Bluebird Azurite + Eyeball & Their Symbolism Explained! | Steven Universe 

Bluebird's mish-mashed design makes sense to me, as it was a hurried fusion over mutual hate that they can barely hold together sometimes. We know fusions can change looks because of how Garnet looks when she first fuses vs when she's always a fusion, so Bluebird is just a kind of hurried mess that the gems didn't think over

Unlike Garnett whose gems are equally spaced and represented, bluebird's gems are smooshed together like a first grade art project. They don't blend, but they are still two parts of each other.

One thing I noticed about Bluebird is her accent. I’d wager Aquamarine, who has a stereotypical “posh” accent, adapted her way of speaking when fusing with a “lower class” of gem. Hence the stereotypical “lower class” cockney accent.

i think bluebird's speckled design makes perfect sense. think of baby garnet's patchiness! aquamarine and eyeball don't know each other well enough for their fusion to be comprehensive.

I think Eyeball's weapon is more than a chisel then knife. (This is just my little detail)

[A fusion of a British pixie and Anger from inside out]

Headcanon: Bluebird comes back to The Temple to kill Steven. Just to find out that Steven left and isn’t coming back. Then, She goes back to Homeworld, questioning her life choices, and slowly forms a healthy relationship, and Accepts the change of Homeworld Society.

Honestly was never a fan of her design, but was disappointed that we never saw her, or that other Lapis again after there episodes.

*[Bluebird is literally the devil in person! She tried to kill Steven, Steven's dad, his friends and even wanted Little Homeworld to burn!]*

it's also worth mentioning that just like how aquamarine reflects lapis, eyeball reflects jasper. both aquamarine and lapis are blue gems from blue diamond's court with water wings and both eyeball and jasper are warm colored, tough, war-hardened and surly gems from pink's court. this reinforces the malachite connection :) another bluebird/malachite connection is how they both are shown to have ice powers and, debatably, four legs (though malachite has arm legs, her 'body' is centaur shaped and the arms are put where the horse legs would be)

I honestly loved bluebird and was hoping to see her one more time

I just realized Blue-Bird is a literal mini Malachite, 4 legs and 2 arms with water wings. It does makes sense

It is funny how one is grasping for a higher status while the other is trying to keep it from slipping away. And Eyeball at least provided the basis for the ice scimitar with her chisel knife

It's too bad she only appeared in one episode, i wish they would've shown more of Bluebird, she became one of my favorite villains in SU Future.

I didn't realise how many gems are in this show

i think the weird design shows that their relationship is not complemented by each other, so, they just mash it up like a bunch of clay

regarding the fusion appearance, I think it was neat that it has more aquamarine characteristics because aquamarine considers herself to be superior to ruby. the colors aren't blended together showing how they aren't properly compatible (or because it's supposed to resemble azurite but still) there's a power imbalance and the fusion doesn't have a solid starting point because they don't have the right reasons to fuse or to be around each other, other than spite toward steven.

am I first? or is my computer being a nitwit? also, I love how bluebird pranked steven as an actual fairy would. fairy lives for pranks very relatable but fairy would shape shift more.

I think her ice powers stem from Aquamarine's (partial) hydrokynesis meeting with Ruby's thermal control.

Bluebird was always that cute fusion and I definitely love the personality, I honestly thought she was funny throughout the episode

I hope someday, Bluebird will meet and interact with Jasper.

It’s very fascinating to see that one gem is literally perfect for being a fusion between 2 other gems. Like cmon irl Bluebird Azurite is literally perfect I’m-

Personally I think the weirdest things about Bluebird were that she had 4 legs and was basically the same size as both Eyeball and Aqua.. Now it's just my 2 cents, but the 4 legs might be another nod to Malachite, plus both Malachite and Bluebird were on two opposite sides of the height spectrum could be another nod. (Fusions are usually the exact height of all included gems stacked atop one another, Blue is much smaller and Mala is much bigger than they should've been if they were following this "rule")

Fun fact: Blue birds marks are supposed to look like corruption scars because if I remember correctly they were trying to trick Steven into thinking they were like all the other gems and was just healed.

One thing I noticed about fusions is that how the fusion looks and acts depends on the gems relationship and if they've ever fused before If the 2 gems dont get along the fusion If the fusion is new then it's often a mess.

I'm still highly disappoint that they after appear again after their debut, I mean it felt like they were building them up for something but never did, didn't even show back up in the series finale, if Steven Universe ever come up (which is most likely on HBOMAX) as a continuation, they better appear in it.

You know what they should have done for bluebird azurite plot wise? I’ll tell you. They should’ve battled Steven after attempting to attack Greg, with more green specks, and then Steven tells them how unstable they’re fusion is, and helps them acknowledge how much they hate fusing with each other for the sole purpose of hating Steven, but they get so upset over this because they think Steven is trying to trick them. So they gradually get more green specks until they are encased in a cocoon of green foamy crystals. After a minute they burst out of the cocoon as kind of a bluebird-malachite variant, of course this means they’re bigger and more monstrous. The entire squad of crystal gems try to take the fusion down, and barely win when aquamarine and eyeball suddenly unfuse because of their lack of cooperation, and while the two gems squabble and try to fuse again, it’s no use because of how incompatible they are and inevitably get taken down by the crystal gems. The crystal gems corner them and threaten to poof them, but soften when the two beg for mercy and promise to change, but then yells: “sike!” quickly flying away, threatening to “be back”

Well what you could say is that aquamarine had finally found my Dad , I love this fusion bluebird but I wish that she didn't just look like an off color aquamarine

If they had a ship name, would it be AquaBall or EyeMarine? I prefer AquaBall

I think it's cool or coincidencental how aquamarine (a high ranking gem) has a posh English accent and when she combines with ruby a low ranked gem they have a cockney accent to reflect this. Idk if it's this is right but I find it interesting

Bluebird has my favorite weapon and or attack in the entire series! That's about all the love it have for her though. Cute video and an even cuter doggo.

I like her, especially her voice. The raspiness of eyeball's with the British accent of aquamarine is perfect, and the bowl cut is ugly, but I like the suit and tie.

You should do one for Ruby and Sapphire 😡🥶❤️💙

If eyeball had taken Stevens gem, she would have gotten A LOT MORE than a pearl

Who else is still sad that the show ended?this gives me so much nostalgia to when the show first released

Eyeball is also connected to Jasper in that they both chose to return to Earth to find closure for the trauma they experienced during the Rebellion. Jasper obviously had major issues of self-worth that she linked with being from the failed Earth colony, and Eyeball personally witnessed what she thought to be the death of a Diamond. They both saw their missions to Earth as a way to put an end to the war, finally beat Rose Quartz, and move on with their lives.

Yooooooo thank you, Kris!! Mentioning the close ties to Malachite got me hype!!

I don't get why so many people wanted her to come back or have closure. I think the great thing about Bluebird's episode is PRECISELY that not everyone gets closure, not everyone redeems themselves (the same for that Lapis that decides to keep terraforming). Some people just keep on being shitty forever, which is something that was always lacking in SU. Their final line sums it up perfectly. Aquamarine: "You may have gotten us this time! But we'll be out there." Eyeball: "Hating you!" And even Greg says it himself: "Everyone can change, but not everyone wants to"

Rip Greg's glorious mane. Also nowadays a pile of still on the roll free TP is like freakin gold.

Yesss!!! Finally a video about azurite!!

Holly blue agate next pls

Whoa I see another reason why eyeball hate Steven 1:57

YEAH! I've been waiting for this one! 😀

I think it's interesting how the individual powers of gems affect their fusion powers. Garnet has electric powers from Ruby's fire power and Sapphire Ice power. Bluebird has Freezing powers from Ruby's fire power and water powers.

Also both Bluebird Azurite and Malachite have 4 legs, that's not super common.

Bluebird is an actual azurite variant which the fusion definitely took inspiration from in the looks department

Same here I really hope they showed up in the finale for example in I am a monster when Stephen uses with Jasper instead of Stephen becoming the worm in the intro so Stephen and Jasper are both that thing in the intro it just has two faces and bluebird is supporting it because bluebird made a list of demands and episode five destroy your house bubble your friends burn little homeschool to the ground now Stephen is already done the first two in episode nine he bubbled his friends the off colours and the cool kids and it episode 10 he destroyed his house due to cactus Stephen and in it so 19 he destroyed his house again but everyone had to prevent Him from burning down little homeschool I could’ve I like blue but attack everyone to make sure this happens like Stephen/Jasper fusion just freezes time and then just goes to homeschool and burns it down to the ground all the other villains there including bluebird Jasper is part of that fusion spinel turns out to be a Jutese Or maybe jasper and spinel get to turn out to be evil in the episode the future and bluebird just gets really pissed at Stephen for not doing the third act or maybe she gets cactus Stephen to do it instead and I’m really disappointed about spinel how she never gotten to any Annamae or any games where I’m like modern type things like none of that for me like like no anime films know like live action movies none of that that’s really disappointing she should’ve came along with Stephen on Jasper oh wait Jasper should get a spin-off redemption arc movie

When Greg cut his hair I literally cried

The narrator is always so upbeat. Keep it up!

R.I.P Greg's awesome hair

THEY FINALLY DID IT YESSS

"I still didn't like the 'hey hey we're the mokees' and the bowl cut though." Finally someone said it and I STAN.

“mr. universe does not negotiate with terrorists” I don’t think enough people are talking about this line in particular

Bluebird's design makes sense, tho. The two haven't reformed since they first fused, so her design hasn't had a chance to balance itself out.

I thought it was a pretty cool detail that bluebird had a sort of cockney accent when fused

I was wondering if you guys can go over the Zircons next?

Who else wants a mini series on Ruby and Aquamarine?

I can finally rest now

I wish that they had more of a shorter garnett build since blue bird is half ruby, and consists of a water/ice power based gem

Although I Partially despise this fusion,I would like to see more

I love Bluebird

Do you think eyeball is older than other Ruby’s because she’s lighter in color

I think blue bird's chop-shop design reflects the sloppiness and carelessness of the fusion its self. The suit and bowl cut hair is taking a more masculine (ruby-like) approach to Aquamirines schoolgirl uniform. They dont belong and the awkwardness in design is a bit tip off to that. Had it been a ruby and aquamarine that respected and loved each other I believe she would have looked different and even bigger in size, like Garnet.

idk why but leggy and navy are my favorites out of the 5 rubys😭😭😭 4:40 ngl greg kinda ate that scene even tho his hair is gone😭

Bluebird? I think you mean "Choir Boy Gremlin"

Bart, can you tell me the name of a Steven Universe character? Bart Simpson: Ummmm... Bluebeard? See me after class! Bart: Awww!

Bluebird was an important episode in SU: Future. It tells us that while everyone is capable of change, no one is capable of change just like that.

next can you do all the quartz (jaspers) next pls?!

Bluebird needs more plot convenience like they got one episode and then- disappeared😀

Not to mention both Malachite and Bluebird are a fusion of gems in Pink Diamond's and Blue Diamond's court

My ick with the design was the 4 legs, but that could also symbolize how incompatible they are. Also! Bluebird Azurite is a real gem! Did you know that? You probably did. But little is known about it due to it being extremely rare - or so a google search told me. What do you think?

Thanks for the new video.

I feel like no one is talking about bluebird’s weapon. It proves that aquamarines have ice powers!

NerdWire : *uhg what i wouldn't give to have someone leave that much fresh unwrapped charmin on my car* Me:UNWRAPPED?

4:59 literally me watching steven universe with my friends

8:10 As well as the same impression of being misunderstood, trying to flee homeworld and wanting to be a part of earth. Hmmm...

BlueBird Azurite would have mad a pretty interesting villain if the show continued

Did you know that when she gave steven the grass,oysters, and peanut butter she was trying to kill him because their all common human allergies

my friend describes their fusions as them 'Hate F**king' each other and i think thats pretty accurate

i LOVE bluebire

5:02 Shared spite is a powerful motivator for team-building

Love this show ❤

have done one about lars? If u did can u do one about what if stevens mom was white? Blue? Or yellow

If you think about it, eyeball is larger than bluebird just because aquamarine is so small

i think the mutual belief in the cast system courses most of Eyeballs traits and powers to be suppressed as rube just lends herself to be a tool and a solar rather then a person if compared to Garnet ruby and sapphires treats come together in prefect harmony and they see each other as equals

I definitely want to see a video all about Holly Blue Agate!

That explains why Bluebird has the same four leg, two arms as Malachite!!! I

I'm learning more about the real life jems than the rebecca sugar version

I would have loved to see more bluebird azurite tbh

Ok i have a oc. The shirt is almost like azurite so when she said it wasnt good i was offended

Leggy is my favorite ruby so dumb and clueless it's cute

Breakdown she ra season five next that would be cool

Now that i think about it, it would be pretty neat if Aquamarines and Lapises played a similar role in the Gem heirarchy, just like how Rubies are sort of like smol Quartzes. Maybe the Gem creators originally created Aquamarine for terraforming, and the Lapis Lazuli gem was a refinement of that oeiginal power set? I dunno. To be honest, I never found it super clear what role Aquamarine and other beryls played in the heirarchy, and Ive always gotten super interested in that kind of worldbuilding. Do Beryls rank higher than Garnets, for example?

I watched the ENTIRE episode

I can imagine some Wiley Coyote esc shorts involving them following Steven after he leaves and just keep getting caught out by each other or simple Earth things screwing them up. Likely leading to similar cartoony goofs for some 1 to 3 minute shorts. Hell even have Spinel pop in as a sort of Bugs Bunny esc interloper. I always liked the sort of Team Rocket esc feel for the two. Certainly a more comical and joke villain but one that could have a bunch of silly and fun gags to them. At least to me

I think that the fusion is red and blue mostly is because they only fused for hatred cross Gem fusion are base on exception and they did not the malicite forming is to symbolise them slightly accepting each other

She has a Cockney accent I love it

I love this, do you think you could do emerald next?

So close to 400 thousand

Missed opportunity, malachite and bluebird
