"HERE COMES THE GENERAL" may be one of my favorite things in the entire musical.

Do you think there's ever going to be a yes or no answer definitely stated in the show?

yes.

A part of me is still impressed they can say that Ruby and Sapphire are a relationship and in love with each other, using female pronouns and all. No ambiguity whatsoever.

This might actually be the main reason why gems are stated to be non-sexual: as a possible response to complaints.

If Jasper could heal would that be awesome Y/N?

wild mass guessRose had healing tears. Steven has healing spit. Jasper has healing snot, but will never realize it because her nose is a rock.wild mass guess

Bruisers don't heal, mang. That goes against the arbitrary conventions that everyone follows.

Nay. Also I don't see how that would be very awesome.

What about Rose herself? Tall stocky Quartz who wields a sword and shield and can heal people.

She's not a Bruiser.

She's a Defense Healer who's making use of her naturally high strength stat. from being a Quartz.

As well as leveling up dexterity to become a Sword wielder.

Rose also doesn't use her healing during combat. Her healing is only really useful for fixing their gemstones after a fight is over.

She'd be useless in combat if she didn't learn to fight.

Defense is useless in a fight unless you learn to fight.

That's why she's so great.

Who knows, the show may very well avert No Cure for Evil.

Anyway, the one thing I'm really waiting for is an honest to God Villain Song. It's taking way too long, dammit. And no, joining the good guys and then singing does not count.

Well you'd have to come up with a good justification for it. Most villain songs are disconnected sequences from the main plot, while Steven Universe is explicitly framed from Steven's limited perspective. He'd have to somehow be sneaking in on some sort of evil monologue or something like that, and the amount of villains you could use for that are rapidly decreasing (as in, literally just YD and Jasper, and finding a way to get Steven to hear in on YD singing would be forced as fuck).

Maybe a flashback sequence a la The Answer?

Patti LuPone has to sing a villain song. To hire her but not have her belt an amazing, over the top hammy villain song would just be a waste.

Not arguing, but I'm reminded of how Idina Menzel never sang in Enchanted, and she actually considered it a compliment, just being hired for her acting skills.

There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.

Our best bet would be something like The Oogie Boogie Song from A Nightmare Before Christmas: where the villain captures the heroes and gloats, "Ha ha, I'm going to win, losers!" A man can dream.

[up]x4 Patti LuPone not just a Broadway legend, she's the Broadway legend.

In Gypsy (a lot of the people posting on that video are Steven Universe fans, actually)

In Evita

Some of you may know what a HUGE musical theater nerd I am. When I heard her voice as YD I almost stopped breathing. I had to rewatch it a second time to even hear what was happening

Song leads to dance.

Dance leads to fusion.

Fusion leads to dogs and cats living in sin and nobody wants to see that.
