Apparently Connie's going to put her tennis skills to use today. :D Note Steven's guitar and Connie's violin. Maybe more Stevonnie time?

((SU's fanart will be the death of me. I love bird mom.

Pearl is really probably a war veteran of sorts. It's sort of insinuated in Rose's Scabbard and bits of other episodes that she fought alongside Rose in some Gem civil war of sorts. Like 5000 years ago or something.

But why are alien communities always, like, planet-wide while we have countries who are constantly at each other's throats? Like the entire race attacks a planet or something. Or Gem culture. Western Gem culture? Eastern? Northern or whatever? Do they just live on a really tiny planet?))

I kinda get the feeling that Mayor Dewey lives in constant fear of getting X-COM'd at any moment judging by his reaction towards Ronaldo's probing.

Since it doesn't seem like that's got a discussion bit here... Holy shit. I think this episode has the best voice acting yet and is officially my new favorite. Why are Greg Episodes always the best? (also that barely concealed Pearl/Rose kiss)

The last couple of episodes have been pretty Pearl heavy, and I've been thinking about some of the things we've seen:

1) So Pearl says that she wasn't meant to be a fighter, but if not, then what was she before and why is her gem weapon a spear? Was it ever anything else? How do Gems change that part about themselves?

2) Gem shards. It seems like Gems don't have the ability to actually die... Even when they're shattered to pieces, they still come back, but just as a random assortment of screaming limbs. And they're stuck like forever. I think humans got the better end of the stick in regards to that.

3) Rose's decision to give Steven a chance to live. This is pure speculation, but maybe Steven was Rose's way of being able to fuse with Greg since she was never able to.

Thanks for making this place, btw! The problem with Tumblr is that it's pretty hard to have a conversation with others because I don't know all the tags to look through.

Sardonyx was amazing, I have a hard time choosing between her and Sugilite as my favorite non-Garnet fusion. And then they both appeared in the same episode!

This episode was really raw. I really felt for Amethyst and Pearl, and the "Cry For Help" title just gets sadder in retrospect.

It was really impressive on a meta level, too; both in the use of the Crying Breakfast Friends juxtaposed in between scenes and the last line of the episode. We, like Steven, often look to works of media with positive messages, or tackle down-to-earth issues we struggle with confronting in real life (Steven Universe is one of these works of media, for many!). We often expect episodes like these to end with advice or clarity and closure as many prior episodes have; but like life, sometimes things just don't go that way.

"It sure would be nice if things worked out the way they did in cartoons."

Amethyst's line serves as both to deliver the episode's message "Sometimes, there aren't any easy ways out" as well as give some fourth-wall-breaking-reassurance for people who are attached to and identify with this show that their favorite characters sometimes don't know what to do, either. It's something the show already does continuously (that is, reassure us that our favorite characters can make the same kind of mistakes and screw-ups we can), but here it addresses it upfront.

Also, the Crying Breakfast Friends are now the Shadow Girls from Utena of the series.

These have been a great few breather episodes while still letting us get to know the characters even better. This particular episode was on the meta side, as though the Crewniverse foresaw that the fanbase would react negatively to the characters messing up and hurting others, and they addressed it in a way that wasn't mean-spirited, either. A good hero must struggle!

Enjoy seeing Pearl smile. If the Sardonyx Week promo art of her is any indication, this is probably the last time we'll see her in good spirits for a while...

Huh! So I was wrong about this being the last we'd be seeing of Pearl in good spirits for a while. Not gonna lie, I was hoping Matt Burnett's comment on the SU wiki about this leading up to Pearl hitting rock bottom was going to pan out. I'm glad she and Garnet have talked things out, though. Their talk about looking up to each other nicely paralleled Vidalia and Amethyst's talk on the same subject.

Peridot's Starscream/Zim deal has been pretty funny, but I want to her to be a legit threat more. Steven's good-natured approach to her given that she tried to kill him once is pretty great, though.

Can we talk about Onion's episode (can't remember the name)?

Good god, it was probably one of the best because of how messed up everything was despite being PG rated. Holy fuck, watching his own birth video? Aaaaaaaaaaaa--!!!

I don't need horror movie monsters when I got Onion.
