STEVEN. UNIVERSE. (warning: spoilers)

Steven Universe looked like another one of Cartoon Network's stupid shows when I saw the commercial. I saw "I just turned all my fingers into cats!" and "If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs!" Okay, that all looked really stupid to me. I just avoided the show entirely, but then my friend Len told me how it's actually a good show. Finally when I got bored I sat down and watched some of it. Of course I was all spoiler-ed up since it was revealed that Garnet's a fusion right before I started watching it so of course I knew about that the whole time. But it's actually a really good show! The songs are good--and God the voice actors can sing!--and the animation is beautiful, and the storyline is good. I swear I sound like a brony trying to defend MLP FiM by stating how it's so much better than every other typical little girl's show. But really, Steven Universe has better songs and prettier animation that FiM in my opinion. And it doesn't dedicate a whole episode just to jabs at the show's fandom. (Granted SU did make nods to the fandom in Say Uncle but that was an April Fool's episode that wasn't canon, which doesn't make it as bad as an entirely-canon MLP episode) Now I'm not saying that the SU fandom is better than the MLP fandom... Both aren't good, but there are good sides to every bad fandom.

WOW I sound like such a dork in this post!! Is every one of my little rambly posts gonna be this dorky? Wow. But the fan theories are so in depth, there's so much not yet explained in the show. For example I was always in love with the "Pearl is a service drone" fan theory, and then when it was revealed that Pearls are service drones I literally squealed. And when Peridot was first revealed without limb enhancers? Another squeal. And when Sardonyx and Yellow Diamond were revealed? Squeal city.

I mean, this show has even been known to make me cry. Now there are some people that bawl at the drop of a hat, and I don't think I'm one of those people. It takes a lot to make me laugh or cry and this clip of Steven Universe made me teary eyed. I'm not sure how to insert a video in here withou actually uploading the video itself because I just made this blog today but just click the link (please).

And the show's getting so good. Where's Malachite? Who knows! Somewhere in the ocean! But apparently thanks to Cartoon Network being stupid and leaking things, we now know Lapis Lazuli is coming back... but what about Jasper? And Peridot called Yellow Diamond a CLOD? And Yellow Diamond looks suspiciously like a giraffe? More importantly... OUR DORITO IS A CRYSTAL GEM?!

Also of course when you like Steven Universe you gotta have a gemsona, right? Well I figured my gem should be emerald since that's my birth month. I wasn't too sure how to make her look so I just designed her three times. And of course, this is in the Gemsona maker on Doll Divine because I'm a horrible artist and boy that game is fun.

The emeralds

So yeah, I guess I'll leave you with the emeralds and say good-bye for now!
