I'm sorry but the fact connie goes in for a kiss at the end doesn't mesh with my shipping projections, therefore this .gif is bad and frankly incorrect.

Can we talk about how it's canon that Pearl almost fuckin killed Steven to bring back Rose :stare:

I figured this'd be shown at some point, I mean its the easy answer to a very thorny (from a gem's perspective) problem. The funny part is she absolutely would have done it had rose not ordered her not to.

I always liked the metaphor I read on here a few years ago comparing this to TTGo and Gumball (Paraphrased)

The latter two are the kids who're trying to be cool and popular, drawing attention to how unique they are in a somewhat loud manner, kinda like "Ya like stop motion? We have clay, papercraft, any craft you want! We have funny jokes and wacky adventures! We reference all your favourite stuff that you like! Come play with us! PLEASE LIKE US!"

Steven Universe is the kid who doesn't give two shits. You only notice him one day when strolling along the beach and seeing him and 3 of his friends hanging out around a barbecue pit. A conversation with him goes like:
"Hey, We're having a little barbecue. You wanna join us?"
"Nah, not right now. I'm kinda busy"
"Cool, cool. Well if ever you want to come, you know where we are. :cool:"

That's a lovely metaphor and also makes you- or whoever wrote it, seem like they ascribe way too much of their personal identity and hangups into the children's cartoons they watch and enjoy.

Blasphemeral posted:

I may be misinterpreting what poster Who What Now meant, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't at all a "rape joke". (S/)he was wondering what possible horrible thing episode "Onion Gang" of children's television cartoon Steven Universe could have possibly done to elicit such a response from forum poster Motherfucker, and jumped to the worst thing (s/)he could think of, as that seems to fit the response that poster Motherfucker was describing.

In other words, everyone is overreacting babies itt.

Onion Gang was intentionally squirm-inducing, but otherwise an unobjectionable episode of television.

guy probably thought my posts were serious business because there are people with genuinely strong opinions about children's cartoons on this forum.

I like that there are rare flashes of danger from Peridot, like the time she rekt everyone with a giant robot or the attack drones she just happened to have when that dude came by.

Motherfucker

I'd still love to see what would have happened if Peridot actually did try and mess up the CGs actively. Her whole thing was trying to do her goddamn job initially than and after getting her ride blown up thanks to unforeseen circumstances being piss scared and trying to get off an alien planet which to her knowledge was going to blow the gently caress up any minute, this pretty much shaped her priorities, anything she did to hinder / trap / damage the CGs was mostly secondary to 'get the gently caress outta here'. If Jasper had actually done her loving job and lead the mission instead of fusing with lapis and loving off to the bottom of the ocean I'm pretty sure her and pdot would've beat up all the CGs handily no problem and been back home before you could sing a song about it.

A culture that's spent millennia in a strict hierarchical framework where class interaction (much less movement) is explicitly discouraged and brutally punished tends to be rather bereft of critical thinking and out-of-role ambition.

Pretty sure there was a Discworld quote about it

e: here 'tis

Well yeah but think about it like this, if Jasper had stuck to her role (Not fusing with gems outside of type / engaging in a one on one slugfest for pride reasons) than their discipline and straight up superiority in most circumstances would have triumphed over the hippie remnants of a failed, leaderless rebellion.

I'm just saying it kinda feels like a failing of the plot that the good guys triumphed over the forces of evil because the forces of evil... tried to copy their tactics for no reason, even though said tactics are seen as gross heresy? I mean I get why Jasper thought it might help but she could just as easily grabbed a gem destabilizer and destabilized the poo poo out of the CGs like the first time. Jasper would have had no trouble defeating amethyst and pearl single handedly and no doubt with Peridots backup... just regular, no fusing, probably could top garnet as well. Steven would be no challenge beyond that.

My favorite part of The Zoo is when Greg and Steven explain that you choosen your own partners on Earth, and the guy immediately goes "hmm... then I choose you!" :buddy: and so does everyone else. Only Rebecca Sugar could take a human husbandry program and turn it into a queer/poly friendly lesson on consent, lol.

The fact that everyone was a coddled infant who cried at the first sign of rejection / resistance was also nice.

Taken from Reddit, another slightly different interpretation which is close to the first:

The implication that the rose quartz and humans she is currently protecting have the power of 'feeling'. Which is useless to them.

I.e.
A lapis is for terraforming. A sapphire is for planning war. An agate is for terrifying. A rose quartz is for feeling. But why bother yourself with protecting that, what's the point in feeling?


I doubt this, for starters it doesn't gel with the rest of gem society and the message they're trying to convey about how hosed up it is because they're not in touch with their emotions. You've got WARRIORS and TECHNICIANS and Feelers... nah. Plus its proven and demonstrable gems have emotions and feelings all of their own, their society is the problem.

I mean even if Rose Quartzes were a kind of therapist gem or whatever I'm pretty sure their ability to manipulate plants is more their selling point, they're just a niche use gem that the diamond authority is totally ok with wiping out completely since one of them went so loving crazy.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:

Rose Quartz powers might be "control over living things", which explains the plant control and the dream posession, and at a stretch the gem healing and empathy abilities.

perfect for manipulating annoying sub-gem lifeforms like humans for example. If her skill is manipulation it also explains a LOT about her and how she became gem Hitler.

I really want to know more about Blue Pearl, she's been by Blue Diamond's side for all these years during her depression, I wonder how that's affected her. Maybe she wants to cheer BD up as much as YD does, but she never does anything about it because she's a Pearl and doesn't want to step out of line.
