(Plus with SU out of hiatus in less than a week-days even, this feels like as good a time as any to make one of these (before we’re obliterated once again, via feeling))

SO

You know who I love

Peridot

You know who I am very afraid for

…….Peridot

Why’s that?

Well aside from the fact she’s a villain and not in the Crystal Gems good books by any stretch…I’ve seen a few people pointing out something delightfully insidious about Peridot’s debut scene in Warp Tour:

And that is, potential foreshadowing

Many people before me have pointed this tidbit out as I’ve said, but I just wanted to toss my own two cents in here. (it’s 1am and I’m feeling chatting so)

The foreshadow in question, Peridot’s interaction with the damaged robonoid. In summary it’s a pretty simple scene: The damaged robonoid clings onto her and essentially begs for assistance of some kind. Peridot responds with her foot, crushing it and destroying it outright.

Many people have analysed this scene and pointed out/ theorized a possible outcome for Peridot once she gets back to Yellow Diamond. That is, Yellow Diamond will not see Peridot as anything worth taking back, and thus decide it’s easier to dispatch/ destroy her. (Whether she decides to crush her underfoot remains to be seen but considering the gradual reveal of the utterly pragmatic stance of Homeworld, and more simply the option for a pretty cool parallel, this seems pretty damn likely. )

Now I hear you say, well that’s a bit of a stretch/ it’s only one possibility of many! Too early to be making parallels (and I don’t disagree with this).

But…something I noticed when rewatching Warp Tour…and my reason for now being very afraid…

I direct you all to exhibit a) damaged robonoid begging for assistance from giant foot

I’m looking at something in particular…no, no-NOT the crack on the robonoid…what else is going on here?

….It’s missing a foot you guys

….And who else, as of the latest episode of the last Stevenbomb, Friend Ship, is now missing a foot…..

….





I’m very afraid for Peridot you guys….

BONUS:



BUT GUYS I HAVE HOPE (And also I’m tired and desperately grasping at straws while praying Peridot don’t freakin die, so I’m probably gonna sound crazy but)

I SAID JUST BEFORE: “Yellow Diamond will not see Peridot as anything worth taking back… she decides to crush her underfoot” AND ALSO “ damaged robonoid begging for assistance from giant foot ”

KEYWORDS: Underfoot, giant foot

I NOW DIRECT YOU TO EXHIBIT B) This one scene from Arcade Mania



“I hope it’s…fighting….a giant…..FOOT”



Followed closely by:

“GOOD JOB STEVEN, YOU STOPPED THE FOOT”



I know, I KNOW it’s a huge freaking stretch for me to say it’s implying something/ THIS could be a foreshadow for something (Steven intervening and protecting Peridot from suffering the same fate she bestowed upon that poor lil damaged robonoid)…

But I think we can all agree that SU has a LOT of stuff planned in advance…enough that it references itself so goddamn well: (eg, Steven’s Lion: Garnet saying ‘we kept Amethyst’ > On the Run, and also So Many Birthdays: Amethyst saying ‘which way to the baby war’ > again On the Run/ gems being grown to make soldiers to fight in a war)

So basically I’m saying…I feel this scene has something going on here/ MAYBE?? maybe…yeah maybe…

With that I end this edition of birb rambles SU here, thanks for reading!
