hmm. i’m rewatching steven universe from the beginning. i know the show has it’s issues, god knows i don’t need to tell anyone that. there’s enough posts and discussions on it. it’s painful to think about, knowing this show’s bigger flaws and past issues with it’s crew. talking about it’s major flaws is always worth discussing but i can’t add to the discussion and it’ll just wear me down so i’d rather not at all. sorry to be blunt, thank you for understanding.
that said, i’ve watched it from the very start, back when i was in high school and knowing in just a month it’ll be over is.... really weird. i remember having my big first gay crush on both pearl and rose back in high school, it really felt like a gay awakening alkjdsflasdf GOD i crushed hard on rose so bad.
and i know its not a perfect analogy but i feel like i grew up alongside steven. god i was like, 17? 16? when the show first aired? its been forever. this show has meant so much to me for so many reasons, i’m sure anyone can see it’s influence on my art and writing.
i just watched “Winter Forecast” which legitimately feels like a perfect episode. god, i really love this show and its really both nostalgic and bittersweet to watch it again, imperfections and all. (if every pork chop were perfect-) the show really hits differently as a full adult and knowing how SU:F goes too. i don’t even really know how to properly describe what i’m feeling, its just like. a lot. idk. i’m going to miss this show. god, i really am. with all the long hiatuses i don’t think its ever going to feel like its gone, i’ll always feel like theres gonna be a new episode down the corner but i know there won’t be.
