STEVEN UNIVERSE 1x37 "Alone Together" Full Length Reaction
Added 2023-11-10 17:00:08 +0000 UTCHere is my full length unedited reaction for Steven Universe! This only includes my reaction and thoughts. There is no intro. I always start my recordings at 00:00:00 of the show to make timecode syncing much easier and the timecode is included. I watch through any recaps (if any) and intros. But it always starts at 00:00:00. Must have your own copy to watch along with, since I can't offer that due to copyright laws. Streamer: Max

2024-07-07 21:41:44 +0000 UTCUpon my rewatch, I like to believe that the abrupt end with the happy cheering Connie is doing while dancing around may like... suggest that maybe in some way she's overcome the brunt of her fear of negative attention on the dance floor through this experience. Like, by the essence of working through that negative Kevin encounter WITH her friend in the closest way possible, she knows she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Because Stevonnie has already braved those waters and came out of them victorious. Ahah I love the donut shop scene- other people have written far better meta on it than me, but the storyboarders actually flipped back and forth between emphasizing more "masculine" coded traits and stances with Stevonnie (what comes to mind for me is that confident way they hold themself while wringing out their hair, and also just... how their features are drawn at that moment, feels more Steven-y inspired) and emphasizing more "feminine" coded stuff (such as the over the shoulder eyelash bat moment) in the way they're drawn. I air quote masculine and feminine because honestly, gender is all soup anyways at this point, but hopefully you get the gist of what I mean. I think it's a fun touch, because it's suggesting that Sadie and Lars are star struck about varying aspects of Stevonnie's androgynous appearance, and are themselves zeroing in on what they are personally attracted to in a person. Which... was also an interesting element of the episode, and something neither Steven or Connie have dealt with before- the idea of people being attracted to you. It's like a more souped up version of Connie's anxiety- of people paying intense attention to you on the dance floor- except now, after this experience, it seems like she's learned to differentiate between the types of dancing and attention that she thinks are fun and enjoys, and the types that feel off and potentially predatory. (And ALSO successfully set a boundary!) Good for them both! An important coming of age experience.
