Not a fan of the way a lot of contemporary trans headcanons tend to be some variant of "this character looks or acts GNC and no self-respecting cis person would ever deviate from the strictest interpretation of their gender role by choice, right? I'm totally being progressive by doing this and not at all reinforcing sexist stereotypes about binary gender roles, right?"

But most of the evidence people point to for Lars has more substance than that so yeah, I actually do agree with the interpretation that he's a trans guy. Though when some people point to his lack of five o'clock shadow in the island episode as proof, it should be noted that he is half-Asian, and I can say from family experience that it's normal for otherwise masculine-looking Asian cis men to not grow any noticeable facial hair in that same span of time.

I think Lars being trans is semi believable,from what I can remember its a fairly old but harmless headcanon

[up][up] I mean TBF a lot of people doing that are GNC trans people projecting their own experiences. For me it's the bit about Lars ripping up his own photo coupled with the whole "Laramie" thing.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

It just hit me while I was hitting in a very hot car that if Lapis had had the Rejuvenator used on her it would meant the loss of her trauma from being trapped in the mirror and also her memories of the bad fusion with Jasper,but also all her happy memories and character development she's gained since then.

Reminds me of how the memory eraser gun works in Gravity Falls.

Come to think of it, did Jasper ever try to go back to Homeworld after she was uncorrupted by Steven and the Diamonds? Maybe Jasper did return to Homeworld and decided that she simply didn't fit into their society due to being a gem made for war, or maybe she was exiled to Earth because her violent ideologies aren't tolerated during Era 3. Or maybe she didn't try and decided she'd rather go sulk in a cave somewhere because she felt she lost her main purpose for existing.

Knowing Jasper returning home even after hostilities have ended is still embarrassing for her,pride and all that.

Some potentially SU related news: Rebecca is planning on streaming on the 17th to support the Trevor Project, and is going to make a "big announcement" at the end.

My hope is a movie adapting that "Gem origins" arc they were discussing but never got around to.

I'm not holding out for a movie. At best, a series of shorts. My guess would be comics, merch, or maybe something nonfiction like a podcast or special or NYCC appearance.

I think Zach Callison retired from acting, so I don't think we'd be getting something like a movie or sequel unless someone else takes up the starting role.

If it's about the Gem origins, it could be the only piece of Steven Universe media without Steven Universe himself. Have it star Pink or White Diamond and be set thousands of years ago.

But still keep it a musical, that's essential.

[up][up] He retired? I thought he just took a break.

I still think an SU anthology series would be interesting. Something set across the whole timeline so it doesn't have to be restricted to one part of the show.

I feel like if it were an actual new series in the SU-verse, it'd have been announced by Cartoon Network or something, so it's probably something smaller, like behind-the-scenes stuff, or a tie-in book, or something.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Actually, it would be funny if it was Inverse Steven Universe, where it's the original show but now all the scenes that we didn't see when the show focused on Steven.

Steven Inverse.

Okay that would be amazing actually-

The one exception is "Jail Break", where it cuts to Steven running to free Pearl and Amethyst while Garnet fights Jasper in the background

[up][up] Steven Universe minus Steven? Huh, now that I think about it, a series in the vein of Garfield Minus Garfield for Steven Universe would be something to behold.

The "gregnant" part of the original meme always makes me think of this animatic lol.

being gregnant is a serious condition if you're a Gem and the results are often fatal!
