cool
>>78282682
What anime is this? Is it Oreimo?
>>78282682
Can we come back from /trash/ now?
>>78282682
Garnet looking happy always makes me smile.
I want to see her giving Steven a big hug.
Nigga who the fuck is you
So...how many times has steven been woken up by someone looking for /ss/omething?
I appreciate that they're just diving right into a flashback to explain Garnet's roots instead of stretching it over half a season.
So it's gonna be Rebel Ruby with Princess Sapphire.I always knew it was more of aladin than "fuck the gays" when it came to Garnet
>>78282753
you know as well as i do the mods are gonna force SU threads in /trash/ till the show is official off hiatus
>>78282682
Dude we've already seen this. It was in the threads earlier today.
Plz go back to /trash/
>>78282984
idk man wasn't it said that the original crystal gems were just Rose and Porl?
>>78282682
i want more
>>78283225
Rose started it, and Pearl was probably the first member because she was already Roses handbag.
Garnet may be the first true member to join Roses cause.
>>78283285
Yeah she says that on the clip, but that;s why there can't be a Rebel Ruby meeting Diplomat Saphhire
>>78283426
Its obvious Ruby uses her feminine wiles to seduce Sapphire into not reporting the rebels to the authorities.
Then they fall in love.
>>78282682
How can you stand watching a clip or a preview for a Steven Universe episode? That's like, half the episode spoiled for you, and then there's nothing left to enjoy when it comes out for real.
>Rose Quartz is sent by Pink Diamond to establish the colony
>once the basic shit is set up, Yellow Diamond's crew comes and builds a Kindergarten
>Rose doesn't want to kill Earth, so she shuts shit down
>Blue Diamond sends in a diplomatic envoy
>the envoy joins the rebellion
>PD rolls in to find out just what the fuck her army is doing
>Rose duels PD, kills her
>it's war, motherfucker
>it isn't really cost effective to keep losing so many gems for one dirtball, so Earth is declared unfit for colonization
>YD's crew sets up the Cluster experiments, packs up their shit, drops a "farewell and fuck you" nuke, and goes back to Homeworld
>Rose spends the next 5,000 years letting apes buttfuck her in the pussy
So... what's the Deal with White Diamond? We kind of have some idea of what quarter each of the other Diamonds oversee, but there's not even a hint about White.
The twist, Sapphire was with the Rebels and Ruby was the diplomat. Which is why things got out of hand.
>>78282682
>OMG
Religion confirmed
>>78283529
If the mural in the pyramid means anything, WD might have been a messiah of sorts, with all the hands reaching for her.

Fuckin based. Can't wait
Who do you think is boarding this one? The drawings look a little awkward.
Molisee/Villeco?
>>78283792
Definitely Lamar and someone else. You can tell by the way he draws the sideways Steven, plus he always gets Garnet episodes
>>78283792
>awkward
>Molisee/Villeco
The fuck you smoking
Now that The Asian's gone Lamar's our awkward boarder now
>>78283792
Lamar, and probably Zuke. His Steven is as unique as the rest of the boarders, and he draws the most adorable Garnets.
>>78283529
Rose killing Pink Diamond makes a lot of sense to me, almost more than her being PD.
The only thing that makes me doubt it is the Serious Steven mural. There's a good chance it depicts the Diamonds, considering the four prominent figures are colored white, pink, blue, and yellow.
What if Ruby and Sapphire back then aren't as exagerrated as they are now?
Like thousands of years of constantly being Garnet have skewed their personalities to the point where they're not-quite functional operating independently.
>>78283824
>>78283845
Lamar was my second suspect, and you're probably right.
I am excited about Zuke, but sad we aren't getting her uncomfortably attractive Amethysts.
>>78283837
I do love Molisee/Villeco, but Molisee loves to go off model and you get some weird drawings sometimes. Search you heart. You know it to be true.
>>78282682
>https://player.vimeo.com/video/149449209
oh shit.
>>78283905
On twitter someone replied with incredulity to someone doubting whether or not Rose Quartz was a Quartz with "it's in her fucking name" essentially.
Though if Rose Quartz is another mass-produced gem, a battlefield medic/commander class, I have to wonder whether or not her line is still being made?
>>78283913
She usually makes the best reaction faces, and Paul draws Garnet with large and beautiful hips.
>>78282984
I knew there'd be a reason to have this.
>>78283529
Well, it's possible White is the Pyramid Gem, in which case it seems like she got taken out/corrupted in that big battle at the strawberry field.
Still curious to see how the rebels get portrayed. I feel like the Pink Diamond stuff's gonna be more complicated than that.
>>78283682
>Sapphire came to tell them to stop this shit
>Rose sends Ruby to do the talking
>Ruby's too headstrong to listen
>Ends up winning over Sapphy's trust through her naive optimism.
I hope.
>>78283962
I cannot deny this.
>>78283913
>but Molisee loves to go off model and you get some weird drawings sometimes
Yeah and it's the opposite of Lamar's stiff-as-fuck drawings I don't get how you would confuse them
Garnet had some TINY ASS hands in Future Vision
>>78282682
I want to feel garnets cheeks
>>78283913
We'll probably get her boarding that episode where Lapis and Peridot interact best day of her life
>>78283952
Because one of them went and began a decades long war.
That, or Rose Quartz are actually unique in Gem society.
>>78282682
>Garnet Episode
On one hand, It should be interesting to see Gen World and how Ruby and Sapphire were like before.
On the other hand, I've kind of grown tired of Garnet, as a character, though I know that won't be a popular though.
>>78282753
>we
Why the fuck did you let yourself get corralled there in the first place.
>>78283905
>, considering the four prominent figures are colored white, pink, blue, and yellow.
The pink one is very clearly Rose... holding up a pink diamond shape, as if using it to protect herself from the blue figure.
Maybe Rose used Pink Diamond's gem to power some sort of superweapon, but it backfired and caused the corruption?
>>78284045
Reformed made it somewhat clear that corruption was more on a Gems refusal to wait to reform and force it, resulting in a more fucked up body and mind each time.
>>78284008
Yeah I know, I'm saying our Rose's rebellion might have made Homeworld decide to scrap the whole line, maybe even round up any existing models and kill them. But it's possible that they're too pragmatic for that?
Also at this point I'm not comfortable assuming any gem is unique, except maybe Diamonds.
>>78283952
I kind of figure that they can't actually mass-produce specific gems outside of Pearls. They can just make Quartz, but don't have much control over which type pops out.
>>78284067
What if the corruption was a super-weapon that dispelled gems physical forms BUT also immediately forced regeneration? Turning into monsters would be the natural end result.
>>78284074
I always thought this as well.
Like, you might get more Jaspers then Amethysts since jasper is actually closer to the surface and a lot more common.
>>78283905
>>78283952
More than PD not being on the mural, the sheer lack of Pink Diamond in anything we've seen is more of why I still don't think it's as simple as "Rose killed Pink Diamond"
Literally the only signs of her existance we've seen are the old symbol and pearl's spacesuitand some people say those damn statues, but I still think those are too circumstantial.
But the other diamonds we've seen have had the new symbol, the mural, the outright name mention of YD,those statues again, signs of blue and yellow diamond loyal gems, etc.
Frankly, it looks like she's been erased on both ends, homeworld and earth. That's why it seems like there's something more.
>Steven has his bday on Jan 4
>Steven't birthstone is Garnet
>>78284074
So they can decide to make Quartz, but whether it's Jasper, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, or other, results on like too many variables to account for? That's possible yeah.
>>78284067
>>78284089
I HATE people that read this thing so wrong.
Corruption ISN'T what was happening in Reformed. They practically said so with the fact that Amethyst fell apart.
Corrupted monsters are both screwed in the gem, and they're overflowing with some kind of energy that allows those monsterous forms to remain stable.
Amethyst clearly still had control and choice in her reforming, even at the monster point, but she couldn't hold it because it was unsustainable.
They're clearly different situations.
>>78284148
Peridot had never heard of the Crystal Gems, meaning the leaders most likely said they won the war and the rebellion was squashed and erased all known history of the Gems involved.
>>78284206
So Homeworld dropped all history of PD because they didn't want to show that the CGs killed someone so important?
I guess that could work. Still seems a bit iffy.
>>78284201
Except we've only seen a few corruptions that have had screwed up gems, the ice monster and the worm one. Every other one had pretty standard gem designs with no noticeable flaws.
>>78284148
We've also seen pink diamonds on Sardonyx's shoes, which is really weird seeing as it's not even kind of present on Garnet and Pearl's current designs.
It's also really weird that the Pyramid has the current three-symbol design, even though it's presumably been there a long-ass time.
Maybe there was no Pink Diamond, and the four-diamond logo in the sky arena, was almost a heretical thing, "elevating" Rose to the level of diamond?
>>78284074
It's probably a batch process. You mix up some quartz juice and inject it, then get out a ratio based on the input. A shit-ton of Smoky Quartzes, a gaggle of Amethysts, half a squad of Jaspers, then a handful of assorted Rose Quartzes and Citrines.
Or maybe it's just entirely random based of the mineral composition of the area you seed, who the fuck knows.
>>78283909
>Exploring long-term psychological effects of fusion
>Ruby and Sapphire are so dysfunctional on their own because of the unnaturally long duration of their fusion
>Pearl is so fucked up and needy because she was part of a fusion experiment on homeworld before she was rescued by Rose
>Garnet joined up because Rose began putting her into a "recovery program" for Ruby and Sapphire to exist independently again
>Amethyst chooses to be unexpectedly small because being larger would make her look more like a massive homeworld fusion, and Rose didn't want Pearl and Garnet to be exposed to such imagery during their recoveries
>>78284148
I still think that one of those statues is Garnet with an axe. It makes way more sense to me that those statues are warriors who fought in the arena rather than the leaders.
>>78284259
No, the pyramid was a recent thing. Notice that it had no growth, and Pearl seemed shocked that it was there. I still think that it was an escape pod of sorts, and the Gem inside will be important later on.
>>78282753
There have been Steven Universe threads on /co/ constantly all week and every single one has been better than the average /sug/. Keep it where it belongs and good riddanceI know we'll need the general again to maintain the peace once there's new eps to talk about so the board doesn't get flooded - just let me dream a bit
>>78284201
I don't know, I assume the reason corrupted gems can sustain their monstrous forms is they free up more processing power by having their mental programs operating on base instinct only, the cost of which is that if their programming is dumbed down, they don't remember how to revert to normal.
>>78284148
>That's why it seems like there's something more.
Rose kills PD, tells Homeworld: "I beat PD's ass and her armies recognize me as their new leader. You must, as well."
To which Homeworld responded: "Fuck you, the position of Pink Diamond has been eliminated. We're a triumvirate now."
>>78284285
Pearl's so fucked up and needy because she's -a Pearl- that's been well-established.
>>78284291
>I still think that it was an escape pod of sorts, and the Gem inside will be important later on.
>Yellow Diamond accidentally (or intentionally) corrupts White Diamond
>sticks her in a pod, leaves her on Earth
>secretly replaces her with a Cubic Zirconia or a Diamondelle
>if Yellow Diamond can find a cure for her, great
>if not, all evidence of wrongdoing will be gone when the Cluster emerges anyway
One Diamond down, a fake Diamond in her pocket, and a Cluster to help her destroy the only remaining Diamond between herself and sole rule of Homeworld.
She's the hero that Gemkind deserves.

>>78282682
Considering this is still part of Peridot'spossibleredemption arc, it seems highly likely that Peridot will be eavesdropping on this story.
>>78284252
>>78284316
Their gems are fine, but they have a huge excess of energy and they are clearly forced into these large monster forms upon reforming.
That makes it seem more like something affecting the "mind" inside the gem. It's not just "they reformed too fast" otherwise a reboot via poofing and keeping them closed off should give the time to regather sentience, like it seemed to do with Peedle here.
But she still had a monster form. She just had her wits about her instead of raging about like before.
Also, there's no way there wasn't some outside influence to cause the corruption considering how there's SO MANY of them. Like, 5000 years worth, worldwide.
If it was something they do to themselves, it wouldn't have been so widespread like that, it'd be a process that takes time like it did with Amy and they'd likely put a stop to it after the first few.

>>78284148
Seriously I don't get why so few people seem to grasp that Rose Quartz being a Quartz and Rose Quartz being "Pink Diamond" aren't mutually exclusive. It's always seemed pretty obvious to me - if the other Diamonds gave such and important leadership position to a non-Diamond do you think they'd admit they were giving a leadership position to a non-Diamond? I could be wrong, I'm not really too concerned about the specifics of this whole theory considering how little we actually know, I'm more just surprised I never see anyone else guess at what seems to be a pretty obvious work around to this whole "problem"
Pearl seemingly embracing the symbol pretty much clinches it for me though, why would she care about it unless it was Rose's somehow?
>>78284509
I think the reason Peedle was smarter was because she actually shrunk down to a much more sustainable form. Though HOW she was able to do that I'm still not sure of.
>>78284291
Wow, someone still sticking by that old theory. I was the one that kept posting huge greentexts about it way back when.
>>78284430
If she was corrupted by YD, I don't think she was sent to Earth by YD.
If it is an escape pod, White Diamond did it to herself and went to Earth looking for Rose.
The pyramid was powered by the gem, but unlike Lapis' prison, the Gem wasn't held there by some crazy magical force. It just smiled and released itself when it saw Steven (or more likely felt Rose's gem).
If it was really modern, it could have come during Steven's lifetime, explaining why Rose never dealt with it and why it was Steven's first serious mission.
And it'd also explain YD's sudden increase in interest in the Cluster shit since there's now just Blue Diamond in her way of total rule of Gemkind.
>“Message Received” – Steven has doubts about believing in everyone.
I wonder if we are gonna learn something dark about one of the gems or something
I'm so fucking happy we're actually getting some history from someone other than Pearl.
>>78284714
Literally every one of them has done something to cause him doubt at one point.
>>78284620
>Seriously I don't get why so few people seem to grasp that Rose Quartz being a Quartz and Rose Quartz being "Pink Diamond" aren't mutually exclusive.
"Diamond" just being a title has always been a possible theory, as is an elected Gem fusing with a Bismuth to form a Diamond.
The Pink Diamond Bismuth is inside Lion, so Homeworld can't make a new Pink Diamond. Makes sense that they'd remove her from the emblem.
>>78284648
What I figured was the pyramid was there a long time, it's just that Garnet only found the key recently (though it could have been she found it at some point after Steven was born, but she did foresee that Rose's gem was needed).
>>78284714
Well, they're obviously going to find out that Peridot's message went through, possibly because Pearl kept fixing the hub.
This might also be the make or break moment for Peridot, where she has to choose where her alliances truly lie.
>>78284593
>I'm a faggot who keeps on jumping to the next popular thing
>>78284714
It's probably going to be either Steven hearing about
>Yellow Diamond sends a return message to Peridot and it explains what the CGs really were to Gemkind, horrible rebels that caused a massive conflict and set them back for millenia or
>that message telling Peridot to wait and that they'd be there to help before the cluster emerges and the Gems decide to not tell her/start plotting to get rid of Peridot to ward off the YD forces in front of/in earshot of Steven
Or both. Just something to show Steven how ruthless the Gems really can be when it comes to protecting Earth.
>>78284749
But none of them have truly caused him to have a crisis about believing in them yet. Sounds like something serious actually happens.
>>78284825
I could honestly see the episode being about Peridot betraying them.
Actually considering the title of the previous episode, maybe Peridot betrays them when flying to the moon and that causes Steven to have his issues.
>>78284825
What would Yellow Diamond say in these circumstances? Like it seems unreasonable for her to think Peridot is capable of defeating the Crystal Gems on her own, and holding that as a condition on letting Peridot leave (or demanding Peridot stay and make sure the Crystal Gems don't stop the Cluster at the cost of her life). It seems like the most she could do would be to say she's sent a ship to pick Peridot up.

>>78284834
>implying i'm concerned over popularity, and not quality
>>78284775
I'm not even getting at anything that complicated, they could have just wanted her on board due to some ability she had (I'm thinking her healing powers or something) and basically just told her "yeah if anyone asks you're a Diamond now, can't have us publicly admitting we need a lower order gem to work with us screwing up our whole rigid caste-based society thing now"
>>78284882
What would Peridot betraying them even be? Like I doubt YD knows Peridot is working with the Crystal Gems at this point, and thus doesn't know that the Crystal Gems know about the Cluster, so she wouldn't order Peridot to sabotage them.
>>78284875
Who knows, maybe Yellow Diamond actually told Peridot to fuck off, and since Steven wants to believe in everyone he has a hard time accepting YD is truly evil.
>>78284285
>Pearl
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Pearls were indoctrinated to love the one who bares them so it makes her love Rose unconditionally. And since Steven both is and isn't kinda rose she has developed a sort of protectiveness of what her indoctrination treats as her master's most precious possession/maternal instinct.
>>78284930
When they go to the moon, Peridot hijacks the ship and flies back to homeworld, leaving them stranded.
>>78284930
Well maybe decides to betray them to help Homeworld
Or as another anon says, she jacks the ship and leaves them on the moon since she probably still doesn't completely believe that they can stop the cluster
>>78284981
im going to be sad when the inevitable peridot betrayal comes
>>78285033
I really hope Peridot doesn't betray them. I want to keep the angry slice of pie, dammit!
>>78284930
No matter how much she's grown as a person, she's still a Homeworld Gem. She yearns for order, to fit back into the machine she was once a cog within. If Yellow Diamond offers her a way back home, she'll take it.
The only difference is that, now, Peridot might offer to take Steven and Amethyst back with her.
>>78285069
Me too. I'd also like for Jasper to join the gang but it is going to take something tremendous for that to happen.
>>78284930
The cluster gems fighting the cluster is probably plan B. Plan A is waiting for a chance to get back to the Kindergarten alone and using it to contact homeworld. She was both very eager to drag Steven there for something she could have explained without fixing the communication systems and Garnet made it a point not to let her go to the Kindergarten alone.
>>78285109
>Steven somehow saves her from the hell that is Malachite.
>"I unfortunately owe you my life now tiny Rose Quartz."
Does anyone else think that Malachite will seriously hamper the gems from stopping the Cluster at some point? Like I'm pretty sure both Jasper and Lapis would be in agreement that it would be just desserts for Earth as for Malachite personally? I figure that whether she wants to just sulk until the Earth explodes or flies into space to become a nightmare to the cosmos, she's set either way. The big picture: she's not gonna let the Crystal Gems save the world.
>>78283540
Sapphire has future vision. She'd know Rose's crazy plan would work.
>>78285166
>Does anyone else think that Malachite will seriously hamper the gems from stopping the Cluster at some point?
The easiest way for them to drill down to the center of the Earth is using a deep sea trench as a starting point.
Guess who lives in a deep sea trench?
>>78285154
WOuldn't that require him to defeat Lapis? Whatever it may be I doubt Lapis would be happy.
I've been thinking, maybe maybe Steven would have to really impress Jasper, and get her to want to follow Steven for the sake of following Rose.
>>78285069
One indication, at least, is that her design's been altered. Her whole "floaty fingers" look can't have been fun to animate, so it's quite possible that she lost the limb enhancers to make her easier to draw.
Take Avatar, for instance. Zuko went from being an intermittently-appearing villain to dominating the average episode's B-plot around the point that he stopped wearing all that crazy Fire Nation armor and topknot and started wearing regular clothes and messy hair.
>>78285166
Honestly I think Alexandrite could take her. She'd have a ridiculous amalgamation of weapons to use while Malachite has, what? Water-nose?
>>78285260
>Her whole "floaty fingers" look can't have been fun to animate
Of course it was fun. Animators love shit like that.
What it probably wasn't was cheap.
>>78285260
>>78285292
True. I hope this means that if Peridot does betray the gems, she will ultimately end up joining them in the end.But what if Amethyst is the one who betrays the gems.
>>78285261
I can only hope.
>Malachite (accidentally?) injures Steven and the combat pauses
>all of a sudden there's a bright flash of light to the side
>cue THE BEAST
>>78285344
>Alexandrite goes full Eva beast mode and starts tearing into Malachite while Steven watches in horror
Not going to happen, but it'd be so cool.
>>78284259
That's actually pretty plausible, I like it.
>>78285344
This is probably what would happen if she hurt Steven.
Then Malachite gets poofed, the gems bubble Jasper and maybe don't bubble Lapis. :/ But that ends with Jasper out of the picture. Maybe lapis and Jasper being fused for so long, they got to know eachother? And now Jasper sees things in a different light?
>>78285413
I don't know, Sugilite being poofed didn't poof Amethyst and Garnet, they were fine.
I think unless she's stabbed by one of those gem-tazers (whatever did happen to the one Peridot had that was being gripped by Steven?), Jasper and Lapis would still have their physical forms after separation.
>>78285413
I want Jasper to be an interesting thing for Steven to deal with.
>Clearly wouldn't want to crush her though the Gems/Lapis probably would
>Shouldn't be able to convince her to betray her people/join them
>Imprisoning her forever would make him upset too cause it'd be like Lapis
>Steven having to tackle the tough idea of dealing with someone that will not be his friend and will keep hurting others.
>>78285551
I don't know if Jasper would keep hurting others though, like she's an asshole soldier, not a psychopath.
Who's the VA of the purple skinned bitch? It sounds like garbage
>>78285591
>she's an asshole soldier, not a psychopath.
Yeah, nah. She's totally going to want to keep punching them in the face after getting free.
There's no reason for her to turn away from homeworld or show any kindness/sentiment towards the CGs or Lapis.
She's a soldier. She'll keep fighting.

>Diamonds see this as a threat to their power.
>Go out of their way to destroy any symbolism depicting Rose as a Diamond during the war.
>This is why anything resembling Pink Diamond has been destroyed.
Alternatively;
>Rose kills Pink Diamond.
>A Diamond has never been defeated by a non-Diamond before.
>Gems elevate her to Diamond status.
>She's already pink so they don't have to change much.
>Only major difference after this is that Homeworld Diamonds change their insignia and pretend that Pink Diamond was never a thing.
>>78285344
>>78285381
Alternate scenario, injuring Steven is what causes Malachite to unfuse, when Lapis' "Protect Steven" protocol and Jasper's "Beat Up Everyone" protocol conflict.
Though if we DO ever see Alexandrite in action, what would you all want to see as a combined gauntlet+whip+spear weapon? My vote isharpoon gun.

Maybe it was Rose who gave herself the title as a way of legitimizing her claim to Earth. They're all "only a diamond can have territory" and she's like "well, then I'm the fourth Diamond now"

So which of these is Yellow Diamond?
>>78286082
Do...
do you not know Barney is a TV show?
>>78284509
Maybe the death of one of the Diamonds caused the corruption. Some kind of psychic backlash from a powerful Gem that warped the minds of many og those remaining on Earth.
>>78286225
The yellow one.

Probably the one that's tinted yellow?

So that would mean that if the gems inject corundum into a kindergarten, they're mostly going to get a nice batch of different colored Sapphires, mostly blue of course, but some violet, green, even pink is okay. But every so often you get a goddamned Ruby.
>>78282682
Holy shit, this is going to be a huge lore episode.
>>78287082
Rumor has it that we'll be given a flashback in silhouette style.
>>78287109
Is the whole episode going to be like that? I would have thought that Ruby and Sapphire meeting episode would get the same treatment as when Greg and Rose first met.
>>78287239
You mean Sapphire is the only one who attends Ruby's concert?
>>78287257
I meant it was an episode done in the usual style, just with different, "earlier" character designs.

>corrupted gems are overcooked runts from the Kindergarten
>Garnet not wearing her glasses
I know I'm in the minority but I prefer her with her glasses on, I don't think many boarders can get her eyes right.
In the OP clip for example, her third eye is too big and bulgy and she doesn't look adorable like she should
>>78287395
wow, rude.
>>78287445
I think the most off putting thing is her wide ass forehead.
Yeah I like her better with shades on.
I guess that's the writers way to give her some kind of "bubbly" personality
>>78286015
She's got good range.

>I guess that's the writers way to give her some kind of "bubbly" personality
Is she just really stoic around Amethyst and Pearl because that is what she thinks leadership is like?
>>78287621
I thought it was more because Ruby and Sapphire had trouble deciding something.
So she argued and mulled over things silently, Sapphire's side, until she spoke up, Ruby's side.
>>78287445
Yeah, her eyes often just end up looking off-putting.
>>78283063

>>78285292
The finger things aren't hard to draw. What are you talking about? They're very simple and they never move around very much.
>>78286225
Design seems to have changed. The one in the intro is different.
>>78287804
Yeah that's why I was asking. I also remember there being 4 diamonds, which fused created White Diamond.
Maybe YD wasn't on the war.
>>78284825
Pearl didn't re-send the message, it was only sent once.
>>78286225
They're all images of the same Diamond at different points in time.
>>78287862
I'm having a hard time believing that
>>78284285
No. Pearl is needy because she is a Pearl. They are made to need the approval of an audience. That's why Opal is her only balanced fusion. Amethyst doesn't care what you think.
Amy is small because overcooked. She is small and weak for a Quartz, the warrior class. A non-defective Amethyst should be around Jasper's size.
>>78287445
I liked how it was done in Jailbreak, but that's the only time we've really seen her have a full expressive conversation without shades.

>>78287445
I agree
>>78288089

>>78285413
>>78285551
personally I'm thinking Jasper will come out of the whole Malachite situation incredibly damaged both mentally and emotionally(cause I can't imagine anyone coming out of a multiple month long forced fusion and be all right in the brain), with this being the lead in for a potential Jasper "Redemption" arc with Steven having to help her get past that trauma
>>78283952
I'm saying Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond, Rose Quartz being an alias she undertook after detaching from the rest of the diamonds to separate herself from them.
>>78288287
What.
Then what's the deal with Lion and Bismuth?
>>78285689
I wanna fuck garnet and her voice actress.
>>78288312
Bismuth is "If we get more seasons than we think" plot. Not that guy.
>>78288357
What do you mean?
Do you think bubbled bismuth was more like a throwaway thing?
>>78288206
I hope Jasper comes out of Malachite all messed up mentally but still a villain.
>>78288428
I mean I feel like it was something they thought about and decided to tease now because they didn't know if they could get that far with seasons and if they did they'd bring that story out. I say that because right now there's nothing that really connects to it so I don't see it being brought up very soon.
Given the pattern of previous episodes (Peridot getting on with Steven, then Pearl, then Amythyst), I think this is gonna be the one where Peridot comes to understand/trust Garnet (if not entirely, than at least a little more).
Even though it's Garnet telling the story to Steven, it could be that the episode ends revealing that Peridot had been listening in the whole time.
>>78288478
Yeah you're right. There's only heacanons and theories.
Still we might see a flashback of that in the upcoming episode, maybe?
>>78288565
I think the Garnet and Peridot bonding episode is called Barn Mates, which follows Back to the Barn and Too Far
>>78288573
If we do then we do and what I think doesn't matter but from here it doesn't FEEL like that's going to happen. Of course it could be the plot of this next episode but I feel like they're going to reveal Lion's deal first before getting to that.
>>78288639
still I'd like it if they didn't revealed Lion's background or Bismuth's purpose yet
i'm pumped to finally be getting more episodes...
but godamnit i wanted super watermelon island.
>>78287972
>She is small and weak for a Quartz
She's smaller, not weaker. Peridot points that out in Too Far. Being overcooked may be why she's so adept at shapeshifting.
>>78288339
Estelle is a bad bitch man, who wouldn't.
>>78288339
Sapphire's VA is kinda hot too
Do you think Greg and Peridot will meet in Tuesday's episode? I want them to become weird friends
Finally an opportunity to post this again.
>>78289068
I didn't like Estelle before SU, and now I think I'm in love with her
>>78289068
I love that Ruby is a tiny Asian woman. That makes her rage even cuter.
Am I a douche for hoping Ruby and Sapphire really did not get along at first?
>>78288591
I think at this point they've changed the titles of some of the episodes because every single one is new and wasn't in the leaked episode titles.
>>78289075
>tfw you will never be Garnet's American boy.
>>78289124
Or the leaked titles were working titles that were then decided against later.
Which may have been independent of that leak.
>>78289068
>diverse crew actually talented instead of just shoehorned in for diversity bucks
What is this
If Garnet is an emergent life form and not just the summa of Ruby and Sapphire, it is conceivable she will fall in love someday with someone they don't necessarily like.
Someone like another fusion in the same situation, perhaps. That might lead to a reticence to unfuse for different reasons than the members not wanting to. Is Garnet stronger than Ruby and Sapphire?
What if a situation like that led to the taboo on non-combat fusions?
>>78289164
The future.
I hope.
>>78289106
it's anime cliches: the cartoon and Ruby is a short angry midget, what the fuck do you think is going to happen
>>78283682
It might not be a diamond symbol at all. It looks like her "skin" color, like a boob window.
Prepare for fanart!
>>78289176
Garnet is literally the embodiment of their love, so I think her falling in love as a fusion won't happen or likely
>>78289254
That would be interesting, can Garnet actually love someone?
I mean, she's a separate entity from both Sapphire and Ruby. Just because she's the embodiment of a relationship doesn't mean she can't feel those things
>>78284148
>diamond
That's a square, the worst of all basic shapes. It ruins pizza.
>>78289256
>can Garnet actually love someone?
You mean romantically? Maybe, but then Ruby and Sapphire would have to love them too.
>>78289263
That is what I am wondering about! She said a fusion is a new creature, separate from the members that make her up.
>>78287972
Amethyst is just as strong as a full sized quartz and that strength is compressed into a smaller package. She's Antmanning it.
>>78288862
>>78288862
Bullshit. Jasper could go toe-to-toe with Garnet, but nothing has suggested that Amethyst is close to being as strong as Garnet.
>>78289337
But that would make her nontrivially stronger than Garnet. I do not agree.
>>78289151
TAKE
>>78289068
Not that I'm complaining, but it's pretty strange how 90% of the cast is non-white. Times sure have changed. A LOT.
>>78289276
It would be cool to explore a fusions independency from the two Gems that form it, that could help it seem like it's own character instead of a plot device.
>>78289068
It's time to add Sardonyx's VA to that.
>>78289354
Sugar herself says that the purple puma vs garnet fight was a lot closer than it looked.
Amethyst is stronk.
New episodes? It's just crazy enough to work!
>>78289415
Voice acting has changed a lot. 20 years ago, voice actors were expected to be able to do many different voices because they were expected take on multiple roles in a cartoon. They were expected to actually be, y'know, skilled in their craft.
>>78289500
Yeah it's totally not that the studio just didn't want to have to hire more actors.
>>78289500
le 90's kids, amirite?
>>78289500
>Why don't voice actors these days just have a bunch of wacky voices they use instead of actually, y'know, acting?
>>78289500
It's very different for cartoons with 100+ characters than for cartoons with like 10.
Also SU is using guest voices as kind of a gimmick, so most on that list aren't even mainly VAs.
And then there is the small thing about SU being far less cartoony and more character driven, so strange and funny voices won't really do.
>>78289483
If she is any strong she has the absolutely worst weapon and attitude about it.
Because she never really seems to know what the fuck to do in a fight and her weapon cannot transmit any strength at all.
>>78289674
She casually cuts through metal and old gemtech with that whip. It clearly isn't what we would recognize as a whip.
And I never said she was smart, just strong as fuck; which she is.
>>78289560
>And then there is the small thing about SU being far less cartoony
You're watching a children's cartoon. It's not more or less cartoony than other cartoons. It's a cartoon.
>>78289429
DAY-UM
>>78289714
While she clearly is strong, compared to human standards, she fails a lot in fights. Which is odd for a designated warrior. Her effectiveness is no higher than Pearl's and her fighting is apparently an absurd concept to Homeworld.
I find it hard to really quantify how strong they are in terms of raw lifting capability, but Amy jobs like a sucker most of the time.
>>78289352
She honestly hasn't been trained though, she just tries going in with brute force and no tactic.
>>78289816
Rose, who is probably the strongest Quartz, trained her
There's no real reason for her to have not trained Amethyst
>>78289716
>It's not more or less cartoony than other cartoons
Well that's just false. Compare this to something like pig goat banana cricket or uncle grandpa.
>>78289857
>Well that's just false
It's just as cartoony stupid fuck.
UG relies on sillyness and randomness.
>>78289857
>>78289857
Just because a cartoon is less surreal or more grounded doesn't make it less cartoony. Hell, SU had a perfectly good crossover with UG.
Would you stop acting like SU is less cartoony in order to justify why you enjoy it?
>>78289716
In a way, sure.
But SU really does cover more emotional depth and relies less on cartoon logic than comparable shows.
For example wounds have consequences, emotional impressions and opinions persist to move the status quo over time.
>>78289881
Which makes it more cartoony. The crossover episode should have made that clear when the reality suspension UG thrives on was an insanity-inducing experience for the Gems.

>Just because a cartoon is less surreal or more grounded doesn't make it less cartoony
You obviously have a completely different definition of the term because I would say that is precisely what it means.
I personally measure "cartoony" on an inverse scale to "distance from Animaniacs". Not necessarily in style, but in amount of symbolism instead of real object, isolation of consequences to single scenes or sequences, suspension of reality for comical effect.
So, if in SU Steven was to bash Connie over he head with a huge hammer, she would not ge flattened with an accordion effect and she would not be just fine in the next scene.
>>78289429
Yes it is!
>>78289975
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cartoony
The actual definition of cartoony is having the style of a cartoon. As in, being one. Your definition is incorrect.
>>78282682
Garnet found pills. and ate them.
>>78289825
Pearl had mentioned how it was unusual for her to go into fight old when she was only a few thousand years, so it seems significant for gems not to fight when they're first formed. And Amethyst had to go actively search with humans to wrestle with because she wanted to fight with somebody.
If she's meant to be warrior class they probably wanted to keep her out of it, as she's meant to be on the gem worlds side and not overcooked.
>>78282682
Steven's sleeping in that truck bed to finally have a nights peace without thirsty Pearl trying to creep into bed with him.
