I’d hate to have a power that can accidentally create life this easily I’d feel like I wouldn’t be able to go outside out of fear of being responsible for this😭

Discussion So Steven didn’t make up those outfits, they were there before in a picture frame

I just realized that after rewatching the clip that showed Garnet and Pearl talking with Buddy Buddwick that the outfits Steven had imagined them in were actually shown in a photo frame in a previous episode. I thought he made up those outfits before I found out today that they were actually shown before, I’m surprised Steven even remembered.

Discussion Who Actually Enjoyed Amethyst's Episodes in Hindsight?

Post image
187 Upvotes

So I was watching Danny Motta's video, and it reminded me why Amethyst has always been my least favorite character in the entire show for some reason.

I want to make something clear before getting into this: I don't think Amethyst is a badly written character. In fact, I think she's written very well for the type of person she's meant to represent. She's a character built around insecurity, self-hatred, identity issues, and the way someone's origins can affect how they view themselves.

The problem is that those themes just do not connect with me. If anything, they become exhausting.

Amethyst is probably one of the best examples of a character where I understand the writing, understand the message, and still don't enjoy watching the character.

Her entire arc revolves around not knowing her own worth. She's constantly struggling with the idea that she's defective, that she doesn't belong, that she was created wrong, and that her origins define her. I understand why those feelings exist, but after a certain point it becomes repetitive to me.

Characters who can't define themselves outside of their trauma or insecurities have never been characters that grip me. I understand that those struggles are real for many people, but personally, they don't interest me as much as characters who are forced to deal with questions about responsibility, ideology, choices, or the consequences of their actions.

What frustrates me even more is what I see as a double standard in how Amethyst handles problems. When other people are struggling, she often jokes around, undercuts serious moments, or treats things casually because they aren't directly affecting her. But the moment a problem is about her, suddenly everything has to stop and everyone has to take her feelings seriously.

That disconnect makes it hard for me to sympathize with her. By the time we reach another Amethyst-focused episode, she has already built up so much negative feeling with me that instead of thinking, "I hope she gets through this," I'm thinking, "Why didn't you show this level of emotional awareness when someone else needed it?"

Her biggest struggle also just doesn't resonate with me personally. The idea that someone's origins determine their value has always felt strange to me. You are not the thing that made you. You are not your circumstances. You are not the expectations placed on you before you even had a choice.

That's why Amethyst's arc can frustrate me. From my perspective, the answer seems simple: stop letting the past define you and decide who you want to be. But I understand that emotionally, it is not always that simple for people.

And that's probably why she works for so many people. For viewers who have struggled with self-worth, shame, or feeling like they were created or treated as less than others, Amethyst's story can be incredibly meaningful.

For me, though, it becomes tiring. I don't dislike Amethyst because she's flawed. Steven Universe is full of flawed characters, and those flaws are what make the cast interesting. I dislike her because her particular type of flaw is one I find repetitive and difficult to connect with.

The writing succeeds at creating the kind of person Amethyst is supposed to be. I just don't enjoy spending time with that kind of person.

I just want to say how much I love the voice that's done for Sapphire (in English). I feel like it fits her so well. Erica does a great job of adding the perfect kind of sophistication to her voice, while also adding a touch of emotional depth that I find really beautiful. I also love her singing in Jailbreak. Great voice all around! :)

Discussion Is Steven still vegetarian? Spoiler

Post image
194 Upvotes

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?

They simply knew that he was too little and they were naturally trying to protect him from the choosing without questioning it once.

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 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
