I mean thats what would happen to someone who had to save the world at like 12 By the time you hit your teens you’re just pissed, stressed and tired of everyone like look at zuko lol
I thought Pink (Rose whatever) killed steven as an attempt to get her form back but pink steven came insted and is pi$$ed off trying to get rid of her. O-O
Peridots the therapist I can picture them saying Steven universe therapy here we are as they go through the door and Peridots in the chair and finishes off with Steven universe therapy
@@natnat9876 Zach wrote an entire theatrically connected album, it tells one very personal intense story (that is not family friendly btw). It's called A Picture Perfect Hollywood Breakup
(Spoilers from future btw) Maybe he felt bad about shattering jasper and so he goes back and blames it on spinel, the original source of all of this (even though she didn’t know) but when she retaliated, she actually hurt human Steven, which made pink Steven come out a fight her)
@@e_6228 Nope, the actual line is "To avenge the lost soul I killed" In the story of the album the character that Zach plays kills someone with the help of Christie and regrets it.
Steven is no longer the lovable goof who thought his powers came from ice cream. A lifetime under his mother's shadow and acting as everyone's therapist has left him unable to suffer his own burdens.
Ever since he was a kid he was so worried about himself, now that he’s a teen he’s been so focused on everyone that he never thought about his own thoughts and feelings.
I'm not a big fan of Steven Universe anymore, including Steven Universe Future, but I'm glad they added his PTSD and his trauma. It was interesting to see the effects of all he's been through and his arc throughout the series, as well as including these issues in a modern kids show. The show is dead to me now, but I think I'll always appreciate this about Future.
Canakyu the story of the original song was that Zach broke up with this girl named Juanita, but he believes that doing so killed a happier version of himself, part of him died, frustrated, he goes talk to his friend and start blaming her for pushing him into braking up with Juanita, and says he’s taking revenge on Juanita since in his eyes, she still won this situation
Anyone scared that Steven is going to eventually lash out and hurt Connie or Pearl with his new destructive powers and isolate himself from his friends and family or is that just me? Especially that episode seasons ago with Rose Room Connie with the eyepatch??? I am fear. OP you did such a great job here!!! I can feel the emotion in these frames, especially Steven's anger.
We wanted steven to smile and he did smile in the episode "fragments" but his smile didn't hold love and peace it held sick happiness and hidden rage, we wanted him to laugh but when he did laugh his laughter didn't make him shine like it usually did it didn't shine a light that said everything is great, his laugh showed deep anger and hatred and the deep want to hurt someone...
Remember when Steven was about a young boy with magical gem people guarding the earth from the monsters from outer space, and loved the cat ice cream cakes and there was just like 8 main characters? Yeah me either
In SUF if the finally isn’t Steven sitting down and just eating ice cream, not worrying about anyone but himself, but just eating ice cream from the carton, living his life for a moment, then I will cry.
Headcanon: Steven's angry outbursts caused him to hurt others leading to Steven seeing himself as some corrupted fusion of himself and his mother. Regretting the loss of his former self he decides to end Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz once and for all. Connie refuses to help him as it would mean Steven would be destroyed as well.
@@genomerc If you mean in the first seasons, he didn't change his voice for that. He actually sounded like that because didn't hit puberty till later, which is now lol. So yeah :3
The Original Album's Storyline is about Callison's breakup with a character named Jaunita... She proceeds to effect his life even after their eventual break-off, and after years of torment from her, he decides enough is enough and lashes out- going out in Hollywood to beat her at her own game. Christie being a close friend to Callison and trying to support him, now telling him this isn't the way. Now let's replace some names and change it up: Original Album = Steven Universe's Trauma Callison = Steven breakup = stress Jaunita = Rose Quartz Hollywood = Diamonds(?) IDK Christie = Connie HHHHMMMMM...
Not joking around here, although these are the voice actors of Steven and Connie, this is genuinely unrelated from Steven Universe. This song came from an album Zach created.
What terrifies me the most about this is that it's just Steven. Look at him, listen to him, listen to how he words the things he says, to how his voice cracks here and there. He isn't glowing pink, he doesn't have diamond eyes, he isn't being controlled, no one is influencing negative emotions in him, it's just Steven. The PTSD, the trauma, the hate for his mother's actions and even more that she left him to fix it all, his own self hate and self doubt, his passive and people pleaser nature, all in one mind and body. Steven is a character who bases a lot of what he does on morals and helping others before himself, because to him, that's what he's supposed to do. This, seeing this, seeing him lash out at Connie, someone who tries her best more than most others to understand what he's going through, hearing seeing him smile at the very end as he CHOOSES to fight over everything. When a hero, someone who puts others before himself and chooses to handle things with violence only when violence is needed, chooses to go along with it, you know they have truly lost sight of themselves. This is not the breakdown of a man, this is the downfall of a hero.
cant really blame him tho its understandable not saying that makes it a good thing. but all the shit his been threw and that no one is really trying to help him even tho he has shown his anger and sadness to the gems and that thay still think he is at the lest fine. again yes its steven's fault for holding his emotions. but you got to take into account that its hard for people that gone threw some really dark crap to just openly let it all out without snaping or just letting it out as a whole without getting the help he needs. IF thay went for this plot *witch i can kinda see happning* it would be really sad yes and probs make me cry but. i would understand why he would in the end think that way. i know that if i did not get the help i needed in a dark place that i have been threw i would probs be like steven rn. again it dosent meen its right but. understanding how someone views the world or understanding what situation and mental space he is in. would not only make it much easy for him it would help him finaly start fixing himself. *also yes ik that its diffrent for other people but that would make this comment way to big and to much time* in the end SOME people need to be in a really dark spot in one point in there life to take the full grasp of someone else's pain and how thay think some of the thing thay think. my overall thing is the gems need to do better *and his dad saldy* at trying to get more info of him to at the very lest have some understanding of how much pain and sadness he is going threw and try and see it from his point of veiw because having people that understand the pain you are going threw makes it easer to handle or at the best gets them started and fixing them selfs. again this is if SU F were to go this rout and that its not facts that this is the plot thay are going for but if it were this is how i would think of the whole thing. sorry for the long comment kinda went a bit over bord but hay this is how i think and i hope to god people dont take this to seriously as its just how i think about it. and that its diffrent for other people so pleese respect my thorghts and feeling about this or i will do nothing xD thanks for reading this good day/night
I think it's kinda sad that most people didn't notice Steven's mind state. He still has a few problems to solve, but now other problems from his mother are coming back again. My favorite part in SUF so far is when Steven snaps, because it clearly shows how he is mentally breaking and becoming something that no one wants him to be. He wants to become the hero everyone wants him to be so badly that he doesn't want to take care of himself and concern others. He doesn't want to show 'em how mentally weak he is now. None of the gems tried talking to him or ask if he is fine, but even if they did, he would answer "Everything is fine", since he doesn't want to be weak in front of the gems and, no one would understand him. No one would understand how it feels to be the hero that must be flawless, the one who has to fix things that are not his problems and how they impact in his life. How everyone looks upon him. But it looks like everyone thinks "He's strong, he will be fine!". It pisses me off. Everyone acts like Steven never needs help. He needs someone to spill out everything and ease the burden he carries. If the "Corruption Theory" is true, I think Steven will have to fuse with a corrupted gen, since they didn't catch all of 'em, and end up corrupted. But he won't be able to heal himself because, deep inside, he is tired. It will be just like Volleyball, a psychological wound. And because of that, he will slowly become aggressive towards others and they'll notice something is off. Once the corruption signs appear, he will probably run away from everyone and be alone. He is tired if being the hero and having to concern everyone. He wants to finally have a rest. And that's why the cinnamon roll needs therapy.
I don’t actually think he would have to fuse with a corrupted gem though like taking that theory and knowing Rebecca sugar he’d probably corrupt from stress and depression after keeping everything pent up and he explodes maybe cause he’s a teen and a gem so maybe he hurt someone he cares about when he blows up and the guilt weighs down on him so much that he breaks and corrupts without realizing it cause no one knew that corruption from depression was a thing and he doesn’t tell anyone even after he realizes cause like it’s Steven and no one notices until it’s to late and he’s to far gone to heal
@@inari3212 That is a possibility. But we will have to wait till January, because I think he will start to corrupt after he fights against Cactus Stevens
Insane Bella I doubt it’s corruption and more like his mental state/what he thinks of himself. There have been instances where gems have said that they can become so excited that they can poof, or it’s implied. I mean thats what happened with Spinel, she was so heart broken that Pink left her that she poofed and gained the design she has right now, repersenting her mental state; crying, darker, insaine was what she felt. And because he is a teenager, he is able to feel all of those emotions more strongly. So what if a half human gem is unable to poof and keep all of that pent of emotion inside? Will his gem part of him poof? And evolve into an embodiment of his mental image? But there is another side to my theory: the Lizard isnt Steven. Because knowing the crewniverse, out theories are never right unless they are in our faces
He went insane because he is an Atlas. The Atlas personality. Search it up there's even a version with Steven and it all gets described and it's all so true.
Lyrics: Connie: We’re finally free, welcome home, it’s just you and me now, standing alone, the world is ours. Steven: No it isn’t Connie: Get in the car Steven: This isn’t finished Connie: What? Steven: Even thought the kid’s dead, I’m still seeing red, I’m just a shell of his form that his innocence shed. Connie: He lived a good life and he gave it to you. Steven: Oh, is that right? You know it’s not true!! Look at him showered in blood and flowers, now look in my eyes, she stills holds the power, after years and tears, and confronting his fears, he’s dead on his record for the world to hear. And they’ll all think that it was suicide, but Christie/Connie, I know it was you inside. Connie: I saved him, I held him, ‘til the moment he died! Steven: You choked him out of his own god damn mind! You promised the world to him, a god damn lie! Connie: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!? Steven: Oh look outside yourself!! Connie: I won’t help you take her down. Steven: Fine. I’LL DO IT BY MYSELF!! Connie: You don’t need it! Steven: Oh, I know that I need it!! Connie: She’s been gone for years! I know you can beat it! Steven: No, look in the mirror, you know we both fear her! We’re one in the same, we’re afraid to be near her! We utter the name with our spirits defeated but you let me kill him, you’re worse than Juanita!! Connie: I told you to end it! It was all for the best!! Steven: So I have you to blame for this pain in my chest! Connie: NO! Steven: If you won’t go, I will! To avenge the lost soul I killed! Connie: You’re filling your heart up with hate! Connie: All the same Steven: NO! Connie: As the kid Steven: NO! Connie: That you just left Steven: NO! Connie: Face down on the Steven: NO! Connie: Pavement! Steven: It’s time I made a statement, a pity, the city has ruined us, we could’ve fooled Hollywood, just the two of us, but.. Juanita has made a fool of us. Connie: You’re lost. Steven: One, two, three, four, is this what love is really for? Is this all I get for being yours? The kid infront of me, in blood and gore. Five, six, seven, eight, years put to waste for all I hate. They’ll all know Juanita’s fate. Show’s about to start, don’t be late.
In the end when he says: “Show about to start, don’t be late. It sounded like he broke the fourth wall. As if the show going to start soon and he want to tell you don’t misses it.
This song isn’t connected to the show at all besides the voices can people please stop trying to connect them say stuff like this, it’s basically disrespectful to Zach Who isn’t just the voice of Steven and shouldn’t be treat as just the voice of Steven This was a song that was made separate of SU AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH Animatics are fun and good but stop trying to connect the lyrics to the shows it’s not gonna work and your gonna make people like me and other mad it’s disrespectful to Zach so STOP
any1 coming back to this from 2022, just to cry? :,) seeing this as steven just hits different. Mostly because of the stress, trauma and the adhd (i think). And the voice of zach just makes it fit in with steven's 16 yr old character. After having maybe a panic or anxiety attack from the newer episodes ( well from the newer updates i found.). The worry in zach's voice, the animated expressions, and the small voice cracks make it more pure and more emotional. It really shows how lost he became. He lost control and didn't know what to do anymore. He needed a person who can fully understand and know how he feels. Since he's been placing himself aside, this shows how much trauma started to pile up. Everytime he tries to help someone, he prpbably feels more broken since nobody could be there properly for him like he is for others. What he's missing is a person he can trust like the figure people see when he's helping them. The trauma started to pile up as he broke and broke and broke until he was on his knees, losing sight of his control. It really shows how the problems he solved about the gems, diamonds, and relationships he had to fix. His voice sounds so emotional that adds so much more. Even the animation/animatic expressions are so well done that, there i say it; a masterpiece. Even though it is from 2yrs ago, it is still such a masterpiece. Bravo and Great work for the singers and animator who made this video possible. Keep it up! And stay safe
I love the drawing style, I love the composition of the shots, I love the interpretation of the song, I love that it's the reason I discovered Picture Perfect Hollywood Breakup, I love everything about this
people in Su Fandom: Oh god he need a hug he need therapy rebecca plz be nice to my boy Same people in su fandom: *finding as many ways as possible to make his life a living hell *
Yes, I thought that, too! I wrote "substitute lyrics" as to how I was mentally processing this animatic, just for fun. Like, I would see Rose Quartz and Pink Diamond talking in the echos in the middle of the song, and near the end, I see him going into Pink Steven mode. ^-^
what if rose is mad at steven for hating her, (that would reason with his lash out when he heard about pink hiting volleyball, she’s coming out to yell at pearl because she doesn’t want them to know about her past) so she kills the human side of steven/ starts taking over his body to blame everyone else for his supposed corruption when it was really her actions
I’m just sitting here like, “this is just... cool and twisted and just kind of fun to see what this is like to see Steven pissed off” I love this! **Edit: Omg!!!! Thank y’all so much for the likes!! I didn’t even imagine anyone would like my opinion 🤣🤣
Before and after the video, I felt that strong chill on my spine. The chill of mix emotions like fear, excitement, worry and hype. Since steven universe future might go down to that path. This was done so well.
this could make a good story and instead of Steven shattering a gem, he meteorically killed his younger more innocent happier self "i'm just a shell of his form that his innocents shed" his mother "still has power over him" Steven hid his pain so much that it slowly killed his innocent self, and Connie thinks that she helped him when really she was hurting him, he still is trying to live up to his mother so he feels pressured to do everything perfect. that's all I have I can make up plots but can't really write a story about them, if anyone would be willing to make it into a story just send the link when your done, please.
If anyone is confused about this I think i can help but keep in mind this is what I think the song means This song is Steven's voice actor Zach Callison and its from his album a picture perfect Hollywood break up and the album is about a young actor who lost himself in the Hollywood lifestyle Now this song is the second to last song in the album where Zach is reflecting on himself let me explain The dead boy is Zach himself but his innocent version of himself before Juanita broke his heart and Christy is his current girlfriend but she is no good she take advantage of Zach and puts him down in the part where Christy says "I saved him I held him till the moment he died" that's her encouraging Zach doing drugs gambling and sleeping around when Zach said "you chocked him out of his own goddamn mind promised the world to him a goddamn lie" its him realizing what Christy is doing and everything she promised was all a lie to have him under her thumb when Christy says "I wont help you take her down" it means that she won't help him move on from Juanita by being a good girlfriend and help Zach with his problems when Zach says "fine I'll do it by myself" it's him breaking up with her and going to try to improve himself without her when Christy says "you don't need it" its her trying to convince Zach that he doesnt need any help or improving when Zach says "oh I know that i need it" its him going to go get help and try to improve himself and get rid of the lifestyle he has when Christy says "she's been gone for years I know you can beat it" its her still trying to convince Zach that he's ok the way he is and Juanita doesn't matter when Zach says "No look in the mirror we both fear her we are one in the same were afraid to go near her we utter her name with our spirits defeated you let me kill him your worst the juanita" Zach is saying how he still misses Juanita but knows he cant go back to her and him realizing Christy did more terrible things then Juanita did Christy is most likely the reason why Zach is destroying himself This post is going to long if you would like to know more comment what you would like to know and I'll try to answer it
This is honestly my favorite of the interludes and you do fantastic! I got chills, ugh. It's kinda ironic that A Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak fits Steven Universe Future pretty well. If this were an SUF AU based on Zach's album, my guess as to what currently happened: After all the stress finally got the better of Steven it killed off the old Steven (the caring, overly empathetic, selfless Steven that could help everyone but himself) and all that's left is anger, bitterness, and resentment after years of unending torment. Connie's trying to get him to see that he should've been standing up for himself all along to take care of himself, but Steven takes it negatively and blames Connie for his considerate side breaking (while she tries to affirm to him that it was, in fact, a good choice to let go of that to take care of himself). Steven's now consumed by the frustration and anger at his situation, especially towards his mother, and it starts coming out. Connie tries to get him to calm down and back off but Steven ignores her, so Connie gives up on getting him to stop. Steven goes off to let his frustrations be known now that he's too angry to play it nice.
I think Steven might have anger issues now… because when he was younger he would keep things that are upsetting to himself (I.e. when he was in roses room.) and help the other gems first, so now that he’s 16 hormones aren’t helping him, and as a teen, keeping things to himself keeps leading him to explode (like we have seen) And since he’s half gem, when he explodes, he EXPLODES! Eventually, he’ll turn into that big monster. (btw, if you look closely the face is like Steven, and if you look even closer, it has arms. Sneaple debunked.) Currently, I’m resonating with Steven like never before, because this is literally what I am currently going through right now (pray for everyone around me, poor things...) and the fact he’s 16 with mommy issues haha, too close to home, like aha, *F U C K* !
Childhood trauma can do that to you. The kids who have been quiet and nice turn explosive in their teenage years not just because of hormones but because of bad coping mechanisms like keeping things to themself and bottling it up. I hope actually we have a heart to heart with Steven and Connie in SUF and he comes to his senses that he needs to vent to her. Probably at the end of the series of the series of something.
I think he is going down that path but jasper is gonna help him even though she doesn’t it yet because she was the first one to see it. There is gonna be a time when he explodes and no one will be able to stop him and the only way to help will be his friends all coming together. At least that’s what I think is going to happen
I’m from a household where literally every ten minutes there’s a fight between my sister and my mom and right now all I can do is sit there waiting for it to be over and I bottle it all up when I have bad emotions
Meaning of the lyrics, cos this really suits steven: 0:20 - 0:25 Talking about how he used to be, maybe. "I'm just a shell of his form that his innocence shed" Steven isn't how he used to be, just a shell of who he was. 0:29 - 0:35 After all of that, his mother still basically controls his life. Everything that happens to him is his mother's fault, along with having to deal with her powers and responsibilities. 0:55 - 1:03 Talking about Rose. Idk how he'll "take her down" but remember, the song isn't used in this context normally. He wants everything about his Mom to just go away, he wants to defeat it. I don't have to explain the "one in the same" part I don't think
I think that would have been a really good touch to this, but what I was imagining instead was that at the end when he looked up he had vibrant pink diamond shaped eyes contrasting the black and white background
HELL HEAH!! Even though Steven says he’s not Pink, he really is. With him bottling up everything then lashing out. Obviously turning pink when angry. And does anyone notice he goes OP when he’s pink?
