GC13 discusses the stories of two great tweeners: Pink Diamond and Tiger Millionaire.

Cookie Cat may be the more popular story to compare with Pink Diamond’s (he left his family behind!), but Tiger Millionaire provides a more satisfying comparison: he also left his family, but was also born to privilege and wrongly reviled.

We haven’t seen the ending to the tale of Pink Diamond though. Will Bismuth edit her sign?

GC13 and David discuss Ms. Sugar’s fifth Adventure Time episode: Susan Strong.

This was another Adventure Time episode where a humble seed planted early in the series would eventually grow into a mighty story arc. This same penchant for building a world before setting into the story arcs would be carried into Steven Universe.

We apologize for the lack of any Susan Strong in the Real Way jokes in the episode, but it’s such a beautiful night and we should just let ourselves be wherever we are.

GC13 discusses why, even as the theory was shunned by the majority of vocal users, he was convinced that Rose was Pink Diamond well before A Single Pale Rose aired.

There were hints scattered through the series, even in Sworn to the Sword which was the first indication that there was Pink Diamond (though people had been calling for it even before then).

There were also some really intense bits that would only make sense in retrospect, but this is all about the evidence (even things that seemed to be evidence but turned out not to be).

Also, while GC13 assures everyone that the episode length was an accident, he also assures everyone that it’s oh so fitting and he wishes it was intentional.
