me: don’t make bad-faith assumptions about what other people think in the fandom.

also me: i’m the only person that knows su future is an epilogue, not a sequel or intended as an equally big story that changes the status quo of everything it doesn’t directly touch on.

like it’s not. meant to be as big or flashy as the og ending or the movie? and that extends to having, say, a smaller story mainly centered around one character and smaller songs that are more folksy / something the characters make on the spot than grand showstoppers.

that last point is something i like a lot - every song feels like something the characters are humbly serenading someone else with “in-universe” rather than a grand, individual song that isn’t connected to the world. “my little reason why” sounds like a lullaby for the gems around blue, “stick by stick” is for onion rather than something rainbow sings ‘outside’ the show, “i’d rather be me (with you)” is a secretly tragic love song steven canonically sings to connie, and “mr universe” is literally greg singing along with his favorite cd.
