Steven Universe s2 eps11 & 12

Keystone Motel & Onion Friend

THEY'RE BACK!!!!

Steven Universe s2 eps11 & 12

Comments

As someone said, The "Keystone State" is Pennsylvania. "Keystone" AKA Pennsylvania being right next to were Steven lives, is another hint that he lives in Delaware. But I think at some point they call it "Delmarva". SO it's basically just an alternate USA. Although you probably won't see this cuz, ya know, the shitters who kept posting spoilers. C'est la vie

Daniel Nolt

I swear to god, Onion is a cryptid.

Carter Dohoney

It really is harder to piece that shit together without seeing it tbh with a 4 year gap. Being able to see a clear definition of a character is amazing. I touched on you not being able to have known, but I still stand by my point. 4 Years of not watching this with 3 rewatches before that doesn't mean I will remember it. I felt like going back through this show since I loved the music of it and saw Wee Lass so figured I would watch the episodes along side and see the details I missed through the years (The art style is a bit different than my blurry ass thought it was). I just find it funny that me thanking someone for bringing up something I forgot and bringing up visual similarities that I couldn't see before warrants "how could you miss this?" response from 2 people. It just kind of grinds my gears. Sorry to write you an essay, but thank you again for not dropping to insults like a lot of other Patreon people. Hope you have a good day.

Spadez

that is a incredible nich situation pardon my lack of imagination to come up with a Dr. house diagnosis. but btw this is plot point is reinteared multiple times throught multiple episodes in áudio, we never get a graph like or any sort fo visual confirmation so you are not missing on this front.

Filipe Oliveira Ladislau

@ Filipe - Dude I have serious issues with my eyes and haven't been able to fully SEE the episode till the end of 2024 when my eyes finally started clearing from toxocariasis surgery and removing a parasite in my eye. I have been listening to almost everything since my vision went blurry. Seeing as how I hadn't watched the show for 4 years and when I did I could HARDLY see, it makes sense that I couldn't really put that together without getting the visual representation. I get that you couldn't have known that I had/have vision issues, but instead of asking HOW I missed it you instead try to make it seem like it is impossible that I could have.

Spadez

@ general blackjack : I watched it when it came out, and then rewatched it quite a few times. Sorry I didn't memorize every episode. I never said it was up to interpretation, I just said I never considered it. The Final episode aired 6 years ago and I watched it a few times but still over 4 years since I retouched it. Either way, find it funny that you feel the need to belittle my reply when I was thankful for someone pointing out something apparently obvious to someone with a seeing disability. Everything is a blur but I can listen to it quite well and this is my first rewatch since having major eye surgery, thanks for that, dick.

Spadez

Since she's olbor reading these comments I'll add that she does a great job playing multiple characters, too.

Mina Beavers

🎶 I always thought I might be bad now I'm sure that it's true 🎶

Mina Beavers

bro later there is a whole episode about Marty being a dead beat who did you missed it? while a bit of handed sour cream being only half brother was confirmed since Joy ride (s2 ep2)

Filipe Oliveira Ladislau

"Multiple rewatchs" You've been skipping a certain episode then, because it's not a matter of interpretation who Sour Cream's bio dad is.

General Blackjack

True, that could be why he is taller like Marty and Vidalia, while Onion is shorter and looks more like Yellowtail does on the picture on the fridge. I always thought that Yellowtail was Sour Cream's dad....but it would make sense with the whole music thing and Marty, etc. In my multiple rewatches I never considered that Onion and Sour Cream are half-brothers. TY for giving me fresh eyes on this! You are awesome!

Spadez

"Weird on my fur" is probably a cat "fingers reference" we actually had see Vidalia Before in the flashback of "story for steven" she jumps out of Greg van with Marty probably justa few moments after ... hum... "conceiving" Sour cream.

Filipe Oliveira Ladislau

The reference with "Keystone" is how every state in the US has an official nickname: my home state of Rhode Island is "the Ocean State", New York is "the Empire State", and so on. "The Keystone State" is Pennsylvania.

ArcticBanana

“Feels weird on my fur” is probably in reference to when Steven was a horrific hoard of cats

Shiranui solstice

Ruby is my absolute favourite character in the show I love seeing her in episodes

Star ⭐️

(Keystone) It's the little things: the way Pearl and Amethyst were huddled and talking when Steven & co got back, how worried Pearl clearly was, and the way Amethyst was comforting her before flipping her hand off Pearl's knee and dropping back into her "too cool for this" mask the moment someone else was around. And no attention drawn or expository comment made.

Simon Davis

Sweet onions are also called Vidalia

Nihilero

The beginning part with you and Elijah was super cute :) You two are adorable. Good video in general, enjoyed your reactions, especially the 'big' ones :)

Tintros

this

Terrance Piette

U actually saw Vidalia before, she was with Marty when Greg told the story of how he met Rose.

Wolfie

Mosco sounding like Striker from Heullva Boss lol "Why's it always a sex thing?!"

Stellar Kruize

You guys should go as Ruby and Sapphire for halloween

Yhelta

I love Ruby's VA, Charlyne Yi. Her little scratchy voice is so cute and her as Ruby is amazing. ANYWAY I also kinda love Onion Friend... maybe this is just a personal thing, but I remember as a child hearing my parents and my parents' friends talking about stuff, stuff that I as a child had no reference for... Sitting on the stairs, hearing them talk quietly about things only adults care about? It remind me of exactly what Steven feels in this situation. I love how Steven hears and recognizes Amethyst needs a friend to confide in, and goes back to deal with Onion to let her. It's so touching how understanding he is... and boy he deserves some extra credit because Amethyst NEEDED someone else to talk to, but Onion is SO WEIRD... lmao I'm glad he stuck it out for Amethyst's sake.

Alp

post in yt comments when its up! she doesnt read patreon ones now bcz people kept putting full spoilers

Phoenix Mackenzie

about the p.s yeah i wish live feeding was illegal at least for the snakes sake, shouldn't have the risk of getting hurt from trying to eat but sadly its still legal in places

Phoenix Mackenzie

I think the “feels weird on the fur” is a reference to the Cat fingers episode.

Adrian_B

well even though Mosco wont see this since the episodes are short she could if she felt like it do 3 episodes to roughly equal out to one Ducktales ep in terms of run time but thats also up to her editing staff too

Omegasigma

Keystone motel really show how Ruby and Saphire connect individually with Steven (even though they spend alot of it arguing)- namely how they're Garnet's split down the middle. Sapphire provides Garnet's parental side, while Ruby confers the respect and belief Garnet has in him. Sapphire tries to be both reassuring and practical, assuring him that the conflict won't last and downplaying the drama, as many parents would. Basically, she tries to avoid involving him in the fight. However, when Steven's upset, she immediately realizes why he's upset... and the part she and Ruby have played in upsetting him. Ruby speaks to Steven as an equal, being honest with him and expecting him to understand why she's so angry. And if anything, she overestimates his maturity and is horrified when he blames himself for the situation. If you hear Garnet telling everyone to have faith in Steven and never mess with his funky flow, it's Ruby that's speaking. Side note in case no one has pointed it out: We actually met Vidalia briefly in Story for Steven. She was in the back of the van with Greg's jerk of a manager, Marty. P.s: fact about keeping reptiles as pets. Normally mice meant for feeding to snakes are already dead when you get them, because a still alive mouse would fight and possibly kill your snake. In all likely hood the mouse is a pet.

Supersideswiper

I like him because he's the show's criminal element, the resident chaos agent.

Craig Rangoon

oh my god i was wondering what that was referencing and i've rewatched steven an untold amount of times lol

gasoline

if I remember correctly it was 3 months from the end of October/beginning of November

Alex

Hey new here. let me just say Ruby is hands-down, my favorite character.

Amarri Harvey

See, this is kinda why I'm intentionally not on the discord, sorry. No offense intended, but I thought season 2 of Arcane was genuinely incredible and the laughing about "shredding" it apart is kind of off-putting. There's way too many negative fandom spaces online already, especially in the Arcane fandom. I am just not interested in putting myself in another if I don't have to

Andy

Many people call Pennsylvania “The Keystone State” because it was central during the early period of the nation. Philadelphia being the de-facto capitol of the nation. Apparently in this universe, they officially called it that.

Pherson G

Mosco: "I'll drop Duck Tales." Me, evil voice, Mr Burns hands: "Do it."

Will and Kim

Not sure if anyone else said it yet about Steven's comment of "the car wash brushes feel weird on your fur", he is referencing the time he turned himself into that cat monster when learning how to shapeshift and to undo it, Greg puts Steven through the car wash.

Vex Valor

Hah i just sang that to the tune of < insert title of futre song here >

Annieme

This reaction had Mosco going through it. From sapphic cuteness to Onion’s….. Oniony-ness? 😍😱🌈💜

Liam Gradwell

sweet. of all the combinations that i didn't expect. So glad she is working with an indie studio. Gotta check out that trailer. I hope this goes really well for those involved.

Willow Arkan

try under 'settings' -> 'more' -> 'connected apps' -> 'discord'. there, if you haven't done so, you need to connect to your discord, from there you can join the servers that are available to you by your memberships. Mind that is on the patreon website, not sure if it works differently on the mobile app.

Willow Arkan

Idk I just assumed Onion was on the autism spectrum but that's just my opinion

Haley Commet

Now that you've seen this episode, you should rewatch Story for Steven! You might see a familiar face.

dannyzee123

Neat

Corvo Joka

Anything with Charline Yi gets an automatic pass. She's like if sriracha sauce was a person; almost always an improvement.

Craig Rangoon

I keep having the idea of making a big map/diagram of all the references and foreshadowing between episodes

Craig Rangoon

So... Vidalia DEFINITELY painted that portrait of Rose, right? We never hear anything about that painting but it gets some pretty dramatic screen time now and then, but that had to have been Vidalia's work.

Gone

She’s visiting for a long period, can’t remember how long she said.

Matthew Abbott

Yep, she saw the trailer and mentioned it on her Bluesky account.

Stephen Mumford

Onion is just menace 🤣🤣

PinkPonytail _Girl

Unpopular opinion,but I love Onion as a character.Ive seen many people say that he feels like a good representation for young Autistic kids.And as someone who isn't autistic and was just a weird kid that watched this show I felt very seen.I can't speak for everyone but I love Onion as a character,and the hate for his character feels very forced.If you don't like Onion,I don't trust you! 😤

Lisunavailable

Pretty sure she was (is?) visiting for the holidays, if you look at the trello you'll see she recorded a ton of stuff ahead of time while there. Remember when everybody was telling her to watch the extended intro in the eps. 5&6 reaction comments? She added it on top of the eps 13&14 reaction on her trello because reactions up to episode 12 were already recorded at that point.

Nuk Limpear

Steven went through the car wash when he turned into a big blob of cats. Hence fur.

Matthew Abbott

It’s queer and it’s yuri, and it’s lesbian, it’s gay It’s sapphic, isn’t it? What a happy day

JamJarWorks

What I love about the "Onion Friend" episode isn't really anything about Onion, though it feels like there's a lesson about accepting the "weird" kids. What I really like is the connection we get to see from Amethyst and Vidalia. They empower each other, and their friendship makes me happy.

Nicrocon

Also, we have seen Vidalia before. Remember Story for Steven?

Arianod

Mosco got so close to figuring out the Diamonds hierarchy. When it turns out Neil Diamond is at the top, things get weird.

A Magic Duck

the Keystone state is another name for Pennsylvania

Luke Teasdale

I’ve met Ruby’s VA Charline Yi. Very nice down to earth.

Kites Pongan

hes a shitpost

Luke Teasdale

Elijah gets excited about an episode: It’s sapphic, isn’t it? Isn’t it? Isn’t it sapphic?

A Magic Duck

Yeah, the one Marty exited the back of Greg's van with!

Nuk Limpear

it doesn't show any links under my membership 😔

Peridot

This is 1000% a show that you should rewatch, as you will see, you miss SOOO much stuff because you don't have the hindsight. I have rewatched SU well over a dozen times and occasionally I still find little things within the background or have a different interpretation on events then I did when I first watched it

PinkPonytail _Girl

A sweet one that can be eaten straight up like an apple! Which kinda fits this "intimidating punk girl with a soft center" character, doesn't it!

Nuk Limpear

Onion's a roller-coaster

GhostPuss

Question, do Mosco live with Elija now?, only asking cause im curious about it

tom david johansen

We already met Vidalia, too bad Mosco didn't remember. This make the episode way more interesting!

CaptSamavor

Don't worry, Mosco. All questions shall be answered ^^ (Except for Onion. But that's as well)

Arianod

Steven's line about making his fur feel weird, is because being Rose's child results in to turning into a pink lion every other day. It happens in S3 when we find out Lion is Nora

Porpoise Power

Onion needs to be in a rubber room

Emi

I love Ruby and Sapphire so much 🩷

Raine

If I'm counting correctly about two weeks from now is when we will get ,,the Answer" to one of the questions that you were wondering about.

LikeCat

A little unrelated: Have you heard about the new show created by Dana Terrace, with GLITCH, so the studio behind Murder Drones and The Amazing Digital Circus? "The Knights of Genevieve" This is a huge win for indie animation and I can't wait to see how it will make Disney, and other big players in the animation industry, look bad.✨

Corvo Joka

how do you access the workflow?

helluva.alixx

Of all the actual extraterrestrial beings in this show, somehow Onion is the most alien

Martin E Melcher

there's a link to it under the membership tab here on patreon, then iirc you post in the "introductions" channel of the discord and the mods will give you access to the rest.

potato potato also another potato

Vidalia is a kind of onion. ;)

William Timmins

Beach City is in the state of Delmarva, which is the Delmarva Peninsula, part of Maryland, on OTL. It's on the east side of Chesapeake Bay.

David Johnson

To one of the questions you posed, dont worry, (in sapphire voice) you will get the answer soon enough :3

Annieme

my favorite sillies !

ServerGlitch

I just love that they’re both not what you think they are. I love them so much

Simone Lott

Keystone motel one of my favorite episodes

Air

Square pizza is best pizza. They don't have it where I live now, so one of my holiday treats when I go home to see the folks is that, finally, I can once again have square pizza.

Will and Kim

Keystone Motel was the episode that got me into watching Steven. I didn't like the art style at first but then I saw screenshots of Ruby and Sapphire from the ending so I decided to give it a try and it ended up being one of my favorite shows. Steven lives in the state of Delmarva (which is also the name of the peninsula that Delaware, and the eastern coasts of Maryland and Virginia are on in our world) and Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone state (also the brochure the shape of the state is close to Pennsylvania's shape). And I think you missed the sign but the diner was actually called The Best Diner In The World. Also the episode you were thinking about was Keeping It Together, Reformed was the one where Amethyst kept getting poofed. Fun fact: Vidalia is also a type of onion! And we have seen Vidalia before! In Story For Steven, she was the woman that Greg's manager Marty was with.

Kayla Ryan

how do I join the discord server?

Peridot

I mean, Greg directly says "the state called Keystone" so it seems clear that Pennsylvania is called Keystone in the SU universe. I believe New York is also called Empire in universe (New York is called the Empire state IRL). This means that Beach City is somewhere in easy driving distance of Pennsylvania, which I find interesting from a lore perspective.

Will and Kim

Random: Pennsylvania is known as the keystone state, which is what is clearly shown. What's unclear is whether in this world it's actually CALLED Keystone... Also, re: carwash brushes: I think the fur comment is from Catfingers

William Timmins

“they feel weird on your fur” is a reference to cat fingers

Lysa P

I’m not excited for you to see the…video tape.

Alex

Im so excited for you to see more ruby and sapphire
