So like, The fluidity of the animation in the Steven fusing back into himself scene is fantastic. Mesmerizing. A+. I will thank James Baxter until my dying days. But there’s this one detail of it I adore above all else, and it’s this
Gem!Steven is dancing with Human!Steven’s feet on top of his.
A split second later Steven’s dancing on his own two feet, but for that first bit they dance like this and idk I just love how? Goofy and fun and supportive that little tidbit is
things noelle has said about adora that make me want to sit in a dark corner alone with my feelings:
“she’s looking to be punished in some way.”
“it’s just that she, partially as atonement, just really wants to take every single bullet, throw herself on every single grenade, so that nobody else even has the option of getting themselves hurt.”
“she was raised to believe she was only worth anything to anyone if she was useful to them. to prove that she’s worth existing, even.”
this one is fun and not at all awful:
“she’s convinced that it would be better for her to die than for her friends to get hurt, and honestly, she’s kind of been trying to do that for a while.”
