Artie Universe

Artie's spoiler blog. This blog contains spoilers! I will tag them, but they're there and its pretty much the point of this blog, so don't look here if you want to avoid spoilers! You have been warned! Currently contains spoilers up to the episode "I Am My Mom"

[artieuniverse]

where are Peri and Lapis in these episodes? Did they leave previously and I somehow forgot? I feel like Peridot would've been especially helpful when dealing with Aquamarine and Topaz

naw, they’re still around. I figure there just wasn’t enough time/they didn’t think to go get them, but I’d assume they’re going to get involved in the mission to retrieve Steven

[artieuniverse]

Topaz voice though

It was really nice! I looked up the VA and it looks like she’s a Mexican actress, which is rad, and also she was in McFarland, USA which my little sister has a little extras role in! She wasn’t in the same scene, but still pretty cool, imo.

Also I just really love Topaz

Where is Stuck Together on the app I can't find it?

Should be right at the top when you go to the Steven Universe section:

[artieuniverse]

*chanting* HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD H HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD OMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD OMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWORLD HOMEWO

I knoww! Haha, I was actually kinda peeved that “The Trial” wasn’t also released because they stopped it just before we actually get to see any of Homeworld

[artieuniverse]

Just a warning artie i guess Stuck Together just fully leaked??? Like well then. (I watched it already so i can confirm it's out there)

Thanks for the warning! From what I can tell, it was actually officially released, since it's on both the app and CN’s website. Kinda wish CN would at least give us a head’s up when they’re putting up episodes early (I have the app set to tell me when there are new videos, but I got no alert) to prevent people learning the videos are up via sudden spoilers

@fourchetteaquatique replied to your post “Here's a small detail but it seems confirmed that Lars is Filipino...”

His family name was revealed by Ronaldo in the Keep Beach City Weird book i believe

Oh, that would explain why I haven’t seen it, since I haven’t been able to pick up that book yet. Thank you!

[artieuniverse]

Here's a small detail but it seems confirmed that Lars is Filipino which is really cool! Like his surname is Barriga (Spanish but we have a lot of Spanish influence do to our history) and like the ube roll seems so specific to fil. Culture? Like omg

Yea, I thought that was really cool too! Although I didn’t catch where his last name was said/written, I did know ube rolls were Filipino. And he also refers to it as his “family’s weird purple cake” which I think was to stave off any argument that him making that dessert wasn’t an indication of his cultural background, which I liked

I love how in "I am my Dad" Sour Cream knew all of Onions haunts, including the forest place. Hope we will see more of there relationship because they actually seem close.

I just love the Sour Cream & Onion family, they seem really sweet and loving overall. I like to think that Onion takes Sour Cream to meet his seasonal friends, just like he did with Steven in “Onion Friend”

[artieuniverse]

What was... what was Onion trying to do when he spoke to Topaz while stuck on her shoulder?

Knowing Onion, probably trying to con her or make some kind of deal, like how he got Suitcase Sam's lunch in "Onion Trade"

[artieuniverse]

I like how when Connie's ringtone played Pearl knew it was Connie's, that pretty cute too

Yes! Honestly, I really really love Pearl’s almost ‘second mom’ relationship with Connie. It’s so sweet and cute, especially in contrast to the much more dysfunctional 'distant mentor’ relationship in “Sworn to the Sword.” I love seeing characters grow and learn and change and get better and I just really love how that happened with Pearl and Connie’s relationship (I want to see more of it!)

[artieuniverse]

I know you're blog is mainly Steven Universe based but are u a Samurai Jack fan?

I like what I've seen of Samurai Jack (from when it was originally on) but I haven't really watched too much of it. I intend to eventually, though

[artieuniverse]

They've done like... (Call backs? References? Idk the right word,) to other animations before, do you think the Darla similarity is on purpose? Because Cats Don't Dance is one of my fave movies and to me she just SCREAMS Darla, it can't be coincidence

Not sure! It's definitely a possibility, especially since Cats Don't Dance seems just like the kind of thing some of the crew would like (a kind of obscure-ish animated movie with really fun and lively animation)But on the flipside, tiny sweet-looking "kid" who is actually a terror partnered with a huge, tough, mostly silent bodyguard is a somewhat common trope, so it could just be they were doing the same trope.But it would be cool if it were a nod to Cats Don't Dance, cause that movie is awesome and does not get enough love

[artieuniverse]

Have you noticed Topaz have no ears ? Even unfused. Does that mean gems have no ears ?

haha, y’know, one of my earliest theory posts was discussing whether or not Gems have ears (here). So this has been a topic of discussion in fandom since the early days.

My ultimate conclusion is this: Gems’ forms are just manifested light, they don’t have to have anything because their body parts don’t actually serve necessary functions (we have eyes, ears, and noses for our senses but Gems do not need those parts to sense things). For example, most Gems we’ve seen have noses, but Sapphire and Aquamarine don’t. And most non-Fusion Gems have two eyes, but Sapphire only has the one.

So a Gem can manifest a form with ears if they want to have ears, but whether or not ears are a part of their default form probably has to do with what type of Gem they are

[artieuniverse]

I really liked how Connie's ringtone is the song Steven played when they first fused!

yeah! That was really awesome, I love when they do little things like that

[artieuniverse]

I haven't watched the episodes yet but all I can tell from leaks is that new character is basically he cat from that one picture where the knife is being pointed at it

haha, yeah, she is kinda. Though, for me, she makes me think of Darla from Cats Don’t Dance, especially since Topaz is kinda like her Max

[artieuniverse]

Sadie: When I die I want Lars to lower my coffin into the ground so he can let me down one last time

[artieuniverse]

You know about the leak of a main character dying that looked like Lars right?

No, I avoid leaks when possible, but that sounds like a fake leak to me anyway. I really do not see SU killing off a human character
