Holy shit Stevonnie's singing voice is so goddamn pretty

also, I find it interesting how Steven and Connie are juxtaposed with Ruby and Sapphire in Here Comes a Thought. Kinda makes it feel like Permastevonnie is going to happen. Which is a-ok with me.

also also, her outfit this ep turned Steven's star into a yellow diamond. Probably not actually significant, but it is a thing.

I hope Permastevonnie never happens and I hope Ruby and Sapphire spend more time apart. These two being almost unable to spend time apart from each other and fucking stuff up as a result (the baseball game for instance) and not learning from it is honestly annoying me. Especially when fusion looks to be a metaphor for relationships. Garnet doesn't need to "break up" but her experiencing things as Garnet instead of Ruby and Sapphire annoys me.
They could be infinitely more interesting if they were individuals that cared about something besides Garnet. They care about Steven of course, but you know what I mean - their relationship, their "experience" as Garnet has (in my view) overtaken their whole life and hurt their individuality. It irks me that Garnet is seen as this "perfect" person/ experience/ relationship because I think Ruby and Sapphire would learn different things and grow up more if they weren't fused, and would come back together stronger. 5000+ years relationship, talk about interdependency - and during this whole time they never experienced things as "themselves" but as Garnet. Now I KNOW that doesn't mean they aren't there and conscious of what happens but it's like being high for 5000+ years instead of experiencing things for what they are, with your own perspective. I think they need more of that - together but apart.

That's a negative?

I would argue directly against that, honestly. Their experience as Garnet is what made them even consider their individuality in the first place. Until that happened, Sapphire didn't even know she could have an effect on the future, and Ruby was just a faceless soldier in a thousand. It was becoming Garnet which made them both realize they could be something different, because as themselves they were stuck in the roles that their society had laid out for them. Garnet isn't a role they're stuck in, Garnet was a choice they made, and being Garnet is so important to them because of it. It's why they both got so upset when Pearl tricked them into becoming Sardonyx, they consider fusion to be something that let them break free of being used like tools.

And on top of that, Garnet is a much more balanced person than Ruby or Sapphire. They both, as individuals, have personality issues that won't be fixed via just character development. No amount of it would make Ruby less of an emotional hothead, and it wouldn't make Sapphire have an easier time caring about the present. To a point, the implication seems to be they're bodaciously designed to be that way, like how Pearl has an incredibly difficult time moving past a servitude role because that's exact reason she was made. Garnet takes those extremes and allows them to mix, which helps them both overcome issues they have as individuals and end up better for it.

So Garnet doesn't seem to harm them actively at all, she's a representation of their own ability to break out of their place in society and a way for them to become better individuals, not a wall against it.

Did Frowney remind anyone else of Neil Gaiman, or is it just me? I think it's the voice and the messy hair.

He didn't at the time, but I can definitely see the resemblance now that you mention it.

The puzzle in episode 6 had 612 pieces. Homestuck crossover confirmed.

Look, I just don't buy that Onion is 'just a weird kid'.

There's apparently this race of people that don't speak english (Garbanzo talks like a Pokemon, Yellowtail and Onion just do this weird mumbling thing, and the other three just don't talk) named after food. I just...can't buy that there isn't anything up with them. I don't know what, but there has to be something.
