It's okay to have favorites as long as you acknowledge that Sardonyx is the best fusion.

Ironically, if you look up Stronger Than You, the original for Stronger Than You is at the top again because of Cartoon Network UK's upload. The only thing that can beat Undertale fans is Corporate Meddling.

Hm, probably Connie I think. I wasn't really ranking characters as I went along. Actually there was one thing I was thinking of, the important "Best Surrogate Mom for Steven" contest. I think I'm probably going to have to disappoint you and probably others and say that Garnet was the best mom. Pearl was better at mother-ing. Amethyst wasn't really in the running because she's more like a cool older sister. Those are my conclusions after analyzing the core main characters of the TV show Steven Universe to determine the best mom.

Also I think I'm caught up now. This is a really entertaining and good show. I don't think I can go apeshit over it the way a lot of yall do but it was a lot of fun and I'll keep watching it. I'll answer any other questions because uh everyone seems to want to ask me them so go for it.

I still think I was right about the onion kid and he's going to turn out to be super evil.

Everyone calls them moms, but I think of them as Aunts raising their nephew. With Amethyst still as the cool sister.

There's going to be new episodes every Thursday of this month if you want to check them out too.

Glad you liked the show! What did you end up thinking about the whole Jasper corruption plot line?

Welp, given that fusion is explicitly supposed to be a metaphor for positive relationships of various kinds, it speaks worse of her character than more or less anything else she does that she's willing to manipulate and coerce others into it. I'm getting over a relationship that was bad for me in a lot of ways, so the part where Lapis is messed up because she actually misses being Malachite on some level, uh, kinda hit a nerve. lol this loving kid's show.

I don't know what to make of the corruption specifically though, like there are some very questionable places someone could take the metaphor using that I guess.

A contract signed by a minor is not binding!
number one reason Bismuth is in the wrong: shattering a gem doesn't destroy the consciousness, merely reduces it to tormented fragments. the death sentence is only a practicality when the hypothetical criminal isn't actually immortal.

these "no-nonsense" solutions of your just don't hold water in a complex world of gem-powered machines and warp travel.

Bubbling is actually the superior method of disposing of gems. So long as they can't be accessed they have effectively been nullified forever. So just send the bubbles into deep space and you're fine.

It's not great, though. I love Undertale but there's something about this that's just lazy and ill-thought out. Using Garnet's song of celebratory joy and victory for Sans - depressed, nihilistic, nothing matters I'll only get off my rear end when reality is ending Sans - fighting against the embodiment of murder. It's just... rough.

Bismuth must learn the lessons that Gul Dukat teaches us on Deep Space 9: A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness.




Then you kill them.

Same, I wish they'd give her at least one more lengthy episode to expand her maybe a little? They did for Sardonyx, and Aimee Mann clearly loved working on the show from her Twitter post.

Tbf to this, the first Steven Universe upload had way more views than this has even now, it just got taken down because Cartoon Network decided to start putting up their own (trying to be exclusive) versions.

I don't think learning your parent wasn't a saint automatically changes your entire worldview. Like, "Hey, Bismuth, I found out my mom did shatter a gem and therefore I have reversed my entire stance regarding the sanctity of life, let's waste some motherfuckers"

If anything, learning his mum murdered a dude may have just made Steven even less okay with murdering dudes or using weapons created for the express purpose of murdering dudes better.
