Thinking about the leak for Together Forever.
I wonder if its gonna be like throughout the episode we know hes gonna propose or if he drops the bomb when he actually does it. Is it going to be a buildup plan or like a panicked last resort?
"Connie has a very clear vision of her future and Steven wants to make sure he's a part of it."
Rewatched Bismuth Casual to get some info. Connie seems to have been busy and might be on some sort of break from Cram School (or maybe a weekend off for hangouts). Being we haven't seen her since episode one's cameo showing her studying, she seems to have been busy a lot and very absent from Steven's life.
"When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight, now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I am even her best friend anymore."
Hes been feeling like this for a couple months.
"Connie I'm sorry...I dont want to hold you back."
"You've got cram school, new friends, you're going places and I'm happy for you, but I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect but...I DONT KNOW HOW TO SKATE."
"Skating is what you're worried about?"
This convo makes me feel Connie doesn't fully grasp what's going on with Steven. She's confused and misled into thinking he's just talking about skating in general. She does not realise Steven's issue I don't think.
And everyone who's heard the audio leak might have came to the same conclusion that the Stevonnie fusing in this episode might also have jumpstarted the idea of Steven wanting to be a permafusion. Stevonnie helped him connect with Connie again. Stevonnie solved a problem. For a moment he wasn't alone.
Plus the scene from the promo of seeing Ruby and Sapphire and whatever convo they have after unfusing. A recipe for disaster for sure.
"I know you might think I'm being sentimental but this makes sense!"
Then we have a quote from Aquamarine:
"That's the problem with you fusions. Sooner or later, you will become sentimental."
Steven Universe Fear here we are.
