At least if I were in pieces, I wouldn’t have to know how little I mattered to you

reblog if you agree

I like this one

I just. MT making her new name “Lake” has me crying like,, she was literally a reflection before escaping, then she hid from reflective surfaces, like lakes, for fear of being caught and reduced back to the mold she originally fit in. the reflections were basically her prison, the designated role in society. then upon escaping the train she’s finally no longer afraid of the reflection. It is who she once was, but she broke free from that identity. so in return she decides to name herself lake for no longer being afraid of the confines and finally feeling free and I just. I’m feeling things man.

"I'm off the train."

"Yeah, you are."

No, no, no…It should be working! Why isn’t it working?!

Still digging the corrupted Steven theory. Someone in a discord I’m in gave this idea of Steven, desperately trying to heal his corruption by bathing in the diamond bath water essences, but due to his powers going out of control, he wouldn’t be able to heal. I loved it so much, I had to draw it out!

Don’t repost, thanks!

Didn’t know if I had it in me to make any jokes after today’s episodes

Is there something you want to talk about?

Ik this blog is supposed to be just about Eyeaqua, but.. Can we pls take a second to look at Army n Navy? 😔❤❤

When you’re genuinely happy for Sadie and would actively die for Shep, but deep down you are still larsadie trash:

corrupted steven theory- who’s going to be able to talk steven down?

yo, okay, so, after Prickly Pair, im 99% sure that not only is corrupted steven going to happen, the gems aren’t going to be able to talk him down. they’ll try, but much like they did in this episode, they’ll get (emotionally) pricked and slammed into a wall.

it’s going to be the humans, specifically, connie and greg.

steven seems to be putting a lot of pressure on himself specifically when it comes to the gems; his expectation of himself to be ‘needed’ and to help everyone really seems to come from his time with them; which, while obviously not intentional on the gems part, has undeniably at this point messed steven up.

there’s also the matter of his strong emotions are sending him spiralling into his gem powers- out of touch with his human half.

so, when inevitably, steven says ‘oh wyrm’ and becomes corrupted, i think the people who will need to convince him to let everyone else in will be connie and greg.

why connie?

in the main series, connie really has been a grounding force in steven’s life. from teaching him more about his gem powers through fusion, standing beside him in battle, and by being with him during his Not Fun Time in homeworld, she’s always helped to carry him through the rough times. sometimes literally!

AND THEN THERE’S MINDFUL EDUCATION.

”But it’s okay to think about it!” “You have to be honest about how bad it feels so you can move on!”

these two lines alone from that scene really are what steven needs to hear right now. he needs to be reminded of what he’s learned, how far he’s come, and how letting his emotions out healthily is okay.

why greg?

he’s the only parental figure who HASN’T done the above-mentioned ‘problem shoving’. he’s always been there for steven, and has only told stories of his past to steven when steven explicitly asked for them. 

what really solidified it for me was Bluebird, when instead of forcing steven to save him, greg dealt with the problem himself:

in doing so, he took responsibility for his OWN distress, and didn’t force steven to step in for him. he made his own sacrifice. this is really important, as the problem in Prickly Pear really seemed to come down to role models, with how steven ended up being a bad one to his creation, and greg is an absolutely stellar example of one in steven’s life.

greg universe has always done the best he can as steven’s father, often being the person steven turns to whenever the gems are having issues. it would make sense both in terms of character, and thematically, for him to be one of the catalysts for finally cracking steven’s tough outer shell.

in conclusion:

“Why do I need to be needed?!” 

Because that’s how his relationship with the gems worked. They needed him to be the healer, the shield, the diplomat, the therapist, and over time I think he just internalized that without noticing.

Oh wow

I think I love her

TOP TEN PHOTOS TAKEN BEFORE DISASTER

Yo, I know it’s mostly (actually there’s very little) fanon speculation as of right now, but I’m personally hoping that Aquamarine and Eyeball are in a romantic relationship. After all, two villains can have a perfectly healthy dynamic while having it out for the main protagonist! 

And let’s look at a few things; Eyeball clearly seems to exhibit some degree of loneliness: 

Like, she wants a gf! 

Next case in point is Aquamarine’s line from Stuck Together: 

“That’s the problem with you fusions, sooner or later you all become… sentimental.” 

So wouldn’t it be ironic if she became “sentimental” about a fusion of her own?? 

Just saying that these two could be fairly cute and interesting together! Unless it turns out that Aquamarine is manipulating Eyeball or some shit

Thank you for your time, that’ll be all 

How it all Started…

How sad all of this is

I just realized we didn't get to see bismuth's reaction to the rose quartzes and I feel robbed

She’d be as shook as the rest of us tbh [x]

Everyone else: Ok I think that's enough trauma for Steven
