Ronaldo is great because 95% of the time he's played as a lovable Comic Book Guy type character, but every once in a while you get a glimmer of admission that being a conspiracy theorist is not an endearing character trait but is in fact indicative of something really unsettling and dangerous. (Also he's really funny.)

WarpedNaba posted:Lars is seriously misguided and has enormous insecurity issues that go all the way back to his early childhood, I can't hate him for that. He does show that he's growing a little as a character after all that crap, so I'd call him a wait-and-see. Ronaldo straight up knocked out and kidnapped Steven, and was going to slice him open from gullet to gizzard for a youtube video until the Gems showed up to probably kill him if Steven hadn't called them off. poo poo was hosed up.

At the time, he literally believed him to be an evil monster that was trying to take over the earth. I'm not saying "kidnap and autopsy" is the right reaction there, but it is slightly less horrifying than if he'd actually tried to do it to regular old Steven.

This was Steven in like a mega lovely costume made out of cardboard and trash bags. The point is that Ronaldo is totally willing to slice open a person in a lovely costume for youtube because he's so deluded that he's able to see past visible scotch tape and googly eyes.

DrakePegasus posted:Sadie deserves better than Lars, but he's apparently what she wants. At the same time, Lars didn't deserve to be stranded on an island for a month, but I can't see him surviving without Sadie even if he didn't live in disaster-prone Beach City. Lars and Sadie's relationship is probably the most realistic one on the show, to an almost uncomfortable degree. I'm sure all of us know at least one Sadie or Lars. Hell, I'm sure some of us are or have been a Sadie or a Lars. It's me, I've been a Lars

Yeah, there's been a little bit of Lars in all of us at some point. It's his only redeeming feature- deep down we can identify with him, at least a bit.

There's a bit where Steven is annoyed at Greg's hoarding and asks, 'when did you even have a cat?!' while tossing a little kitty crate. Since this show has some amazing conservation of detail and never uses throw-away lines when it can foreshadow something, I think it was probably used by a younger Lion. Also Greg kind of became a hoarder after his wife committed suicide (by magical reincarnation) and that's pretty sad. Garnet never asks questions ever. Occasionally she tells people to explain things, but that's always for rhetorical effect. This is mostly because she's a boss who knows what's up, but also because she can foresee everyone's potential answers through future vision and doesn't need to bog down the main timeline with the details. In Rose Quartz's armory there's a bunch of armors that Pearl called 'the armor of the fallen,' I just got that it's probably more like 'armor for the fallen' that they stuck gem shards in, to use for foot soldiers.

Ursine Asylum posted:Honestly my first thought was Amethyst. The cat was mentioned in the episode earlier. The pilot version of "Li'l Butler" has a "cat named Money" instead of a dog. It's a piece of metafictional trivia that colours Greg and Amethyst's past. It most likely is not a veiled message. Like how you shouldn't read Amethyst "seeing Greg's junk" literally either. It's innuendo, but it's there to set up the mood (uncomfortable intimacy) instead of their factual past. When Steven asks about the cat, it's him calling Greg and Amethyst out for not being able to move on. It's an almost subconscious allusion: the weird trivia is part of the hoarding, the hypnotic effect of the past. The cat carrier the emptiness of their Li'l Butler obsession made concrete. e: But maybe there actually is an upcoming episode about how Greg smuggled Amethyst as a cat as part of an elaborate heist

Amethyst met Vidalia though Greg, but also knew who Marty was. (There was also a set of photobooth pictures of Vidalia and Amethyst where she shapeshifts into an ugler version of Marty.)
