And that’s…
…the show.
That’s Steven Universe.
That’s the end of the most important show I’ve ever watched.
That was…perfect. I wasn’t sure if they were going to nail it, but they did. I was crying through half the episode, really blubbering. I could barely take it. This was SO good.
Steven Universe…what a show. This show was so important. It broke so much ground, and it affected my life in countless ways. I don’t know where I’d be without Steven Universe, but I don’t think I’d be anywhere near as happy. This show means so much to me, and I’m sad to see it go.
It’s the end of an era. I…wow. I finished Steven Universe. That’s it. It’s done. I can’t believe it. One hundred and eighty liveblogging sessions. A little shy of twenty thousand screenshots, counting the ones on my old fried laptop. 4.46 million views. It’s nuts. What a journey.
According to my Discord chat, I’m the first person to liveblog every episode of Steven universe? Some people beat me to the final episode, but they’re ones that started midway through the show. Who’d’ve thought I’d be the first getting from start to finish? Crazy.
I’m stunned. I can’t believe it’s over. It…man, I’m gonna talk in circles here for a minute, but this show changed my life. I can’t believe it’s over. I can’t believe it. There’s no more Steven Universe for me to watch.
I thought it would feel like there was a hole in my life, but instead I feel…complete. That finale really finished it off for me in such a satisfactory way. That sense of completeness is really buoying me in a time when I thought I’d be absolutely crushed. It’s amazing.
I did it. I made it all the way from start to finish. That’s Steven Universe.
Goodbye, Pearl. Goodbye, Connie. Goodbye, Amethyst. Goodbye, Garnet. Goodbye, Greg. Goodbye, Peridot. Goodbye, Lapis, Goodbye, Bismuth. Goodbye, Ruby. Goodbye, Sapphire. Goodbye, Sadie, and Lars, and Onion, goodbye Sour Cream and Buck and Jenny and Ronaldo. Goodbye, everyone.
Goodbye, Steven. I’m going to miss you so much.
The Future comes in at my new #1 for Season 6, displacing Snow Day, and my new #1 for the series, displacing A Single Pale Rose. Very little in this show is on par with it, and nothing made me cry like it has. What a capper. What a perfect sendoff.
I love this show.
If you’d like to read some other Steven Universe liveblogs, now that I’m done, I have a few active ones for you to check out. Minda Reads is finished with Steven Universe, though he only started with Three Gems and a Baby. Taz, the SU Workbook, is the newest game in town, and damn is she good at what she does. Zephyr is another liveblogger that started at the beginning, and he’s halfway through Future, so there’s quite a lot there to read. MissFineFeather is another liveblogger that started midway, with Can’t Go Back, but is up to Prickly Pair in Future. All of these people also do other shows and webcomics, so check them out if you want to branch out, too!
As for me…I’m going to take Friday off. I think I’ve earned it. Well, off from liveblogging; I’ve got streams like Baba Is You and Final Fantasy VII Remake to do, and I may do those for fun, but I’m taking my usually scheduled Friday off from liveblogging. I’ll be getting back to liveblogging on Monday, with the Patron Picks, and after that will be more She-Ra; my plan is to finish Season 1 of She-Ra, then take a big bite out of Season 2 of Infinity Train.
This has been a thrill, liveblogging for you. I hope you Steven Universe fans stick around for the other shows I do, but if not, know this: I treasure every moment we’ve spent together. It’s all been so important. You all make this possible, with your patronage and your fandom, and I owe each and every one of you for making me able to do this for a living. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I’ll see you next time. I love you guys.
(For the record, I did this entire liveblog wearing the Shouty Goat shirt that @thischick25 made me years ago.)
