I love how you reframed Greg's abduction in the context of going to the beach and taking a shell home with you because truly to Blue diamond what she did was as innocuous is that. But actually, even moreso, she believes that Greg is set to be killed with every single living life form on the planet any second so in her mind she's actually saving Greg from an ecosystem that is dying off, she's saving endangered animals
22:18 one thing I never noticed until now is the “oh shit” look on Greg’s face when Blue’s pearl says “my diamond” Then he immediately tries to switch from casual tone to “your highness” I always forget how much Greg knows about gems when I rewatch the series
At this point the cluster isn't a problem, but the Diamonds don't know that. They are still waiting for it to pop. From their perspective it might still take hundreds of years before they think about checking on it again.
@@SputnikSpyglassI made my own language based on gem language for a college course and something I added to my language was multiple past tenses so that they could talk about their large time scales easier, they're large time skills are a huge part that shaped their culture, its one of the reasons they seem so condescending to life forms, and it gives the impression of an eternal forever lasting empire
@@aashwinshaji8740 sure! So i made 3 past tenses, 1 is pastest tense, aka, if you want to talk about something that happened at least 1000 years ago. The next iteration was 100-1000 as this seemed like the timescale they would want for something like colonization efforts amd seeing progress over time. And then finally anything in the last 100 years is considered almost to have immediately happened. I really wanted to show what seems like s long time for us is a version of their second. To them, 10 min ago was just as recent as 10 years ago, cause time is looooong for them
20:35 Aww, y'all glossed over my favorite joke in the episode lol "Why doesn't she [Peridot] ever tell us anything? This is why we don't listen to her!"
That's what they should've been saying about Pearl, because SHE'S the one who never tells them anything, and that they shouldn't have listened to a word she said. You'll understand if you saw "a single pale rose".
31:49 funny you mention that. Connie hasn’t crossed paths with Lapis since Season 1 Episode 26, which I believe was Ocean Gem? It was when everyone went to fight Lapis to take back the ocean, and Lapis had Steven and Connie’s heads trapped in bubbles attempting to drown them. That’s the last time Connie saw Lapis, before the latter was stuck with Jasper for several months. Pretty wild huh 🤣
Blue Diamond's VA is Irish singer Lisa Hannigan, and once Steven's Dream premiered her CZcams videos became filled with "MY DIAMOND!!!!"-type comments.
Lisa Hannigan (Blue Diamond's VA) is such a legend - if y'all have never seen the film Song of the Sea I would LOVE to see y'all react to it. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a reaction channel do that movie before
Aaaaaaa! We’re starting to get to the *really* good stuff. Seeing these videos on my recommended have given me so much nostalgia, I just have to subscribe!
4:17 Pearl over here like "I refuse to engage your question." Almost surprised she doesn't do her 🙊tic that happens nearly every time the diamonds are mentioned
If we assume that the zoo orbits Saturn, which seems to be the case, that would mean that the Ruby ship has an STL cruising speed around a third that of the voyager probes. (STL = Slower Than Light) I’m not gonna check how long it’d take to get to nearby star systems (and how fast it’d have to be to get there in 70 years) tho, mainly because that’d be tedious
I can tell that Indi is very artistically sensitive and I love that for them. The scene with Blue Diamond is aesthetically gorgeous, and Lisa Hannigan delivers a fantastic performance. The hushed melancholia is enriched by her understated thespian bravura. I get goosebumps when the Diamond theme swells in the background. love love love when I see other people get that adoring look in their eyes that I get in the show’s best moments. It can be stirringly beautiful at times
when steven start cry in the ship, and say "dad, i want my dad!" i BROKE, after all those traumas, we never remember thst he still a children, he's 13 years only 😢

Besides, humanity IS already destroying the planet as we speak.

Of course! I forget what large time scales they live on.

Oh wow, could you talk about it in detail? This sort of this is so interesting. I'd love to hear about your take on those multiple past tenses

@@Ari.x22 And the in-universe animation studio gag.
@@caldercockatoo2234 LOLLL YES the greg art at the Korean studio i can't 😭

Steven missing his dad was one of the saddest moments I watched
😢😢😢💙💙💙
Yeah their bond is so sweet 😥

Yeah I can't wait to see you how they interact! I feel like there's not enough Connie in the show period.
Blue Diamond is the best character in the series and I stand by that. Best design, best aesthetic, best voice and best singing voice.

Okay see THIS is why I love this fandom
love her voice in song of the sea

Yes omg I'd love to see them react to that
7:51 no its cray they acc are confirmed hibiscus flowers 😭😭
I was right! 🥳
Fun fact: Ronaldo foreshadowed the human zoo back in the season 2 episode "Rising Tides, Crashing Skies"
Ooh I'll definitely have to check that out again!
Aaaaaaa! We’re starting to get to the *really* good stuff. Seeing these videos on my recommended have given me so much nostalgia, I just have to subscribe!
NOOOOO They didn't notice the 4th wall break joke where Korean animators are drawing Steven and Greg 😂
Ngl you guys are addictive to watch I found you guys on reddit and can't stop watching
4:17 Pearl over here like "I refuse to engage your question." Almost surprised she doesn't do her 🙊tic that happens nearly every time the diamonds are mentioned
She starts to hahaha
Steven trying to reach the turn off button is like me trying to force myself awake
It’s funny that Ronaldo already said something about a human zoo when he did that video about the getting rid of the crystal gems
Blue Diamond is full of emotions
💎💎💎💙💙💙
Blue Diamond sounding like a Elden Ring boss or NPC ngl, never realized that
Bro was thinking blue and pink could be in love when the diamonds are literally sisters!😭

Love your reactions!
Thanks for watching💙
*[Well... time to start a heist!]*
Blue diamond was actually saving Steven’s dad as Yellow diamond was going to destroy Earth, so she took him away to avoid him dying.
WOOOOOOO BLUE DIAMOND REVEAL!!
Hey do you remember when Ronaldo talked about a human zoo? :3c

omg I love the Appa hat omg
Finally! The real plot is starting
Blue diamond💎
How did steven survive that?😅 was it his gem side?
Probably diamond side, Being a diamond I suppose it has more resistance
Wait this episode . So did Indi already watch Steven universe or just she heard of this happening. Have you both not watched the show before or no?
I believe that Indi has watched the show (I want to say through S5, I know she hasn't seen the movie or future), but Sputnik has not
I think Indi watched it on TV while it aired so there's some episodes they didn't see
when steven start cry in the ship, and say "dad, i want my dad!" i BROKE, after all those traumas, we never remember thst he still a children, he's 13 years only 😢
engagement
More more more😊
