They’re just... so perfect?????? This whole sequence is perfect. The music and the background and the way they stumble around like a baby deer and the dramatic I’M A FUSION and this is absolutely what Steven and Connie should be like together HOW IS THIS SO PERFECT.
Look who’s being all close and cuddly over here.
CUTE AS HECK.
And so different from the Gem’s, which was basically a Simon Says exercise. Here Steven’s taking the lead and he’s pulling some of Garnet’s moves from her dance with Pearl to try and impress Connie, but there’s no polish whatsoever. There’s hunched shoulders, uncertainty, impulsive flailing... It’s two kids staring at their feet, fumbling around, discovering some chill grooves and having a whale of a time.
OR OKAY WOW I HI
MAKE SURE YOU’RE A GOOD EXPERIENCE
I think we need to go deeper on this one. For the characterisation. Very important stuff here.
The linked fingers. The stiff little chasse back and forth. But they’re not staring at the ‘window’ you’re supposed to look at when you dance in a closed position. They stare directly into each other’s eyes. That’s intense. Pearl’s cute smile at Steven when she gets twirled. Garnet jutting her chin up ever so slightly. Garnet initially holding her arms way too high so Pearl has to extend into her space. Then Garnet leaning in with her fingers spread over Pearl’s back and Pearl’s arch and the way she dips as Garnet pushes her one step further back than expected...... The connection that comes from well toned arms... Pearl poised to respond because you can’t lead a limp partner....... the... subtle... connection of the hips....
And then the hands on her chest and the leg around her godamnn waist and Pearl just being tossed around like a salad and yet still manages to press her calf right against Garnet’s centre and JUST FUCKING THROWS HERSELF BACKL AGAINST THE WALL WITH THAT EXPRESSION I CANNOT
So I think what this is telling us is that a very healthy connection is flourishing between these gals. I do see, Pearl, yes.
WELL HELLO. Look who’s all pink and blue and meeting on this INCREDIBLY PURPLE BEACH.
