I know a lot of people dislike what we see of Spinel and the diamonds in “Homeworld Bound” because everyone seems too well-adjusted and reformed and happy, but that’s actually what I love? Because this would be a standard episode premise on any day where Steven wasn’t in crisis and still had his own emotions good and suppressed.

Think about it: Steven would come to Homeworld to check on Spinel and the diamonds and they would do exactly what we saw. Spinel would be a lovable goof. Yellow, Blue, and White would be excited to show off their new powers and how they’ve begun righting their wrongs. The four of them would seemingly get along great; it would be happily ever after. But Steven would see cracks in their facade. They would try to deny it at first, but it would come out that things weren’t perfect. They just pretended because they really didn’t want to disappoint Steven. But of course Steven would be so accepting, and he’d give a little speech about how they’re still trying to be perfect when perfect isn’t real. What’s important is that they’re trying to do better and making progress. Episode ends lesson learned all is well que star transition.

But Steven is in serious personal crisis during “Homeworld Bound,” so the image of Spinel and the diamonds’ happy little Era Three remains unquestioned and intact.

Everyone believes in STEVEN UNIVERSE Happy 10th anniversary Steven Universe!

10 years ago today! TEN YEARS AGO TODAY !!!!! Steven Universe AIRED! And EVERYTHING CHANGED!!

While drawing this I kept trying to find a way to describe how much this show mean to me, and I get too emotional everytime. I love it so much, from the jokes, the amazing visuals, the SONGS!! Yes I heard the entire discography while drawing this and sang and CRIED bc this show. THIS SHOW. It’s an emotional catharsis and pays off EVERYTIME. I met so many wonderful friends through this show, I learned so much and grew, and forgave, and let go. I may not ever find words to describe the feeling I have for this show, but sometimes things are not meant to be described but EXPERIENCED. And what a wonderful, heartwarming, tearjerking and FUN experience it is to watch it.

Crying. Singing and crying.

Cartoon Network Executives Break Silence On "Steven Universe" Cancellation: 'It Actually Was The Inconsistent Character Heights. It Drove Us Nuts and We Had To Put An End To It'

Just did a deepdive into this blog and remembered how much I fucking love SU

[queercrystalclod]

When you're at your job working on a presentation in canva and find Pearl in the graphics section

[queercrystalclod]

Does anyone know why official SU merch is nonexistent nowadays? I don’t understand how such a popular and influential piece of media has completely vanished from major stores that cater to fandom even when its contemporaries remain.

[queercrystalclod]

SUF and the movie FINALLY show up on Hulu not behind premium paywalls. Still no season 5 though.

[queercrystalclod]

can you imagine how thrilled steven was when he was flipping through his idea book to find a justice of the peace in beach city but then pearl pointed out that the rupphire marriage doesn’t need some human paper of authenticity and then ruby and sapphire asked steven to officiate their wedding. the biggest starry eyes that kid’s ever had right there.

Me watching “The Test” for the first time:

Me years later

Doing my rewatch and holy shit holy shit does “The Test” hit hard now. It’s the first time Steven deliberately dismisses his own feelings and needs for the sake of the gems. It’s the first time they don’t realize it. And just knowing where it’s all going to lead, I just…

How this ep is the turning point not just in the trajectory of the show but in Steven’s development is even more pronounced post-SU: Future.
