We'll be getting five new episodes starting On January 30. Too early to call it big, but the titles are looking interesting. I don't see a reason why not to talk about it since we know so little at this point.

Since Steven Universe won't come back until Jan 30th, that gives me enough time to finish watching the rest of the episodes from season 3.

Thanks Garcon and Blaze, but it's actually when they started the Gem War episodes (The Warp onward?) that I started not feeling it, so I liked the "slow burn" and Slice of Life (w/ fantasy elements) episodes more.


However, I did buy a copy of The Answer. smile

I'm surprised that Steven hasn't given the three shit and forced them to start talking.

He's just learned that his mom might not be the saint she's been painted to be, and he had to learn this from complete strangers.

Your momma's so dumb she thinks oral sex means talking dirty.

There's a difference between not knowing and not wanting to know.

Well, not being a saint is one thing, SHATTERING someone is...well....hard to process.

> I'm surprised that Steven hasn't given the three shit and forced them to start talking.

Steven is too nice to do that,I mean he's been angry in the past,but never that angry,it would have to be one horrific secret that finally pushes him over the edge and destroys his trust in them

Steven has a high degree of emotional intelligence. He probably realizes that asking veterans how many people they've killed is not the kind of thing you ask, or the kind of thing that gets a straight answer.

Attack the Light is on sale on Android for anyone who wants it. I got it for about $1.30, but the store says 66% off, so it might differ slightly by country.

I'm still a little unsure about what genre would work best, but I think an RPG is the best way to adapt the mechanics with a relationship system that let's characters take orders from you depending on your trust, and the better that relationship value is, the easier it is to fuse into a stronger player with different stats.

If the relationship is bad, or uneasy, fusing becomes semi-randomized with a lower success rate that can fall apart if your hp is getting low, you have bad status effects, and how your trust is.

This could all be represented by a quick time meter that gets harder to keep up with the more stress and mistrust is happening between the fused partners, and when it's a caring relationship like Stevonnie or Garnet, there's no meter and they get passive benefits.

@darkabomination: I think I said before that a game where "Fusion = Social Links" sounds really dope—not even necessarily a Steven Universe game.

Alright, I know I've already asked something like this before, but what are the chances of Steven Universe having a Complete Monster? Much like many Cartoon Network shows before?

I'd imagine a CM in SU being a Homeworld despot known for her sheer ruthlessness and sadism. Who shatters her troops for fun and employs methods that are considered extreme even by Homeworld standards.

Monsters exist in real life, and I don't think the writers should deny that. If there is going to be a monster, it'll likely be at least one of the Diamonds (with the others being completely awful, petty, and cruel, but not monsters).

The Social Links system would be pretty sweet. Beach City is perfect for the kind of social management gameplay it needs. Playing P3, it's hard not to imagine Steven as the Female Protagonist.

While fighting corrupted Gems you could have a chance of healing and recruiting with a bit of the main Shin Megami Tensei's conversation system and fuse them together.

I'll throw out another conjecture about Pink Diamond, with a heaping of Nightmare Fuel, because I know better than to assume that Nightmare Fuel won't show up: the shards of Pink Diamond come back... and like other gem shards, they can reform partially. And those parts of Pink Diamond have enough of her personality and consciousness that they want revenge on the Crystal Gems... particularly Rose Quartz.

Someone talked about Emotional Intelligence and how Steven has lots of it. You can see this in "The Test," "Onion Friend" and "Mr Greg," where he identified what another character needs and worked to give them that. However this backfired horrifically in "The New Lars," where he tried the same thing and things went south.

What's the name of the trope we see at the end of "Steven and the Stevens," where through time travel we see a whole bunch of Stevens are all in one place?

I don't think there's a page for that yet, but it could have one—just off the top of my head, other examples including the Sealab 2021 episode "Lost in Time", the last scene of Futurama: Bender's Game, and The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Countdown".

One could also make a broader trope about using time travel to duplicate items and people, not necessarily a roomful—there's a puzzle in Chrono Trigger (or the DS remake, can't remember) that involves leaving an item in the past, picking it up in the future, and dropping it in the past so you can have two of them.

I think folks are looking for My Future Self and Me. That can also cross over into Doppelgänger Spin if the team of temporal clones attack together.
