Steven's Cry for Help
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2024
- The Steven Universe Future episode "In Dreams" highlights how Steven has been having nightmares. These nightmares have a much deeper meaning than just surface level unsettling, and they give a good look into Steven's psyche at the time that this episode took place. The projection of these dreams were clearly Steven's way of calling for help, and he got that help through Peridot.
Between Yellow Diamond being a pineapple, Blue Diamond being a dolphin, and White Diamond just being a giant pair of feet, it's clear that his nightmares will be both fun and intriguing to analyze.

Steven and Peridot's first true interaction involved her not knowing what a shirt was.
Stevens farewell gift to her was a Shirt.
Omfg I just noticed that
*cries*
*whats your shirt*
OH HECK YEAH
Also in “ *too short to ride* ” she said that she “doesn’t” steal steven’s clothes when he’s not looking
I remembered this episode and it’s really cute Peridot says Steven multiple times and dancing with her feet with full of excitement.
i love that too sm! seeing her stim makes me so happy
*[This episode is my favorite for two reasons: The first one was because, for the first time ever, we've seen Peridot's beautiful eyes. Like, i tought my visors were attached to my face, but i guess that's not the case. The second one is because of Steven's mental state. During his dreams, we've seen how much he's getting worse because he thinks all of his friends are drifting away from him]*
I love you peri
Its an amazing episode for one reason
Peridot
hiii perrii again
Here in the city, let’s play a game. We’ll show you how it’s done
I mean... Gem Drill already showed the visors weren't attached, because Peridot reached under her visor to wipe a tear away.
Peridot seems to me the person most likely to identify with Steven. Let's not forget she's experienced trauma as well, being hunted and captured by the Crystal Gems, dealing with the cluster and being left isolated with a very depressed Lapis.
Plus, feeling that you are useless after losing what made you feel useful.
Oh my gosh how had I never connected that @@laurenmungaray3912
About BD being a dolphin in Steven’s dream: dolphins can get high off of a pufferfish’s toxin, which induces a euphoric state. Even though Blue Diamond isn’t literally pricking herself on the spines of the pufferfish Gem, she’s vaporizing her tears into those euphoria-inducing clouds (trying to use her sadness to get high)
Well, ok. Good to know.
Ah yes, Blue Diamond's a hippie
Blue do be blowing those phat clouds 👁️👄👁️💨
If anyone is high it’s spinel
@@whitediamond9051 spinel isn't high
spinel *is* the high
This episode was low key so relatable
yeah,,
High key* there, i fixed it for you. Lol
That peridot scene always creeped me out man
Sameeee
Chantel Chukwuezi you mean “Chille Tid”?
Chantel Chukwuezi oooh true
@@12s0ph yep, chille Tid!
Peridot Literally Turned into Natsuki-
This episode is quite an interesting one because when the diamonds appear in his dreams, it implies that he has a complicated relationship with them. Steven also hasn't truly forgiven the diamonds. Love your videos ^^
Rebecca confirmed this in an interview that Steven never fully forgave the Diamonds. Sure they are family to him in a sense but it's obvious that he sees the Crystal Gems as his true family.
Yeah, and let’s not forget the diamonds tried to kill everyone and Steven has to confront them, white diamond being the one who would’ve succeeded if Steven couldn’t fuse back with Pink Steven. If the original series had a few more episodes, just before Change Your Mind, it would’ve made it possible to change the whole dynamic the diamonds had and make them better people if they admitted what they did, and tried to make up for it somehow. As for white diamond, Steven would’ve taken a long time to forgive white, considering she almost killed him. If Rebecca said he never fully forgave them, in my opinion, I would’ve written several episodes that focused on the diamonds redeeming themselves for what they did to millions of colonies. And yes, I know that couldn’t happen because of the schedule and limited episodes they could write, but still. One last thing, and I know this’ll sound cliche, but I feel like episode The Future should’ve had everyone Steven helped out, at the beach saying goodbye to Steven for one final time. The diamonds and spinel could’ve at least been there to give one more farewell to him, and the B Team too, but oh well, the episode still was a great send-off for this amazing story
This is especially the case for White
Steven has a good reason not to completely forgive them
He just said that he did when he obiouvsly hasn't Forgive them
Ever since this episode Peridot was the only one who even kinda knew what was going on
I think the visors of Peridot changing is a reference of Garnet getting addicted to Beat Meat Mania™ and showing how steven got traumatised by that.
And when his dreams where connected in the TV we get to see the preview of it in the episode where Greg and Amethyst where having fun until Amethyst shape shift, we got to see the TV got interrupted when Steven close his eyes
I don't think he was traumatized by that and it was a dream but maybe Peridot attacking them with the hand ship traumatized him, Peridot looked scary in that scene. Peridot also kidnapped him at one point and that traumatized him a bit. Every single one of the gems in his life hurt Steven in some way without meaning to.
Ooh! I forgot about how Peridot almost killed him when they first met...so the things she did to him affected him even if he doesn't realize it or tries to ignore it because he loves her now.
I think in this episode Peridot finally understood how much she hurt Steven and that her actions had severe consequences. She hurt someone she now loves...😢
Ngl Pinapple yellow diamond and dolphin blue diamond are fricking hilarious.
Yeahhh 🤣
I'm gonna show them but YOUR RIGHT ITS FUCKING HILARIOUS XD
"As people get oloder and move on with their lives they begin to Drift away."
Spinel: *intensifies*
TwT
I've got it. I think that the dream-version diamonds symbolized their own emotional intelligence, self- confidence, and stability, not so much Steven's lack thereof; it was showing that even they have overcome their problems and moved on in their lives, so even they don't need him anymore.
As a note, one easy way to create this mentality is a child having to be their family's help/therapist and lacking enough positive relationships outside of that. Which outside of Connie...yeah, pretty much.
I can honestly relate to Steven so much because I feel as though I'm constantly looking back to the past and idolizing it. That and not telling anyone about how I feel, as well as the crippling fear of loneliness. Thankfully I have a therapist and am working on it.
I can relate
Probably one of my favourite episodes not just in future but in the entire franchise. I love the symbolism in it and the absolutely adorable interactions between Peridot and Steven.
Like, that lil huggie at the end, and Peri taking off her visor, I---
Steven Universe Future may as well have been called Steven Universe is Co-Dependant because it is the best representation of Coda I've ever seen.
I was quite pleased with the finale, to be honest. But...if I could anything new to it, it would be a scene where Older Steven speaks with his younger self (Classic Steven) within some sort of mindscape. There, Classic Steven could tell him to never let go of what made other Gems feel so drawn to him; his accepting nature, his loving heart and most of all, his playful side.
He was so desperate to grow up that he pushed aside everything that made him special
@marie mohammed I remember that, I think but the title escapes me
That would have been great! i would have also liked if somehow in roses room steven could have a conversation between his human self and diamond self
I kinda wish Steven considered using the Breaking Point, but maybe that may be too dark.
Therapist: yellow pineapple isn’t real, she can’t hurt you
Yellow pineapple:
*NONO PLEASE DONT MAKE ME REMEMBER THIS! I HAD A NIGHTMARE OF STEVEN’S PINK POWERS*
ahhahaha nice
@@idontknow8716 why are you being mean?
Wow, Spinel! Wasn't expecting to find you here! Not sure why. (I'm one of your subscribers btw.)
Wait what did you dream happening? I dreamt I was in the same position as Steven in Fragments and shattered Jasper. That alone was already pretty scary-
And then I lost the shards of her gem.
I was pretty shook for the entire day :(
You’re the peridot account aren’t ya
Interesting how the dream symbolism was played so straight in this episode. It usually isn't.
I've heard some pretty rough criticisms about the last season of Steven Universe. But this season was so important to me.
About the diamonds and what they turned into in steven's dream. I think what they turn into and, that symbolism is showing that the diamonds are also very slowly moving on. BD has better control of her emotions, YD no longer has to act strong, but is now actually strong, and WD has grounded herself in reality after eons of being in her head. I hope that all made sense
im just like steven in every aspect,...besides the magic. the whole "helping people even if it hurts me just because i dont want to be alone and i feel like im disappearing and dissociating from my family and friends and everyone thinks im distant and i feel my relationships slipping through my fingers and there's nothing i can do about it and im helpless" thing.
wow,...that got personal..heh. heh
Much more intense then Pearl's Cry for Help!
im late but ur pfp is really cool. I've spent the last five minutes just scrolling up and down lmao
4:42 "...they begin to drift away."
Me: "hApPiLy WaTcHiNg HeR dRiIiIiIiIiIiFt AwAy~"
Yay, more Leah talking about Steven Universe!!!
2 points I'd like to make:
1: This whole Camp Pining Hearts rebooting thing with Steven and Peridot appreciating something even though it sucks is like a call-out to Star Wars fans. We can't agree on anything Star Wars, I guess she's saying you should appreciate some stuff for what it is. But idc screw Kathle-
2: "NOW PRESS PLAY YOU MONSTER!" is the most hurt because the climax of SU:F is "I am my monster" and this hurts
I know it's not the same show...but if what Toon said about Pineapples is true; then, I suppose Gumball's weird dream had much deeper meaning than we realized
Monster Steven: Oh yeah I dealt with that trauma like a champ
I think the diamonds are living the symbolism they're representing in his dream further showing that even they are living new lives and moving on.
5:38
"That's great, now press play you monster"
Damn, that foreshadowing tho-
Finally we see Peridot behind her visors
Wha? Where
“Why do I need to be needed?” -The episode with the cactus
I’m pretty sure this can play a part in some proof in this video
Hey so you know how steaven loved dog copter in his happy years when he was just a kid with his family and no problems? Maybe dog copter flying away represents his perfect childhood flying away and how he doesn't think he can go back to those times this is supported by the jems flying away in the next dream just a theory! :>
also steven seeing obsidian with connie's face..... made me think that he was seeing the crystal gems (+ connie idfk) becoming obsidian on their own. both becoming stronger without steven, and not even needing steven to become something he believed he was originally essential to create.
Thank you for sharing, it brought a problem I'm dealing with back into my view. Thanks for helping me understand what's going and hopefully what I can do to get better again. Future really came and hit me during a hard time. But again thank you and keep up the good work, dude!💙
Another thing is when we 1st see Bismuth he even said that he was just surprised that they were able to become friends because everyone he needs tries to kill him at 1st and of course later on in the episode she tries to kill him so I think that's another reason why he's traumatized in a way..😗
Steven really doesn't consider me friend or family trust me
peridot was so sweet in this episode and it made me cry honestly. she loves steven so much and their relationship is so pure. her growth from her debut is astounding
great analysis of in dreams i related to this episode so much i love Steven Universe
This is.... Deep
I will never see this episode the same again and I still cry to it
I remember this episode I was literally nervous for him!!!! One of the scary/interesting episodes lol
Steven had childhood emotional neglect trauma and PTSD...damn that's unfortunate...
what would gem 💊💊💊💊🏥meds look like and what would they be for? because I'm telling you some of them act like they have depression
Blue Diamond's new powers.
Short of that, I doubt that they have medications. I imagine that prior to the show if a gem was not able to act the way it was made and expected to act, then they would use a rejuvenator to white them back to "factory settings" or they would shatter it, considering it to be defective or off-colour.
@@thaumatomane alright now what if a gem lwas diknost with ADHD or scitresaferina?
@@williamswonderland3636 Yah, if any of those things are possible for gems to have, and that is not how they were intended to be, then I imagine they would have been shattered.
But since they are essentially AI according to Rebecca Sugar, I do not know if it would be possible for them to have ADHD or the like.
Then again other gems (like Rubys) appear to share similarities with features common among those with ADHD. But they were made to be that way, if it the sort of finely impulsiveness that makes them spontaneous and effective guards. So, because of their context, it would not be seen as a fault or illness.
Remember, mental illness is socially constructed and historically determined by one's context.
A person who hears voices and sees visions today might have been seen as a religious visionary in the pre-modern world.
So I would imagine that for gems:
1) They likely would not share humanity's illnesses nor the delineation thereof.
2) If they exhibited traits that did not align with their intended design and which they could not hide then they would have been shattered or flee (I am thinking of the off-colours like Padparadscha here).
3) Some gems might be functioning as designed, but their design happens to hold qualities that humans have classified as a mental illness because it differs from the norm in what a particular culture at a particular point in history determined to be detrimentally different from the norm. In that case I doubt that the gems would care, since the gem would be functioning properly.
Now - if a gem tried to live on earth and take up an occupation wherein their design's similarity to something that human's have medicalized (like ADHD) then they may have a problem. this would not have been an issue up to the point of Future. I image that (post show) the diamonds might try to employ the appropriate adjustments. But that gets creepy, if the diamonds change something so central to a gem's nature than is the gem the same gem anymore?
However, given that the gems seem to gravitate to earth occupations that do align with how they were designed, I doubt this would be an issue.
"they begin to drift away"
*Spinel flashbacks*
As a kid you think the adults around you can make things better. Then one day you realize that they can't, that they have their own issues and you aren't a priority to them. If that realization happens when you're older it's not as bad but if you see that when you're a kid... Stephen is an example of that... You take everything on your shoulders to make things better when it's not your place because you're a *child*
Oh, it’s a reupload :(
When I read the title I could only think of one thing: "Good evening everyone! This is the lovely Sardonyx coming to you alive from the soon to be former communication hub! How y'all doing tonight?"
And when his dreams where connected in the TV we get to see the preview of it in the episode where Greg and Amethyst where having fun until Amethyst shape shift, we got to see the TV got interrupted when Steven close his eyes
I think the reason he dreamed up feet, a pineapple and a dolphin is to represent how he thinks the diamonds are
Oooooh noo this episode was heart shattering
When you said heart shattering uhmmm I'm just gonna say that's what I was about to be if I didn't reform now looking back I don't blame myself 👌🤦
I'm from another country and i am learning english, i'm só happy that i can understand these videos
Yep, we are blessed with this
Your English is amazing!
Steven: P a n i k
also steven: kalm
Steven again: P A N I K
I feel like I’m a way we all go through something similar with friends and family moving on and we don’t feel like we can love on as well. Even if we don’t have as much trauma and baggage as steven, we all still have our own fight. We all have something that we need to get over something. It’s true that many people don’t relate to this as well. It doesn’t matter if we do or don’t. We all need someone or something to help us.
I don’t ever want to see pink buff Steven ever again
S a m e
*y e s*
*same thoughts*
I felt like peridot was the first person in that season to act on seeing Steven in destress, without having to push it out of him first. I mean, i know eventually everything showed on the tv, but she noticed something was wrong, and instead of try and push it out of him, she just suggested they shouldn't do the dreams anymore. Also, when she did see his dream, she didn't wait to hear to hear an explanation from steven before she comforted him, she went and did it right away. Continuing to solidify peridot as one my favorite su character, besides steven himself. Also, i don't understand why, after Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet heard everything the cactus said, didn't do anything in regards to comfortimg steven, even though they knew it was repeating his own words. I mean, yeah, some of the things where kinda hurtful, but at the same time, most of it just affirmed the fact that he was not ok, and they just didn't do anything about it until they tried to force it out of him at the end.
i cant i love steven so much i wish i couldve gave him a huge hug
I legit almost crying because watching this. I know this is NOT a sad theories or something like that, but the meaning is just deep and....well kinda hurting. (For not-sure-reason)
This is probably only me and I'm suck-
@@annoynmous1 Sorry if I make you tear up a bit, I didn't mean to ;-;
This was a better episode then change my mind.
I don't like how real it is and how much research you or someone else put into this. it scares me to realise that Steven isn't himself any more and who would want that. once a great show to a real life problem
Hol up, Steven is having self-esteem problems, he can't get over his war trauma, and he worries about being not being able to predict his and his loved one's futures. (I'm not a theorist at all or anything, and I suck at living)
How dare he think he is not worth it! He gets cookies hugs and songs today
It is so sad, that gems and Steven aren't so close, like they used to(((
TnT"
Just diamonds so huge , child Steven image Yellow is pineapple , Blue is dolphin , Steven can talk to them , ya he never give up fear from White , Steven just look White's feet.
Well this was a random reupload
Yeah
Great video. Love your understanding of Steven.
Not gonna lie, full on cried in the episode where he became corrupted and everyone helped him 😅
And then Peridot did nothing with this new information. She never told anyone nor tried to reach out to Steven later on.
I think she thought Steven wouldn't want her to do that. It's something like when family or friends tell you emotionally personal things about themselves but you feel conflicted to tell someone about it because they trusted you with this personal information and you don't want to betray their trust in you.
When you said self isolate I was like STEVEN HAS CORONA
CORONAVIRUS!!
@@willytheweasel1200 CORONAVIRUS!!
7:39
Me:... Steven we need to talk later
sugar, probably somewhere: idk i just like dolphins and pineapple
This is why I didn’t understand the ending of Future. After all that it’s clear that he needs to stay with his friends to help him through his trauma but instead he just up and leaves.
Bro Steven Universe Future was so messed up
You can say that again
This made me fucking cry cause it's too god damn relatable
Hey so I don't wanna lose this dream that I had so i am going to write it down here. I was at a lake with some unknown people. I was close to shore when suddenly there appeared a unknown water creature which fastly swam by us. Then there was a gigantic wave which didn't move me at all but felt horrible. Then there was a shark which atacked the person next to me and them there was a rapid tied that again brought a Tzunami which brought me to the middle of the lake where a giant crocodile was which bit me on my belly and dragged me down. And then I woke up
As unsettling and bittersweet this episode was my immersion was totally broken when it just panned to white diamonds feet in that dream i thought it was so funny i had to pause the show for a good minute.
For real though they did some cool symbolism in that scene with the diamonds. Blue being a dolphin is a nod to how majestic she is, how her powers and personality were streamlined and all-seeing, despite being a victim of her emotions she didnt let it affect the precision of her duties and powers. Yellow being a pineapple represents her crude exterior but having a softer core in regards to pink diamond and how she feels about her. Finally, as funny as it was for me i did recognize why white was assigned to just being a pair of feet. I think it represents her old self in how she stepped all over her subjects on homeworld, like in the final act where she mind controlled everybody. While she has learned from her mistakes its clear that Steven still has resentment towards her, like when he expressed wanting to slam her head into a pillar.
Did anybody notice that yellows a pineapple
ExacTly bRuh ;-;"
I mean, it's kinda hard to miss.
watching them driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiift away
LMAO-
Shit not again!
6 Words: I love you and your videos❤️
ok but this episode hurt me so much
That jumpscare with peridot's static glasses gave me a heart attack
Neo Genesis Steven Universe
Steven’s zodiac sign HAS to be leo 100%
Oh it is, how could you tell? (His birthday is August 15)
just now noticing the moon goddess statue retcon, she now holds a pink diamond
I also had another dream where I was in a Jungle with a person and a baby cat we found on the way. We wanted to find a road because we were lost but suddenly the ground was mud so I climbed the mountain as a cat with a bagpack with the small black and white cat. The other person was already on the top of the jungle mountain that I have climbed where a shop was in a cave. The shopkeeper was mean so we knocked him out and then the floor broke open and we decided to steal the food in the shop. Then the kitten was gone and we both turned into cats and looked for it but the ground split even more open and I woke up.
I was expecting a ytp
If anyone needs to watch something fun rn Watch She Ra and The Princesses of Power on Netflix, Its dope!
4:39 i knew something was off..
I think the stuff with the diamonds was just a sight gag lol
This video was personal
Oh
Oh.
Damn I cried out for 3 whole years and nobody ever supported me. What. A. *Rip.*
I thought i was the only late one here
Been there
Another dream was me as a boy in a black and white cartoon where I had terrible "Parents" and a small boy which I took care of.Suddenly it was raining and I stood outside with the little boy with my "parents" slapping both of us. I suddenly turned into a white bird and flew away and the world turned orange because i flew over the clouds and saw the sun
POV: you just wanted to see the clip but the video talks about a completely different subject
She's just as the series comes to a close but with my thing says that the video came out in this month what you know Steven Universe and it like a month before or something
Thank You very much for making this video! 🤗😍
I remember i had a dream waking up in my bedroom it keep repeating it until i Waked up
Y O U A R E N O T A W A K E
Even when I love these videos
I always wonder
What if they just added stuff to add stuff
That was just sad when u showed the footage
man this season got real depressing
