I have been giving this ship some serious thought as of late. It came up in another thread. They were the first CG/Steven combo to fuse, they both overcame insecurity at trying to catch up with the CGs. And their fusion has three arms, which might suggest something.
Also IDK how many SU threads are allowed at one time, don't hate.
Their fusion is easily the worst gem in the series, and it's not even close. For that reason alone, I'm out.
Easton Hernandez
They are definitely the closest relationship when it comes to Steven and the CG. Hell, most of what he did was just spend a day with her doing stuff they normally did.
Ethan Ward
They don’t fuse into Lapis.
Lincoln Williams
Everything is always shippy with Steven and another Gem, pretty sure Rebecca doesn’t do it on purpose, just a cost of being a male character in a mainly female cast
Logan Ortiz
Steven's not really fat anymore, so that might change. I mean, if Smoky looked exactly the same, except with a halfway-decent figure, she'd easily be a fan-favorite
It won't happen Steven is basically her little brother. And Sugar confirmed the main gem trio will out live Steven. So in canon he will still be her little brother even thousand of years after he dies. Harsh truth.
Thomas Roberts
>Also IDK how many SU threads are allowed at one time, don't hate. If you pay attention, you'll see the limit is somewhere around a few hundred.
Jason Walker
>Steven will die before his friends >all his friends are pink zombies Rainbow Quartz is endgame change my mind
Please don't ruin the comfiness of Steven and Amethyst being one of the best brother/sister combos in recent animation history by fucking shipping them. Steven's already pretty well off with Connie.
YOUVE CULTIVATED ENOUGH, ITS TIME TO START HARVESTING
Justin Wilson
A little. Anyway, if it’s not her life, it’s not her call.
Aiden Brown
>Deserted Earth >15000 years after Steven > much paler, ancient Amethyst. >even older Pearl approaches, still wearing the same jacket. >Hey, remember the time Spinel asked something like '' were you just using me for your personal gain ?', '' and Steven answered ''yeah'' ? And we almost got shattered?
>they both laugh like idiots
James Reed
Shes the worst because her music sucks, shes barely animated, her powers are lazy asspulls, her design is unappealing, and I hate the the bifurcated arm.
Jose Watson
They're brother and sister. But yeah they're the two babies of the family so they're closest. Also Earth Gems.
Jack Russell
Look at all those wrong opinions. Congrats, you're the worst user of the day.
Michael Lee
Smokey's probably my 3rd favorite fusion just cuz the kid in me still gets hype over yoyo tricks.
I ship every gem with each other, every gem with Steven, every gem with Connie, every gem with Greg, and depending on the mood I'm in Greg with Connie.
Basically everybody fucks each other nonstop after young Greg taught the gems about sex, and they went on to teach Steven and Connie at way too young of an age
This picture is kind of Jasper's character in a nutshell. Getting dabbed on by smug fusions.
Josiah Scott
>be jasper >literally the perfect quartz >so powerful a lapis lazuli needs to use the weight of the ocean and all her focus just to contain you >your fused form dominates the quad fusion Alexandrite >get flip kicked by an un-animated fatso
Jose Garcia
Painfully based
Ethan Rogers
>be jasper >think relationships are dumb and gay >Get ass whooped by two gems that're basically fucking the whole time >Desperate times call for desperate measures >Fuse and get dragged to the bottom of the ocean but realize you kind of like it. >Beg her to fuse again and she punches you across the horizon. >Try to get some pets to love you >They leave too, but only after giving you rabies. Jasper's lonely as fuck.
Whoever boarded their song ships those 2 right? There's no fucking way they didn't.
Jeremiah Gomez
I do like how if you compare Early Steven to late steven he goes from just a fat pudgy kid to just sorta thick. He doesn't get skinny but he definitely seems more in shape. He's just sorta built stocky like his Dad and Rose, who even at his youngest was kind of a chunky guy.
Anthony Cook
I just wanted to say that Pearl/Amethyst is terrible and awful and I hate that it's so popular.
Brody Flores
He’s broad and in some angles like looks thin or maybe it’s just animation inconsistencies, who knows?
I dunno. Steven fucking Connie from behind while Connie eats out Pearl while Steven and Pearl kiss is kinda hot.
Colton Davis
Look at his shoulders, is he going to play the football?
Alexander Taylor
He does have the jacket
Kevin Lopez
This is THE best ship in SU.
Christopher Long
>your girlfriend eating your stepmom out while you bust it from the back Do you write for bangbros, by chance?
Cameron Gonzalez
If he ever did he'd always play defense. Probably just holding back 3 or 4 guys at a time and trying not to hurt anyone, giving them covert healing with friendly pats on the back.
Anthony Evans
I always saw pearl as less of a mom and more of a "older sister who tries to act like she's your mom"
Joseph Lee
The CGs represent the three parts of Rebecca, having to raise her brother Steven AS a mom, because the Diamonds represent the three parts of HER mom, who was a bitch
Lucas Williams
Just like the Eds are all 3 aspects of Danny Antinoucci.
Charles Gonzalez
Well ok then Shrek. Go and make love to your ogress
Jaxson Long
Listen, what is the likelihood that a human can get with a cute fusion?
I heard that Steven Universe has an 8-pack. That he's shredded.
Eli Smith
3s a crowd. Unless you're a freaky fuseslut like Flourite. You don't wanna be flourite do you?
Bentley Torres
Y’know, this just made me realize that if Smokey has longer legs, I wouldn’t care if she had the same shape and/or amount of fat. Her proportions are just really strange, her legs are unnaturally short, and her waist is wide, but her stomach is flat).
Andrew Thompson
He'd be a decent defensive lineman.
Nathan Gonzalez
>well Steven an incel is someone who would have sex if it weren't for something called, "consent" >I'll look that up next >ruby and pearl fusion No wonder they're so fucking cute
Trying to date a fusion is like walking in on 2 people making out and asking"Can I get in on that?"
Elijah Lewis
>you will never experience fusion Literally better than sex
Christian Ortiz
Honestly it probably is. My first watchthrough I DESPERATELY wanted to fuse with my gf at the time. It was pretty autistic but I couldnt stop thinking about how you really can't be more intimate than that
their relationship is a sibiling one user, the ship is not a good one unless you're into incest
Benjamin Perez
>Please don't ruin the comfiness of Steven and Amethyst being one of the best brother/sister combos in recent animation history by fucking shipping them. completely agreed >Steven's already pretty well off with Connie. Nope
Ethan Gomez
>And Sugar confirmed the main gem trio will out live Steven. sauce pls
Lincoln Butler
yeah
Landon Miller
bruh just impregnate her
Brody Adams
You got a source on this? Would love to read more about it.
Liam Bailey
they try to animate her like a Miltank, but the animation didn't have any weight to it so she just looked like a balloon
also she looks like she doesn't bathe
Liam Collins
>just a cost of being a male character in a mainly female cast
Star vs. had the same problem. Marco became the fandoms town bicycle because he was the only consistent vaguely appealing male character in a mostly female cast.
Both shows fucked up because neither dude had any real male friends. Or rather, they do, but the crew forgets about them very quickly. Steven hung out with Peedee and Onion maybe once each. Marco almost immediatley forgot about Ferguson and the other guy, who is so forgettable I don't even remember him.
People talk shit about men for not knowing how to write women but female creators like Nefcy and Sugar REALLY don't know what to do with male characters.
Aaron Carter
Honestly I never liked Peedee, such a downer.
Dominic Barnes
oh shit that got me
Eli Wilson
Alone together still got me fucked up. It sucks that I will never something this strong.
That is assuming it works and he doesn't go full Crazy Diamond.
Nolan Diaz
steven is immortal
Nicholas Ortiz
I never quite got that. Fusions are made up of multiple gems, but isn't the fusion itself supposed to be it's own individual. Like garnet should be able to love people independent of Ruby and Sapphire no?
That ruby and that pearl were replaced for enjoying fusion, that story is so dang interesting. Rose would have been so happy to meet the off color gems
Clearly, it is the story of a high class Gem's Pearl getting RUBIED.
Daniel Morales
is that a safe site?
Nolan Ramirez
I would call it an unorthodox site
Camden Phillips
his lapiven stuff is top tier
Nathan Diaz
pls explain user
Blake Davis
with steven
Joseph Cooper
>Both shows fucked up because neither dude had any real male friends. Or rather, they do, but the crew forgets about them very quickly. Steven hung out with Peedee and Onion maybe once each. Lars.
Jace Butler
Get rid of the pig lips and she becomes an instant 10
Michael Robinson
This, Lars is his closest male friend lol also he hangs out with the cool kids at times. And he also interacts with the mayor. Greg and Andy are also good male characters. Steven is the best though
not him but is like a retarded fusion between twitter and newgrounds.
Colton Miller
so newgrounds but worse basically? why?
Elijah Hill
I'm just taking for myself on this one. The site tries to hard to be a social network instead of a art-dump site. I really can't see a non-artist dude making an account there to see pics. Idk, maybe its better on mobile.
Colton Mitchell
does it has questionable content?
Gavin Morris
Nothing is ever better on mobile, so definitely not.
Jackson Wood
yes. only rule is no real pictures and the classic "no despiction of real minors and they need to be fictional".
David Murphy
you guys would ship a human with a rock if you cou-- wait
Elijah Perry
Don't want to sound like a normie faggot piece of shit but, facebook runs better on mobile to me.
Carter Thompson
geez, sounds kinda problematic desu thanks user for the explanation
Lars is too busy netflixing and chilling with Sadie.
Alexander White
sadie is too busy with her band
Oliver Anderson
>So Smoky is the worst gem because she's rotund? not just that. Smokey also looks bad, and has a terrible design color.
Smokey is terrible
Evan Campbell
>Pink Diamond couldn't convince the other diamonds to stop >Pink Diamond's aura, through Steven, overpowered the diamonds Why didn't Pink diamond just defeat the other diamonds to begin with
He's too busy with his bakery and her with her band.
Justin Sanders
Steven’s stronger than her
Brayden Bell
I kind of like her colors. Like a chocolate strawberry thing. I used to try to tell myself that her being fat wasn't the only reason I disliked her, but it was. Hell, even then I still find her endearing
Lincoln Mitchell
>Lars take Sadie on his ship for some time alone >Doesn't know that Padparadscha is on the ship
Carter Gomez
He just lives in the Sun Incinerator now, he parked it in an empty lot near his house. A futon, a TV, clothes strewn everywhere, that comfy armchair placed across from the captain's chair with a table between 'em
You can simulate the experience by getting in bed with four beanpoles.
Evan Harris
also their gems are oval instead of round because those diamonds have longer gems
Anthony Roberts
Tiger Millionaire was really good. I liked their older sister / younger brother dynamic.
Steven growing up kinda reminds me of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. This human kid grows up with ghosts and as we watch him grow through the years, he loses touch with the younger ghost kid and relates better to their older brother.
I agree with the lack of weight but Her theme is a buff and her color scheme is fine, it just depends on the lighting
Benjamin Lewis
>IDK how many SU threads are allowed at one time
None. Lily Orchard already canceled Steven Universe and banned Yea Forums from talking about it
Daniel Wood
have fun, m8, Now's probably a good time to binge it at one's leisure, anyway.
Julian Richardson
Trust me, you're going to feel mighty stupid for thinking it ever had potential.
Ryan Edwards
so far it's been lots of fun, I used to like Adventure time but I gotta say SU takes the cake I really like the animation, and the jokes and fun bits are quite something, really great timing and some of them are pure comedy gold the art and backgrounds are super comfy and I like the color palette I don't like how Greg is kept away from his son tho
there's hasn't been a lot of lore but I like the direction is taking atm is my girl Peridot in S1?
>because the Diamonds represent the three parts of HER mom, who was a bitch Did you read or hear that somewhere, or is that just extrapolation?
Lincoln Williams
Yeah the episode Warp Tour is her first episode where she's much cooler
Andrew Harris
she is
Mason Moore
Pilot Garnet and Amethyst are much better than the show. Pilot Pearl SUCKS though. Our Pearl is so much better
Jack Morris
>my girl Peri Good taste. She's in S1 and has a LOT of focus in S2/S3
Nathaniel Perez
did you start with the movie?
Kevin Mitchell
no, browsed Yea Forums long enough and you guys eventually turned me into a gemsona
Cameron Richardson
I don't know what to say - the show kind of lost it after "Earthlings", for my money. Others will laugh and say "It lost it after 'Jailbreak'."
Some of it is really enjoyable. I envy you.
Any theories at this point you want to share?
Danger of spoilers, of course...
Angel White
>Lapidot is LITERALLY canon Pretty based.
Nathaniel Clark
well, it's pretty safe to say all the major plot points have been spoiled for me, the whole Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond for example but I still have to see how the story unfolds so even if I know some major plot point, it's still very enjoyable actually, I can see some foreshadowing early on, and it's pretty great
S1 is not too heavy on the lore, so at the moment I can't really say much except from Rose Quartz being kind of a bitch and the Crystal Gems not telling the truth about steven about something
also I guess most of what Ronaldo said about his DEEP weird mysteries are...true? I like to think it that way...snake people are real, guys
Cooper Wright
Or it was, once... before the dark times... before the Zukening.
well, at the moment I'm not even supposed to know Diamonds exist, so I can't really say anything about it since I don't even know what's the deal with Rose Rebellion and Diamonds but I gotta say, ROSE quartz and PINK Diamond are pretty sketchy names
the cookie cat story from the very first episode is a great way of telling the story of Rose Quartz, and I liked knowing how events will turn out eventually
for what I know, I think Pearl was really close to Rose/Pink, the other Gems saw her like a Christ-like figure and Steven has the power to "finish what she started", healing most of the corrupted Gems?
what really caught me off guard was Nicki Minaj voice acting
James Baker
I don't understand, throughout the movie we are shown as the gems reform multiple times their pilot forms... are we supposed to think that those forms actually happened in our shows universe or is it an upcoming season or?
Angel Lee
All the gems bar maybe Pearl looked better in the pilot, because the Pilot was basically in Rebecca's art style and didn't have to be dumbed down.
Stevonnie warming up to Kevin once he chills out in season six
Connor Hughes
i miss this i miss garnet being drawn as tall and imposing i miss pearl being a cunt i miss it all i miss not knowing where the gems came from or about their mysterious destiny god i miss it all
Eli Sanchez
It's a callback We understand that they have had forms we haven't seen, through the 6,000 year history. They can't go through each one, but they can give a nod to "unseen" forms by including the pilot form alongside the seen forms. this sounds weirdly like a platonic dialogue
Jose Peterson
I'm trying not to burn the first season because people told me it's the best one, but yeah peak comfy right now Steven just got his healing powers, the filler episodes are actually cool I like the whole mystery around the girls but technically a pearl is not a gem since it's organic made
Jaxson Morales
All the gems are made of organic matter that's why they invaded
Nathan Mitchell
I'm talking about IRL gems
Oliver Hernandez
shhh shhhhhhhhh sh
I'm not sure they're made of "organic" matter, so much as they rob the ground of nutrients and/or fuck up the pH balance
Isaiah Sanchez
>Steg represented positive masculinity Holy fuck. That's actually true. Steg represents everything positive about masculinity. How the fuck did Tumblr not shit themselves in rage over that?
Ethan Cruz
>that qilby arm peridot if only
Jordan Mitchell
>actually happened in our shows universe BEYOND STEVENS UNIVERSE
I appreciated that I already know about kindegarden and stuff though but the song "Steven and the Stevens" has been stuf in my head for the past few days so everything is allright
So if the story of Steven is meant to be a Christ allegory, was the movie meant to be the book of Revelation? If so, I'm greatly disappointed.
Anthony Stewart
BTFO
Anthony Clark
You and me both, brother
The anticipation, the mystery
He just misses hanging with his big sister, who left the house when she discovered she's gay and now she's a biker chick. Even dyed her hair pink for chrissakes
Jonathan Turner
No I mean the whole "pearl is an organic byproduct" thing It doesn't make sense *literally*, but there's a lot of themes surrounding water, the moon, and the ocean that the pearl-image goes with.
Jack Thomas
In the same sense as "O Brother where art thou" is a version of the Odyssey.
"We never actually read it."
Grayson Rodriguez
Actually Steven's the antichrist, try to keep up user
Zachary Gonzalez
I won't spoil anything by saying we still don't really know how pearls are made in-show (although the movie gave a clue, I guess).
When we were discussing whether pearls should be considered gems - since they are organic - someone brought up that anorganic pearls do exist. Cave pearls. So what would a Cave Pearl look like?
A lot of the early seasons lore is subtle you learn smal things one step at a time that starts to build. I'd argue you learn at least one new thing every episode, but in such a way that you don't realize it.
Nolan Price
God I still love this picture. I miss the early days of SU fanart.
Jose Price
Oh, I see but that's just a name more than anything, it's because those salt are shaped in form of a pearl >So what would a Cave Pearl look like? I don't know why but I have this visin of a native american-looking pearl
I like this way of "enviromental storytelling" and I like how the story unfolds little by little Rose Quartz bat cave was cool, Diamonds on dollars and stuff are a nice touch, I've seen a few fusions so far but they are great for character development I still don't get why Steven doens't see his dad that often, Greg seems like a great guy and a 10/10 father figure
Is that me or they went out of their way to make Pink Diamond look like she's full of shit?
Josiah Ross
Pink redeemed herself
Justin Nelson
The gems basically took him to do magical stuff and they live in the house Greg Built. Greg still lives in the Van and works at the car wash. Greg raised Steven for the formative years but now that Steven's of age he's living with the gems to embrace this half of his job and be a member of the Crystal gems.
Joshua James
Full of shit or a shitty person?
Joshua Myers
>I predict lars will prematurely ejaculate. >Throw her out >I predict Lars and Sadie will want to be alone.

Benjamin Gutierrez
> [Internal of ship, lights are dim, sexy noises] > The door to the ship opens and Padparadscha's silhouette is in the light, she steps into the ship to get something from inside > The door closes returning the ship to darkness. Walking right past Lars and Sadie who are face-to-face on the captain's chair, barely illuminated by the only active ship screen. Padparadscha disappears into the next room > Frozen in mid-fuck on the upswing since the door opened, Sadie whispers: "Uh, should we stop?" > Lars, whispering: "Maybe she didn't see us, just stay still." > Almost out the door, Padparadscha gasps and says "Oh my, this is so embarassing! I'm so sorry, i'll just leave you two alone right away!"
Nothing that was genuinely language-based would sound or be good/real enough. > "Lets use a dead language from europe" > "Lets use a digital synth overlay" > "Lets use a collection of sound effects like clicks and beeps" No, those are all shit because they're based on air passing over vibrating meat flaps controlled by a human brain.
The recurring theme of Gems? Singing. What are they? Artificially constructed life. They should speak in pure notes and song and have a range beyond human ability to reproduce or even detect; A single C# note could be a "Yes." A conversation would sound like a question and response song, and they could speak in a whisper that's at a frequency above or below human hearing.
>Lapis: "Look Steven, I'm pregnant too! And its all y o u r s."
Aaron Myers
The show we got is nothing more than the abridged stories Steven is telling to his future children, why else would; >Everything be saturated in color >There be so many songs >The characters look different >Steven is portrayed as always nice, compared to how he actually was a bit of a dick in the pilot Its all propaganda to make himself and the CGs look cooler.

Isaac Kelly
this picture sure gave me some nostalgia feels...
Joseph White
based sultan wonder if its still around
Jayden Phillips
Since this is the active /su/ thread and I don't wanna go to /trash/, did the series ever explain what happened to all of the bubbled rose quartz gems in the zoo? Did they just drop that entire plot point because >hurr durr they'd all look like rose and it'd be confusing
Jaxson Thompson
they never explained what happened to them, guess they'll talk about it on s6 or Sugar will pull a Toriyama and just say she forgot about them
Jose Clark
why? opposites attract
Angel Wright
yes we have. its english. english is gem language the humans adapted because of all the gems dicking around earth for millennia. its written different though. pearl explains this
