Lars is an Off Color too, and they're all going back into space once Rhodo, Paddy, Fluorite and the Twins graduate.

I just kinda feel this is weird because Lars being in space IS far closer to the Status Quo for the viewers. The bakery would be a new dynamic to explore because even if it's in universe been running longer than Lars's space adventures, we've never got an episode about it.

I know being annoyed and confused is the point, but I am both of those things.
I never expected they'd sink Larsadie like that
People were guessing this since the Future opening showed Sadie and Shep completely separate from Lars—especially when the movie, in hindsight, never implied they were a couple. I'm surprised no one brought it up here.

Sadie and Lars' relationship was based on neither of them having any close friends besides Steven, so I'm not especially upset. I just wish we'd seen them together more (not necessarily romantically) between now and Lars making it back to Earth.

What surprised me is that it took Steven months to hear about that or Lars moving out.


Shep kinda looks like a NEOKOSMOS character—not surprising given Danny Cragg was still doing character designs for Future.

also I'm going to miss Sadie's three-toned hair. That was a look and a half.
The ponytail is nice, but her movie look was so freaking cool.

The way time has been rapidly advancing, there doesn't seem to be much of a status quo. Lars may be back at the bakery or doing something else entirely before Future is over.

It's not like Lars should hesitate to casually explore space, but there's an undercurrent of him running away from his problems/feelings.

(You're also making me think of a "Is DMX in jail?"-style website at "islarsinspace.com")

I'm starting to wonder if Steven will move out of Beach City.

RIP Larsadie.

BTW, I expected Lars would sooner or later want to go back to Outer Space.

I think Lars still has feelings for Sadie, which doesn't bother me, I've had many one sided ships. Would be interested to know what Shep is like though.

Give me awkward interactions with the Rose Quartzs over Steven still inserting himself into Lars and Sadie's relationship issues any day. Yeesh.

I wonder if "give Steven a therapist" becoming a meme in the fandom is a good thing or not.

Having someone completely detached from everything he's ever been through that's legally obligated not to tell anyone else seems like the only way he's gonna open up at this point.

I don’t think the episode is going to be about Steven dealing with Lars and Sadie’s relationship. That scene reads to me as set up for an overarching conflict about everyone around Steven coming to new stages in their lives and moving on to new ones, while Steven finds he has trouble wanting to do so.

It’s the capper to the running plot of Steven being rather unhealthily invested in Little Homeschool.

My guess is that immediately after we get a scene of something else that seemed comfortable in Steven’s life changing, with him unable to stop it. Like, I dunno, one of the Crystal Gems decides to take a sabbatical or something.

And another checkon the list. This leaves White Diamond and the giant worm.

We're in the 10th pair of episodes right? cause if so that means there is only two left.

I'm really sorry for the whining. I was wrong about Steven. I'm just in a REALLY shitty place mentally and emotionally right now.

Here's a neat idea for a spin-off; an anthology series covering events we know happened, but couldn't experience due to the Steven-only perspective.

[up] I thought the same! They're such lovely characters, they should have been given at least one line each. There were so many situations where Padparadscha could have predicted the past or Rhodonite could have freaked out...

[up] Most likely. They all have individual voice actors who were most likely unavailable.

On a different note: does Shep being voiced by a transgender actor, Indya Moore, qualify for Actor-Shared Background? Gender is usually not included in that trope (as male characters being voiced by men and females being voiced by women is seen as the default, and we have Cross-Dressing Voices for when there's a deviation from that), but a trans character being voiced by an actual trans actor is much more rare, thus possibly worth mentioning?
