Doctor Reynolds posted:

Overthinking things in Steven Universe is a dangerous path to go down. Which is a shame, because overthinking things is my favourite hobby. For example, if Steven only ages if when he "feels" like it, then how did he ever get past infancy?

He was with his dad, who expected him to age, until he gets handed off around 5-6. After that he ages a bit, but not the "right" amount, because while the gems understand that humans grow and change, they don't really get it, and have absolutely no idea about the appropriate time scale. No one else but his dad knows his actual age, and just roll with Steven being Steven. When he first starts to worry about it, it goes completely out of control (Too Many Birthdays), but he returns to his "current" age. However, when he reaches a birthday and someone who (a) actually knows what a human 14 year old looks like and (b) isn't deliberately hands-off to not interfere with "gem stuff" finds out his age and comments on it, he literally has a whisker the very next day (Steven's Birthday).

Stevonnie looks as mature as they do and is hairier than either of them at least partially because Connie knows what an older teen should look like and what their body and facial hair situation should be.

As human as Steven is, his physicality is firmly in the grasp of his self-image, which is firmly in the grasp of what others expect of him (which is sort of the problem). I expect he will have a new look after his road trip if he manages to get his head straight.

Is it because you have no experience with narcissistic personality disorder besides seeing a character in a cartoon show? If so, thank god for that

They're right, sort of, though. While I had an abusive parent growing up, he wasn't a narcissist. I mean, like, yeah he can't or couldn't see how or why any of the poo poo he did was incredibly wrong.

I felt really dumb after posting that initial post anyway*. Comparing people in that thread to a cartoon character.

*before anyone else said anything, lol.

Well White was pretty clearly meant to represent a bad parental relationship, and particularly one where the parental figure thought they were perfect, so I don't see what was that dumb about it

I’ve been finally watching this show and enjoying it. I watched first 4 season on Hulu. Season 5/movie/future was on Cartoon Network app last night. I had half hour left on the movie last night, but decided to go to bed.

All of those were removed from the app last night lol. I feel personally attacked. Just needed to vent real quick.

edit: 5 is now on HBO max, but movie/future aren't.

No but we'll find out Gems actually bleed before they poof and we'll go digitally add shitloads to the Alexandrite vs. Malachite fight.

I hope it's a much longer gap than Adventure Time had. Future felt like a motivated epilogue tied up in executive fuckery, but I don't want to see more Steven Universe on television. Of course, even though I don't indulge, I'd like to know there's still the video games and comics and all that ancillary material out there keeping the flame alive until it's time to bring it back.

By the by they are finally getting around to releasing background music from the series, one CD per season, per month (Including a release for SUF in October)
Though the first release covers mostly stuff that was once on the soundcloud.
