Never forget the 15 minutes of subtitle debacles lads. We held strong.

Caison

all the 9 year olds back in the day were screaming when this aired (me i was 9 when this came out)

Vinne

To be fair Steven is technically his own mom...in a way so losing a mom and gaining 2 more + a wine aunt

TSP247

Lapis is my favorite character throughout this show I wanted to say it earlier but did not want to spoil.

Allermann

are we sure steven exists legally. (on goverment paper)

Julio Castillo

Ah yes, the moment the show began showing the true depth of it's Lore. I was still not a SU fan back when this episodes came out, but the ripple effects they created were still felt when Season 2 was coming out (which is when i started watching the show consistently). Also... Alicia, can you perhaps keep this format? These subtitles are WAY less intrusive than the normal ones you use.

noneyabiss

Introduction to my fav gem, and as for Steven, I dont think he exists in documentation I think. Wasn't exactly born the normal way or circumstances .

Ranginald Vagel

Oh boy it sure is interesting to hear where her head’s at this early on. I have no idea how her thoughts will evolve and it’s really exciting, I wait agog for more!

xattygt

What she said at the end. If you know you know

EDWin qaz

I love how alicia assumes the bad things about the crystal gems and hopefully she’ll understand in the s1 finale😂

Lightinger

There is no way steven has a birth certificate or social security number. That boy does not exist

Englewood Pony

it’s… too perfect. Like… fucking insane.

BizarroPhoenix

I like this episode and always found it a good escalation and shift for the series up to this point, but I do think it does fail to convey certain things properly. Why did Pearl or the other Gems never try and free Lapis from the mirror? Cause it sounds like they were more completely taken off guard that a Gem was conscious or awake inside the mirror. Feels like it needed to be more of a conversation, but I digress.

marko cruz

Alicia getting excited to see Ruby & Saphhire at the end of the episode got me so giddy. I dont wanna say more, but the pay off is gonna be so great to watch.

Kaze951

I know she is avoiding reading the comments but please for the love of bob let's try to keep the lid on this one specifically xwx

Marcello Reyes

I love Lapis’ episodes. She’s so awesome! As for the Gem stuff, they haven’t had a way to reliably fix the Corrupted Gems until Steven unlocked his healing spit.

Marcello Reyes

Considering how his birth happened and his mother, I don't think he was born in a hospital.

BlastYoBoots

PEARL: "All gems aren't necessarily... *good.*"

DaniDeFig

Mirror Gem is such a traumatizingly good episode. With 50% of it being a normal goofy 'Steven finds a magical thing! ^^ ' episode, the Lapis reveal makes both the episode, and SO many others, so much DARKER in retrospect. "It should only be able to follow commands!" "It's only a Mirror Steven. It can't "want" ANYTHING" "You actually talked to me!" "You KNEW I was trapped in there!" ...and now we have to second-guess The Crystal Gems :/ Both past and future actions.

Daimah

Oh we're looking forward to when Sapphire and Ruby show up too.

GreyNimbus

I've been looking forward to this one. Lapis is my favorite character.

DaniDeFig

Alicia, I LOVE how immediately empathetic and compassionate you are towards the corrupted gems. This is definitely the right show for you ^^

Bix

If what Pearl said is true, that not all gems are good, I'm sure they have reason to believe that lapis was put into the mirror for a good reason.

YukoValis

Regarding your ending conversation. If you think about it from their perspective, they only found out about the healing powers recently. For thousands of years they were helpless to do anything but fight and bubble corrupted or broken gems. It is probably their nature now to see an attacking gem and want to bubble up asap. Especially if now they think it is a danger to steven. Also careful of these comments, some are getting a little spoilery.

Ivaldi

i love this show, and oh boy am i looking forward to the next like 10 episodes xD

Exiova

Jesus people yall really posting spoilers in these comments

Yagi di Hoshi

not to answer the question but gon freecss from h×h actually did, funny enough. like the custody papers are an actual thing in ch 1 of the manga lol idk i find this a noteworthy bit of whimsy if that makes sense

Yagi di Hoshi

doubtful if what was being used may have been some loosey-goosey *ehem* source

Yagi di Hoshi

i just saw a part of a movie today with a girl nicknamed Bob (dylan) & now this with lapis. what are the odds. it is a quirky lil tidbit that recurred once

Yagi di Hoshi

i just saw a part of a movie today with a girl nicknamed bob (dylan) & now this with lapis. what are the odds. it is a quirky lil tidbit that now recurred once..oh, now yestderday (witching hours now)

Sam Marsh

Don't worry Alicia, when you see Ruby and Sapphire, you won't be disappointed.

Sam Marsh

When it comes to gems that are damaged or broken, Steven's healing spit can more then do the job of fixing them, but gem corruption is a far more complicated issue that not even Rose's powers could resolve. until the Crystal Gems can find a way to uncorrupt them, for now keeping the gem monsters contained is the only viable solution.

Mica Anne

I’m so excited you finally got to meet my favorite character in the show! And I don’t say that lightly, I have her gem tattooed on my back xD

Moviejunkie

This is it. You’ve just peaked behind the curtain and now you’ll learn the truth soon enough.

thedangmaster

I loved lapis reveal, She figuratively elevated the show for the theorists at the time.

JuanmaRailgun

The plot has kicked in everybody, I repeat the plot has kicked in!!!!

Cole Savoie

weird these episodes were hard to find. I'd say they are pretty damn important

DLCDallas

On the whole Steven not being in school thing what do you think would happen if someone like Steven was registered into the system? Beach City is one thing but imagine if even the state government found out that there's a half-alien boy with magical powers, Greg made the safest choice.

Shrapnel

NO ONE SAY ANYTHING!!!!

filthycasual22

I believe the gems actually do give Steven homeschooling but they just didn't know there was a word for it. There is a comic that I believe is canon that shows Steven is actually very well educated when he takes a test at Connie's school and he gets the second highest grade behind her so the gems aren't neglecting his education. Edit: As for the gems not healing the ones that are broken, if you remember the episode introducing the healing powers, the gems said Rose TRIED to heal the creatures but was never able to do it, so whatever made them monsters seems to be beyond just fixing physical damage so the second best solution is to keep them contained until they can find another humane way since none of the others have any healing powers like Rose did.

QBee

I don't think she reads the comments, which is good, because people are going to spoil.

bismuthalienated

Luckily Steven is in the great United States where our homeschool laws are extremely lax. Some places you basically just have to say "yep we are doing it" once a year and that's it. No set curriculum or anything, there is a depressing amount of posts online of mothers comforting each other that their 7 year old cant read still but its fine because another mom has a 10 year old who cant read.

Darc Hart94

To be fair. The gems did have a reason to not free Lapis from the mirror. But thats for later

Darc Hart94

Also its not really against the law in the US to not be in school as far as I know. You just need to be able to get a GED

Okarun

whoever said, Alicia wont get hooked up on steven universe... HAHAHA B@#ch! You were wrong! (btw, I am sorry if I offended you, I meant is as a joke, stay cool.)

Nytalis

I'm dying to see her reaction to the birth stones lmao

TheRuralArtist

I seriously can’t wait to see how Alicia reacts to her and her fiancés birthstones😁😁😁

Speed1247

Alicia is right but she is lacking so much context right now that it makes her statements a bit too blunt. Information will trickle in so I'm not worried. Actually I'm excited to see the reactions to the lore of this world. Just remember the gems have literally been here for centuries, that was stated in a previous episode, so consider the ramifications of that

Zeerares

Yes, only 24 more episodes to go.

Laprin Hound

Ahhhh, god. No spoilers naturally guys. But MAN i would love to be able to feed context to people. She isnt wrong though for what she has right now how ever. <3

Cody Giovinazzo

They didn't know if they were gonna get more episodes so this might've been the finale until the rest of season one got confirmed/greenlit

LittleMoist

i don't believe greg technically has custody over steven, the gems do

Alymorphous

To be as non spoilery as possible, don't think of the gem creatures that Crystal Gems are fighting as having a psychological or mental condition, compare it more to having rabies

Flight

Only using the context available up to this point: A key "blink and you'll miss it" detail was in monster buddy where for a split second while reforming centipeedle started as a humanoid shape before erupting into the monster. Adding that with what pearl said implies that it's more than just emotion at play, otherwise centipeedle would have shown a physical change,

Stuart Boland

Oh it gets SO good from here on. I think there's one thing we all want to say but don't want to spoil after the end XD

Alymorphous

(I really hope this isn't a spoiler) To add on, the reason the Crystal gems only bubble is because that's all they can do for now, they're non-biological lifeforms, so them getting illnesses is both unheard of and difficult to fix. Think of it like a computer getting the cold, how would it know how to fix that?

Ethan

I can't wait until she meets the green gremlin.

ChaosSepher

I very much doubt that they put Steven though any legal registration or processes for his entire life

John Knotts

MMMOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!

LittleMoist

"its all we can do for them, right now" they say this, even knowing about steven's healing powers.

BakaSama

I’ve watched this series multiple times on my own and through Reaction Videos and it’s still so good. I can’t wait for Alicia to reach certain moments (I.e.Ruby and Sapphire and the Glorious Green Dorito).

Grei Glace

'Steven Universe and the Valid Crashout'

andimjustalex

I remember when these first came out… this was the moment I went all in on Steven Universe. I’m very glad I did.

Cassie Quillion

In monster buddies at the end they tell Steven that the monsters they have been fighting are corrupted. He just doesn't put two and two together that they mean gems.

Cassie Quillion

Steven isn't in the legal system. Ye olde trope "if the government knew about us aliens..."

lost siren

the ending song for the episodes is gonna be changing a bunch soon so its worth a listen

Alymorphous

I knew this, I was just trying to make semi logical comparisons to help Alicia understand the difference between a corrupted gem and a broken gem

Kalinka

that thumbnail... is it lapis time??

Ektopos

GOD I can't wait til she finds out and meets them. I DIED when she said that after the first react too.

AnotherWeeb

I don't think greg can go to jail for not having steven in school, because I don't think steven even exists on any federal paperwork. His mom didn't need to go to a hospital when he was born. He's not enrolled in school. He lives in a small town of like 15 people. I'm like 99% sure he doesn't have a social security number or birth certificate or anything. He's literally half illegal-alien

Zakry

this is the episodes where you either love the show and are hooked or you decide this show isnt for you

Grim

Thankfully we get an explanation later

andimjustalex

I can’t wait until you meet yours and your fiancé’s birthstones! I hope that’s not too spoilery…

YeCrustModifier

After what Alicia said, I can’t wait until she meets them!!!

EnderSlayer366

pretty sure it keeps changing for pretty much the rest of the show from this point on

Egregore

What were her and Richard’s birth stones again?

Nytalis

Ruby and Sapphire

Zer0Zed

How many episodes in this series could that title apply to?

Egregore

Oh my god; now I can’t wait either.

Nuk Limpear

Yeah I don't think Alicia can tell that what happened to Lapis (and Amethyst last episode) is a separate condition from what's been happening with the gem monsters throughout the season yet. Which is fair, I remember a lot of people struggling with this when the show was first airing.

Demi

so many reasons to be excited for the future already, and now there are more reasons to be excited purely based on your reactions so far. This is great!

Blake Maiale

Yeah...we get into his dad's horrible reasons for not letting Steven go to school later.

John Knotts

"He's taking Roy off the grid!"

Jachariah

Technically I caught this live but I was so sleepy I had to log off, glad you have such a quick turnaround on Patreon!

DLCDallas

I mean how would you explain that your son is actually half your wife, has a stone permanently placed in his body and is of extraterrestrial origin without either sounding crazy or having him taken by some government agency.

Blake Maiale

That doesn't seem to matter because the Government never tried to take the Gems

Alex Malix

Okay, Liked and commented as the Ratqueen demanded

Corrupt_Crimson

Hey how come that episodes 21+22 and 23+24 are not in this ? I had to search to watch them...

sebas hernandez

Because she already reacted to them? Like a few days ago?

Azzazz1n97

they are not even that far down in the feed...

SirPuddingCup

I absolutely cannot wait for you to meet Ruby and Sapphire. Please nobody spoil it!

pizza

Lapis is one of my favorite gems, glad you took a liking to her almost immediately.

SweetCandle

I'd like to see them try.

YukoValis

kind of spoiling something yourself. you could just say "two certain gems"

YukoValis

it is best not to name things because of spoilers.

SirPuddingCup

Kinda but she specifically said that she wanted to see them and Ruby and Sapphire are basic enough gems that it would be wild for them not to show up. I haven't said anything she hasn't already figured out.

Baindrik Morgren

Gem lore is kinda dark sometimes. It's kind of a class hierarchy and anyone of a higher class can treat anyone of a lower class like a tool or object. You'll see more examples of such in future episodes. So its not like the Crystal Gems are evil, its just how they behave in their own culture.

A.M Seymour

I doupt steven even has citizenship or a birth record For them to know about steven

Laprin Hound

Hey. Bad. I get it, but let her experience the show. 👍

Laprin Hound

Not really spoiling. Doesnt say when, who, or what they are. Just the Gem names.

Laprin Hound

Good, but consider it gets explained later pretty indepthly by the show, id say you could have left this alone. Just trying to avoid spoilers.

Cybers Link

Oh Alicia, you don't know half of it. Even knowing the whole story I still don't know how I feel about why they didnt help Lapiz. It is a very complicated issue. And nice to see you already have your opinions on Greg as a father, even if it was half jokingly. It would be important in Future

Benjamin Keppel

I had no idea you and Rich's gemstones were Ruby and Sapphire .... that's so cool!

GlamourGhost

I mean... Steven wasn't really born... his mom gave up her physical form to create him... so he doesn't have a birth certificate... he's likely not a legal citizen of any country... he lives in an ancient temple on a small island with his alien aunties... I'm not sure he even could be signed up for school legally...

DLCDallas

Just cause they never tried doesn't mean the possibility wasn't there

Bologna Amputation

Holy heck, Alicia, you seriously need to avoid these comments because people just CANNOT help themselves, and are just dropping spoilers like crazy. Eugh.

Bologna Amputation

Could all of you spoiling assclowns put a sock in it? Christ.

Bologna Amputation

God, yeah, everyone in these SU comment sections SUCKS.

Bologna Amputation

Don't spoil things that are explained in-show in the future. Christ.

S Le

This comment section is forever spoiling things. Another reactor, Wee Lass, had to stop reading her comment section early on in her reaction series because people are pretending they aren't spoiling when they are. Even mentioning the names of future gems or telling her to look forward to certain things are spoilers.

Yagi di Hoshi

OCEAN GEMMM MAKE ME BUY THE HAM, Lead me through the JOJOLands,,,,if you under-stim

Baindrik Morgren

None of the things I said are spoilers in any form. Didn't say who is higher or lower, didn't outline why its dark or what may or may not happen. You guys need to learn to read instead of jumping on everything you think is bad. Literally used what's already been shown in this episode.

Bologna Amputation

Hopefully she doesn't read these comment sections, because guh, people SUCK in these comments.

Flight

I know what's going on, just wanted to point in the right direction with current content

Lydia

OH MY GOD. No spoilers but people know what I'm talking about.

gamer cental 23

I'm still stuck on the fact that he doesn't know what school is

Daniel Wong

Have to disagree here, the idea of gem social system and how they treat each other is a spoiler too. Just because it is explained in subtext and not explicitly said in dialogue doesn't mean it is not a spoiler.

Baindrik Morgren

You can already see that social system in how the Crystal Gems interact with one another. Also hierarchies are a thing in every society, pointing out that the Gems have a more objectified viewpoint because they skirt the line between sentient and inanimate isn't a spoiler. You're reaching for straws.

Keji89

nothing money couldn't fix. As I'm sure if they wanted to the gems could sell of some stuff from their adventures and at least afford an education for the little guy (with a litte something extra to keep the authorities off their backs and bend the rules).

EthanEverhart

Remember in Monster Buddies, Garnet mentioned that Rose tried to heal the monsters but couldn't. They've tried the healing route and it didn't work. So bubbling is the only option they know.

ShinVortex

Ik EXACTLY what you talking about

Marcello Reyes

What if it were a "Gem homie". "What if" is the key phrase.

liquidwater

This is how those people with AI psychosis feel.

Lilac Chimera

The only benefit of the doubt I give them is that maybe they didn't realize that Gems being used as a power source like that are still conscious/aware? in that case, keeping her in the mirror wouldn't really be much different than bubbling her. But that still feels flimsy

Cube Pylum

What the fuck are you talking about with them throwing gems away? They're bubbling them, preserving them till they have a way to help them. Do you just say random shit without actually thinking?

Vegvisir92

Steven isn't fully human and just turned up one day...he wasn't born in a hospital or anything, theres likely no documentation on his actual existence, i doubt any school would take him

Harus Streit

Probably won't get a ping or anything, but I mean...you could kinda figure they mean a playlist? "I had to search to watch them". They were watching in the collection, and at the time, those episodes were not in it.

Cube Pylum

Why is not spoiling so difficult for some people?

Marcello Reyes

Alicia shoots off at the mouth sometimes when she feels strongly about something.

Vincent Jones

Giving context before the show expects you to have that context? If only there was a name for that. Oh right, spoiling.

Dip Ateer

He's half human so maybe that's the legal loophole?

Lance Ivy

Silly Alicia his mom's an alien and his dad's a beach bum .... There are no government records of Steven 😂

Willow Pacheco

Now that I think about it.....I don't think Steven is even in the system...

Marcello Reyes

LOL Thinking Lapis was a Gem Homie. What is she wasn't? In future eps, technically she was a Gem Op.

Nick

Have to leave an angry comment here Greg is an amazing father and I know you’ll figure that out/already have later in the series but still Greg is the best
