YELLOW DIAMOND IS A CLOD! *Steven Universe* Season 2 Episodes 24-26 FINALE REACTION Message Received

[@SavannahMeercat]

"The Crystal Gems" is the name of Rose's rebel group. It's like all Crystal Gems are gems, but not all gems are Crystal Gems

[@chaoscarrousel]

well, not all crystal gems are gems, you could very well argue that Connie, being trained by pearl to fight with them and being able to fuse with steven, is also a crystal gem despite not being a gem

[@Kalekalka]

I just noticed that when Yellow Diamond asked who was on the line Peridot responded with just Peridot, then was asked which one, which means that she was already thinking about herself as unique.

[@TheHiddenHand420]

Rose would DEFINITELY say "all lives matter", but she wouldn't understand why people get offended when she says it😂😂😂 Also, loving this Series. Steven Universe is such a wonderful show and im always so glad to see people experience it❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@iesika7387]

If Rose said all lives matter she'd actually mean it instead of using it to shut down discussion about systemic inequalities and injustices.

[@GreySeashell-j3m]

29:55 "WHERE AM I GONNA PUT THE STAR?!" LMAO Peridot

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Lol I think it would fit on her giant hair/helmet

[@wtimmins]

I love Peridot's coding as neurodivergent. Rings true on so many levels.

[@kayla8402]

Peri and Lapis are two particular flavors, it's a lot of fun.

[@georgev3433]

24:45 This episode is fun in a rewatch because everything Peridot says isn’t inherently going against Eatth/thr Crystal Gems. As Peridot mentions the Diamonds are objectively better than a normal gem, and Yellow is the most logical/clear thinker of them all. So to Peridot why should they risk a potentially unsuccessful mission with the drill, when she can explain the logical reasons to save Earth to YD and have her deactivate the z cluster. But that golden vision of YD is instantly shattered. All her self importance gained with the CGs? Removed because she’s just another lowly peridot not worth learning the face of. That objective, logical gem she adores? She’s shone to be petty, personal, and unwilling to listen to reason. Peridot gets her worldview shattered.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Beautifully put! It was definitely a huge episode for Peridots character progression.

[@EwMatias]

The chicken crossing the road is an anti joke. Since it's presented as a joke, you expect that the answer would be something unexpected and clever, but then it's something mundane and logical, which can be funny for some because that's not what they were expecting.

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Ohhh yes of course 🐔 A good old anti joke!

[@jennamurdock8716]

Oh I was told that it was "to get to the other side" as in the chicken got hit by a car & crossed over to "the other side" aka the afterlife

[@EwMatias]

@@jennamurdock8716 You can interpret it that way, but "the other side" is not a common enough expression to make it the default.

[@SilverScribe85]

I always thought the punchline was "it was too far to fly"

[@dansmart3182]

It is akin to "Why is a Raven like a Writing desk?" A riddle with no solution.

[@alejandromondragon2371]

I’m so jealous of anyone who gets to experience this show for the first time - I’d erase my mind just to experience what that’s like again 😭

[@nanathefox]

I watched all of Steven universe as a 19yr old. It is THAT GOOD and I absolutely fell in love with it. It's not nostalgia that makes you love this show trust me. Also yeah it was amazing but at the same time I wished I would have watched the show while having the community still kind of alive

[@CinnamonWithATwist]

maybe someone told you by now, but they're called the crystal gems because earth is part of the crystal system. in peridot's SOS message in cry for help, she refers to earth as "abandoned crystal system colony planet earth". they refer to our solar system as the crystal system

[@GreySeashell-j3m]

23:40 They've always had stars on their outfit from day one if you search up their s1 & s2 designs 😊

[@ColinTedford]

I'm glad both of you picked up the vibe when Garnet offers to fuse with Peridot! I haven't seen many reactors mention it and it was starting to make me feel like I was reading too much into it. 😅 Also I just recently noticed that Peridot's hair is a yellow diamond - altho in these episodes from some angles it seems to have a curve on the bottom instead of a point. But it's at least sometimes a diamond!

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Nice catch on peridots hair! I guess she truly does have yellow diamond on the mind lol.

[@wtimmins]

There aren't many sibling reactors, but I love the energy of most of them. You two are great! (Sputnik solo is also great, though!)

[@SilverScribe85]

Someone actually uploaded a video where they slowed down the sped-up audio during Peri's lecture about CPH

[@SputnikSpyglass]

I'll have to give that a watch!

[@SilverScribe85]

@@SputnikSpyglass The video is called Peridot's Shipping Rant Admittedly, the audio's a little faded but you can hear it clearly through headphones

[@kaylagaymon4873]

22:35-22:37 Peridot called Yellow Diamond a clod. Yellow Diamond's angry face meme cracked me up so hard. That's one of her most savage moments 😡😡😡🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

[@ananon3560]

Very excited to see what you think of the coming seasons! It's nice to watch this again with someone else who doesn't know what's up! It makes me appreciate all the little bits of foreshadowing and how subtle most of them are ps: yellow looks so funky in this ep, giraffe kneck

[@SevenQs]

Definitely a unique style choice to introduce yellow diamond with xD. Thankfully she looks better later

[@-i_own_you_-]

There are 4 diamonds. Check the murals on the moon base You were right about the three but didn't notice the fourth one

[@jjrollins313]

This was the reaction I was waiting for; seeing Peridot call YD a clod😂😂😂

[@Peri_snot]

Love yall❤❤❤❤ I look forward to these reactions every week all week

[@kayla8402]

*sings* "I just want to see a giant woman" *monkeys paw curls*

[@butters796]

If you haven't seen them, I'd recommend Craig of the Creek or Communtiy for light fun. For emotional release and a good cry, I highly recommend Centaurworld (this is a bit raunchy at times, but the story is worth it imo)

[@SputnikSpyglass]

I haven't seen either but I'll definitely add them to the animated shows to potentially watch list!

[@jupiter9974]

Did Pearl forget how to operate the moon base? or is she just pretending to

[@revangerang]

Hmmmm I don't know if we ever get an answer to why our group is called "The Crystal Gems," but my headcanon that I just made up right now is that Gems are called "gems" in the language of homeworld, and the Rebels borrowed an earth word for crystals/gems and attached it.

[@CinnamonWithATwist]

sorry to reply to a 9 month old comment but we got the answer in early season 2. in Peridot's message in cry for help, she says "This is Peridot, transmitting on all frequencies from abandoned crystal system colony planet earth". They're called the crystal gems because the planet they defend is part of the crystal system. our solar system is the crystal system

[@khemmeta]

“to get to the ☠️‘Other Side’☠️” (via getting hit by a car) They broke the punchline by adding “…of the road” probably because kid’s show.

[@khemmeta]

Also, I don’t think I got it until I watched this episode either TBH.
