Huge apologies for the length of this post - I’ve been needing to clear out my ask box for a long, LONG time now. 

Oh my bad - noted. Thank you!

I thought this was the case; thanks for clarifying! I guess it all works out - Log Date worked fine as a finale, and Super Watermelon Island was certainly a great way to start off a season! I’m honestly surprised SWI was intented as a midseason episode.

I know this came through months ago (wow - I moved back in August, what the hell have I been doing?!) but honestly it’s always timely, right? D:

Anyway, thank you! Hearing that you guys still enjoy it really does give me the motivation to continue, despite what it may seem!

It’s both the general “birdiness” as well as the swooping - mostly, though, it’s the talons and the beaks. 

Penguins, though, don’t bother me much at all. I’d probably be a little apprehensive about approaching or being around a penguin, but I’d be much more willing to hang with a penguin than I would, say, a pigeon. They’re way cuter, plus they can’t fly at me, and if they try to peck my eyes out I think I could dropkick one pretty easily. 

I’m pretty sure this is referring to the watermelons from SWI, in which Steven kind of literally is their god; he’s basically their divine creator, right? 

Your eloquent description of Jasper and Lapis’s dynamic and relationship as Malachite is right on the money honestly

I still can’t believe they did my girl dirty like that

I did see the comic (or video?) sometime shortly after watching the episode...and also, I’m actually doing a playthrough of Undertale right now! I’ll link the playlist below so you can watch it, if you like - warning, though: I’m not great at commentary, banter, or comedy. There’s also some audio mixing issues in the first few episodes; it gets addressed later on. I’m also kind of terrible at the game apparently. AND you’ll have to put up with my voice which is...unpleasant, but it’s here if you want to put something on in the background! We are NOT professionals, sorry. I mean seriously I was eating ice cream while playing, not considerate AT ALL

Thank you! I think I’ve taken wayyy more than enough time though, haha!

You guys are way too kind, giving me WAY too much leeway when it comes to taking so much time away from the blog. 

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to put BoJack on the back burner for a while. I can barely keep up with SU right now, so adding BoJack to the mix would be a poor choice, I think.  

Besides I caved a while back and watched the new season anyway sooo BUT if you ever want to talk BoJack with me, feel free to message me or shoot me up on Discord! I’m always down for some sad horse talk

(Sad horse talk you say - but isn’t that just you, Pony?)

I can’t say that for certain - I’ve never been able to stick to a consistent schedule, unfortunately. I’m trying out the every Friday thing, but that doesn’t even necessarily guarantee a full episode every week - it’s what I’m aiming for, but it’s not a guarantee. The liveblog has to take a back seat to more pressing things, namely work and school. 

I won’t lie and tell you a Patreon would guarantee anything, but it would DEFINITELY be more incentive to stay as consistent as possible. 

It is! I’m sorry guys - I’m doing okay, just caught up with school and work and laziness!

AND IT AIN’T CHANGING ANY TIME SOON

I’m sort of like a legend - no one has really seen me

I AM HERE! Sorry D:

I am! Seriously guys, I’m sorry! I hope you’re okay, too!

Sorry for the anxiety! I’m still kickin’, still bloggin’. I’ll absolutely give a heads-up if I decide to ditch the blog; I wouldn’t leave you guys hanging like that!

Thank you! I’m still very much excited to be watching. We’re keeping it to tumblr for now, but I’ll let you guys know if I decide to move.

I mean, it was a little raunchy. 

Yeah, it definitely fits in with the vibe of the show - I just hope it’s not all. I’d be surprised if it was, but I’d also be understanding if that’s just...it. 

I did consider it, but for now I’m thinking I’ll stick to tumblr. Seems to still be holding on okay? Maybe? D:

Thank you! At least now I know it’s an option!

Outwardly the Cluster is kind of beautiful in a haunting way. But then when you begin to think about what goes into it, I just want to crawl into a hole and cry. 

Awww, no! You guys are the best and deserve all the happiness! <3

I think Raven is my fav, or at least one of, just because I super appreciate how expressive and out there her boards are, BUT aesthetically speaking Zuke is tippy top. The way they draws Amethyst is just... 😫👌

Opal is best...Opal. 

I do appreciate having this wind down, but I think Jailbreak still holds a very special place as a finale. From what I understand, either Log Date was actually meant to be the season 3 premiere, or Full Disclosure was meant to be the actual season 1 finale, I can’t recall (or maybe I’m totally wrong); either way, I don’t know that we’ll get a season finale to top Jailbreak, really. Jailbreak is not my favorite episode, but damn if it wasn’t a near perfect episode.

Edit: Oh! Karaoke...no. No, let’s not do that. Well, actually, I’m happy to doing a karaoke night - but I am not singing, no way, no how.

Don’t worry, my Discord has me covered

What awful people...

No, please! Feel free to dump all the text! It has been a while - how ya been? How are the kids? How’s the wife? The dog? Finally get that promotion? 

But in all seriousness, I’m never busy, let’s be real. 

[ponyforyou]

Glad you’re enjoying the blog! And thank you! I don’t know that my points are always...on point, but I try. 

You KNOW Greg is always down to rock

I swear to god I don’t ship, I swear to god I don’t ship, I SWEAR

but Amedot though

Oh absolutely, Amethyst usually isn’t innocent. Maybe it’s just me making excuses for Amethyst, but I feel like there’s a difference. I don’t know what the difference is, or that one actually exists, but it feels different. Maybe not. 

I saw it as Amethyst making playful jabs at Peridot, but that’s what Peridot thought she was doing, too. Difference is, the teasing didn’t hurt Peridot, but it did Amethyst. But Peridot couldn’t have known that, nor could Amethyst have known that was she was doing wouldn’t hurt Peri. But when Amethyst was upset, very visibly upset, Peridot just dug in further. Again, Peridot doesn’t have the social tact to understand not to keep going, but still. 

I don’t know. It’s a hard one to work out, I guess.

I think it might turn out to be one of mine, too!

Her hair is pretty hot.

That is far too accurate of a short description of this episode.

Welp...I should have answered this before Back to the Barn, eh? 

No, please fan out all you like! That scene is incredible, and I’ve watched the episode a few times over just for it!

A very worthy episode to claim favorite, if only for the first few minutes!

Now I’ve just got that Imagine Dragons song stuck in my head...

Is there really much difference? 

But to actually answer your question, 100 duck-sized Peridots. You know those gifs of people being swarmed with puppies? Yeah. That’s how I want to go.

[ponyforyou]

Oh that’s pretty good, stop censoring my babe RUSSIA

Well heh, ya know, when you only liveblog once every 29 weeks, it’s hard not to catch it...

I definitely need to give mobile a glance, I totally forgot about it D: 

I understand what you mean, and I agree - Steven, more than anything, is understanding and empathetic; we’ve seen that countless times before. And while he obviously understands Peridot’s position - being stuck on an unfamiliar planet with (now former) enemies and the knowledge of impending doom - when he sees her, as he perceives, throwing all the care and love and camaraderie that they’ve built up together to the curb just to save her butt, of course he feels betrayed. Because now it seems that she’s being selfish, willing to sell out Steven and the Gems just to get safe passage home. I’d be pissed too.

So apparently someone told me that Raven no longer boards and ?!?!?

RAVEN YOU ARE MY SPIRIT ANIMAL WHY HAS THIS BECOME

Honestly the range of voice talent is insane for this show. From Aimee Mann and Nicki Minaj to Sinbad to a Broadway powerhouse like Patti Lupone and even Alexia Khadime, not to mention Estelle, it’s ridiculous. And everyone does such a fantastic job, as well! I just hope that, knowing now that Patti is a Broadway star, we get a song out of her at some point!

Patti is a party and the Patti party don’t stop

But yes, just absolute contempt and totally dismissive and disgust, not exactly what I expected going on but so good

KEEP IT COMIN’ ANON I LOVE U

Ay that’s a pretty good top 5, if only that ICHBG has a fantastic song (not to mention Peridot singing!) and Message Recieved has Yellow frickin Diamond

So I guess this is confirmation that my dreams are, in fact, not coming true.

Yo anon I don’t know who you are and why you’ve said this to me but 

damn :(
