Thankfully we’re past the time when DYKSU fans would directly harass them over stuff they saw on DYKSU, but they’re still getting a lot of harassment over other SU stuff. And that’s gotta stop. Here are some things to remember:
- The crew members are human beings. What you’re saying can hurt them, and they don’t deserve that.
- Steven Universe is a cartoon. It’s really not worth harassing anyone over. Seriously.
- Steven Universe is a cartoon for kids. If you’re wondering why certain ships aren’t canon or why Steven has decided against shattering the Diamonds, remember that Steven Universe is a show for kids on a network for kids. They’re currently only able to do so much in terms of LGBT pairings (and what they HAVE done is already a hell of a lot), and the show has to have a positive outlook because it’s for kids.
- The crew hate the leaks as much as we do. Even more so, I imagine. But if there was anything they could do about them they’d have stopped by now. Try to ignore them as best you can, and don’t harass the crew over them. And whether you watch leaked episodes or not, please actually watch the show on Cartoon Network when it airs - I can’t express how important this is.
Long story short - just calm down and quit harassing people who make the cartoons you enjoy.
And yes, I am writing this because of what people have been saying to Lauren Zuke over twitter (harassment over shipping and leaks, from what I’ve seen), which eventually provoked her into shutting down her twitter account.
Zuke is personally one of my favourite crew members (alongside Hilary Florido), and it’s awful to see that people are treating her like this. None of the crew members deserve this.
At the moment Zuke clearly wants some space, which is understandable and I’m sure she needs it. If she does choose to come back, please show her some support and think twice before sending any more hate.
That really goes for all crew members - show your support, quit the harassment.
Steven Universe: Diamond Days concludes with an amazing hour long special event tonight,January 21st at 7:00pm on Cartoon Network!
Been posting these promos over on twitter for the past couple weeks. This run of episodes was such a wonderful bunch to work on, and the whole crew put so much into the finale. Don’t miss it!
Whoa! It’s a brand new Steven Universe half-hour special – BISMUTH! Storyboarded by Katie Mitroff,Lamar Abrams,Colin Howard,and Jeff Liu, and lovingly crafted by the entire Crewniverse!
So…that finally was just great! Definitely tears were shed. However, I just wanna let y'all know that I highly DOUBT that truly is the last we’ll see of the series.
There’s so much potential for graphic novels and spin-offs alone. But something that I’d like to remind everyone about is that…well…its Cartoon Network. So there’s no way this’ll be all they have in store for SU.
Any Ben 10 fan should know how much this network will be willing to not only give more for the sake of profit, but to milk the franchise for all its worth. However! I think CN will go a different route. Maybe they won’t reboot or retcon or anything for SU, but definitely something will be done for the future. So here are some things that I think will likely show in some spinoff series.
1. Connverse Kid(s). Maybe with or without the gem. Maybe this could be a surprise for the character.
2. More hybrids from different sorts of gems and humans.
3. Perhaps a conflict could stem from those hybrids, humans, and natural gems. Maybe the Gem War II.
4. Steven himself might be missing ala Grandpa Max/Luke Skywalker style. Or the og Crystal Gems.
5. New protagonist group with new gems and humans.
6. WHATS IN THE CHEST might be revealed.
7. Cameos for sure. Especially Lars and the Off Colors, Crystal Gems, and Diamonds.
8. Maybe a new threat from another race or all previously conquered alien races.
Etc, etc. I ak positive this will not be it for the Crewniverse. But still, big ups and thank you to em for SU.
Aww. It’s super cute they included them in there!! <3
person on the right is definitely not rebecca. i dont think they’re supposed to be anyone in the crew
Yep, you’re right that it’s not Rebecca, though it is a Crew person, it’s Angie Wang. Woop woop! @cheesykittenaskscreener @nitethekitten @cheesy-kitten-liveblogs
