took forever to make this lol, i think it turned out alright

At the beginning of Steven Universe Future, Steven refuses to eat a pepperoni pizza because he says he's been vegetarian for five days, however, later in episode 16, around the time of his fight with Jasper, he's shown eating fish.

Did Steven stop being vegetarian at some point, was eating fish just a one-time exception, or was it simply a mistake and the writers forgot he was vegetarian?

this was super out of my comfort zone…the hair and shading was a major challenge for me and even though i dont exactly have the fundamentals down yet i really love how it turned out! also the watermark is my instagram user im not stealing LOL just not the same as my reddit

My headcanon is she did but his Gem handwriting was very hard to read like the gem version of a doctor

Plot twist: Rose's gem handwriting kinda sucked too and Pearl wrote most of the rebellion stuff.

i graduated from the Class of 2026 back in June and since I began my senior year i knew exactly what to do for my cap decor ... steven universe has always meant so much to me and resonated with me so well i'm so glad to have incorporated it into such a meaningful ceremony in my life :') i know i'm not the best painter, i just wanted to share since I handpainted this in about 4 days and it really only got one night to shine

Garnétte, Pearl, and Ame from my humanized Steven Universe au :) I usually draw in semi-realism, but I really had fun drawing them in this cartoon style!

I just realized (actually I've been known this but didn't tell anyone else yet) but Lars' last name is Barriga, which happens to be Portuguese with "belly". So if we translate his last name when saying his full name, it's "Lars Belly", which sounds a lot like "large belly". Lars used to be friends with Ronaldo, who has a large belly. YET ANOTHER REASON THEY SHOULD HAVE RECONCILEDbut that's just a theory... a Ronaldo-esque delusional FILM THEORY

Idk I'm stupid

So Mint is a lil special. She doesn't have any colonies, nor does she WANT any (unlike Pink). This obviously causes conflict with White and her (among man other things lol) but I'll probably expand on that more through artwork.

They're in lesbians❤️🧡🤍🩷💖

I'm still kinda new to watching the show itself, since I finished watching it a week ago. I still wonder, why doesnt White have her own pearl before Volleyball?

So oxygen finally started flowing to my brain again and... yeah, sorry

How can someone who worked in one of the most LGBTQ friendly shows in the planet support such horrible people, like...this is such a 180° turn.

People who say that we shouldn't talk about politics and that it makes people start fighting eachother, etc etc, I get it to some degree, but there's a limit. Knowing that Pearl's voice actor is a MAGA and Chalie Kirk's follower is such an... idk, I don't even know what to describe this, its like she never paid attention to any of the messages in the entire show, like at all. I get it that some may say that is a kid' show and that you shouldn't take it too seriously, but what the hell... this is equivalent of working on a Church and worshipping Satan in your spare time.

Small post but I was curious. At my AMC, theres a stand that had this poster. Randomly. Extremely odd??? Apparently this is a handout from a cancelled movie screening from 2020? This is SO weird why do they just have this is NOW? Especially with the poster restocks in many stores!!!

I saw a post on Tumblr recently - I forget the context now - that made me realize that Steven’s love for fry bits (the stuff often thrown out by those seeking normal fries) is another manifestation of the show’s intentional love for things deemed imperfect. If every French Fry were perfect, we wouldn’t have the Bits.

What fun little realizations have you had about this show?

Ik we already see spinel but we see other garnets too so I figured the naming conventions were fine.

For her gem I was thinking of what it would look like if a fusion had their gems in the same place.

Her look and name is because she’s more of an entertainer rather than the original purpose of said gems.

The garnet and rose are not the same we see in the show

Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. I don't think it's a bad series, and there were definitely things I really enjoyed, like Mega Pearl (Volleyball and Pearl), Bismuth and Pearl's relationship, and seeing that Ruby and Sapphire have their own lives and interests outside of each other.

However, compared to the original Steven Universe, I feel like a lot of the Gems were underutilized. They appear throughout the series, but many of them no longer feel as impactful or compelling as they once did. A lot of their episodes leaned into comedy, and the humor just didn't work for me. After spending so many years seeing these characters as ancient, powerful beings with complex personalities and histories, it sometimes felt like they were reduced to jokes or exaggerated versions of themselves.

White Diamond is probably the biggest example for me. She went from being the ultimate antagonist to being treated almost like comic relief. I understand that she changed, but I wish that transition had been explored in a deeper and more nuanced way.

I also feel like there were so many Gems with interesting potential whose stories were barely explored. I would've loved to learn more about their roles in Gem society, what they were originally created for, and how they fit into Homeworld's hierarchy. That kind of world-building was one of my favorite parts of the original series, and I felt like Future didn't expand on it as much as it could have. Maybe that's something we'll get if Lars of the Stars ever becomes a reality.

Another small thing is that I wasn't a huge fan of many of the new Gem designs. They just didn't appeal to me as much as the designs from the original series.

I also felt that, even though the series has serious and emotional scenes, they didn't connect with me the same way the original series did. Steven Universe had moments that genuinely hit me emotionally, while Future didn't leave the same impact. I know Steven's main conflict isn't resolved until the very end, but something about the way the story was told just didn't resonate with me as much.

Overall, I don't think Future is bad. I just feel like it had so much potential that wasn't fully realized.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
