Spoiler: half hour special jesus though they did such a good job at making the breaking point in action fucking horrifying
Holy shit yes. Spoiler: Relevant lyrics The battlefield is everywhere There is no sanctuary There are no civilians You have two choices Surrender or enlist We are non stop juggernauts Stomp ziggurats
I've never heard that one before (love it!) but I thought for a minute it was We Are Winning bc, wow, the instrumentals are really similar.
also did anyone else notice Spoiler: half hour special this i mean i certainly ain't complaining about this animation error but
Watching the ep now, just gotta say I REALLY LOVE new character, she's lorge and pretty and I'm increasingly gay for every crystal gem that's not Steven.
first thing i want to say is. between yesterday with amethyst making 'egg salad' in the garbage disposal and eating it like hours later with handfuls of mayonaisse, and today's adventure in eating a nightmare pizza burrito snake-style, i love her and she's disgusting but that's why i love her. also i'm glad gems don't have actual stomachs or she'd be dead by now probably. second thing... i really just feel like i need a hug after this episode. Spoiler: bismuth spoilers i like implications of.. not 'evil' rose, but, flawed rose. bismuth's face looked so twisted when she told steven that he really is better than his mom. i wouldn't blame her for.. well, hating rose. i hope one day she can be unbubbled. i am sort of puzzling on the logic. i guess they just view her as a danger to not have bubbled? i don't know. and poor steven. having to fix his mom's mistakes. stuff he didn't even know about. i really do hope we get more story stuff.. soonish. i think i'm actually getting impatient. who knows how long this show will be going for though. i just feel like i'm missing so many pieces to understanding so many things that it's starting to get legitimately a little frustrating.
"error" Spoiler she's totally just wearing an apron and boots and nothing else and I'm Okay with that.
Spoiler "now you look like you really mean bismuth" more like BAD PUNS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO THAT CREEPY
Spoiler right! right!!! I was so pleased by the cleverness of doing that after steven's "and when she says it the third time it'll be REALLY funny!!!"
Spoiler: half hour special i sorta shipped bismuth with pearl ever since i saw the original promo. and now i'm thinking, "after what rose did to bismuth, bispearl probably would be really awkward. since, well, bismuth hates rose now and pearl loves rose." and i think it's interesting how bismuth made a lot of jokes about everyone's function and status in Gem society, ingroup jokes, jokes that would be mean if they weren't friends and if they didn't know that she was teasing and if she wasn't a rebel. i don't know exactly how i interpret it, but i think it's an interesting thing about her. and i love how casually bismuth talked about Gem stuff and about her shared history with pearl and garnet. and while it's hard to say stuff about the breaking point after what's already been said, i do have one thing to say about it: bismuth is basically like a tumblr sjw with access to weapons.
Spoiler Halfway through the ep and my need for an SU and IDW g1 transformers crossover is intensifying.
Spoiler Like goddamn get Megatron and Bismuth in a room together. The results will be amazing, and also probably a war crime. 'Shattering gems? Wouldn't that make us the same as Homeworld?' 'Of course not! We'd be shattering them for the sake of our Cause, to protect our allies, our friends... to free all gems from Homeworld's tyranny!'
Hang on, what does this say about... Spoiler: Thoughts on the "Rose is Pink Diamond" theory So, Bismuth said that Rose was "just another Quartz", like so many others, but who then rebelled. But now we know for a fact that Rose has lied to people before. What if she told her army this grand story about how she rebelled and rose up... to give them all a sense of "I can be anything!" instead of letting them know the truth, i.e. that she was royalty?
