Friends on the Other Side is my fav Disney villain song, thought it mixed spoken dialogue with singing rather well.

I do have to wonder what a song would even be like for villainous characters, because Homeworld's villainous characters distinctly lacking melodic elements.

If it involved singing but was heavily distorted with a backing track of Harsh Noise, that would be awesome. Some stuff in the soundtrack already gets pretty high on the Mohs Scale of Musical Hardness.

Going back to those Hamilton mash-ups, if Peridot's Burr, then who are Jefferson and Madison? Jasper and Lapis? I can see Jasper as Hercules Mulligan, though I'm not sure if Lapis would make a good Jefferson or Lafayette.

Really, I'm only asking because I want to know who I should picture shouting "SOUTHERN MOTHERFUCKIN' DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICANS!"

Oh God! Natural light!

[up][up]Friends on the Other Side was great. I just wish it was a bit longer post-deal.

Ehh, but Jasper's leitmotif is the best in the show it's so cool!!

Along with Connie's which is some heartbreaking visual novel Ill Girl underclassman-who's-gonna-die-if-you-don't-get-the-best-ending shit and I love it.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

So Cartoon Network has finally update their schedule, and TV Guide confirms the first two episodes are "Super Watermelon Island" then "Gem Drill". We should get the third episode's title tomorrow.

The only villain I could see getting a song now is Jasper. The rest of them (at least, that we've met so far) aren't really the type I would see bursting into song, but I can imagine Jasper having a very shouty, possibly mostly spoken song about how much she wants to beat Garnet and/or Rose and/or Steven in a fight.

Or a song about bingo.

I would mind Peridot getting a self-depricating "The Villain Sucks" Song about Homeworld in general and the person she used to be in particular. She has yet to sing while crying, after all, so she's not a true Crystal Gem yet.

What about Yellow Diamond? Actually no, that would seem weird when I think about it.

Yellow Diamond not getting a villain song at some point would be a crime.

They'll squeeze a song in there for YD somehow, whether it makes sense or not. No way they're going to pass up a chance like that.

'd like it if they went the opposite way. The Crystal Gems could be associated with songs and passionate musical numbers, whereas the diamonds calmly recite mantras and poetry, but do so without any feeling or passion.

The High tier Gems are all just emotionless drones?

That might not seem fitting just yet.

Connie's got one of the best if understated themes in the show. It's just so damn gently sweet. Then the visual novel love interest mush gets cranked up further with the music box rendition.

Has it ever been explained where pearls come from? I mean, it's not like Homeworld has giant clams to produce them or anything.

[up] ...you know, they just might.

Pearls are implied, at least pearls like our Pearl, to be luxury servants, so seeing Homeworld have some sort of a custom making process for them would make sense.

I could also see some sort of natural process to make gems that doesn't require all the technology fuss.

It isn't just implied, we know that. Peridot are already called them custom made servants.

Did Connie's theme change from when she was a human girl wearing rose colored glasses after she was transformed into a member of the Rose collective?

Well, it'd be the Diamonds, so they wouldn't be "drones."

The effect would be more like that the Diamonds don't understand and/or care about the passion and pathos that drive the Crystal Gems to be such musical beings - they're not "emotionless," rather they don't see the worth in expressing themselves in such a way. Which would work really well with what we know about Homeworld.

So Gem culture is a reaction to reject the emotional baggage of their biologic humanoid progenitors?
