what a lovely thing to revisit
You actually need to watch the series and movie, its so weird to see how much questions you have to the songs and everything, its not bad just weird because you react to movies and everything and just for someone who saw it whole its so mind blowing to see that.
Day 7 of asking for highest rated episode of Ninjago
I hope you continue the series, even if its just on your own time. Season 1 is the weakest, so it's sad to know you dropped it in season 1. I hope you give it another go
you should revisit the show
PLEASE DO MORE SU
Fusion is an inherently queer concept. It is neither this nor that but all. It is sexual and platonic, romantic and familiar and entirely a reflection of the relationship of the people involved. If the relationship is romantic, the fusion will be an embodiment of that. Ruby and Sapphire are not children, they are two grown people in love and this is why the song sounds so evocative of sexual themes. Especially with regards to the feelings of many queer people when they discover themselves for the first time and are unsure whether a pursuit of this love is worth the stigma or shame one might experience.
Yea. But it also works well with non queer people who just fall in love for the first time. So it can kinda be shortend down to just adults in general falling in love for the first time.
I really like how you worded this!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :D
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST EXPLANATION OF FUSION I HAVE EVER SEEN!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!
I don't see how any of this explains how fusion is inherently queer.
@@tariqthomas9090 Look up Jord and find his fusion short. It's the best explanation there is.
11:41 matt they're not children, those two are like a couple millennium year old gems
with really high pitched voices 🤣🤣
yeah definetly not kids lmao
I thought the rubies were younger, like the three were made specially to protect Sapphire
I think Matt said it metaphorically, they are kids as in like experiences, as in how they react to the world, they are still dicovering unknown things...
@@andres_david25 You mean Ruby & Sapphire? Pretty sure they are voiced by adults and Sapphire’s voice ain’t that high.
Steven Universe is DEFINITLY a show where you need context of the episodes to truly understand and feel these songs.
so Ruby and Sapphire ran away from their duties and betrayed the Diamonds by fusing, so they live on earth now exploring its beauty
"Queer young officers from the army of an eugenistic expansionist state meet each other in the field
Fall in love, betray their fascist home to live as refugees in the primitive land they were supposed to conquer
Eventually they lead the guerrilla faction that will fight the same fascists they once came from"
This could've been the sinopses of the HARDEST A24 film to ever be released
But it's from a show that aired on cartoon network
When I was 13 years old, I used to cry a lot over S.U.'s soundtracks. Now, I'm 21 and still crying... it's just so comforting. ❤
I am laughing at many of them, especially on "You can make a change," because I keep expecting Big Jack Horner to pop up saying "That was weird."
When I was 5, I used to cry a lot over SU soundtracks, now I'm 13 and still cryin💔
You understand it one way when we were 13 but now as am adult you see the songs in another way. A double wammy
The show and its soundtrack did that to me when I was 14, and now that I'm 22 it STILL does that to me 😭 🥰
Dang you've been crying for 8 years nonstop, your lung capacity is impressive
"Sp- sp- sp- sp- spine- spine- spin- sp- sp- spi- sp- s- uh- spinella- spinellie- sp- sp- th- th- th- the- th- th- th- th- the one with the heart ears" - Mathew McKenna 2024
How many edits did it take you to get that perfect 😅
@@sillyface6950 Only 1, actually! I forgot the space between the dash and his name.
Lmao 😭
To clear up the Garnet thing:
Ruby and Sapphire are genuinely in a forest, not in a 'fusion dimension'. Ruby says "and now your here forever" because fusion is extremely illegal and they had to run away together. We are unsure what happens during fusion.
Another point- fusion can be intimate, but it doesnt have to be. Fusion means loves, but any form of love- Garnets is likely both intimate and romantic love, but Steven fuses with his dad platonically.
Hope this helped! ❤
To clarify, fusions were allowed but most only for fighting on battle and JUST with two gems of the same type and class. Ruby is a lower class of gem, Sapphire is a RARE gem and an court gem, very important since they predict the future, Ruby are supposed to be just their guards and not even speak with them, the fact they fused even by accident was scandalous and unforgivable, Blue Diamond would shatter them for it, that's why they ran away
@@taisgabriela9465 this is also true! thank you :)
Interesting little fact:
Right after the reveal of rose quartz, actually being pink diamond.
(something that the fandom basically guessed at all the way in season 1, but the show creators told them that they were wrong.)
The next couple of episodes were about Ruby and sapphire getting married.
This was considered “problematic” in other countries because they didn’t want gay relationships portrayed on television. And had even banned a couple episodes of Steven universe previously because of those very depictions.
Those countries even went so far as when they got voice actors for the characters they made a point of picking a man to do the voice of Ruby, because they figured they could more easily pass her off as male.
In response, the show creators decided to basically see just how far other countries would take this by having several episodes about a lesbian wedding.
(They even went so far as to make sure that Ruby was the one in the dress)
That very episode was a key piece of the narrative to.
Because blue and yellow diamond show up to destroy the crystal gems and they only stop because Steven was able to tell them that he was essentially pink diamond now.
The response of those countries against LGBTQ content?
They banned all the episodes in the arc, leaving a lot of the audience in those countries scratching their heads over the fact that suddenly blue and yellow diamond are on earth and they’re calling Steven pink diamond.
You can say all you want about how Steven Universe has aged poorly or whatever.
But we all have to agree that they really knew how to tell homophobes to shove it up.
@@gtbgabe1478fr. Didn’t they remove Russia from a globe in a shot too cus of the homophobes or smth?
MATHEW COMING OUT WITH A STEVEN UNIVERSE VIDEO RIGHT WHEN I GOT BACK INTO STEVEN UNIVERSE 😭
SAME OH MY GOD
SAME
SAME
And here's your reminder that this show is over 10 years old now 😭
whyd you type it twice
16:56 So the thing about Rose/Pink was that she was a the youngest diamond (pretty much one of the 4 leaders of their species) and unlike the other three she hadn't gotten her own planents yet until she eventually got to conquer earth for herself.
Then she discovered that killing earth was not good thing and kinda sucked and tried to shut it down but the other diamonds didn't listen so she made a new identity for herself (Rose) and fought against the invasion that way. they eventually won but at the cost of a lot of lives.
She never told anyone she used to be the one who conquered earth to begin with except for pearl. She also did a lot of bad things in her past and the Diamonds as a whole are just a prime example of a toxic family as well be eventually she grew into a good person in the end.
Eventually pearl reveals this to everyone and they all get conflicting feelings about her.
though to be truthful the things she did as rose even tward the end before she gave up herself to birth steven.. she was still kinda the worst
@@Spekor Fr, she made Steven’s entire existence a moral quandary. She had a child because she knew she couldn’t change herself and humans could. The problem with that is that SO many people depended on her to be there for them. Steven grew up without a Solid mother figure(he had to fix the gems’ emotional pain so it took a bit before they were got GOOD at being parents, I’m not saying they were BAD just not experienced). Spinel ended up totally losing her only friend because of Steven’s existence, the diamonds became hollow, and so much more.
Steven has to LIVE with that burden thanks to his mom.
Ruby and Sapphire aren't kids, they're just small. That's just what Ruby's actual voice actress sounds like 😭
It was always more then JUST a kids show. And I'm not ashamed, its songs have made me cry more than once. It hit deep and honestly helped me see what unhealthy relationships look like and how we all grow. As human beings.
Context of no matter what is basically amethyst had amnesia
The SU movie is an amnesia story. The end of no matter what was when amethyst got her memory back.
"Wait, is this them inside Garnet?"
That would be REALLY cool but no, this is them when they first accidentally fell onto Earth and now they have no way to return to Homeworld
So, the thing with Steven’s mom:
She was Pink Diamond, a member of the ruling class of the gems. She was kind of the little sister of the ruling quartet of Diamonds alongside White, Blue and Yellow; the others all had “colonies”, planets they had taken over and harvested the resources from. After Pink Diamond threw a tantrum about wanting to be taken more seriously she was given her first colony: Earth
While overseeing the colonization of Earth, she realized that what they were doing was wrong: in taking the planet’s resources they left it hollow, destroying the natural life there. She tried to back out of the colonization but her sisters wouldn’t let her, thinking that she had just underestimated the work load and was being childish again.
Pink realized that the other diamonds didn’t take her protests seriously and also that other gems treated Diamonds vastly differently; she created the persona of Rose Quartz, a quartz soldier, to more freely move about on Earth among other gems, eventually starting a revolutionary movement. The only being who knew that Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz were one and the same was Pearl, who was working for Pink Diamond and had helped her come up with the alter ego (also working for is a bit misleading, as Pink owned Pearl).
Pink made Pearl swear never to tell anyone the truth and then faked her own death, likely under the false belief that with no Diamond to rule over it that the planet would be free. Instead the other three diamonds attacked the planet, turning nearly every Gem on it into the monsters we see the Crystal Gems fighting and sealing away in the early part of the series; the only ones to be unscathed were Rose, Pearl, and Garnet who took shelter from the blast under Rose’s shield.
We learn later that the three remaining diamonds didn’t know about the corruption and had been under the impression that the blast they’d used had destroyed the Earth Gems completely, which is why they pulled their forces back: they hadn’t been beaten by the rebellion, they thought they’d won.
Rose Quartz lived with Pearl, Garnet, and later Amethyst for thousands of years on Earth, never revealing her origin to the later two, preferring the life she built over the one she’d been made for. Eventually she met Greg Universe and with him created Steven, ending her own existence in the process-a conscious choice on her part. She may have believed that Earth was completely safe from the Diamonds at that point; she may have had some knowledge of the potential for them to return. Like the characters, we the audience aren’t given a clear answer.
Steven’s mother is a very interesting and complicated character with many flaws and a lot of mystery still; we never see her for herself, not really, only as other people perceived her with the possible exception of a few fragmented dream segments.
Idk where I’m going with this, except to give some kind of context for all of the thoughts Steven and the others are dealing with during “Let’s Only Think About Love”, which takes place shortly after it’s revealed to Garnet, Amethyst and the others that arose Quartz was not entirely who they had believed her to be.
The "now we're here forever" is just about them being stuck on Earth for the first time. It is talking about their first fusion, just the whole thing's a flashback.
"I love how real they sound, like no Broadway singers"
THIS IS SO REAL. It gives so much like authenticity to it and idk their voices are so beautiful
This is hilarious to me, because three of the Diamonds are... literal Broadway stars. But we also don't hear them very often, so that's still kinda fair.
@@trisofalltrades YEAH LMAO that's true
Meanwhile Deedee Magno Hall as Pearl
@@GK-dk7ip but she still does it really well!
Seeing Mathew trying to figure out Familiar is really fun because every new conclusion that he got to I was like “No but actually yes.” Like everything that you said was correct, it was just missing a crucial detail that is the biggest spoiler in the entire show XD
Me watching the thumbnail with Steven in the wedding suit: "NOO THAT SONG HAS SO MANY SPOILERS 😭😭😭😭"
then I remembered he spoiled himself a lot already
17:40 “almost like a desperate to be optimistic” is such a understatement when you watch Steven universe future
Ruby and Sapphire can separate from being Garnet willingly whenever they choose to, but it can also be forced to happen if they disagree about something too much, or if something happens to Garnet that causes them to revert to their gem form.
Ruby would have been shattered (executed) for fusing with Sapphire. (Sapphire would have been forgiven since she's practically nobility). Instead, Sapphire chose to grab Ruby and run for it, essentially leaving the two of them in exile.
The song Familiar is about Steven realizing that the position he's in now feels familiar. And as he's now mistaken for being his mother because he has her gem, he's realizing his mother, who has made some poor decisions, was just like him. She would want the attention of her family, but unlike the Crystal Gems did for Steven, they never dropped everything to spend time with her, or stopped to listen to her.
This song is Steven realizing the hurdles he jumped through are identical to the ones his mother went through, and relevant to his current situation.
More Steven universe?! Love to see it!
12:00 As someone with DID who has experienced fusion and the rare splitting apart that comes from a bad fusion your brain… you don’t… your not you when you fuse… it’s this person who feels connected to you but more like your their parent… but also you share their memories… you get to see things in a new light… in a new way. Your new and you look at the two people who made you and it’s like instead of having any biological upbringing it’s all social upbringing. You are raised in a minute on the memorys of those before you. But you aren’t inclined to behave one way or another… you are the child of their experiences and that’s all your biology doesn’t come into play… but when you unfuse… when you return to you… you both share those memories… you both know what happened… and you are innately closer because of it… your still you… but your perspective on the world can never be closed off again… part of you still feels bound to that person. Like you are still a singular. Once you have fused that bond… that connection… even if it breaks… even if the fusion was unstable… you know each other in a way that is so intrinsic that it takes great hardship to sever that bond. It’s something that is like a soul bind in other media… and when you sever (unfuse) you still feel connected. Bound.
Some context
The first song, ‘No Matter What’ is in the Steven Universe movie and Amethyst was…reset we’ll just say. Yes her memories were reset
Sapphire and Ruby on earth in their song. Ruby says theyre here forever because they were banished for being a mixed fusion.
Fusion is an incredibly intimate thing to gems, it's like the pinnacle of trust and an allegory for relationships in general whether it be paternal, romantic, or platonic. Gems don't have physical forms like people, as much as they are a rock with a projected body of hard light, fusion between two gems is a melding of that light to make a new being that is a mix of both of them. (Steven is a sticky subject because he also has like physical mass from being half human and presumably hard light mixed in from being half gem so he can fuse with both)
As for Rose...
She was the leader of the gem rebellion for Earth, a planet where the diamond authority (the leaders of the society the gems come from) planned to make a colony that would eventually destroy all organic life. The problem is (and spoilers for the shkw obviously) Rose is the rebellious alias of Pink Diamond, the diamond who specifically was in charge of the colonization of the earth. She decided after it started that she no longer wanted to do it but for a variety of reasons she herself didn't feel able to just stop the colonization, instead faking her death in hopes of scaring the diamonds away from the planet and hopefully ending the war that had started in the meantime. This instead corrupted a lot of gems (making them not conscious enough to keep their forms from anything but monsteorus forms without speech) and the war also resulted in countless shattered gems on both sides.
This among other upsetting things occur from the rebellion to Steven's birth, but regardless yeah Let's Think About Love really does feel like a "hey we could think about and process everything new we've learned and everything we could have done differently before now but how about instead we look forward and at least for just today let's think only about the love between two loved ones as they get married"
I love Steven universe it's such a good show about emotions and grief, even with a character who has mental health and emotional issues up to the finale, the movie, and the sequel spin off series
11:42 they aren't kids.
This IS a throwback 😭
Man I love all of these Steven Universe songs
STEVEN UNIVERSE VIDEO IN 2024??? I'M SO HAPPY
ME TOO
Steven Universe music is always a gem to listen to
Random fact: Imposter Potato is a plant in the Plants vs Zombies franchise
Praise the sheen! Oh praise the sheen!
Eternally shiny and chrome!
Yay! I HIGHLY recommend finishing the show. Hopefully not too much has been spoiled for you already through the songs. Either way, happy to see SU again! ❤️❤
It would be really cool to see you react to the full story, even if it's just through watching all the songs in order, or maybe a recap, cuz there's a lot that happens that I think would be interesting to talk about.
Steven's voice actor Zach Collison has an album that is absolutely amazing. You should totally check it out.
in The Answer (the second song) that was the first time Ruby and Sapphire ever fused. It's important context that in gem society fusion of two different gems is basically unknown, the only times gems ever fuse is with other gems of the same type, and Rubies are common foot soldiers whereas Sapphires are used for predicting the future and are quite rare. So Ruby has fused plenty of times but only with other Rubies whereas Sapphire has never fused full stop. Regarding what gems experience when they fuse it's dealt with a fair amount in the series. Basically they are greater than the sum of their parts, they're still in there but they're kind of components in someone new.
EDIT: Also, they aren't kids, they're hundreds of years old.
Tysm for taking my reccomendations! I loved the reaction
For some explanations
In Something Entirely New, it was a flashback of when they were first getting to know each other. Where they are from (Home world), fusing between gems is highly looked down upon, and fusing in general is looked down upon if the fusion isnt doing anything useful with their combined size and strength. Its most likely a metaphor for interracial couples or same sex couples. Thats why they are so shocked abt it, like "and you hadn't before?" "Of course not! When would i have ever?"
Fusion is a type of metaphor for any kind of relationship, whether its familial, platonic, toxic, and in their case its romantic.
As described in the show by garnet: Sapphire and ruby might aswell be names for her left arm and her right.
My guess is that If the fusion is unstable, it does seem more like two people trapped in one entity and able to talk to each other, and if the fusion is too unstable, like if they just cant work with each other, then they would unfuse.
Although yes, they can unfuse at will.
For some explanation abt steven's mom (this definitely has HUGE spoilers in she show so read at your own risk):
Pink diamond was neglected by the other 3 diamonds. They made her feel like she wasn't important even though she was basically one of the 4 diamonds, who basically were conquering the galaxy. Pink diamond only had one colony that they were invading all to herself, earth. Although she started to realize how much life was on earth and she started to appreciate it. She disguised herself as a Rose Quartz to go down and see more of the earth. Eventually she tried to convince the other diamonds to stop the colonization, but they just told her to finish what she started. So, Rose Quartz started a rebellion and basically fought against her own armies along with the other diamond's armies, while convincing others to join said rebellion (others such as garnet, after they were cast out for fusing.) Later on, she and Pearl decided to fake Pink diamond's death so that she can live on perminantly as rose quartz. And Pink Diamond's last order to Pearl before becoming rose quartz was "we will never speak of this again." Pearl was physically unable to tell anyone about it for over 5000 years.
Then 5000 years later she met steven's dad and they fell in love. They had steven, but because gems cannot exist without their gems, when steven was born, he had Rose's gem so rose kinda just stopped existing outside of her gem.
And in the movie, yes, Amethyst had lost her memories. Spinel also lost her memories of ever being mad at them which was why she was so happy and going along with them.
YES! I *JUST* rewatched the entire series about a week ago, it’s great to see you listen to these again!!
Steven Universe songs will never not make me so happy when I listen to them. Truly a treasure for me to experience such amazing music as a kid.
starting the video… STEVEN UNIVERSE FOR LIFE BRO
If you want to know about Garnet, there is an episode called 'The Answer' I feel like you could enjoy to learn a little more about her and what happened with Ruby and Sapphire. Is very cute!
Contexto for the songs from the movie: Spinnel used a wepon that reseted every gem back to their base programing as if they had just beikg born, destroying their memorys and character development and trought the movie Steven tries to restore them and manages to do so in music montages in which they simulate the important experiences they had in the past. Spinnel also hot reset by the weapon and she isn't evil.
For more context just watch the show
14:45 I do love how looking back we really shouldn’t have been surprised about SUF considering the whole song is just “let’s shove everything away and be happy, just shove, shovey shove shove shove”
Matt I NEED you to react to Phil Collin's live performance of "In the air tonight" If you havent yet. Everyone I know is so impressed by his performance and its just so INTENSE
Oh my god?? That’s so random it’s been so long I’m so happy lol!!
Lol the old SU videos were the reason I subscribed in the first place so this is a fun throwback
STOPP!! SU IS HOW I FOUND YOU!!! RAHHH THIS IS SUCH A TREAT THANK U MATT‼️‼️‼️
3rd song was a flashback to how garnet first came to be. The song takes place after they escaped to earth and were talking about the implications of fusing.
And also yes, fusion is pretty coded as an intimate act between gems. You learn in the episode with this song that fusions of 2 or more different gems was seen as disgusting, where as fusion between the same types of gems was ok.
The "fusion dimension" is actually not shown in that song, but is shown in the song "Here Comes a Thought". Ruby and Sapphire on Earth a few thousand years in the past.
Context for "Familiar": The other Diamonds found out that Steven is Pink's son and brought him back to Homeworld in an attempt to replace her with him. He recognizes a lot of behaviors from his own family and comes up with an idea to try and "start the Diamonds' redemption arc", for lack of a better term. His main goals with them: get them to stop seeing him as Pink 2.0 and get White Diamond to come back to Earth with him so that she can help him heal all the corrupted Gems.
I feel like you’d enjoy the songs from Dead End Paranormal Park. You’d really like songs like, Somewhere down there, My Frankenstein, and Just some guy
Yes! I love Dead End and the musical episode is great!
@@stressedandunimpressed And if he watches it I just know he’ll be confused af😂
When I was like 15 years old I was just listening to the S.U. songs and my English was very bad so I only understood some words but I still loved the songs. Now hearing those songs again as I can understand every single word, it's like listening to them for the first time 🥹
I’m loving these theories about the song contexts
It’s so interesting to compare them to the real context and think of as separate concepts
Fusion of 2 completely different gems such as Sapphire (royalty) and Ruby (a lowly guard) is frowned upon, and because of it Sapphire and Ruby escaped to earth. That's where they're stuck according to Ruby.
is this a sign to watch steven universe?
Fusion is basically two beings creating a child in a way but also not. Garnet has her own personality and thoughts separate from ruby and sapphire. However garnet cannot exist if ruby or sapphire are under distress as theyre still two halves of one person.
The act of fusing itself is treated like sex in the show.
Theres also a weird point in the show where when they find out rose is pink they separate because theyre worried that their love is fake because Rose told garnet never to question their fusion or love.
It was a dumb one episode arc that ended in them becoming officially married and being garnet again
They also proceed to act like Rose was the worst person to ever exist despite all she did for good
I remember being younger with my friend playing the Steven Universe minecraft mod, we both had our designated rooms, we went to the kindergarten, good times
If you listen to garnets song "made of love" she says "I am their fury I am their patience I am a conversation" they are both in there speaking together and garnet is what is produced from their conversation.
I started rewatching Steven Universe just a couple weeks ago. I’d still love for you to watch the show!
I was already super excited to see you revisit Steven Universe because that's how I found your channel but I was so pleasantly surprised that you actually remembered as much as you did. When you named Amethyst and even Spinel (ly) it was like woahhhhh, after 4 years, still, proud to be here to witness this XD
Wow you are right this really is a throwback
Man you REALLY need to watch the whole show.
I know it’s old and the first season is slow, but trust me, you will not regret it.
This show still stands as my all time favorite, and trust me, I’ve watched a LOT of shows.
Hell yea Steven universe!
Gems bodies are actually a manifestation of light,an illusion, so they don't have any kind of organs like brains😂,they even did a x-ray once and it just shows their gems floating
I haven’t thought about these songs in so long! Honestly such great songs 🥲
In my opinion, a good correlation to think how the experience of being in a fusion is the experience of you watching a movie and you are completely immersed on it. The protagonist of the movie felt, know and experienced all your pains and happiness, and also do the same with the other person participating in the fusion. So while you are watching this, you fell it being very familiar and related with you but also completely unique and new, and the only way to really enjoy is being deeply engaged.
You don't disappear, but you aren't fully there too, you are not alone but you also is not two people. You are a personification of a relationship (not only romantic, friendship and other types also are represented as fusion). It's a completely alien concept lol
I still listen to steven universe music mainly the soundtracks and themes their just so good to listen to while working or drawing and prefer them over the vocal songs most of the time❤⭐
You should do a stream or live of binge watching Steven universe, like both series, movies, and catching up on everything! Love your videos!🤍
The thumbnail AAAA LAYING IT ALL OUT
1:10 I mean...it's nice?
“Let’s not think about this” the next song being about their wedding 😂
YEAHHHH STEVEN UNIVERSE
Please continue reacting to steven universe songs!! I adore the show and the songs so much, and when you react to it it gives so much perspective and introspection that I hadn’t thought about before!
Familiar makes no sense unless you know The Big Spoiler that had already been revealed at that point of the series.
YESS MORE STEVEN
I'm so happy with this video
Awesome reaction of my favorite songs of Steven Universe!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I would cry over songs I relate to in secret. And Love Like You is a great song banger-
First song: Amethyst was hit by spinel's (the heart shaped gem) scythe, it resets the gem back to what they were made to do, Steven is trying to get her memories back, like a puzzle piece, for her to turn back to herself. And yes, Spinel was bad, Steven sliced her with her own scythe.
Second song: Steven went to the diamonds, they put him in her room because at the ball he danced with Connie and fused in front of everyone. The platform he was laying on adjust to the person or gems size. The pebble people are a result of his moms healing powers, and they helped her in her room. AND his mom, Rose Quartz ( Pink Diamond) isn't dead in order for Steven to be brought into the world she had to become Steven, but he is himself not his mother. I just realized he was in his room before the ball, my bad.
Third song: They're not kids, even though they're small thy are around thousands of years old. Like pearl said she had been a criminal for over 6,000 years. They exist together as Garnet. They are as one gem, even though they are two separate gems. They can separate at will and when they have afflicting emotions.
Fourth song: She was playing two roles at once Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz. She lead an army against the Diamonds and made Pedal shapeshift into Rose Quartz. Rose turned back into Pink. Pink made a real pink diamond with dirt and a pink flower. Rose and Pearl then got into position and Pearl had to literally stab Rose. When Pearl stabbed Rose, Rose broke the diamond in her hand, making it look like she shattered.
This is to my knowledge as a Steven Universe fan. I have watched this since I was probably 10 or 11. I have watched a lot of reactions to this amazing show. I hope I informed you correctly. By the way I love your reactions to their music.
Edit: By looking at the comments they also have good information.
Plot of the movie was basically just all the crystal gems forgot who they were(they were reverted back to how the were before the crystal gems came to be) and Steven was trying to get their memories back.
WOAAAAAH its been SO long since we've seen you do steven universe! Thats when I first subscribed :D
*_IMPOSTATOES_*
oddly enough even though I only watched steven universe for the first time a year ago, my first time watching it made me feel SUPER nostalgic. like it was crazy, i swear i must have seen all of those characters before.
flour covered fried potatos are extra crunchy, but not technically 100% potato
they could be made with potato flour!
OMGG i was not expecting this
Just discovered you today. Loving your videos.
MORE STEVEN UNIVERSE YEAHHH 🎉🎉
In the first song Amethyst was memory wiped (her gem factory reset) and Steven was trying to make her remember their relationship.
This helped me so much as a child, My favorite show ever! Now that i'm grown up i still feel everything i felt when i was young
Oh yay, it's been forever since a Steven Universe reaction☺️
It’s virtually impossible to make sense of the songs without the overarching story as a framework. Effectively the entire SU saga is a huge musical, it’s like listening to the songs from “wicked” out of order without knowing the story.
steven universe is one of my favorite shows It’s so incredible for so many reasons I could infodump for hours
Fusion is a very deep and complex aspect of SU, but the fused gem is an entirely new being partially influenced by it's parts
Steven universe if my comfort show. Everything I get overwhelmed or start spiraling it helps ground me. Would highly recommend finishing the show, even in your downtime. The later seasons really get good with story telling.
Thank you for this, do more like this.
first (sorry that was instinctual im glad u listened to steven universe the music is really nice and im glad u like them)
