Aw fudge you guys! You’re totally right about it being Sour Cream! I totally swapped baby sour cream for baby onion (because onion is an ageless weirdo) in that hang with rose quartz! My bad!

I love how Greg is a perfect example of non toxic masculinity, and instills the values of non toxic masculinity in his son, Steven. It shows that you don't have to be a jerk to be masculine. You can be supportive instead of competitive and still be masculine. Greg is one of the best dads in media, and Steven is lucky to have him. I also love all the masculine energy Steg puts out

I think Steg is super buff because Steven and Greg idolize each other. So the fusion is a combo/visualization of how each views the other. My son is a super hero! + my dad is a rock star! = Steg.

Greg is amazing! When he cut off his hair, he was saying that he didn't want Steven to have to make decisions like that. He wasn't going to be used as a bargaining chip. He cares so much about Steven! He also had a great role in Steven Universe Save the Light and gets to go on this adventure!!!

And to think Steven fusing with Greg proves once and for all that Steven can fuse with other humans besides Connie, in fact on some level seeing Steg come into existence kinda reminds me of the episode "We Need To Talk" because you know Greg tried to fuse with Rose but he couldn't, and since Greg fused with Steven in a weird way it's as close to fusing with Rose as Greg will ever get, not only that, now that Greg has fused with Steven, he now knows what fusiing with a gem is like.

This made me think how Steven needs to remember he is also half Greg, not just Rose/Pink Diamond.

Another interesting thing to point out as well, while the whole situation of Steven’s birth being comparable to the mom dying during childbirth thing is a thing, most people do t talk about how a good portion of fathers that go through the lose of their wife in childbirth tend to give their child up for adoption(due to the amount of pain they feel after losing the love of their life, and seeing the survivor of that incident being a very painful reminder), Greg keeping Steven even after he saw the love of his life disappear right in front of him is just a little extra hint to showing just how strong Greg truly is.

I really enjoyed this episode! I was hoping you'd cover non-gem characters.

I really like how Marty and Greg are polar opposites. Like, one of my favorite Greg lines is "Marty, women are people." Marty gets with Vidalia but then never supports her when she has Sour Cream, and then only connects with Sour Cream when he can benefit from it. He also treats music (and everything else) as a money opportunity. In the meantime, Greg nurtures Steven and remains part of his life. He also appreciates music for its own sake and as a way to connect with people, like you said.

*SU:F spoiler* I wonder if Steven's throwing things into lion's mane (like his mom's painting) is sort of like Greg's hoarding. He wants to keep it around, but he doesn't want to think about it.

Greg Universe is one of the best father figures in cartoon history, supportive but not controlling, kind but not a total push over, level headed but not inactive and best of all he want's to be in his son's life. He's criminally underrated in how much of a great father he is to his kid.

That comment about Steg being the ultimate ally reinforces a feeling I had that the best fusions are made of multiple kinds of love - Steg is the relation Steven and Greg have, sure, but Steg first appeared for *PEARL*. Steven loves her very much and she and Greg have gotten close.

Save Steven as the last one. We’re going to talk A LOT about it after everything is over. I’m counting on you

i think pearl has some sort of "trauma" when it comes to shape shift. (spoiler warning?) she had to shift into rose and then fake pink diamonds shattering so that's why she hasn't done it since future when she turned into steven.

I love how Steven is just like his dad, sensitive, caring, bold, goofy, musically talented etc

You mean Sower Cream right? They already established The Fisherman Yellow Tail as Onions dad. Hell it should already be known Sower Cream and Onion are half brothers.
