What if one of the characters on Camp Pining Hearts was called Claude.

What if one of the actors is named Claude.

To add my few cents about fandoms, bronies are wonderful and I feel terrible seeing how much hate they get, especially from SU fandom. Like...how can some many people watch this show and not get the message about treating others with love and respect?

Um , have you SEEN how bronies fans treat Sonic the Hedgehog?

I haven't. Sonic is okay, but the fandom's own worst enemy and greatest detractor is itself.

I sort of have a pet theory that Steven might get "poofed" one episode, but rather than having his body retreat into his gem, instead he sort of falls unconscious, or his powers suddenly stop working for whatever reason.

It wouldn't be anything enough to kill Steven, but he might overexert himself or something, and the other characters would have to deal with the consequences of this.

EDIT: On fandoms... Undertale and Steven Universe are... sort of similar, but only really indirectly. They both sort of draw from the same base of Earthbound, but they go in different though similar directions. And Undertale also has the weird position of being a game with both a disliked fandom but also a highly regarded game as a whole. As in, it got a lot of critical acclaim, and many would regard it as the best game of 2015, which only helps to fuel the game's absurdly large hype train.

I know little enough about Sonic but I don't have a problem with it. But then, yes, there are plenty of jerks who (quite against the values of the show) will denigrate other fandoms to build up theirs, and so make the rest of us look bad, increasing all-around defensiveness and lashing out, etc. But it's not like this is exclusive to any fandom (though it's more prominent in some). I just want to enjoy shows and share that enjoyment.

Counterproductive.

I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Undertale was the best video game of all time. OF ALL TIME.

I was listening to an Alice Cooper album on my way to work, and I remembered his recurring Steven character and found it funny how I can attach such different significances to a single name without connecting them. So now I'm imagining the liner notes from Alice Cooper Goes to Hell in Pearl or Garnet's voice:

Lay still, Steven, and I'll tell you a bedtime story. I'll tell you a bedtime story that's not for all children. It's a very special story, that only special children will understand. It's a half-awake story, and it will be better if you close your eyes. It's a story that takes place in a dream, like other nightmares you have known. It's a dream that Alice has dreamed. You can dream along with him. You can follow Alice down the staircase, deep, down the stairs to the pit where he doesn't want to go, but he has to.

If you go to sleep now, Steven, you can go down the long and endless staircase and sing sweet songs to Alice and free him. And if you can't get to sleep, Steven, and in the middle of night you get out of bed, when everything is quiet and the trees are still and the birds are hiding from the dark, you can lay down on your bedroom floor and press your ear tightly to the boards. If you listen very carefully you can hear Alice searching for a way out, forever chasing rainbows.

Sleep tight, Steven. And have a good night.

About sonic fandom, most complain I have seen so far arent about the chararter or any show but the fact that it become synonimous with furry fandom and they where EVERYWHERE, it was imposible visit Devianart without seen a sonicsona, very often without nothing to do with the show

The bronies on the other have, have to deal with the fact that main show for littlegirl is enjoy by other people with all the thing atach to it and some jerk to atack the fandom for it(Im looking to you cracked) at real pitty

And going back to SU, I first I didnt like greg, I consider him a burden to Steve and CG, now in my opinion go to the other way and said gem have been insensitive and downright dickish with him(Yeah im taking about amathys, what she did was REAL dick move)

Both sides needs to talk. I would like the gems and Greg could get along again. Althought, in Steven's birthday, they allowed Greg to be with Steven, so it might be a chance.

Arguing about fandom is inherently stupid because you're trying to characterize a group of people who have nothing in common besides one point of interest.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but Aivisura posted the Cluster's theme.

Also the track the plays while Steven is communicating with the Cluster.

Also Also, Peri's elevator music

Hope you're ready for some musical Nightmare Fuel! grin

One can't be a burden to the Steven Crystal Gems if that person is never really around them.

For the people asking about Gravity Falls, yes the fandom is pretty bad, on Tumblr at least. Two examples, they ship the twins together or Dipper with the main villain, Bill Cipher. I've also seen people ship Ford and Stan together.

But then if they have children together they'll always have to worry about legitimacy of the chlldren and hide from the law and stuff! Twincest between Half I Identical Twins is a conflict goldmine! The things they'd do for love!

That's it?...

Crack ships are freaky, but when I think of bad communities I think of toxic and angry ones. Like communities that verbally attack others for thinking differently, or angry communities that demand the creators write things a certain way, to be good like they used to be or else.

The Gravity Falls fandom could be like that sometimes. The subreddit had some pretty awful mods, and around the time of the finale (and for a month or two after) people kept on arguing about Mabel.

Eh, I'm not talking about debates. That happens with any fandom. Especially after finales. There's always going to be some disagreements. That's not bad by itself.

I draw the line, when it gets to the point they believe so strongly in what they think about fiction, that if anyone offers a different perspective they sling out personal attacks and real life threats.

When it gets to that point it's usually because the fandom has generated a Status Quo that must be strictly followed, and anyone who doesn't toe the-line is treated as an invader that has to be purged. It's pretty crazy.
