i just know game night at the noble-temple-doctor’s is intense. there’s still feuds over uno matches played weeks ago. sylvia is one draw four away from slapping 14 again, donna is staring daggers at wilf who just skipped her for the 3rd time in a row, rose looks like she’s losing but her hand is full of +2’s and she’s about to rain hellfire upon shaun who is simply happy his family is having game night

Starkid is one of the absolute best arguments for supprting independent art. The fact that the shows you're invested in can't get canceled by Big Daddy Streaming, the quality is always amazing, the love of the cast and crew doesn't get squeezed out by surprise budget reductions, the fact that since crowd funding provides almost all costs up front (plus the presence of voluntary digital ticket/in person tickets for additional funding), the fan base can access the full material for whatever cost they can contribute (even if you can give nothing monetarily, you will still get a professionally shot version of the material eventually, without surprise fees or password crackdowns, AND with captions/completely accesible regardless of location). The same goes for Tin Can Bros, Shipwrecked, and all the other associated theater and web series companies loosely connected to Starkid. Like, I cannot believe the amazing content provided to us at the same level as Broadway or streaming services with billion dollars at hand, with almost none of the catches that come with others. Like, I cannot believe that we get all of this right at our hands.

One thing I don't often see people talk about in Steven Universe.
In the series most of Stevens powers come from a need to protect those around him. His shield, his bubble, healing spit/tears, all designed, and come from the desire to, protect those around him. With the exception of his floating which comes from a sense of joy and happiness.
In Future his new powers stem from a subconscious need to protect himself, instead of a need to protect others. He's dealing with a lot and his powers are reacting in an explosive way to keep him safe. Super speed to escape a dangerous situation, explosive screams to throw the threat away from him, and panels, thicker and stronger than his shield and bubble, to shield him from the perceived threat.
Which then makes me wonder, since Pink on Homeworld was known for destructive "temper tantrums" how often she must've felt so unsafe, scared and unhappy that her powers reacted the way Stevens do in Future.
When she became Rose Quartz she felt confident, comfortable and more safe as Rose than as Pink. She had a strong desire to protect the Earth and the Crystal Gems, developing her powers into the ones we see most in the show.

can we please talk about rose’s reaction when the doctor gave her a tardis key. the little smile and when mickey tries to use it against her her reaction is so strong.
none of her boyfriends ever really made a commitment to her; mickey is implied to be cheating on her emotionally ("don't read my emails", in rose) and is overall dismissive of her (going to the pub in rose, and overall dismissive when she talks about her travels with the doctor). and then there's jimmy stone who is heavily implied to have abused her, and canonically is the reason she was in debt.
she was so afraid she was going to be left behind again and he gives her a key. and that just changes everything and she sees how much she means to him.
the doctor is the first person in a while that not only proves to rose that he wants her around but he makes her feel worthy of it as well.
