This is phenomenal, best shit I’ve seen all day and now I need a special of just Carl getting transported through all the cartoon network shows.
“Hey, Fryman!”
I’ll be…out here…where there are witnesses!
It doesn’t matter. None of this matters
I watched the show up until Stephen Universe Future and here is my take:
Technically, they’re not female or male, and technically they often appear to swing both ways, although any sexual relations are purely speculation to begin with, including the conception of Stephen as it is entirely plausible Stephen’s mom created him asexually.
They are hard light projections. Their physical bodies are their gemstones. They are genderless, female presenting, sentient space rocks who reproduce via the various bodily secretions of their supreme diamond leaders.
Where White Diamond comes from is a true mystery, but I like to think of her like the Monolith. The creation of a long gone organic species that wanted to seed the universe with life. Only white was a bit more zealous for inorganic life forms and than simple organic life.
As for Steven, it can be assumed, since the gems can shape shift their hard light projection forms, that Rose shape shifted a functioning human female reproductive system centered around her actual gemstone.
But it’s whatevs. I’m a big Steven Universe fan. Free therapy. Never had a cartoon make me cry more than that show.
Where White Diamond comes from is a true mystery
White Diamonds came from Elizabeth Taylor.
That was my theory too - the Gems are a von Neumann probe, created by a possibly-gone species.
Remember everyone, things can be therapeutic but only therapy can be therapy
I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.
(the other is Land of the Lustrous)
I know of a few others but I don’t plan to nerd out on you.
Carl deserves the chance to ruin those annoying little shits lol
Finally an animated series made for both halves of my brain
I would legitimately binge this shit out of a crossover series.
CAUSE WE ARE THE CRYSTAL TEENS
Omg
I know who Carl is, but not the other characters… I’m old.
Seven universe. Good show.
Ehhhh. I don’t recommend unless you’re below the age of 16. It starts as a cool show. Almost has like gayer lesbian DBZ vibes but really falls off in it’s tone and writing later. No problem is solved realistically and it’s all hugs magic and sparkles in the end.
Avatar did conflict resolution far better
I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it’s problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person’s traits as a solution to differences.
Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you’re being shown it from his eyes.
This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn’t as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.
Lovely show
I liked the jasper arc. I felt how that played out was really deep for a kids show. Every other conflict with a major character falls flat.
If we’re judging kids shows based on Avatar we’ll always be let down.
It’s a different things entirely and did well at what it tried, no the story isn’t great from start to end but if you take it as chapters it’s not horrible.
Way better than eight universe, imho
If it’s box related I doubt it, that said. Shit yeah, Steven my bad.
Same voice actor.
As?
Steven’s weird racist uncle was voiced by Dave Willis, aka Carl.
I would watch this show but it needs some kind of overarching plot where at the beginning of the episode he’s in a space ship that pulls up to each world and he gets beamed down or something.
“I ain’t saying there’s nothing wrong with that. I am down with the Lesbians!”
But uhhh, you keep saying some shit about not being women but hippy dippy light, I am pretty sure that big one is just two midgets stacked on top of each other and the little guy over here keeps saying he is his own mother or some shit."
