S5 EP6: FOUL PLAY (2/2)
Added 2024-04-17 21:00:03 +0000 UTCWelcome back :)
It's true what they say. What goes around, comes around.... and around. And around.
The vibes are off, that's what I'm saying.
Bonus points go to the people who recognize the quote. :)
Thanks for your patience with this one! I'll get working on the next one asap.

It had been literal YEARS since the last f-bomb! And I thought of this as a dramatic, whacko scientist!

2024-04-28 16:28:11 +0000 UTC"Just ignore what I just yelled in your face, I didn't REALLY mean it..." Too little, too late. You got what you wanted and used your words to hurt the boy who just saved your sorry ass, congratulations. But hey, you feel bad about it after the fact, that's what REALLY counts, right? Here's an idea for that knee jerk reactionary head of yours, you petty pathetic jerk: how about you stop being an immature hurtful little shit, give Steven an actual apology and actually try to change yourself instead of just cycling between being abusive and self-loathing? How about that?

2024-04-26 00:10:26 +0000 UTCOh man, this arc is hurtin' my heart. Steven's trying to figure out where the line between 'standing up for yourself' and 'being a bully' is, and as someone who's also been through abuse that is HARD when you're not taught at a young age. It really can be just as easy to be knife-tongued as it is to be a doormat. I can't blame Steven for being afraid of his own capacity for harm, even if he's being too harsh on himself right now.

2024-04-20 22:38:58 +0000 UTCLove savage Steven. And for all that, Steven *is* still a child. Not everyone will be happy with you or like you all the time, and sometimes people need the space to be uncomfortable even if it is the best decision.

2024-04-19 23:31:57 +0000 UTCYo, Steven is kinda savage this season! I kind of love it! I mean, he has had to put up with people treating him terribly his whole life. Seeing him confident enough to fight back, including verbally, is really nice. Like I think in the comic where he poofs Rose he’s thinking about how he’s always wanted to fight back and has never been able to. It’s satisfying as a reader to see him at a point where he can do that. I love that growth. He’s still struggling obviously, but I really like this change in him!

2024-04-19 18:30:34 +0000 UTCKid's really beating himself up over something as little a clapback against a jerk. It's interesting how that's such a normal teenage thing to do, but in Steven's eyes it's a big deal cause he's already got a messed up view of himself (or correct view of his "past self"?) and putting himself to way too high a standard.

2024-04-19 03:16:09 +0000 UTCStevieboy said the fuck-word. I really love how compelling and unique you make White! Steven. He is his own character with his own conflict and motivations, and you tie his own version of the Steven identity crisis to White Diamond's nature perfectly. "I'm supposed to BE better!"

2024-04-18 04:27:10 +0000 UTCAll the pain and suffering that Steven had to endure, is now making him be brutally honest to others. He needs a family

2024-04-18 03:08:10 +0000 UTCI also had the fascinating shower thought that we know of someone else who could be facing “acting like a Diamond” allegations but is specifically avoiding them. I look forward to seeing Rose react to all this…

2024-04-18 01:56:51 +0000 UTC‘At least people like jokes’. That’s a quote from the Steven Universe Pilot,

2024-04-18 01:23:14 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie, seeing that “Welcome back :)” scared me just cause of what’s probably coming soon

2024-04-18 01:01:08 +0000 UTCYessssss this is the bread and butter of this episode. thank you for noticing!!!!
Chekhov
2024-04-18 00:50:35 +0000 UTCI really feel for Steven. He’s surrounded by plenty of people who, frankly, often act pretty shitty! But when he lashes out at them— in a frankly measured and reasonable way— he has to judge his actions so much more harshly than anything they did, just because he was once White Diamond.

2024-04-18 00:49:38 +0000 UTCClever use of the pilot

2024-04-18 00:34:17 +0000 UTCIt’s moments like this that remind us that while this person may be called Steven and even looks like Steven he’s very much not Steven.

2024-04-18 00:27:55 +0000 UTCThank you so much! :D that means a lot, especially coming from a lurker. Thanks for reading!
Chekhov
2024-04-18 00:13:37 +0000 UTCReally really love your writing and art Chekov! Long time supporter first time commenter, I tend to lurk lol. Every twist and turn of the story never fails to get hyped for the next chapter!

2024-04-18 00:10:32 +0000 UTCHaha thanks! :D
Chekhov
2024-04-17 23:32:21 +0000 UTCIndeed! :D 🏆
Chekhov
2024-04-17 23:32:08 +0000 UTCI recognise the quote! It’s from the original pilot when Steven has the time turner :3

2024-04-17 23:30:53 +0000 UTCOne more thing, Chekov. Welcome back! and congrats on the new puppy! 🐶

2024-04-17 23:10:42 +0000 UTCSteven's being so hard on himself and it breaks my heart 🥺 If I could I would tell him that too. You are doing the best you can Steven. Plus, you're only one person. You can't do everything. Also...I think I do recognize that quote 😊 Bismuth (one of my favorite Crystal Gems) had said that to Steven in the original series. Only...it was: "You really are better than her"
Mirlene
2024-04-17 23:09:47 +0000 UTCDamn...Steven is dealing with a very difficult internal Thing right now, huh. :( I really like the deeper questions this is touching on, it will be interesting to see how these conflicts evolve. Really enjoying the use of the crow as his confidante, too, contrasted with the touches of playfulness and empathy in its behavior - very thematically interesting!

2024-04-17 21:07:57 +0000 UTCDamn he let Lars have it and I always dislike how Lars tries to make look cool in a bad way instead of just being himself and not caring what other people think
