Steven Universe is a really, really wonderful show.

Haven’t updated in a while! This is largely because my computer zonked out and I had to get it fixed, which took ages! Which means my SU picture’s been taking a little while longer than I thought it would. Here’s Pearl looking longingly at some photoshop toolbars
^ he told me to watch Steven Universe, it’s his fault.
You know what a great episode would be?
Steven gets hurt (not too badly, only a broken arm or something like that) and gets sucked into his gem to recover, because that’s what gems do when their form is badly damaged.
Inside, he gets to meet what remains of his mother for the first time, gets to hear her tell him she loves him face to face, without a screen between them. Gets to feel what his mother’s hug is actually like.
But when it’s time for him to return to the outside world. Something goes wrong. Very, very wrong, and instead of Steven appearing out of the gem, like everyone expects, it’s Rose Quarts.
And Rose flips her shit, because somehow she’s alive and Steven is nowhere to be found, and they have to do something, anything, to get him back out of the gem.
They succeed, but not until after all the gems-who already seem to blame Steven for Rose not being around- are forced to take a long look at themselves and make the choice: Help Rose and Greg get Steven back and lose her again forever, or refuse, keep Rose alive, and deal with the fact that they, by making this choice, are the reason why Steven will never get to live.
Yeah, that sounds like a good episode.
This sounds like a movie
Oh god. Oh god, just seeing this makes it so much more painful. Thank you so much for the art. Thank you so, so much.
