I just finished the Steven Universe Movie and it left me.....a mess honestly. I loved it. All of it. It was an amazing movie with great songs, obviously amazing characters, and I LOVE Spinel. This movie has so many wonderful messages, of truth, of love, being yourself, overcoming your hardships, never forgetting where you came from and how you got there. Being open to change. Second chances. All sorts of positive things.
But there were things I wasnt too keen on. Spinel and the Diamonds...their relationship doesnt seem wholly...healthy... and that kinda hurt. You dont get over trauma like that. And it got me thinking if I'm really over my own traumas. Am I even trying? Or maybe I am and I'm doing ok? Stronger now than ever because of it all?
Better yet... is it everything? All the emotions. From what I said above to everything that happened in the movie. To excitement of something new, the songs, the dead of the not knowing what will happen to the gems, to the fucking glee and shock of Steven and Greg fusing, hell that whole scene, to Spinel's story, her wanting to help, but stumbling along the way, Steven's tenacity and never give up nature, and his ability to see the good in others and give them a second or third chance. The reflections it left me to ponder...
