How can we see this from Steven's point of view? Well the obvious route is for him to be hiding nearby, like when Peridot called Yellow Diamond. Another way is for the initial encounter to occur offscreen, and an episode starts/ends with the others unable to find her* —until Steven looks at his phone and notices his inbox suddenly flooded with e-mails.

This, except instead of emails they should use the Twitter. Imagine them doing it with the real one - a little while before the episode starts, we suddenly start getting panicked tweets from Peridot about being in danger and not being sure what to do and trying to get a message to Steven without Jasper noticing, but without much explanation until the episode itself airs.

I like to think that humans have seen a lot of Gem shit go down, so they figured if it was going to happen, Connie should be free to learn how to fight them.

So either Connie's going to defeat a corrupted Gem for the first time or Stevonnie is.

I thought Twitter first, but that raises the question of why no one else would respond to a public distress call.

But then, maybe Peridot's Twitter has no followers in-show but Steven. Yes, the real one has currently has about eighty-one thousand, but Steven was the only one who watched Ronaldo's documentary, and his Character Blog regularly gets hundreds or thousands of likes/reblogs per post.

[up]When you randomly put spoiler tags on speculation like that, people think you're bringing leaks out of the spoiler thread.

I was trying to find this non-colorized art someone posted (either here or on the subreddit) of the cool kids...and apparently the fandom has put them into a poly relationship?

I was confused why all three of them were talking about an 8-month anniversary in the art (which I still can't find, by the way), and it wasn't until I was trying to find it that I realized why.

That would be interesting if the show actually did imply that all three of them were dating. I can't think of the last time a relationship between more than two people was portrayed positively. The closest I can think of is Futurama, and Fry still eventually had a problem with it before the episode was over. And it would seem like a weird line to draw for a show like this to draw.

I mean, it's still debatable whether polyamory even is a good thing. Maybe the crewniverse doesn't want to give a solid and positive opinion on something which may or may not be an emotionally healthy practice.

I, personally, hold no opinion one way or the other, so don't jump down my throat.

[up] I guess that's a good point. It could be very easy for someone to get the short end of the stick in that kind of relationship. And (some of) the general public is only just now warming up to the idea of same-gender relationships, so I guess they don't want to go too far.

It fixes the problem of deciding who should be together. Buck x Sour Cream? Buck x Jenny? Sour Cream x Jenny?

Why not Buck x Sour Cream x Jenny? Perfect solution.

CN put up more clips for next week's episodes. These ones seem slightly more spoilerish... I think?

But the O T3iest OT3 is still pearlnet.

I think I wanna avoid spoilers for the next couple of weeks...to a reasonable extent...aside from what I've already been spoiled on.

[up][up]The actual title is obivously something different, but seeing as the title itself is a spoiler I just left it as that for now.

Also that specific episode will be the 100th episode of SU! Nice to know we've gotten this far

[up]I only posted them here because they are clips officially released by CN, which even the crew have been saying are mostly fair game. I'll remove them if you guys want though.

I think the links are fine, but lets keep discussion for that episode in the spoiler thread, mostly because there was a major clip leaked from it a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure about the "Crack the Whip" and "Steven vs Amethyst" clips. One of them seems to be giving away something about the end of "Gem Hunt".

There are leaks in the spoiler thread that gave away more, just a heads up.
