Once again, thank you to the 2310 of you who responded to this survey! I promised to release a brief* analysis of the results after weeding through a couple of joke responses and duplicates and examining the Others, and here I am. Due to family reasons, I won't be around for a couple of weeks, so I do hope the people who took the survey can see this. Anyways, enough about me; let's get to it!
* = I thought this would be brief. I guess not. In any case, if you want the TL;DR version with pretty colors,
read this, but note that some numbers may differ from the final results due to me weeding out some joke responses, duplicates, and fixing Other responses that could've gone into already existing choices.
I asked the people to rank the main characters from favorite to least favorite on a scale of 1 to 9. There was some misunderstanding among respondents, but given a brief change instituted early on, I have reason to believe the majority understood the directions given in the survey.
In any case, to give a final ranking, I decided to use a points system of 9 to a Favorite, 8 to a Second-favorite, and so forth, down to 1 point for a Least Favorite. Here were the results.
Main Characters
Character | 1st Place Votes | Total Points |
Pearl | 428 | 12764 |
Peridot | 420 | 12558 |
Steven | 285 | 12533 |
Garnet | 257 | 12290 |
Amethyst | 151 | 10990 |
Lapis | 257 | 10980 |
Connie | 136 | 10525 |
Greg | 141 | 9943 |
Jasper | 327 | 8293 |
It really is the Robolympics out here: Pearl and Peridot received the most first place votes and total points of the main characters. Jasper is very polarizing; while she received the third-most first place votes, she received the most least-favorites as well, which contributes to her bottom ranking in total points. Lapis is also polarizing to a lesser extent; she also finishes in the bottom half of total points although receiving the same amount of 1st place votes as Garnet. Finally, Connie received the least number of 1st place votes, although no one really considers her enough to be least-favorite.
Fusions
Fusion | 1st Place Votes | Total Points |
Stevonnie | 655 | 13568 |
Opal | 303 | 12807 |
Sardonyx | 324 | 12099 |
Smoky Quartz | 294 | 11884 |
Alexandrite | 80 | 10957 |
Malachite | 142 | 10619 |
Sugilite | 74 | 9985 |
Rainbow Quartz | 86 | 9613 |
Ruby Squad Fusion | 303 | 7804 |
Above all, we're a Stevonnie subreddit; they finish with more than double the number of 1st place votes than second place in that ranking, Sardonyx. However, there were a fair number of dislikers, which kept Stevonnie from pulling away in total points. Sardonyx is also slightly more polarizing than Opal according to this survey. I think the Ruby Squad Fusion is the most visible proof of some serious misunderstanding, unless there's a huge fanbase for that fusion I'm unaware of. In any case, in total points they finish last anyways. Sugilite finishes with the least 1st place votes. I'm a little man, and I don't like that...
Favorite Secondary Gem
Gem | Votes | Percentage |
Centipeetle | 511 | 22.7% |
Rose | 480 | 21.4% |
Bismuth | 337 | 15% |
Ruby | 318 | 14.1% |
Sapphire | 271 | 12.1% |
Yellow Diamond | 65 | 2.9% |
Most of us were split between Centipeetle and Rose for our favorite secondary gems. I found interesting that Ruby ended up ahead of Sapphire. After our top 5, there's a steep drop off. Among others receiving votes, Lion received five, ahead of Army's lone two supporters.
Least Favorite Secondary Gem
Gem | Votes | Percentage |
Blue Pearl | 308 | 14.1% |
Yellow Pearl | 257 | 11.8% |
Yellow Diamond | 252 | 11.5% |
Eyeball | 234 | 10.7% |
Army | 225 | 10.3% |
Bismuth | 209 | 9.5% |
Blue Diamond | 180 | 8.2% |
Apparently,
stevenuniverse doesn't like characters with a color in their name. Particularly, I find it fascinating that the other Pearls receive the dislike. In terms of commentary, perhaps its their hyping by fans and artists that turns people off? Not sure what reasons of dislike come from their performance in the show, but it certainly is interesting and I'd love to hear from those people. Shout out to that one person who put “The disapproving background Homeworld Gems from The Answer.”
Favorite Human
Human | Votes | Percentage |
Sadie | 486 | 21.7% |
Vidalia | 228 | 10.2% |
Sour Cream | 210 | 9.4% |
Nanefua | 206 | 9.2% |
Onion | 198 | 8.8% |
Jamie | 180 | 8% |
Crewniverse, get us some more ladyboardies! Women take up three of the top four slots. Of course, Vidalia has spoken in about two episodes and Nanefua hasn't gotten a line since Season 2... On a somber note, pour one out for Mr. Fryman, who received a grand total of zero votes, less than Mystery Girl, Yellowtail, Jeff, Garbanzo and Dante.
Least Favorite Human
Human | Votes | Percentage |
Kevin | 477 | 21.5% |
Lars | 403 | 18.1% |
Marty | 283 | 12.7% |
Ronaldo | 242 | 10.9% |
Onion | 164 | 7.4% |
About half the subreddit hates either Kevin, Lars or Marty. Deeper down, I found interesting that Kofi appears doubly hated than Jamie; I never would have guessed that. Also, Kiki and Vidalia are the least hateable people on the show. They should hang out.
Fusion Questions!
Fusion Most Excited to See?
Fusion | Votes | Percentage |
Lapis+Peridot | 809 | 36.1% |
Steven+Pearl | 367 | 16.4% |
Steven+Peridot | 196 | 8.8% |
Steven+Garnet | 191 | 8.5% |
Amethyst+Peridot | 161 | 7.2% |
Steven+Lapis | 113 | 5% |
stevenuniverse is a dirty Lapidot shipper. In other news, we're really excited to see Steven fuse with other gems now that we know it's possible. Honestly, I'm surprised the Steven+Pearl fusion is as highly anticipated as it is, given I don't see much talk or fanart about it here, but hey, that's what the survey is for! The least anticipated fusion is Peridot+Jasper, presumably because even being on that ship is tiring. Others receiving more votes than that one is Alexandrite (or all the Crystal Gems)+Steven (10 votes), the Temple Fusion (Rose + some combination of the Crystal Gems, 9 votes), Greg+Steven (9 votes...), Don't Care Fusion (7 votes) and Any New Fusion (6 votes).
Who will Peridot fuse with first?
Gem | Votes | Percentage |
Lapis | 1269 | 56.6% |
Steven | 398 | 17.7% |
Amethyst | 262 | 11.7% |
Garnet | 159 | 7.1% |
Peridot will never fuse | 109 | 4.9% |
Once again,
stevenuniverse is a dirty Lapidot shipper. The majority believe Peridot will fuse at some point. 2 different voters believe it will be Kevin time.
Gem Personality Questions
Funniest
Gem | Votes | Percentage |
Peridot | 1173 | 52.3% |
Garnet | 339 | 15.1% |
Peridot defeats the Master of Comedy at her own game. Jasper is the most hilarious to 4 precious users.
Most Annoying
Gem | Votes | Percentage |
Jasper | 584 | 27% |
Amethyst | 447 | 20.7% |
Peridot | 350 | 16.2% |
I'd never characterize Jasper as annoying given the little screentime she's afforded, but apparently a quarter of the subreddit believes she's the most annoying of the gems. 80 of you refused to call any gem annoying, and I salute you for taking a stand. Interestingly, 26 votes went to Yellow Pearl, which beats out Garnet. I suppose the smugness can rub some people the wrong way.
Most Intelligent
Gem | Votes | Percentage |
Pearl | 944 | 42.1% |
Garnet | 826 | 36.9% |
Peridot | 339 | 15.1% |
It's pretty much a race between Pearl and Garnet for who is considered the most intelligent of the Crystal Gems. Amethyst received 6 votes, the least of any gem, although 7 votes went to some variation of “Subjective”.
Plot Expectations
- It's pretty much a three-way tie between what interaction Rose will have with Steven; the slightly leading opinion goes to not at all, with 36.9%, while “by Steven retreating into his Gem” and “by a vision or some sort of out-of-body experience” trail at 30-31%.
- 57.7% believe Jasper will be uncorrupted and will end up unaligned, in a similar situation to current-day Lapis. 51% believe Centipeetle will be uncorrupted and join the Crystal Gems outright. While the rest of Jasper votes were split between the other options, stevenuniverse agrees that Centipeetle will definitely not want anything to do with Homeworld.
- The majority of us, 83.6%, believe Steven will go to Homeworld at some point.
- 70.4% believe Peridot and Lapis join the new intro. Once again, stevenuniverse is a dirty Lapidot shipper.
Which character needs more development or backstory?
Character | Votes | Percentage |
Lapis | 497 | 22.2% |
Jasper | 488 | 21.8% |
Pearl | 466 | 20.9% |
Despite hints of Pearl's past being dropped all the time, it seems we still want more Pearl. Even so, more of us want the personalities and histories of Lapis and Jasper to be fleshed out. I should note that 23 of you voted Rose and I think I erred in not adding her as an option here.
How We View How The Fandom Views Characters
Overrated by the fandom
Character | Votes | Percentage |
Jasper | 703 | 32.5% |
Lapis | 489 | 22.6% |
Peridot | 244 | 11.3% |
Jasper wins in the Most Overrated and Most Annoying categories. :( 48 of you entered “None”, more votes than Greg received. Also, who of you entered “The restaurant families”?
Underrated by the fandom
Character | Votes | Percentage |
Greg | 836 | 38.1% |
Connie | 402 | 18.3% |
Amethyst | 333 | 15.2% |
stevenuniverse's consensus: Give the humans more love. And Amethyst is the most human of the gems, so her too! Among others receiving votes, Ronaldo leads with 15 votes.
Favorite Episodes
Since I knew how hard it is to choose one episode, I gave the option to choose your second-favorite. So I'll use that info to use a similar points system as to the favorite characters: 2 points for a favorite vote and 1 for a second-favorite.
Episode | 1st Place Votes | Points |
Mr. Greg | 277 | 739 |
Mindful Education | 177 | 488 |
Jailbreak | 139 | 436 |
Last One Out of Beach City | 131 | 381 |
Bismuth | 115 | 322 |
Rose's Scabbard | 110 | 316 |
Earthlings | 102 | 295 |
Log Date 7 15 2 | 74 | 225 |
Sworn to the Sword | 57 | 175 |
Hit the Diamond | 55 | 162 |
Either Steven Universe has been really good lately, or we're a recency-biased subreddit. Four of the top five episodes were aired during the Steven Nuke this summer or part of Season 4. Pearl is the arguably the focus in four of the top ten, while Garnet occupies spots 2 and 3 of this ranking. Season 2 is the least respected by way of Log Date, its top episode in this ranking, going 8th overall. Beach Party, Open Book, Shirt Club, and The Message (a shocker to me) received zero votes in favorite and second-favorite.
Least Favorite Episode
Episode | Votes |
Say Uncle | 306 |
Frybo | 161 |
The New Lars | 149 |
Onion Gang | 135 |
Cat Fingers | 103 |
Gem Glow | 98 |
Rising Tides, Crashing Skies | 72 |
Garnet's Universe | 71 |
Onion Trade | 59 |
Future Boy Zoltron | 58 |
This vote isn't canon. For hating, it's probably either early Season 1 (3 of the first 6 episodes, and 4 of the first 15 appear here) or the recent spate of Beach City episodes (2 of the last 3 have been busts according to this survey).
Favorite Song
Song | Votes |
It's Over, Isn't It | 535 |

Stronger Than You | 203 |
Love Like You | 182 |
Do It For Her | 111 |
We Are the Crystal Gems | 105 |
Peace and Love | 102 |
Half the subreddit either sides with It's Over or Here Comes a Thought. Pearl and Garnet each have two solo songs, while Amethyst's two majority songs (On the Run and Tower of Mistakes) barely escape the bottom five. Speaking of bottom, Dear Old Dad received one vote, along with Others such as Mirror Gem (Lapis' Theme, 2 votes), Destiny (2 votes), Amalgam (Opal's Theme, 1 vote), Do Or Do Nut (1 vote), Mr. Greg (1 vote) and the Pepe's Burger jingle (1 vote).
Demographics
- Over 50% of the subreddit is between 16 and 23. About 16% are 15 and younger, and 19% are 24 and older.
- Close to a majority of the subreddit lives in the United States (62.6%). However, we have sizable pockets in Canada, the UK/Ireland, continental Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. In addition to the options already offered, we had several pockets of users from Scandinavia, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Also, shoutout to the 2 Icelandic stevenuniverse users and the lone Pacific Islander out there!
- stevenuniverse is about 66% male, 30% female (an upgrade from the last time a survey of this size was done, 20% females about 6 months ago). Approximately 4% of stevenuniverse identifies as transgender (note: the transgender question was done separately from the gender question).
- 53.1% of stevenuniverse users consider themselves heterosexual, in addition to a 22.7% bisexual/pansexual population and a 12.3% homosexual usage rate and a 6.8% asexual representation. 6 of you still use the attack helicopter meme.
AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
submitted by Episodes 63-67 POST ALL OF THE SPOILERS. POST THEM ALL IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE!
Guys… I didn’t even realize last time, but this is going to be my last reactions post D: There are six episodes left, so I might as well do them all in one post. I’m still going to be hanging around on the subreddit, posting theories and commenting on things and whatnot, but this’ll be the last post of this series.
I was right to assume that people were going to have strong opinions about the last set of episodes, because I got a lot of thorough, thoughtful comments about how wrong I am XD There were a lot of people saying the same things and, while I usually try to have a discussion with everyone, I couldn’t feasibly do it this time. I’ll say two things about it, though, that basically everyone brought up…
For one, I never thought Garnet was blameless, and didn’t mean to give the impression that I did. It was wrong of her to intimidate Amethyst into forming Sugilite, but I think the difference between that and what Pearl did was that Garnet was emotionally compromised and made the decision spur-of-the-moment, whereas Pearl planned it out ahead of time. Pearl knew it was wrong, knew Garnet would be upset if she found out, and did it anyway. Premeditated or not, they were both wrong to do what they did.
As for my continued use of fusion as a metaphor for sex (and, consequently, Pearl’s actions as a metaphor for rape), I’m starting to think that trying to define fusion in human terms is just never going to work. While what Pearl did was a betrayal, the human concept of rape has too strong a connotation to be accurate in this situation. I still think it’s a fair comparison to make, but it just doesn’t quite sit right.
u/fennric linked me to
this, which is the best commentary on fusion that I’ve seen so far. So I’m just going to point you all to that, and be done with this debate :P
Episode 68 – Nightmare Hospital • CONNIE!!!
• So she still hasn’t told her parents about the glasses?
• That sword is a little big for her
• You can tell Connie’s experienced at lying to her parents… and Steven’s obviously not haha
• “Do you know how many children I see in the hospital who cut their faces off playing with swords?” Um?
• “None!” Oh lol, that was a bad place to pause apparently
• She just puts it in her duffle??? Pretty sure you can’t take that into a hospital
• My mom is like a mix of Pearl and Mrs. Maheswaran
• Lion lickers! Of course haha
• AW THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS
• Oh god, what’s under the blanket?
• ????
• “No heartbeat.” OH THAT’S NORMAL
• DON’T GO IN THERE!!!
• IT’S A FORCED FUSION???!!!!
• I thought we took care of these things!
• “It’s my other patient.” OH REALLY?
• “Now is not the time!” NOW IS DEFINITELY THE TIME
• OH GOD NO CONNIE
• Yay! Steven to the rescue!
• “My Connie!” <3
• OH NO THEY’RE SO CREEPY
• Hey his bubble did the animation with the flower thing again… has it always done that?
• “All her activities, all her internets.” lol
• “What, your eyesight just magically got better?” “YES” I love Connie XD
• OH SHIT LOOK AT THOSE TWO WORKING TOGETHER
• They’re so… competent, damn
• “It scares me that you can’t talk to me. I need to know what’s happening in your life, I need to step in when you’re in over your head.” Aw, well said
• HE HUGGED THE SWORD OH NO
• Suddenly, sadness :(
• Nice Connie episode! I really thought the CGs had poofed all of the fusion mutations in the Kindergarten, but I suppose I’m not complaining because they’re definitely the creepiest monsters this show has thrown at me. Connie and Steven were badasses, as usual. I wonder if Connie will still wear her glasses-frames? She doesn’t really need to anymore.
Episode 69 (eheh) – Sadie’s Song • Is Sadie gonna sing???
• Oh hey, beachapalooza again (which I still don’t know how to spell)
• Oooh, she does have a song! And it’s catchy!
• lol, she just throws that box
• “It’s so cheesy and dumb and catchy and… I know every single word.” I relate to this so hard
• I feel like Sadie looks older in this one, but idk maybe that’s just because I haven’t seen her in a while
• She lives in her parent’s basement? Interesting
• “Ever since my act two years ago, there’s been a rule that you gotta wear clothes.” Wow Steven XD
• “That one’s pretty!” … Steven, do you want to wear it?
• OH MY GOD ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME??? SHE’S SADIE’S MOM???
• “I knew you delivered mail but I didn’t know you delivered Sadie!” LMAO
• That might have been the best joke Steven’s ever made, I almost pissed myself
• Oh, she’s one of THOSE moms… can’t say I can relate, in this case. My mom is a lot of things, but overenthusiastic is not one of them :3
• Damn, Steven and Barb should do this routine XD
• Is that Peridot on Ronaldo’s chalkboard?
• Wow, Sadie looks like death lol
• Aw, I like Mr. Smiley. I feel like we haven’t seen a lot of these townspeople in a while, it’s nice to see them again
• Everyone needs an emergency supply of glitter… in case of fabulousness
• “Please mom, don’t make me do this…”
• “I just wanted everyone to know how talented my daughter is!” “
This is not your daughter.” daaaaaaamn
•
OH MY GOD STEVEN • BEAUTIFUL, 10/10
• Oh, that ending was really cute
• Well, now I know where that Jamie-Steven came from! I love this episode, it’s so happy and wholesome and no one’s sad except for me because I only have four episodes left –cries-
Episode 70 – Catch and Release This is the last video! And the only one where I’d consider my reaction legitimately embarrassing… I may have shed a few happy tears. Also, spoiler alert: No one walked in on me talking to myself.
• -sings intro- I sang the whole thing this time :3
• “Playful kitty” ??? lol
• Oh! Peridot?
• !!!
• Oh she’s still missing her foot! [she didn’t tie a cardboard box to her leg, dang]
• I feel a little bad for her… just a little bit
• -imitates Peridot’s hand motions-
• I don’t think Steven’s spit is going to work
• Nu-uh
• Aw, I do feel bad for her
• “It’s not going to be like anything soon!” Excuse me?
• -CGs arrive- Are they actually gonna get her this time? I kinda hope so.
• -Garnet does electricity thing- Yeah!
• -Garnet poofs Peridot- Daaaaamn!
• The arms and legs
aren’t part of her body! I knew it.
• She didn’t crush her, did she?
• Okay, no. Nice job
• Pfft, Amethyst, we might’ve needed those
• I wanna know what Peridot was going to say, man!
• Steven’s gonna pop her bubble I bet
• -gets scared by Amethyst- Jesus Christ…
• (you can hear my school’s clocktower chiming in the background, lol)
• Rose’s room?! Yeah!
• No, you gotta pop the bubble. Do it!
• “I know there’s a way down from here!” Oooh! Like from… whatever the fuck that episode was. Together Breakfast!
• Yes! She doesn’t have the arms!
• Awwww! she’s so tiny!!!
• -muffled- Oh my god she is so adorable
• -squealing- I love her!
• Oh, she’s adorable!
• OH MY GOD SHE’S SO CUTE
• SHE’S SMALLER THAN STEVEN
• -laughing at Steven and Peridot’s slap fight-
• I can’t get over this, man, I will never get over it
• “You really want to know?” Yes.
• “You really, really want to know?” YES
• “What’s your shirt?” LOL
• Oh my god, she’s such a child
• Peridot, you done goofed
• -giggling over Peridot running from the CGs- Oh my god this is ridiculous
• Is she in the bathroom?
• This is amazing
• Is she gonna try to flush herself down the toilet?
• -DIES-
• “Duh, homegirl knows we’re gonna beat her into a green pancake.” I love Amethyst
• She’s making faces in the mirror! Oh my god. I can’t believe this small child
• “You filthy war machine!” Hey, now!
• This is so ridiculous… so she just lives there now?
• “What’re we going to do? Put her on a leash?” I mean…
• “What’s with you guys and making me pee outside?!” Like Sapphire?
• She just lives there now! I can’t believe this show
• Awwww she’s sooooo cute! Wow…
• -whimpering over how cute Peridot is-
• “Whatever it is, I wanna help!” Aw, that’s nice
• Are you kidding me right now? That was amazing! I love that episode… she just lives in his bathroom now, it’s fine, no big deal
• Peridot went from being a formidable opponent to being Steven’s new little sister and/or pet cat in the 2 seconds it took her to reform XD I’m wondering what the hell the cluster is, because first I thought it was going to be new Kindergarten gems, then I thought it was the forced fusions, and now I just have no idea. Apparently it’s going to destroy Earth, though, which is not good. I’m just so happy that Peridot lives with them now, maybe she’ll eventually be an honorary Crystal Gem, herself. After all… they kept Amethyst.
Episode 71 – When it Rains • I want Peridot to be in the intro, now
• Tell her, Garnet!
• “Is it like a big… hunk of… granola?” Okay, one of you assholes said that to me, who the hell was it?
I don’t remember, but I bet it was the Spider guy • lol, Pearl’s kind of adorable when she’s mad
• “I love you, bye <3” JUST FUCK ME UP
• -bursts out of the bathroom- “IT’S HAPPENING” O.o
• Aw, she’s huddling behind Steven
• “I don’t know anything without my screen.” S A M E
• Steven’s pretty smart
• Oh man, that whole scene with Peridot in the rain was really powerful. I don’t know if it was the music or the angels or the little “cool” at the end, but it got to me
• “Thank you.” Wow
• Peridot is such a child, I wonder how old she is, actually
• “You want me to take you to the Kindergarten?” This sounds like an exceptionally bad idea
• Oooohhhh nooooo, Steven reaching out to touch Peridot’s hand when they fall. This episode is too much for my heart
• Hmm, so Peridot knows about Steven being a hybrid, now. Not sure how I feel about that
• “When it became clear that Earth was no longer a viable colony,” So they made the forced fusions after the war, but I thought Homeworld left after they lost?
• Lol, Peridot’s so genuinely impressed by Steven’s strength
• “What’s up Dot?” I love these two
• “A single giant artificial fusion comprised of millions of gem shards. The Cluster.” WOW WE’RE SCREWED
• “It’s you, Steven!” Peridot I think you’re overestimating this child’s ability to stop giant mutant gems buried deep under the Earth
• Oh wow, is she going to ask Greg for help now? That’d be amazing
• YIKES the fusions… that one with the big mouth is creepy
• “Let’s run into this corner!” “Oh no! We’re cornered!” JESUS LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH
• The gems are kick-ass! And Garnet’s using her electric powers so much more lately
• Dang, dat ending though
• Well, now we know what the Cluster is. It feels weird, asking a question and then having it get answered in the next episode. I might get spoiled if they do this too often.
Episode 72 – Back to the Barn • Pfft, she couldn’t have just told them about the Cluster? Come to think of it, she didn’t really need to go to the Kindergarten, either. She could’ve just told Steven everything he needed to know.
• I don’t know why, but I really like the way Peridot says “crust”
• “What a cluster…” if there was no such thing as censors, she would’ve definitely said clusterfuck
• Hehe, the little silent conversation between Pearl and Amethyst
• NO NOT THE TV THIS ONE LASTED SO LONG!
• UUU Space Travel is back!
• “You can go now.” ??!!
• “Because Pearl’s aren’t for this! They’re for standing around and looking nice and holding your stuff for you!” OH BOY
• “She’s a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other Pearls being flaunted around back on Homeworld.” WOW I WAS NOT EXPECTING SO MANY ANSWERS I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF
• DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH PEARL –hisses-
• Oh my god, did she used to belong to Rose? That would make so much sense…
• Tell her, Pearl!
• lol, Steven… “-whispers- Robots…”
• Oh man, I love the combo of Pearl’s music style with Peridot’s
• “We’re building robots now.” XD
• Wow, that was fast
• Aw, Steven totally rigged this so that they’d each be good at half of them
• “Tree” LOL
• What was going on with Garnet and the popcorn?
• “Subjective” Bullshit, Pearl’s was totally better
• Sexuality: Garnet yelling “get it gurl!”
• Just fight each other, it’s the only way a giant robot competition can end
• Haha, they actually are fighting XD
• “Fight, fight, fight!” I’m with Amethyst lol
•
OOOOHHHHHHH • Yikes, Pearl got her ass handed to her… but it was all worth it for that sick right hook!
• No one cares, Peridot
• “Welcome to Earth” <3
• Aw, nice save, Peridot
• “Aaaaah! We’re doomed!” Ominous?
• This explains SO much of Pearl’s character; her self-hatred, for one, and her complete dedication to Rose. Even if she wasn’t Rose’s made-to-order servant, the mentality was probably so ingrained in her head that she at least subconsciously thought of Rose as her “master.” That relationship was super unhealthy… possibly the reason why Rose ended up getting with Greg instead of Pearl? She probably didn’t want to take advantage of Pearl. Maybe I’m reading too much into this :3 I really love that Pearl stuck up for herself; it shows how far she’s come. I think that talk with Garnet in Friendship really got through to her, which makes me happy.
Episode 73 – Too Far • Trying really hard not to think about how this is the last episode
• Failing at not thinking about how this is the last episode D:
• Aw, I’m glad they’re working together
• “Singing… crying… singing while crying.” Holy shit, this is where you guys got that from? I’ve heard that phrase quite a few times while doing these reactions
• The logs are like her security blanket
• “Would you mind unfusing? It’s making me incredibly uncomfortable.” GTFO
• LOL GARNET AGREES
• Huh, Peridot and Amethyst are kind of… friends? This is weird
• “You’ll know when I’m joking.” Honestly I think Garnet dislikes Peridot the most out of all of the CGs.
• Peridot really is a huge nerd
• “She’s not even fighting!”
•
WOW • STEVEN DO NOT COPY THAT
• Amethyst and Peridot are almost getting along too well for my comfort
• “despite the fact that you’re defective!” ???
• Hmm, so you’re saying size matters?
• “Are you saying I’m wrong?” “Gemetically speaking, yes!” DUDE this suddenly got real for me
• “Look at that! You can do everything a
normal quartz can do!” dude
• “Would that make it… carbony? :3” Steven, stop
• Oh, fuck off, Peridot
• I really love Peridot’s VA, though. She’s really good
• Uh oh
• lol, I love Steven’s messed up hair
•
and in the distance, you can almost hear me shouting “gaaaaaaay!” • “I blame the cows” XD
• “I hope you understand. I
want to understand. I’m sorry.” Oh shucks, I forgive her
• “How do you feel?” “Big.” nooooooOOOOOOOOO IT’S OVER
• Well, it was a good note to end on, at least :( I really identified with Amethyst in this episode; I have a genetic disability, so that “gemetically speaking” line hit close to home for me. Though I do think Amethyst was being a bit of a jerk before that, laughing at Garnet and Steven’s expense. The end was really nice, though. Peridot’s definitely improving. Even though it ended well, I think this may have lasting implications for Amethyst. She already has body image issues... this, plus the fact that Garnet and Pearl probably knew she was defective and neglected to mention it to her, will probably all come up again.
Final Thoughts: Well… shit! It’s over, I’m caught up. That was quite a ride! Do I really need to say how much I love this show? Because I really love this show. I wouldn’t have put so much effort into writing these reactions and doing all my theory-crafting if it didn’t have a special place in my heart. I’m loving season 2 so far; it’s leagues better than season 1, in my opinion. I especially adored the whole Sardonyx arch, and I’m really enjoying this Peridot development, too! What an odd place for the show to go on hiatus… right in the middle of a big plot point.
In the future, obviously I’m looking forward to seeing them take on the Cluster. I can only assume Yellow Diamond is going to show up soon, since they showed her in the extended intro, so I’m really looking forward to meeting her, too! This should shock exactly no one, but I want us to get a Garnet episode soon, specifically, an episode about Peridot and her prejudiced views of Garnet as a fusion.
Really, though, I just want to see more of these characters. I’m more attached to these space rocks on a children’s show than I am to any other fictional characters, and I just want to see more of them in any capacity! You guys were right all along; this show isn’t about the plot, it’s all about the characters.
To answer a couple questions before they get asked…

(That was really hard, you don’t want to know how long I agonized over that)
I don’t usually show people my drawings, but I’ve been sketching Steven Universe fanart in the margins of my notes basically since Arcade Mania (see:
one of my OCs stealing Garnet’s glasses) And I’m pretty sure you guys are unlikely to laugh at me, so here we are :P
Some of my slightly more finished drawings include…
The only time I was ever able to draw Steven with any accuracy Peridot blushing at… someone (insert ship here) This tiny!Peridot that I threw together just now I would like to end this post with a heartfelt plea to please send me all of the links to your favorite fan-made things! Or other official content (I hear there are shorts? I’ve seen a couple but it would be nice to have a list of them all.) Basically, I need things that will hold me over until the next episode. I gave you guys these reactions, now pay it forward XD
Seriously, though, thank you all for reading my ramblings! Without you guys, I would never have watched this show. And boy, did it deserve to be watched! Stay cool forever, guys. Arrivederci.
