St. Elmo's Fire on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsThat terrible desire to please your parents/”parents” and do what they say even as it breaks you is uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh pretty personal. I get this, but…
Keleri on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsI really feel and respect the disappointment here because "A common soldier becoming a general who struck down an untouchable queen is the perfect apo…
St. Elmo's Fire on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsExcept it didn’t start out as a story about caste rebellion. It started out as a story about a human-magical being hybrid trying to fill the shoes of…
illhousen on Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems“RQ = PD wasn’t planned” is giving the show the benefit of a doubt and assuming the writers just burned out and didn’t notice…
Hyatt on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsYou talk about RQ=PD wasn't planned, but why? I'm pretty sure it was planned from the beginning. There's symbolic foreshadowing starting from the firs…

The Reeds of Enki on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsGotcha. Let me know when the ending stuff is up so I can post there.
The Reeds of Enki on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsSorry if I was being too vague there. I think that certain plot points were way too cool and way too complex to have been handled effectively in the s…
Septentrion on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsYeah, more could be written on Steven's character alone. He was never supposed to change, just get new powers. One the other hand, the show seems like…
St. Elmo's Fire on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsNew. It's here if you're interested. It's gotten about five times as many hits and comments as my fic because SU fandom is dead ;_;
Nerem on Steven Universe and the Crystal GemsI wonder if CN had been on the fence with renewing SU for a while and it spooked the writers. Or just the general... poor scheduling CN has gone with…
