HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS

THAT WAS…HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIT

YOU WEREN’T KIDDING THAT THIS ONE WAS A “HOLY SHIT” EPISODE

That was intense.  Oh my god.  Oh my god!

That’s  an all-timer.  That really had me going.  The suspense!  The  execution!  I was really strung along!  And watching Steven really get  into the fight was horrifying all on its own!

That was intense.  Holy shit.

So!  Steven just killed somebody.  He brought her back to life after, but she was dead, and by his hand.  That’s some heavy shit.  It’s also, like…not to downplay what he did, because he did that and he needs to face up to that as a consequence, but this is definitely not what our boy can deal with right now.  And on top of everything else,  Jasper is treating him like her Diamond now!  That’s going to screw  with his self-image even more, since he associates diamondhood with  nothing but bad stuff.

I don’t want to make this all about his issues.  He killed  someone, and I don’t know how to process that yet.  This is such a  complicated thing.  He’s done something horrible.  Accidentally, yes,  but…still.  It’s going to take me some time to really process that this  went down.    How are the other Gems going to react?  This is  crazy.  What a turn this has taken.  And it occurs to me as I write this  that the last four episodes will probably deal with closing Jasper’s  arc, too!  It’s about damn time, I think.  Time to break her of her  notions about her place in the world.

What’s not complicated is how good this episode was.  Fragments comes in at my new #2 for Season 6 (between Bismuth Casual and Snow Day) and my new #7 overall (between Last One Out of Beach City and Reunited).   That marks the third episode of Future to crack my top ten.  This  season has had some low lows, but holy hell, when it’s on its game it’s  on its goddamn game.  I’m looking forward to seeing if the last four episodes can do the same.

The  last four episodes.  We’re almost done with Steven Universe.  For real,  this time.  Last time I thought it was over…well, those were real tears  I cried.  I don’t know how I’m going to react this time.  But…I’m sure  it’ll be a hell of a ride.

The last four episodes air tonight, but  we’re taking a short break from Steven Universe for a few days.  I’m  going to do an episode of She-Ra next.  I need the break, and some time  to process this.  Episode 11 of She-Ra will begin on Monday.

As  for streams, we’re a few streams into Nier so far, and I’m enjoying it,  mostly!  I don’t know if I have a stream in me tonight, but you’ll get a  notification on here and the community Discord server if I do.  If I  don’t stream tonight, I will probably stream tomorrow, but the  new Borderlands 3 DLC came out this week and my buddy Eddie and I may be  playing through it over the weekend.  You can click here for my Twitch channel, or click here for the playlist of Nier streams I’ve done so far.

I’ll  see you wherever you plan to tune in, and thank you for continuing to  support me!  The amount of support you guys have shown after I asked for  more patrons has been wonderful.  Thank you guys so, SO much.  That’s  going to give me some room to start saving up money, I think.

Anyways, until next time!  See you there!
