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

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2020
- Continuing our ongoing gem spotlight series, today we’re talking about a dastardly fusion that tried to best Steven through food allergies and dadnapping. And to better understand her, we need to look at the sum of her parts, most notably the Ruby half of her. As always, we’ll be talking character history, trivia, and discussing the real-life gemstone to see if it ties into the character’s design and personality. What’s up, guys? I’m Kris Carr, and today I want to talk to you about Bluebird Azurite and Eyeball the Ruby from Steven Universe Future.

![Pearl's Dark Role on Homeworld REVEALED? [Steven Universe Theory] Crystsal Clear](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/iw7-Ts2H0Z8/mqdefault.jpg)
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
ya
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.
Yeah. Their fusion is an embodiment of their hate towards Steven.
@@Creatorsan So I guess the reason is that they aren't in love, but rather because their similar interests are forcing themselves to work together.
@@squeaktheswan2007 That sums it up well.
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.
Kinda like Malachite. How much does Jasper and Lapis know each other on a personal level besides of what they do know about each other.
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.
Idk just a theory
I would like that alot
_BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY_
Sans the Skeleton *A GAME THEORY*
A. Person 𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘯𝘯𝘯𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘶𝘵!
I think Eyeball's weapon is more than a chisel then knife. (This is just my little detail)
*[Well noticed then]*
I think every ruby should have the same weapon, but it is weird how the ruby we all know and love has a glove and eyeball has (like you just said) a chisel.
Btw if you want proof ruby has a glove watch keystone motel ;)
OutGalaxy I disagree. Bismuth mentioned it being rare for Amethyst to have developed a whip, but her reaction was not wholly surprised, but more impressed than anything. This, at least to me, implies that most gems manifest weapons for similar scenarios, but that they vary somewhat based on the personalities of the gems.
I’d imagine that quartz soldiers develop weapons almost exclusively for close quarters combat, Jasper’s helmet would support this, but so would Rose’s shield (even though she’s not really a quartz, ykwim), and that other quartzes would make things like gauntlets, clubs, armor, etc. Amethyst is unique in the sense that she is a quartz who relies more on her agility and less direct attacks (due to being smaller), so she has a more versatile weapon for this approach.
Rubies all seem to use simple weapons for close combat, so Ruby’s (the Crystal Gem Ruby) gauntlet is an easy and practical weapon for this, but Eyeball’s Chisel/knife also works for the same purpose, especially since she seems to be less protective than most rubies and more vengeful and murderous.
Peridot clod
@@khariennui1738 rose was a diamond that took form of a quartz solder, rose quarts were solders meant for fighting
I just realized Blue-Bird is a literal mini Malachite, 4 legs and 2 arms with water wings. It does makes sense
[A fusion of a British pixie and Anger from inside out]
Hilarious in so many ways
Apparently makes an Australian?
@@tomfoolery597 it’s a cockney accent
Oh my Diamond! Ur my fav Pearl!
I always thought Aquamarine was if Dora the Explorer was put into South Park then to Steven Universe then turned Blue.
Honestly was never a fan of her design, but was disappointed that we never saw her, or that other Lapis again after there episodes.
Have you seen irl bluebird? It literally is red n blue and bluebird really takes inspo from it
*[Bluebird is literally the devil in person! She tried to kill Steven, Steven's dad, his friends and even wanted Little Homeworld to burn!]*
*Your in EVERY SINGLE steven universe video*
@@anastasia_852 bc shes peridot the little angry piece of pie
Hello peridot!
Peridot, i agree
Well she did try to kill greg and wanted Steven's family and friends dead and most likely tried to burn down little homeschool
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)
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.
Su-Future was kinda underwhelming to me, tbh
@@astrisperspecto4130 Agreed.
Yeah I feel like if Future had more than one season then we wouldve seen Bluebird again or hell we couldve seen more of Spinel
Yea but they had to waste it on an unrealistic depiction of mental health instead of something interesting
@@hueyfreeman6262 are you really a fan of steven universe? I know it has its flaws, but you dont have to be an asshole about it. It was a pretty realistic depiction of mental health/ depression for a KIDS show.
I honestly loved bluebird and was hoping to see her one more time
Personally I feel the same
*[Imagine if she was shattered instead of Jasper-]*
I think she should have appeared in the episode Together Forever as the antagonist and would end up fighting Stevonnie.
@@Brydav_Massbear That would've made the episode more interesting rather than having it be "Steven fails to marry a 15 year old girl". lol
@@Peridot5xg Frikking sick, I want a two season-long arc about that
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
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
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-
She's amazing and perfect and we love her
Yes love me.
I kinda hate her design though. She looks off.
Hi bluebird your one of my favorite gems!!!
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.
That makes sense
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.
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")
It just seems like unless you fuse with a quartz solider the fusion isn't that big
@@damiondunn4663 opal is actually also quite big
@fixsation on opal is a fusion of pearl and amethyst. Amethyst is a quartz solder. Try again fam
I hope someday, Bluebird will meet and interact with Jasper.
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 didn't realise how many gems are in this show
kian moore ok u arent a true su fan
There’s a heck load mate
Season 1a: nothing
Season 1b: nothing
Season 2: nothing
Season 3: Peridot
Season 4: rushing to introduce new characters everywhere, new characters in the background, new fusions, new everything
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”
They're not unstable and they don't hate fusing. What they should *really* have, is an arc.
If they had a ship name, would it be AquaBall or EyeMarine?
I prefer AquaBall
Some people also call it EyeAqua.
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.
Peridot was first you were third
@@Didyouknowthatiexist oh darn
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
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
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.
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.
If eyeball had taken Stevens gem, she would have gotten A LOT MORE than a pearl
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.
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.
You should do one for Ruby and Sapphire 😡🥶❤️💙
Rubys and Sapphires are known as the same gem . But this is just a real life theory .
She already covered them when she did a video on Garnet.
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"
That's the entire point, they tell you that oturight. Why would you expect a redemption or some closure for them when they literaly just told you that won't happen?
Also, SU is kind of an epilogue to the series, so I don't get why anyone expected they'd spend more than one episode on secondary villains.
I’m gonna bet they were planning on doing more with her
@@Goalieguy-rq9cu It honestly doesn't seem like it to me. It seems like she served her purpose fully.
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.
Who else is still sad that the show ended?this gives me so much nostalgia to when the show first released
Yooooooo thank you, Kris!! Mentioning the close ties to Malachite got me hype!!
Rip Greg's glorious mane. Also nowadays a pile of still on the roll free TP is like freakin gold.
Greg should use Hollywood Hair Bar to grow his hair back longer and shinier than before!
Whoa I see another reason why eyeball hate Steven 1:57
That Steven got her out? Good eye! Lol!!
@@nasiskahn thanks
Also both Bluebird Azurite and Malachite have 4 legs, that's not super common.
The narrator is always so upbeat. Keep it up!
YEAH! I've been waiting for this one! 😀
Yesss!!!
Finally a video about azurite!!
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.
Holly blue agate next pls
🤫😉
😁
Holly*
Lol my mistake
Kris carr!!!!!!
Thanks for the new video.
Who else wants a mini series on Ruby and Aquamarine?
Bluebird is an actual azurite variant which the fusion definitely took inspiration from in the looks department
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.
R.I.P Greg's awesome hair
“mr. universe does not negotiate with terrorists”
I don’t think enough people are talking about this line in particular
THEY FINALLY DID IT YESSS
When Greg cut his hair I literally cried
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
I love this, do you think you could do emerald next?
I can finally rest now
"I still didn't like the 'hey hey we're the mokees' and the bowl cut though." Finally someone said it and I STAN.
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?
Love this show ❤
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
Do you think eyeball is older than other Ruby’s because she’s lighter in color
That's just her coloration.
I feel like no one is talking about bluebird’s weapon. It proves that aquamarines have ice powers!
8:10
As well as the same impression of being misunderstood, trying to flee homeworld and wanting to be a part of earth. Hmmm...
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.
Bluebird needs more plot convenience
like they got one episode and then- disappeared😀
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😭
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
5:02 Shared spite is a powerful motivator for team-building
Although I Partially despise this fusion,I would like to see more
I definitely want to see a video all about Holly Blue Agate!
Bart, can you tell me the name of a Steven Universe character?
Bart Simpson: Ummmm... Bluebeard?
See me after class!
Bart: Awww!
next can you do all the quartz (jaspers) next pls?!
Bluebird? I think you mean "Choir Boy Gremlin"
BlueBird Azurite would have mad a pretty interesting villain if the show continued
If you think about it, eyeball is larger than bluebird just because aquamarine is so small
Not to mention both Malachite and Bluebird are a fusion of gems in Pink Diamond's and Blue Diamond's court
I love Bluebird
So close to 400 thousand
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
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.
Apparently the Diamonds were
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
Plz do one about holly blue agates and her symbolism
I would have loved to see more bluebird azurite tbh
I watched the ENTIRE episode
have done one about lars?
If u did can u do one about what if stevens mom was white? Blue? Or yellow
4:59 literally me watching steven universe with my friends
I'm learning more about the real life jems than the rebecca sugar version
NerdWire : *uhg what i wouldn't give to have someone leave that much fresh unwrapped charmin on my car*
Me:UNWRAPPED?
i love bluebird. i legit had one of my ex-friends contact as a drawing that i made of bluebird.
i LOVE bluebire
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
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?
my friend describes their fusions as them 'Hate F**king' each other and i think thats pretty accurate
Please, do nexts the garnets (Hessonite, pyrope and demantoid) or the quartzes (Biggs jasper, carnelian, ocean jasper, blue lace agate...) or Emerald or holy blue agate
They should do a video on Orange spodume and bixbite.
That explains why Bluebird has the same four leg, two arms as Malachite!!! I
*[It really is a pity that we were only seen once in the series..]*
She has a Cockney accent I love it
