i like how the proper reveal of the pokemon go team leaders has turned everybody into those weird npc gym trainers who basically do nothing but talk about how great their leader is and fight anybody who disagrees
okay but like Jasper’s growing hatred towards Steven specifically seems to be a Thing and IMMMMMMM A LITTLE WORRIED-
Me too man, I don’t like Jasper that much but I would want to see all of the Homeworld Gem Trio to be redeemed and become Crystal Gems! But seeing how the Crewuniverse is building Jasper and Steven’s relationship I am a little worried too…
honestly I’m hoping for redemption because then this building tension specifically between Jasper and Steven would could have some WICKED interesting results!
I feel like it is important, too, because since Jasper’s introduction there’s been emphasis on her and Steven’s interaction (most noticeably that Steven has never had a chance to talk to Jasper directly, only ever reacting to her while she was interacting with/being influenced by other gems). I really think the moment in Chille Tid when Jasper sees him and does little more than hatefully repeat “it’s YOU” over and over in her wrecked state was MAJOR foreshadow.
Because I mean honestly, why wouldn’t Jasper grow to earnestly hate Steven at this point? He helped ruin their mission, was the reason Lapis chose to imprison them in the ocean (along w/ Lapis wanting revenge), and now she chooses to see him as the reason Lapis denies fusing with her again. Not to mention she basically thinks he’s a weird, little Rose Quartz, leader of the rebellion, whom Jasper fought herself.
I’m really REALLY excited for Jasper and Steven to end up in a situation where they’re more or less alone together and get to interact directly… I feel like only the most interesting things can happen…!
I am hoping that Jasper calms down and seeks out the Crystal Gems to get their help and learn about Fusion. And then at whatever the next climax is, she and Lapis fuse into a more stable malachite. Probably whenever they’re fighting the rubies
You ever notice how everything stops when Sans asks you about the talking flower? Some people think that Sans at this point actually stops time to talk to you about it privately. Some evidence for it is how Grilby's flames completely stop even though they should still be moving.
((that’s my HC. I didn’t show it very well in the comic though
more evidence is the fact that he says he needs to tell you something, stops time, when once he starts it again he walks away saying that he forgot what he was going to say
also can i just say that i really love that Alone at Sea covered toxic relationships in a way you never see in media. sometimes abuse isn’t just a villain and a victim. sometimes you both do awful things. sometimes you even crave the abuse. but that doesn’t change what it is: it’s still abuse. and you’re still allowed to stand up for yourself against it.
Steven Quartz Universe has one major flaw that I hope the show addresses sooner rather than later. If he likes you, he’ll do anything for you. If he doesn’t like you, too bad for you.
In Beach City Drift it was revealed that Steven hated Kevin because Kevin was a jerk to Stevonnie. His hatred and anger was so great that he was willing to fuse with Connie just to get revenge.
And then we have Restaurant Wars. He basically forces Ronaldo into pretending to date Kiki, ignoring all of Ronaldo’s protests, including Ronaldo’s confession that he has a girlfriend. And when Ronaldo’s girlfriend does appear, and the misunderstanding causes them to break up, Steven shows no regret whatsoever. He doesn’t even look the least bit sad or regretful. I think it’s because Steven doesn’t really like Ronaldo all that much. Ronaldo has been loud and pushy, and tried to dissect the watermelon Steven, and tried to throw Lars into a house. Steven likes his watermelons, and Lars is his bff. So Steven has negative feelings towards Ronaldo, which show in him not really caring too much about Ronaldo’s happiness.
And now we have Alone at Sea. I was very disappointed in Steven during this episode. Lapis was trying to confess that she wasn’t perfect, that she had done bad things, but Steven refused to believe or even listen to her. And as soon as Jasper appeared, Steven outright called her a bad person. The possibility that Jasper might have suffered through her ordeal meant absolutely nothing to him. Jasper was big, loud, pushy, and that apparently meant that she was evil. Steven was not willing to admit that his friend might have done something wrong.
I really, really, really want somebody to let Steven know some of the less than savory things that the Crystal Gems did during the War. Something more than Greg’s “no such thing as a good war, kiddo.” Because right now he has a very black and white view of things, of good vs evil, and as long as he’s unwilling to admit that his friends aren’t entirely good, he’ll also remain unwilling to admit that his “enemies” aren’t a hundred percent evil. He’ll continue to dehumanize them, which is not a good thing.
