Get ready frenz
Steven Universe returns November 10th on the CN App!
Next Steven Bomb is January 30th. Brace yourselves, it’s a good one.
Part of my work this week was to track all of the theme music from Gem Glow to Steven vs. Amethyst.
Along with the 2 main themes and 3 title card themes, I found 18 different iterations of the ending music.
8 variations of the end theme have no lyrics.
6 variations are part of "Love Like You”.
1 unique theme for episodes that are a part of “The Barn Arc”
3 variations of a Static ending that are used for “The Message”, “Political Power”. and “The Return”
*MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW*
Steven Universe is often praised for diversity, but what keeps me watching is how healthy relationships are conveyed. I have been in a relationship for nearly 9 years, 3 of which I’ve been married. I’m in that type of marriage where I’m often told “I could never imagine you two fighting.”
A relationship like mine is usually conveyed as an ending point, the “happily ever after.” After a struggle of imbalance and conflict, we will eventually work out and ride off into the sunset. However, the crew of Steven Universe recognizes that that is bs.
Mindful Education gave us a peak into Garnet’s mind, the most stable relationship of all. We see that she herself sometimes struggles to exist. We see how Ruby’s one track mind and Sapphire’s anxiety cause distance in their relationship, how the thoughts fluttering through their minds are constantly telling them that they might lose each other. The only way they are able to gain control of their fusion is to accept their thoughts and move on.
Anyone who’s been in a long term relationship can tell you how easy it is to let your thoughts get out of control. It causes Connie to ignore Steven’s attempts to make her laugh, it causes Steven to self loathe. These are real problems that happen all the time and they cause a lot of stress on otherwise healthy relationships.
Watching this episode was one of those moments where I said to myself “FUCKING FINALLY.” Whenever I see relationship problems in anything, the go-to is usually cheating or the “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus” trope. Mainstream culture is rarely interested in the complexity and subtleties of long term relationships. I’m happy that a show exists that can beautifully portray all of that using butterflies, beautiful animation, a catchy song, all in 11 minutes. Thank you Crewniverse for bringing the beauty of Mindful Education into this world ~ Your Post Production PA.
Tonight.
Rebecca Sugar killing it at the Steven Universe panel yesterday.
Just got back from San Diego Comic-Con International. The SU panel was one of the best I’ve ever seen. They had us laughing, crying, and everything in between. Anyways, just a pic I managed to get from the second row while Rebecca sang “Love Like You.”
A musical episode of Steven Universe. Stoked you guys are finally going to see this!
Did you really help work on Super Watermelon Island?? WHO ARE YOU
I’m the music/post production assistant at Cartoon Network. The work I did was when the episode was already locked and finalized, but I recorded all the music cues from the episode and submitted them to the network. Basically I make sure everyone gets paid for the music they do on all shows at Cartoon Network :)
Super Watermelon Island was the first Steven Universe episode to air that I worked on (I did the music cue sheets for it). ^_^
Today is my last day keeping this blog, but don’t be sad! I am closing it for a positive reason. As of April 25th, I’m proud to say I will actually be working at Cartoon Network. I’ll be a music/post PA, working on several shows. One of the shows I’ll probably be working on is... you guessed it...
...
Needless to say, I will know too many spoilers so I will no longer be updating this blog. I’ve changed my handle to stevenuniverseparallelsarchive so my original name will be up for grabs.
If you’d like to follow me anywhere else, my twitter handle is @therissev and my personal tumblr is @tv-ma.
Thank you again everyone!
“I wanna be there for Steven, to fight by his side! The Earth is my home too, can’t I help protect it?”
It was an accident, I swear!
During Catch and Release, while Peridot was trying to run from the Crystal Gems in the temple, she runs into Amethyst before freaking out and falling on her face. It just strikes me that while Peridot was getting chased and runs into Amethyst at the very top of the stairs, Amethyst looks extremely attractive (and suggestive) in this scene
and it’s all in Peridot’s perspective.
This most likely doesn’t mean anything, but I just found it interesting.
I think it speaks volumes.
A REVELATION
