With Raisins Girl, Raisins Girl bleeding

I wonder if its gonna be like throughout the episode we know hes gonna propose or if he drops the bomb when he actually does it. Is it going to be a buildup plan or like a panicked last resort?

"Connie has a very clear vision of her future and Steven wants to make sure he's a part of it."

Rewatched Bismuth Casual to get some info. Connie seems to have been busy and might be on some sort of break from Cram School (or maybe a weekend off for hangouts). Being we haven't seen her since episode one's cameo showing her studying, she seems to have been busy a lot and very absent from Steven's life.

"When Connie and I were fighting to save the universe things were sort of easier. We were fighting the same fight, now it's like we're living different lives. I wonder if I am even her best friend anymore."

Hes been feeling like this for a couple months.

"Connie I'm sorry...I dont want to hold you back."

"I don't mind."

"You've got cram school, new friends, you're going places and I'm happy for you, but I feel like you're drifting away from me. I wish we could reconnect but...I DONT KNOW HOW TO SKATE."

"Skating is what you're worried about?"

This convo makes me feel Connie doesn't fully grasp what's going on with Steven. She's confused and misled into thinking he's just talking about skating in general. She does not realise Steven's issue I don't think.

And everyone who's heard the audio leak might have came to the same conclusion that the Stevonnie fusing in this episode might also have jumpstarted the idea of Steven wanting to be a permafusion. Stevonnie helped him connect with Connie again. Stevonnie solved a problem. For a moment he wasn't alone.

Plus the scene from the promo of seeing Ruby and Sapphire and whatever convo they have after unfusing. A recipe for disaster for sure.

Also a thing I noticed:

"I know you might think I'm being sentimental but this makes sense!"

Then we have a quote from Aquamarine:

"That's the problem with you fusions. Sooner or later, you will become sentimental."

Basically, I've had this weird hard mass/lump in my upper left jaw for the past two years. It feels like part of the bone has gone wonky or something, and it appeared pretty randomly. As it hasn't been causing me pain and I feel perfectly fine otherwise, I didn't do anything about it. I had one on the other side (though slightly smaller) a few years ago and that disappeared as randomly as it came. I assumed the same would happen and haven't really thought much of it.

Anyway, a month or so ago, I had to see a dentist about an unrelated dental issue - I had pain in a lower-left molar and it felt cracked. They reviewed, x-rayed, and filled the tooth, in a relatively painless procedure. Whilst there, however, they did their due diligence and raised concerns about the lump because they had no idea what it was, and couldn't rule out that it might be cancerous.

In an admirable display of thoroughness, they sent their xrays to the hospital and helped me as I dried my tears. You can't throw the C Word around with my family medical history and expect me not to panic, after all.

A couple of weeks later and I'm being poked and prodded by a specialist who looks at the xrays and listens to my anecodotal experience and thinks it's highly unlikely it's anything malicious (for a myriad of reasons) but doesn't know what it actually is.

He scheduled a CT scan and a biopsy and asks if, while I'm under local for the biopsy, I'd like them to remove a wisdom tooth that, according to the xray the dentist sent, is rotting under the gum line. The tooth didn't hurt and wasn't bothering me but if they think it may cause a problem later and I'll already be numb, they may as well take it out. In for a penny and all that...

Two weeks later, I was scanned in a process akin to sticking my head in a washing machine that takes literally 5 minutes. A week after that (this past Tuesday), and I was lying in a dentist chair, jabbed with about 5 or 6 doses of something that left my face numb for nearly three hours, and am now minus a tooth and part of whatever the mass in my face is. I was stitched up, given a prescription of antibiotics and told to salt water rinse my mouth 3-4 times a day.

I was also told that the tooth they removed wasn't a wisdom tooth but a supernumerary tooth of another kind, likely a canine. I just assumed the tooth hadn't come through properly and that's why it was rotting but no. In a bizarre and rare twist of inherited genetics, my mouth decided to grow a random tooth where it shouldn't be. My mystery mouth continues to baffle maxillo-facial specialists across the county.

Test results will be mailed to me but I likely won't hear about that for a while. My face is swollen to buggery (but it's going down!) and the stitches, while dissolvable, are a little irritating.

Basically waiting for the next phase which depends on the results of the biopsy. Whatever it throws up, I'll likely be needing a certain level of facial surgery but results will determine how they go about it.
