Rewatching SSO Hypno Steve’s debut in 2022: Reaction post

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3OyjuakRd0

I regularly rewatch videos from the Steve Saga and related series. It’s something I do to keep making fan-content for the Steve Saga, like incorrect quotes, posts for this blog, AUs, and fanart. Plus, I love rewatching this series. Despite the odd pacing and story decisions in the series, I keep coming back to it for its chaotic character dynamics, chill episodes, and background noise. I thought I would take you guys with me as I rewatch the debut episode of Hypno Steve in Steve Saga Origins.

fyi, this reaction post is going to be short. I’m just going to record thoughts that I had that I didn’t have from my first watch.

***

Dang, I forgot how candy-looking Blue Steves looked in Steve Saga. I’m really glad RQ made the Blue Steve’s skin more varied like the Green Steve’s skin, and not like a solid piece of candy.

***

Honestly, props to Hypno Steve for being a good actor. He made Blue Steve say that Dark Steve is chill. It’s impressive and surprising that Hypno Steve made someone praise his despised creator without losing it.

***

I think things would be so much different if Hypno Steve was introduced in 2021 instead of 2019. Can you imagine what would happen if Hypno Steve was first introduced in 2021, the cultural peak of Among Us?

With his one eye and the fact that he can make himself look like Blue Steve, the comments would have been FILLED with people comparing Hypno to Among Us imposters, instead of comments screaming at Hypno. I wonder if the Among Us comparisons would have been prevalent enough to prevent Hypno from gaining a strong fanbase if he was introduced in 2021.

This is just random “what ifs” that don’t mean anything. But I can’t help but be fascinating by the timing of things and how small changes can lead to big effects.

Rewatching the Blue Steve Saga in 2022: Reaction post

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtjzVstj3DQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtAhnD6m6IA

I’m only watching the first two episodes. I need to get back to writing RRFF and watching RQ after this, lol.

Guardian: Welcome to the Spirit World! I know this looks like the regular world, but not everything appears as it seems. The Spirit World only looks like this because you want it to look like the regular world.

*SPIT TAKE*

WOAH.

The Spirit World is a figment of the imagination! It takes the form of the setting you desire the most!

No wonder Illusion Steve wanted to take over the Spirit World. The Spirit World is basically an illusion that doesn’t need manual maintenance! It would have been perfect for his plan.

***

Blue Steve doesn’t feel at peace. I wonder what’s the biggest source of his distress. The fact that he doesn’t have Rainbow by his side, or the fact that he feels like he hasn’t done enough to help Rainbow?

Honestly, Blue Steve is a mood when you struggle to separate your work from your self-worth, rip.

***

I wonder why the Guardian doesn’t mention that Blue Steve can hang out with his other deceased friends (like the Elders he looks up to) in the Spirit World. If the reason is because Blue Steve never had friends and Rainbow is his only friend, I am going to be sad.

Lol, imagine if Guardian went like, “look, you have friends here *introduces Professor Red*” Blue Steve would go like, “this isn’t heaven. this is hell if you’re suggesting I hang out with him.”

***

Guardian: I sense a great power in you, Blue Steve. I think you might be even stronger than the Elders.

Alright...I’m going to go on a tangent here because I have a theory. A theory that will never become proven, but this theory can be used for an interesting AU. Here me out.

First of all, when does the Blue Steve Saga take place in the timeline?

Based on the evidence so far, I’m assuming that the series takes place right after Blue Steve passes on and gets absorbed by Rainbow in SSO.

But here’s my little theory: what if the series doesn’t actually take place between SSO and Sabre’s Steve Saga?

I was remembering how Rainbow Steve lost all his powers sometime before the Elemental arc, which means he also lost the energy/power that Blue Steve gave him.

Blue Steve lived on through Rainbow Steve as a source of power. So what if when Rainbow Steve lost his powers, that was when Blue Steve finally arrived in the Spirit World, released from Rainbow Steve? If that’s the case, then Blue Steve Saga actually takes place simultaneously during the Elemental and Time Steve arc, not before Sabre’s Steve Saga!

This means that Blue Steve arrived in the Spirit World several generations after his demise. Remember what Hypno said to Rainbow in SSO? Rainbow had to sleep to gain the full potential of his powers, especially his control over the water element. What if that multi-generational hibernation also allowed Blue Steve to reharness his power inside Rainbow? Since Blue Steve didn’t fully pass on yet, his power was able to grow for several generations. That would explain why Guardian sensed he was stronger than an Elder.

Blue Steve Saga taking place during the Elemental arc might explain the Demon Steves. Space and time were having issues during the Elemental arc, so maybe the Demon Steves arriving in the Spirit World is just one example of the space problems.

And remember that Light Steve was somehow in the Blue Steve Saga? Well, if Blue Steve Saga takes place during the Elemental arc, then now there is a reason for Light Steve to be in the Spirit World: he was killed during the Rainbow Town arc. I’ll admit that I don’t really understand how Light Steve works, so I don’t believe “him already being dead in the timeline” is a great explanation for his appearance in the Blue Steve Saga. But I guess with the space and time problems happening in the Elemental arc, that would handwave why Light Steve is in the Spirit World?

I really liked rambling about this wild theory and potential AU idea. I wanted to share it to you guys. I hoped you enjoyed this little reaction post!

Reaction to "Rainbow Void is Hunting Me Down” and “Shadow Sabre confronted me” - Rainbow Quest Eps. 134 and 135

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83TUcwuV9Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umdUrUh9ipk

Rainbow Void is Hunting Me Down

This was kinda a mood whiplash, going from the previous episode with Sabre screaming and this episode, with a solemn and slow mournful tone.

The conversation between Sabre and Time brings up the topic of “individual vs societal pressure.” While society definitely is more powerful in influencing people, Void is both an individual and an outsider of society. Both Steve society and Void did a lot of bad things to Rainbow’s mental health. So who is really stronger? Society or an outcast? And if Sabre is also an outsider, then him blaming himself for Rainbow’s demise adds another way to explore this theme.

Rainbow Void is struggling with the crystals. That makes him not a complete threat, I guess. That buys the heroes time.

The crystals’ powers changing over the generation is an interesting concept. I like it when the magic systems and powers aren’t rigid in a fantasy world’s worldbuilding, aka soft magic systems.

“Like I said, you’re all just pawns in my game, and it’s time for another pawn to fall, and for another piece to move forward.” So it seems like Funny is going to be the last straw in the camel’s back for Sabre 8)

Shadow Sabre confronted me

Oooooooh ho ho hooooooo, this deep edited voice is so smooth compared to Illusion and Hypno’s voices :0

And the edited intro? The intro is so good! It really sets a turning point for this series.

This is getting cinematic, holy moly. It’s been years since I last watched a Minecraft roleplay with cinematic scenes. I know that Twisted Rainbow also has machima scenes, so I know this video style isn’t going anywhere. I am excited!

First time seeing the intro, I got chills seeing “Rainbow Quest” go from rainbow to grayscale. But the second time seeing it, I just whispered “corporations after Pride Month”

*

Sabre: *losing it*

Time: 😶

This storyline would go a different direction if Time just froze Sabre in time at that moment.

*

I’m guessing Sabre is completely controlled now, and the scene where he sees color is his small moment of consciousness while being a corrupted pawn. That is a really interesting way to do a time skip.

*

Dang, Shadow Sabre is sounding like a therapist. I had different assumptions about this character, so I was surprised that Shadow is forcing Sabre to relive Rainbow Steve’s destruction to help him accept and move on from the past. Of course, he’s being an ass about it because he’s forcing Sabre to relive his trauma, and he’s doing that to make Sabre accept his evilness.

Is Sabre the only character who was corrupted by himself, while the other Steves were infected?

Shadow, don’t give Corruption and Soul all the credit. It was Void who absolutely destroyed all of Sabre’s mental health. All Corruption and Soul did was help out.

Shadow’s got a point: Sabre did follow the prophecy blindly and forced it upon others, which is pretty horrible if you think about it. Keeping morale up has been Sabre’s biggest worry, and I really want to see how RQ explores the themes of hope and morale, especially since it’s really highlighting that “hope from fake prophecies and stories will do more harm than good.” This kinda reminds me of my analysis post on the Hero narrative where I concluded the Steves will benefit if they stop depending on the Hero and instead be their own heroes. The “hope in a prophecy” theme supports my analysis. If you tie my analysis and the hope theme together, a potentially strong message for RQ to give is “don’t find hope in false stories, find hope within yourself.”

Did Sabre follow the prophecy to help the Steves or to help himself? The answer is: I don’t know. Because to my knowledge, Sabre doesn’t have a backstory in RQ, which means we never knew what his motivations and core values were before he found out about the Steves. Maybe I just have a bad memory after taking a 1 year break from Rainbow Quest.

“As long as you believe they were mistakes in the first place, you will live with regrets.” - Shadow Sabre being an evil therapist again

*

The “One” theme is getting so big that I almost didn’t expect it.

It’s satisfying to hear Sabre say, “you shouldn’t force people to become one in the same.” Originally, Sabre wanted Rainbow to be just like the other heroes or another person’s idea of a hero. Rainbow’s death was an eyeopener, not just a breaking point. Sabre realized he was wrong with how he treated Rainbow, and that’s why he’s so resistant against the Darkness wanting to make everyone “one.” It’s very twisted that his best friend had to die for him to learn this lesson, but it’s tragically ironic that Void destroying Rainbow actually gave Sabre the final push and immunity against Darkness’ philosophy.

The “one” theme will probably establish the Darkness and Rainbow Kingdom as thematic foils. Darkness is forcing people to unite as one, while Rainbow Kingdom is a group of Steves willing to unite as one for a common goal (though they’re uniting to survive against the Darkness, so ironically the Darkness is still forcing them to unite)

I wonder how the story is going to further dissect the “one” theme when Sol starts to become a problem in the Rainbow Kingdom.

Shadow Sabre: the darkness of a warming blanket of love

Me: PFFFFFFFTTT

Me: I’m sorry, I just - LMAO, that was just so unexpected, and with that delivery, I just lost it.

*

Alright, I’m going to end my reaction post here.

Shadow and Sabre have a discussion about love. And well, I have Thoughts about their discussion. A lot more Thoughts than I had when I reacted to Violet Steves’ debut.

For context, I am aromantic. I regularly listen to, read, and contribute to discussions about love and society’s evaluation of love, inside and outside of the aromantic community. Because of my aromantic perspective, I believe my Thoughts on Shadow and Sabre’s discussion of love may warrant their own post, so I’ll save my final thoughts about this episode for that future post!

It’ll be a while until I make that post though. I need to figure out how to word my Thoughts. And I know my Thoughts may change after I see the entirety of Shadow Sabre’s arc and the future role of the Violet Steves. So I’ll have to watch more Rainbow Quest and document more of my thoughts before I make that post.

To the people who watched the entirety of Rainbow Quest: are there more episodes where Shadow Sabre, Sabre, and the Violet Steves discuss love? Please let me know. It’ll really help me out with my new analysis project!

Final reaction thoughts to end the post:

Well, Darkness, if you wanted oblivion so badly, there’s a guy called Unnamed you can speak too. I think he wants the end of all life as much as you do.

Wow, so Void is a pawn of everything too, which is crazy because he seemed like the main guy in control for a very long time.

Honestly, I’m glad that this episode isn’t just an overdose of angst and pessimism. It was interesting and thoughtful, and Sabre talking about regret being normal and kindness being the way to go is a breath of fresh air, making this episode have a lot of great moments.

Rq Night-bow light-verse bonus: so if we do substitute EEB's role for soul steve's role than we get hypno in the role of soul steve, first of all it would be M instead of the red leader (who would NOT be happy) but sabre would also learn that red steves (or at least red steve, singular) are still alive way earlier, that's all i got other than the fact that the RQ!Swap!hypno would be perfect for stealth missions

(For all NRLR AU posts, please refer to the masterpost in the upcoming pinned post.)

So M would be kidnapped by Darkness to become Hypno Steve? And since Soul dies in canon RQ, Hypno might die too. Rip Hypno. You didn’t last long in this AU as much as your fans would have wanted.

Hopefully meeting the Red Steves earlier gives Sabre extra wisdom in this AU. He really needs it, rip.

Thank you for the ask!
