This may have been discussed before, but in keeping it together when garnet was talking with herself who was saying what? I mean you could asume the mos angry one was Ruby, but you could also say Saphire would be the one most likely to say "This is punishment for the rebellion!", I mean, do anyone knows for sure who said what?

IIRC, the scene shifted from showing Garnet's red eye and her blue eye, as a neat "this is who's speaking" tell.

Catching up on the episodes I missed. Nice to know that Even Kevin™ uses proper gender pronouns.

A lot of people have gone "Why did Rose/Pink think this was a good idea", but I think the entire purpose of this clip was to tell us why she came up with the idea. Blue flat out says "As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed."
It is a bad plan, even without the audience's extreme hindsight, but it's easy to understand why she'd come up with it.

Blue's voice actresses' Irish accent is really noticeable here.
Yeah, I'm wondering if that's just her natural accent, and they decided that sounded better than trying to maintain an American one. I wonder what the point of it was in the first place—it was clear long before then that whatever accent gems speak with is totally arbitrary.

The actress is Irish, I think.

The bumper said the show's coming back in summer, and CN is premiering something every day, from Monday to the end of summer. The Futon Critic has started listing a bunch of episodes over two months into the future, which doesn't include any Steven Universe so far, but does have conspicuously open dates (though there also others with multiple premiers):

  • Saturday, June 23
  • Friday through Monday, June 29->July 1
  • Every weekend in July

It's also possible the next episodes will air as another special event, separate from the summer of premieres (the current schedule doesn't include the Adventure Time finale or "Diamonds and Lemons" special either).


Rebecca Sugar spoke for a while to the LA Times. Sugar mentioned that she didn't come out as bisexual, even to her friends or family, until after the show started. It's also mentioned that the Dove short was just the first of six, but that they're coming out over the course of two years.

I believe the "six Dove shorts released over two years" thing was already mentioned in the announcement article. If I did my math right, that means we're gonna get two more shorts this year and then three shorts next year.

With the knowledge that who Rose really is revealed, who do you think is the person "Love Like You" is dedicated to? Some say Steven, others say Greg.

It really makes sense in hindsight, especially how much rose self-loathed herself.

For the billionth time, it’s thematic, not just applicable to one character.

Was just thinking about the painting of Rose that's hanging in the front of the temple,and I realised something since i've seen some people suggest Vidalia painted Rose.Given how the Gems rarely interact with Humans I think it's a little unlikely that Rose approached Vidalia on her own and asked to be painted, since Amethyst actually interacted with Vidalia I think it's more likely that Amethyst had to convince Rose to be the subject of a painting,probably after a lot of pleading

Or the painter was someone they knew along ago,would be interesting if they explored why the painting was made

Have they ever called it a painting? It could just be a framed photo. It's hard to tell in a cartoon.

It's not explicitly been called a painting but the way it's hung in the front room gives me the impression that it is one

I've always been under the impression it was a painting, myself.

If it's a painting, and if it's by Vidalia, couldn't Greg have asked her to paint it?

Vidalia painting it actually seems pretty likely. With some additional shenanigans they could maybe make an episode out of that.

Pink Diamond sketch by Rebecca Sugar.


I've been curious about how foreign languages translate gems' names, specifically Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond.

For one thing, I think English is rare is the way adjectives can function as nouns. So "Rose Quartz" can mean "quartz that's the color rose" and "quartz nebulously related to roses" (though I'm pretty sure the actual gemstone means the former). But in most other languages, "rose quartz" has the "rose" part definitely as an adjective for the color—or it' one word. And some have a completely different name for the same gemstone (for instance, it seems the Arabic name literally translates to "flower quartz").

Conversely, many languages use the same word for "pink" and "rose" (the color and/or the flower). Shortening Rose Quartz or Pink Diamond's names, as the English dialogue does, could get real confusing.

There's something that has confused me about gem creation. If gems are grown in the ground like plants, how are they "programmed"?

[up][up] Now that you mention it, spanish for both Rose and Pink is indeed the same word. "Rosa" to be exact. So thinking about it, "Rosa Cuarzo" and "Diamante Rosa" make it fairly obvious that they could be the same person.

Huh, good thing never watched it on my home language.

[up] But necessarily, it could be considered foreshadowing of Rose being part of Pink Diamond's court
