Annieme

William Timmins

Broody Gaming

High key embarrassed how quick I dropped everything to come see this hahaha 😂

BigPoppaJohn89

im actually slow clapping at you for figuring out that Garnet is a fusion lol

Tasia Cooper

*You and Elijah being cute* Me: “Stop being Gay and get to the Gay stuff!!!”

Kayla Wolf

Had a feeling you were going to guess it when Ruby appeared. Also you picked up on so much foreshadowing in previous episodes (Garnet having two gems, her line about fusion being so easy for them etc) yet each time came to the wrong conclusion. And now you know why Garnet was so happy when meeting Stevonnie! And I died laughing when you said she couldn't be a fusion when you saw their gems.

Someday Sera

gonna be agony...it'll be what...15 months or so till we get there?

Auronyx Art

This is the best thing I’ll wake up to besides Christmas! Thank you Mosco <3

Kyle Murrell

You can see ruby and sapphires silhouette in an earlier episode. If you go back to the episode where alexandrite is stevens mom and with connies parents and they unfuse and pause. You can see the silhouettes of all the gems forming alexandrite and that includes ruby and sapphire.

PinkPonytail _Girl

Garnet being a fusion is one of the only things that I believe can be predicted in all of Steven Universe. Other than that I don't remember being able to predict much else in terms of BIG twists. And that is what I love about Steven Universe. You can't predict things as easily, but than upon a rewatch you can see it all coming in hindsight. ❤❤❤

Marcy Wu

I honestly find it hilarious that the character Sapphire is sapphic.

Nuk Limpear

The reaction is over an hour long. Hell yes.

Someday Sera

The just...aggressive sass of Garnet's song in jailbreak is glorious, the lyrics are so good.

deny

IM TELLING U U WILL BE SHOCKED BUT CHECK THE EPISODE WHERE ALL GEMS FUSE TO ACT AS STEVENS "MOM" IN FRONT OF CONNIE'S MOM, and PAUSE THE SECOND THEY UNFUSE (YOU CAN SEE SAPPHIRE AND RUBY)

Rob Bob

Garnet is my favorite couple

xman t

Interesting detail: proper stable fusions (like garnet, stevonnie, opal, etc) have their own voice and their own personality. That's kind of what garnet meant when she told stevonnie "you are not two people, and you are not one person. You are an experience." Meanwhile, unstable fusions (like the lapis and jasper fusion or when opal unfused after saying she didnt get the beetle in Giant Woman) don't have their own voice. It's both of the individual gems' voices on top of each other.

Cass

Just on the idea saying Rose having a kid being super irresponsible, I don't remember how long it was since the last big battle rose was at but if she assumes Steven would eventually be as powerful as her, it's pretty outside odds to worry about something major going down in the relatively short time he's a kid

deny

WILL BE WORTH IT

Gone

What a great way to kick off my holiday vacation.

Someday Sera

I saw this and sinsmas had uploaded at the same time, and I chose this, that's how excited I've been.

Craig Rangoon

It's a love song with the confidence of a breakup revenge song, AND a dis track!

Luke Murphy

This is just head cannon but I think it stands up. I always thought the closer the gems are to each other the smaller the fusion. Fewer arms and eyes be ause they are united in purpose.

Albedo12

Since it was skipped, for the curious, the end credits "music" for "The Return" is just static - except for near the end where a single word breaks through: "LOVE". Oh, and if you want to hear any more of that song from the "Jailbreak" credits, you're gonna have to stop skipping.

Albedo12

Up till now, fusions we've seen have been about love, trust, friendship and/or a common goal. Jasper/Lapis is what I like to call a hate fusion.

LikeCat

Sinsmas was (without spoiling stuff) a ride. SO. MUCH. STUFF. HAPPEMNED. I cannot contain myself.

Kieran Shae Reacts

I'm so happy you finally got to this episode. Ruby might be my favorite gem, I feel she and Sapphire are very Blitz and Stolas.

Mittens Zora

Our beloved 2 lesbians in a trenchcoat who we never see again. I can’t wait for you to see that some townspeople are also fusions, specifically one that’s very interested in aliens and weird stuff…

Link Chowschne

This show is how I discovered Estelle. "Stronger Than You" is SUCH A BANGER! Glad you liked it. <3 Sapphic love <3

Daphne O'Reilly

Wholesome, I was familiar with Estelle American boy, use to play that song all the time D.L. Hughley Station. Love her voice

Matrim

Garnet is the most useful of sapphics.

I Create Myself

I'm so excited to watch this, and thrilled it happened to be released on my birthday! Thanks for the birthday gift Mosco! Now I'm off to watch...

Markus Erdt

And with that we are through the introduction to the show. Time to start the actual story. ^^

Panic Blitz

I woke up to see both this and the Helluva Boss finale ready to watch, and I came here first.

Matrim

If she keeps up the twice a week reactions it’ll be in 23 weeks. If not…well…

Matrim

In general the more compatible the gems, the more stable the fusion, and the more stable the fusion the more their design reflects that (Garnet being the most stable fusion we’ve seen just looks like another gem, while Alexandrite just looks wild because she’s not particularly stable). It’s incredibly hard to knock Garnet out of her fusion, but Sugalite could get knocked out with a simple blow because she’s less stable, and Alexandrite essentially has to work to hold her fusion at all because they naturally tend to diverge. And fusion is a metaphor for relationships (romantic, sexual, familial, and platonic at different points), so it stands to reason that stable relationships can withstand more without falling apart.

Tricimir *

So... this reminds me of a fan artwork I'm sure I'll never find again. Try and imagine Ruby riding on Amethyst's shoulders with Sapphire trying desperately to rein them both in and you might be able to see why their fusion can get a little out of control.... Incidentally..... you now know that the crystal gems are composed of 4 child-sized munchkins with Pearl towering over all of them.

A Magic Duck

Lapis might just be the most tragic character in all of Steven Universe. And yes, I’m including THAT one. She was trapped as a mirror for thousands of years. Then returned home and got a terrible homecoming. Then she was bound into what might be the most toxic relationship of all time. And yes, fusion is a metaphor for intimacy and the fusion of Jasper and Lapis is basically a toxic, abusive relationship. Lapis is the saddest blue character in all of Steven Universe. And yes, I’m including THAT one.

CaptainChar

Wait till you see the one where Greg fuses with Amethyst

Spadeas

Finally, here is the finale of season 1 and if you are already impressed by this one, can't wait for the final episodes of the other seasons. Generally speaking, if I remember correctly, the beginnings, middles and ends of the season are really the BIG episodes quite heavy in lore and drama, so start getting used to it.

A Magic Duck

I shouldn’t comment at work. This is what happens. Thanks.

Sanmei

This! The ending theme has been constantly evolving over time. The end of Jailbreak is actually the twelfth iteration! And that's actually Rebecca Sugar singing, too...

Sanmei

I highly suggest making listening to the ending theme a regular part of the Patreon reaction. There are 36 different iterations of the ending song and this was number 12. When we finish the series, there's a video compilation of every single iteration played back to back that works out to about 11 and a half minutes.

Gab Gab

What did Elijah say at 45:14?

Gab Gab

Fusion can be intimacy, but it's also just love in general. As it said in Garnet's song. "I am made of love" So yes, it can be intimacy, but it's not always. There are many reasons to fuse and intimacy is just one of them

Rando_mIndividual

Ngl I SCREAMED internally when I saw this upload- I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

I Create Myself

You will see Ruby and Sapphire again. Mid season two they have an argument and unfuse. Ruby goes to stay in the barn where Peridot now lives. The rest of the season has a "roommates who can't stand each other end up a couple" story line. That season finale is when they ultimately fuse into Citrine.

I Create Myself

"That's why she only has 2 arms, 'cause they're always holding hands."

JAILBREAK REACTION ON MY BIRTHDAYYYY YESS

Gab Gab

Oh my god that is such an adorable way of looking at it

Tricimir *

There are SO many little hints about Sapphire and Ruby. In the intro when they show each of the crystal gems with their names, a shooting star appears in the sky behind them. With Garnet, however, it's two. Or my personal favorite, in Fusion Cuisine when they're all fused together into Alexandite when the fusion falls appart there are very briefly 4 silhouettes before 2 of them recombine into Garnet almost immediately. Of course, I say all this but I didn't see any of it coming until we actually met them either.

Willow Arkan

happy birthday, enjoy your adorable lesbian space rocks

Albedo12

i.e. approx the length of an episode.

Willow Arkan

nominative determinism strikes again

Arianod

The foreshadowing is subtle and incredibly well thought of, but not giving Garnet four arms was practically *cheating*, even if they came up for a good lore reason for it. Can't blame Mosco for not getting it.

Liam Gradwell

Jail Break at last. Best Christmas present yet! 🎉🌈🥳❤️💙

Arianod

(Of course, if they had given Garnet four arms *everyone* would have seen it after the Opal reveal. Even Steven would have put two and two together ^^)

Arianod

Jailbreak reaction on the first day of Christmas, HECK YEAH!! :D

Sara

YAAAYYY season 2 is coming and its one of my favorite :)

Porpoise Power

I was cackling a fair bit whenever Mosco would continually talk herself out of it

Porpoise Power

Should put a cam on Elijah... I wanted to see her reaction to Mosco finally realizing what happened, and biting her tongue at other spots.

GhostPuss

If Greg looked sketchy talking about the gem war, it's more that it makes him nervous and anxious. You have to remember that he's not good with gem stuff and he doesn't know where to even begin to address it. Especially during a time he never thought would ever happen. Like the invading gems coming back.

Tintros

YOU TWO ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER!!!!! :)

Lynn

Choked on my coffee when she speculated that Lapis was gonna be happy living on Earth lmao

dannyzee123

Okay, now that you've seen the Jailbreak episode, I can tell you about the hilariously appropriate thing you said last video. You said that Elijah was excited about Jailbreak, so there must be something "sapphic" about it. Not only was that very correct, but one of the gems involved is named Sapphire!

Noire Queen

FINALLY!!! There were many subtle hints and you had it right that Garnet was a fusion but when you dismissed it I was like NO YOU’RE SO CLOSE. But I love your reaction to Jailbreak and I love seeing you and Elijah together in this you guys are cute like Ruby and Sapphire. 💜❤️🩷

Verdant Crown

Steven Universe: The show where your favorite character can also simultaneously be your favorite ship.

peachy af

im so thoroughly impressed with how perceptive you are

Tricimir *

It was my understanding that the more compatible the fusion is, the less extra bits they tend to have. Stevonnie also didn't have extra parts. I think I also remember hearing that specifically when a fusion has extra eyes it means that they literally see the world differently.

Someday Sera

right? at no point did it occur to me two gems might mean two people, I just thought it was a stylistic choice up until...pretty much the reveal. Likewise mosco pretty much sussed out the mechanics of fusion compatibility and how it effects their design and behavior in this episode too, something that took me a lot longer to key in on.

Someday Sera

for those who want to see the shot from fusion cuisine, I found it and posted it on the discord yesterday, it's only a frame or so, but it's clear as day, you see 4 people come out of alexandrite, not three.

Someday Sera

that's...adorable, i don't...think that's correct, but I kind of like that better than...they are just so in sync they fuse into a normal person without little mutations where they differ. I might have to adopt elijah's theory.

Ashley Minor

Now you know why Garnet said fusion is easy for her and why she was so excited when Stevonnie happened

peachy af

if you were to rewatch all of s1, there are a lot of little hints regarding garnet being a fusion :3

Vex Valor

Finally Mosco knows that Garnet is actually two tiny lesbians in a trench coat.

Eliza Rose

I have a memory of this episode where steven leaves his message to Connie and camera pulls back to Connie and her parents standing there, staring at the phone shocked as Steven's message plays. I'm assuming I must have dreamed this because it never happens.

Film Vagabond

It's unfortunate that I can't remember the feeling of seeing the reveal for the first time - feels good to relive it through the eyes of friends

Boo

You mentioned the fury and the patience but I love the next line: I am a conversation Garnet is the two of them basically in harmony and bith taking their role in a conversation that is spoken through one person. Makes me wonder can garnet sit there and have a full conversation with herself but it's just Ruby and Sappire talking

Joey Quixote

I hope you enjoy your rewatch! You are gonna notice SO much stuff now that you know! One of your first SU reactions, you came SO CLOSE to guessing! It was like that scene in a horror movie where the victim is trying to be quiet and still, and the monster passes like an inch from their face! So, going back, one of my favorite scenes in season 1, that gets even funnier in hindsight, is Garnet on the phone with Dr. Maheshwaran. Yes, it's a silly bit of dialogue, but when you realize that was likely brought on by Ruby and Sapphire panicking and not knowing what to say, it's even funnier! Garnet is Garnet. But Garnet is also Ruby and Sapphire. And from here on out, you're gonna be aware of those little moments where it's apparent one is more in control.

Alp

You would not BELIEVE how big this was on tumblr lmao. The insane pop-off after Stronger Than You is actually why I got into SU, I remember going to the blogspot for the free eps and screaming about it on Discord with everyone... Anyway GOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2! AND ALL THE SEASONS AFTER THAT! It's MUCH better paced going forward cause they actually have a nice episode count. IDK why season 1 was 52 episodes but... going forward it's better. Uggghhhhhhhh anyway I'm so glad you got to the finale before Christmas, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it, seeing you experience this for the first time is so nice ;w;

dz1jgmeyer

"Stronger than you" essentially spells out what a Fusion fundamentally is in multiple respects; it's intimacy, it's a dialogue, it's a conversation, it's a feeling... A Fusion, in essence, is the physical manifestation of the relationship between the component gems. It is more than the sum of its parts, but it's fundamentally the result of materializing the psychological and social elements of a relationship as a living being.

Fritz Random

Fun fact (not a spoiler): Lapis and Jasper fused to form Malachite, which turns toxic when it comes into contact with water :)

Chet Bliese

And the lore slaps us in the face. I told you it wasn't an ARMada. Just a hand.

Quinn S.

So yeah Malachite looks like that because she is a very unstable and toxic fusion. It’s heavily implied that the more well balanced and stable a fusion is, the more “normal looking” it is. Hence why Garnet looks the way she looks. The only indication of her being a fusion would be her two gems and her three eyes which are the colors of ruby and sapphire :D We stan our lesbian queens

Rose and Elly

Now that you know, just going to point something out. Stevonie only has two arms. Make of THAT what you will.

Quinn S.

Side note: I was totally sobbing when ruby and sapphire reunited + when Stronger Than You started playing lmaoo

J. Brad Hicks

I want to ask Elijah what it cost her to keep her face straight and keep her mouth shut from about the 29 minute mark onward, because that was *heroic* of her. The song "Stronger than You" hit science fiction fandom like a grenade in a phone booth. It made newspaper headlines in multiple countries. It was how an awful lot of us were introduced to the show.

Tarot-Sovereign

You've finally learned that Garnet is just 2 lesbians in an overcoat.

Markus Erdt

I am a little bit sad that you got the idea for Garnet so early on already thanks to your detective mode. ^^ As Elijah said, everybody else was completely surprised by it since they didn't watch it in detective mode. ^^°

James S

It's here! I was so excited for this too! *hits play*

Nutsy Peanuts

Will Mosco watch the extended version of the opening soon? I hope Mosco does.

Nasir Denny

Now that she knows garnet is a fusion, will she watch the classroom gems to better understand things?

LikeCat

I really hope so. There song that I just sometimes listen to on loop, that one in particular.

Prince Harris

The malachite scene gives me chills every time The pure toxicity is just ugh🥶🥶🥶

A Dead Diehard

And that Toxicity became her undoing. I call it 'System of a Drown'

A Dead Diehard

And now we've reached the start of the "Rose, what the hell?!" arc

LikeCat

Honestly pretty accurate. Even YEARS after the end of the original series, a full movie AND an epilogue mini-series, I STILL sometimes find myself asking that very question.

Kayla Gerber

Fun gem fact, Malachites become toxic when wet because they will leach copper into the water. I always thought it was the perfect analogy for Jasper and Lapis' fusion.

gasoline

it was the episode that convinced me to start watching! unfortunately that meant i went in thinking "garnet is a fusion" was not a secret in the lore and my surprise was that steven didn't already know 😭🤣

Hulk Lover

Tiny and very angry - an accurate description of Ruby

Elias Cristerna

It still trips me out that Jasper has the same VA as Karen Elena Beecher AKA Bumblebee from DC Super Hero Girls (2019), Skara from The Owl House, and Ashley Williams from the Mass Effect Trilogy. Her range is crazy to me.

LikeCat

I was like ,,What the f*** is this? (The original comment)" To my credit I was tired yesterday and totally glossed over THAT part (Your comment)

Judibee

Yes this! Mosco is right - while not always romantic or sexual in nature, fusion is a very intimate thing. It requires sharing the entirety of oneself with another, and Malachite is such a toxic fusion for it.

Judibee

Fr Lynn. I was like, “oh honey… honey, no.” XD

Drizma

10:20 Nah, as long as he doesn't do something stupid, like take advice from Ronaldo or something, he'll be fine. 36:50 That's actually a really good point, when different gem fuse, they gain the arms and eyes of both gems. There's even a fusion later on that just has a pair of gems for eyes.

Drizma

Stronger than you is easily one of the best songs in the show. When I was kid, I liked it so much that i watched it on repeat until I memorized it lol. There's also a version with Peridot singing while she's tied up on youtube. Oh,you'll be able to watch the extended intro now too! That stuff aside, it's a common misunderstanding to think that Ruby ans Saphire are gay. They aren't. Gems are magic based AIs, so they don't have a sex. I imagine part of the confusion comes from them using she/her, but they've been using those words before the English language existed.

Izzy

Oh thats so cool i never knew that!

Albedo12

Couple of folks in here talking about watching the shorts next. They fit better after "Reformed" because of what happens in that episode.

I Create Myself

I had the same reaction! Hello birthday twin. :)

Matthew Palmer

Fantastic reaction, came here to back you on patreon just for this. The voice actress for Garnet is the singer Estelle, who is one Rebecca Sugar’s favourite artists. The fact that she did that and then held off on actually getting her to sing until this moment show just how intricately this show is plotted.

Silvered Fox

I'd wait on the extended intro until either a few episodes in to s2 or after s2 but I do hope she watches it at some point!

Wolfie

Big buff Cheeto puff has appeared

Angelus Lupus

It's okay to be confused on pronouncing Peridot as "Peri dot" cos in the UK it's usually pronounced with a silent 't' the French way "Peri dough" well... something like that anyway!

jonas gustafsson

omg you guys are so sweet i think i have diabetes

Citycrows

I was an og SU fan as a young song was always the top of the “best SU songs tierlist” videos of the esrly 2010s for like 3 more seasons

marauderluverz (Luci)

I remember when I first watched this episode. I never considered that garnet could be a fusion and I had to pause when she refused and I screamed a little and cried because it was so beautiful.

Ferret

And now you know, Garnet isn't high up in the Gem Hierarchy, she is in fact an oppressed minority and also two lesbians in a trenchcoat.

Ferret

I legitimately never thought about Ruby and Sapphire holding hands, I always assumed Garnet had two arms because she's a perfectly stable fusion, same as why Stevonnie only had two.

Ferret

Rose is one of the most interesting character studies I've ever seen because we *start* from the end of her millenia-long character arc, with every other major character having put her on a pedestal, and we get to experience both the destruction of that facade and seeing that character arc fully in reverse.

Gone

I like that the song Sapphire is humming is also the melody of the "I am made of love" refrain from the song Garnet was singing. It's like their theme melody.

Anzac-A1

If I remember, it has to do with the Gems involved being similar/different. Ruby and Sapphire are the same mineral, corundum. Specifically, ruby is corundum that contains chromium. Since they're basically the same Gem type, they fuse without additional limbs. Different Gem types, like Pearl and Amethyst, display extra limbs when fused.

Phoenix_mercury

Must be regional, also uk here and the t has never been silent

Keoh

It’s crazy how it’s not even a thought in your mind despite how super obvious it really is. Makes for a good reveal though!

Neil Marshall

The real life arc of Kanye (Estelle's collaborator on "American Boy") and Nicki Minaj's recent endorsement make some of the scenes in this series a little difficult. How so we heal when these wounds come up?
