So, don't think it was mentioned here, but from a CN preview, it looks like the next episode of Steven Universe is set in the winter.

Also, putting the following under spoiler tags so you can avoid seeing me bitch about parts of the fandom.

I'm so fucking sick of people making AIDS jokes about Jasper. That shit is incredibly homophobic, and it makes me feel sick to my stomach when I see yet another post on another site about how Jasper died from AIDS and won't be back.

I've seen them in Jasper's tag on tumblr multiple times. It's horrible.

On the one hand, Jasper's corruption could potentially be seen as a metaphor for STD's, but on the other hand, AIDS jokes are annoying and kind of insulting.

I agree about the AIDS joke. The whole joke is just making fun of someone for getting AIDS. At best, it's just mean spirited and unoriginal. I get the connection they were trying to make (transmitting corruption through fusion = STD), but I think something like Syphilis or something would've been more fitting.

Basically, generally offensive jokes can be funny if done well, but a joke about someone getting AIDS will almost definitely cross the line. It's sort of like the Godwin's Law of diseases, like cancer. The only kinds of jokes about it that can work (and even then only with the right people) simply name it, and don't make the joke about someone getting it. They should be more about the shock of saying it, and not mocking anyone who gets or has it. I'd say this clip is a good example of that.

But even then, only fans of offensive humor will actually find it funny.

Would the line, "You are mindless, soil-soving losers!" be a pretty strong slur towards Gems as a whole? Let's just say it's from a member of another alien race or a God of Evil.

Well, Bismuth called the elites "upper-crust", so I guess there are geology-based insults flying around Gems. I just wonder if the show will dabble in them again.

That's unfortunate for TTG, a lot of people usually watch that show.

That's positive for SU, "fewer" people people usually watch that show in comparison.

Their team attacks are usually their fusions

I think the most team attack-y thing they've ever done, sans fusion, is Garnet throwing/spiking Amethyst.

Hey guys, am I misremembering things, or were Lapis's issues with Peridot never really...resolved? They did an episode showing that Lapis still has an understandable grudge against Peri, but I don't recall any kind of reconciliation. It seemed like they went from Steven trying to help them hash out their differences to Lapis shacking up with Peridot with no issue.

#45148: Nov 25th 2016 at 6:41:27 AM

You're correct. Lapis helped save Peri from the Rubies, but never actually apologized for what she'd done to her, which is a reason why some people dislike Lapis.

In general, I think Lapis has only actually expressed guilt over breaking Greg's leg and torturing Jasper. Aside from those, she hasn't really mentioned feeling sorry for what she's done.

#45149: Nov 25th 2016 at 7:25:42 AM

They've been kind of neglecting Lapis since her last encounter with Jasper. She still makes appearance, but her character hasn't progressed in some time. Hopefully she'll be given more to do in the near future.

smokeycut Since: Mar, 2013
#45150: Nov 25th 2016 at 7:31:23 AM

Yeah, same here. She's one of the characters I like most, and I want to see them actually do some more interesting things with her.

Also, just a small thing, but does anyone else kind of wish that Lapis kept her mirror eyes permanently after being healed? Because that was a really cool design choice, in my opinion, and I'm sad they've only appeared once since her debut.
