Pearl's story would be high Gothic horror romance

Amethyst's spooky story would be full of blood,guts and every horror cliche you can think of

Garnet's would probably tell a legitimately scary story about someone who defied their all powerful masters and "Paid the price"

Lapis..well her's would probably be a retelling of her time in the mirror and being fused with Jasper

Peridot would probably steal here from Camp Pining Hearts.

More specifically, Peridot's nightmare would effectively be a Camp Pining Hearts Ship Sinking 'fic.

I think Peridot's would start out as something that sounds mundane to her but is weird

"So there I was in the Prime/Beta Kindergarten when I saw this shadow next to one of the exit holes,it was'nt there before but it was now,it was obviously trying to be stealthy but I detected.I would have blasted it with my limb enhancers but it just vanished

"Maybe you saw a..ghost?

"There's no such thing!Gems don't have ghosts,we can't expire thus we no mortal remains from which a ghost may come from"

"Maybe it was a shattered Gem?"

"Why would a shattered Gem haunt a Kindergarten?That is so illogical!"

I'm having fun imagining such an episode. Would Pearl's story be a super tame and sanitized story meant for little kids, or a super dark and uncomfortable war story? Maybe both, she starts it as the former but accidentally trails off into the latter.
Or a super dark and uncomfortable war story told in the style of a super tame and sanitized story meant for little kids. The sheer dissonance of the story would make it the most horrifying of all.

I remember Rose at first rebuffed Greg's romantic advances because she thought she'd outlived him. Except looking over it, it's not quite the concern with most Mayfly December Romances.

"Your life is short and you have dreams. I won't let you give up on everything you want."

Rose was not concern about getting attached to Greg only to watch him grow old and die. Her line of reasoning was "You shouldn't fall in love with me, I'm not worth your time."

New Dove short.

I love how the director in the short is also the real life director of the shorts.

Did someone really say the "Heart of the Crystal Gems" DVD would have a longer version of "Reunited", or as that just a misquote?

[up] A misquote, I believe (if I remember correctly, it was in reference to "Reunited" being a double-length episode already).

Think we'll ever figure out if Steven can control his age like "So Many Birthdays" suggested? Like separate from shapeshifting, because that didn't tired him out.

In "Steven's Birthday", everyone kind of forgot he could do that, but then he basically did it anyway.

Though Rose/Pink could apparently hold shapeshifted forms for a really long time without strain, so maybe Steven could eventually as well.

Hasn't it been said that Steven's age is based on his maturity/how is he feels?

And yeah, maybe he could shapeshift for an extended period of time one day.

That’s how it worked in “So Many Birthdays”, but not any other time.

The animation team visited Cartoon Network studios.

Production-wise, the movie is past storyboarding (the board itself is in three numbered stacked, piled up about two feet tall total) and currently being animated.

So now we know for sure the movie will not be the finale, as new storyboard artists were just hired recently. At this point, I'm wondering whether the movie will air (not just be finished) before or partway into season six.

Cartoon Network just went back to airing the series from the beginning, and man does Steven ever sound different. He has this doofy quality in his voice that has completely vanished. I'm not even totally sure when that happened. I think it was gone by the arrival of Jasper? And remember his laugh? His super doofy laugh? Nowadays when Steven laughs he, wait, I actually can't remember the last time I heard Steven laugh.

From what I recall it's still kind of goofy, but not as much as the start of the show.

As Steven himself said, happened sometime around when he learned that his mom was a war criminal.

It's been fun.

His voice had a kind of sing-songy quality to it for the first half season or so.

Although his pitch had a curve where it was getting deeper, then they started pitching it back up to where it started.

Because they weren't shown in her initial appearance. And for the joke too, I guess.

Also she has nails
