Hope you enjoy and happy holidays!

Yay, I'm caught up! :D Super Watermelon Island and Gem Drill were the first episodes I watched of the show on live airing. Good times :D I remember absolutely losing my MIND on first watch at the fact that Steven managed to summon a bubble around a chunk of like a billion gem shards. He's come such a long way, good for him.

I remember all that now! The island felt familiar, but I chalked that up to "how many different ways can you make an island" 🤣 That's cool though how it all connects. Huh, I did not pick up on that until that moment. I'll have to go look at their map now! I actually really like that though. Instead of just taking the Earth and making it...the way we'd expect, we get an alternate reality one. I'm going to be on the look out for more of these little differences now!

2023-12-22 17:48:55 +0000 UTCBased on your reactions I'm not sure if you remember the Watermelon Stevens from season 1, so here's a reminder: Steven accidentally created them and they started to attack everyone because they were overly protective of him. One of them called Baby Melon was different, having an underdeveloped body and a calm personality, and he made the others attack himself so they would stop attacking others. Steven yelled at the Watermelon Stevens to leave and not come back until they understand Baby Melon's sacrifice, and they walked into the ocean. Here in current time they seem to be sacrificing themselves to Malachite, because they are trying to copy Baby Melon's sacrifice. That island is also from season 1. It's the one Sadie, Lars and Steven were stuck in one episode. You noticed Canada having a green flag, but Earth's map was also quite a bit different in an earlier episode. The show is set in an alternate version of Earth and they occasionally reference it in small ways.

2023-12-22 16:30:51 +0000 UTCGems are created in the kindergartens like the one Amethyst came from, so they reproduce artificially. The show's creators have confirmed they are sexless (unless one chooses to alter their form with shapeshifting–for example, Gems normally don't have any breasts, but Rose did supposedly because she wanted to look more like a human.) So Gems only resemble what humans would consider women, but yes they're all like that and as a human hybrid Steven is the only male Gem in existence (and Rose is the only Gem who has been pregnant, using shapeshifting.)
