"Why does nobody love Spinel?" meme by me.

I can tell you why, Spinel. You planned on committing mass genocide! And for what? Pink abandoning you? That's still inexcusable!

I know everyone likes Spinel, but I couldn’t stand her

She was so annoying no wonder Pink left her ass in the Garden lbr Spinel was mindlessly created to entartain/distract Pink and probably wasn’t a True friend in the Human sense of it and also Pink left her before knowing you could change what you were built for...

I mean I would have sent her back to Homeworld or to her manufacturer or whatever so Pink was still pretty shitty (as Pink always is lol) but Spinel was annoying AF

I don’t like her design, when she’s evil she’s just an ugly mess and when she was newformed she was even more ugly if possible. Also her “happily ever after” is with Diamonds with a warped sense of “love” that want to “adore her” and she just would do anything for someone who loves her which is the perfect recipe for unhealthy codependency UGH what a mess

Unpopular opinion!!! Uhm. Pink...Pink Diamond doesn't deserve ALL the hate she gets. Hear me out.

SPOILERS FOR SU FUTURE

Keep in mind that when we see Pink Diamond we see her development backwards. what we see is something that we saw was good that turned bad but when reality it was something bad that turned good. Just listen. So, going as far back as the show has let us know, which is about I don't know maybe like 10000 years before the invasion of Earth to smth? Idk. Pink diamond had Pink Pearl AKA Volleyball, and was a very destructive and annoying gem. she literally hit Volleyball with such a strong physical attack that she couldn't heal it at The Reef. for unknown reasons, probably shortly after, Volleyball was taken away from Pink. She was most likely quickly gifted OUR Pearl. she was still very needy but it looks like she had learned that she couldn't lash out as much as she did although it backfired and she kept everything hidden. she complained and whined abt a colony until she finally got one and when she got it, she wasn't satisfied. She decided to go on Earth and figure out what life was like. when she saw what life was he decide that she was going to protect it because no one else had protected her life- emotionally. from what we've seen the diamonds can be very neglectful and I have a feeling that pink have been left alone in a tower for god-knows-how-long many many times. that kind of powerful neglect can cause someone to change and warp into a horrible person but when she realized what she'd become she decide to change for the better. this still doesn't make up for everything she's done wrong leaving spinel hurting pink pearl lying to Diamonds and everyone who know her and loved her- but it does give reason. she did not just hurt people because she wanted to she hurt people because she was hurting and although it's not write it really does show you why she did the things she did. Again I cannot emphasize enough but what she did was wrong but there was reason. Once on Earth took a stand against her own family and flat for the gems that wanted freedom. As much as she hated the diamonds I'm pretty sure but she still loved them, there's no way she couldn't have. she gave up her own happiness and freedom but she also gave up Pearl's happiness and freedom which is also another reason people hate her which I understand. One thing that I do think she deserves hate for this is just my opinion I'm sure, is that she should not have given up her form. electric great things obviously that's how it always will be when a child is born but to put all that on to an unsuspecting young child is something that he shouldn't have had to deal with. Stevens maturity levels rise around the time he is 14 and that's insane that he has the mentality of an adult when he was only a child. honestly this whole thing might be a little confusing and I'm tired but I hope it gives some insight on why do I think Pink Diamond doesn't deserve all the hate she gets.

WARNING, SU SPOILERS IN THE POST

Ok now that the SU fans are gone, we can speak our mind. SU took several times more hiatus’s than they’ve made episodes. The entire show was ruined for most just by that fact, and the insane amount of haitus’s is because the show’s true potential was wasted on the first few seasons. Ya know, when the characters’ sizes were consistent and there weren’t like three quadrillion plot holes in every episode. So I’m going to sugarcoat how how I feel about Steven Universe the most I possibly can, Steven Universe is the TV equivalent of Florida, it is a lawless swampy wasteland, filled with ships that will die a horribly painful death, and the ones who remember it will remember it as the biggest mistake in the world

[catquartzuniverse]

At what point did Steven Universe actually start to go wrong?

I know a lot of people are pointing at season 4, as much as we also acknowledge the show’s problems existing even back in season 1, but I personally feel that there was a real, specific turning point, or rather a point of no return for the wellbeing of the series, myself.

For me, the point of no return was the Sardonyx arc. Oh my god, I absolutely hate this arc. I’ve had problems with SU from the start, albeit they are problems I kept quiet about overall because at that point in time, SU stans were so adamant that the show was an absolute Blessing that they would legitimately fight you over having a different opinion. Plus, wanting to be a good ally to minorities, who was I to argue with them about their faves? I’m bringing the first season up here because while I still immensely enjoyed the series at that time, the major problems I had with it existed even there, and PROMINENTLY, and they really come to blossom in the Sardonyx arc.

Problem #1: Pearl. Problematic Pearl. Goddamn the stuff that the writers somehow believed she should be able to get away with. Her abusive treatment of Amethyst and Steven and the apologism for it was pretty disturbing all throughout the first season, Rose’s Scabbard in particular. But the Sardonyx arc is where I finally gave up hope on her. It was so refershing to actually have a character, Garnet especially (whom I refuse to stop stanning cuz she is the greatest~), not only call Pearl out, but not excuse her shit. And yet what do the writers have Pearl do? Cry, play victim, make it all about herself again, and the conflict is resolved and forgiveness blooms over time and the arc is over. Fuck that shit. Finally I thought someone would snap Pearl out of her writers’ curse and open her up to development but- no. And that was the moment I was done with her.

Problem 2: Amethyst getting the shaft. Amethyst has good development here and there but she is never utilized or spotlighted the way, say, Pearl is. She is never given plot-effective character development. It always stands on it’s own. And this arc? God I realized she probably never would. They set up the potential for her to have a real voice in this arc but she ultimately doesn’t because her feelings and actions do not truly affect the outcome of the main conflict. Her sadness over it all is inconsequential. Her plot with Vidalia never even comes up again. She turns Pearl over to Garnet at the hub when she and Steven tell Garnet what happened, (or Steven rather, yeah she didn’t even get to do that). I’m glad she didn’t stoop to season 1 Pearl’s level of pettiness by directly putting Pearl in a place of blame, but what Pearl did was- awful on so many levels and Amethyst just sort of gets strung along through the plot. As she always does. Even her arc involving Jasper has yet to even come up again! Amethyst will always get the shaft and this arc made that clear and I knew I would no longer be hopeful for her anymore.

Problem 3: This entire arc is filler. People complain about the Townie episodes but I don’t know why more people didn’t complain about this. This was a complete filler plot to delay our introduction to Peridot as a new CG candidate, with the crew even admitting they had several episode orders to fill and so delayed various developments. Did we really need to see example #53 of Pearl not caring about other people’s feelings or safety if it means making herself feel valid for a minute? No. Did we need this inconsequential, abruptly resolved internal conflict between the CG’s that meant nothing later? No. The only real thing we got out of this was foreshadowing to Garnet’s feelings of betrayal over Rose being Pink Diamond all along and even then... did we really need it? Couldn’t she just feel betrayed by Rose without this arc underscoring it?

Problem 4: Sardonyx is rude. SU has this tendency to make characters so rude and hurtful and toxic and abusive all the time, excusing them and forgiving them for it right afterwards and I’m just sick of it. Sardonyx isn’t even toxic per se! She’s just rude in such an unnecessary way and she hurts Amethyst over it constantly and I just felt so exhausted by it because I thought why oh why does this brand new character have to challenge me right out of the gate? Why is yet another character in SU a rude hurtful person the second she premieres? Why did I get excited for this reveal only to be sad about it because she makes Amethyst feel like shit and does so yet again when she meets Smoky? Another moment that bothers me because it just reminds me that Garnet and Pearl resolved their struggle in a snap, yet again, even a season later.

Problem 5: Going back to problematic pearl, the rapey undertones of this episode are undeniably there. Sorry, but you can’t constantly make fusion a sex metaphor and then back out and claim they aren’t related concepts whenever it’s convenient for you, crewniverse. Even in this very episode! You cannot have Garnet and Pearl dance so sensually and then fuse based on Pearl’s manipulation, and act like I’m the gross pervert for finding it rapey and upsetting. And then Garnet just has to forgive her for it cuz she cries and calls herself nothing??? This kinda shit happens so much in the series that I absolutely could not take it anymore. “It’s over, isn’t it?” I said to my television screen during the credits, before Mr. Greg even aired lol. My excitement for su was over.

That’s where it all went beyond repair for me. That’s when it was all clear that this series was never gonna get any better about these issues than it currently was. That’s when I realized I needed to stop putting my faith in it and just watch without investing too much in it emotionally anymore. Cuz I realized I was just going to be disappointed every single time. At that point so late in the series run, they should’ve been getting better, yet they indulged in their ugliness instead. It’s over, isn’t it, SU? Isn’t it? Isn’t it over?

So the original OP of this comic included the f slur and is refusing to apologize about it. So, I fixed it and have claimed this comic as my own. This is mine now.

Excuse my poor handwriting, I had to use my laptop’s track-pad and my non-dominate hand for this.

Edit: the OP is love-flavored-lilipop, and until they apologize and fix their comic. I ain't taking it down. Or until someone makes a new comic with the same message.
