For Garnet, this one takes the cake for me. Completely disregards how steven feels and turns it about pearl

Opinion?

Throught the franchise we see that cracked gems results in harmful physical deformities for their bodies. But the only effects Lapis' gem crack seemed to have were her reflective eyes and the inability to use her wings, otherwise she seemed perfectly fine and capable.

Her gem crack was also pretty big. Is she just "built different" from other gems?

I'm wondering if Pearl putting her hands over her mouth could be different from a human-like trauma.

Pearls are designed to be more obedient than any other gem type. So I'm wondering if their "base code" has a greater ability to override their free will.

When Pearls are asked to make a vow, could it become a part of their coding, and their bodies turn on them if they try to break it?

Ive been thinking about the implications of the pearls being slaves. While it is a fictional society, its something that should still be treated with tact. I had this thought because of some fanarts i see where the pearls are almost treated as sex slaves, and generally very disturbing nsfw art. Even with sfw art, sometimes they are drawn with their masters like the diamonds in a humorus and wholesome way. I just sit there and think... isnt this kind of weird? They mistreated them and literally own them

Im mostly talking about blue pearl and yellow pearl in this post. Anyway, i kind of worry ill potray the pearls in insensitive ways because i like them alot and draw fanart of them. I hope i wont do that unintentionally

I know the show itself doesnt dive into it in a super dark way since its a kid show, so some of you may think im overreacting, but i still think its strange

This is a rant with minor spoilers for season 1 and 2.

Before Peridot and Jasper came to Earth (The Return) and even for a while after that, Steven was a kid at heart, even though he was 14yo. I keep seeing people in this sub expecting a level of maturity he had no way of possessing at such time.

The last comment I saw was along the lines of "Oh, he shouldn't have dismissed Connie in Full Disclosure, I hate that moment and the whole episode". Yeah, he shouldn't have, but this is a kid who:

- was never taught how to deal with complex feelings like those

- has been told from a very early age he would have incredible powers inherited from his goddess of a mom

- saw how his father was worried sick to the point of having a panic attack after learning what happened during the invasion

- internalized that he's responsible for other people's well-being

How could he not think Connie would be better off without him? Cognitive behavioural therapy teaches us how we have cognitive distortions that affect our perception of reality, it takes active training to learn how to notice and work around them. It can take years even for adults. A kid raised by magical sentient rocks from space and an unprepared traumatized dad has no hope of knowing how to deal with that, cut him some slack.

I seriously believe people have forgotten what it's like to be young and poorly prepared to deal with life. Put yourself in the kid's shoes and see how messed up his life was. It's no wonder he ended up like he did in Future.

That's why in the marriage episode between sapphire and ruby they made ruby wear a dress instead of sapphire

Just 5 minutes ago they were happy and singing, frolicking in a green field, just to get attacked by a deranged gem trying to kill them for seemingly no reason while screaming a funky song.

Hello Steven Universe fans,

I've come up with an admittedly silly theory while I was at night and that is that Rose Quartz is you 🫵 or at least the audience of the show.

I say this for a few reasons:

1. It explains the 'steven pov' rule if its his mother watching over him/her gem from beyond, making sure he is safe.

2. The use of the star wipe at the end of episodes, which during Rose Quartz's video tape, we hear her fiddling with the camera before a star wipe appears, asking "was that the right one?"

This star wipe, as we know, is used in just about every Steven Universe episode-except for some. And those ones are when theres a cliffhanger or when there's trouble, which leads to my third point

1. The ending song of Steven Universe is "Love Like You" sung by Rebecca Sugar. Its already been a popular theory that this song is from the perspective of Rose Quartz-whether it be to Steven, Pearl, Greg, the Crystal Gems or even herself-the lyrics of disappearing, learning to 'love like you', the audience thinking they're 'special' while they 'think that I'm bad' is all traits Rose has.

I mention this because-similar to the star wipe-the Love Like You song is removed from the end credits in episodes where there's a cliffhanger or danger.

I think the reason these two traits that is shown at the end and are connected to Rose disappear when Steven is in danger is because these two traits signal a time skip in Rose watching over Steven, so whenever its not there, Rose is too concerned over Steven's safety to have a time skip.

I'm aware this is a bit silly, but it's not the craziest "Rose is this person" theory that's out there.

Hey guys, this is a pic I did for the 2nd day of Inktober this year. It's Priya from Total Drama Reboot as Connie :) I never actually watched Steven Universe but this was suggested by a follower so I did some research and ended up using the scene from Do it for him. Hope y'all like it ^_^

The wife and I were on the topic of birthstones when the thought popped into my head: if Emerald and Amethyst fused, what would be the resulting gemstone/mineral?

this made me wonder if the author of bleach was a gooner or not tbh

So you’ve mean to tell me that this gem was just sitting right above them for centuries since the lighthouse was built and nobody thought to go and retrieve it? Not even Garnet or Rose? Who even put it inside the wall.

I believe Rose intentionally left some monsters to roam such as the desert glass which she doesn’t seem too bothered by in the episode “Buddy’s Book”. Same thing with the pyramid temple which was also seen in Buddy’s Book. They likely prioritized the more threatening monsters first and then obtained the rest by the time Steven was born.

I just love him so much
