OH GARNET ;_;

I'm glad we saw some real one on one interaction between Garnet and Steven.

>>232840
It's so great that a huge component of her character is what actual mothers and sons have, that genuine "You don't know me and I don't know how to relate to you."

Like she wanted him to get closer to her, that's just so damn sweet.

Leading up to the reveal that she's fusion

>>232843
They must be awfully small gems considering she's not much taller than Pearl.

>>232844
My guess is they were dying and it was sort of a last ditch type thing, hence why it's permanent.

>>232843
Hasn't Rebecca actually gone on record saying she wasn't?
Could have sworn that was on a Reddit Q&A before...

>>232850
Both time Sugar replied to a question about Garnet's two gems or the blue gem on the door, her response was just "no spoilers/keep watching".

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw0cls
http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjw1h8h

Only one person directly presented the theory that Garnet was a fusion, and it didn't get a reply.

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e4gmx/i_am_rebecca_sugar_creator_of_steven_universe_and/cjvzyng

I still find that to be quite the plausible theory, Garnet tried to fusion in an attempt to save them but they were too far gone and their mind just vanished.

Okay.
Show's back on for regular reruns.
We're safe. There was nothing to worry about.

They just dumped plot and lore all over this episode

>>232963
I was not expecting that.
Also, just in general, HOLY SHIT THIS EPISODE.

Finally, Amethyst gets some depth to her.

>>232973
Considering this show - if it seems like a reference, it probably is one.

Holy CRAP I did not expected this much. Or to find out what Peridot meant by "kindergarten" so soon.

>>232973
>I hope I'm not the only one who immediately thought of this when the "hole" thing came up.
I thought of it the second it was onscreen.

//youtube.com/watch?v=MG7_bVwhr6I

OH FUCK, the very first thing she's looking for.

This is a very good show.

>>232988
It is, yeah.

>>232988
>>232989
In so many different ways.

>>232990
for the sake of conversationin what ways would you say?

>>232984
literally the only reason why that episode happened

>>232984
Okay lets follow this logic string using normal earth stones as comparison Gems must take EONS to form.

My guess is that the REALLY REALLY powerful gems like Rose are originals, Pearl and one of Garnet's gems before fusion are artificial like Amethyst but made through less extreme measures possibly on the original world.

I'm guessing Garnet is as tough as she is because she's a fusion of an Artificial and Original.

>>232984
Oh man, the "We kept Amethyst" line is so cruel now.

>>232991
>in what ways would you say?

Story-wise, you can tell a lot of thought has been put into the background and how it's presented to the audience. Just as important, though, is that is has characters endearing and with enough depth to give a shit about. When you've got these elements working together at once the results are some amazing pathos: Lion 3 and On the Run are probably the best examples; if aliens draining the earth to mine people using giant bacteriophage wasn't creepy enough, Amethyst talking about how she was born out of a hole in the wall sure fixed that. Also, it's usually pretty funny!

Art-wise, the character-designs are extremely diverse, expressive, and aesthetically pleasing, the animation is pretty good (although some storyboarders's style are worse, or at least very different, from others), and the backgrounds are beautiful. The music is really good too.

>>232994
However it works, and regardless of the motives/morality of whoever made the kindergartens, it does indicate some harsh consequences for the gems as a people. They don't age and they're hard to kill, but they're always fighting and sometimes get corrupted. If they really come into being that slow, they'll probably never go extinct, but could end up with new gems just being born scattered in the middle of nowhere with no one to live with or society to learn from.

the longest of the long shots

so the polymorphic sentient rocks came to earth to create more gems, perhaps your civilization has perished and few original gem survived, those that can be differentiated by staying in a unique color pattern, such as lapis lazuli and rose quartz, (I can not tell if her dress is white or a very light pink), then to rebuild their civilization they created artificial gem on their home planet, as garnet, pearl and peridot, but the planet did not have enough resources to reconstruct all its civilization it turned to the land and its mineral resources, probably before mankind dominion over the earth, were used as labor by the gems, which would probably make rose to fight against his own people. Rose and her followers probably won the battle and closed the passage between the worlds, and helping early humans as guardians.

>>233013
Something like that it seems. The Gems have been involved in human history for a long time.

Creepy as that was what Peridot was going to manually restart. Lore just keeps getting deeper.

>>233023
It's even creepier when you think about what the term kindergarten means, literally Child Garden.

>>233023
What am I supposed to be seeing in the puddle?

>>233026
Oh, is that all? With your reaction I was expecting something pretty questionable.
It's cool and all, but there has been things that are WAY more direct and blatant than something like that that have gone past the censors.

That's pretty tame, honestly.

>>233027
Well it's not nearly as horrifying as say, the "flesh apple" from Adventure Time, but I couldn't remember any CN shows having what is obviously red blood lying around... until I looked it up and remembered the couple times Adventure Time also puddles of blood lying around (and that one flash of a blood explosion).

Fair point, I oversold that.

>>233028
And the blood demon turning his own blood into a sword.

Since we're already bringing up Adventure Time here anyway WOW, what a fucking pathetic episode, Finn meets his fucking Dad again and STILL NOTHING HAPPENS, it would have been the usual fair but with the Amythyst episode the same night it was just embarrassing.

>>233086
The people in charge of AT must be at odds with each other because I keep seeing attempts to roll back interesting plot points into the status quo. The end result is that the show has become remarkably boring and depressingly obtuse. Whatever fun the series had is being lost to this vague introspective bullshit.
The show needs a total recharge or just to end soon, because it's getting sad to see all that potential and progression flushed down the drain.

SU seems to be far better structured beforehand, so I'm hoping it'll retain it's wonder for longer.

>>233086
>>233118
There's already an Adventure Time thread on the second page, guys.>>227292

>>233122
We are discussing it in the context of a comparison to Steven Universe, chill.

Man, Steven's coming along so great, good to see he really has a backbone.

https://mega.co.nz/#!dMA03SaZ!qQnJdCwvilyI7enLfTDEhKPZ2VV0Vw_fe0JywN3ZSKA

Ronaldo is kind of a dick. Guy was all too ready to sacrifice another person when he had no real assurance that it would stop anything, even if that person is Lars who is definitely a dick.

>>233145
It's one of my favorite elements about this show. Steven is inexperienced and naive, but otherwise he's a bad-ass in the making, and it's shown in a lot of subtle moments in the show.

It's refreshing, honestly.

>>233122
>implying anyone would give enough of a shit about Adventure Time to actually want to talk about it in it's own thread

>>233149

Ronaldo seems to vary between kind of intensive to potentially dangerous it seems, like in the episode about conspiracy theories.

>Nobody likes Adventure Time anymore

News to me. I'm still really liking it. Yeah it's slow to reveal stuff, but it's always been like that, and I like a show that can take a break from goofy adventures to have some more contained and introspective stories.

>>233163

They seem to be slowly building towards a Second/Third (if you count the Evergreen one) Apocalypse, what with the hints that have been dropped since the show came back from haitus.

>>233163
I'd be cool with slow reveals if they actually stuck. Nothing seems to carry much consequence.
But that's a discussion better left for the AT thread.

>>233149
>implying anyone would give enough of a shit about Adventure Time to actually want to talk about it in it's own thread

Sugar really took the quality with her, huh?

>>233183
That's a drastic understatement.

Also it was hilarious that Steven called Lars a dink and that people on 4chan were going "OMG HE SAID DINK ON TEEVEE!?!!!1"

>>233192
Pfft. SOMEONE'S four years old.

>>233193
You'd think so, but like, dozens of people on 4chan were really amazed they would say dink on TV.

Dink?
That's a bad word?

>>233195
Depending on where you live, it can just mean "idiot" or be another way of saying "dick". I kind of doubt whoever wrote that line had that second one in mind.

Little story for Friday 13:

This episode was awesome, there is a good chance that the Diamond forces will actually have to invade since it seems the Gems have bombed the warp pad.

Ha ha ha! What!

>>233357
I'm willing to see what it's like before I pass judgement, Uncle Grampa is a little low brow but it does usually do some fun things with it's animation.

>>233349
She got started in TV acting first I think.

https://mega.co.nz/#!IF5ynZAQ!SZZ5tmo_J-cczfboXigoTHVX7I8zySchXfglycQi02s

>>233451
I like at the start they have this double entendre, and you're thinking 'oh it's like Fingerprints on Animaniacs, haha got one by the censors'...

Yeah, I don't know if that was a joke anymore.

i love this fuckin show

>>233456

That was a bitch move on Amethyst's part. Wooooooooooooow.

I never would have imagined the character with the most involving character development in the show would've been Amethyst.

How does a kids show get away with such heavy implications?

>>233452
Was it rape?

>>233452

I'm pretty sure I missed what you're talking about (because I am teh dumb). Explain plz?

I... don't think it's implying any sort of past intimate relationship between Greg and Amethyst, but there's definitely room for interpretation.

Regardless, the whole thing hit hard.

On a different subject, I've been theorizing as to how Gems become corrupted. The main theories I've come up with are that it's something that has always happened, it's something that only happens to Gems from the Kindergarten, or that Earth's environment disagrees with their biology (mineralogy?) somehow. Anyone got any others ideas they like?

So here's my read on the situation:

Amethyst and Rose used to be close and Amethyst liked that. Then Rose met Greg and started spending more time with him, which made Amethyst feel rejected. Some time after Rose died, Amethyst and Greg started spending time with each other because they had shared interests. However, Greg kept leaving because he had other things he needed to do (being a father and a small business owner and a biological human). When he did, Amethyst got that same feeling of rejection, which turned into resentment toward Greg for taking Rose away from her. She would then lash out at Greg by using her shapeshifting powers to taunt him, especially by turning into Rose.

I don't think there was anything untoward going on, just Amethyst acting out because of her issues. Kinda weird how Amethyst went from being the shallowest of the Gems to the deepest in just a couple of episodes, huh?

>>233476
What about the possibility that Amy knew Greg before Rose?

>>233480
Thats what I was thinking. Rose knew about Greg through her.

>>233569
They've done this with other shows fairly recently too. Sense November.

"We can't fight these things forever. Well we can, but I don't want to."

Well, apparently I'm going to have to crawl into a cave until Thursday if I want to avoid whatever spoilers are in the promos for Jail Break.

Yknow what? Screw all the other gems, Garnet is the real OG bae <3

>>233620

Everyone knows Pearl is best gem.

:3

>>233621
Wrong.

>>233620
Right.

>>233603

I also love how Connie's favourite book series is basically licence-free His Dark Materials. Wonder if Steven will come across the sucky film adaptation in a bargain bin and that somehow segues into PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT PLOT again.

God, I love this show.

>>233631
Not to get all spoilery on the ending of His Dark Materials, but I didn't think it was "bad", what it did was tear my heart out and punch me in the gut. I can see why a couple of kids like Steven and Connie would want to change it to something more upbeat.

And in a similar spoiler-avoiding vein, I think I'll be steering clear of promos next week. This is gonna be fuuuuun...

>>233656

Eh, the ending made sense in the extended William Blake-homage that Pullman was going for.

>>233679

True. Hearing Lapis Lazuli's comments at the end of two-parter sounds a lot more ominous knowing what we do now.

https://mega.co.nz/#!vxh20BaD!ciYPW3r3eWUibOjYOyEcZuPXyShz05wVBZV2nJJVtGE

Thank you Avery.

;-; These tears will never stop.

This show is something else.

My gosh. Was everyone in love with Rose? That ending with Pearl heavily implied some sort of love, right? I can't be just seeing things

>>233696
Amethyst saw Rose as a mother while Pearl saw her in a militaristic quasi-religious manner.

>>233696
Gems are technically asexual and don't normally reproduce. The line between romantic and platonic feelings between each other is kind of meaningless.

That said, Amethyst definitely saw her as more of a maternal figure.

>>233696
Yknow, I think its more of an overwhelming admiration of someone that looks like it. I guess she was supposed to be an extraordinary person, to the point where she'd actively end up giving birth to Steven, something absolutely out there.

...

Or maybe that's just my fuckin' hetero lens right there, maybe they did wanna pork her, iunno

//youtube.com/watch?v=mpmgHQbpbvM

This song is becoming ever more apt as Rose's theme.

>>233696
Greg and Pearl were very clearly romantically involved with Rose. Amethyst saw her as a maternal figure, and we have no idea how Garnet was with her.

>>233712
>Greg and Pearl were very clearly romantically involved with Rose.

Even if Pearl felt that way, it doesn't seem Rose reciprocated.

>we have no idea how Garnet was with her.

And while we wait for the inevitable to be revealed, it's another good thing to speculate about.

If I had to guess, I'd say Garnet thought she was, if not a rival, than someone to aspire to be equal or better to, contrast with Pearl who basically puts Rose on a pedestal at all times.

>>233712
Garnet I see as the Johnny Gat. Steadfast and loyal lieutenant

>>233714
I'm not sure I agree. Rose saying "my Pearl" at least heavily implies that it was reciprocated. Whether or not it remained that way after 5000 years is another matter

>>233720
I think it might be a similar Marcie and PB situation they worked as a couple for a while but then their goals started to change and so did they.

Deep and loving relationships don't have to be romantic you know.

>>233722
Wow no I didn't know that. Thanks for that

>>233723
Assuming you're being sarcastic, what's with all the talk of them being lovers then?

>>233734
Because it's just as plausible as a non-romantic relationship so your snarky oh-so-helpful comment was not needed

https://www.youtube.com/user/robsugar/tem
>Rob Sugar: Steven Universe has been picked up by Cartoon Network fro Season 3. That means there will be at least 158 episodes at this point. Everyone has seen only 43.

I think we can safely conclude the network believes in Steven at this point.

Man, folks get so defensive when it's implied (or even stated) that characters aren't straight. Rebecca Sugar even said at one point that the Gems (despite being biologically genderless) form romantic relationships amongst themselves, so Pearl and Rose being a couple in the millennia they were together isn't exactly out of the question.

Welp. Another good ep!
Slow, but nice little bits of character development.

OOH, THAT ENDING

>>233737
Maybe they need to call people out on their "hetero lenses". I'll admit it was something that would have been a thing with me in the past as well. But with shows broaching the subject more now than they were allowed in the past. Its a bit better even if people bitch and call it pandering.

Eh. I could go for Pearl/Garnet but for some reason Pearl/Rose just doesn't really strike my fancy. Not really sure why.

>>233743
She has a pretty great design, true. All the gems do in honesty. I love it when shows vary the body types and color schemata like that. It's good practice from a design perspective and one not nearly enough shows utilize.

Probably because they're both femmes, whereas with Pearl/Rose you have contrasting personalities which makes it interesting.

>>233735
There's no need to go on the defensive. I'm just throwing in the perspective.
If Rose and Pearl clacked stones, big deal, but any amount of affection shown in these shows seems to be automatically interpreted as purely amorous.

To me, it looked like a disciple/teacher relationship.

I don't even watch SU, but Peridot has an amazing design. I dropped it after the character design change debacle. But from what I've been filtering from various scources is that the plot and characterization has picked up so I will definitely marathon it once it completes its current season.

>>233747
It's a perspective that's the norm so it wasn't actually adding anything to the conversation. It's also dangerously close to "why do they need to be in love? Why can't they just be friends?" as though that's mutually exclusive and/or not what everyone says every time there's even a hint of a non-straight romance.

Also I'm mildly worried if that's how you and your past teachers spoke to/about each other

I'd like to see more of the Gem War. And when Pearl started to realize she was losing Rose to the humans and couldn't connect the way she was beginning to.

>>233751
To be fair a lot of people were jumping all over the "Amethyst and Greg were totally fucking" wagon right above this even though there's not a lot of evidence that shit was going on in the slightest.

>>233753
tbh I think that proves my point.
Minimal evidence of a straight relationship = they were totally fucking.
Pretty damning evidence of a gay relationship (whether it actually lasted or not is immaterial) = gosh there's other types of love besides romantic, you know. They're just friends

Don't have any real opinion on SU shipping or Pearl/Rose since I haven't actually watched the show yet, but my personal aversion to shipping goggles comes more from conditioning in the old days of "classic" yaoi fandom when Drarry/Clophiroth/GW 1x2/Legogorn/RoyEd/BuffyFaith/etc were still huge things with extreme levels of overanalysis (they said something nice to each other that means they love each other!) and often accompanied with HORRENDOUS misogyny/misandry.

The circles I was in had bizarre double standards that led to Harmonians rightfully getting ostracized while rabid Drarry and Snarry shippers went unchecked so it took until Zutara before I developed that same distaste towards hetshippers, but since the vast majority of negative experiences I've had with extreme shipper behavior during my early fandom days occurred with same-sex pairings that made it harder for me to unlearn that skepticism even with more legitimate queer couplings.

>>233751
>It's a perspective that's the norm
Now, see, the thing is, I don't give a shit.
Girls fuck.
Guys fuck.
I'm a guy who fucks guys and I know girls that fuck girls. That's just the nature of it.
I don't care how it relates to normal perception. Especially on the internet.

The only thing I'm trying to say is that I think people here jumping the gun here. The relationship didn't seemed like a different sort of devotion. As a Knight serves a Queen. That's it.

>Also I'm mildly worried if that's how you and your past teachers spoke to/about each other

I don't know where you're pulling these assumptions about my life or perspectives but I would appreciate it if you cut that shit out. I'm not the generic antagonist you seem to think I am.

>>233753

I think the "I've seen your junk" line played into it a bit more.

>>233759
>As a Knight serves a Queen. That's it.
Man amorous or not their relationship was way deeper than that. Pearl was incredibly defensive over even the very idea that Rose might keep secrets from her or that she was only as important as all the other Gems. That's the whole point of the episode, showing how Pearl related with Rose. It's really interesting especially since, for how protective she was of her special status, she doesn't show Steven or Greg any resentment at all. She actually seems fairly fond of both of them.

>>233759
>I think the "I've seen your junk" line played into it a bit more.
Yeah but into the episode she explicitly compares the relationship Greg and Steven have to the one THEY had before.

>>233760
>>233762
Okay.
Let me put it another way.

Rose is Oprah.

>>233763
You seem to be fighting pretty hard against even the idea that they were romantically involved and for the life of me I don't see why. You're telling me you seriously don't see how that entire episode can be interpreted as romantic? Really? You don't see what anyone here is talking about at all? I find that hard to believe

>>233764
It's set up to be vague enough that any interpretation (worship, lovers, one-sided crush, obsession, whatever) is valid at this point. Neither the people who insist it can only be completely platonic or the people who insist that they were definitely in a relationship before are necessarily right, nor do they have the right to insist that people who see it the opposite way are clearly blinded by their heterocentrism/(anti)shipping goggles. Can we just agree to leave it there?

>>233764
>You seem to be fighting pretty hard against even the idea that they were romantically involved
I'm not.
All I said was deep and loving relationships don't have to be romantic, and the relationship here doesn't look like a romantic kind.
Then it blew up into weird accusations and assumptions.

I take this same perspective with straight relationships. Just because people care about each other doesn't mean they're fucking.

Frankly it's not that important and I'm mostly just responding to comments like:
>your snarky oh-so-helpful comment
>folks get so defensive
>heir "hetero lenses".
>>>233751
Like I was some standard homophobic villain for not thinking the relationship seemed romantic. That sucks.
I don't like people making assumptions about me. I want to make sure my point is clear and people understand what I mean. So let me clear the air as best I can.

-If Rose and Pearl where romantically/sexually involved, that's fine.
-Pearls interest in Rose came off as quasi-religious servitude from my perspective.

That's about as clear as I can get. I'm moving on.

Mayor Dewey...is a really great guy.

One of these days, I'm feeling I'll edit this season of SU. Cut out the fat and make it less episodic. Merge episodes together so it flows more continuously.

It could be fun.
Would that be cool to see?

>>233771
I dunno, I think it could work but you'd have to be super careful, 90% of what people think is "fat" in Steven Universe are integral lessons in Steven's development.

>>233772
True, true. I don't think much cutting would be needed with these latest episodes, but the earlier stuff has a bit more fluff. I think what I'm saying is, making a fanedit that focuses more on the overarching plot.

>>233770
Not to different from your or me.

>>233772
Or a minor episode has some foreshadowing or minor reveal that wouldn't make sense elsewhere.

"Arcade Mania" and "Steven's Lion" are probably two of the weakest and least important episodes of season 1a, but you can't leave out Lion's introduction or Steven finding out Garnet has three eyes--stuff just wouldn't make sense.

>>233771
>>233772
>>233774
The only episode I could see safely being cut is the one that was entirely Steven imagining what Garnet was doing. Possibly Watermelon Steven (or whatever it was called), too.

>>233777
And everything about Lars and Sadie's relationship.

>>233776
>"Arcade Mania" and "Steven's Lion" are probably two of the weakest and least important episodes of season 1a, but you can't leave out Lion's introduction or Steven finding out Garnet has three eyes--stuff just wouldn't make sense.

I don't imagine I'd cut whole episodes. Maybe just retain certain scenes... I do think I'd cut Garnet's reveal, though. That was pretty anticlimactic.

>>233777
Garnet's Universe, if the rumors are true, contains a lot of preludes and hints to upcoming story threads, particularly that her two side kicks are actually hints at her pre-fusion gems. You could cut it easily but it may have more importance than people think.

>>233778
NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE, they are tied deeply to Steven's development.

the tall one, the purple one, the hot one..... lol so hard

>>233777
"Onion Trade" and "Beach Party" are the only episodes I can think of that don't contain character development for a main character, introduction of a concept important to the setting, major plot developments, or foreshadowing thereof. "Joking Victim" and "Steven and the Stevens" are close, because they just have the VCR Steven would use in "Lion 3" and the flash-forward to "Ocean Gem".

>Possibly Watermelon Steven (or whatever it was called), too.

That introduced Rose and Steven's ability to grow sentient plants. A lot of people theorize Rose used that to make Lion, and Steven using it at some later point seems inevitable.

>>233779
That seems a bit beyond the scope of just editing existing footage.

>>233783
Well its just an idea I'm experimenting with, so we'll see.

...Also
>The hot one.

whatahell is onion anyway ?
I bet is a rose mistake

>>233785
But that would mean he's older than Steven.

>>233790
I think he is a sentient plant and his father too, so they speak a language that only they understand.
I'm not so perceptive to these things as you guys, so it's only a guess

>>233784
Because the other two are the cute ones.

>>233780
>You could cut it easily but it may have more importance than people think.

Can't you see that my relationship is stable?
I can see you hate the way we intermingle.
But I think you're just mad cause you're single.
And you're not gonna stop what we made together.
We're gonna stay like this forever.
If you break us apart, we'll just come back newer.
And we'll always be twice the gem that you are.
I am made
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove.
Lo-o-o-o-ove.
Lo-o-o-o-ove.
Lo-o-o-o-ove.
Lo-o-o-o-ove.



Pearl: Okay ship, turn us around.
This is who we are.
This is who I am.
And if you think you can stop me, then you need to think again.
'Cause I am a feeling, and I will never end.
And I won't let you hurt my planet.
And I won't let you hurt my friends.
Go ahead and try to hit me if you're able.
Can't you see that my relationship is stable?
I know you think that I'm not something you're afraid of.
'Cause you think that you've seen what I'm made of.
But I am even more then the two of them.
Everything they care about is what I am.
I am their fury, I am their patience, I am a conversation.
I am made
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove.
Lo-o-o-o-ove.
And it's stronger than you.
O-o-o-o-of
L-o-o-o-ove.
L-o-o-o-ove.
And it's stronger than you.

Adorable couple.
I wonder if Saphire only has one eye.

>>233850
Chances are very high, though given the headband Ruby could have 3 eyes and Sapphire has none.

>>233847
Awesome.

>>233848
Can't unsee Richard Simmons Ruby.

It appears there are three diamonds in the great diamond authority, Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond and White Diamond as represented the "three triangle symbol" seen throughout the series and on the floor of the arena during during jailbreak, for the first time colored.

Oh hey. That was pretty cool.
I screwed it up for myself and saw them in the wrong order so I'm royally pissed off at myself for that but I still dug it.
I guess in the grand scheme of things there really is nothing in this show that isn't relevant in one way or another.

>>233846
Yeah Estelle is a more RnB singer while here they had her singin Sugar's "cute girl with ukelele" style of music only with a post-synthpop arrangement. Its a noteable mismatch but I still liked it.

Well now we know why the Garnet Amethyst fusion was so wild. Makes me wonder what a Pearl Garnet fusion would be like though.

If you've been following the show's ending theme (hard given it only airs on digital version and some reruns), you'll have noticed it changed for season 1b and started getting mixed up a lot.

Well for "Jail Break", the season 1a theme came back with a little something extra.

if this week was a way to apologize for the crime against humanity that is crossover between steven universe and uncle grandpa, they are forgiven

>>233876
ftm isn't out of the question.
nor is male presenting

>>233884
The only 'male' gem we know of is Steven. And he's half human.
I'm pretty sure the rest of them are going to be 'female'.

>>233885
Shh, you'll wake the SJWs.

>>233884
Actually both of those are totally out of the question, word of god from Sugar herself, only Steven is a male crystal gem.

>>233885
Oh.
Well thats ok then.

I'm not surprised some people would consider Jasper nonbinary tho. I mean, sure, even if she's female-presenting.

>>233892
That actually bothers me, tbh. Sugar flat out said that all the gems are what humans would consider female. As soon as one pops up that's strong mclargehuge people act like it's impossible to have buff ladies and that she MUST be a dude.

>>233894
Probably because the probability of encountering a buff lady of that stature is about 1% IRL.

>>233895
The probability of encountering a buff dude of that stature is also about 1% irl. What does that have to do with anything?

>>233884
Seeing as gems don't have a biological sex to begin with, even if they are capable of having nonbinary genders it doesn't necessarily make them trans either. Like, Stevonnie is probably nonbinary, but in a cis way, if that makes any sense. Maybe trans compared to the male and female components, but since they're a hermaphroditic being to begin with their body probably matches their gender identity, which would the definition of cis.

Also, fyi gender presentation =/= gender identity. I personally like to present as what most people consider androgynous or masculine, but I consider myself cis female and it's fucking infuriating when SJWs who already know how I identify seriously try to convince me that I'm actually a deeply closeted, self-hating trans man. Likewise my neutrois friend prefers to present as feminine in public even though they're considering top surgery.

/soapbox

>>233895
So? I'm pretty sure Holley Mangold, Carissa Gump, Cheryl Hayworth, and other athletes with similar builds still identify as female.

>>233894
Yeah, it's kind of infuriating how hypocritically sexist Tumblr's trans* community can be. For all their talk about promoting tolerance and social justice they sure seem eager to reinforce traditional gender stereotypes, like skirts, pink, and emotionality make you more feminine, even though those traits were historically considered a sign of masculinity in some cultures.

>>233899
Shit, didn't realize how harsh I came off. Didn't mean to condemn all of the Tumblr trans* community like that, just the tucutes and all the other windmill crusaders who like to spout off like they're experts on social issues they just recently found out about through the Internet.

>>233900
what's the * mean

>>233901
Wildcard character. Some people prefer the term transsexual over transgender and vice versa so it's a good compromise. Plus trans can be used as the same prefix for a bunch of other different gender identities. Some people don't like having that symbol there at all though so I don't know if I even should be using it or not.

>>233903
I...I-I don't know.
