Gimme back my tree star. Your show is unworthy of it.
Noah Scott
Do episodes just get mangled if they're drawn and animated at Rough Draft?
Looking through Raven and Paul's episodes, so many are plagued with off-model issues, but all of them done at SMIP all have consistent good boarding. Granted, most of those done at SMIP are plot-important episodes ("Warp Tour", "Rose's Scabbard", "The Return", "Gem Drill", and "Earthlings"), but "The New Crystal Gems" seems like it was animated there, and it doesn't seem like too serious an episode.

Gems should make a vlog about their life on earth
Ian Clark
jasper is best best gem
Henry Morales
I need pictures of Steven.
Alexander Collins
Given that the upcoming graphic novel might explain the purpose of the orb in the moon base, would you guys be okay with certain things not being expanded upon in the show if they were expanded on in other official forms of media? like how Peri and Lapis learned to tolerate each other and eventually become friends?
Ayden Bell
YDot is endgame.
Adrian White
I wouldn't mind, but you've got to understand a lot of people don't read the comics.
Asher Carter
it would have to be done well and if it was i would fine with that
Caleb Roberts
Poly Time
Grayson Johnson
kill yourself
Jordan Morgan
nah I'm good thanks
Kayden Reyes
Fine if the show doesn't suffer from it. Like, make references to comics stuff later, but as if it was a small adventure that wasn't too important, and not "lmao don't you read the comics".
Brody Evans
>Will a section with the comics be added to sug.rocks? Why not. I'll take a look at that.
Lucas Bennett
So what are you doing today boys? I'm going to my neighbours.

I love you guys, even if we have different opinions. Stay happy, my friends.
Joseph Cox

Charles Foster
god i wish that were me
Samuel Garcia
Her wip is barbed. You would be in excruciating pain and bleeding out.
Evan Smith
Steven Vs. Amethyst was a great episode.
Gavin Diaz
It still hasn't leaked? Holy fuck
Ian Sullivan
Yeah I hate it when people shit on Raven/Paul even though they produce some of the best episodes and have an overall decent style. A lot of their wonkyness can be blamed on the korean animation studios.
Evan Flores
All the better.
Oliver Rodriguez
They never leak this early. The only time episodes have leaked over a day before they were supposed to air were
>this past Steven bomb (a little under a month in advance by accident) >Buddy's Book (was uploaded to CN's servers a day earlier than usual) >Too Far (shown at 2015 NYCC)
We're getting it sometime midday on Friday.
Isaiah Perry
do you guys think the robonoids are ever gonna be used again at some point?
Andrew Nelson
posting best poly ship
Cameron Jackson
Seems doubtful, unless it was just in the background as homeworld was trying to secure a warp to earth through force or something like that. Don't think Peri can interact with them without her gear, right?
Lucas Diaz
that swim ring aint gonna float your fat ass steven
Oliver Hall
To fix the Warp Pads, when the diamonds come.
Connor Kelly
well, they're already disabled and inactive, i was thinking more if the gems would squish any of them if it was necessary that they needed to fix one of the warps to Homeworld or any other gem planet.
Gabriel Cook
If your each gem was a snack, what would they be and why?
Landon Stewart
Pretty sure a whole bunch of episodes leaked weeks early this summer.
Christian Diaz
Actually, now that I checked, literally every Joe/Jeff/Colin episode was done at SMIP, except for "Say Uncle" (a gag episode where off model animation is more acceptable) and "Rose's Room" (which has thinner lineart + slightly off boarding). I get that they get preferential treatment bc they're the "on model" team, but it'd be interesting to see how a newer episode boarded by them would look if it were animated at Rough Draft.
Caleb Sanders
Have we already been *triggered* by this?
Henry Walker
The SoS episodes, starting with "The New Lars", would leak anywhere from a half hour to 6 hours before airing. None of them leaked a day or more in advance.
James Taylor
Wait what?? Who said that about the orb in the moon?? Also i would be pissed if its only answered in the graphic novel,given the fact that they focused a scene with it in the show.
Adam Ramirez
Peri did use them already. She rebuild them to attack drones seen in Gem Harvest
Jace Jenkins
Yeah we had a storytime yesterday where everybody sperged out
It does bother me a little desu, just because it seems to be done intentionally by the artist to make a point
Luis Kelly
Stand for your brethren, stamp out the Xeno threat.
Nathan Diaz
Pls no leaks I want to watch live with you guys, it used to be so much fun
David Nelson
What the everlasting...
The mental gymnastics required to devise this stilted dialogue is immense. First, this show has no problem calling gendered beings by names that aren't usually applied to people of that gender. Second, up until they considered naming it, they were fine calling it "it", as one does when speaking of nonperson animals of indeterminate sex. Politeness to guard against offense does not apply, even were its sex never to be determined in its lifetime.
So, to believe this dialogue, Steven has to think of it with enough personhood to want to avoid offense, give it a girl's name instead of a gender-neutral name like "Pat", then still use the singular "they".
Dropped from my pull list.
Tyler King
i mean what can you expect from a place called rough draft studios. is that supposed to be an ironic nickname or something
Brandon Phillips
the creator of the comic said they want to 'make it as queer as possible' so this isnt a surprise at all
>"As electric disturbances begin causing objects to mysteriously hover all around town, The Gems travel to the Moon Base and back to figure out how to solve the problem and figure out who is causing it."
There's only 3 known rooms in the Moon Base, one of which was the mural room, and one that was the control room. Unless this introduces some new sections of the base, it has to do with the orb.
Hudson Bell
But you know user, the episode will be leaked before air time.
Nathan Fisher
Lapidirts should fucking kill themselves.
Ethan Richardson
Someone else has theorized that the leaks are by CN and meant to damage SU's ratings right? Some shit about the show being hard to rerun or something.
Parker Reyes
I wonder why holly is so popular.
Jordan Evans
She thicc
Owen Howard
canon
Ryder Bennett
delusion
Isaiah Long
Sometimes people are just too desperate to dig for content of a cartoon for children
Gabriel Hall
I honestly don't get people who ship Steven with people other than Connie
do you just like supporting sunken ships or something?
Jackson King
connnie bad because poo in loo mary sue whatever the fuck
Cameron Ramirez
I get that the artist would want to promote that kind of stuff, but it's kind of dumb to apply it to a bird. Actually have a human that uses "they" if you want to make a point, here it seems forced.
Hunter Gray
Not that popular, just has new gem smell and isn't as ugly as bismuth
Jayden Walker
Agreed. My favorite episode of the Amethyst arc
Colton Sullivan
And we already have that, Stevonnie. And it actually makes sense, too.
Cameron Gray
The whole arc would've been perfect if Smokey wasn't so ugly.
Gabriel Cox
Why the fuck wouldn't Smoky be ugly?
Owen King
>wanting to make it as queer as possible >only "queer" thing in the comic was using a gender neutral pronoun for a fucking bird
Was there even an attempt made?
Parker Jenkins
I actually like Connie but she needs to learn to share.
Ryder Wilson
Work.
Cooper White
Smoky is just fine and looks how a fusion between amy and steven should
Sorry that a fusion between them doesn't look like a model, honestly dont know what you were expecting
Samuel Clark
My main complaint are the stupid tiny feet but that's more of an artstyle problem
Joseph Evans
Any word on when the full episode might leak
Charles Ortiz
Smoky scenes are kinda hard to watch. Ugly and obnoxious. I dunno if she should change, but I don't like that smoky exists.
Alexander Rodriguez
...
Bentley Rogers
>the stupid tiny feet That's a problem with every Amethyst fusion. It especially looks ridiculous on Sugilite.
Matthew Cox
The problem is the concept art is completely superior to the canon art.
Eli Brown
but Smoky is so fun
and I love her asymmetrical arms
Charles Myers
I blame Raven and Paul
Jaxon Morris
It's almost shocking how much better the concept art is.
Grayson Walker
But that doesn't even look like steven + amy fusion looks more like an amethyst rose fusion And why would they be that skinny when both steven and amethyst are chubby/fat
Parker Williams
That is chubby. The current design is straight up obese.
Owen Brooks
Sugar is leagues above her entire crew and it's shocking
Honestly I think Raven/Paul are the closest to capturing her emotional style
Jeremiah Scott
Playing For Honor and if I don't like that/ my toaster cant run it, Dying Light and Forced Unleashed.
Julian Campbell
Not really, thats not that chubby Smoky looks like it has steven and amys body type just in bigger form, they may look a little more rounder to. To me it makes sense for them.
Eli Foster
>Has someone ever theorized that...? Yes.
But the ordinary leaks are from on-demand TV service providers which provide previews and screenshots for all shows, it just happens that for SU they are especially spoilery. Out of This World was just someone fucking up and uploading all 5 episodes when it was meant to be only the first one. In any case it's in CN's best interest to keep ratings up, it's not like high ratings forbids them from cancelling a show
Landon Jenkins
Oops this post was meant for
Oliver Rodriguez
I didn't like her at first. She grew on me during Know Your Fusion
Gavin Richardson
they're dressed like the crystal gems in the new screencaps (well kinda, lapis has amy's messy hair and peridot's wearing glasses like garnet) but who is supposed to be pearl
Jeremiah Cooper
that would suuuuuck. "hey you know that mysterious orb we had a whole scene with in it could have been great? Yeah,we dont have time to adress that.Well just have to talk about it in this graphic novel" At least make it not canon and that the electric disturbances are being made by an enemy gem.It could be fun and wouldnt ruin the shows canon.
Adrian Campbell
>two fatasses >both with pig noses and one is legitimately deformed >WHY DON'T THEY LOOK LIKE A PERFECT WAIFU
Ryan Cox
The body type in the concept design is the exact same as Steven and Amethysts. If it made sense for them to suddenly combine their weights on fusing, shouldn't every fusion be at least chubby? Steven has been shown dieting and has lost weight over the course of the show. It might just be lazy animation, but he's actually pretty skinny now. Amethyst has a slight visible weight on her waistline. Smokey looks like she's wearing a barrel.
Camden Green
the pumpkin,duh
Oliver Perez
No one, Lapis went 'ew' at the thought of being Pearl
Landon Campbell
Where's the porn?
Logan Thompson
when gems fuse with Steven do they fuse with Steven or Rose's gem?
Ryan Lewis
Sucrose helped with the current design tho
She said the design also incorporated ideas from Danny, Paul, Raven, Lauren, Hilary, and Kat. So they are all to blame
Jose Diaz
>Who would want to be a pearl?
Michael Green
>Connie wearing Steven's shirt Can they just plow already holy shit She wants it bad
Kevin Mitchell
Honestly I like how she looks there too, I just hate when they make her a literal ball. What is this shit
