Best Steven Universe Song Tournament - Round 4

It's Over, Isn't It?

Sung by Pearl

True Kinda Love

Sung by Garnet and Steven Universe

Propaganda under the cut

It's Over, Isn't It? is in many ways the culmination of Pearl's character arc, or at least one of them. Her relationship with Rose has so much more to it than a lot of people give it credit for. Pearl is a fantastic character and this is just Pearl: The Song

i kinda love and hate something about the new expansion, and its anduins story

disclaimer that my knowledge of world of warcraft in general is very... tangled. like, if youve ever pulled out a bunch of necklaces and theyre tangled together and youre like 'what the fuck how do i even fix this'. thats my knowledge of world of warcraft. ive learned everything out of order and theres a lot i dont even know yet blah blah

but anyway

what i understand is that during shadowlands, anduin basically got ?posessed? and was forced to be fully aware as he watched his own body do horrible things that couldnt be undone, and that part of him enjoyed it.

and then it ended and he was so fucked up by that (rightfully) that he went and hid from the world for a while, isolating himself and only furthering these horrible feelings because he couldnt find a way to not feel horrible about what happened

and then hes found and told that hes needed again, but hes still beating himself up

and the worst part is, he cant find it in himself to reconnect with this thing thats important to him, the light, because he thinks hes unworthy. the light is seen as such a good thing in this world, and he thinks himself no longer good. (i could say how this feels weirdly christian but that is NOT the point here)

he goes on this journey anyway, how could he not? their world is in trouble.

and in this journey, they find a land hiding away thats pretty much made to help him LMAO. theres a few things, but mostly... theres the light. a gem rock star thingy of some kind as bright as the sun sticking out of the ceiling of an underground world, and it is the light. the light he feels he lost

and he meets someone whos so devoted to it, so hopeful despite everything thats happened to her, and she sees in him what he thinks he doesnt have for anyone to see

she lets him know that the light is still there, he still has it, he will be okay. he doesnt believe it, but he starts to

its through this journey that he learns that what happened doesnt define who he is, not forever, not even now, and he finds the light again

especially in such a pivotal moment where he does something thats the opposite of what he was forced to do before

where he was forced to hurt and kill people

he finds his ability to heal again, and revives someone

and i guess i said i love it and hate it because like... i hate that this isnt in a form i can easily re-consume like a book or a show or a movie, or even a linear video game. and once i go through it on a character, i cant do it again unless its on another character, and i only have so many high level characters. i could probably just watch videos or something about it but idk it just doesnt work the same

i also hate that i know im not gonna find many people talking about it, at least, not even in the way i want

but what i love is that this type of story was done at all. i feel like its underdone, where a character, especially a character whos 'the good one', does something(s) thats horrible, maybe even 'unforgivable' depending who you ask, and they have to deal with realizing that it doesnt define them, and they can still be good, still be worth loving and having a good life. learning to forgive themself.

i feel like its a story that a lot of people need to hear, even if they dont even realize it. i know ive done things in the past i still feel like i will never make up for, and i still dont know how to feel about it all.

i think its actually wild that something like world of warcraft did it at all, and honestly, i think they did it well. i guess i cant speak much on the shadowlands part of it because i have yet to see all of that, only really the cutscenes and cinematics, but ive seen the war within part of it.

and idk i feel like i have so much to say but i cant think of more, but i really enjoyed it.

I just remembered that Chance the Rapper worked on Steven Universe and I am once again wondering wtf this show’s budget was

[hi-im-ray]

I made a chill mashup with True Kinda Love and Stronger Than You

[astervoidtheartist]

"Hey you, show me a solvable problem"

redrew that scene from the steven univsere movie where Garnet comes back in my style :) haven't been able to get True Kinda Love out of my head recently 🎶🎶

[angel-dust15678]

other friends but stickman trailer official

By the way this is real it's actually coming tomorrow trust me

[annaberunoyume]

I can totally see MK sing this to Red Son.

[graveyardbong]

I want a Steven universe tattoo for many reasons but the thing holding me back is that I don't know which character is my fav

Like, do I get one of the fusions? If so then which? Because let's be real my faves are obsidian, sardonyx and obv garnet

But also I relate so much to amethyst and I love her and pearl and Steven is so important to me because as someone who has been the self proclaimed optimist their whole life he makes me so happy knowing that he's teaching people how to be strong and I just UGH

Do I get a bigger piece with all the main gems? What about my fav side characters tho? What about peridot? Jasper? Especially corrupted jasper, but I don't wanna steal @dabwax's thing

This is gonna result in me getting an entire back piece with every character isn't it

"The truth"

"I have known hardship and confusion, but love can live through it all. If they face the truth... together".

Modeus💀: Oh, when a difficult day goes by, Keeping it together is hard but that's why. You've got to try, You've got to try.

And when there's a thundering storm outside, Underneath the covers you huddle and hide. Open your eyes, Open your eyes.

It's the true, it's the true, It's the true kinda love. It's the true, it's the true, It's the true kinda love.

Stuck in the middle of fear and shame, Everybody's looking for someone to blame. Like it's a game, Like it's a game.

And now I am better than win-or-lose, There's a new direction that I like to choose. It's called the truth, It's called the truth.

Lucia🦋: Hey, you, show me that solvable problem, We can get through this. I'll do the hardest part with you.

Modeus💀: It's the true, it's the true, It's the true kinda love. It's the true, it's the true, It's the true kinda love. It's the true, it's the true, It's the true kinda love. It's the true, it's the true, It's the true kinda love.

I wanted to share the official playlist I made for this fic! I always make playlists for stories of mine, but I honestly really like this one and wanted to share it.

tracklist under the cut! the songs don’t map directly onto the plot or anything, they’re just vibe-based. there’s a lot of cheesy pop and angsty stuff right next to each other, because i feel like that’s gonna be the tone of the fic in general.

Best Steven Universe Song Tournament - Round 1

True Kinda Love

Sung by Garnet feat Steven Universe

Still Not Giving Up

Sung by Steven Universe

[goodolddumbbanana]

Let's think about something that can keep ya up at night, shall we?

So I know it will never be true but what if Nexus gets revived back, but without any memory. Like fresh out of New Moon, dude just got reset back to his original settings.

So, this new Nexus is kinda, naive, and just like how New Moon used to be before so much craps happens making him burn like a toast.

He has nowhere to go, so it kinda understandable if Sun, Earth and Solar wants to keep him because Sun is still feeling guilty about killing his ex brother and Earth is Earth. Poor girl just wants his old brother back. And Solar because of .. well, it was his best friend and also he needs to keep an eye in case something went wrong with that new Nexus, let's call him Nex.

So the thing is, they try to be better but... Like... They love Nex because he used to be New Moon, he used to be their brother.

They still love Nexus because of an old corpse live inside Nex's body, the one who got cooked so badly that the superhell refuses to take him.

And sure, this time they may not get tiptoe around him, but they still treat him like someone that is not him.

And isn't it tragic?

Nex's fate will forever be the second choice, the reflection of someone else, the amend.

I think Nexus is like Steven Universe, but it got worse.

Your post about ML trying to be a formula show and a serialized show at the same time reminded me of how one of my favorite shows ever, Moral Orel, actually managed to make the switch from one to the other, and I really kinda wish we could have seen ML do what Moral Orel was doing before it got prematurely cancelled two season early

Like, the first season of MO was a cut and dry formula show, but towards the end of S1 we're shown the cracks in the world, until the finale finally outright breaks the formula in the last third

Then S2 seems to try to get back into the formula, but it never quite gets back to normal, with more and more of the underlying serialized drama that the creators crafted around the formula bleeding into it, until with the finale (one of the most gut wrenching finales in tv history btw) the formula is pretty much forgotten outside of some flashbacks in the next season

S3 is just a fully serialized drama, and if it hadn't been cancelled prematurely the creators and staff had two more season planned where the focus would shift fully from one character/family being the main focus to the whole town being the sort of 'main character'

Like, during the year long hiatus after S1 that's kinda how I was envisioning ML to go after ending on Volpina and Origins

S1 gave us the fun formula and the basic set-up of the world (our leads and villain and their powers, the Love Square, the supporting characters, etc) before ending on hints of a deeper story hidden behind the formula show we've been presented, but we all know how that went in ML

This is honestly where I thought Miraculous was going at the tail end of season one/start of season two. It's incredibly common for kids' shows to start off without a strong plot for their first season or even just first half-season in order to play things safe (examples: Steven Universe and The Owl House). They don't want to commit to anything major until the show proves that it's going to do numbers, so the most you get are subtle hints of a larger plot. Then, once they feel like they have an audience, they can get more serious and do some actual plots because they know that they're probably going to be able to have multiple seasons.

Origins felt like the start of that transition from playing it safe to actually telling a story that required an active audience who would do their best to never miss an episode. Add in Volpina giving us a cliffhanger and, okay, time to go! But no. Instead we get the worst of both worlds where there's too many big serialized elements for the formula stuff to feel fun and too much adherence to the formula to let the big serialized elements function. Terrible choice. Zero starts. If the powers that be won't let you do a true serial show, then keep the serial content to stuff that works in the background. Don't pick big, dramatic stuff that needs room to breathe!

I know y'all dying over ch 120, I'm dying too, because what the heck AidaIro... Anyways, I had this thought while listening to "Love like you" from Steven Universe. Isn't it... Hananene coded?? Kinda?? I immediately thought back to the severance but I guess this arc will fit as well... [Dbs scans were used]

***

When I see the way you act

Wondering when I'm coming back

I could do about anything

I could even learn how to love like you

I always thought I might be bad

Now I'm sure that it's true

'Cause I think you're so good

And I'm nothing like you
