I don’t need you to love me, I love me

I’m gonna miss writing about Pearl.

As the loneliest Crystal Gem, a loyal servant who became a fierce ally, then a spurned lover, then a grieving survivor, Pearl’s story is about discovering who she can be on her own terms. Like Steven, she believes that her value comes from being valued, but unlike Steven, she was literally programmed this way and has an even harder time breaking loose, so she starts off at the toxic level of selfish selflessness that threatens to consume him, directed towards someone who’s been dead for years. She defines herself by her relationships, but struggles with all of them because she only understands a dynamic where one person is superior and the other is inferior; as such, her life is an endless evaluation of whether she’s worse or better than the people around her, thus whether she should be deferential or condescending. Her problem goes beyond not knowing how to develop loving relationships with equals: she doesn’t know how to love herself.

But she changes her mind.

“We need to talk about us.”

The first act of Change Your Mind (which lines up nicely with its first quarter) sets the stage with Blue and Yellow both converting to Steven’s cause, and while compelling, it’s appropriately intense. That intensity gets even higher as the episode continues, but this is still a big finale, so it’s about damn time for some fanservice.

After a quick “go to your rooms” to reinforce that White Diamond is the Diamonds’ mother more than their older sister, Connie gets the body part pun train rolling: “face-off” will soon be followed by “did you have a hand in this?” and “lend me a hand” (which earns a chuckle from Blue), Pink’s legs succumb when Steven takes a knee, and getting into White’s head becomes the primary goal of the second act (so all of this second quarter and most of the third). Still, the levity seems fleeting before two glints in the sky bring us the one-two punch of Bismuth leading the charge and Lapis and Peridot showing off their threads.

Bismuth fits right in as the leader of the B-Team, as beyond her seniority she’s clearly more competent at running a show than the other two (see: The New Crystal Gems). But her reverse electric guitar soon cedes to a glorious harmony of Lapis and Peridot’s themes as we see their new forms: Lapis gets pants and sandals, and Peridot gets ridiculous shades and a trashcan lid, the perfect adaptation of Static’s saucer for the Crystal Gems’ resident raccoon. Peridot goes ham with three stars, while Lapis wears a subtle dark blue variant that includes all five points if we count her legs. For a moment, everything is right in the world.

Their timing couldn’t be better, and not just because we need some stress relief. Steven begins the finale with one friend on his side, then he gets two Diamonds on his side, and now he has three reinforcements on his side, and this growing group of allies all represent what the Big Three Crystal Gems can’t: the family that Steven has chosen, rather than the family he grew up with. These relationships are all a result of his effort, whether going out of his way to befriend Connie or winning over the five former enemies that now stand at his side, and together they‘re one huge reminder that you can reach people if they’re willing to be reached. White Diamond isn’t a villain because she’s cruel, she’s a villain because she quashes any effort to change her mind.

Furthermore, seeing Lapis and Peridot in particular next to a pale, prejudiced, recently-discovered member of Steven’s extended family who disagrees with a parent’s name change evokes that other long episode where Steven went out on a limb to change someone’s mind, and the comparison does wonders for putting White Diamond’s bigotry in perspective.

I’ve already made my defense of Andy, but in short, his irritable first impression masks how open-minded he ends up being. Sure, he has some lousy beliefs, but he’s willing to sit down with folks he disagrees with and try and look for ways to either compromise or straight-up be convinced that those beliefs might be wrong. On its own, Gem Harvest could be read as a little too hopeful, especially as it came out weeks after the 2016 election gave proud bigots the White House, but next to Change Your Mind it expands on the finale’s message: keep an open heart and mind, because people can surprise you if you give them a chance, but don’t let yourself be a doormat in the process.

White Diamond would never have come to the Crystal Gems’ table. She still hasn’t even shown up in person since Legs From Here to Homeworld, using a warped version of the same delegation Steven practices in his talks with the Diamonds: he helps others bring their individual experiences to light, showing that his position isn’t unique, while she blots out their individuality and replaces them with her. Blue and Yellow’s contrast has been a plot point for far longer, but Pink and White (and now Steven and White) are an even starker pair of foils, divided not only by personality but by size and age.

Knowing how hard it will be to reach White, Yellow and Blue again suggest that Steven and the Crystal Gems bail, offering their own ships now that Pink’s is unavailable. While this shows how profoundly they believe in him, it again reveals how unfamiliar these two are with being “good.” Beyond the plan only delaying the inevitable (White Diamond for sure could send more troops to Earth in this scenario), Steven points out that his mother failed in both of her identities to confront the problem in a healthy way, and continuing to avoid it will mean it never gets solved. Rose is still a progression from Pink and Yellow and Blue, as fighting for your beliefs addresses the issue more directly than running away, but Steven in turn is a progression from Rose.

Then Connie’s opening words in Blue and Yellow’s conversions pay off. This time she’s the one ending the conversation, and she’s gained enough of their attention that they don’t write her off as a blathering human. Steven never got to meet Rose, rank-and-file Gems don’t have parents, and White Diamond seems to be the root of it all, so Connie is the ideal voice to reach the Diamond Sisters: she’s the only other person on the planet with a living mother. Where Dr. Maheswaran at her worst once stood in for Yellow Diamond, she can now represent the bigger fish, both in her similar brand of maternal tyranny and in the hope that her attitude can change after a good talk.

And just as Connie takes over Steven’s role as the big finisher for Blue and Yellow, Steven takes over Connie’s role as the voice introducing bigger voices now that it’s time to face White. He works with his aunts to bring his grandmother to a standstill—not by beating her statue-like ship into submission, but by joining the arm-ships to the body and completing the picture—and says his piece briefly before ceding the floor to a pair that White has victimized for far longer than the past week or so.

I love that Yellow is the first to speak, flipping the Diamonds’ conversion order and subverting the notion that the more emotionally open Blue might take the lead. This isn’t just a matter of clarity, but bravery, and Yellow has always been the more confrontational of the pair. It’s also that much more impactful to see Yellow push past her fear and allow herself to be vulnerable, given how hard she’s worked to maintain her air of stoicism. Patti LuPone’s raw power has served the character well, and she keeps up the same petulant energy that saw Yellow dishing about White in Familiar, but now she funnels all of it into a stirring argument against the exacting nature of Homeworld society. And because Yellow helps pave the way, Blue can deepen their point by defending Pink’s role in the quartet and detailing how White’s orders have caused the whole family to suffer.

Steven bookends the Diamonds by suggesting that White can start helping everyone by helping her daughters. Then White shows what kind of “help” she’s willing to provide.

Pink’s former pearl was already proof that White Diamond has the power to possess others, but it’s another thing to see it in action. The whole episode so far has been about building up hope again after Steven is knocked down by Homeworld, but all it takes is one agonizing glare to send everything backwards. Blue and Yellow are even worse off than they were before, and as they’re brought into White’s fold, their arms follow suit. White drops the Crystal Gems and lets them fall, then Steven drops the Crystal Gems and dives after them.

As he slides down alien architecture on his shield, the soundtrack gives a nod to the theme song to prepare us for more fanservice. Now that White has made it clear that talking isn’t going to get us anywhere, it’s time for more action. Now that we’ve established the importance of Steven’s chosen family, it’s time to reconnect with the family he was born into.

Amethyst is first, because of course she is. She’s usually the quickest to reform, and she’s the only Gem that Steven has fused with, so Smoky Quartz is the best start if the goal is reeling off three fusions in a row with a growing sense of excitement. Smoky’s theme heralds this new development with glee, evoking the pure joy of seeing a new fusion from Earthlings as it becomes clear what the show is doing. Fusion has recently featured as a stand-in for marriage and an act of rebellion, but now it represents familial love, and doubles as an elegant plot device to get the poofed crew back in action. The wonder of fusion has always been that beyond whatever metaphor it currently serves, it’s also just a really neat piece of magic that lends itself to awesome visuals, and this whole sequence revels in the glorious spectacle.

Pearl is second, because we’ve already seen another version of Rainbow Quartz, so the biggest reveal is bound to be the Garnet fusion. Rainbow Quartz 2.0 blends the old with the new, immediately showing off the latest clever fusion of weapons (a shield and a spear into a parasol) and introducing a blue jacket that will soon belong to Pearl. The drumkit/chiptune mashup of Smoky’s theme is replaced by a piano/chiptune mashup, and then this new fusion opens their mouth.

Of all of Steven’s fusions with a female or female-presenting partner, this is the one with a male voice actor, and it couldn’t be more perfect. Rainbow Quartz was the only one of Rose’s fusions that we saw, and Now We’re Only Falling Apart shows that she was the second-ever cross-Gem fusion after Garnet (that we know of), so she was clearly something special. Pearl’s romantic interest in Rose complicates matters further, as Rainbow Quartz is an embodiment of a deeply imperfect relationship. This is a character with a lot of baggage, but casting Alastair James puts a hard stop to the idea that this is the same Rainbow Quartz, even before we hear them refer to themself as “2.0.” After the literal nightmare that begins Change Your Mind and the figurative nightmare to come, it’s wonderful to have one more piece of evidence that Steven and Rose are different people.

Amethyst and Pearl, like Lapis and Peridot, get great new looks, and they’ll soon be followed by Garnet (after the commercial break). If this was just for the sake of fanservice, it’d be more than enough: it’s always fun to get outfit changes, and between that and the fusions (including Sunstone and Obsidian; again, after the commercial break!) we get a pleasant treat to sate us between the drama. But as always, the show finds a way to create deeper meaning in the magic.

The Diamonds look the same now as they did thousands of years ago, and one of the reasons why is that they’re unbreakable. Creating a new form requires poofing, which is a very silly way to say that the Crystal Gems have found a way to grow through pain.

Life will always have its share of pain. Part of growing up, maybe the biggest part, is figuring out what you’re going to do about it. The Diamonds react to pain by closing themselves off and letting their problems fester rather than addressing them head-on. But over the course of the series, Lapis and Peridot and Amethyst and Pearl and Garnet have put in the work to learn from their pain and heal, and because they’re literal projections of their true selves, they get a physical manifestation of that growth that can only come after weathering one more blow.

To be clear, pain itself shouldn’t be glamorized. It sucks, and it’s okay if your reaction is to take care of yourself rather than use it for Creative Fuel. But the Crystal Gems are what happens when you deal with your pain, and the Diamonds are what happens when you don’t. And because Steven shares the legacy of both, Steven Universe is about him helping others through their pain and Steven Universe Future is about finally confronting his own.

We end with the most frustrating commercial break of the three, coming right in the middle of the second act, so we’ll just keep on going with fusions and new outfits next time. But if we have to stop partway through a scene, at least we get a Monty Python Foot to stamp out the first half of Change Your Mind.

I Can’t Believe We’ve Come So Far

Hilary Florido is the only storyboarder with their own recurring segment in Steven, Universally. But every other storyboarder had plenty of opportunities to make a fully realized High School AU in their promo art, and none of them did, so that’s on them.

Florido is obviously more than her promo art, but it speaks to a specific level of nerdy passion that made her and longtime coboarder Jesse Zuke so dang good at Peridot episodes, starting with just their second collaboration, the iconic Catch and Release. From there they gave us Too Far and Log Date 7 15 2 and Barn Mates and Too Short to Ride and Beta and Gem Harvest, and Florido kept the ride going with Raising the Barn. Peridot would not be Peridot without Hilary Florido.

In terms of more serious clods, Florido is the only person to board all three Kevin appearances (Alone Together with Rebecca Sugar and first regular coboarder Katie Mitroff, Beach City Drift with Zuke, and Kevin Party with final regular coboarder Danny Cragg, who also stopped boarding after the movie). She gave us as Ronaldo at his worst in Rocknaldo and Aquamarine at her worst in I Am My Mom. And as if she needed further proof of her prowess with harrowing material, she gave us Alone at Sea and A Single Pale Rose.

It’s weird to attribute good Steven writing to any one boarder, given he’s in every episode but Jungle Moon and he’s generally pretty great, but Florido worked on some of the most important moments of Steven letting us into his deeper thoughts: she’s behind him getting real with the Cool Kids in Joy Ride, with Amethyst in Steven vs. Amethyst, and with himself in a rare monologue in Lion 4. His ability to discuss the uncomfortable subtext of Mystery Girl’s visual similarity to Rose is key to the magnificent tone of Last One Out of Beach City, and his introspection about his mother’s older identity is just as important to Familiar.

In short, Hilary Florido rocked at characters with rough edges, whether it was Peridot’s ornery id, a bevy of outright villains ruining everyone’s day, normally sympathetic characters doing dubious things, or Steven giving himself enough of a break to complain. She stepped up as a storyboard supervisor for Steven Universe Future, but even if she hadn’t, her legacy would be secure.

(Frankly it’d be secure even if the only thing she gave us was this.)

PLS ignore

I wish i could use some of my photos, but I had some problems with my mac and 2016 claimed my 40GB photos library. I’m mad as hell.

Anyway, without further preamble, thanks @n3rd-p0w3r for tagging me. Love ya, kid.

· Relationship status?: Single.

· Lipstick or chapstick?: I use more lipstick these days, mostly because I lose the lip balms constantly.

· Last song listened to?: Hmm, I think it was “Life’s Too Short” of the deleted Frozen soundtrack. I read something about the sequel and I started investigating how the first movie was made and I think I like this movie again, I hate the fandom, but I like the movie.

· Favourite colour(s)?: Blue. But a light blue. I also like red a lot. Ironically, my room is green.

· Last movie I watched?: I watched Frozen with my brother and my cousin when I babysat them a few days ago.

· Top three shows?: UGH, I am not someone who likes TV shows that much, I always forget to keep up with them.

Doctor Who, even though it is shit 90% of the time, it has managed to keep my attention for 9 series.

Black Mirror is my current obsession

???

· Top three characters?: HOLD YOUR SEATS YOU MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLES BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE LONG

Clara Oswald. I love Clara Oswald with all my heart and I can’t believe that the fandom has such a complicated history with her. By that I mean that I do believe it, I hate fandoms. Basically, her whole character arc is a subversion, even in series 7, when people said that she had no personality, she was a subversion. She was meant to be both similar enough to be close to the other companions, but she did have a personality of her own, even if it was in the background because The Doctor (and the audience) was too engrossed by her supposed mystery to pay attention to her. Actually, all those things that she exhibits in s8 more prominently are anchored in s7. In s8 you see her grown from the recent uni grad that she was in s7 to a mature, controlled woman. It is a mask, as always, and her flaws and assets are still one and the same. After the end of s8, though, she has learnt so much, she can lie both to save her life and to control others, she is smart and quick witted, she is a leader and a control freak, and she has to keep her masks. S9 is a direct result of that, with her lying and cheating and that wanderlust she had at the very beginning becoming recklessness, which all combined lead her into a suicidal attitude. Man, I love Clara Oswald.

Cosette Fauchelevent. I can’t believe that after all these years I can still spell her last name. ANYWAY LET ME SPEAK ABOUT THIS LITTLE SHIT. In the musical, Cosette barely appears and when she does, it is only to sing with Marius about their love and be cute, IN THE BOOK SHE IS ALWAYS MOCKING MARIUS. Marius is a loser no matter what I love you too Marius but Cosette is literally one of the most motherfucking badass characters in the book. I mean, she is literally the embodiment of what Les Amis are fighting for, she is the destitute that rose because someone was kind to her, because everyone can rise, and also everyone can fall--that’s Éponine’s story btw. Also, I cry every time when I read about Valjean trying to hug her as a child and her thinking that he was going to hit her.

Barbara Gordon. Aka Batgirl aka Oracle aka Batgirl again. First of all, comics are not my thing and I’ll admit that I’ve read only a small quantity of them and that I find Batman incredibly boring. But, boy, I love the Batfam. Babs story has changed a lot, because that’s apparently something that comic writers do a lot, so obviously I’m gonna kind of ignore some continuities, but basically Barbara is the daughter of James Gordon aka the Commissioner aka the cop that helps Batman and she wants to be a cop but her father won’t let her so she makes a homemade Batman costume to a Fancy dress party to make her father mad, but some C list villain tries to kidnap Bruce Wayne and she saves him and since nobody knew who she was she becomes Batgirl, eventually earning the seal of approval of Batman himself. She operates mostly alone, though she is friends with Robin/Dick. In some continuities she is older than him, in the current one, they are the same age. Anyway, she was doing it because it was fun, but it is Gotham and it fucks people up, so after Bruce and Dick fight and Dick leaves to be with the Teen Titans, Babs quits being Batgirl to take care of her father. The Joker shows up one day at their place and he shoots her, leaving her paralysed, and takes pictures of her bleeding out, naked, to torture her father. She becomes Oracle, though, a hacker that specialises in fucking villains plans and is a leader to like 3 superhero teams. In the current continuity she is cured and goes back to becoming Batgirl again and everything else is really controversial to get into but that’s why i like it.

· Top three ships?:

Whouffle. Any Doctor and any Clara, I’m in for it. Especial shout out for souffez because it’s been forgotten by the fandom for quite a while now. Also, I love that this was a ship that was a) kinda love at first sight from the Doctor’s point of view and b) something that grew with friendship from Clara’s point of view and c) something that was both so good that its dissolution was both foretold and feared, but it was a prophecy so it obviously was self fulfilling. Also, I really like that it can be read as either a romance or a friendship even though everyone says it is a romance

Dick and Babs. Friends to Lovers is my favourite romantic trope, well that and when the characters flaws that have nothing to do with a relationship fuck the relationship and hoop boy these two are fucked up. I mean, they worked with Bruce Wayne, they needed to be fucked up. I actually really dislike the current continuity version of their relationship but I still think that it can be saved, like extremely easily saved. Fuck you, Didio.

Jane Eyre and Rochester. Okay, but this book took me by surprise because I thought that it was gonna be one of those creepy romances in which the main dude does a lot of fucked up things and nobody calls him out BUT THIS BOOK DOES THAT AND PUNISHES HIM. Jane takes none of his shit until he learns and even then, she too has to change. I love Jane Eyre.

yo do this if you want @/anyone

#man this took way too ling #but it was fun #i could have written more about everything but i was tired #about me #2017 #my text

FULL BIO

Jennifer Silverfur is a 29-year-old female grey shorthair cat who currently resides near Long Beach. She is the youngest daughter of Andrew and Helen Silverfur and the youngest of three sisters; her older sisters are Regina and Tara Silverfur, both of whom are currently single and (at the moment) missing.

Jenny (as she likes to be called) was born in Los Angeles to an Irish father and a French mother. She had spent most of her kittenhood in Riverside, San Bernardino, and Palmdale, before moving back to L.A. to attend high school. After graduating from college, Jenny set up residence in Mobius, where she began her first job as a detective working alongside the town's local police force. It was through one of their former colleagues that she found out about an Indycar team called Kinnetics Racing; she eventually joined in 2012 as the team ambassador and worked her way up to becoming the team co-owner about a year later. She married her old kittenhood idol Super Snooper, who was the team's owner at the time, on May 26, 2013 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), in an event that remains one of the biggest most televised moments in the team's history. The marriage soon resulted in the birth of three children: twins Andrew Etienne and Angel Marie Snooper (May 2, 2014) and Susan Rose Snooper (September 4, 2016-November 2016).

However, the seemingly happy marriage began to disintegrate in the recent years following the infamous Thanksgiving day mass hacking. The child porn scandal tainted the team's reputation so much, that Jenny finally realized her husband turned out to not be the ideal "knight in shining armor" as she had envisioned him to be long ago. Intense arguments about the team's future grew worse over the first several months of 2016, leading to incidents of psychological, emotional, and (sometimes) physical abuse, but what really was the last straw for Jenny is her youngest daughter's unexpected death last month due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). This was the breaking point that led her to make the most important decision of her life: divorce.

Jenny filed for formal legal separation in the week following little Susan's funeral, then finalized the divorce, winning permanent custody of the twins. With the proceeds from the settlement (plus the spousal alimony she demanded), she was able to get a two-story four-bedroom two-bathroom mansion in the hills near Long Beach, CA. Then another tragedy struck--her father, Andrew Silverfur, was fatally shot while attempting to escape a kidnapping attempt by his former son-in-law. The incident drove both Jenny and her widowed mother to bouts of deep depression and, in her mother's case, alcoholism. Her mother eventually quit drinking, but the emotional damage continued to affect Jenny for the next few weeks.

After the divorce, she went through another short-lived relationship with video game superstar Miles Prowler (a.k.a @Realindytails24), who later broke up with her over the issue of trust and loyalty. Then, while still yet recovering from the emotional fallout over the breakup, she had a chance meeting with a burly 7'2 male crocodile named Clemence Crocodile (a.k.a @ClemenceCroc); like her, he had been divorced once, with two hatchlings from previous relationships. They have since then become a couple in a serious and secure relationship and are currently expecting a fifth child.

Nowadays Jenny has returned to her old job and continues to work part-time at her detective agency, often teaming up with the police on special cases. She also had made appearances on the internet reality show #EC, first as an assistant and then as a contestant on Team Wolfman after an embarrassing incident that cost her her previous job; while not very happy to have taken the place of her friend Rarity (a.k.a pennut48), she willingly accepted the new position without complaint. Prior to her being voted out, Jennifer has been an integral part of Team Wolfman and helped them score several victories, bonding well with her teammates as well as with those from the opposite team (though only half-heartedly); she will guest-star in the season finale.

Her main goal in life is to become a better mother, wife, stepmother, and best friend as the years go by; her tendency to be more open-minded than her ex-husband has enabled her to befriend people from all walks of life, including her new boyfriend's close friends (most of whom are gay and bisexual) and some of her own friends who are confirmed lesbians. With a possible second marriage in her future, she is glad to have escaped a nightmare that ALMOST prevented her from following her dreams.
