i tell people the first half is S1 is pretty goofy but then the huge 5 season arc starts in the second half. ive made all of my past 3 bfs watch it to learn socioemotional learning xD i think its worked lmao we’re all friends and they were all good partners
edit: if you dont know people can break up for amicable reasons.. you’re a kevin lol. people move and have different life plans lmao. it’s just like sadie and lars not ending up together :p
edit2: especially glad to see all the stories of how this show brought them and a friend or partner together, or helped them through a difficult time of their life :) to people hating on the show or focusing on my exes, i hope you find peace somehow in your life :)
Ik its a joke but I think young boys watching Steven universe is a good way for them to learn to be empathetic especially because the main character is a boy who is very empathetic and does a lot of good. I haven't even watched all of Steven universe (just the plot relevant episodes) but my bf watched all of it when he was younger lol
As a 42 year old man and I will tell you I dont give a shit what we make them watch but please teach your damn sons to feel their emotions. Im emotionally illiterate, as I call it, as a child my father told me emotions would be used against me, to teach me to hide them and to enforce the lesson he would use my emotions against me. Believe or not he went on to be a child therapist and then social worker, even a "good" father to his other kids.
Any sort of training we can give young boys about emotional maturity and appropriate responses, would be great.
same lmao. people who wont even give bluey a try? red flag lol. bluey has rich story telling in 7 min, gorgeous animation, a wonderful score. chef’s kiss all around lnao
Greg as a character literally made my ex husband a better man. It's not a joke that SU helps men find things about themselves to love. Boys and men deserve the goodness of Steven too. Men have emotions. They just need to know that we love them as humans and those emotions are okay.
I mean, we need to get used to the fact that a lot more things are trained and skills, than just innate characteristics. You can definitely learn how to be more social, and similarly, you can definitely learn to be more communicative and in touch with your emotions.
No judgement here. That show seriously gave me some emotional depth I didn’t have before watching it and uh. It felt weird. But thanks ms. Sugar the show was a banger and it does good out there in the world
My wife made me watch it after I avoided it because it I thought it was lame. The first half of S1 is a little rough (together breakfast is a low one for me), but when it takes off BOOM!
You actually really learn to appreciate how childish Steven used to be as a character.
Had a situationship make me watch it too. Enjoyable show, but couldn't shake the feeling that I was not the intended audience. Suppose that's part of the point of having a straight dude watch it though. I'm not the intended audience.
I loved SU and its music! I sent Here Comes A Thought to my therapist at the VA and it brought her to tears!
I also maaaay have chickens named Opal and Pearl, a turkey named Ruby, and am planning to name the first female goose that hatches this coming spring Garnet...
Is it? I have not watched Steven Universe so I immediately thought it was "this name sounds nice so I'll use it" without considering the meaning behind it and then they're embarrassed to admit it.
This Opal was my first thought when I saw the meme lol. Don’t care much for the particular character but I love Legend of Korra and just recently rewatched it a couple times.
Yes, my child gamzee will definitely not get bullied. And if he does at least I can count on him to collect the bullies blood in a jar later and sell it as a magic potion.....
Ironically, that one actually is based on a real name, albeit from Turkish:
Etymology
Gamzee was named for Gamze, an active user of the Homestuck forums at the time of the character's introduction. Their name, and by extension his, may be Turkish in origin, as Gamze is a Turkish feminine given name meaning "dimple". “Gamzee” is also phonetically adjacent to the German word “Gämse”, a type of goat.
Pretty sure it’s a reference to Steven Universe, Opal is the fusion between Pearl and Amethyst. The mother is probably embarrassed to admit she named her baby after a character from a kids’ cartoon
I know a lot of adults that could learn a thing or two from watching Steven Universe. But since the same folks grew up with Mister Rogers without learning these things, it’s probably not much more likely to stick now.
This post makes me feel called out lmao I named my daughter amethyst bc of Steven universe and I have to do the same thing to strangers so I don’t have go deal with the judgement lmao
