People gonna be nasty about this when it's clearly just a reference to how certain cartoon characters randomly kiss others to distract them, annoy them, show affection in their own weird way or just do it for the lulz.

Watching spinel's past😭:
I suddenly remembered😲:
I got to see Rebecca Sugar speak at Barnes & Noble yesterday!
I recorded her entire Q&A session and will be posting it in a reblog - but here’s the highlights:
- She does get nervous during pitch meetings still, but she’s doing pitches on behalf of the characters so she can protect them and continue their story. Pitching the movie was hard, but she loves Spinel and wanted to pitch her accurately.
- She learned guitar 2 years ago specifically due to the movie! She couldn’t play songs that she’d composed until she learned it. (She sang “Drift Away” and played it on guitar for us at the event!)
- It isn’t true that she was willing to quit Cartoon Network if she didn’t get the Ruby/Sapphire wedding - she would never quit the show like that. They get a lot of international funding but often from very conservative countries who were sending notes to remove the wedding. The threat of them pulling funding and the show having to be cancelled was there, but she chose that risk over continuing the show without the wedding - “chose to tell the truth”.
- She stays true to her vision and plans for the series with a bunch of charts, which will be in an ARTBOOK in the future about the arc up through Change Your Mind and including Steven Universe Future! And it will have some charts!!
- It didn’t take Spinel long at all to get to Steven - there’s ships that travel across galaxies in the blink of an eye. The only reason Spinel stayed was because she didn’t know what had happened. Once she knew, she had no reason to stay and immediately left.
- Gems are technology - they are made. There are no gems that occur “naturally”.
- Even if there’s no more TV show, she is not done with the Steven Universe characters!
- Inspiration for Spinel was rubber-hose cartoons like Betty Boop, but also a stuffed rabbit she’d left in a garden as a kid and found later. Because of what Pink did, Spinel didn’t get to grow or evolve from the old cartoon styles.
- What are the Rose Quartz gems and Zoomans up to? “Please watch Steven Universe Future!”
- The crew expected fans to be upset at what Pink Diamond did to Spinel. “This is a thing she does.” They’re happy that people can see her through this lens.
- What’s White Diamond’s Pink Pearl up to? “Please watch Steven Universe Future!”
- What’s the most important lesson in Steven Universe? “Marginalized children exist, they deserve to exist, and they deserve to express themselves. They deserve to experience funny and wonderful cartoons, to make funny and wonderful cartoons. They deserve to be kids.”
…the highlights I just wrote turned out to be most of her Q&A I guess but I will post the audio and full transcript soon if people want!
So I can’t upload audio to a reblog apparently???
Here’s a link to the full audio on vocaroo! -> [link] I am in the middle of writing the full transcript!
@libralthinking, your question about your 9 year old starts at 7m and 38s!
CONFIRMATION that White Diamond isn’t “actually” White!
