Steven Universe Future - Blog Posts

I really hope to see a “Malachite 2.0″ of sorts between Jasper and the two Lapis twins

(She will almost definitely not have a Kanabō/Club, but I wanted to draw her with one so, who cares)

How dare you make me choose

Let's do this again. Hopefully I didn't forget anyone.

!!! SPOILERS FOR THE NEWEST EPISODES OF STEVEN UNIVERSE FUTURE !!!

THIS IS A WARNING!!

So... the new Steven Universe Future episodes, ey??

HOLY DIAMOND AUTHORITY!!!

Okay so first of all for some context: Me and my sister who are both fans of Steven Universe just watched the newest episodes of Steven Universe Future. And we. Lost. Our. Shits!

I will describe the episodes so again, SPOILERS AHEAD!!! LAST WARNING!!

Mr. Universe: A nice episode where we learn more about Greg's past before he became Mr. Universe. I did not think he got that name from a song, but I like that! Strict family and rules... damn, never saw that coming. And Steven and his pink outbursts again... dang. I hope he sees a therapist... really, I hope he does...

Fragments: This is.... asdfghjfjfid... I can't even! He doesn't want to tell the gems, so what does he do instead... seek out Jasper!... I immediately thought it was a bad idea... But anyway, Steven trained with her, magically grew taller(?), and showed how strong he really is. And when he laughed... it did not feel like our usually happy Steven... reminded me of an evil laugh coming from a villain... He came back to the house in a hurry, didn't pay any mind to the gems and went right to the bathroom. I first thought he was going to pull out Jasper's gem and that he only poofed her... boy was I wrong. He had in fact SHATTERED her! Steven Universe SHATTERED a gem! He who never felt comfortable with the idea of shattering in the first place! Both me and my sister's eyes widened at the sight. Jasper came back though (in a new style) and... bowed to him... cuz of his strength and called him "my diamond".... ho-ly shit.

The 4 finale episodes comes next Friday... I am not ready for this show to end... but one thing that will make me happy is showing Spinel and the Diamonds at least one more time! Clearly one of the best cartoons of the decade... in my humble opinion of course...

I don't have anything else to say, I am flabbergasted! Well, not anything else except GET STEVEN TO THERAPY ALREADY!!!

Ok bye!

Random Thoughts about Steven Universe!

So I had a random thought I wanted to get out. Also, I'm thinking about maybe doing this "random thought" thing to a trend for myself here on Tumblr... Anyway!

I was just scrolling through something Steven Universe related on Instagram when I realised that fan art of corrupted Steven has become popular... I myself LOVE the idea of Steven getting corrupted in a future episode! And I have also noticed a trend in these fan arts. That trend is drawing Steven crying or scared of what's happening (the transformation/corruption). Now this made me realise: Has the Steven Universe turned angsty? Not in the bad way, but rather good way.

I've also seen that Steven with pink eyes and Steven with a more emo/don't care-ish type of attitude is becoming popular when drawing fan art... I love this fandom a lot!😌 I'll maybe draw some fanart myself... Not sure if I wanna publish it. But the point of this post was the corruption fan art that is everywhere. Keep on drawing angst my friends!!

Gotta love angsty Steven! He's so much more of a teenager now!😏 Also, I've seen the 2 newest episodes and I love that Pearl got confident in shapeshifting again and I LOVE Freckles (AKA nice new freckles Lapis)!

Thank you for your time!

Im very busy with school atm so here’s a little sapphire doodle I made!

Per @jetcat-14 ‘s request: some shoes!

I present to you: Connie and her helium balloon boyfriend:

Bonus:

Edit: my little brother did a handstand and I realised I gave Steven two left feet.. so I fixed that…

Got bored and tried my hand at the SU style

Hot Take 2: Electirc Boogaloo

The chest in lion's mane contains pink diamond's essence. It's probably how they'll cure Steven's corruption if it does happen!

I doubt they would just leave that plot hole.

Episode 15 & 16 Analysis Bits

This is a analysis post of all the little things that I, and probably some of you guys noticed in the latest 2 episodes.

The Diamond Essence

So Steven used all the diamond essence. Everyone knows that. But the contrast between how the essence blends in episode 1 and 15 is pretty interesting.

In episode 1 of SUF, the blend of essence looks very smooth, bright, and wavy. It sparkles in a very nice and harmonious way.

However, in the latest episode, the blend looks far more... fragmented. Unstable. Dark.

This is probably a representation of his mental state being far more jarred, unstable, and just unhealthy. Rather than spreading evenly and properly, his essence just spreads, like a stain. Or a corruption scar....

Steven's forms

Steven has changed shape, size and even color this season. There are some things to take note of:

Steven's form changes either uniformly or chaotically. This probably indicates weather the change is a reaction or an internal change. That's why Steven grew so chaotically and unsustainably in Growing Pains, but grew in a “healthier” way during Fragments. Not that the way he grew was healthy at all.

We know from the series that gems, including Steven, change form depending on their mental state. Steven changed into chad Steven because he felt stronger. Steven might change into the wyrm because he feels out of control, like a corrupted gem.

Pink Diamond Resembelence

Steven underwent a number of physical changes during Fragments, but one of the most significant ones was his increasing resemblance to his mother.

He's taller, about quartz height. His hair is poofier, like Pink's hair, and it even has the same tufts as hers. And the eyes? People have been pointing out that they have white pupils like White's , rather than Blue and Yellow's black pupils. And that must be deliberate.

White said she wanted to fix things. When she couldn’t, she moved ahead. Steven wants to fix things, but he can't live without a purpose. His family saw him as a burden when he couldn’t do anything. That has fed into his current state, if not created it.

Betraying Every Single Crystal Gem Value

This is probably one of the things that hit me the hardest in this episode. He managed to:

Destroy organic life

SHATTER A GEM

Enjoy violence and causing pain

Within 3 days. All things that his mother fought so hard to prevent from occurring. Perhaps this is why he has decided to do it. His mother didn’t want it, so in an attempt to prove that he's his own person, he does all of the things that would cause disapproval from anyone but Jasper.

It's convoluted and awful, but in a way it makes sense. If he does what his family wants, they will always want more. They'll never want more of this.

Greg

When Steven said “You’re just like mum”, I was astounded by how offensively Greg took it. Astounded for a good reason. He realises that Rose wasn't an entirely altruistic person.

I think this actually shows an incredible amount of strength in Greg. I feel like Steven overreacted in the situation, but Greg has grown nonetheless.

He did get carried away though. He whisked Steven through his youth, without any regard for his feelings. Instead of sitting and talking, he tried to distract Steven. And that CD... context, Greg. Context.

Also, they way that he implies that Steven was “free” shows how little he helped bring up Steven after he moved in with the gems.

Anyway, that was a lot to unpack. I hope you enjoyed reading it! If you have any thoughts, let me know.

Steven Falls Over

Hmm... this could be foreshadowing....

Or maybe Pearl pushed Steven onto the rink...

I dunno, just saying. Those are some skinny hands...

Glitchy Steven in honor of the last Stevenbomb. I'm probably gonna aim to draw one scene for each of the final bombs.

Steven Universe Color Correction!

I was doing some screenshot edits when I had a brainfart and decided to find out the colors of the zircons and the wormy boi.

Basic Tutorial

There are a number of different types of blending modes for layers, as many of you undoubtedly know. Most screenshots from SU that are worth editing seem to have a darker shade, similar to a multiply layer.

Anyone who passed 5th grade math knows that the opposite of multiply is divide, which also happens to be a blending mode.

So, the method I used to correct my colors goes as follows:

Load your screenshot into your art program

Add a new layer and set the blending mode to divide. Hide this layer for now.

Find something on the screenshot that would be white under normal lighting. Eyes, teeth and the like.

Use the eydropper tool to copy the color on one of these areas.

Make the divide layer visible, and use the bucket/fill tool to fill the layer with the color you copied.

Tada! You should now have an edited screenshot with accurate colors.

Actual Theories

Remember when the biggest controversy in the fandom was if the prosecuting Zircon was yellow or green? Simpler times. Anywho: I used the same method, and...

Why yellow there.

I cross checked this with other people's edits, and it seemed pretty consistent. She yello!

I decided to do the defending Zircon just for fun:

So, next bit: Wormy Boi.

@novantinuum made an interesting post about the similarities in scenery and lighting between the Wormy Boi's title sequence appearance and a number of scenes in the most recent trailer. I sampled the color from the trailer, put it on the title sequence, and well... the results speak for themselves.

This is how a trailer scene looked before it was fixed:

This is how a trailer scene looks when fixed:

And the Worm?

Yup.

Please tell me if there is any way to improve my method!

Also, I’m working on the high school AU thing.

Hot Take

Steven is in hospital for emergency psychiatric treatment. If his mental state is really as bad as it seems, it's probably deteriorating at a pace where it is unlikely to be controlled without drastic intervention. He's having flashbacks, for God’s sake.

There are a number of reasons why a person can be hospitalised in this situation:

They require medication for their mental state, and need to be kept under observation to make sure there are no adverse effects

They are so unwell that they are unable to control their responses, and may be a danger to themselves or others

They may be suicidal or show suicidal tendencies

I feel like Rebecca wouldn’t go quite that far, but given that the latest leak that more or less involved Steven saying that he didn’t want to live anymore, I wouldn’t put it past her.

I was once hospitalised due to a mental health breakdown. I hated it, and I have trauma from the expirience. I only hope that Steven manages to avoid the worst of it.

Also... Why is he in a boat? It it the H.M.S Residual Trauma?

- Pasta

Ps. Sorry for not posting much, school went back and proceeded to kick me in the ass.

Steven Universe Future leak 2.0

Steven... you got some trauma right there... you want some help with that???

Poor babey. This show is supposed to be on hiatus, but keeps punching the fandom in the guts anyway.

Also, the image leak... are they flying?

Edit: Oh wait, they’re running.

- Pasta

Question for y’all

How would you feel about a Steven Universe high school au? It would be based off those promo drawings of the gems, but set in America rather than Japan. Let me know what you think.

Here are some of the drawings btw:

I got them off the wikia, in case you were wondering

- Pasta

So... That leak, huh?

I lowkey didn’t believe the corrupted Steven theory at first but now I’m legit terrified?! Our babey is not okay?! Also the gems are handling it really badly, like absolutely abysmally?! IS GREG OKAY?!!

Okay just needed to get that out of my system, thanks for listening.

(Two posts in a day? New record!)

- Pasta

I think I’ve said enough...

An edgy Steven.

Seriously, those episodes made everyone worried. Get help, Steven.

Also, I’ll be posting links to some fanfics of mine soon, so stay tuned!

- Pasta

Need to be Needed

This freaking episode hit me right in the guts...

Ouch...

- Pasta

Did anyone see the way Lapis reacted to those chains?

How when they came towards her, she just... froze? The almost adrenaline-fueled reaction? The metaphor of “opening the floodgates”? The projection of her trauma onto the situation (who’s pitiful now)?

Maybe she hasn’t healed as well as she thinks...

Everybody on this show needs therapy, y’all.
