Lapidot Week day 5: “video games”

I can 100% imagine Peridot getting addicted to a game like Pokemon Go and confusing the heck out of Lapis.

Guide to the Crystal Gems update

Guide to the Crystal Gems is hella outdated now so guess who’s gonna update it

Guide to the Crystal Gems is a lovely little book, and it was the first of its kind to be released for this franchise.

It came out in 2015! The book doesn’t even have Sardonyx in the Fusions section (though the episode where we’d met her had aired recently when it was released).

It was the first place where we learned cross-Gem Fusions were unusual. It was the first place we saw Opal described as forgetful and peaceful. It was the first place Rose’s manifesto was printed. It was the first place Quartz was mentioned as a Gem class (that Steven, Amethyst, and Jasper were said to belong to). And there’s info that’s still very interesting about how Rose and Greg made Steven and how Fusions are more than a combo of the components; they also reflect the fusers’ influence on each other.

Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper were all Homeworld-aligned villains. No Diamonds are even in the picture yet. Steven’s never left Earth and he’s never fused with any Gems. He has barely begun coming to terms with his identity with regards to his mom.

It’s all so long ago!

SO

I have taken the liberty of updating my copy.

First, everyone needs a new look.

Now let’s look at Steven’s statements about himself and the other Gems.

Steven on his Gem type:

Steven on his fusion experiences:

Steven on his healing abilities:

Steven on his and Amethyst’s lack of space adventures:

Steven on Pearl’s closeness with Rose:

Steven on Lion:

ok fixed that for ya

Steven on his mom:

Garnet on Malachite:

The former Homeworld Gems’ alignment:

On Pink Diamond’s status:

You should still check out the book if you’re ever inclined, even if you’ll have to update it in your head as you read along!

I don’t need you to love me I love me

Final checklist for Cryptozoic’s Steven Universe Trading Cards!

fuse navy ruby and sapphire!

no navy but I fused these two back when Together Alone came out bc they have similar gem placements

I don’t really like fusing CG sapphire and ruby with other sapphires and ruby’s idk why just feels weird to me 

Maybe they want to enlist in your army, I sure do.

They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our pride!!

autistic aromantic culture is dreading when people get crushes on you and ask you out and claim you’ve been flirting back for forever but you’ve really just been mimicking their behavior because you appreciated them as a friend
