SUF Jasper

inb4 that shot in the promo where steven has his hand in his jacket was him hiding jasper's gem

Or his corrupting hand because they fused

Steven isn't a fusion, what you saw was the hard light portion of his body that comes from his gem.

>Steven isn't a fusion
He literally fucking fused right in front of White Diamond.

Two halves combined back into one, but Ruby and Sapphire make a Garnet not a complete version of each other.

Jasperbowl has been confirmed since Little Homeschool. I am so hype for Fragments though, it's guaranteed to be an emotional one.

Not really tho, because he's just Steven. He wasn't any different when he defused and he was the same when he refused. He's a unique type of fusion.

Its interesting, Fusions are sometimes a perfect blend, but sometimes distinct parts. For example Garnet has one red, one blue, and the mixed purple eye. Rhodonite has Pearl and Ruby arms, with the Pearl arms still under control enough of the Pearl to hold the Ruby ones when she was panicking. Malachite wasn’t a single kind, it was more a single body that two minds fought for singular control over.

Externally Steven seems to be perfectly blended, but internally there seems to be a chunk of his anatomy that is Gem which is why he begins to die without it. I’d be curious what an ultrasound would reveal.

Still odd his Gem half only knew anger. I’m not sure what it means for his mind, the Gem half may just be far worse at dealing with stress.

You gotta admit that her not appearing in the last 13 episodes must have had you nervous that she was going to be relegated again. I know it did me.

Not them but I was pretty nervous, I still am because I feel like things are gonna head south

The Gem half is his hidden emotion. Also it smiled when they fused again.

>Oh, hey again, Jasper.
>This is the fifth time you have pointlessly visited me since our fight. What do you want now?
How mad will you be if they have been metting offscreen?

Is there a trailer or just some screenshots?

I thought that was their minds blending when they started to Fuse. Stressed Steven seems to affect himself like a smaller Smokey where the two components belief in each other makes a happier and less angry whole.

If shes really so important the fact that she disappeared for 13 episodes is stupid. It's going to be jarring if she becomes important out of nowhere.

Steven never believed his gem was his own until CYM. He went through like thinking he was his mother, that he was not his own person. In a way, he isn't, but his gem is a Steven so they are the same, thus Steven is Steven with or without his gem.

Bismuth was out the show after 1 ep for 2 seasons and re-appeared in the end of S5 and didn't leave after that

what's with the Grass Barbs

Steghedges.

Fuck off tranny tripfag.
That picture looks like shit.

Bismuth was not important

She’s the moment Steven’s issues with his mother‘s negative legacy more than her positive one begins.

She returned to represent the formation of Steven’s Crystal Gems, the beginning of him shaking off his mother’s legacy and beginning his own path.

She built Little Homeworld, Steven’s legacy of success where Pink had failed.

She not only is Balletmom’s endgame, but helped him realize that even if his friends begin to drift away they aren’t gone forever, just until he reaches out for them.

She may have appeared late and stayed later, but she’s a huge part of the business Steven forging his own identity. Puns intended.

She’s also the first Gem to have known both him and Rose and believed he could surpass her

Left looks really suggestive...

The first of episode of SUF focuses on Jasper and Steven because they are the only characters who have not moved on from the past or made peace with themselves yet. Anyone who picked up on the fact that they are being set up as foils, and that everything Jasper told Steven was right, and that Steven had already promised to return to see Jasper again should have been able to see where Jasper and Steven's arcs were heading. This isn't coming out of nowhere, they are both going to be helping each other with the issues around losing their identities and feelings of worthlessness that they are currently struggling with.

>She’s the moment Steven’s issues with his mother‘s negative legacy more than her positive one begins.
so a tool for stevens development, poofed once her use was done
>She returned to represent the formation of Steven’s Crystal Gems, the beginning of him shaking off his mother’s legacy and beginning his own path.
No, she returned because Steven wanted everyone possible to be on the wedding. Steven having his own path is the point of all of SU, not the last arc.
>She built Little Homeworld, Steven’s legacy of success where Pink had failed.
She built it alongside a bunch of other gems, and if she never existed a bunch of Bismuths would have done it either way
>but helped him realize that even if his friends begin to drift away they aren’t gone forever, just until he reaches out for them.
It doesnt matter because Steven will freak out again in the next episodes like that message didnt matter. And if you want to be technical, Peridot did that first (and better)
>She may have appeared late and stayed later, but she’s a huge part of the business Steven forging his own identity.
No, shes not. You are a bismuth fanboy (probably that bismuth from tumblr who shares leaks) who think she is more important than she actually is. She is the least interesting gem from the main team, has the least interesting things after her premiere episode and by the way you describe it, shes more of a tool to someone else than an actual character
>She’s also the first Gem to have known both him and Rose and believed he could surpass her
That means nothing because that went nowhere and had no lasting impact in Steven, he still had mommy issues after that

>so a tool for stevens development, poofed once her use was done
Not really.
Demonstrating he was better than his mother was only for Bismuth’s benefit. Not his own.
>No, she returned because Steven wanted everyone possible to be on the wedding.
He risked his life because he thought Bismuth deserved it and Garnet would like it. Again, escaping his mother’s legacy was risking himself for the benefit of others, not doing so for his own ends.
>Steven having his own path is the point of all of SU, not the last arc.
First arcs were about getting his own identity. Last arc was escaping her legacy. Future is that now that he knows himself and has his freedom, where does he go from here.
> She built it alongside a bunch of other gems, and if she never existed a bunch of Bismuths would have done it either way
She seems to be the only one that survived the war. Or given she wasn’t created on Earth, may have been the only one to join the Crystal Gems and the rest just went to the next planet with Yellow like usual.
Plus, she seems to be the chief architect and the closest there is to a community leader.
> It doesnt matter because Steven will freak out again in the next episodes like that message didnt matter. And if you want to be technical, Peridot did that first (and better)
It’ll come into play in the finale. Sugar loves thematic reprises.
> No, shes not. You are a bismuth fanboy (probably that bismuth from tumblr who shares leaks) who think she is more important than she actually is.
I like them all. I feel like we should have gotten more of her since she would have actually talked about the war and showed the Rebellion itself in planning and rest, as well as showing the construction of the Temple and probably the first formation of Obsidian.
> That means nothing because that went nowhere and had no lasting impact in Steven, he still had mommy issues after that
Issues with her as a person. Not in thinking he couldn’t ever be better than her.

It did have an impact. It’s another focus of SUF, Steven wanting to do all he can so he’s not like her

>escaping his mother’s legacy was risking himself for the benefit of others, not doing so for his own ends.
Rose also risked herself for the sake of others. Also, Steven has been doing that all the show, so Bismuth isnt special.
>First arcs were about getting his own identity. Last arc was escaping her legacy.
Except he doesnt. The last arc is about how Steven was able to convince the other Diamonds to stop BECAUSE he was the son of Pink Diamond. His direct connection to Pink is what made them change their mind. If Steven was just a human, Yellow and Blue would not have listened. And White's revelation happened precisely because she was wrong about Stevens's connection with his mother. He even had a whole song about being "familiar" to her place.
>she seems to be the chief architect and the closest there is to a community leader.
Again, any other gem could have done that. If Bismuth never existed Steven could have just hired other gems to do her job. There's no sign of Little Homeworld that tells you it was her work.
>I feel like we should have gotten more of her since she would have actually talked about the war and showed the Rebellion itself in planning and rest, as well as showing the construction of the Temple and probably the first formation of Obsidian.
Then even you admit she has been wasted and agree to why I say she's the least interesting of them.
>Issues with her as a person. Not in thinking he couldn’t ever be better than her.
But the thing is, while her debut was a nice episode, it genuinely didn't have any lasting repercussions. It was like a stand-alone episode. And they could have unbubbled her way earlier, they just chose until the last minute because the VA costs a lot. It was so forgotten to the point where the gems didn't use her upgrades, the Jasper vs Amethyst arc went ahead like nothing happened and nobody mentioned her at all.

SUF is not about that, the very first episode he proudly declares he is Steven Universe. And he's not doing things so he's not like his mother, he's doing things to stop being lonely.

The fourth episode has him break down when Volleyball says he’s like Pink

Just because he doesn't want to be like her doesn't mean it's his primary goal throughout the season. The episode with Pink Pearl is the only one where they brought it up. His issues this season have mostly nothing to do with Pink.

HHNNNNNNNGGGG

It is. He’s still clinging to the fact he can’t ask for help because he’s supposed to be beyond that. Be the person who was strong, stronger than Rose

>Jasper's back before the finale

Oh fuck she really is going to help Steven. Connie is probably the one to actually talk him down but Jasper is going to be integral in some way.

>Rose also risked herself for the sake of others.
True. But her reasons were never fully pure without a selfish angle mixed in, and she was willing to do morally dubious things to achieve goals.

Steven goes full-Jesus for the greater good.

> The last arc is about how Steven was able to convince the other Diamonds to stop BECAUSE he was the son of Pink Diamond.
That’s why they listened. Shaking off her legacy was in telling the truth and connecting to them rather than lie and fight.
> Again, any other gem could have done that. If Bismuth never existed Steven could have just hired other gems to do her job. There's no sign of Little Homeworld that tells you it was her work.
Bismuths
The teleporter for one. Gem architecture in general actually, Bismuths are the only builders as far as we know. Peridots are mechanical engineers, not industrial engineers.

> Then even you admit she has been wasted and agree to why I say she's the least interesting of them.
I wouldn’t go so far as “wasted” as a character.
Just that there is wasted potential, just like there was with Lapis not teaching Steven Era 1 history and Peridot telling everyone what happened in Era 2 outside of Earth. Or Garnet about Gem types and rarity/hierarchy. Or Pearl about Diamond history, or Amethyst about how the Crystal Gems affected human history.

> But the thing is, while her debut was a nice episode, it genuinely didn't have any lasting repercussions. It was like a stand-alone episode.

Agreed.
It matters thematically, but only thematically. Not towards the greater plot.

Is this feederism

To be fair, each episode has been a showcase for each one of the cast he is closest to. Its why I imagine that Mr. Universe isn’t a Greg-centric episode since we already got that split between two episodes.

Is Jaspers hair pink in this or is it just the shading?

He is a fusion and it explains perfectly how he was made AND why his gem can fuse with humans.

Shading.
But her hair was always cream, which I think was meant to evoke the idea of the color pink.

if steven is a fusion where did the baby come from? Gems are just light projecting from their gems. How do you get organic material from light and a rock?

Technically, all matter is just energy. One of those mindfucky parts of science, atoms are just “electrical” (as a simplified comparison) blobs of electrical blobs, which themselves might be electrical blobs.

A molecule is just electrical blobs made up of electrical blobs that have their composite electrical blobs stuck in the electrical blobs of other electrical blobs.

Conversion of energy to matter and vice versa that can be “3d printed” into whatever you want is a high sci fi concept that lets you basically have magic. So is the idea of “hard light”.

We already have Gems with organic properties. They can digest food, and produce tears, sweat, and saliva. Most likely those substances are produced from their energy and emitted through their hard light energy bodies. That’s why despite in theory Steven’s “gem genetics” making him resemble Pink Diamond as someone very tall and lanky with poofy hair, his mother created her energy-to-matter DNA to give him the chubby body and curly hair of a Rose Quartz instead. She had to intentionally create it, so she edited it to be what she wanted him to be.

>Shaking off her legacy was in telling the truth and connecting to them rather than lie and fight.
But Steven has always been honest, he uses truth most of the time to get his things. The rare times where he lies is used for comedy reasons like when he lied to the rubies. He has been this way even in S1.
He couldn't bring himself to lie to Peridot back in S2 even when she was their enemy

so is this based on her oc story or something? What the hell is Jurai?

The biggest lie Steven ever told was during the Test and that had repercussions that has basically rippled across the entire series to this very day. Pretty nuts if you think about it. But yes, when expressing stuff to other people that isn't about himself he does tend to be honest.

Think it's a Tenchi Muyo thing. Makes sense since the "Universe" part of the show's title comes from Rebecca watching Tenchi Universe growing up.

But even then that's one of those white lies that benefit everybody, he has never lied to a villain to the point it was something with actual consequences. I'm not counting the rubies because those girls where fucking fodder.

I am scaroused

It benefits everyone but himself because he's pretending everything is fine and basically internalising his pain. It's heartwarming in the moment but in hindsight it's another failure of the CG's to protect him.

Alright, I guess. Has anyone seen that show to recognize what shes supposed to represent from that show?
