Is everyone ready to rock out with Mr. Universe? This has definite promise: good music, great visuals. And sad, because… Well, you’ll see. Story for Steven is the second of our three unaired season-one episodes, so don’t miss it on April 9 at 5:30 PM EDT.
With all of the excitement about the crossover we almost forgot: the Steven Universe RPG, Attack the Light, finally released today! It’s $3 on iTunes and the Android marketplace.
Attack the Light is an RPG in the style of Paper Mario made for mobile devices, and the Steven Universe team was involved in building the game’s story and aesthetic (though obviously they had to leave the programming to the professionals). The reviews are looking good, so if you have an appropriate mobile device then definitely consider picking it up.
Don’t worry bro, none of this is canon.
Well that makes our job pretty easy this week, now doesn’t it? 😉
Other than that… Well, it happened. Without it being canon there can’t be lore implications of any kind, and yet… Well, they slipped in confirmation of at least one fun fact for us: how Steven uses his gem powers. We’ll see if we can spin that into a full-length article, but it’s just confirmation of a pattern that had been observed before.
Good morning!
It’s coming. We didn’t listen. 😉
So, tomorrow’s the big day. Uncle Grandpa shows up to help Steven work on summoning his shield from his gem, indirectly saving the Crystal Gems’ lives and ensuring that humanity still has a chance for survival. All in a day’s work for a reality warper, right?
This one was written and storyboarded by the Steven Universe team (Jeff Liu and Joe Johnston if you’re curious), but the introduction of Uncle Grandpa to the mix makes things… Difficult to predict, to say the least.
Don’t forget that it’s on at 5:30 PM EDT (but showing up early is better than showing up late).
Ah, the much-anticipated Story for Steven, our second season-one episode being aired in season two, is finally being aired next week. As much as we want to see an alligator, we probably won’t get it. We’ll definitely be tuned in at 5:30 PM EDT on April 9 though, just in case!

GC13, Ken, and Dakota discuss Joy Ride, the second episode to air which was produced as part of season two. The upcoming crossover episode between Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa, Say Uncle, also comes up: get ready, it’s coming!
Are Sour Cream and Onion step-brothers or half-brothers? Did we see Peridot walking down the road as Steven and the cool kids drove past? Can the Crystal Gems really hover in the air or is that just part of the great diamond conspiracy? Don’t look to us for answers: we just want to see you laughing in the pizza rain.
So this leaves us with Say Uncle airing this week. The previews look like they made it work, so let’s see what happens when a reality warper shows up on the beach with a mind to help Steven with his Gem powers.
Vroom vroom! Kill the road! Freedom smells like pizza and exhaust fumes—pizza delivery car exhaust fumes. That makes Road Killer this week’s song of the week. Just try not to crash into anything if a sudden pizza rain starts up—they can be tricky, showing up even when there isn’t a pizza cloud in the sky.

Normally our weekly speculation posts regard the world as a real thing and attempting to make predictions about it based on what we’ve learned—much like lore implications except more… Speculative.
This week we’re doing something different: we’re zooming out and analyzing the show as if it’s a written creation (strange, we know).
Well, Uncle Grandpa definitely doesn’t lose his reality warping powers just because he’s in Steven Universe, that’s for sure. Check out the preview:
