Mr. Universe // Fragments
Hi. So..... Here we are, last two episode before the finale.......(about that; possibly it will be in two post, maybe not on the same day, but I will do it, don't worrie)
Let's see them:
āØ
Mr. Universe
First, I noticed the lunch/snack what Greg did for Steven... What if I say, they use to eat it together.... Men are tipicaly bad cooks, and eat junk food

It was funny to see Greg sneak in.... And Steven simply levitate himself upš
But, to be more serious; you could see something interesting; the spoons and the goat statues;
If you watch carafuly, you can realise, the spoons are strongly resemble to the Diamonds' essence glasses... Also, possibly those are part of a game; if you go somewhere in the world you can by one and put in the collection. Seemingly Steven's grandparents were a bunch of places.... Just like the Diamonds (concured planets......)
About the statues; in the SU seria (episode: Giant Woman) Steven "adopted" a goat, and named Steven Jr. So, those object could symbolised kids
All together; those were a nice and completed "family". And Steven liked it, even if he wasn't a part of it
Now, we finaly know why was so bad for Greg when he had to cut of his hair: it meant the freedom for him
Also: I understand Greg tried to help Steven with the song..... But he already brought up Steven by give him freedom.... Nobody can adopt something what is already his/her. Steven needed something what can set him free.....from family
Fact; The main character name is Steven Quartz Universe. Just to be clear; his upset feelings absulutly understandablle: he isn't a quartz and not "Universe". Even the title of the seria is a lie
About the photo; personally I think he deleted it. He was need for a somebody, who would be something poitive in his life, unlike his mother..... And now... He lost it. He can't accept his father's past, cause it would means he is just like his parents. He wanted to forget the past....

Side note; maybe it's just me, but why does young Greg looks like a BlueDiamond!au Steven?
šš
Fra-gmen-ts
So, let's start with my favorite part of the episode:
ā
Steven; I just want to be alone [...]
Jasper: Phhhs.... If you really wanted to be alone, you're doing it wrong.
ā
The next to the reader;
For the first time it sounds funny, and it is. But actually Jasper was right; when most of the people is trying to avoid some serious problems, they usually found somebody, who isn't important enought to hurt him/her with their oppinion
This way they can speak about their problem, without any consecuenses. But please, think it over; solve a problem with somebody, who doesn't even like you and doesn't involved in your problem; it's not a sollution. Your problem will be solved only seemingly, because (again) the other doesn't love you and doesn't know your chase. He/She can't help (now I'm not speaking about psychotherapists; but even they try to get information about the situation before start helping not just ram into it)
Just because somebody has/had similar problem(s) to you, it doesn't mean your problem can be solved in the same way. Feel free for try, maybe will help. But don't think it's the only sollution. Keep it in mind

I would point something out; Steven ate a fish. It's not big deal, but at this point he was vegetarian by choice.....
The fight was amazing
Hmmm..... Am I the only one who felt Dragon Ball vibe š?
Wow..... I hoped the helmet will get horns.....but not like these.... Wow
After the title, I was sure this will hapen. But personally I hoped it will be permanent. To be honest, I don't want Steven be a killer..... But he would understand more that way what he did
Steven temporary become a Human-Diamond. Just look his eyes.....
Also, did you realised how much dammage was caused by Steven on Jasper? Just like poor Volleyball......

ā
š
Bonus;
So, Greg's letters were titled to Greg Universe. But if he just use the name, but not changed it, Steven real name is;
Steven Diamond DeMayo
It's just fun details, but on Greg room's door, and the letters' stamp you can see a white dove. This could be a reference to Dove Self-Esteem Project, a seria, where the characters try to give good advices and examples for a mentaly healthy life

Two thing;
Steven's tears can heals as well
If only the essence of the Diamonds' can bring back to life instant a corrupted, shatered gem with seemingly not serious dammage and closly healed corruption, what are they capable of Together?
ā
So, I hope the finale will be as interesting as the previous episodes.... We will see. Until that; be happy. And if you are not, try to found somebody, who love you. Maybe you won't be happy. But you won't be sad alone
Next:
Homeworld bound // Everything is fine
Previous:
Together forever // Growing pain
Ah so thatās why Greg always kept his space from Steven and sort of let the gems raise him, his parents were overly controlling and he wanted to give Steven freedom
Also that episode has killed me emotionally mentally and maybe physically too

CRASH LIKE A COMET
Episode 15 & 16 Analysis Bits
This is a analysis post of all the little things that I, and probably some of you guys noticed in the latest 2 episodes.
The Diamond Essence
So Steven used all the diamond essence. Everyone knows that. But the contrast between how the essence blends in episode 1 and 15 is pretty interesting.
In episode 1 of SUF, the blend of essence looks very smooth, bright, and wavy. It sparkles in a very nice and harmonious way.


However, in the latest episode, the blend looks far more... fragmented. Unstable. Dark.


This is probably a representation of his mental state being far more jarred, unstable, and just unhealthy. Rather than spreading evenly and properly, his essence just spreads, like a stain. Or a corruption scar....
Steven's forms
Steven has changed shape, size and even color this season. There are some things to take note of:
Steven's form changes either uniformly or chaotically. This probably indicates weather the change is a reaction or an internal change. That's why Steven grew so chaotically and unsustainably in Growing Pains, but grew in a āhealthierā way during Fragments. Not that the way he grew was healthy at all.
We know from the series that gems, including Steven, change form depending on their mental state. Steven changed into chad Steven because he felt stronger. Steven might change into the wyrm because he feels out of control, like a corrupted gem.
Pink Diamond Resembelence
Steven underwent a number of physical changes during Fragments, but one of the most significant ones was his increasing resemblance to his mother.


He's taller, about quartz height. His hair is poofier, like Pink's hair, and it even has the same tufts as hers. And the eyes? People have been pointing out that they have white pupils like White's , rather than Blue and Yellow's black pupils. And that must be deliberate.
White said she wanted to fix things. When she couldnāt, she moved ahead. Steven wants to fix things, but he can't live without a purpose. His family saw him as a burden when he couldnāt do anything. That has fed into his current state, if not created it.
Betraying Every Single Crystal Gem Value
This is probably one of the things that hit me the hardest in this episode. He managed to:
Destroy organic life
SHATTER A GEM
Enjoy violence and causing pain
Within 3 days. All things that his mother fought so hard to prevent from occurring. Perhaps this is why he has decided to do it. His mother didnāt want it, so in an attempt to prove that he's his own person, he does all of the things that would cause disapproval from anyone but Jasper.
It's convoluted and awful, but in a way it makes sense. If he does what his family wants, they will always want more. They'll never want more of this.
Greg
When Steven said āYouāre just like mumā, I was astounded by how offensively Greg took it. Astounded for a good reason. He realises that Rose wasn't an entirely altruistic person.
I think this actually shows an incredible amount of strength in Greg. I feel like Steven overreacted in the situation, but Greg has grown nonetheless.
He did get carried away though. He whisked Steven through his youth, without any regard for his feelings. Instead of sitting and talking, he tried to distract Steven. And that CD... context, Greg. Context.
Also, they way that he implies that Steven was āfreeā shows how little he helped bring up Steven after he moved in with the gems.
Anyway, that was a lot to unpack. I hope you enjoyed reading it! If you have any thoughts, let me know.
