Just a reminder to all that the only boy in the town is a transgender Latino boy, and barely a single fuck was given.

Yep, that’s it. That is all.

Copying artstyle off of older Steven and Connie concept art for the heck of it. (And chibis. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠▾⁠｀⁠)⁠┌)

The proportions felt awkward to draw, I did end up stretching them a bit. Haha

#Their eyes are so close together. The neck (specially Connie's) so slim and their legs are short #Actually looks nice to be honest haha #I can't study and draw the style much though. That's absolutely going to disorient me when I get back to my own drawing style #them little guys are yippie-ing #connverse #Steven Universe #Connie Maheswaran #Steven Quartz Universe #SU #skedoobles #Actually I was distracting myself because this was such a big bummer of a day!#Like so gloomy literally. Like that Adventure time episode with the party bears being bummed out by a song #Energy sucked out by the bummness #I also overslept so I feel nauseous trying to lie down to sleep #PLUS I was adjusting a drawing and rendering the whole day but I had to scrap it all because the image looked better before I made all that #so it was super extra bummy if that's a word #I need to draw some connverse at least #I really like Connie's outfit in it. Plus with the sun hat? Simple yet extra fun design. I wished they kept it through the final.#*I mean Connie's legs are def longggg. Steven has short legs. Even shorter than how I draw em. It's their heads that are much larger.#SUF #Steven Universe Future #SU Future

y'know what. fuck it. i was gonna hold this off until i was calm about this but i'm heated. i'm so goddamn annoyed

i really don't get why most of the peeps in this fandom isn't talking about how the sketches were FUCKING LEAKED and instead talking about "oh. pearl bi. oh. amethyst freaky" like, guys no. this shit was leaked. and i'm assuming without rebecca's permission

and it makes the backlash against the gregpearl sketches even worse since rebecca NEVER EVEN POSTED THEM. some ASSHOLES decided to leak their sketches and no one's saying ANYTHING about it

i know this is a hellsite but at the very LEAST can someone call this out????? i feel like all people care about is their rarepairs being noticed. really shows how some of y'all feel about artists

if you genuinely didn't know that these were leaked, i'm sorry for being aggressive. i'm just......why isn't anyone calling out the fact this didn't come from sugar themselves???? why are we allowing this fellas????

i.....i hate this. i hate everything about this. what the fuck y'all?

#steven universe #rebecca sugar #rant #i'm so heated over this #i know i'm overreacting #but come on y'all #we can do better than this

When you absolutely despise something a lot of people like, and no matter what way you look at it you cannot see the appeal, but you know you can’t talk about it in public or else you’ll get dogpiled to hell and back, so you just kinda sit there frothing at the mouth like this

#spaghetti speaks #minor blood #I know this image is typically used in positive contexts but it felt fitting here too #Also you probably know what I’m talking about if you��ve spoken to me before #The AM speech but aimed toward this one particular series because the rage it causes is GRAHH #it had so much potential #it could’ve been so so good #YOU COULD'VE KEPT THE PILOT PLOT INSTEAD OF INSTANTLY ABANDONING IT IN FAVOR FOR ONE OF THE WORST ROUTES A STORY CAN GO IN #I’m so mad because I WISH I could like it #I WISH I could make art for it- the character designs are fun to draw #but I’m not a fan of it #I have a visceral hatred of the series and its creator #but I’m alone in the opinion #minus my friends who agree with me #but I just #I don’t understand #I feel like if it was made by a bigger studio- people would hate it as much as me #Steven Universe was written significantly better than it- I’m sorry #SU got so much shit for years- this is praised everywhere I see #I could explain every single problem I have with this series and people will defend it #it’s so popular despite nothing being resolved or making sense #The people behind the studio were revealed to be shitty to employees but no one cares because this series got a new episode #GRRRRRGHGGHH #I hate the characters- I hate the nonsensical plot- I hate the plot holes- I hate the villain- I hate the wasted potential #I’d hijack this series and make a Snoot Game type thing if I could- my autistic ass will make this better #I'm not arrogant I’m just saying the writing is on the floor and it doesn’t take much to just fix it up and make it pretty #I’m ranting #sorry #I’m very passionate about things like this #Inorganic killers

i feel like i'm in at a lonely table for one here... but i don't want any SU continuity to be a prequel. and i think some people who want a prequel, haven't really thought through what that would look like.

either a war prequel or a rose quartz prequel would end up as a huge downer. the steven/post-steven era is the only one that has any HOPE for the vast majority of the characters.

idk. i feel like if you really want flashbacks, there's nothing STOPPING a post-SU future series (whether an anthology series or a new main character) from having flashbacks. maybe pearl's the main character for an episode, and its mostly her telling old war stories. maybe bismuth and garnet finally have that beta raid flashback.

but if you set it in the past, definitively, then its going to be a bummer. because all the characters end up corrupted, shattered, deeply traumatized, or fleeing to homeworld. nobody feels like a winner right after the war. not a single character.

most gems are only beginning to heal from it now.

SU, thematically, has always focused on the possibility of hope and change. that's only possible in the future, not the past.

you want lore? you can have that in an anthology or post-future series. there is nothing stopping peridot or the diamonds from having a "explaining gem origins and religion" ep. you want action sequences? again, pearl can narrative war flashbacks, or we can even set an anthology episode in the past proper. or have a new conflict!

personally, i don't see a reason to set it only in the past. that's just an unnecessary limit on the stories you're able to tell.

#steven universe #su sequel #su prequel #i realize i'm writing a quite depressing fanfic (at the moment) while complaining about downers #but the difference between Something Better and what i would Actually want an SU sequel to look like #is that Something Better is focused on a very depressed character with a lot of issues and not a lot of friends #but it can still get better for her... eventually!#whereas in a Real SU Sequel you would probably want... a bit more balance? more levity and a few more joyful or lighthearted storylines?#because its a fundamentally hopeful show. made for a mass audience rather than me self-indulgently psychoanalyzing one character #but i STILL think Something Better will end up more hopeful than a prequel show would be... because nobody would end up happy in a prequel!#not one person!!!

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

You know what, no! I don’t want Terry jr and Terry to bond actually. I want Terry to try to hug Terry Jr and for Terry Jr. to be like “this is not my daughter what happened give her back. This is NOT my Scary.” I want him to love the version of Scary she chooses to be, not the one that gives him the most affection.

#no bc if he reacts too positively to Terry I fear it’s gonna have the Spinel effect from Steven Universe #where scary feels like he cares more about the ‘insane’ version of her than who she really is #and it would make me sad #ALSO A SCENE WHERE SCARY TURNS BACK INTO HERSELF AND TERRY JR IS LIKE ‘oh thank god’ AND SCARY IS LIKE ‘??? YOU LIKE THIS VERSION BETTER???’#WOUKD BE TOP TIER WHOLESOME PLS #dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndaddies #dndads s2 #dndads season 2 #dndads quest #terry jr #terry stampler #scary marlowe #terry marlowe #dndads spoilers
