Aiko

Hiii happy to watch this with you!

Aiko

Can I see that Loona shirt? Or where can I find it?

gemi.inv

It's not just you. The 3 main Crystal Gems are pretty out of character throughout the mini series, and especially in these two episodes.

Aiko

Oh no

Aiko

Greg’s hair go brrr

Vilmu

A Very Special Episode is a parody of old PSAs, so that's why the characters are exaggerated in that one. Sunstone as a whole is based on old PSAs, so they're the one who teaches safety. Rainbow is inspired by Mary Poppins, so they take care of Onion.

Jx

Despite many thinking of it as a filler ep, I personally enjoyed 'a very special episode' and ig the whole point of it is to give more screen time to Rainbow and Sunstone since we barely saw them.

xattygt

That last one is the worst of the season and the season does get better especially in the 2nd half

Jx

Garnet saying "if she tries anything, we'll be there to squash her" and they all fuse as Alexandrite just to do that is so funny lol.

Hulk Lover

WOO! It's Trauma Thursday!

Jx

Remember in the 'Rose Buds' ep when Greg says "I can feel the rest of my hair falling out." Well.. that was foreshadowing alright 😅

Craig Rangoon

Feel like "A Very Special Episode" is gonna go right over her head because I bet the G. I. Joe-style Public Service Announcements are specific to Americans of a certain age.

itsa secret

This episode is obviously mostly a gag (plus getting to see more of Sunstone and rainbow 2.0) but I see the gems less as out of character and more in different phases of their lives. Amethyst is more emotionally open, there's no intergalactic threat, so they can just live there lives. I agree this show doesn't have quite the same charm as SU but I think that's by design. I prefer SU, but I do enjoy the post-story epilogue vibes of SUF as well.

Jx

Eyeball and Aquamarine are basically like Jessie and James from Team Rocket lol

Aiko

Onion is technically 7 now

sidney

ehh i think 5,6,7 are the weakest episodes but i promise it gets better

Jx

The title of the episode is a reference to "very special episodes", a trend in TV shows, normally dramas and sitcoms, of releasing an episode that tackles a major social issue.

Alp

Eh, a couple years have passed and the threat of Homeworld and the Diamonds is gone, I can see the gems "relaxing" and getting a little looser and more casual. They've got other stuff to do, all of them teach at Little Homeworld, and none of them are aware of Steven's... uh... impending issues.

Thiago Escalante

I think the reason they used the fusions is because a fusion's personality is different than just a sum of their parts. For example, the reason why Sunstone is giving the safety lesson instead of Steven or Pearl is because Sunstone has the perfect personality to do it. Garnet has a sort of hyper-awareness and knows everything that could go wrong, but she lacks tact, same goes for Pearl, she lacks the tact needed to teach naive gems without scaring them. Steven on the other hand has that tact but he lacks Garnet's assertiveness and hyper-awareness. Basically, the combination of the two balance out their weaknesses which makes Sunstone the best candidate. The same goes for Rainbow, Pearl's responsibility + Steven's kindness and experience with onion, makes for the best nanny, that explains why Rainbow is the best for the job, but it doesn't explain why Rainbow ended up with that responsibility in the first place. There's also the possibility that this whole episode is just an acted sketch for the video and nothing in it is real, because not gonna lie, the episode feels very not cannon.

Alex S F

1) Onion did not age simply because the crew didn't want to. 2) A very special episode was.. very special indeed. I think they were going for the energy of these 80/90s after school safety cartoons but yeah... I had funny bits and stuff but it feels like a wasted episode.

Aiko

I was confused for the majority of episode 6

Alex S F

Now, I do see some of the out of character bits of the gems sometimes but I don't see them always. I know is a general feeling of the fandom but to me it's like well their arcs are pretty much done so... yeah... just chill for a bit girls you are allowed to be kinda off after thousands of years of trauma and specially now that your life doesn't fully revolve around Steven.

Taigan

Good news! You’ve made it through the worst Steven Universe episode! Honestly, I liked the Uncle Grandpa one better than this.

Kel

I do think that, at least in the Bluebird episode, the characters are written a bit slapstick, probably to keep the focus on Steven feeling like he's alone in trying to figure out if Bluebird can be trusted and every time he's suspicious it backfires. But it does make them a bit flat compared to their previous growth.

Sayo_fan23

The whole point of A Very Special Episode was to give more screen time to rainbow Quartz and sunstone. They were only shown in the final episode of the original show, so this was to flesh out a bit more of their personality's, powers etc.

Babble

I do agree about the characterisation of the gems being noticeably different from the main show. Whilst Rose has the biggest shift, being portrayed as having absolutely no redeeming qualities from the Movie onwards - the other Crystal Gems also seem a bit flat and off, the narrative kinda forgets about them and their growth now that their arcs are done so we only focus on Steven.

Samuel Wilson

Think of Sunstone as Deadpool. They can break the fourth wall as much as they want and make it comedic XD

Luke Teasdale

Ughhh the onion episode 🙄 paaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnn

Samuel Wilson

I just saw where you didn't enjoy this movie, rainbow quartz is like Mary Poppins. Keep in mind these are everyone's characters after change your mind. The characters are all changing. They aren't out of character, these are their new character points.

Hulk Lover

Yeah, I'd say these are probably the weakest episodes of Future, but that does mean it only goes up from here. Personally I still enjoy them, but I might skip them if I were to do a rewatch by myself. I say might because I do like Sunstone's bit at the end and Bluebird is a minorly important episode.

RJ Keating

Honestly though, I think thats kinda what this episode (Bluebird) is meant to make you feel. Nostalgic and like things aren't the same. If anything, I think that is the overarching theme in Future. Everyone is growing up and moving on, and Steven's struggling to do the same.

Cullen

I mean the Very Special Episode is kind of meant as a joke as it is entirely a safety PSA so I think the gems are out of character because it's a large PSA video. Also, I think the point is that Rainbow Quartz is this Mary Poppins figure that is able to manage Onion and Sunstone is the perfect safety PSA for the safety lessons. In both these fusions, Steven is the "heart" and empathy that balances out Pearl's structure and Garnet's foreboding foresight.

SHsuperCM

I think this show is specifically just about Steven rather than about the others. The other characters feel like plot devices and I am fine with that if the point is to emphasize how he is feeling. Especially because they feel "resolved" to me after the original show ended.

Stellar Kruize

I think she doesn't like Aquamarine cause her Scottish refuses to like her being all "British." lol

Wren Williams

Well done- you've got through the bad episodes. The gems characters do feel off I agree. In their respective episodes they are great but when the focus is not on them they are a bit characturey. The focus of this series is Stevens mental health- not the gems- but it is still frustrating

Shayne473

Fun fact: the reason Bluebird offered Steven a plate of peanut butter, grass and clams wasn't random. It's because those 3 things are the most common allergies in humans (nuts, pollen and shellfish).

Gone

The gems feel off when SUF is being funny. In the show's more serious moments they do tend to feel more like reasonable extensions of their characters' growth through the original show. I feel like maybe the show's sense of humor is a little wonky when you're used to Classic Steven because a lot of the humor of that show wouldn't work quite as much in a series where he's supposed to be 16, and this first season isn't 52 episodes long so there's not much time to stretch their legs and just kinda do stuff.

deny

i dont get what aare u so confused about? Steven hangs out with onion a lot but since everything is dirty in onions house, do u know who is perfectionist who cleans? PEARL, who does onion wants to hang out with ? Steven, so fusion of steven and pearl = steven with skills to tidy the place...? i thought its logical

deny

THEY FUSE CUZ THEY NEED THE FUSION'S PERSONALITY AT THE MOMENT, FUSIONS ARE BASICALLY DIFF PEOPLE.. THATS LIKE SAYING "WHY IS RUBY AND SAPPHIRE INTO GARNET RN? WHY??" maybe cuz we need garnet?

deny

sunstone was literaally all about safety? did u forget the finale when garnet and steven fused they were talking abt safety??

Dinker

The thing is clams, peanut butter and fresh cut grass are all super common allergens.

deny

the onion bit where he didnt age is a BIT because there was a scene where steven teleported with lion to many plaaces and onion was in all of those places, onion is a supernatural mysterious creature

Void Fairy

I think Pearl and Amethyst are acting a bit different, because they had character arcs in the original series and have changed as people. Pearl doesn't have to be a neurotic obsessive war criminal hiding away from the world fighting gem monsters anymore, she's free to interact with the townsfolk and be as "human" as she likes now. She was also shown to be taking guitar lessons from Greg in the movie. She's also show to have learned to value humans more over the course of the original series. The way she treats them, even Greg, is pretty detatched in the first season and her valuing humans for WHO they are comes along more slowly (After she meets and starts training Connie I think). To me it's a pretty natural place to continue her arc, having her integrating more into Earth culture. I'd assume her interacting with Onion is just that in the last 2 years she's probably been able to shift her focus to building connections in the community and exploring to find out who SHE is. We saw the beginnings of this at the end of the original series, with her getting a cell phone to interact more with humans (and gems) but phones are mostly a human thing. Amethyst used to have a lot of doubt about who she was, whether she was making the right choices, doing the right things, whether she was good enough. Her arc was learning to trust herself and gaining more confidence in herself, she looks to others a lot less I feel like now for what to do. She's still a goofball but I think she's much less of a "rebel" now, because her being that way was her way of coping with feeling not good enough. She no longer needs to act "too cool" for other people to mask her insecurities. Garnet didn't have as big of an arc herself, it was more that Ruby and Sapphire had things going on individually and within their relationship, but Garnet herself has always been pretty steady when things are good with those two. So, to sum up, I don't think they are acting "out of character" but I think they are acting differently, due to their characters having changed. Things not being the same is... sort of a theme of this series. Life changes, we grow past things, they're not the same gems they were in the first episode of season 1. Also, I think Onion being "Not Human" is sort of a running gag, but if Onion was 5/6 in the original series and steven was 14, Onion would only be 9/10 now because Steven is 17, so still young enough to need a baby sitter (especially if everyone knows he's a destructive little trouble maker) Steven was 13 at the very start of the original series, he had his birthday episode (where he tried to shape shift to look older for connie) and he turned 14, at the start of the movie he was 16, and in this series he is 17/18ish. You asked WHY Garnet and Steven "HAD" to fuse to make a safety video, but that'ss just it, they don't HAVE too. they don't HAVE to do anything anymore, they can do whatever they want. Steven and Garnet I would assume WANTED to collaborate on that project, and sunstone was even shown in the original series to be a walking PSA so I think it makes sense. Steven (and the gems) being able to grow and change was the main theme of the movie, and I would say that theme is still present in SUF.

Film Vagabond

If you don't know where you're going even if you're following the path it feels like you're meandering but the journey is well worth it. This section definitely is a breath of fresh air before diving into more interesting things

Aria_Rose

Just a heads-up: back during the Gem War, fusions were pretty much seen as "war machines." So, a lot of these newer gems don’t realize that fusing is actually about so much more than just fighting. By including fusion in their lessons, the Crystal Gems are showing everyone that fusions can be about friendship, creativity, and connection too!

StrawberryPanic

Yeah a bit out of character, I don't know why Onion didn't age but people are saying because he's mystical. Meh, not a good enough excuse for me. I felt kind of iffy about this entire Future season but I think they were rushed and couldn't really flesh out the characters like in the original series. There were many moments in the Future I was like wtf.

Someday Sera

It’s hard to explain without tipping the shows hand, but there is a reason for the uhh…chaotic tone of future. There is a sort of larger theme that will become apparent over time. I can’t say I love it, but I can respect what they were going for, and it’s a bit less irritating now that we know a new show is coming.

Someday Sera

Yeah onion is just a running gag, onion is some sort of eldritch horror just being a chaos goblin in the background. The unsettling enigma you simply try not to antagonize but never understand

Someday Sera

Oh! That’s rather clever actually

Someday Sera

Rainbow is also acting as a parody of various parental figures that teach kids, it’s like pairing up Mary poppins or Mrs Racheal with some sort of…puck/loki child. Rainbow quartz 2.0 is made for this, nobody else can handle it

Natalie DeMerit

I was screaming babysitting the whole time. They're watching him!!!! The shows only progressed 3 or 4 years. Onions age is never said, as far as I'm aware, if he starts the show at 5 he'd be 8 here, maybe 9. A kid that old wouldn't be able to watch themselves, or at least shouldn't be left alone all day

Someday Sera

Yeah it almost sort of feels like self parody at times, with them just being goofy to serve whatever joke they need them to serve. Kind of feels like an attempt to capture the more silly whimsical nature of the show in the opening season 1 arc before we met lapis, before getting to the more serious stuff later. And granted, most seasons of the show did this, having a bunch of upbeat fun filler before getting to gem war drama. But it’s awfully jarring immediately after volleyball

Someday Sera

The next episode isn’t amazing either iirc, pretty solid after though.

Someday Sera

That and she’s just the most outwardly villainous character of the original series. Everyone else has a motive for the bad things they do, but can be understood, aquamarine is just an evil mean spirited bitch with no real redeeming value.

Wren Williams

I actually like snow day- I know the episode could have been used for something else- but Its fun- and nice to have a episode that isn't 'plotty'.

Someday Sera

Yeah, and them feeling a bit off and distant does kind of put us in Steven’s emotional headspace going forward, we feel a similar conflict to what drives his character arc in future

Someday Sera

I think that’s exactly it, future is kind of off putting on purpose to help you empathize with Steven’s internal conflict. Future is definitely better on the rewatch, now that I kind of understand what they are going for with it’s weird tone

Someday Sera

Oh no, I’m not a huge fan of this, but say uncle is unbearable, and this is still better than most of the Ronaldo episodes

astroghost

for me the first few episodes of future were very meh but i heavily relate to steven and what he is going through the rest of the season so i'm very biased but i think the second half of the show is incredible

ArcticBanana

If I recall correctly, I think they confirmed that when Sunstone breaks the 4th wall, it's not just an in-universe thing, Sunstone is in fact talking to us, the actual viewers.

peachy af

i never took it as the CGs being out of character. i just took it as comedy. it kind of doesn't matter, steven calling amythest's art ugly is inconsequential. they lean into the joke by amy saying "before my art career even took off...." too. it's not hard to pick up on when they do that

peachy af

also? amythest's episodes in the first part of SUF and the volleyball episode with pearl were totally in character and made sense on the backend of their arcs. i'm not really getting what you're pointing out with them being "out of character," their stories are finished. but thats just how i feel

peachy af

I love snow day, makes me fuzzy on the inside. But yeah, this batch of episodes is my least favorite in SUF

peachy af

I fully disagree about rose. We've been shown her full character throughout the show, and since SUF (and SU) are thru Steven's eyes, it makes sense we might feel similarly to the protagonist. The show showed us that she changed into a better gem but not without mistakes, but that doesn't nullify steven taking the backend of all her issues and living thru so much trauma. It only makes sense that steven himself has a very poor outlook on his mother even if he does acknowledge the good she's done "I guess i can understand how she's good and bad, and bad and good" - Now We're Only Falling Apart

peachy af

the reason you're having a hard time grasping the fusion episode so much is because you've made the mistake (the one that garnet has said not to think before) of thinking that gems are 3+3=6 and not 3x3=9. Fusions are different entities, both the sum of their parts yet also completely brand new. it's like, been mentioned. a lot. regarding fusions. im genuinely not trying to be hostile here but admittedly its just a teensy bit frustrating

Adrian

Onion not aging is just an onion thing. There’s no actual reason beyond he’s the local cryptid

Eliteguard99

I’m not trying to sound mean, but sometimes Mosco questions and gets twisted up over the most insignificant and meaningless things while watching a show.

peachy af

Yeah i found myself skipping a lot of tangents this time bc it was less theorizing like it was in SU and more of a.... nitpick? Like if she feels like its ooc that's whatever but like i kinda wish she'd understand why it's written the way it is 😭 her questioning everything IS making her enjoy it less but admittedly these are the worst SUF episodes

KassidySnakeyes

Amethyst and pearl are not out of character. They have grown and they are different people than when they were in the original show cause they learned to deal with their trauma, they have better coping mechanisms do I do agree with you on onion it should be his parents taking care of him not Steven

Tarot-Sovereign

Peanuts, shellfish and grass (specifically the pollen) are the most common allergies for humans. Bluebird was trying to poison Steven, as best as she understands human stuff.

Chris P3

That’s subtle.

Evil Queen

Anyone have a hard time with the volume of the show? I can barely hear the episode in this one.

Evil Queen

Also I can understand the frustration and apprehension to the way future is set up. It may seem off but there are reasons for how the show is moving forward. The characters have grown and may be showing us as such. It’ll come together better as you go.

Kit

Yeah……yeah. My thoughts exactly.

Álex Martínez

Tbf the gems do actually act a bit out of character, but it's usually when the show is trying to be funny, so they act a bit more silly and exaggerated than they normally would, the show takes itself less seriously, at least in these episodes (that's not a bad thing though, of course)

Caitlin

Based on the comments I’m gonna just head out lmaoooo my main reason for being here was so I could have my comments read by her and have meaningful discussions about the episodes anyways but that hasn’t been a thing for months now. Plus I know Moscow is totally allowed to hate on anything so there’s not much I can complain. But based on the comments and the fact that it’s these episodes (which I’ve never seen anyone complain about) makes me wanna just dip. She’s also a “Mabel hater” and I knew that from day one and disagreed with those reactions so maybe our interests just don’t fully aline anymore:(

peachy af

I try to forget about the mabel hater thing lol Honestly these episodes are my least favorite of SUF and while i havent seen people COMPLAIN about them i do think they're obviously less enjoyed. I think her rxn is still worth a watch bc she wasnt like necessarily complaining the whole time or anything but like yeah i get you girl

myrryah kibbons

You questioning why is the point. Why is Steven stretching himself so far? Why is he making time for these things ? This episode is meant to make you question. Think harder why would Rebecca use this episode to guide your mind on this direction. Lots of foreshadowing

iKirbeeburgr

I get what you mean about Garnet, Amethyst & Pearl feeling a bit out of character, but most of the way they acted was due to things in the past that have since been resolved like Rose telling Garnet not to question things, or Amethyst disliking herself and feeling insecure. but they don't feel that way anymore and they've all grown a lot, so they don't seem out of character to me.

BigPoppaJohn89

Bluebird looks like a Beatles fan cause of the accent and the hair i hate Steven and Garnet fusion, they look cool but they have the personality of a after school special and thats annoying

Caitlin

Ok you’ve convinced me to give this one a try! You make it sound better than I thought it was gonna be. I already unsubscribed so I might as well use up the little time I have left

Caitlin

I try to forget too but then there’s days where I hate her reactions and always come back to that😭 it’s mb

BRD-Patriot

Jasper Season One: "Fusion is just a cheep trick to make weak Gems stronger!"; Peridot Season Two: "Why are you fused, when you aren't even fighting?"; Mosco Season Six: "Why do we waste a powerful Fusion for this?"... And now rip away the layer of methapor and read: "Why are you gays even a thing, when you can't even procreate." I do not want to sound inflamatory - this is 1:1 my thought process when I hear this kind of thing. I am deeply sorry if that comparision hurt's but you do not sugercoat your feelings, so it is only fair to do the same. I am not calling you homophobic (obviously), I am just stating that it hurt's.

Caitlin

I love it because it’s sooo clever. Garnets ability to predict the future+ steven being the main character = breaking the forth wall. Plus the personality is a pretty good mix of them imo the only thing I don’t love is the jeans but that’s just life

BRD-Patriot

Again I am not trying to start a thing, it just hurt and I had to speak to it. 😢

BRD-Patriot

Exactly my thoughts!😥💜😓

Dinker

The entire episode is sort of a bad google of things to do to a person to prank them. "How to harass someone?" Write an embarrassing note and tape it to their back without them knowing. "What embarrasses humans?" People are embarrassed by compliments. "Other ways to harass a person." Substitute their drink for another drink, in extreme cases substitute it with something that isn't a drink. "Extreme harassment of young human." If they drive a car use several rolls of toilet paper to cover it, it's most harassing if the paper covers the car in several layers.

Eliteguard99

FR I skipped her rant about fusion but the “Why was Pearl hanging out with Onion? Since when were they friends?” Rubbed me the wrong way. 1) there’s been a 2 year time skip from SU to SUF and 2) who cares! It’s insignificant to the over-arching plot!

peachy af

Fr you'd think she'd understand its not necessarily just pearl either, rainbow 2.0 is very clearly attuned to cleaning and caring for others in a very mary poppins-esque way. They're just a good babysitter lol

Dinker

I think you're trying to apply a metaphor to something that Mosco is approaching from an in-universe perspective.

Caitlin

With in-universe perspective this point still stands because fusion still doesn’t need a “reason”. Looking at it alone, we have examples from the show where we see that people, like garnet, want to be fused and don’t have to only fuse when they need extra strength but can fuse whenever. Like this comment gave exact quotes of times the show has brought up this point. It works with or without the metaphor. The in universe explanation for this just happens to mirror a real life one

Caitlin

Maybe I’m misreading this but you have 2 examples of them finishing their character arcs didn’t you?

Symbolic Remnant

I will say, some of these early Future episodes feel out of place, some of that is real, but some of it, you just gotta let it cook. Also I’ve said it before I’ll say it again: Onion isn’t a person. He’s a chaotic force of nature that will not stop bringing evils upon the world until it is consumed in fire.

Squat

If onion was 4 to 5 in SU then he's be like, 7 in future. That's not a massive leap.

Squat

This might not translate well to non-american viewers, but Sunstone is a play on those "Radical Dude" mascots they used for child school videos in the 90s and early 2000s.She is a combination of Steven's media literacy and empathy, and Garnets Future Vision and leadership, which allows her to "see" past the 4th wall, so she literally speaks with viewers and give them advice charismatically just like those mascots. She even has suction cup hands as her weapon, which is the most 90s thing ever.

Vartixs

I'll agree Amethyst felt odd when running off crying because of the art, but I dont think Pearl or Garnet have been out of character. Also I prefer to think the things that happened in A Very Special Episode didnt actually happen and were just for the lesson.

deny

i agree with u so much

deny

exactly, onion wants rainbow quartz 2.0, not steven and pearl next to each other

deny

onion is a comedy character, he has no depth, hes just there for the chaos, them making him not age a bit is hilarious, also he teleports many times in the show but u probably didnt even pay attention, when steven was with lion he teleported to search for amethyst and onion was everywhere

Val Mattingly

All I'll say is that the reason all the characters feel different is because they are. They're all domesticized and calmed down from years of peace and growth. Not to mention that instead of being alone for thousands of years, they all have hundreds of gems to talk to and influence them constantly.

Val Mattingly

Also it's VERY funny to see someone who doesn't understand the Sunstone bit try to understand the second episode. Basically the whole episode might as well be non-canon and works as a filler to give people more time with the fusions.

Camaleonino#

hey mosco, just wanted to say i love your reactions, but the audio here is way too low, i can't almost hear something, in the next reaction could you try to record it in a higer volume please? amazing video as always, just a friendely tip from a fan :D

Camaleonino#

simple, steven complements the personalities of garned and pearl for what they were going for, and they needed a reason for rambow to apear becouse we didn't get anought of him, and overall, that is just a fun episode to relax and chill out, since the show is too short is nice to get a epp that is not that deep, also they felty off character and exagerated becouse it wa the purpose, it's just to be fun and play aroud, so relax mosco, this epp is not that serious or to overthink it, just anjoy the watch :D

Phoenix_mercury

Not really, garnet doesn't just pop up, do a thing then leave which is exactly what alexandrite did, she literally formed, smooshed bluebird and unfused within like 30s

Vex Valor

I like Future and don't really mind the choices made in this episode, but I think it's completely fair to dislike it. The problem is Future doesn't really have a proper plot because it only has one season and it's just not enough time to work up some sort of big bad or plot that could be just as interesting as The Diamonds when it's just already been resolved in the first show. Really all of these choices are being made simply to see more of the characters we didn't get much time with in the original show and that's ultimately why all these decisions are happening.

FoxtrotStudios

I haven’t seen anyone comment this yet, but the reason why bluebird gave Steven grass, clams, and peanut butter is because she was actively trying to kill him. They contain what people can have allergies of. Pollen (grass), shellfish (clams), and peanuts / treenuts (peanut butter). Also, side note, but who in their right mind can eat THAT MUCH peanut butter in one sitting???

case deerly

i totally agree here, these episodes are particularly weak, character-wise. fusions exist as a metaphor for character dynamics, they have always functioned as a manifestation of two characters, their similarities, emotions, and the relationship they have with each other. in this episode, they exist for gag purposes only. sunstone and rainbow especially are providing us ZERO insight into any kind of emotional development. as fusions, as an episode that focuses on fusions, it was a total failure. it makes me kinda sad to see everyone unabashedly defend these episodes when they are some of the shallowest work put out by the crew through the whole series. i love this show and i love future too, but theres a lot of issues with it i wish more people were willing to address. SAD!!!!!!!

Yoy Man

I completely agree about absolutely despising Aqaumarine but still liking/tolerating eyeball. I just wish that one of the most annoying/disliked gems in the show wasn’t my birthstone 😭
