thanks fam, this a leak?
welp, that was decent
inb4 wave of mystery girl R34
Already planning to draw her on monday
I just want to say I think the decision to draw pearl like bob was a good one
i feel a spurg moment coming
is this going to get Cringy?
man they I feel like they are pushing cause they are rocks so they can't have sex and etc because their rock but here have all these clear as day hints towards lesbian sex child sex etc.
nice gets
New girl looks like a DA reject
trump will win
fuck!
Hey Steven Universes,
If Steven is actually Rose Quartz does that mean it's okay to ship Steven and his dad?
Asking for a friend.
Hehehe
...
I don't even question it at this point, just fuck off and do it.
>Pearl has a crush
>On someone who looks a lot like Rose
>Gets her number at the end of the episode
This can only end badly.
God this is getting so bad, Its GOOD. Like not even in a so bad its good sort of way. Like masochism way.
This is my animated version of masochism. I LOVE IT.
It won't because 1: nothing bad ever happens to lesbians in SU and 2: The Crewniverse is scared of the tumblrspawn
ike how it has so much potential and then lets you down at every moment?
And 3. If she ever shows up again, it'll probably be at a season end.
I expected to hate this episode as much as the stevonnie episodes, but it was actually ok, and a lot less pozzed than I was bracing myself for
And that song was pretty kick ass, as far as generic bullshit goes
Don't say that
He'll come back
Eventually
Could have been worse. Could have been better.. Like being an episode that actually advances the plot, develops the characters, or does anything with Lapis, Peridot, Homeworld, or any of the other shit that they took 4 fucking seasons to establish.
I've given up on expecting story, and consigned myself to the months of filler we're doomed to get
At least it was about (formerly) best gem and not one of the townspeople nobody cares about
I hope someone here remembers me. Cause it's time for some greentext stories.
Hello anons, it's been a while. Any requests for old times sake?
Son of a bitch.
Crewniverse are probably secret DeweyxDeweyfags
They can alter their bodies to have functional human digestive systems, sex organs aren't a big stretch. Rose totally fucked men. Hell, she's the only Gem with tits.
Pearl's entire thing has been a lesbian bad things happen to tho
The show is clearly as much about character development and emotions as it is about space rock wars, has been from the word go.
Has someone drawn the mystery girl as white, thin, and blonde yet?
I bet you don't even think jasper is best gem
to the cross with you.
(checked)
But now if they don't give her a happy ending, tumblr with cry bloody murder
But it's not even tumblr, it's the punk shit that tumblr kept trying to be, they stole that style like gays stole the rainbow
And more than that, a tumblr character wouldn't be portrayed like that, she has fuck me eyes and a grand total of 0 spoken lines, she doesn't even have an actual name, and her entire role in the story(and the story itself) is everything SJWs hate, and the only reason they'll get away with it is because pearl doesn't have a dick that we know of
...
I have been known to stretch my sex organs.
Plus, she's physically fit (relatively), assertive, socialises with people, and rides a motorbike. She actually seems pretty different from Rose aside from the hair; less chub, more muscle. (though Rose was kinda ambiguous in her figure, given Gems don't really have or need muscles in the human sense)
I want mystery girl to ride my face
maybe gems have reproductive crises because all the ones we've seen except rose so far are either undecided or raging lesbians
It's kinda weird really, we've gotten so many shit filler episodes and seeing one that's just okay is kinda weird.
Though I am pissed that Pearl wants to impress Amethyst, seriously they've know each other for how many years now? Also I hate the fact that she just took interest in that girl because of her hair color and the fact that she's still thirsty for Rose.
But whatever the only good that's gonna come out of this is Mystery Girl porn.
No, but here's a quick and dirty edit.
Danke.
Wow, she's already more attractive.
I don't know user you tell me
...
naw m8, she wants gregs dick bigtime
Nah that was before. NOW it's about how how these characters become worse and worse as people and the show treats it as good because lesbians.
Like all these character tropes are things that tumblr would complain the hell about if they where not Lesbians.
So first of all Pearl shows interest in a girl because how much she looks like her dead obsessive crush.
This was after following a woman's cause only because she wanted to bang her, and not for anything else and considering she instantly wants to bang this other woman it was for looks only (And wanted to leave for gem world when her creepy crush was gone…Warfare smorfare. My crush is gone and I want to go back).
Holy shit, Pearl is an actual Tumblr "Nice Guy".
Yet the show continues to treat it as a good thing because lesbians.
I watch it like I watch a train derailing. But this train turns out to be filled with tigers. And now those tigers are attacking a village of people. And accidentally killed the damn coordinator. And now the damn has broken and kills everything…But now a electrical fire is triggered and knocks off electricity to half the state. And so fourth. Its like watching cthulu rise.
I have been driven MAD with its horrifying, and monstrous glory.
Yes user, that's what the quotes were for
...
...
...
I'm not going to argue that, tripsman, but we've had more than a few episodes already that can be boiled down to
It's a little played out.. Especially when the intent of episode seems to be LEEEEEEEESSSSBIAAAAAANSS!!! when, yet again, we already knew for a fact that Pearl had the hots for Rose.
Hate to say this but this didn't feel like a good episode.
Goddamnit Sugar.
If you couldn't tell, this obviously filler episode was another one of those "homages" that are actually just lazy references by writers who have no more fresh ideas, and not Serious Story and Character Development
Knowing this show?
Both Mystery Girl and Frowney will become prominent characters in the next season and end up fusing with Steven
You just stole my words from my mouth. Just pandery characters that nobody will remember.
Hey if they brought back Kevin for another episode about "Muh rape culture" then they'll bring this bitch back and have more scenes of Pearl making an ass of herself in front of her.
...
oh and
>alternatively her boyfriend is Greg and they've been seeing eachother unbeknownst to Steven/the CGs
...
...
Greg is best humie.
inb4 ??? is actually Pink Diamond
It's silly, but still has me wondering if a gem could be fooled by another gem pretending to be a human.
An actual full-price gem, not some discount ruby that's probably more powerless than an era 2 peridot
An homage to WHAT? I couldnt identify anything that looks like this.
The title was a song reference, but I don't get anything else
(confirm)
I bet my money on "Hipster Rock Movie Nobody Remembers".
I just wanted a cool Pearl that was in-character.
BOO ON YOU SIR
yes more attractive
I never noticed this until you pointed it out
I noticed this immediately and was incredibly unnerved by it but let it pass like most of the shit that is bullshit in this show just to allow the plot to advance
KEK
yar
it is pretty fun to watch in horror
Sorry Steven Universe, I know you are trying to sound like the Pillows here, but it still sucks and you suck and please die.
Fags like these never heard of Golgo 13 or Hokuto no Ken
oh boy now I can watch real anime instead of shitty pretend anime
Do you have any ideas of how spectacular this show could've been if it didn't have so much bullshit and actually had a focused plot?
tfw the human characters look less human than gems.
:SPOILER IF YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH INTERSTELLAR DO NOT WATCH THIS CLIP
or Akira or Ninja Scroll or Guyver or Wicked City or anything really good
just this episode alone could have been a thousand times better with better written dialogue, I wanted Pearl to say something cool for why she runs the red light something to give you chills like that moment in Interstellar with that line he dropps before he guns it to dock, "No, it's nessicary," instead we get that shit line and all that build up turns into disappointment
fucking libs can't write cool lines for shit
Jesus Christ what's wrong with that girl on the left's face? Also, I'm surprised su actually showed a girl with tits for once
Beach City needs to burn to ashes
They all look like mutants
I think that was Ocean Town, which WAS burning actually.
yeah jellybean face in the middle is kinda cute
Isn't it the director or other higher-ups job to oversee every aspect of episode production? Guess we know for sure where their priorities lie, *or maybe their standards are non-existent.*
I saw a post in the last thread about how a Homeworld-worshiping cult would've served as antagonists to the CGs while Homeworld was recovering. I feel like the show needed an opposing force to give Earth more depth, the story more tension and a reason for us to care about the characters. BUT NO. Humans can only be segregated in one plotline while the gems stay segregated in the other, besides this episode. Nice writing, Sugar.
Ideally this would either be the job of head of animation, director of photography, or head of storyboarding.
But the animation has long since been done by Koreans so the ability to get timely changes is nonexistant. The head of storyboarding clearly doesn't do their job because no characters can stay on model. They should BOTH be reporting to the DP but obviously that guy is MIA except in the credits.
That second girl on the left reminds me of that male OC that's Pearl Boyfriend
The Crewniverse doesn't understand that the main demo is supposed to be children, not twentysomethings
No they really do. When your only merch is sold at Hot Topic who do you THINK is the Target Demo?
Tumblrite Manchildren is the obvious answer.
Who knows what it's supposed to be specifically, but "awkward nerd goes on road trip/quest to be cool and ends up accepting themselves and maybe being a little cool" is practically an entire genre of movie
Add in that really specific kind of music and the episode becomes the cartoon version of that word that's on the tip of your tongue but no matter how hard you try to remember you can't place what it is
Mah nigga!
Holy shit that sounds cool. Did someone mean "it would have been cool if" or "it was planned"? Do you have a link to the post/thread or is it kill already?
I wrote "worship" with "wh".
Or Angel Cop, or Genocyber, or Mad Bull 34.
That sir is totally inaccurate!
They also watched Pokémon, One Piece and Revolutionary Girl Utena
Like many people have said, this show needs non-homeworld Gem villains (like artificial Gems created by the military/a scientist with a beef with the Crystal Gems)
Obligatory
So they watch shit then…
They also like to ruin perfectly good shit, like initial D
a (((jew)))?
...
To show lacks steady escalation, much to it's detriment. Hell, you wouldn't have to adjust the progress the show already has much. Something like
could work great.
Because there's no pink hair
What's so great about that shit anyways ?
The OVA was on late and night when I was a kid
Gold and Silver terrified me.
Really? Not this creepy motherfucker?
He reminded me of Jim Carey.
Or even this creepy Pronoun…
That's less a homage and more a formula.
The T-shirt episode had a Golgo 13 reference.
Pic of reference
Artist self insert
Shit like the oddly specific episode outro makes me like 90% sure it be referencing something in particular
It's basically a coming-of-age movie except with (space rock) lesbians.
Actually kinda funny that Steven is basically "It's kind of messed up that you're going after a human because she looks like my dead mom and got in a police chase on the way there, but hell, it's still a step forward, so I'll take the win."
Also, Greg's car seems to be used for nothing but crimes by unlicensed drivers. Also, Pearl is a pro driver.
It really ISN'T a step forward. This show keeps selling it as a step forward when it frankly fucking ISN'T.
This show…It's just so goddam abominably bad. I have seen bad shows that step on rakes and end up slapping themselves in the face…But this show just does it over and over, more and more aggressively and INSISTS that it knows what its doing.
Like at what point does the bottom fall out? That this hatefilled abomination just explodes or goes on a rampage in Tokeyo City?
Implied lesbianism
...
Like I said, this is what happens when you get hipsters to write anything because they don't think their actions have any consequences and that they can't be racist because in their mind racism equals power plus privilege.
If anything this episode showed that Pearl was still a wreck who refuses to let go of the fucking past and move on with her life. And what's funny is that like another user said, if Pearl wasn't a "lesbian" then Tumblr would have flipped their shit over this episode because she is the creepy ex who still hasn't moved on.
Seriously how can anybody look at this show and say it has good writing? Because the writing on this show is the worst writing I've seen in a LONG time.
But I guess casual fag's standards are that low that they consider shit like this to be well written.
Im that annon. Im also the annon that made that massive post years ago about how Steven is a bad kid but represents what "Good Kids" act like for bad people.
Almost every character in this show is in competition to see who is "Worst Gem/ Human". The only thing it takes is usually just a showcase episode for them to get in the lead.
Its like THIS but with every Step Bob says "No! I read in a book somewhere that hitting your face is how the ancient incas practiced plastic surgery!"
Well, even without pearl's pre-existing baggage, they would have flipped their shit because the story is everything people like anita sarkeesian & co. rail against
They "objectified" the FUCK out of mystery girl
I know! These idiots flip their shit over fucking Batgirl in The Killing Joke asking why she couldn't be the main focus of the story and yet they've totally okay with SU using a female character as a prop.
Guys. Guys, guys.
Lesbians.
If you slap anything LGBTHIJKLMNOP on your work, you can never go wrong!
Jasper is correct. Fusion IS this shows ONLY claim to fame. And despite ramping it the fuck up, this show still doesn't have ratings as good as it had them during Season 1.
This is just basic appeal to its main target demographic. Its doing what it can before some other show about Trans people or something doesn't rob them of their viewers.
Well yeah obviously, they're hypocrites
Isn't steven technically trans already
Well shit, I say technically, but that's actually a legitimate biological sexual transition
Gems are too stupid to realize he's not Rose but as far as I remember he doesn't really have any identity issues of his own
Maybe if he grows psychologically dependent on fusing into Stevonnie or wants to be a girl at all times
He needs to crossdress some more. Also he as a kid should have had sexual interest in boys. BIG misstep there. Probably in other Trans Boys.
I also love that everything in SU exists in a state of NON-flux. See their FUSIONS, and Not lesbians.
And Stevens Crossdressing was just a joke! Even though it wasn't framed or executed like a joke. Like I KNOW drag jokes, and this show would be dragged into an alley and beaten with lead pipes by their fanbase if they did a genuine drag joke.
It's the Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations.
The one where Steven's firing the T-shirt cannon at the mayor, wearing sunglasses for no particular reason.
The fanbase flipped its shit over that and Bismuth. But much like you, no matter how mad they are they keep watching.
In CN's eyes it's still for kids
So the only reason why Pearl has a thing for S is because she looks like Rose Quartz?
I'm not even going to comment on how everything Pearl does with Pinko would be condemned if it were a man doing it - because that's been Pearl's M.O. for the whole series and it's never going to change.
Whose bright idea was it to have the most important conversation happen offscreen? That was fucking ridiculous. I know full well why they did it (they haven't decided on a VA yet or aren't sure if Pinko is going to reappear at all) but climactic events don't happen where we can't see or hear them. Show, don't tell, assholes. This is basic shit.
The conversation about not having a driver's license pretty much confirms what we thought: there's no official recognition that there are ayylmaos living on Earth, despite their technicolor asses walking around in plain sight for thousands of years and making zero effort to keep their origins secret. Okay, that's not quite fair, they put up a shitty fence around their gigantic Gem temple at one point. Nailed it.
So yeah, pretty shit ep but Pearl being neurotic was funny as usual. 5/10 at best.
Oh, and one more thing… why did they need to drive there at all when Amethyst can turn into a goddamn helicopter?
I guess they won't touch the subject of what is the actual knowledge of humans about Gems. Maybe there are actual alien forces controlling governments and population? Maybe Pink Diamond isn't dead and she became the shadow president of the world?
Who am I kidding? it's just that the writers are lazy and have the same problem most people have when trying to use supernatural stuff for regular normal settings and makes humans all retarded by default.
I'd also like to add that Mystery Girl is a complete fucking non character to begin with, she's just there to give Pearl a reason to act like a fucking idiot throughout the episode and every human on this show has been written like a useless twat so it doesn't really surprise me that they don't ask common questions like "Why is your skin color purple?".
Also this show sucks ass when it comes to continuity, Amethyst could have shape shifted into a car or plane and they would have been there in five minutes, yet of course we need to create forced conflict so everything has to be ignored for random plot point of the week.
Can you do one with brown hair?
It's only merchandise is sold at hot topic.
They know.
I'm honestly not sure, as religion of any kind is a controversial topic that isn't featured in animation.
Here you go. It's pretty convincing the more you think about.
This other villain concept's also worth looking into.
There IS already tranny R34 of mystery girl.
...
Link?
Don't remember, just found it idling through porn.
Sure.
god damn son
HOLY SHIT IT WAS THE SKIN TONE ALL ALONG
hey, hey I just had an idea
Why does she look so much better without pink hair? I mean she still isn't a 10/10 but she's easier to look at.
look closely, her skin has changed too
You're saying that as if Pearl didn't actually bang her. Chances are Pearl was Rose's fusionsock.
I'm retarded, so please, explain further.
fantastic
what I'm getting at is, if you think you can manage it, switch the logo on her helmet with the British fascist "flash and circle"
it will be good material for fucking with tumblr and general bantz
Exploitables?
oh hell yeah
oh, and it will look good
very nice
They did fuse. Im saying that this makes her a "Nice Guy" since she doesn't care about the cause that she apparently rallies behind but the hope to fuck rose.
No, I think it's the contrast with the pink hair. Generally speaking, unless you know what you are doing, using a clear colour on a somewhat tan character's hair is a bad idea. Obviously, these people don't know what the fuck they are doing.
If somebody is feeling like it, try to make the girl's skin darker, but keep the pink hair. Then try to change the girl's hair to something else, preferably of a darker tone than the original skin tone. It will probably look much better.
Basically, what's happening here is that the girl has a low-saturation dark skin color (may have to do with illumination). You are trying to mix a meek color with a pastel color, and that's a bad idea. Give the girl some character and decide on stronger colors, specially for the hair. Mixing a shiny saturated pink with a dark color (best one is 100% black) makes for a good color scheme.
Rate my edit
ok/10
then we obviously need unchanged skin versions with the different hair for comparison
8/10
Yeah. The current skin color may work, but I personally think it's bad for combinations. It's as if she was pale, but tan at the same time, you know? Like she was a black vampire with anemia.
wut
OH FUG SCHOOL SHOOTING OUT OF 10!
I can't find this pic anywhere but SU Wikia, but it suggests she's not a nigger or even a mulatto to me.
also it seems like tumblr is already 100% sure she's a fucking tranny
Someone edit her to be skinny.
just a feminie chin would be a start
With Rebecca Sugar telling the story and doing the designs they are probably right.
Chances are she is just a bit tan/sunburnt, considering the type of girl she is. That picture near the top of the thread just looks darker due to the moon light.
She looks Caucasian (except for her lips)
But doesn't that make Pearl Hetero?
And give her lips that are actually appealing
I tried to redo the proportions but it didn't come out right
Araki would be proud
quick sketch and even quicker colors.
Haven't watched SU in over a year, so I don't know who this chick is, but I saw her in this thread and had to heed the call to make her skinnier.
Thoughts?
May I say in my defense, I did this in a minute.
welp, time somebody posts this to tumblr. Good job.
I can't tell if you've edited this or not, too subtle
Actually, without the Jinx lips, this may have been alright.
Hey, gotta trigger them tumblrites.
Thanks a million to this
user that provided the exploitable.
Not a problem my friend. Have another fresh exploitable.
I recognize this style
Where do I know you from?
Back to /sugen/, smoky
Flintstones thread on /co?
...
(checked)
Thanks.
My creation is finished.
Rate it Holla Forums.
It goes without saying that anyone is free to use it against tumblr.
...
The girl should have been redd-er.
Good job (Lips and eyes are unappealing, but that's personal taste)
And it seems literally just because they want a progressive quota/she's a butch woman, therefore MOST be a tranny, right?
Tumblr is worse than Holla Forums sometimes.
Kind of hilarious that the self-entitled bastions of tolerance and diversity would automatically assume that a woman built like a brick shithouse has to have a dick
Well another problem is that the character is FREAKISHLY huge. I know that their bodies (And therefore drawing consistency effort) is an illusion, but she would be about Garnets Size. At that size the woman would look more like a straw and would be in pain.
But it does remind me. This show is so smug about how their bodies are an illusion, despite the fact that there is an "Base" shape, and transformation is something they do for fun, and not something unlimited.
More potential this show failed at.
But only the gems bodies are an illusion
Mistree grill is a human
Also giant bitches are a national treasure, and should not be subjected to shitty real world human biology
How exactly would the make the character look like Rose without making her fit most of those requirements?
Also what should a character wear at a concert tat does not look "hipsterish"?
I mean it's not like the character in the show was wearing problem glasses and unfuckable librarian tier clothing that sjw's gravitate to nor did she have a skrylex cut.
If that's true she's a cheating whore and he should dump her ASAP
...
Even greg's superhuman moves have their limit, and an annoying green dorito woman acting as a constant third wheel is pretty high up on the list of shit that will stop you from getting laid
Even if she knew about it and wanted it to happen, she's made of spaghetti, "HEY I'M DOING A SCHOOL PROJECT CAN I WATCH YOU GUYS FUCK AND TAKE NOTES" is the exact opposite of a good pickup line
Maybe they're in an open relationship
But Pearl isn't a huge black guy though
very nice
Very nice
nice mister popo fanart but this is a steven universe thread
I don't know what I expected
What sort of potential were you looking for in the gems' shapeshifting?
Not him but probably defining what the hell the upper limit is for shapeshifting as well as being inconsistent about how real each gem's form is. Steven became a cat-amalgamate by accident with no real repercussions and Amethyst can become a friggin helicopter while Rose Quartz shapeshifting a human reproductive system (an overall minor addition to her anatomy) did her in from the stress of maintaining it for nine months.
How does this make you feel
I turned this song into a wembo for no other reason than to make this joke
Sorry, rabbi.
Not shapeshifting. Projections. To me that implies that they mainly adapt to circumstance. That gems on other planets could be more monsterlike, or maybe the more emotionless the gem is the more they just change to primal shapes. Like The Diamond could have just been hovering pyramids or something to represent how above emotion or connection they are. Like that when I first saw peridot I thought it represented efficiency over aesthetics. That her hair was just a solid chunk for example.
But the problem with that is that it would make them truly genderless and not lesbians. So they had to axe that.
Yep, this is why the genderless argument is so fucking stupid. Because all these gems take female form and never male form. It's the same problem TNG had with the Q's most of them took the forms of men and acted like men so the idea that they're this race of all powerful genderless beings was complete shit.
You know, watching this episode made me of how underutilized and cast to the side humanity is. There's a feeling of disappointment I get whenever there's a human episode. Steven Universe is a show that's half imitation anime and half cheaply made CN slice of life bullshit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sugar said it herself that she wanted to have a world where the mundane and the magical were separated. Keeping the only two kinds of sentient species in different plotlines dehumanizes the Earth, because there's no depth when we don't get humanity's opinions on humans. The show may as well tell us that most of humanity's been destroyed and the East Coast of the US is the only place where they can live. I mean, if you're not going to do anything with humans, you might as well not have featured them at all.
That's another thing I've noticed, everytime we get a filler episode with humans they're always written as bland idiots who don't ask any questions about the weird shit that's going on and the Gems make no effort to hide any of their activities.
So you have this weird environment of dumb as shit human characters who's problems are such a non fucking issue that wasting an entire episode on them feels like padding at it's worst and non character plot devices like that Mystery Girl, who as everyone already mentioned only existed to make Pearl act like a complete fucking idiot.
you're pretty much alone in this, because most of the people around here who watch this show think that there is too much human shit, and the show should be 100% about gem stuff.
Did you screencap that post?
Guys, riddle me this
How can rocks fuse. What does this fusion make out of itself, is it like a symbiosis, a mashup of their chemical formulas?
Do minerals like ruby or amber or moonstone or whatever exist naturally in space?
What differs the "bodyless" minerals from the minerals-women aliens? Why are some gemstones "liveless" and can be used in say jewelry and some form human shapes? Are the topaz ornaments on my ring Gem shards or just inanimate rocks that have no context to the alien rock species?
When a pearl is not a gem, why is Pearl a Gem?
A lot of it makes sense with the theory that Gems, specifically the core Gems themselves, are basically solid state hard-drives/CPUs that project hard-light hologram bodies to carry them around, and Gems themselves are more or less equivalent to highly advanced AIs.
They're artificially created beings that don't reproduce in any remotely biological fashion (Rose had to imitate human organs to conceive Steven, and even then I'm pretty sure he's essentially a clone of Greg aside from his Gem), they can be contained in standby mode, plugged into devices as living CPUs (which is p fucked up) and even when shattered the shards retain some semblance of their knowledge and forms.
Gems from space aren't really anything like what humans call gems. (the average Gem is waaaay bigger than the largest earth gemstone, for one) Though it seems implied there's some resemblance, it's mostly just an arbitrary motif and naming scheme, don't go too crazy over it. It's the same as naming Transformers after random mechanical things.
Thank you, this makes much more sense. Then I don't understand why the creators didn't name the aliens after flowers or some shit.
The thing is I'm kinda a sucker for minerals and only when I heard that the show features rock women was when it caught my interest. Oh well
get the fuck out of here
I don't know how we've gone this long without this, but also I can't edit so here's just an idea post
polite sage.
Because then people would be autistic over what flowers they are.
I don't think your right. There is too much bullshit in the show, but the argument is that there would be less bullshit if the two worlds were just integrated properly.
Fuck you, Sugar.
No, I meant these fascinating alternative ideas for humans in the show. It's worth the read.
...
To be honest, the most glaring problem with this show is what they didn't do.
You know there's a major problem with a fantasy setting when we know more about the fantasy world (Homeworld) than the "normal" world. And in this case, it's humanity's relationship to the gems other than being garbage townies who do nothing to advance the plot, and even they don't give us any hints. On one hand, the gems are rarely respected by the townies, and are even held in contempt despite being the equivalent of space Jesus. And on the other, humanity doesn't interfere with any of the gem related events. The writers can't decide what the gem-human relationship is, so they forget about it, perhaps forever.
Say what you want about the SJW pandering, Townieshit, and characters and plotlines with wasted potential, but the shittiest problem of them all is that the writers fail even at worldbuilding the normal world
.
What if there was a human cult akin to SCP's Church of the Broken God that worshiped the gems as gods, and believed that organic life was worthless so they strived to become gems and became a major threat? They would collect gem artefacts, utilize gem weapons for their own gain, antagonize the Crystal Gems even on their missions, and become a menace to Beach City's citizens, especially Steven's dad. And while Homeworld was setting its eyes on Earth again, the Crystal Gems would have to fight against the people they swore to protect who want to shatter them. What would they do about an enemy that couldn't be bubbled? The previous seasons felt empty because there was barely a reason to care about the story outside of the gems' inner conflicts. An antagonistic force like a cult of humans would've been fascinating and would've made gemkind's impact on Earth have more depth, instead of having the only opinions of gems reserved for the main characters. It would've introduced us to important elements like the diamonds and give us more of a reason to see the main cast rise up and conquer other than their inner conflicts, because what better way to see the gems work together and solve their inner darkness as a family and team than a powerful antagonistic force? It could lead the Crystal Gems to question if they humanity is even worth protecting if it wants to essentially destroy itself. The CGs may have protected the Earth from gem-related threats, but the only threat they can't protect humanity from is humanity itself.
But this intriguing aspect is unlikely to ever be explored. And the saddest thing is, this show has given us all the necessary ingredients for a cult like this to form:
- Gem-obsessed nuts like Ronaldo.
- A little boy using a gem tool that almost kicked the Crystal Gems asses.
- A book containing fascinating information on gems.
- The implication of the danger of humans using gem weapons.
- Pearl's quote about humans wanting to be apart of something bigger to not feel meaningless.
- The mystery and allure surrounding the gems' involvement on Earth.
Something tells me the writers had plans for human antagonists like this, but dropped it because they either interfered with Steven's "development" or couldn't feature them because of Standards and Practices. I don't know which reason is worse, but then again. When has a cult ever been featured in a "Kids" show since the 90’s?
When people ask "what's wrong with tumblr?" This. This shit is what's wrong with tumblr.
They are joyless, humorless, stubborn cunts who ruin every fucking thing they touch.
Oh, this is amazing. This petty shit fit sustains me.
I always wonder about who these people are.
Mostly their ages and socioeconomic background.
Because from what I've seen when this information is available, it's usually middle class to rich teenagers to young adults trying to seem intellectual and have some form of conflict in their goal-less lives.
This usually ends either with them learning how the real world works and turning into functioning people, or if that doesn't happen, they keep leeching from their folks for and undetermined period of time, ruining everything their parents and grandparents built.
This is why educating your kids at home is important, so they're protected against school and media brainwashing.
Ding ding. There's one or two 30+ year olds that show the same behavior on the site as well but opinion on them varies from validation ("adults think like this too so I'm correct") to thinking they're fucking creepy due to their age.
It's pretty much 100% rich or sheltered teenagers. They don't grow out of it.
Sadly, I think it's a direct byproduct of being raised by over-conservative parents. If any one teenager feels like their conservative, religious, heterosexual parents are too controlling, they're super likely to be liberal, anti-theistic, and gay as fuck. Usually this goes on sub-consciously, however, so the affected teen thinks these are natural thoughts and behaviors as opposed to simple petty rebellion.
That's the keyword. Their richness does not matter, as long as they get exposed to the outside world.
Fucking lmao. Did these babies not notice that Pearl already got ruthlessly cockblocked by a straight white male? If lesbo relationships are so sacred Steven shouldn't exist.
Boring surburban teens with little sense of identity and too much time/disposable income on their hands.
Social media was a mistake.
It really, really was.
One I don't think society will ever recover from.
were here forever after all
Oh wow Tumblr losing their shit over SU fanart.
In other news water is wet.
I swear, some of these chodes are unable to communicate with anything besides sassy gifs
Now that I think about this, the fact that nobody takes much notice of gem magic stuff stands out a lot. In fact, it seems too conspicuous to not have an in-universe explanation.
I mean in old PPG for example you could take constant monster attacks in stride because nearly everything has a layer of nonsense to it. But here it seems they're trying to make everything fit together and hand-waving human apathy doesn't fly.
I mean, corrupt gems never seem to wander into beach city on their way to the temple, which is apparently like a magnet for them.
So now I can't not Headcannon that there's some kind of corrupt gem repellent under where beach city is built and that there's some kind of "somebody else's problem" field around all the gem weirdness.
holy shit i havent been to this place in years, it's so dead. just checked /sugen/ too, it's atleast getting more posts than this
Or it could be just a massive handwave since Sugar's too lazy to tell us information we should already know by now. Hell, we know more about Homeworld than Earth for crying out loud.
/sugen/ is namefag and tripfag central. Also, it's basically a halfchan beachhead - 90% of the users crossboard with 4chan, and "hide" on /sugen/ whenever SU generals get banned on 4/co/.
So what did everyone think of Buddy's Book? It reminded me of how much potential was lost when they decided to have humans do fuckall.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Steven, did I ever tell you about Bismuth?
Yes, she and I fought side-by-side with your mother in the effort against Homeworld. Many of our weapons were her creation, in fact, perhaps the most impressive of them being this big unwieldy pile bunker that shoots spikes capable of shattering a gem, which is exactly what she planned on doing to anyone who stood in our way. Your mother, being the understanding and all-compassionate being she is, poofed and bubbled her in the midst of an emotionally-driven argument over the weapon and what it stands for.
She was a good friend.
I can't believe people still use this meme.
I mean, it checks out, but its still an old meme.
The new SW came out relatively recently and that didnothing but retread olf ground and give us the gem that was the electroshock baton stormtrooper so of course theold memes too are being revisited
Is punk even considered a counter culture anymore?
No.
Let me not mar that perfect Dream
By an Auroral stain
But so adjust my daily Night
That it may come again.
I've been watching the earlier episodes and they're way more boring than I remembered. It was just monster of the week and steven's voice was a million times more grating than what it is now. The animation was off model half the time. Did they change studios for animation or did their budget increase?
my sisters made me watch a few episodes of this show with them, it was alright.
raine dog
Have your sisters tried to fuse yet?
And now it's human issue of the week. Also, technically the show always had the slightest hints at an overarching plot
the voice actor matured, it happens
it still is, only now it looks more bearable when it goes off model. The show has three dozen storyboarders, who were all completely inexperienced at the time. It has nothing to do with the actual animation studio or their budget.
It's hit or miss but I still like the townspeople more than these corrupted gems.
mega.nz
new episodes, fagglets.
Have fun yelling "Steven, would you just shut the fuck up, you're ruining the entire episode again" for 10 minutes
...
that episode was terrible
We've hit filler levels that should not be scientifically possible.
Although Steven himself was the worst part of the entire episode just like every episode, it's understandable that he was constantly talking, for the benefit of the viewer, since he was the only character featured in the episode whose vocabulary extended beyond his own name.
Sure, they could have experimented with a dialogue-less episode, or at least one where Steven kept his mouth shut some of the time and let the viewer infer what was going on without a fucking running commentary, but what did you expect? It's a Steven Universe episode; it was never going to be really good or anything.
New
Haven't laughed so hard in while
...
It would've been fine if Steven shut the fuck up once in a while. The shit with Onion's friends was refreshing, and even a toddler could understand it. A straightforward episode about friends hanging out would've been a nice change of pace, but nope, we need Steven "narrating" everything before some nice projection.
you know, if he was narrating everything in the same style as at the beginning/end of the episode, it would have been better.
I was most annoyed when he was asking stupid questions and casually commenting on everything
You've got a point there. The beginning/end style narration would've added some spice.
The writers must think the audience is as fucking stupid as Steven is.
He literally thought that the bean kid actually died and had to be nudged by Onion.
He's a fucking dumbass and so are the writers.
Yellowtail is having Vidalia paint him like one of her Gem girls.
Anyone here got any Steven Universe improvement ideas?
A way to improve the show is by canceling it.
Remove Connie.
Get a good voice actress for Garnet.
That's literally all I need and I would have no issues with it; I could tolerate the shit writing.
Less anime references/homages/blatant ripoffs. More plot development.
Still got the looming threat of that place called Homeworld somewhere out there, but here's Pearl getting busy trying to prove she's not a stick in the mud by speeding around chasing some rebellious notRose on the road to a house party. Shit.
That's the shit I like, personally. The MUH BIG LORE stuff comes off as pretentious a lot of the time. Slice of Life is my favorite genre though so I don't have a leg to stand on in that regard
ban /sueg/ and go back to /sugen/
Was funny that in the end, Steven realises he's on the receiving end of pity and charity in the guise of giving it. Which is funny given that he did almost the exact same thing in The Test.
I think they were going for something with the episode subtext; like the bug race and giving him the mallet to smash the beetle; almost seemed like Onion and the gang were testing Steven to see how far he would go along with them. Which miiight be foreshadowing the circumstances around smashing Pink Diamond, or something along those lines… (At least I damn hope it'd be, feels like they're trying to make two shows at once with how little the human and gem plots intermingle, even though it's so much fun when they do)
Also, Garnet giving the thumbs up to the kids in a trench coat was one of those great moments.
Yeah, "intermingle" and take advantage of the world to show us the gem-human relationship. Can you imagine if there was a gem worshiping cult that became antagonists to the CGs while Homeworld was gone? They'd probably see through the facade that the Crystal Gems don't really care about Earth, just their own selfishness. And don't get me started on the moral dilemma the CGs would have to face if they were fighting humans who want them shattered.
The cult thing's come up a lot, I think it'd be more interesting to deal with humans using/trying to reverse-engineer Gem technology, or wanting to weaponise Gems.
Or maybe a Homeworld agent arriving publicly with overtures of peace towards humanity that are definitely not genuine.
FUCK THIS EPISODE
Gahahaha
Oh man, fucking SJWs. I hate them, but at the same time I fucking love them for how much they make me laugh.
Actually, I can totally picture one of Blue Diamond's diplomats coming down claiming that Homeworld is totally cool with humans, if they just hand over the intergalactic war criminals called the Crystal Gems… or open themselves up to travel and communication with Homeworld who will totally trade them technology and the secrets to space travel.
(Of course, the subtext there might be fun)
Isn't this every new episode? The writers find ways to ruin good characters for the sake of feels?
It shouldn't be surprising and yet I feel revulsion every time it happens.
...
Take Steven Universe and replace everyone with the cast of Home Improvement
Universe Improvement?
Would that make Tim… Pearl, totally Pearl, because everything backfires hilariously. Al is Garnet.
Who's the neighbour?
>Gems overall come off as more alien, so Garnet is no longer just a black/red woman with desexualized features, Amethyst isn't simply a purple midget, and Pearl has a bigger nose can look the same, she's already ultra lanky
>Introduce human characters who are clearly affected by the existence of Gems one way or another, both positivelyGREG THE GEM GIGOLO and negatively(Such as Gem cultists, anti-Gem groups, poachers of corrupted gems, mad scientists who see them as machines more than living organisms, etc.), along with Gems who either respect or wish to rule/destroy mankind(Homeworld military remnants who want to make a power grab, Pink Diamond's surviving subordinates who are trying to repair or remake Pink Diamond, or spread propaganda about her return, as well as a secret extra loyal Homeworld group who is influencing Mankind's space technology developments to find a way to reach Homeworld and save Earth's colonies.)
>Peridot retains her original personalityand keeps or remakes her limb enhancers, making her reformation into a Crystal Gem more difficult but also more satisfying instead of turning her into a green cat with dorito hair
>An entire episode in which Steven realizes that he has a fetish for women who are taller than him, and a mischievous side, using his powers for pranks and sexual purposes, like as triggering the audience by making Watermelon Garnets, helping Sadie rape Lars, cucking Pearl, using his semen instead of his spit to heal and repair things, and anything involving Amethyst
Surely that's too far. Even for this show right?
...
Anyone got thiswillwork.flac?
An interesting idea would be to have the cult's leaders be remnants of a group of humans conscripts who were biologically enhanced by Homeworld to fight the rebellion to traumatize them, as they swore to protect all humans. After the war, they pretended to be the Diamonds' chosen ones and collect and reverse-engineer gem technology to defeat the Crystal Gems and contact Homeworld to become gems themselves and dedicate their lives to the Diamonds. Almost like the Covenant from Halo. Imagine if in the five millennia after the war, the Crystal Gems would have to fight a new one, this time against the ones they swore to protect.
Its been 5000 years. Unless a massive amount of insular cultists survived the war, they'd have been bred out long ago.
...
They wouldn't all be transhumans, just the leaders who would be immortal. The other cultists would be regular humans who'd go on to have descendants who are indoctrinated into the cult at early ages, thereby having a steady flow of followers at all times.
Holee fuck steven's IQ fluctuates so much in this last episode.
At the beginning when onions friends crash he has room temperature IQ, but when onion's friends are leaving he becomes a genius who can understand every thing they're talking about.
Fucking amazing user.
...
I personally see it as "This kind of shit has been happening since the dawn of Man"
People dont care about the Gems because for the last 5000 years these magical ladies have been wandering around and getting to know the humans, killing monsters and shit. Its like being curious about a mountain After ever getting to the top; hell, the only thing they're not older than is geology.
I just remembered that Yellow diamond still has absolutely no clue that the crystal gems are still alive. She has been sitting in her lounge chair ever since her one appearance thinking "The hell is taking Jasper so long to get back?" She probably thinks Peridot died when the diamond communications device self destructed. This show will have no villain until the Rubies are done slowly drifting threw space all the way back to home world.
They say that the villain is often a show's best aspect. Yellow Diamond is this show's villain.
Shows the quality of work they have here at SU.
Kill yourself
Non Arguments HOOOOOOOO!
Well It must be nice to have such low standards though.
Nah.
Someone post the pic of Pearl and some hard-to-discern character slaughtering Holla Forumscksuckers
The cult idea is too brutal for what is still a show for western children
Cubic Zirconias: Artificial Crystal Gems created by the government (as a failsafe if Rose Quartz goes rouge or fails to protect earth from the Diamonds) or a human scientist with a grudge against the Crystal Gems (Becky has stolen a few plot points from anime, what's another one?)
Opal best, forever.
There's no such thing as content too brutal for kids. You can show any horrid thing to a child as long as you help them understand what it means in what context, which can help them make better decisions by realizing their mortality and cultivating their minds. With that being said, picture this:
>After the Corrupting Light, the remaining Transhumans took it as a sign from the Diamonds and left for civilization. Claiming to be the children of the Diamonds, they form an alliance with the humans: Heaven's Light in honour of the light that wiped out most of the Rebellion. Worshipping the Diamonds as goddesses, their goal is to eliminate the Crystal Gems, who they see as the fallen, and contact Homeworld to bring about an apotheosis which would turn every human in to a gem to dedicate their lives to a higher cause and achieve true meaning in life. In their quest for salvation, they collect gem technology to wage war on heretics and the Crystal Gems, and modify themselves to mould themselves in the gems' image, with questionable results. Despite their reverence for gemkind, they have no qualms about unethically experimenting and torturing any gems they can find and especially sentient ones, such as Lapis, who they see as a wealth of information. They were eventually defeated by the Crystal Gems and humans, and went into hiding. That was until Steven was born. With their biggest threat, Rose Quartz seemingly dead, the Light viewed as an opportunity to continue their quest for salvation at any cost.
Wouldn't they be fascinated by the nature and abundance of gem technology, and form a religion around it?
I think we all got cucked by the filler. If you have a spare eleven minutes, please check out this video on that matter.
haha, come on now we all know that everyone's watching steven universe to watch the whacky (mis)adventures of onion and other unimportant townspeople
Rate my shitty webm.
Yeah, it's not like we have to worry about the evil aliens who are gonna invade the planet to look for the search party they sent. Oh wait.
...
also pretty good
Who is who?
I mean, pretty sure Holla Forums ain't dogfuckers, though that would explain the existence and popularity of /furry/.
I really think this should be dubbed over with stuff from the MK deception intro
that or something like the DIO OBA HEBEN fight from Eyes of Heaven
if it's taken fully out of context, Holla Forums just shrugs off tumblrs shit
...
the jewes maded this didn't she
why this board it's so slow?
*this board is
fuck me
it's "why IS this board so slow"
you fucking ESL NIGGER
Becuase fast you go
...
where is todays cancer
Next thread
...
This is such a cute pic but it makes me sad that Connie exists. She doesn't deserve fanart, and the fact that she's taking Peridot's potential place in a game of chess against Steven is filthy.
end it
How is this shit different from your shit, again?
Steven Universe tends to be more subtle with its cuckery.
