I'm not the first to mention this, but one bit that I thought was really clever in Steven Universe is the ways in which the show subtly justifies the cartoonism of the principle cast always wearing the same outfit for ease-of-animation purposes. The gems are a gimme in that they're all hardlight-projections, and even before that's solidified as a plot point they're otherworldly and superheroic enough that you don't really think to question it. But Steven canonically just owns hundreds and hundreds of those star shirts, which are leftover merchandise from his father's fizzled-out career as a rock star. Into which you can read a whole bunch of other stuff if you really want to, right? And I do want to. It's reflective of Greg's misplaced optimism that he got hundreds of those made in the first place, and it's a benign but visible example of how Steven's life is shaped by the knock-on effects of decisions his parents made before he was even alive. He's got his mother's superpowers and he's wearing his father's shirts.

psa that the day there are no jgy stans left on tumblr dot com is the day i am dead

but rest assured i'll go to my grave exactly as i lived: obnoxiously proclaiming to everyone within earshot how great lianfang-zun is. narratively, metaphorically, spiritually. sexually, too, like why limit myself. i like to keep my options open

the SU theory posts i’ve made that have “aged the worst” are definitely the ones where i confidently assert that steven has the individual choice to forgive people you wouldn’t forgive, so don’t shame him for that, and that he would never shatter someone. because steven doesn’t want to just “kill the bad guys” as a solution.

thing is though, i’m not wrong in spirit. because what i really mean is that the show doesn’t think it’s bad to forgive. the show doesn’t think it’s good to shatter.

what makes those posts age poorly is that i did something i’ve since come to complain about - people conflating steven’s morality with the show’s morality. these are separate things.

in my defense, i think these two things were more aligned in the OG show. SU future still retains the original show’s morality, for the most part. the main thing it does differently is to just lampshade that steven himself is a flawed character. he isn’t always going to perfectly live up to the show’s ideals.

which is a good thing btw! i think a show about flawed people learning to be better is incomplete without allowing its main character to be similarly flawed. he shouldn’t always be stuck helping others + asserting his identity more based on who he’s not (his mom) rather than who he is.

so yeah. i’m not sorry about those posts - i think a lot of my old theoryposting still holds up when you see them from the pov of the show’s overall morality rather than being about steven’s feelings. but i definitely misjudged steven as living up to those moral ideals more than he did.

still, that’s something i’m happy to be wrong about. i like that steven is as flawed as everyone else.

I uphold that Su Yin, with his powerful gege energy, could top Huaien quite easily if the situation needing it arose.

Also, Su Yin would let Xiaobao top him, walking the boy through the process and feeling pleasure at the thought of taking care of his silly shidi;)

“你既入了我的门下，那就不论身，不论出处，都是我的徒弟。是我第一个弟子，也是唯一的弟子。无论发生任何事，都有为师替你担着。”

Since I have accepted you as my disciple, then regardless of your identity or your background, you will still be my disciple. You're my first disciple, and my only disciple. No matter what happens, I'll take care of everything.

The way Liu Yue knew but didn't care about Yue Yao's background and was ready to help her because she was his first and only disciple aaaaaa excuse me for a moment-

also a lil unrelated but I really liked his voice so i did some digging (i.e. played the end credits at 0.5x speed to see who's the va) and found out that its Su Shangqing who apparently voiced:

Qiao Yifan in The King's Avatar (donghua)

Jin Ling in Mo dao zu shi (donghua)

Cao Weining in Word of Honor

Cheng Xiaoshi in Link Click (donghua)

Baili Dongjun in Dashing Youth (donghua)

oh god I’m having vampire / monster hunter au thoughts again.

the landau having done “dangerous” experimentations with utilising diluted / mixed blood of the monsters they hunt as strength enhancements. very measured doses but also does come with a number of negative side effects. this is one of the reasons his father is eager to have him bring serval back because both of them are essential subjects to this trial and error process.

Missin’ my favorite squad

[quietplace26]

Rang: "So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know."

Seung-tak: "...I did it. I broke it."

Rang: "No. No you didn't. Yeon?"

Yeon: "Don't look at me. Look at Young-min."

Young-min: "What? I didn't break it!"

Yeon: "Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?"

Young-min: "Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken!"

Yeon: "Suspicious."

Ro-joon: "If it matters, probably not, but Su-yeol was the last one to use it."

Su-yeol: "Liar! I don't even drink that crap!"

Ro-joon: "Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart eariler?"

Su-yeol: "I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that Ro-joon!"

Seung-tak: "Okay, let's not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it."

Rang: "No! Who broke it?"

Moon-jo: "...Grim Reaper and Goblin's been awfully quiet."

Grim Reaper and Goblin: "REALLY?!"

Everyone starts arguing.

Rang: "I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at eachother's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It's been getting a little chummy around here."
