hmm. iām rewatching steven universe from the beginning. i know the show has itās issues, god knows i donāt need to tell anyone that. thereās enough posts and discussions on it. itās painful to think about, knowing this showās bigger flaws and past issues with itās crew. talking about itās major flaws is always worth discussing but i canāt add to the discussion and itāll just wear me down so iād rather not at all. sorry to be blunt, thank you for understanding.
that said, iāve watched it from the very start, back when i was in high school and knowing in just a month itāll be over is.... really weird. i remember having my big first gay crush on both pearl and rose back in high school, it really felt like a gay awakening alkjdsflasdf GOD i crushed hard on rose so bad.
and i know its not a perfect analogy but i feel like i grew up alongside steven. god i was like, 17? 16? when the show first aired? its been forever. this show has meant so much to me for so many reasons, iām sure anyone can see itās influence on my art and writing.
i just watchedĀ āWinter Forecastā which legitimately feels like a perfect episode. god, i really love this show and its really both nostalgic and bittersweet to watch it again, imperfections and all. (if every pork chop were perfect-) the show really hits differently as a full adult and knowing how SU:F goes too. i donāt even really know how to properly describe what iām feeling, its just like. a lot. idk. iām going to miss this show. god, i really am. with all the long hiatuses i donāt think its ever going to feel like its gone,Ā iāll always feel like theres gonna be a new episode down the corner but i know there wonāt be.
