The Diamond Ship

Con el especial “Wanted” de Steven Universe nos revelan que posiblemente las naves de las diamantes puedan ensamblarse para formar un robot gigante, siendo Diamante Blanco el torso y la cabeza, Diamante Amarillo la mano derecha, Diamante Azul la mano izquierda y Diamante Rosa las piernas asi que hice este dibujo en base a esa teoria, espero que les guste.

With the special “Wanted” of Steven Universe it was revealed to us the possibility that the diamond ships could be assembled to form a giant robot, with White Diamond the torso and the head, Yellow Diamond the right hand, Blue Diamond the left hand, and Pink Diamond the legs so I made this drawing based on that theory, I hope you like it.

on Steven Universe and how to love

Thinking about that SU episode where Jamie got a crush on Garnet and she wound up giving the speech about how love at first sight isn’t a thing, love takes time and work and you can’t really love someone you don’t even know.

I remember there was a subset of the fandom who got really sarcastic about Garnet, aka Ruby and Sapphire, lecturing anyone about love at first sight. Because they fell into a perfect relationship the first time they met, right?

Except, no. Further episodes exploring their history and relationship have made it clear that their relationship *has* taken time and hard work, and has been far from a ‘everything worked perfectly at first sight’ fairy tale. Garnet’s relationship was deeper and more complex than it appeared, except we didn’t know because we didn’t really know Garnet yet. We’d barely met her.

And I think this is fascinating as an overall theme of the series:

People are universally more complicated than you can work out without getting to know them, and anytime we’ve assumed we understood everything about a character and their motivations from our first impressions we’ve always been proven wrong.

Literally every character.

Do you remember when Greg Universe seemed like a slacker hands-off dad? When Peridot was a cruel torturer certain to betray the gems at first opportunity? When Lars’ and Sadie’s dynamic was obviously one-sided and toxic rather than a complicated but sincere long-standing friendship? When we thought we understood Yellow Diamond’s motivations? When Rose’s history was the clearcut story of the peasant hero who loved everyone, rather than a runaway royal trying to learn how to love anyone?

You have to get to know people before you can honestly love them. Or hate them. You don’t know who someone is from a glance.

Something I think is interesting is if you consider Warp Tour through The Return from Peridot’s perspective, it’s a little bit like…

Imagine you’re working in a good-sized office building. It has a basement, but it’s always locked and you’ve never been there. One day your boss hands you the keys, tells you there’s a fax machine down there, and asks you to go see if it’s working.

You head into the basement, and it’s really creepy down there. There’s weird graffiti on the walls and like… mysterious arrangements of paperclips that you have no idea who put them there or why. But you are here, you have a job to do, you are good at your job, you are finding that fax machine.

And then suddenly a bunch of people you have never seen before jump out of nowhere, strike poses, rattle off some kind of motto and start attacking you. 

You book it back up the stairs and lock the door behind you, because, holy crap, there are people living in the basement, why did no one tell you about this. And naturally the first thing you do is blab to Security and by Security I mean that one ex-Navy Seal with all the tattoos who’s built like she wrestles grizzly bears in her spare time and somehow ended up on security detail in an office building right here at this point in your life when ordinary security will not suffice, because sometimes the corporate gods are merciful. 

And not only does she believe you, but she just sorta looks you over and goes “oh, yeah, those guys. I know who those guys are. Let’s go, I’ve got some unfinished business with them.”

And then to make situations way weirder there’s some other person who shows up around this time who has apparently been held hostage by the basement people for longer than you’ve been working here and she’s deeply alarmed by the phone system and she comes along even though she really doesn’t want to because you have Security on your side and Security probably benches I-beams, and you are totally confident you are going to kick these basement-lurking weirdos’ butts. 

And then the whole situation goes rapidly downhill and then before you know it you’ve been indoctrinated into the basement cult.
