“Beats me!”

Launch herself into the sky, and Yeet herself around all day. Probably create a maze in the temple to test the others in.

Y E S . She would LOVE science fiction. Though, when comparing Star Wars to Star Trek, she’d pick ST because of the characters, the humor, and the episodic nature (I prefer SW tho). However, her favorite genres are regular ol’ PG cartoons, for a multitude of reasons. Just goofy little stories with colorful characters and easy plots! She would probably love Crying Breakfast Friends and irl shows like MLP, Scooby Doo, Clifford, really any PBS Kids show. She would want to watch those shows with Steven all the time, which could create conflict as Steven “I’m a Big Boi Now” Universe would probably move interests up in maturity.

Her guilty pleasure are the shows that make you point at the screen and go “I found it! It’s right there in the tree!” Those always feel like an interactive game :0

But she’d adore modern Pixar and reniassance Disney, too, and Dreamwork’s good movies. Though she’d be more hesitant with those thank other stuff because of how emotional they can get. She watches cartoons to LAUGH gosh darn it! Which is why I don’t see her liking live-action stuff unless it’s a sitcom or sci-fi.

She WILL NOT TOUCH horror. I headcanon that she and Steven hang out a lot together in S1, so in the ep where they go to the lighthouse to watch scary movies, Lars is really weirded out that Spinel isn’t with him. “Where’s your weird... stretchy... person?” “Oh, she’s at home hiding under my bed.” “Why?” “She hates scary movies.” “But she’s not- nvm its whatever.” Then Sadie walks out and ep resumes as normal.

Speaking of, I think she’d have a love-hate relationship with Marvel movies, mostly because of how deep the story runs. She would adore Guardians (but not the second- the climax was a wee bit too sp00k), and all the Spider-Man movies are great (modern), and the others are fun to watch, but the drama, man. Can’t we just watch more Yogi Bear or something?

And of course she’d always have a sweet spot for old silent films, or as I liked to call them when I was little (and I’m going to have baby Steeb refer to them like this as well bc why not), “grey movies.” Y’know. Black and white.

Spinel is not a big reader, unless she’s being read to or reading aloud to someone else. If either of those two circumstances apply, then she would like sci-fi and action/adventure, since comedy is a bit harder to find. She likes reading plays, too, and those tend to be funnier that novels!

Fun fact: all the gems can understand and fluently speak Shakespearean, meaning you could walk in on Spinel reading a Shakespeare comedy from WAY BACK WHEN and she’ll be laughing along. There would be 5 minutes where Steven would ask her to teach him, but he quickly discovers how complicated Ye Olde Linguistics actually is and drops it like immediately.

Pearl would hear about this later and also attempt to teach him, but he’s long since lost interest and would take the first opportunity he could find to just gET OUT OF THERE-

Would Spinel read through “Unfamiliar Familiar”? Possibly. Again, it depends on if there is another individual in the room who also likes the books and would either read to her, or be read to.
