No joke wished we got an Obsidian Steven.

Seeing Pearl shpaeshift is honestly one of the biggest things so far. Shapshifting is something she stopped doing after having to shift into Rose. It means she's healing and im so happy for her.

What hit me the most was when he denied the Together Breakfast. “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY?!”

*"vegetarian for a month!"* say that again? he ate pumpkin i knew it

I think his voice doesnt regress cause he doesnt see himself as that age so it's just his form that's changing.

I feel bad for steven. The whole adult mindset hit him way too early.

PLEASE AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEE THAT STEVEN DOESN'T HAVE STAR EYES ANYMORE ? that's so sad i miss him...

All I want to do Is see you turn into A giant Steven A giant Steven

I know this isn't a fusion... But Sapphire as Steven was the cutest thing ever ◇^◇

The reason his voice didn't change is because in this episode he simply shape-shifted his body to be smaller, he didn't actually get younger. In 'So Many Birthdays' his mental state was causing him to PHYSICALLY AGE, an ability that is entirely different to shape-shifting.

"Target audience of 6-11 year olds" *looks worriedly at tumblr and reddit*

Pearl 5 years ago: *i won’t turn into Steven* Pearl now: eh what the heck I’ll do it

Everyone : We want to see pearl steven Rebecca sugar : I'll do you 5 better

it's pretty amazing how Pearl's first shapeshift form after 6,000 years is *Steven.*

Steven's voice doesn't change because he was shapeshifting, not ageshifting.

During the whole episode i went: PEARL SHAPESHIFTED PEARL SHAPESHIFTED PEARL SHAPESHIFTED PEARL SHAPESHIFTED PEARL SHAPESHIFTED PEARL SHAPESHIFTED *P E A R L S H A P E S H I F T E D*

They don’t just hold bubbles gems in the temple. They also store weapons like the shooting star. Maybe those are non sentient gems being bubbled.

I think steven is actually growing and becoming a diamond himself hes always busy now and doesnt have time to do something he likes and because hes no longer a kid

what about when pearl is tagged, she looks like she was when she was stabbed by holo pearl

I like to think that Steven's voice doesn't regress because he hasn't had his maturity regress with his form, where his voice only seemed to change when he felt more or less mature, because this time it's a forced change in shape

*Panda Pearl*

Sardonyx Steven is my favorite, but I love that Garnet "unfused' for the game, and how happy Ruby was that Sapphire was the one that beat Steven.

Steven’s character growth throughout the whole series has really surprised me. I remember find him very annoying in the first few seasons (notably in Together Breakfast, where he was practically painful to watch for me). I think I really started to appreciate Steven’s character after he gave himself up to homeworld, showing a truly selfless side in a character I viewed as kind of selfish. Now as a 16 year old, his growth up until now is truly inspiring

The era of Cookie cats and cheeseburger backpacks had finally came to an end. Young Steven is not so young anymore. This also, reminds me of how much the diamonds treated Pink like a child and how much Pink**(Thank you BLUEYcraft) wanted them to stop treating her as such and stop coddling her.

Garnet and Pearl usually waste their fusion powers by not using them for anything even when there is a deadly situation.

It’s like when your parents don’t want you to grow up.. The gems love him and treat him like a young kid but he is just growing up..

Why is everybody tripping? This kid has been through a lot.

This also could be a good letter to Zach Collison showing fans he's a young adult and even though he's still on the show he is exploring other things.

In the BlueBird Steven still used the hot dog duffel bag but now he doesn’t use the cheeseburger backpack WHAT!!!!

No one is talking about how Steven never caught the Slinker?

Garnet when Steven said I don.t need my cheeseburger back pack : not again like when I found cat steven

steven in snow day is like an everyday adult male with 5 kids. he's got too much work, someone has to pay the bills, he wakes up early and only has like one drink for the WHOLE day.and let's not forget he's sleep deprive. all he needs now is a beard.

For someone who was about 9 years old when SU came out this episode really hit me hard. I remember being in elementary school and watching SU. I wasn't stressed and I was pretty much like Steven. Now I'm a sophmore in high school who has a really busy schedule and is stressed all the time. I think this episode was for the younger fans who basically grew up with this series and who are now like Steven. Stressed and grown up. Teenagers.

It’s good when a kids show grows with their audience

"if you haven't seen it yet" I laughed so much to this because I watched the episode so many times on repeat when it was released to KZfaq, I probably watched it a good 20 times in one sitting because it's just so great of an episode, seeing the gems and Steven indulging in some good old fashioned fun without it just being a filler episode thanks to the moral

no im not crying over the fact stevens almost an adult blue diamond is just in the room

The look they gave Steven after Pearl shapeshifted tho

Nobody: No one: Awestruckvox: WELCOMEBACKTOCRYSTALCLEAR

I feel like they uncorrupted the crystal gems first, and then they decided to fix the home world gems slowly

I howled when steven said "Et Tu, little steven?" Pulling out ol' Billy Shakes

This was depressingly realistic It shows that not even cartoon characters like Steven can avoid growing up it is...inevitable.

question : remember “together breakfast” episode when steven went into the temple ? isn’t there some really dangerous gem holding together the temple or something ?

I liked Sardonyx Steven

I think Steven doesn’t change his voice because he has a better grasp in shapeshifting

When Steven ignored the cheeseburger backpack I almost cried😭

Even if steven is older i still think he's adorable

The fact that Steven HAS A SKINCARE ROUTINE

When Steven shapeshifts into his younger form, he doesn't FEEL like he's that age. He still feels like his adult age, and even makes a point out of that. It's logical for him to keep his regular voice.

Moral of the episode? *deal with the neck*

Steven :rejects the cheese burger backpack Me:NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

watching steven go through this depressing adult aspect is seriously a big mood. when he sat down with a day planner and sticky notes *I F E L T T H A T*

Apparently Steven is 17 now according to the fandom wiki

He also didn’t wake up from a cookie cat alarm clock

When Pearl Gave Steven His Winter Clothes It Reminded Me Of My Mom. She Always Gives Me So Much Clothes And Scarfs. It's Too Much Scarfs, Man!

1. Whatever "benefits" they may have, I'm never sacrificing my meals for protein shakes. Plus, who knows if all that along with Steven's emotional stress will do more harm than good to him. 2. Something tells me the Gems will still hang on to the backpack...just in case Steven tries to rekindle his youthful optimism. 3. While I CAN accept the fact that Steven is older now, being 16 does not classify someone as an adult...at least, not legally. As for the "adult cynicism we're all doomed to inherit..." I just turned 34 two days ago and I STILL hold on to my inner child. Much like with Steven; my own family often looks to MY optimistic nature, whenever life gets hard for them. If you choose to forsake optimism and playfulness for the hollow life of "adulthood." Then...you're doomed to be miserable for the rest of your days. 4. After hearing those examples of past episode moment, I can understand why Steven's a vegetarian now. But after the mention of Guidance, this choice of his doesn't feel all that authentic. My elder sister has been a vegan since I was a teenager and though she (probably) chose to do so for the same reasons Steven did, it hasn't helped her healthwise. She's often sluggish and gets sick rather easily on occasion, as a result to such a lifestyle choice. While Steven isn't fully human, I still feel that being vegan could hurt his human side; in some way. I WILL say this, though...Morningstar foods and Bocca Burgers are a rather good substitute for meat (in terms of taste.) 5. While it IS true that most stuff for little ones isn't all that entertaining (looking at you, Dora.) That still doesn't mean that ALL "kid stuff" can't appeal to adults. Look at me, I still watch classic cartoons and Disney/Animated films while also indulging in current animation. 6. Skin care IS important...but loads of people have careers that involve putting on masks that might be "harmful" to the skin. Such examples include party clowns, jesters at Renaissance Faires, actors and of course, musicians (KISS being a high example of that.) 7. Now that Pearl no longer feels nervous towards Shapeshifting. I wonder if she'll ever give eating a try, considering how she kept away from both due to memories of Pink Diamond/Rose? Also...I want to see the whole "THE POWER OF STEVEN TAG COMPELS ME" thing on a shirt now. 8. No matter what age you are, there's no such thing as "being too old" to play "childish games." Any grandparent, KZfaq Let's Player, D&D Dungeon Master, LARPing session manager, magician, actor and party clown can tell you that. 9. It's not that I don't see Steven as a teen. It's that he seems to have gotten rid of the parts of his personality that Gems were drawn to in the first place; his optimism, hopefulness, his friendly nature, his playful side. It was these parts of him that inspired the likes of Peridot, Lapis and Bismuth to join his ranks. If he disposes these parts of himself, what chance does he have of helping other Gems? These are just my two cents on every point the episode touched upon and you're welcome to disagree, if you like. But I hope you'll be able to see where I'm coming from. My philosophy is and always shall be "you're only as old as you feel." Even when I'M in my 50's, I'll still be playful ol' Big Al. I look to him, whenever adult life on the farm gets too much. I hope Steven will come to realize that...before it's too late

I think Steven's waking-up time is supposed to be related to symbolic numbers. 7:13 - with 7 being a known lucky number, and 13 being a known unlucky number No sure what the metaphorical meaning here is, though

The Steven Tag could go like; someone is 14 year old Steven, and as soon as the game progresses, and mostly likely everyone is Steven, someone becomes 16 year old Steven, and the game continues then, and then when everyone is tagged game over. There can be more rules, like adult Steven hah

The backpack is the thing that also broke my heart.

Something I immediately notices but haven’t seen people talk about is when Pearl gets tagged, her reaction pose is similar to Gohan’s transformation into Super Saiyan 2.

Apparently Steven has turned 17 by this episode.

*_[It was AWESOME! Steven Ruby is the most superior ruby!! WE RUBIES FROM THE RUBY SQUAD MUST TEACH BASEBALL!!!]_*

You know it’s gonna be a good video when he starts with *WELCOME TO CRYSTAL CLEAR* he’s so hyped and I love it

I ieve that Steven is a vegetarian bc he has healing spit, he'll accidentally heal the meat.

"Steven uNiverse Future" you made an oopsie guys

Very surprised he didn't mention that steven bloody hit all of them with the bubble gloves

6:18 elbows

Steven: rejects cheese burger backpack Me and other SU fans: Depression

Forget fusions, Ruby, Sapphire, and especially Pearl Steven sold it for me. I screamed when Pearl changed. So happy.

*[Ok, time for my gigantic review of the episodes]* Okay, the first part of Snow Day intrigued me a little, because it showed how much Steven matured, how much he changed, and it made me a little sad. Like, he doesn't care much about the cheeseburger backpack, doesn't want to have breakfast with the gems, and he didn't even laugh at the amethyst's joke. Then, throughout the episode, I began to see interesting things. In addition to having the return of pike-Steven, we saw that the Pearl can change shape. And like, that was amazing. But then, the game started to be when the Crystal gems had to appeal to the merger, which, by the way, is a concept that evolved in this episode, because, in addition to merging in the game, they retained the shape of 14-year-old Steven. Towards the end, I found the moment quite cute and reflective, because we realized that gems miss how Steven was in the past, how he was before. So in the end, he just understood that they miss old Steven]*

I mean "cry for help" was aired July 13... 7/13 Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!

*"I thought we were in the Pepperoni Timeline"*

I really liked Sardondx Steven and Sugilite Steven

For when Garnet (Steven) gets out of the Basement, I think that it’s a callback to Catch and Release when Steven asks Rose’s Room if he could go down to the basement. The real basement.

No wonder Steven’s been so down, he doesn’t eat meat anymore. Have you ever met a HAPPY vegetarian or vegan?

Steven's voice probably didnt alter because it changes based on how he feels, he didnt _feel_ like a kid, he just looked like one

I miss young Steven so much but, we can't stay young for long right? I like where his character development is going.

in before title change

This was honestly my favorite episode by far . I relate so much . School starting up again life going so fast but routine . But you always have those days that change everything 💕

I’m not going to lie, it slightly broke my heart when Steven hit the gems with the bubble boxing gloves.

This moral kinda makes me think of my grandma. All my cousins, brother and I are grown up and don't like the same things we did as kids. Grandma has had a few rants over the years that she wasn't ready for us to grow up so quickly.

Me: *sees Sugilite Steven* Me: WHAT Me: wait garnet is a fusion Everyone: *face palms*

I think it’s still weird to see some of the Courrupted gems in the Burning room “aka The bubble room,aka Garnet’s room”

I think the scene where they were all rolling down the snowy hill could've been a reference to the snowy hill scene in Wolf Children because the movements were similar

R.I.P cute Stevan

Well I mean he's 17 in this episode so he's basically a college student

Snow Day Steven Tag: *Pearls nose being in every shapeshift and fusion

When I first saw alexandrite Steven I thought it was a fluorite Steven fusion.

Pearl Steven: *The power of Steven Tag compels me!*

The other lapis lazulis are basicly "hi school musical movie villans"... ...and i love it

I really loved this episode. It held a lot of meaning to it and shows how much Steven has grown.

Amazing episode, my favorite!

uNiverse

oh yea and MERRY CHRISTMAS ROUNDTABLE.

Snow day has one of the best learned lessons because both parties learn something. Steven learns to have more fun, while the gems learn to treat him as more mature. It doesn't just teach one party to try and adapt to the other, but rather makes balance between them that'll likely be much more stable.

Classic Steven: Full spirit and energetic Movie Steven: Warm hearted and caring Future Steven: Wants to grow up and get his life over with

Every last episode of Steven Universe Future has been literal gold up to this point.

Something that’s actually interesting is Steven actually IS almost an adult (in the legal sense, at least) being 17. He’s not even 16 anymore, it makes sense that he’s a bit more abrasive and tires easily, no longer wanting to be treated like a child

OPAL WAS IN THIS EPISODE

I’ll be honest this might be my favorite episode of future simply because it made me laugh so much, and Steven’s expressions throughout the entire thing are just so great. It makes me really happy so it’s my personal favorite.

He sneaking off to see Connie who he dates now but don’t want the gems to know @theroundtable
