2025-03-27 19:07:10 +0000 UTCSteven universe is all hand animated, and they had various storyboard artists working on various episodes, so theres definitely a consistency problem with the character models, each storyboard artist ends up leaning into their own personal style, if you look up some storyboard artists comparisons youll see what i mean ^_^ Its a worthy criticism i wont deny that, but i kinda like it xD

2025-03-22 21:32:17 +0000 UTCIf you notice pink yellow and blue are closer to cyan magenta yellow which combine to white. Hence white diamond is a fusion of all 3 other gems. After pink was destroyed they couldn’t form white. Which is why you only hear of yellow and blue.

2025-03-19 12:42:56 +0000 UTCi meant she that’s mb

2025-03-18 06:27:10 +0000 UTCBasically the same thing tbh, she corrupted herself by fusing with a corrupted gem
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-18 06:07:26 +0000 UTCCorruption is like an infection, jasper fused with an ill gem and become ill herself
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-18 06:05:56 +0000 UTCIf that *was* the case fusions like steg would be incredibly messed up. fusion is an analogy for a relationship, friendship, romantic, platonic ect are all types of relationships
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-18 06:05:13 +0000 UTC*she, all gems use she/her
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-18 06:02:37 +0000 UTCso the reason jasper got corrupted is cuz he fused with a corrupted gem
TotalWr3ck
2025-03-18 05:54:37 +0000 UTCWhich are the next episodes?

2025-03-17 17:32:08 +0000 UTCThis episode really encapsulates why so many fans love Peridot and Lapis so much. Peridot's a bean and Lapis is a mood.

2025-03-17 02:20:28 +0000 UTC5:47 - The alien's stuffing is coming out of the neck in the water tank. That is because that is where the bow Peridot was wearing came from. :) She ripped it off of the alien plushie she won

2025-03-16 18:58:03 +0000 UTCThe confusion over Gem corruption is understandable. You've seen the ones corrupted by the Diamonds 5000 years ago and Jasper due to infection (trying to fuse with a corrupted Gem). There are at least 2 or 3 other ways Gems can get corrupted which I wont spoil (prolonged exposure is one, that may also be what happened to Jasper).

Arianod
2025-03-16 11:34:00 +0000 UTCOnly Jasper things that corruption is a moral failure
Arianod
2025-03-16 10:30:36 +0000 UTCAh. You've started down a rabbit hole that goes all the way to China!
David Johnson
2025-03-16 07:32:46 +0000 UTC"MY DIAMOND! YOUR DIAMOND! PINK! DIAMOND!!" always gives me fucking chills. Especially cause my first watch of this show i just binged it I didn't pause to look at the backgrounds or give myself time to think, so it was so mind blowing to learn of another diamond I never noticed before.
Jergin
2025-03-16 06:42:48 +0000 UTCFun fact: Lapis and Peridot actually do fuse into a perma-fusion like Garnet near the end of the series, together they make Turquoise
Fritz Random
2025-03-16 06:06:25 +0000 UTCCan’t wait for the time travel arc when Steven gets to watch the most powerful gem ever fall in love with a diamond of all things, then gets to watch Pink Diamond die
Fritz Random
2025-03-16 06:01:47 +0000 UTCNo it isnt "largely" an analog for it because there are MANY fusions, including smokey, who would be both immoral and gross to be even seen as sexual. Can it be sexual? Sure. Is it largely sexual? Hell fucking no. Youd think people would learn this by now
peachy af
2025-03-16 05:54:14 +0000 UTCit kinda is though...like, i get the reasons people claim it's not, but it is. There are exceptions where it's more of an broader intimacy thing, but, fusion is largely an analog for sex, or something similar.
potato potato also another potato
2025-03-16 05:46:25 +0000 UTCGetting an STD isn’t a moral failure… and fusion doesn’t equal sex especially in this context 😭
Peluche
2025-03-16 04:20:05 +0000 UTCThat’s not what corruption is at all holy cow.
Peluche
2025-03-16 04:18:10 +0000 UTCIs that a jinx hoodie or something else
ladym
2025-03-16 03:02:55 +0000 UTCA common complaint is that the scale is inconsistent and off-model a lot. I honestly don't mind it, but I do agree it's a problem from an animation standpoint.

2025-03-16 02:33:16 +0000 UTCThere’s no pink diamond in Ba Sing Se
Ratataj
2025-03-16 01:33:04 +0000 UTCOf course she’s the #1 fan! They are her two favorite people!
Wolfie
2025-03-16 01:13:19 +0000 UTCThe next two episodes are gonna blow her mind 😂
Wolfie
2025-03-16 01:10:51 +0000 UTC34:09 Corruption in a nutshell is like psychological damage, trauma to the mind. By fusing with a corrupted gem and being unstable already, jasper opened herself up to becoming corrupted. When gems fuse their minds overlap and they can see into each other’s heads somewhat. Jasper hit her breaking point during this.
Wolfie
2025-03-16 01:01:00 +0000 UTCThe song is so cute :'). Thanks for sharing!
Racheal Yaris
2025-03-16 00:57:26 +0000 UTCThe gems clothes are melded to their body, part of their form-Steven’s are not. 28:37
Wolfie
2025-03-16 00:51:23 +0000 UTCNice
Film Vagabond
2025-03-16 00:43:26 +0000 UTCfusion isn't equivalent to sex.
peachy af
2025-03-16 00:43:25 +0000 UTCYeah same. Some episodes it was outrageous like in House Guest (they all looked disgusting lol) and it looked really good in some episodes like in the cluster arc but generally it's not bad enough for me to care
peachy af
2025-03-16 00:43:01 +0000 UTCthe diamond lore is insane
deny
2025-03-16 00:34:53 +0000 UTCIt's cause they're friends. Like friend friends, they hold hands and hang out. You can see it when they fuse.
Dinker
2025-03-16 00:34:45 +0000 UTCcorruption is like aids.. jasper fused (had s3x with it) aand got corrupted (got aids)
deny
2025-03-16 00:27:54 +0000 UTCThat is all that was going through my head when I wrote that lol.
Spadez
2025-03-16 00:22:30 +0000 UTCJasper basically caught a STD (and it serves her right)
Arianod
2025-03-16 00:19:08 +0000 UTCIts them DAMN flip flops 😭
Schleep
2025-03-16 00:04:05 +0000 UTCPink diamond and rose was lovers. but when yellow diamond found out she accidentally destroyed pink diamond when she was trying to hit Rose

2025-03-15 22:53:21 +0000 UTCthis is so interesting! i love seeing new concepts about the show even after so many rewatches

2025-03-15 22:20:51 +0000 UTCpsst SU reactions come out on every Thursday and Saturday :D
olek2501
2025-03-15 22:16:45 +0000 UTCNOOOOO MI TORTA
olek2501
2025-03-15 22:15:59 +0000 UTCim pretty sure its the latter, it just makes sense.
olek2501
2025-03-15 22:12:43 +0000 UTCSmoky Quartz is always a treat when they show up! Definitely one of my fav fusions! Peridot never ceases to bring me so much joy! Homegirl is out here living her best life as a meepmorpist, proud as hell to be a Crystal Gem, can't resist being a know-it-all Kindergartener, and is Trying Her Best with her metal powers...and she gets the final blow, albeit in a very tragic victory! I love that she's like Smoky's #1 fan!
Courtney Boike
2025-03-15 22:08:58 +0000 UTCI love Smoky Quartz, second only to Stevonnie.
Brett
2025-03-15 22:04:49 +0000 UTCThe inconsistency of character models was always a pretty big complaint from the fandom. I just don't pay that close attention to it and it's never bothered me that much lol.
Demi
2025-03-15 21:51:19 +0000 UTCIt's the second, it's basically an infection caught via fusion
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-15 21:28:54 +0000 UTCYeah, it's basically an contagious infection caught via fusion
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-15 21:28:31 +0000 UTCIt's whenever Jasper is present that it is oeak for me. Like hands down this is one of the best points in the show, because we have come a long way and we can take on villains like Jasper and there is still so much left in the series. It just has the best feeling. Like the top of the roller coaster moment
PinkPonytail _Girl
2025-03-15 21:23:39 +0000 UTCExactly. This whole arc is one of my favorites in the series and what I rewatch the most. Smokey Quartz??? THIS IS FUSION.
Simone Lott
2025-03-15 21:21:01 +0000 UTCPretty sure the reason Jasper corrupted was because she fused with a corrupted gem and it spread to her gem.
Vex Valor
2025-03-15 21:19:08 +0000 UTCI always thought that Jasper got corrupted either because she corrupted herself or because of fusing with the corrupted gem.
PinkPonytail _Girl
2025-03-15 21:15:08 +0000 UTCIn my opinion this is peak Steven Universe like right on that point between the two mindsets of the show.
PinkPonytail _Girl
2025-03-15 21:11:54 +0000 UTCYeah one is "I'm confused but clearly I was wrong and I'm sorry" the other is "I'm confused and I don't like that so I'm blaming you"
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-15 20:44:52 +0000 UTCYup, fusing with a corrupted gem is infectious
Phoenix Mackenzie
2025-03-15 20:43:21 +0000 UTCI like the dichotomy between Bismuth's and Jasper's poofing scenes; they both think that Steven IS actually Rose and they're being tricked, but when Steven says something that makes it clear he isn't Rose, Bismuth realises at the last moment that she was wrong, while Jasper just gets confused and doubles down. Shows a clear difference in their character.

2025-03-15 20:35:37 +0000 UTCI LOVE Smoky Quartz design. Particularly the Three arms. It’s one of those “Purposeful imperfections” kinds of things. Because you know, “They aren’t like anyone else.”
Tasia Cooper
2025-03-15 19:29:09 +0000 UTCA few episodes ago I talked about how maybe rose/the rebellion killed blue diamond due to me not paying enough attention to the fine detail and only seeing 4 reduced to 3 and blue was confirmed on earth in the Ruby/Saphire origin episode. Now confirmed for me that pink diamond is the probable death. When peridot made contact with the kindergarten lab in her early appearances she was shocked that there were any gems left on the planet at all. It seems that the diamonds evacuated their people, which we saw in the centipedles drawings then attempted the equivalent of a WMD on the earth to destroy all gems. I say all gems as yellow when peridot spoke to her knew organic life was still there. I think the corruption might be the equivalent of radioactive fallout of the attack and not the intended effect. If the corruption was the intent then why would jasper and peridot seemingly not know about it until the got on earth physically. The diamonds may not even know.

2025-03-15 19:18:59 +0000 UTCSmoky's actually my favorite Steven fusion. Stevonnie's great, but the buildup over this arc with Amethyst's growth and their relationship as Earthlings, the Worst Crystal Gems, the Shorty Squad, all coalescing into someone who could not only beat but absolutely *style* on Jasper feels so damn good.
Ferret
2025-03-15 19:09:53 +0000 UTCA lot of people seem to hate any time Steven Fuses with anyone but Connie but I LOVE Smokey.
A Magic Duck
2025-03-15 18:46:19 +0000 UTCi think when Jasper forced fuse with a corrupted gem she got infected with the corruption
John Bossert
2025-03-15 18:42:03 +0000 UTCI love Earthlings so much.

2025-03-15 18:39:46 +0000 UTCsteven univer is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you get, some you like others you dont, but all in all you want more :3
tom david johansen
2025-03-15 18:27:01 +0000 UTCYeah, this. You could say corruption works like contagion
Annieme
2025-03-15 18:16:41 +0000 UTCJasper was corrupted because she fused with a corrupted gem and it spread to her
Hayden
2025-03-15 18:08:22 +0000 UTCYet another classic peridot W
Alex
2025-03-15 18:07:36 +0000 UTCHaven't hit play yet. Waiting for me torta to arrive so I can have me some num nums while I enjoy my guilty pleasure of watching Steven Universe with Mosco. Wish I could just email you half this sandwich Mosco!
Spadez
2025-03-15 18:04:41 +0000 UTCNah, pink diamond is just a figment in everyone’s imagination.
Vexlix
2025-03-15 18:03:53 +0000 UTCtsk tsk, didn't use protection. XD
Spadez
2025-03-15 18:02:51 +0000 UTCLol. I know you prolly wont see this, cause you're not reading Patreon Comments but: Jasper "caught" the corruption from fusing with a corrupted gem. ;3

2025-03-15 17:40:32 +0000 UTCThe bowtie Peridot wears in Earthlings is from the stuffed alien she won in Too Short to Ride.

2025-03-15 17:40:08 +0000 UTCTbh I thought Smokey came later for some reason
AriOwl
2025-03-15 17:39:35 +0000 UTCThe reason Steven’s shirt is always on his fusions is because his shirt it physical and the gems clothes are made of light
Pumpkin
2025-03-15 17:32:00 +0000 UTCI love the behind-the-scenes chaos xD
Annieme
2025-03-15 17:07:58 +0000 UTCYes! Mosco has finally met THE Smokey Quartz! 🥳🎉💜
