BACK WHEN THE BIGGEST HIATUS WAS THE 2014 SUMMER HIATUS BETWEEN ROSE’S ROOM AND COACH STEVEN. THAT WAS A TWO OR SO MONTH HIATUS. TWO MONTH.

BACK WHEN EVERY SEASON ONE EPISODE HAD A ONE MINUTE BEGINNING PREVIEW CLIP TO HYPE UP THE EPISODE. BACK WHEN THAT WASN’T CONSIDERED A LEAK OR A MISTAKE BY CN. JUST THE OLD FASHIONED WEEKLY PREVIEW RIGHT AFTER THE EPISODE EVERY THURSDAY.

BACK WHEN THE JUICY CN ANOUNCER VOICE WENT THROUGH A BUNCH OF SHOWS SAYING AIRING EVERY THURSDAY ON A GOOD TWO MONTHLY BASIS WITH BREAKS IN BETWEEN FOR DEVELOPMENT/HOLIDAYS.

BACK WHEN WE HAD STEADY DATES.

OH HO HO

Take me back to the good old consistency, CN.

OH MY GOD

YES YES YES

August 2014 (Coach Steven) to April 2015 (Reformed) was logistically the best time for Steven Universe. While they aired a Stevenbomb half a month after Reformed, that marks the moment the inconsistency began. A bomb in June, a bomb in July, and then it was slapped with a hiatus til August, that was extended to September, consistent weeklies through October, then another hiatus til January, with another Stevenbomb, and then a whopping 4 month hiatus featuring major leaks for Super Watermelon Island (Malachite/Alexandrite fight) and Barn Mates (spoiled Lapis’ return and interaction with Peridot towards the end of the episode, clip ends with her slapping the Roaming Eye to the ground).

Honestly, I was so numb to the hiatus that by the time we reached the worst fucking one in SU’s history–Lars’ Head (May 29, 2017) to Dewey Wins (Nov. 10, 2017 ONLINE and Dec.15 on TV), a whole 5-6 months–I just sort of accepted it. Such is life. End. Less. Suffering.

I can just remember impatiently waiting for free time at school on Fridays so I could check CN’s YouTube channel to see if they uploaded next week’s clip, and it makes me so nostalgic. Like, I specifically remember sitting on the floor of the chorus room on a free day, holding back squeals while watching the clip for Story for Steven on repeat, which was young Greg singing “Like a Comet,” and then it showed Rose clapping in the background. Good times, good times!

Anyone remember the steven universe gigapause
