gay or something because of the giant heart cloud in the sky when they confronted each other at the bus stop

According to the Village Voice, he hates jazz and wants no part of your SoCal Garage-Rock scene.

The L.A.-via-NYC-via-Wisconsin garage-punk outsider is, put bluntly, anti-everything, but certainly not lacking in the shits'n'giggles department. In Krol's wacky world, nothing is sacred. The harmless provocateur has self-released junk-fi slabs with titles like I hate Jazz and Trust Fund.

He looks like Roy Orbison by way of Scott Pilgrim. e: okay, I listened to some of his music and I understand why people might like it but I have NO IDEA why anyone thought it would be a good match for Steven Universe.

It might be.

It feels more coded than usual, given that the show is known for saying what it means about these kinds of feelings. I think it works as old friends or not, there's more than one kind of love after all.

The reason i dont think theyre a gay couple is the show tends to be at least a bit more obvious with its couples. They just acted like old friends who had fell out of touch

According to one of the story boarders Mr. Smiley is indeed gay. Make of this what you will.

Also, Lars is apparently good at both Art and Chemistry despite being bad at (or at least not trying to be good at) all other school subjects.

Philip Rivers posted:

This is super obvious in retrospect but I never noticed the proposal imagery in Bubble Buddies.




The point of the future vision is that you can't always avoid dealing with sadness and other negative emotions, but there are better and worse ways to deal with it. Smiley and Frowny were both sad about the past and were going to be sad no matter how things went, but by talking to each other about it they managed to work past that pain together.

Honestly the only reason Steven and Connie haven't become a couple yet is cause magic stuff keeps interrupting them when things are starting to go that way
