Ah, another older song, this time from Story for Steven. It seems that the crunch time for the season two music is finally over, as Aivi and Surasshu have come through again: Young Gems (1:46) is up for you to listen to and enjoy.
What could #StevenBomb2.0 mean?
Where there is lore there is speculation. We’ve made the outline for our upcoming #StevenBomb2.0 lore posts, now it’s time to do the same for our speculation. These will get full write-ups over the next couple of weeks, before #StevenBomb3 hits.
Pink Diamond
We’ve been speculating that Rose Quartz used to be Pink Diamond since The Return and Jailbreak aired, and Sworn to the Sword added more reasons to believe in the theory. Since the theory has never got a full writeup, we think its time has come.
Sworn to the Sword
We got more than evidence for Rose being Pink Diamond out of Sworn to the Sword, we got an interesting idea for what some early interactions between Gems and humans might have been like: battles in the arena for the Gems’ right to colonize Earth. We’d like to explore this concept some, since it’s certainly interesting.
Chille Tid
Steven can apparently communicate with at least some Gems while he’s dreaming. Is this power unique to him, how could this power work, and what could it mean?
What did we learn from #StevenBomb2.0?
Now that #StevenBomb2.0 has finished we can sit back and take stock of it. While we got a lot of speculation fuel, we also got some hard facts too. Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be discussing the following episodes:
Rising Tides, Crashing Skies
It’s here that it was confirmed that monsters are drawn to the Crystal Gems somehow. The big draw, however, is the tidbit of information about the temple: if the Crystal Gems were to move, they wouldn’t be able to simply move the entrance to the temple with them.
Keeping It Together
The glimpse at the forced fusion plotline was good, but what we can take away for sure is what Garnet told Steven about long-term fusion, and presumably how it differs from what Steven and Connie have experienced as Stevonnie.
We Need To Talk
This was the first big look we got at what Rose Quartz was actually like (though we got a peek in Lion 3: Straight to Video), so that’s definitely cause for discussion.
Aivi and Surasshu post: Full Disclosure
Well this one is going a bit back. After the second #StevenBomb has finished airing, we get something from the first from Aivi and Surasshu. Still, it’s great to have Full Disclosure (1:36) posted.

GC13 and Ken discuss #StevenBomb2.0, which just finished, and #StevenBomb3, which was just announced for July 13-17.
The ratings of #StevenBomb2.0, which were much better than the ratings for the first #StevenBomb, are discussed, as is the huge spike in fan activity online. Even though GC13 and Ken would both prefer a return to getting one episode each week, so long as the fans are responding well then there’s nothing to complain about.
Nobody knows what’s going to happen with #StevenBomb3, but whoever Sardonyx turns out to be, she (presumably a she) needs to be a big deal if the character is being teased as soon as the event is announced.

#StevenBomb2.0 is over, and GC13 and Ken are here to talk about its final episode: Chille Tid.
[Applause]
If you can’t tell, we’re excited that the long-awaited laugh track episode has finally arrived. Of course there’s plenty more to discuss. It seems we finally know that Malachite will be dealt with before Peridot.
Alas, however, poor Lapis. Ken may not feel much sympathy for her, but we can still hope for her to come around to us one day.
#StevenBomb3 to air July 13-17, 2015
We just can’t get a moment to breathe, can we? Just after #StevenBomb2.0 airs, we get #StevenBomb3 confirmed. And what is this #WeekOfSardonyx? That sounds suspiciously like something we would say if a long-awaited fusion was going to be unveiled. A fusion like Garnet and Pearl, for instance. We can only hope.
