1st for best gem
>>360995
You're not wrong.
Best couple.
>>361050
>I need an adult
>you are an adult~
>>361057
>>361050
I don't think Pearl would wait for Steven to be an adult
>>361082
She wants to play it safe and wait it out.
Guys this morning drinking thing is just fucking working out great.
I cut my finger open bending these shitty guitar strings too hard
>>361087
Nice edit. Now do Peridot
>>361126
I didn't do the edit, I found it on a tumblr blog.
>>361087
Maid Jasper is cute as fuck. I wish there was more art.
>>361092
But if she wait too much, she's gonna get moved over for other girls or gems
>>361139
She's been loyal to Steven for a very long time, that loyalty will eventually be rewarded. She's playing the long game.
>>361133
Maid Jasper is fine, if you can't have Teacher Jasper.
NOT
FOR
SEXUAL
>>361166
SEXUAL
FOR
STEVEN
>>361204
NOT
EVEN
ONCE
>>361103
Rip anon, he died like a comet.
>>361133
have magical girl Jasper
>>360967
Do we really have to have all this shit in the OP?
>>361229
bringing the /sug/ curse death toll to 5 I think
which one of you sorry clods is next
>>361233
That seems more like ojou-sama Jasper
>>361221
At first, Pearl was not intended for sexual. But now that Steven's here, she has a new purpose, and that means that Steven can use her for sexual, whenever he wants to.
>>361229
Bloody suffering pearl is still here. Still posting. The only people who /ss/ are cowards in the eyes of the gem lord.
>>361233
That is Gothic Loli Jasper, you pleb.
>>361256
Gross
>>361158
10/10 would bang
this thread started out great and now it's shit
why are pearlfags fucking repulsive, jesus christ
I'm considering dropping this show if it's revealed that Steven can't fuse with Gems, or if Connie won't let him for some reason.
>>361417
Depends on the type of pearl fag sonny.
>>361421
>Steven can't fuse with Gems
not likely but I admit it's a theory I pretty much consider
>Connie won't let him for some reason
Connie is a pushover cunt and has 0 effect on Steven.
I'm sure he'll fuse with Peri (which somehow will cause Steven vs. Amethyst) and/or Peetle
>>361433
>muh /ss/!! Wheers muh /ss/!
>>361421
Steven can fuse with gems and Connie is useless so she probably can't do anything to stop Steven from fusing. Ronaldo dispite being weak, was a full grown man and even when he threw all his weight into one of his punches he couldn't hurt Pearl. So Connie won't be able to do anything to the gem Steven fuses with.
>>361441
>Connie is a pushover cunt and has 0 effect on Steven.
What? I agree the "Connie won't let Steven fuse with gems" thing is silly, but she hasn't ever been portrayed as a pushover.
>I'm sure he'll fuse with Peri (which somehow will cause Steven vs. Amethyst)
I'm skeptical. Peri is being helpful, but she's not really a friend.
>and/or Peetle
It's gonna be a long time before the Centipeedle story gets far enough for that,
>>361497
>she hasn't ever been portrayed as a pushover.
what is Bubble Buddies
>Peri is being helpful, but she's not really a friend.
Still a lot episodes to watch, Anon. Read the titles and it's pretty much a given they'll expand her bond to Steven and, to an extent, the CG
>It's gonna be a long time before the Centipeedle story gets far enough for that,
Eh, maybe. They bonded really fast in Monster Buddies and it's seeing them fuse it's something I'd really love to see.
>>361497
She'll be portrayed as a pushover as soon as she faces another gem in serious combat. Pearl wiped the floor with Connie, and Pearl was killed multiple times during the war even though she's a great fighter. Connie stands no chance against a serious opponent, at best her sword fighting is just something she can show off at parties, what's she going to use her sword fighting against that couldn't just easily kill her, a robber?
>>361559
Did you not watch Sworn to the Sword? Connie and Steven are a pretty good combination.
>>361459
no different from any other steven universe fan. you're all little shits that should have been aborted
>>361559
while that's true and I really do hate Connie, her swordfighting skills can be very useful where Stevonnie is concerned
>>361581
>no different from any other steven universe fan
yeah, no. you're the only faggots who ruin threads with your shitty freudian fetish
>>361582
Stevonnie using sword and board is going to be great.
>>361589
what are you implying there boy ? it's not even my fetish. it's a group effort for you faggots
>>361589
no anon its lacan and its me doing it.
we need a lacanian breakdown of steven universe especially where our suffering pearl in concerned
>>361605
>lacan
What's that
>>361577
Because Steven was making her useful, if Steven wasn't there she would have lost immediately as opposed to almost immediately.
Stevonnie is a shit fucking fusion, why do you want to see her as opposed to any other Steven fusion that will be stronger than Stevonnie could ever hope to be?
>>361525
>what is Bubble Buddies
She was far quieter back then than even in Ocean Gem, and she was still hardly a pushover.
>Read the titles and it's pretty much a given they'll expand her bond to Steven and, to an extent, the CG
Trusting titles sounds like a bad idea to me.
>>361559
>She'll be portrayed as a pushover as soon as she faces another gem in serious combat.
Maybe.
So what? That's hardly relevant.

>>361629
dude why are you so hell bent on defending Connie
she's a shoehorned slut, get over it
>>361639
cunnie is just fine maybe you shouldn't be so hard on her.
steven isn't for pearl aside in the motherly way anyhow sooooooo.
>>361629
It is relevant because they're pushing her to be a fighter when she can never be a fighter. Why are they building her up to things she'll never be able to accomplish? Why are they expecting her to able to make a difference? Why do they think she's worth anything?
I smell curry and shit
I'm sure Misha is around us
>>361639
>dude why are you so hell bent on defending Connie
I'm not, really. I just think it's weird that people are criticizing her as spineless, when she's consistently been shown as way too keen to do rash things.
>>361655
>It is relevant because they're pushing her to be a fighter when she can never be a fighter.
...why?
Gems poof if they're stabbed with a sword, even if it's held by a human. Hell, they've already implied that humans were involved in the Rebellion.
>>361674
>>361713
indexer you piece of fucking FUCK
>>361716
here man i'll help you out by giving you this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IxKzk8JHO0
Will Pearl ever be able to show the wonders of space to Steven?
>>361716
i don't fucking care senpai
anybody remembers pearlnet?
>>361732
I like the image overall but that Steven looks like a midget rather than a kid. The head shape is off putting.
>>361732
>Pearl's face when she accidentally let's go of Steven
>>361747
Yes [spoiler]it was my first su ship[/spoiler]
>>361757
She held onto him pretty good when they bailed, I'm sure she won't ever let go of him if they were to reach space.
>>361757
pearls real face though after coming back to the ship empty handed.
>>361777
Don't you believe in Pearl?
>>361777
She looks like she's sleeping.
That's how I sleep, anyway
>>361793
anon are you a pangolin?
>>361793
are you a slav per chance
>>361788
Pearl doesn't believe in herself.
The thing that's always pushed her to do anything heroic was for the appeasement of another.
She would do anything for rose and anything for Steven and that doesn't translate well into being heroic,confidant,or happy deep down.
>>361814
I was thinking the same thing. Even if she accidentally let go he'd still be safe.
Someone on IRC just got it back into my head

It's been a normal monday. Came back from Dreamhack yesterday, tired as fuck. It was great fun though, I got to try out the HTC VIVE there.
>>361895
senpai...
>>361894
I'm getting fired today if I don't show up and it's fucking roasting outside so I'll just stay home where it's chilly and nice.
How about you, anon?
>>361925
Sounds like you don't value your job.
Never work the night shift, kids.
>>361917
damn, sounds like a nice time
>>361925
regretting the decision to stay with my pa while i'm at college because he decides at whim how to spend all my time for me, and today it's going into reorganizing his kitchen again apparently even though we did it yesterday
you gonna be fucked without your job?
>>361925
go to work anon
>>361976
It was great, it's like an Oculus but with two controllers instead of your mouse and keyboard, and you can move around with your body.
>>362440
I need moar jealous Connie and Peridot.
>>362440
lapi-sama~
>>362471
If anything, Peridot would be the jealous one since Connie and Steven are best friends, while Steven is mostly just a buffer between Peridot and the CG.
>Penultimate episode of SU
>greatest episode of the series, ties up everything in one awesome bow
>Final episode of SU
>Everything turns back to normal (basically if any post mirror gem things didn't happen) just for a "happy ending"
>Penultimate written by Sugar
>Final written by Zuke
How would you feel?
>>362514
the whole photoset is a fucking joke desu senpai
look at this shit
Anyone have a link to all the end credits themes?
>>362538
>>Everything turns back to normal (basically if any post mirror gem things didn't happen) just for a "happy ending"
You mean like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean where the universe was resetted, and everything and up to Part 6 stopped existing?
I'd be really, really fucking mad unless something so bad happened that Steven wouldn't want to live in the original world anymore. And even then, I'd still be angry.
>>361976
>you gonna be fucked without your job?
Yes, but it's no different from the usual really. I'm going down, slow and steady.
>>362538
I don't know m8, written by Zuke doesn't sound like it'll make up for all the character development and potential team changes the future might bring.
Lord of the Flies
>>362608
eh, good catch
drew this for you guys, i hope you like it
>>362570

>Lapis was never put into the mirror and either when to homeworld or got shattered instead
>Homeworld has no way of getting to earth at all

>>362630
It is greatly appreciated
comfy gems general?
>>362669
Yeah, no, unless the current SU universe ends incredibly sadly and depressingly, I can't see myself not getting mad over that ending. And even if that ending happened, I hope that Steven's mind would survive the transition and he would have the mind of the Steven that reseted it, but he's in the body of the young Steven. He goes home and sees all the Gems there, and he just bursts out crying.
>>362816
yes this is where we get comfy...even cheeto gems.
I'm gonna have the comfiest shower ever.

Love you to Anon <3
>>362949
Your Take on peridot and garnet fused, making a perfect miget squad
time to flood /sug/ with genuine love
look at the love in pearls eyes and you tell me.
you tell me if she can feel love but not be happy at the same time?
>>363362
Why fuck her and make her feel like shit when you can fuck her and make her feel loved?
>>363085
>burning passion
I feel the same way about you bb ;^)
>>363386
depends on who's she sleeping with an the context.
doing it with steven would be weird so no o that, but then again why would pearl ever adopt another species mating ritual to gain some closure in her heart?
that's the real hole in the gems for sexual logic barring rose. rose fucked it all up so now it could be an option but only if pearl just wanted to understand what drew rose to sex and gets hooked onto dicks. that'd be the only way.
>>363428
I can only see sex with steven ending with pearl feeling ashamed of herself
>>363457
Doesn't have to.
>>363457
could you imagine the instant they finished the feeling in her heart? at that point she wouldn't be able to look him in the eyes and she would have also known what she did was out of subconcious impulse because to sleep with steven she would have had to research it first with means the act was premeditated.
it's terrible.
>>363474
your sticking your hand into a vipers nest when you /ss/ just sayin.

Meanwhile steven being steven would try to reassure her, he would set aside his own discomfort and she would know it, it would end with then crying together while hugging it out
despite the fact that she probably shouldn't have gone down that road to begin with but hey what does just a pearl know about how to not do thing on impulse. [just because she's a rapist doesn't mean she rape steven out of angst]
>>363634
/ss/fags are the worst
>>363634
i know right???
Fuck man, I can't wait anothe rmonth and a half
>>363634
That's why I prefer shipping adult/older Steven with Pearl and the other Gems because then he can consent to sex.

CHAPTER 17
11:30 pm, amethuyst awakens. An O'Reilly rerun was playing. On the screen, greg universe was giving his usual shpiel on gun rights. "if those kids in that club were
armed..." she wipes the shit from her big fat eyes and gets off the couch. Garnet had been gone an awfully long time. Maybe she's dead? Oh well, it didn't matter.
maethyst would just move on. She goes to the kitchen and eats a cold hot pocket from out of the freezer. What's this? She hears a thudding sound back in the living room.
"what the hell is this womp womp i turned the tv off." she storms sullenly back to check, not because she was concerned about the power bill, let that be known,
but more to reassure herself that she was still doing great in the head. she enters. the tv is definitely off. The tv wouldn't make those sounds anyway. It was a piece
of shit vizio from best buy and there was in terms of bass frequencies in the speakers. She had thought about dropping by someone's house and stealing a sound system
but most people whose homes she broke into for fun had those garbage ass surround systems and what she wanted was a nice floor standing set. No one had those. Fuckign
beach city poor people. "Garnet?" she calls out. No response. She takes another step into the darkened room and waits a good minute. More silence. "fuck this womp womp"
she sighs sullenly before flopping back onto the poor couch that didn't do anything to anybody. she is drifting off to sleep when she hears shuffling sounds coming
from behind her, followed by 3 more dull thumps. amythsts eyes are barely open when the great beast gives a roar and lifts her off the couch. she hits the wall before
she's able to process what is happening and drops hard onto the floor. There she gets a look at her assailant. Big. Familiar too, but that doesn't matter. She picks
herself up off the floor and pulls out that whip she has and uses in the television show Steven Universe if you are at all familiar with it, and charges.
>>363712
>month and a half
Next episode is in May/2016, anon.
>>363721
great then the mother/son bond is just broken and pearl gets her wish of being with rose in a truly twisted, emotionally scarring way.
not to even mention the main thesis of the suffering pearl mindset that says he has a 50/50 chance of dying due to age because of what he is and the agony of waiting to see which side of his parents he inherited.
the suffering is there gems.
>>363741
CHAPTER 18
on a wacky gem beach, far enough away from the raging forest fire, pearl lies in the sand, staring sullenly out at the water. "What have I done? It's all gone. Everything.
My friends, my one or two true loves depending on how you look at it, the nice house i built. Well the melon people built it but i designed it and this is bullshit.
All gone." She sits up and rummages through her bag, removing her dumb idiot past self's gem and admiring it in the moonlight. "roseler could have healed you. We were
so close..." she hugs her legs and starts crying as if a bunch of dudes had just rolled up and beat the shit out of her or something. I'm talking real uncontrolled
sobbing. After a while she calms down and starts to rationalize it all. Really, had she even thought this whole thing through? If there were two pearls, which would
pretend to be rose when they bang? not her, that's for damn sure. Roseler was the real deal but something had gone horribly wrong in the process of her creation and
her kisses smelled like dead fish. Also she did not have any lips so that wasn't great. pearl listens to the sound of the waves while her breathing and whimpering
gradually slows.suddenly a crunching in the sand behind her.
"Pearl?" sapphire's voice.
The sobbing comes back in full force.
"I'm so sorry" she chokes out in between her blubbering.
"for what, pearl? What happened?" then she sees the rifle in the sand beside pearl's bag. Pearl notices too and before sapphire can think, pearl is on her, hands around
her throat. "I'm so sorry" she moans. "I'M SO SORRY" her grip tightening, sapphire's eye beginning to bulge.
The last thing sapphire hears is pearl's hysterical apology, now muffled by water.
expect more in the coming hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>363725
Thank you
>>363755
please immediately saw off your hands with your teeth

At that point, Pearl has accepted that Rose is gone and loves Steven for himself, not just for being Rose's son.

There was a transparent line of pixels seperating the last two images.
And Steven would still be alive. When Rose unfused Steven would be perfectly fine and have some memory of his mom. Rose wouldn't go to all the trouble of engineering a human like iterative form of reproduction and learning to grasp the love entailed by it just to engineer a kill switch for her son.

When I was a little child,
and dwelling in my kingdom of my father's house,
and in the riches and luxuries of my teachers,
I was living at ease.
[Then] from our home in the East,
after they had made preparations,
my parents sent me forth.
[...]
Then they made with me an agreement,
and they inscribed it in my heart so that it would not be forgotten:
"If [you would go] down into Egypt
and bring [back] the one pearl,
which is in the middle of the sea
surrounded by the hissing serpent,
then you will put on your glorious garment
and your toga which rests (is laid) over it.
And with your brother, our second in command,
you will be heir in our kingdom."
[...]
I went straight to the serpent,
around its lodging I settled
until it was going to slumber and sleep,
that I might snatch my pearl from it.
Then I became single and alone,
to my fellow-lodgers I became a stranger.
[...]
But in some way or another,
they perceived that I was not of their country.
So they mingled their deceit with me,
and they made me eat their food.
I forgot that I was a son of kings,
and I served their king.
And I forgot the pearl,
on account of which my parents had sent me.
Because of the burden of their exhortations,
I fell into a deep sleep.
But [because of] all these things which happened to me,
my parents perceived [my oppression], and were grieved for me.
