i feel so silly because i just realized the steven-lapis “what if something bad happens”/“what if something good happens” exchange in can’t go back is a callback to “that’s why we can’t fight them”/“that’s why we have to fight them” in jailbreak

#steven universe #i’ve seen someone dislike the jailbreak line bc they felt it was talking down to the audience #(they only watched a handful of s1 eps so they couldn’t even get the tone of the series in the first place)#but man i love the trope of a child’s optimism really winning out over pessimism #because yeah it is really simple and it can feel infantilizing #but it’s true #beach summer fun buddies you will always be my fave 😭😭#also i another stupid thing is that i didn’t realize the covering of ‘ss misery�� with ‘lil lappy’ in alone at sea #was a metaphor for ineffectively burying lapis’ problems with fun #until i saw someone explicitly point it out #that one is just blatant the show does that all the time
