Finlay someone did it thx
Gem harvesting and the object gems might just be the same thing.
Isn’t it disturbing that gem experiments ended up in a hospital? How many of them just wonder into towns with people clearly having no clue what to do with them. The problem isn’t solved by Steven poofing a few when this is probably happening world wide
What if white diamond is just a super artificial intelligence made by the organic species. Then white diamond overthrew them or mind controlled them to get more information. After than white diamond felt lonely and made yellow and blue diamond, they had fun playing around but soon white diamond wanted to start her own civilization. Boom the gem race is born.
What if Russia was gone because that's where the Cluster was inserted into the Earths core!?!!?
The reason why Russia isn't on the map is because Russia banned Steven Universe, so they retaliated by banning Russia.
This made me laugh, not gonna lie
Ok cool so I’m not the only one who knew that 😅
Jude Lammirato Why was it banned in Russia?
Because of the LGBT+ elements.
Another example, Trini was made bisexual and Russia retaliated by making the new Power Rangers movie Rated R.
SEGASister Wow, that’s unnecessary
The scariest thing is watching official Steven Universe clips on CZcams and hearing the british guy yell *“WANNA SEE MORE AWESOME STUFF LIKE THIS??!?!”* after a quiet and emotional clip
True.
_oh my god _*_yes_*
Oml yes
Ikr
As a Brit I formally apologise for his abrasiveness
The first one about Russia is simple
Russia censors Steven universe
Steven universe censors Russia
Ayy
In Soviet Russia....
Wait, what's Russia?
I kinda figured as much
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Maya Plance LOL. The ultimate troll.
Another creepy thing that Rebecca confirmed was that when Steven's organic part dies Pink Steven is going to wander around looking for his other part
Really?
@@alexisalcoran8987 yes
What the that’s I mean I can’t wthh
ew i don't like that
Maybe PS will give up one day and start attacking/trying to force-fuse with any humans that look like him?
The most terrifying is that gems stay conscious even if they're shattered.
They never truly die
That’s horrible-
Ikr thats morbid
Purgatory
You must be talking about Houseki no Kuni. Because I don't remember any direct indication that gems in SU don't literally die when shattered.
@@sanjaymatsuda4504 it's explained in the art book. They stay conscious even when shattered, just fragments of their consciousness in each of their gem fragments. This is actually shown when Cluster experiments, when emerging, the separate conciousnesses attempt to separate like when that first one emerged infront of Steven and Garnet.
The diamonds: "Oh we are just SO low on resources! We need to colonize planets to continue to exist"
Also the Diamonds: *Creates gems to use as walls, decoratory statues and even a freaking comb*
you have unlocked decadent classism
*YOU'RE WALLS ARE ALIVE!!*
Your never alone-y as long as you are combing~
And there are equipment that can multiply anything, I don't remember the episode, but Onion takes and multiplies many things.
and literally have injectors to destroy planets just for fun, ex: spinels injector
The scariest thing i've seen in the show was what White did to Steven in change your mind
Peridot the scariest yet bravest thing I’ve seen you do is call Yellow Diamond a clod well at least through Tubetube
Omg I found a new comment
*_[hmm... nope, being left to die in outer space is scarier.]_*
@@Ruby-Doc but you're a gem! you can't die!
@@saltwatersweets *_[I can get hit by a meteorite and get shattered into a thousand semi-sentient shards]_*
I’d say the most disturbing concept is shattered gems themselves: they can never truly die, they’re just eternally looking for their other parts.
Shattering has just gotten a bit worser than before
Want to. Have to. Need to. Form. To be whole.
But what If they find their other peices
@@precipitately well steven shattered Jasper that one time, so I'm assuming gems did _try_ to put the pieces back together, it didnt work because they didn't have the diamonds "curing stuff" to complete the process like steven did
@@CarnivalClowm When?
Steven's birth must've looked weird as hell.
I could imagine Rose just exploding in a ball of light and Greg watching with a horrified expression, only to see Steven lying there after the light fades.
That, or I'm completely wrong and something different happens.
@@MrNope-oo9nh Rose exploding and Steven just appearing is how I've always imagine his birth going down too
.
Mr. WTF No.
Steven Shoots out of rose stomach, leaving a hole. Greg catches him, but he is still attached by the umbilical cord. Then roses body glows pink as she goes into Stevens gem via tracing the umbilical cord.
@@Radiolonestar I just imagine a cartoonish mushroom cap explosion and Steven just lying there completely unfazed by anything.
Or maybe Rose disappears by fusing with baby Steven
Hey remember that painting Garnet had to burn in Together Breakfast? The "paint" was made from grounded up gems. Its essentially the equivalent of painting with another person's blood.
Nah, it's the equivalent of painting with another person, period. Just smearing them onto a canvas while they're still technically alive.
damn i always wondered what it was and what would've happened if steven kept the pic of the painting
Where does it say that?
@@mx9226 what about burning it and the photo Steven took, why'd he have to do that?
Neoslayer PW They never said why Garnet had to burn it, but the episode showed that the smoke from the burn was extremely dangerous. It’s possible just the image itself is deadly.
On the Russia thing, its even more interesting when you consider in our world Russia has many precious gem stones...
*That are used for jewelry*
*they have gave them all life*
They blew up russia
It's because Steven universe is banned in Russia so they got rid of Russia lol it's not that deep
O' Bear it also censors the show
*_[SU's most terrifying concept: being left to float out into the endless nothingness of space for eternity]_*
Why is it so Scary?
Who hurt you?
Hi Doc
*Laughs in shattered*
Eventually, Ruby stopped thinking
The scariest is that during literally any moment in the show, any fight, any song, any conflict resolution, any moment both dramatic and light, Spinel is standing still in the garden, waiting for Pink to come back for her.
I þink you mean that's the saddest þing.
Cedar Franklin
😐 wut?
@@thegoodwitchluzura þ = th
Oddly enough I don't feel as bad for Spinel as I do for the Diamonds. These insanely powerful Goddess-Like Rulers that had the only off color of them, die, after she begged them so hard to not baby her. It's really sad when you think of it like their Baby-Sister or something.
😔 I will never be able to watch my favorite scenes again without thinking about just up there😭/nm
This makes you realize how messed up steven's life is, he's a kid and has been thru many terrifying stuff and many many people trying to kill him and everybody he loves, sprinkle some existencial crisis and boom you got yourself a traumatized child
Let's not forget that he's literally always been in his mother's shadow, from birth. He's been compared to his mother for his entire life by the Gems, even unintentionally. He's been unintentionally guided his entire *_life_* to take up the role she left. And it only got worse as he grew older because he became the sole person to keep the Crystal Gems together, to the point where he actively had to repress his own thoughts and feelings on everything he's going through just to make sure the others could still stand on their feet.
*And boom that’s a lot of damage*
But then he began to hone, a power all on his own. That he could feel growing stronger every day. And now he's saved the world not just that whole Galaxy's saved they did it!
There they are in the future.
Steven needing therapy for 7 minutes - CZcams
Have all of you been predicting growth pains?
The scary thing about the living walls isn't that they're watching you.
It's the fact that they're living, thinking beings, with personalities and whatnot, being used as nothing more than *living wall art.*
They don't even have a purpose like a soldier or a terraformer, they exist to be decoration.
But hey let’s make this brighter…they can have whatever form they want now in su future because yellow and change it
@@NotCrixio but for as long as they have inhabited home world they've been nothing but decoration, and what happens to them why they want to change the layout or decor?, yellow didn't have those powers back then, they would be obsolete, what happens to them, we're unsure
I've been thinking about this lately: if White fused with someone while mind controling them, let's say that it's possible, would that fusion be controlled by only her? Would it have traits of the other gems?
I kinda wonder if it's even possible for White to fuse with non-diamond gems, giant size difference and all.
@@matti.8465 Lol just imagine WD dancing with a gem as big as her hand 👌
@@matti.8465
Well, to be fair, Rose could fuse with Pearl, and White could shapeshift to a smaller size
@@turnipii4246 imagine a heaven beetle size WD with the giant gem on her forhead.
@@turnipii4246 when gems shapeshift their gem stays the same, a small gem turning bigger is possible but a big gem shapeshifting into a small being would just make them look ridiculous
Yes, this really puts into perspective how awful the Diamonds are.
Also, I thought the Russia thing was an inside joke, Since Steven Universe was getting censored in Russia for explicit LGBT content, they decided to turn the tables and censor Russia. This is also why Ruby's wearing a dress in the wedding, because she was made into a boy in the Russian dub,
GOTEM
Also, she looked terrific in that dress. Just from an aesthetic prospective, Ruby and Sapphire completely rocked that wedding.
@@YouthRightsRadical and garnet looked absolutely amazing
Rebecca Duggar the shady queen
Lol
Isn’t it disturbing that gem experiments ended up in a hospital? How many of them just wonder into towns with people clearly having no clue what to do with them. The problem isn’t solved by Steven poofing a few when this is probably happening world wide
What do you think the Crystal Gems spent the last few thousand years doing? The cleanup from the war and the corruptions is still an ongoing process. Now the gestated forced fusion experiments just got added to the todo list.
The Gems have warp pads that go to every continent, they can breathe under water and they're doing this for 5000 years...
Fr and plus the fact that they thought it was a patient from a car accident which means that somebody ran over it or something and then it was taken to the hospital somehow
Which means that jams and to these first fusions are just wandering around in the streets all over the Steven Universe earth and not just Beach city. Beach city might be one of the only cities that actually has Gems that aren’t all destructive and crazy but imagine The other earth residents just seeing a creature with colorful arms and legs chasing them down the street and not knowing what it is at all.
@@eho6380 and the only way to break them is through their gem but I’m actually trying to break up a full gem like the diamonds
I find the entire concept of being bubbled to be pretty creepy.
It's kinda like cryogenic freezing.
I dont think you're conscious when you're bubbled, it's more like closing your eyes and opening them again but you have no idea how much time has passed. Like when Peridot gets unbubbled she immediately thinks she's still in battle and basically picks off where she left off even though serval minutes or hours had passed. So its creepy but not too bad
I like to think gems are concious about being bubbled, and as they float, they somehow can see, and when rhey get set free they go blind till they reform quickly
Durg Dealer especially the gems that have been bubbled for years THOUSAND OF YEARS
It’s a basically imprisonment except your body is taken away and your soul is just there unable to move and you’re unable to get back into your body
When Steven possessed Lars it seemed like Lars had no real memory of what Steven did with his body.
I mean, that is how possession usually is in any media besides Gravity Falls.
yes because he was in steven's body steven also doesnt have memories from the time lars was in his body
@@ashadeofblue6815 I don't think Lars was in his Body, since Steven was just sleeping, I think Lars just...stopped being a conscious entity like the Watermelon Stevens when Steven possesses them
3:30 pink pearl asked what happened, which confirms that while being controlled she was just timed out
And later confirmed on steven universe future. 8000 years and blip, gone!
Ya mean PONK Pearl
@@cedartheyeah.justyeah.3967 Imao I'm liking this
@@AlphaEnt2 SHE WAS LIKE THAT FOR 8000 YEARS!? I thought it was just 6000!
Also: the kindergarten could have been inspired or be a reference to Junji Ito’s “The Enigma of the Amigara Fault”. It’s a horror manga about people finding body-shaped holes of themselves along the cavern walls. Then, feeling *really* compelled to climb into their corresponding holes, they are literally sucked in and never seen again
I mean, they're seen again, but not in the same shape
Ironically I just read that story
I thought someone said that was an explicit inspiration for the visuals.
Claire Holt I’ve searched the manga on google and oh my god it is extremely disturbing
I had those vibes
The most terrifying thing in steven universe is...
Snakes have no arms.
:0
NU-
I'm gonna have nightmares for weeks
mom im scared
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Imagine being shattered by another gem and finally hoping for peace.
Then a diamond forces a remainder of your gem to fuse with another shattered piece, to *experiment*
That in my eyes, is truly horrifing.
Literally a Pease of your mind is gone and u now have the peace of mind repaced
Basically somebody removes every body part and organ leaving only your soul and then sews you together with another soul, giving back your physicality but as a monster from the stuff of nightmares
There’s a fancomic about White doing this to Blue and Yellow. If you wanna read it, i think it’s on Tumblr.
@@andreeacat7071 I saw that it’s on CZcams and it has a dub
@@cmcphotography1 it’s basically like someone removed your soul from your body Took your body apart sewed your body parts to other people‘s body parts And then put your soul along with other peoples souls into that body kind of like human centipede it sounds horrible and painful
I like how no one pointed out that Peridot at some point said, “We are gems designed for conquering other worlds our bodies adjust to any planetoids.” And when you think about it, they are a military based society who only live to conquer. I think whatever designed the gems and diamond is the scariest thing.
their injectors are literally large mechanical viruses. Gems are a planetary disease.
The fact that the diamonds' palanquins are shaped like the carbon structure of a diamond. And injectors are of the same structure as a virus. So much thought yet so much fear when I learned of this
Fr like the injectors kind of look like a complex type of virus that inject its DNA into a host cell
Answer to the question on White Diamond Mind Control:
Pink Pearl said she forgot everything she did while she was mind controlled. Therefore, Steven probably had to retell one the most horrifying events in his life to Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and the other diamonds. Creepy...
*Or they never got told.*
Which is worse.
*SEcrET TEAM*
White Diamond removing Steven’s gem
Well, connie was there too 😅
If Steven's saliva brought unliving things to life, imagine all the food he eats coming to life just to die right after..
I think he has to be emotional to some degree for it to work otherwise he would've made cutlery and other things sentient because his saliva got on it
Vore 💕
@@roamingtheinternet8652 ew
God, imagine a cow forming inside Steven’s neck after he had a burger
THAT WOULD BE SCARY
"Russia is missing from Earth"
Stalin: *Cries in Slavic*
It do be like that sometimes.
Stalin isn't slav
No kazotsky kick. :(
Russia: hey let's censor Steven universe!
Rebecca And The Team: *hysterical laughing*
Love that profile
uno reverse card
The forced fusions remind me of the Amalgamates from Alphys' True Lab in a way
Makes sence
That was my exact thought first time when I watched the show
Thats true
Personally, I find the scariest concept in the show the fact that despite having absolutely no opposition, being a post-singularity intergalactic civilization, that we can see that so much of gem production is dedicated to creating soldiers. Even before the rebellion, the first batch of gems made were soldiers.
What are the Diamonds at war with? And now that Steven made them stop fighting, what are they going to do without the Gem Empire holding them back?
It could have just been to help expand the empire, like, if there are other aliens or whatever in the universe, then the diamonds probably created soldiers to act as mass to help colonise/destroy those other species
It's primarily organic lifeforms. Have you seen a home world gem with a organic lifeform together? Nope.
Something creepy that I don't think is talked about enough in SU is the whole "Blue making every gem in the room cry with her" thing. Something about that is just so unsettling to me, kind of like the mind-controllong thing.
Right! I was really glad when Steven pointed out how abusive that seemed when he was trapped in that tower thing with Connie. Of course Disney couldn't actually say the word abuse but "How many times did you lock her in here? How many times did you make her cry?" is very suggestive.
To this day, I know that if Blue Diamond didn't protect the Earth due to how much Pink loved it before she "died", everyone in Steven Universe would've been fucked years ago. Instant colonization, "Could've been great" wouldn't have been just a projection, it would've been reality. And Yellow was really close to convincing her to get over her grief too. Scary thought.
@@LoreCatanI agree but steven universe wasn't made by Disney
There were these two scenes on Lapis' debut. She was still on the mirror, when Garnet was coming close to Steven to take the mirror and then they scream "NOOO" repeatedly that really send me goosebumps and the other one where Steven asked Lapis on how to set her free, she responded using Garnet's face saying "OUT" while our perspective is getting eaten by Garnet. That really scared me 🥺
I figured gem harvesting had to do with stuff like lapis's mirror
My friend: “Steven universe isn’t scary!”
Me: *sends video to them*

Wait till they see Nightmare Hospital, Frybo, Onion Friend, and change your mind.
I always loved the horror elements in this series, especially forced fusion.
My costume this year was actually someone under White Diamond's control! I thought it was a pretty spooky concept and I was excited to put it together.
I was baby spinel for Halloween!
Ooo
Any pics of it?
That sounds like an epic costume!
Amazing! I kinda want to do White Pearl.
damn that's cool, if halloween still happens i want to be connie
I was Pink Diamond :>
I wonder how napolean was defeated in this universe.
*cuts to pearl just straight slaughtering the french while rose crushes napoleon in her hands*
+ETHAN Franco Which Rose Quartz are you talking about? The Rose we all know would have seduced the hell out of that little man. Our pink mom has a type. XD
Unless, by "crush", you mean.. *death by snu snu...*
@@KindredKeepsake nah, napoleon probably only knows the fife or something wimpy, she wants her rocker man
@@TheBigE9999 Napoleon.plays the cannon
@@KindredKeepsake *snu snu*
Napoleon was probably brought down by similar circumstances. If anything, Rose might have gotten with the corsican boy.
Also, the heavily inhabited parts of Eussia are still there, so he'd still have to invade Russia.
Most terrifying fates ever:
Being trapped alone in darkness for all eternity.
Being tormented for all eternity
Losing your independence
Actually, there’s some new science that shows that plants have feelings. They have some extent of sentience.
Yeah I don't get how people thought that they didn't have any emotions, they're alive to so why wouldn't they? They'd just be growing objects otherwise.
SuperStarWhale good comparison
They have emotions, and feelings. Give the plant love and it will grow. If you don't, then it will die. Keep in mind your using all the things it needs. Like water and sunlight.
I wouldn't be surprised if plants could talk to eachother.
@@Creatorsan Plants CAN talk to each other via root system. It's very cool how they can do that. They mostly use it to send nutrients to other plants in distress. :)
Kieran Vreeland yep,that’s why grass give off some kind of smell after you cut them to tell insects “YO,GTFO IM BEING CUT!!!” and they also give off some kind of frequency too being in pain after cut.
If the Gems are AI, does that mean Greg literally mated with a sentient diamond powered flashlight that gave birth to a child that lacked normal organs functions which was replaced by a pink diamond that can easily be removed putting him in grave danger in which if the diamond was removed, it turns into a hyper pink beserker that will try to find it's host that is dying because what is considered their lungs, nerve system, and heart is walking robotic-like towards them?
EDIT: I meant an a in flashlight because this turned this comment into something crazy.
So Stephen dyed pink Stephen was just stand over his body forever or something
I think the scariest concept is that all of the gem shards will never be found. Blue Diamond was called "A Shatterer" in some of the episodes, which means gems are being shattered all over the universe, meaning there's no way they could locate them all. Even if they did find the pieces, they get lost easily and those gems are lost out there to suffer in insanity.
Gems have great technology, in the movie you see peridot was able to make robots by herself and she’s just a peridot..I’m sure they can make some locator or something
#1 is actually pretty easy.
Russia censored several hints of Ruby and Sapphire being a gay couple.
Russia censores a gay couple, Rebecca censores Russia.
That seems like the most legit theory in my opinion.
Steven all most die in the First season because his Gem is ageing him based on his Mind set
Well for him to die he'd have to have the mindset of a dead person and thats well
mimichu he all most Died to The gems
None of them knew what was happing with him
@@nuggetthecatplaylist I mean shaking him might have worked
mimichu Maybe
Either way it was Scary
I almost died of a stroke trying to read those first few words
*Speaks about Russia missing*
The water gap between Central and South America:
Am I a joke to you?!
By real! Nobody mentions this!
I noticed and thought that was were Russia was:
I think it’s pretty scary how white diamond removed Stevens gem.
“It’s the equivalent of you dying and some rich guy using your organs to live forever!”
That’s the plot of Get Out, my guy
*a literal horror movie*
Also, when there where multiple Stevens in the episode they have the time hourglass, the original Steven, who started the duplicating, disappeared with all the others. The Steven from the past, was the one replaced in the current. So, the person we see today, is basically not the same Steven we’ve seen in the episodes beforehand. Creepy.
Nice theory, but can you prove it?
5:04 i mean, The Enigma of Amigara Fault is one of Junji Ito's creepiest story for a reason. they even reference it.
The one terrifying Steven Universe concept not mentioned because SU:F hadn't come out yet, is Steven's worsening mental state.
You could notice what was happening to Steven in the original series, though.
Or you couldve determined atleast the effects of those events.
👌
Gem shard is like the amalgamate from undertale, they are being experimented on, they ended up broken and combined with other people's mind and physical appearance, and they can never be fixed or be their whole person again
I think one of the scariest parts of SU is the nature of Pearls. Like, imagine being created with built in stalkholm syndrome, making you eternally infatuated with the being who you where built to be an accessory/servant for. Like, look at Pearl. How much of her loyalty to Rose was genuine respect, and how much of it was her programmed infatuation with her diamond?
I also wonder if some of built-in loyalty and love for Greg was carried within her mind even after regaining her memories..
The other pearls don’t show as much love for the diamonds
The living buildings are something I've been afraid of before seeing it on Steven Universe.
I remember watching Unico in the Island of Magic as a kid. My mom rented it for me thinking "My daughters will love this, just look at this cute unicorn".
Only Mom didn't know the plot was about a young girl who see's her older brother turn their parents, village and later every one in the world into block people. Then she watches the block people walk onto a boat and head to an island where they become part of a giant castle of the villain.
Let me scare you... Did you know that strawberries and roses are from the same family? No? Because now you know! "but, Erico, what does this have to do with Steven Universe?"
Remember that battlefield full of giant strawberries? Those strawberries may have already been rose feet made by rose in an attempt to erase the heavy past of that place, or worse, rose could have tried to heal the corrupted gems with her tears but she couldn't, so the roses grew where her tears fell
And then buddy guy eat one
Ya know, I thought that the white diamond mind control was scary for a different reason:
You through it was scary since it’s controlling sentient being against their will,
*I thought it was scary since all the mind control victims were T posing.*
the first time we were introduced to a fusion mutant, I was actually horrified. I don't know what it was- but something about forced fusion made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable and made me want to take a short break from the show lol
No mention of the red blip directly in the middle of the empty space Russia was in?
Hacknerds sea spire
so imagine you've fought as a crystal gem in the gem war, and just as you defeat them all, just as you are celebrating with your friends so excited "we won!"
and then you see the diamonds.
a bright blinding light follows
and your entire form is filled with pain as you see your friends turning into monsters
you start losing control of your own mind
2:26 you know what's scarier, if blue diamond hasn't redeemed to steven yellow would problably use the Cristal gems to make a cluster 😐
what if their creator betrayed white diamond & that’s why they all hate organic life
My question is, is that are there other gems in other continents or countries besides where Steven is 🧐
Yes, there are. There are warps across the globe that the crystal gems have traveled to. I think it was shown in the episode where the founder of a library traveled across the world and discovered and documented the various gem locations around the world and I also think Jamie did a play on it once. Although, I'm solely referring to the first 5 seasons of the show where Steven and the crystal gems bubbled corrupted gems.
okay can you PLEASE talk about how White Diamond doesn’t have mind control. she has explicit said “i don’t want to spread my uninhibited self so thin” meaning she physically inhabits other gems which also explains why they are drained of color and have the same voice. mind control would be them using their own voice with her words
the part where steven has that dream and its cheerful and all but then he opens the door and lapis is there always scared me for some reason
One of the best explanations for all this I've seen on how a gem could plausibly exist- they're a crystalline supercomputer core so high tech and organic in function they're literally grown. This core is surrounded in a cloud of microscopic nano forms used largely for rapid construction. That cloud is why a bubbled gem can't reform, it's locked away from the raw material it needs in order to physically rebuild itself.
This is hypothetical technology at such an advanced level it actually surpasses biological systems on earth. Yet, with such streamlined internal systems, they'd certainly qualify as organisms. Just not water based, they're completely dry and clearly well adapted for space colonization. Essentially, if they weren't in human form,(which would've made much more sense) they'd be like a sentient space amoeba made of soft crystal skin able to mimic anything it sees in every way but color. Which is a strange weakness in that they seem to only be able to construct variables of their own crystal structure.
The most scariest part was the finger cats
I dont really like that Hospital episode. For unknown reason
I'm still disturbed by the fact that Steven can grow *sentient beings* out of his body.
the finger cats and the force fusions in the hospital gave me fricking nightmares
I was unable to sleep for quite a long time after the hospital episode and the barn episode
You forgot about the part where Steven was basically alone in that ship going faster than the speed of light and the gems wereagging behind the ship, not able to help him and he had to build up all his strength to press on that screen... What would happen if he couldn't, why would the gems/diamonds even add that feature. Would the gems/diamonds be in that predicament if they were sitting down... What if it was a different human in that spot than Steven, it's crazy! Especially thinking about it, glad they're ok now though!
Even though Steven universe was usually wholesome and funny I have to admit there were some pretty scary points and pretty deep topics being represented
4:22 Not to be rude, but it's not a fungus. The "mind control" fungus you're talking about is the Cordyceps fungus, the fungus that forces ants to climb to "perfect spots" on trees to split their head open and release their spores. The mind control animal you're talking about here (The one that forces its victims to drown) is actually a hairworm. They force their victims (usually crickets) to jump into water to complete their life cycle. Once again, no hate. Just wanted to point it out.
I’ve always imagined Steven’s birth was like.. he came right out of her you know what and it just slowly made rose turn inside out, into Steven.

i've always imagined her doing it alone, maybe in a temple room or something, and her body just kind of disappearing in a flash of light and her gem transforms into steven
I presumed that when Rose went into labor, she just collapsed in pain, and asked everyone to leave her alone while she basically poofed herself. And then once she was poofed, queue trying to form into Rose, but instead the gem forms into baby Steven.
@@lixonzito2481 or maybe rose told pearl to poof her so rose could regenerate and then turn into steven.
Same
The living walls concept reminds me a lot of the "colonials" from _All Tomorrows_ which was basically where cubes of sentient flesh and eyes were sewn together to make a flesh quilt and forever suffer. Big yikes.
Take out your tissues, cause I'm bout' to ruin your day with this "fun" fact about Steven Universe Future:
(spoiler warning, of course)
Pumpkin is dead.
And it's been confirmed.
When why how!
@@weird0141 The movie, it was said in an interview where she said that pumpkins dont live forever
WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID I READ THAT I AM CRYING
And also now we know how "volleyball" got the cracks on her eye...
You just got rattatwong’ed she appeared in a newer episode with her new family :3
4:41 I tend to think it should be Gem Production, not Reproduction. As we were taught in The Classroom Gems, they are made and not born.
What do you guys think?
Though that does get me thinking, how did Steven come out? If he tried to make a kid would he have to give up his gem or will he be ok?
The explanation for the first one
*RUSSIA CENSORED STEVEN UNIVERSE SO STEVEN UNIVERSE CENSORED RUSSIA*
This show has sooo many incredible, unique, and terrifying concepts. I wish they had explored the Diamond's powers more, like,Steven/Rose/Pink can ressurect the dead, and the person/animal obtain powers like teleportation and they become a portal to the Pink Dimension, another dimension created out of nowhere, imagine what the other diamonds can do.
Cluster gems are terrifying and tragic. One of the worst atrocities homeworld has committed. They are like a horrible mockery of fusion.
0:05 oh damn I only just noticed that pine tree...
DIPPER IS THAT YOU? XD
😯
7:48 that looks similar to when stevens gem was rejuvinated......
Wait does that mean that those shards were rejuvinated so much that they lost the abilitie to form?
My favorite creepy thing about the Kindergartens is the fact that the things that plant the gems look very much like a type of microscopic parasite.
NO WAY, YOU’RE RIGHT. I remember being in biology, studying living and non living stuff, and saying that I already saw one of the virus structure on the board somewhere in my home country (which was some years ago). I thought it looked like a machine Phyneas and Pherb created (I don’t remember what it was called, but it was sentient). Nonetheless, it looks more like the kindergarten’s thing. Jeez that makes that sht creepier
@MustyDP Yeah! That’s the name
Would you really put the plant sentience in the same level as mind control? The plant is hijacked and given sentience, but it's not really an empty host to control, it's just given sentience. Watermelon Stevens could create their society.
In fact it's enhanced.
I love how your profile pic is Flowey and you're talking about sentient plants.
Am I the only person that absolutely loved the scene where pink Steven and human Steven hug and dance around in front of white diamond after she rips out his gem? .... just me?
I loved that scene too
Imo the most terrifying one is forced fusion that’s like being forced to go to hell without any chances to do something good
Funfact: The Kindergarden was based of a Junji Ito manga, the manga is about holes that appear after an earthquake shaped exactly like people who live near it. The holes seemed endless and people would enter their holes, and never comeback out.
0:50
rusia:*censors steven universe*
steven universo : you censor me take this ¡BAM! *russia disapears*
4:19
me: well then the bugs in my grandmas pool have that fungus everywhere
not just fungi can do that look up horeshair worms if you want to see an animal variation on the theme.
I think “gem harvesting” is where gems are liquified and put back in the injectors. This explains how we get “fusion” single gems like Jasper. Also could explain why emerald was so desperate to catch lars and his crew (fluorite)
With the plant concept-
One of the new enemies coming out is going to be cause by this
What seems even creepier to me about the living walls is that they cannot move. They're essentially in a similar state to what Spinel was in, but for eternity.
the scariest for me is forced gem fusion experiments that's terrifying
I'd be more scared about a hospital that doesn't see a problem with a person with multiple arms, no head, and no heartbeat.
2:58
Ngl.... That would make for a _really_ cool book or movie. Like, people start going missing, while this super rich and influential person becomes more and more attractive and healthy. Eventually, it turns out that the rich person is using the missing people to make themselves look and feel better through terrifying means.
I dunno, that just sounds super cool to me in, like, a terrifying way. :D
Have you heard of Get Out?
One of the first! But it's lonely without anyone to celebrate with...
I'll celebrate with you!
We’ll celebrate with you!
Me from the future: hOw abOut sTeven mUrdEriNg sOmeoNe :)
I find the fact that the original idea behind their Mass corruption during the war on earth was to *Destroy* every gem left on the planet to be quite terrifying. They were fully complacent destroying EVERY gem on a planet, and the corruption was only a side effect. It makes you wonder what it looks like when all four diamonds do it, considering one of Pink's secret powers is able to crack gems
We know from earlier episodes that the rooms in the temple are all interconnected so if a fusion's room disappears, then it's likely that the people in it will be forced into another gem's room as the space shifts around them
lol the scariest part in my opinion is when steven threw up rose's hair in his dream
Wait that was rose's hair? I thought it was just a rose
Imagine a corrupted fusion experiment
I guess part of #3 was answered in "Volleyball"... unless Volleyball is just suppressing those memories in *addition* to all the psychological trauma...
I hate the idea of gems being AI. Them being rocks with sentience just makes more sense. Them being robots sounds like it contradicts everything.
AI can be sentient too. Also, this was confirmed by the creators of the show.
Yeah I know it’s canon. I hate it anyway.
They aren’t *robots.* It can still be magical in nature, but it makes sense for them to have been artificially created to colonize planets, and then their creators all went missing and no Gem remembers it.
Gems potentially having a creator doesn’t bother me too much.
The gems are rocks, a hologram but with mass. They are not built or constructed, they’re made with injection...stuff...and incubate in the ground like a plant. They’re magical. The show has always explained its world with magic. Suddenly deciding they’re robots...it just throws a rock in the world building.
About their sentience: I have always disliked the idea of AI being sentient. You can make a robot problem solve, but you can’t give a machine a soul. The emotions of the gems are far too complex to be created artificially. This is why I wouldn’t _want_ them to be robots. I’ve already talked about why I don’t _think_ they’re robots.
The creators can do whatever they want. That doesn’t mean I have to like it.
Lianna Pfister Dude, what? No one is saying they’re literally robots. The theory is that Gems were designed (likely by a predecessor) species) to be intelligent working beings. The information stored in their gems is thought to be stored magically, but similarly to a computer, and the evidence supports this. Crack a gem, and the Gem’s form becomes “corrupted” (for lack of a better word; it’s not in the same way as canon Corruption). Shatter a gem, and the shards can still form the specific parts they’re coded for.
You say this bothers you but guess what? Human beings and all other known life work the same way. Our cells produce certain proteins based on the sequences in our DNA. We function based on an organic computer code. Break off a portion of DNA, and the proteins for which that gene coded are no longer formed. And beyond just DNA, all of our thoughts are merely sequences of neurons firing in repetition-again, each thought has a neural code. We *are* organic, natural “robots.” The concept of a “soul” is unscientific and therefore irrelevant to the conversation.
The point of this is that the Gems’ being artificial intelligence (even magical in nature) doesn’t make them less sapient. It doesn’t mean they aren’t *people.* And it doesn’t make them robots in the same way humans have created robots and computers.
