#when we do go get it done tho i am definitely also getting the helix piercing i've wanted for literal decades

[naomiknight-17]

I recently found out that my sister in law gave us TATTOO SHOP GIFT CARDS this past Christmas!

Jon said she gave us 'some coupons' or something but I only had a proper look at them the other day because. Well. Because Jillybean was trying to eat them.

They're gift certificates. 3 of them. Each good for one tattoo or one tattooing session.

I can finally get one of the tattoos I want

But I don't know WHICH ONE

How can I CHOOSE

Rose is Liveblog 2020: I Am My Monster (Steven Universe Future Finale)

Rose is Liveblog 2020 Masterlist

I can’t believe Steven Universe Future came and went with the clandestine Rose Quartz still in disguise! Conspiracy still holds, though. Finale spoilers ahead. 

Here are the final Lion appearances of all time or until another SU world title is made. (may come back and do a post about roseislion related background art tho)

SUF 19: I Am My Monster

Pre-Lion talk: Lion isn’t in Homeworld Bound or Everything’s Fine, but the PD parallels this season are very noisy. Steven’s going through some feelings his mom has felt too. I think there’s an argument to be made for “pink mode” cries for help to be her influence, like Cactus Steven, but I choose to take the cortisol explanation at face value for now bc I prefer it.

So Lion’s not at the intervention, but once Steven transforms and everyone is trying to talk to him, Connie is shown with Lion. I’m assuming he was napping under the beach house or behind the cliff as usual, Rose could have been hanging out as a ghost with them, w/e.

Connie: We can change him back, can’t we? Garnet: As long as he believes he’s a monster, he’ll stay one.

Everybody’s worried about Steven. Greg is moved next to Lion, because that’s their son and they became close sometime as of like, season 5.

Connie and Lion go to “protect the townspeople”, and make it back just in time for the climax.

White Diamond: ...and if Pink hurt you, it was because I hurt her! Like I hurt Yellow, and Blue, and Steven, and everyone in the entire universe! This is all my fault! Connie: Yes, it is!

(they either ignored the fight to climb up on that dome for her proclamation, or Connie told Lion to jump off a cliff 5 seconds before)

Cannot overstate the importance of Lion witnessing White Diamond acknowledge her actions. Given what White was like before, this is basically Rose’s equivalent of Steven getting an apology from Rose. Generational trauma the anime. 

White is the controlling, abusive parent who tells you there’s something wrong with YOU, if you are anything but what she’s decided you’ll be, and that belief is reinforced a million times by your life and even your own choice and actions. (which are themselves informed by trauma, even though trauma doesn’t excuse the harm you cause others - as Future tells us, Rose and Steven are far more alike than either once realized.) But there wasn’t anything wrong with you; abuse wasn’t for your own good. She says “all of this is because of me”, and I’m glad that Rose, who definitely feels like this was all her fault, heard the root of her trauma acknowledged. 

But this is about Steven, lol. Lion’s part of the hug charge! He delivers Connie to Steven’s nose so she can embrace him with a healing kiss.

Steven panics when he comes down from his meltdown,

Lion gets in his face and offers some pure animal affection. It’s exactly what Steven needs to let go and let himself sob. 

The best shot in all of Future

Series finale callback: Pink Steven Rose and Steven hugging, AGAIN, because this entire show is a double helix of their character arcs intertwined like a hug.

Next post is the tiny bit of Lion in The Future, and then SU is gone, forever, at least until we get artbook lore. I can’t believe how many of these I’ve done, and only for personal satisfaction.

Finale roseislion meta

assuming Shy Rose is Rose, and I really think she is, there’s something specific about her behavior in Rose Buds as relates to I Am My Monster. It’s implied Rose asked Wy-six to come to earth, she’s waiting right against the door, but she and Steven are shocked to see one another and don’t even speak until later in the episode. Rose notices Pearl is freaking out, she notices Steven is uncomfortable even though he’s pretending to be fine, and she leaves because he won’t tell them to leave. 

She takes action to improve Steven’s environment, even though Steven claims he’s ok. She tells him that they (the Rose Quartzes) were also pretending to be fine, and doesn’t downplay the severity of the trauma they’re dealing with in the aftermath of Rose’s decisions (”It’s not whatever.”). And if she came to Earth to tell him she wasn’t “gone”, it’s possible she chickened out, but I also think she realized it’s not the right time to put this on Steven.

Not to understate how big a mess she left him by, y’know, giving up her physical form and remaining as a ghost, but in and of itself her behavior in this one small episode scenario is exactly what Connie must later ask of the Gems in the final showdown. 

In other words, she may have had a crisis about the trauma she’s caused Steven, but she also prioritized Steven’s needs, changed her behavior, and verbally validated his feelings - just in a lower-stakes situation. (I do think she hides her feelings for similar reasons to Steven too, but in this scenario it works in his face) 

And at the end of the episode, Lion is back with Steven, keeping him company - like at the end of I Am My Monster. I think Rose, as usual, has good intentions. She can still come forward eventually, and I like to believe she can and will get there, but like Connie says:

Yes, you hurt him but this isn’t the time to make this all about you!

(Lion: owo;;; ) 

Rose got that and said something about it 16 episodes sooner than the other parents. She got her comeback moment and her potential for the redemption arc/conversation we’ve all been waiting for, but it wasn’t the right time to put that on Steven. also with Rose alive in her own body they could easily drag that story out a few more seasons being bff with Connie has been a good influence on her, lol. If SU is ever continued, there’s potential for Steven and his mom to meet, when both are in a better place for it, and both of them can go to therapy. Still tragic but hopeful in an SU fashion.

Lore on this assertion: Rose Buds Lion liveblog, Shy Rose is Steven’s Mom, the use of The Cave, the fact that she looks and behaves like Lion - watch Rose Buds but only the parts with Shy Rose, meta clips compilation, Rose Ghost Theory & chronological list of SU ghosts, Rose Is Lion theory masterpost
