WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

We’ve all seen the Worm Steven theory right? That that pink Worm in the intro is corrupt Steven?

WHAT IS ITS NOT STEVEN

Hear me out, its a worm, what are worms like? Snakes. Worms are like snakes.

Who have we heard take about snakes in show? Well Steven obviously, (They don’t have arms) But who else?

RONALDO

He had a theory about SNAKE PEOPLE FROM SPACE

SNEOPLE

WHAT IF BIG PINK BOI IS SNEOPLE?!?!?!

Is the White Diamond and her Pearl interaction a pre-recorded message? Was everything fake like they are in Roses room?

Did the interaction trigger when Pinks ship landed? That would a explain so much.

White not letting Steven finish his sentences.

White Pearl literally acting like an unfinished AI from Baldis Basics

White Diamond sayin how everyone seems so “excited” for her arrival even though she looks like she literally hasn’t moved an inch in eons to even see that or have enough time to even process her arrival (Blue Diamond said she hadn’t left Homeworld for that long....can she even? Why is she in a statue like pose?)

The crowd stopped cheering suddenly when White Pearl showed up...very suspicious...planned?

White ONLY wanted Pink Diamond and clearly acted like she knew her intentions all along. Did Pink turn to White after not getting through Blue and Yellow? What happened during that time? The Diamonds said White is hard to cool down and she’d be pissed if she found out, yet that was not the reaction. She seemed very passive-aggressive, yes, but that’s because she acted like she wasn’t even apart of a REAL conversation.

They also said that’s she’s “hard to get to”. It may just be her character obviously but what if that because she isn’t even real?? Like Roses room.

White Diamond literally acts like every “person” shaped from Roses room. And so does her Pearl. (THE FLOATING AND THE PHASING AND THE PLANNED DIALOGUE)

Then she “teleported” Pink back into what looks to be her old “palace” or something. What’s up with the sudden “ok that was a funny game now let’s get back to work ahaha” attitude?

(This may be a LONG reach, but what if Pinks ship didn’t even go to homeworld when it was set to return? Everything was extremely uncanny.)

Was anything even real?

The Return of Lapis Lazuli

We’ve recently seen this short promo, aired as usual on Cartoon Network, which shows us Peridot giving Lapis a gift.

We don’t really know what episode the promo was from, but many speculate that it’s from Barn Mates, judging from the synopsis:

We initially thought it was going to be Peridot and one of the Crystal Gems, but the promo suggests otherwise: it’s actually Peridot and Lapis Lazuli.

There’s one problem: as of now, we don’t really know how Lapis is going to get back. Malachite is still there, as far as we know, chilling on the ocean floor or something, with the usual internal battle going on.

One of the other future episodes we know about is Super Watermelon Island. It’s the first in the list, actually, and one of the only three to have a synopsis.

Do you remember what happened to those Watermelon Stevens? They went into the ocean.

This really makes me think that those very same Watermelon Stevens are going to be the key to finding Lapis/Malachite, making them finally plot relevant! (Thank you, Chekhov’s gun.) They could possibly search the ocean floor, or just know where she is. Heck, maybe she’s on “watermelon island” with them.

The following episode (that we know of) is Gem Drill. Obviously, it seems they’re going to deal with the Cluster, but well, there’s one logistic problem: I think drilling a freaking mantle-deep tunnel with just a drill, even made of whatever gemkind technology, is not very feasible. It’d take an impressive amount of power to do something of that sort.

Luckily, we have a character who’s done impressive stuff before. She stole an entire ocean and built a water tower into freaking space. It’s Lapis Lazuli. She would at the very least be tremendously helpful, for example by helping the drill not overheat (an actual concern for real life drills, where muddy water is used as a coolant).

tl;dr: The Watermelon Stevens are going to be the key to Lapis Lazuli’s return, and she’ll be crucial to drill to the Cluster.

Love the inspirations so much! Just remember your Spinels and give them love.

SU Movie spoilers ahead but:

Spinel doesn't just look like Mickey Mouse...

She goes from looking like Mickey Mouse: the beloved toon-

To looking like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: the forgotten toon

Episode 15 & 16 Analysis Bits

This is a analysis post of all the little things that I, and probably some of you guys noticed in the latest 2 episodes.

The Diamond Essence

So Steven used all the diamond essence. Everyone knows that. But the contrast between how the essence blends in episode 1 and 15 is pretty interesting.

In episode 1 of SUF, the blend of essence looks very smooth, bright, and wavy. It sparkles in a very nice and harmonious way.

However, in the latest episode, the blend looks far more... fragmented. Unstable. Dark.

This is probably a representation of his mental state being far more jarred, unstable, and just unhealthy. Rather than spreading evenly and properly, his essence just spreads, like a stain. Or a corruption scar....

Steven's forms

Steven has changed shape, size and even color this season. There are some things to take note of:

Steven's form changes either uniformly or chaotically. This probably indicates weather the change is a reaction or an internal change. That's why Steven grew so chaotically and unsustainably in Growing Pains, but grew in a “healthier” way during Fragments. Not that the way he grew was healthy at all.

We know from the series that gems, including Steven, change form depending on their mental state. Steven changed into chad Steven because he felt stronger. Steven might change into the wyrm because he feels out of control, like a corrupted gem.

Pink Diamond Resembelence

Steven underwent a number of physical changes during Fragments, but one of the most significant ones was his increasing resemblance to his mother.

He's taller, about quartz height. His hair is poofier, like Pink's hair, and it even has the same tufts as hers. And the eyes? People have been pointing out that they have white pupils like White's , rather than Blue and Yellow's black pupils. And that must be deliberate.

White said she wanted to fix things. When she couldn’t, she moved ahead. Steven wants to fix things, but he can't live without a purpose. His family saw him as a burden when he couldn’t do anything. That has fed into his current state, if not created it.

Betraying Every Single Crystal Gem Value

This is probably one of the things that hit me the hardest in this episode. He managed to:

Destroy organic life

SHATTER A GEM

Enjoy violence and causing pain

Within 3 days. All things that his mother fought so hard to prevent from occurring. Perhaps this is why he has decided to do it. His mother didn’t want it, so in an attempt to prove that he's his own person, he does all of the things that would cause disapproval from anyone but Jasper.

It's convoluted and awful, but in a way it makes sense. If he does what his family wants, they will always want more. They'll never want more of this.

Greg

When Steven said “You’re just like mum”, I was astounded by how offensively Greg took it. Astounded for a good reason. He realises that Rose wasn't an entirely altruistic person.

I think this actually shows an incredible amount of strength in Greg. I feel like Steven overreacted in the situation, but Greg has grown nonetheless.

He did get carried away though. He whisked Steven through his youth, without any regard for his feelings. Instead of sitting and talking, he tried to distract Steven. And that CD... context, Greg. Context.

Also, they way that he implies that Steven was “free” shows how little he helped bring up Steven after he moved in with the gems.

Anyway, that was a lot to unpack. I hope you enjoyed reading it! If you have any thoughts, let me know.
