It took me long enough to draw Curly as a cowboy

[i-reblog-everything44]

Hey curly wurly! I have prepared another episode of Steven universe for ya! :3

Season 2 episode 16: nightmare hospital

Ho boy, more of those gem experiments. This time, they look more… vaguely human shaped. And they have more very unsettling gasping and pained noises. And it occurs in a hospital, hence the name, haha. I hope this episode won’t bother you. Since you could handle “keeping it together”, hopefully this isn’t too much worse… still. (3rd party, could curly have the option to pause this episode if it gets to be too much?)

[beams that episode into your head]

Anyway, you’ll probably be fine considering you could handle that other episode. But on the off chance it bothers you or makes u anxious or something, here’s some relaxing rain sounds!

And here’s another cute Lion short!

Possums, hey! Quick thing before you start— on the off chance none of you have heard from me in a bit, it's because I overdid it in PT and kinda passed out. I've already been scolded for not saying I needed a break, so none of you need to bother with that. At least I slept some, yeah?

Nightmare hospital. Seems a bit worse than this one, then. I'll power through, but thank you for warning me.

This is disgusting. They're spitting all over each other.

Ah, how exactly would her mum confiscate a lion anyways? And she took the bloody sword into the hospital. Bonkers. Let's see the body already. Gotta find out if it's worse than mine or not. Wh— No heartbeat? Damn, I've never had two kids sneak into my room to steal a sword before.

Yeah okay that's terrifying.

Give her the sword, for fuck's sake. The mum's bloody controlling. I mean—not with the sword stuff, that's a typical enough reaction to your child having a sword, but—she doesn't need to know every detail, damn.

Ah, I take it back. Mum's redeemed herself.

Thanks for the rain! Ah, I miss going outside.

Got to thank Lion for eating all the raw fish so that I don't have to look at it. Real nice touch there, Lion. Wh— Cheese puffs?! Oh for fuck's sake, that isn't— Y'know, that's a crime. That was a crime right there.

so im assuming Curlys name is staying the same even tho we found out his name in canon is ORION?

Mod Note:

Yeah I decided it won't hurt to just keep his name as Grant because that's what I've been doing since I started and that's the name I prefer.

Doesn't really affect much to keep it because Jimmy calls him Curly like 100% of the time anyway so no harm no foul. This late in the game I'm treating the name "Orion" as a suggestion and not a requirement.

[i-reblog-everything44]

Orion is such a mischievous puppy name, I get it's like space themed but I don't like it! It also doesn't fit him IMO

Mod Note:

Honestly, if I was going to pick the name of a constellation for Curly it would be something like Cepheus (The King) from it's story in Greek mythology. He reigned over the stretch of land between the southeastern Mediterranean the Red Sea -wink wink- Cepheus turned to an oracle for advice on how to prevent a calamity and the oracle told him that the only way to appease Poseidon was to sacrifice his daughter.

Something something to be said about Cepheus's marriage to Cassiopeia and the sacrifice of his daughter that can be paralleled to Curly's friendship with Jimmy and his sacrifice of Anya.

But that's just my thoughts on it, I guess. I respect everyone's right to their opinion about it and I think that sometimes respectful disagreements are a part of the fun of fandom.

[i-reblog-everything44]

I think you raise a very good point about Orion being really surface level, because truly, what the hell is even that. I would've been fine with every other variant be it Cole or Curt or any other popular headcanon. But Orion... It feels like a way too ham-fisted of a metaphor (if you could even call it that) when the game itself had already a clever and graceful way of implementing them. For god's sake 'Curly' was already a metaphor, with the Laika dog reference, why do we need a space themed name too??? It's like if Jimmy was named something like Jimmy Evilton.

Just call him Orion Burning-man-spaceship then.

Like I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

Mod Note:

YES! Thank you! I feel like choosing Orion was a really... lazy choice. There are so many other names that would have fit better. I don't really see Curly with the skill and strength of a hunter, nor do I agree with the idea that he is a "warrior". You could comb through other mythologies and the spiritual significance in cultures if you WANTED to do that, I guess, but it really seems like it was an easy, surface level space name where the expectation was for fans to either read far too much into it or blindly accept it as it was.

The problem is when you READ TOO MUCH into Orion, the less it makes sense. I mean, base-level Orion was punished by Gaia for his arrogance and threats to hunt every being on earth, and don't even get me started on Hesiod's version of Orion, Oenopion and Merope.

There were much better choices if, for ARGUMENTS SAKE, they were dead set on using space names- specifically constellations. Cepheus was my first thought (here). Another is Castor (second brightest star in Gemini), which would have been an interesting and COMPELLING choice.

There is also a lot of available information on "space names" based on spiritual significance, as well as some with historical origins.

TLDR "Orion" feels half-baked. It didn't have to be so blatant, and it's a little disappointing considering the strength of the source media. That's all.

why he changed to curly

[i-reblog-everything44]

What is Wrong with him

[i-reblog-everything44]

I’ve been seeing a lot of mixed feelings about wrong organ making Curly’s official name “Orion Carling” when he was originally “grant curly,” so hear me out:

Orion is his first name, Grant is his middle name, but he got bullied for it as a kid so he started going by his middle name Grant instead. Then later he got the nickname Curly, decided he really liked that so started going by that exclusively instead

The vast majority of his friends either think grant is his first name and Curly is his nickname, or they just think that curly is his real name. The only ones who know Orion is his real name are A: people who see it on work documents/his ID/etc; B: his family; and C: people who have known him since he was very small
