" I think WE can win... I think YOU can win... Earth is our home                           now! Isn't it worth fighting for?"
Hello! My name is Amanda and I am huge SU trash!        I'm not really that much out of the ordinary; I mean- I'm pretty boring, if anything.. I'm just your average local dork who's extremly awkward and is a huge nerd. so here, have some boring facts about me: -I'm a Digital Artist and Video Editor -I underwent Spinal Fusion July, 2016 because I had Scoliosis -I've been dancing for eleven years now. - I still like cartoons :P And uhhh yeahh... I'm literally so boring that I can't even think about what else to write. Favorite Episodes: I am a huge dork for SU.. So what better way is there other than sharing my favorite episodes with other huge dorks for SU? - [Gem|Mirror Gem] and [Gem|Ocean Gem] were amazing episodes! They introduced my all time favorite character in this show: [Lazuli|Lapis Lazuli]. Despite Lapis being the first Homeworld Gem we met, her introduction, along with[| Peridot] 's, was absolutely stunning. Lapis was the first character to give the viewer a sense of adredaline, meeting this unknown gem. It was amazing how much expression and effort was put into these two episodes. - [Tour|Warp Tour]: Oh come on, you knew this one was coming up next... This episode, from the very beginning was bone chilling. We see a side of [|Steven] we've never seen before. How restless and determined in this episode took many viewers by surprise. And literally the fact that he protests and fights with[| Pearl] out of all gems shows how determined he really was. Not only this part was great but- you guessed it: [|Peridot] 's introduction was amazing. From the eerie music to the bone chilling animation, this scene gave the viewer a sense of climax and panic. - [the Run|On the Run] was more of a suttle episode, but it gives tremendous backgroud on [|Amethyst] 's part. Steven Universe is the type of show that deals with conflicts in today's society whether or not it has to do with emotions or physical issues. And in this episode, we witness one of the four most important characters in this show's feelings of the past. It's truely hard to watch, but we get a better understanding of both Pearl and Amethyst. ((Not to mention their cute little hugging moment.)) - [Break|Jail Break] has to be on any Steven Universe Fan's list. I mean- this is the episode where we get a better understanding on all characters, especially [|Garnet]. This is the episode where it is revealed that she's a fusion between two beautiful gems named [|Sapphire] and [|Ruby]. <p style="text-align:center;">- [Tid|Chille Tid] was the episode where the viewer got a sense of the disfunctional toxic feeling of [|Malachite]. It showed the emotional struggles of hatred between both Lapis and [|Jasper]. This gives the viewer an understanding on why Malachite was such an unstable fusion. <p style="text-align:center;">- [for Help|Cry for Help] introduced my all time favorite fusion [|Sardonyx]. It also showed how Amethyst felt about [|Sugilite], and how she felt she needed to use Garnet to make her feel strong and whole. <p style="text-align:center;">- [It Rains|When it Rains][and Release|]is a huuuge one. In this episode, the viewer gets only the slightest peek of Peridot's lovely character development and redemption. [|The Crewniverse] did an amazing job showing just how terrifiying it was for Peridot to adapt to this strange good for nothing planet called "Earth"... <p style="text-align:center;">- [Date 7 15 2|Log Date 7 15 2] has to be an episode that any Peridot fan loves, including me. We get a sense on how Peridot is beginning to change and learn more about Earth, and y'know.. Manners, [Pining Hearts|Camp Pining Hearts], N' Stuff... <p style="text-align:center;">- [Drill|Gem Drill] gives the final idea of the cluster actually looked like, and the actual subtext behind it. It gave the amazing theme of being there for one another and a sense of friendship. <p style="text-align:center;">- '''[Mates|Barn Mates] has to be my all time favorite episode. '''We get a better understanding on both Peridot and Lapis' relationship in this episode; and the fact that Peridot truly has changed and wants Lapis to understand that, This being hard, since Lapis was originally used by Peridot as her informant. This episode includes my favorite scene of all time in this entire show. That scene being the scene where Peridot says these words: " You're alone! No one could possibly know what that feels like! Oh wait... I do! We"re the same! Except... You.. Don't have to be alone." This line is so important. It truly explains how Peridot, herself, felt throughout her experience on Earth, and the fact that she wants to explain to another gem who is in the same position that she is not alone in this. <p style="text-align:center;">- [at Sea|Alone at Sea] dove even further into Lapis and Jasper's relationship. Showing just how unhealthy Malachite was for BOTH of them. This unstable fusion left them both extremely hurt. And Jasper actually asks Lapis to fuse with her again. This leaves Lapis to stand up to Jasper and explain to her that what they had was not healthy. <p style="text-align:center;">- [|Beta]: Despite Amethyst's rage and sorrow against Jasper, the beginning of this episode showed just how much stronger the emotional bond between Lapis and Peridot got. Despite most of this strengthening happening off screen, (( disappointing not just me, but a lot of viewers )) it was very entertaining to watch these two address [Morps|Meep Morps],  Camp Pining Hearts Addictions, and Music to Amethyst and Steven. This all gets disturbed by Amethyst 's anger and sorrow about Jasper. (( Or as Peridot addresses it around Lapis ''The J Word")) Peridot then wants to convince Amethyst that she' s better than her and takes her and Steven to the Beta Kindergarten  (( where Jasper was made )) only to just actually run into Jasper. <p style="text-align:center;">- [for Ruby|Room for Ruby] dives even more into Lapis' feelings. It shows just how unsettled Lapis really is with Earth, and is very irritated to see just how easy it is for another Homeworld Gem to settle in. (([(Navy)|Navy.])) <p style="text-align:center;">- [the Barn|Raising the Barn]  dived even MORE further into Peridot and Lapis' relationship. In this episode, we see that Lapis is panicking about Steven escaping from Blue and Yellow Diamond. She then immediately decides that her and Peridot need to leave Earth right away to escape before another war. The fact that Lapis wanted Peridot to come with her symbolically explained that Lapis didn't want Peridot to get caught up in a war either. Throughout the episode it is truly shown how much they both care about each other. Examples: '' There, now we can bring our whole life with us. You, me and all of our things." - Lapis "She"s been through so much.. She needs consistency." Later in the episode, it is revealed that Peridot didn't want to leave Earth but was trying to emotionally force herself because "Lapis needed her." She then stands up to Lapis and tries to convince her to stay and fight with her for their home. Saying the line " I think WE can win. I think YOU can win. Earth is our home now.. Isn't it worth fighting for?" But is then rejected by Lapis. Lapis then flies away with the barn in her possession, hesitating one last time, looking back at Peridot, Pumpkin and Steven, until hitching her breath, fighting back tears, flying away. <p style="text-align:center;">- [Killer|Sadie Killer] was an amazing episode! Not to mention the amazing song sung by her called " Working Dead."
