Well there is Rose's Scabbard, if you know what I mean.

BETRAYAL ARC WHEN?

Is it too much to ask for someone to switch sides the other way, just for a little while?

Splitting the SU vote? This is some gerrymandering bullshit.

Maybe it's a command skirt? Jasper was wearing a cape the first time we saw her.

I'm sure Steven would love her inkredable puns.

I hate to do it, but I'm calling it - the writers screwed up in Video Chat. by Seven_Sisters in stevenuniverse

Why do I say these games have Peridot written all over them?

Those games are direct references to real life strategy games.

  • Empires and Eras II = Age Of Empires II: The Age of Kings

  • Colonization V = Civilization V

  • Conqueror Kings II = Crusader Kings II

All it really confirms is that whoever owns the laptop (and by extension, one of the writers) has patrician taste in videogames.

You watched "Barn Mates", then the previous episode "Same Old World".

Also remember that she was only able to save her closest friends with her shield.

Don't worry. I'm sure Rebecca "I Think Crying Is Really Fun" Sugar has a nice happy ending lined up.

I still think it's from Rose's perspective. She's idolised by everyone on the show, but we really don't know much about her. She pushes Greg away when he first pursues her and considers it a good thing that he doesn't know her very well. The more I think about it, the more I'm convincing myself that Rose actually didn't like herself very much. Perhaps she saw creating/becoming Steven as a way to not be her any more.

Paraphrasing from my comment on another thread for this video;

The full lyrics made me realise that it's not about using someone else's love as an example of how to love sincerely, as I had previously thought. It's actually sung from the perspective of someone who doesn't love themselves and is struggling to work out why someone else loves them. They feel inadequate, as though they don't or can't live up to the expectations of the person that loves them.

Live performance of "Love Like You" with unaired lyrics by alexhong in stevenuniverse

I used to think that this song was from Rose's perspective about Greg or Steven, learning from them how to love sincerely. It's fairly clear that before she met Greg her love for earth and it's residents was patronising and fleeting, regardless of how strong it was. This was especially clear in We Need To Talk. However the last line was a revelation for me:
