Spinel is totally the kind of person that would sympathize and feel bad for Steven if she were to ever find out how much he truly has suffered in the past during his childhood. If Steven were to ever tell someone like her all the awful and traumatic things that happened to him in the original Steven Universe series, she would probably even cry.
I COMPLETELY AGREE. Spinel already has really strong feelings for him in Future, and literally just by ONE facial expression he makes, she instantly tells he's not 'okay'.
She may not know why, but she knows he's upset about something. So instantly, she stops what she's doing and gets a bit more serious.
Because of this one interaction, as well as multiple other times in this episode, I agree with this ask - Spinel would absolutely sympathise with Steven, no matter what about. Even if its just his past with White, she can see something's upsetting him - so what if she found out about his messed up past?
Well, she cried in "I Am My Monster" when Steven corrupted. One of my BIGGEST wishes for Steven Universe Future was that these two could sit down and actually talk to each other. We hardly ever see Steven and Spinel interacting when there's no danger or peril going on. I just wish these two could talk about Pink, about being 'left behind', about understanding each others' pain.
And I agree, they would cry. It's Steven Universe, of course they're going to cry!!! XD
But whenever I think about this possible 'episode', I always see it ending with a hug. I've said it before and I'll say it again, gosh dammit, THESE TWO NEED TO HUG. PLATONICALLY OR ROMANTICALLY I DON'T CARE, I WANT THEM TO HUG!!! Out of EVERYONE in the show, these two are the ones who need to hug the most!!! (and that's why I love the back cover of the Steven Universe Movie concept art book so much...)
And, my dear friends, this is why I'm making Partners In Crime. Not because I'm one artist who wants to make a whole comic about my favourite characters of my favourite show...
just because i want these two characters to finally talk and hug.
*grabbing mlm shippers by the shoulders* guys nobody needs to be the twink. nobody needs to be the sub. nobody needs to be the femboy. they can both be big fat hairy men who bask in each others masculinity or they can both be unspeakable monstrous creatures with inhuman genitalia it’s okay I’m holding your hand. Let me show you the way

[ID: A comic juxtaposing screenshots from Nimona 2023 and drawings of a person watching the movie. The first screenshot is Ambrosius's introduction; he grins at the camera as the news anchors introduce him, his name in big print on the screen. The person watching thinks with a bored expression, "Ah. Ok. This guy is gonna be the jackass. Typical golden-boy stuck-up prince that thinks he's better than the underdog. I see where this is going.
The next screenshot is of Ambrosius and Ballister on the platform above the arena, Ambrosius doing his news anchor bit and saying, "Aaand will Ballister be broody on the biggest day of his life?" Ballister laughs at his antics. The person watching now has a small smile, as they think, "Huh! Aw, they're actually nice to each other and are friends! I wasn't expecting that, that's nice-"
The third and final screenshot is a shot from behind of Ballister leaning his head on Ambrosius's shoulder. The caption reads "the knighting ceremony is just moments away." The person watching now has a touched, soft expression, like they're holding back tears. They think "OH." as a partially transparent doodle behind them bends over crying and blubbering, with another doodle showing their heart shot through with an arrow. /end ID]
Bruce gets accosted by reporters and one of them asks "Is it true that you're in competition with Superman to win Batman's affections?" and he is so taken aback bc what the fuck are they even talking about? There are a million questions going through his head such as, since when was superman into batman? since when was this public knowledge? wtf did bruce say to imply that he was into batman as well? And he doesn't have an answer to any of these questions so he just smiles and says, "No, I'm not. The word competition implies that Superman has a chance, which he does not."
why did he say that? Bruce doesn't know, it just felt like that's how Bruce Wayne would've responded bc what's more Brucie than fighting with Superman for Batman's heart? anyway, upon reflection, this was maybe not the best response in terms of long term consequences, but he's committed to the bit now.
a week after all this goes down, news reporter Clark Kent is caught saying that Batman deserves better than Bruce Wayne, so is a third suitor putting his hat in the ring to win over batman?
imagine getting twenty four hours of a fraction of a taste of what marginalized bloggers on this fucking site have been told "doesn't break TOS" for the past 15 years and deciding to openly threaten to just nuke the entire website lmfao
